shall pay to Sublessor, in accordance with Paragraph 4 of the Master Lease,
Sublessee's proportionate share (which is agreed by Sublessor and Sublessee to

with respect to the Premises. Sublessee shall pay Sublessee's pro rata share of
Additional Rent as and when the same is due and payable to Master Lessor under
the Master lease. Sublessee shall be entitled to its pro rata share of all

time prior to the Commencement Date, or following the expiration or termination
thereof, or (ii) payable solely as a result of a default by Sublessor under any
of its obligations under the Master Lease, which default is not the result of
any default of Sublessee under any of its obligations under the Sublease.

Security Deposit) of Sublessee to Sublessor under the terms of this Sublease are

Security Deposit shall be as set forth in Paragraph 5 of the "Master Lease" (as
defined in Paragraph 7.1 of this Sublease) (as modified by Paragraph 7.3 of this
Sublease).

electronic research and development, light manufacturing and assembly of
components for the ecommerce industry, but only to the extent permitted by the
City of Fremont and all agencies and governmental authorities having
jurisdiction thereof.

               6.2 COMPLIANCE. Sublessor warrants that the improvements on the
Premises comply with all applicable covenants or restrictions of record and
applicable building codes, regulations and ordinances ("Applicable
Requirements") in effect on the Commencement Date. Said warranty does not apply
to the use to which Sublessee will put the Premises or to any alterations or
utility installations made or to be made by Sublessee. NOTE: Sublessee is solely
responsible for determining whether or not the zoning is appropriate for its
intended use, and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be
allowed.

               6.3 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND SUBLESSEE. Sublessee acknowledges
that:

                      (a) it has been advised by Brokers to satisfy itself with
respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the
electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects,
and compliance with Applicable Requirements), and their suitability for
Sublessee's intended use.

                      (b) Sublessee has made such investigation as it deems
prudent and necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all
responsibility therefor as the same relate to the Premises, and

                      (c) neither Sublessor, Sublessor's agents, nor any Broker
has made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said
matters other than as set forth in this Sublease.

               In addition, Sublessor acknowledges that:

                      (a) Broker has made no representations, promises or
warranties concerning Sublessee's ability to honor the Sublease or suitability
to occupy the Premises, and

                      (b) It is Sublessor's sole responsibility to investigate
the financial capacity and/or suitability of all proposed subtenants.

        7.     MASTER LEASE.

               7.1 Sublessor is the lessee of the Premises by virtue of a lease
("Master Lease"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and
incorporated herein by this reference, wherein Aetna Life Insurance Company is
the lessor ("Master Lessor").

               7.2 This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and
subordinate to the Master Lease.

               7.3 The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublessor
and Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and
conditions of the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master Lease
which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of
this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the purposes
of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Landlord" is used it
shall be deemed to mean the Sublessor herein; wherever in the Master Lease the
word "Tenant" is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessee herein; and
wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lease" is used it shall be deemed to mean
this Sublease.

               7.4 During the Term and for all periods subsequent thereto with
respect to obligations that have arisen prior to the termination of this
Sublease, Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and comply
with, for the benefit of Sublessor and Master Lessor, each and every obligation
of Sublessor under the Master Lease with respect to the Premises except as
otherwise provided herein and except as provided in Paragraph 18 hereof.

               7.5 The obligations that Sublessee has assumed and agreed to
perform under Paragraph 7.4 hereof are hereinafter referred to as the
"Sublessee's Assumed Obligations". The obligations that Sublessee has not
assumed or agreed to perform under Paragraph 7.4 hereof are hereinafter referred
to as the "Sublessor's Remaining Obligations".

               7.6 Sublessor hereby agrees for Sublessee's benefit to exercise
Sublessor's diligent good faith efforts to require Master Lessor to perform
Master Lessor's obligations pursuant to the Master Lease.

               7.7 Sublessor agrees to maintain the Master Lease during the
Term, subject, however, to any earlier termination of the Master Lease without
the fault of Sublessor, and to comply with or perform Sublessor's Remaining
Obligations and to hold Sublessee free and harmless from all liability,
judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands arising out of Sublessor's failure
to comply with or perform Sublessor's Remaining Obligations or its obligations
under the Sublease. Unless Master Lessor has required Sublessee to attorn to
Master Lessor as provided in Section 9.4(f), Sublessor further agrees not to
terminate the Master Lease voluntarily during the Term.

               7.8 Sublessor represents to Sublessee that the Master Lease is in
full force and effect and that no default exists on the part of any party to the
Master Lease.

        8.     ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASE AND DEFAULT.

               8.1 Sublessor hereby assigns and transfers to Master Lessor
Sublessor's interest in this Sublease, subject however to the provisions of
Paragraph 8.2 hereof.


                                      -4-

               8.2 Master Lessor, by executing this document, agrees that until
a "Default" (as defined in the Master Lease) shall occur in the performance of
Sublessor's Obligations under the Master Lease, that Sublessor may receive,
collect and enjoy the Rent accruing under this Sublease. However, if Sublessor
shall default in the performance of its obligations to Master Lessor then Master
Lessor may, at its option, receive and collect, directly from Sublessee, all
Rent owing and to be owed under this Sublease. Master Lessor shall not, by
reason of this assignment of the Sublease nor by reason of the collection of the
Rent from the Sublessee, be deemed liable to Sublessee for any failure of
Sublessor to perform and comply with Sublessor's Remaining Obligations.

               8.3 Sublessor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
Sublessee, upon receipt of any written notice from Master Lessor stating that a
Default exists in the performance of Sublessors obligations under the Master
Lease, and such obligations are not Sublessee's Assumed Obligations (in which
event Sublessee shall promptly commence the cure of any such Default), to pay to
Master Lessor the Rent due and to become due under the Sublease. Sublessor
agrees that Sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and
request from Master Lessor, and that Sublessee shall pay such Rent to Master
Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Default
exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Sublessor to the
contrary and Sublessor shall have no right or claim against Sublessee for any
such Rent so paid by Sublessee.
               8.4 No changes or modifications shall be made to this Sublease
without the consent of Master Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.

