Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 15, 2009, Harmonic Inc., a Delaware corporation (Harmonic), entered into a Lease
Agreement (the Lease Agreement) with CRP North First Street, L.L.C. (Landlord) to lease
approximately 188,332 square feet of rentable space, located at 4300 North First Street, San Jose,
California, as the new headquarters offices of the company (the Premises). The Lease Agreement
commences on or about September 1, 2010 and will continue for an initial term of ten years that
expires on August 31, 2020. Harmonics current lease agreement for its headquarters offices at
549-641 Baltic Way, Sunnyvale, California will expire on September 30, 2010.
Monthly base rent will not commence until the second anniversary of the lease commencement date and
on each anniversary date thereafter during the initial term will increase annually at a fixed rate
per square foot. On an annual basis, rent will increase over the period of the lease from
approximately $3.8 million during the third year of the lease to approximately $5.9 million in the
tenth year. At the end of the initial term of the lease, Harmonic has two options to extend the
term of the lease for successive periods of five years each at the then-prevailing market rental
rate. Additionally, Harmonic has an option to terminate the lease effective at any date after the
expiration of the seventh year of the lease term upon the payment of an agreed upon termination
fee.
In addition to monthly rent, Harmonic will be responsible for its share of operating expenses equal
to the sum of expenses directly attributable to the Premises plus a proportionate share of expenses
attributable to the real estate project of which the Premises are a part.
The Lease Agreement also provides for certain Tenant Improvements that Harmonic has agreed to
construct. Landlord is obligated to provide a Tenant Improvement
allowance of $18.8 million, and
Harmonic is responsible for any Tenant Improvement costs in excess of Landlords allowance.
Harmonic and Landlord have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Lease
Agreement. Harmonic has rights to assign the Lease Agreement or sublease any or all of the
Premises, subject to Landlords consent in certain circumstances, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld.
The above description of the Lease Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Lease Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.

generally accepted real estate accounting principles, together with interest on the unamortized
balance at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate (as defined in Paragraph 3.2 hereof) charged
at the time such capital expenditures are made, and such amortized costs
2
shall be included in Operating Expenses only for that portion of the useful life of the Included
Capital Item which falls within the Lease Term, unless the cost of the Included Capital Item is
less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) in which case it shall be expensed in the year in which it
was incurred. Operating Expenses shall be net only and for that purpose shall be reduced by the

indemnities made under this Lease; (17) any amounts paid to a person, firm, corporation, or other
entity related to Landlord that materially exceeds the amount charged by unaffiliated parties for
comparable goods or services (taking into account the scope, timing and quality of the goods or
services in question); (18) costs associated with the operation of the business of the entity which

the Lease Term; (23) costs incurred in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances,
provided that the same shall not affect Tenants obligations pursuant to Paragraph 7.3 below; (24)
the costs of repairs, alterations, and general maintenance necessitated by the negligence or

Operating Expense), sub-flooring, and all pipes and conduit (including, without limitation, the
fire protection loop) to the point of entry into the Building; (26) interest or penalties due to
the late payment of taxes, utility bills or other such costs; and (27) the costs including fines,
penalties, and legal fees incurred due to violations by Landlord, its employees, agents, or

special), excises, transit charges, housing fund assessments or other housing charges, levies or

or as an addition to, any other Real Property Taxes. Real Property Taxes shall include reasonable
out-of-pocket attorneys fees, costs and disbursements reasonably incurred in connection with
proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Real Property Taxes.
(b) At any time after the expiration of Lease Year 5, Tenant shall have the right to request
Landlord to contest Real Property Taxes, and if Landlord is not willing to undertake such contest,

Real Property Taxes paid by Landlord for such Expense Year, and then any remaining amount of such
tax refund shall be credited to Tenant as provided above. If Real Property Taxes for any period
during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason,
including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal
authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenants Percentage Share of any such increased

inheritance, sales, or capital stock taxes, unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any
of such sale or capital stock taxes is levied or assessed against Landlord in lieu of, as a
substitute (in whole or in part) for, or as an addition to, any other charge which would otherwise
constitute a part of Real Property Taxes, or (ii) penalties and interest, other than those
attributable to Tenants failure to comply timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease,

Property Taxes in excess of the amount which would be payable if such tax or assessment expense
were paid in installments over the longest allowable term.

payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

2. TERM.
5
2.1 Lease Term. The term of this Lease (the Lease Term) shall commence and, unless
ended sooner or extended as herein provided, shall expire on the dates respectively specified in
Paragraph H of the Summary of Lease Terms (respectively referred to hereinafter as the
Commencement Date and the Expiration Date). Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to confirm the
actual Commencement and Expiration Dates within ten (10) days following the commencement of the
Lease Term by executing and delivering to each other counterparts of a Commencement Date Memorandum
in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, but the Lease Term shall commence on the
Commencement Date and end on the Expiration Date whether or not such Memorandum is executed. This
Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon execution and delivery hereof by
Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Lease Term.
2.2 Delivery of Premises.
(a) Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon the mutual execution and
delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises
in their as is condition on the date of this Lease, without representation or warranty by
Landlord, express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, and with no obligation
of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises, or to perform any
construction, remodeling or other work of improvement upon the Premises, or contribute to the cost
of any of the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, including the Tenant
Improvement Agreement, and subject to any repair, maintenance, warranty and other obligations of
Landlord under this Lease. The parties acknowledge that Landlord has caused elevator cabs and
related equipment to be delivered to the Premises, but Tenant shall be responsible for installing
the elevators and related equipment pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement. Tenant also
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or
warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building or with respect to the suitability
of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenants business, except as expressly set forth in this
Lease. Landlord shall assign to Tenant the benefit of any warranties that Landlord has on the
elevator equipment, Building Systems or other portions of the Premises that Tenant is responsible
for maintaining under this Lease, and shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to enforce all such
warranties.
(b) Landlord represents and warrants that, to Landlords knowledge, as of the date of
execution of this Lease, the Real Property complies in all material respects with all Applicable
Laws, including, but not limited to, the ADA and Title 24 (as interpreted by applicable
governmental or quasi-governmental authorities as of the date of this Lease) applicable to a cold
shell condition, without regard to any specific use of the Premises or the Tenant Improvements to
be installed by Tenant pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement (Tenant Improvements). If
the Real Property as of the date of execution of this Lease does not comply in all material
respects with Applicable Laws, then Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, but
Landlord, at Landlords expense (without pass through to Tenant), shall perform such corrective
work or take such other actions as may be necessary to cure any violation. Landlord shall have the
right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to contest any
violation in good faith, including, but not limited to, the right to assert any and all defenses
allowed by Applicable Laws, and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, and Landlords obligation to perform corrective work
or take other action to cure a violation under this Paragraph 2.2(b) shall not apply until after
the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest; provided, however, that any delay in the
Substantial Completion Date (as defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement) that is caused by any
such violation or alleged violation of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, any
corrective work or other actions taken by Landlord, or by any application for waiver, contest,
appeal or other proceeding brought by Landlord to challenge such violation or alleged violation,
shall automatically constitute a Landlord Delay under the Tenant Improvement Agreement,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease. If prior to the completion of
the Tenant Improvements, Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing of any violation or alleged
violation of Applicable Laws with respect to the Real Property as of the date of this Lease, then
the issuance of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy (or sign off on the job card) for
the Tenant Improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement shall
conclusively establish that the foregoing representation was true
6
and correct, and Landlord shall thereafter have no further liability or responsibility pursuant to
this Paragraph 2.2(b).
(c) Landlord represents and warrants that, to Landlords knowledge, as of the date of
execution of this Lease, the roof (as used herein, the term roof shall mean both the roof
membrane and roof structure), structural elements of the Building (as used herein, the term
structural elements includes, without limitation, the foundations, columns, footings,
load-bearing and exterior walls, sub-flooring, and all pipes and conduit [including, without
limitation, the fire protection loop] to the point of entry into the Building), and all portions of
Building Systems in place upon delivery of the Premises to Tenant (recognizing that the Premises
are being delivered in a cold shell condition) (the Existing Building Systems), are in good
working condition and repair and water tight, except that elevators will be installed by Tenant
pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement. In addition, Landlord agrees to promptly perform all
work necessary to maintain the roof, structural elements of the Building, and all portions of the
Existing Building Systems in good working condition and repair during (i) the first twelve (12)
months following the Commencement Date with respect to patent defects (i.e., any defects that could
be discovered by a reasonable inspection of the Building), and (ii) the entire Lease Term with
respect to latent defects (i.e., any hidden defects that could not be discovered by a reasonable
inspection of the Building), at no cost to Tenant, except as provided in Paragraph 9.2(c).
(d) Without abrogating or otherwise limiting Landlords obligations under Paragraph 2.2(c) or
elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event before
January 15, 2010, cause an inspection of the roof, portions of the Building Systems in place upon
delivery of the Premises to Tenant, and the structural elements of the Premises to be performed by
a contractor approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed, and to deliver to Landlord, not later than January 15, 2010, a copy of the
report prepared by such contractor. If the report concludes that repairs or other corrective work
(collectively, the Corrective Work) is necessary to cause said portions of the Building to be in
good condition and repair, Landlord, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the report, shall
perform the Corrective Work at Landlords cost (without pass through to Tenant as an Operating
Expense). Tenant shall provide Landlord and its contractors with reasonable access to the Premises
to perform any Corrective Work, the parties shall reasonably coordinate their respective work so as
to minimize delays to the other party, and Landlord shall complete such work in a good and
workmanlike manner, in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and as soon as reasonably possible.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenants
inspection report, Landlord delivers to Tenant a good faith written objection to the report, then
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the
parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after Tenants receipt of
Landlords written objection to the report, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration
in accordance with Paragraph 34 below.
2.3 Early Occupancy. Tenant agrees that Tenants entry into and possession of the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date, including for the purpose of preparing the Premises for
Tenants occupancy, shall be pursuant to all of the applicable terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenants indemnity obligations contained in Paragraph 13
below and Tenants insurance obligations contained in Paragraph 14 below, but specifically
excluding the obligation to pay Basic Monthly Rental or Tenants Percentage Share of Operating
Expenses and Real Property Taxes, as provided in Paragraph 4 below.
2.4 Tenants Early Termination Option.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Tenant shall have an option (the
Termination Option) to terminate this Lease effective as of any date after the expiration of
Lease Year 7 (the Early Termination Date), with respect to the entirety of the Premises. The
Termination Option shall be exercisable only by giving Landlord unconditional and irrevocable
written notice (Termination Notice) thereof no later than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to
the Early Termination Date, time being of the essence. If Tenant elects to so terminate this
Lease, Tenant shall
7
pay to Landlord, concurrently with Tenants delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice, a
termination fee (the Termination Fee) equal to the unamortized amount, as of the Early
Termination Date, of Landlords Lease Expenses (as defined below) (such unamortized balance to be
computed by amortizing such amounts over the initial Lease Term, with interest at the Reference
Rate as of the date of the Termination Notice). As used herein, Landlords Lease Expenses means
the following: (1) all brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease, plus
(2) the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit C) paid by Landlord pursuant to the Tenant Improvement
Agreement. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with written notice of the total amount of Landlords
Lease Expenses (along with reasonable supporting backup documentation) within thirty (30) days
following Tenants request; and if Landlord has not furnished such written notice prior to Tenants
delivery of the Termination Notice hereunder, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Termination
Fee shall be payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenants receipt of such written
notice.
(b) The following provisions apply to Tenants Termination Option:
(i) If Tenant fails to pay the Termination Fee as required herein, Tenants attempted exercise
of the Termination Option shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect.
(ii) Tenants exercise of the Termination Option shall, at Landlords election, be null and
void if any monetary default or material non-monetary default by Tenant of which Tenant has
received Notice (as defined in Paragraph 28.11) under this Lease exists on the date of Landlords
receipt of Tenants Termination Notice or at any time thereafter prior to the Early Termination
Date (unless such default is cured by Tenant before the expiration of any applicable cure period).
Tenants exercise of the Termination Option shall not operate to cure any default under the Lease
by Tenant, nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of any
default by Tenant.
(iii) If Tenant exercises the Termination Option and pays the Termination Fee as provided
above, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required pursuant to
Paragraph 21 hereof on or, at Tenants option, before the Early Termination Date. If Tenant fails
to so vacate and surrender possession of the Premises on the Early Termination Date, the provisions
of Paragraph 22 hereof shall apply to Tenants continued occupancy thereof.
(c) The Termination Option is personal to, and may be exercised only by, Harmonic
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Original Tenant) or any Permitted Assignee pursuant to
Paragraph 12.9 below. If Tenant assigns this Lease other than to a Permitted Assignee prior to
Tenants exercise of the Termination Option, then immediately upon such assignment, Tenants right
to exercise the Termination Option shall simultaneously terminate and be of no further force or
effect. An assignment of this Lease made after Tenants exercise of the Termination Option pursuant
to Paragraph 2.4(a) shall not affect Tenants prior exercise of the Termination Option. No
assignee (other than a Permitted Assignee) or subtenant shall have any right to exercise the
Termination Option.
3. RENTAL; SECURITY DEPOSIT.
3.1 Basic Monthly Rental. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Basic Monthly Rental
for the Premises the sums specified in Paragraph I of the Summary of Lease Terms. Basic Monthly
Rental shall be paid to Landlord, in advance, on or before the first day of each and every
successive calendar month during the Lease Term. In the event the Lease Term commences on a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last day of a
calendar month, then the Basic Monthly Rental for the first and/or last fractional months of the
Lease Term shall be appropriately prorated. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the
actual number of days in the month in question.
8
3.2 Payment; Interest; Late Charge. Rental shall be paid to Landlord without notice,
demand, deduction or offset, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds or by good check as described below at Landlords
address for payments specified in Paragraph B of the Summary of Lease Terms, or to such other
person or at such other place as Landlord from time to time may designate in writing. Payments
made by check must be drawn either on a California financial institution or on a financial
institution that is a member of the federal reserve system. All amounts of Rental, if not paid
when due, shall bear interest from the due date until paid at an annual rate of interest (the
Interest Rate) equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum interest rate per year allowed by
Applicable Laws, or (b) a rate equal to the sum of two (2) percentage points over the
publicly-announced reference rate charged on such due date by the San Francisco Main Office of Bank
of America N.A. (or if Bank of America, N.A. ceases to exist, the largest bank then headquartered
in the State of California) (the Reference Rate). In addition, Tenant acknowledges that late
payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rental will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult to fix. Such costs include,
without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and/or note secured by an encumbrance covering the
Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rental due from Tenant is not received within five (5)
days of when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the
overdue Rental as a late charge; provided that, if Rental is not paid when due two (2) times during
any one Lease Year, then, thereafter, Tenant shall not be entitled to such five (5) day grace
period, and such late charge shall be assessed on any Rental not paid by 5:00 p.m. on the date due.
The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs
that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment of Rental by Tenant. Acceptance of any late
charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants default with respect to the overdue amount, or
prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, no such late
charge or interest shall accrue on the first (and only the first) late payment of Rental by Tenant
during any Lease Year, unless Tenant fails to make such payment within three (3) business days
after Tenants receipt of a written notice of delinquency from Landlord.
3.3 Deposit. Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the
security deposit specified in Paragraph K of the Summary of Lease Terms (the Deposit). The
Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the
provisions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant. If an Event of Default by Tenant
shall occur with respect to any provision of this Lease (or, if Landlord is prohibited by
Applicable Laws from providing Notice to Tenant of Tenants failure to comply with one or more
provisions of this Lease, then upon any such failure by Tenant and lapse of the specified cure
period without the necessity of providing Notice to Tenant), Landlord may (but shall not be
obligated to), and without prejudice to any other remedy available to Landlord, use, apply or
retain all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of any Rental in default or for the
payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenants default, or
to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby, including, without
limitation, prospective damages and damages recoverable pursuant to California Civil Code Section
1951.2. If Landlord uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit as provided above, Tenant
shall within ten (10) days after demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient
to restore the Deposit to the full amount thereof, and Tenants failure to do so shall, at
Landlords option, be an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 18.1) under this Lease.
Landlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general accounts. The
Deposit, or so much thereof as has not previously been applied by Landlord, shall be returned,
without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlords option, to
the last assignee, if any, of Tenants interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days following the
later of the expiration of the Lease Term or Tenants vacation and surrender of the Premises.
Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, or any similar or successor
laws now or hereinafter in effect, that restrict Landlords use or application of the Deposit, or
that provide specific time periods for return of the Deposit. Landlords return of the Deposit or
any part thereof shall not be construed as an admission that Tenant has performed all of its
obligations under this Lease. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant
with respect to the Deposit.
4. TENANTS SHARE OF OPERATING EXPENSES AND REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
9
4.1 Payment of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes. In addition to the Basic
Monthly Rental payable during the Lease Term, commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing
throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenants Percentage
Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes allocable to any Expense Year.
4.2 Estimates. Prior to the Commencement Date and during December of each Expense
Year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its reasonable
estimate of the amounts payable pursuant to Paragraph 4.1 above for the succeeding Expense Year.
On or before the first day of each month during the succeeding Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as additional rent, one twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts. If Landlord fails to
deliver such notice to Tenant in December, Tenant shall continue to pay Tenants Percentage Share
of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes on the basis of the prior years estimate until the
first day of the next calendar month after such notice is given, provided that on such date Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount of such estimated adjustment payable to Landlord for prior months
during the year in question, less any portion thereof previously paid by Tenant. If at any time it
reasonably appears to Landlord that the amounts payable under this Paragraph 4.2 for the current
Expense Year will vary from Landlords estimate, Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant,
revise Landlords estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be
based on such revised estimate. Landlords failure or delay in providing Tenant with Landlords
estimate of Tenants Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes or Landlords
Annual Statement (as defined in Paragraph 4.3(a) below) for any Expense Year shall not constitute
a default by Landlord hereunder, or a waiver by Landlord of Tenants obligation to pay Tenants
Percentage Share of Operating Expenses or Real Property Taxes for such Expense Year or of
Landlords right to send to Tenant such an estimate or Annual Statement, as the case may be, but
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide such estimates and Annual Statements to Tenant as
soon as reasonably practicable.
4.3 Annual Statement; Review of Books and Records.
(a) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each Expense Year or as soon after
such one hundred twenty (120) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
statement of the amounts payable under Paragraph 4.1 above for such Expense Year (an Annual
Statement) and, subject to Paragraph 4.3(b), such statement shall be final and binding upon
Tenant. If, on the basis of such Annual Statement, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the
estimated payments for such Expense Year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency
to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Statement . If, on the basis of
such Annual Statement, Tenant has paid to Landlord an amount in excess of the amounts payable under
Paragraph 4.1 above for the preceding Expense Year, then Landlord, at its option, shall either
promptly refund such excess to Tenant or credit the amount thereof to the Basic Monthly Rental next
becoming due from Tenant until such credit has been exhausted. The obligations of Landlord and
Tenant under this Paragraph to refund any overpayment or pay any deficiency, as appropriate, shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Tenant shall have the right, during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following
delivery of an Annual Statement, at Tenants sole cost to review in Landlords offices in the San
Francisco Bay Area Landlords records of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for the subject
Expense Year (including reasonably detailed back up documentation). Such review shall be carried
out only by regular employees of Tenant or by a licensed national or regional accounting firm and
not by any other third party. No person conducting such an audit shall be compensated on a
contingency or other incentive basis. Tenant shall keep any information gained from its
inspection of Landlords books and records confidential and shall not disclose any such information
to any other party, except for Tenants employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, and other
consultants, or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws or court order. If requested by Landlord,
Tenant shall require its employees, agents or contractors inspecting Landlords books and records
to sign a confidentiality agreement in a commercially reasonable form prior to making Landlords
books and records available to them. If, as of the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after
delivery to Tenant of an Annual Statement, Tenant shall not have delivered to Landlord an Objection
Statement (as defined below), then such Annual Statement shall
10
be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant shall have no further right to object to
such Annual Statement. If within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Tenant delivers to
Landlord a written statement specifying objections to such Annual Statement (an Objection
Statement), then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the
objections. If the parties are unable to resolve Tenants objections within thirty (30) days after
Landlords receipt of the Objection Statement, then Landlord shall select (subject to Tenants
approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) an independent certified public accountant,
property manager or other expert in the determination of operating expenses in commercial office
projects (Operating Expenses Expert) to issue a final and conclusive resolution of Tenants
objection. If, according to such Operating Expenses Expert, Landlords original determination of
annual Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes overstated the amounts thereof, in the aggregate,
by two and one-half percent (2.5%) or less, then Tenant shall pay the cost of the certification
within thirty (30) days following Tenants receipt of such certification, and if, according to such
certification, Landlords original determination of annual Operating Expenses and Real Property
Taxes overstated the amounts thereof, in the aggregate, by more than two and one-half percent
(2.5%), then Landlord shall pay the cost of the certification. Further, in the case of an
understatement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency in Tenants payment of Operating
Expenses and Real Property Taxes within thirty (30) days following Tenants receipt of such
certification. In the case of an overstatement, Landlord shall, at its election, either promptly
refund the amount of Tenants overpayment of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes or, if this
Lease is still in effect, credit such overpayment against Tenants subsequent obligations to pay
Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes. Notwithstanding that any such dispute remains
unresolved, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord all amounts payable in accordance with this
Paragraph 4 (including any disputed amount).
4.4 Proration. If this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of an
Expense Year, the amounts payable by Tenant under Paragraph 4.1 above with respect to the Expense
Year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from
the commencement of such Expense Year, to and including such termination date, bears to 360;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any Operating Expenses or Real Property Taxes that
are fairly allocable to any period of time before the Commencement Date or after the expiration of
earlier termination of the Lease Term. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the
obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 4.3 above to be performed after such
termination.
4.5 Net Lease. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the Basic Monthly
Rental paid to Landlord throughout the Lease Term shall be absolutely net of all Real Property
Taxes and Operating Expenses, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease.
5. OTHER TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes, but not including Real
Property Taxes, payable by Landlord (other than (i) net income, gift, franchise, transfer,
inheritance or capital stock taxes, (ii) penalties and interest, other than those attributable to
Tenants failure to comply timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease, (iii) increases in
taxes (whether increases result from increased rate, valuation, or both) attributable to additional
improvements to the Real Property unless constructed for Tenants primary benefit or for the common
benefit of Tenant and other tenants in the Building, and (iv) any taxes in excess of the amount
which would be payable if such tax or assessment expense were paid in installments over the longest
allowable term) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto: (a)
imposed upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenants equipment,
furniture, fixtures and Tenants other personal property located in the Premises; (b) imposed upon
or measured by the Basic Monthly Rental payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross
income tax or excise tax levied by the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, the State of
California, the federal government or any other governmental body with respect to the receipt of
such rental; (c) imposed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management,
maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof;
or (d) imposed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or
transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. In the event that it shall not be lawful
for Tenant to so reimburse Landlord, the Basic Monthly Rental payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net
Landlord the same income after imposition of
11
any such tax upon Landlord as would have been received by Landlord hereunder prior to the
imposition of any such tax.
6. USE. Subject to the other provisions of this Paragraph 6, Tenant shall be entitled to use the
Premises for any lawful use consistent with applicable zoning, including, but not limited to,
research and development labs, manufacturing, warehouse and general office administration;
provided, however, that Tenant agrees not to do or permit to be done in or about the Premises, nor
to bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept in or about the Premises, anything which is
prohibited by or will in any way conflict with any Applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect.
Tenant agrees not to do or permit to be done anything in, on or about the Premises which will in
any way obstruct or interfere unreasonably with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the
Project, or injure or unreasonably annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any
unlawful purpose. Tenant agrees not to cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the
Premises, nor permit any objectionable odors, bright lights or electrical or radio interference
which interferes unreasonably with the rights of other tenants of the Project or the public.
Tenant agrees not to commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises. The
provisions of this Paragraph 6 are for the benefit of Landlord only and shall not be construed to
be for the benefit of any tenant or occupant of the Project.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS/ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
7.1 Compliance with Laws. Tenant agrees at its sole cost and expense to promptly
comply with all Applicable Laws; with any occupancy certificate issued for the Premises; and with
the provisions of all recorded documents affecting the Premises (Underlying Documents), insofar
as any thereof relates to or affects the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises; provided,
however, that (a) subject to reimbursement as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4, Tenant
shall not be required to make or pay for alterations or improvements to the structural portions of
the Premises, unless such alterations or improvements are necessitated by Tenants Alterations (as
defined in Paragraph 8.1 below), Tenants particular use of the Premises or, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 14.6 below, the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant
Party; and (b) Tenant shall not be required to comply with the provisions of any Underlying
Documents entered into following the date of this Lease to the extent such provisions increase
Tenants monetary obligations, materially increase any other of Tenants obligations, or materially
diminish Tenants rights, set forth in this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible, at
its sole cost and expense, for (i) ADA compliance in the Premises, including in connection with any
leasehold improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with
this Lease, (ii) ADA compliance outside the Premises triggered by Tenants Alterations in the
Premises, and (iii) ADA compliance outside the Premises necessitated by the Building being deemed
to be a public accommodation instead of a commercial facility as a result of Tenants use of
the Premises. With respect to any ADA compliance work required outside the Premises for which
Tenant is responsible hereunder, Tenant shall perform such work in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Paragraph 8 below, including with contractors, subcontractors, engineers
and architects approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed). The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of
Tenant in any action against Tenant (whether Landlord be a party thereto or not), that Tenant has
violated any Applicable Laws or other such requirements or provisions shall be conclusive of that
fact as between Landlord and Tenant. If Tenants use or operation of the Premises or any of
Tenants equipment therein requires a governmental permit, license or other authorization or any
notice to any governmental agency, Tenant shall promptly upon receipt of a written request provide
a copy thereof to Landlord.
7.2 Traffic Management Programs. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and
participate in any government-mandated traffic management programs applicable to the Building or
the Project. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to encourage van and
car pooling and bicycle use by its office workers and employees to the extent reasonably permitted
by the requirements of Tenants business. Neither this Paragraph nor any other provision of this
Lease is intended to or shall create any rights or benefits in any other person, firm, company,
governmental entity or the public.
12
7.3 Hazardous Substances.
(a) Prohibition Against Hazardous Substances.
(i) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances (as defined below) to be brought
upon, produced, treated, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in or near the Project without
Landlords prior written consent, which Landlord may give or withhold in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to use reasonable quantities of Hazardous
Materials that are required for Tenants business operations on the Real Property as long as any
handling, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal or use of such Hazardous Substances in or
about the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees shall strictly comply
with all applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and
complying with all permits necessary for the maintenance and operation of its business, including,
without limitation, all permits governing the use, handling, storage, treatment, transport,
discharge and disposal of Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
and the other Landlord Indemnitees (as defined in Paragraph 13.2 below) harmless from and against
any Claims (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or the Project,
damages for the loss or restriction on use of leasable space or of any amenity of the Premises or
the Project, Remedial Work (as defined below), and sums paid in settlement of claims) which result
from or arise out of the use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of any
Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises during the Lease Term and on or about the Project
outside of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as defined in Paragraph 13.2 below) in
violation of applicable Environmental Laws.
(ii) Landlord shall have the right, at any time, but not more than once in any calendar year
(unless Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that Tenant has failed to fully comply with the
provisions of this Paragraph 7.3, or unless required by any lender or governmental agency) and
subject to not less than forty-eight (48) hour prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an
emergency), to inspect the Premises and conduct tests and investigations to determine whether
Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 7.3. The costs of all such
inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne solely by Landlord, unless Tenant has been
found to have not fully complied with the provisions of this Paragraph 7.3 in any material respect,
in which event Tenant shall bear the costs of such inspection, test or investigation. The
foregoing rights granted to Landlord shall not, however, create (1) a duty on Landlords part to
inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant
or any Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Substances, including, but not limited to, Tenants
operation, use or remediation thereof, or (2) liability on the part of Landlord or any other
Landlord Indemnitee for Tenants use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of
any Hazardous Substances, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all
liability in connection Tenants use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of
any Hazardous Substances in violation of this Paragraph 7.3, except to the extent such liability is
caused or exacerbated by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlords
agents, employees, or contractors.
(b) Landlord Notification. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with complete
copies of all documents, correspondence and other written materials received by Tenant concerning
violations of applicable Environmental Laws at the Premises or the Project, including, without
limitation, violations of applicable Environmental Laws relating to the release, potential release,
investigation, compliance, cleanup and abatement of Hazardous Substances, and any claims, causes of
action or other legal documents related to same. Within twenty-four (24) hours of any release,
spill or discharge of Hazardous Substances, in, on, or about the Premises or Project in violation
of applicable Environmental Laws of which Tenant becomes aware, Tenant shall provide written notice
to Landlord fully describing the event. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of any document or
correspondence submitted by or on behalf of Tenant to any regulatory agency as a result of or in
connection with the unlawful release, spill or discharge. Within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt
by Tenant of any warning, notice of violation, permit suspension or similar disciplinary measure
relating to Tenants actual or alleged failure to comply with any Environmental Laws, Tenant shall
provide written notice to Landlord.
13
(c) Remedial Work. If any investigation or monitoring of site conditions or any
clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or remediation of Hazardous Substances (collectively,
Remedial Work) is required under any Environmental Laws as a result of the handling, use,
storage, treatment, transportation or disposal of any Hazardous Substances by Tenant or any Tenant
Party, then Tenant shall perform or cause to be performed the Remedial Work in compliance with
Environmental Laws or, at Landlords option, Landlord may cause such Remedial Work to be performed
and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs thereof within thirty
(30) days after demand therefor. All Remedial Work performed by Tenant shall be performed by one
or more contractors, selected by Tenant and approved in advance in writing by Landlord (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and under the supervision of
a consulting engineer selected by Tenant and approved in advance in writing by Landlord (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). All costs and expenses of
such Remedial Work shall be paid by Tenant, including, without limitation, the charges of such
contractor(s), the consulting engineer and Landlords reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys and
experts fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.
(d) Hazardous Substances Disclosure Certificate. Prior to executing this Lease,
Tenant has completed, executed and delivered to Landlord a Hazardous Materials Disclosure
Certificate (Initial Disclosure Certificate), a fully completed copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by this reference. The completed Initial Disclosure
Certificate shall be deemed incorporated into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall be
entitled to rely fully on the information contained therein. Tenant shall, at such times as Tenant
desires to handle, produce, treat, store, use, discharge or dispose of new or additional Hazardous
Substances on or about the Premises that were not listed on the Initial Disclosure Certificate (or
within ten (10) business days following Landlords request made in connection with a bona fide
sale, financing or other similar transaction involving the Project), complete, execute and deliver
to Landlord an updated Disclosure Certificate (each, an Updated Disclosure Certificate)
describing Tenants then current and proposed future uses of Hazardous Substances on or about the
Premises, which Updated Disclosure Certificates shall be in the same format as that which is set
forth in Exhibit E or in such updated format as Landlord may reasonably require from time
to time. Tenant shall deliver an Updated Disclosure Certificate to Landlord not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the date Tenant intends to commence the manufacture, treatment, use, storage,
handle, discharge or disposal of new or additional Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises,
and Landlord shall have the right to approve or disapprove such new or additional Hazardous
Substances in its reasonable discretion. Tenant shall make no use of Hazardous Substances on or
about the Premises except as described in the Initial Disclosure Certificate or as otherwise
approved by Landlord in writing in accordance with this Paragraph 7.3.
(e) Third Party Hazardous Substances. Landlord represents and warrants that, to the
best of its knowledge (which is based solely on the Phase I Environmental Report for the Project, a
copy of which has been delivered to Tenant prior to the date of this Lease), the Premises do not,
as of the date of this Lease, contain any Hazardous Substances in violation of Applicable Laws. If
any Hazardous Substances are discovered to have been present in the Premises as of the date of this
Lease in violation of Applicable Laws (Preexisting Hazardous Substances), then, Landlord, at
Landlords expense (without pass through as an Operating Expense), shall diligently remove or
otherwise remediate such condition, as required by Applicable Laws. Further, in no event shall
Tenant be required to clean up, remove or remediate any Hazardous Substances in, on, or about the
Premises, that were not brought upon, produced, treated, stored, used, discharged or disposed of by
Tenant or Tenant Parties (collectively, Third Party Hazardous Substances), except to the extent
that any hazard posed by such Third Party Hazardous Substances is exacerbated by the negligent acts or omissions or willful
misconduct of Tenant or Tenant Parties. For purposes hereof, Third Party Hazardous Substances
shall include Hazardous Substances in, on, or about the Premises that were brought upon, produced,
treated, stored, used, discharged or disposed of by Landlord or Landlord Parties (as defined in
Paragraph 28.1 below). Landlord, at Landlords expense (without pass through as an Operating
Expense), shall remove or otherwise remediate any Third Party Hazardous Substances, as required by
Applicable Laws. In addition, Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Tenant) and hold harmless Tenant from and against (i) any fine or cost or expense
(including reasonable legal
14
expenses and consultants fees) (Remediation Cost) that Tenant may
incur as a result of any Remedial Work required of Tenant by a governmental authority resulting
from the introduction, production, use, generation, storage, treatment, disposal, discharge,
release or other handling or disposition of any Third Party Hazardous Substances, and (ii) any
Claims asserted against Tenant or any Tenant Party arising from any injury or death of any person
or damage to or destruction of any property occurring as a result of any such Third Party Hazardous
Substances; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to any
Remediation Cost or Claim to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Tenant Party, or to the extent that any hazard posed by such Third Party Hazardous Substances is
exacerbated by, or the cost of the Remedial Work is increased as a result of, the negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant is prevented from using, and does not
use, the Premises or any material portion thereof as a consequence of a Preexisting Hazardous
Substance or Third Party Hazardous Substance (each, a Hazardous Substance Event), then Tenant
shall give Landlord notice of such Hazardous Substance Event, and if such Hazardous Substance Event
continues for more than five (5) consecutive business days after Landlords receipt of such notice
(Hazardous Substance Abatement Period), then the Basic Monthly Rent and Tenants Percentage Share
of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be abated after expiration of the Hazardous
Substance Abatement Period and continuing for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented
from using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof, in the proportion that
the rentable area of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to
the total rentable area of the Premises. Such right to abate Basic Monthly Rent and Tenants
Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be Tenants sole and exclusive
remedy at law or in equity for a Hazardous Substance Event; provided, however, that if a Hazardous
Substance Event continues for nine (9) months after Landlords receipt of notice thereof from
Tenant, then Tenant shall thereafter have the right to terminate this Lease by delivery of written
notice of termination to Landlord at any time prior to cessation of the Hazardous Substance Event.

