2. PREMISES
2.1 PREMISES. Subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth
in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord those premises (the "PREMISES") shown on the building plan attached as
EXHIBIT A, which are located within the building shown on EXHIBIT A and
identified in Article 1 (the "BUILDING"). The approximate total Rentable Area of
the Premises and the Building are specified in Article 1. Together, the
Building, any other buildings located in the vicinity of the Building and
operated as a common project with the Building, and all Common Areas for the
joint operation of the Building and such other buildings, are referred to as the
"PROPERTY".
2.2 COMMON AREA. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and its employees,
agents, contractors and invitees (collectively, "TENANT'S AGENTS") a
non-exclusive license during the Term in common with other tenants of the
Property to use the lobbies, hallways, stairways, elevators, restrooms,
sidewalks, driveways, parking areas and other public amenities (the "COMMON
AREA"). Tenant's rights to the Common Area shall be subject to the Rules and
Regulations described in Section 23.1 and to Landlord's reserved rights
described in Article 16.
2.3 PARKING. At no additional cost to Tenant, Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant and Tenant's Agents a non-exclusive license in common with other tenants
of the Property to use parking areas located on the Property for parking and for
ingress to and egress from the Property. Tenant shall have the right to use the
number of parking spaces specified in Article 1. Tenant's license shall not be
assigned, sublet or otherwise transferred separately from the Premises. Tenant
agrees that neither Tenant nor Tenant's Agents shall use parking spaces in
excess of the number of spaces allocated to Tenant or in areas not designated
for Tenant's use. Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's sole discretion,
to specifically designate the location of Tenant's parking spaces within the
parking areas of the Common Area. Tenant's parking spaces (if any) may be
relocated by Landlord within the Common Area from time to time upon written
notice. Tenant shall not, at any time, park, or permit the parking of the trucks
or vehicles of Tenant or Tenant's Agents in any portion of the Common Area not
designated by Landlord for such use by Tenant. Tenant shall not park nor permit
to be parked any inoperative vehicles or store any materials or equipment on any
portion of the parking area or other areas of the Common Area. Tenant agrees to
assume responsibility for compliance by Tenant's Agents with the parking
provisions contained in this Section. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord at
Tenant's expense to attach violation stickers or notices to such vehicles not
parked in compliance with this Section and to tow away any such vehicles. In
addition, a specific section of the parking area may be set aside by Landlord
for visitor parking for tenants of the Property.
3. TERM
3.1 TERM. The Premises are leased for a term (the "TERM") commencing on
the Commencement Date and expiring on the Expiration Date. The Term shall end on
the Expiration Date, or such earlier date on which this Lease terminates
pursuant to its terms. The date upon which this Lease actually terminates,
whether by expiration of the Term or in the event of default or surrender of the
Premises is sometimes referred to in this Lease as the "TERMINATION DATE".
3
<PAGE>
3.2 FAILURE TO DELIVER POSSESSION. In the event Landlord cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall have no liability to
Tenant, the validity of this Lease and Tenant's obligations hereunder shall not
be affected; provided, however, that if Landlord does not deliver possession
within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right
to terminate this Lease by delivery to Landlord of a termination notice (the
"TERMINATION NOTICE"). In the event Tenant elects to terminate this Lease,
Tenant must deliver the Termination Notice to Landlord prior to the date the
Premises are delivered to Tenant. Upon such termination, neither party shall
have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Lease; provided
that Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant all sums paid by Tenant pursuant
to this Lease.
4. RENT
4.1 BASE RENT. Commencing upon the Commencement Date, and thereafter
during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the monthly Base Rent specified in
Article 1 on or before the first day of each month, in advance, at the address
specified for Landlord in Article 1, or at such other place as Landlord
designates in writing, without any prior notice or demand and without any
deductions or setoff whatsoever (except as provided in this Lease). If the
Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
or the Termination Date occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar
month, then the Base Rent for such fractional month will be prorated on the
basis of the actual number of days in such month. The Rentable Area of the
Premises and the Building shall be conclusively presumed to be as stated in
Article 1, and shall not be subject to adjustment by either Landlord or Tenant
during the Term.
4.2 PREPAYMENT OF BASE RENT; RENT ADJUSTMENTS. In addition to the
payment of Base Rent described in Section 4.1, Tenant shall prepay a portion of
the Base Rent (the "PREPAYMENT") for the period from the Commencement Date
through December 31, 2002 (the "PREPAYMENT PERIOD"). Tenant shall deliver the
prepayment in two installments of readily available funds, the first due no
later than the Commencement Date in the amount of Five Hundred Ninety-Two
Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Eight Dollars ($592,538), and the second due no
later than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date in the amount of Five
Hundred Ninety-Six Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Eight Dollars ($596,488). The
Base Rent due during the entire Prepayment Period shall be $3.19 per square foot
of Rentable Area of the Premises. The Base Rent shall be adjusted to $7.43 per
square foot of Rentable Area commencing January 1, 2003 and shall thereafter
increase by three percent (3%) on January 1 of each calendar year throughout the
remainder of the Term.
4.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. All sums due from Tenant to Landlord or to any
third party under the terms of this Lease shall be additional rent ("ADDITIONAL
RENT"), including without limitation the charges for Base Rent and Operating
Expenses (described in Article 5) and all sums incurred by Landlord due to
Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. All Additional
Rent which is payable to Landlord shall be paid at the time and place that Base
Rent is paid. Landlord will have the same remedies for a default in the payment
of any Additional Rent as for a default in the payment of Base Rent. Together,
Base Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes referred to in this Lease as "RENT".
4.4 LATE PAYMENT. Any unpaid Rent shall bear interest from the date due
until paid at the maximum interest rate allowed by law (the "INTEREST RATE"). In
addition, Tenant
4
<PAGE>
recognizes that late payment of any Rent will result in administrative expense
to Landlord, the extent of which expense is difficult and economically
impracticable to determine. Therefore, Tenant agrees that if Tenant fails to pay
any Rent within five (5) days after its due date, an additional one-time late
charge of five percent (5%) of the sums so overdue shall become immediately due
and payable. Tenant agrees that the late payment charge is a reasonable estimate
of the additional administrative costs and detriment that will be incurred by
Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant. In the event of nonpayment of
interest or late charges on overdue Rent, Landlord shall have, in addition to
all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies provided in this Lease
and by law for nonpayment of rent.
4.5 SECURITY DEPOSIT. On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit described in Article 1 in the form of
cash or a letter of credit in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and
payable upon any default of Tenant under this Lease (the "LETTER OF CREDIT").
The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful
performance of this Lease by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of
this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of Rent, Landlord may,
without waiving any of Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease,
apply the Security Deposit in whole or in part to remedy any failure by Tenant
to pay any sums due under this Lease, to repair or maintain the Premises, to
perform any other terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, or to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damages which Landlord may suffer due to
Tenant's default. Should Landlord so apply any portion of the Security Deposit,
Tenant shall replenish the Security Deposit to the original amount within ten
(10) days after written demand by Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to
keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not
be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant elects to use a
letter of credit as the Security Deposit, the Letter of Credit shall be issued
by a bank (the "L-C BANK") approved by Landlord and shall be in a form that is
reasonably acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion. The L-C
Bank shall be a bank that accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local
Santa Clara County office that will negotiate the Letter of Credit or if no
local office then the Letter of Credit shall provide for draws by Landlord upon
delivery of the written draw request by courier or by fax (to be confirmed by
telephone and with original to follow within three (3) business days) and
payment to be made by wire transfer to Landlord's account as directed by
Landlord upon receipt of the original or fax request. The deposits of the L-C
Bank shall be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Tenant shall
pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of
Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be available by draft at sight, subject only
to receipt by the bank of a notarized statement from Landlord requesting such
draw. The Letter of Credit shall by its terms expire not less than one year from
the date issued, and shall provide for automatic one (1) year extensions unless
Landlord is notified in writing not less than ninety (90) days prior to such
expiration from the L-C Bank that the Letter of Credit will not be extended. In
any event, unless Tenant deposits with Landlord a comparable cash security
deposit or a replacement letter of credit, said Letter of Credit shall be
renewed by Tenant for successive periods of not less than one year throughout
the Term. The bank's written renewal of the Letter of Credit shall in each case
be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of the then outstanding Letter of Credit. Tenant's failure to so deliver,
renew (including specifically but not limited to the delivery to Landlord of
such renewal not less than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Letter of
Credit) and maintain such Letter of Credit, shall be a breach of this Lease.

