De Anza Boulevard, Suite 200 DEVELOPMENT Cupertino, CA 95014-2075 COMPANIES (408) 446-0700 FAX (408) 446-0583 1. PARTIES: THIS LEASE, is entered into on this 20th day of December, 1996, between SOBRATO INTERESTS III, a California Limited Partnership, whose address is 10600 North De Anza Boulevard, Suite 200, Cupertino, CA 95014 and CENTIGRAM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware Corporation, whose address is 91 East Tasman Drive, San Jose, CA 95134, hereinafter called respectively Landlord and Tenant. The effectiveness of this Lease is expressed conditioned upon (i) execution by Landlord and Tenant of the Adjacent Building Lease (as defined below), (ii) Tenant's receipt of a recognition and non-disturbance agreement in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant from Ground Lessor and from any and all other ground lessors with an interest in the Parcel (defined below) and from any and all lenders with a lien on the Ground Lease (defined below) or the Parcel, and (iii) Landlord's ability to obtain a building permit for construction of a building of not less than 100,000 rentable square feet with the number of parking spaces required by code. In the event any of the foregoing conditions have not been satisfied or waived by the parties within thirty (30) days following execution of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this lease by providing written notice to the other party. Upon the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy of Landlord's ground lessee's title insurance policy for the Parcel and, if in the possession or control of Landlord, a current preliminary title report for the Parcel reflecting the state of title to the Parcel. 2. PREMISES: Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hires from Landlord those certain Premises with the appurtenances, situated in the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, State of California, located within a four-story steel frame building to be constructed by Landlord consisting of approximately 110,881 rentable square feet (the "Building") on a parcel leased by Landlord from Kenji and Shizu Sakauye ("Ground Lessor") consisting of approximately 5.0 acres located at the corner of Guadalupe Parkway and North First Street as outlined in red on EXHIBIT "A" ("Parcel"). In addition Tenant shall have the right to use the common area consisting of all parking areas, sidewalks and landscape areas ("Common Area") surrounding the Building and an additional building of 110,881 square feet ("Adjacent Building") which Landlord intends to construct for Tenant and an existing historic Victorian home consisting of approximately 2,500 rentable square feet (the "Historic Home") on the adjacent land leased from Eiichi and Suzuye Sakauye totaling approximately 5.0 acres pursuant to another lease between the parties of even date herewith ("Adjacent Building Lease"). The Premises, the Adjacent Building, the Historic Home and the Common Area shall comprise the "Project". Tenant shall have exclusive use of approximately 370 parking spaces within the Parcel. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the term Premises as used herein shall include the Tenant Improvements (defined in Section 7.B) constructed by Tenant Page 1 <PAGE> pursuant to Section 7.B. Tenant acknowledges Landlord's right to and hereby consents to construction of the Adjacent Building. 3. USE: Tenant may use the Premises only for the following purposes and shall not change the use of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord: Office, research and development, marketing, light manufacturing, storage and other incidental uses. Landlord makes no representation or warranty that any specific use of the Premises desired by Tenant is permitted pursuant to any Laws. 4. TERM AND RENTAL: The term ("Lease Term") SHALL BE FOR ONE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR (144) MONTHS, commencing upon the later to occur of (i) two (2) months following the date on which Landlord allows Tenant access to the Premises to begin construction of the Tenant, Improvements as such two (2) month period is, extended by Landlord Delays (hereinafter defined), or (ii) substantial completion of the Building Shell, as defined in Section 7.D ("Commencement Date"), and ending one hundred forty four (144) months thereafter ("Expiration Date"). In addition to all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall initially pay as base monthly rent ("Base Monthly Rent") for the Premises in the amount of ONE HUNDRED FORTY ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN AND 68/00 DOLLARS ($141,927.68) commencing two (2) month period is extended by Landlord Delays (hereinafter defined). Commencing TWELVE (12) MONTHS following the Commencement Date, the Base Monthly Rent shall increase to One Hundred Forty Six Thousand Three Hundred Sixty Two and 92/100 Dollars ($146,362.92). As used herein, the term "Landlord Delays" shall mean delays in Tenant's construction of the Tenant Improvements that are caused by Landlord, Landlord's contractors, defects in the Building Shell and failure of the Building Shell to conform to the Final Building Shell Plans. Two months prior to the date Landlord reasonably estimates the Building Shell will be substantially completed, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice and shall exercise its best efforts to allow Tenant and its contractor and subcontractors access to the Premises to commence construction or installation of the Tenant Improvement Work. Such early access to the Premises shall not be permitted, however, if the same would materially delay or interfere with the completion of construction of the Building Shell. Base Monthly Rent shall be due in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset or deduction and without prior notice or demand, at the address specified in Section 1 of this Lease or at such place or places as may be designated by Landlord during the Lease Term. Base Monthly Rent for any period less than a calendar month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment. A. RENTAL ADJUSTMENT: Beginning thirty (30) months after the Commencement Date, and every thirty (30) months thereafter during the initial lease term (an "Adjustment Date"), the Page 2 <PAGE> then-payable Base Monthly Rent shall be subject to adjustment based on the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index that has occurred during the thirty (30) months preceding the then-applicable Adjustment Date. The basis for computing the adjustment shall be the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistic's Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-84=100, for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area ("Index"). The Index most recently published preceding the Commencement Date for the first Adjustment (or previous Adjustment Date, as applicable), shall be considered the "Base Index". If the Index most recently published preceding the Adjustment Date ("Comparison Index") is greater than the Base Index, the then-payable Base Monthly Rent shall be increased by multiplying the then-payable Base Monthly Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Comparison Index and the denominator of which is the Base Index. On adjustment of the Base Monthly Rent, Landlord shall notify Tenant by letter stating the new Base Monthly Rent. Landlord's failure to adjust Base Monthly Rent on an Adjustment Date shall not prevent Landlord from retroactively adjusting Base Monthly Rent at any subsequent time during the Lease Term. If the Index base year is changed so that it differs from 1982-84=100, the Index shall be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the Lease Term, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the index had not been discontinued or revised. 