        9.     CONSENT OF MASTER LESSOR.

               9.1 If the Master Lease requires that Sublessor obtain the
consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor, then this Sublease
shall not be effective unless, within thirty (30) days of full execution of this
Sublease, Master Lessor signs this Sublease, thereby giving its consent to this
Subletting.

               9.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Sublease, if Master Lessor's consent is not obtained within thirty (30) days
after the date of full execution of the Sublease, Sublessor or Sublessee shall
have the right to terminate the Sublease, and Sublessor promptly shall return to
Sublessee all sums paid by Sublessee to Sublessor in connection with its
execution of the Sublease.

               9.3 If the obligations of Sublessor under the Master Lease have
been guaranteed by third parties, then neither this Sublease nor the Master
Lessor's consent shall be effective unless, within ten (10) days of the date
hereof, said guarantors sign this Sublease, thereby giving their consent to this
Sublease.

               9.4 If Master Lessor does give such consent, then:


                                      -5-
   6

                      (a) Such consent shall not release Sublessor or its
obligations or alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and
perform and comply with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed
under the Master Lease.

                      (b) The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee
or anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by
Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease.

                      (c) The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment.

                      (d) In the event of any Default of Sublessor under the
Master Lease, Master Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any
guarantors or anyone else liable under the Master Lease or this Sublease without
first exhausting Master Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity
liable thereon to Master Lessor.

                      (e) Master Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings
and assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or
modifications thereto without notifying Sublessor or anyone else liable under
the Master Lease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not
relieve such persons from liability.

                      (f) If Sublessor shall default in its obligations under
the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without being obligated
to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to Master Lessor, in which event
Master Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Sublessor under this Sublease
from the time of the exercise of said option to termination of this Sublease but
in no event shall Master Lessor be liable for any prepaid Rent or any Security
Deposit paid by Sublessee unless such amounts shall have been transferred by
Sublessor to Master Lessor, nor shall Master Lessor be liable for any other
Defaults of the Sublessor under the Sublease.

               9.5 The signatures at the end of this document of Master Lessor
and any Guarantors of Sublessor shall constitute their consent to the terms of
this Sublease.

               9.6 Master Lessor acknowledges that, to the best of Master
Lessor's knowledge, no Default of obligations to be performed by Sublessor or by
Master Lessor presently exists under the Master Lease and that the Master Lease
is in full force and effect.

               9.7 If Sublessor defaults under its obligations to be performed
under the Master Lease, Master Lessor agrees to deliver to Sublessee a copy of
any such notice of default. Sublessee shall have the right, within ten (10) days
after service of such notice of default on Sublessee, to cure any Default of
Sublessor described in any such notice of default. If such Default is cured by
Sublessee, then Sublessee shall have the right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Sublessor.

        15. SUBLESSOR'S RETAINED PREMISES. Sublessee acknowledges that the
Premises comprise less than the entirety of the real property leased to
Sublessor pursuant to the Master Lease. That portion of such real property not

has been advised that the Tiled Warehouse and the Premises share common utility
service, and Sublessee hereby agrees not to take any action during the Term that
results in or is likely to result in any interruption in utility service to the
Tiled Warehouse.

        16.    INDEMNIFICATION.

               16.1 SUBLEASE'S INDEMNIFICATION. Except to the extent caused
solely by Sublessor's active negligence or willful misconduct, Sublessee shall
indemnify, protect, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublessor and
hold harmless Sublessor from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
judgments, causes of action, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' and experts' fees), caused by or arising in connection with: (i) the
use, occupancy or condition of the Premises; (ii) the negligence or willful
misconduct of Sublessee or its employees, contractors, agents, or invitees;
(iii) a breach of Sublessee's obligations under this Sublease; (iv) a breach of
Sublessee's obligations under the Master Lease; or (v) any Hazardous Material
(as defined in Section 32(a) of the Master Lease) used, stored, released,
disposed of, generated or transported by Sublessee, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees in, on or about the Premises or the Building.

               16.2 SUBLESSOR'S INDEMNIFICATION. Except to the extent caused
solely by Sublessee's active negligence or willful misconduct, Sublessor shall
indemnify, protect, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublessee and

judgments, causes of action, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' and experts' fees), caused solely by or arising solely in connection
with any termination of the Sublease as a result of a voluntary act or a default
by Sublessor under the Sublease or the Master Lease; provided, however that
Sublessor's liability pursuant to such indemnification shall not exceed the sum
of (a) Sublessee's out-of-pocket moving costs to new space in the Bay Area and
associated rewiring costs, in an amount not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000.00) and (b) Sublessee's out-of-pocket rent increases an amount equal to

lease as a result of such termination of the Sublease.

               16.3 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION. The foregoing indemnification
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

        17. DELAY IN DELIVERY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this SUBLEASE, if Sublessor has not delivered possession of the
Premises to Sublessee by May 1, 1999 for any reason other than an act or

Sublease, and Sublessor promptly shall return to Sublessee all sums paid by
Sublessee to Sublessor in connection with its execution of the Sublease.

