The building (the "Building") situated on the -------- Land, commonly known as 4600 Old Ironsides Drive, Santa Clara, California; and <PAGE> (c) Landlord's Improvements.

Term. ---- 4.1 Initial Lease Term. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") ------------------ shall be for a period of five (5) years and ninety (90) days commencing on the date Landlord delivers to Tenant possession of the Premises in accordance in Section 2 of Exhibit B (the "Commencement Date"). --------- --------- 4.2 Lease Termination. The Lease Term shall terminate sixty (60) ----------------- months and ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease or unless extended in accordance with Section 39. The expiration of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease is referred to herein as the "Lease Termination." 5. Rent. ---- 5.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as monthly rent for the --------- Premises ("Base Rent"), in advance, on the first day of each calendar month commencing on the ninety first (91st) day following the Commencement Date ("Rent Commencement Date") and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Base Rent, which initially shall be an amount equal to Sixty Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Dollars and Cents ($69,900.000). In the event the Commencement Date is not on the first day of a calendar month, the first installment of Base Rent shall be prorated by multiplying the Base Rent by the - 2 - <PAGE> quotient obtained by dividing thirty (30) into the number of remaining in such calendar month. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in lawful money of the United States without deduction, offset, prior notice, or demand at 635 Emerson Street, Palo Alto, California 94301 or at such other place(s) as Landlord from time to time shall designate. 5.2 Increase in Base Rent. Beginning on the thirty first (31st) month of the Lease Term, the Base Rent shall subject to upward adjustment based upon increases in the "Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1984 = 100), in San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan Area, All Items", published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "CPI" or "CPI Index"). If the present base of the CPI Index hereinafter changed, the new base shall be converted to the base now used. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics fails to publish the CPI Index throughout the Lease Term, the then most similar index published by the Bureau or by any other branch or department of the U.S. Government shall be used, and if none is so published, then another index using the most closely comparable statistics on the purchasing power of the consumer dollar and published by responsible financial authority shall be used. The increases shall be calculated as follows: (a) Adjustment Date Calculation. On the first day of the --------------------------- thirty-first month following the Commencement Date (the "Adjustment Date") a calculation shall be made to determine the increase, if any, to be made to the then Base Rent. Any increase so determined shall be added to the Base Rent for the balance of the Lease Term. The adjusted Base Rent shall be determined as follows: (i) the CPI ("Beginning Index") published immediately prior to two months before the Commencement Date shall be determined. The CPI ("Adjustment Index") published immediately prior to the two months before the Adjustment Date shall be determined. (ii) the change in the CPI shall be determined by subtracting the Beginning index from the Adjustment Index. The numerical difference shall be the "Index Change." If the Adjustment Index does not exceed the Beginning Index, no adjustment shall be made to the Base Rent on the Adjustment Date and the Base Rent shall not be changed; (iii) the percentage increase ("Percentage Change") in the CPI shall be determined by dividing the index Change by the Beginning Index; (iv) the increase in the Base Rent then shall be determined by multiplying the Base Rent for the month immediately preceding the Adjustment Date times the Percentage Change; - 3 - <PAGE> (v) the increase, as determined above, be added to the Base Rent payable immediately prior to Adjustment Date to determine the new Base Rent. By way of example: assume the Commencement Date is March 1, 1996 and that the published immediately prior to January 1996 is 300 and that Base Rent for March 1, 1996 is $1,000. Further, assume that Adjustment Date is September 1, 1998 and that the CPI immediately prior to July 1998 is 360. The Base Rent for the period commencing September 1, 1998 shall be determined as follows: (1) Adjustment Index 360 Beginning Index 300 --- Index Change 60 (2) Index change 60 = 60 divided by 300 = 20% -- Beginning Index 300 (3) Base Rent $1,000 Percentage Change x .20 -------- Increase $ 200 (4) Base Rent prior to Adjustment Date $1,000 Increase rent + 200 ------- New Base Rent $1,200 (b) Landlord Calculation. Landlord shall compute the applicable -------------------- increase, if any, in Base Rent to be paid on an following the Adjustment Date and shall provide to Tenant a copy o such calculation. Any delay by Landlord in computing or delivering, the information hereunder shall not relieve Tenant from it., obligation to pay Base Rent or any increase hereunder and Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any right to collect such rent by reason of any delay by Landlord hereunder. 5.3 Security Deposit. On or before June 1, 2000, Tenant shall deliver to ---------------- Landlord an amount equal to one month's rent (as then calculated) to be held by Landlord as a security deposit (the "Security Deposit"). The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord to secure the faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. If Tenant fails to pay the Rent promptly when due, the Security Deposit, at the option of Landlord may be applied to any Rent due and unpaid. If Tenant violates any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit may be applied to the extent of the amount of damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default. If Tenant fails to perform prior to Lease Termination all its obligations on surrender of the Premises, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, use the Security Deposit to remove Tenant's alterations, to restore the Premises or to repair or replace portions of the Premises to fulfill Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The fact that the Security Deposit may be used for such purposes shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder nor shall such fact in any - 4 - <PAGE> way diminish or be construed as waiving any of Landlord's remedies No interest shall accrue on the Security Deposit. 5.4 Absolute Lease. It is the intention of Landlord Tenant that the -------------- rent herein specified shall be net to Landlord Month during the Lease Term. All costs, expenses and obligations of every kind relating to the Premises (except as otherwise may be specifically provided in this Lease) shall be paid by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all such costs, expenses and obligations. 5.5 Additional Rent.

In the event of nonpayment by Tenant of any Additional Rent, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available for the nonpayment of Base Rent. The term "Rentals" as used in this Lease shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent. 5.6 Interest.
