(36) months, commencing on April I, 1999 ("Commencement Date") and ending on
March 31, 2002, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof;
provided, however, that Sublessee shall have the right, on or after March 1,
1999, at its sole risk, cost and expense, to enter upon and install data
equipment and trade improvements in the Premises, and to store inventory, and
the same will not cause Base Rent to commence, provided that (a) Sublessee shall

this Sublease having been secured, (b) Sublessee shall pay all utility charges
and other costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor with respect to such early

all costs attributable to such early occupancy, and (d) all other terms and

Security Deposit) of Sublessee to Sublessor under the terms of this Sublease are
deemed to be rent ("Rent"). Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United

7. MASTER LEASE.

-3-
<PAGE> 4
7.2 This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and
subordinate to the Master Lease.
7.3 The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublessor
and Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and
conditions of the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master Lease
which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of
this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the purposes
of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Landlord" is used it
shall be deemed to mean the Sublessor herein; wherever in the Master Lease the
word "Tenant" is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessee herein; and
wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lease" is used it shall be deemed to mean
this Sublease.
7.4 During the Term and for all periods subsequent thereto with
respect to obligations that have arisen prior to the termination of this
Sublease, Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and comply
with, for the benefit of Sublessor and Master Lessor, each and every obligation
of Sublessor under the Master Lease with respect to the Premises except as
otherwise provided herein and except as provided in Paragraph 18 hereof.
7.5 The obligations that Sublessee has assumed and agreed to
perform under Paragraph 7.4 hereof are hereinafter referred to as the
"Sublessee's Assumed Obligations". The obligations that Sublessee has not
assumed or agreed to perform under Paragraph 7.4 hereof are hereinafter referred
to as the "Sublessor's Remaining Obligations".
7.6 Sublessor hereby agrees for Sublessee's benefit to exercise
Sublessor's diligent good faith efforts to require Master Lessor to perform
Master Lessor's obligations pursuant to the Master Lease.
7.7 Sublessor agrees to maintain the Master Lease during the
Term, subject, however, to any earlier termination of the Master Lease without
the fault of Sublessor, and to comply with or perform Sublessor's Remaining
Obligations and to hold Sublessee free and harmless from all liability,
judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands arising out of Sublessor's failure
to comply with or perform Sublessor's Remaining Obligations or its obligations
under the Sublease. Unless Master Lessor has required Sublessee to attorn to
Master Lessor as provided in Section 9.4(f), Sublessor further agrees not to
terminate the Master Lease voluntarily during the Term.
7.8 Sublessor represents to Sublessee that the Master Lease is in
full force and effect and that no default exists on the part of any party to the
Master Lease.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASE AND DEFAULT.
8.1 Sublessor hereby assigns and transfers to Master Lessor
Sublessor's interest in this Sublease, subject however to the provisions of
Paragraph 8.2 hereof.
-4-
<PAGE> 5
8.2 Master Lessor, by executing this document, agrees that until
a "Default" (as defined in the Master Lease) shall occur in the performance of
Sublessor's Obligations under the Master Lease, that Sublessor may receive,
collect and enjoy the Rent accruing under this Sublease. However, if Sublessor
shall default in the performance of its obligations to Master Lessor then Master
Lessor may, at its option, receive and collect, directly from Sublessee, all
Rent owing and to be owed under this Sublease. Master Lessor shall not, by
reason of this assignment of the Sublease nor by reason of the collection of the
Rent from the Sublessee, be deemed liable to Sublessee for any failure of
Sublessor to perform and comply with Sublessor's Remaining Obligations.
8.3 Sublessor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
Sublessee, upon receipt of any written notice from Master Lessor stating that a
Default exists in the performance of Sublessors obligations under the Master
Lease, and such obligations are not Sublessee's Assumed Obligations (in which
event Sublessee shall promptly commence the cure of any such Default), to pay to
Master Lessor the Rent due and to become due under the Sublease. Sublessor
agrees that Sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and
request from Master Lessor, and that Sublessee shall pay such Rent to Master
Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Default
exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Sublessor to the
contrary and Sublessor shall have no right or claim against Sublessee for any
such Rent so paid by Sublessee.
8.4 No changes or modifications shall be made to this Sublease
without the consent of Master Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
9. CONSENT OF MASTER LESSOR.
9.1 If the Master Lease requires that Sublessor obtain the
consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor, then this Sublease
shall not be effective unless, within thirty (30) days of full execution of this
Sublease, Master Lessor signs this Sublease, thereby giving its consent to this
Subletting.
9.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Sublease, if Master Lessor's consent is not obtained within thirty (30) days
after the date of full execution of the Sublease, Sublessor or Sublessee shall
have the right to terminate the Sublease, and Sublessor promptly shall return to
Sublessee all sums paid by Sublessee to Sublessor in connection with its
execution of the Sublease.
9.3 If the obligations of Sublessor under the Master Lease have
been guaranteed by third parties, then neither this Sublease nor the Master
Lessor's consent shall be effective unless, within ten (10) days of the date
hereof, said guarantors sign this Sublease, thereby giving their consent to this
Sublease.
9.4 If Master Lessor does give such consent, then:
-5-
<PAGE> 6
(a) Such consent shall not release Sublessor or its
obligations or alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and
perform and comply with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed
under the Master Lease.
(b) The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee
or anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by
Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease.
(c) The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment.
(d) In the event of any Default of Sublessor under the
Master Lease, Master Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any
guarantors or anyone else liable under the Master Lease or this Sublease without
first exhausting Master Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity
liable thereon to Master Lessor.
(e) Master Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings
and assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or
modifications thereto without notifying Sublessor or anyone else liable under
the Master Lease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not
relieve such persons from liability.
(f) If Sublessor shall default in its obligations under
the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without being obligated
to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to Master Lessor, in which event
Master Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Sublessor under this Sublease
from the time of the exercise of said option to termination of this Sublease but
in no event shall Master Lessor be liable for any prepaid Rent or any Security
Deposit paid by Sublessee unless such amounts shall have been transferred by
Sublessor to Master Lessor, nor shall Master Lessor be liable for any other
Defaults of the Sublessor under the Sublease.
9.5 The signatures at the end of this document of Master Lessor
and any Guarantors of Sublessor shall constitute their consent to the terms of
this Sublease.
9.6 Master Lessor acknowledges that, to the best of Master
Lessor's knowledge, no Default of obligations to be performed by Sublessor or by
Master Lessor presently exists under the Master Lease and that the Master Lease
is in full force and effect.
9.7 If Sublessor defaults under its obligations to be performed
under the Master Lease, Master Lessor agrees to deliver to Sublessee a copy of
any such notice of default. Sublessee shall have the right, within ten (10) days
after service of such notice of default on Sublessee, to cure any Default of
Sublessor described in any such notice of default. If such Default is cured by
Sublessee, then Sublessee shall have the right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Sublessor.

