4.2 Taxes and Operating Expenses.


(a) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord monthly, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of all Operating Expenses and Real Estates Taxes over and above the Base Year, any Impositions, and any additional costs charged to Sublandlord by Master Landlord as a result of Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises.

4.3 Application of Security Deposit. Prior to the Delivery Date, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $193,688.00, in a form acceptable to Sublandlord in Sublandlord’s reasonable discretion, and issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord. The letter of credit shall (i) be unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, payable to Sublandlord upon presentment of original to the issuer in person or by courier, in partial or full draws, and (ii) contain an “evergreen” provision which provides that it is automatically renewed on an annual basis (subject to the permitted date of termination set forth below) unless the issuer delivers thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation to Sublandlord and Subtenant. Any and all fees or costs charged by the issuer in connection with the letter of credit shall be paid by Subtenant. The irrevocable stand-by letter of credit shall remain effective from the Delivery Date through and including the date that is 60 days following the Expiration Date.

If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Sublandlord may draw upon all or any part of Subtenant’s letter of credit. If any portion of the Security


5


Deposit is so used, applied, or retained, Subtenant will within 15 days after written demand from Sublandlord, provide to Sublandlord an additional irrevocable, stand-by letter of credit, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Sublandlord, issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its then required amount pursuant to this Section 4.3. Sublandlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent, or any other sum in default. In no event shall Sublandlord be required to apply the Security Deposit. Neither the application of the Security Deposit as set forth above nor the restoration by Subtenant of such Security Deposit shall operate to cure such default or to estop Sublandlord from pursuing any remedy to which Sublandlord would otherwise be entitled, unless and until Subtenant has fully compensated Sublandlord for any damage resulting from such default in accordance with this Sublease and Subtenant has restored any Security Deposit and otherwise complied with the terms hereof. Subtenant may not apply the Security Deposit to the payment of Rent or the performance of other obligations. Unless otherwise required by law, Sublandlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and may commingle the Security Deposit with its own funds. Subtenant will not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit will not be deemed a limitation on Sublandlord’s damages or a payment of liquidated damages or a payment of the Rent due for the last month of the term. If Subtenant fully, faithfully and timely performs every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, the letter of credit will be returned to Subtenant within 30 days after the later of the expiration of the term or Subtenant’s vacation of the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall return the Security Deposit to Sublandlord within three business days after Sublandlord’s receipt of written notice stating that Master Landlord will not consent to this Sublease or the termination of this Sublease pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof.

(c) This Sublease is, and all agreements, instruments and documents to be executed by Sublandlord pursuant to this Sublease shall be, duly executed by Sublandlord and are, or shall be, valid and legally binding upon Sublandlord and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.


(d) Subject to obtaining the prior written consent of Master Landlord to this Sublease, neither the execution of this Sublease nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall result in a material breach of or constitute a material default under any agreement, document, instrument, or other obligation to which Sublandlord is a party or by which Sublandlord may be bound, or under any law, statute, ordinance, rule, governmental regulation, writ, injunction, order, or decree of any court or governmental body, as applicable to Sublandlord.


(e) There has not been filed by or against Sublandlord a petition in bankruptcy, voluntary or otherwise, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any petition seeking reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any other action brought pursuant to such bankruptcy laws with respect to Sublandlord.


(f) Sublandlord is not in default under the Master Lease, nor has any event occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by Sublandlord thereunder.


(g) The copy of the Master Lease attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the Master Lease. The Master Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended. To Sublandlord’s actual knowledge, Master Landlord is not in default under the Master Lease, nor has any event occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder.


(h) Sublandlord has paid all rent due to Master Landlord under the Master Lease through and including August 31, 2003.


11


(i) Sublandlord is currently in possession of the Subleased Premises and except for an assignment of the Master Lease from Epicentric, Inc. to Vignette Corporation, and the Agreement dated April 23, 2001, between Scient Corporation and Epicentric, Inc., predecessor-in-interest to Sublandlord, Sublandlord has not previously sublet, assigned, or encumbered the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof. Sublandlord further represents and warrants to Subtenant that (1) Scient Corporation and its successors-in-interest do not have any rights in and to the Subleased Premises that would affect Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and (2) Sublandlord has not granted any rights in and to the Subleased Premises to any third party other than Master Landlord that would affect Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises pursuant to this Sublease.