        18. MASTER LEASE PROVISIONS EXCEEDED. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Sublease, the following provisions of the Master
Lease hereby are expressly excluded from the Sublease; Basic Lease Information
(except for "Premises Address", "Project", "Building", and "Permitted Use",
which are hereby incorporated in this Sublease); Sections 2, 3, 4(a), 7, the
first sentence of Section 8(a), and Sections 9 and 38; Exhibits A, B, C and G;
and Addendum 1. With respect to Section 15(a), references to "Landlord" shall
mean only Master Lessor. With respect to Sections 22(a)(3), 22(f)(A) and 23,
Sublessor shall not exercise the termination rights set forth therein without
obtaining the prior written consent of Sublessee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

        19. SURRENDER OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Sublease, in no event shall Sublessee's obligation to
surrender the Premises require Sublessee to repair or restore the Premises to a
condition better than the condition in which the Premises existed as of the
Commencement Date. Additionally, Sublessee shall not be required to remove, at
the expiration of the Term or otherwise, alterations or improvements in the
Premises made by or for the account of Sublessor or any predecessor to Sublessor
prior to the Commencement Date.

        20. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Sublessor shall request Master Lessor to
obtain a subrogation waiver from Master Lessor's insurer for the benefit of
Sublessee; provided, however, that Sublessor shall have no liability to
Sublessee if such subrogation waiver is not obtained from Master Lessor's
insurer.

        21. AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION. Any modification or amendment of the
Master Lease by Sublessor and Master Lessor shall be subject to Sublessee's
right of quiet enjoyment, as provided in Paragraph 22 of this Sublease.

        22. QUIET ENJOYMENT, RIGHT TO CURE. So long as Sublessee is not in
default of this Sublease and provided further that Sublessee pays all Base Rent
and Additional Rent and performs all of Sublessee's covenants and agreements
contained herein, Sublessee shall peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease. If, however, Sublessor
defaults in the performance or observance of any of Sublessor's Remaining
Obligations or fails to perform Sublessor's stated obligations under this
Sublease to enforce, for Sublessee's benefit, Master Lessor's obligations under
the Master Lease, then Sublessee shall give Sublessor notice specifying in what
manner Sublessor has defaulted, and if such default shall not be cured by
Sublessor within thirty (30) days thereafter (except that if such default cannot
be cured within said thirty (30)-day period, this period shall be extended for
an additional reasonable time, provided that Sublessor commences to cure such
default within such thirty (30)-day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to
effect such cure as quickly as possible), then, in addition, Sublessee shall be
entitled, at Sublessee's option, to cure such default and promptly collect from
Sublessor Sublessee's reasonable expenses in so doing (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs). Sublessee shall not be
required, however, to wait the entire cure period described herein if earlier
action is required to comply with the Master Lease or with any applicable
governmental law, regulation or order. Sublessor


                                      -9-

shall promptly provide to Sublessee copies of all notices, including notices of
default, received by Sublessor from Master Lessor.

        23. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Sublease, except to the extent that the Hazardous Material in
question was released, emitted, used, stored, manufactured, transported or
discharged by Sublessee, or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees,
Sublessee shall not be responsible for and hereby is released from any and all
losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages, claims, suits,
actions and causes of action with respect to any Hazardous Material present on
or about the Premises, the Building or the surrounding property, or the soil,
groundwater or surface water thereof, that was released, emitted, used, stored,
manufactured, transported or discharged by Sublessor, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees. In addition, to the extent that Master Lessor
indemnifies Sublessor for the cost of remediation or cleanup work required by
any governmental agency to be performed on the Premises as a result of any
Hazardous Materials existing on the Premises on the commencement date of the
Master Lease, Sublessee shall be so indemnified by Sublessor.

        24. BINDING EFFECT. This Sublease will be binding on and will inure to
the benefit of the Sublessor and Sublessee, their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors-in-interest and assigns.

        25. AMENDMENT. This Sublease may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing approved by Sublessor, Sublessee and Master Landlord and
signed on their behalf.

        26. HEADINGS. The headings in this Sublease are for purposes of
reference only and will not limit or define the meaning of any provision of this
Sublease.

        27. SUBLESSOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY. Sublessor reserves the right to enter
the Premises on reasonable notice and at reasonable times to Sublessee to
inspect the Premises or the performance by Sublessee of the terms and conditions
of this Sublease. In an emergency, no prior notice will be required for
Sublessor's entry.

        28. LATE PAYMENT. The late payment of any rent will cause Sublessor to
incur additional costs, including the cost to maintain in full force the Master
Lease, administration and collection costs, and processing and accounting
expenses. If Sublessor has not received any installment of Base Rent or
Additional Rent within five (5) days alter receipt of written notice from
Sublessor that said amount is due, Sublessee will pay five percent (5%) of the
delinquent amount, which the parties agree represents a reasonable estimate of
the cost incurred by Sublessor. In addition, all delinquent amounts will bear
interest from the date the amount was due until paid in full at a rate per annum
("Applicable Interest Rate") equal to the greater of (a) five percent (5%) per
annum plus the then federal discount rate on advances to member banks in effect
at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on the 25th day of the month
preceding the date of the Sublease or (b) ten percent (10%). However, in no
event will the Applicable Interest Rate exceed the maximum interest rate
permitted by law that may be charged under these circumstances. Sublessor and
Sublessee recognize that the damage Sublessor will suffer in the


                                      -10-
   11

event of Sublessee's failure to pay this amount is difficult to ascertain and
that the late charge and interest are the best estimate of the damage that
Sublessor will suffer. If a late charge becomes payable for any three (3)
installments or Rent within any twelve (12) month period, the Base Rent will
automatically become payable quarterly in advance.

        29. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Sublease and the Exhibits hereto sets forth
all the agreements between Sublessor and Sublessee concerning the Premises, and
there are no other agreements either oral or written other than as set forth in
this Sublease and, to the extent incorporated herein, the Master Lease.

        30. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Sublease.

        31. INTERPRETATION. This Sublease has been fully negotiated at
arms-length between the parties and after advice by counsel and other
representatives chosen by the parties, and the parties are fully informed with
respect thereto. No party shall be deemed the scrivener of this Sublease and the
provisions of this Sublease and the Exhibits hereto shall be construed as a
whole according to their common meaning and not strictly for or against any
party.