<PAGE>
5. OPERATING EXPENSES
5.1 NET LEASE. This Lease is intended to be a net lease, and the Base
Rent and all Additional Rent are to be paid by Tenant and other tenants of the
Property absolutely net of all costs and expenses relating to Landlord's
ownership and operation of the Property. The provisions of this Article 5 for
the payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses are intended to pass on to
Tenant its share of all such costs and expenses. 5.2 OPERATING EXPENSES. For
purposes of this Article 5, the following terms shall have the meanings
described below:
(a) "TENANT'S SHARE" means the percentage figure specified in
Article 1.
(b) "OPERATING EXPENSES" means the total costs and expenses paid
or incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, management, operation,
maintenance and repair of the Building and the Common Area, including, without
limitation, all costs of:
(i) taxes, assessments and charges levied upon or with respect
to the Property or any personal property of Landlord used in the operation of
the Property, or on Landlord's interest in the Property or its personal property
("REAL ESTATE TAXES"). Real Estate Taxes shall include, without limitation, all
general real property taxes and general and special assessments, charges, fees,
or assessments for transit, housing, police, fire, or other governmental
services or purported benefits to the Property or the occupants thereof, service
payments in lieu of taxes that are now or hereafter levied or assessed against
Landlord by the United States of America, the State of California or any
political subdivision thereof, or any other political or public entity, and
shall also include any other tax, assessment or fee, however described, that may
be levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in
part, any other Real Estate Taxes, whether or not now customary or in the
contemplation of the parties as of the Commencement Date. Real Estate Taxes
shall also include reasonable legal fees, costs, and disbursements incurred in
connection with proceedings to contest, determine, or reduce Real Estate Taxes;
provided that Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant its Share of any refund
which Landlord receives as a result of such proceedings. Real Estate Taxes shall
not include franchise, transfer, succession, gift, inheritance, excess profits,
gross receipts or capital stock taxes or income taxes measured by the net income
of Landlord unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes
is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, or as an addition
to, in whole or in part, any other tax that would otherwise constitute a Real
Estate Tax, nor shall they include any penalties assessed against Landlord for
late payment of Real Estate Taxes;
(ii) repair, maintenance, replacement and supply of HVAC,
electricity, steam, water, mechanical, telephone and telecommunications systems,
escalator and elevator systems, sanitary and storm drainage systems and all
other utilities and mechanical systems which are commonly used by all Building
tenants (collectively, the "BUILDING SYSTEMS");
(iii) landscaping and gardening of the Common Area;

(iv) repaving, repairing, maintaining and restriping of Common

(v) repairs and maintenance to the Property, including
janitorial services, and all labor and material costs related thereto;
(vi) security and fire protection to the Building as a whole;
(vii) trash removal;
(viii) all commercially reasonable insurance carried by
Landlord on the Building, the Common Area and the Property, or in connection
with the use or occupancy thereof, including fire and extended coverage,
vandalism and malicious mischief, public liability and property damage, worker's
compensation insurance, rental income insurance and any other insurance commonly
carried by prudent owners of comparable buildings in the Palo Alto area;
(ix) wages, salaries, payroll taxes and other labor costs and
employee benefits for all persons engaged in the operation, management,
maintenance and security of the Property;
(x) management fees at commercially reasonable rates, given the
level of services being provided;
(xi) fees, charges and other costs of all independent
contractors engaged by Landlord to provide services to the Property;
(xii) license, permit and inspection fees for the Property;
(xiii) charges on or surcharges imposed by any governmental
agencies on or with respect to transit or automobile usage or parking
facilities;
(xiv) the allocated cost of supplies, tools, machines and
equipment used in operation and maintenance of the Common Area;
(xv) any utility costs that are not separately metered to
tenants of the Building, including a reasonable allocation of any utility costs
that are shared by the Property and the adjacent property owned by Landlord at
3145 Porter Drive.
(xvi) any capital improvements to the Building and Common Area;
provided that the cost of any such capital improvements shall be amortized over
the useful life of the improvement in question, together with interest on the
unamortized balance at the interest rate publicly announced from time to time by
the largest (as measured by deposits) state chartered bank operating in
California, as its prime rate or its reference rate or other similar benchmark,
plus two percent (2%);
(xvii) the cost of contesting the validity or applicability of
any governmental enactments which may materially affect Operating Expenses;
7
<PAGE>
(xviii) audit and bookkeeping fees, legal fees and expenses,
financing expenses; and
(xix) any other expenses of any kind whatsoever reasonably
incurred in connection with the management, operation, maintenance, repair and
replacement of the Building and the Common Area which is not specifically
excluded under this Section.
Notwithstanding anything in the definition of Operating Expenses to the
contrary, Operating Expenses shall not include the following:
(A) Costs actually reimbursed to Landlord by insurance
proceeds for the repair of damage to the Building;
(B) Marketing costs, including without limitation,
leasing commissions, attorneys' fees, tenant improvement costs, space planning
costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with lease, sublease
and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with Tenant or present or
prospective tenants of the Building;
(C) Overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or
to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services in or to the
Building to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such goods and/or services
rendered by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis;
(D) Interest, principal, points and fees on debts or
amortization on any mortgage or mortgages or any other debt instrument
encumbering the Building or the Property;
(E) Costs paid directly by any tenant of the Building
for services provided directly or exclusively to that tenant; and
(F) Landlord's general corporate overhead and general
administrative expenses;
5.3 PAYMENT OF OPERATING EXPENSES. Commencing on the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent one twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's
Share of Operating Expenses for each calendar year or portion thereof during the
Term, in advance, on or before the first day of each month in an amount
estimated by Landlord as stated in a written notice to Tenant. Landlord may by
written notice to Tenant reasonably revise such estimates from time to time and
Tenant shall thereafter make payments on the basis of such revised estimates.
With reasonable promptness after the expiration of each calendar year, Landlord
will furnish Tenant with a statement ("LANDLORD'S EXPENSE STATEMENT") setting
forth in reasonable detail the actual Operating Expenses for such year and
Tenant's Share. If Tenant's Share of the actual Operating Expenses for such year
exceeds the estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant for such year, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord (whether or not this Lease has terminated) the difference
between the amount of estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant and Tenant's
Share of the actual Operating Expenses within fifteen (15) days after the
receipt of Landlord's Expense Statement. If the total amount paid by Tenant for
any year exceeds Tenant's Share of the actual Operating Expenses for that year,
the excess shall be credited against the next installments of Base Rent due from
Tenant to Landlord, or, if after the Termination Date, the excess shall first be
credited against any unpaid Base Rent or Additional Rent due and remaining
8
<PAGE>
any excess shall be refunded to Tenant concurrently with the furnishing of
Landlord's Expense Statement.
5.4 PRORATION. If either the Commencement Date or the Termination Date
occurs on a date other than the first or last day, respectively, of a calendar
year, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for the year in which the
Commencement Date or Termination Date occurs shall be prorated based on a
365-day year.
5.5 NORMALIZATION. For the purpose of determining Operating Expenses
for any partial year, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to accrue uniformly
during the entire calendar year. If any part of the Building is not fully
occupied and used during a calendar year, Operating Expenses shall be adjusted
to add amounts and items of Operating Expenses which would normally have been
incurred if the Building had been fully occupied during such calendar year and
Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses (both for the purposes of the initial
estimate and year-end reconciliation) shall be based on an assumed full
occupancy of the Building.
5.6 UTILITY COSTS. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall
make all arrangements for all utilities and services which are exclusively
furnished to or used at the Premises, including, without limitation, all water,
gas, telephone and other electronic communications service, sewer service, waste
pick-up and any other utilities, materials or services.
5.7 TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY AND BUSINESS. At least ten (10) days
prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes levied or assessed by any
local, state or federal authority upon the conduct of Tenant's business in the
Premises or upon Tenant's Property (as defined in Section 9.4) and shall deliver
satisfactory evidence of such payment to Landlord. If the assessed value of the
Property is increased by the inclusion of a value placed upon Tenant's Property,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon written demand, the taxes so levied against
Landlord, or the portion of Landlord's taxes resulting from said increase in
assessment, as determined from time to time by Landlord.
6. USE OF PREMISES AND CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
6.1 PERMITTED USE. Tenant may use and occupy the Premises during the
Term solely for the uses specified and permitted in Article 1 and for no other
purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent to be
granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant's use of the Premises
shall in all respects comply with all Applicable Laws (as defined in Section
11.1).
6.2 PROHIBITED USES. Tenant shall not use the Premises or allow the
Premises to be used for any illegal or immoral purpose, or so as to create
waste, constitute a private or public nuisance, or disturb other occupants of
the Property. Tenant shall not place any loads upon the floors, walls, or
ceiling which endanger the structure, or place any harmful fluids or other
materials in the drainage system of the Building, or overload existing
electrical or other mechanical systems. No waste materials or refuse shall be
dumped upon or permitted to remain upon any part of the Premises or outside of
the Premises except in trash containers placed inside exterior enclosures
designated by Landlord for that purpose or inside of the Premises where approved
by Landlord. No materials, supplies, equipment, finished products or
semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any nature shall be stored
upon or permitted to remain
9
<PAGE>
outside the Premises or on any portion of the Common Area unless otherwise
approved by Landlord in its sole discretion. No loudspeaker or other device,
system or apparatus which can be heard outside the Premises, other than burglar
and fire alarms, shall be used in or at the Premises without the prior written
consent of Landlord. No explosives or firearms shall be brought into the