Premises comprise less than the entirety of the real property leased to
Sublessor pursuant to the Master Lease. That portion of such real property not
leased to Sublessee herein is referred to as the "Tiled Warehouse." Sublessee
has been advised that the Tiled Warehouse and the Premises share common utility
service, and Sublessee hereby agrees not to take any action during the Term that
results in or is likely to result in any interruption in utility service to the
Tiled Warehouse.
16. INDEMNIFICATION.
16.1 SUBLEASE'S INDEMNIFICATION. Except to the extent caused
solely by Sublessor's active negligence or willful misconduct, Sublessee shall
indemnify, protect, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublessor and
hold harmless Sublessor from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
judgments, causes of action, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' and experts' fees), caused by or arising in connection with: (i) the
use, occupancy or condition of the Premises; (ii) the negligence or willful
misconduct of Sublessee or its employees, contractors, agents, or invitees;
(iii) a breach of Sublessee's obligations under this Sublease; (iv) a breach of
Sublessee's obligations under the Master Lease; or (v) any Hazardous Material
(as defined in Section 32(a) of the Master Lease) used, stored, released,
disposed of, generated or transported by Sublessee, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees in, on or about the Premises or the Building.
16.2 SUBLESSOR'S INDEMNIFICATION. Except to the extent caused
solely by Sublessee's active negligence or willful misconduct, Sublessor shall
indemnify, protect, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublessee and
hold harmless Sublessee from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
judgments, causes of action, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' and experts' fees), caused solely by or arising solely in connection
with any termination of the Sublease as a result of a voluntary act or a default
by Sublessor under the Sublease or the Master Lease; provided, however that

of (a) Sublessee's out-of-pocket moving costs to new space in the Bay Area and
associated rewiring costs, in an amount not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000.00) and (b) Sublessee's out-of-pocket rent increases an amount equal to
the differential between one year's rent for the Premises (in the lease year of

16.3 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION. The foregoing indemnification
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
17. DELAY IN DELIVERY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this SUBLEASE, if Sublessor has not delivered possession of the
Premises to Sublessee by May 1, 1999 for any reason other than an act or
omission of Sublessee, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this
Sublease, and Sublessor promptly shall return to Sublessee all sums paid by
Sublessee to Sublessor in connection with its execution of the Sublease.

<PAGE> 9
18. MASTER LEASE PROVISIONS EXCEEDED. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Sublease, the following provisions of the Master
Lease hereby are expressly excluded from the Sublease; Basic Lease Information
(except for "Premises Address", "Project", "Building", and "Permitted Use",
which are hereby incorporated in this Sublease); Sections 2, 3, 4(a), 7, the
first sentence of Section 8(a), and Sections 9 and 38; Exhibits A, B, C and G;
and Addendum 1. With respect to Section 15(a), references to "Landlord" shall
mean only Master Lessor. With respect to Sections 22(a)(3), 22(f)(A) and 23,
Sublessor shall not exercise the termination rights set forth therein without
obtaining the prior written consent of Sublessee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
19. SURRENDER OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Sublease, in no event shall Sublessee's obligation to
surrender the Premises require Sublessee to repair or restore the Premises to a
condition better than the condition in which the Premises existed as of the
Commencement Date. Additionally, Sublessee shall not be required to remove, at
the expiration of the Term or otherwise, alterations or improvements in the
Premises made by or for the account of Sublessor or any predecessor to Sublessor
prior to the Commencement Date.
20. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Sublessor shall request Master Lessor to
obtain a subrogation waiver from Master Lessor's insurer for the benefit of
Sublessee; provided, however, that Sublessor shall have no liability to
Sublessee if such subrogation waiver is not obtained from Master Lessor's
insurer.
21. AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION. Any modification or amendment of the
Master Lease by Sublessor and Master Lessor shall be subject to Sublessee's
right of quiet enjoyment, as provided in Paragraph 22 of this Sublease.
22. QUIET ENJOYMENT, RIGHT TO CURE. So long as Sublessee is not in
default of this Sublease and provided further that Sublessee pays all Base Rent
and Additional Rent and performs all of Sublessee's covenants and agreements
contained herein, Sublessee shall peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease. If, however, Sublessor
defaults in the performance or observance of any of Sublessor's Remaining
Obligations or fails to perform Sublessor's stated obligations under this
Sublease to enforce, for Sublessee's benefit, Master Lessor's obligations under
the Master Lease, then Sublessee shall give Sublessor notice specifying in what
manner Sublessor has defaulted, and if such default shall not be cured by
Sublessor within thirty (30) days thereafter (except that if such default cannot
be cured within said thirty (30)-day period, this period shall be extended for
an additional reasonable time, provided that Sublessor commences to cure such
default within such thirty (30)-day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to
effect such cure as quickly as possible), then, in addition, Sublessee shall be
entitled, at Sublessee's option, to cure such default and promptly collect from
Sublessor Sublessee's reasonable expenses in so doing (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs). Sublessee shall not be
required, however, to wait the entire cure period described herein if earlier
action is required to comply with the Master Lease or with any applicable
governmental law, regulation or order. Sublessor
-9-
<PAGE> 10
shall promptly provide to Sublessee copies of all notices, including notices of
default, received by Sublessor from Master Lessor.
23. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Sublease, except to the extent that the Hazardous Material in
question was released, emitted, used, stored, manufactured, transported or
discharged by Sublessee, or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees,
Sublessee shall not be responsible for and hereby is released from any and all
losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages, claims, suits,
actions and causes of action with respect to any Hazardous Material present on
or about the Premises, the Building or the surrounding property, or the soil,
groundwater or surface water thereof, that was released, emitted, used, stored,
manufactured, transported or discharged by Sublessor, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees. In addition, to the extent that Master Lessor
indemnifies Sublessor for the cost of remediation or cleanup work required by
any governmental agency to be performed on the Premises as a result of any
Hazardous Materials existing on the Premises on the commencement date of the
Master Lease, Sublessee shall be so indemnified by Sublessor.
24. BINDING EFFECT. This Sublease will be binding on and will inure to
the benefit of the Sublessor and Sublessee, their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors-in-interest and assigns.
25. AMENDMENT. This Sublease may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing approved by Sublessor, Sublessee and Master Landlord and
signed on their behalf.
26. HEADINGS. The headings in this Sublease are for purposes of
reference only and will not limit or define the meaning of any provision of this
Sublease.
27. SUBLESSOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY. Sublessor reserves the right to enter
the Premises on reasonable notice and at reasonable times to Sublessee to
inspect the Premises or the performance by Sublessee of the terms and conditions
of this Sublease. In an emergency, no prior notice will be required for
Sublessor's entry.
28. LATE PAYMENT. The late payment of any rent will cause Sublessor to
incur additional costs, including the cost to maintain in full force the Master
Lease, administration and collection costs, and processing and accounting
expenses. If Sublessor has not received any installment of Base Rent or
Additional Rent within five (5) days alter receipt of written notice from
Sublessor that said amount is due, Sublessee will pay five percent (5%) of the
delinquent amount, which the parties agree represents a reasonable estimate of
the cost incurred by Sublessor. In addition, all delinquent amounts will bear
interest from the date the amount was due until paid in full at a rate per annum
("Applicable Interest Rate") equal to the greater of (a) five percent (5%) per
annum plus the then federal discount rate on advances to member banks in effect
at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on the 25th day of the month
preceding the date of the Sublease or (b) ten percent (10%). However, in no
event will the Applicable Interest Rate exceed the maximum interest rate
permitted by law that may be charged under these circumstances. Sublessor and
Sublessee recognize that the damage Sublessor will suffer in the
-10-
<PAGE> 11
event of Sublessee's failure to pay this amount is difficult to ascertain and
that the late charge and interest are the best estimate of the damage that
Sublessor will suffer. If a late charge becomes payable for any three (3)
installments or Rent within any twelve (12) month period, the Base Rent will
automatically become payable quarterly in advance.
29. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Sublease and the Exhibits hereto sets forth
all the agreements between Sublessor and Sublessee concerning the Premises, and
there are no other agreements either oral or written other than as set forth in
this Sublease and, to the extent incorporated herein, the Master Lease.
30. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Sublease.
31. INTERPRETATION. This Sublease has been fully negotiated at
arms-length between the parties and after advice by counsel and other
representatives chosen by the parties, and the parties are fully informed with
respect thereto. No party shall be deemed the scrivener of this Sublease and the
provisions of this Sublease and the Exhibits hereto shall be construed as a
whole according to their common meaning and not strictly for or against any
party.
NOW, THEREFORE, Sublessor and Sublessee have executed this Sublease as
of the date and year first hereinabove written.

