LEASE
THIS LEASE is made as of this 25th day of May, 1999, by and between Oyster Point
Tech Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (hereinafter called
"Landlord") and ViroLogic, Inc., a California corporation (hereinafter called
"Tenant").
PREMISES
1. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the
Premises, for the Term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms and
conditions set forth in this Lease. The Premises is comprised of the building
which is commonly known and designated as 345 Oyster Point Boulevard, South
San Francisco, CA (sometimes referred to herein as the "Building") and is
depicted on Exhibit A-3. The Premises comprises one hundred percent (100%) of
the rentable area of the Building. The Building is part of the Project. The
Building is crosshatched on Exhibit A-2. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and
expense, construct the Building shell, parking lot, exterior common areas,
and landscaping approximately in the manner depicted on Exhibit C hereto
("Initial Project Specifications"). The Initial Project Specifications shall
include, without limitation, the Building shell, roof, all exterior windows
and doors, fire sprinklers at the roof line, and utilities and services to
the Building exterior. Upon Landlord's delivery of Early Possession (as
provided in Section 3 hereof), Tenant shall perform Tenant's Work (as defined
in Exhibit B-1 hereto) for the Premises. Tenant's Work shall be performed in
the manner described in Exhibit B-1 hereto.
TERM
2. The Term of this Lease ("Term") shall commence on the term commencement date
("Term Commencement Date") and continue in full force and effect for the
number of months specified as the Length of Term in the Basic Lease
Information or until this Lease is terminated as otherwise provided herein.
If the Term Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of the
calendar month, the Term shall be the number of months of the Length of Term
in addition to the remainder of the calendar month following the Term
Commencement Date. The Term Commencement Date shall be the date of
Substantial Completion of Tenant's Work as provided in Exhibit B-1 hereto
(which is estimated to be March 1, 2000) but in no event later than May 1,
2000 (the "Outside Term Commencement Date"); provided, however, that the
Outside Term Commencement Date may be adjusted as provided in Section 3
below. Within ten (10) days after requested by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant
shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating and confirming the Term
Commencement Date and Tenant's acceptance of the Premises.
POSSESSION
3. Landlord shall permit Tenant, or Tenant's agents, to enter the Premises
("Early Possession") immediately after the concrete floor for the second deck
of the Building has been poured for the purpose of performing Tenant's Work
and installing Tenant's equipment, Fixtures, Trade Fixtures and furniture. If
Landlord is unable for any reason other than Tenant Delay or Force Majeure to
deliver to Tenant Early Possession of the Premises on or before November 29,
1999, the Outside Term Commencement Date shall be extended one (1) day for
each day elapsing after November 29, 1999 to, but not including, the date on
which Landlord delivers to Tenant Early Possession of the Premises; provided,
however, that the number of such elapsed days shall be reduced by one (1) day
for each day of Tenant Delay and one (1) day for each day of delay (not to
exceed, however, forty-five (45) days) caused by a Force Majeure. If Landlord
is unable by May 15, 2000 for any reason other than Tenant Delay or Force
Majeure (subject, in the case of Force Majeure to the forty-five (45) day
limit stated in the immediately preceding sentence) to deliver to Tenant
Early Possession, Tenant may by written notice to Landlord given not later
than May 25, 2000, terminate this Lease in which case this Lease shall
terminate upon Landlord's receipt of such notice and Landlord shall promptly
refund to Tenant the first month's Base Rent and Security Deposit and cancel
the Letter of Credit. For purposes of this Section 3 only "Tenant Delay"
shall mean (i) any default by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not
limited to any failure to pay when due any monetary sum due hereunder; (ii)
any failure by Tenant to deliver any required insurance, or other document or
instrument required hereunder; (iii) any failure by Tenant to respond within
the time required hereunder to any request by Landlord for information or
approval required hereunder; (iv) any construction delay caused by Tenant's
request for changes in the Initial Project specifications or other
modifications to the Building shell unless such changes were a result of an
error or omission in the Initial Project Specifications which was caused by
Landlord or its agents and is not related to Tenant's particular proposed use
of the Premises; or (v) any construction delay caused by interference with
the performance of Landlord's Work caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents.
Landlord shall deliver, and Tenant shall accept delivery and take immediate
possession of, the Premises on the Term Commencement Date. The terms
"Fixture" or "Trade Fixture" as used herein shall be defined as anything
attached in any manner to Landlord's property, except that equipment shall
not be deemed a Fixture merely because of the manner in which such equipment
is connected to the electrical supply of the Building. All portable,
unattached items are Tenant's property. Tenant and Landlord agree that Tenant
does not own any Trade Fixtures in the Premises except those items listed in
Exhibit B-3 or otherwise agreed to in a separate writing between Landlord and
Tenant. Landlord owns all remaining Trade Fixtures. In connection with
Tenant's Early Possession, from and after the date on which Tenant or its
agent first enters the Premises therefor, all of the terms and conditions of
this Lease (including, but not limited to, insurance and indemnity
provisions) shall be applicable to Tenant's occupancy save and except for the
requirement to pay Base Rent and Basic Operating Costs.
USE
4. A. GENERAL. Tenant shall use the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no
other use or purpose. Tenant shall control Tenant's employees, agents,
customers, visitors, invitees, licensees, contractors, assignees and
subtenants (collectively, "Tenant's Parties") in such a manner that Tenant
and Tenant's Parties cumulatively do not exceed the Parking Density at any
time. Tenant and Tenant's Parties shall have the nonexclusive right to use,
in common with other parties occupying the Building or the Project, the
parking areas and driveways of the Project subject to such rules and
regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe.
B. LIMITATIONS. Tenant shall not permit any odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances,
noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, nor take any action which
would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, obstruct or endanger any other
tenants of the Building or the Project or interfere with their use of their
respective premises. Storage outside the Premises of materials, vehicles or
any other items is prohibited. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to
be used for any improper or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause or
maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises or the Project.

1
<PAGE> 5
the commission of any waste in, on or about the Premises or the Project. Tenant
shall not allow any sale by auction upon the Premises or the Project, or place
any loads upon the floors, walls or ceilings which endanger the structure, or
place any harmful liquids in the drainage system of the Building or the
Project. No waste, materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to
remain outside the Premises except in trash containers placed inside exterior
enclosures designated for that purpose by Landlord. Landlord shall not be
responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of
the Building or the Project with any of the above-referenced rules or any other
terms or provisions of such tenant's or occupant's lease or other contract.
C. COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS. By entering the Premises, Tenant accepts the
Premises in the condition existing as of the date of such entry, subject to
Landlord's representations and warranties set forth in this Lease and subject
to all existing or future applicable municipal, state and federal and other
governmental statues, regulations, laws and ordinances, including zoning
ordinances and regulations governing and relating to the use, occupancy and
possession of the Premises and the use, storage, generation and disposal of
Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) in, or and under the Premises
(collectively "Regulations"). Except for matters which occurred prior to the
Term Commencement Date and were not caused directly or indirectly by Tenant or
by any of Tenant's Parties, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense, strictly
comply with all Regulations now in force or which may hereafter be in force
relating to the Premises and the use of the Premises and/or Tenant's and
Tenant's Parties' use, storage, generation of Hazardous Materials in, on and
under the Premises. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense obtain any and
all licenses or permits necessary for Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant
shall promptly comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters
or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant shall not do or
permit anything to be done in, on, or about the Premises or bring or keep
anything which will in any way increase the rate of any insurance upon the
Premises, the Building or the Project, or upon any contents therein or cause a
cancellation of said insurance or otherwise affect said insurance in any
manner. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from
and against any loss, cost, expense, damage, attorneys' fees or liability
arising out of the failure of Tenant to comply with any Regulation or comply
with the requirements as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be
responsible for compliance with any laws, codes, ordinances or other
governmental directives where such compliance is caused by Landlord's failure
to cause the Building Shell to be constructed in compliance with all then
applicable laws. Landlord warrants that on the Commencement Date the Building
Shell shall comply with all laws, codes, ordinances, and other governmental
requirements applicable to the Premises and/or the Project as of the date the
building permit was issued.
D. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant shall not cause, or allow any of Tenant's
Parties to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be generated, stored, used,
treated, removed, transported, handled and disposed of on or about the Premises,
the Building or the Project without Landlord's prior written approval, provided
that, Tenant shall be permitted to use the Disclosed Hazardous Materials in the
ordinary course of this business subject to the conditions and requirements of
this Lease. Landlord's conditional authorization of the Disclosed Hazardous
Materials shall be strictly limited to the types and quantities described in
Exhibit F, and shall not be construed as an authorization for Tenant to
generate, store, use, treat, remove, transport, handle or dispose of any
additional quantities of Disclosed Hazardous Materials or any other Hazardous
Materials in, on, about or under the Premises, Building or the Project. Tenant
acknowledges that any change in the types or quantities or Disclosed Hazardous
Materials described in Exhibit F, or any material change in the means and
methods of generating, storing, treating, removing, transporting, handling or
disposing of such Disclosed Hazardous Materials, shall require the prior written
approval of Landlord in each instance. Tenant represents and warrants to
Landlord that (a) prior to its use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, it
will have received or obtained issuance of, and will maintain in effect, all
permits, approvals, licenses, or other authorizations necessary for Tenant's
activities with respect to the Disclosed Hazardous Materials, and (b) Tenant has
not been cited, fined, or otherwise found to be in violation of any governmental
requirement or fire, safety and insurance requirements or regulations applicable
to any Disclosed Hazardous Materials or any other Hazardous Materials in any
other leased premises. At least once during each twelve (12) month of the Lease
Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord with an inventory list describing the
minimum and maximum quantities of each of the Disclosed Hazardous Materials
generated, stored, used, treated, removed, transported, handled and disposed of
on or about the Premises, the Building or the Project the succeeding twelve (12)
months, and a copy of its Hazardous Materials Management Plan ("HHMP") in the
form submitted by Tenant to the fire department. Tenant agrees to notify
Landlord immediately if Tenant receives notification or otherwise becomes aware
of: (a) any threatened or actual release, spill or discharge of any Disclosed
Hazardous Materials in, on, about or under the Premises, the Building or the
Project, or (b) any threatened or actual lien, action, or proceeding or notice
that any Disclosed Hazardous Materials or any other Hazardous Materials is not
being generated, stored, used, treated, removed, transported, placed,
manufactured, handled, or disposed of in strict compliance with any and all
governmental requirements and regulations or applicable fire, safety or
insurance requirements and regulations. If Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties is
partially or wholly responsible or potentially responsible for such condition,
situation, lien, action or notice, Tenant's notice to Landlord shall include a
statement as to the actions Tenant proposes to take in response to such
condition, situation, lien, action or notice. As used in this Lease, "Hazardous
Materials" shall include, but not be limited to, hazardous, toxic and
radioactive materials and those substances defined as "hazardous substances,"
"hazardous materials," "hazardous wastes," "toxic substances," or other similar
designations in any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or ordinance.
Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the Premises
and to conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in
compliance with the foregoing provisions, the costs of all such inspections,
tests and investigations to be borne by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend
(by counsel selected by Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and
against all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, demands, causes of action,
claims or judgments directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation,
storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties,
which indemnity shall include, without limitation, attorneys' and consultants'
fees, the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification,
and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action
is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease.
Neither the written consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage or
disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all
laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's
obligation of indemnification pursuant to this Paragraph 4.D. Tenant's
obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of
this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord
warrants that on the Commencement Date to the best of Landlord's knowledge the
2
<PAGE> 6
Premises and the Project, and the land and groundwater thereunder, are free
of contamination in excess of allowable limits by any Hazardous Materials
introduced by Landlord or its employees, officers, or directors or, except
for substances and materials within allowable limits used in the ordinary
course of construction by Landlord's contractors. In the event of any
breach of the foregoing warranty, Landlord shall promptly rectify the same
as its sole cost and expense and shall indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant
harmless from and against any actual damages, liability, suits, losses,
claims, actions, costs or expenses (including attorneys' and consultants'
fees and costs) suffered by Tenant in connection with any such breach.