decree or other compromise with respect to any claims relating to Tenant's
Hazardous Materials, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or denied.

Transferees under Article 14, and affiliates who acquire rights to the Premises
under Section 14.6), and all penalties and other actual expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees) associated with such remediation
costs, to the extent resulting from or arising out of the release, treatment,
storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from the
Property prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, including, without
limitation, groundwater contamination migrating onto or under the Property from
other properties. Landlord's indemnification obligations hereunder shall extend

17
<PAGE>

the Building or the Property as a consequence of any Tenant's Hazardous
Materials, including any so called state, federal or local "super fund" lien
related to the remediation of any Tenant's Hazardous Materials in, on or about
the Building or the Property.
12.8 INVESTIGATION. In the event Hazardous Materials are discovered in
or about the Building or the Property, and Landlord reasonably believes that
such Hazardous Materials are Tenant's Hazardous Materials, then Landlord shall
have the right to appoint a consultant to conduct an investigation to determine
the nature and extent of such Hazardous Materials, whether such Hazardous
Materials are Tenant's Hazardous Materials, and the corrective measures, if any,
required by Environmental Law to remove such Hazardous Materials. If such
Hazardous Materials are determined to be Tenant's Hazardous Materials, Tenant,
at its expense, shall comply with all investigation, remediation or other
actions required by any applicable governmental authority and reasonably
approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to promptly commence and diligently
prosecute the investigation, remediation or other required action, then upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall
undertake such investigation, remediation or other required action for Tenant's
account, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for all
costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

known to Tenant concerning any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any release or discharge of Hazardous Materials on, in under or
about the Property which was caused or permitted by Tenant or anyone within
Tenant's reasonable control. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, as the owner of
the Property, shall have the sole right at its election and at Tenant's expense,
to negotiate, defend, approve and appeal any action taken or order issued with
regard to Tenant's Hazardous Materials by any applicable governmental authority;
provided, however, that Landlord agrees to cooperate and consult with Tenant in
the course of any dealings with such governmental authorities.
12.10 SURRENDER. Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, upon
the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, free of Tenant's Hazardous
Materials. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Premises, Tenant shall indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless from all losses, costs, claims, damages and
liabilities resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises as
required by this Section 12.10, including, without limitation, (a) any claims or
damages arising in connection with the condition of the Premises, and (b)

in the fair market and/or rental value of the Building or any portion thereof,

termination of this Lease.

upon notice from Landlord, shall at its sole cost and expense, resist or defend
such claim, action or proceeding by counsel approved by Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may retain its own counsel to defend or
assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding involving potential
liability of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more, and Tenant shall pay the