parking and other common areas on the real property on which the Building is
situated (the "Property"). No easement for light or air is incorporated in the
Premises.
The Premises demised by this Lease shall also include the Tenant Improvements
(as that term is defined in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein
by this reference) to be constructed by Landlord within the interior of the
Premises. Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements on the terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit B. Landlord and Tenant agree to and shall be
bound by the terms and conditions of Exhibit B.
3. TERM
The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall be for the period of months specified
in the Basic Lease Information, commencing on the earliest to occur of the
following dates (the "Commencement Date"):
(a) The date the Tenant Improvements are approved by the appropriate
governmental agency as being in accordance with its building code and the
building permit issued for such improvements, as evidenced by the issuance
of a final building inspection approval; or
(b) The date Landlord's architect and general contractor have both
certified in writing to Tenant that the Tenant Improvements have been
substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor, or
(c) The date Tenant commences occupancy of the Premises;
when the Commencement Date has been determined pursuant to the foregoing,
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
4. RENT
(a) BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance on the first day
of each month, without further notice or demand and without offset or
deduction, the monthly installments of rent specified in the Basic Lease
Information (the "Base Rent").
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Prepaid
Rent specified in the Basic Lease Information to be applied toward Base
Rent for the month of the Term specified in the Basic Lease Information.
<PAGE> 18
(b) ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Tenant's proportionate share
(which is hereby agreed to be Tenant's Proportionate Share as specified in
the Basic Lease Information) of the following items related to the
Building, the Property, and/or the Outside Areas (as defined in Paragraph
4(b)(3)) (the "Additional Rent"):
(1) TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. All real estate taxes and assessments
shall include any form of assessment, license, fee, tax, levy, penalty
(if a result of Tenant's delinquency), or tax (other than net income,
estate, succession, inheritance, transfer or Real estate taxes and
franchise taxes), imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect
power to tax, or by any city, county, state or federal government or any
improvement or other district or division thereof, whether such tax is
(i) determined by the area of the Premises, the Building or the
Property, or any part thereof, or the Rent and other sums payable
hereunder by Tenant or by other tenants, including, but not limited to,
any gross income or excise tax levied by any of the foregoing
authorities with respect to receipt of Rent or other sums due under this
Lease; (ii) upon any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the
Premises, the Building or the Property, or any part thereof; (iii) upon
this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or
transferring any interest in the Premises, the Building or the Property;
(iv) levied or assessed in lieu of, in substitution for, or in addition
to, existing or additional taxes against the Premises, the Building or
the Property, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation
of the parties; or (v) surcharged against the parking area. Tenant and
Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of
the State of California in the June, 1978 election and that assessments,
taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies
for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk, road, utility
construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental
services which may formerly have been provided without charge to
property owners or occupants. It is the intention of the parties that
all new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges due
to Proposition 13 or any other cause are to be included within the
definition of real property taxes for purposes of this Lease.
(2) INSURANCE. All insurance premiums, including premiums for "all
risk," fire and extended coverage (including earthquake endorsements)
insurance for the Building, public liability insurance, other insurance
as Landlord reasonably deems necessary, and any deductibles paid under
policies of any such insurance.
(3) OUTSIDE AREAS EXPENSES. All reasonable costs to maintain,
repair, replace, supervise, insure (including provision of public
liability insurance) and administer the areas outside of the Building
("Outside Areas"), including parking areas, landscaping (including
maintenance contracts), sprinkler systems, sidewalks, driveways, curbs,
lighting systems, and utilities for Outside Areas.
(4) PARKING CHARGES. Any parking charges or other costs levied,
assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from
statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any
governmental authority or insurer (not affiliated with Landlord) in
connection with the use or occupancy of the Building, the Outside Areas
and/or the Property.
(5) MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF BUILDING. All reasonable costs to
maintain, repair, and replace, the roof coverings, the floor slab, and
the painting of the exterior walls of the Building, the heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning ("HVAC") systems serving the Building
and/or the Premises (including the cost of maintenance contracts), and
all reasonable costs to maintain, repair and replace all utility and
plumbing systems, fixtures and equipment located outside the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost
of replacement of capital expenditures described in this subparagraph
4(b)(5) only on a pro rata basis corresponding to the portion of the
useful life of the capital expenditure that will be exhausted during the
remainder of the Term.
(6) MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION. All reasonable costs for
management and administration of the Building and the Property,
including a property management fee, accounting, auditing, billing,
postage, employee benefits, payroll taxes, etc.