that such laws address asbestos and asbestos containing materials (whether friable or non-friable)
or lead and lead based paint or other lead containing materials.

8. ALTERATIONS; LIENS.
8.1 Alterations. Tenant agrees not to make or suffer to be made any alteration,
addition Alterations or improvement to or of the Premises (hereinafter referred to as
Alterations), or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, (i) Tenant
acknowledges that, by way of example and without limitation, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to
withhold its consent to Alterations materially adversely affecting the structural portions of the
Building or the Building Systems, and (ii) the term Alterations as used in this Section 8 shall not
be deemed to include the Tenant Improvements, it being understood that the parties rights and
obligations with respect to the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be governed by
Exhibit C to this Lease. Alterations made by Tenant, including without limitation any
partitions (movable or otherwise) or carpeting, shall become a part of the Building and belong to
Landlord; provided, however, that equipment, trade fixtures and movable furniture shall remain the
property of Tenant. If Landlord consents to the making of any Alterations, the same shall be
designed and constructed or installed by Tenant at Tenants expense (including expenses incurred in
complying with Applicable Laws). All Alterations shall be performed only by contractors or
mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed; provided, however, that if Landlord consents to any Alterations that require work to be
performed outside the Premises, Landlord may elect to perform such work at Tenants reasonable
expense, provided that such work shall be performed at prevailing and competitive rates (taking
into account the scope of the services, the financial strength, reputation and quality of
Landlords selected contractor, and the requirement that harmonious labor relations be maintained
within the Project). All Alterations shall be made in accordance with complete and detailed
architectural, mechanical and engineering plans and specifications approved in writing by Landlord
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and shall be designed
and diligently constructed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Applicable
Laws. Tenant shall cause any Alterations to be made in
such a manner and at such times so that any such work shall not unreasonably disrupt or
unreasonably interfere with the use or occupancy of other tenants or occupants of the Project.
Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage, loss, cost or expense
incurred by Tenant on account of Tenants plans and specifications, Tenants contractors or
subcontractors, design of any work, construction of any work, or delay in completion of any work,
except to the extent that any of the foregoing is caused by Landlords or any of Landlords agents,
employees, or contractors negligence or willful misconduct, Landlords violation of Applicable
Laws, or Landlords breach of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlords consent shall
not be required for any Minor Alterations (as defined below), provided that Tenant shall provide
Landlord at least ten (10) days notice prior to commencing such Minor Alterations, and such Minor
Alterations shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 8. As used herein, a
Minor Alteration is any Alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria: (1) is not
visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building; (2) will not adversely affect the Building
Systems or structural portions of the
16
Building (including exterior walls and shear walls); and (3)
does not cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per project.
8.2 Required Documentation. Subsequent to obtaining Landlords consent and prior to
commencement of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any building or other permit
required by Applicable Laws in connection with the Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall require
its general contractor to carry and maintain the following insurance at no expense to Landlord, and
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence thereof prior to the commencement of
construction: (a) Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000
combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage, including personal injury and death,
and Contractors Protective Liability, and Products and Completed Operations Coverage in an amount
not less than $500,000 per incident, $1,000,000 in the aggregate; (b) Comprehensive automobile
liability insurance with a policy limit of not less than $1,000,000 each accident for bodily injury
and property damage, providing coverage at least as broad as the Insurance Services Office (ISO)
Business Auto Coverage form covering Automobile Liability, code 1 any auto, and insuring against
all loss in connection with the ownership, maintenance and operation of automotive equipment that
is owned, hired or non-owned; (c) Workers Compensation with statutory limits and Employers
Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $100,000 per accident, $500,000 aggregate disease
coverage and $100,000 disease coverage per employee; and (d) except in the case of Minor
Alterations, and unless Tenant carries such coverage itself, Builders Risk insurance in an
amount approved by Landlord covering the Alterations, it being understood and agreed that the
Alterations (which, for purposes of this Section 8, shall exclude the Tenant Improvements) shall be
insured by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 14 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. The
contractors commercial general insurance policy shall be endorsed to add Landlord as an additional
insured with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or for Tenants general
contractor, to specify that such insurance is primary and that any insurance or self-insurance
maintained by Landlord shall not contribute with it, and to provide that coverage shall not be
terminated, cancelled or materially modified except after thirty (30) days prior written notice has
been given to Landlord. Landlord may require complete copies of the insurance certificates.
8.3 Inspection; As-Built Plans. Landlord shall have the right (but not an obligation)
to inspect the construction work during the progress thereof, and require corrections of faulty
construction or any material deviation from the plans for such Alterations as approved by Landlord;
provided, however, that no such inspection shall be deemed to create any liability on the part of
Landlord, or constitute a representation by Landlord or any person hired to perform such inspection
that the work so inspected conforms with such plans or complies with any Applicable Laws, and no
such inspection shall give rise to a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, Landlords continuing
right at any time or from time to time to require the correction of any faulty work or any material
deviation from such plans. Promptly following completion of any Alterations (excluding Alterations
that do not require a building permit), Tenant shall (a) furnish to Landlord as-built plans
therefor, and (b) cause a timely notice of completion to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder
of the County of Santa Clara in accordance with Civil Code Section 3093 or any successor statute.
All trash which may accumulate in connection with Tenants construction activities shall
be removed by Tenant or its contractor at reasonable intervals at no expense to Landlord from
the Premises and the Building.
8.4 Supervision Fee; Payments by Landlord. In connection with any Alterations, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a fee in accordance with the following for its review of plans and its
management and supervision of the progress of the work (Alterations Supervision Fee): (a) 5% of
the first $50,000 of the cost of such Alterations; plus (b) 4% of the next $100,000 of the cost of
such Alterations; plus (c) 3.5% of the next $100,000 of the cost of such Alterations; plus (d) 3%
of the next $750,000 of the cost of such Alterations; plus (e) 2% of the amount by which the cost
of such Alterations exceeds $1,000,000. The Alterations Supervision Fee payable by Tenant
hereunder shall be calculated on a project-by-project basis. All sums due to Tenants contractors,
if paid by Landlord due to an Event of Default by Tenant, shall bear interest payable to Landlord
at the Interest Rate until fully paid.
8.5 Removal and Restoration. By written notice to Tenant either before, or at the
time of, Landlords approval of any Alterations (or, as to Minor Alteration, within thirty (30)
days following
17
Tenants request), Landlord may require Tenant, at Tenants sole expense, to remove
such Alterations prior to the Expiration Date or any earlier termination of this Lease, to restore
the Premises to substantially their configuration and condition before the Alterations were made,
and to repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. If Landlord does not deliver such
removal notice to Tenant within the time period specified herein, then Tenant shall not be required
to remove such Alterations. Tenant shall use a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord for such
removal and repair.
8.6 Liens. Tenant agrees to keep the Premises and the Real Property free from any
liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant.
Tenant shall promptly and fully pay and discharge all claims on which any such lien could be based.
In the event that Tenant does not, within twenty (20) days following Tenants receipt of notice of
the recording of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in
addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to
cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim
giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord for such purpose, and all expenses incurred by
it in connection therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant, as additional rent, promptly on
demand, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such expenses are incurred by
Landlord to the date of the payment thereof by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right
at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or
which Landlord shall reasonably deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises, the
Building, or the Real Property, from mechanics and materialmens and like liens. Tenant shall
give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date of commencement of any
construction on the Premises in order to permit the posting of such notices.

out-of-pocket cost thereof, plus five percent (5%) of the cost thereof to compensate Landlord for
costs or expenses arising from Landlords involvement with such repairs and replacements, within
ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.
9.2 Landlords Obligations.
(a) Subject to reimbursement as an Operating Expense to the extent permitted pursuant to
Paragraphs 1.7, 2.2, and 4 above and subject further to the provisions of Paragraphs 19 and 20
below, Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace the following items (Landlords Repair

(b) Landlords Repair Obligations shall include the obligation to make all necessary and

Interest Rate charged at the time such capital expenditures are made, and such amortized costs
shall be included in Operating Expenses only for that portion of the useful life of the Included
Capital Item which falls within the Lease Term.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in Paragraphs 2.2(c), 9.2 or elsewhere in this Lease to the
contrary, but subject to Paragraph 14.5 concerning waiver of subrogation rights, any damage to the
portions of the Project that Landlord is required to repair arising from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties shall be repaired by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay
Landlords reasonable out-of-pocket cost thereof (or, if covered by Landlords insurance, Tenant
shall pay any deductible in connection therewith), plus five percent (5%) of the cost of such
repairs to compensate Landlord for costs or expenses arising from Landlords involvement with such
repairs, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor (including reasonable

