| 3. |
Adjustment of Commencement Date; Possession
. |
3.01 Landlord’s failure
to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work by the Commencement
Date shall not be a default by Landlord or otherwise render
Landlord liable for damages. Promptly after the determination of
the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a
commencement letter agreement in the Form attached as
Exhibit D , which commencement letter agreement shall
be deemed accepted if not executed and returned to Landlord by
Tenant within 30 days after the date that Landlord delivers the
commencement letter agreement to Tenant for execution. If the
Termination Date does not fall on the last day of a calendar month,
Landlord and Tenant may elect to adjust the Termination Date to the
last day of the calendar month in which Termination Date occurs by
the mutual execution (or deemed mutual execution) of a commencement
letter agreement setting forth such adjusted date. The Landlord
Work shall be deemed to be “ Substantially Complete
” on the date that all Landlord Work has been performed,
other than any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or
any other similar matter the non-completion of which does not
materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. If
Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord Work as a
result of the acts or omissions of Tenant, the Tenant Related
Parties (defined in Section 13) or their respective
contractors or vendors, including, without limitation, changes
requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenant’s failure to
comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or the
specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (a
“ Tenant Delay ”), the Landlord Work shall be
deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could
reasonably have been expected to Substantially Complete the
Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay.
Notwithstanding the foregoing but
subject to the terms of this Section 3, Landlord grants Tenant
the right to enter the Premises, at Tenant’s sole risk,
commencing upon the full execution of this Lease and expiring on
December 31, 2003, for the purpose of installing
telecommunications, data cabling, equipment, furnishings and other
personality in the Premises. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant
may commence its business in the Premises prior to the Commencement
Date without the obligation to pay Base Rent. Landlord may withdraw
such permission to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement
Date at any time that Landlord reasonably determines that such
entry by Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for Landlord,
Tenant or their respective contractors or employees, or if Landlord
reasonably determines that such entry by Tenant is hampering or
otherwise preventing Landlord from proceeding with the completion
of Landlord’s Work at the earliest possible date.
3.02 Subject to
Landlord’s obligation, if any, to perform Landlord Work, the
Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition
and configuration without any representations or warranties by
Landlord. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees that
the Premises are in good order and satisfactory condition. Landlord
shall not be liable for a failure to deliver possession of the
Premises or any other space due to the holdover or unlawful
possession of such space by another party, however Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space. The
commencement date for the space, in such event, shall be postponed
until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to
tenant free from occupancy by any party. If Tenant takes possession
of the Premises before the Commencement Date, such possession shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant
shall pay Rent (defined in Section 4.01) to Landlord for each
day of possession before the Commencement Date. However, except for
the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. freight elevator
usage), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for any days of
possession before the
-2-
Commencement Date during which Tenant,
with the approval of Landlord, is in possession of the Premises For
the sole purpose of performing Improvements or installing
furniture, equipment or other personal property.
4.01 Tenant shall pay
Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, unless expressly set
forth in this Lease, all Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the
Term (collectively referred to as “ Rent ”).
Additional Rent means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant
is required to pay Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall pay and
be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding income
taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent. Base Rent and
recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and
payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without
notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent for
the first full calendar month of the Term, and the first monthly
installment of Additional Rent for Expenses and Taxes, shall be
payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items
of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days
after billing by Landlord. Rent shall be made payable to the
entity, and sent to the address Landlord designates and shall be
made by good and sufficient check or by other means acceptable to
Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to
5% of all past due Rent, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to
a grace period of 5 days for the first 2 late payments of Rent in a
calendar year. In addition, past due Rent shall accrue interest at
12% per annum. Landlord’s acceptance of less than the
correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of
the earliest Rent due. Rent for any partial month during the Term
shall be prorated. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter
accompanying payment shall be considered an accord and
satisfaction. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of
every other covenant in this Lease.
4.02 Tenant shall pay
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses in accordance
with Exhibit B of this Lease.
| 5. |
Compliance with Laws; Use . |
The Premises shall be used
for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall
comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and
regulations of any municipal or governmental entity whether in
effect now or later, including the Americans with Disabilities Act
“Law(s)” regarding the operation of Tenant’s
business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the
Premises. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly comply with any Laws that relate to the “ Base
Building ” (defined below), but only to the extent such
obligations are triggered by Tenant’s use of the Premises,
other than for general office use, or Alterations or Improvements
in the Promises performed or requested by Tenant. “ Base
Building ” shall include the structural portions of the
Building, the public restrooms and the Building mechanical,
electrical and plumbing systems and equipment located in the
internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the
Premises are located. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with
copies of any notices it receives regarding an alleged violation of
Law. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the
Building attached as Exhibit E and such other
reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to
time, including rules and regulations for the performance of
Alterations (defined in Section 9).
The Security Deposit shall be
delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant
and held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless
required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s
obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent
or a measure of damages. Landlord may use all or a portion of the
Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent or to cure any Default
(defined in Section 18) by Tenant. If Landlord uses any
portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within 5 days after
demand, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.
Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit
to Tenant within 45 days after the later to occur of:
(a) determination of the final Rent due from Tenant; or
(b) the later to occur of the Termination Date or the date
Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in compliance with
Section 25. Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to a
successor or transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord
shall have no further liability for the return of the Security
Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security
Deposit separate from its other accounts. Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or
any similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in
effect.
7.01 Landlord shall furnish
Tenant with the following services: (a) water for use in the
Base Building lavatories; (b) customary heat and air
conditioning in season during Building Service Hours (provided that
Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service during hours

