                              ARTICLE II. PREMISES

 

     SECTION 2.1. LEASED PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases

from Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the "Premises"), containing

approximately the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

The Premises are located in the building identified in Item 1 of the Basic Lease

Provisions (which together with the underlying real property, is called the

"Building"), and is a portion of the project shown in Exhibit Y (the "Project").

Tenant understands that the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease

Provisions may include, at Landlord's option, a factor approximating the total

square footage of any common lobby or internal common features of the Building

times the ratio of the actual square footage of the Premises to the total square

footage of the Building. The parties agree that the Floor Area of the Premises

specified in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions shall be the rentable area of

the Premises for all purposes under this Lease notwithstanding any later

determination or remeasure by either party. Landlord shall have no right to

relocate Tenant from the Premises at any time during the Term of this Lease or

any extension.

 

     SECTION 2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that, except as

expressly provided in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any representative of

Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or

the Building or the suitability or fitness of either for any purpose, including,

without limitation, any representations or warranties regarding zoning or other

land use matters; and that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord

has made any representations or warranties regarding (i) what other tenants or

uses may be permitted or intended in the Building and the Project, or (ii) any

exclusivity of use by Tenant with respect to its permitted use of the Premises

as set forth in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant further

acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has agreed

to undertake any alterations or additions or construct any improvements to the

Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease. The taking of possession or

use of the Premises by Tenant for the conduct of Tenant's business therein (but

not for construction or early entry for fixturization in accordance with the

Work Letter) shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building

were in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions of this

Lease in all respects, except for: (i) those matters which Tenant brings to

Landlord's attention on a written punch list delivered to Landlord within thirty

(30) days after the Term of this Lease commences with respect to the Premises ,

and (ii) Landlord's other obligations specifically provided in this Lease,

including, without limitation, the responsibilities contained in Section 2.4

hereof. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect the commencement of the

Term or the obligation of Tenant to pay rent. Landlord shall diligently complete

all punch list items of which it is notified as provided above.

 

     SECTION 2.3. BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS. Tenant shall not utilize any name

selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the Project as

any part of Tenant's corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have the right to

change the name, address, number or designation of the Building or Project

without liability to Tenant; provided, however, if the address of the Building

and/or the Project is changed by Landlord, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant

with no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice and to reimburse Tenant

for all expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in conjunction with such address

change (including, without limitation, the cost of changing Tenant's stationery

and of notifying Tenant's clients and customers of Tenant's new address of the

Building and/or the Project), not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in

the aggregate.

 

     SECTION 2.4 LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

 

          (a) Landlord shall correct, repair or replace, at Landlord's sole cost

and expense and not as a Project Cost, any non-compliance of the Building

exterior and the Common Areas with all applicable building permits and codes in

effect as of the Commencement Date, including, without limitation, the

provisions of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA") in effect

as of the Commencement Date. Said costs of compliance shall be Landlord's sole

cost and shall not be part of Project Costs. Landlord shall correct, repair or

replace any non-compliance of the Building exterior and the Common Areas with

any revisions or amendments to the ADA in effect after the Commencement Date,

provided that the amortized cost of such repairs or replacements (amortized over

the useful life thereof using a market cost of funds reasonably determined by

Landlord) shall be included as Project Costs payable by Tenant. All other ADA

compliance issues which pertain to the Premises, including, without limitation,

in connection with Tenant's construction of any alterations or other

improvements in the Premises (and any resulting ADA compliance requirements in

the Common Areas), the Tenant Improvements and the operation of Tenant's

business and employment practices in the Premises, shall be the responsibility

of Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Landlord shall, during the initial Lease

Term, correct, repair or replace, at Landlord's sole cost and expense and not as

a Project Cost, any failure of the structural components of the roof,

foundations, footings and load-bearing walls of the Building. The repairs,

corrections or replacements required of Landlord or of Tenant under the

foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 shall be made promptly following notice

of non-compliance from any applicable governmental agency.

 

          (b) Landlord warrants to Tenant that the Shell Building Improvements

as defined in the Discovery Outline Specifications (as defined in the Work

Letter) and the Tenant Improvements to be completed pursuant to the Work Letter

shall be free from defects in workmanship or materials for a period of twelve

(12) months from the Commencement Date. Landlord shall promptly rectify any

non-compliance at its sole cost and expense after receipt of written notice from

Tenant within such time setting forth the nature and extent of any such

non-compliance. Landlord shall obtain customary warranties and guaranties from

the contractor(s) performing the Tenant Improvement work and/or the

manufacturers of equipment installed but shall be under no obligation to incur

additional expense in order to obtain or extend such warranties. If after

expiration of the initial twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Tenant is

required to make repairs to any component of the Premises or any of its systems

for which Landlord may have obtained

 

                                                                               3

<PAGE>

a warranty, Landlord shall, upon request by Tenant, use its good faith efforts

to pursue its rights under any such warranties for the benefit of Tenant.

Landlord shall be under no obligation to incur any expense in connection with

asserting rights under such warranties or guaranties against either the

contractor or the manufacturer, but shall use reasonable good faith efforts to

enforce such warranties and guaranties for Tenant's benefit.

 

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease,

Landlord agrees to maintain and repair, at its sole cost and expense and not as

an Operating Expense the structural components of the roof and Building,

including floor/ceiling slabs, columns, beams, walls and the foundations and

footings of the Building during the initial Lease Term. If a non-compliance with

the foregoing warranty exists, Landlord shall, promptly after receipt of the

written notice from Tenant setting forth the nature and extent of such

non-compliance, rectify same at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

 

     SECTION 2.5. RIGHTS TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE. Provided Tenant is not then

in default of any monetary covenant of this Lease (including, without

limitation, the obligation to pay Basic Rent and/or Tenant's Share of Operating

Expenses), or any material non-monetary covenant, following written notice to

Tenant and the expiration of the applicable cure period, Landlord hereby grants

Tenant the rights described in this Section.