at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an
emergency) to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Building or to any equipment located in the Building as Landlord shall reasonably desire or deem
necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or
court order or decree.
9.3 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection
1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law,
statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
19
10. SERVICES.
10.1 Utilities Services. Tenant shall promptly pay directly to the appropriate
utility or service provider, as the same become due, all charges for water, gas, electricity,
telephone, sewer service, waste pick-up and any other utilities, materials and services furnished
directly to or used by Tenant on or about the Premises during the Lease Term, including, without
limitation, (a) meter, use and/or connection fees, hook-up fees, or standby fees, and (b) penalties
for discontinued or interrupted service. Tenants use of electricity shall never exceed the
capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation, and Tenant shall not
install or use or permit the installation or use of any Lines in the Premises, except in
accordance with Paragraph 24 below or the Tenant Improvement Agreement. Any interruption or
cessation of utilities resulting from any causes, including any entry for repairs pursuant to this
Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of any area of the Project, shall not
render Landlord liable for damages to either person or property or for interruption or loss to
Tenants business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion
of Rental, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Tenant hereby
waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other Applicable Laws
permitting the termination of this Lease due to such failure or interruption. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant is prevented from using,
and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof as a consequence of a cessation of
utilities (i) not caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party and either within the reasonable control of
Landlord to correct or covered by rental interruption insurance then carried by Landlord or (ii)
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Indemnitee (each, a Utility
Cessation Event), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Utility Cessation Event, and if
such Utility Cessation Event continues for more than five (5) consecutive business days after
Landlords receipt of such notice (Utility Cessation Abatement Period), then the Basic Monthly
Rent and Tenants Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be abated
after expiration of the Utility Cessation Abatement Period and continuing for such time that Tenant
continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion
thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. Such right to abate
Basic Monthly Rent and Tenants Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes
shall be Tenants sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for a Utility Cessation Event;
provided, however, that if a Utility Cessation Event continues for nine (9) months after Landlords
receipt of notice thereof from Tenant, then Tenant shall thereafter have the right to terminate
this Lease by delivery of written notice of termination to Landlord at any time prior to cessation
of the Utility Cessation Event. Except in the event the Utility Cessation Event results from a
default by Landlord under this Lease, (1) Tenants termination shall constitute an election of
remedies, and (2) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in connection with such Utility
Cessation Event. The provisions of this Paragraph 10.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease until all claims within the scope of this Paragraph 10.1 are fully,
finally and absolutely barred by the applicable statutes
of limitations.
10.2 Controls. In the event any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Real Property or the Building promulgates or revises any law, ordinance or regulation or building,
fire or other code or imposes mandatory controls on Landlord or the Real Property or the Building
relating to the use or conservation of energy or utilities or the reduction of automobile or other
emissions (collectively Controls) or in the event Landlord is required to make alterations to the
Real Property or the Building in order to comply with such mandatory Controls, Landlord shall
comply with such Controls or make such alterations to the Real Property or the Building related
thereto. Such compliance and the making of such alterations shall not constitute an eviction of
Tenant, constructive or otherwise, or impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, including, but
not limited to, liability for consequential damages or loss of business by Tenant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof as a consequence of
Landlords compliance with Controls pursuant to this Paragraph 10.2 (each, a Control Compliance
Event), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Control Compliance Event, and if such
Control Compliance Event continues for more than five (5) consecutive business days after
Landlords receipt of such notice (Control Compliance Abatement Period), then the Basic Monthly
Rent and Tenants Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be abated
after expiration of the
20
Control Compliance Abatement Period and continuing for such time that
Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and
does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof, in the proportion that the
rentable area of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the
total rentable area of the Premises. Such right to abate Basic Monthly Rent and Tenants
Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be Tenants sole and exclusive
remedy at law or in equity for a Control Compliance Event; provided, however, that if a Control
Compliance Event continues for nine (9) months after Landlords receipt of notice thereof from
Tenant, then Tenant shall thereafter have the right to terminate this Lease by delivery of written
notice of termination to Landlord at any time prior to cessation of the Control Compliance Event.
Except in the event the Control Compliance Event results from a default by Landlord under this
Lease, (1) Tenants termination shall constitute an election of remedies, and (2) Landlord shall
have no liability to Tenant in connection with such Control Compliance Event.
10.3 Service Providers. Tenant may, at Tenants sole option, to the extent permitted
by Applicable Laws, elect to change, from time to time, the company or companies which provide
services (including electrical service, gas service, water, telephone and technical services) to
the Building, the Premises and/or its occupants. Further, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has
not and does not make any representations or warranties concerning the identity or identities of
the company or companies which provide services to the Real Property and the Premises or its
occupants, and that the choice of service providers and matters concerning the engagement and
termination thereof shall be in Tenants sole discretion.
11. SECURITY SERVICES AND ACCESS CONTROL.
11.1 Security Services. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to adopt such
policies, procedures and programs as it shall, in Landlords reasonable discretion, deem necessary
or appropriate for the security of the Project, and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord
in the enforcement of, and shall comply with, the policies, procedures and programs reasonably
adopted by Landlord insofar as the same pertain to Tenant or any Tenant Parties, provided that
Landlord shall not impose security requirements relating to the interior of the Premises. Tenant
acknowledges that the safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord from
time to time, if any, may not prevent theft or other criminal acts, or insure the safety of persons
or property, and Tenant expressly assumes the risk that any safety device, service or program may
not be effective or may malfunction or be circumvented. In all events and notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and the other Landlord Indemnitees shall not be
liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against the Landlord Indemnitees to the
maximum extent permitted by law, for (a) any unauthorized or criminal entry of third parties into
the Premises, or (b) any loss of property in and about the Premises by or from any unauthorized or
criminal acts of third parties, regardless of any action, inaction, failure, breakdown, malfunction
and/or insufficiency of the security services provided by Landlord Tenant shall obtain insurance
coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against criminal acts and other security losses.
11.2 Access. Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day,
seven (7) days a week. Tenant assumes responsibility for controlling access to the Premises and
may install its own security system, provided that Landlord shall at all times have access to the
Premises in the event of an emergency and as necessary to provide the services and perform the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 Restriction on Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay beyond ten
(10) business days following Landlords receipt of a Notice of Proposed Transfer pursuant to
Paragraph 12.2 below: (a) assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to
attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, by operation of law or
otherwise; (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof; or (c) permit the use of the Premises by
any persons (as referenced in Paragraph 28.14) other than Tenant and its employees (all of the
foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively
21
as Transfers and any Person to whom
any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a Transferee).
12.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer. If Tenant shall desire Landlords consent to any
Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (Notice of Proposed Transfer). Any such Notice
of Proposed Transfer shall include: (a) the proposed effective date which shall not be less than
thirty (30) days after the date of Tenants Notice of Proposed Transfer, (b) the portion of the
Premises to be Transferred (herein called the Subject Space), (c) the terms of the proposed
Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, a copy of
all documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, and an estimated calculation of the
Transfer Premium (as that term is defined in Paragraph 12.4 below) in connection with such
Transfer, (d) financial statements of the proposed Transferee for the three (3) year period
immediately preceding the Notice of Proposed Transfer (or, if the proposed Transferee has been in
existence for less than three (3) years, for such shorter period as may be applicable) certified by
an officer, partner or owner thereof and any other information reasonably necessary to enable
Landlord to determine the financial responsibility (including, without limitation, bank references
and contacts at other of Tenants funding sources) of the proposed Transferee, and a description of
the nature of such Transferees business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (e) such other
information as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its
approval or disapproval of a proposed Transfer within ten (10) business days after receipt of the
Notice of Proposed Transfer (including the information required above). If Landlord fails to
approve or disapprove the proposed Transfer within such ten (10) business day period, and such
failure continues for an additional five (5) business days after Tenants delivery of an additional
written notice to Landlord, then the proposed Transfer shall be deemed approved. Any Transfer made
without complying with this Paragraph shall, at Landlords option, be null, void and of no effect,
and/or shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant
consent, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, $1,000.00
towards Landlords review and processing expenses, plus any reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees
incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed Transfer, which shall in no event exceed
$2,500.00 per Transfer.
12.3 Reasonable Conditions. By way of example and without limitation, the parties
hereby agree that it shall be deemed to be reasonable under this Lease and under any Applicable
Laws for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where, in the good-faith judgment of
Landlord, one or more of the following apply (or where Landlord has not been provided with
sufficient information to determine that none of the following apply):
(a) The proposed Transferee does not have the financial strength and stability to perform all
of the applicable obligations of the Tenant under this Lease (as they apply to the Subject Space)
as and when they fall due; or
(b) The Transferee is of an unsavory character or reputation or is engaged in a business which
is not consistent with the quality of the Project; or
(c) At the time of the proposed Transfer, a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default
shall have occurred hereunder; or
(d) The proposed Transferee is a governmental entity, or is entitled, directly or indirectly,
to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, or is not subject to the service of process in, or the
jurisdiction of the courts of, the State of California, or holds any exemption from the payment of
ad valorem or other taxes which would prohibit Landlord from collecting from Tenant any amounts
otherwise payable under this Lease, unless such exemption results in a dollar-for-dollar reduction
in Landlords obligation to pay Real Property Taxes.
12.4 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto
which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any
Transfer Premium derived by Tenant from such Transfer. Transfer Premium shall mean all rent,
22
additional rent or other consideration paid by such Transferee for the Transfer (including, but not
limited to, payments in excess of fair market value for Tenants assets, trade fixtures, equipment
and other tangible personal property, but excluding any intangible property) in excess of the
Rental payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly basis during the Lease Term, and on a per
rentable square foot basis, if less than all of the
Premises is transferred), after deducting Permitted Transfer Costs. As used herein,
Permitted Transfer Costs means the actual costs incurred and paid by Tenant for (a) any leasing
commissions and reasonable legal fees and marketing expenses in connection with the Transfer,
tenant improvement allowances, and any moving allowances, and (b) and design and construction costs
in connection with any Alterations to the Subject Space made by Tenant in connection with the
Transfer, provided that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of bills or other documentation
substantiating such costs. If Tenant shall enter into multiple Transfers, the Transfer Premium
payable to Landlord shall be calculated independently with respect to each Transfer. The Transfer
Premium due Landlord hereunder shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives any
Transfer Premium from the Transferee. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the
right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any
Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any
Transfer shall be found to be understated, Tenant shall within twenty (20) days after demand pay
the deficiency, and if understated by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), Tenant shall pay
Landlords costs of such audit. The parties acknowledge that no Transfer Premium shall be payable
in connection with a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee.
12.5 Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph
12, in the case of a proposed sublease or other Transfer to any party other than a Permitted
Transferee where the Subject Space consists of the entirety of the Premises, and is for a term
equal to all or substantially all of the then remaining Lease Term, Landlord shall have the option,
by giving written notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenants Notice
of Proposed Transfer, to recapture the Premises. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate
this Lease as of the date stated in Tenants Notice of Proposed Transfer as the effective date of
the proposed Transfer (or, at Landlords option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or
its agent, in which case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter).
If Landlord recaptures the Premises and terminates this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right
to negotiate directly with Tenants proposed Transferee and to enter into a direct lease or
occupancy agreement with any such party on such terms as shall be acceptable to Landlord in its
sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant hereby waives any claims against Landlord related thereto,
including, without limitation, any claims for compensation or profit related to such lease or
occupancy agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, within five (5) business days
after receipt of Landlords recapture notice given pursuant to this Paragraph 12.5, withdraw its
request for consent to the Transfer. In that event, Landlords election to cancel and terminate
this Lease shall be null and void and of no force and effect.
12.6 Terms of Consent. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (a) the terms and
conditions of this Lease, including among other things, Tenants liability for the Subject Space,
and Rental with respect thereto, shall in no way be deemed to have been released, waived or
modified, (b) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or
the Transferee, (c) no Transferee (other than a Permitted Transferee as may be expressly permitted
hereunder) shall succeed to any rights provided in this Lease or any amendment hereto to extend the
Lease Term, expand the Premises, or lease additional space, any such rights being deemed personal
to Tenant, (d) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord promptly after execution, an executed copy of all
documentation pertaining to the Transfer, and (e) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlords request a
complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenants chief
financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has
derived and shall derive from such Transfer. In addition, if Landlord consents to a Transfer, but
the terms of the proposed Transfer materially change from those set forth in Tenants Notice of
Proposed Transfer, Tenant shall submit a new Notice of Proposed Transfer, requesting Landlords
consent, and the Subject Space shall again be subject to Landlords rights under Paragraph 12.5.
Each Transferee under an assignment of this Lease, other than Landlord, must expressly assume all
of the provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant thereafter to be
kept and performed. Any sublease hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of
this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any sublease, Landlord
23
shall
have the right to: (1) treat such sublease as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any
lawful means, or (2) require that the subtenant attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord
under any such sublease. If Tenant shall default and fail to cure within the time permitted for
cure under Paragraph 18.1, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized to direct any Transferee to
make all payments under or in connection with the
Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenants obligations under
this Lease) until such default is cured.
12.7 Subsequent Consents. Consent by Landlord to any Transfer made pursuant to this
Lease shall not operate to relieve Tenant from any covenant or obligation hereunder or be deemed to
be a consent to or relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlords consent to any subsequent Transfer by
Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant. No subtenant shall have the right to
further Transfer its interest in the Subject Space, except in accordance with this Paragraph 12.
12.8 Certain Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, but subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 12.9 below, the term Transfer shall also include (a) if Tenant is a partnership, the
withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of a general partner or a
majority of the partners, or a transfer of a majority of partnership interests, or the dissolution
of the partnership; (b) if Tenant is a limited liability company, the withdrawal or change,
voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, of a majority of members, or a transfer of a
majority of the membership interests, or the dissolution of the limited liability company; and (c)
if Tenant is a corporation, the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of
Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of 49% of the voting shares of
Tenant (other than transfers to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), or the sale,
mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of 49% of Tenants net assets. No
issuance of stock of Tenant in a public or private offering, issuance of option or warrants, or
sale on a public stock exchange of Tenants stock shall, provided the same are not made as a
subterfuge to evade the obligations and restrictions relating to Transfers set forth in this
Paragraph 12, be deemed to be a Transfer for purposes of this Lease or subject to the terms and
conditions of this Paragraph 12.
12.9 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Paragraph 12, as long as no Event of Default by Tenant has then occurred and is continuing, Tenant
may assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to
as a Permitted Transfer) to (a) an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by,
controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (b) any successor entity to Tenant by way of
merger, consolidation or other non-bankruptcy corporate reorganization, (c) an entity which
acquires all or substantially all of Tenants assets or stock, (d) an entity acquiring and
continuing Tenants business operations at or from the Premises, or (e) an entity with whom Tenant
is undertaking or will undertake a joint venture or similar joint research and development,
marketing, distribution, sales or development project at the Premises (collectively, Permitted
Transferees, and, individually, a Permitted Transferee); provided that (i) at least ten (10)
business days prior to the Transfer (or ten (10) business days after the Transfer if prior notice
of such Transfer is prevented by Applicable Laws or confidentiality restrictions), Tenant notifies
Landlord of such Transfer, and supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably
requested by Landlord regarding such Transfer or Permitted Transferee, including, but not limited
to, copies of the sublease or instrument of assignment and copies of documents establishing to the
reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the transaction in question is one permitted under this
Paragraph 12.9, (ii) at least ten (10) business days prior to the Transfer (or ten (10) business
days after the Transfer if prior notice of such Transfer is prevented by Applicable Laws or
confidentiality restrictions), Tenant furnishes Landlord with a written document executed by the
proposed Permitted Transferee in which, in the case of an assignment, such entity assumes all of
Tenants obligations under this Lease thereafter to be performed, and, in the case of a sublease,
such entity agrees to sublease the Subject Space subject to this Lease, (iii) in the case of an
assignment pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (d), or (e) above, the successor entity must have a net
worth (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except that intangible
assets such as goodwill, patents, copyrights, and trademarks shall be excluded in the calculation
(Net Worth)) at the time of the Transfer that is at least equal to the Net Worth of Tenant
immediately prior to such Transfer, and (iv) any such proposed Transfer is not, whether in a single
transaction or in a series of transactions, entered into as a subterfuge to evade the obligations
and restrictions relating to Transfers set forth in this Paragraph 12. Control, as used in this
Paragraph 12.9,
24
shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent
(51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of
its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.
For purposes of this Lease, the term Permitted Assignee shall mean a Permitted Transferee to
whom Tenant assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to this Lease, and which
assumes all of Tenants obligations under this Lease.
12.10 Tenant Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if
Tenant claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed its consent under
this Paragraph 12 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Paragraph 12, Tenants
sole remedies shall be declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, or an action
for compensatory monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without
limitation, any right provided under California Civil Code Section 1995.310 or other Applicable
Laws to terminate this Lease.
13. WAIVER; INDEMNIFICATION.
13.1 Waiver. Neither Landlord nor the other Landlord Indemnitees shall be liable to
Tenant, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord and such other Landlord Indemnitees, for any
injury to or death of any person or for loss of use of or damage to or destruction of property in
or about the Premises or the Project by or from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation,
earthquake or earth movement, gas, fire, oil, electricity or leakage from the roof, walls, basement
or other portion of the Premises or the Project, except only, with respect to any Landlord
Indemnitee and subject to the waiver of subrogation contained in Paragraph 14.5 below, (a) to the
extent any injury, death or damage is caused by (i) the negligence of such Landlord Indemnitee and
not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, (ii) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Landlord Indemnitee, or (iii) the criminal activity of such Landlord
Indemnitee, or (b) to the extent such limitation on liability is prohibited by Applicable Laws.
13.2 Tenant Indemnification. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, any
Security Holders, Landlords agents, the shareholders, constituent partners and other direct or
indirect owners of Landlord or any agent of Landlord, and all officers, directors and employees of
any thereof (collectively, Landlord Indemnitees), and each of them, harmless from and to protect

Tenants obligations set forth in this Lease; or (b) any injury or death of any person or damage to
or destruction of property occurring in or on the Premises, or (c) any injury or death of any
person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in, on or about any Common Areas, or