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT: Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($140,000.00) ("Security "Deposit"). Landlord shall not be required to separate the Security Deposit from Landlord's other funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of the Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to payment of Base Monthly Rent or other charges, Landlord may, to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy Tenant's default, use any or all of the Security Deposit towards payment of the following: (i) Base Monthly Rent or other charges in default; (ii) any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default; and (iii) any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand from Landlord, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its full original amount, and shall pay to Landlord such other sums as necessary to reimburse Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord. The Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date and surrender of the Premises to Landlord, less any amount deducted in accordance with this Section, together with Landlord's written notice itemizing the amounts and purposes for such deduction. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest. Page 3 <PAGE> At Tenant's election, in lieu of the Security Deposit, Tenant may at any time simultaneously with, or following the execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord an irrevocable letter of credit payable in favor of Landlord in the amount of One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($140,000). The letter of credit shall provide that it is automatically renewable until the date that is not earlier than the expiration of the term hereby demised without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord; provided that the issuing bank shall have the right not to renew said letter of credit on written notice to Landlord not less than the expiration of the then current term thereof (it being understood, however, that the privilege of the issuing bank not to renew said letter of credit shall not, in any event, diminish the obligation of Tenant to maintain such irrevocable letter of credit with Landlord through the expiration of the term hereby demised). The form and terms of the letter of credit, and the bank issuing the same, shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and the letter of credit shall provide, among other things, in effect that: (i) Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the amount of the sums then due to Landlord under this Lease upon the presentation to the issuing bank of Landlord's (or Landlord's then managing agent's) statement that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, is being understood that such statement shall be duly signed by a general partner of Landlord; (ii) The letter of credit will be honored by the issuing bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether the Tenant disputes the content of such statement; (iii) In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the letter of credit to the Transferee and the provision hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said letter of credit to a new Landlord (or it Tenant is not able to obtain a transferable letter of credit, then Tenant shall cause the letter of credit to be replaced or amended such that the new Landlord may draw). If as a result of any such application of all or any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the letter of credit shall be less than $140,000, Tenant shall forthwith provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit (or a cash security deposit) in an amount equal to the deficiency. Any such cash security deposit, and any proceeds of the letter of credit which are not applied to sums owed by Tenant to Landlord, shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit under the first two paragraphs of this Section 5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the letter of credit expires earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the term of this Lease, or the issuing bank notifies Landlord that it shall not renew the letter of credit, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof or substitute letter of credit (such renewal or substitute letter of credit to be in effect not later than the expiration of the expiring letter of credit), irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided upon the same terms as the expiring letter of credit or such other terms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. However, (i) if the letter of credit is not timely renewed or a substitute letter of credit is Page 4 <PAGE> not timely provided, (ii) or if Tenant fails to maintain the letter of credit in the amount and terms set forth in this Section 5, Tenant must promptly deposit with Landlord cash security in the amounts required by, and to be held subject to and in accordance with, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the first two paragraphs of this Section 5, failing which the Landlord may present such letter of credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of this Section 5, and the entire amount of the letter of credit shall be paid to Landlord and shall be held by Landlord as provided in the first two paragraphs of this Section 5. 6. LATE CHARGES: Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base Monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to: administrative, processing, accounting, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any contract, revolving credit, mortgage, or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or its designee when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of such overdue amount, which late charge shall be due and payable on the same date that the overdue amount was due. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant a notice to pay rent or quit if the Base Monthly Rent is not received when due and further agrees to waive said late charge in the event all amounts set forth in such notice are paid in full by cashier's check within five (5) days after Landlord's service upon Tenant of such notice. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance by Landlord of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. 