 

          (a) TENANT'S EXPANSION RIGHT - 42 AND 46 DISCOVERY. Unless Tenant has

previously received from Landlord a notice pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this

Section with respect to Designated First Right Space, Tenant shall have the

right from the date of execution of this Lease to October 31, 2001 to expand the

area of the Premises (the "Expansion Right") by delivering written notice to

Landlord ("Expansion Notice") expressing Tenant's desire to lease all or a

leasable portion (in a configuration reasonably acceptable to Landlord) of any

space then available in the buildings owned by Landlord located at 42 and/or 46

Discovery (the "Expansion Space") upon the same terms and conditions as set

forth in this Lease. Tenant's Expansion Notice shall identify the amount of

space Tenant desires and, if less than a full floor, a depiction of the area

desired. Landlord shall have the right in its sole discretion reasonably

exercised to designate the final configuration of the Expansion Space if less

than a full floor is requested. In the event Tenant gives Landlord an Expansion

Notice prior to the Commencement Date, all terms and conditions of this Lease

including Base rent and additional rent shall apply with respect to the

Expansion Space so added to the Premises. In the event Tenant gives Landlord an

Expansion Notice on or after the Commencement Date but prior to August 1, 2001,

all terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply except that the Base Rent

applicable to the Expansion Space shall be $0.05 per square foot per month

greater than the rental rates set forth in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions

with respect to the Premises. In the event Tenant gives Landlord an Expansion

Notice between August 1, 2001 and October 31, 2001, all terms and conditions of

the Lease shall apply except that the Base Rent applicable to the Expansion

Space shall be $0.15 per square foot per month greater than the rental rates set

forth in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant's rights under this

Section shall expire and be of no further force and effect unless exercised on

or before October 31, 2001. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's expansion

rights pursuant to this subparagraph shall terminate with respect to any

Designated First Right Space which Landlord has previously offered to Tenant

pursuant to the Right of First Refusal described below. The date any Expansion

Space is added to the Premises shall be the date which is fourteen (14) calendar

weeks after the date of the Expansion Notice and the termination date with

respect to such portion of the Premises shall be the date which is sixty (60)

months after the Commencement Date with respect to such space.

 

          (b) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL - 42 AND 46 DISCOVERY. In addition to the

Expansion Right set forth above, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the one-time

right of first refusal applicable to the initial leasing only ("First Right") to

lease all or any portion equal to or larger than one full floor of space in the

buildings located at 42 and 46 Discovery ("First Right Space") in accordance

with and subject to the provisions of this subsection. At any time after the

date of this Lease, but prior to leasing the First Right Space, or any portion

thereof, to any third party, if Landlord has reached a tentative agreement

(which may be a nonbinding, tentative agreement) to lease any of the First Right

Space to a third party, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice describing the

space (the "Designated First Right Space") and the basic economic terms

including but not limited to the Basic Rent, term, operating expenses, and

tenant improvement allowance (collectively, the "Economic Terms"), tentatively

agreed upon for such lease. It is understood that should Landlord intend to

lease other space in addition to the First Right Space as part of a single

transaction, then Landlord's notice shall so provide and all such space shall

collectively be subject to the First Right provisions. If the Designated First

Refusal Space is less than one complete floor of the First Right Space, Tenant's

First Right shall be exercisable at a minimum with respect to the entire floor

which contains the Designated First Right Space but Tenant shall have the right

to exercise its First Refusal with respect to any of the First Right Space then

remaining unleased upon the Economic Terms set forth in Landlord' Notice.

 

     Within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord's notice, Tenant

shall give Landlord written notice ("Tenant's First Right Response Notice")

pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to: (i) lease the Designated First Right

Space (but in no event less than one complete floor of the First Right Space) or

to lease all remaining First Right Space upon the Economic Terms; or (ii)

decline to lease the Designated First Right Space, in which event Landlord may

lease the Designated First Right Space to any third party upon the Economic

Terms and such other terms as it deems appropriate. In the event that Tenant

fails to respond in writing to Landlord's notice within said five (5) business

day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. In the

event Tenant elects not to lease the Designated First Right Space or fails to

respond, Tenant's First Right as set forth in this subsection shall terminate as

to any remaining space in the building containing the Designated First Right

Space. In the event that Landlord shall not enter into a lease for the

Designated First Right Space, or a portion thereof, with a third party within

one hundred eighty (180) days following Landlord's notice described above, then

prior to leasing the Designated First Right Space to any third party thereafter,

Landlord shall repeat the procedures set forth in this subsection one final time

but no such event shall revive Tenant's Expansion Right as set forth above. The

term, commencement and expiration date for any First Right

 

                                                                                4

<PAGE>

Space added to the Premises shall be as set forth in the Economic Terms and such

dates shall not affect the Commencement Date or expiration date of this Lease

with respect to the Premises.

 

          (c) ADDITIONAL FIRST RIGHT SPACE. In the event that Tenant leases all

of 42 Discovery or 46 Discovery, whether by exercise of an Expansion Right

pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Section or by exercise of one or more

Rights of First Refusal pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section, then

Tenant shall have the one-time Right of First Refusal applicable to the initial

leasing only on space within the buildings currently under construction by

Landlord located at 36 Discovery and 38 Discovery (collectively the "Additional

First Right Space") upon all the terms and conditions set forth in subparagraph

(b) of this Section except that all references to First Right Space shall be

deemed to refer to the Additional First Right Space.

 

          (d) DOCUMENTATION OF ADDITIONAL SPACE. In the event Tenant exercises

any or its rights under this Section to expand the Premises, then Landlord shall

promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant either an amendment to this Lease or a

new lease upon the same terms and conditions but which pertains only the

addition to the Premises and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord

within ten (10) business days. Tenant's failure to timely return the amendment

shall be a default under this Lease with the Premises expanded as set forth in

such amendment.

 

          (e) RIGHTS LIMITED TO BROADCOM. Tenant's rights under this Section 2.5

shall belong solely to Broadcom Corporation, a California corporation, and may

not be assigned or transferred except in connection with the assignment of this

Lease to a "Tenant Affiliate" as hereinafter defined. Any attempted assignment

or transfer of such rights except to a Tenant Affiliate shall be void and of no

force or effect.

 

     SECTION 2.6 GRANT OF LICENSE RIGHTS. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a

non-exclusive license and permission to enter upon the areas described below

(the "Licensed Area") for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth

in this Section (the "License").The Licensed Area shall be considered to be a

part of the Premises for all purposes under the Lease but there shall be no

license fee or rent payable to Landlord with respect thereto, and except as

otherwise expressly provided in this Section, all provisions applicable to the

use of the Premises under the Lease shall apply to the Licensed Area and its use

by Tenant.

