THIS LEASE, referred to herein as "this Lease," dated for reference purposes as of March 14, 2006, is made and entered Into by and between PARK PLACE ASSOCIATES, a California general partnership ("Landlord"), and DANGER, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").

RECITALS:

A. Landlord is the owner of that certain real property together with the improvements thereon consisting of a three (3) story building (the "Building") containing approximately 40,000 rentable square feet, situated upon approximately 1.58 acres of land (the "Land"), commonly known as 3101 Park Boulevard, Palo Alto, California 94306, and also described as Santa Clara County Assessor's Parcel Number 132-26-071-00 (the Building, the Land, and the other improvements thereon are referred to herein collectively as the "Premises").

B. Landlord and Tenant wish to enter into this Lease of the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:


  1. LEASE

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises at the rental and upon all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.


  2. INITIAL TERM

(a) Subject to the execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, the term of this Lease (the "initial term") shall commence on January 1, 2007 (the "Commencement Date"), and shall expire on December 31, 2009 (the "Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm in writing the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the initial term by executing and delivering the Commencement Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference herein. The "term of this Lease" as used herein shall include the option extension period referred to in Paragraph 3 if the option to extend is exercised in a timely manner.

(b) Tenant acknowledges that (1) Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises pursuant to that certain Sublease dated as of July 8, 2003 (the "Sublease"), by and between Pacific Data Images, Inc., a California corporation ("Pacific Data"), as Sublandlord, and Tenant, as Subtenant, and (2) the Sublease is in full force and effect and there is no existing uncured default thereunder by either Sublandlord (to Tenant's knowledge) or Tenant Landlord


acknowledges that (1) Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises pursuant to the Sublease, (2) Pacific Data leases the Premises pursuant to that certain Lease dated as of November 14, 1995 by and between Landlord, as landlord, and Pacific Data Images, Inc., as tenant (the "Master Lease"), and (3) the Master Lease is in full force and effect and there is no existing uncured default thereunder by either Landlord or (to Landlord's knowledge) Pacific Data.


  3. OPTION TO EXTEND

(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to extend the term of this Lease for a period of twenty-four (24) calendar months immediately following the expiration of the initial term. Tenant may exercise the foregoing option to extend by giving written notice of exercise to Landlord at least six (6) months, but not more than nine (9) months, prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Lease ("the option exercise period"), time being of the essence; provided that if Tenant is currently in a state of uncured default after the expiration of notice and cure periods, if applicable (referred to herein as "in default") under this Lease at the time of exercise of the option or on the commencement date of the option extension period, such notice of exercise shall be void and of no force or effect. Such option extension period, if exercised, shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term of this Lease, including the payment by Tenant of the Operating Expenses and Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 5, except that (1) the Monthly Base Rent during the option period shall be determined as set forth in Paragraph 3(b) hereof, (2) there shall be no additional option to extend, and (3) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their then "as is" condition, and Paragraph 13(a) and Paragraph 13(b) of this Lease shall not apply to the option period. If Tenant does not exercise the option to extend in a timely manner the option shall lapse, time being of the essence.

(b) The initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises during the option extension period shall be the greater of (1) Eighty-two Thousand Dollars ($82,000) per month, or (2) the then current fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises on the commencement date of the option extension period as determined by agreement between the Landlord and Tenant reached prior to the expiration of the option exercise period, if possible, and by the process of appraisal if the parties cannot reach agreement.

Upon the written request by Tenant to Landlord received by Landlord no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the option exercise period (e.g., between April 1, 2009 and May 31, 2009) and prior to the exercise by Tenant of the option to extend, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's good faith opinion of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the option extension period. If Landlord's good faith opinion of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the option extension period exceeds Eighty-two Thousand Dollars ($82,000) per month, then upon the request of Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into good faith negotiations for thirty (30) days in an effort to reach agreement on the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises during the option extension period.