standard charge for additional HVAC service and providing such
prior notice as is reasonably specified by Landlord);
(c) standard Janitorial service on Business Days;
(d) Elevator
-3-
service; (e) Electricity in
accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; and
(f) such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are
necessary or appropriate for the Property.
7.02 Electricity used by
Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid
for by Tenant either: (a) through inclusion in Expenses
(except as provided for excess usage); (b) by a separate
charge payable by Tenant to Landlord; or (c) by separate
charge billed by the applicable utility company and payable
directly by Tenant. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s
use of electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage,
rated capacity, use beyond Building Service Hours or overall load
that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the
Building. Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage
by commonly accepted methods. If it is determined that Tenant is
using excess electricity, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of
such excess electrical usage as Additional Rent.
7.03 Landlord’s failure
to furnish, or any interruption, diminishment or termination of
services due to the application of Laws, the failure of any
equipment, the performance of repairs, improvements or alterations,
utility interruptions or the occurrence of an event of Force
Majeure (defined in Section 26.03) (collectively a “
Service Failure ”) shall not render Landlord liable to
Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to
an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to
fulfill any covenant or agreement. However, if the Premises, or a
material portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a
period in excess of 3 consecutive Business Days as a result of
a Service Failure that is reasonably within the control of Landlord
to correct, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to
receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period
beginning on the 4 th consecutive Business Day of the Service
Failure and ending on the day the service has been restored. If the
entire Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service
Failure, the amount of abatement shall be equitably
prorated.
| 8. |
Leasehold Improvements . |
All improvements in and to
the Premises, including any Alterations (collectively, “
Leasehold Improvements ”) shall remain upon the
Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant.
Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days
prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense,
to remove (a) any Cable (defined in Section 9.01)
installed by or for the benefit of Tenant, and (b) any
Landlord Work or Alterations that, in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair

associated with standard office improvements (collectively referred
to as “ Required Removables ”). Required
Removables shall include, without limitation, internal stairways,
raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file
systems and structural alterations and modifications. The
designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before
the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the
installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to
perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform
such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at the time it
requests approval for a proposed Alteration, may request in writing
that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion
of the Alteration is a Required Removable. Within 10 days after
receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in
writing as to which portions of the Alteration are Required
Removables.

9.01 Tenant shall
periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that

promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions.

responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without
limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) interior
partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising
walls; (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related
equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of
Tenant (collectively, “ Cable ”);
(f) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including