 

     (a) License to Roof Areas for Telecommunication Equipment. Landlord grants

to Tenant the license and right to enter upon the areas of the roof to be

designated on a written plan approved by Landlord for the installation,

operation and maintenance of microwave and/or satellite antenna dishes and/or

global positioning satellite ("GPS") antenna and related wires, cables, conduits

(collectively the "Communications Equipment"). All such equipment shall be

screened from view in a manner consistent with Landlord's requirements for

screening such equipment elsewhere in the Project. Tenant shall at all times

operate and maintain the Communications Equipment so as to ensure that such

systems do not create electro-magnetic or other disturbances to existing systems

in the area in which the Project is located whether operated by Landlord, other

tenants or third parties. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any repair or

maintenance to the roof required as a result of Tenant's activities. Landlord

agrees that in the event it grants one or more licenses to third parties to

install, operate and/or maintain Communications Equipment on the roof of the

Building, Landlord shall obtain a covenant from such third parties that they

shall operate any such systems in a manner which will not create unreasonable

electro-magnetic or other disturbances to or with systems being operated by

Tenant on the roof of the Building in accordance with the terms of this License.

 

     (b) License to Common Areas for Generator Equipment. Landlord grants Tenant

the license and right to enter upon and use an area to be designated on a

written plan approved by Landlord for the installation, operation and

maintenance of a backup power generator and associated fuel tank, the plans for

which shall be approved by Landlord. The License Area for use in connection with

the generator will include area for the passage of related wires, cables and

conduit between Tenant's electrical room and the generator itself, all is to be

more specifically defined in the proposed plan. Tenant shall have access to the

Licensed Area for the generator on a 24 hour per day/7 day per week basis;

provided, however, that Tenant shall not undertake any repairs or maintenance in

such Licensed Area which would interfere with the use of the Common Areas by

other tenants without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall not

unreasonably withhold its consent to any such repairs or maintenance, but may

impose reasonable conditions thereon and Tenant shall undertake any such work as

expeditiously as reasonably possible so as to cause as little interference with

the rights of other tenants of the Project as possible. Tenant has advised

Landlord that it intends to run the generator on a regular basis in order to

comply with maintenance specifications and requirements of law and that such

operation may be as often as one (1) thirty (30) minute period per week. Except

in cases of emergency, when no prior approval shall be required, Tenant shall

propose for Landlord's reasonable approval the schedule for operation of the

generator which will provide minimal interference with the use of the Project by

other tenants.

 

     (c) License to Common Areas for Conduit. Tenant shall have the right, at

its sole cost and expense, to trench in the Common Areas within the boundaries

of the Project reasonably approved by Landlord (which approval may be withheld

or conditioned if such trenching adversely affects other tenants of the Project)

and, if necessary, to trench beneath Discovery Way, subject to Tenant's

obtaining all required governmental permits, consents and approvals, for the

purpose of "hard wiring" for voice, data and power transmissions between and

among the Buildings within the Project which are fully or partially occupied by

Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of any

such conduit installed throughout the Term of this Lease. Tenant shall not be

obligated to remove such conduit but Tenant shall be required to strip all

cabling from such conduit at its sole cost and expense upon expiration or

earlier termination of this Lease.

 

     (d) Additional Terms and Conditions.

 

                                                                               5

<PAGE>

          (1) The Term of the License shall be coterminous with this Lease and,

subject to the terms hereof, shall be irrevocable so long as the Lease remains

in effect;

 

          (2) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any license fee for the use

of the Licensed Areas pursuant to this Section during the Term of this Lease or

any extension thereof.

 

          (3) Tenant shall use the Licensed Areas only for the installation,

operation, repair, replacement and maintenance of the referenced equipment and

the necessary mechanical and electrical equipment to service said equipment and

for no other use or purpose. The installation of all equipment and facilities

related thereto, including any required conduit from the Premises to the

Licensed Areas, shall be deemed to constitute an alteration subject to the

provisions of Section 7.3 of the Lease, provided that Landlord shall not

unreasonably withhold its approval of the same. Landlord may require appropriate

screening for any equipment installed within the Licensed Areas as a condition

of Landlord's approval of the plans submitted.

 

          (4) The Communications Equipment shall be used only for transmitting

and/or receiving data, audio and/or video signals to and from Tenant's

facilities within the Premises for Tenant's business use, and shall not be used

or permitted to be used by Tenant for purposes of broadcasting signals to the

public or to provide telecommunications or other communications transmitting or

receiving services to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall

not be prohibited from transmitting or receiving broadcasting signals to and

from its customers, business affiliates and/or employees in connection with the

conduct of its business in the Premises.

 

          (5) In the event Landlord reasonably determines that the presence or

operation of the equipment installed by Tenant is or will results in material

damage to the Building, Landlord reserves the right upon reasonable prior

written notice to Tenant to require either (a) the relocation of all equipment

installed by Tenant on the roof of the Building to another location on the roof

of the Building reasonably designated by Landlord, or (b) the removal of any and

all of such equipment unless Tenant makes satisfactory arrangements to protect

Landlord, the Building and its tenants therefrom;

 

          (6) Tenant shall require its employees, when using the Licensed Areas,

to stay within the immediate vicinity thereof. In addition, in the event any

communications system or broadcast or receiving facilities are operating in the

area, Tenant shall at all times during the term of the License conduct its

operations so as to ensure that such system or facilities shall not be subjected

to harmful interference as a result of such operations by Tenant. Upon

notification from Landlord of any such interference, Tenant agrees to

immediately take the necessary steps to correct such situation, and Tenant's

failure to do so shall be deemed a default under the terms of this Lease subject

to the applicable cure right in accordance with Section 14.1 hereof.

 

          (7) During the term of the License, Tenant shall comply with any

standards promulgated by applicable governmental authorities regarding the

installation, use or maintenance of the Communications Equipment or generator or

the generation of electromagnetic fields. In the event Landlord is advised by a

governmental agency that the Communications Equipment poses a health or safety

hazard to occupants of the Building, Landlord may require Tenant to make

arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to mitigate such hazard or, if

Tenant either fails or is unable to make such satisfactory arrangements, to

remove the Communications Equipment. Any claim or liability resulting from the

use of the Communications Equipment or the Licensed Areas by Tenant shall be

subject to the indemnification provisions of this Lease applicable to Tenant's

use of the Premises;

 

          (8) During the term of the License, Tenant shall pay all taxes

attributable to the Communications Equipment and generator and other equipment

owned and installed by Tenant, and Tenant shall assure and provide Landlord with

evidence that the Licensed Area and Tenant's use thereof are subject to the

insurance coverages otherwise required to be maintained by Tenant as to the

Premises pursuant to Exhibit D;

 

          (9) Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant

shall remove the Communications Equipment and generator and all related

equipment and facilities, including any conduit from the Premises to the

Licensed Areas and any other portions of the Building within or upon which the

same may be installed, and shall restore the Licensed Areas and all other areas

affected by such removal to their original condition, reasonable wear and tear

excepted, all at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Tenant shall not be obligated to remove underground conduit between the Building

and the Generator pad provided it removes all cabling and caps the conduit in a

manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and

 

          (10) The License is personal to Tenant and shall not be assignable in

whole or in part (except to a Tenant Affiliate which is occupying a portion of

the Building and any subtenant or assignee approved by Landlord in accordance

with the Terms of this Lease), and any attempted assignment thereof without the

consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and

absolute discretion, shall immediately terminate the License. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect to an

assignment of the License to any Tenant Affiliate.