deleting any liquor liability exclusions, and (v) providing for coverage of
owned and non-owned automobile liability, if applicable. Such insurance shall
name Landlord and any other party reasonably designated by Landlord as an
additional insured, shall specifically include the liability assumed hereunder
by Tenant, shall provide that it is primary insurance, shall provide for
severability of interests, shall further provide that an act or omission of one
of the named insureds which would void or otherwise reduce coverage shall not
reduce or void the coverage as to any insured, shall afford coverage for claims
based on acts, omissions, injury or damage which occurred or arose (or the onset
of which occurred or arose in whole or in part during the policy period);
(b) commercial property insurance, including sprinkler leakages,
vandalism and malicious mischief and plate glass damage covering all the items
specified as Tenant's Property and all other property of every description
including stock-in-trade, furniture, fittings, installations, alterations,
additions, partitions and fixtures or anything in the nature of a leasehold
improvement made or installed by or on behalf of the Tenant in an amount of not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost thereof as
shall from time to time be determined by Tenant in form reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord; and
19
<PAGE>
(c) Worker's Compensation Insurance in the amounts and coverages
required under worker's compensation, disability and similar employee benefit
laws applicable to Tenant and/or the Premises from time to time, and Employer's
Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than one million dollars
($1,000,000) such higher amounts as may be required by law.
13.3 POLICIES. All policies of insurance provided for herein shall be
issued by insurance companies with general policyholders' rating of not less
than A, as rated in the most current available "Best's Insurance Reports," and
not prohibited from doing business in the State of California, and shall, with
the exception of Workers Compensation Insurance, include as additional insureds
Landlord, and such other persons or entities as Landlord reasonably specifies
from time to time. Such policies shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and
protection of Landlord, Tenant and others reasonably specified by Landlord.
Executed copies of Tenant's policies of insurance or certificates thereof shall
be delivered to Landlord prior to the delivery of possession of the Premises to
Tenant and thereafter within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
term of each such policy. All commercial general liability and property damage
policies shall contain a provision that Landlord and any other additional
insured, although named as additional insureds, shall nevertheless be entitled
to recover under said policies for a covered loss occasioned by it, its
servants, agents and employees, by reason of Tenant's negligence. As often as
any policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall be
procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent. All such
policies of insurance shall provide that the company writing said policy will
give to Landlord fifteen (15) days notice in writing in advance of any
cancellation or lapse or of the effective date of any reduction in the amounts
of insurance. All commercial general liability, property damage and other
casualty policies shall be written on an occurrence basis. Landlord's coverage
shall not be contributory. No policy shall have a deductible in excess of $5,000
for any one occurrence.
13.4 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. Should Tenant fail to take out and keep in
force each insurance policy required under this Article 13, or should such
insurance not be approved by Landlord and should the Tenant not rectify the
situation within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord to
Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, without assuming any obligation in
connection therewith, to purchase such insurance at the sole cost of Tenant, and
all costs incurred by Landlord shall be immediately payable to Landlord by
Tenant as Additional Rent and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies
of Landlord under this Lease.
13.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any right of recovery
against the other party and against any other party maintaining a policy of
insurance or required to maintain a policy of insurance under this Lease with
respect to the Property or any portion thereof or the contents of the Premises
or the Building, for any loss or damage sustained by such other party with
respect to the Premises, the Building or the Property, or any portion thereof,
or the contents of the same or any operation therein, whether or not such loss
is caused by the fault or negligence of such other party. Either party shall
notify the other party if the policy of insurance carried by it does not permit
the foregoing waiver.
13.6 NO LIABILITY. No approval by Landlord of any insurer, or the terms
or conditions of any policy, or any coverage or amount of insurance, or any
deductible amount shall be construed as a representation by Landlord of the
solvency of the insurer or the sufficiency of any policy or any coverage or
amount of insurance or deductible and Tenant assumes full risk and
responsibility for any inadequacy of insurance coverage or any failure of
insurers.
20
<PAGE>
13.7 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. During the Term, Landlord shall keep the
Building (excluding Tenant's improvements, alterations, trade fixtures,
equipment, furniture and other personal property) insured through a funded
program of self-insurance or through reputable insurance underwriters against
perils covered by a standard "all risk" insurance policy or policies, with
deductible limits that do not materially exceed those carried by prudent
operators of comparable buildings in the Palo Alto area, and in an amount equal
to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value of the
Building. Further, Landlord shall carry commercial general liability insurance
or self-insurance with amounts of coverage that Landlord deems appropriate in
its good faith business judgment.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 CONSENT REQUIRED. Except as provided in Section 14.6 below, Tenant
shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, sell,
assign, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer or hypothecate all or any part of
its interest in or rights with respect to the Premises or its leasehold estate
(collectively, "ASSIGNMENT"), or permit all or any portion of the Premises to be
occupied by anyone other than itself or sublet all or any portion of the
Premises (collectively, "SUBLEASE") without Landlord's prior written consent,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
14.2 NOTICE. If Tenant desires to enter into a Sublease of the Premises
or Assignment of this Lease, it shall give written notice (the "TRANSFER
NOTICE") to Landlord of its intention to do so, which notice shall contain (a)
the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or occupant (the
"TRANSFEREE"), (b) the nature of the proposed Transferee's business to be
carried on in the Premises, (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed
Assignment or Sublease, and (d) such financial information as Landlord may
reasonably request concerning the proposed Transferee. Without limitation of any
other provision hereof, it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold
its consent if (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (as
defined in Section 15.1), (ii) the use of the Premises would not comply with the
provisions of this Lease, (iii) the base rent to be paid by the Transferee is
not at substantially the prevailing market rent then being charged by landlords
of comparable buildings in the Palo Alto Area (taking into consideration all of
the terms of the transaction and the creditworthiness of the Transferee), or
(iv) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the proposed Transferee does not have
the financial capability to perform its obligations under this Lease with
respect to the Premises which are the subject of the Assignment or Sublease.
14.3 TERMS OF APPROVAL. Landlord shall respond to Tenant's request for
approval within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Transfer Notice.
If Landlord approves the proposed Assignment or Sublease, Tenant may, not later
than thirty (30) days thereafter, enter into the Assignment or Sublease with the
proposed Transferee upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer
Notice, and fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Rent received by Tenant shall be
paid to Landlord as and when received by Tenant. "EXCESS RENT" means the gross
revenue received from the Transferee during the Sublease term or with respect to
the Assignment, less (a) the gross revenue paid to Landlord by Tenant during the
period of the Sublease term or during the Assignment; (b) any reasonably
documented tenant improvement allowance or other economic concession (free rent,
planning allowance, moving expenses, etc.), paid by Tenant to the Transferee or
spent on the Premises by Tenant in connection with the Sublease or Assignment;
(c) customary and reasonable external brokers' commissions to the extent paid
and documented; (d) reasonable attorneys' fees; and (e) reasonable costs of
21
<PAGE>
advertising the space for Sublease or Assignment (collectively, "TRANSFER
COSTS"). Tenant shall not have to pay to Landlord any Excess Rent until Tenant
has recovered its Transfer Costs.
14.4 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Except as provided in Section 14.6, if
Tenant desires to assign Tenant's interest in the Premises or to sublease
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises for more than three (3) years
or for the balance of the Term (collectively, a "TRANSFER"), the Transfer Notice
shall also include a written offer (the "OFFER") that describes all of the
substantial business terms that Tenant has offered to a Transferee which Tenant
would execute if Landlord does not accept Tenant's offer, and shall offer to
Transfer Tenant's interest in the Premises to Landlord on such terms and
conditions. Landlord shall have fifteen (15) business days from Landlord's
receipt of the Offer to accept the Offer by written notice to Tenant, or to
respond as provided in Section 14.3. If Landlord does not give Tenant written
notice accepting the Offer within said fifteen (15) business day period, Tenant
may at any time within the six (6) month period after the expiration of the
fifteen (15) business day period, subject to all of the conditions, restrictions
and terms of this Article 14, Transfer its interest to a Transferee without
reoffering the interest to Landlord, provided that the terms and conditions of
such Transfer shall not be more favorable to the Transferee than those set forth
in the Offer. If Tenant proposes to Transfer its interest in the Premises under
this Lease at any time after the expiration of the aforesaid six (6) month
period to the Transferee or any other third party, or at any time within the
aforesaid six (6) month period on terms more favorable to the Transferee than
those contained in the Offer, Tenant shall again deliver to Landlord an Offer in
accordance with this Section and offering the interest to Landlord on such more
favorable terms. Landlord shall have another period of fifteen (15) business
days after receipt of such Offer to accept such Offer. If Landlord accepts the
Offer, Landlord and Tenant shall consummate the Transfer within fifteen (15)
days after Landlord's written notice of acceptance. The Transfer shall be
consummated by Tenant's delivery to Landlord of a good and sufficient assignment
of lease or sublease.
14.5 NO RELEASE. No Sublease or Assignment by Tenant nor any consent by
Landlord thereto shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by
Tenant under this Lease, unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section
14.4. Any Sublease or Assignment that is not in compliance with this Article
shall be null and void and, at the option of Landlord, shall constitute an Event