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the amount equal to the then current fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises, and thereafter, prior to the expiration of the option exercise period, Tenant exercises the option to extend, said amount shall be determined by appraisal. The appraisal shall be performed by one appraiser if the parties are

 

- 2 -


able to agree upon one appraiser. If the parties are unable to agree upon one appraiser, each party shall appoint an appraiser and the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser. Each appraiser selected shall be an experienced commercial real estate agent with at least five (5) years of full-time commercial real estate experience in the Palo Alto office market.

If only one appraiser is selected, that appraiser shall notify the parties in simple letter form of its determination of the amount equal to the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises on the commencement date of the option extension period within fifteen (15) days following its selection. Said appraisal shall be binding on the parties as the appraised current "fair market Monthly Base Rent" for the Premises which shall be based upon what a willing new lessee would pay and a willing lessor would accept at arm's length for the Premises determined with reference to comparable premises in the market area of the Premises of similar age, size, quality of construction and specifications (excluding the value of any improvements to the Premises made at Tenant's cost) for a lease similar to this Lease and taking into consideration that there will be no free rent, improvement allowance, or other concessions. If multiple appraisers are selected, each appraiser shall within ten (10) days of being selected make its determination of the amount of the current fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises in simple letter form. If two (2) or more of the appraisers agree on said amount, such agreement shall be binding upon the parties. If multiple appraisers are selected and two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on said amount, the amount of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the Premises shall be determined by taking the mean average of the appraisals; provided, that any high or low appraisal, differing from the middle appraisal by more than ten percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in calculating the average. Said initial Monthly Base Rent shall be increased on the first anniversary of the commencement of the option term in the manner determined by the appraisers to be consistent with the then prevailing market practice for comparable space in the Palo Alto office market, subject to Paragraph 3(d) hereof.

If only one appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of that appraiser. If three appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.

(c) Thereafter, provided that Tenant has previously given timely notice to Landlord of the exercise by Tenant of the option to extend the term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating that the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises during the option extension period (and the increase as of the first anniversary of the commencement of the option extension period) shall be equal to the determination by appraisal.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subparagraphs (b) and (c) above, in no event shall the Monthly Base Rent at the commencement of the option extension period be less than Eighty-two Thousand Dollars ($82,000) per month, and in no event shall the increase in Monthly Base Rent as of the first anniversary of the commencement of the option term be less than $0.10 per rentable square foot of the Premises.

The rental payable during such holdover period without Landlord's consent shall be payable to Landlord on demand.


  20. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

(a) In the event of a total destruction of the Building and the improvements during the lease term from any cause, either party may elect to terminate this Lease effective as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the casualty occurs. A total destruction shall be deemed to have occurred for this purpose if the Building and improvements are destroyed to the extent of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the replacement cost thereof. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair and restore the Building and improvements in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(f) below.

(b) Subject to Paragraph 20(d), in the event of a partial destruction of the Building and improvements to an extent less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the replacement cost thereof and if the damage thereto can be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such casualty, and if the casualty is from a cause which is insured (or required to be insured) under Landlord's "all risk" property insurance, or is insured under any other coverage then carried by Landlord, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(f) below. If any of the foregoing conditions is not met, Landlord shall have the option of either repairing and restoring the Building and improvements, or terminating this Lease effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the casualty, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 20, except as set forth in Paragraph 20(d), Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the cost to repair the damage to the Building and improvements would cost less than five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Building and improvements, regardless of whether or not the casualty is insured or required to be insured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 20, if the cost to repair the damage to the Building and improvements exceeds five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Building and improvements, and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant may nullify the effect of such termination by giving Landlord written notice within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's notice of termination that Tenant elects to repair the damage to the Building and improvements at Tenant's sole cost (to the extent the costs exceed Landlord's insurance proceeds), in which event this Lease shall remain in effect, provided that rent abatement shall not extend beyond the date that the restoration is completed.

