Actual Operating Expenses for both the Base\nYear and each subsequent year will be adjusted to equal Landlord's reasonable\nestimate of Operating Expenses had all of the total rentable area of the office\nportions of the Building been occupied. The parties agree that statements in\nthis Lease to the effect that Landlord is to perform certain of its obligations\nhereunder at its own or sole cost and expense shall not be interpreted as\nexcluding any cost from Operating Expenses, Property Taxes or Impositions if\nsuch cost is an Operating Expense, Property Tax or Imposition pursuant to the\nterms of this Lease.\n\n      Premises means the portion of the Building located on the floor or floors\nspecified in the Basic Lease Information which is outlined in red on the floor\nplan or plans attached to this Lease as Exhibit A.\n\n      Property is defined in Recital A of this Lease.\n\n      Property Taxes means all real property taxes (and any tax levied wholly or\npartly in lieu of real property taxes), assessments (whether general or\nspecial), excises, transit charges, housing fund assessments, charges, levies or\nfees, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen,  levied, charged,\nconfirmed or imposed against the Property, and all real estate tax consultant\nexpenses and attorneys' fees incurred for the purpose of maintaining an\nequitable assessed valuation of the Property.

Tenant's Percentage Share for Property Taxes has been obtained by\ndividing the net rentable area of the Premises by the total net rentable area of\nthe Building used for office purposes, and multiplying that quotient by one\nhundred (100). In the event the rentable area of the Premises is increased or\ndecreased by the addition to or deletion from the Premises of any office space,\nTenant's Percentage Share shall be appropriately adjusted.

Term; Condition of Premises.  The Term of this Lease shall\ncommence on the Commencement Date and, unless sooner terminated as later\nprovided, shall end on the Termination Date.  Landlord shall deliver the\nPremises to Tenant on the Commencement Date in the condition set forth in the\nWork Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C.  Landlord and Tenant shall\nexecute the Commencement Date Memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit D, once the\nCommencement Date under the terms of this Lease has been established.  If\nLandlord, for any reason, cannot deliver the Premises to Tenant on the\nAnticipated Target Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable,\nnor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from\nnondelivery, but in that event rental shall be waived for the period between the\nCommencement Date and the time when Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant in\nthe condition required hereunder.  If the Commencement Date for the Premises has\nnot occurred or been deemed to have occurred by November 15, 2000, then at any\ntime thereafter, but before such Commencement Date shall have occurred or been\ndeemed to have occurred, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to\nLandlord and both parties shall be released from all obligations under this\nLease, provided Landlord shall promptly return all rent and other sums paid by\nTenant.  No delay in delivery of the Premises shall extend the Term of this\nLease.  If Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises prior to the Anticipated\nTarget Commencement Date, then the Commencement Date of the Lease shall be the\ndate of such early occupancy by Tenant; provided, however, that the Termination\nDate shall not be affected by such early occupancy.\n\n      Section 4.  Rental.\n\n                                       38\n\n \n      (a)  Tenant shall pay to Landlord throughout the Term as rental for the\nPremises the Base Rent, provided that the rental payable during each year\nsubsequent to the Base Year shall be the Base Rent, increased by Tenant's\nPercentage Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses\npaid or incurred by Landlord in that year over the Base Operating Expenses, and\nalso increased by Tenant's Percentage Share of the total dollar increase, if\nany, in Property Taxes paid by Landlord in that year over the Base Property\nTaxes.  The increased rental due pursuant to this Section 4(a) is the Escalation\nRent.  Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a\nsum equal to Tenant's first month's Base Rent, which amount shall be applied to\nthe payment of the Base Rent due for the first month of the Term of this Lease.\n\n      (b)  Rental shall be paid to Landlord, in advance, on or before the first\nday of the Term of this Lease and on or before the first day of each successive\ncalendar month during the Term of this Lease.  In the event the Term of this\nLease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on\na day other than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly rental for the\nfirst and last fractional months of the Term of this Lease shall be\nappropriately prorated.\n\n      (c)  All sums of money due to Landlord under this Lease, not specifically\ncharacterized as rental, shall constitute additional rent and shall be due\nwithin thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a billing.  If any sum is not\npaid when due, it shall be collectible as additional rent with the next\ninstallment of rental falling due.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be\ndeemed to suspend or delay the payment of any sum of money at the time it\nbecomes due and payable under this Lease, or to limit any other remedy of\nLandlord.\n\n      (d)  Tenant acknowledges that late payment of rent and other sums due\nunder this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this\nLease, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain.  These costs\ninclude, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late\ncharges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any trust deed covering\nthe Premises.  Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sums due\nfrom Tenant are not received when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late\ncharge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount.  The parties agree that\nthe late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord\nwill incur because of late payment.  Acceptance of the late charge by Landlord\nshall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default for the overdue amount, nor\nprevent Landlord from exercising the other rights and remedies granted under\nthis Lease.  For the first time in each twelve (12) consecutive month period\nthat Tenant shall fail to make any payment of rental or any additional rent\nhereunder, no interest or late charge shall be due and payable until Landlord\nshall have notified the Tenant thereof in writing and two (2) business days\nafter such notice shall have passed without such payment being made, in which\ncase interest shall be deemed to have accrued from the day when such payment was\noriginally due and such late charge shall be due and payable. No further notice\nneed be given in order that interest and late charges shall accrue on any\nfurther non-payment during such twelve (12) consecutive month period.\n\n                                       39\n\n \n                  [Initials of Landlord]                [Initials of Tenant]\n         --------                            ----------\n\n      (e)  In addition to the imposition of any late charge, any amount due to\nLandlord, if not paid within five (5) days following the due date, will bear\ninterest from the due date until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per year\nor, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest rate legally\npermitted.  However, interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by\nTenant nor on any amounts on which late charges are paid by Tenant to the extent\nthis interest would cause the total interest to be in excess of that legally\npermitted.  Payment of interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant.\n\n      (f)  All payments due shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or\noffset, in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord's address\nfor notices under this Lease or to another person or at another place as\nLandlord may designate by notice to Tenant.\n\n      (g)  No security or guaranty which may now or hereafter be furnished to\nLandlord for the payment of rent due hereunder or for the performance by Tenant\nof the other terms of this Lease shall in any way be a bar or defense to any of\nLandlord's remedies set forth in Sections 20, 21 or 22 hereof.\n\n      Section 5.  Escalation Rent.  Escalation Rent shall be paid monthly on an\nestimated basis, with subsequent annual reconciliation, in accordance with the\nfollowing procedures:\n\n      (a)  No later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Base Year and\nno later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of each subsequent year, or as\nsoon after that time as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of\nLandlord's estimate of any Escalation Rent due under Section 4(a) for the\nensuing year.  On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing year,\nTenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1\/12th) of the estimated Escalation\nRent.  If Landlord fails to give notice as required in this Section, Tenant\nshall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year's estimate until the month\nafter that notice is given.  If at any time it appears to Landlord that the\nEscalation Rent for the current year will vary from the estimate by more than\nfive percent (5%), Landlord shall, by notice to Tenant, revise the estimate for\nthat year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for that year shall be based on the\nrevised estimate.