7. CONSTRUCTION AND POSSESSION: A. BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION. Landlord shall cause the shell of the Building ("Building Shell") to be constructed by independent contractors to be employed by and under the supervision of Landlord's affiliated construction company, Sobrato Construction Corporation in accordance with the conceptual Building Shell plans and guideline specifications prepared by Arctec ("Architect") and approved by Landlord and Tenant, which are attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B" ("Preliminary Shell Plans and Specifications") and Final Building Shell Plans (defined in subsection 7.C below). Landlord shall construct the Building Shell in accordance with all applicable municipal, local, state and federal laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances, and shall correct any violations of such laws at no cost to Tenant. Landlord shall pay for all costs and expenses associated with the construction of the Building Shell. The Building Shell shall include those items set forth in the attached EXHIBIT "C" ("Building Shell Definition"). B. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, has also Page 5 <PAGE> hired the Architect to prepare plans and outline specifications which will be attached hereto upon completion as EXHIBIT "D" ("Tenant Improvement Plans and Specifications") with respect to the construction of improvements to the interior premises ("Tenant Improvements"). The Tenant Improvements shall consist of all items not included within in the scope of the Building Shell Definition. Tenant has hired Permian Builders as the general contractor for the Tenant Improvements ("General Contractor"). Tenant shall cause the General Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with all Tenant Improvement Plans and Specifications. Landlord shall provide Tenant a work allowance to be utilized by Tenant for the construction of Tenant Improvements ("Work Allowance") in the amount of One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,650,000.00). The Work Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant as payments become due to General Contractor. The Tenant Improvements shall become the property of Tenant upon installation and shall not be removed or altered by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord as provided in Section 10. Tenant shall have the right to depreciate and claim and collect any investment tax credits in the Tenant Improvements during the Lease Term. Upon expiration of the Lease Term or any earlier termination of the Lease, the Tenant Improvements shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, and title thereto shall automatically vest in Landlord without any payment therefore. C. FINAL BUILDING SHELL PLANS. Within thirty (30) days following execution of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver the final Building Shell Plans and Specifications for Tenant's review and approval ("Final Building Shell Plans"). The Final Building Shell Plans shall include those items set forth in the Building Shell Definition attached as EXHIBIT "C" and shall be a natural evolution of do Preliminary Building Shell Plans and Specifications attached as EXHIBIT "B". Tenant's approval of the Final Building Shell Plans is not a representation or warranty that such improvements illustrated therein are in compliance with applicable building codes or the ADA. D. CHANGE ORDERS. Tenant shall have the right to order changes in the manner and type of construction of the Building Shell. Any change order submitted by Tenant after ten (10) days from the date of issuance by the City of San Jose of a building permit for the construction of the Building Shell, which causes either Landlord's construction schedule to be delayed, shall cause the Commencement Date to occur one (1) day in advance of the date the Building Shell is Substantially Complete (as defined in Section 7.E) for each day of delay. Upon request and prior to Tenant's submitting any binding change order Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with written statements of the cost to implement and the time delay and increased construction costs associated with any proposed change order, which statements shall be binding on Landlord. If no time delay or increased construction cost amount is noted on the written statement, the parties agree that there shall be no adjustment to the construction cost or the Commencement Date associated with such change order. If ordered by Tenant, Landlord shall implement such change order and the cost of constructing the Building Shell shall be increased in accordance with the cost statement previously Page 6 <PAGE> delivered by Landlord to Tenant for any such change order. E. CONSTRUCTION. Landlord shall use its best efforts to obtain a building permit from the City of San Jose as soon as possible after Tenant's approval of the Final Building Shell Plans. The Building Shell shall be deemed substantially complete ("Substantially Complete") when (i) the Building Shell has been substantially completed in accordance with the Final Building Shell Plans, as evidenced by the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent by the appropriate governmental authority for the Building Shell, and the issuance of a certificate by the Architect certifying that the Building Shell have been completed in accordance with the Final Building Shell Plans and (ii) only punch list type work remains to be completed and such punch list work does not materially affect Tenant's ability to use the Premises in the manner contemplated by this Lease. F. INSURANCE/INDEMNITY. Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against all liability, cost, expense, or damage, including attorneys fees, arising from construction of the Building Shell; construction defects; or failure to properly construct the Building Shell in accordance with the approved Final Building Shell Plans. Tenant's review and approval of plans, specifications, or any other documents shall not relieve Landlord from its obligations under the foregoing indemnification. Landlord shall procure a "Broad Form" liability insurance policy on an occurrence basis, with a minimum combined single limit in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), insuring all Landlord's construction activities with respect to the Building and Premises naming Tenant and Permian Builders as additional insureds and Landlord shall cause its general contractor to procure a "Broad Form" liability insurance policy on an occurrence basis, with a minimum combined single limit in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) insuring all of such general contractors' construction activities with respect to the Building and Premises and naming Tenant and Permian Builders as additional insureds. Such insurance shall not be modified or canceled without thirty (30) days prior notice to Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, cost, expense, or damage including attorneys fees, arising from construction of the Tenant Improvements; construction defects; or failure to properly construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the approved Tenant Improvement Plans and Specifications. Landlord's review and approval of plans, specifications, or any other documents shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations under the foregoing indemnification. Tenant shall cause General Contractor to procure a "Broad Form" liability insurance policy, on an occurrence basis, in a minimum combined single limit in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), insuring all General Contractor's construction activities with respect to the Building and Premises naming Landlord and Sobrato Construction Corporation as additional insureds. Such insurance shall not be modified or canceled without thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord. Landlord shall also procure (as a cost of the Building Shell) builder's risk insurance for the Page 7 <PAGE> full replacement cost of the Building Shell and Tenant Improvements while the Building and Tenant Improvements are under construction, up until the date that the fire insurance policy described in Lease Section 12 is in full force and effect. G. PUNCH LIST & WARRANTY. After the Building Shell is Substantially Complete, Landlord shall immediately correct any construction defect or other "punch list" item which Tenant brings to Landlord's attention. All such work shall be performed so as to cause the least possible interruption to Tenant and its activities on the Premises. Landlord shall cause its contractor to provide a standard contractor's warranty with respect to the Building Shell for one (1) year from the Commencement Date and Landlord shall warrant the Building Shell against defects in workmanship or material for one (1) year from the Commencement Date. Such warranties shall exclude routine maintenance, damage caused by Tenant's negligence or misuse, and acts of God. Landlord shall also promptly correct or cure, after written notice from Tenant given from time to time and at no cost to Tenant, any failure of the Building Shell to comply with laws in effect as of the date of completion of the Building Shell (including, without limitation, building code violations). H. OTHER WORK BY TENANT. All work not within the scope of work not described in the Shell Plans and Specifications shall be furnished and installed by Tenant or the General Contractor. When the construction of the Building Shell has proceeded to the point where the construction of the Tenant Improvements may begin, Landlord shall notify General Contractor and shall permit General Contractor and its authorized representatives and contractors access to the Premises before the Commencement Date without the payment of rent for the purpose of constructing the Tenant Improvements. Any such installation work by Tenant or its General Contractor shall be undertaken upon the following conditions: (i) if the entry into the Premises by Tenant or its representatives or contractors interferes with or delays Landlord's work, Tenant shall cause the party responsible for such interference or delay to leave the Premises; and (ii) any contractor used by Tenant or its General Contractor in connection with such entry and installation shall use union labor if the use of nonunion labor would disrupt Landlord's work when both Landlord and Tenant's contractors are working in the Premises. I. LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION: Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Premises are not Substantially Complete on or before that date which is eight (8) months following the date on which Landlord obtains a building permit from the City of San Jose allowing Landlord to begin construction of the Building, Tenant shall be entitled to rental abatement hereunder of one (1) day's rent for each day beyond said eight (8) month period in which the Building Shell is not Substantially Complete (i.e., the date on which Tenant is required to commence paying rent under this Lease shall be extended by one day for each day beyond said eight month period during which the Building Shell is not Substantially Complete). The above dates shall be extended one day for every day of delay in completion caused by labor strikes, material shortages, inclement weather, Tenant Delays or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord ("Force Page 8 <PAGE> Majeure Delays"); provided, however, that Landlord must notify Tenant in writing within five (5) days after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure Delay, and if Landlord does not so notify Tenant in writing, then the applicable Force Majeure Delay shall be deemed not to have commenced until the date which is five (5) days prior to the date Tenant actually receives written notice from Landlord advising Tenant of the applicable Force Majeure Delay event. If the Premises are not Substantially Complete on or before May 1, 1998 (the "Latest Completion Date"), then Tenant may terminate this Lease and the Adjacent Building Lease by written notice to Landlord given on or before May 15, 1998. The Latest Completion Date shall be extended by Tenant Delays but not by delays in completion caused by labor strikes, material shortages, inclement weather or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (other than Tenant Delays). The delay in the commencement of rent, the abatement of rent, and termination right provided above shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Tenant with respect by the failure by Landlord to achieve Substantial Completion by the Commencement Date. 8. ACCEPTANCE OF POSSESSION AND COVENANTS TO SURRENDER: On the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver and Tenant shall accept the Premises as being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, and shall accept the Premises and the other improvements in their present condition, subject to (i) a reservation of claims of latent defects, (ii) the warranties from Landlord contained in this Lease, (iii) Landlord's obligations under Section TG to correct construction defects, (iv) any failure of the Building Shell to comply with laws in effect as of the date of completion, and (v) Landlord's obligation to complete punch list items, and (vi) Landlord and its general contractor's one (1) year warranties described in Section 7.G above, and any other applicable warranties. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to be in occupancy of at least fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises. Tenant further agrees on Expiration Date or on the sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. "Good condition" means that all interior calls, floors, suspended ceilings, and carpeting within the Premises will be cleaned to the same condition as existed at the Commencement Date, normal wear and tear and acts of God excepted. Tenant agrees, at its sole cost, to remove all phone and data cabling from the suspended ceiling, repair or replace broken ceiling tiles, and relevel the ceiling if required due to Tenant's cabling. On or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all its personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises. All property and fixtures not so removed shall be deemed as abandoned by Tenant. Approximately sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether Landlord will require the removal of any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, except for such Alterations Landlord has previously agreed to allow to remain on the Premises pursuant to paragraph 10 below. If Landlord shall so require, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, remove such Alterations as Landlord requires and shall repair and restore said Premises or such Page 9 <PAGE> parts thereof before the Expiration Date. Such repair and restoration shall include causing the Premises to be brought into compliance with all applicable building codes and laws in effect at the time of the removal to extent such compliance is necessitated by the repair and restoration work. In no event, however, shall Tenant be required to remove any of the Tenant Improvements constructed by Tenant prior to its initial occupancy of the Premises. If the Premises are not surrendered at the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease in the condition required by this Section 8, Tenant shall be deemed in a holdover tenancy pursuant to Section 34, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay. 9. USES PROHIBITED: Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed on the Premises any waste, nuisance, or other act or thing which disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in or around the Premises, nor allow any sale by auction or any other use of the Premises for an unlawful purpose. Tenant shall not place any loads upon the floor, walls, or ceiling which endanger the structure, nor use any machinery or apparatus which harmfully vibrate or shake the Premises, nor shall Tenant place any harmful liquids, waste materials, or hazardous materials in the drainage system or upon or in the soils surrounding the Building. No materials, supplies, equipment, finished products or semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any nature, or any waste materials, refuse, scrap or debris, shall be stored upon or permitted to remain on any portion of the Premises outside of the Building except in storage enclosures designed for such purposes. 10. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS: Tenant shall be entitled without obtaining Landlord's consent, to make any alteration or addition to the Premises ("Alterations") which (i) does not affect the structure of the Building, (ii) cost does not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per alteration nor an aggregate of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in any twelve (12) month period. All other Alterations shall require Landlord's consent. If Landlord's consent is required, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the proposed architectural and structural plans for the Alteration and Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) business days thereafter to grant its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall indicate in writing to Tenant at the time of Tenant's request, whether or not Landlord will require Tenant to remove such Alteration at the Expiration Date. If, at the time Landlord consents to any Alteration, Landlord does not require Tenant to remove such Alteration at the Expiration Date, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived such right to require Tenant to remove such Alteration so consented to. After obtaining Landlord's consent, Tenant shall not proceed to make such Alterations until Tenant has obtained all required governmental approvals and permits, and provided Landlord reasonable security, in form reasonably approved by Landlord, to protect Landlord against mechanics' lien claims (if such Alterations exceed $1,000,000 in cost). Tenant agrees to provide Landlord written notice of the anticipated and actual start-date of the work, and a complete set of half-size (15" X 21") vellum as-built drawings. All Alterations shall be constructed in compliance with applicable buildings codes Page 10 <PAGE> and laws. Any Alterations, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall become at once a part of the realty and belong to Landlord but shall nevertheless be subject to removal by Tenant as provided in this Section 10 and Section 8 above. Alterations which are not deemed as trade fixtures include heating, lighting, electrical systems, air conditioning, partitioning, carpeting, or any other installation which has become an integral part of the Premises. All Alterations shall be maintained, replaced or repaired by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. 11. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES: A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no responsibility to perform any repair, maintenance or improvement (i) necessitated by the acts or omissions of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, (ii) occasioned by fire, acts of God or other casualty, whether or not covered by insurance, or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, (iii) required as a consequence of any violation of laws or construction defect in the Premises existing as of the Commencement Date, or (iv) for which Landlord has a right of reimbursement from others. Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of a service contract between Tenant and: (i) a licensed air conditioning and heating contractor providing for bi-monthly maintenance of all air conditioning and heating equipment at the Premises; and (ii) a licensed elevator maintenance contractor providing for monthly maintenance of all elevator related systems. Tenant shall pay the cost of all air conditioning, heating, and elevator equipment repairs or replacements which are excluded from such service contract or any existing equipment warranties. All wall surfaces and floor tile are to be maintained in an as good a condition as when Tenant took possession free of holes, gouges, or defacements. Tenant shall also be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the preventive maintenance of the membrane of the roof, which responsibility shall be deemed properly discharged if Tenant contracts, at as sole cost, with a licensed roof contractor reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord to inspect the roof membrane at least every six (6) months, with the first inspection due the sixth (6th) month after the Commencement Date; and Tenant performs, at Tenant's sole cost, all preventive maintenance recommendations made by such contractor within a reasonable time after such recommendations are made. Such preventive maintenance might include acts such as clearing storm gutters and chains, removing debris from the roof membrane, trimming trees overhanging the roof membrane, applying coating materials to seal roof penetrations, repairing blisters, and other routine measures. Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of such preventive maintenance contract and paid invoices for the recommended work.