9.3 Assignment and Subletting. No portion of the Subleased Premises or of Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law or act of Subtenant, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Sublandlord shall be deemed to have approved any request for assignment or subletting unless it has notified Subtenant in writing of its decision to reasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent within twenty (20) days of Sublandlord’s receipt of a written request for consent from Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to any assignment or subletting, Subtenant must obtain the consent of Master Landlord in accordance with the Master Lease. At Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, Sublandlord will cooperate with Subtenant in obtaining Master Landlord’s consent. Any attempted transfer without the required consent shall be void and shall constitute a non-curable breach of this Sublease; provided, however, if Master Landlord waives its remedies with respect to any attempted transfer in violation of the Master Lease, such attempted transfer shall constitute a curable breach of this Sublease. Subtenant shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses payable to Master Landlord and/or Sublandlord in connection with the proposed assignment or subletting.


9.4 Consent. The effectiveness of this Sublease is conditioned upon obtaining Master Landlord’s consent to this Sublease within 30 days after the date of this Sublease (the “Master Landlord Consent”). The terms and conditions of the Master Landlord Consent shall be mutually acceptable to both Sublandlord and Subtenant in their reasonable discretion. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Master Landlord Consent. If Master Landlord fails to respond to the request for its consent within thirty (30) days of the parties’ execution of this Sublease, then until such time as a response is actually received, Subtenant or Sublandlord may elect to terminate this Sublease by delivering written notice to the other; provided, however, that if Master Landlord refuses to grant its consent, then this Sublease shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such refusal. As of the date of the termination of this Sublease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, this Sublease shall be deemed terminated and any payments made by Subtenant to Sublandlord shall be returned to Subtenant within ten (10) days of such termination or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Sublease, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those obligations which accrued prior to the date of termination and those obligations which expressly survive termination.


9.5 Non-Disturbance. Subtenant may attempt to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from Master Landlord, and Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Subtenant in this process; provided, however, this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect whether or not Subtenant is successful in obtaining the non-disturbance agreement from Master Landlord.


12


9.6 Enforcement of Master Lease. If Master Landlord fails to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall use its best efforts (with Subtenant’s assistance) to obtain Master Landlord’s performance thereunder; provided, however, Sublandlord shall not be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditures in connection therewith.


9.7 Amendment of Master Lease or Sublease. Sublandlord shall not, without the prior written consent of Subtenant, cause or permit any amendment or termination of the Master Lease during the Term that would adversely affect Subtenant’s rights or obligations under this Sublease with respect to the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord may exercise its right to terminate the Master Lease without Subtenant’s prior written consent pursuant to Section 12.5 of the Master Lease provided that Sublandlord complies with Section 12.2 of this Sublease. This Section 9.7 shall not apply to any amendment affecting any space in the Project (other than the Subleased Premises) now or hereafter leased by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall not unreasonably delay or withhold its consent or disapproval of any proposed amendment of the Master Lease. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall not modify this Sublease without Master Landlord’s prior written consent.


ARTICLE 10 — DEFAULT


10.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Sublease: (i) the Subleased Premises are left abandoned, (ii) any part of the Rent is not paid within five (5) days of when due, (iii) any failure to perform any obligation, covenant, condition or agreement under this Sublease (other than nonpayment of Rent, the recordation of this Sublease or any memorandum thereof or Subtenant’s abandonment of the Subleased Premises) within five (5) days after Sublandlord’s notice or, if the failure is of a nature requiring more than five days to cure, then an additional thirty (30) days after the expiration of such five-day period, but only if Subtenant commences cure within such five-day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion within such additional 30-day period; provided that, if Subtenant has failed to perform any such obligation, covenant, condition or agreement more than two (2) times during the Sublease Term and notice of such event of default has been given by Sublandlord in each instance, then no cure period shall apply; or (iv) Subtenant records this Sublease or any memorandum of this Sublease in any public records. Any installment of Rent that is not paid when due shall bear a late charge of 2.5% per month of the delinquent installment, to compensate Sublandlord for its administrative expenses and lost interest relating to such delinquency.