\n\n      (b)  Within ninety (90) days after the close of each year following the\nBase Year, or as soon after the ninety (90) day period as practicable, Landlord\nshall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Escalation Rent for that year\nshowing Operating Expenses and Property Taxes on the basis of which the actual\nEscalation Rent was determined.  At Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide\nTenant reasonable supporting detail underlying the calculations of Operating\nExpenses and Property Taxes.  If Landlord's statement discloses that Tenant owes\nan amount that is less than the estimated payments for that year previously made\nby Tenant, Landlord shall credit the excess first against any sums then owed by\nTenant, and then against the next payments of rental due.  If Landlord's\nstatement discloses that Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated\npayments for that year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the\ndeficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.\n\n                                       40\n\n \n      (c)  The amount of Escalation Rent for any fractional year in the Term\nshall be appropriately prorated.  The proration of Escalation Rent for the\napplicable year in which termination occurs shall be calculated on the basis of\na fraction of the Operating Expenses for that entire year and the proration of\nProperty Taxes for the year in which termination occurs shall be calculated on\nthe basis of a fraction of the Property Taxes for that entire year, but shall\nexclude any Property Taxes attributable to any increase in the assessed\nvaluation of the Building occurring after termination.  The termination of this\nLease shall not affect the obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 5(b)\nto be performed after the termination.\n\n      (d)  Tenant, at its cost, shall have the right, once per calendar year,\nthrough an auditor who is an employee of the Salon.Com, or a reputable public\naccounting firm, to audit the most recent past annual statement of Escalation\nRent.  No auditor conducting such audit shall be compensated by payment of a\npercentage of any sums found to be overstated and payable to Tenant hereunder.\nLandlord will give the accounting firm access to Landlord's records supporting\nthe statement during Normal Business Hours.  In the event that the audit\ncorrectly reveals that Landlord has overstated the Operating Expenses or the\nProperty Taxes by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant\nfor the reasonable cost of the audit, but in no event in excess of Five Thousand\nDollars ($5,000), in addition to making appropriate adjustments in the\nEscalation Rent, with interest at the legal rate from the end of the calendar\nyear so audited until paid.  Any overpayments by Tenant shall be paid to Tenant\nby Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of determination and notice to\nLandlord of same.\n\n      Section 6.  Use.  The Premises shall be used for general office purposes\nand incidental uses thereto and no other.  Tenant shall not do or permit to be\ndone on the Premises, nor bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept in the\nPremises, anything (a) which is prohibited by or in conflict with any law,\nordinance, or governmental rule or, (b) which is prohibited by the standard form\nof fire insurance policy or, (c) which will increase the existing rate of or\naffect fire or other insurance on the Building or the Complex or its contents or\ncause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or the\nComplex or any part of it or its contents.  Tenant shall not use or store in the\nPremises any hazardous or toxic substances, with the sole exception of\nreasonably necessary substances that are kept in reasonably necessary quantities\nfor normal office operations, provided that their use and storage are in\naccordance with applicable laws.  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be\ndone on the Premises that will obstruct or interfere with the rights of other\ntenants of the Building or the Complex, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow\nthe Premises to be used for any unlawful purposes, nor shall Tenant cause,\nmaintain, or permit any nuisance or waste on or about the Premises.

For purposes of this Section 16, the following events shall be\ndeemed an assignment or sublease, as appropriate:  (i) the issuance of equity\ninterests (whether stock, partnership interests or otherwise) in Tenant or any\nsubtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, to any person or\ngroup of related persons, in a single transaction or a series of related or\nunrelated transactions, such that, following such issuance, such person or group\nshall have Control (as defined below) of Tenant; or (ii) a transfer of Control\nof Tenant or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them,\nin a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions\n(including without limitation, by consolidation, merger, acquisition or\nreorganization), except that the transfer of outstanding capital stock or other\nlisted equity interests by persons or parties other than \"insiders\" within the\nmeaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the \"over-\nthe-counter\" market or any recognized national or international securities\nexchange, shall not be included in determining whether Control has been\ntransferred.  \"Control\" shall mean direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent\n(50%) or more of all of the voting stock of such corporation or fifty percent\n(50%) or more of all the legal and equitable interest in any other business\nentity.  However, Tenant may, without resulting in a default under this Lease\nand without notice to Landlord, license the use of the Premises by (i) any\nentity of which Tenant, any of Tenant's subsidiaries, or Tenant's parent is a\nlimited partner, general partner, joint venturer, or shareholder; (ii) any other\nlimited partner, general partner, joint venturer or shareholder in that entity;\n(iii) any consultant, contractor, accountant, or counsel of Tenant; or (iv) any\nof the directors, officers, employees, contractors, accountants, or counsel of\nany of the foregoing.  The license or other permitted use does not in any way\ncreate in the licensee or any other party rights to possess or remain in the\nPremises beyond the termination of the Lease.\n\n      (b)  Without limiting other instances in which Landlord may reasonably\nwithhold consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant \n\n                                       50\n\n \nacknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent in the\nfollowing instances:\n\n          (i) if at the time consent is requested or at any time prior to the\ngranting of consent, an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured\nunder this Lease or if Tenant is in monetary default under this Lease or would\nbe in monetary default under this Lease but for the pendency of any grace or\ncure period under Section 19, if any;\n\n             (ii) if the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental\nagency;\n\n          (iii)     if, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, use of the Premises\nby the proposed assignee or sublessee would not be comparable to the office use\nby other tenants in the Building, would entail alterations that would materially\nlessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Premises (unless Tenant\nprovides adequate security to ensure that the Premises will be restored to their\nprior condition pursuant to Section 9(a)), would result in more than a\nreasonable number of occupants per floor, or would require substantially\nincreased services by Landlord;\n\n          (iv) if Landlord reasonably determines that circumstances warrant a\nconsideration of the financial worth of a proposed assignee or sublessee, and\nthe financial worth, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, does not meet the credit\nstandards applied by Landlord for other tenants under leases with comparable\nterms; and\n\n          (v) if, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the character, reputation,\nor business of the proposed assignee or sublessee is not consistent with the\nquality of the other tenancies in the Building.\n\n      (c)  If at any time during the Term, Tenant desires to sublet all or any\npart of the Premises or assign the Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the\nterms of the proposed subletting and the space proposed to be sublet or the\nproposed assignment.  Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by notice\ngiven to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant's notice is given, or\nwithin five (5) days after Tenant's notice is given if Tenant submits terms that\nhave already been negotiated with a specific proposed sublessee or assignee,\neither (i) to sublet from Tenant this space at the rental and other terms in\nTenant's notice, or, (ii) in the event the notice proposes a subletting for the\nentire Premises for a sublet term ending within the last year of the Term, or an\nassignment of the Lease, to terminate this Lease.  If Landlord does not exercise\nthis option, Tenant shall be free to sublet the space or assign the Lease to any\nthird party or to the specific proposed sublessee or assignee, at the same\nrental and on substantially the same terms in the notice given to Landlord,\nsubject to obtaining Landlord's prior consent as provided previously.\n\n      (d)  No sublessee shall have a right to further sublet without Landlord's\nprior consent, which Tenant acknowledges may be withheld in Landlord's absolute\ndiscretion, and any assignment by a sublessee of the sublease shall be subject\nto Landlord's prior consent in the same manner as if Tenant were entering into a\nnew sublease.  