<PAGE> 19
(c) PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT.
(1) Upon commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall submit to
Tenant an estimate of monthly Additional Rent for the period between the
Commencement Date and the following December 31 and Tenant shall pay
such estimated Additional Rent on a monthly basis concurrently with the
payment of the Base Rent. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly
payments until notified by Landlord of a change therein. By March 1 of
each calendar year, Landlord shall endeavor to provide to Tenant a
statement showing the actual Additional Rent due to Landlord for the
prior calendar year, prorated from the Commencement Date during the
first year. If the total of the monthly payments of Additional Rent that
Tenant has made for the prior calendar year (or portion thereof during
which this Lease was in effect) is less than the actual Additional Rent
chargeable to Tenant for such prior calendar year, then Tenant shall pay
the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) business days after receipt
of such statement from Landlord. Any overpayment by Tenant of Additional
Rent for the prior calendar year shall be credited towards the
Additional Rent next due.
(2) The actual Additional Rent for the prior calendar year shall be
used for purposes of calculating Tenant's monthly payment of estimated
Additional Rent for the current year, subject to adjustment as provided
above, except that in any year in which resurfacing of the parking area
or material roof repairs are planned, Landlord may include the estimated
cost of such work in the estimated monthly Additional Rent. Landlord
shall make the final determination of Additional Rent for the year in
which this Lease terminates as soon as possible after termination of
such year. Tenant shall remain liable for payment of any amount due to
Landlord in excess of the estimated Additional Rent previously paid by
Tenant, and, conversely, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any
overpayment, even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
Premises. Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for herein
shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's obligation to pay Additional
Rent as herein provided.
(d) GENERAL PAYMENT TERMS. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other
sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are referred to as the "Rent".
All Rent shall be paid without deduction, offset or abatement in lawful
money of the United States of America. Checks are to be made payable to
AEtna Property Services and shall be mailed to: AEtna Property Services,
Kodak Center, 1740 Technology Drive, #600, San Jose, California 95110, or
to such other person or place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate
to Tenant in writing. Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be
prorated for the portion thereof falling due within the Term.
5. LATE CHARGE
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges
that late payment to Landlord of Rent, or other amounts due hereunder will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of
which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. If any Rent or other sums due
from Tenant are not received by Landlord or by Landlord's designated agent
within ten (10) days after their due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount, plus any
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to
pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. Landlord and Tenant hereby
agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the
cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant's late payment. Landlord's
acceptance of such late charges shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount or estop Landlord from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies granted under this Lease.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrently with Tenant's execution of the Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information as
security for the full and faithful performance of each and every term, covenant
and condition of this Lease. Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any
part of the Security Deposit as may be reasonably necessary (a) to remedy
Tenant's default in the payment of any Rent, (b) to repair damage to the
Premises caused by Tenant, (c) to clean the Premises upon termination of this
Lease, (d) to reimburse Landlord for the payment of any amount which Landlord
may reasonably spend or be required to spend by reason of Tenant's default, or
(e) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may
suffer by
-3-
<PAGE> 20
reason of Tenant's default. Should Tenant faithfully and fully comply with all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, within twenty (20) days
following the expiration of the Term, the Security Deposit or any balance
thereof shall be returned to Tenant or, at the option of Landlord, to the last
assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to
keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not
be entitled to any interest on such deposit. If Landlord so uses or applies all
or any portion of said deposit, within five (5) days after written demand
therefor Tenant shall deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to
restore the Security Deposit to the full extent of the above amount, and
Tenant's failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease. In the event
Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the then
remaining amount of the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest,
and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect
to such Security Deposit.
7. POSSESSION
(a) TENANT'S RIGHT OF POSSESSION. Subject to Paragraph 7(b), Tenant
shall be entitled to possession of the Premises upon commencement of the
Term.
(b) DELAY IN DELIVERING POSSESSION. If for any reason whatsoever,
Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant at the
commencement of the Term, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor
shall Landlord, or Landlord's agents, be liable to Tenant for any loss or
damage resulting therefrom. Tenant shall not be liable for Rent until
Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. The expiration date
of the Term shall be extended by the same number of days that Tenant's
possession of the Premises was delayed.
8. USE OF PREMISES
(a) PERMITTED USES. The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Uses
specified in the Basic Lease Information and no other. The Premises shall
not be used to create any nuisance or trespass, for any illegal purpose,
for any purpose not permitted by applicable laws and regulations, or for
any purpose that would vitiate the insurance or increase the premiums for
insurance on the Premises or the Building. Tenant agrees not to overload
the floor(s) of the Building.
(b) COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Tenant shall, at Tenant's
expense, faithfully observe and comply with all Municipal, State and
Federal statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, requirements. and orders,
now in force or which may hereafter be in force pertaining to the Premises
or Tenant's use thereof, including without limitation, any statutes, rules,
regulations, ordinances, requirements, or orders requiring, as a result of
Tenant's use of the Premises, installation of fire sprinkler systems,
seismic reinforcement and related alterations, whether substantial in cost
or otherwise, and all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions
affecting the Property ("Private Restrictions") now in force or which may
hereafter be in force; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required
to make structural changes to the Premises or Building not related to
Tenant's specific use of the Premises unless the requirement for such
changes is imposed as a result of any improvements or additions made or
proposed to be made at Tenant's request. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or
proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that
Tenant has violated any such rule, regulation, ordinance, statute or
Private Restrictions, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord
and Tenant.
9. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES
By entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as suitable for Tenant's
intended use and as being in good and sanitary operating order, condition and
repair, AS IS, and without representation or warranty by Landlord as to the
condition, use or occupancy which may he made thereof. Any exceptions to the
foregoing must be by written agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant.
10. SURRENDER
Tenant agrees that on the last day of the Term, or on the sooner termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in good
condition and repair (damage by Acts of God, fire, and normal wear and tear
excepted), but with all interior walls cleaned so they appear painted, any
carpets cleaned, and with all floors cleaned, together with all alterations,
additions and improvements which may have been made in or on the Premises;
except that Tenant shall remove trade fixtures put in at the expense of Tenant
and any
-4-
<PAGE> 21
improvements as to which Landlord has, prior to the date of surrender, consented
to or requested removal; and (b) otherwise in accordance with Paragraph 32(f).
Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal and otherwise restore the
Premises in accordance with the preceding sentence at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. On or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall remove all of Tenant's personal property from the Premises. All property
of Tenant not so removed, unless such non-removal is consented to by Landlord,
shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, provided that in such event Tenant shall
remain liable to Landlord for all costs incurred in storing and disposing of
such abandoned property of Tenant. If the Premises are not surrendered at the
end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and in accordance with the
provisions of this Paragraph 10 and of Paragraph 32(f), Tenant hereby
indemnifies Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in
so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by
any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
11. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
(a) Tenant shall not make, or permit to be made, any alteration or
addition to the Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
provided, however, Tenant without Landlord's consent, shall be entitled to
make interior, non-structural alterations or additions to the Premises not
requiring any permits which separately or in the aggregate over each twelve
(12) month period of the Term do not exceed five thousand dollars
($5,000.00).
(b) Any alteration or addition to the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, in compliance with all applicable laws and requirements
requested by Landlord, and in accordance with plans and specifications
approved in writing by Landlord.
(c) In the event Landlord consents to a proposed alteration or addition,
such consent shall include Landlord's advice in writing, whether or not
such proposed alteration or addition shall be required to be removed at the
expiration or termination of this Lease. If Landlord fails so to advise
Tenant regarding whether or not a proposed alteration or addition may be
removed at the expiration or termination of this Lease, then Tenant, may,
at Tenant's option, remove the alteration or addition, or surrender the
alteration or addition to Landlord with the Premises, without compensation
to Tenant, at the expiration or termination of this Lease. All additions,
alterations or improvements, including, but not limited to, heating,
lighting, electrical, air conditioning, fixed partitioning, drapery, wall
covering and paneling, built-in cabinet work and carpeting installations
made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part
of the Building, shall at once be and become the property of Landlord, and
shall not be deemed trade fixtures.
(d) Tenant agrees not to proceed to make such alterations or additions,
notwithstanding consent from Landlord to do so, until five (5) days after
Tenant's receipt of such consent, in order that Landlord may post
appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material
suppliers for payment for tenant's improvements. Tenant will at all times
permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion
of work.
12. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES
(a) MAINTENANCE BY TENANT. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its
sole expense, (1) keep and maintain in good order and condition, repair,
and replace the Premises, and every part thereof, including glass, windows,
window frames, skylights, interior and exterior doors and door frames, and
the interior of the Premises, (excepting only those portions of the
Building to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Paragraph 12(c)
below), (2) keep and maintain in good order and condition, repair, and
replace all utility and plumbing systems, fixtures and equipment, including
without limitation, electricity, gas, water, and sewer, located in or on
the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for these costs of replacement
only on a pro rata basis corresponding to the portion of the useful life of
the capital expenditure that will be exhausted during the remainder of the
Term, (3) furnish all expendables, including light bulbs, paper goods and
soaps, used in the Premises, (4) repair all damage to the Premises, the
Building or the Outside Areas caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees.
Tenant shall not do anything to cause any damage, deterioration or
unsightliness to the Building and the Outside Areas.
-5-
<PAGE> 22
(b) LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR AT TENANT'S EXPENSE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at Tenant's expense, to enter the Premises and perform Tenant's
maintenance, repair and replacement work. Within ten (10) days after
invoice therefor from Landlord, Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such maintenance, repair
and replacement work.
(c) MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
12(a), 22 and 23, and further subject to Tenant's obligation under
Paragraph 4 to reimburse Landlord, in the form of Additional Rent, for
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the cost and expense of the following
items, Landlord agrees to repair and maintain the following items: the
structural portions of the roof and the roof coverings (provided that
Tenant installs no additional air conditioning or other equipment on the
roof that damages structural portions of the roof or the roof coverings),
the foundation, the floor slab, the load bearing walls, and the exterior
walls (excluding any glass therein but including the painting thereof) of
the Building; the HVAC systems serving the Building and/or the Premises;
the utility and plumbing systems, fixtures, and equipment located outside
the Building; and the parking areas, landscaping, sprinkler systems,
sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and lighting systems in the Outside Areas.
Landlord shall not be required to repair or maintain conditions created due
to any act, negligence or omission of Tenant or its agents, contractors,
employees or invitees. Landlord's obligation hereunder to repair and
maintain is subject to the condition precedent that Landlord shall have
received written notice of the need for such repairs and maintenance.
Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition
known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report
such defects shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability
incurred by Landlord by reason of such condition.
(d) TENANT'S WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Tenant hereby expressly waives all rights
to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to terminate this Lease, as
provided for in California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942, and 1932(1),
respectively, and any similar or successor statute or law in effect or any
amendment thereof during the Term.
13. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE
Landlord shall purchase and keep in force fire, extended coverage and "all risk"
insurance covering the Building in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of
the replacement cost of the Building. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, comply with any and all reasonable requirements pertaining to the
Premises of any insurer necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and
public liability insurance, covering the Building and appurtenances. Landlord,
at Tenant's Cost, may maintain "Loss of Rents" insurance, insuring that the Rent
will be paid in a timely manner to Landlord for a period of at least twelve (12)
months if the Premises are destroyed or rendered unusable or inaccessible by any
cause insured against under this Lease.
14. TENANT'S INSURANCE
(a) PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense,
secure and keep in force a "broad form" public liability insurance and
property damage policy covering the Premises and the Outside Areas,
insuring Tenant, and naming Landlord and its lenders as additional
insureds, against any liability arising out of the ownership, use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all Outside Areas. The minimum
limit of coverage of such policy shall be in the amount of not less than
Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injury or death of one person in
any one accident or occurrence and in the amount of not less than Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injury or death of more than one person