10.2 Sublandlord’s Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs, then Sublandlord shall have the right, at its election, to exercise any, some or all of the following remedies:


(a) To terminate this Sublease, in which case Subtenant’s right to possession of the Subleased Premises will cease and this Sublease will be terminated as if the expiration of the term fixed in such notice were the end of the term. If this Sublease is terminated, Sublandlord will be entitled to recover from Subtenant (1) the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination; (2) the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the rent loss that Subtenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (3) the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Sublease after the time of award exceeds the amount of the rent loss that Subtenant proves could reasonably be avoided; and (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all the damages proximately caused by Subtenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Sublease or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result from that failure. The amount referred to in clauses (1) and (2) is computed by


13


allowing interest at the highest rate permitted by law. The amount referred to in clause (3) is computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award. As used herein, “time of award” means when a decision is rendered by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction.


(b) To reenter and take possession of the Subleased Premises, expel Subtenant and remove the effects of Subtenant, in compliance with applicable laws, without being liable for prosecution, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Monthly Rent or other amounts payable under this Sublease. In such case, Sublandlord may, without being obligated to and without terminating the Sublease, relet the Subleased Premises for the account of Subtenant on such conditions and terms as Sublandlord may determine, in its sole discretion, and Sublandlord may collect and receive the rent. Subtenant will pay to Sublandlord Monthly Rent and other sums as provided in this Sublease that would be payable under this Sublease if such repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Subleased Premises after deducting all of Sublandlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting.


(c) To cure any Event of Default and to charge Subtenant for the cost of effecting such cure, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest from the date such monies are advanced until paid at the rate of 10% per annum; provided, however, that Sublandlord will have no obligation to cure any such event of default of Subtenant.


(d) To exercise any other right or remedy permitted under applicable laws.


10.3 Late Payment Interest. In addition to the late charge provided for in Section 10.1, if any payment required by this Sublease is not made within 5 days after payment is due, interest shall accrue on all amounts owing at the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is less, from the date on which such payment was due until the date on which it is paid in full with accrued interest.


10.4 Remedies Not Exclusive. Each right and remedy provided for in this Sublease is cumulative and is in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Sublease or at law or in equity. If a dispute arises under the terms of this Sublease or if any payment required by this Sublease is not paid when due and the matter is turned over to an attorney by Sublandlord, then Sublandlord will be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other damages and costs of enforcement.


10.5 Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, in no event shall (i) Sublandlord be liable to Subtenant for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages including without limitation, lost profits and (ii) Subtenant be liable to Sublandlord for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages including without limitation, lost profits; provided, however that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply as to damages which may be payable by Subtenant to reimburse Sublandlord for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages including without limitation, lost profits to the extent payable to Master Landlord as a result of the (a) the use, occupancy, or enjoyment of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant or its agents, employees, or contractors, or any maintenance, repair, work, activity, or other things allowed or permitted by Subtenant to be done or left undone in or about the Subleased Premises, the Building, or the Project; (b) the actions or omissions of Subtenant, Subtenant’s employees, agents, or contractors, or of any other person entering onto the Subleased Premises or the


14


Building under express or implied invitation of Subtenant; or (c) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation of Subtenant under this Sublease or the Master Lease.


10.6 Sublandlord Default. Sublandlord will de deemed to be in default of this Sublease if Sublandlord fails to perform any obligation, covenant, condition or agreement under this Sublease within ten (10) days after receipt of Subtenant’s written notice or, if the failure is of a nature requiring more than 10 days to cure, then an additional sixty (60) days after the expiration of such 10-day period, but only if Sublandlord commences cure within such 10-day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion within such additional 60-day period; provided that, if Sublandlord has failed to perform any such obligation, covenant, condition or agreement more than two (2) times during the Sublease Term and written notice of such event of default has been given by Subtenant in each instance, then no cure period shall apply.