of Default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to pursue
any right or remedy available to Landlord under the terms of this Lease or under
the laws of the State of California. The acceptance of any Rent or other
payments by Landlord from a proposed Transferee shall not constitute consent to
such Sublease or Assignment by Landlord or a recognition of any Transferee, or a
waiver by Landlord of any failure of Tenant or other Transferor to comply with
this Article.
14.6 CORPORATE TRANSFERS. Except as provided in this Section, the term
"Assignment" shall include one or more sales or transfers by operation of law or
otherwise by which (a) an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) of (i) the
total capital stock of a corporate Tenant, (ii) the total partnership interests
of a general partnership Tenant, (iii) the total membership interests of a
limited liability company Tenant, or (iv) the total beneficial interests of a
trust Tenant, or (b) if the Tenant is a limited partnership, fifty percent (50%)
of the interest in the general partner of such limited partnership or, if there
is more than one general partner, fifty percent (50%) of the interests in all
such general partners in the aggregate, or (c) if the Tenant is a limited
liability company that is manager-managed, fifty percent (50%) of the interest
in the manager of such limited liability company or, if there is more than one
manager, fifty
22
<PAGE>
percent (50%) of the interest in all such managers in the aggregate, shall
become vested in one or more individuals, firms or corporations who or which are
not stockholders, partners, members, or beneficiaries thereof, either legally or
equitably, as of the Commencement Date or of Tenant's subsequent acquisition of
this Lease by assignment, it being understood that ownership of such capital
stock, partnership interests and beneficial interest shall be determined in
accordance with the principles enunciated in Section 544 of the IRS Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed an Assignment
or Sublease for the purposes of this Lease, and the provisions of Sections 14.1,
14.2 and 14.3 shall not apply to:
(a) The transfer of stock of Tenant, or of Celtrans LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("CELTRANS"), or of a limited liability
company whose members consist of Celtrans and Tenant ("NEW LLC") (or any
permitted Transferee, including Celtrans and New LLC), if such party is a
corporation whose capital stock is listed on the New York or American Stock
exchanges or the NASDAQ, or any public offering of capital stock on any such
exchange;
(b) Any financing which affects the ownership of Tenant, Celtrans
or New LLC (or any permitted Transferee, including Celtrans and New LLC) due to
its effect on capital stock;
(c) A sale of substantially all of the assets of Tenant, Celtrans
or New LLC (or any permitted Transferee, including Celtrans and New LLC) where
the surviving company has a net worth which is equal to or greater than that of
Tenant (or the Transferee, or Celtrans or New LLC) as of the Commencement Date;
(d) The Sublease or any license or other agreement granting use of
any portion of the Premises to any department or school of Stanford University;
(e) A Sublease or Assignment to Celtrans, it being the
understanding of the parties that either Tenant and/or Celtrans may occupy the
Premises, but only so long as the party exercising such rights is an occupant of
the Premises pursuant to this Lease or a written Sublease or Assignment. In
addition, Landlord agrees that Celtrans may, so long as it is a subtenant of
Tenant occupying space in the Premises, cure any default by Tenant within any
applicable cure period provided in this Lease, and Landlord agrees to provide
written notice to Celtrans of any default by Tenant;
(f) A Sublease or Assignment to New LLC, so long as Tenant either
increases the Security Deposit to the equivalent of six (6) months worth of Base
Rent or provides a guaranty of Tenant's obligations under this Lease in form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(g) A sublease of any portion of the Premises back to Tenant if
this Lease is assigned to New LLC and
(h) A transfer of the member interests in New LLC between Celtrans
and Tenant.
14.7 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any Transferee shall, from and after
the effective date of the Assignment or Sublease, assume all obligations of
Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Premises or the portion subleased to
such Transferee, and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with
Tenant for the payment of Rent and Additional Rent (to the extent of the space
which is transferred in the case of a Sublease), and for the performance of all
23
<PAGE>
of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's
part to be performed for the Term. No Assignment shall be binding on Landlord
unless Tenant delivers to Landlord a counterpart of the Assignment and an
instrument that contains a covenant of assumption satisfactory in substance and
form to Landlord, and consistent with the requirements of this Section.
15. DEFAULT
15.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following after the
expiration of any applicable grace period shall be an "EVENT OF DEFAULT" on the
part of Tenant:
(a) Failure to pay any part of the Base Rent or Additional Rent,
or any other sums of money that Tenant is required to pay under this Lease where
such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice of
default from Landlord to Tenant. Landlord's notice to Tenant pursuant to this
subsection shall be deemed to be the notice required under California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161.
(b) Failure to perform any other covenant, condition or
requirement of this Lease when such failure shall continue for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided
that if the nature of the default is such that more than thirty (30) days are
reasonably required for its cure, then an Event of Default shall not be deemed
to have occurred if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecute such cure to
completion. Landlord's notice to Tenant pursuant to this subsection shall be
deemed to be the notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1161.
(c) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
(d) Tenant shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, dissolution or liquidation under any law or statute of any
government or any subdivision thereof either now or hereafter in effect, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, consent to or acquiesce in the
appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of
the Premises.
(e) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order,
judgment or decree appointing a receiver of Tenant or of the whole or any
substantial part of the Premises and such order, judgment or decree shall not be
vacated, set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days after the date of entry of
such order, judgment, or decree, or a stay thereof shall be thereafter set
aside.
(f) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order,
judgment or decree approving a petition filed against Tenant under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation law or
statute of the federal or state government or any subdivision of either now or
hereafter in effect, and such order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated,
set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of such
order, judgment or decree, or a stay thereof shall be thereafter set aside.
15.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies:
24
<PAGE>
(a) The right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to
Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the
Premises in accordance with Article 20.
(b) The right to bring a summary action for possession of the
Premises.
(c) The rights and remedies described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.2, including without limitation the right to recover from Tenant
all Rent due through the date this Lease terminates (with interest at the
Interest Rate until paid), plus the present worth of the Rent payable hereunder
for the balance of the Term, plus any amount necessary to compensate Landlord
for the 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 which includes, without limitation, (i) the
unamortized portion of any brokerage or real estate agent's commissions paid in
connection with the execution of this Lease, (ii) any direct costs or expenses
incurred by Landlord in recovering possession of the Premises, maintaining or
preserving the Premises after such default, (iii) preparing the Premises for
reletting to a new tenant, (iv) any repairs or alterations to the Premises for
such reletting, (v) leasing commissions, architect's fees and any other costs
necessary or appropriate either to relet the Premises or, if reasonably
necessary in order to relet the Premises, to adapt them to another beneficial
use by Landlord and (vi) such amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing
as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Law to the extent that such
payment would not result in a duplicative recovery.
(d) The rights and remedies described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.4 which allow Landlord to continue this Lease in effect and to
enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the
right to recover Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder
as they become due. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the
Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord's initiative to protect
its interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's
right to possession.
(e) The right to collect rents from all subtenants and to provide
or arrange for the provision of all services and fulfill all obligations of
Tenant under any permitted subleases. Landlord is hereby authorized on behalf of
Tenant, but shall have absolutely no obligation, to provide such services and
fulfill such obligations and to incur all such expenses and costs as Landlord
deems reasonably necessary. Landlord is hereby authorized, but not obligated, to
relet the Premises or any part thereof on behalf of Tenant, to incur such
expenses as may be necessary to effect a relet and make said relet for such term
or terms, upon such conditions and at such rental as Landlord in its reasonable
discretion may deem proper. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for
all reasonable costs and expenses Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises
including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, expenses of remodeling the
Premises required by the reletting, and the cost of collecting rents and
fulfilling the obligations of Tenant to any subtenant. If Landlord relets the
Premises or any portion thereof, such reletting shall not relieve Tenant of any
obligation hereunder, except that Landlord shall apply the rent or other
proceeds actually collected by it as a result of such reletting against any
amounts due from Tenant hereunder to the extent that such rent or other proceeds
compensate Landlord for the nonperformance of any obligation of Tenant
hereunder. Such payments by Tenant shall be due at such times as are provided
elsewhere in this Lease, and Landlord need not wait until the termination of
this Lease, by expiration of the Term or
25
<PAGE>
otherwise, to recover them by legal action or in any other manner. Landlord
shall not by any reentry or other act be deemed to have accepted any surrender
by Tenant of the Premises or Tenant's interest therein, or be deemed to have
otherwise terminated this Lease, or to have relieved Tenant of any obligation
hereunder, unless Landlord shall have given Tenant express written notice of
Landlord's election to do so as set forth herein.
(f) The right to enjoin, and any other remedy or right now or
hereafter available to a Landlord against a defaulting tenant under the laws of
the State of California or the equitable powers of its courts, and not otherwise
specifically reserved herein.
15.3 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The various rights and remedies reserved to
Landlord, including those not specifically described herein, shall, to the