 

                                ARTICLE III. TERM

 

     SECTION 3.1. GENERAL. The term of this Lease (the "Term") for the Premises

shall be for the period shown in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Subject

to the provisions of Section 3.2 below, the Term shall commence

 

                                                                               6

<PAGE>

("Commencement Date") on the earlier to occur of: (i) ten (10) business days

following the date that (A) Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord has

substantially completed the construction of the Tenant Improvements in

accordance with the Work Letter attached as EXHIBIT X hereto, but for minor

"punch list" items identified by Landlord and Tenant in a walk-through of the

Premises prior to the Commencement Date, which items do not preclude or

materially impair Tenant from conducting its business from the Premises, and (B)

Landlord has provided Tenant with all parking required by this Lease in the

Common Area of the Project, and (C) Landlord has obtained and provided Tenant

with a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy for the

Premises from the City of Irvine or (ii) the date Tenant acquires possession or

commences use of such portion of the Premises for any purpose other than

construction or installation of equipment, furniture, fixtures or network and

telecommunications cabling. Within ten (10) days after the Commencement Date has

occurred, the parties shall memorialize on a form provided by Landlord the

actual Commencement Date and the expiration date ("Expiration Date") of this

Lease. Tenant's failure to execute that form shall not affect the validity of

Landlord's determination of those dates. The Term shall be for the period shown

in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

 

     SECTION 3.2. DELAY IN POSSESSION. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever,

cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the

Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord

be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant have approved Plans and Specifications (as

defined in the Work Letter) and such Plans and Specifications have been

submitted to the City of Irvine for building permits on or before January 19,

2001 but Tenant is unable to occupy the Premises on or before October 31, 2001,

(the "Outside Date") because the City of Irvine refuses or is prevented from

issuing the permits required to construct the Tenant Improvements reasonably

consistent with the Plans and Specifications, and, provided that Tenant is not

then in default of its obligations under this Lease after expiration of the

applicable cure period, Tenant shall have the one-time right to terminate this

Lease by giving Landlord written notice to that effect after the Outside Date

but prior to November 15, 2001. In the event this Lease is terminated by Tenant,

pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Tenant shall pay to Landlord

concurrently with its notice of termination the unamortized portion of the real

estate brokerage commission paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease.

 

     SECTION 3.3. RIGHT TO EXTEND THE LEASE TERM. Provided that Tenant is not in

default of any monetary covenant of this Lease (including, without limitation,

the obligation to pay Basic Rent and/or Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses) or

any material non-monetary covenant, following written notice and the expiration

of the applicable cure period, either at the time of exercise of the extension

right granted herein or at the time of the commencement of such extension, then

Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) period of sixty (60)

months. Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term by and only by

delivering Landlord, not later than nine (9) months or sooner than twelve (12)

months prior to the expiration date of the then current Term, Tenant's

irrevocable written notice of its commitment to extend (the "Commitment

Notice"). The Basic Rent payable under the Lease during the extension of the

Term shall be at the fair market rental, including subsequent adjustments, for

comparable office space being leased by Landlord in the Irvine Spectrum.

Landlord will provide written notice to Tenant of Landlord's good faith

determination of the fair market rental rate not later than thirty (30) days

after the date upon which Tenant timely exercises its extension option. Tenant

will have thirty (30) days ("Tenant's Review Period") after receipt of

Landlord's notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such

fair market rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Tenant's

failure to object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in

writing within Tenant's Review Period will conclusively be deemed Tenant's

approval and acceptance thereof. If Tenant reasonably objects to the fair market

rental rate submitted by Landlord within Tenant's Review Period, Landlord and

Tenant will attempt in good faith to agree upon such fair market rental rate

using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach

agreement on such fair market rental rate within thirty (30) days following the

expiration of Tenant's Review Period (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then either

party may elect, by written notice to the other party, to cause said rental,

including subsequent adjustments, to be determined by appraisal as follows.

 

          Within ten (10) business days following receipt of such appraisal

election, the parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to determine the

fair market rental. If the parties are unable to agree in that time, then each

party shall designate an appraiser within ten (10) business days thereafter.

Should either party fail to so designate an appraiser within that time, then the

appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the fair rental value.

Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser, then the two

appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser who shall, acting

alone, determine the fair rental value of the Premises. Any appraiser designated

hereunder shall have an M.A.I. certification with not less than five (5) years

experience in the valuation of commercial office buildings in Orange County,

California.

 

          Within thirty (30) days following the selection of the appraiser, such

appraiser shall determine the fair market rental value of the Premises,

including subsequent adjustments of rent, if any. In determining such value, the

appraiser shall consider rental comparables for space in the Irvine Spectrum

(including, without limitation, the Project). In no event shall the appraiser

attribute factors for market tenant improvement allowances or brokerage

commissions to reduce said fair market rental. Landlord and Tenant shall each

pay for the services of their respective appraisers and shall share equally the

cost of the third appraiser.

 

          Within twenty (20) days after the determination of the fair market

rental, Landlord shall prepare an amendment to this Lease reasonably reflecting

the extended term and rental rate for the extension period, and Tenant shall

execute and return same to Landlord within ten (10) days. Should the fair market

rental not be established by the commencement of the extension period, then

Tenant shall continue paying rent at the rate in effect during the last month of

the initial Term, and a lump sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the

determination of such new rental.

 

                                                                               7

<PAGE>

          If Tenant fails to timely comply with any of the provisions of this

Section (other than appointing an appraiser), Tenant's right to extend the Term

shall be extinguished and the Lease shall automatically terminate as of the

expiration date of the Term, without any extension and without any liability to

Landlord. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the sixty

(60) month extension created by this Section. Unless agreed to in a writing

signed by Landlord and Tenant, any extension of the Term, whether created by an

amendment to this Lease or by a holdover of the Premises by Tenant, or

otherwise, shall be deemed a part of, and not in addition to, any duly exercised

extension period permitted by this Section.