ARTICLE 11 — END OF TERM


11.1 End of Term. At the end of this Sublease, Subtenant will promptly quit and surrender the Subleased Premises broom-clean, in good order and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Subtenant will remove all of Subtenant’s personal property and equipment and shall repair any damage to the Subleased Premises as a result of such removal. Subtenant’s obligations under this Section will survive the expiration or other termination of this Sublease.


11.2 Holding Over. Subtenant will have no right to remain in possession of all or any part of the Subleased Premises after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Sublease. If Subtenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Subleased Premises after the expiration of the Term: (a) such tenancy will be deemed to be a tenancy at will; (b) such tenancy will not constitute a renewal or extension of this Sublease for any further term; and (c) such tenancy may be terminated by Sublandlord upon prior written notice to Subtenant on the earliest date permitted by law. In such event, Monthly Rent will be increased to an amount equal to 150% of Sublandlord’s monthly rental obligations under the Master Lease payable during the last month of the Term, any other sums due under this Sublease will be payable in the amount and at the times specified in this Sublease, and any other damages or costs incurred by Sublandlord as a result of any violation of the Master Lease caused by Subtenant’s failure to timely surrender the Subleased Premises shall be due and payable from Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand. Such tenancy will be subject to every other term, condition, and covenant contained in this Sublease.


11.3 No Renewal Options. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it has no renewal or extension options to continue the term of this Sublease beyond the Expiration Date.


ARTICLE 12 — MISCELLANEOUS


12.1 Condemnation. In the event that all or any substantial or critical portion of the Subleased Premises are taken, the provisions of the Master Lease shall control with respect to whether this Sublease will be terminated as a result thereof, and with respect to restoration of the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall have no right to share in any condemnation proceeds. In no event will Sublandlord be in default under this Sublease or be liable to Subtenant or any other person for direct, indirect, or consequential damages, or otherwise, for any termination of the Master Lease pursuant to such provisions, or for any failure of Master Landlord to repair or restore the Subleased Premises or to otherwise perform any of its obligations under such condemnation provisions in the Master Lease.


15


12.2 Casualty. In the event that the Subleased Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Sublandlord shall have no responsibility for restoration of the Subleased Premises. The casualty provisions of the Master Lease shall control with respect to termination of this Sublease and restoration of the Subleased Premises. In no event will Sublandlord be in default under this Sublease or be liable to Subtenant or any other person for direct, indirect or consequential damages, or otherwise, for any termination of the Master Lease pursuant to such provisions, or for any failure of Master Landlord to repair or restore the Subleased Premises or to otherwise perform any of its obligations under such casualty provisions in the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty to the Premises, Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate the Master Lease in accordance with Section 12.5 of the Master Lease if the Sublease continues in full force and effect with respect to the Subleased Premises only.


12.3 Signage. Subtenant shall not be permitted to place any temporary or permanent signage, banners, or other displays on the exterior of the Subleased Premises without first obtaining (a) the prior written consent of Master Landlord (if required under the Master Lease), and (b) all necessary permits and approvals therefor. Any approved signage shall be constructed and installed in compliance with all applicable ordinances, codes, regulations and requirements, and entirely at Subtenant’s sole expense. Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with all of its signage rights with respect to the Subleased Premises only, at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant. Subtenant shall contact Master Landlord directly with regards to Building standard signage.


12.4 Right to Enter. Master Landlord, Sublandlord, and their respective contractors and agents may enter the Subleased Premises in accordance with Section 19.1 of the Master Lease. Any entry to the Subleased Premises by Master Landlord or Sublandlord in accordance with this Section will not be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Subleased Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Subtenant from the Subleased Premises, or any portion of the Subleased Premises, nor will any such entry entitle Subtenant to damages or an abatement of Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges which this Sublease requires Subtenant to pay.