HAZARD INSURANCE: A. TENANT'S USE: Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises, or any part thereof, to be used for any purpose other than that for which the Premises are hereby leased; and no use of the Premises shall be made or permitted, nor acts done, which will cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Premises or any part thereof, nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be sold, kept, or used in or about the Premises, any article prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policies. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, comply with all reasonable requirements of any insurance company or organization necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Premises and appurtenances. B. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE: Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in force fire, extended coverage, earthquake (at Landlord's election if commercially available and required by Landlord's lender), owner's liability, and 12-month rental loss insurance. The amount of the fire, extended coverage and earthquake insurance shall equal the replacement cost of the Building Shell and Tenant Improvements as determined by Landlord's insurance company's appraisers. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent, on demand, the full cost of said insurance as evidenced by insurance billings to Landlord, and in the event of damage covered by said insurance, the amount of any deductible under such policy. In no event, however, shall Tenant's obligation to reimburse Landlord for the deductible exceed $25,000.00. Payment shall be due to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written invoice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's obligation to pay the cost of earthquake insurance premiums shall be limited to an amount no greater than four (4) times the cost of the fire and extended coverage premiums.

TENANT'S INSURANCE: Tenant agrees, at as sole cost, to insure its personal property, Tenant Improvements (for which it has paid from sources other than the Work Allowance), and Alterations for their full replacement value (without depreciation) and to obtain worker's compensation and public liability and property damage insurance for occurrences within the Premises with combined limits for bodily injury and property damage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and a general aggregate limit of at least $5,000,000.00. Tenant's liability insurance shall be primary insurance containing a cross-liability endorsement, and shall provide coverage on an "occurrence" rather than on a "claims made" basis. Tenant shall name Landlord and Landlord's lender as an additional insured and shall deliver a copy of the policies and renewal certificates to Landlord. All such policies shall provide for thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord of any cancellation, termination, or reduction in coverage, D. WAIVER: To the extent of the insurance proceeds paid by the applicable insurance company, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage sustained by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, or to the Premises or its contents or any other property, which may arise from any risk covered by their respective insurance policies (or which would have been covered had such insurance policies been maintained in accordance with this Lease) as set forth above or which are otherwise maintained by Landlord or Tenant. The parties shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain from their respective insurance companies a waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. 13. TAXES: Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay as additional rental, prior to delinquency, the following: (i) all taxes and assessments levied against Tenant's personal property and trade or business fixtures; (ii) all real estate taxes and assessment installments or other impositions or charges which may be levied on the Premises or upon the occupancy of the Premises, including any substitute or additional charges which may be imposed applicable to the Lease Term; and (iii) real estate tax increases due to a sale, transfer or other change of ownership of the Premises as it appears on the City and County tax bills during the Lease Term. Tenants obligation under this Section shall be prorated to reflect the Lease Commencement and Expiration Dates. If, at any time during the Lease Term a tax, excise on rents, business license tax or any other tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute or addition, in whole or in part, for taxes assessed or imposed on land or Buildings, Tenant shall pay and discharge its pro rata share of such tax or excise on rents or other tax before it becomes delinquent; except that this provision is not intended to cover net income taxes, inheritance, gift or estate tax imposed upon Landlord. In the event that a tax is placed, levied, or assessed against Landlord and the taxing authority takes the position that Tenant cannot pay and discharge its pro rata share of such tax on behalf of Landlord, then at Landlord's sole election, Landlord may increase the Base Monthly Rent by the exact amount Page 13 <PAGE> of such tax and Tenant shall pay such increase. Both Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to seek a reduction in the assessed value of the Premises. If by virtue of any application or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Landlord, there results a reduction in the assessed value of the Premises during the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such application or proceeding provided such costs do not exceed the present value of the savings. 14. UTILITIES: Tenant shall pay directly to the providing utility all water, gas, electric, telephone, and other utilities supplied to the Premises. Except due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable for loss of or injury to person or property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to furnishing or failure to furnish utilities to the Premises, and, except as provided in Section 44, Tenant shall not be entitled to abatement or reduction of any portion of Base Monthly Rent or any other amount payable under this Lease. 15.