 

                     ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES

 

     SECTION 4.1. BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall

pay to Landlord without deduction or offset, Basic Rent for the Premises in the

total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if any) in Item 6 of the

Basic Lease Provisions. Any rental adjustment shown in Item 6 shall be deemed to

occur on the specified monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, whether or

not that date occurs at the end of a calendar month. The rent shall be due and

payable in advance commencing on the Commencement Date (as prorated for any

partial month) and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive

calendar month of the Term. No demand, notice or invoice shall be required for

the payment of Basic Rent. An installment of rent in the amount of one (1) full

month's Basic Rent at the initial rate specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease

Provisions shall be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's execution

of this Lease and shall be applied against the Basic Rent first due hereunder.

 

     SECTION 4.2. OPERATING EXPENSES.

 

          (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant's Share

of "Operating Expenses", as defined below, incurred by Landlord in the operation

of the Building and the Project. The term "Tenant's Share" means that portion of

an Operating Expense determined by multiplying the cost of such item by a

fraction, the numerator of which is the floor area of the Premises and the

denominator of which is the total square footage of the floor area within all

buildings in the Project to which such Operating Expenses relate, as of the date

on which the computation is made. The rentable square footage of the Project may

be adjusted from time to time in the event new buildings are constructed within

or incorporated within the Project. Tenant may elect to assume responsibility

for the operation and maintenance of any Building comprising a portion of the

Premises which is one hundred percent (100%) leased by Tenant in which event,

the Operating Expenses for such Building shall be paid directly and completely

by Tenant and such expenses shall not be included within Landlord's

determination of Operating Expenses.

 

          (b) Prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the start of each full

or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a

written estimate of the amount of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for the

Expense Recovery Period. Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in

equal monthly installments, in advance, with Basic Rent. If Landlord has not

furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set

forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay cost reimbursements at the rates

established for the prior Expense Recovery Period, if any; provided that when

the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly

payment date, pay any accrued cost reimbursements based upon the new estimate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is more than three (3) months late in

the delivery of its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period, Tenant

shall have the right to pay any accrued cost reimbursements in equal

installments over a six (6) month period rather than in one lump sum. For

purposes hereof, "Expense Recovery Period" shall mean every twelve month period

during the Term (or portion thereof for the first and last lease years)

commencing July 1 and ending June 30.

 

          (c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense

Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in

reasonable detail the actual or prorated Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord

during the period, and the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make

any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant's estimated payments, if

any, to the actual Tenant's Share as shown by the annual statement. Any delay or

failure by Landlord in delivering any statement hereunder shall not constitute a

waiver of Landlord's right to require Tenant to pay Tenant's Share of Operating

Expenses pursuant hereto. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against

installments next coming due under this Section 4.2, and any deficiency shall be

paid by Tenant together with the next installment. If Tenant has not made

estimated payments during the Expense Recovery Period, any amount owing by

Tenant pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord in accordance

with Article XVI. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord's

determination of actual Operating Expenses within one hundred twenty (120) days

following delivery of Landlord's expense statement, Landlord's determination of

actual Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be

conclusive and binding on the parties and any future claims to the contrary

shall be barred except to the extent that a future audit shall determine that a

particular category of expenses has been improperly included as Operating

Expenses.

 

               Landlord agrees that it will maintain complete and accurate

records of all costs, expenses and disbursements paid or incurred by Landlord,

its employees, agents and/or contractors, with respect to the Operating Expenses

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently

applied. Such records shall be kept until one (1) year after the termination of

this Lease. Landlord shall provide in reasonable detail the calculation of

Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses. Provided Tenant is not then in default

of any monetary covenant of this Lease (including, without limitation, the

obligation to pay Basic Rent and/or Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses), or

any material non-monetary covenant, following written notice and the expiration

of the applicable cure period, then Tenant shall have the right to have Tenant's

financial officer or a certified public accountant audit Landlord's Operating

 

                                                                                8

<PAGE>

Expenses, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. In no event, however,

shall such auditor be compensated by Tenant on a "contingency" basis, or on any

other basis tied to the results of said audit. Tenant shall give notice to

Landlord of Tenant's intent to audit within one hundred twenty (120) days

following delivery of Landlord's expense statement for each of the Expense

Recovery Periods. Following at least ten (10) business days notice to Landlord,

such audit shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during normal

business hours at the office of Landlord or its management agent where the

records are maintained in Orange County, California. Landlord agrees to make

such personnel available to Tenant as is reasonably necessary for Tenant's

employees and agents, to conduct such audit. Landlord shall make such records

available to Tenant's employees and agents, for inspection during normal

business hours. Tenant's employees and agents shall be entitled to make

photostatic copies of such records, provided Tenant bears the expense of such

copying, and further provided that Tenant keeps such copies in a confidential

manner and does not discuss, display or distribute such copies to any other

third party. If Tenant's audit determines that actual Operating Expenses have

been overstated by more than four percent (4%), then subject to Landlord's right

to review and/or contest the audit results, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for

the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such audit. Tenant's Basic Rent shall be

appropriately adjusted to reflect any overstatement in Operating Expenses. In

the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding the results of such

audit, such dispute shall be submitted to and resolved by JAMS as provided in

Section 22.7 of this Lease.

 

               All of the information obtained by Tenant and/or its auditor in

connection with such audit, as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment

reached between Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in strict

confidence and, except as may be required pursuant to litigation and except for

inadvertent disclosures despite Tenant's reasonable efforts to keep the

disclosed information confidential, shall not be disclosed to any third party,

directly or indirectly, by Tenant or its auditor or any of their officers,

agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant's auditor to execute a separate

confidentiality agreement affirming the foregoing as a condition precedent to

any audit.

 

          (d) Even though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated

the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of

Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which the Lease

terminates, Tenant shall upon notice pay the entire increase due over the

estimated expenses paid. Conversely, any overpayment made in the event expenses

decrease shall be rebated promptly by Landlord to Tenant.

 

          (e) If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or

more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess

of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated expenses for the

year, then the estimate of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses shall be

increased for the month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes effective and

for all succeeding months by an amount equal to Tenant's Share of the increase.

Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of

the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, Tenant's

Share thereof and the month for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the

increase to Landlord as a part of Tenant's monthly payments of estimated

expenses as provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which

effective.

 

          (f) The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean and include all "Project

Costs" (as hereafter defined) and "Property Taxes" (as hereafter defined).