in any one accident or occurrence, shall include an extended liability
endorsement providing contractual liability coverage (which shall include
coverage for Tenant's indemnification obligations in this Lease), and shall
contain a severability of interest clause or a cross liability endorsement.
Such insurance shall further insure Landlord and Tenant against liability
for property damage of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). The
limit of any insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant hereunder.
No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage, and loss
payable clauses shall be subject to Landlord's approval. Such policies of
insurance shall be issued as primary policies and not contributing with or
in excess of coverage that Landlord may carry, by an insurance company
authorized to do business in the State of California for the issuance of
such type of insurance coverage and rated A:XIII or better in Best's Key
Rating Guide. A copy of
-6-
<PAGE> 23
said policy or a certificate evidencing to Landlord's reasonable
satisfaction that such insurance is in effect shall be delivered to
Landlord upon commencement of the Term, and thereafter whenever Landlord
shall reasonably request.
(b) PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain in full force and
effect on all of its fixtures and equipment on the Premises, a policy or
policies of fire and extended coverage insurance with standard coverage
endorsement to the extent of the full replacement cost thereof. During the
term of this Lease the proceeds from any such policy or policies of
insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the fixtures and
equipment so insured. Landlord shall have no interest in the insurance upon
Tenant's equipment and fixtures and will sign all documents reasonably
necessary in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss by Tenant.
Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant's possessions. Tenant shall
furnish Landlord with a certificate evidencing to Landlord's reasonable
satisfaction that such insurance is in effect, and whenever required, shall
satisfy Landlord that such policy is in full force and effect.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) OF LANDLORD. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and
agents, employees, partners, shareholders, directors, invitees, and
independent contractors (collectively "Agents") of Landlord against and
from any and all claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of
action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees) arising from (1) Tenant's use of the Premises or from any activity
done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises, the
Building or the Property, and (2) any act, neglect, fault, willful
misconduct or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's Agents or from any breach or
default in the terms of this Lease by Tenant, and (3) any action or
proceeding brought on account of any matter in items (1) or (2), except to
the extent caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct by
Landlord or its agents. If any action or proceeding is brought against
Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant
shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. As a material part of the consideration to
Landlord, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to
persons in or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever (except that
which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct by
Landlord or its Agents or by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the
terms and conditions of this Lease, if such failure has persisted for an
unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failure), and
Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. The
obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 15 shall survive any termination
of this Lease.
(b) NO IMPAIRMENT OF INSURANCE. The foregoing indemnity shall not
relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under any policies
required to be carried by either party pursuant to this Lease, to the
extent that such policies cover the peril or occurrence that results in the
claim that is subject to the foregoing indemnity.
16. SUBROGATION
Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any claim against the other for any
loss or damage to any of their property located on or about the Premises, the
Building or the Property that is caused by or results from perils covered by
property insurance carried by the respective parties, to the extent of the
proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect to such loss or
damage, whether or not due to the negligence of the other party or its agents.
Because the foregoing waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way
of subrogation to an insurance company or any other person, each party now
agrees to immediately give to its insurer written notice of the terms of these
mutual waivers and shall have their insurance policies endorsed to prevent the
invalidation of the insurance coverage because of these waivers. Nothing in this
Paragraph 16 shall relieve a party of liability to the other for failure to
carry insurance required by this Lease.
17. ABANDONMENT
Tenant shall not abandon the Premises at any time during the Term. In the event
of abandonment, the rights and remedies of Tenant and Landlord shall be
determined in accordance with the applicable California statutes in effect at
the time of abandonment.
-7-
<PAGE> 24
18. FREE FROM LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property, free from any liens arising out
of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for
Tenant.
19. ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS
Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed in, upon, or about the Premises or
the Property any signs, advertisements or notices without obtaining Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or
without complying with applicable law, and will not conduct, or permit to be
conducted, any sale by auction on the Premises or otherwise on the Property.
Tenant shall remove any sign, advertisement or notice placed on the Premises by
Tenant upon the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and
Tenant shall repair any damage or injury to the Premises or the Property caused
thereby, all at Tenant's expense. If any signs are not removed, or necessary
repairs not made, Landlord shall have the right to remove the signs and repair
any damage or injury to the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
20. UTILITIES
Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone service and
all other materials and services supplied to the Premises. If Tenant fails to
pay for any of the foregoing when due, Landlord may pay the same and add such
amount to the Rent.
21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter into and upon the Premises
at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice (except in the case of an
emergency, for which no notice shall be required), and subject to Tenant's
reasonable security arrangements, for the purpose of inspecting the same or
showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants or to alter,
improve, maintain and repair the Premises as required or permitted of Landlord
under the terms hereof, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to
Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby
occasioned (except for actual damages resulting from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its agents); and Tenant shall permit Landlord to post
notices of non-responsibility and ordinary "for sale" or "for lease" signs,
provided that Landlord may post such "for lease" signs and exhibit the Premises
to prospective tenants only during the six (6) months prior to termination of
this Lease. No such entry shall be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry
into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the
Premises.
22. DESTRUCTION AND DAMAGE
(a) If the Building is damaged by fire or other perils covered by
extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option:
(1) In the event of total destruction (which shall mean destruction
or damage in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable
value thereof) of the Premises, elect either to commence promptly to
repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to
completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect; or not to repair or restore the Premises, in which event this
Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its
intention within sixty (60) days after the date (the "Casualty Discovery
Date") Landlord obtains actual knowledge of such destruction. If
Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed
to have terminated as of the date of such total destruction.
(2) In the event of a partial destruction (which shall mean
destruction or damage to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent
(25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises for which
Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost to
repair and restore such partial destruction and, if the damage thereto
is such that the Premises may be substantially repaired or restored to
its condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction
within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty Discovery Date,
Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair
and restoration, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force
and effect. If such repair and restoration requires longer than one
hundred eighty (180) days or if the insurance proceeds therefor (plus
any amounts Tenant may elect or is obligated to contribute) are not
sufficient to cover the cost of such
-8-
<PAGE> 25
repair and restoration, Landlord may elect either to so repair and
restore, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or not to repair or restore, in which event the Lease shall
terminate. In either case, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant
of its intention within sixty (60) days after the Casualty pursuant to
the provisions of this Lease, and (2) the rent and any additional rent
payable by the assignee or sublessee to Tenant, after deducting the
costs incurred by Tenant in connection with any such assignment or
sublease. The assignment or sublease agreement, as the case may be,
after approval by Landlord, shall not be amended without Landlord's
prior written consent, and shall contain a provision directing the
assignee or subtenant to pay the rent and other sums due thereunder
directly to Landlord upon receiving written notice from Landlord that
Tenant is in default under this Lease with respect to the payment of
Rent. Landlord's collection of such rent and other sums shall not
constitute an acceptance by Landlord of attornment by such assignee or
subtenant. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use
shall not be deemed to be a consent to any other or subsequent
assignment, subletting, occupation or use, and consent to any assignment
or subletting shall in no way relieve Tenant of any liability under this
Lease. Any assignment or subletting without Landlord's consent shall be
void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a Default under
this Lease.
(d) Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable fees, not to exceed Five
Hundred Dollars ($500) per transaction, incurred in connection with
Landlord's review and processing of documents regarding any proposed
assignment or sublease.
(e) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions,
conditions and limitations imposed by this Paragraph 24 on Tenant's
ability to assign or transfer this Lease or any interest herein, to
sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to transfer or assign any right
or privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or to allow any other person
to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof, are, for the
purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as amended from time
to time, and for all other purposes, reasonable at the time that the
Lease was entered into, and shall be deemed to be reasonable at the time
that Tenant seeks to assign or transfer this Lease or any interest
herein, to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to transfer or
assign any right or privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or to allow
any other person to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof.
Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this
Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial
destruction.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Paragraph 22, in the event of damage to the Premises occurring during
the last twelve (12) months of the Term, Landlord may elect to terminate
this Lease by written notice of such election given to Tenant within
thirty (30) days after the Casualty Discovery Date. Tenant at is option
shall have up to 120 days to vacate, from date of Landlord's notice;
provided, however, that Tenant shall pay the full scheduled monthly base
rent without offset, except for those portions of the Premises that
Landlord is occupying or making unusable to Tenant as a result of
Landlord's reconstruction or repair of the Premises, while Tenant is in
occupancy of the Premises.
(b) If the Premises is damaged by any peril not covered by extended
coverage insurance, and the cost to repair such damage exceeds any
Amount Tenant may agree to contribute, Landlord may elect either to
commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the
same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect; or not to repair or restore the Premises, in
which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant
written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the
Casualty Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises,
this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date on which
Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord, except that if
the damage to the Premises materially impairs Tenant's ability to
continue its business operations in the Premises, then this Lease shall
he deemed to have terminated as of the date such damage occurred.
-9-
<PAGE> 26
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 22,
Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, exercisable by
notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery
Date, in each of the following instances:
(1) If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full
insurable value of the Building or the Project is damaged or destroyed,
regardless of whether or not the Premises are destroyed.
(2) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is
damaged or destroyed and the repair and restoration of such damage
requires longer than one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty
Discovery Date.
(3) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is
damaged or destroyed and the insurance proceeds therefor are not
sufficient to cover the costs of repair and restoration.
(4) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is
damaged or destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the Term.
(d) In the event of repair and restoration as herein provided, the
monthly installments of Base Rent shall be abated proportionately in the
ratio which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during the period
of such repair or restoration, provided, however, that Tenant shall not
be entitled to such abatement to the extent that such damage or
destruction resulted from the acts or inaction of Tenant or Tenant's
Agents. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding
sentence with respect to abatement of Base Rent, Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord for, and hereby releases Landlord and Landlord's
Agents from responsibility for and waives its entire claim of recovery
for any cost, loss or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result
of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, the Building or the
Project or the repair or restoration thereof, including, without
limitation, any cost, loss or expense resulting from any loss of use of
the whole or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project
and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair
or restoration, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation or damages for loss of use of the whole or any part of the
Premises and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such
damage, repair or restoration.
(e) If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as
herein provided, Landlord shall repair or restore only the initial
tenant investments, if any, constructed by Landlord in the Premises
pursuant to the terms of this Lease, substantially to their condition
existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage or
destruction; and Tenant shall promptly repair and restore, at Tenant's
expense. Tenant's Alterations which were not constructed by Landlord.
(f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code
Section 1932(2) and Section 1933(4) which permit termination of a lease
upon destruction of the leased premises, and the provisions of any
similar law now or hereinafter in effect, and the provisions of this
Paragraph 22 shall govern exclusively in case of such destruction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease:
A. If the Premises are substantially damaged or impaired by fire
(25% or more) or other casualty as reasonably determined by Landlord,
and the Premises cannot be restored within two hundred ten (210) days
after the date of such damage, Tenant may terminate this Lease.
B. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord as provided herein,
Landlord shall restore the Premises and all Tenant Improvements
installed by Landlord to the condition in which they existed immediately
prior to the casualty.