extent that the exercise of such right and/or remedy does not result in a
duplicative recovery, be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity and the exercise of the rights or remedies provided for in this
Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights and
remedies.
15.4 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE. If Tenant shall fail or neglect to do or
perform any covenant or condition required under this Lease and such failure
shall not be cured within any applicable grace period, Landlord may, on five (5)
days notice to Tenant, but shall not be required to, make any payment payable by
Tenant hereunder, discharge any lien, take out, pay for and maintain any
insurance required hereunder, or do or perform or cause to be done or performed
any such other act or thing (entering upon the Premises for such purposes, if
Landlord shall so elect), and Landlord shall not be or be held liable or in any
way responsible for any loss, disturbance, inconvenience, annoyance or damage
resulting to Tenant on account thereof. Tenant shall repay to Landlord upon
demand the entire out-of-pocket cost and expense incurred by Landlord in
connection with the cure, including, without limitation, compensation to the
agents, consultants and contractors of Landlord and reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses. Landlord may act upon shorter notice or no notice at all if
necessary in Landlord's reasonable judgment to meet an emergency situation or
governmental or municipal time limitation or to protect Landlord's interest in
the Premises. Landlord shall not be required to inquire into the correctness of
the amount of validity or any tax or lien that may be paid by Landlord and
Landlord shall be duly protected in paying the amount of any such tax or lien
claimed and in such event Landlord also shall have the full authority, in
Landlord's sole judgment and discretion and without prior notice to or approval
by Tenant, to settle or compromise any such lien or tax. Any act or thing done
by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be or be
construed as a waiver of any such failure by Tenant, or as a waiver of any term,
covenant, agreement or condition herein contained or of the performance thereof.
15.5 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord shall be in default under this Lease
if Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30)
days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first
mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall
have heretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord
has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of
Landlord's obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for
performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion. Tenant
26
<PAGE>
shall be entitled to actual (but not consequential) damages in the event of an
uncured default by Landlord, but the provisions of Article 17 shall apply to any
Landlord default.
16. LANDLORD'S RESERVED RIGHTS
16.1 CONTROL OF COMMON AREA. Landlord reserves the right, at any time
and from time to time, to make alterations, additions, repairs or improvements
to all or any part of the Building (including the Building Structure and
Building Systems), the Common Area and the Property. As long as there is no
material reduction in the amenities offered in the Common Area, Landlord may
make changes at any time and from time to time in the size, shape, location, use
and extent of the Common Area, and no such change shall entitle Tenant to any
abatement of rent or damages. Landlord shall at all times during the Term have
the sole and exclusive control of the Building Structure and the Common Area,
and may at any time and from time to time during the Term restrain any use or
occupancy of the Common Area except as authorized by the Rules and Regulations.
Landlord may temporarily close any portion of the Common Area for repairs or
alterations, to prevent a dedication or the accrual of prescriptive rights, or
for any other reason deemed sufficient by Landlord; provided, however, that
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to materially adversely affect
Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant's rights in and to the Common Area shall at
all times be subject to the rights of Landlord and Tenant shall keep the Common
Area free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or
resulting from Tenant's operations.
16.2 ACCESS. Landlord reserves (for itself and its agents, consultants,
contractors and employees) the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable
times and, except in cases of emergency, after giving Tenant at least
twenty-four (24) hours prior telephonic notice, to inspect the Premises, to
supply any service to be provided by Landlord hereunder, to show the Premises to
prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (during the last six (6) months of
the Term), to post notices of nonresponsibility, and to alter, improve or repair
the Premises and any portion of the Building, without abatement of Rent, and may
for that purpose erect, use and maintain necessary structures in and through the
Premises and the Building where reasonably required by the character of the work
to be performed. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned thereby which
results from Landlord's actions done in accordance with this Section. All locks
for all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults
and safes or special security areas (designated in advance in writing by Tenant)
shall at all times be keyed to the Building master system and Landlord shall at
all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of said doors. Landlord
shall have the right to use any and all means that Landlord may deem necessary
or proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to any
portion of the Premises, and any entry to the Premises or portions thereof
obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any
circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or
a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant
from the Premises or any portion thereof.
16.3 EASEMENTS. Landlord reserves the right to grant or relocate all
easements and rights of way which Landlord in its sole discretion may deem
necessary or appropriate.
16.4 USE OF ADDITIONAL AREAS. Landlord reserves the exclusive right to
use any air space above the Building and the Property, the roof and exterior
walls of the Building
27
<PAGE>
and the land beneath the Building; provided that such use shall not materially
impede Tenant's use of and access to the Premises.
16.5 SUBORDINATION. Landlord represents to Tenant that there are
currently no loans, mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases affecting the
Property. Without the necessity of any additional documentation, except as set
forth below, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to: (a)
all reciprocal easement agreements, and any ground leases or underlying leases
which may hereafter be executed affecting any or all of the Building, and (b)
the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may hereafter be executed in any
amount for which the Building, or any ground leases or underlying leases, or
Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items, is specified as security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or
cause to be subordinated to this Lease any of the items referred to in clause
(a) or (b) above, subject to compliance with the condition precedent set forth
below. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any
reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure is made for any reason, (i) no person or entity which as a result of
the foregoing succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, (a
"SUCCESSOR") shall be liable for any default by Landlord or any other matter
that occurred prior to the date the Successor succeeded to Landlord's interest
in this Lease, and (ii) Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn
to and become the tenant of the Successor. Tenant covenants and agrees, however,
to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form reasonably
requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or
subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases, underlying
leases, reciprocal easement agreements or similar documents or instruments, or
with respect to the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust and Tenant's
failure to execute and deliver any such document within ten (10) business days
after such demand by Landlord shall constitute an Event of Default without
further notice. Landlord shall obtain the written agreement of the mortgagee or
trustee named in any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance that so long
as an Event of Default by Tenant is not in existence, neither this Lease nor any
of Tenant's rights hereunder shall be terminated or modified, nor shall Tenant's
possession of the Premises be disturbed or interfered with, by any trustee's
sale or by an action or proceeding to foreclose said mortgage, deed of trust or
other encumbrance.
17. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
17.1 LIMITATION. Landlord shall not be responsible for or liable to
Tenant and Tenant hereby releases Landlord, waives all claims against Landlord
and assumes the risk for any injury, loss or damage to any person or property in
or about the Premises, the Building or the Property by or from any cause
whatsoever (other than Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct)
including, without limitation, (a) acts or omissions of persons occupying
adjoining premises, (b) theft or vandalism, (c) burst, stopped or leaking water,
gas, sewer or steam pipes, (d) loss of utility service, (e) accident, fire or
casualty, (f) nuisance, and (g) work done by Landlord in the Building or the
Common Area. There shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by
reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the
making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the
Building or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein; provided, however,
that in the event Landlord's repair, alterations or improvements are performed
in a negligent manner which results in Tenant being unable to operate its
business at the Premises for a period of more than five (5) days, then Tenant
shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent commencing on the sixth business day
Tenant is unable to operate and continuing until the Premises are again
available for operation of Tenant's
28
<PAGE>
business. Such Rent abatement shall be Tenant's only remedy in the event of a
negligent interference with Tenant's business and Tenant shall not be entitled
to damages or to termination of this Lease arising from Landlord's repairs,
alterations or improvements. No interference with Tenant's operations in the
Premises shall constitute a constructive or other eviction if Tenant. Tenant
hereby waives and releases any right it may have to make repairs at Landlord's
expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or under any
similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
17.2 SALE OF PROPERTY. It is agreed that Landlord may at any time sell,
assign or transfer its interest as landlord in and to this Lease, and may at any
time sell, assign or transfer its interest in and to the Property. In the event
of any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Property, the transferor shall be
automatically relieved of any and all of Landlord's obligations and liabilities
accruing from and after the date of such transfer; provided that the transferee
assumes all of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees to
attorn to Landlord's assignee, transferee, or purchaser from and after the date
of notice to Tenant of such assignment, transfer or sale, in the same manner and
with the same force and effect as though this Lease were made in the first
instance by and between Tenant and the assignee, transferee or purchaser.
17.3 NO PERSONAL LIABILITY. In the event of any default by Landlord
hereunder, Tenant shall look only to Landlord's interest in the Property and
rents therefrom and any available insurance proceeds for the satisfaction of