 

          (g) The term "Project Costs" shall include all reasonable costs and

expenses of operation and maintenance of the Building and the Project, together

with all appurtenant Common Areas (as defined in Section 6.2), and shall include

the following charges by way of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer

charges; insurance premiums or reasonable premium equivalents for the reasonable

cost of administering a self-insurance program should Landlord elect to

self-insure any risk that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder as provided

in Section 10.2 below; license, permit, and inspection fees; heat; light; power;

air conditioning; janitorial services to any interior Common Areas; supplies;

materials; equipment; tools; the reasonable cost of any environmental,

insurance, tax or other consultant utilized by Landlord in connection with the

Premises and/or Project; establishment of reasonable reserves for replacements

and/or repair of the Building and Common Areas; the cost of any capital

investments, after application of previously established reserves for such

items, to the extent of the amortized cost thereof over the useful life of such

capital investment as reasonably determined by Landlord for each year of useful

life during the Term; subject to the express provisions of this Lease to the

contrary, costs incurred in connection with compliance of any laws or changes in

laws applicable to the Premises or the Project (except for laws or changes in

laws that pertain particularly to Tenant or to Tenant's particular use of the

Premises and/or only to the interior of the Premises which shall be the sole

responsibility of Tenant at its cost), to the extent such laws or change in laws

require expenditures of a "capital" nature (as determined by generally accepted

accounting principles consistently applied), then such "capital" expenditure

shall be amortized (using a market cost of funds as reasonably determined by

Landlord) over the useful life of such asset and only the amortized cost thereof

shall be included in Project Costs during the remaining Term of the Lease; costs

associated with the procurement and maintenance of an air conditioning, heating

and ventilation service agreement; labor; reasonably allocated wages and

salaries, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes for administrative and other

personnel directly applicable to the Premises and/or Project, including both

Landlord's personnel and outside personnel; any expense incurred pursuant to

Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.2, and 10.2; and a reasonable overhead/management fee

for the professional operation of the Project. Any such overhead management fee

charged to Tenant shall not be in excess of those being charged for other

comparable first-class office projects in the Irvine Spectrum area. It is

understood that Project Costs may include competitive charges for direct

services provided by any subsidiary or division of Landlord. Notwithstanding any

contrary provision herein, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have access to and

use of after-hours air conditioning services to the Premises. For any Building

not wholly leased to Tenant, Tenant shall pay an hourly charge based on the

reasonable cost incurred by Landlord to supply such services and in any Building

wholly leased to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the cost for such services directly as

contemplated by Section 6.1 hereof.

          (i) The term "Property Taxes" shall not include personal property

taxes of any kind, which shall instead be governed by the provisions of Article

VIII of this Lease.

 

          (j) If Tenant reasonably believes that the amount of any real property

tax is improper for any reason, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing of

Tenant's desire that such real property taxes be contested or challenged by

Landlord with the applicable taxing authority. Tenant shall indicate the basis

for Tenant's contention that such taxes are improper in Tenant's notice to

Landlord. Upon receipt of any such request from Tenant, Landlord shall promptly

meet with Tenant to discuss whether or not it is appropriate to initiate a

challenge or contest of such taxes or to take no action with respect thereto.

Landlord agrees that if Landlord is pursuing tax contests for other buildings

within the Project, Landlord will also pursue such a contest for the Building if

so requested by Tenant.

 

          (k) Any assessment of real property taxes shall be deemed imposed in

the maximum number of installments permitted by applicable laws, whether or not

actually paid; provided, however, that if the prevailing practice in other

comparable projects in the vicinity of the Project is to pay such assessments on

an earlier basis, and Landlord pays the same on such basis, such assessments

shall be included in real property taxes as paid by Landlord. In no event,

however, shall Landlord impute any accrued interest (resulting from such

installment payments of real property taxes) in its computation of real property

taxes except as imposed by the taxing authority.

 

     SECTION 4.3. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant's delivery of this

Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum, if any, stated in Item 9 of

the Basic Lease Provisions, to be held by Landlord as security for the full and

faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (the "Security

Deposit"). Subject to the last sentence of this Section, the Security Deposit

shall be understood and agreed to be the property of Landlord upon Landlord's

receipt thereof, and may be utilized by Landlord in its discretion towards the

payment of all prepaid expenses by Landlord for which Tenant would be required

to reimburse Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation, brokerage

commissions and Tenant Improvement costs. Upon any default by Tenant, including

specifically Tenant's failure to pay rent or to abide by its obligations under

Sections 7.1 and 15.3 below, whether or not Landlord is informed of or has

knowledge of the default, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be

automatically and immediately applied, without waiver of any rights Landlord may

have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a

setoff for full or partial compensation for that default. If any portion of the

Security Deposit is applied after a default by Tenant, Tenant shall within five

(5) days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an

amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.

Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its

general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security

Deposit. If Tenant fully performs its obligations under this Lease, the Security

Deposit shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last

assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease) after the expiration of the Term,

provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit to the extent and until

such time as all amounts due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease have been

determined and paid in full.

                                 ARTICLE V. USES

 

     SECTION 5.1. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the purposes

stated in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions, all in accordance with

applicable laws and restrictions and pursuant to approvals to be obtained by

Tenant from all relevant and required governmental agencies and authorities. The

parties agree that any contrary use shall be deemed to cause material and

irreparable harm to Landlord and shall entitle Landlord to injunctive relief in

addition to any other available remedy. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure,

maintain and make available for Landlord's inspection throughout the Term, all

governmental approvals, licenses and permits required for the proper and lawful

conduct of Tenant's permitted use of the Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit

anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way unreasonably

interfere with the rights of other occupants of the Building or the Project, or

use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant

permit any nuisance or commit any waste in the Premises or the Project. Tenant

shall not perform any work or conduct any business whatsoever in the Project

other than inside the Premises. Tenant shall not knowingly do or permit to be

done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance

policy(ies) covering the Building, the Project and/or their contents, and shall

comply with all applicable and reasonable insurance underwriters rules and the

requirements of the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau or any other organization

performing a similar function to the extent such rules and requirements are

provided to Tenant. Subject to the express provisions of this Lease to the

contrary, Tenant shall comply at its expense with all present laws, ordinances,

restrictions, regulations, orders, rules and requirements of all governmental

authorities that pertain particularly to Tenant or its particular use of the

Premises and/or pertain only to the interior of the Premises, including, without

limitation, all federal and state occupational health and safety requirements,

whether or not Tenant's compliance will necessitate expenditures or interfere

with its use and enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant shall comply at its expense

with all present covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions now affecting

or encumbering the Building and/or Project, and any future covenants,

conditions, easements or restrictions, and any amendments or modifications

thereto which do not materially derogate the rights of Tenant or materially

increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the

payment by Tenant of any periodic or special dues or assessments charged against

the Premises or Tenant which may be allocated to the Premises or Tenant in

accordance with the provisions thereof. Tenant shall promptly upon demand

reimburse Landlord for any additional insurance premium charged by reason of

Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section, and shall

indemnify Landlord from any liability and/or expense resulting from Tenant's

noncompliance.