12.5 Sublandlord’s Name. Subtenant is prohibited from using Sublandlord’s name, logo, mark or any other identifying symbol as a business reference, in advertising or sales promotion, or in any publicity matter without Sublandlord’s prior written consent. Sublandlord is prohibited from using Subtenant’s name, logo, mark or any other identifying symbol as a business reference, in advertising or sales promotion, or in any publicity matter without Subtenant’s prior written consent.


12.6 Subtenant Indemnity. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord and its officers, directors, partners, employees, and agents entirely harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, expenses, or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, for injury to or death of any person or for damages to any property directly or indirectly arising out of or in any manner connected with (a) the use, occupancy, or enjoyment of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant or its agents, employees, or contractors, or any maintenance, repair, work, activity, or other things allowed or permitted by Subtenant to be done or left undone in or about the Subleased Premises, the Premises, the Building, or the Project; (b) the actions or omissions of Subtenant, Subtenant’s employees, agents, or contractors, or of any other person entering onto the Subleased Premises, the Premises, the Building, the Roof Space of the Annex, or any additional space in the Building or Annex that is leased by Sublandlord directly from Master Landlord after the date of this Sublease, under the


16


express or implied invitation of Subtenant; or (c) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation of Subtenant under this Sublease. Subtenant shall not, however, be required to indemnify Sublandlord to the extent such damages are ultimately determined to be caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents. Subtenant’s obligations under this Section shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.


12.7 Sublandlord Indemnity. Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Subtenant, its officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees harmless of and from any and all loss, liens, liability, claims, causes of action, damage, injury, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach or default beyond applicable notice and cure periods by Sublandlord in the performance of any of its obligations under this Sublease or the Master Lease, (ii) Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the actions or omissions of Sublandlord, Sublandlord’s employees, agents, contractors, or of any other person under the express or implied invitation of Sublandlord, that occur in or about Subtenant’s leased space on the third and fourth floors of the Building and Annex and any additional space in the Building or Annex that is leased by Subtenant directly from Master Landlord after the date of this Sublease.


12.8 Personal Property Taxes. Subtenant will pay promptly when due all taxes payable by Subtenant, the non-payment of which might give rise to a lien on the Subleased Premises or Subtenant’s interest in the Subleased Premises.


12.9 Notices. All notices and other communications required under this Sublease shall be in writing and shall be given by (a) United States first class mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified, return receipt requested, (b) deposit with any nationally recognized overnight carrier that routinely issues receipts, or (c) by hand delivery (including by means of a professional messenger service), addressed to Sublandlord at its address set forth in Section 1.1(b), or Subtenant’s address set forth in Section 1.1(d). Any such notice or other communication shall be deemed to be effective when actually received or refused. Either party by similar notice given change the address to which future notices or other communications shall be sent.


12.10 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs of Enforcement. In the event that either party hereof commences an action to enforce any of the provisions of this Sublease, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to collect all of the costs of such action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) from the other party.


12.11 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Sublease.


12.12 No Waiver. The waiver by either party of any agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Sublease will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Sublease.


12.13 Complete Agreement and Amendment. This Sublease sets forth the complete agreement between Sublandlord and Subtenant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Sublease may not be terminated, amended or modified in any respect except by agreement in writing executed by both Sublandlord and Subtenant.


17


12.14 Severability. If any provision of this Sublease proves to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease will not be affected by such finding, and in lieu of each provision of this Sublease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, a provision will be added as a part of this Sublease as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.


12.15 Captions. The captions of the various Articles and Sections of this Sublease are for convenience only and do not necessarily define, limit, describe or construe the contents of such Articles or Sections.


12.16 Authority. Subtenant and the party executing this Sublease on behalf of Subtenant represent to Sublandlord that such party is authorized to do so by requisite action of the board of directors, or partners, as the case may be, and agree upon request to deliver to Sublandlord a resolution or similar document to that effect.


12.17 Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant respectively represent and warrant to each other that neither of them has consulted or negotiated with any broker or finder with regard to the Subleased Premises except the Brokers named in Section 1.1, if any. Each of them will indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any claims for fees or commissions from anyone with whom either of them has consulted or negotiated with regard to the Subleased Premises except the Brokers. Sublandlord shall pay any commission due to Sublandlord’s Broker or Subtenant’s Broker in accordance with separate listing or commission agreements with those parties.