Landlord may from time to time prescribe in writing for the purpose of
maintaining the proper care, cleanliness, safety, traffic flow and general
order of the Premises, the Building, or the Project. Tenant shall cause
Tenant's Parties to comply with all such rules and regulations. Landlord
shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other
tenant or occupant of the Building or the Project with any of the rules and
regulations.
RENT
6. A. BASE RENT. Base Rent for the Premises shall be calculated on the basis
of the rentable square feet of the Premises at the rates specified in the
Basic Lease Information. Rentable square feet shall include all areas
inside the Building as determined by Landlord's architect. Tenant's
obligation to pay Base Rent for the Premises shall commence on the Term
Commencement Date. Upon completion of Landlord's Work (as defined in
Exhibit B-1 hereto), Landlord's architect shall certify to Landlord the
rentable square feet of the Premises, measured from the outside of exterior
walls, but including areas below the "dripline" in the exterior entrances
and exits and including all areas within the Building such as, but not
limited to, utility rooms and shafts for mechanical equipment. Landlord's
architect shall also certify the rentable square feet of the Project,
Landlord's architect's certification of rentable square feet for the
Premises, the Building and the Project shall be binding upon both Landlord
and Tenant for all purposes under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant currently
estimate that the rentable square feet of the Premises and the Base Rent
for the Premises will be as stated in the Basic Lease Information. Upon
receipt of the architect's certification of rentable square feet, the
actual Base Rent shall be determined and, if requested by Landlord,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment by this Lease which
states the actual Base Rent as so determined. Upon determination of the
actual Base Rent for the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall adjust, if
necessary, the Base Rent deposited by Tenant for the first full month of
the Term as provided in Paragraph 6.B. below.
B. PAYMENTS. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without demand throughout the
Term, Base Rent as specified in the Basic Lease Information and finally
determined as provided in Paragraph 6.A., payable in monthly installments
in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month, in lawful
money of the United States, without deduction or offset whatsoever, at the
address specified in the Basic Lease Information or to such other place as
Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Base Rent and
Estimated Basic Operating Costs as defined in Paragraph 7.A. for the first
full month of the Term (based upon the estimated rentable area as
hereinabove provided) shall be paid by Tenant upon Tenant's execution of
this Lease. If the obligation for payment of Base Rent commences on other
than the first day of a month, then Base Rent (calculated at the rate
applicable to the second full month of the Term) for the partial month
shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in the month.
C. ADDITIONAL RENT. All monies other than Base Rent required to be paid by
Tenant hereunder, including, but not limited to, the interest and late
charges described in Paragraph 26.D., any monies spent by Landlord pursuant
to Paragraph 29., and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Basic Operating
Costs, as specified in Paragraph 7. of this Lease, shall be considered
additional rent ("Additional Rent"). "Rent" shall mean Base Rent and
Additional Rent.
BASIC OPERATING COST
7. A. BASIC OPERATING COST. In addition to the Base Rent required to be paid
hereunder, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent, Basic Operating Costs in
the manner set forth below. The Basic Operating Costs shall be calculated
on the basis of Landlord's architect's certification of the rentable square
feet of the Building and the Project. The certification by Landlord's
architect of the rentable square feet of the Building and the Project shall
be conclusive and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant for all purposes of
this Lease. Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Operating Costs with respect
to the Building and the Project shall commence on the Term Commencement
Date. Landlord shall account for each item of Basic Operating Costs
attributable to the Building and the Project, in a commercially reasonable
and customary manner, and unless provided to the contrary in this Lease,
Tenant shall pay the Basic Operating Costs, as set forth in the Basic Lease
Information. "Basic Operating Costs" shall mean all commercially reasonable
and customary expenses and costs of every kind and nature which Landlord
shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the
management, maintenance, preservation and operation of the Building and the
Project (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied) including but not limited to the
following:
(1) TAXES. All real property taxes, possessory interest rates, business or
license taxes or fees, service payments in lieu of such taxes or fees,
annual or periodic license or use fees, excise, transit charges, housing
fund assessments, open space charges, assessments, levies, fees or charges
general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as
foreseen, of any kind (including fees "in-lieu" of any such tax or
assessment) which are assessed, levied, charged, confirmed, or imposed by
any public authority upon the Project, its operations or the Rent (or any
portion or component thereof) (all of the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively referred to as "real property taxes"), or any tax imposed in
substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously included within
the definition of real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of
which was previously included within the definition of real property taxes,
except (a) inheritance or estate taxes imposed upon or assessed against the
Project, or any part thereof or interest therein, and (b) taxes computed
upon the basis of net income of Landlord or the owner of any interest
therein, except as otherwise provided in the following sentence. Basic
Operating Costs shall also include any taxes, assessments, or any other
fees imposed by any public authority upon or measured by the monthly rental
or other charges payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any
gross income tax or excise tax levied by the local governmental authority
in which the Project is located, the federal government, or any other
governmental body with respect to receipt of such rental, or upon, with
respect to or by reason of the development, possession, leasing, operation,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of
the Premises or any portion thereof, or upon this transaction or any
document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an estate in the Premises. In the event that it shall not be lawful
3
<PAGE> 7
for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for all or any part of such taxes, the Base
Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net to Landlord
the same net rental after imposition of any such taxes on Landlord as would
have been payable to Landlord prior to the payment of any such taxes.
(2) INSURANCE. All insurance premiums and costs, including but not limited to,
any deductible amounts, premiums and costs of insurance incurred by Landlord,
as more fully set forth in Paragraph 8.A. herein.
(3) REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS. The cost of all repairs, replacements and general
maintenance for the Premises, the Building and the Project (except for those
repairs expressly made the financial responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, repairs to the extent paid for by proceeds of insurance or
by Tenant or other third parties, and alterations attributable solely to
tenants of the Project other than Tenant). Such repairs, replacements, and
general maintenance shall include the cost of any capital improvements made to
or capital assets acquired for the Project or the Building after the Term
Commencement Date which reduce any other Basic Operating Cost but only to the
extent of such reduction as reasonably determined by Landlord, are reasonably
necessary for the health and safety of the occupants of the Project, or are
made to the Building by Landlord after the date of this Lease and are required
under any governmental law or regulation, such costs or allocable portions
thereof to be amortized over the useful life thereof, together with interest on
the unamortized balance at the "prime rate" charged at the time such
improvements or capital assets are constructed or acquired by Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. (San Francisco) plus two (2) percentage points, but in no event more than
the maximum rate permitted by law.
(4) SERVICES. To the extent such expenses are not the obligation of Tenant
under other provisions of this Lease, all expenses relating to maintenance,
janitorial and service agreements and services, and costs of supplies and
equipment used in operating and maintaining the Building and the Project and
the equipment therein and the adjacent sidewalks, driveways, parking and
service areas, including, without limitation, alarm service, window cleaning,
elevator maintenance, the Building exterior maintenance and Project landscaping.
(5) UTILITIES. To the extent such expenses are not the obligation of Tenant
under other provisions of this Lease, the cost of all utilities which benefit
all or a portion of the Building or the Project.
(6) MANAGEMENT FEE. A management and accounting cost recovery fee equal to
three (3%) percent of the sum of Base Rent and Basic Operating Cost.
(7) LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING. Reasonable legal and accounting expenses relating to
the Project, including the cost of audits by certified public accountants.
In the event that the Building is not fully occupied during any fiscal year of
the Term as determined by Landlord, an adjustment shall be made in computing
the Basic Operating Costs for such year so that Tenant pays an equitable
portion of all variable items of Basic Operating Costs, as reasonably
determined by Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be
entitled to collect in excess of one hundred (100%) percent of the total Basic
Operating Costs from all of the tenants in the Building including Tenant.
Basic Operating Costs shall not include the following: specific costs incurred
for the account of, separately billed to and paid by specific tenants; the cost
of redecorating or special cleaning or similar services to individual tenant
spaces, not provided on a regular basis to other tenants of the Building; wages
or salaries paid to executive personnel higher than the property management
level of Landlord not providing full-time service at the Building; the cost of
any new item (not replacement or upgrading of an existing item) which, by
standard accounting principles, should be capitalized (except as provided
above); any charge for depreciation or interest paid or incurred by Landlord;
leasing commissions, finders fees and all other leasing expenses incurred in
procuring tenants in the Building; any costs incurred in the ownership of the
Building, as opposed to the operation and maintenance of the Building,
including Landlord's income taxes, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes or
similar taxes on Landlord's business; preparation of income tax returns;
corporation, partnership or other business form organization expenses;
franchise taxes, filing fees; or other such expenses; or any costs incurred in
cleaning up any environment hazard or condition in violation of any