the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant,
or the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of Tenant or any
such person, in or on the Project by reason of Tenants occupancy of the Premises (each, a Tenant
Party and, collectively, Tenant Parties); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply
to the extent (i) the Claims arise from the negligence of Landlord or any other Landlord Indemnitee
and are not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, or arise from the
gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal activity of any Landlord Indemnitee, (ii) such
obligations are prohibited by Applicable Laws, or (iii) Landlord is required to indemnify Tenant
against such Claims under Paragraph 7.3(e) above. If any action or proceeding is brought against
any of the Landlord Indemnitees by reason of any such claim or liability, Tenant, upon notice from
Landlord, covenants to resist and defend at Tenants sole expense such action or proceeding by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenants obligations under this Paragraph 13 shall not
be construed as in any way restricting, limiting, or modifying Tenants insurance or other
obligations under this Lease. Further, Tenants compliance with the insurance requirements and
other
25
obligations of this Lease shall not in any way restrict, limit or modify Tenants obligations
under this Paragraph 13. The provisions of this Paragraph 13 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring or arising
prior to such termination, subject to applicable statutes of limitations.
13.3 Landlord Indemnification. Landlord agrees to protect, defend (with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Tenant) indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, Tenants agents, the
shareholders, constituent partners and other direct or indirect owners of Tenant or any agent of
Tenant and all contractors, officers, directors and employees of any of them (collectively, Tenant
Indemnitees), and each of them, harmless from and to protect and defend each Tenant Indemnitee
against any and all Claims to the extent caused by (a) the negligence of Landlord or any other
Landlord Indemnitee and not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, or
(b) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal activity of a Landlord Indemnitee.
13.4 Duty to Defend. Each partys duty to defend the other party and the other
Landlord Indemnitees and Tenant Indemnitees is separate and independent of such partys duty to
indemnify the Landlord Indemnitees and Tenant Indemnitees. The duty to defend includes claims for
which the Landlord Indemnitees or Tenant Indemnitees may be liable without fault or strictly
liable. The duty to defend applies regardless of whether the issues of negligence, liability,
fault, default, or other obligation on the part of Tenant Indemnitees or Landlord Indemnitees, as
the case may be, have been determined. The duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of
whether Landlord Indemnitees or Tenant Indemnitees (as applicable) have paid any sums or incurred
any detriment arising out of or relating (directly or indirectly) to any Claims. It is the express
intention of the parties that the Landlord Indemnitees and Tenant Indemnitees be entitled to obtain
summary adjudication or summary judgment regarding the other partys duty to defend such Landlord
Indemnitees and Tenant Indemnitees (as applicable) at any stage of any claim or suit within the
scope of this Paragraph.
14. INSURANCE.
14.1 Tenants Insurance. At Tenants expense, Tenant shall procure, carry and
maintain in effect throughout the Lease Term, in a form and with deductibles acceptable to Landlord
and with such insurance companies as are acceptable to Landlord (which companies shall have a
Bests rating of A- VIII or better), the following insurance coverages:
(a) Commercial General Liability insurance (and commercial umbrella insurance, if necessary to
provide required limits), at least as broad as the Insurance Services Office (ISO) occurrence
policy form CG 00 01 (11/85), or a substitute form providing equivalent coverage as reasonably
approved by Landlord, with limits of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate,
covering bodily injury, property damage and personal and advertising injury and including, but not
limited to, coverage for, premises and operations (including the use of owned and non-owned
equipment), and contractual liability (including tort liability of another party and Tenants
liability in Paragraph 13 above);
(b) Property insurance at least as broad as the most commonly available ISO Special Form
Causes of Loss (all risk) policy form CP 1030 with an agreed amount endorsement, covering
Tenants equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in, on or about the
Premises, including any Rooftop Equipment and the Generator, and including, without limitation,
coverage for vandalism, malicious mischief, and sprinkler leakage, in an amount equal to the
replacement value thereof (without deduction for depreciation);
(c) Workers compensation insurance, in accordance with Applicable Laws; and
(d) Loss of Income insurance and extra expense coverage in amounts as will reimburse Tenant
for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured
26
against by
prudent lessees in the business of Tenant, or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises
as a result of such perils.
14.2 Increased Coverage. Not more often than every three (3) years and upon not less
than sixty (60) days prior written notice, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may require
Tenant to increase the insurance limits set forth in Paragraphs 14.1(a) and 14.1(b) above, and/or
provide other
forms of insurance, but only if and to the extent that such increased amounts or forms of
insurance are then generally required by comparable owners of comparable buildings in the San Jose,
California market area.
14.3 General Requirements. All policies of commercial liability insurance so obtained
and maintained, including any umbrella liability insurance policies, shall (a) be carried in the
name of Tenant, (b) name Landlord, any Security Holders whose name and address have been previously
provided by written notice from Landlord to Tenant and Landlords designated agents who have an
insurable interest in Premises and whose name and address have been previously provided by written
notice from Landlord to Tenant as additional insureds, pursuant to an endorsement providing
coverage at least as broad as ISO form CG 2011 (01/96) or equivalent, (c) be the primary insurance
providing coverage for Landlord (any other liability insurance maintained by Landlord to be excess
and non-contributing), (d) contain a cross liability endorsement stating that the rights of
insureds shall not be prejudiced by one insured making a claim or commencing an action against
another insured, and (e) include a per location endorsement or equivalent reasonably acceptable
to Landlord so that the general aggregate and other limits apply separately and specifically to the
Premises. The insurance requirements in this Paragraph 14 or elsewhere in this Lease shall not in
any way limit, in either scope or amount, the indemnity obligations separately owed by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease, or the liability of Tenant for nonperformance of its obligations or for
loss or damage for which Tenant is responsible hereunder. No endorsement limiting or excluding a
required coverage is permitted.
14.4 Evidence of Coverage. All insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant
under this Lease shall provide that the insurer shall not cancel, materially reduce, or fail to
renew such coverage without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Prior to the
Commencement Date, and no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration any required
coverage, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the endorsements referred to in this Paragraph 14,
evidencing compliance with the insurance requirements hereunder. In the event Tenant does not
comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 14, and does not cure such failure within five (5)
days after receipt of a written request by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option and at Tenants
expense, purchase such insurance coverage to protect Landlord. The cost of such insurance shall be
paid to Landlord by Tenant, as additional rent, immediately upon demand therefor, together with
interest at the Interest Rate until paid.
14.5 Landlords Insurance. Subject to reimbursement as an Operating Expense in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4 hereof, Landlord shall procure and maintain in effect
throughout the Lease Term commercial general liability insurance, property insurance on the
Building (including the Tenant Improvements) and/or such other types of insurance as are normally
carried by reasonably prudent owners of commercial properties substantially similar to, and in the
vicinity of, the Project, including earthquake, flood and, to the extent the same is available at
commercially reasonable rates, terrorism insurance. Such coverages shall be in such amounts, from
such companies and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord may from time to time reasonably
determine, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to change, cancel, decrease
or increase any insurance coverages in respect of the Premises, add additional forms of insurance
as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary, and/or obtain umbrella or other policies covering both
the Premises and other assets owned by or associated with Landlord or its affiliates, in which
event the cost thereof shall be equitably allocated; provided, however, that Landlords property
insurance shall be at least as broad as the most commonly available ISO Special Form Causes of Loss
(all risk) policy form CP 1030 with an agreed amount endorsement, in an amount equal to the
replacement cost of the Building (exclusive of foundations, footings and other underground
improvements, but including the Tenant Improvements).
27
14.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other and their
respective agents, officer, employees and approved or Permitted Transferees on account of any and
all claims Landlord or Tenant may have against the other or their respective agents, officers,
employees and approved or Permitted Transferees for damage to property that arises out of or
incident to any peril which is actually insured against, which is required to be insured against
under this Lease, or which would normally be covered by so called all risk or special form
property insurance, without regard to the negligence or
willful misconduct of the entity or party so released or any other cause. Each party shall
have their property insurance policies issued in such form as to waive any right of subrogation as
might otherwise exist. This mutual waiver is in addition to any other waiver or release contained
in this Lease.
15. PROTECTION OF LENDERS AND GROUND LESSOR.
15.1 Lease Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to
all ground or underlying leases which may now or hereafter exist affecting the Building or the Real
Property, or both, and to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust in any amount or amounts
whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the Building or the Real Property, or both, or on
or against Landlords interest or estate therein (such mortgages, deeds of trust and leases are
referred to herein, collectively, as Superior Interests), all without the necessity of any
further instrument executed or delivered by or on the part of Tenant for the purpose of
effectuating such subordination; provided, however, that such subordination shall only be effective
upon Landlords delivery to Tenant of a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, in
a commercially reasonable form, and providing generally that, as long as there is no Event of
Default under this Lease, this Lease will not be terminated if such Security Holder acquires title
to the Building by reason of foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, provided that Tenant attorns to such Security Holder in accordance with its reasonable
requirements. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that there are no Superior Interests
affecting the Buildings or the Project as of the date by which this Lease has been executed by
Landlord and Tenant.
15.2 Mortgage Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Paragraph 15 or otherwise in this Lease, the holder of any Superior Interests now or hereafter
placed on or against the Building or the Real Property, or both (Security Holder) may at any time
subordinate such mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease in whole or in part, without any need to
obtain Tenants consent, by execution of a written document subordinating such mortgage or deed of
trust to this Lease to the extent set forth in such document and thereupon this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust to the extent set forth in such document without
regard to this Lease, such mortgage or deed of trust, or their respective dates of execution,
delivery and/or recording. In that event, to the extent set forth in such document, such mortgage
or deed of trust shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as would have existed if
this Lease had been executed, and a memorandum thereof recorded prior to the execution, delivery
and recording of such mortgage or deed of trust.
15.3 Financial Statements. If Tenants financial statements are not otherwise
publicly available and Landlord desires to finance, refinance, or sell any of the Building or Real
Property, then within ten (10) days after Landlords written request, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, or to any actual or prospective Security Holder that Landlord reasonably designates, such
financial statements as are reasonably required by such Security Holder to verify the financial
condition of Tenant (or any assignee, subtenant or guarantor of Tenant). All such financial
statements shall be held strictly confidential and used only for the purposes stated herein.
15.4 Default Notices to Security Holders. Tenant agrees to give any Security Holder,
by certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord by Tenant that is of such a
nature as to give Tenant a right to terminate or cancel this Lease, to reduce Rentals (if and to
the extent such reduction is not expressly allowed under this Lease), or to credit or offset any
amounts against future Rentals (if and to the extent such credit or offset is not expressly allowed
under this Lease), provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received notice of a written
request for same, including the address of such Security Holder. Tenant further agrees that, if
Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the
28
time provided for in this Lease, then
Tenant shall not exercise any right to terminate or cancel this Lease, unless and until such
Security Holder fails to cure such default within an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of
the notice of default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, such additional time as
may be necessary, provided that, within such thirty (30) days, such Security Holder has commenced
and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including commencement of
foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, if
necessary to effect such cure). Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which
such Security Holder is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other
proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property by reason of
Landlords bankruptcy. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 15.4 shall affect Tenants rights
to reduce Rentals and/or to credit or offset any amounts against future Rentals, if and to the
extent such reduction, credit or offset is expressly allowed under this Lease, nor shall anything
contained in this Paragraph 15.4 affect Tenants rights of termination set forth in Paragraph 19.4
below. Further, this Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rental or shorten
the Lease Term, or so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any material extent the rights
of Landlord, nor shall this Lease be canceled or surrendered (except as expressly allowed herein),
without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
or delayed), in each instance, of all Security Holders.
15.5 Lease Modifications. If any prospective Security Holder should require, as a
condition of any Superior Interest, a modification of the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall
approve and execute any such modifications within ten (10) days after request, provided no such
modification shall relate to the Rental payable hereunder or the length of the Lease Term or
otherwise materially alter the rights or increase the obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder.
15.6 Successor Landlords. Tenant agrees that if any Security Holder or any
foreclosure sale purchaser shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, the
successor landlord shall not be (a) liable for any action or omission of any prior Landlord under
this Lease; provided, however, that the Successor Landlord shall be obligated to cure all defaults
or breaches of Landlord of a continuing nature that can be cured by performing a service or making
a repair or replacement, or (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against
any prior Landlord that are not expressly set forth under this Lease, or (c) bound by any Rental
which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior Landlord that is not
expressly required to be paid in advance under this Lease, or (d) liable for any Deposit not
actually received by such successor landlord, or (e) bound by any future modification of this Lease
not consented to by such successor landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed) that has the effect of (i) reducing the Rentals owed by Tenant, (ii)
shortening or lengthening the Lease Term (except as expressly set forth herein), or increasing
Tenants rights under, any renewal or expansion option or right of first refusal or first option,
or (iii) increasing Landlords obligations under this Lease.
15.7 Rent Payment Notice. From and after Tenants receipt of written notice from a
Security Holder or from a receiver appointed pursuant to the terms of such Security Holders
Superior Interest (a Rent Payment Notice), Tenant shall pay all Rental under this Lease to such
Security Holder or as such Security Holder shall direct in writing. Tenant shall comply with any
Rent Payment Notice notwithstanding any contrary instruction, direction or assertion from Landlord.
A Security Holders delivery to Tenant of a Rent Payment Notice, or Tenants compliance therewith,
shall not be deemed to: (a) cause such Security Holder to succeed to or to assume any obligations
or responsibilities of Landlord under this Lease, all of which shall continue to be performed and
discharged solely by Landlord unless and until such Security Holder or a foreclosure sale purchaser
succeeds to Landlords interest hereunder, or (b) relieve Landlord of any obligations under this
Lease. Landlord irrevocably directs Tenant to comply with any Rent Payment Notice, notwithstanding
any contrary direction, instruction, or assertion by Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to rely on
any Rent Payment Notice.
16. ENTRY BY LANDLORD; RENOVATIONS.
16.1 Entry by Landlord. Upon not less than one (1) business days notice and subject
to Tenants reasonable security requirements (except in the event an emergency), Landlord shall
have the
29
right to enter the Premises to inspect them; to show the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees or, during the last 270 days of the Lease Term only, tenants; to post
notices of non-responsibility; and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the
Building as permitted or provided hereunder, all without abatement of Rental; and may erect
scaffolding and other necessary structures in or through the Premises or the Building where
reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed; provided, however, that any such
entrance or work shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenants use of the Premises. Provided that
Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of
Tenants business in connection with its entries into and/or work within the Premises, Tenant
hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with
Tenants
business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss
occasioned by such entry. For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and
retain a key and/or other access device with which to unlock all of the doors in, on and about the
Premises (excluding Tenants vaults, safes and similar areas designated in writing by Tenant in
advance and approved by Landlord); and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the
Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, in
accordance with this Paragraph 16.1 shall not be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful
entry into or a detainer of the Premises, or any portion thereof. Landlord shall not have the
right to post any for sale or for lease signs on the Real Property during the Lease Term.
16.2 Renovations. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord may during the Lease Term
renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the Renovations) the Parking Facilities and
Common Areas, and the structural portions of the Building; and, in connection with any Renovations,
Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building
and limit access to portions of the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in
the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlords actions in connection with
such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to
any abatement of Rental; provided, however, that Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to minimize the interference with Tenants use of the Premises resulting from the
Renovations. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any
direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenants business arising from the Renovations,
nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of
the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenants personal property or improvements resulting
from the Renovations or Landlords actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any
inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlords actions, provided that in
exercising its rights under this Paragraph, Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize interference with Tenants beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises.
17. REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. After the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease,
any movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, or other personal property left on the Premises
shall, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to be abandoned and, whether or not the property is
deemed abandoned, Landlord shall have the right to remove such property from the Premises and
charge Tenant for the removal and any restoration of the Premises as provided in Paragraph 8.1.
Landlord may, at its option, store Tenants property in a public warehouse at Tenants expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the provisions of this Paragraph 17 nor any other provision
of this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to care for or preserve any of Tenants
property left upon the Premises, and Tenant hereby waives and releases Landlord from any claim or
liability in connection with the removal of such property from the Premises and the storage thereof
and specifically waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 with respect to such
release. Landlords action or inaction with regard to the provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall
not be construed as a waiver of Landlords right to require Tenant to remove its property, restore
any damage to the Building caused by such removal, and make any restoration required pursuant to
Paragraph 8.1 hereof.
18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
18.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
(each, an Event of Default) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant:
30
(a) Tenant fails to pay any Basic Monthly Rental or any additional rent payable under
Paragraph 4 hereof as and when such rent becomes due and payable and such failure continues for
more than five (5) business days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; or
(b) Tenant fails to pay any additional rent or other amount of money or charge payable by
Tenant hereunder as and when such additional rent or amount or charge becomes due
and payable and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives
written notice thereof to Tenant; or
(c) Tenant fails to perform or breaches any agreement or covenant to be performed or observed
by Tenant under Paragraph 7.3 above and such failure or breach continues for more than ten (10)
days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if, by the
nature of such agreement or covenant, such failure or breach cannot reasonably be cured within such
period of ten (10) days, an Event of Default shall not exist as long as Tenant commences the curing
of such failure or breach within such period of ten (10) days and, having so commenced, thereafter
prosecutes such cure with diligence and dispatch to completion as soon as may be reasonably
practicable thereafter; or
(d) Tenant fails to deliver the estoppel certificate or the financial statements to Landlord
or a Security Holder, as the case may be, within the time periods required by Paragraph 28.3 and
Paragraph 28.4 below, and such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after
Tenants receipt of a second written notice from Landlord; or
(e) Tenant fails to perform or breaches any agreement or covenant of this Lease to be
performed or observed by Tenant (except for those described in clauses (a) through (d) above) as
and when performance or observance is due and such failure or breach continues for more than thirty
(30) days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if, by the
nature of such agreement or covenant, such failure or breach cannot reasonably be cured within such
period of thirty (30) days, an Event of Default shall not exist as long as Tenant commences with
due diligence and dispatch the curing of such failure or breach within twenty (20) days after
Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant and, having so commenced, thereafter prosecutes
such cure with diligence and dispatch to completion as soon as may be reasonably practicable
thereafter; or
(f) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease (or, if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more
than one person or entity, any partner of the partnership or such other person or entity) (i)
files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or
reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take
advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors relief law of any jurisdiction, (ii)
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) consents to the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to such person or
entity or with respect to any substantial part of their respective property, or (iv) takes action
for the purpose of any of the foregoing; or
(g) Without consent by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease (or, if Tenant is a partnership
or consists of more than one person or entity, any partner of the partnership or such other person
or entity), a court or government authority enters an order, and such order is not vacated within
sixty (60) days, (i) appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers
with respect to such person or entity or with respect to any substantial part of their respective
property, or (ii) constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or
reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take
advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors relief law of any jurisdiction, or (iii)
ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of such person or entity; or
(h) This Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder is levied upon under any attachment or
execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within sixty (60) days.
31
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any notices required to be given by Landlord under this
Paragraph 18.1 shall, in each case, be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required
under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as long as such notices are prepared
and served upon Tenant in accordance with Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
18.2 Landlords Termination Remedy. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall
have the right at any time to give a written termination notice to Tenant and, on the date
specified in such notice, Tenants right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall
terminate. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant:
(a) The worth at the time of award of all unpaid Rental which had been earned at the time of
termination;
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which all unpaid Rental which would have
been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which all unpaid Rental for the balance of
the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves
could be reasonably avoided; and
(d) All other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately
caused by Tenants failure to perform all of Tenants obligations under this Lease or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
The worth at the time of award of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above shall
be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Paragraph 3.2. The worth at
the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (c) above shall be 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%). For purposes of computing the amount of Rental hereunder that would have
accrued after the time of award, the amounts of Tenants obligations to pay increases in Operating
Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be projected based upon the average rate of increase, if
any, in such items from the Commencement Date through the time of award.
18.3 Lease Continuation Remedy. Even though an Event of Default by Tenant has
occurred, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenants
right to possession, and Landlord shall have all of its rights and remedies, including the right,
pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4, to recover all Rental as it becomes due under
this Lease, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations.
Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a
receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlords interest under this Lease shall not
constitute a termination of Tenants right to possession unless written notice of termination is
given by Landlord to Tenant.
18.4 Waiver of Forfeiture. Tenant hereby waives California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1179, California Civil Code Section 3275, and all such similar laws now or hereinafter
enacted which would entitle Tenant to seek relief against forfeiture in connection with any
termination of this Lease, provided that this waiver shall not be effective with respect to the
first (but only the first) non-monetary default (i.e., an Event of Default not set forth in
Paragraph 18.1(a) or 18.1(b) above) that results in the termination of this Lease.
18.5 Landlords Default.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in
default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this
Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt by
32
Landlord of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlords alleged failure to
perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty
(30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease
if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues the same to completion. Except as expressly provided in this Lease or except in the case
of constructive eviction (as evidenced by a final, unappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction), in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a
result of Landlords default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease; and, subject
to the foregoing exceptions, Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and
hereby agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein, Tenants remedies for default hereunder
and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or
injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies,
Tenant will, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 15.4 above, give notice and an
opportunity to cure to any Security Holder of which Tenant has been given notice.
(b) If Landlord is in default pursuant to Paragraph 18.5(a), and (i) such default materially
and adversely impairs Tenants ability to use the Premises or any material portion thereof for the
operation of its business pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (ii) poses a material and
imminent risk to the health or safety of persons, then Tenant may perform such obligations subject
to the following terms and conditions:
(i) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any Security Holder of which Tenant has been given
notice a written notice (Self-Help Notice) of Tenants intention to perform such obligations,
which Self-Help Notice shall indicate Tenants intention to exercise its self-help rights and to
perform such obligations which are otherwise Landlords responsibility hereunder (it being
understood that no such additional notice or additional Landlord cure period shall be required if
the default poses a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons). If Landlord
fails to commence to cure its failure to perform within five (5) business days after receipt of the
Self-Help Notice, Tenant may take whatever action is reasonably necessary to perform such
obligations;
(ii) All work performed by Tenant or its agents in accordance with this Paragraph 18.5 must be
performed in accordance with Paragraph 8 above (except that the prior approvals by Landlord set
forth in Paragraph 8 shall not be required, nor shall Tenant be required to pay the supervision fee
to Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 8.4 above, nor shall Tenant be required to pay the supervision
fee to Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 8.4 above, nor shall Tenant have any restoration obligation
under Paragraph 8.5 above) at prevailing and competitive rates (taking into account the scope of
the services, the financial strength, reputation and quality of Tenants selected contractor, the
urgency of the situation and the requirement that harmonious labor relations be maintained within
the Project) and so as to minimize interference with the rights of other occupants of the Project
(if applicable); and
(iii) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of such performance incurred in
accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 18.5 within thirty (30) days after Tenants submission
to Landlord of receipted invoices therefor (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation).
If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within such thirty (30)-day period, then Tenant may withhold
from future Rentals due hereunder the sum owed Tenant, until Tenant is reimbursed in full for the
sum plus interest at the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall deliver notice
to Landlord (and any Security Holder of which Tenant has been given notice) a written notice of
Tenants intent to set-off under this subparagraph (iii) at least ten (10) business days prior to
exercising its right of set-off and Landlord may deliver to Tenant a good faith written objection
before the expiration of such notice period, (1) setting forth with reasonable particularity
Landlords reasons for its claim that Tenant is not entitled to exercise its rights pursuant to
this subparagraph and (2) submitting the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with
Paragraph 34 below. If and to the extent Landlord property objects and submits the dispute to
arbitration in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Tenant shall not exercise such rights
unless and until the Arbitrator (as defined in Paragraph 34.2 below) determines that Tenant has the
right to exercise such set-off rights.
33
18.6 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to
all other remedies available to the parties at law or in equity by statute or otherwise.
19. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.
19.1 Repair Obligations. If the Premises are damaged by fire, earthquake or other
peril (a Casualty), Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 19.2 and 19.3 below,
proceed with reasonable promptness to repair such damage and restore the Premises to substantially
the same condition as existed before the Casualty (collectively, Restore or Restoration);
provided, however, that any such Restoration shall be subject to modifications required by zoning
or building codes and other Applicable Laws, or as may be required because Restoration to
substantially the same condition as existed before the Casualty, in light of the type and/or amount
of damage and then current construction means, methods and procedures for similar types of
Restoration, is not reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no
obligation with respect to, and if Landlord elects or is required to perform any Restoration
hereunder, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall, repair and replace at its sole cost all of
Tenants equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property in the Premises, including,
without limitation, any telecommunications wires, cables and related devices located in or serving
the Premises.
19.2 Termination Rights. In the event of any of the following circumstances, Landlord
may elect either to terminate this Lease or to perform the Restoration, as more particularly
described in Paragraph 19.3 below:
(a) If the Casualty affects more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage of
the Premises and the Restoration cannot, in Landlords good faith judgment (as determined in
accordance with Paragraph 19.3 below), be completed within one (1) year following the date of the
Casualty (when such Restoration is made without the payment of overtime or other premiums), or
(b) If the Casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and either (i)
the cost of Restoration will exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and the remaining
portion of the Lease Term after the Restoration will be less than six (6) months or (ii) the
Restoration will take longer than ninety (90) days to complete, in either case as reasonably
determined by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to
this Paragraph 19.2(b) if Tenant, at the time of such damage, has the right to extend the Lease
Term pursuant to Paragraph 29 below, and Tenant exercises such Extension Option not later than the
earlier to occur of (1) the then applicable Exercise Deadline set forth in Paragraph 29.2 below
or (2) thirty (30) days following the delivery to Tenant of Landlords Casualty Notice (as defined
in Paragraph 19.3 below), or
(c) If the Casualty is not covered by the insurance Landlord is required to carry under this
Lease or any insurance Landlord actually carries and the cost of Restoration will exceed Three
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) (exclusive of any deductible); provided, however, that
Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 19.2(c), if (i) Tenant agrees,
within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of Landlords Casualty Notice, to fund the amount in
excess of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) and, (ii) within fifteen (15) days
thereafter, Tenant shall promptly deposit the excess in a construction trust account set up by
Landlord in a financial or other institution selected by Landlord (subject to Tenants reasonable
approval), in which event Landlord shall proceed with the Restoration as if the Casualty had been
insured. Landlords withdrawals from the trust account shall be proportionate and concurrent to
Landlords schedule of payments to its contractors and paid in payment of such contractors bills,
or
(d) If insurance proceeds sufficient to complete the Restoration are not available due to the
exercise of legal rights of any Security Holder to collect such proceeds, or
34
(e) If because of Applicable Laws the Restoration cannot be completed except in a
substantially different structural or architectural form than existed before the Casualty.
19.3 Landlords Repair Notice. Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, but
in all events within ninety (90) days of the date of a Casualty, provide a written notice to Tenant
(Landlords Casualty Notice) indicating Landlords election (a) to perform the Restoration,
including Landlords good faith estimate (which shall be based on Landlords consultation with a
reputable architect and/or contractor experienced in similar types of Restoration) of the period to
complete the Restoration (Estimated Restoration Period), in which event this Lease will continue
in full force and effect, subject to reduction of the Basic Monthly Rental as provided in Paragraph
19.4 below, or (b) to terminate this Lease as of a date specified in Landlords Casualty Notice,
which date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such
notice, unless Tenant exercised its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 19.4.
Landlord Casualty notice shall include reasonably detailed back-up documentation (e.g., proposed
construction schedule) supporting the Estimated Restoration Period. If Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease as provided above, this Lease and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall
terminate on the termination date specified in Landlords Casualty Notice, and, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 19.5 below, the Basic Monthly Rental and Tenants Percentage Share of
Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be paid up to the date of such termination,
Landlord hereby agreeing to refund to Tenant any Rental theretofore paid for any period of time
subsequent to the termination date. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall
not, except as expressly in Paragraph 19.4 below, be entitled to terminate this Lease, if the
Restoration is not in fact completed within the Estimated Restoration Period, so long as Landlord
proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete the Restoration.