(c) In the event of a partial destruction of the Building and improvements to an extent less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the replacement cost thereof, and the damage cannot be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days

 

- 22 -


from the date of such casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt from Landlord of a notice stating Landlord's good faith estimate of the time required to repair, restore or reconstruct the damaged portions of the Building or Premises and such estimated time exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days. The foregoing shall not affect Landlord's termination rights under subparagraph (b) above.

Furthermore, if such casualty is from a cause which is not insured or not required by this Lease to be insured under Landlord's "all risk" property insurance, or is not insured under any other insurance carried by Landlord, Landlord may elect to repair and restore the Building and improvements (provided that Tenant has not elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph 20(c) or Paragraph 20(d)), or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to Tenant, subject to the limitations of Paragraph 20(b). Landlord's election to repair and restore the Building and improvements or to terminate this Lease shall be made and written notice thereof shall be given to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if Landlord has not obtained all necessary governmental permits for the restoration and commenced construction of the restoration within one hundred twenty (120) days after the casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given at any time prior to the actual commencement of construction of the restoration; or (2) if Landlord elects to repair and restore the Building and improvements under subparagraph (b) or (c) above, but the repairs and restoration are not substantially completed within two hundred ten (210) days after the casualty, plus the period of any delays in the completion of the repairs and restoration caused by strikes, labor disputes, unavailability of materials, inclement weather, or acts of God ("force majeure delays"), Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said period of two hundred ten (210) days after the casualty plus the period of any force majeure delays, but not by more than sixty (60) additional days.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 20, if at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease, there is damage to the Building and improvements for which the cost to repair exceeds five percent (5%) of the replacement cost the Building and improvements, whether or not an insured loss, both Landlord and Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to the other party of its election to do so within fifteen (15) days after the date of such damage. However, if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant is not then in default under the Lease, Tenant may negate Landlord's election to terminate under this Paragraph 20(d) by electing, within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's termination notice, to exercise any unexercised option to extend this Lease. If Tenant negates Landlord's election, this Lease shall continue in effect.

(e) If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall complete the repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(f) below.

 

- 23 -


(f) In the event of repair, reconstruction, or restoration as provided herein, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionally in the ratio which the Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction, or restoration, from the date of the casualty until such repair, reconstruction or restoration is completed.

(g) With respect to any destruction of the Building and improvements which Landlord is obligated to repair, or may elect to repair, under the terms of this Paragraph 20, the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by the parties. Landlord shall repair and restore any leasehold improvements constructed thereafter by Landlord, or by Tenant with Landlord's prior written consent.

(h) In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 20, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid to the date of the casualty. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damages resulting to Tenant from the occurrence of such casualty, or from the repairing or restoration of the Building and improvements, or from the termination of this Lease as provided herein, nor shall Tenant be relieved thereby from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly set forth in this Paragraph 20, and except in the event of termination of the Lease by either party in which case Tenant shall be relieved of its obligations under the Lease accruing from and after the date of such termination.


  21. EMINENT DOMAIN

(a) If the whole or any substantial part of the Building shall be taken or condemned by any competent public authority for any public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end upon the earlier to occur of the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose or the vesting of title in such public authority. Tenant shall be entitled to receive any damages separately awarded by the court for (1) leasehold improvements installed at Tenant's expense or other property owned by Tenant, and (2) reasonable costs of moving by Tenant to another location in Santa Clara County, California. The entire balance of the award shall be the property of Landlord.

(b) If there is a partial taking of the Premises by eminent domain which is not a substantial part of the Building and the balance of the Premises remains reasonably suitable for continued use and occupancy by Tenant for the purposes referred to in Paragraph 8, Landlord shall complete any necessary repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with a just and proportionate abatement of the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent, based on the extent to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired thereafter. If after a partial taking, the Premises are not reasonably suitable for Tenant's continued use and occupancy for the uses permitted herein, Tenant may terminate this Lease effective on the earlier of the date title vests in the public authority or the date possession is taken. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 21(a), the entire award for such taking shall be the property of Landlord.

(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's breach or by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