Tenant's remedies, and no other property or assets of Landlord or any trustee,
partner, member, officer or director thereof, disclosed or undisclosed, shall be
subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction
of Tenant's remedies under or with respect to this Lease.
18. DESTRUCTION
18.1 LANDLORD'S REPAIR OBLIGATION. If the Premises or the Building or
any portion thereof (whether or not the Premises are affected) are damaged by
fire or other casualty, Landlord shall repair the same (not including any Tenant
Alterations); provided that (a) such repairs can be made under the laws and
regulations of the federal, state and local governmental authorities having
jurisdiction within twelve (12) months after the date of such damage (or in the
case of damage occurring during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term,
provided that such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days after the date of
such damage), (b) such repairs are fully covered (except for any deductible) by
the proceeds of insurance maintained or required to be maintained by Landlord,
and (c) the damage does not affect more than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed
value of the Building.
18.2 NOTICE. Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days after
the date of damage whether or not the requirements for reconstruction and repair
described in Section 18.1 are met. If such requirements are not met, Landlord
shall have the option, exercisable within sixty (60) days after the date of such
damage either to: (a) notify Tenant of Landlord's intention to repair such
damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
(unless terminated by Tenant pursuant to Section 18.3 below), or (b) notify
Tenant of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease as of the date of the
damage. If such notice to terminate is given by Landlord, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such damage. If within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of a notice from Landlord electing to terminate this Lease because of
the unavailability of insurance proceeds, Tenant sends Landlord a notice
electing to reimburse
29
<PAGE>
Landlord for the cost of such repairs in excess of five percent (5%) of the
replacement cost of the Building, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord
shall complete such repairs.
18.3 TERMINATION BY TENANT. If Landlord elects to repair or is required
to repair the damage and any such repair is not commenced by Landlord within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction or
is not or cannot practicably be substantially completed by Landlord within
twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such damage or destruction (or in the
case of damage occurring in the last twelve (12) months of the Term, within
ninety (90) days), then in either such event Tenant may, at its option, upon
written notice to Landlord to be delivered after the expiration of the 120-day
commencement period (so long as repairs have not actually commenced), elect to
terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage or
destruction.
18.4 RENT ADJUSTMENT. In case of termination pursuant to Sections 18.2
or 18.3 above, the Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be reduced by a
proportionate amount based upon the extent to which such damage interfered with
the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay such
reduced Base Rent and Operating Expenses up to the date of termination. If
Landlord is required or elects to make repairs, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate
reduction of Base Rent and Operating Expenses from the date of such casualty and
during the period such repairs are being made by a proportionate amount based
upon the extent of interference with Tenant's operations in the Premises. The
full amount of Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall again become payable
immediately upon the completion of such work of repair, reconstruction or
restoration. Landlord shall restore the improvements which were in the Premises
as of the Commencement Date, but shall not be required to repair any casualty
damage to Tenant's Property or any Alterations.
18.5 TENANT OBLIGATIONS. If Landlord elects or is required to repair,
reconstruct or restore the Premises after any damage or destruction, Tenant
shall be responsible at its own expense for the repair and replacement of
Tenant's Property and any Alterations which Tenant elects to replace. Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of any statute or law that may be in effect at the
time of the occurrence of any such damage or destruction, under which a lease is
automatically terminated or a tenant is given the right to terminate a lease
upon such an occurrence.
18.6 NO CLAIM. Tenant shall have no interest in or claim to any portion
of the proceeds of any insurance or self-insurance maintained by Landlord. If
Landlord is entitled and elects not to rebuild the Premises, Landlord shall
relinquish to Tenant such claim as Landlord may have for any part of the
proceeds of any insurance maintained by Tenant under Section 13.2 of this Lease.
18.7 NO DAMAGES. If Landlord is required or elects to make any repairs,
reconstruction or restoration of any damage or destruction to the Premises under
any of the provisions of this Article 18, Tenant shall not be entitled to any
damages by reason of any inconvenience or loss sustained by Tenant as a result
thereof. Except as expressly provided in Section 18.4, there shall be no
reduction, change or abatement of any rental or other charge payable by Tenant
to Landlord hereunder, or in the method of computing, accounting for or paying
the same. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932(2) and Section
1933(4) of the California Civil Code, or any other statute or law that may be in
effect at the time of a
30
<PAGE>
casualty under which a lease is automatically terminated or a tenant is given
the right to terminate a lease due to a casualty.
19. EMINENT DOMAIN
19.1 TAKING. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken as a
result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or any transfer in lieu
thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of
taking or as of the date of final judgment, whichever is earlier, and, in the
case of a partial taking of the Premises, either Landlord or Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Premises by written
notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such date, provided, however,
that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be
that the portion of the Premises taken shall be of such extent and nature as
substantially to handicap, impede or impair Tenant's use of the balance of the
Premises. If any material part of the Common Area shall be taken as a result of
the exercise of the power of eminent domain or any transfer in lieu thereof,
whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the
date of taking. If any material part of the Common Area shall be taken as a
result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or any transfer in lieu
thereof, such that Tenant's access to or use of the Premises is materially
adversely affected, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of taking.
19.2 AWARD. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to
any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or any interest therein
whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection therewith, and Tenant shall
assign to Landlord any right to compensation or damages for the condemnation of
its leasehold interest; provided that Tenant may file a claim for (a) Tenant's
relocation expenses, and (b) the taking of Tenant's Property.
19.3 PARTIAL TAKING. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises
which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rent and
Operating Expenses shall be adjusted as follows:
(a) During the period between the date of the partial taking and
the completion of any necessary repairs, reconstruction or restoration, Tenant
shall be entitled to a reduction of Base Rent and Operating Expenses by a
proportionate amount based upon the extent of interference with Tenant's
operations in the Premises; and
(b) Upon completion of said repairs, reconstruction or
restoration, and thereafter throughout the remainder of the Term, the Base Rent
and Operating Expenses shall be recalculated based on the remaining total number
of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises.
19.4 TEMPORARY TAKING. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article, if a taking occurs with respect to all or any portion of the Premises
for a period of twelve (12) months or less, this Lease shall remain unaffected
thereby and Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent and to
perform all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, provided that
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the taking continues
beyond twelve (12) months. In the event of any such temporary taking, and if
this Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall be entitled to receive that portion
of any award which represents
31
<PAGE>
compensation for the use or occupancy of the Premises during the Term up to the
total Base Rent and Additional Rent owing by Tenant for the period of the
taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the balance of any award.
19.5 SALE IN LIEU OF CONDEMNATION. A voluntary sale by Landlord of all
or any part of the Building or the Common Area to any public or quasi-public
body, agency or person, corporate or otherwise, having the power of eminent
domain, either under threat of condemnation or while condemnation proceedings
are pending, shall be deemed to be a taking under the power of eminent domain
for the purposes of this Article.
19.6 WAIVER. Except as provided in this Article, Tenant hereby waives
and releases any right it may have under any Applicable Law to terminate this
Lease as a result of a taking, including without limitation Sections 1265.120
and 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar law,
statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
20. SURRENDER
20.1 SURRENDER. Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear and
damage by casualty excepted, free and clear of all letting and occupancies and
free of Hazardous Materials as required pursuant to Section 12.9. Subject to
Article 9, upon any termination of this Lease, all improvements, except for
Tenant's Property, shall automatically and without further act by Landlord or
Tenant, become the property of Landlord, free and clear of any claim or interest
therein by Tenant, and without payment therefore by Landlord.
20.2 HOLDING OVER. Any holding over after the expiration of the Term
with the consent of Landlord shall be construed to automatically extend the Term
on a month-to-month basis at a Base Rent equal to the greater of (a) one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the then-current Base Rent, and (b) prevailing rate at
which Landlord is then offering space in buildings reasonably determined by
Landlord to be comparable to the Building, in either case together with an
amount estimated by Landlord as Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses payable
under this Lease, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions of this
Lease to the extent applicable. Any holding over without Landlord's consent
shall entitle Landlord to exercise any or all of its remedies provided in
Article 15, notwithstanding that Landlord may elect to accept one or more
payments of Base Rent and Operating Expenses from Tenant.
20.3 QUITCLAIM. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days
after written demand from Landlord to Tenant, any quitclaim deed or other
document required by any reputable title company, licensed to operate in the
State of California, to remove the cloud or encumbrance created by this Lease
from the Property.
21. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tenant shall tender to Landlord within ten (10) business days after
receipt of a written request any information reasonably requested by Landlord
regarding the financial stability, credit worthiness or ability of Tenant to pay
the Rent due under this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to rely upon the