19.4 Tenants Right to Terminate. In the event of any Casualty and if Landlord does
not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease as provided above,
Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances,
in which event Tenant must make such election to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written
notice of such election not later than thirty (30) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords
Casualty Notice:
(a) Landlords good faith estimate of the time required to complete the Restoration as set
forth in Landlords Casualty Notice is greater than one (1) year from the date of the Casualty, or
(b) The Casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and such damage
materially impairs Tenants use of the damaged portion of the Premises, or
(c) It is not reasonably practicable for Landlord to Restore the Premises to substantially the
same condition as existed before the Casualty and, as a result, the changes to the Premises would
materially impair Tenants ability to use the Premises for Tenants business, or
(d) Modifications are required to be made to the Premises following a Casualty pursuant to
then applicable zoning or building codes or other Applicable Laws and such modifications to the
Premises would materially impair Tenants ability to use the Premises for Tenants business.
The effective date of any given termination shall be specified in Tenants termination notice,
and shall not be earlier than the date of such notice, or later than one hundred twenty (120) days
after the date of such notice. In addition, if the Restoration is not substantially complete as of
the end of the later of (i) one (1) year following the date of the Casualty or (ii) the Estimated
Restoration Period (Restoration Deadline), as extended for delays resulting from a failure to
promptly receive insurance proceeds or other Force Majeure events described in Paragraph 28.21
below or delays caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, then Tenant may deliver written notice to
Landlord that Landlord has thirty (30) days to complete the Restoration; provided, however, that
the Restoration Deadline may not be extended for more than one hundred eighty (180) days by reason
of a failure to promptly receive insurance proceeds
35
or other Force Majeure events described in
Paragraph 28.21 below. If after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period Landlord has not
completed the Restoration, then Tenant may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord at any time
thereafter until the Restoration is substantially completed.
19.5 Rent Abatement. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease under
Paragraph 19.3 above, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, provided that if such
damage is not the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Tenant shall be
entitled to a reduction of Basic Monthly Rental, Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes in the
proportion that the area of the Premises rendered untenantable by such damage bears to the total
area of the Premises. Tenant shall be entitled to such rent abatement from the date of the
Casualty for as long as any portion of the Premises remains untenantable due to the Casualty.
Tenants right to a reduction of Rentals and to terminate this Lease under this Paragraph 19 shall
be Tenants sole remedy in connection with any such Casualty. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation or damages from Landlord for damage to any of Tenants leasehold improvements or
personal property, for loss of use of the Premises or any part thereof, for damage to Tenants
business or profits, for any disturbance caused by a Casualty, for or in connection with any
Restoration hereunder, or for any direct, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not caused
by the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitees due to, arising out of, or as a result of
a Casualty.
19.6 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this
Paragraph 19, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and
all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises or the Building, and any statute
or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, subsection 2 of Section
1932, subsection 4 of Section 1933, and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, with
respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express
agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect,
shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the
Premises or the Building.
20. EMINENT DOMAIN.
20.1 Lease Termination. If all of the Premises shall be taken by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof (a
Taking), this Lease shall terminate on the date when title or the right to possession vests in
the condemnor.
20.2 Partial Taking. If (a) a part of the Premises shall be subject to a Taking; and
such partial Taking materially impairs Tenants ability to use the Premises for Tenants business,
or (b) all or a part of the parking areas shall be subject to a Taking, and the number of Tenants
parking stalls is reduced by more than ten percent (10%) and Landlord is unable to furnish Tenant
with comparable substitute parking spaces in the vicinity of the Project. then Tenant may terminate
this Lease as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or the date an
order of immediate possession is issued, by giving Landlord written notice thereof within thirty
(30) days after Tenant receives written notice of the Taking. If this Lease is not terminated
pursuant to this Paragraph 20.2, then (i) Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to an
architectural whole, excluding the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, (ii) this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as to said portion of the Premises remaining, (iii) the Basic
Monthly Rental payable from the date of the Taking shall be reduced in the same proportion as the
area of the Premises taken bears to the total area of the Premises, and (iv) if, following the
Taking, the Building shall be occupied by more than one tenant (e.g., the portion of the Building
subject to the Taking is subsequently occupied by governmental authority or its assignee), then
Tenants Proportionate Share shall be adjusted to equal a fraction, the numerator of which equals
the rentable area of the Premises following the Taking and the denominator of which equals the
total rentable area of the Building. Such notice shall specify the date of termination which shall
be not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of said notice.
36
20.3 Temporary Condemnation. Upon a temporary condemnation not extending beyond the
lesser of one hundred eighty (180) days or the remainder of the Lease Term (or any applicable
Extension Term), this Lease shall remain in effect, Tenant shall continue to pay all Rentals and
Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation with respect to the Premises. If a
temporary condemnation is for a period which extends beyond the period described in this Paragraph
20.3, then such
condemnation shall be governed by Paragraphs 20.1 and 20.2, as applicable, and any award shall
be distributed in accordance with Paragraph 20.4 below.
20.4 Compensation. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 20.3 and in this
Paragraph 20.4 below, all compensation awarded or received in connection with a Taking or
conveyance described in this Paragraph 20 shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord any and all elements of said compensation which Tenant would, in the absence of
said assignment, have been entitled to receive. Specifically, and without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, said assignment is intended to include: (a) the bonus value represented by the
difference, if any, between Rental under this Lease and market rent for the unexpired Lease Term,
(b) the value of the Tenant Improvements to the Premises, whether said improvements were paid for
by Landlord or by Tenant, and (c) the value of any and all other items and categories of property
for which payment of compensation may be made in any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such assignment by Tenant shall not include, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive,
any award of compensation for (i) loss of or damage to the goodwill of Tenants business (but only
to the extent the same does not constitute bonus value), (ii) subject to the rights of any
Security Holder to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the value (allocable to the remainder
of the Lease Term), if any, specifically attributable by the condemning authority to any
Alterations installed at Tenants expense that are not removable, and the value of Tenants
personal property and any trade fixtures that Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, and
(iii) any moving or relocation expenses which Tenant is entitled under Applicable Laws to recover
directly from the public agency which acquires the Premises.
20.5 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives Sections 1265.110 through 1265.160 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.
21. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
21.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee
of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a
surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord.
The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not
constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the
keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be
entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have
been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether
accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the
option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies
affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.
21.2 Condition of Premises. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 21, quit
and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, reasonable wear
and tear, damage caused by Casualty and Taking, and repairs which are specifically made the
responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall, at Tenants sole cost and expense, have performed (or
caused to be performed) the following to Landlords reasonable satisfaction: (a) all of Tenants
Repair Obligations pursuant to Paragraph 9.1 above, including, without limitation, the repair of
all interior walls of the Premises, if damaged, and (b) all carpets shall be shampooed and cleaned,
and all floors cleaned waxed; and Tenant shall have caused to be performed, at Tenants sole cost
and expense, all such Building Systems, including all HVAC equipment, to be audited (with a copy to
Landlord), serviced and placed in good order and condition by Tenants HVAC Contractor (as defined
in Paragraph 9.1(b) above), reasonable wear and
37
tear, damage caused by Casualty and Taking and
repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. If Tenant
fails to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Paragraph 21.2,
then, in addition to all of Landlords other rights and remedies, Landlord may, but need not,
perform the required repairs, replacements and other work in and to the Premises, and Tenant shall
pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly
established for the Project) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees
and other costs or expenses arising from Landlords involvement with such work, within ten (10)
days after receipt of an invoice therefor.
21.3 Removal of Property. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed
from the Premises the following items, repairing all damage (ordinary wear and tear excepted)
caused by the installation or removal of any of the following items: (a) all debris and rubbish,
(b) such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work,
movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed
by Tenant at its expense in the Premises or as part of the Tenant Improvements, including any
Communications Equipment (as defined in Paragraph 30.2 below), (c) any Alterations that Landlord
timely requires to be removed pursuant to Paragraph 8.5 above, (d) any Lines that Landlord requires
to be removed pursuant to Paragraph 24.3, and (e) any signage required to be removed pursuant to
Paragraph 27.1. If Tenant does not timely remove such property, then Tenant shall be conclusively
presumed to have, at Landlords election: (i) conveyed such property to Landlord without
compensation or (ii) abandoned such property, and Landlord may dispose of or store any part thereof
in any manner at Tenants sole cost, without waiving Landlords right to claim from Tenant all
expenses arising out of Tenants failure to remove the property, and without liability to Tenant or
any other person. Landlord shall have no duty to be a bailee of any such personal property. If
Landlord elects to consider such property abandoned, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the
costs of: (1) removal of any such Alterations or personal property, (2) storage, transportation,
and disposition of the same, and (3) repair and restoration of the Premises. Except as expressly
provided in this Lease, including the Tenant Improvement Agreement, Tenant shall have no obligation
to remove any Tenant Improvements shown on the Preliminary Space Plan (as defined in the Tenant
Improvement Agreement) upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
21.4 Survival. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive the
expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant contained in this Paragraph 21 shall
survive the expiration of the Lease Term or any earlier termination of this Lease.
22. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of this Lease with
the written consent of Landlord delivered to Tenant shall be construed to be a tenancy from month
to month at the Basic Monthly Rental in effect on the date of such expiration or termination on the
terms, covenants and conditions herein specified so far as applicable. Any holding over after the
expiration or other termination of this Lease without the written consent of Landlord shall be
construed to be a tenancy at sufferance on all the terms set forth herein, except that (a) for the
first 90 days of the holding over, the Basic Monthly Rental shall be an amount equal to one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the Basic Monthly Rental payable by Tenant immediately prior to such
holding over; and (b) thereafter, the Basic Monthly Rental shall be an amount equal to one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the Basic Monthly Rental payable by Tenant immediately prior to such
holding over. Acceptance by Landlord of Rental after the expiration or termination of this Lease
shall not constitute a consent by Landlord to any such tenancy from month to month or result in any
other tenancy or any renewal of the term hereof. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant holds over
without Landlords consent, such holding over may compromise or otherwise affect Landlords ability
to enter into new leases with prospective tenants regarding the Premises. Therefore, if Tenant
fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, then, in
addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded
upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. The
provisions of this Paragraph are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlords right to re-entry or
other rights hereunder or provided by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary contained herein, Landlord
38
agrees that, if Tenant gives Landlord written notice at least
one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the Lease Term, then Tenant may hold over in
the Premises for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, on the same terms and conditions as
applicable during the last month of the Lease Term.
23. RESERVED.
24. COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER LINES.
24.1 Tenants Rights. Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any
communications or computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively the Lines) at the
Building in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlords prior written
consent, and use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and
comply with all of the other provisions of Paragraph 8 (such consent and approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), (b) any such installation, maintenance,
replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Applicable Laws and good work practices, (c) if
Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal
insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal
background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated
to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, (d) Tenants rights shall be subject
to the rights of any regulated telephone company, and (e) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection
therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or
serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time
in violation of any Applicable Laws, within ten (10) days after notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Lines that constitute part of the Tenant Improvements shall be approved or
disapproved by Landlord in connection with, and subject to the time periods governing, its approval
or disapproval of the Final Working Drawings pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement.
24.2 Reserved.
24.3 Removal; Line Problems. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Paragraph 8.1, Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any or all Lines installed
by or for Tenant within or serving the Premises upon expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease, provided Landlord notifies Tenant prior to or within thirty (30) days following such
expiration or sooner termination. Any Lines not required to be removed pursuant to this Paragraph
shall, at Landlords option, become the property of Landlord (without payment by Landlord). If
Tenant fails to remove such Lines as required by Landlord, or violates any other provision of this
Paragraph, Landlord may, after twenty (20) days written notice to Tenant, remove such Lines or
remedy such other violation, at Tenants expense (without limiting Landlords other remedies
available under this Lease or Applicable Laws). Tenant shall not, without the prior written
consent of Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in each instance,
grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security
interest or lien granted without Landlords written consent shall be null and void. Except to the
extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlords agents,
contractors, or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord
does not warrant that the Tenants use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively
called Line Problems): (a) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (b) any
failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenants requirements, or (c) any shortages, failures, variations,
interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement,
use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the Project, by any failure of the
environmental conditions or the power supply for the Building to conform to any requirements for
the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other
cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction
of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rental, or relieve Tenant from
performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for
damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising
from any Line Problems.
25. PARKING.
39
25.1 Tenants Parking Spaces. Landlord shall provide Tenant, without additional
charge, with the right to use the number of self-park parking spaces set forth in Paragraph J of
the Summary of Lease Terms (six hundred seventy-six (676)) on the surface parking area shown on
Exhibit A. At Tenants request, up to a maximum of twenty (20) of said six hundred
seventy-six (676) parking spaces shall be designated by Landlord for visitor parking, in a location
mutually and reasonably agreed upon by the parties. The use of such spaces shall be for the
parking of motor vehicles used by Tenant, its officers and employees only, and shall be subject to
all Applicable Laws and the reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time
for the use of the Parking Facilities. Parking spaces may not be assigned or transferred separate
and apart from this Lease, and upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenants
rights with respect to all leased parking spaces shall immediately terminate. Tenant and the other
Tenant Parties shall not interfere with the rights of Landlord or others entitled to similar use of
the Parking Facilities.
25.2 Landlord Control. The Parking Facilities shall be subject to the reasonable
control and management of Landlord, who may, from time to time, establish, modify and enforce
reasonable rules and regulations with respect thereto that do not in any way unreasonably interfere
with Tenants and its agents, employees and contractors access to and operations on the Premises.
Landlord reserves the right to change, reconfigure, or rearrange the parking areas, to reconstruct
or repair any portion thereof, and to restrict or eliminate the use of any Parking Facilities and
do such other acts in and to such Parking Facilities as reasonably necessary without such actions
being deemed an eviction of Tenant or a disturbance of Tenants use of the Premises and without
Landlord being deemed in default hereunder; provided that Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize (to the extent consistent with Applicable Laws) the extent and
duration of any resulting interference with Tenants parking rights. The Parking Facilities shall
be provided to Tenant at no additional charge to Tenant.
26. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants, in lieu of any implied covenant of quiet possession or
quiet enjoyment, that so long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and conditions set
forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises without
hindrance or interference from Landlord or those claiming through Landlord, and subject to the
covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease.
27. SIGNS.
27.1 Signage Rights. Tenant shall not place on any portion of the Premises any sign,
placard, lettering, banner, displays, graphic or other advertising or communicative material which
is visible from the exterior of the Building without Landlords prior written approval, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, that Tenant shall be
entitled, without additional charge, to install (a) lobby and other interior signage that is
visible from the exterior of the Building, provided the same is incidental to Tenants business in
the Premises and does not adversely reflect on the dignity or character of the Project as a
first-class office project (Tenants Interior Signs) and (b) the maximum backlit Building top
signage (estimated to be two (2) sides of the Building), Building entry signage, roof signage and
monument signage (collectively, Tenants Exterior Signs; and Tenants Interior Signs and Tenants
Exterior Signs are, collectively, Tenants Signs) in accordance with all Applicable Laws and all
Underlying Documents. The material, typeface, graphic format and proportions of Tenants Exterior
Signs, as well as the precise location of Tenants Exterior Signs and method of installation, shall
be subject to Landlords approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all approvals for Tenants Signs and for
obtaining and installing Tenants Signs. The failure of Tenant to obtain such approvals shall not
release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Any approved Tenants Signs shall
strictly conform to all Applicable Laws and all Underlying Documents and shall be installed and
removed at Tenants expense. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain Tenants Signs in good
condition and repair during the Lease Term. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant at its sole cost shall remove all of Tenants Signs and repair any and all damage
caused to the Building and/or Project (including and fading or discoloration) by Tenants Signs
and/or the removal of Tenants Signs from the Building and/or Project, ordinary wear and tear
excepted.
40
27.2 Rights Personal to Tenant. Tenants Signage Rights are personal to, and may be
exercised only by, the Original Tenant, a Permitted Assignee or any other Transferee approved by
Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 12 above who occupies at least one-third (1/3) of the rentable area
of the Building, provided that, in Landlords commercially reasonable judgment, the Transferee does
not adversely reflect on the dignity or character of the Project as a first-class office project,
and not by any other assignee, sublessee or other Transferee of Tenants interest in this Lease,
and such rights may be exercised only so long as the Original Tenant or any Transferee permitted to
exercise such rights as provided above continues to occupy at least one-third (1/3) of the rentable
area of the Building.
28. MISCELLANEOUS.
28.1 Limitation of Landlords Liability. Any liability of Landlord (including,
without limitation, Landlords direct or indirect partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, or
agents, and the officers, directors, members and employees of Landlord or any such other person)
(collectively, Landlord Parties) to Tenant under this Lease shall be limited to Landlords
interest in the Building and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the recovery of any
judgment, it being intended that neither the Landlord Parties nor any Tenant Party shall be
personally liable for any deficiency or judgment under this Lease. For purposes of this Paragraph
28.1, Landlords interest in the Building shall include rents paid by tenants, insurance
proceeds, condemnation proceeds, and proceeds from the sale of the Building (collectively, Owner
Proceeds); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to recover Owner Proceeds from any
Landlord Party (other than Landlord) or any other third party after they have been distributed or
paid to such party; provided further, however, that nothing in this sentence shall diminish any
right Tenant may have under Applicable Laws, as a creditor of Landlord, to recover Owner Proceeds
from a third party on the grounds that such third party obtained such Owner Proceeds when Landlord
was insolvent or in a transfer that was preferential or fraudulent as to Landlords creditors.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for loss of or
damage to artwork, currency, jewelry, bullion, unique or valuable documents, securities or other
valuables, or for other property not in the nature of ordinary fixtures, furnishings and equipment
used in general administrative and executive office activities and functions. Wherever in this
Lease Tenant (a) releases Landlord from any claim or liability, (b) waives or limits any right of
Tenant to assert any claim against Landlord or to seek recourse against any property of Landlord or
(c) agrees to indemnify Landlord against any matters, the relevant release, waiver, limitation or
indemnity shall run in favor of and apply to Landlord, its direct or indirect constituent
shareholders, partners, members or other owners of Landlord or its directors, officers, and
employees of Landlord and each such constituent shareholder, partner, member or other owner.
Further, in no event shall Landlord or Landlord Parties be liable under any circumstances for any
consequential damages for injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenants business, including
but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity,
loss of goodwill, or loss of use, however occurring.
28.2 Sale by Landlord. Landlord has the right to transfer all or part of its interest
in the Real Property, the Project and in this Lease. Upon a transfer of all of Landlords interest
in the Real Property or Project, provided that the transferee expressly assumes in writing the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease (with respect to the Project so transferred) required to
be performed from and after the date of transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all
further liability thereafter first accruing under this Lease and Tenant agrees to attorn to the
transferee and to look solely to the transferee for the performance of Landlords obligations
thereafter first accruing under this Lease after the date of transfer; provided, however, that if
Tenant provides Landlord with a Deposit or other security for Tenants performance of its
obligations hereunder, and Landlord does not transfer, or provide a credit with respect to, such
security to the grantee or transferee of Landlords interest in the Project, Landlord shall remain
liable to Tenant for such security.
28.3 Estoppel Letter. Tenant and Landlord shall, at any time and from time to time
within ten (10) business days following request from the other party or a Security Holder, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party or such Security Holder a statement in writing, (a)
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the
nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and
effect), (b) certifying that
41
there are not, to the responding partys knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other party
hereunder, and that the responding party has no defenses to or offsets against its obligations
under this Lease, or specifying such defaults, defenses or offsets if any are claimed, (c)
certifying the date that Tenant entered into occupancy of the Premises and that Tenant is open for
business in the Premises, (d) certifying the amount of the Basic Monthly Rental and the Rental
payable under Paragraph 4.2 and the date to which Rental is paid in advance, if any, and certifying
that Tenant is entitled to no rent abatement or other economic concessions not specified in this
Lease (e) evidencing the status of this Lease as may be required either by a lender making a loan
affecting, or a purchaser of, the Premises, the Building, the Real Property or any interest
therein, (f) certifying the amount of the Deposit, if any, (g) certifying that the leasehold
improvements to be constructed in the Premises by Landlord, if any, are completed (or specifying
any obligations of Landlord respecting such leasehold improvements), and (h) certifying such other
matters relating to this Lease and/or the Premises as may be requested by a lender making a loan to
Landlord or a purchaser of the Premises, the Building, the Real Property or any interest therein.
Any such statement may be relied upon by, and shall upon the requesting partys request be
addressed to, any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Real Property
or any interest therein. The responding partys failure to deliver said statement in the time
required, and the failure to respond within five (5) days after a second written notice is received
by the responding party, shall be conclusive upon the responding party that: (1) this Lease is in
full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party,
(2) there are no uncured defaults in requesting partys performance and the responding party has no
right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rental under this Lease and (3) no more than one
months Basic Monthly Rental has been paid in advance. In no event shall any estoppel certificate
delivered hereunder affect the rights or obligations of Landlord or Tenant as between each other.
28.4 Financial Statements. Tenant shall be obligated to deliver its financial
statements to Landlord if and only to the extent required under Paragraph 15.3 above.
28.5 Right of Landlord To Perform. All terms and covenants of this Lease to be
performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by Tenant at Tenants expense and
without any reduction of Rental, except as expressly set forth herein. If an Event of Default by
Tenant has occurred or in the event of an emergency (i.e., imminent threat to life or safety or the
structural elements of the Building, or an event resulting from Tenants [or any Tenants Partys]
failure to perform or observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions set forth in this Lease, if
such failure has an imminent and material adverse effect on another tenant of the Project, where
Tenant has failed to correct the situation within ten (10) days or such shorter time as is
appropriate under the circumstances), Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any
obligation of Tenant hereunder, may make any such payment or perform any such other term or
covenant on Tenants part to be performed but shall not be obligated to do so, provided that, in
the event of an emergency, Landlord shall use best efforts to provide Tenant with prior notice of
any such action, which may be telephonically or by e-mail, and a reasonable opportunity to correct
the situation before Landlord takes such action. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary
costs of such performance by Landlord, together, in the case of an Event of Default, with interest
thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment or performance by Landlord, shall be
paid (and Tenant covenants to make such payment) to Landlord promptly after written demand by
Landlord, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same
rights and remedies in the event of non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of failure by
Tenant in the payment of Rental hereunder. Any work performed by Landlord pursuant to this
Paragraph 28.5 shall be performed at prevailing and competitive rates (taking into account the
scope of the services, the financial strength, reputation and quality of Landlords selected
contractor, the urgency of the situation and the requirement that harmonious labor relations be
maintained within the Project). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall take no action
pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 28.5 affecting Tenants Communications Equipment,
except following an Event of Default or in the event of an emergency where it has been reasonably
established that Tenants Communications Equipment is causing the interference at issue, provided
that, unless Tenants Communications Equipment interferes with the Existing IBM Equipment (as
defined in Paragraph 30.2(b) below), Tenant shall not be required to cease using any Communications
Equipment that has been licensed for use by the Federal Communications Commission or any other
authorized
42
governmental authority, so long as Tenant is using such Communications Equipment in accordance with
such license and all Applicable Laws.
28.6 Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees to faithfully observe and to comply with
the Project Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by
this reference, and all reasonable and non-discriminatory modifications of and additions thereto
from time to time put into effect by Landlord of which Tenant shall have notice. Landlord shall
not be responsible to Tenant for the non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of the Project
of any of said Project Rules and Regulations. In the event any of the Project Rules and
Regulations conflict with any express provision of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall
govern.
28.7 Attorneys Fees. In case any suit or other proceeding shall be brought for an
unlawful detainer of the Premises or for the recovery of any Rental due under the provisions of
this Lease or because of the failure of performance or observance of any other term or covenant
herein contained on the part of Landlord or Tenant, the unsuccessful party in such suit or
proceeding shall pay to the prevailing party therein reasonable attorneys fees and costs which
shall include fees and costs of any appeal, all as fixed by the Court. Any such attorneys fees
and other expenses incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Lease
shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment,
and such attorneys fees obligation is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this
Lease and to survive and not be merged into any such judgment. In addition, if either party
utilizes the services of an attorney for the purpose of collecting any delinquent amounts owed to
such party, the other party agrees to pay the reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by such
party for such services, regardless of the fact that no legal action may be commenced or filed.
28.8 Venue and Jurisdiction. Each party hereto agrees and consents to personal
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, in any action or
proceeding or counterclaim brought by any party hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of
any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise, whether any of the foregoing is based on this
Lease or on tort law. The provisions of this Paragraph 28.8 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
28.9 Waiver. The failure of either party to object to or to assert any remedy by
reason of the other partys failure to perform or observe any covenant or term hereof or its
failure to assert any rights by reason of the happening or non happening of any condition hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to assert and enforce any remedy it may have by reason of
such failure or the happening or non happening of such condition or a waiver of its rights to
enforce any of its rights by reason of any subsequent failure to perform or observe the same or any
other term or covenant or by reason of the subsequent happening or non happening of the same or any
other condition. No custom or practice which may develop between the parties hereto during the
Lease Term shall be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of either party to insist
upon performance and observance in strict accordance with the terms hereof. The acceptance of
Rental hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding failure of Tenant
to perform or observe any term or covenant of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay
the particular Rental so accepted, irrespective of any knowledge on the part of Landlord of such
preceding failure at the time of acceptance of such Rental, and no endorsement or statement on any
check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rental shall be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlords right
to recover the balance of such installment or payment of Rental or pursue any other remedies
available to Landlord. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this
Lease or Tenants right of possession of the Premises shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease
Term. Receipt or acceptance of payment from anyone other than Tenant, including a Transferee, is
not a waiver of any breach of Paragraph 12, and Landlord may accept such payment on account of the
amount due without prejudice to Landlords right to pursue any remedies available to Landlord other
than with respect to the payment so accepted. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by either party to the other under the provisions of this Lease,
the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make the
payment under protest and such payment shall not be regarded
43
as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of the party making such payment
to institute suit for recovery of all or part of the amount paid. If it shall be determined that the
party making the payment under protest was not legally obligated to pay the amount paid, the party shall be entitled to
recover the amount it was not legally obligated to pay, together with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate from the date paid until the date the same is recovered.
28.10 Light, Air and View. No additional structures may be erected (whether or not
by Landlord) on the Real Property without Tenants prior written approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
28.11 Notices. All notices, demands, requests or other communications (collectively,
Notices) which may be or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be
in writing. All Notices by Landlord to Tenant shall be sufficiently given, if sent by United
States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or by a reputable overnight courier service
addressed to Tenant at Tenants address for notices as set forth in Paragraph C of the Summary of
Lease Terms. All Notices by Tenant to Landlord shall be sufficiently given, made or delivered if
personally served on Landlord, or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, or by a recognized air carrier service addressed to Landlord at Landlords address for
notices specified in Paragraph B of the Summary of Lease Terms. Each Notice shall be deemed
received upon the earlier of receipt or three (3) business days after the date it was mailed as
provided in this Paragraph 28.11, if sent by registered or certified mail, or, one (1) business day
after delivery to the overnight courier specifying next business day delivery, or upon the date
personal delivery is made; provided, however, that any refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed
to constitute receipt.
28.12 Name. Tenant agrees that it shall not, without first obtaining the written
consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed): (a) use the
name of the Building for any purpose other than as the address of the business conducted by Tenant
in the Premises, or (b) use for any purpose any image of, rendering of, or design based on, the
exterior appearance or profile of the Building.
28.13 Governing Law; Severability; Construction. This Lease shall in all respects be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California. If any provision of this
Lease shall be invalid, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, all other
provisions hereof shall be and remain in effect. The language in all parts of this Lease shall be
construed according to its normal and usual meaning and not strictly for or against either Landlord
or Tenant. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants between Landlord and Tenant are
independent. Tenant expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that,
except as expressly provided in this Lease, if Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this
Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts at Landlords expense;
or to any setoff of the Rental under this Lease against Landlord. The foregoing, however, shall in
no way impair Tenants right to bring a separate action against Landlord for any violation by
Landlord of the provisions of this Lease if notice is first given to Landlord and any Security
Holder, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and that Security Holder to correct those
violations as provided in Paragraph 15 hereof.