negotiation or enforcement of leases; expenses in connection with services or
other benefits of a type which are not Building standard and which are provided
to a single tenant of the Project; any items to the extent such items are
required to be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant (other than through Tenant's
Additional Rent), or by other tenants or occupants of the Building or by third
parties; the cost of constructing tenant improvements or installations for
any tenant in the Project, including any relocation costs; brokerage
commissions, origination fees, points, mortgage recording taxes, title charges
and other costs or fees incurred in connection with any financing or
refinancing or transfer of the Building and/or any portion of the Project;
attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the leasing of
space in the project (including without limitation the enforcement of any
lease or the surrender, termination or modification of any lease of space in
the Project); advertising and promotional expenses, brochures with respect to
the Project; cost of repairs or replacements occasioned by fire, windstorm or
other casualty, which are paid by insurance or reimbursed by governmental
authorities in eminent domain; overhead and profit increment paid to
subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services on or to the Project, to the
extent that the costs of such services exceed market-based costs for such
services rendered by unaffiliated persons or entities of similar skill,
competence and experience; penalties, fines, legal expense, or late payment
interest incurred by Landlord due to violation by Landlord or Landlord's
agents, contractors or employees, of either the payment terms and conditions of
any lease or service contract covering space in the Project or Landlord's
obligations as owner of the Building (such as late payment penalties and
interest on real estate taxes, late payment of utility bills), except to the
extent caused by Tenant's failure to timely pay or perform pursuant to this
Lease; any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in any
commercial concession operated by Landlord in the Project from which Landlord
receives any form of income whatsoever, whether or not Landlord actually makes
a profit from such concession; or costs incurred in connection with correcting
latent defects in any portion of the Building and/or Project or remediating
Hazardous Materials contamination in the Building and/or Project, or in
repairing or replacing Building and/or Project equipment, where such repair or
replacement results from original defects in design, manufacture or
installation rather than from ordinary wear and tear or use. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in any instance wherein Landlord, in
Landlord's sole discretion, deems Tenant to be
4
<PAGE> 8
responsible for any amounts greater than Tenant's Proportionate Share,
Landlord shall have the right to allocate costs in any manner Landlord
reasonably deems appropriate.
B. PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED BASIC OPERATING COST. "Estimated Basic Operating
Costs" for any particular year shall mean Landlord's estimate of the Basic
Operating Cost for such fiscal year made prior to commencement of such
fiscal year as hereinafter provided. Landlord shall have the right from
time to time to revise its fiscal year and interim accounting periods so
long as the periods as so revised are reconciled with prior periods in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied in a
consistent manner. During the last month of each fiscal year during the
Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant
written notice of the Estimated Basic Operating Costs for the ensuing
fiscal year. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of the
Estimated Basic Operating Cost with installments of Base Rent for the
fiscal year to which the Estimated Basic Operating Cost applies in monthly
installments on the first day of each calendar month during such year, in
advance. If at any time during the course of the fiscal year, Landlord
determines that Basic Operating Cost is projected to vary from the then
Estimated Basic Operating Cost by more than ten (10%) percent, Landlord
may, by written notice to Tenant, revise the Estimated Basic Operating Cost
for the balance of such fiscal year, and Tenant's monthly installments for
the remainder of such year shall be adjusted so that by the end of such
fiscal year Tenant has paid to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of
the revised Estimated Basic Operating Cost for such year. Upon execution
of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Estimated Basic Operating
Cost for the Premises (calculated on the estimated rentable square feet)
for the first full month of the Term. Upon final determination of the
rentable square feet, Landlord and Tenant shall adjust such estimated
payment.
C. COMPUTATION OF BASIC OPERATING COST ADJUSTMENT. "Basic Operating Cost
Adjustment" shall mean the difference between Estimated Basic Operating
Cost and Basic Operating Cost for any fiscal year determined as
hereinafter provided. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end
of each fiscal year, as determined by Landlord, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of Basic
Operating Cost for the fiscal year just ended, accompanied by a
computation of Basic Operating Cost Adjustment. If such statement shows
that Tenant's payment based upon Estimated Basic Operating Cost is less
than Tenant's Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Cost, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days after receipt
of such statement. If such statement shows that Tenant's payments of
Estimated Basic Operating Cost exceed Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Basic Operating Cost, then (provided that Tenant is not in Default under
this Lease) Landlord shall credit the difference against the Estimated
Basic Operating Cost payment next due. If this Lease has been terminated
or the Term hereof has expired prior to the date of such statement, then
the Basic Operating Cost Adjustment shall be paid by the appropriate party
within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the statement and
this obligation shall survive termination of the Lease. Should this Lease
commence or terminate at any time other than the first day of the fiscal
year, Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Basic Operating Cost adjustment
shall be prorated by reference to the exact number of calendar days during
such fiscal year that this Lease is in effect.
D. NET LEASE. This shall be a net Lease and Base Rent shall be paid to
Landlord net of all costs and expenses, except as specifically provided to
the contrary in this Lease. The provisions for payment of Basic Operating
Cost and the Basic Operating Cost Adjustment are intended to pass on to
Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of the nature
described in Paragraph 7.A. incurred in connection with the management,
maintenance, preservation and operation of the Building or the Project and
such additional facilities now and in subsequent years as may be reasonably
determined by Landlord to be necessary to the Building or the Project.
E. TENANT AUDIT. In the event that Tenant shall dispute the amount set
forth in any statement provided by Landlord under Paragraph 7.B. or 7.C.
above, Tenant shall have the right, not later than sixty (60) days
following the receipt of such statement and upon the condition that Tenant
shall first deposit with Landlord the full amount in dispute within sixty
(60) days of receipt of such statement, to cause Landlord's books and
records with respect to Basic Operating Cost for such fiscal year to be
audited by certified public accountants selected by Tenant and subject to
Landlord's reasonable right of approval. The Basic Operating Cost
Adjustment shall be appropriately adjusted on the basis of such audit. If
such audit discloses a liability for a refund in excess of ten (10%)
percent of Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Basic Operating Cost
Adjustment previously reported, the cost of such audit shall be borne by
Landlord; otherwise the cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant. If
Tenant shall not request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph 7.E. within sixty (60) days after receipt of Landlord's statement
provided pursuant to Paragraph 7.B. or 7.C., such statement shall be final
and binding for all purposes hereof.
INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
8. A. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord agrees to maintain insurance insuring
the Building against fire, lightning, vandalism and malicious mischief
(including, if Landlord elects, "All Risk" coverage, earthquake and/or
flood insurance), in an amount of not less than one hundred (100%) percent
of the current replacement cost thereof, except where commercially
unreasonable, with deductibles and the form and endorsements of such
coverage as selected by Landlord. Such insurance may also include, at
Landlord's option, insurance against loss of Base Rent and Additional
Rent, in an amount equal to the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent
payable by Tenant for a period of at least twelve (12) months commencing on
the date of loss. Such insurance shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord
and under Landlord's sole control. Landlord shall not be obligated to
insure any furniture, equipment, machinery, goods or supplies which Tenant
may keep or maintain in the Premises, or any leasehold improvements,
additions or alterations within the Premises. Landlord may also carry such
other insurance as Landlord may deem prudent or advisable, including,
without limitation, liability insurance in such amounts and on such terms
as Landlord shall determine.
B. TENANT'S INSURANCE.
(1) PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and
expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times
until the end of the Term, insurance on all personal property, and Fixtures
of Tenant and all improvements made by or for Tenant to the Premises,
insuring such property for the full replacement value of such property.
(2) LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and
expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times
until the end of the Term either Comprehensive General Liability Insurance
5
<PAGE> 9
or Commercial General Liability Insurance applying to the use and occupancy
to the of the Premises and the Building, and any part of either, and any
areas adjacent thereto, and the business operated by Tenant, or by any
other occupant on the Premises. Such insurance shall include Broad Form
Contractual Liability insurance coverage insuring all of Tenant's indemnity
obligations under this Lease. Such coverage shall have a minimum combined
single limit of liability of at least two million dollars ($2,000,000.00),
and a general aggregate limit of five million dollars ($5,000,000.00). All
such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury, property
damage or loss, personal injury and other covered loss, however occasioned,
occurring during the policy term, shall be endorsed to add Landlord, Riggs
Bank N.A., as trustee of Multi-Employer Trust, the Multi-Employer Trust,
Kennedy Associates Real Estate Counsel, Inc., and the officers, agents and
employees of each of the foregoing entities, and any party holding an
interest to which this Lease may be subordinated as an additional insured,
and shall provide that such coverage shall be primary and that any
insurance maintained by Landlord shall be excess insurance only. Such
coverage shall also contain endorsements: (i) deleting any employee
exclusion on personal injury coverage; (ii) including employees as
additional insureds; (iii) deleting any liquor liability exclusion; and
(iv) providing for coverage of employer's automobile non-ownership
liability. All such insurance shall provide for severability of interests;
shall provide that an act or omission of one of the named insureds shall
not reduce or avoid coverage to the other named insureds; and shall afford
coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury and damage, which
claims occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole
or in part during the policy period. Said coverage shall be written on an
"occurrence" basis, if available. If an "occurrence" basis form is not
available, Tenant must purchase "tail" coverage for the most number of
years available, and tenant must also purchase "tail" coverage if the
retroactive date of an "occurrence" basis form is changed so as to leave a
gap in coverage for occurrences that might have occurred in prior years. If
a "claims made" policy is ever used, the policy must be endorsed so that
Landlord is given the right to purchase "tail" coverage should Tenant for
any reason not do so or if the policy is to be canceled for nonpayment of
premium.
(3) GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. All coverages described in this Paragraph
8.B. shall be endorsed to provide Landlord with thirty (30) days' notice of
cancellation or change in terms. If at any time during the Term the amount
or coverage of insurance which Tenant is required to carry under this
Paragraph 8.B. is, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, materially less than
the amount or type of insurance coverage typically carried by owners or
tenants of properties located in the general area in which the Premises are
located which are similar to and operated for similar purposes as the
Premises, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to increase the
amount or change the types of insurance coverage required under this
Paragraph 8.B. All insurance policies required to be carried under this
Lease shall be written by companies rated A+XII or better in "Best's
Insurance Guide" and authorized to do business in California. Any
deductible amounts under any insurance policies required hereunder shall be
subject to Landlord's prior written approval. In any event deductible
amounts shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord on or before the Term Commencement Date, and thereafter
at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates of the expiring
policies, certified copies of Tenant's insurance policies, or a certificate
evidencing the same issued by the insurer thereunder, showing that all
premiums have been paid for the full policy period; and, in the event
Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or
certificates, Landlord may, at Landlord's option and in addition to
Landlord's other remedies in the event of a Default by Tenant hereunder,
procure the same for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be
paid to Landlord as Additional Rent.
C. INDEMNIFICATION. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or
damage to person or property caused by theft, fire, acts of God, acts of a
public enemy, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or
order of governmental body or authority or for any damage or inconvenience
which may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Building or
the Project or failure to make any such repair, except as expressly
otherwise provided in Paragraph 10. Tenant shall indemnify, defend by
counsel acceptable to Landlord, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages. Injuries or
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, arising out
of or related to: (1) claims of injury to or death of persons or damage to
property occurring or resulting directly or indirectly from the use or
occupancy of the Premises, or from activities of Tenant, Tenant's Parties
or anyone in or about the Premises or Project, or from any cause
whatsoever; (2) claims for work or labor performed, or for materials or
supplies furnished to or at the request of Tenant in connection with
performance of any work done for the account of Tenant within the Premises
or Project; and (3) claims arising from any breach or Default on the part
of Tenant in the performance of any covenant contained in this Lease. The
foregoing indemnity shall not be applicable to claims arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. The provisions of this
Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with
respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or
termination.
WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
9. To the extent permitted by law and without affecting the coverage provided
by insurance to be maintained hereunder, Landlord and Tenant each waive any
right to recover against the other for; (a) damages for injury to or death
of persons; (b) damages to property; (c) damages to the Premises or any
part thereof, and (d) claims arising by reason of the foregoing due to
hazards covered by insurance to the extent of proceeds recovered therefrom.
This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of each
party, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of
subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier. The coverage obtained by
each party pursuant to this Lease shall include, without limitation, a
waiver of subrogation by the carrier which conforms to the provisions of
this Paragraph.
LANDLORD'S REPAIRS
10. Landlord shall at Landlord's expense maintain the structural soundness of
the roof, the foundations and exterior walls of the Building in good
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted; provided that, Landlord shall
not be responsible for the cost of any repairs resulting from damage,
destruction or deterioration which is caused by Tenant, Tenant's Parties,
or by an act or event which is not fully insured. The term "exterior walls"
as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors,
special store fronts or office entries. Landlord shall perform on behalf of
Tenant and other tenants of the Project, as an item of Basic Operating
Cost, the exterior maintenance of the Building, the Project, and public and
common areas of the Project, including but not limited to the roof, pest

staging areas, fire sprinkler systems, sanitary and storm sewer lines,
utility services, electric and telephone equipment servicing the
Building(s), exterior lighting, and anything which affects the operation