No sublease, once consented to by Landlord, shall be modified or\nterminated by Tenant without Landlord's prior consent, which shall not be\nunreasonably withheld.\n\n                                       51\n\n \n      (e)  In the case of an assignment, one-half (1\/2) of any sums or other\neconomic consideration received by Tenant as a result of the assignment\n(excluding any consideration reasonably attributed to assets other than this\nLease) shall be paid to Landlord after first deducting the unamortized cost of\nleasehold improvements paid for by Tenant, and the cost of any real estate\ncommissions, reasonable attorney fees, or other third party professional\nservices paid by Tenant in connection with the assignment.\n\n      (f)  In the case of a subletting, one-half (1\/2) of any sums or economic\nconsideration received by Tenant as a result of the subletting shall be paid to\nLandlord after first deducting (i) the rental due under this Lease, prorated to\nreflect only rental allocable to the sublet portion of the Premises, (ii) the\ncost of leasehold improvements made to the sublet portion of the Premises at\nTenant's cost, amortized over the term of this Lease, except for leasehold\nimprovements made for the specific benefit of the sublessee, which shall be\namortized over the term of the sublease, and (iii) the cost of any real estate\ncommissions, reasonable attorney fees, or other third party professional\nservices paid by Tenant in connection with the subletting.\n\n      (g)  Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting or assignment shall\nrelease or alter Tenant's obligation or primary liability to pay the rental and\nperform all other obligations under this Lease.  The acceptance of rental by\nLandlord from any other person shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any\nprovision of this Lease.  Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be\ndeemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.  In the event of\ndefault by any assignee or successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the\nterms of this Lease, after notice of default to Tenant pursuant to Section 19\nand the expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord may proceed directly\nagainst Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against the assignee\nor successor.  Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of\nthis Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of\nTenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without\nobtaining consent.  This action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this\nLease provided, however, that Tenant shall not be liable for any increase in\nTenant's obligations under this Lease because of any amendment or modification\nto this Lease, unless Tenant has consented to it in writing.  Further, no\npermitted subletting by Tenant shall be effective until there has been delivered\nto Landlord a counterpart of the sublease in which the subtenant agrees to be\nand remain jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of rent\npertaining to the sublet space and for the performance of all of the terms and\nprovisions of this Lease to the extent applicable to the sublet premises;\nprovided, however, that the subtenant shall be liable to Landlord for rent only\nin the amount set forth in the sublease.  No permitted assignment shall be\neffective unless and until there has been delivered to Landlord a counterpart of\nthe assignment in which the assignee assumes all of Tenant's obligations under\nthis Lease arising on or after the date of the assignment.  The failure or\nrefusal of a subtenant or assignee to execute any such instrument shall not\nrelease or discharge the subtenant or assignee from its liability as set forth\nabove.\n\n      (h)  If Tenant assigns this Lease, sublets the Premises, or requests the\nconsent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting, hypothecation, or other\naction requiring Landlord's consent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay\nLandlord's reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the action,\n\n                                       52\n\n \nwhich, absent unusual circumstances or requirements surrounding such action,\nshall not, during the first year of the Term, exceed One Thousand Dollars\n($1,000), and during each successive year of the Term thereafter, shall not\nexceed $1,000, increased on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, in the\nsame proportion as the increase in the Consumer Price Index, All Items, for the\nSan Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California, Area, for such immediately preceding\nyear.\n\n      (i)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 16 to the\ncontrary, Salon.Com, as Tenant, may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or\nany portion thereof without Landlord's consent (but with written notice thereof)\nand without extending any option to Landlord, to any corporation or other legal\nentity or person which controls, is controlled by or is under common control\nwith Tenant or to any corporation or other legal entity or person resulting from\nthe merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any legal person or entity which\nacquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant as a going concern of the\nbusiness that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee or\nsubtenant assumes in writing in full the obligations of Tenant under this Lease\nin the case of an assignee or to the extent of the sublet Premises and for the\nsublease term in the case of a subtenant.\n\n      Section 17.  Rules.  Tenant shall comply with the rules attached to and\nincorporated in this Lease as Exhibit B, and after notice, with all reasonable\nmodifications and additions to these rules, from time to time promulgated in\nwriting by Landlord.  Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the\nnonperformance of any of these rules by any other tenant or occupant of the\nBuilding or the Complex, but Landlord shall take reasonable steps to enforce any\nrules, the nonperformance of which by other tenants materially and adversely\naffects Tenant in the use of the Premises.  However, if any rule conflicts with\nany term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, this Lease shall prevail.  In\naddition, no rule, or any subsequent amendment to it adopted by Landlord shall\nalter, reduce, or adversely affect any of Tenant's rights or enlarge Tenant's\nobligations under this Lease.\n\n      Section 18.  Entry by Landlord.  Landlord may enter the Premises at\nreasonable hours and, except in the event of an emergency, on reasonable prior\nnotice, to (a) inspect the Premises; (b) exhibit the Premises to prospective\npurchasers, lenders, or tenants; (c) determine whether Tenant is complying with\nall obligations under this Lease; (d) supply janitorial service and any other\nservices to be provided by Landlord under this Lease; (e) post notices of\nnonresponsibility; and (f) make repairs or perform maintenance required of\nLandlord by this Lease, make repairs to any adjoining space or utility services,\nor make repairs, alterations, or improvements to any other portion of the\nBuilding or the Complex.  However, all this work shall be done as promptly as\nreasonably possible and cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably\npossible.  Subject to Landlord's undertakings in the previous sentence, Tenant\nwaives any damage claims for inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's\nbusiness or loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises caused by\nLandlord's entry.  At all times Landlord shall have a key with which to unlock\nthe doors on the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes, and similar areas\ndesignated as secure areas in writing by Tenant in advance.  In an emergency,\nLandlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord deems proper to\nopen Tenant's doors and enter the Premises.  Entry to the Premises by Landlord\nin an emergency \n\n                                       53\n\n \nshall not be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry, a detainer, or an actual\nor constructive eviction of Tenant.\n\n      Section 19.  Events of Default.  The following events shall constitute\nevents of default under this Lease (each, an \"Event of Default\"):\n\n      (a)  a default by Tenant in the payment when due of any rent or other sum\npayable under this Lease, provided, however, that Landlord agrees to provide\nTenant no more than once during any consecutive twelve (12) month period of the\nTerm a written courtesy notice of Tenant's failure to pay rent when due\nhereunder, by which Tenant shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice\nto pay such overdue rent before delivery of any statutorily required notice is\ngiven by Landlord seeking forfeiture of the Lease;\n\n      (b)  a default by Tenant in the performance of any of the terms,\ncovenants, agreements, or conditions in this Lease, other than a default by\nTenant in the payment when due of any rent or other sum payable under this\nLease, and the continuation of the default beyond thirty (30) days after notice\nby Landlord or, if the default is curable and would require more than thirty\n(30) days to remedy, beyond the time reasonably necessary for cure;\n\n      (c)  the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant, a transfer by Tenant in fraud\nof creditors, an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or the\ncommencement of proceedings of any kind by or against Tenant under the Federal\nBankruptcy Act or under any other insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization act,\nunless Tenant is discharged from voluntary proceedings within ninety (90) days;\n\n      (d)  the appointment of a receiver for a substantial part of Tenant's\nassets;\n\n      (e)  the abandonment of the Premises; and\n\n      (f)  the levy upon this Lease or any estate of Tenant under this Lease by\nattachment or execution and the failure to have the attachment or execution\nvacated within thirty (30) days.