32
<PAGE>

are true and correct copies of the originals, (b) Tenant has not withheld any
information from Landlord that is material to Tenant's credit worthiness,
financial condition or ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (c) all
information supplied by Tenant to Landlord is true, correct and accurate, and
(d) no part of the information supplied by Tenant to Landlord contains any
misleading or fraudulent statements. A default under this Article shall be a
non-curable default by Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to pursue any right
or remedy available to Landlord under the terms of this Lease or available to
Landlord under the laws of the State of California.
22. TENANT CERTIFICATES
Tenant, at any time and from time to time within ten (10) business days
after receipt of written notice from Landlord, shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord or to any party reasonably designated by Landlord, a
certificate of Tenant stating, to the best of Tenant's knowledge: (a) that
Tenant has accepted the Premises, (b) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date
of this Lease, (c) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or, if there have been modifications, that same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the modifications), (d) whether or not there are then
existing any defenses against the enforcement of any of the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease (and, if so, specifying same), (e) whether or not there
are then existing any defaults by Landlord in the performance of its obligations
under this Lease (and, if so, specifying same), (f) the dates, if any, to which
the Base Rent and Operating Expenses have been paid, and (g) any other factual
information relating to the rights and obligations under this Lease that may
reasonably be required by any of such persons. Failure to deliver such
certificate shall constitute an Event of Default. At the request of Tenant,
Landlord shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant a certificate with
similar types of information and in the time period set forth above. Failure by
either Landlord or Tenant to execute, acknowledge and deliver such certificate
shall be conclusive evidence that this Lease is in full force and effect and has
not been modified except as may be represented by the requesting party.
23. RULES AND REGULATIONS
23.1 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply
with any rules and regulations, if any, from time to time put into effect by

Tenant shall have the right to place a sign on or adjacent to the entrance doors
to Tenant's Premises identifying Tenant. Landlord hereby reserves the exclusive
right to the exterior side walls, rear walls and roof of the Premises.
24. INABILITY TO PERFORM
If Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of
Landlord's obligations under this Lease, by reason of acts of God, accidents,
breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, other
33
<PAGE>
labor disputes, inability to obtain utilities or materials or by any other
reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control, then no such inability or delay by
Landlord shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in
part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Base Rent or
Additional Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease,
or impose any liability upon Landlord, or Landlord's Agents by reason of
inconvenience, annoyance, interruption, injury or loss to or interference with
Tenant's business or use and occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any
loss or damage occasioned thereby. If Tenant is unable to fulfill, or is delayed
in fulfilling, any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (other than the
payment of Rent), by reason of acts of God, accidents, breakage, repairs,
strikes, lockouts, other labor disputes, inability to obtain utilities or
materials or by any other reason beyond Tenant's reasonable control, then such
inability or delay by Tenant shall excuse the performance of Tenant for a period
equal to the duration of such prevention, delay or stoppage. Tenant hereby

the California Civil Code, or any similar law, statute or ordinance now or

person or by courier, or when delivery is attempted but refused. Celtrans shall
receive any notices of default delivered by Landlord by separate mailing to

perform its obligations under this Lease and no approval or consent of any
person is required in connection with the execution and performance hereof. The

breach or violation of the organizational instruments governing Tenant or any
agreement or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority to