 

     SECTION 5.2. SIGNS. Provided Tenant continues to lease the all of the

Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to all exterior signage on the

Building and on any other building entirely leased by Broadcom Corporation,

subject to Landlord's right of prior approval that such exterior signage is in

compliance with the Signage Criteria (defined below) and Landlord's designation

of the location for two (2) exterior identification signs. Except as provided in

the foregoing, or as otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, in its sole

discretion, Tenant shall have no right to maintain identification signs of any

location in, on or about the Premises or the Building which are visible from the

exterior thereof and shall not place or erect any signs, displays or other

advertising materials that are visible from the exterior of the Building. The

size, design, graphics, material, style, color and other physical aspects of any

permitted sign shall be subject to any covenants, conditions or restrictions

encumbering the Premises, Landlord's signage program, if any, as in effect at

the time ("Signage Criteria"), and any applicable municipal or other

governmental permits and approvals. Tenant acknowledges having received and

reviewed a copy of the current Signage Criteria, if applicable. Tenant shall be

responsible for the cost of any permitted signs, including the fabrication,

installation, maintenance and removal thereof. If Tenant fails to maintain its

signs, or if Tenant fails to remove same upon termination of this Lease and

repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant's

expense.

 

          Tenant's sign rights described in this Section and may be assigned in

connection with an assignment of this Lease or a sublease for the remainder of

the Term of a portion of the Premises which sublease or assignment is completed

in accordance with the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that the size,

design, graphics, material, style, color and other physical aspects of any sign

proposed to be used by such transferee shall be subject to Landlord's prior

approval that such signage is in compliance with the Signage Criteria and that

such signage will not materially devalue the Building or the Project as

determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, in the event Tenant proposes to sublease or assign all or any portion

of its interest in the Premises and Landlord elects to recapture such space

pursuant to its right to do so set forth in Section 9.1(c) of this Lease, then:

 

          (a) If the rentable floor area of the portion of the Premises to be

recaptured is seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the floor area of the

Premises, Tenant shall have the right to maintain one exterior (1) eyebrow sign

in a location designated by Landlord;

 

          (b) If the rentable floor area of the portion of the Premises to be

recaptured is fifty percent (50%) or more of the floor area of the Premises but

less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the floor area of the Premises, Tenant

shall have the right to retain one (1) Building top sign in a location of its

choice. Tenant shall relinquish all other exterior sign rights to the Building;

and

 

          (c) If the rentable floor area of the portion of the Premises to be

recaptured is less than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of the Premises,

Tenant shall be entitled to retain two (2) building top signs and Landlord shall

have the right to any and all exterior signage at the eyebrow level of the

Building.

 

     SECTION 5.3. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

 

                                                                              12

<PAGE>

          (a) For purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous Materials"

includes (i) any "hazardous materials" as defined in Section 25501(o) of the

California Health and Safety Code, (ii) any other substance or matter which

results in liability to any person or entity from exposure to such substance or

matter under any statutory or common law theory, and (iii) any substance or

matter which is in excess of permitted levels set forth in any federal,

California or local law or regulation pertaining to any hazardous or toxic

substance, material or waste.

 

          (b) Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit any Hazardous Materials

to be brought upon, stored, used, generated, released or disposed of on, under,

from or about the Premises (including, without limitation, the soil and

groundwater thereunder) without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining

prior written consent of Landlord, to utilize within the Premises standard

office products that may contain Hazardous Materials (such as photocopy toner,

"White Out", and the like), provided however, that (i) Tenant shall maintain

such products in their original retail packaging, shall follow all instructions

on such packaging with respect to the storage, use and disposal of such

products, and shall otherwise comply with all applicable laws with respect to

such products, and (ii) all of the other terms and provisions of this Section

5.3 shall apply with respect to Tenant's storage, use and disposal of all such

products. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, place such conditions as

Landlord deems appropriate with respect to any such Hazardous Materials, and may

further require that Tenant demonstrate that any such Hazardous Materials are

necessary or useful to Tenant's business and will be generated, stored, used and

disposed of in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and regulations

pertaining thereto and with good business practices. Tenant understands that

Landlord may utilize an environmental consultant to assist in determining

conditions of approval in connection with the storage, generation, release,

disposal or use of Hazardous Materials by Tenant on or about the Premises,

and/or to conduct periodic inspections of the storage, generation, use, release

and/or disposal of such Hazardous Materials by Tenant on and from the Premises,

and Tenant agrees that any costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection

therewith shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder

upon demand; however, Tenant shall have no obligation to reimburse Landlord for

any costs incurred in connection with any environmental consultant retained by

Landlord pursuant to this Section unless Tenant shall be in default under this

Section 5.3 and such costs are covered by Tenant's indemnity contained in this

Section 5.3.

 

          (c) Prior to the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall complete,

execute and deliver to Landlord an Environmental Questionnaire and Disclosure

Statement (the "Environmental Questionnaire") in the form of EXHIBIT B attached

hereto. The completed Environmental Questionnaire shall be deemed incorporated

into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely fully

on the information contained therein. On each anniversary of the Commencement

Date until the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall

disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous

Materials, if any, which were stored, generated, used, released and/or disposed

of on, under or about the Premises for the twelve-month period prior thereto,

and which Tenant desires to store, generate, use, release and/or dispose of on,

under or about the Premises for the succeeding twelve-month period. In addition,

to the extent Tenant is permitted to utilize Hazardous Materials upon the

Premises, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with complete and legible

copies of all the following environmental documents relating thereto: reports

filed pursuant to any self-reporting requirements; permit applications, permits,

monitoring reports, workplace exposure and community exposure warnings or

notices and all other reports, disclosures, plans or documents (even those which

may be characterized as confidential) relating to water discharges, air

pollution, waste generation or disposal, and underground storage tanks for

Hazardous Materials; orders, reports, notices, listings and correspondence (even

those which may be considered confidential) of or concerning the release,

investigation of, compliance, cleanup, remedial and corrective actions, and

abatement of Hazardous Materials; and all complaints, pleadings and other legal

documents filed by or against Tenant related to Tenant's use, handling, storage,

release and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials.