Landlord's sole discretion. Except for the expenses directly involving the
items specifically described in the first sentence of this Paragraph 10.,
Tenant
6
<PAGE> 10
shall reimburse Landlord for all such costs in accordance with Paragraph
7. Any damage caused by or repairs necessitated by any act of Tenant or
Tenant's Parties may be repaired by Landlord at Landlord's option and at
Tenant's expense. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice
of any defect or need of repairs after which Landlord shall have a
reasonable opportunity to repair same. Landlord's liability with respect
to any defects, repairs, or maintenance for which Landlord is
responsible under any of the provisions of this Lease shall be limited
to the cost of such repairs or maintenance unless caused by Landlord's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
TENANT'S REPAIRS
11. Tenant shall at Tenant's expense throughout the Term of this Lease
maintain all parts of the Premises in a good, clean and secure condition
and promptly make all necessary repairs and replacements, including but
not limited to all windows, glass, doors, walls and wall finishes, floor
covering, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, truck
doors, dock bumpers, dock plates and levelers, plumbing work and
Fixtures, roof (exclusive of structural beams), downspouts, electrical

withheld or delayed. The service contract must include all services
suggested by the equipment manufacturer within the operation/maintenance
manual and must become effective and a copy thereof delivered to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Term Commencement Date.
ALTERATIONS
12. Tenant shall not make, or allow to be made, any Alterations or physical
additions in, about or to the Premises without obtaining the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld with respect to proposed alterations and additions which: (a)
comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (b)
are in Landlord's opinion, compatible with the Project and its
mechanical, plumbing, electrical, heating/ventilation/air conditioning
systems, (c) are constructed utilizing Union Labor as set forth in
Section 2.4. of Exhibit B-1; (d) will not interfere with the use and
occupancy of any other portion of the Project by any other tenant or its
invitees; (e) are performed promptly and in a workmanlike manner; (f)
the Project remains lien free as a result of the construction; and (g)
are constructed using all new materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may, without the prior consent of Landlord, perform alterations
which do not in the aggregate cost more than (A) in the case of clinical
laboratories, $200,000 per annum, and (B) in all other cases, $50,000
per annum provided that (i) Tenant gives Landlord not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice thereof containing a description of the
work to be performed and the estimated cost thereof, and (ii) the work
to be performed does not impair the structural integrity of the
Building, is not visible from the exterior of the Building, and does not
involve or affect any life safety or Building systems, and (iii) the
work to be performed complies in all respects with the requirements of
subsections (a), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 12. The term
"Alteration" as used herein is defined as alterations, additions,
substitutions, installations, changes and improvements, but excludes
minor decorations. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right of written consent for all
plans and specifications for the proposed Alterations or additions,
construction means and methods, all appropriate permits and licenses,
any contractor or subcontractor to be employed on the work of Alteration
or additions, and the time for performance of such work. Tenant shall
also supply to Landlord any documents and information reasonably
requested by Landlord in connection with Landlord's consideration of a
request for approval hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all
costs which Landlord may reasonably incur in connection with granting
approval to Tenant for any such Alterations and additions, including any
costs or expenses which Landlord may reasonably incur in electing to
have outside architects and engineers review said plans and
specifications. All such Alterations, physical additions or improvements
shall remain the property of Tenant until termination of this Lease, at
which time they shall be and become the property of Landlord if Landlord
so elects; provided, however, that Landlord may, at Landlord's option,
(provided that, at the time Landlord grants its consent to such
Alterations, Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that removal will be
required), require that Tenant, at Tenant's expense, remove any or all
Alterations, additions, improvements and partitions made by Tenant and
restore the Premises by the termination of this Lease, whether by lapse
of time, or otherwise, to their condition existing prior to the
construction of any such alterations, additions, partitions or leasehold
improvements. All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in
a good and workmanlike manner so as not to cause any damage to the
Premises or Project whatsoever. If Tenant fails to so remove such
alterations, additions, improvements and partitions or Tenant's Trade
Fixtures or furniture, Landlord may keep and use them or remove any of
them and cause them to be stored or sold in accordance with applicable
law, at Tenant's sole expense. In addition to and wholly apart from
Tenant's obligation to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Basic
Operating Cost, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to
delinquency any taxes or governmental service fees, possessory interest
taxes, fees or charges in lieu of any such taxes, capital levies, or
other charges imposed upon, levied with respect to or assessed against
its personal property, on the value of the alterations, additions or
improvements within the Premises, and on Tenant's interest pursuant to
this Lease. To the extent that any such taxes are not separately
assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as
invoiced to Tenant by Landlord.
SIGNS
13. All signs, notices, graphics and advertising balloons of every kind or
character, visible in or from public view or corridors, the common areas
or the exterior of the Premises, shall be subject to Landlord's prior
written approval. Landlord shall provide, at Landlord's cost,
directional signage on the Project identifying the location of the
Building. Tenant shall not place or maintain any banners whatsoever or
any window decor in or on any exterior window or window fronting upon
any common areas or service area or upon any truck doors or man doors
without Landlord's prior written approval. Any installation of signs or
graphics on or about the Premises and Project shall be subject to any
applicable governmental laws, CC&Rs, ordinances, regulations and to any
other requirements imposed by Landlord. Tenant shall remove all such
signs and graphics prior to the termination of this Lease. Such
installations and removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid
injury or defacement of the Premises, the Building or the Project and
any other improvements contained therein, and Tenant shall repair any
injury or defacement, including without limitation, discoloration caused
by such installation or removal.
INSPECTION/POSTING NOTICES
14. After reasonably notice, except in emergencies where no such notice
shall be required, Landlord, and Landlord's agents and representatives,
shall have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to
clean, to perform such work as may be permitted or required hereunder,
to make repairs or alterations to the Premises or Project or to other
tenant spaces therein, to deal with emergencies, to post such notices as
may
7
<PAGE> 11
be permitted or required by law to prevent the perfection of liens against
Landlord's interest in the Project or to exhibit the Premises to prospective
tenants, purchasers, encumbrances or others, or for any other purpose as
Landlord may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's
business operations and shall not, except in the case of an emergency, enter
areas of the Premises marked by Tenant as "sensitive" unless accompanied by
Tenant's representative which Tenant shall make available to Landlord for such
inspections. Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent by reason of
the exercise of any such right of entry. At any time within six (6) months prior
to the end of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to erect on the Premises
and/or Project a suitable sign indicating that the Premises are available for
lease. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days
prior to vacating the Premises and shall meet with Landlord for a joint
inspection of the Premises at the time of vacating. In the event of Tenant's
failure to give such notice or participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's
inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the Premises shall conclusively be
deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs
and restoration.
UTILITIES
15. Tenant shall pay directly for all water, gas, heat, air conditioning,
light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler charges and other utilities and
services used on or from the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties,
surcharges or the like pertaining thereto, and maintenance charges for
utilities and shall furnish all electric light bulbs, ballasts and tubes. If
any such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a
reasonable proportion, as determined by Landlord, of all charges jointly
serving other premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages (unless
caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct) directly or
indirectly resulting from nor shall the Rent or any monies owed Landlord under
this Lease herein reserved be abated by reason of: (a) the installation, use or
interruption of use of any equipment used in connection with the furnishing of
any such utilities or services; (b) the failure to furnish or delay in
furnishing any such utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused
by acts of God or the elements, labor disturbances of any character, or any
other accidents or other conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord;
or (c) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water,
electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any other service or utility
whatsoever serving the Premises or Project. Landlord shall be entitled to
cooperate voluntarily and in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national,
state or local governmental agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or
other resource consumption. The obligation to make services available hereunder
shall be subject to the limitations of any such voluntary, reasonable program.
SUBORDINATION
16. Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by
Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, this Lease shall be
subject and subordinate at all times to: (a) all ground leases or underlying
leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Premises
and/or the land upon which the Premises and Project are situated, or both; and
(b) conditioned upon Tenant's receipt of a nondisturbance agreement in the
lender's customary form, any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or
be placed upon said Project, land, ground leases or underlying leases, or
Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items which is specified as
security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to
subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such ground leases or underlying
leases or any such liens to this Lease. 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, Tenant
shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of
the successor in interest to Landlord at the option of such successor in
interest. Within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, and conditioned upon
Tenant's receipt of a nondisturbance agreement in the lender's customary form,
Tenant shall execute and deliver any additional documents evidencing Tenant's
attornment or the subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground
leases or underlying leases or any such mortgage or deed of trust, in the form
requested by Landlord or by any ground landlord, mortgagee, or beneficiary
under a deed of trust.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
17. At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide to Landlord Tenant's
current financial statement or other information discussing financial worth of
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord's request, which
Landlord shall use solely for purposes of this Lease and in connection with the
ownership, management and disposition of the Project.
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
18. Tenant agrees from time to time, within ten (10) days after request of
Landlord, to deliver to Landlord, or Landlord's designee, an estoppel
certificate per Exhibit D or in an alternate form that the requesting party may
require stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which
Rent has been paid, the unexpired portion of this Lease, and such other matters
pertaining to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord
and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be
relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of
the Project or any interest therein. The parties agree that Tenant's obligation
to furnish such estoppel certificates in a timely fashion is a material
inducement for Landlord's execution of the Lease, and shall be an Event of
Default if Tenant fails to fully comply. Tenant acknowledges that failure to
provide the Estoppel Certificate to Landlord or Landlord's designee within the
time provided above may cause Landlord to incur substantial damages. Tenant
hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord for any liabilities, losses, costs, damages
(including, without limitation, compensatory, incidental and consequential
damages), injuries or expenses arising from the failure of Tenant to deliver the
Estoppel certificate in the time and manner provided in this Paragraph. In
addition to any other remedies Landlord may have at law and equity, Landlord
shall be entitled to specific performance of this Paragraph. The provisions of
this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with
respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or
termination. Landlord shall execute (and acknowledge if required by any lender)
and deliver to Tenant, within ten (10) business days after Tenant provides such
to Landlord, a statement in writing certifying that, to the best of Landlord's
actual knowledge this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
modified, stating the nature of such modification), the date to which the Base
Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there
are not, to Landlord's actual knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Tenant hereunder or specifying such defaults as are claimed. Landlord's failure
to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Landlord
that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as
may be represented by Tenant; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Tenant's
performance; and (c) not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
19. Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord upon execution of this Lease, a
Security Deposit as stated in the Basic Lease Information, which sum shall be
held by Landlord, without obligation for interest, as security for
8
<PAGE> 12
SECURITY DEPOSIT (continued)
the performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. The
Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of damages
incurred by Landlord in case of Tenant's Default. Landlord is not required to
keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general
accounts. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant Landlord may,
from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or
provided by law, use such fund to the extent necessary to make good any arrears
of Rent or other payments due to Landlord hereunder, and any other damage,
injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, and Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, on demand, the amount so applied in order to restore the
Security Deposit to its original amount. Although the Security Deposit shall be
deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be
returned by Landlord to Tenant at such time after termination of this Lease
that all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled. Landlord
may use and commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. Upon
execution of this Lease, as collateral for the full and faithful performance by
Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and
damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this
Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unconditional irrevocable negotiable
Letter of Credit in the amount of $950,000.00 meeting the requirements of this
paragraph (the "Letter of Credit"). The Letter of Credit shall (a) designate
Landlord or its assignees as beneficiary, (b) be issued by a financial
institution approved by Landlord, (c) subject to the remaining provisions
hereof, remain in full force and effect during the entire term of this Lease
and any extension or holdover period, plus an additional period of three (3)
months, and (d) be in form satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter of Credit may
be for an initial term of fifteen (15) months so long as it provides that
Landlord may immediately draw the full amount of the letter of Credit if the
issuer does not give Landlord written notice of renewal for additional
successive periods of twelve (12) months at least sixty (60) days prior to the
expiration date. Landlord is authorized to draw on the Letter of Credit from
time to time in the event that (i) Landlord advises the issuer of the Letter of
Credit that there is an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, or (ii)
the issuer gives Landlord noticed that the Letter of Credit will be terminated
or will expire prior to the initial term of fifteen (15) months, or (iii) the
issuer does not give Landlord a written notice of renewal of the term of the
Letter of Credit as required by the preceding sentence. In the event Landlord
shall draw on the Letter of Credit in the circumstances described in clause (i)
of this paragraph, Landlord shall be permitted to draw an amount necessary in
Landlord's good faith estimation to fully cure any such Event of Default,
including any damage, injury, expense or liability caused or projected to be
caused by such Event of Default, and Tenant shall, on demand from Landlord,
increase the letter of Credit up to its full original amount. In the event
Landlord shall draw on the Letter of Credit in the circumstances described in
clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph, Landlord shall be permitted to draw the
entire amount of the Letter of Credit, in which case such sum shall be held by
Landlord as an additional Security Deposit and administered as such. Landlord
may draw on the Letter of Credit regardless of whether or not Tenant disputes
that an Event of Default has occurred and regardless of any other disputes or
claims between the parties. Landlord shall not be required to deliver any
certifications or documentation of any kind to the issuer in order to make a
draw, other than Landlord's written demand certifying that an Event of Default
has occurred. The issuer shall not be required to conduct any inquiry or
investigation before paying Landlord the requested amount of the draw. Landlord
may assign, transfer or pledge the Letter of Credit to any lender or purchaser
in connection with any financing or sale of the Premises. Provided that at no
time during the initial thirty-six (36) months of the Lease Term Tenant has
been in material default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period,
Landlord shall authorize and consent to a reduction by $100,000 of the then
required amount of the Letter of Credit as of the thirty-seventh (37th) month of
the Lease Term. Provided that at no time during the initial forty-eight (48)
months of the Lease Term Tenant has been in default under this Lease beyond any
applicable cure period, Landlord shall authorize and consent to a reduction by
$100,000 of the then required amount of the Letter of Credit as of the
forty-ninth (49th) month of the lease Term. Provided that at no time during the
initial sixty (60) months of the Lease Term Tenant has been in material default
under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord shall authorize
and consent to a reduction by $300,000 of the then required amount of the
Letter of Credit as of the sixty-first (61st) month of the Lease Term. Prior to
the commencement of any of Tenant's Work, and as a condition to Tenant's right
to Early Possession and to commence Tenant's Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord
with proof of Tenant's financial ability to complete and pay fully the cost of
the Tenant's Work. Such proof shall consist of (i) an unconditional guaranty to
Landlord from Tenant's third party lender (acceptable to Landlord), in the form
acceptable to Landlord, that such lender shall pay as and when due all of
Tenant's monetary obligations under this Lease with respect to the performance
of Tenant's Work, or (ii) payment and completion bonds, in form and from
issuers reasonably acceptable to Landlord, bonding the full lien-free
completion of all of Tenant's Work, or (iii) Tenant's deposit into an escrow,
with instructions for disbursement thereof which are acceptable to Landlord, of
all sums reasonably estimated to be payable by Tenant to fulfill its monetary
obligations under this Lease with respect to the performance of Tenant's Work,
or (iv) Tenant maintaining until lien-free completion of Tenant's Work a
minimum unrestricted cash balance of immediately payable funds in the sum of
$10,000,000. Upon Landlord's acceptance of Tenant's proof of financial ability
as set forth herein and upon commencement of the construction of the Tenant
Improvements, Landlord shall authorize and consent to the reduction of the
Letter of Credit to a total sum of $500,000. If, upon lien-free completion of
the Tenant's Work, (A) Tenant's third party lender (acceptable to Landlord)
agrees irrevocably and unconditionally in writing for the benefit of Landlord to
either (i) in case of an Event of Default under the Lease, release its lien or
other security interest in all of Tenant's equipment which is listed on Exhibit
B-3 hereto or (ii) perform (as guarantor) all of Tenant's obligations under the
Lease throughout the remaining Term of the Lease and (B) the total sum actually
expended for Tenant's Work, including the Tenant Improvement Allowance, was not
less than $85.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, then Landlord shall
authorize and consent to cancellation of the Letter of Credit.
TENANT'S REMEDIES
20. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under
the terms of this Lease are not personal obligations of the Landlord or other
trustees, advisors, partners, directors, officers and shareholders of Landlord,
and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Project for the
recovery of any amount from Landlord, and shall not look to other assets of
Landlord nor seek recourse against the assets of the Landlord or other
trustees, advisors, partners, directors, officers and shareholders of Landlord.
Any lien obtained to enforce any such judgment and any levy of execution thereon
shall be subject and subordinate to any lien, mortgage or deed of trust on the
Project.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
21. A. GENERAL. Except in connection with a Permitted Assignee, Tenant
shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without
Landlord's prior written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Except in connection with a Permitted Assignee, if Tenant desires to