FREE FROM LIENS: Tenant shall keep the Premises free from all liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant or claimed to have been performed for Tenant In the event Tenant fails to discharge any such lien within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of the filing, Landlord shall be entitled to discharge the lien at Tenant's expense and all resulting costs incurred by Landlord, including attorney's fees shall be due from Tenant as additional rent. 17. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS: Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with and faithfully observe in its use of the Premises all laws, regulations and other requirements of all Municipal, County, State and Federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to Tenant's specific use of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant (whether Landlord be a party thereto or not) that Tenant has violated any such law, regulation or other requirement in its use of the Premises shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. If any improvement or alteration to the Premises is required as a result of any future laws or regulations affecting the Premises not related to Tenant's specific use of the Premises, and provided further said improvement or alteration is not required because of Alterations made by Tenant, the cost of such improvements shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant such that Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount determined as follows: Page 14 <PAGE> (a) all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord to construct such improvement shall be fully amortized over the useful life of such improvement with interest on the unamortized balance at the prevailing market rate Landlord would pay if A borrowed funds to construct such improvements from an institutional lender, and Landlord shall inform Tenant of such monthly amortization payment required to so amortize such costs, and shall also provide Tenant with the information upon which such determination is made; and (b) as additional rent, Tenant shall pay the monthly amortization payment with respect to any such capital improvement required as a result of any future law or regulation affecting the Premises which is not related to Tenant's specific use of the Premises as stated above. Tenant's obligation to make payments hereunder with respect to any particular capital improvement shall commence when such improvement has been substantially completed and shall cease upon the earlier of the expiration of the Lease term (but not upon a termination due to any Event of Default on the part of Tenant) or the end of the term over which the costs of constructing the particular improvement were amortized. Payments of such additional rent required under this Section 17 shall be made concurrently with payments of Base Monthly Rent. 18. TOXIC WASTE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: A. TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY: Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not bring, use, or permit upon the Premises, or generate, create, release, emit, or dispose (nor permit any of the same) from the Premises any chemicals, toxic or hazardous gaseous, liquid or solid materials or waste, including without limitation, material or substance having characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity or substances or materials which are listed on any of the Environmental Protection Agency's lists of hazardous wastes or which are identified in Division 22 Title 26 of the California Code of Regulations as the same may be amended from time to time ("Hazardous Materials") unless such Hazardous Materials are used (i) in compliance with all applicable laws, and (ii) are commonly used in connection with general office use. In order to obtain consent, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord its written proposal describing the toxic material to be brought onto the Premises, measures to be taken for storage and disposal thereof, safety measures to be employed to prevent pollution of the air, ground, surface and ground water. Landlord's approval may be withheld in its reasonable judgment.

Tenant shall provide Landlord prompt written notice of Tenant's monitoring, cleanup and remedial steps. Page 16 <PAGE> In the absence of an order of any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental agency relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action required by applicable law, any dispute arising between Landlord and Tenant concerning Tenant's obligation to Landlord under this Section 18.C concerning the level, method, and manner of cleanup, remediation or response action required in connection with such a release of Hazardous Materials shall be resolved by mediation and/or arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section 45 of this Lease. D. LANDLORD'S INDEMNITY REGARDING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Tenant related to the removal, investigation, monitoring or remediation of Hazardous Materials which are present on the Premises as of the Commencement Date or which come to be present on the Premises due to the acts of Landlord, its employees, agents, or contractors.

If Landlord discovers that Tenant is not in compliance with the terms of this Section 18, any such reasonable costs incurred by Landlord, including attorneys' and consultants' fees, shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Landlord's written demand therefore. 19. INDEMNITY: As a material part of the consideration rendered to Landlord, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damages to goods, wares and merchandise, and all other personal property in, upon or about said Premises and for injuries to persons in or about said Premises, from any cause (other than due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, invitees and contractors) arising at any time to the fullest extent permitted by law, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord exempt and harmless from any damage or Page 17 <PAGE> injury to any person, or to the goods, wares and merchandise and all other personal property of any person, arising from the use of the Premises, Building, and/or Project by Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents and invitees or from the failure of Tenant to keep the Premises in good condition and repair as herein provided, except to the extent due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents, invitees, or contractors.

The notice requirements set forth herein are in lieu of and not in addition to the notices required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161. Any notice given by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure 1161 regarding Tenant's failure to pay rent under this Lease by the date due shall provide Tenant with a period of at least ten (10) days to pay such rent or quit. A. REMEDIES: In the event of any such default by Tenant, then in addition to other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event Landlord elects to so terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant all the following: (i) the worth at time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; (ii) the worth at time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent 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; (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and (v) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by applicable California law. The term "rent", as used herein, is defined as the minimum monthly installments of Base Monthly Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, all such other sums being deemed as additional rent due hereunder. As used in (i) and (ii) above, "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at a rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus five (5%) percent per annum. As used in (iii) above, "worth at the time of award" 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 (1%) percent. B. RIGHT TO RE-ENTER: In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, after terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property.