        NOW, THEREFORE, Sublessor and Sublessee have executed this Sublease as
of the date and year first hereinabove written.

The Premises are a part of and are contained in the Building specified in the Basic Lease Information. The location and dimensions of the Premises are depicted on Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

TERM The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall be for the period of months specified in the Basic Lease Information, commencing on the earliest to occur of the following dates (the "Commencement Date"): (a) The date the Tenant Improvements are approved by the appropriate governmental agency as being in accordance with its building code and the building permit issued for such improvements, as evidenced by the issuance of a final building inspection approval; or (b) The date Landlord's architect and general contractor have both certified in writing to Tenant that the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, or (c) The date Tenant commences occupancy of the Premises; when the Commencement Date has been determined pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. 4. RENT (a) BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance on the first day of each month, without further notice or demand and without offset or deduction, the monthly installments of rent specified in the Basic Lease Information (the "Base Rent"). Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Prepaid Rent specified in the Basic Lease Information to be applied toward Base Rent for the month of the Term specified in the Basic Lease Information. 18 (b) ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Tenant's proportionate share (which is hereby agreed to be Tenant's Proportionate Share as specified in the Basic Lease Information) of the following items related to the Building, the Property, and/or the Outside Areas (as defined in Paragraph 4(b)(3)) (the "Additional Rent"): (1) TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. All real estate taxes and assessments shall include any form of assessment, license, fee, tax, levy, penalty (if a result of Tenant's delinquency), or tax (other than net income, estate, succession, inheritance, transfer or Real estate taxes and franchise taxes), imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, or by any city, county, state or federal government or any improvement or other district or division thereof, whether such tax is (i) determined by the area of the Premises, the Building or the Property, or any part thereof, or the Rent and other sums payable hereunder by Tenant or by other tenants, including, but not limited to, any gross income or excise tax levied by any of the foregoing authorities with respect to receipt of Rent or other sums due under this Lease; (ii) upon any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, the Building or the Property, or any part thereof; (iii) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring any interest in the Premises, the Building or the Property; (iv) levied or assessed in lieu of, in substitution for, or in addition to, existing or additional taxes against the Premises, the Building or the Property, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties; or (v) surcharged against the parking area. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services which may formerly have been provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of the parties that all new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges due to Proposition 13 or any other cause are to be included within the definition of real property taxes for purposes of this Lease. (2) INSURANCE. All insurance premiums, including premiums for "all risk," fire and extended coverage (including earthquake endorsements) insurance for the Building, public liability insurance, other insurance as Landlord reasonably deems necessary, and any deductibles paid under policies of any such insurance. (3) OUTSIDE AREAS EXPENSES. All reasonable costs to maintain, repair, replace, supervise, insure (including provision of public liability insurance) and administer the areas outside of the Building ("Outside Areas"), including parking areas, landscaping (including maintenance contracts), sprinkler systems, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, lighting systems, and utilities for Outside Areas. (4) PARKING CHARGES. Any parking charges or other costs levied, assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any governmental authority or insurer (not affiliated with Landlord) in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building, the Outside Areas and/or the Property. (5) MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF BUILDING. All reasonable costs to maintain, repair, and replace, the roof coverings, the floor slab, and the painting of the exterior walls of the Building, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ("HVAC") systems serving the Building and/or the Premises (including the cost of maintenance contracts), and all reasonable costs to maintain, repair and replace all utility and plumbing systems, fixtures and equipment located outside the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of replacement of capital expenditures described in this subparagraph 4(b)(5) only on a pro rata basis corresponding to the portion of the useful life of the capital expenditure that will be exhausted during the remainder of the Term. (6) MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION. All reasonable costs for management and administration of the Building and the Property, including a property management fee, accounting, auditing, billing, postage, employee benefits, payroll taxes, etc. -2- 19 (c) PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT. (1) Upon commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall submit to Tenant an estimate of monthly Additional Rent for the period between the Commencement Date and the following December 31 and Tenant shall pay such estimated Additional Rent on a monthly basis concurrently with the payment of the Base Rent. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change therein. By March 1 of each calendar year, Landlord shall endeavor to provide to Tenant a statement showing the actual Additional Rent due to Landlord for the prior calendar year, prorated from the Commencement Date during the first year. If the total of the monthly payments of Additional Rent that Tenant has made for the prior calendar year (or portion thereof during which this Lease was in effect) is less than the actual Additional Rent chargeable to Tenant for such prior calendar year, then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) business days after receipt of such statement from Landlord. Any overpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent for the prior calendar year shall be credited towards the Additional Rent next due. (2) The actual Additional Rent for the prior calendar year shall be used for purposes of calculating Tenant's monthly payment of estimated Additional Rent for the current year, subject to adjustment as provided above, except that in any year in which resurfacing of the parking area or material roof repairs are planned, Landlord may include the estimated cost of such work in the estimated monthly Additional Rent. Landlord shall make the final determination of Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease terminates as soon as possible after termination of such year. Tenant shall remain liable for payment of any amount due to Landlord in excess of the estimated Additional Rent previously paid by Tenant, and, conversely, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any overpayment, even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises. Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent as herein provided. (d) GENERAL PAYMENT TERMS. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are referred to as the "Rent". All Rent shall be paid without deduction, offset or abatement in lawful money of the United States of America. Checks are to be made payable to AEtna Property Services and shall be mailed to: AEtna Property Services, Kodak Center, 1740 Technology Drive, #600, San Jose, California 95110, or to such other person or place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate to Tenant in writing. Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated for the portion thereof falling due within the Term. 5. LATE CHARGE Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment to Landlord of Rent, or other amounts due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. If any Rent or other sums due from Tenant are not received by Landlord or by Landlord's designated agent within ten (10) days after their due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount, plus any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant's late payment. Landlord's acceptance of such late charges shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount or estop Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted under this Lease. 6. SECURITY DEPOSIT Concurrently with Tenant's execution of the Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information as security for the full and faithful performance of each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease. Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit as may be reasonably necessary (a) to remedy Tenant's default in the payment of any Rent, (b) to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, (c) to clean the Premises upon termination of this Lease, (d) to reimburse Landlord for the payment of any amount which Landlord may reasonably spend or be required to spend by reason of Tenant's default, or (e) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by -3- 20 reason of Tenant's default. Should Tenant faithfully and fully comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, within twenty (20) days following the expiration of the Term, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant or, at the option of Landlord, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on such deposit. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, within five (5) days after written demand therefor Tenant shall deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full extent of the above amount, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease. In the event Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the then remaining amount of the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect to such Security Deposit. 7. POSSESSION (a) TENANT'S RIGHT OF POSSESSION. Subject to Paragraph 7(b), Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Premises upon commencement of the Term. (b) DELAY IN DELIVERING POSSESSION. If for any reason whatsoever, Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant at the commencement of the Term, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord, or Landlord's agents, be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. Tenant shall not be liable for Rent until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. The expiration date of the Term shall be extended by the same number of days that Tenant's possession of the Premises was delayed. 8. USE OF PREMISES (a) PERMITTED USES. The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Uses specified in the Basic Lease Information and no other. The Premises shall not be used to create any nuisance or trespass, for any illegal purpose, for any purpose not permitted by applicable laws and regulations, or for any purpose that would vitiate the insurance or increase the premiums for insurance on the Premises or the Building. Tenant agrees not to overload the floor(s) of the Building. (b) COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, faithfully observe and comply with all Municipal, State and Federal statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, requirements. and orders, now in force or which may hereafter be in force pertaining to the Premises or Tenant's use thereof, including without limitation, any statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, requirements, or orders requiring, as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises, installation of fire sprinkler systems, seismic reinforcement and related alterations, whether substantial in cost or otherwise, and all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property ("Private Restrictions") now in force or which may hereafter be in force; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to make structural changes to the Premises or Building not related to Tenant's specific use of the Premises unless the requirement for such changes is imposed as a result of any improvements or additions made or proposed to be made at Tenant's request. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such rule, regulation, ordinance, statute or Private Restrictions, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. 9. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES By entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as suitable for Tenant's intended use and as being in good and sanitary operating order, condition and repair, AS IS, and without representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition, use or occupancy which may he made thereof. Any exceptions to the foregoing must be by written agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant. 10. SURRENDER Tenant agrees that on the last day of the Term, or on the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in good condition and repair (damage by Acts of God, fire, and normal wear and tear excepted), but with all interior walls cleaned so they appear painted, any carpets cleaned, and with all floors cleaned, together with all alterations, additions and improvements which may have been made in or on the Premises; except that Tenant shall remove trade fixtures put in at the expense of Tenant and any -4- 21 improvements as to which Landlord has, prior to the date of surrender, consented to or requested removal; and (b) otherwise in accordance with Paragraph 32(f). Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal and otherwise restore the Premises in accordance with the preceding sentence at Tenant's sole cost and expense. On or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's personal property from the Premises. All property of Tenant not so removed, unless such non-removal is consented to by Landlord, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, provided that in such event Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all costs incurred in storing and disposing of such abandoned property of Tenant. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 10 and of Paragraph 32(f), Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay. 11. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS (a) Tenant shall not make, or permit to be made, any alteration or addition to the Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, Tenant without Landlord's consent, shall be entitled to make interior, non-structural alterations or additions to the Premises not requiring any permits which separately or in the aggregate over each twelve (12) month period of the Term do not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). (b) Any alteration or addition to the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in compliance with all applicable laws and requirements requested by Landlord, and in accordance with plans and specifications approved in writing by Landlord. (c) In the event Landlord consents to a proposed alteration or addition, such consent shall include Landlord's advice in writing, whether or not such proposed alteration or addition shall be required to be removed at the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Landlord fails so to advise Tenant regarding whether or not a proposed alteration or addition may be removed at the expiration or termination of this Lease, then Tenant, may, at Tenant's option, remove the alteration or addition, or surrender the alteration or addition to Landlord with the Premises, without compensation to Tenant, at the expiration or termination of this Lease. All additions, alterations or improvements, including, but not limited to, heating, lighting, electrical, air conditioning, fixed partitioning, drapery, wall covering and paneling, built-in cabinet work and carpeting installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part of the Building, shall at once be and become the property of Landlord, and shall not be deemed trade fixtures. (d) Tenant agrees not to proceed to make such alterations or additions, notwithstanding consent from Landlord to do so, until five (5) days after Tenant's receipt of such consent, in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material suppliers for payment for tenant's improvements. Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of work. 12. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES (a) MAINTENANCE BY TENANT. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, (1) keep and maintain in good order and condition, repair, and replace the Premises, and every part thereof, including glass, windows, window frames, skylights, interior and exterior doors and door frames, and the interior of the Premises, (excepting only those portions of the Building to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Paragraph 12(c) below), (2) keep and maintain in good order and condition, repair, and replace all utility and plumbing systems, fixtures and equipment, including without limitation, electricity, gas, water, and sewer, located in or on the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for these costs of replacement only on a pro rata basis corresponding to the portion of the useful life of the capital expenditure that will be exhausted during the remainder of the Term, (3) furnish all expendables, including light bulbs, paper goods and soaps, used in the Premises, (4) repair all damage to the Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. Tenant shall not do anything to cause any damage, deterioration or unsightliness to the Building and the Outside Areas. -5- 22 (b) LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR AT TENANT'S EXPENSE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Tenant's expense, to enter the Premises and perform Tenant's maintenance, repair and replacement work. Within ten (10) days after invoice therefor from Landlord, Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such maintenance, repair and replacement work. (c) MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 12(a), 22 and 23, and further subject to Tenant's obligation under Paragraph 4 to reimburse Landlord, in the form of Additional Rent, for Tenant's Proportionate Share of the cost and expense of the following items, Landlord agrees to repair and maintain the following items: the structural portions of the roof and the roof coverings (provided that Tenant installs no additional air conditioning or other equipment on the roof that damages structural portions of the roof or the roof coverings), the foundation, the floor slab, the load bearing walls, and the exterior walls (excluding any glass therein but including the painting thereof) of the Building; the HVAC systems serving the Building and/or the Premises; the utility and plumbing systems, fixtures, and equipment located outside the Building; and the parking areas, landscaping, sprinkler systems, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and lighting systems in the Outside Areas. Landlord shall not be required to repair or maintain conditions created due to any act, negligence or omission of Tenant or its agents, contractors, employees or invitees. Landlord's obligation hereunder to repair and maintain is subject to the condition precedent that Landlord shall have received written notice of the need for such repairs and maintenance. Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report such defects shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord by reason of such condition. (d) TENANT'S WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Tenant hereby expressly waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to terminate this Lease, as provided for in California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942, and 1932(1), respectively, and any similar or successor statute or law in effect or any amendment thereof during the Term. 13. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE Landlord shall purchase and keep in force fire, extended coverage and "all risk" insurance covering the Building in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the replacement cost of the Building. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all reasonable requirements pertaining to the Premises of any insurer necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance, covering the Building and appurtenances. Landlord, at Tenant's Cost, may maintain "Loss of Rents" insurance, insuring that the Rent will be paid in a timely manner to Landlord for a period of at least twelve (12) months if the Premises are destroyed or rendered unusable or inaccessible by any cause insured against under this Lease. 14. TENANT'S INSURANCE (a) PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, secure and keep in force a "broad form" public liability insurance and property damage policy covering the Premises and the Outside Areas, insuring Tenant, and naming Landlord and its lenders as additional insureds, against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all Outside Areas. The minimum limit of coverage of such policy shall be in the amount of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injury or death of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in the amount of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injury or death of more than one person in any one accident or occurrence, shall include an extended liability endorsement providing contractual liability coverage (which shall include coverage for Tenant's indemnification obligations in this Lease), and shall contain a severability of interest clause or a cross liability endorsement. Such insurance shall further insure Landlord and Tenant against liability for property damage of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). The limit of any insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage, and loss payable clauses shall be subject to Landlord's approval. Such policies of insurance shall be issued as primary policies and not contributing with or in excess of coverage that Landlord may carry, by an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of California for the issuance of such type of insurance coverage and rated A:XIII or better in Best's Key Rating Guide. A copy of -6- 23 said policy or a certificate evidencing to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction that such insurance is in effect shall be delivered to Landlord upon commencement of the Term, and thereafter whenever Landlord shall reasonably request. (b) PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect on all of its fixtures and equipment on the Premises, a policy or policies of fire and extended coverage insurance with standard coverage endorsement to the extent of the full replacement cost thereof. During the term of this Lease the proceeds from any such policy or policies of insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the fixtures and equipment so insured. Landlord shall have no interest in the insurance upon Tenant's equipment and fixtures and will sign all documents reasonably necessary in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss by Tenant. Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant's possessions. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate evidencing to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction that such insurance is in effect, and whenever required, shall satisfy Landlord that such policy is in full force and effect. 15. INDEMNIFICATION (a) OF LANDLORD. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and agents, employees, partners, shareholders, directors, invitees, and independent contractors (collectively "Agents") of Landlord against and from any and all claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (1) Tenant's use of the Premises or from any activity done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises, the Building or the Property, and (2) any act, neglect, fault, willful misconduct or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's Agents or from any breach or default in the terms of this Lease by Tenant, and (3) any action or proceeding brought on account of any matter in items (1) or (2), except to the extent caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord or its agents. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever (except that which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord or its Agents or by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, if such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failure), and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 15 shall survive any termination of this Lease. (b) NO IMPAIRMENT OF INSURANCE. The foregoing indemnity shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under any policies required to be carried by either party pursuant to this Lease, to the extent that such policies cover the peril or occurrence that results in the claim that is subject to the foregoing indemnity. 16. SUBROGATION Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any claim against the other for any loss or damage to any of their property located on or about the Premises, the Building or the Property that is caused by or results from perils covered by property insurance carried by the respective parties, to the extent of the proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect to such loss or damage, whether or not due to the negligence of the other party or its agents. Because the foregoing waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company or any other person, each party now agrees to immediately give to its insurer written notice of the terms of these mutual waivers and shall have their insurance policies endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage because of these waivers. Nothing in this Paragraph 16 shall relieve a party of liability to the other for failure to carry insurance required by this Lease. 17. ABANDONMENT Tenant shall not abandon the Premises at any time during the Term. In the event of abandonment, the rights and remedies of Tenant and Landlord shall be determined in accordance with the applicable California statutes in effect at the time of abandonment. -7- 24 18. FREE FROM LIENS Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property, free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. 19. ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed in, upon, or about the Premises or the Property any signs, advertisements or notices without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or without complying with applicable law, and will not conduct, or permit to be conducted, any sale by auction on the Premises or otherwise on the Property. Tenant shall remove any sign, advertisement or notice placed on the Premises by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall repair any damage or injury to the Premises or the Property caused thereby, all at Tenant's expense. If any signs are not removed, or necessary repairs not made, Landlord shall have the right to remove the signs and repair any damage or injury to the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and expense. 20. UTILITIES Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone service and all other materials and services supplied to the Premises. If Tenant fails to pay for any of the foregoing when due, Landlord may pay the same and add such amount to the Rent. 21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice (except in the case of an emergency, for which no notice shall be required), and subject to Tenant's reasonable security arrangements, for the purpose of inspecting the same or showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants or to alter, improve, maintain and repair the Premises as required or permitted of Landlord under the terms hereof, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned (except for actual damages resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents); and Tenant shall permit Landlord to post notices of non-responsibility and ordinary "for sale" or "for lease" signs, provided that Landlord may post such "for lease" signs and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants only during the six (6) months prior to termination of this Lease. No such entry shall be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises. 22. DESTRUCTION AND DAMAGE (a) If the Building is damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option: (1) In the event of total destruction (which shall mean destruction or damage in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises, elect either to commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or not to repair or restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the date (the "Casualty Discovery Date") Landlord obtains actual knowledge of such destruction. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such total destruction. (2) In the event of a partial destruction (which shall mean destruction or damage to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises for which Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost to repair and restore such partial destruction and, if the damage thereto is such that the Premises may be substantially repaired or restored to its condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty Discovery Date, Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair and restoration, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If such repair and restoration requires longer than one hundred eighty (180) days or if the insurance proceeds therefor (plus any amounts Tenant may elect or is obligated to contribute) are not sufficient to cover the cost of such -8- 25 repair and restoration, Landlord may elect either to so repair and restore, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or not to repair or restore, in which event the Lease shall terminate. In either case, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention within sixty (60) days after the Casualty pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and (2) the rent and any additional rent payable by the assignee or sublessee to Tenant, after deducting the costs incurred by Tenant in connection with any such assignment or sublease. The assignment or sublease agreement, as the case may be, after approval by Landlord, shall not be amended without Landlord's prior written consent, and shall contain a provision directing the assignee or subtenant to pay the rent and other sums due thereunder directly to Landlord upon receiving written notice from Landlord that Tenant is in default under this Lease with respect to the payment of Rent. Landlord's collection of such rent and other sums shall not constitute an acceptance by Landlord of attornment by such assignee or subtenant. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use shall not be deemed to be a consent to any other or subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use, and consent to any assignment or subletting shall in no way relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Any assignment or subletting without Landlord's consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a Default under this Lease. (d) Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable fees, not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500) per transaction, incurred in connection with Landlord's review and processing of documents regarding any proposed assignment or sublease. (e) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions, conditions and limitations imposed by this Paragraph 24 on Tenant's ability to assign or transfer this Lease or any interest herein, to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to transfer or assign any right or privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or to allow any other person to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof, are, for the purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as amended from time to time, and for all other purposes, reasonable at the time that the Lease was entered into, and shall be deemed to be reasonable at the time that Tenant seeks to assign or transfer this Lease or any interest herein, to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to transfer or assign any right or privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or to allow any other person to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof. Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial destruction. (3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 22, in the event of damage to the Premises occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice of such election given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Casualty Discovery Date. Tenant at is option shall have up to 120 days to vacate, from date of Landlord's notice; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay the full scheduled monthly base rent without offset, except for those portions of the Premises that Landlord is occupying or making unusable to Tenant as a result of Landlord's reconstruction or repair of the Premises, while Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises. (b) If the Premises is damaged by any peril not covered by extended coverage insurance, and the cost to repair such damage exceeds any Amount Tenant may agree to contribute, Landlord may elect either to commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or not to repair or restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date on which Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord, except that if the damage to the Premises materially impairs Tenant's ability to continue its business operations in the Premises, then this Lease shall he deemed to have terminated as of the date such damage occurred. -9- 26 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 22, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, exercisable by notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery Date, in each of the following instances: (1) If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value of the Building or the Project is damaged or destroyed, regardless of whether or not the Premises are destroyed. (2) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed and the repair and restoration of such damage requires longer than one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty Discovery Date. (3) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed and the insurance proceeds therefor are not sufficient to cover the costs of repair and restoration. (4) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the Term. (d) In the event of repair and restoration as herein provided, the monthly installments of Base Rent shall be abated proportionately in the ratio which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair or restoration, provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to such abatement to the extent that such damage or destruction resulted from the acts or inaction of Tenant or Tenant's Agents. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to abatement of Base Rent, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for, and hereby releases Landlord and Landlord's Agents from responsibility for and waives its entire claim of recovery for any cost, loss or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the repair or restoration thereof, including, without limitation, any cost, loss or expense resulting from any loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair or restoration, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair or restoration. (e) If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall repair or restore only the initial tenant investments, if any, constructed by Landlord in the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, substantially to their condition existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage or destruction; and Tenant shall promptly repair and restore, at Tenant's expense. Tenant's Alterations which were not constructed by Landlord. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(2) and Section 1933(4) which permit termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased premises, and the provisions of any similar law now or hereinafter in effect, and the provisions of this Paragraph 22 shall govern exclusively in case of such destruction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease: A. If the Premises are substantially damaged or impaired by fire (25% or more) or other casualty as reasonably determined by Landlord, and the Premises cannot be restored within two hundred ten (210) days after the date of such damage, Tenant may terminate this Lease. B. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord as provided herein, Landlord shall restore the Premises and all Tenant Improvements installed by Landlord to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to the casualty. -10- 27 23. CONDEMNATION If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Building or the parking area for the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful governmental power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation, inverse condemnation, condemnation, or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking (each such event being referred to as a "Condemnation"), Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease as of the date title vests In the condemning party. If the Building after any Condemnation and any repairs by Landlord would be untenantable for the conduct of Tenant's business operations, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date title vests in the condemning party. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as provided herein, such election shall be made by written notice to the other party given within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of such Condemnation have been finally determined. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of all Condemnation awards, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its interest in such awards. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Building or the parking area is taken, Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease to the extent permitted above, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises, to the extent of any Condemnation award received by Landlord, to substantially their same condition as existed prior to such Condemnation, allowing for the reasonable effects of such Condemnation, and a proportionate abatement shall be made to the Base Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the portion of the floor area of the Building (adjusted for any increase thereto resulting from any reconstruction) of which, Tenant is deprived on account of such Condemnation and restoration. The provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, which allows either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate the Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises, and any other applicable law now or hereafter enacted, are hereby waived by Landlord and Tenant 24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING (a) Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law, (1) mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest herein, (2) assign or transfer this Lease or any interest herein, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant hereto, or allow any other person (the employees, agents and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. When Tenant requests Landlord's consent to such assignment or subletting, it shall notify Landlord in writing of the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and shall provide current financial statements for the proposed assignee or subtenant prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of the proposed sublet or assignment agreement, including all material terms and conditions thereof. Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days of receipt of the foregoing, to (1) cancel this Lease as of the commencement date stated in the proposed sublease or assignment, (2) acquire from Tenant the interest, or any portion thereof, in this Lease and/or the Premises that Tenant proposes to assign or sublease, on the same terms and conditions as stated in the proposed sublet or assignment agreement, (3) consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, or (4) refuse its consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, providing that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (b) Without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which Landlord may withhold its consent, Landlord may take into account the reputation and credit worthiness of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the character of the business proposed to be conducted in the Premises or portion thereof sought to be subleased, and the potential impact of the proposed assignment or sublease on the economic value of the Premises. In any event, Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease, if (l) the actual use proposed to be conducted in the Premises or portion thereof conflicts with the provisions of Paragraph 8(a), unless such actual use proposed is consented to by Landlord, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, or 8(b) above or with any other lease which restricts the use to which may space in the Building may be put, or (2) the proposed assignment or sublease requires alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or portions thereof, which Landlord does not consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) If Landlord approves an assignment or subletting as herein provided, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, seventy-five percent (75%) of the difference, if any, between (1) the Base 25. TENANT'S DEFAULT The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an event of default on the part of Tenant ("Default"): -11- 28 (a) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; (b) Failure to pay any installment of Rent or any other monies due and payable hereunder, said failure continuing for a period of three (3) days after written notice that said Rent or other monies have not been paid; however, said notice shall constitute the Three-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit required under California Law; (c) A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors: (d) The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant, the filing of a voluntary petition for an arrangement, the filing of a petition, voluntary or involuntary, for reorganization, or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors, said involuntary petition remaining undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days; (e) Receivership, attachment, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets on the Premises, such attachment or other seizure remaining undisguised or undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days after the levy thereof; (f) Failure of Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord any estoppel certificate, subordination agreement, or lease amendment within the time periods and in the manner required by Paragraph 30 or 31 or 42; (g) An assignment or sublease, or attempted assignment or sublease, of this Lease or the Premises by Tenant contrary to the provision of Paragraph 24, unless such assignment or sublease is expressly conditioned upon Tenant having received Landlord's consent thereto; (h) Failure of Tenant to restore the Security Deposit to the amount and within the time period provided in Paragraph 6 above; (i) Failure in the performance of any of Tenant's covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder (except those failures specified as events of Default in other Paragraphs of this Paragraph 25, which shall be governed by such other Paragraphs), which failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant provided that, if Tenant has exercised reasonable diligence to cure such failure and such failure cannot be cured within such ten (10) day period despite reasonable diligence, Tenant shall not be in default under this subparagraph unless Tenant fails thereafter diligently and continuously to prosecute the cure to completion; and (j) Chronic delinquency by Tenant in the payment of Rent, or any other periodic payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. "Chronic delinquency" shall mean failure by Tenant to pay Rent, or any other payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease for any three (3) months (consecutive or nonconsecutive) during any twelve (12) month period. In the event of a Chronic Delinquency, in addition to Landlord's other remedies for Default provided in this Lease, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall have the right to require that Rent be paid by Tenant quarterly, in advance. Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 25(b), (i) or (j) above shall satisfy the requirements for notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding. 26. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES (a) TERMINATION. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant: -12- 29 (1) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable which have been earned at the time of such termination; plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering or rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or tenants; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus (5) such reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default, and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedy; and plus (6) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. As used in subparagraph (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" is 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 (1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Default of Tenant hereunder. (b) CONTINUATION OF LEASE. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). (c) RE-ENTRY. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, in compliance with applicable law, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. (d) RELETTING. In the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter as provided in Paragraph 26(c) or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Paragraph 26(a), Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following order: (1) reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedies; (2) to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (3) to the payment of any costs -13- 30 of such reletting; (4) to the payment of the costs of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; (5) to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and (6) the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder, be less than the Rent payable during the month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. (e) TERMINATION. No re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 26 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such Default. (f) CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The remedies herein provided are not exclusive and Landlord shall have any and all other remedies provided herein or by law or in equity. (g) NO SURRENDER. No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting of the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, and such acceptance by Landlord of surrender by Tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a written acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by Landlord. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant, voluntarily or otherwise, shall not work a merger unless Landlord elects in writing that such merger take place, but shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of any and all existing subleases, or Landlord may, at its option, elect in writing to treat such surrender as a merger terminating Tenant's estate under this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may terminate any or all such subleases by notifying the sublessee of its election so to do within five (5) days after such surrender. 27. ATTORNEY'S FEES In the event any legal action or proceeding, including arbitration and declaratory relief, is commenced for the purpose of enforcing any rights or remedies pursuant to this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorneys' fees, as well as costs of suit, in said action or proceeding, whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. 28. TAXES Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes levied against personal property and trade or business fixtures of Tenant. If any alteration, addition or improvement installed by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 11, or any personal property, trade fixture or other property of Tenant, is assessed and taxed with the Property, Tenant shall pay such taxes to Landlord within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant of a statement therefor. 29.