12.18 Governing Law. This Sublease will be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California.


12.19 Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Sublease will bind and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Subtenant and their respective heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, successors, and, except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, their assigns.


12.20 No Recordation. Subtenant shall not record in any public records this Sublease or any memorandum of this Sublease. If Subtenant breaches this Section, Subtenant shall be in default of this Sublease and, in addition to Sublandlord’s remedies set forth in Article 10 above, Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord from and against any and all liabilities, costs, damages, or losses including reasonable attorneys’ fees, under the Master Lease that Sublandlord may incur as a result of such breach.


12.21 Annex Roof Space. Sublandlord agrees that upon the written request of Subtenant delivered at any time during the Sublease Term, Sublandlord shall sublease to Subtenant the Roof Space of the Annex during the Term for no additional consideration. Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Roof Space of the Annex, to the extent subsequently subleased by Subtenant, shall at all times be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Office Sublease, dated April 23, 2001, between TMG\One Market, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as Landlord, and Epicentric, Inc., predecessor-in-interest to Sublandlord, as Tenant, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Master Sublease”). Subtenant shall have no right to use, occupy or access the Roof Space of the Annex prior to entering into a sublease agreement with Sublandlord for the Roof Space. The effectiveness of such sublease of the Roof Space shall be conditioned upon obtaining Master Landlord’s and Equity Office Properties’ consent to such sublease within 30 days after the date


18


thereof (the “Roof Space Consents”). The terms and conditions of the Roof Space Consents shall be mutually acceptable to both Sublandlord and Subtenant in their reasonable discretion. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Roof Space Consents if requested by Subtenant. Subtenant shall be responsible for any fees, costs and expenses properly payable to Master Landlord or Equity Office Properties pursuant to Article 17 of the Master Sublease. Sublandlord agrees that during the Term, without Subtenant’s written consent, to be granted or withheld in Subtenant’s sole and absolute discretion, it shall not (i) occupy or use in any manner the Roof Space, (ii) sublease or assign any rights to the Master Sublease or the Roof Space to any party other than Subtenant, or (iii) terminate the Master Sublease. Sublandlord conforms and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it shall have no right of ingress or egress, or any easement or license of any kind, through the Subleased Premises in order to access the Roof Space, and Sublandlord waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right to enter the Subleased Premises for the purpose of accessing the Roof Space; provided, however, Sublandlord, its employees, contractors and agents shall have the right of ingress and egress through the Subleased Premises to access the Roof Space to perform (1) any maintenance, improvements, repairs or replacements required by applicable Laws, Master Landlord or Equity Office Properties, (2) inspections of the Roof Space and/or Furniture, and (3) any other obligations required to be performed by Sublandlord under the Master Sublease.

Base Operating Expenses and Base Real Estate Taxes: The Operating Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord in the Base Year. For purposes of determining Real Estate Taxes for the Base Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Real Estate Taxes for such year as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Real Estate Taxes (including the annual installment of any special assessment, including any special assessment first assessed after 2001, but relating to the renovation of the Building or the initial buildout of the Premises) that would have been incurred during such year if the tenant improvements in the Building had been fully constructed and the Land, the Building, and all tenant improvements in the Building had been fully assessed for Real Estate Tax purposes. For purposes of determining Operating Expenses for the Base Year, if Landlord does not obtain earthquake insurance for the Building during the Base Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the amount of Operating Expenses for the Base Year at such time as Landlord elects to obtain earthquake insurance so as to impute the amount of the premium that would have been incurred as an Operating Expense if not self insured (assuming such insurance was competitively bid and included customary coverage and exclusions and commercially reasonable deductibles).