ERISA Certificate in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 37, of
this Lease signed by the potential assignee or subtenant, demonstrate that
the potential assignee or subtenant has adequate credit and demonstrate to
the Landlord's satisfaction that the potential assignee's or subtenant's
proposed use of the Premises is compatible with the Project and complies
with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Except in
connection with a Permitted Assignee, if Tenant desires to assign this
Lease or sublet any or all of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord
written notice sixty(60) days prior to the anticipated effective date of
the assignment or sublease. Landlord shall then have a period of fifteen
(15) days following receipt of such notice to notify Tenant in writing
that Landlord elects either: (1) to permit Tenant to assign this Lease or
sublet such space, subject, however, to Landlord's prior written approval
of the proposed assignee or subtenant and of any related documents or
agreements associated with the assignment or sublease or (2) refuse to
consent. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such
election within said period, Landlord shall be deemed to have refused to
consent to the proposed assignment or subletting. Without limiting the
other instances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold
Landlord's consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold
Landlord's consent in the following instances: The use of the Premises by
such proposed assignee or subtenant would not be a permitted use or would
increase the Parking Density of the Project; the proposed assignee or
subtenant is not of sound financial condition, as reasonably determined by
Landlord after receipt of the proposed assignee's or subtenant's financial
statements in form satisfactory to Landlord; the proposed assignee or
subtenant is a governmental agency; the proposed assignee or subtenant
does not have a good reputation as a tenant of property; the proposed
assignee or subtenant is a person with whom Landlord is negotiating to
lease comparable space in the Project; the assignment or subletting would
entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the leasehold
improvements in the Premises; or if Tenant is in Default of any obligation
of Tenant under this Lease. Failure by Landlord to approve a proposed
assignee or subtenant shall not cause a termination of this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 21A to the contrary, Tenant may,
without the consent of Landlord, assign this Lease or sublet the Premises
or any portion thereof to any entity with a demonstrated net worth which
is greater than $10,000,000 which (i) controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with Tenant or which (ii) results from a merger or
reorganization or a consolidation with Tenant, or which (iii) acquires all
of the stock or assets of Tenant, as a going concern, with respect to the
business that is being conducted on the Premises ("Permitted Assignees").
Any assignment or subletting to a Permitted Assignee shall be subject to
and conditioned upon the following: (a) Tenant shall not be in Default of
any of its obligations under this Lease, (b) Tenant shall give Landlord at
least sixty (60) days prior written notice of any such proposed
transaction, (c) the Permitted Assignee shall have a net equity of at
least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) which has been demonstrated in
appropriate documentation delivered to Landlord prior to the occurrence of
such transaction, (d) the Permitted Assignee shall execute an ERISA
Certificate as set forth in Paragraph 38, and (e) Tenant shall provide
Landlord with full and complete copies of all documents executed by Tenant
and the Permitted Assignee in connection with such assignment or
subletting. The right to assign and/or sublet the Premises is personal to
the Tenant and any Permitted Assignee and shall not inure to the benefit
of any other assignee, subtenant or successor of Tenant.
B. BONUS RENT. Any Rent or other consideration realized by Tenant under
any approved sublease or assignment in excess of the Base Rent payable
hereunder, after amortization of a reasonable brokerage commission,
reasonable attorneys' fees related to the subletting, and the cost of
tenant improvements, if any, paid for by Tenant in excess of Tenant's
Work, shall be divided and paid sixty (60%) percent to Tenant, forty (40%)
percent to Landlord; provided, however, that if Tenant expends $70.00 per
rentable square foot in excess of the Tenant improvement Allowance for
Tenant's Work, exclusive of soft costs, the aforesaid division shall be
seventy-five percent (75%) to Tenant and twenty-five percent (25%) to
Landlord. In any subletting or assignment undertaken by Tenant, Tenant
shall diligently seek to obtain the maximum rental amount available in the
marketplace for such subletting or assignment.
C. CORPORATION. If Tenant is a corporation, a transfer of corporate shares
by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other
disposition (including such a transfer to or by a receiver or trustee in
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings), so as to
result in a change in the present control of such corporation or any of
its parent corporations by the person or persons owning a majority of said
corporate shares, shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this
Lease, provided, however, that this Section 21C shall not apply to any
transfer in connection with a bonafide financing or capitalization of
Tenant, or if Tenant is or becomes a public company.
D. PARTNERSHIP. If Tenant is a partnership, joint venture or other
incorporated business form, a transfer of the interest of persons, firms
or entities responsible for managerial control of Tenant by sale,
assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition,
so as to result in a change in the present control of said entity and/or a
change in the identity of the persons responsible for the general credit
obligations of said entity shall constitute an assignment for all purposes
of this Lease, provided that this Section shall not apply to a transfer in
connection with a bonafide financing or capitalization of Tenant.
E. LIABILITY. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant
of any obligation under this Lease. Any assignment or subletting which
conflicts with the provisions hereof shall be void.
F. OPTIONS. Except in connection with a Permitted Assignee, in the event
of assignment or subletting by Tenant, any and all options to renew and
expand shall terminate automatically.
AUTHORITY OF PARTIES
22. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to
enter into this Lease and to perform all of Landlord's obligations hereunder.
Tenant represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter
into this Lease and to perform all of Tenant's obligations hereunder.
CONDEMNATION
23. A. CONDEMNATION RESULTING IN TERMINATION. If the whole or any
substantial part of the Project of which the Premises are a part should be
taken or condemned for any public use under governmental law, ordinance or
regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu
thereof, and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the
Permitted Use of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be
abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective when the physical
taking of said Premises shall have occurred.
10
<PAGE> 14
B. CONDEMNATION NOT RESULTING IN TERMINATION. If a portion of the
Project of which the Premises are a part should be taken or condemned for
any public use under any governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by
right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this
Lease is not terminated as provided in Paragraph 23.A. above, this Lease
shall not terminate, but the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired
portion of the Lease shall be reduced, beginning on the date when the
physical taking shall have occurred, to such amount as may be fair and
reasonable under all of the circumstances.
C. AWARD. Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income,
rent, award, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made
in connection with such taking or conveyance and Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord or otherwise for the value of any unexpired
portion of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensation
specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business, Tenant's personal
property, moving costs or loss of goodwill, shall be and remain the
property of Tenant.
CASUALTY DAMAGE
24. A. GENERAL. If the Premises or the Building should be damaged or
destroyed by fire, tornado, earthquake or other casualty, Tenant shall
give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within thirty (30)
days after Landlord's receipt of such notice, Landlord shall notify
Tenant whether in Landlord's opinion such repairs can reasonably be made
either: (1) within ninety (90) days; (2) in more than ninety (90) days
but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days; or (3) in more than one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such notice. Landlord's
determination shall be binding on Tenant.
B. LESS THAN 90 DAYS. If the Premises or the Building should be
damaged by fire, tornado, earthquake or other casualty but only to such
extent that rebuilding or repairs can in Landlord's estimation be
reasonably completed within ninety (90) days after the date of such
damage, this Lease shall not terminate, and provided that insurance
proceeds are available to fully repair the damage, Landlord shall proceed
to rebuild and repair the Premises in the manner determined by Landlord,
except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace
any part of the partitions, Fixtures, additions and other leasehold
improvements which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises. If
the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage,
the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are
untenantable shall be abated proportionately, but only to the extent of
rental abatement insurance proceeds received by the Landlord during the
time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy. In the event
that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within
one hundred eighty days (180) days after the date upon which Landlord is
notified by Tenant of such damage, such period of time to be extended for
delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or for delays (but not by
more than forty-five (45) days for such delays) because of acts of God,
acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight
embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials,
supplies or fuels, or delays of the contractors or subcontractors or any
other causes or contingencies beyond the reasonable control of Landlord,
Tenant may at Tenant's option within ten (10) days after the expiration
of such one hundred eighty (180) day period (as such may be extended),
terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to
Landlord as Tenant's exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights hereunder
shall cease and terminate thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of
such termination notice.
C. GREATER THAN 90 DAYS. If the Premises or the Building should be
damaged by fire, tornado, earthquake or other casualty but only to such
extent that rebuilding or repairs can in Landlord's estimation be
reasonably completed in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one
hundred eighty (180) days, then Landlord shall have the option of either:
(1) terminating the Lease effective upon the date of the occurrence of
such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated during the unexpired
portion of the Lease; or (2) electing to rebuild or repair the Premises to
substantially the condition in which they existed prior to such damage,
provided that insurance proceeds are available, to fully repair the
damage, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or
replace any part of the partitions, Fixtures, additions and other
improvements which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises. If
the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage,
the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are
untenantable shall be abated proportionately, but only to the extent of
rental abatement insurance proceeds received by the Landlord during the
time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy. In the event
that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within
one hundred eighty days (180) days after the date upon which Landlord is
notified by Tenant of such damage, such period of time to be extended for
delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or for delays (but not by
more than forty-five (45) days for such delays) because of acts of God,
acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight
embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials,
supplies or fuels, or delays of the contractors or subcontractors or any
other causes or contingencies beyond the reasonable control of Landlord,
Tenant may at Tenant's option within ten (10) days after the expiration
of such one hundred eighty (180) day period (as such may be extended),
terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to
Landlord as Tenant's exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights hereunder
shall cease and terminate thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of
such termination notice.
D. GREATER THAN 180 DAYS. If the Premises or the Building should be so
damaged by fire, tornado, earthquake or other casualty that rebuilding or
repairs cannot in Landlord's estimation be completed within one hundred
eighty (180) days after such damage, this Lease shall terminate and the
Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease,
effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage.
E. TENANT'S FAULT. If the Premises or any other portion of the
Building is damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the fault,
negligence, or breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties,
Base Rent and Additional Rent shall not be diminished during the repair
of such damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and
expense of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to
the extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds.
F. UNINSURED CASUALTY. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that the Premises or the Building is damaged or
destroyed and are not fully covered by the insurance proceeds received by