\n\n      Section 20.  Termination upon Default.  On occurrence of any Event of\nDefault by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other rights and remedies\ngiven here or by law, terminate this Lease and exercise remedies relating to it\nwithout further notice or demand in accordance with the following provisions:\n\n      (a)  So long as the Event of Default remains uncured, Landlord shall have\nthe right to give notice of termination to Tenant, and on the date specified in\nthis notice, this Lease shall terminate.\n\n      (b)  If this Lease is terminated, Landlord may, by judicial process,\nreenter the Premises, remove all persons and property, and repossess and enjoy\nthe Premises, all without prejudice to other remedies that Landlord may have\nbecause of Tenant's default or the termination.\n\n      (c)  If this Lease is terminated, Landlord shall have all of the rights\nand remedies of a landlord provided by Civil Code 1951.2, in addition to any\nother rights and remedies Landlord may have.  The damages which Landlord may\nrecover shall include, without limitation, (i) the worth at the time of \n\n                                       54\n\n \naward of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination;\n(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which\nwould have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the\namount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;\n(iii) the worth at the time of award computed by discounting the amount at the\ndiscount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award\nplus one percent (1%) of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of\nthe term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss that Tenant\nproves could be reasonably avoided; (iv) all reasonable legal expenses and other\nrelated costs incurred by Landlord following Tenant's default; (v) all\nreasonable costs incurred by Landlord in restoring the Premises to good order\nand condition to relet the Premises; and (vi) all reasonable costs, including\nwithout limitation, any brokerage commissions incurred by Landlord in reletting\nthe Premises.\n\n      Section 21.  Continuation after Default.  If Tenant breaches this Lease\nand abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as\nLandlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord may\nenforce all rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover\nthe rental as it becomes due under this Lease.  Acts of maintenance or\npreservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver\nupon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease\nshall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession.\n\n      Section 22.  Other Relief.  The remedies provided in this Lease are in\naddition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law, in equity, by\nstatute, or otherwise.\n\n      Section 23.  Right of Landlord to Cure Defaults.  Agreements and\nprovisions to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be at Tenant's sole\ncost and without abatement of rental, except as specifically provided in this\nLease.  If Tenant (a) fails to pay any sum of money, other than rental, required\nunder this Lease, or (b) fails to perform any other act under this Lease, and\nthis failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice of the failure by\nLandlord, or a longer period as may be allowed under this Lease, Landlord may,\nwithout waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make payment\nor perform other acts required by this Lease on Tenant's behalf.  All sums paid\nby Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be payable to Landlord on\ndemand and shall constitute additional rental under this Lease.\n\n      Section 24.  Attorney Fees.  If, as a result of a breach or default under\nthis Lease, Landlord or Tenant uses an attorney to secure compliance with Lease\nprovisions, to recover damages, to terminate this Lease, or to evict Tenant, as\napplicable, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party, on\ndemand, for all reasonable attorney fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing\nparty, and if such prevailing party shall recover judgment in connection\ntherewith, such fees and expenses shall be included in and as a part of such\njudgment.  As used herein, the term \"prevailing party\" shall mean that party who\nsubstantially prevails on its claim, regardless of whether such claim is\nprosecuted to judgment.  If any action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant\nto enforce the provisions of this Lease (including an action or proceeding\nbetween Landlord and the trustee or debtor in possession while Tenant is a\ndebtor in a proceeding under any bankruptcy \n\n                                       55\n\n \nlaw) proceeds to trial, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive their respective rights\nto a jury in such trial.\n\n      Section 25.  Eminent Domain.\n\n      (a)  If all or any part of the Premises shall be either taken or condemned\nfor any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or transferred by agreement in\nconnection with any public or quasi-public use or purpose with or without any\ncondemnation action or proceeding being instituted (either such event herein\ncalled a \"Taking\"), and if such Taking is permanent, the Term shall\nautomatically terminate with respect to the part of the Premises so Taken as of\nthe date when the possession of such part is required.  If all or any portion of\nthe Premises is subject to a temporary Taking, this Lease shall remain in full\nforce and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform all terms, conditions and\ncovenants of this Lease.  If a portion of the Premises or Building or Complex is\ntaken so as to require, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, a substantial\nalteration or reconstruction of the remaining portions, Landlord, at its sole\nelection, may terminate this Lease as of the date when possession of the part so\nTaken is required.  Without obligation to Tenant, Landlord may agree to transfer\nto any condemnor all or any portion of the Building sought by such condemnor,\nfree from this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder, without first requiring\nthat any action or proceeding be instituted or, if instituted, pursued to a\njudgment.\n\n      (b)  Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award made to it for any\nTaking, provided, however, that:  (a) Landlord shall have no interest in any\naward made to Tenant specifically for its relocation expenses, the Taking of\npersonal property or fixtures belonging to Tenant, or the interruption of or a\ndamage to Tenant's business, if any such award is made separately to Tenant and\nnot as a part of an award or damages recoverable by Landlord, and (b) Tenant\nshall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any\ntemporary Taking allocable to the period prior to the expiration of the Term.\n\n      (c)  Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of California Code of\nCivil Procedure Section 1265.130 to the extent that such provisions are\ninconsistent with this Lease.\n\n      Section 26.  Insurance.\n\n      (a)  Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain in full force during the term\na policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance insuring against\nall liability of Tenant and its representatives and visitors for personal or\nbodily injury or property damage arising out of or incurred in connection with\nTenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Complex.  Such\npolicy or policies shall further insure the indemnification obligations of\nTenant under this Lease.\n\n      (b)  Tenant shall at all times maintain in effect insurance with respect\nto its alterations, trade fixtures and other personal property at the Premises\nproviding coverage against fire, extended coverage perils and vandalism and\nmalicious mischief, to the extent of one hundred percent (100%) of the full\nreplacement cost thereof.  Tenant may carry such insurance under a blanket\npolicy, provided that such policy provides equivalent coverage to a separate\npolicy.  During the Term the proceeds from any such policies of insurance shall\nbe used for the repair or replacement of such property so \n\n                                       56\n\n \ninsured. Landlord shall have no interest in such insurance and shall sign all\ndocuments reasonably necessary or proper in connection with the settlement of\nany claim or loss by Tenant.\n\n      (c)  Each policy of insurance required under this Lease shall be in an\namount specified in the Basic Lease Information and in a form, and with an\ninsurer acceptable to Landlord, and shall require at least thirty (30) days'\nwritten notice to Landlord and any beneficiary of any deed of trust covering the\nBuilding or the Complex prior to any termination or alteration of the policy and\nshall provide that no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the\nobligations of the insurer with respect to any other insured.  Each policy of\nliability insurance shall name Landlord and its property manager and any\nbeneficiary of any deed of trust covering the Building or the Complex as\nadditional insureds and provide that it is primary to, and not contributing\nwith, any policy carried by Landlord covering the same loss.  