If the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any part of any year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for that year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, in determine the amount of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes that would have been incurred during such year if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during the entire year. If the management fees for the Building for any year are calculated as a different percentage of gross revenue than in the Base Year, then the percentage used in

2. Lease of Premises.


2.1. Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises, together with the non-exclusive right to use, in common with others, the lobbies, entrances, stairs, elevators, plazas, pedestrian walkways, restrooms, and other public portions of the Building, all subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Subject to compliance with applicable law, Tenant shall have the right at its cost to decorate the stair wells within its Premises and to install a card access system to the doors from the stairwells to the Premises (including all cabling required for such system) so as to permit travel by Tenant between the floors of the Premises.

Tenant shall be solely responsible for the installation, insurance, maintenance and repair of the Dish and the repair of any damage to the roof of the Building caused by Tenant’s use, installation or maintenance of the Dish.. The Dish shall be of reasonable size and design so as not to materially and adversely affect the Building structure, loading, systems or aesthetics. The use and installation of any antenna or satellite dish on the roof of the Building by any other tenant or occupant of the Building shall not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Dish and Tenant’s use and installation of the Dish shall not interfere with the use of antennas or satellite dishes by other tenants of the Building. The Dish may be installed only after the acquisition by Tenant of all appropriate permits, consents and licenses. The provisions of this Lease regarding Alterations shall apply as if the installation of the Dish were a Tenant Alteration.


- 5 -


2.3. Sixth Floor Ceiling. Tenant shall have reasonable access to the space above the 6th floor ceiling of the Building so long as Tenant complies with the following requirements: (i) Tenant shall give not less than two (2) business days prior notice to Landlord and the then current tenant of the 6th Floor of the request for access, unless access is needed sooner due to an emergency, (ii) the date and time requested for access shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and the then current tenant of the 6th Floor of the Building, (iii) access will be restricted to evenings and weekends, and (iv) Tenant shall immediately repair any damage caused by its access; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right during the first ninety (90) days following the date of this Lease to access the space above the 6th floor ceiling of the Building during normal business hours so long as Tenant uses reasonable efforts to minimize its disruption of normal business operations in the Building.


3. Term: Condition and Acceptance of Premises.


3.1 Initial Term and Acceptance of Premises. Except as hereinafter provided, and unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, the Term of this Lease shall commence on the date of the full execution of this Lease and end on the Expiration Date. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant is accepting the Premises in their AS IS condition and that Landlord shall have absolutely no obligation to perform any construction or tenant improvement work in the Premises. Tenant hereby accepts possession of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that Tenant is accepting possession of the Premises subject to the temporary continued occupancy of Scient Corporation in a portion of the Premises, subject to the terms of a separate agreement between Tenant and Scient Corporation.


3.2 Option to Extend.


3.2.1. Exercise of Option to Extend Term. If no “Suspension Condition” (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of Tenant’s exercise of an option to extend the Term or at the commencement of the Extended Term, as the case may be, Tenant shall have one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Initial Term for an additional period that shall expire on December 31, 2010 (the “Extended Term”). To exercise Tenant’s option with respect to the Extended Term, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord not earlier than eighteen (18) months prior and not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (“Election Notice”). A “Suspension Condition” shall mean the existence of any event or condition of default after the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure periods.


3.2.2. Fair Market Rent. If Tenant properly and timely exercises Tenant’s Extension Option to Section 3.2.1 above, such Extended Term shall be upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; provided, however, that the Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the Extended Term shall be the greater of: (a) the Base Rent and Escalation Rent as of the last month of the Initial Term, (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the “Fair Market Rent” for space comparable to the Premises as of the commencement of such Extended Term, or (c) $56.00/square foot of Rentable Area during the first 2 years of the Extended Term and $58.25/square foot of Rentable Area during the remainder of the Extended Term. “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the annual rental being charged for first class space comparable to the Premises in buildings comparable to the Building in the financial district of San Francisco, taking into account location, condition and improvements to the space; provided, however, that Fair Market Rent shall not be discounted to reflect tenant improvement allowances granted to other tenants; provided further, however, that the determination of Fair Market Rent shall take into account the 2001 calendar year Base Year under this Lease. Tenant shall pay all leasing commissions and consulting fees payable in connection with such extensions, unless such leasing commissions or consulting fees arise solely out of a contractual relationship between Landlord and a broker or consultant. All other terms and conditions of the Lease, which may be amended from time to time by the parties in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply during the Extended Term,


- 6 -


except that there shall be no further option to extend the Term beyond December 31, 2010. The Base Year shall remain 2001 during the entire Extended Term.


