WITNESSETH

 

                                WHEREAS, Sublandlord and Spieker Properties, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Master Landlord”) are parties to that certain Lease, dated as of February 7, 2000 (the “Master Lease”), whereby Sublandlord leased from Master Landlord certain premises in the building known as 555 Twin Dolphin Drive, Redwood City, California, as more particularly described in the Master Lease (the “Premises”);

 

                                WHEREAS, Sublandlord subleased the Premises to Subtenant pursuant to the terms of that certain Sublease, dated March 28, 2001, as amended (the “Sublease”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Sublease;

 

                                WHEREAS, Master Landlord consented to the Sublease pursuant to the terms of that certain Consent to Sublease Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2001, by and among Master Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant;

 

WHEREAS, the Parties now wish to amend the Sublease to, among other things, provide for an early termination of the Sublease, as provided in this Second Amendment.

 

                                NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Representations and Warranties.  Each of the Parties represents and warrants to each other that such Party has full power and authority (including full corporate power and authority) to execute and deliver this Second Amendment and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that this Second Amendment constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions.

 

2.                                       Amendments to Sublease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, the Parties hereby agree to amend the Sublease as follows:

 

(a)                                  Section 1.4 of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

 



 

1.4  Term:  Approximately 1 year and 8 months after the Commencement Date, beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Sublease.

 

(b)                                 Section 1.6 of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

 

1.6  Expiration Date:  November 30, 2002.

 

(c)                                  The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in consideration for the loss of rental income to Sublandlord as a result of the early termination of the Sublease, immediately upon the execution of this Second Amendment, and without the necessity for any further action or authorization from Subtenant, Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw down and convert to cash the entire amount of the LOC (which amount is $1,007,282.00) in accordance with the terms of the LOC, and retain such amount for its own benefit, and in no event shall Sublandlord be required to return any portion of such amount to Subtenant.  In addition, within ten (10) business days after the date hereof, Subtenant shall place into escrow a cash amount equal to $677,976.00, representing rental payments due under the Sublease for the months of August, September, October & November of 2002 (which sums shall be reserved for payment of rent hereunder), together with irrevocable instructions to the escrow agent to distribute from the escrow an amount equal to $169,494.00 to Sublandlord on the first (1st) day of each of said months.  The parties acknowledge that Subtenant’s legal counsel, Kelley Drye & Warren, may serve as escrow agent.

 

(d)                                 The Parties reaffirm the right of Sublandlord, pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Sublease, to show the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable times during the Term upon reasonable prior notice.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, in the event that Sublandlord procures a new tenant to occupy all or any portion of the Premises prior to the Expiration Date, Sublandlord shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to terminate this Sublease at any time prior to the Expiration Date with 60 days prior written notice to Subtenant.  In the event of a termination under this Section 2(d), Subtenant shall remain liable to Sublandlord for all Rent due under this Sublease through the Expiration Date, less the amount of any rent or similar payments paid by any new tenant occupying all or part of the Premises for all or part of the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the Expiration Date.

 

(e)                                  Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that on the Expiration Date, Subtenant shall surrender, transfer and convey to Sublandlord all of the property described on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Remaining

Personal Property”), provided however, that Subtenant shall be entitled to remove, and retain title to, all property not otherwise designated as Remaining Personal Property.   Title to the Remaining Personal Property shall be conveyed to Sublandlord pursuant to a bill of sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A.”

 

3.                                       Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Sublease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, provided however that once the Sublease is terminated Subtenant shall have no further obligation thereunder, or under the Master Lease, to either Sublandlord or Master Landlord, and each of Sublandlord and the Master Landlord shall have no further obligation thereunder, or under the Master Lease, to Subtenant.

 

4.                                       Release. Upon payment in full to Sublandlord of the rental payment obligations set forth herein, compliance by Subtenant with all of its obligations under the Sublease (including, but not limited to, those obligations relating to surrender of the Premises) and the release of shares of common stock from the Indemnity Fund, as that term is defined in the Escrow Agreement, dated March 28, 2001 between the parties (the “Escrow Agreement”), (i) the Master Landlord and Sublandlord, on their own behalf and on behalf of their affiliates, present and former parent companies, related entities, subsidiaries, assigns, predecessors and successors, hereby releases and forever discharges Subtenant and its affiliates, present and former parent companies, related entities, subsidiaries, assigns, predecessors and successors, of and from any and all manner of action or actions, claims, demands, damages, losses, actions, causes of action or suits of whatever kind or nature, whether known or not known to date hereof, which the Master Landlord and Sublandlord may have by reason of any matter, fact, cause or thing of any conceivable kind or character whatsoever, and/or relating to the Sublease, including this Second Amendment thereto, and with respect to Sublandlord only, the subject matter of the Stock Release Agreement between the Sublandlord and Subtenant date June 25, 2002, entered into concurrently with this Second Amendment (the “Stock Release Agreement”), including any all provisions related thereto in the Escrow Agreement, the Resale Restrictions Agreement (as defined in the Stock Release Agreement), and the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Stock Release Agreement) and (ii) Subtenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates, present and former parent companies, related entities, subsidiaries, assigns, predecessors and successors, hereby releases and forever discharges each of Sublandlord and the Master Landlord, and their respective affiliates, present and former parent companies, related entities, subsidiaries, assigns, predecessors and successors, of and from any and all manner of action or actions, claims, demands, damages, losses, actions, causes of action or suits of whatever kind or nature, whether known or not known to date hereof, which Subtenant may have by reason of any matter, fact, cause or thing of any conceivable kind or character whatsoever, and/or relating to the Sublease, including this Second Amendment thereto, and with respect to Sublandlord only,