Tenant shall\nprovide to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and upon request thereafter\nevidence that the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this\nSection is in full force and effect and the premiums therefor have been paid.\nNot more frequently than once every year, Tenant shall increase the amounts of\ninsurance as recommended by Landlord's lender or insurance broker if, in the\nopinion of either of them, the amount of insurance then required under this\nLease is not adequate.  Any limits set forth in the Lease on the amount or type\nof coverage required by Tenant's insurance shall not limit the liability of\nTenant under this Lease.\n\n      (d)  In the event that, as a result of changed circumstances from time to\ntime, comparable landlords and\/or tenants in the area in which the Building is\nlocated are typically carrying kinds or amounts of insurance that exceed the\nrequirements of this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following\nwritten demand by Landlord, obtain and thereafter maintain in effect such\nadditional insurance, which shall, to the extent reasonably applicable, conform\nto, and be governed by, the existing insurance provisions of this Lease.\n\n      Section 27.  Subordination.  This Lease shall be subordinate to any ground\nlease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or\nlater placed upon the Building or the Complex and to any advances made on the\nsecurity of it or Landlord's interest in it, and to all renewals, modifications,\nconsolidations, replacements, and extensions of it.  However, if any mortgagee,\ntrustee, or ground lessor elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its\nmortgage or deed of trust or prior to its ground lease, and gives notice of that\nto Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to the mortgage, deed of trust, or\nground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of the\nmortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the date of recording of it.  In\nthe event any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease is subordinate is\nforeclosed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the mortgagee or\nbeneficiary, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to\nthe grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure.  In the event of termination\nof any ground lease to which this Lease is subordinate, Tenant shall attorn to\nthe ground lessor.  Tenant agrees to execute any documents, in form and\nsubstance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, required to effectuate the\nsubordination, to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of\ntrust or ground lease, or to evidence the attornment.  In the event Tenant\nexecutes a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any\nexisting lienholder of the Property, the terms of such agreement shall supersede\nthe provisions of this \n\n                                       57\n\n \nSection and govern Tenant's rights with respect to a foreclosure event or\ntransfer resulting from any action taken by such existing lienholder. Tenant's\nagreement to subordinate its interest in this Lease to the rights of a future\nground lessor, mortgage holder or beneficiary under a deed of trust is\nconditioned upon such future ground lessor, mortgage holder or beneficiary under\na deed of trust entering into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment\nagreement in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as ExhibityE,\nwhich form Tenant agrees to execute in such situations. Landlord shall use all\ncommercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a subordination, nondisturbance\nand attornment agreement from the holder of the deed of trust encumbering the\nProperty as of the date of this Lease.\n\n      Section 28.  No Merger.  The surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a\nmutual cancellation of it, shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of\nLandlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or operate as\nan assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies.\n\n      Section 29.  Sale.  In the event that Landlord or any successor owner of\nthe Building or the Complex sells or conveys the Building or the Complex, all\nliabilities and obligations of Landlord or the successor owner under this Lease\naccruing after the sale or conveyance terminates, shall be binding on the new\nowner, and Tenant shall release Landlord from all liability under this Lease.\nTenant agrees to attorn to the new owner.\n\n      Section 30.  Estoppel Certificate.  At any time with at least fifteen (15)\ndays' prior notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver\nto Landlord a certificate certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in\nfull force or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full\nforce, as modified, together with the date and nature of each modification,\n(b) the amount of the Base Rent, most recent Escalation Rent, if any, and the\ndate to which the rent has been paid, (c) that no notice has been received by\nTenant of any default that has not been cured, except defaults specified in the\ncertificate, (d) that no default of Landlord is claimed by Tenant, except\ndefaults specified in the certificate, and (e) other matters as may be\nreasonably requested by Landlord.  Any certificate may be relied on by\nprospective purchasers, current or prospective mortgagees, or current or\nprospective beneficiaries under any deed of trust on the Building.\n\n      Section 31.  Light, Air, or View Rights.  Any diminution or shutting off\nof light, air, or view by any structure that may be erected on lands adjacent to\nthe Building or the Complex shall not affect this Lease or impose any liability\non Landlord.\n\n      Section 32.  Relocation.  [Intentionally Omitted]\n\n      Section 33.  Brokers.  Tenant and Landlord agree that, except as indicated\nin the Basic Lease Information,  no broker or finder has been involved in the\ntransaction described in this Lease and Landlord and Tenant agree that in the\nevent any broker, salesperson or other person makes any claim for any commission\nor finder's fee based upon the lease of the Premises to Tenant or any other\nitems or interests contemplated by this Lease, the party through whom said\nbroker, salesperson or other person makes its claim shall indemnify and hold\nharmless the other party from said claim and all liabilities, costs and expenses\nrelating thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be incurred by\nsuch other party in connection with \n\n                                       58\n\n \nsuch claim.

Tenant shall<br \/>\napprove or disapprove such estimates within two (2) business days after receipt<br \/>\nof Landlord&#8217;s notice.  If Tenant reasonably disapproves any such estimate,<br \/>\nTenant shall meet with Landlord or the Space Planner and eliminate or substitute<br \/>\nitems in order to reduce Tenant&#8217;s Cost.  Upon approval by Tenant of Tenant&#8217;s<br \/>\nCost for the Change Order, Landlord shall be authorized to proceed with the<br \/>\nimplementation of the Change Order.  If Tenant disapproves or fails to approve<br \/>\nTenant&#8217;s Cost estimates, and any additional time estimates, Landlord shall not<br \/>\nbe required to proceed with the Change Order, and all costs incurred by Landlord<br \/>\nin preparing such estimates shall be borne and promptly paid by Tenant as<br \/>\nTenant&#8217;s Cost.  In the event Landlord is instructed by Tenant to proceed with a<br \/>\nChange Order without a prior determination of the increased cost or the<br \/>\nincreased construction time resulting from such Change Order and without<br \/>\napproval of such increases by Tenant, the amounts thereof shall be as determined<br \/>\nby Landlord upon completion of the improvements pursuant to the Change Order,<br \/>\nsubject only to Landlord&#8217;s furnishing to Tenant appropriate back-up information<br \/>\nconcerning the increased costs and increased construction time.<\/p>\n<p> .    Substantial Completion.  The term substantial completion and its various<br \/>\ninflections as used herein shall mean that Landlord has caused all of the Work<br \/>\nto be completed substantially, except for soAcalled &#8220;punchlist items&#8221;; e.g.,<br \/>\nminor details of construction or decoration or mechanical adjustments which do<br \/>\nnot substantially interfere with Tenant&#8217;s occupancy or beneficial enjoyment of<br \/>\nthe Premises for their intended purposes or Tenant&#8217;s ability to complete any<br \/>\nimprovements to the Premises to be made by Tenant.  If there is any dispute as<br \/>\nto whether Landlord has substantially completed the Work, the issuance of a<br \/>\ntemporary certificate of occupancy for the Premises by the City and County of<br \/>\nSan Francisco, California, relating thereto, shall be conclusive that the Work<br \/>\nhas been substantially completed.<\/p>\n<p>       .     Notice of Substantial Completion.  If Landlord notifies Tenant in<br \/>\nwriting that the Work is substantially completed (which notice shall constitute<br \/>\nLandlord&#8217;s good faith certification that the Work is substantially <\/p>\n<p>                                       76<\/p>\n<p>complete), and Tenant fails to object thereto in writing within three (3)<br \/>\nbusinessydays thereafter specifying in reasonable detail the items of work<br \/>\nneeded to be performed in order to achieve substantial completion, Tenant shall<br \/>\nbe deemed conclusively to have agreed that the Work is substantially completed,<br \/>\nfor purposes of commencing the Commencement Date and Rent under the Lease.<\/p>\n<p>       .     Final Completion.  Substantial Completion shall not prejudice<br \/>\nTenant&#8217;s rights to require full completion of any remaining items of Work.