 

          (d) Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the

obligation, to inspect, sample and/or monitor the Premises and/or the soil or

groundwater thereunder at any time to determine whether Tenant is complying with

the terms of this Section 5.3, and in connection therewith Tenant shall provide

Landlord with full access to all relevant facilities, records and personnel. If

Tenant is not in compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 5.3, or

in the event of a release of any Hazardous Material on, under or about the

Premises caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,

licensees or invitees, Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the

obligation, without limitation upon any of Landlord's other rights and remedies

under this Lease, to immediately enter upon the Premises without notice and to

discharge Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.3 at Tenant's expense,

including, without limitation, the taking of emergency or long-term remedial

action. Landlord and its agents shall endeavor to minimize interference with

Tenant's business in connection therewith, but shall not be liable for any such

interference. In addition, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall have the right,

but not the obligation, to join and participate in any legal proceedings or

actions initiated in connection with any claims arising out of the storage,

generation, use, release and/or disposal by Tenant or its agents, employees,

contractors, licensees or invitees of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or

about the Premises.

 

          (e) If the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or

about the Premises or the Project caused or permitted by Tenant or its agents,

employees, contractors, licensees or invitees results in (i) injury to any

person, (ii) injury to or any contamination of the Premises or the Project, or

(iii) injury to or contamination of any real or personal property wherever

situated, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all actions necessary to

return the Premises and the Project and any other affected real or personal

property owned by Landlord to the condition existing prior to the introduction

of such Hazardous Materials and to remedy or repair any such injury or

contamination, including, without limitation, any cleanup, remediation, removal,

disposal, neutralization or other treatment of any such

 

                                                                              13

<PAGE>

Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not, without

Landlord's prior written consent, take any remedial action in response to the

presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or the

Project or any other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord or

enter into any similar agreement, consent, decree or other compromise with any

governmental agency with respect to any Hazardous Materials claims; provided

however, Landlord's prior written consent shall not be necessary in the event

that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or the

Project or any other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord (i)

imposes an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual

or (ii) is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and

it is not possible to obtain Landlord's consent before taking such action. To

the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless,

protect and defend (with attorneys acceptable to Landlord) Landlord and any

successors to all or any portion of Landlord's interest in the Premises and the

Project and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord from and

against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, diminution in value,

judgments, fines, demands, claims, recoveries, deficiencies, costs and expenses

(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and other

professional expenses), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising directly

or indirectly out of the use, generation, storage, treatment, release, on- or

off-site disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, into, from, under

or about the Premises, the Building and the Project and any other real or

personal property owned by Landlord caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents,

employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, specifically including, without

limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, restoration, cleanup

or detoxification of the Premises, the Building and the Project and any other

real or personal property owned by Landlord, and the preparation of any closure

or other required plans, whether or not such action is required or necessary

during the Term or after the expiration of this Lease. If Landlord at any time

discovers that Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or

invitees have caused or knowingly permitted the release of a Hazardous Material

on, under, from or about the Premises or the Project or any other real or

personal property owned by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request,

immediately prepare and submit to Landlord a comprehensive plan, subject to

Landlord's reasonable approval, specifying the actions to be taken by Tenant to

return the Premises or the Project or any other real or personal property owned

by Landlord to the condition required under all applicable environmental laws.

Upon Landlord's approval of such cleanup plan, Tenant shall, at its expense, and

without limitation of any rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or at

law or in equity, immediately implement such plan and proceed to cleanup such

Hazardous Materials in accordance with all applicable laws and as required by

such plan and this Lease. The provisions of this subsection (e) shall expressly

survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

          (f) If the release of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about

the Premises or the Project caused by Landlord, its authorized agents or

employees, and not introduced by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,

licensees, or invitees results in (i) injury to any person, or (ii) injury to or

any contamination of the Premises or the Project at levels which require

clean-up or remediation under applicable laws, Landlord, at its expense (which

shall not be included in Operating Expenses), shall promptly take all actions

necessary to return the Premises and the Project to the condition existing prior

to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials, or to such condition as is

satisfactory to all governmental agencies asserting jurisdiction, and to remedy

or repair any such injury or contamination, including, without limitation, any

clean-up, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of

any such Hazardous Materials.

 

          (g) If the release of Hazardous Materials caused by Landlord, its

authorized agents or employees, renders the Premises untenantable in whole or in

part or results in Tenant being required to vacate the Premises in whole or in

part pursuant to an order or requirement of any governmental agency or

authority, then the Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, and

other charges, if any, payable by Tenant hereunder for the period during which

the Premises (or a portion thereof) remain so impaired shall be abated in

proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired and

for the period of such impairment. If the period of such impairment shall exceed

seven (7) months, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon

written notice to Landlord given within ten (10) days following the passage of

such seven (7) month period. Tenant's termination of the Lease pursuant to this

Paragraph shall be effective as of the date of such notice.

 

          (h) Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby

acknowledges, certain facts relating to Hazardous Materials at the Project known

by Landlord to exist as of the date of this Lease, as more particularly

described in EXHIBIT C attached hereto. Tenant shall have no liability or

responsibility with respect to the Hazardous Materials facts described in

EXHIBIT C, nor with respect to any Hazardous Materials which were not caused or

knowingly permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or

invitees. Landlord shall take responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, for

any governmentally-ordered clean-up, remediation, removal, disposal,

neutralization or other treatment of Hazardous Materials conditions described in

this Section 5.3(h). The foregoing obligation on the part of Landlord shall

include the reasonable costs (including, without limitation, reasonable

attorney's fees) of defending Tenant (with attorneys reasonably acceptable to

Tenant) from and against any legal action or proceeding instituted by any

governmental agency in connection with such clean-up, remediation, removal,

disposal, neutralization or other treatment of such conditions, provided that

Tenant promptly tenders such defense to Landlord. Tenant agrees to notify its

agents, employees, contractors, licensees, and invitees of any exposure or

potential exposure to Hazardous Materials at the Premises that Landlord brings

to Tenant's attention.

 

          (i) The obligations on the part of Landlord contained in Sections

5.3(f) and 5.3(h) above are personal to Landlord and shall not be binding on,

nor inure against any successor in interest to Landlord as of the owner of the

Premises, including, without limitation, any lender acquiring the Premises by

foreclosure of its mortgage or deed of trust or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

 

                                                                               14

<PAGE>

          (j) Except as disclosed in Section 5.3(h) above (and/or as may

otherwise be disclosed to Tenant in writing), Landlord represents that, to the

best of its actual knowledge without duty of inquiry or investigation

whatsoever, there are no Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises which are

in violation of any applicable federal, state or local law, ordinance or

regulation.