23. CONDEMNATION
If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Building or the parking area for the
Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful
governmental power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation,
inverse condemnation, condemnation, or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such
taking (each such event being referred to as a "Condemnation"), Landlord may, at
its option, terminate this Lease as of the date title vests In the condemning
party. If the Building after any Condemnation and any repairs by Landlord would
be untenantable for the conduct of Tenant's business operations, Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date title vests in the
condemning party. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as provided
herein, such election shall be made by written notice to the other party given
within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of such Condemnation have
been finally determined. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any
claim against Landlord. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of
all Condemnation awards, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its
interest in such awards. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Building
or the parking area is taken, Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease.
If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease to the extent
permitted above, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises, to the
extent of any Condemnation award received by Landlord, to substantially their
same condition as existed prior to such Condemnation, allowing for the
reasonable effects of such Condemnation, and a proportionate abatement shall be
made to the Base Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the portion
of the floor area of the Building (adjusted for any increase thereto resulting
from any reconstruction) of which, Tenant is deprived on account of such
Condemnation and restoration. The provisions of California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1265.130, which allows either party to petition the Superior
Court to terminate the Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises,
and any other applicable law now or hereafter enacted, are hereby waived by
Landlord and Tenant
24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law, (1) mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest herein, (2) assign or
transfer this Lease or any interest herein, sublet the Premises or any part
thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant hereto, or allow any other person
(the employees, agents and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the
Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. When Tenant requests
Landlord's consent to such assignment or subletting, it shall notify Landlord in
writing of the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the
nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and