<br \/>\nHowever, if Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Work is fully<br \/>\ncompleted, and Tenant fails to object thereto in writing within fifteen (15)<br \/>\ndays thereafter specifying in reasonable detail the items of work needed to be<br \/>\ncompleted and the nature of work needed to complete said items, Tenant shall be<br \/>\ndeemed conclusively to have accepted the Work as fully completed (or such<br \/>\nportions thereof as to which Tenant has not so objected).<\/p>\n<p>       .     Substitution of Materials.  Landlord reserves the right to<br \/>\nsubstitute comparable or better materials and items for those shown in the<br \/>\nPlans, so long as they do not materially and adversely affect the appearance and<br \/>\nfunctionality of the Premises.<\/p>\n<p> .    Work Performed by Tenant.  Landlord, at Landlord&#8217;s discretion, may permit<br \/>\nTenant and Tenant&#8217;s agents and contractors to enter the Premises prior to<br \/>\ncompletion of the Work in order to make the Premises ready for Tenant&#8217;s use and<br \/>\noccupancy.  If Landlord permits such entry prior to completion of the Work, then<br \/>\nsuch permission is conditioned upon Tenant and Tenant&#8217;s agents, contractors,<br \/>\nworkmen, mechanics, suppliers, and invitees working in harmony and not<br \/>\ninterfering with Landlord and Landlord&#8217;s contractors in doing the Work or with<br \/>\nother tenants and occupants of the Building.  If at any time such entry shall<br \/>\ncause or threaten to cause such disharmony or interference, Landlord shall have<br \/>\nthe right to withdraw such permission upon twenty-four (24) hours&#8217; oral or<br \/>\nwritten notice to Tenant.  Tenant agrees that any such entry into the Premises<br \/>\nshall be deemed to be under all of the terms, covenants, conditions, and<br \/>\nprovisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, all insurance<br \/>\nrequirements), except as to the covenant to pay Rent thereunder, and further<br \/>\nagrees that Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss, or<br \/>\ndamage which may occur to any items of work constructed by Tenant or to other<br \/>\nproperty of Tenant that may be placed in the Premises prior to completion of the<br \/>\nWork, the same being at Tenant&#8217;s sole risk.<\/p>\n<p> .    Liability.  The parties acknowledge that Landlord is not an architect or<br \/>\nengineer and that the Work will be designed and performed by independent<br \/>\narchitects, engineers, and contractors.  Accordingly, except as expressly stated<br \/>\nin  Section 2.2 of this Agreement, Landlord does not guarantee or warrant that<br \/>\nthe Plans will be free from errors or omissions, nor that the Work will be free<br \/>\nfrom defects; and Landlord shall have no liability therefor, provided that such<br \/>\narchitects, engineers, and contractors are licensed and reputable.<\/p>\n<p> .    Union Contractors.  Tenant or its contractors shall employ union labor for<br \/>\nany work to the Premises to be performed by Tenant in order to ensure, to the<br \/>\nextent possible, the progress of the Work and other work by Landlord in the<br \/>\nBuilding without interruption on account of strikes or work stoppages.<\/p>\n<p>                                       77<\/p>\n<p> .    Incorporation Into Lease; Default.  The parties agree that the provisions<br \/>\nof this Work Letter Agreement are hereby incorporated by this reference into the<br \/>\nLease fully as though set forth therein.  In the event of any express<br \/>\ninconsistencies between the Lease and this Work Letter Agreement, the latter<br \/>\nshall govern and control.  Any default by a party hereunder shall constitute a<br \/>\ndefault by that party under the Lease, and said party shall be subject to the<br \/>\nremedies and other provisions applicable thereto under the Lease.<\/p>\n<p>      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Work Letter as<br \/>\nof the date first set forth above.<\/p>\n<p>TENANT                                   LANDLORD<\/p>\n<p>SALON.COM, a Delaware corporation        PACIFIC RESOURCES PCX DEVELOPMENT<br \/>\n                                               INC., a California corporation<\/p>\n<p>By:                                      By:<\/p>\n<p>Name:                                    Name:  Kevin Wu<\/p>\n<p>Its:                                     Its:  Vice President and<br \/>\nAssistant Secretary<\/p>\n<p>By:<\/p>\n<p>Name:<\/p>\n<p>Its:<\/p>\n<p>                                       78<\/p>\n<p>6124629.6<\/p>\n<p>      Exhibit D<\/p>\n<p>      Commencement Date Memorandum<\/p>\n<p>LANDLORD:    PACIFIC RESOURCES PCX DEVELOPMENT INC., a California corporation<\/p>\n<p>TENANT:  SALON.COM, a Delaware corporation<\/p>\n<p>LEASE DATE:  July 9, 1999<\/p>\n<p>PREMISES:    Suites 1500 and 1600, 22 Fourth Street, San Francisco, California<\/p>\n<p>The Commencement Date of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant for the Premises<br \/>\nis hereby established as                     , 19    .<\/p>\n<p>The Termination Date of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant is hereby<br \/>\nestablished as                     , 20__.<\/p>\n<p>DATED:                              TENANT:<\/p>\n<p>      SALON.COM, a Delaware corporation<\/p>\n<p>      By:<br \/>\n      Name:<br \/>\n      Its:<\/p>\n<p>DATED:                              LANDLORD:<\/p>\n<p>      PACIFIC RESOURCES PCX DEVELOPMENT INC., a California corporation<\/p>\n<p>      By:<br \/>\n      Name:<br \/>\n      Its:<\/p>\n<p>                                       79<\/p>\n<p>6124629.6<br \/>\nExhibit E<br \/>\n[Form of Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement]<\/p>\n<p>                                       80<\/p>\n<p>SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT<\/p>\n<p>TO<\/p>\n<p>Section:<br \/>\nBlock:<br \/>\nLot:<br \/>\nCountry:<br \/>\nCity:<br \/>\nState:<\/p>\n<p>Premises:<\/p>\n<p>Dated:  as of                            <\/p>\n<p>Record and return by mail to:<\/p>\n<p>                                       81<\/p>\n<p>SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT<\/p>\n<p>AGREEMENT made as of this ___ day of .         , between<br \/>\n___________________________, a ______________, having an office at<br \/>\n________________________________(hereinafter called<br \/>\n&#8220;Beneficiary&#8221;),_______________________and a _________________________, having an<br \/>\noffice at ___________________________________ (hereinafter called &#8220;Tenant&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>WITNESSETH:<\/p>\n<p>WHEREAS, by a lease (the &#8220;Original Lease&#8221;) dated _____________ between<br \/>\n________________________ (hereinafter called &#8220;Landlord&#8221;), as landlord, and<br \/>\nTenant, as tenant, as amended by lease amendment[s] dated _____________,<br \/>\n, [_________   , ____] and [_________   , ____] (the Original Lease, as so<br \/>\namended, is hereinafter the &#8220;Lease&#8221;), a memoranda of which Lease was dated and<br \/>\nwas recorded in ________ Reel ________ Page __, [add recording data for<br \/>\nmemoranda of amendments, if applicable], Landlord leased to Tenant certain<br \/>\npremises known as _________________ (the &#8220;Premises&#8221;) on the property described<br \/>\nin Schedule &#8220;A&#8221; annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the &#8220;Property&#8221;); and<\/p>\n<p>WHEREAS, Landlord has heretofore made, executed and delivered to Beneficiary its<br \/>\nnote in the original principal amount of ____________________ Dollars<br \/>\n($______________), which note is secured by, among other things, a mortgage or<br \/>\ndeed of trust (which mortgage or deed of trust, and all amendments, renewals,<br \/>\nincreases, modifications, replacements, substitutions, extensions, spreaders and<br \/>\nconsolidations thereof and all re-advances thereunder and additions thereto, is<br \/>\nreferred to as the &#8220;Deed of Trust&#8221;) encumbering the Property; and<\/p>\n<p>WHEREAS, Beneficiary and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding and<br \/>\nagreement with respect to the Lease and the Deed of Trust.<\/p>\n<p>NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein<br \/>\ncontained, Beneficiary and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1.  The Lease, and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions<br \/>\nthereof (including, without limitation, any right of first refusal, right of<br \/>\nfirst offer, option or any similar right with respect to the sale or purchase of<br \/>\nthe Property, or any portion thereof), is, shall be and shall at all times<br \/>\nremain and continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien,<br \/>\nterms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Deed of Trust and to all<br \/>\nadvances and re-advances made thereunder and all sums secured thereby. This<br \/>\nprovision shall be self-operative but Tenant shall execute and deliver any<br \/>\nadditional instruments which Beneficiary may reasonably require to effect such<br \/>\nsubordination.<\/p>\n<p>2.  