Landlord or in the event that the holder of any indebtedness secured by a
mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises requires that the
insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then in either case
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the
date of notice to Landlord that said damage or destruction is not fully
covered
11
<PAGE> 15
by insurance or such requirement is made by any such holder, as the case
may be, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and
terminate.
G. WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 24., Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of Sections 1932(a), (1933(4), 1941 and 1942
of the Civil Code of California.
HOLDING OVER
25. If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any portion thereof
without Landlord's consent following the expiration of the Lease or sooner
termination for any reason, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each day
of such retention 150% of the amount of the daily rental as of the last
month prior to the date of expiration or termination. Tenant shall also
indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from any loss,
liability or cost, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from
delay by Tenant in surrendering the Premises, including, without
limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
Acceptance of Rent by Landlord following expiration or termination shall
not constitute a renewal of this Lease, and nothing contained in this
Paragraph 25, shall waive Landlord's right of reentry or any other right.
Unless Landlord consents in writing to Tenant's holding over, Tenant shall
be only a Tenant at sufferance, whether or not Landlord accepts any Rent
from Tenant while Tenant is holding over without Landlord's written
consent. Additionally, in the event that upon termination of the Lease,
Tenant has not fulfilled its obligation with respect to repairs and cleanup
of the Premises or any other Tenant obligations as set forth in this Lease,
then Landlord shall have the right to perform any such obligations as it
deems necessary at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
DEFAULT
26. A. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute an event of default ("Event of Default" or "Default") on the
part of Tenant:
(1) ABANDONMENT. Abandonment of the Premises for a continuous period in
excess of five (5) days unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing in
advance of such abandonment keeps the Premises locked and secure at all
times, and timely performs and continues to perform all of the Tenant's
other monetary and non-monetary obligations under this Lease. Tenant waives
any right to notice Tenant may have under Section 1951.3 of the Civil Code
of the State of California, the terms of this Paragraph 26.A, being deemed
such notice to Tenant as required by said Section 1951.3.
(2) NONPAYMENT OF RENT. Failure to pay any installment of Rent or any
other amount due and payable hereunder when said payment is due.
(3) OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Failure to perform any obligation, agreement or
covenant under this Lease other than those matters specified in
subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this Paragraph 26.A., such failure continuing
for fifteen (15) days after written notice of such failure. In the event
Tenant has commenced to cure the failure of performance within the fifteen
(15) day period, but has not completed the cure despite diligent attempts
to do so, Tenant shall have an additional period not to exceed thirty (30)
additional days after such fifteen (15) day period to complete such cure so
long as Tenant continues to diligently pursue the cure to completion during
such additional thirty (30) day period.
(4) GENERAL ASSIGNMENT. A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of
creditors.
(5) BANKRUPTCY. The filing of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by
Tenant, or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors,
which involuntary petition remains undischarged for a period of sixty (60)
days. In the event that under applicable law the trustee in bankruptcy or
Tenant has the right to affirm this Lease and continue to perform the
obligations of Tenant hereunder, such trustee or Tenant shall, in such time
period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction,
cure all Defaults of Tenant hereunder outstanding as of the date of the
affirmance of this Lease and provide to Landlord such adequate assurances
as may be necessary to ensure Landlord of the continued performance of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
(6) RECEIVERSHIP. The employment of a receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Premises, if such appointment
remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after
the order thereof.
(7) ATTACHMENT. The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all
or substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Premises, if such attachment
or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty
(30) days after the levy thereof.
(8) DELAYS. Any delay in the construction of Landlord's Work caused by
Tenant as provided in Exhibit B-1.
B. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.
(1) TERMINATION. In the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Landlord shall have the right to give a written termination notice to
Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice, Tenant's right to
possession shall terminate, and this Lease shall terminate unless on or
before such date all arrears of rental and all other sums payable by Tenant
under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Landlord hereunder shall have been paid by Tenant and all other Events of
Default of this Lease by Tenant at the time existing shall have been fully
remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord. At any time after such
termination, Landlord may recover possession of the Premises or any part
thereof and expel and remove therefrom Tenant and any other person
occupying the same, by any lawful means, and again repossess and enjoy the
Premises without prejudice to any of the remedies that Landlord may have
under this Lease, or at law or equity by reason of Tenant's Default or of
such termination.
(2) CONTINUATION AFTER DEFAULT. Even though an Event of Default may have
occurred, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does
not terminate Tenant's right to possession under Paragraph 26.B.(1) hereof,
and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this
Lease, including without limitation, the right to recover Rent as it
becomes due, and Landlord, without terminating this Lease, may exercise all
of the rights and remedies of a landlord under Section 1951.4 of the Civil
Code of the State of California or any successor code section. Acts of
maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the
12
<PAGE> 16
Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to
protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute an
election to terminate Tenant's right to possession.
C. DAMAGES AFTER DEFAULT. Should Landlord terminate this Lease pursuant
to the provisions of Paragraph 26.B.(1) hereof, Landlord shall have the
rights and remedies of a Landlord provided by Section 1951.2 of the Civil
Code of the State of California, or successor code sections. Upon such
termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which
Landlord may be entitled under applicable law, Landlord shall be entitled
to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid
Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) the worth at the 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 Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that the Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (4) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to
perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary
course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the
time of award" of the amounts referred to in (1) and (2), above shall be
computed at the lesser of the "prime rate," as announced from time to
time by Wells Fargo, N.A. (San Francisco) plus five (5) percentage
points, or the maximum interest rate allowed by law ("Applicable Interest
Rate"). The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in (3)
above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Federal
Discount Rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of
the award plus one (1%) percent. If this Lease provides for any periods
during the Term during which Tenant is not required to pay Base Rent or
if Tenant otherwise receives a Rent concession, then upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Tenant shall owe to Landlord the full amount of
such Base Rent or value of such Rent concession, plus interest at the
Applicable Interest Rate, calculated from the date that such Base Rent or
Rent concession would have been payable.
D. LATE CHARGE. If any installment of Rent is not paid on the date
when due, such amount shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate
from the date on which said payment shall be due until the date on which
Landlord shall receive said payment. In addition, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of the delinquency, to
compensate Landlord for the loss of the use of the amount not paid and
the administrative costs caused by the delinquency, the parties agreeing
that Landlord's damage by virtue of such delinquencies would be difficult
to compute and the amount stated herein represents a reasonable estimate
thereof. This provision shall not relieve Tenant of Tenant's obligation
to pay Rent at the time and in the manner herein specified.
E. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights, privileges and elections or
remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative, to the extent
permitted by law and except as otherwise provided herein.
LIENS
27. Except for the items scheduled on Exhibit B-3, Tenant shall keep the
Premises free from liens arising out of or related to work performed,
materials or supplies furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant or in
connection with work made, suffered or done by or on behalf of Tenant in
or on the Premises or Project. In the event that Tenant shall not, within
ten (10) business days following the imposition of any such lien, cause
the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein
and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be
released by such means as Landlord shall deem proper, including payment
of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord on
behalf of Tenant and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
therefor shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest
at the Applicable Interest Rate. Landlord shall have the right at all
times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or
required by law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection
of Landlord, the Premises, the Project and any other party having an
interest therein, from mechanics' and materialmen's liens, and Tenant
shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) business days prior written
notice of the commencement of any work in the Premises or Project which
could lawfully give rise to a claim for mechanics' or materialmen's liens.
TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD
28. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building or the
Project or a foreclosure by any creditor of Landlord, the same shall
operate to release Landlord from any liability upon any of the covenants
or conditions, express or implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant,
to the extent required to be performed after the passing of title to
Landlord's successor-in-interest. In such event, Tenant agrees to look
solely to the responsibility of the successor-in-interest of Landlord
under this Lease with respect to the performance of the covenants and
duties of "Landlord" to be performed after the passing of title to
Landlord's successor-in-interest. This Lease shall not be affected by any
such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee.
Landlord's successor(s)-in-interest shall not have liability to Tenant
with respect to the failure to perform all of the obligations of
"landlord", to the extent required to be performed prior to the date such
successor(s)-in-interest became the owner of the Building.
RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM TENANT'S COVENANTS
29. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the
terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost
and expense and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to
pay any sum of money, other than Base Rent and Basic Operating Cost,
required to be paid by Tenant hereunder or shall fail to perform any
other act on Tenant's part to be performed hereunder, and such failure
shall continue for five (5) days after notice thereof by Landlord.
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to do so, and without waiving or
releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or
perform any such act on Tenant's part to be made or performed. All sums,
so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs together with
interest thereon at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of such
payment by Landlord shall be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant
covenants to pay such sums, and Landlord shall have, in addition to any
other right or remedy of Landlord, the same right and remedies in the
event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of Default by
Tenant in the payment of Base Rent and Basic Operating Cost.
WAIVER
30. If either Landlord of Tenant waives the performance of any term, covenant
or condition contained in this Lease, such waiver shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition contained herein. The acceptance of Rent by
Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant
of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time Landlord
accepted such Rent. Failure by
<PAGE> 17
Landlord to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease for
any length of time shall not be deemed to waive or to decrease the right of
Landlord to insist thereafter upon strict performance by Tenant. Waiver by
Landlord of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease may only be
made by a written document signed by Landlord.
NOTICES
31. Each provision of this Lease or of any applicable governmental laws,
ordinances, regulations and other requirements with reference to sending,