proposes to assign or sublease, on the same terms and conditions as stated in
the proposed sublet or assignment agreement, (3) consent to the proposed
assignment or sublease, or (4) refuse its consent to the proposed assignment or
sublease, providing that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which Landlord may
withhold its consent, Landlord may take into account the reputation and credit
worthiness of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the character of the business
proposed to be conducted in the Premises or portion thereof sought to be
subleased, and the potential impact of the proposed assignment or sublease on
the economic value of the Premises. In any event, Landlord may reasonably
withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease, if (l) the actual use
proposed to be conducted in the Premises or portion thereof conflicts with the
provisions of Paragraph 8(a), unless such actual use proposed is consented to by
Landlord, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, or 8(b) above or
with any other lease which restricts the use to which may space in the Building
may be put, or (2) the proposed assignment or sublease requires alterations,
improvements or additions to the Premises or portions thereof, which Landlord
does not consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) If Landlord approves an assignment or subletting as herein provided,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, seventy-five percent (75%) of
the difference, if any, between (1) the Base

certificate, subordination agreement, or lease amendment within the time
periods and in the manner required by Paragraph 30 or 31 or 42;
(g) An assignment or sublease, or attempted assignment or sublease, of
this Lease or the Premises by Tenant contrary to the provision of Paragraph