So long as (i) Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given Tenant to<br \/>\ncure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the<br \/>\nperformance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or<br \/>\nconditions of the Lease on Tenant&#8217;s part to be performed or observed, (ii)<br \/>\nTenant is not in default under this Agreement and (iii) the Lease is in full<\/p>\n<p>                                       82<\/p>\n<p>force and effect:  (a) Tenant&#8217;s possession of the Premises and Tenant&#8217;s rights<br \/>\nand privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof which may<br \/>\nbe effected in accordance with any option therefor which is contained in the<br \/>\nLease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Beneficiary, and Tenant&#8217;s<br \/>\noccupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Beneficiary for any reason<br \/>\nwhatsoever during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or renewals<br \/>\nthereof and (b) Beneficiary will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any<br \/>\naction or proceeding to foreclose the Deed of Trust or to enforce any rights or<br \/>\nremedies of Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust which would cut-off, destroy,<br \/>\nterminate or extinguish the Lease or Tenant&#8217;s interest and estate under the<br \/>\nLease (except to the extent that Tenant&#8217;s right to receive or set-off any monies<br \/>\nor obligations owed or to be performed by any of Beneficiary&#8217;s predecessors-in-<br \/>\ninterest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Beneficiary or any of<br \/>\nBeneficiary&#8217;s successors-in-interest). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions<br \/>\nof this paragraph, if it would be procedurally disadvantageous for Beneficiary<br \/>\nnot to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect<br \/>\nto the Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may so name or join Tenant without in any way<br \/>\ndiminishing or otherwise affecting the rights and privileges granted to, or<br \/>\ninuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>3.    (A)  After notice is given by Beneficiary that the Deed of Trust is in<br \/>\ndefault and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Beneficiary,<br \/>\nTenant will attorn to Beneficiary and pay to Beneficiary, or pay in accordance<br \/>\nwith the directions of Beneficiary, all rentals and other monies due and to<br \/>\nbecome due to Landlord under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises;<br \/>\nand such payments shall be made regardless of any right of set-off, counterclaim<br \/>\nor other defense which Tenant may have against Landlord, whether as the tenant<br \/>\nunder the Lease or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>(B)  In addition, if Beneficiary (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to<br \/>\nthe rights of Landlord under the Lease through possession or foreclosure action,<br \/>\ndelivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases the Property or the<br \/>\nportion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the<br \/>\nDeed of Trust or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against<br \/>\nLandlord, then at the request of Beneficiary (or its nominee or designee) or<br \/>\nsuch purchaser (Beneficiary, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and<br \/>\ntheir respective successors and assigns, each being a &#8220;Successor-Landlord&#8221;),<br \/>\nTenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Landlord as Tenant&#8217;s landlord<br \/>\nunder the Lease.  Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without<br \/>\nthe execution of any further instrument; however, at the request of Successor-<br \/>\nLandlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that<br \/>\nSuccessor-Landlord may reasonably request to further evidence such attornment.<br \/>\nUpon such attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or<br \/>\nas if it were, a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant upon all<br \/>\nterms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Lease. If the Lease<br \/>\nshall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a result of or in<br \/>\nconnection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or a<br \/>\nforeclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu, upon request of<br \/>\nSuccessor-Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct lease<br \/>\nwith Successor-Landlord which direct lease shall be on substantially the same<br \/>\nterms and conditions as the Lease (subject, however, to the provisions of<br \/>\nclauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph 3(B)) and shall be effective as of the day the<br \/>\nLease shall have terminated as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the continuation of<br \/>\nthe Lease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the <\/p>\n<p>                                       83<\/p>\n<p>execution of a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid,<br \/>\nSuccessor-Landlord shall not:<\/p>\n<p>(i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under the Lease;<\/p>\n<p>(ii) be subject to any off-set, defense or counterclaim which shall have<br \/>\ntheretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord;<\/p>\n<p>(iii) be bound by any modification of the Lease or by any previous prepayment of<br \/>\nrent or additional rent for more than one (l) month which Tenant might have paid<br \/>\nto Landlord, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly<br \/>\napproved in writing by Beneficiary;<\/p>\n<p>(iv) be liable for any security deposited under the Lease unless such security<br \/>\nhas been physically delivered to Beneficiary; and<\/p>\n<p>(v) be liable or obligated to comply with or fulfill any of the obligations of<br \/>\nthe Landlord under the Lease or any agreement relating thereto with respect to<br \/>\nthe construction of, or payment for, improvements on or about the Premises (or<br \/>\nany portion thereof), leasehold improvements, tenant work letters and\/or similar<br \/>\nitems.<\/p>\n<p>4.  Tenant agrees that without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, it<br \/>\nshall not (i) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or<br \/>\nrenewals thereof, (ii) tender a surrender of the Lease or make a prepayment of<br \/>\nany rent or additional rent in excess of one (l) month or (iii) subordinate or<br \/>\npermit the subordination of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Deed of<br \/>\nTrust. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against<br \/>\nthe holder of the Deed of Trust.<\/p>\n<p>5.  Tenant shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any default by Landlord under<br \/>\nthe Lease and of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the<br \/>\nright to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction.<br \/>\nIn the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant<br \/>\nthe right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or<br \/>\nterminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of<br \/>\nany other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to<br \/>\ncancel or terminate the Lease, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until<br \/>\nTenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Beneficiary<br \/>\nand (ii) unless Beneficiary has failed, within sixty (60) days after Beneficiary<br \/>\nreceives such notice, to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such<br \/>\ndefault, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being<br \/>\nremedied by Beneficiary within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable<br \/>\nperiod for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following<br \/>\nthe giving of such notice and following the time when Beneficiary shall have<br \/>\nbecome entitled under the Deed of Trust to remedy the same (which reasonable<br \/>\nperiod shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be<br \/>\nentitled under the Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such<br \/>\nremedy), provided that Beneficiary shall with due diligence give Tenant written<br \/>\nnotice of its intention to and shall commence and continue to, remedy such<br \/>\ndefault, act or omission. If Beneficiary cannot reasonably remedy a default, act<br \/>\nor omission of Landlord until after Beneficiary obtains possession of the<br \/>\nPremises, Tenant may not terminate or cancel the Lease or claim a partial or<br \/>\ntotal eviction by reason of such default, act or omission until the expiration<br \/>\nof a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after Beneficiary secures<\/p>\n<p>                                       84<\/p>\n<p>possession of the Premises.  To the extent Beneficiary incurs any expenses or<br \/>\nother costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including,<br \/>\nwithout limitation, attorneys&#8217; fees and disbursements, Beneficiary shall be<br \/>\nsubrogated to Tenant&#8217;s rights against Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing,<br \/>\nBeneficiary shall have no obligation hereunder to remedy such default, act or<br \/>\nomission.<\/p>\n<p>6.  To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence<br \/>\nof any deed of trust and the identity of any beneficiary or any ground lessor,<br \/>\nthis Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Deed<br \/>\nof Trust and Beneficiary.<\/p>\n<p>7.  Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Deed of Trust,<br \/>\nBeneficiary shall be entitled, but not obligated, to exercise the claims,<br \/>\nrights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under the Lease and shall be<br \/>\nfurther entitled to the benefits of, and to receive and enforce performance of,<br \/>\nall of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under the Lease as though<br \/>\nBeneficiary were named therein as Landlord.<\/p>\n<p>8.  Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the<br \/>\nevent that a Successor-Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the<br \/>\nportion thereof containing the Premises, Successor-Landlord shall have no<br \/>\nobligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor-Landlord&#8217;s then interest,<br \/>\nif any, in the Property and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if<br \/>\nany, of Successor-Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any<br \/>\nobligations imposed upon Successor-Landlord hereunder or under the Lease, and<br \/>\nSuccessor-Landlord is hereby released or relieved of any other liability<br \/>\nhereunder and under the Lease. Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money<br \/>\njudgment which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor-Landlord,<br \/>\nTenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor-Landlord<br \/>\nin the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such<br \/>\njudgment out of any other assets of Successor-Landlord.<\/p>\n<p>9.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Beneficiary shall not, by<br \/>\nvirtue of this Agreement, the Deed of Trust or any other instrument to which<br \/>\nBeneficiary may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation<br \/>\nto Tenant under the Lease or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>10.   (a) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement satisfies and<br \/>\ncomplies in all respects with the provisions of Section 27 of the Lease and that<br \/>\nthis Agreement supersedes (but only to the extent inconsistent with) the<br \/>\nprovisions of such Article and any other provision of the Lease relating to the<br \/>\npriority or subordination of the Lease and the interests or estates created<br \/>\nthereby to the Deed of Trust.<\/p>\n<p>(b) Tenant agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment<br \/>\nagreement with any lender which shall succeed Beneficiary as lender with respect<br \/>\nto the Property, or any portion thereof, provided such agreement is<br \/>\nsubstantially similar to this Agreement. Tenant does herewith irrevocably<br \/>\nappoint and constitute Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in<br \/>\nits name, place and stead to execute such subordination, non-disturbance and<br \/>\nattornment agreement, without any obligation on the part of Beneficiary to do<br \/>\nso.  This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as<br \/>\nthe indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust remains unpaid. Beneficiary agrees<br \/>\nnot to exercise its rights under the <\/p>\n<p>                                       85<\/p>\n<p>preceding two (2) sentences if Tenant promptly enters into the subordination,<br \/>\nnon-disturbance and attornment agreement as required pursuant to the first<br \/>\nsentence of this subparagraph (b).<\/p>\n<p>11.   (a) Any notice required or permitted to be given by Tenant to Landlord<br \/>\nshall be simultaneously given also to Beneficiary, and any right of Tenant<br \/>\ndependent upon notice shall take effect only after notice is so given.<br \/>\nPerformance by Beneficiary shall satisfy any conditions of the Lease requiring<br \/>\nperformance by Landlord, and Beneficiary shall have a reasonable time to<br \/>\ncomplete such performance as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof.<\/p>\n<p>(b) All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to<br \/>\nTenant or to Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be<br \/>\nin writing and shall be deemed given only if mailed by United States registered<br \/>\nmail, postage prepaid, or if sent by facsimile transmission (with machine<br \/>\nanswerback) addressed as follows: to Tenant, at the address first set forth<br \/>\nabove, Attention: __________, facsimile number: ______________; to Beneficiary,<br \/>\nat the address first set forth above, Attention: , facsimile number: with a copy<br \/>\nto______________________, __________________, ________, ________________<br \/>\nAttention:________________, facsimile number: (____) _____________; or to such<br \/>\nother address or number as such party may hereafter designate by notice<br \/>\ndelivered in accordance herewith. Except as otherwise provided in this<br \/>\nAgreement, all such notices shall be deemed given three (3) business days after<br \/>\ndelivery to the United States Post office registry clerk if given by registered<br \/>\nmail, or on the next business day after facsimile transmission<\/p>\n<p>12.  Tenant will not pay an installment of rent or additional rent or any part<br \/>\nthereof more than one (1) month prior to the due date of such installment.<\/p>\n<p>13.

Extension Option.<\/p>\n<p>          (a) Landlord grants to Tenant one (1) option to renew the Lease for a<br \/>\nperiod of five (5) years after the Termination Date (the &#8220;Extension Period&#8221;).<br \/>\nTenant&#8217;s privilege to exercise this option is expressly conditioned upon Tenant<br \/>\nnot having previously defaulted on the terms of the Lease, not being in default<br \/>\nat the time the option is exercised and not being in default between the time<br \/>\nthe option is exercised and the start of the new lease term.<\/p>\n<p>          (b) Provided Tenant is not in default, Tenant shall have the right to<br \/>\nextend the Term upon tendering written notice (the &#8220;Extension Notice&#8221;) to<br \/>\nLandlord no later than nine (9) months and no earlier than twelve (12) months<br \/>\nprior to the expiration of the Term.  All terms and conditions of this Lease<br \/>\nshall continue during the Extension Period, provided that during the Extension<br \/>\nPeriod, the Base Rent shall be the greater of the Fair Market Rent as of the<br \/>\ndate six (6) months preceding the Termination Date (the &#8220;Rent Determination<br \/>\nDate&#8221;) or the Base Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease for the month<br \/>\nimmediately prior to the Rent Determination Date.<\/p>\n<p>          (c) As used in this Lease, Fair Market Rent shall be deemed to mean<br \/>\nthe base amount of rental that would typically be paid by a tenant under a<br \/>\nbaseAyear lease for premises of a similar type, design, and quality in the same<br \/>\nor similar quality geographic area in which the Premises are situated under<br \/>\nmarket leasing conditions existing at that time and taking into account the<br \/>\npresence, if any, of other escalation provisions provided in this Lease.<\/p>\n<p>          (d) If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Fair Market Rent within<br \/>\nfifteen (15) days after the Rent Determination Date, the Base Rent payable<br \/>\nduring the Extension Period shall be conclusively determined as follows:<\/p>\n<p>          (i) Within ten (10) days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day<br \/>\nperiod, each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall<br \/>\nappoint an unaffiliated real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years&#8217;<br \/>\nfull-time commercial appraisal experience in the downtown San Francisco area, to<br \/>\nappraise and determine the then Fair Market Rent as described in this Section.<\/p>\n<p>          (ii) If one party does not appoint an appraiser within the time period<br \/>\nin Section A1(d)(i) above, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be<br \/>\nthe sole appraiser and shall determine the Fair Market Rent.<\/p>\n<p>                                       90<\/p>\n<p>          (iii)            If neither party appoints an appraiser within the<br \/>\ntime period set forth in Section A1(d)(i), the Base Rent during the Extension<br \/>\nPeriod shall be the Base Rent payable in the last full month immediately<br \/>\npreceding the Termination Date.<\/p>\n<p>          (iv) If the two (2) appraisers are so appointed by the parties, they<br \/>\nshall meet promptly and attempt to appraise and determine the Fair Market Rent.<br \/>\nIf they are unable to agree within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has<br \/>\nbeen appointed, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser who meets the<br \/>\nqualifications stated in Section A1(d)(i) within ten (10) days after the last<br \/>\nday the two appraisers are given to determine the Fair Market Rent.  If they are<br \/>\nunable to agree on a third appraiser, either of the parties to this Lease, by<br \/>\ngiving ten (10) days&#8217; notice to the other party, can apply to the presiding<br \/>\njudge of the Superior Court for the county in which the Premises are located for<br \/>\nthe selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in<br \/>\nSectionyA1(d)(i).  Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1\/2) of the cost of<br \/>\nappointing the third appraiser and of the third appraiser&#8217;s fees.  The third<br \/>\nappraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in<br \/>\nany capacity for either party.<\/p>\n<p>          (v) Within ten (10) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a<br \/>\nmajority of the appraisers shall appraise and determine the Fair Market Rent.<br \/>\nIf a majority of the appraisers are unable to so set the Fair Market Rent within<br \/>\nthe required period of time, the appraisals of the three appraisers shall be<br \/>\nadded together and their total divided by three.  The resulting quotient shall<br \/>\nbe the Fair Market Rent.<\/p>\n<p>(vi)  If, however, the low appraisal or the high appraisal are more than ten<br \/>\npercent (10%) lower or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal or<br \/>\nthe high appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded,<br \/>\nthe remaining two appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by<br \/>\ntwo. The resulting quotient shall be the Fair Market Rent. If two appraisals are<br \/>\ndisregarded, the remaining appraisal shall be the Fair Market Rent.<\/p>\n<p>      A2.    Property Taxes.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, as of the<br \/>\ndate hereof, neither the Building nor the office portions of the Building are<br \/>\nseparately assessed for purposes of determining Property Taxes.