serving Tenant; and (g) Alterations. To the extent Landlord is
not reimbursed by insurance proceeds, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by
the acts of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties and their respective
contractors and vendors. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the
Premises for more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although
notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make
the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the
repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal
to 10% of the cost of the repairs.
9.02 Landlord shall keep and
maintain in good repair and working order and perform maintenance
upon the: (a) structural elements of the Building;
(b) mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and
fire/life safety systems serving the Building in general;
(c) Common Areas; (d) roof of the Building;
(e) exterior windows of the Building; and (f) elevators
serving the Building. Landlord shall promptly make repairs for
which Landlord is responsible. Tenant hereby waives any and all
rights under and benefits of
-4-
subsection 1 of Section 1932, and
Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any similar
or successor Law now or hereinafter in effect.
9.03 Tenant shall not make
alterations, repairs, additions or improvements or install any
Cable (collectively referred to as “ Alterations
”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in
each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. However, Landlord’s consent shall not be required
for any Alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria (a
“ Cosmetic Alteration ”): (a) is of a
cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures
and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from the exterior
of the Premises or Building; (c) will not affect the Base
Building; and (d) does not require work to be performed inside
the walls or above the railing of the Premises. Cosmetic
Alterations shall be subject to all the other provisions of this
Section 9.03. Prior to starting work, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with plans and specifications; names of contractors
reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may
designate specific contractors with respect to Base Building);
required permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and
subcontractor’s insurance in amounts reasonably required by
Landlord and naming Landlord as an additional insured; and any
security for performance in amounts reasonably required by
Landlord. Changes to the plans and specifications must also be
submitted to Landlord for its approval. Alterations shall be
constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a
quality reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord for third party examination
of Tenant’s plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations. In addition,
Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and
coordination of any non-Cosmetic Alterations equal to 10% of the
cost of the Alterations. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish
“as-built” plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations,
completion affidavits and full and final waivers of lien.
Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be deemed a
representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with
Law.
Landlord may enter the
Premises to inspect, show or clean the Premises or to perform or
facilitate the performance of repairs, alterations or additions to
the Premises or any portion of the Building. Except in emergencies
or to provide Building services, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
reasonable prior verbal notice of entry and shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the
Premises. If reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close
all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations
and additions. However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not
close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on
weekends and after Building Service Hours. Entry by Landlord shall
not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an
abatement or reduction of Rent.
| 11. |
Assignment and Subletting . |
11.01 Except in connection
with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 11.04), Tenant
shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in
this Lease or allow any third party to use any part of the Premises
(collectively or individually, a “ Transfer ”)
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if Landlord
does not exercise its recapture rights under Section 11.02. If
the entity which controls the voting shares/rights of Tenant
changes at any time, such change of ownership or control shall
constitute a Transfer unless Tenant is an entity whose outstanding
stock is listed on a recognized securities exchange or if at least
80% of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting
stock of which is so listed. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar
or successor Laws, now or hereinafter in effect, and all other
remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity
to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent
permitted under all applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed
transferee. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section is
voidable by Landlord. In no event shall any Transfer, including a
Permitted Transfer, release or relieve Tenant from any obligation
under this Lease.
11.02 Tenant shall provide
Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee, a
fully executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other
Transfer documentation and such other information as Landlord may
reasonably request. Within 15 Business Days after receipt of
the required information and documentation, Landlord shall either:
(a) consent to the Transfer by execution of a consent
agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord;
(b) reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing;
or (c) in the event of an assignment of this Lease or
subletting of more than 20% of the Rentable Area of the Premises
for more than 50% of the remaining Term (excluding unexercised
options), recapture the portion of the Premises that Tenant is
proposing to Transfer. If Landlord exercises its right to
recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated
if the entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the
applicable portion of the Premises effective on the proposed
effective date of the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review
fee of $1,500.00 for Landlord’s review of any Permitted
Transfer or requested Transfer
11.03 Tenant shall pay
Landlord 50% of all rent and other consideration which Tenant
receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent
payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and
-5-
Term covered by the Transfer. Tenant
shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of the excess within
30 days after Tenant’s receipt of the excess. Tenant may
deduct from the excess, on a straight-line basis, all reasonable
and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable to
the Transfer. If Tenant is in Default, Landlord may require that
all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case
Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of
Tenant’s share of payments received by Landlord.
11.04 Tenant may assign this
Lease to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation
or reorganization (an “ Ownership Change ”) or
assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to an
Affiliate without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the
following conditions are satisfied (a “ Permitted
Transfer ”): (a) Tenant is not in Default;
(b) in the event of an Ownership Change, Tenant’s
successor shall own substantially all of the assets of Tenant and
have a net worth which is at least equal to Tenant’s net
worth as of the day prior to the proposed Ownership Change;
(c) the Permitted Use does not allow the Premises to be used
for retail purposes; and (d) Tenant shall give Landlord
written notice at least 15 Business Days prior to the
effective date of the Permitted Transfer. Tenant’s notice to
Landlord shall include information and documentation evidencing the
Permitted Transfer and allowing that each of the above conditions
has been satisfied. If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s
successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption
agreement. “ Affiliate ” shall mean an entity
controlled by, controlling or under common control with
Tenant.
Tenant shall not permit
mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the Property,
Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with
any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit
of Tenant or its transferees. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at
least 15 days prior to the commencement of any work in the
Premises to afford Landlord the opportunity, where applicable, to
post and record notices of non-responsibility. Tenant, within
10 days of notice from Landlord, shall fully discharge any
lien by settlement, by bonding or by insuring over the lien in the
manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to do
so, Landlord may bond, insure ever or otherwise discharge the lien.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees.
| 13. |
Indemnity and Waiver of Claims . |
Tenant hereby waives all
claims against and releases Landlord and its trustees, members,
principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors,
employees, Mortgagees (defined in Section 23) and agents (the

claim for Tenant’s Property and Tenant’s reasonable
relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not
diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of
the Premises is subject to a Taking and this lease is not
terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the
remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the
condition immediately prior to the Taking. Tenant hereby waives any

floor or retail Tenant, Tenant does not take possession of or
abandons or vacates all or any portion of the Premises; or

under any other lease or agreement with Landlord at the Building or
Property. If Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Tenant’s
failure to comply with any specific provision of this Lease on
3 separate occasions during any 12 month period,
Tenant’s subsequent violation of such provision shall, at
Landlord’s option, be an incurable Default by Tenant All

The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively

knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of
such Rent. No waiver by Landlord of any breach hereof shall be