contained in third party studies and reports prepared on behalf of Landlord in connection with Landlords acquisition
of the Real Property and Landlords inquiry of the current property manager for the Project. Words
used in any gender include other genders. If there be more than one Tenant the obligations of
Tenant hereunder are joint and
several. The paragraph headings of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall
have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof.
28.15 Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease with respect to the payment of
Rental and the performance of all obligations.

Landlord or Tenant which by their terms survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

it has dealt with no brokers in connection with this Lease other than Landlords Broker(s) and

harmless from any and all Claims resulting from a breach of the foregoing representation. Landlord

restrictions, regulations, controls, actions or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts of
God, national emergency, acts of war or terrorism or any other cause of any kind beyond the
reasonable control of such party (except financial inability), such party shall not be in default
under this Lease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Paragraph 28.21 shall (a)
extend the time at which Tenant is entitled to an abatement of any Rentals or to terminate this
45
Lease pursuant to any express abatement or termination right under this Lease, or (b) permit Tenant
to holdover in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
28.22 Other Improvements. If portions of the Real Property or property adjacent to
the Real Property (collectively, the Other Improvements) are owned by an entity other than
Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may enter into an agreement with the owner or owners of any of
the Other Improvements to provide (i) for reciprocal rights of access, use and/or enjoyment of the

29.1 Extension Options. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options to extend
the Lease Term (each, an Extension Option and collectively, the Extension Options) for
successive periods of five (5) years each (each, an Extension Term) commencing on the first day
following the Expiration Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Paragraph; provided, however, that (a) an Extension Option shall be exercised, if at all, only with
respect to the entire Premises; (b) the second Extension Option may be exercised only if the first
Extension Option has been duly exercised; and (c) if Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary
default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under any of the terms, covenants or conditions
of this Lease either at the time Tenant exercises an Extension Option or upon the commencement of
the applicable Extension Term, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlords other rights
and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate such Extension Option and to
unilaterally nullify Tenants exercise of such Extension Option, in which event this Lease shall
expire on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and Tenant
shall have no further rights under this Lease to renew or extend the Lease Term.
29.2 Exercise. Tenant shall exercise an Extension Option, if at all, by giving
Landlord unconditional, irrevocable written notice of such election not later than nine (9) months
prior to the Expiration Date (as the same may have been extended) (as applicable, the Exercise
Deadline), the time of such exercise being of the essence. Subject to the provisions of this
Paragraph 29, upon the giving of such notice, this Lease and the Lease Term shall be extended
without execution or delivery of any other or further documents, with the same force and effect as
if the applicable Extension Term had originally been included in the Lease Term.
29.3 Conditions. If Tenant exercises an Extension Option pursuant to Paragraph 29.2
above, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect during the applicable Extension Term, including provisions regarding payment of additional
rent, which shall remain payable on the terms herein set forth, except that (a) the Basic Rental
during an Extension Term shall be as determined in accordance with Paragraph 29.4 below, (b) Tenant
shall continue to possess and occupy the Premises in their existing condition, as is, as of the
commencement of such Extension Term, and, subject to and without limiting Landlords repair,
maintenance and other obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair,
remodel, improve or alter the Premises, to perform any other construction or other work of
improvement upon the Premises, or to provide Tenant with any construction or refurbishing allowance
whatsoever, and (c) Tenant shall have no further rights to extend the Lease Term after the
expiration of the second Extension Term.
29.4 Prevailing Market Rate. The Basic Rental payable by Tenant for the Premises
during an Extension Term shall be the prevailing market rate (as defined below) for the Premises,
valued
48
as of the commencement of such Extension Term, determined in the manner hereinafter
provided. As used herein, the term prevailing market rate shall mean the annual Basic Rental
that a willing tenant would pay, and that a willing landlord would accept, at arms length, for
space comparable to the Premises within the Project or other comparable steel frame office/R&D
buildings having two (2) or more stories located in the cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas
or Sunnyvale (the Comparison Buildings), based upon binding lease transactions for tenants in
Comparison Buildings (Comparison Leases). Comparison Leases shall include renewal and new
non-renewal tenancies, but shall exclude subleases and leases of space subject to another tenants
expansion rights. Rental rates payable under Comparison Leases shall be adjusted to account for
variations between this Lease and the Comparison Leases with respect to: (a) the length of the
Extension Term compared to the lease term of the Comparison Leases; (b) rental structure,
including, without limitation, rental rates per rentable square foot (including whether gross or
net, and if gross, adjusting for base year or expense stop), additional rental, all other payments
and escalations; (c) the size of the Premises compared to the size of the premises of the
Comparison Leases; (d) location, floor levels and efficiencies of the floor(s) for which the
determination is being made; (e) free rent, moving expenses and other cash payments, allowances or
other monetary concessions affecting the rental rate; (f) the age and quality of construction of
the Building; and (g) leasehold improvements and/or allowances, including the amounts thereof in
renewal leases, and taking into account, in the case of renewal leases (including this Lease), the
value of existing leasehold improvements.
29.5 Landlords Proposal. Not later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of
an Extension Term, provided Tenant has given valid notice of exercise of the applicable Extension
Option, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a good faith written proposal of the prevailing market
rate for the Premises for such Extension Term. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlords
proposal, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (a) that Tenant accepts Landlords proposal or
(b) that Tenant elects to submit the determination of prevailing market rate to arbitration in
accordance with Paragraph 29.6 below. If Tenant does not give Landlord a timely notice in response
to Landlords proposal, Landlords proposal of prevailing market rate for the applicable Extension
Term shall be binding upon Tenant.
29.6 Arbitration. If Tenant timely elects to submit the determination of prevailing
market rate to arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall first negotiate in good faith in an attempt
to determine the prevailing market rate for the applicable Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant
are able to agree within thirty (30) days following the delivery of Tenants notice to Landlord
electing arbitration (or if Tenant accepts Landlords initial proposal), then such agreement shall
constitute a determination of prevailing market rate for purposes of this Paragraph, and the
parties shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the prevailing market rate and
the Basic Rental for such Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the
prevailing market rate within such negotiating period, then within fifteen (15) days after the
expiration of such negotiating period, the parties shall meet and concurrently deliver to each
other their respective written estimates of prevailing market rate for the applicable Extension
Term, supported by the reasons therefor (respectively, Landlords Determination and Tenants
Determination). Landlords Determination may be more or less than its initial proposal of
prevailing market rate. If either party fails to deliver its Determination in a timely manner,
then the prevailing market rate shall be the amount specified by the other party. If Tenants
Determination of prevailing market rate is higher than Landlords Determination, then the
prevailing market rate shall be the average of the two. In every other case, the prevailing market
rate shall be determined as follows, each party being bound to its Determination and such
Determinations establishing the only two choices available to the Appraisal Panel (as hereinafter
defined). Within ten (10) days after the parties exchange Landlords and Tenants Determinations,
the parties shall each appoint an arbitrator who shall be a licensed California real estate broker
with at least ten (10) years experience in leasing commercial industrial/R&D space similar to the
Building in Silicon Valley immediately prior to his or her appointment, and be familiar with the
rentals then being charged in the Comparison Buildings. The parties may appoint the real estate
brokers who assisted them in making their Determinations as their respective arbitrators. If
either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator, then the prevailing market rate for the
Extension Term shall be the Determination of the other party. Within twenty (20) days following
their appointment, the two arbitrators so selected shall appoint a third, similarly-qualified,
independent arbitrator who has not had any prior business relationship
with either party (the Independent Arbitrator). If an Independent Arbitrator has not been
so selected by the end of such twenty (20) day period, then either party, on behalf
49
of both, may
request such appointment by the local office of the American Arbitration Association (or any
successor thereto), or in the absence, failure, refusal or inability of such entity to act, then
either party may apply to the presiding judge for the Santa Clara Superior Court, for the
appointment of such an Independent Arbitrator, and the other party shall not raise any question as
to the courts full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application and make the appointment.
Within five (5) days following notification of the identity of the Independent Arbitrator so
appointed, Landlord and Tenant shall submit copies of Landlords Determination and Tenants
Determination to the three arbitrators (the Appraisal Panel). The Appraisal Panel shall conduct
a hearing, at which Landlord and Tenant may each make supplemental oral and/or written
presentations, with an opportunity for rebuttal by the other party and for questioning by the
members of the Appraisal Panel, if they so wish. Within a reasonable time following the hearing,
the Appraisal Panel, by majority vote, shall select either Landlords Determination or Tenants
Determination as the Basic Rental for the applicable Extension Term, and shall have no right to
propose a middle ground or to modify either of the two proposals or the provisions of this Lease.
The Appraisal Panel shall attempt to render a decision within fifteen (15) business days after
appointment. In any case, the Appraisal Panel shall render a decision within forty-five (45) days
after appointment. The decision of the Appraisal Panel shall be final and binding upon the
parties, and may be enforced in accordance with the provisions of California law. In the event of
the failure, refusal or inability of any member of the Appraisal Panel to act, a successor shall be
appointed in the manner that applied to the selection of the member being replaced. Each party
shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator designated by such party, and one-half of the
fees and expenses of the Independent Arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings
(excluding attorneys fees and similar expenses of the parties which shall be borne separately by
each of the parties).
29.7 Rental Payment Before Resolution. Until the matter is resolved by agreement
between the parties or a decision is rendered in any arbitration commenced pursuant to this
Paragraph 29, Tenants monthly payments of Basic Rental shall be in an amount equal to the average
of Landlords Determination and Tenants Determination. Within ten (10) business days following
the resolution of such dispute by the parties or the decision of the arbitrators, as applicable,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall pay to Tenant, the amount of any deficiency or
excess, as the case may be, in the Basic Rental previously paid.
29.8 Rights Personal to Tenant. Tenants right to exercise each of the Extension
Options is personal to, and may be exercised only by, the Original Tenant or a Permitted Assignee.
No assignee (other than a Permitted Assignee) or subtenant shall have any right to exercise the
Extension Options granted herein.
30. TENANTS USE OF ROOFTOP.

Tenant if constructed after the Tenant Improvements are completed.
50
30.2 Communications Equipment.
(a) For purpose of this Lease, Communications Equipment shall mean (i) telecommunications
antennae, microwave dishes and other communications equipment to serve Tenants business in the

paths for such wiring and connections shall be through the Buildings existing risers, conduits and
shafts, subject to reasonable space limitations and Landlords reasonable requirements for use of
such areas, and in all events subject to Landlords approval (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) of plans and installation pursuant to other provisions of this Lease,
including Paragraph 8 above (such routes or paths are collectively referred to as the Cable Path
and all such electrical and other connections are referred to, collectively, as the Connections)
with respect to any Rooftop Installations constructed after the Tenant Improvements are completed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Communications Equipment or other Rooftop Installations or
Connections, or any part thereof, constitute part of the Tenant Improvements, then Landlords
approvals or disapprovals above shall be given by Landlord in connection with, and subject to the
time periods governing, its approval or disapproval of the Final Working Drawings pursuant to the
Tenant Improvement Agreement.

master television, telecommunications or microwave antennae equipment located in any portion of the
Project; or (iii) radio communication system located on any portion of the Project; provided,
however, that Tenant agrees not to interfere with the microwave, satellite or other antennae
communications systems located on the 4400 Building as of the date of this Lease (Existing IBM
Equipment). Landlord shall not install, maintain or otherwise use, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts not to allow any other tenant or occupant of the Project to install, maintain or
otherwise use, any telecommunications antennae, microwave dishes or other communications equipment
that materially adversely affects Tenants Communications Equipment. Landlord and Tenant will
promptly meet and confer and negotiate in good faith to resolve any claims of Communications
Equipment interference in violation of this Paragraph 30.2 brought by the other party, it being
understood that (1) Tenant shall have no obligation to take any action under this Paragraph 30.2 in
connection with any actual or alleged interference caused by Tenants Communications Equipment
until the party who is claiming the interference has reasonably established the identity and
location of the Communications Equipment that is causing the interference at issue; and (2) Tenant
will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any interference with Landlords or any other
Project tenants or occupants Communications Equipment, but, unless the Communications Equipment
interferes with the Existing IBM Equipment, Tenant shall not be required to cease using any
Communications Equipment that has been licensed for use by the Federal Communications Commission or
any other authorized governmental authority, so long as Tenant is using such Communications
Equipment in accordance with such license and all Applicable Laws. Tenant shall be responsible for
all costs associated with any tests deemed reasonably necessary to resolve any and all interference
as set forth in this Paragraph.
30.3 Roof Repairs. If roof repairs and/or roof replacements to the Building (the
Roof Repairs) are reasonably necessary, Landlord shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) business
days prior written notice of the date Landlord intends to commence such Roof Repairs (except in
the event of an emergency, in which event Landlord shall furnish Tenant with reasonable notice in
light of the circumstances), along with a description of the work scheduled to be performed, where
it is scheduled to be performed on the roof, and an estimate of the time frame required for that
performance. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, within thirty (30) following receipt of such
notice, remove or relocate the Rooftop Installations on a temporary basis if Landlord reasonably
determines such removal of relocation is necessary or appropriate for the expeditious performance
of any Roof Repairs.
51
30.4 Rules and Regulations. Without limiting the applicable provisions of this Lease,
Tenants use of the roof of the Building shall be subject to the terms and conditions contained in
the Rooftop Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B-2. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Paragraph 30 or elsewhere in this Lease, if at any time during
the Lease Term, the Building shall become a multi-tenant Building, then Tenant shall only be
entitled to use its proportionate share of the roof area of the Building.
31. EMERGENCY GENERATOR.
31.1 Generator. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right, to install, operate,
maintain and use on the Premises an electrical generator and related equipment (collectively, the
Generator), including, but not limited to, fuel lines, electrical lines and electrical power
connections and meters to service the Premises, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and
conditions contained in Paragraph 8 above and this Paragraph 31.

conditioned, or delayed.
(b) Tenants contractor for installation of the Generator shall be subject to Landlords prior

include for Landlords approval (i) a hazardous substances management plan, (ii) an elevation
showing the location of penetrations, and planned methods of waterproofing the penetrations; and
(iii) details on screening the Generator and the Generator enclosure. The giving of any approval
by Landlord shall not eliminate any of Tenants obligations under this Lease, including, without
limitation, Tenants obligation to obtain all required permits and to secure compliance with all
Applicable Laws and other requirements set forth in Paragraph 31.3(d) below. Tenant agrees to pay
Landlords reasonable out-of-pocket cost of review and approval of the plans and specifications
within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.
(d) Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable advance notice prior to commencing
installation of the Generator or other work on or to the Generator from time to time, and agrees to

notice within a reasonable time, shall be required in the case of an emergency that presents an
immediate danger. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of any
Landlord contractor being present for the performance of such work within thirty (30) days after
receipt of an invoice therefor.
(e) After the initial installation of the Generator hereunder, Tenant shall not make any
alteration, addition or improvement thereto, or to the substances stored therein, without first
52
obtaining Landlords prior written approval thereof, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and any such alterations, additions or improvements shall be
subject to all the conditions and restrictions that apply to the original Generator, including,
without limitation, the requirement that Tenant furnish the Landlord with detailed plans and
specifications relating to the proposed alterations, additions or improvements.
(f) Tenant, at its expense, shall at all times keep the Generator in good and sanitary order,
condition and repair, and the Generator location and the areas immediately surrounding same neat

business and control its agents, employees and invitees in such manner as not to create any
nuisance, or unreasonably interfere with, annoy or disturb any other licensee or tenant of the
Project or Landlord in its operation of the Project.

then Landlords approvals or disapprovals above shall be given by Landlord in connection with, and
subject to the time periods governing, its approval or disapproval of the Final Working Drawings
pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement.
31.4 Compliance With Laws; Hazardous Substances. Landlord has made no representations
or promise as to the suitability or effectiveness of the Generator location for Tenants proposed
use, or as to any governmental requirements applicable to Tenants proposed use of the Generator,
or as to the condition of (or alteration or improvement of) the Generator location. Tenant, at its
sole cost and expense, shall comply with all Applicable Laws and restrictive covenants applicable
to the installation, maintenance, operation and use of the Generator. Without limiting the

any licenses, consents, approvals or permits which may be required by any federal, state and local
agencies or governmental authorities required for the installation, maintenance, operation and
removal of the Generator, shall provide copies of the same to Landlord, and shall, at all times
during the Lease Term, comply with all requirements of any such agency or authority. All of the
provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Paragraph 7, shall apply to Tenants use,
installation and operation of the Generator. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall promptly

authority in connection with the Generator, the substances contained therein, or the equipment or
Tenants operations in connection therewith, and shall, following Landlords reasonable request,
promptly forward to Landlord copies of any and all other notices, correspondence, warnings,
guidance or other written materials received from any governmental authority in connection with the
Generator, the substances contained therein, or the equipment or Tenants operations in connection
therewith.
31.5 Damage. Any damage to the Building resulting from the installation, operation,
maintenance or removal of the Generator, including without limitation, leakage or water damage,
shall be repaired by Tenant (or, at Landlords option, Landlord), at Tenants sole cost and
expense. If Landlord perform such repairs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of
an invoice therefor.
31.6 Removal and Restoration. Landlord reserves the right, by written notice to
Tenant (Generator Removal Notice), to require that Tenant remove upon the Expiration Date or
earlier termination of this Lease, at Tenants own expense, the Generator and restore the areas of
the Project affected by the Generator to the condition existing prior to installation of the
Generator, which obligation Tenant agrees will include restoring all penetrations to their original
condition, matching color and pattern to Landlords reasonable satisfaction, reasonable wear and
tear excepted. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the Generator Removal Notice not later than one
hundred twenty (120) days before the Expiration Date (or, if this Lease is earlier terminated,
within sixty (60) days following the earlier termination of this Lease), provided that if Landlord
for any reason fails to provide a Generator Removal Notice prior to such deadlines, Landlord shall
be deemed to have elected to have Tenant remove the Generator and perform the required restoration
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 31.6.

any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect the
Generator, and to conduct testing, monitoring and analyses so long as the same will not interfere
with Tenants use and operations of the Premises and to review any permits, documents, materials,
inventories, financial data, or notices or correspondence to or from private parties or
governmental authorities in connection therewith (Generator Inspection). In the event Landlord
in good faith believes there has been a release of Hazardous Substances from the Generator in
violation of Applicable Laws, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred
by Landlord in connection with any Generator Inspection and directly associated with such suspected
release or suspected release shall become due and payable by Tenant upon presentation by Landlord
of an invoice therefor. Tenant shall maintain copies all permits and other documentation relating
to the Generator at the Premises.
31.8 Landlord Remedies. Upon an Event of Default by Tenant of Tenants obligations
under this Paragraph 31, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any one or
more of the following actions:
(a) To act in place of Tenant (and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its agent for such
purposes) and to take such action as it may deem necessary or desirable to ensure compliance or to
mitigate, abate, or correct the contamination or other threat. All costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by Landlord in connection with any such actions, including, without limitation,
consultants and legal fees, shall become immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon
presentation of an invoice therefor; and
(b) Pursue all additional remedies as Landlord may have under this Lease.
31.9 Landlord Exculpation. Tenant assumes full responsibility for protecting from
theft or damage the Generator and any other tools or equipment that Tenant may use in connection
with the installation, repair or maintenance of the Generator, assumes all risk of theft, loss or
damage, and waives any claim with respect thereto against Landlord, the Security Holders, and the
other Landlord Indemnitees. Further, in no event shall the Security Holders or any Landlord