having received Landlord's consent thereto;
(h) Failure of Tenant to restore the Security Deposit to the amount and
within the time period provided in Paragraph 6 above;
(i) Failure in the performance of any of Tenant's covenants, agreements
or obligations hereunder (except those failures specified as events of

by such other Paragraphs), which failure continues for ten (10) days after
written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant provided that, if Tenant has
exercised reasonable diligence to cure such failure and such failure cannot
be cured within such ten (10) day period despite reasonable diligence,
Tenant shall not be in default under this subparagraph unless Tenant fails
thereafter diligently and continuously to prosecute the cure to completion;
and
(j) Chronic delinquency by Tenant in the payment of Rent, or any other
periodic payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. "Chronic
delinquency" shall mean failure by Tenant to pay Rent, or any other

months (consecutive or nonconsecutive) during any twelve (12) month period.
In the event of a Chronic Delinquency, in addition to Landlord's other
remedies for Default provided in this Lease, at Landlord's option, Landlord
shall have the right to require that Rent be paid by Tenant quarterly, in
advance.
Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph
25(b), (i) or (j) above shall satisfy the requirements for notice under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall not be
required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence
an unlawful detainer proceeding.
26. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
(a) TERMINATION. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition
to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under
this Lease, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this
Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such
intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so
terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
-12-
<PAGE> 29
(1) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and any other
sums due and payable which have been earned at the time of such
termination; plus
(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable which would have been
earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable for the balance of the
term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be
likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord (i) in retaking possession of the
Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring,
replacing, cleaning, altering or rehabilitating the Premises or any
portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or
tenants; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other costs
necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus
(5) such reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a
result of a Default, and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to
enforce such remedy; and plus
(6) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by
applicable law.
As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
computed by allowing interest at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%)
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. As used in
subparagraph (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). Tenant waives redemption
or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174
and 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is
evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Default of
Tenant hereunder.
(b) CONTINUATION OF LEASE. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then
in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity
and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in
California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in
effect after Tenant's Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it
becomes due, provided Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject
only to reasonable limitations).
(c) RE-ENTRY. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall also
have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, in compliance with
applicable law, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and
property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.
(d) RELETTING. In the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant
or in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter as provided in
Paragraph 26(c) or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal
proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does
not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Paragraph 26(a), Landlord
may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises
or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals
and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion
may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the
Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following
order: (1) reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a
Default and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such
remedies; (2) to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due
hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (3) to the payment of any costs
-13-
<PAGE> 30
of such reletting; (4) to the payment of the costs of any alterations and
repairs to the Premises; (5) to the payment of Rent due and unpaid
hereunder; and (6) the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and
applied in payment of future Rent and other sums payable by Tenant
hereunder as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that
portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month,
which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder, be less than the Rent
payable during the month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such
deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid
monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such
alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such
reletting.
(e) TERMINATION. No re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by
Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 26 shall be construed as an election to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to
Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord
because of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such
reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such Default.
(f) CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The remedies herein provided are not exclusive
and Landlord shall have any and all other remedies provided herein or by
law or in equity.
(g) NO SURRENDER. No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting of
the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed
to be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by
Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, and such acceptance by Landlord
of surrender by Tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a
written acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by Landlord. The
surrender of this Lease by Tenant, voluntarily or otherwise, shall not work
a merger unless Landlord elects in writing that such merger take place, but
shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of any and all existing
subleases, or Landlord may, at its option, elect in writing to treat such
surrender as a merger terminating Tenant's estate under this Lease, and
thereupon Landlord may terminate any or all such subleases by notifying the
sublessee of its election so to do within five (5) days after such
surrender.
27. ATTORNEY'S FEES
In the event any legal action or proceeding, including arbitration and
declaratory relief, is commenced for the purpose of enforcing any rights or
remedies pursuant to this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorneys' fees, as well as
costs of suit, in said action or proceeding, whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.
28. TAXES
Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes levied
against personal property and trade or business fixtures of Tenant. If any
alteration, addition or improvement installed by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph
11, or any personal property, trade fixture or other property of Tenant, is
assessed and taxed with the Property, Tenant shall pay such taxes to Landlord
within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant of a statement therefor.
29. EFFECT OF CONVEYANCE
The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, means only the owner for the time
being of the Property containing the Building, so that, in the event of any sale
of the Property or the Building. Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed
and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing
from and after the transfer, and it shall be deemed and construed, without
further agreement between the parties and the purchaser at any such sale, that
the purchaser of the Property or the Building has assumed and agreed to carry
out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder.
30. TENANT'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
From time to time, upon written request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its designee, a written certificate
stating (a) the date this Lease was executed, the Commencement Date of the Term
and the date the Term expires; (b) the date Tenant entered into occupancy of the
Premises; (c) the amount of Rent and the date to which such Rent has been