ABANDONMENT: If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Page 19 <PAGE> Section 22.A or 22.B above, then the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1951.4, (Landlord may continue the lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due if Tenant has a right to sublet and assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) as amended from time to time, shall apply and Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to so relet, rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following order to: (i) the payment of any indebtedness other than Base Monthly Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) the payment of any cost of such reletting; (iii) the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises necessary to relet the Premises; and (iv) the payment of Base Monthly Rent due and unpaid hereunder. The residual rentals, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Base Monthly Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. In the event the portion of rentals received from such reletting which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder during any month be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. D. NO TERMINATION: Landlord's re-entry or taking possession of the Premises pursuant to 22.13 or 22.C of this Section 22 shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default. 23. SURRENDER OF LEASE: The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not automatically effect a merger of the Lease with Landlord's ownership of the Premises. Instead, at me option of Landlord, Tenant's surrender may terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or may operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases or subtenancies, thereby creating a direct Landlord-Tenant relationship between Landlord and any subtenants. 24. This paragraph intentionally left blank. 25. LANDLORD IS DEFAULT: In the event of Landlord's failure to perform any of its covenants or agreements under this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such failure and shall give Landlord thirty (30) days to cure or commence to cure such failure prior to any claim Page 20 <PAGE> for breach or resultant damages, provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-day period, Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it commences within such period to cure, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. Further in the event that this Lease is terminated due to an uncured default by Landlord, Tenant shall also have the right to terminate the Adjacent Building Lease after written notice and expiration of any applicable cure period. Upon any such failure by Landlord, Tenant shall also give notice by registered or certified mail to any person or entity with a security interest in the Premises ("Mortgagee") that has provided Tenant with notice of its interest in the Premises, and shall provide Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure, including such time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effectuate a cure. Tenant agrees that each of the Mortgagees to whom this Lease has been assigned is an expressed third-party beneficiary hereof. Tenant shall not make any prepayment of rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Tenant waives any right under California Civil Code Section 1950.7 or any other present or future law to the collection of any payment or deposit from Mortgagee or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of Mortgagee's interest unless Mortgagee or such purchaser shall have actually received and not refunded the applicable payment or deposit. 26. NOTICES: All notices, demands, requests, or consents required to be given under this Lease shall be sent in writing by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight delivery by a reputable carrier, or by personal delivery addressed to the party to be notified at the address for such party specified in Section 1 of this Lease, or to such other place as the party to be notified may from time to time designate by at least fifteen (15) days prior notice to the notifying party. 27.

If Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors are negligent in connection with or during any such entry, or if any such entry unreasonably interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises, then subject to Section 41 below, Landlord shall be liable therefor. Tenant shall permit Landlord and his agents, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date (or at any time during the Lease if Tenant is in default hereunder after notice Page 21 <PAGE> and expiration of any applicable cure period), to place upon the Premises "For Lease" signs and exhibit the Premises to real estate brokers and prospective tenants subject to the conditions contained in this Section 27. 28. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: A. DESTRUCTION BY AN INSURED CASUALTY: In the event of a destruction of the Premises during the Lease Term by a casualty for which Landlord has received insurance proceeds sufficient to repair the damage or destruction, Landlord shall repair the same to the extent of such proceeds. Such destruction shall not annul or void this Lease; however, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Base Monthly Rent commencing on the date of damage or destruction and continuing while repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the repairs or damage interferes with Tenant's business in the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Within sixty (60) days after any damage or destruction of the Premises, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's estimate of the time required to repair the damage or destruction, and if Landlord estimates that the repairs cannot be made in 180 days from the date of receipt of all governmental approvals necessary under the laws and regulations of State, Federal, County or Municipal authorities, as reasonably determined by Landlord, or if the repairs actually take longer than said 180 day period, then Tenant may terminate this Lease within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's notice or the expiration of me 180 day period as applicable. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly obtain all governmental approvals and permits required for the repairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate the Lease in the event of a total destruction of the Premises or in the event of a partial destruction occurs in the last year of the Lease Term and will take more than sixty (60) days to repair; provided, however, that if the partial destruction occurs after Tenant shall have exercised its Option under Section 37 below or if Tenant exercises its Option under Section 37 within twenty days following the event of partial damage or destruction, then the last year of the Lease Term shall be deemed to be the last year of the Option Term.

If only one appraisal is submitted within the requisite time period, it shall be deemed as Fair Market Rental. If both appraisals are submitted within such time period and the two appraisals so submitted differ by less than ten percent (10%), the average of the two shall be deemed as Fair Market Rental. If the two appraisals differ by more than 10%, the appraisers shall immediately select a third appraiser who shall, within thirty (30) days after his selection, make and submit to Landlord and Tenant a determination of Fair Market Rental. This third appraisal will then be averaged with the closer of the two previous appraisals and the result shall be Fair Market Rental. 4.