to, or interference with, Tenants business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of
rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, resulting
from damage to or any failure or interruption of use of the Generator, however occurring.
31.10 Insurance; Indemnity.
(a) Tenant shall cause the insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Paragraph
14 of the Lease to cover the Generator and any claims, demands, suits, liability, damage or loss
arising in connection with the presence, use, operation, installation, repair, maintenance, or
removal of the Generator; provided that, in addition to the coverages required under Paragraph 14
of the Lease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, and maintain in effect until such time as the
Generator is removed in accordance with applicable legal requirements, a Pollution Legal Liability
Policy in the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), naming Landlord and the Security
Holders (if so designated by Landlord) as additional insureds and otherwise in a form and issued by
a company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
(b) Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and the other
Landlord Indemnitees, and each of them, harmless from and against any and all Claims arising from
or connected in any way with the Generator or the operations of Tenant or any Tenant Parties in
connection therewith (except with respect to any Landlord Indemnitee, to the extent caused by (i)
the negligence of such Landlord Indemnitee and not covered by the insurance required to be carried
by Tenant hereunder, (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Landlord Indemnitee,
or (iii) the criminal activity of such Landlord Indemnitee, or except to the extent otherwise
prohibited by Applicable Laws), or a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or condition
of this Paragraph
54
31, including, without limitation, (A) all foreseeable and unforeseeable
consequential damages, (B) the costs of any
required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification, (C) any violation of Applicable Laws,
(D) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order, (E) any personal
injuries or property damage, and (F) any migration of hazardous substances from the Generator. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
32. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO LEASE.
32.1 Grant of Right of First Refusal. If Tenant is not then in monetary or material
non-monetary default under any term or provision of this Lease beyond the expiration of the
applicable cure period, Tenant shall have a right of first refusal (Right of First Refusal)
during the initial Lease Term to lease the space on the third floor of the 4400 Building (the
Right of First Refusal Space) on the following terms and conditions: If Landlord receives a
proposal (which may be in the form of a non-binding letter of intent, memorandum of understanding
or other written proposal) from another party that is not a tenant in the Project to lease all or a
portion of the Right of First Refusal Space only (i.e., not any other space in the Project) on
terms acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (the Third Party Proposal), then
Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the terms and conditions of such Third Party Proposal,
and Tenant shall have seven (7) business days after receipt of the Third Party Proposal to provide
written notice to Landlord, which notice shall be unconditional and irrevocable, that Tenant elects
to lease the Right of First Refusal Space described in the Third Party Proposal upon the identical
terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Proposal and, to the extent not inconsistent
therewith, upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. The failure of Tenant to provide
written notice of acceptance within said time period shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to
accept the Third Party Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this
Lease, Tenants Right of First Refusal shall apply only if the Third Party Proposal is for the
lease of all or a portion of the Right of First Refusal Space only, and not for any other space in
the Project. If Landlord receives a Third Party Proposal to lease all or a portion of the Right of
First Refusal Space along with any other space in the 4400 Building or any other building in the
Project, then Tenants Right of First Refusal shall not apply to such Third Party Proposal.
32.2 Subordinate to IBM Right. Tenant acknowledges that International Business
Machines Corporation (IBM) has a prior right to lease the Right of First Refusal Space pursuant
to the terms and conditions of IBMs existing lease for premises in the 4400 Building (IBM
Lease), and Tenants Right of First Refusal is subordinate to the rights of IBM pursuant to the
IBM Lease. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord intends to simultaneously notify IBM and
Tenant of Landlords receipt of a Third Party Proposal for the Right of First Refusal Space and to
have the exercise notice periods for IBM and Tenant to run concurrently. If Tenant timely
exercises its right to lease the Right of First Refusal Space as provided in Paragraph 32.1 above,
then promptly after expiration of IBMs notice period, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether IBM has
also exercised its right to lease the Right of First Refusal Space, in which event Tenants
exercise shall be of no force or effect.
32.3 Continuing Right of First Refusal. Tenants Right of First Refusal shall be
continuing and shall apply at all times during the Lease Term; provided, however, that If Tenant
does not accept the Third Party Proposal as provided in Paragraph 32.1 above, then for the next
ninety (90)-day period Landlord shall be free to lease such Right of First Refusal Space to the
party (or any of its affiliates) making the proposal or to any other party on such terms proposed
in the Third Party Proposal, or on any other terms as Landlord may determine in its sole discretion
(subject to Paragraph 32.4 below with respect to changes in the offer proposed to and not accepted
by Tenant).
32.4 Amended Third Party Proposal. If neither Tenant nor IBM accepts the Third Party
Proposal as provided in Paragraph 32.1 above and, prior to execution of the lease for the
applicable Right of First Refusal Space, Landlord and the third-party agree to a reduction in the
stated monthly fixed rent set forth in the original Third Party Proposal by more than five percent
(5%) (calculated on a net effective rent basis), then Landlord shall be obligated to offer the
revised terms to Tenant, and Tenant shall have five (5) business days after receipt of such amended
offer to accept or reject the revised terms, provided
55
that any such acceptance by Tenant shall
continue to be subject and subordinate to IBMs rights contained in the IBM Lease. If Tenant
rejects or does not accept the revised or new terms within the foregoing time period, then Landlord
shall have the right to enter into a lease with the third-party on the revised or new terms. In
no event shall Tenant have any rights to any Right of First Refusal Space that IBM elects to
lease, regardless of whether the terms of the final, executed lease (or lease amendment) with IBM
for such Right of First Refusal Space vary from the terms of the original Third Party Proposal.
32.5 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant elects to lease the Right of First Refusal Space
as provided above, then, subject to IBMs rights as provided above, such space shall be included in
this Lease, except that the rental payments, length of the term and other provisions shall be
modified with respect to such space to reflect the terms agreed to in the Third Party Proposal or
revised Third Party Proposal. The parties promptly shall execute an amendment to this Lease,
stating the addition of such space to the Premises and such other modifications to the terms and
conditions of this Lease as are necessary or appropriate to incorporate the terms and conditions of
the lease of such space.
32.6 Rights Personal to Tenant. The Right of First Refusal is personal, and may be
exercised only by, the Original Tenant under this Lease or any Permitted Assignee, and only if the
Original Tenant or Permitted Assignee then occupies at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the
Premises. No assignee (other than a Permitted Assignee) or subtenant shall have any right to
exercise the Right of First Refusal.
33. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE.
33.1 Grant of Right of First Offer to Purchase.
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer (Right of First Offer) to
purchase the Real Property or the Project, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth in this Paragraph 33; provided, however, that if Tenant is in monetary or material
non-monetary default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease either at the time Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer or at the
time of the closing date, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlords other rights and
remedies, the right to terminate the Right of First Offer and to unilaterally nullify Tenants
exercise of the Right of First Offer, in which event Tenant shall have no further rights pursuant
to this Paragraph 33.
(b) Subject to the other terms of this Right of First Offer, if at any time during the Lease
Term, Landlord desires to sell the Real Property independently of the Project or the Project as a
whole (as the case may be, the Sale Property), Landlord will not accept an offer to purchase the
Sale Property or make an offer to sell the Sale Property unless and until Landlord has first
offered in writing to sell the Sale Property to Tenant (the Purchase Offer). The Purchase Offer
shall identify the Sale Property and specify a purchase price for which Landlord is willing to sell
the Sale Property to Tenant (Landlords Proposed Purchase Price). Tenant shall have the right,
for a period of twenty (20) business days after receipt of the Purchase Offer, to exercise the
Right of First Offer by giving Landlord written notice (Acceptance Notice) that Tenant desires to
enter into negotiations to purchase the Sale Property upon the terms and conditions contained in
the Purchase Offer. In addition, if Tenant wishes to enter into negotiations to purchase the Sale
Property for a purchase price less than Landlords Proposed Purchase Price, Tenant may, within such
twenty (20) business day period, provide Landlord with a notice (Tenants First Offer Notice)
specifying the purchase price upon which Tenant is willing to enter into such negotiations, which
Landlord may accept or reject in its sole and absolute discretion within ten (10) business days
following receipt of Tenants First Offer Notice. Landlords failure to respond for any reason to
Tenants First Offer Notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected Tenants offer, in which
event the provisions of Paragraph 33.1(d) below shall apply.
(c) If Tenant delivers the Acceptance Notice to Landlord within such twenty (20) business day
period, or if Landlord desires to accept the purchase price set forth in Tenants First Offer
Notice, Landlord will promptly thereafter deliver a proposed purchase agreement to Tenant, which
56
incorporates the terms and conditions contained in the Purchase Offer and provides for: (i)
purchase and sale terms and conditions customary for the sale by an institutional seller of real
property on an as is, where is basis, with limited representations and warranties; (ii) a cash
deposit equal to three percent (3%) of the purchase price to be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon
execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which funds shall be placed in an escrow with a
nationally-recognized title company selected
by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant until the closing and (x) be applied towards
the purchase price at closing or (y) be non-refundable to Tenant if and only if the purchase fails
to close due to a default by Tenant (it being understood that Tenant shall have not less than
forty-five (45) days from the execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement to complete its survey,
title and other due diligence with respect to the Project); (iii) all cash consideration; (iv)
closing within sixty (60) days after full execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement; and (v)
allocation of closing costs (including transfer taxes and escrow fees) in accordance with Santa
Clara County custom. Landlord and Tenant shall diligently negotiate in good faith to agree upon
the final terms of a purchase agreement within fifteen (15) business days after Tenants receipt of
the proposed purchase agreement, with neither party having the right to request or otherwise seek
any change in the terms and conditions contained in the Purchase Offer (or Tenants First Offer
Notice, if applicable). After delivery of the Acceptance Notice and execution of a commercially
reasonable confidentiality agreement prepared by Landlord, Landlord shall provide to Tenant copies
of any and all environmental and physical plant reports and other standard due diligence documents
regarding the Sale Property, including copies of all leases of the Sale Property and correspondence
with any governmental agencies in connection therewith then in Landlords possession or reasonably
within its control (the Property Documents), all of which shall be returned to Landlord if the
closing does not occur for any reason.
(d) If (i) Tenant fails to deliver the Acceptance Notice or Tenants First Offer Notice to
Landlord within said twenty (20) business day period or (ii) Tenant timely delivers the Acceptance
Notice to Landlord, but Landlord and Tenant, despite their good faith diligent efforts, fail to
agree upon and execute and deliver a purchase agreement within fifteen (15) business days after
Landlords delivery of the proposed purchase agreement to Tenant, or (iii) if Tenant timely
delivers to Landlord a Tenants First Offer Notice, but either Landlord rejects (or is deemed to
have rejected) the purchase price set forth in Tenants First Offer Notice, or Landlord accepts the
purchase price set forth in Tenants First Offer Notice, but Landlord and Tenant, despite their
good faith diligent efforts, fail to agree upon and execute and deliver a purchase agreement within
fifteen (15) business days after Landlords delivery of the proposed purchase agreement to Tenant,
then Landlord shall have the right, for a period of twelve (12) months after delivery of the
Purchase Offer to Tenant, to close the sale of the Sale Property to any third party purchaser
(Third Party Purchaser), without regard to the restrictions in this Right of First Offer and on
whatever terms and conditions Landlord may decide in its sole discretion to be acceptable, with the
sole exception that: (1) if Tenant delivers the Acceptance Notice pursuant to Paragraph 33.1(b)
above, the purchase price may not be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price
specified in the Purchase Offer; and (2) if Tenant fails to delivers the Acceptance Notice, but
instead timely delivers Tenants First Offer Notice pursuant to Paragraph 33.1(b) above, the
purchase price may not be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price specified in
Tenants First Offer Notice (as the case may be, the Applicable Purchase Price Floor). So long
as the purchase price paid by the Third Party Purchaser is not less than the Applicable Purchase
Price Floor, nothing contained in this Paragraph 33 will require Landlord to give any notice of any
kind to Tenant if the terms of the sale to the Third Party Purchaser differ from the terms
contained in the Purchase Offer or Tenants First Offer Notice, as the case may be. If Tenant
fails to deliver the Acceptance Notice or Tenants First Offer Notice to Landlord within the twenty
(20) business day period specified in Paragraph 33.1(a) above, there shall be no restriction
whatsoever on the terms and conditions (including the purchase price) that Landlord may, for a
period of twelve (12) months after delivery of the Purchase Offer to Tenant, close the sale of the
Sale Property to any Third Party Purchaser.
33.2 Termination, Applicability and Subordination of First Offer to Purchase.
(a) In the event that (i) if Landlord has not entered into a binding agreement to sell the
Sale Property within one (1) year after Tenant has rejected Landlords Purchase Offer, or (ii) if
Landlord is otherwise willing to sell the Sale Property within such one (1) year period at less
than the
57
Applicable Purchase Price Floor, then Tenant shall once again have Tenants right of first
offer to purchase as provided in this Paragraph 33. This Right of First Offer shall run with the
land during the Lease Term and shall be binding on successors or assigns of the original Landlord.
If the Right of First Offer is terminated in accordance with this Paragraph 33 and no longer of any
force or effect, then within
ten (10) business days after request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute such documents as may
be reasonably requested by Landlord to acknowledge termination of the Right of First Offer.
(b) This Right of First Offer shall not apply to any transfer of the Real Property or the
Project or any interest therein to any partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other
entity in which the then current Landlord or one or more of the then current members or partners of
Landlord has at least a twenty percent (20%) interest (each, a Landlord-Related Entity), provided
that if the Right of First Offer has not otherwise terminated prior to the proposed transfer of the
Sale Property by a Landlord-Related Entity to a Third Party Purchaser, then such transfer by a
Landlord-Related Entity shall be subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 33. In addition, the
Right of First Offer shall not apply to any transfer by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure,
transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or transfer in lieu of condemnation, and the Right of
First Offer shall automatically terminate upon any such transfer.
(c) This Right of First Offer shall be subordinate at all times to all Superior Interests and
to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, and to any and
all advances hereafter made on the security thereof or Landlords interest therein. Within ten
(10) business days after request, Tenant shall execute in recordable form such documents evidencing
subordination of the Right of First Offer as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any
Security Holder.
(d) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 33 is intended to imply or create any obligation of
Landlord to sell the Real Property or the Project to any person at any time. The Right of First
Offer will be exercisable by Tenant if, and only if, Landlord elects in its sole discretion to sell
the Real Property or the Project.
33.3 Rights Personal to Tenant. The Right of First Offer is personal, and may be
exercised only by, the Original Tenant under this Lease or any Permitted Assignee. No assignee
(other than a Permitted Assignee) or subtenant shall have any right to exercise the Right of First
Offer.
34. JAMS ARBITRATION.
34.1 General Submittals to Arbitration. The submittal of all matters to binding
arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 34 (the Arbitration of Disputes
provision) is the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any and all claims,
disputes or disagreements arising under Paragraph 2.2(d) and Paragraph 18.5 of this Lease,
Paragraph 2.2.3 and Paragraph 4.2.4 of the Tenant Improvement Agreement, or any other provision of
this Lease (including any exhibit) that expressly references this Paragraph 34. The parties hereby
irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall at all times conduct themselves in
strict, full, complete and timely accordance with this Arbitration of Disputes provision and all
attempts to circumvent the terms of the Arbitration of Disputes provision shall be absolutely null
and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
34.2 JAMS. All disputes to be arbitrated pursuant to the Arbitration of Disputes
provision shall be determined by binding arbitration before a retired judge of the Superior Court
of the State of California (the Arbitrator) under the auspices of JAMS in San Francisco,
California. Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them, within ten (10)
days after either party sends written notice of a demand to arbitrate by registered or certified
mail to the other party and to JAMS. In the event that JAMS no longer exists or if JAMS fails or
refuses to accept submission of such dispute, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in San Francisco, California.
Regardless of the alternative dispute resolution provider used (i.e., either JAMS or AAA), the
arbitration shall be administered and conducted pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules
& Procedures (the Arbitration Rules), effective March 26, 2007. Even if the Rules in effect on
the
58
date of the commencement of an arbitration have been amended, the version dated March 26, 2007
shall be used; provided, however, that the following modifications shall take precedence over the
Rules:
(a) Unless the parties otherwise agree, the Arbitrator must be a retired judge of the Superior
Court of the State of California.
(b) The scope and duration of discovery will be determined by the Arbitrator based upon the
reasonable need for the requested information, the availability of other discovery options and the
burdensomeness of the request on the opposing parties and the witness; provided, however, that
there shall be a presumption in favor of depositions of expected percipient witnesses (of
approximately 3 1/2 hours each on the record) and expert witnesses (of no more than 6 hours each on
the record).
(c) The Arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief that is just and equitable and within the
scope of the Parties agreement, including but not limited to specific performance, injunctive
relief, damages, and interest (at such rate and from such date as the Arbitrator may deem
appropriate).
(d) The Arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys fees, experts fees, and costs to the
prevailing Party, including without limitation the prevailing Partys share of the Arbitrators and
Arbitration providers fees and costs.
34.3 Provisional Remedies. This Section shall not preclude the Parties from seeking
provisional remedies in aid of the Arbitration of Disputes from a court of appropriate
jurisdiction.
34.4 Waiver of Rights to Litigate in a Court or Jury Trial.
NOTICE: BY INITIALING IN THE SPACE BELOW YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF
THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS
PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW AND YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS YOU MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE

EXHIBIT C
TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
This Tenant Improvement Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the
construction of Tenants improvements to the Premises (the Tenant Improvements). This Tenant
Improvement Agreement is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the
construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction
of the Premises. All references in this Tenant Improvement Agreement to Paragraphs of this Lease
shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease to which this Tenant Improvement Agreement is
attached as Exhibit C, and all references in this Tenant Improvement Agreement to Sections
of this Tenant Improvement Agreement shall mean the relevant portions of this Tenant Improvement
Agreement.
SECTION 1
DELIVERY OF THE PREMISES AND BASE BUILDING
1.1 Delivery of Premises. Following the full execution and delivery of this Lease by
Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall deliver the Premises and Base Building, as that term is
defined below, to Tenant, and Tenant shall accept the Premises and Base Building from Landlord in
accordance with Section 2.2 of this Lease. The Base Building shall consist of those portions of
the Building that were in existence upon delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant.
1.2 IBM Lines. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, as of the date of this Lease,
there are Lines serving the 4400 Building that are located on the first floor of the Building (the
IBM Lines). Following delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord agrees, at Landlords
expense, to cause the IBM Lines to be removed from the Building (IBM Lines Removal). Tenant
shall provide timely access to Landlord and applicable service providers and otherwise reasonably
cooperate with Landlord and such service providers to facilitate the IBM Lines Removal as soon as
reasonably practicable, in a cost effective manner. Landlord shall exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the IBM Lines Removal to be completed on or before March 1, 2010 (the
IBM Lines Removal Deadline). If Landlord fails to cause the IBM Lines Removal to be completed on
or before the IBM Lines Removal Deadline, such failure shall constitute a Force Majeure Delay;
provided, however, that the IBM Lines Removal Deadline shall be extended one day for every day that
the IBM Lines Removal is delayed by reason of any acts or omissions of Tenant, Contractor,
Design-Build Subcontractors (as defined in Section 4.1.2 below), other subcontractors or employees
or agents of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that (a) Tenant is
moving its corporate headquarters to the Premises, which will involve physically relocating a
substantial number of employees, and substantial amounts of equipment, furniture, files, and other
items of Tenants property; and (b) that such move must be planned well in advance and must be
coordinated with the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in order to avoid
substantially disrupting Tenants business operations and to avoid substantial costs in relocating
Tenants property and obtaining temporary space or in holding over in Tenants existing leased
premises. Further, the calculation of damages due to a delay in the IBM Lines Removal would be
extremely difficult to fix and to prove. Therefore, Landlord and Tenant agree to liquidate such
damages as follows: If the IBM Lines Removal has not occurred on or before the IBM Lines Removal
Deadline (as the same may be extended above), then, regardless of whether the Substantial
Completion Date is delayed, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Basic Rental hereunder
equal to Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) (IBM Lines Removal Damages) for each day that the IBM
Lines Removal is delayed beyond the IBM Lines Removal Deadline (as the same may be extended above).
Both Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the amount of IBM Lines Removal Damages is presently
reasonable considering all of the circumstances existing as of the date of this Lease, including,
without limitation, the range of harm to Tenant that reasonably could be anticipated and the
anticipation that proof of actual damages would be extremely difficult and impracticable, and that
the payment of such liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty, but is intended
to constitute liquidated
Exhibit C, Page 4
damages. By executing this provision where indicated below, each party
specifically confirms the
accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each party fully understood the
consequences of these liquidated damages provisions at the time this Lease was made.