or Tenant to the other shall be deemed to be complied with when and if the
following steps are taken:

Landlord hereunder shall be payable to Landlord at the address set forth in
the Basic Lease Information, or at such other address as Landlord may

party as specified in the Basic Lease Information or to such other place as
the party to be notified may from time to time designate by at least
fifteen (15) days notice to the notifying party. Notices shall be deemed
served upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery. Tenant appoints as its
agent to receive the service of all default notices and notice of
commencement of unlawful detainer proceedings the person in charge of or
apparently in charge of occupying the Premises at the time, and, if there
is no such person, then such service may be made by attaching the same on

part thereof, or the collection of any Rent due, or to become due
hereunder, or recovery of possession of the Premises in the hands of an
attorney, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs. In any action which Landlord or Tenant
brings to enforce its respective rights hereunder, the unsuccessful party

attorneys' fees, to be fixed by the court, and said costs and attorneys'
fees shall be a part of the judgment in said action.

utilities, delay in transportation, fire, vandalism, accident, flood,

explosion, war, natural or local emergency, acts or omissions of others,

act or obligation shall be excused for the period of the delay and the
period for the performance of any such act or obligations shall be extended
for the period equivalent to the period of such delay.
BROKERAGE COMMISSION
35. Landlord shall pay a brokerage commission to Broker in accordance with a
separate agreement between Landlord and Broker. Tenant warrants to Landlord

building proposed in Phase III ("Phase III, Building. 1) and/or in the

15
<PAGE> 19
except for economic and credit issues including, but not limited to, Rent,

the form of this Lease except for economic and credit issues including,

Security Deposit, Assignment and Subletting rights, and Tenant's right to
make repairs and alterations without Landlord's consent. If Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree as to the terms of the lease within twenty (20) days
of Tenant's written notice exercising its Right of First Offer, Landlord
shall be free to lease the Phase III space to anyone on any terms it deems
acceptable.
D. OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Provided that Tenant is not in Default as of the
time of exercise of each option and the commencement date of each Option
Period, Tenant shall have two (2) successive five (5) year options to
extend the Term of the Lease for the Premises in "as is" condition at the
expiration of the original Lease Term and, if the first option is duly
exercised, at the end of the first Option Term. All of the terms and
conditions of this Lease except for Base Rent and the provisions of this
Paragraph shall be applicable to the Option Period.
The Base Rent for the Premises under such option shall be the then current
market rent for comparable facilities in the proximate South San Francisco
market area. The definition of comparable facilities shall incorporate the
parking amenities of the Premises, and the Building's location, age,
quality, amenities, identity, exterior appearance, interior improvements,
and type of construction, excluding Tenant Improvements in excess of
$50.00 per rentable square foot.
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice to exercise its option at least
nine (9) but not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of
the then current Term for the Premises. Within fifteen (15) days after
Tenant exercises its option to extend, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
the Base Rent, as determined by Landlord, for the Option Period. The
parties are obligated to negotiate in good faith to agree on the Base
Rent. If the parties have not mutually agreed on the Base Rent within
thirty (30) days from notification by Landlord to Tenant of Landlord's
determination of Base Rent, each party hereto shall appoint one
representative who shall be a licensed real estate broker experienced in
the leasing of comparable facilities in the County of San Mateo to act as
an arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall determine the
Base Rent for the relevant Option Period. The determination of said Base
Rent shall be made by said two (2) arbitrators within sixty (60) days from
notification by Landlord to Tenant of Landlord's determination of Base
Rent and they shall submit said determination in writing and signed by
said arbitrators in duplicate. One of the written notifications shall be
delivered to Landlord and the other to Tenant.
In the event the two (2) arbitrators of the parties hereto cannot agree on
the Base Rent for the Premises herein, said two (2) arbitrators shall
appoint a third arbitrator who shall be a licensed real estate broker
experienced in the leasing of comparable facilities in the County of San
Mateo, to act as an arbitrator. The Base Rent for the relevant Option
Period shall be independently determined by the third of said arbitrators,
which said determination shall be made within ninety (90) days from
notification by Landlord to Tenant of Landlord's determination of Base
Rent. The role of the third arbitrator shall then be to immediately select
from the proposed resolution of arbitrators #1 and #2 the one that most
closely approximates the third arbitrator's determination of Base Rent.
The third arbitrator shall have no right to adopt a compromise or middle
ground or any modification of either of the two final proposed
resolutions. The resolution that the third arbitrator chooses as most
closely approximating his determination of the Base Rent shall constitute
the decision of all arbitrators and shall be final and binding upon the
parties.
The parties hereto shall pay the charges of the arbitrator appointed by it
and any expenses incurred by such arbitrator. The charges and expenses of
the third arbitrator, as provided herein, shall be paid by the parties
hereto in equal shares.
In the event either arbitrator #1 or arbitrator #2 fails to present a Base
Rent figure within the thirty (30) day period, the Base Rent presented by
the other arbitrator shall be considered final and binding on both parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Tenant's right
to extend the term by exercise of the foregoing Option shall be
conditioned upon the following: (i) at the time of the exercise of the
Option, and at the time of the commencement of the extended term, Tenant
or a Permitted Assignee shall be in possession of and occupying the
Premises for the conduct of its business therein and the same shall not be
occupied by any other assignee, subtenant or licensee, and (ii) the notice
of exercise shall constitute a representation by Tenant to Landlord
effective as of the date of the exercise and as of the date of
commencement of the extended term, that Tenant does not intend to seek to
assign the lease in whole or in part, or sublet all of any portion of the
Premises, the election to extend the term being for purposes of utilizing
the Premises for Tenant's purposes in the conduct of Tenant's or a
Permitted Assignee's business therein.
E. The Agreement Regarding Shell Modifications attached hereto as Exhibit
G is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Lease.

INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS OF PREMISES
1. LANDLORD'S WORK
1.1 Landlord's work ("Landlord's Work") shall be defined as
the construction of the Building shell more particularly described in Exhibit
C, including ADA facilities, to the extent required by the City. The scope of
the shell construction shall include: The Building shell, roof, all exterior
windows and doors, fire sprinklers at the roof line, utilities and services to
the Building's exterior, an elevator, the parking lot, exterior common areas,
interior stairs (consisting of stair assemblies and metal handrails to be
provided F.O.B.), and landscaping.
1.2 Landlord's work shall be completed through Landlord's
general contractor, South Bay Construction, in compliance with all applicable
codes and regulations.
1.3 Landlord shall pay for all costs involved in shell
construction described in Paragraph 1.1, including, but not limited to, hard
costs and architecture, engineering, consultants, shell building permit and
impact fees, utility fees, loan fees, construction interest, transaction fees
and development fees. Any changes in the Building shell required by Tenant and
agreed to by Landlord shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
2. TENANT'S WORK
2.1 All interior improvements, including installation of
Trade Fixtures, as indicated in Exhibit B-3, furnishings and Building Core
Improvements (collectively referred to herein as "Tenant's Work"), shall be
constructed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. All of the plans and
specifications for Tenant's Work shall be approved by Landlord in advance of
commencing any construction. Such approval by Landlord, shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The parties agree that certain items of the
Building Core improvements (specifically, proof loading of the roof structure
and penetrations in the second deck for future mechanical drafts) shall be
completed during shell construction by Landlord and the cost of such items shall
be deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall invest a minimum
of sixty dollars ($60.00) per rentable square foot, including the Tenant
Improvement Allowance supplied by Landlord, excluding soft costs ("Soft Costs"
are those items described in Paragraphs 2.2 (v) through (xi)), and excluding the
items described on Exhibit B-3 hereto, to improve the entire Premises. Tenant
shall, within thirty (30) days following the term Commencement Date, provide
Landlord with an accounting, certified by an officer of Tenant, itemizing all
amounts expended by Tenant to improve the Premises. If the amount expended by
Tenant is less than sixty dollars ($60.00) per rentable square foot of the
Building, (exclusive of Soft Costs), Tenant shall, together with the accounting,
deliver to Landlord an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit (separate from
but for a purpose similar to the Letter of Credit described in paragraph 19 of
this Lease) in an amount equal to the difference between the amount expended by
Tenant and sixty dollars ($60.00) per rentable square foot of the Building
(exclusive of Soft Costs). At any time prior to the twenty-forth month of the
Lease Term (but in no event more frequently than monthly) Tenant may provide
Landlord with an amended accounting, as above, showing additional amounts
expended by Tenant to improve the Premises (exclusive, however, of the costs of
demolition and reconstruction of the Tenant's Work) since the last date shown on
the immediately preceding accounting. If the total amount expended by Tenant is
less than sixty dollars ($60.00) per rentable square foot of the Building
(exclusive of Soft Costs), the amount of the letter of credit may be reduced to
a sum equal to the difference between the amount expended by Tenant and sixty
dollars ($60.00) per rentable square foot of the Building (exclusive of Soft
Costs). On or before the last day of the twenty-forth month of the Lease Term,
with an amended accounting as above showing in addition any amounts expended by
Tenant to improve the Premises since the last date shown on Tenant's most recent
accounting (exclusive, however, of the costs of demolition and reconstruction of
the Tenant's Work), if the total amount expended by Tenant is less than sixty
dollars ($60) per rentable square foot, Landlord shall be immediately entitled
to draw down from the letter of credit an amount equal to the difference between
the amount expended by Tenant and sixty dollars ($60.00) per rentable square
foot. Upon such draw the requirement that this letter of credit be maintained
shall terminate. The letter of credit shall (a) designate Tenant or its
assignees as beneficiary, (b) be issued by a financial institution approved by
Landlord, (c) be in form satisfactory to Landlord, and (d) be for a term of
twenty-six months. Landlord shall not be required to deliver any certifications
or documentation of any kind to the issuer in order to make a draw, other than
Landlord's written demand stating that Landlord is entitled to draw in
accordance with the terms of this Lease. The issuer shall not be required to
conduct any inquiry or investigation before paying Landlord the requested amount
of the draw. Landlord may assign, transfer or pledge the letter of credit to any
lender or purchaser in connection with any financing or sale of the Premises.
Landlord shall provide to Tenant a Tenant Improvement Allowance of up to a
maximum of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per rentable square foot on the Premises
(Tenant Improvement Allowance") which shall include Soft Costs. The Tenant
Improvement Allowance shall be reduced by the amount Landlord expends on
Building Core Improvements as stated above. Tenant shall promptly pay when due
all costs for Tenant's Work. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant a portion of such
costs not to exceed in the aggregate the amount of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance less amounts expended by Landlord for Building Core Improvements as
provided above. Tenant shall, not more frequently than monthly after
commencement of the construction of Tenant's Work, submit to Landlord requests
for reimbursement of amounts expended by Tenant for Tenant's Work. Each request
shall be certified by an officer of Tenant and shall include, without
limitation, (i) copies of all invoices paid by Tenant for which reimbursement is
sought (ii) proof of payment of each invoice (iii) a fully executed
unconditional lien release from each payee, and (iv) such additional information
as Landlord may reasonably request. After Landlord has received and approved
each request as provided herein, Landlord shall process the approved request for
payment by its lender and upon disbursement by Landlord's Lender reimburse
Tenant promptly for one-half of all amounts shown in the request as expenditures
for costs to which the Tenant Improvement Allowance applies, as hereinbelow
provided, up to the maximum amount set forth above.
2.2 Tenant Improvement Allowance (thirty-five dollars
($35.00) per rentable square foot on the Premises) shall be applied to, but not
limited to the following costs:

labor, material, permits, bonds and the like relating to

based on the Interior Improvement Specifications attached as Exhibit B-2
herein, or as otherwise indicated by Landlord. It is understood and agreed by
Tenant that any minor changes from any plans and specifications that may be
reasonably necessary during construction of the Premises shall not affect,
change or invalidate this Lease and shall not require Tenant's consent.
2.4 Tenant shall contract with WHL Architects for Tenant's Work
to furnish architectural plans and specifications ("Tenant's Plans and
Specifications") required for the construction of Tenant's Work. Tenant's Plans
and Specifications shall also be based on the Interior Improvement
Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit B-2.
2.5 Tenant shall contract with South Bay Construction for
completion of Tenant's Work. Tenant's suppliers, contractors, workmen and
mechanics shall be subject to approval by Landlord, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to the commencement of work and shall
be subject to Landlord's administrative control while performing their work.
Landlord shall coordinate with Tenant's representative the scheduling of
Tenant's Work. Prior to commencement of Landlord's Work, Tenant shall notify
Landlord with respect to any special scheduling requirements of Tenant in
connection with the installation of Tenant's Work. If at any time any supplier,
contractor, workman or mechanic performing Tenant's Work hinders or delays any
other work in the Building or performs any work which may or does impair the
quality, integrity or performance of any portion of the Building. Tenant shall
take all steps necessary to bring an end to the delay or hindrance, and the
contractor in question shall not recommence Tenant's Work until reasonable
steps have been taken to avoid further delay or hindrance. In performing
Tenant's Work, Tenant shall be required to employ contractors (and
subcontractors) which (a) are parties to, and bound by, a collective bargaining
agreement with a labor organization affiliated with the Building and
Construction Trades Council of the AFL-CIO and (b) employ only members of such
labor organizations to perform work within their respective jurisdictions),
with the exception of labor hired for network cabling for personal and

portion of the Building caused by or resulting from the work of any supplier,
contractor, workman or mechanic with whom Tenant contracts. Landlord shall
provide access to Tenant's suppliers, contractors, workmen and mechanics so as
to achieve timely completion and occupancy of the Premises.

approximate date on which Tenant's Work will be substantially completed and
will notify Landlord when Tenant's Work is in fact substantially completed
("Substantial Completion"). If any dispute shall arise as to whether the
Premises are substantially completed and ready for Tenant's occupancy, a

AGREEMENT REGARDING SHELL MODIFICATIONS
As set forth in Exhibit B-1 to this Lease, Landlord is to complete and pay for
all costs involved in certain construction ("Landlord's Work"). Landlord's Work
includes the construction of a building shell more particularly described in
Exhibit C to the Lease ("Initial Project Specifications"). Landlord's Work is
to be completed through Landlord's general contractor, South Bay Construction
("Contractor"). Tenant desires to have Landlord modify certain items set forth
in the initial Project Specifications ("Modifications"). Regarding such
Modifications, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to the following terms and
conditions:
1. During Landlord's construction of Landlord's Work Tenant may request in
writing ("Proposal") Modifications to the Initial Project Specifications
which Tenant desires. Landlord shall have the right to approve or to
disapprove each Proposal in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. In
the event Landlord approves some or all of the proposed Modifications,
Landlord shall have Contractor estimate the cost of such Modifications,
which cost shall be presented in writing to Tenant for Tenant's review
and written approval. Tenant's failure to approve or disapprove the
estimated cost of the approved Modifications within five (5) calendar
days after receipt of the estimate shall be conclusively deemed a
disapproval.
2. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and pay to Landlord: (a) all
costs reasonably incurred by Landlord for Landlord's review of a Tenant
Proposal, including, but not limited to, any architectural, engineering
and consulting costs incurred by Landlord or Contractor to define the
scope and/or estimate the costs of any Modifications proposed by Tenant
(such costs shall be paid by Tenant whether the Proposal is approved or
disapproved by Landlord and regardless of whether Tenant approves or
disapproves the estimated cost of the proposed Modifications); (b) the
actual increase in cost as a result of constructing the approved
Modifications; (c) a fee for the Contractor's overhead and profit per
Landlord's construction contract with Contractor; and (d) all other
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with
the review, approval, and construction of the Modifications, including,
but not limited to, permit fees and change order costs (collectively,
the "Modifications Costs"). Tenant shall pay the Modifications Costs
within ten (10) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice
therefor, provided that Landlord shall not submit an invoice for any
Modifications Costs until Landlord has been billed for such Cost.
Landlord may invoice the Modifications Costs for any Proposal in one or
more separate invoices in Landlord's discretion. Tenant's failure to pay
the invoiced Modifications Costs in full within the time prescribed
above shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under Section
26A(2) of this Lease and in such case Landlord shall be entitled to all
of its remedies under this Lease in addition to its remedies at law as a
result of such failure to pay.
3. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that review of Proposals and
construction of proposed Modifications could delay construction of the
Landlord's Work and, consequently, the date ("Early Possession Date")
on which Landlord grants permission to Tenant to commence construction
of Tenant's Work pursuant to Section 3 of this Lease. Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree that any such delay shall be a "Tenant Delay" for
the purposes of this Lease, and, in particular, for purposes of Section
3 of the Lease. For purposes of determining the number of days of such
Tenant Delay, Landlord and Tenant agree that the good faith joint
determination thereof by Dan Kirby (of Dowler Gruman Architects) and

respectively, shall be conclusive and binding on both Landlord and
Tenant.