SECTION 2
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant
improvement allowance (the Tenant Improvement Allowance) in the amount of Eighteen Million Eight
Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($18,833,200.00) (calculated on the basis of One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises). In no event shall Landlord be
obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Improvement Agreement in a total amount
that exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. As a material inducement to Tenant entering into
the Agreement, Landlord shall cause to be delivered to Tenant, upon the mutual execution and
delivery of the Agreement, that certain Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C-2, pursuant to which Landlords payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be
guaranteed on the terms and conditions set forth therein.
2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
2.2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance Items. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Tenant Improvement Agreement, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord only
for the following items and costs related to the Premises (collectively the Tenant Improvement
Allowance Items):
(a) Payment of the fees and expenses of the Architect and the Engineers, as those terms
are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, safety and security, lighting,
telecommunications and other consultants required for the Tenant Improvements.
(b) The payment of plan check, permit and license and other governmental fees and charges
relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;
(c) The cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, after
hours charges, testing and inspection costs, freight elevator usage, hoisting and trash removal
costs, contractors fees and general conditions and Tenants construction management fees;
(d) The cost of furniture and cabling installed in the Premises;
(e) The cost of purchasing and installing any security system at the Premises;
(f) The cost of Tenants signage at the Real Property; and
(g) The cost of physically moving to the Premises.
2.2.2 Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance. Prior to the commencement of
construction of the Tenant Improvements, within twenty (20) days after written request by Tenant,
which request shall be made no more frequently than monthly, Landlord will make payments of the
Tenant Improvement Allowance directly to Tenant for the cost of Tenant Improvement Allowance Items
incurred by Tenant, including, but not limited to, costs for the Architect and consultants, based
on invoices delivered to Landlord; provided, however, that if the payee is entitled under
Applicable Laws to file a mechanics lien against the Real Property, Landlord may require receipt
of appropriate mechanics liens
Exhibit C, Page 5
releases as a condition to making any such payment. During the
construction of the Tenant
Improvements, Landlord shall make monthly disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance
for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to Tenant and shall authorize the release of monies to
Tenant as follows:
(a) Monthly Disbursements. During the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment of the Contractor, as that term is defined
in Section 4.1 of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, approved by Tenant, in a form reasonably
agreed upon by the parties, showing the schedule of values, by trade, of percentage of completion
of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed; (ii) an
Application and Certificate for Payment (AIA Document G702) signed by the Architect; (iii) invoices
from the Contractor, the Design-Build Subcontractors and all subcontractors for labor rendered and
materials delivered to the Premises; and (iv) executed conditional mechanics lien releases from
the Contractor and all subcontractors (along with unconditional mechanics lien releases with
respect to payments made pursuant to Tenants prior submission hereunder) and other parties
performing work or supplying construction materials for the Tenant Improvements in excess of
$50,000.00, which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as reasonably determined by
Landlord and Tenant, of California Civil Code Section 3262(d). Thereafter, Landlord shall deliver
a check to Tenant made payable to Tenant in payment of the lesser of: (A) the amounts so requested
by Tenant, as set forth in this Section 2.2.2(a) above, less a five percent (5%) retention of the
Tenant Improvement Allowance (the aggregate amount of such retentions to be known as the Final
Retention), or (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance (not including the Final Retention), within twenty (20) days after Landlords receipt of
Tenants payment request and other information required under the preceding sentence. Landlords
payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlords approval or acceptance of the work furnished
or materials supplied as set forth in Tenants payment request. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 2.2.2(b) below, (1) no retention shall be withheld
on any of Landlords payments hereunder to Tenant in connection with any payment requests for any
party other than the Contractor and the Contractors subcontractors and material suppliers), and
(2) no separate retention shall be withheld on any payments to Tenant if (x) Tenants Contract (as
defined in Section 4.2.1 below) with the Contractor already provides for a retention of at least
five percent (5%) on any progress payments payable by Tenant to the Contractor until Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements occurs, and (y) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set
forth in this Section 2.2.2(a) above, reflect at least a five percent (5%) retention.
(b) Retention. Subject to the provisions of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, if
Landlord is allowed to withhold a Final Retention, then a check for the Final Retention payable to
Tenant shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant following the completion of construction of the
Premises, provided that (i) no mechanics liens are then of record in connection with the design or
construction of the Tenant Improvements and Tenant delivers to Landlord properly executed mechanics
lien releases in compliance with both California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(2) and either Section
3262(d)(3) or Section 3262(d)(4) for the Contractor, all Design-Build Subcontractors and other
parties performing or supplying materials for the Tenant Improvement Work in excess of $50,000.00,
unless such recorded mechanics liens or failure to deliver mechanics lien releases is caused by
Landlords wrongful failure to disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance, (ii) Architect delivers
to Landlord a certificate, in a commercially reasonable form, certifying that the construction of
the Tenant Improvements in the Premises has been substantially completed in accordance with the
Approved Working Drawings, as modified by Change Orders, (iii) Tenant supplies Landlord with
evidence that all required governmental approvals required for Tenant to legally occupy the
Premises have been obtained, and (iv) Tenant has fulfilled its obligations pursuant to the terms of
Section 4.3 of this Tenant Improvement Agreement and has otherwise complied with Landlords
reasonable and customary close out requirements.
(c) Other Terms. Landlord shall only be obligated to make disbursements from the
Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by Tenant for Tenant Improvement
Allowance Items. In the event that Tenant shall fail to use the entire Tenant Improvement
Allowance for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, then following Substantial Completion of the
Tenant Improvements, Tenant may elect by written notice to Landlord, to apply any unused amount of
the Tenant
Exhibit C, Page 6
Improvement Allowance against the Basic Monthly Rent and Operating Expenses and Real
Property
Taxes first due and payable under this Lease, until the entire amount of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance is exhausted.
2.2.3 Offset Right. If Landlord wrongfully fails to disburse any amount of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance owing to Tenant pursuant to Section 2.2.2 above, then Tenant shall have the
right to pay the Contractor, the Architect and other consultants, as the case may be, directly, in
which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the amount so paid within five (5) business days
after Tenants submission to Landlord of receipted invoices therefor (accompanied by reasonable
supporting documentation). If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within such five (5) business day
period, then Tenant may withhold from future Rentals due under the Lease the sum owed Tenant, until
Tenant is reimbursed in full for the sum plus interest at the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord (and any Security Holder of which Tenant has
been given notice) a written notice of Tenants intent to pay the Contractor, the Architect or
other consultants, as the case may be, directly as provided above at least ten (10) business days
prior to making any such payment (which notice shall describe the basis on which Tenant asserts
that Landlord has wrongfully failed to disburse such amount), and Landlord may deliver to Tenant a
good faith written objection before the expiration of such ten (10) business day notice period, (a)
setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlords reasons for its claim that Landlord is not
required to make the disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and (b) submitting the
dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with Paragraph 34 of the Lease. If and to the extent
Landlord property objects and submits the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the preceding
sentence, then Tenant shall not exercise such rights unless and until the Arbitrator (as defined in
Paragraph 34.2 of the Lease) determines that Tenant has the right to exercise such rights.
SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain an
architect/space planner approved by Landlord (the Architect) to prepare the Construction
Drawings, as that term is defined in this Section 3.1. Landlords approval of proposed architects
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and shall be granted or denied within
three (3) business days after Tenants request for approval accompanied by reasonable background
information regarding the proposed architects. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it
disapproves of any architect within three (3) business days after the submission thereof, then
Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the architect in question. If Landlord initially
disapproves an architect and still disapproves a substitute architect submitted by Tenant within
three (3) business days following the second re-submittal thereof, then, so long as Tenant has
acted professionally, reasonably and in good faith, such continued disapproval shall thereafter be
deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay (on a day-for-day basis until Landlord approves such architect).
Landlord acknowledges its approval of IA Interior Architects as Architect for the Tenant
Improvements. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect hereunder shall be known
collectively as the Construction Drawings. All Construction Drawings shall comply with the
commercially reasonable drawing format and specifications, and shall be subject to Landlords
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall
instruct Architect to verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant
portions of the base building plans, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection
therewith. Landlords review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be
for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlords review of the same, or obligate Landlord to
review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly,
notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner,
architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be
rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlords space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants,
Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible
for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenants waiver and
indemnity set forth in this Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.
Exhibit C, Page 7
3.2 Final Space Plan. Tenant has provided Landlord with a preliminary space plan (the
Preliminary Space Plan) for the Premises, which is attached hereto as Exhibit C-1.
Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan for the
Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced.
The final space plan (the Final Space Plan) shall include a layout and designation of all
offices, laboratory space, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be
contained therein. Landlord shall advise Tenant within three (3) business days after Landlords
receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Premises of its approval or disapproval of the Final Space
Plan, it being understood that (i) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its
approval of the Final Space Plan, and (ii) if Landlord disapproves the Final Space Plan, Landlord
shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, together with a proposal for
modifications and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the item
proposed. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it disapproves of the Final Space Plan within
three (3) business days after the submission thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have
approved the Final Space Plans in question. If Landlord initially disapproves the Final Space
Plans and still disapproves the Final Space Plans within two (2) business days following the second
re-submittal thereof, then, so long as Tenant has acted professionally, reasonably and in good
faith to address and resolve any disapproved items, such continued disapproval shall thereafter be
deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay (on a day-for-day basis until Landlord approves the Final Space
Plans). At Tenants option, prior to the submission of the Final Working Drawings, as that term
is defined in Section 3.3, below, Tenant shall supply Landlord with intermediate stages of the
Construction Drawings, and the time frames and other conditions of Landlords approval of such
intermediate stages set forth in this 3.2 shall apply to all such intermediate stages.
3.3 Working Drawings. Upon the approval of the Final Space Plan by Landlord and
Tenant, Tenant shall request the Architect to complete the architectural and engineering drawings
for the Premises in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to
obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the Final Working Drawings) and shall submit the
same to Landlord for Landlords approval. For purposes hereof, the Final Working Drawings shall
not include any of the Design-Build Drawings (as defined in Section 3.4 below). Tenant shall
supply Landlord with four (4) copies of such Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant
within ten (10) business days after Landlords receipt of the Final Working Drawings of its
approval or disapproval of the Final Working Drawings, it being understood that (i) Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the Final Working Drawings, and (ii)
if Landlord disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Landlord shall specify in reasonable detail the
reasons for such disapproval and a proposal for modifications and the parties shall negotiate in
good faith to reach agreement on the item proposed, together with a description of further
information required in order for Landlord to approve the Final Working Drawings. If Landlord
fails to notify Tenant that it disapproves of the Final Working Drawings within ten (10) business
days after the submission thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Final Working
Drawings in question. If Landlord initially disapproves the Final Working Drawings and still
disapproves the Final Working Drawings within five (5) business days following the second
re-submittal thereof, then, so long as Tenant has acted professionally, reasonably and in good
faith to address and resolve any disapproved items, such continued disapproval shall thereafter be
deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay (on a day-for-day basis until Landlord approves the Final
Working Drawings). The Final Working Drawings shall be approved or deemed approved by Landlord
(the Approved Working Drawings) prior to the commencement of construction in the Premises by
Tenant.
3.4 Design-Build Drawings. The parties acknowledge that Tenant intends for
Design-Build Subcontractors to prepare drawings for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing
elements of the Tenant Improvement on a design-build basis (collectively, the Design-Build
Drawings). All Design-Build Drawings shall be subject to Landlords approval. Tenant shall
supply Landlord with four (4) copies of the Design-Build Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant
within ten (10) business days after Landlords receipt of the Design-Build Drawings of its approval
or disapproval of the Design-Build Drawings, it being understood that (i) Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the Design-Build Drawings, and (ii) if
Landlord disapproves the Design-Build Drawings, Landlord shall specify in reasonable detail the
reasons for such disapproval and a proposal for modifications and the parties shall negotiate in
good faith to reach agreement on the item proposed, together with a description of
Exhibit C, Page 8
further
information required in order for Landlord to approve the Design-Build Drawings. If Landlord
fails to notify Tenant that it disapproves of the Design-Build Drawings within ten (10) business
days after the submission thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Design-Build
Drawings in question. If Landlord initially disapproves the Design-Build Drawings and still
disapproves the Design-Build Drawings within five (5) business days following the second
re-submittal thereof, then, so long as Tenant has acted professionally, reasonably and in good
faith to address and resolve any disapproved items, such continued disapproval shall thereafter be
deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay (on a day-for-day basis until Landlord approves the Design-Build
Drawings). The Design-Build Drawings, as approved by Landlord, are referred to herein as the
Approved Design-Build Drawings.
3.5 Removal Obligation. Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 21.3 (Removal of
Property), Paragraph 24.3 (Lines), Paragraph 27.1 (Signs) and Paragraph 31.6 (Generator) of the
Lease, and in Paragraph 8 of Exhibit B-2 (Rooftop Installations), Tenant shall have no
obligation to remove any Tenant Improvements shown on the Preliminary Space Plan upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right, however, to require
Tenant to remove the Tenant Improvements described in any Change Orders, if Landlord notifies
Tenant in writing of such removal obligation as part of Landlords written notice to Tenant of
Landlords approval of the Change Order at issue.
3.6 Permits. After approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant may
submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits.
Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlords consultants shall be responsible for
obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that obtaining the
same shall be Tenants responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant
in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to
enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy. Tenant shall not commence
construction of any portions of the Tenant Improvement Work other than items that can be
constructed under a Letter of Intent to Frame until all required governmental permits are
obtained.
3.7 Change Orders. No material changes or modifications to the Approved Working
Drawings or Approved Design-Build Drawings shall be made unless by written Change Order signed by
Landlord and Tenant. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition its approval of
any request by Tenant, or by Tenants Contractor with Tenants written approval, to amend or change
the Approved Working Drawings or Approved Design-Build Drawings (any of the foregoing, a Change
Order). Notwithstanding to the contrary in this Tenant Improvement Agreement, Tenant may make
changes to the Approved Working Drawings or Approved Design-Build Drawings and Landlord shall not
have any right to approve such Tenant changes to extent such work (i) is required by the City of
San Jose or other applicable governmental body having jurisdiction over the Tenant Improvements,
and (a) is consistent with the design intent of the Approved Working Drawings, or Approved
Design-Build Drawings and (b) will not cost more than Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) per
occurrence; or (ii) consists of minor field changes that (c) are consistent with the intent or
required for the proper execution of the Approved Working Drawings or Approved Design-Build
Drawings, and (d) that will not materially adversely affect the design, use, or operation of the
Premises or Tenant Improvements. If any changes to the Approved Working Drawings or Approved
Design-Build Drawings are not approved or disapproved by Landlord in writing within three (3)
business days after such Landlords receipt of written request by Tenant, such item shall be deemed
approved. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it disapproves of the Change Order within three
(3) business days after the submission thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the
Change Order in question. Additionally, if Landlord disapproves of the item proposed by Tenant,
then Landlord shall deliver to Tenant its written explanation for such disapproval and proposal for
modifications and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the item
proposed. With respect to disputed items, if Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such
items within two (2) business days of Tenants receipt of a notice of disapproval from Landlord, so
long as Tenant has acted professionally, reasonably and in good faith, any such continued
disapproval shall be deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay. With respect to change orders that
Landlord has no right to approve, Tenant shall nevertheless provide prompt written notice to
Landlord of the type, scope and cost of the change.

SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Tenants Selection of Contractors.
4.1.1 The Contractor. Tenant shall retain a licensed general contractor approved by
Landlord (Contractor) to construct the Tenant Improvements. Landlords approval of the proposed
contractor shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and shall be granted or
denied within three (3) business days after Tenants request for approval, accompanied by
reasonable background information regarding the proposed contractor. If Landlord fails to notify
Tenant that it disapproves of the Contractor within three (3) business days after the submission
thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Contractor in question. If Landlord
initially disapproves a Contractor and still disapproves a substitute Contractor submitted by
Tenant within three (3) days following the second re-submittal or substitution thereof, then, so
long as Tenant has acted professionally, reasonably and in good faith, such continued disapproval
shall thereafter be deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay (on a day-for-day basis until Landlord
approves a Contractor). Landlord acknowledges its approval of the following Contractors for the
Tenant Improvements: Devcon Construction, South Bay Construction, San Jose Construction, and SC
Builders.
4.1.2 Subcontractors. The subcontractors, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant
for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing portions of the Tenant Improvement Work are
collectively referred to herein as Design-Build Subcontractors.
4.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements.
4.2.1 Construction Contract; Cost Budget. Prior to Tenants execution of the
construction contract and general conditions with Contractor (the Contract), Tenant shall submit
the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. If Landlord disapproves the Contract, then Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant its written explanation for such disapproval and proposal for modifications and the parties
shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the items proposed. If Landlord fails to notify
Tenant that it disapproves of the Contract within three (3) business days after the submission
thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Contract in question. If Landlord
initially disapproves the Contract and still disapproves a substitute Contract submitted by Tenant
within three (3) days following the second re-submittal or substitution thereof, then, so long as
Tenant has acted professionally, reasonably and in good faith, such continued disapproval shall
thereafter be deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay (on a day-for-day basis until Landlord approves
the Contract). Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after
Tenant has accepted all bids for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
detailed breakdown of the schedule of values, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which
have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be
performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor, which costs form a basis for the
amount of the Contract (the Final Costs). In the event that, after the Final Costs have been
delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant
Improvements shall change, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any additional costs
necessary to such design and construction in excess of the Final Costs.
4.2.2 Subcontractors.
(a) Landlords General Conditions for Subcontractors and Tenant Improvement Work.
Tenants and Tenants Contractor, Design-Build Subcontractors and other subcontractors performing
construction of the Tenant Improvements shall comply with the following: the Tenant Improvements
shall be constructed in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and Approved Design-Build
Drawings, as the same may be modified by approved Change Orders, and this Tenant Improvement
Agreement. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay nor shall Landlord have the right
Exhibit C, Page 10
to charge any
construction administration or supervision fee to Landlord in connection with construction of
the Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that any construction manager hired by Landlord
is solely to protect Landlords interests, and Landlord shall not be responsible for any defects in
the construction of the Tenant Improvements. If Landlord requires performance or payment bonds in
connection with construction of the Tenant Improvements, such bonds shall be provided at Landlords
expense, and shall not be deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
(b) Indemnity. Tenants indemnity of the Landlord Indemnitees as set forth in this
Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all Claims related in any way to any negligent act
or omission or willful misconduct of Tenants Contractor, Design-Build Subcontractors, or other
subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with
Tenants non-payment of any amount arising out of the Tenant Improvements (through no fault of
Landlord) and/or Tenants disapproval of all or any portion of any request for payment. Such
indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in this Lease, shall also apply with respect to any and all
costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlords performance of
any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (a) to permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements,
or (b) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises;
provided, however, that, with respect to any Landlord Indemnitee, Tenants obligations under this
Section shall be inapplicable to the extent (i) the Claims arise from the negligence of Landlord or
any other Landlord Indemnitee and are not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant
hereunder, or arise from the willful misconduct or criminal activity of any Landlord Indemnitee, or
(ii) such obligations are prohibited by Applicable Laws.
(c) Requirements of Tenants Contractor. Tenants Contractor shall guarantee to
Tenant that the portion of the Tenant Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from
any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date
of completion thereof. Tenants Contractor shall be responsible for the replacement or repair,
without additional charge, of all work done or furnished in accordance with its contract that shall
become defective within one (1) year after the later to occur of (i) completion of the work
performed by such contractor and (ii) the Lease Commencement Date. All such warranties or
guarantees as to materials or workmanship of or with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall be
contained in the Contract and shall be written such that such guarantees or warranties shall inure
to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant (and shall be assignable to Landlord in the event this Lease
is terminated). Tenant covenants to give to Landlord any assignment or other assurances which may
be necessary to effect such right of direct enforcement in the event this Lease is terminated.
(d) Insurance Requirements.
(1) General Coverages. Tenants Contractor shall carry workers compensation
insurance covering all of their respective employees, Products and Completed Operation Coverage
insurance and shall also carry commercial general liability insurance, including property damage,
and with commercially reasonable limits for tenant improvement projects of this size, in form and
with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease. Tenants
Contractor shall require all of the Design-Build Subcontractors and its other subcontractors to
carry appropriate insurance coverages in accordance with the approved Contract.
(2) Special Coverages. Tenant shall carry (or shall require its Contractor to carry)
commercially reasonable Builders Risk insurance covering the cost of construction of the Tenant
Improvements (Builders Risk Insurance).
(3) General Terms. Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section
4.2.2(d) shall be delivered to Landlord before the commencement of construction of the Tenant
Improvements and before the Contractors equipment is moved onto the site. All such policies of
insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any material
reduction in the amounts of such insurance. In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged
by any cause
Exhibit C, Page 11
during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the
same at no cost to Landlord, unless the Lease is terminated by either party hereto in accordance
with the terms of Paragraph
19 of the Lease, in which event Tenant shall have no such repair obligation (provided that the
same shall in no event have any effect on Landlords right to receive the proceeds from the
Builders Risk Insurance). Tenants Contractor, the Design-Build Subcontractors and other
subcontractors shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the Tenant
Improvements are fully completed and accepted by Landlord, except for any Products and Completed
Operation Coverage insurance required by Landlord, which is to be maintained for ten (10) years
following completion of the work. All policies carried under this Section 4.2.2(d) shall insure
Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as Contractor and Tenants Agents, and
without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall cause Landlord to be an additional named insured and
loss payee on the Builders Risk insurance (subject to Tenants rights to the insurance proceeds to
make the repairs as required above, and Tenants rights to amounts that exceed the Tenant
Improvement Allowance in the event that the Lease is terminated by either party hereto in
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 19 of the Lease). All property insurance maintained by
Tenants Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder.
Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance and that any other insurance maintained
by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder. The requirements
for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord
by Tenant under Section 4.2.2(b) of this Tenant Improvement Agreement.
4.2.3 Governmental Compliance. The Tenant Improvements shall comply in all respects
with the following: all local, state, and federal laws, codes, ordinances and regulations and
customary interpretations thereof.
4.2.4 Inspection by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant
Improvements at all times; provided, however, that Landlords failure to inspect the Tenant
Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlords rights hereunder nor shall
Landlords inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute Landlords approval of the same.
Should Landlord identify any work that does not materially conform to the Approved Working Drawings
or Approved Design-Build Drawings, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such non-conforming
work and shall specify the non-conforming work. Any such material deviation from the Approved
Working Drawings or Approved Design-Build Drawings shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to
Landlord. If Tenant disputes Landlords assertion of non-conforming work, the parties shall
diligently endeavor in good faith to resolve the dispute. If, despite their diligent good faith
efforts, the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within twenty (20) business days after
Tenant receives notice of such alleged non-conforming work, then either party may submit the
dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with Paragraph 34 of the Lease.
4.2.5 Meetings. Commencing within thirty (30) days after approval of the Architect
and the Contractor, Tenant shall hold regular meetings at a reasonable time, with the Architect and
the Contractor regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the
construction of the Tenant Improvements, which meetings shall be held at a location designated by
Tenant, and Landlord and/or its agents shall receive prior notice of, and shall have the right to
attend (in person or by telephone), all such meetings. In addition, any minutes that may be taken
at all such meetings by Tenant or its agents shall be promptly delivered to Landlord.
4.3 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans. Within ten (10) days after
completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause a Notice of Completion to
be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is located in
accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute,
and shall furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon such recordation. At the conclusion of
construction, (a) Tenant shall cause the Contractor or Architect to deliver to Landlord two (2) CD
ROMS of as-built drawings in accordance with standard CAD format requirements and (b) Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord a copy of all warranties and guaranties relating to the improvements,
equipment, and systems in the Premises.
Exhibit C, Page 12
4.4 Commencement Date.
4.4.1 Delay in Commencement Date. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts (without
requiring any overtime or after-hours work, or work to be performed on weekends or holidays
generally
recognized by the City of San Jose) to cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in
accordance with the provisions of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, and to achieve substantial
completion of the Tenant Improvements as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements is delayed beyond September 1, 2010, and such delay would not
have occurred but for a Landlord Delay and/or Force Majeure Delay, then the Commencement Date shall
be delayed one (1) day for each day that the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred as a
result of such Landlord Delay and/or Force Majeure Delay. Further, if Tenant is occupying or
conducting business in any portion of the Premises as of the Commencement Date set forth in the
Summary of Lease Terms, notwithstanding that the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred, then
the Commencement Date shall not be delayed with respect to the portion of the Premises so occupied
or used by Tenant.
4.4.2 Delay Damages. Landlord acknowledges that (i) Tenant is moving its corporate
headquarters to the Premises, which will involve physically relocating a substantial number of
employees, and substantial amounts of equipment, furniture, files, and other items of Tenants
property; and (ii) that such move must be planned well in advance and must be coordinated with the
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in order to avoid substantially disrupting
Tenants business operations and to avoid substantial costs in relocating Tenants property and
obtaining temporary space or in holding over in Tenants existing leased premises. Further, the
calculation of damages due to a delay in Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements would be
extremely difficult to fix and to prove. Therefore, Landlord and Tenant agree to liquidate such
damages as follows: If the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred on or before October 1,
2010, and such delay would not have occurred but for a Landlord Delay, then Tenant shall be
entitled to a credit against Basic Rental hereunder equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00)
(Delay Damages) for each day that the Substantial Completion Date is delayed beyond October 1,
2010 due to such Landlord Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision to the contrary, Tenant
agrees that if it occupies a portion of the Premises on or before October 1, 2010, whether or not
Substantial Completion has occurred with respect to such portion of the Premises, Tenant shall not
be entitled to Delay Damages for such occupied portion of the Premises. Both Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge that such amount is presently reasonable considering all of the circumstances existing
as of the date of this Lease, including, without limitation, the range of harm to Tenant that
reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actual damages would be
extremely difficult and impracticable, and that the payment of such liquidated damages is not
intended as a forfeiture or penalty, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages. By
executing this provision where indicated below, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of
the statements made above and the fact that each party fully understood the consequences of these
liquidated damages provisions at the time this Lease was made.

4.4.3 Definitions.
(a) For purposes of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, Substantial Completion shall mean the
date on which the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed (except for minor punch
list items) and Tenant is legally permitted to occupy the Premises (as evidenced by a temporary or
final certificate of occupancy, or final inspection and sign-off on the job card for the Tenant
Improvement Work, or reasonable equivalent). The Substantial Completion Date shall mean the date
when Substantial Completion has occurred. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord that Substantial
Completion has occurred and provide copies of the certificate of occupancy or other evidence
thereof. Promptly thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall set a mutually convenient time for Tenant,
Landlord, the Contractor and the Architect to inspect the Premises and the Tenant Improvements.
Exhibit C, Page 13
(b) For purposes of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, Force Majeure Delay shall mean any
actual delay in Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements that would not have occurred but
for (i) fire, earthquake, or other acts of God, or unusually severe weather conditions, (ii)
strikes, lockouts, or labor disputes beyond Tenants reasonable control, (iii) war, terrorism,
riot, or act of a public enemy, or (iv) delay occasioned by inability to obtain labor or materials
(or reasonable substitutes therefor) on an industry-wide basis and excluding any long lead items of
a specialized nature ordered by Tenant, (v) the undue and prolonged delay by any governmental
authority to process and issue necessary
permits within the typical and reasonable time period for the issuance of same, except to the
extent such delay is attributable to the acts or omission of Tenant, the Architect, the Contractor,
the Design-Build Subcontractors or any other of Tenants agents or employees, (vi) any other delays
specifically identified as Force Majeure Delays under this Tenant Improvement Agreement, or (vii)
any delay caused by the discovery, investigation and/or remediation of any Preexisting Hazardous
Substances discovered at the Premises during prosecution of the Tenant Improvements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to provide Landlord with written notice of a Force
Majeure Delay within ten (10) business days after the commencement thereof, the period of any Force
Majeure Delay shall be reduced for the period of time prior to the delivery of such notice.
(c) For purposes of this Tenant Improvement Agreement, Landlord Delay shall have the meaning
provided in Paragraph 2.2(b) of the Lease and shall also mean any actual delay in Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements that would not have occurred but for (i) Landlords failure
to timely respond to Tenants requests for approvals as provided in this Tenant Improvement
Agreement, (ii) Landlords failure to pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance when due as provided in
Section 2.2.2 above, (iii) Landlords failure to timely complete the Corrective Work, if any,
required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 2.2(d) of this Lease, or (iv)
unreasonable interference with the performance of the Tenant Improvements by Landlord, its
employees, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord Delay shall be deemed
to have occurred unless and until Tenant provides Landlord with written notice specifying the
action or inaction that Tenant asserts constitutes a Landlord Delay, and such action or inaction is
not cured within one (1) business day after Landlord receipt of such notice. If such action or
inaction is not cured within one (1) business day after Landlords receipt of notice, then a
Landlord Delay, as set forth in the notice, shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the
date of such notice and continuing for the number of days Substantial Completion of the Tenant
Improvements is in fact delayed solely as a result of such action or inaction.
4.4.4 Casualty or Eminent Domain. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in
this Tenant Improvement Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to or after the
Commencement Date, the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, or any portion of the
Building is taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof, then the provisions of
Sections 19 and 20, respectively, of the Lease shall control, and Landlord and Tenant shall be
entitled to exercise all of their respective rights and required to perform all of their respective
obligations thereunder.
SECTION 5