3.2.3. Determination of Rent. Within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Election Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to determine Fair Market Rent for the Extended Term. If they are unable to agree within said forty-five (45) day period, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined as provided in Section 3.2.4 below.


3.2.4. Appraisal. If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises by appraisal, the real estate appraiser(s) indicated in this Section 3.2.4, each of whom shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and each of whom have at least five (5) years experience appraising office space located in the vicinity of the Premises, shall be appointed and shall act in accordance with the following procedures:


(i) If the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent within the allowed time, either party may demand an appraisal by giving written notice to the other party, which demand to be effective must state the name, address and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the party demanding the appraisal (“Notifying Party”). Within ten (10) days following the Notifying Party’s appraisal demand, the other party (“Non-Notifying Party”) shall either approve the appraiser selected by the Notifying Party or select a second properly qualified appraiser by giving written notice of the name, address and qualification of said appraiser to the Notifying Party. If the Non-Notifying Party fails to select an appraiser within the ten (10) day period, the appraiser selected by the Notifying Party shall be deemed selected by both parties and no other appraiser shall be selected. If two (2) appraisers are selected, they shall select a third appropriately qualified appraiser. If the two (2) appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser shall be appointed by the then presiding judge of the county where the Premises are located upon application by either party.


(ii) If only one appraiser is selected, that appraiser shall notify the parties in simple letter form of its determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises within fifteen (15) days following his or her selection, which appraisal shall be conclusively determinative and binding on the parties as the appraised Fair Market Rent.


(iii) If multiple appraisers are selected, the appraisers shall meet not later than ten (10) days following the selection of the last appraiser. At such meeting, the appraisers shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the Extended Term in question by the agreement of at least two (2) of the appraisers.


(iv) If two (2) or more of the appraisers agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Premises at the initial meeting, such agreement shall be determinative and binding upon the parties hereto and the agreeing appraisers shall forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such agreement. If multiple appraisers are selected and two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Premises, each appraiser shall submit to Landlord and Tenant his or her respective independent appraisal of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises, in simple letter form, within twenty (20) days following appointment of the final appraiser. The parties shall then determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises by averaging 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.


(v) If only one (1) appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of that appraiser. If three (3) appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the


- 7 -


fees and expenses of the appraiser it selects and one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.


3.2.5. Amendment to Lease. Immediately after the Fair Market Rent has been determined, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease setting forth the Base Rent for the applicable Extended Term and the new Expiration Date of the Term of the Lease.


4. Rent.


4.1. Obligation to Pay Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord, in advance, in equal monthly installments, commencing on or before the Commencement Date, and thereafter on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term. If the Commencement Date and/or Expiration Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the installment of Base Rent for the first and/or last fractional month of the Term shall be prorated on a daily basis. On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the first month’s Base Rent. If the Annex Lease is terminated as a result of a termination of the Annex Master Lease (other than a termination due to Tenant’s actions or omissions), then the Base Rent shall automatically be reduced during the remainder of the Term by an amount equal to $6,226.33/month.


4.2. Manner of Rent Payment. All Rent shall be paid by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, payable to Landlord, at Landlord’s Address as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.


4.3. Additional Rent. All Rent not characterized as Base Rent or Escalation Rent shall constitute additional rent, and if payable to Landlord shall, unless otherwise specified in this Lease, be due and payable fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor.


4.4. Late Payment of Rent; Interest. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain based on the facts and circumstances pertaining as of the Lease Date. Accordingly, if any Rent is not paid by Tenant when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with such Rent, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of such Rent; provided, however, that the following additional provisions shall apply to such late charge: (i) the first two late payments in any calendar year shall not result in any late charge payment unless such payment of Rent is not received within one (1) business day after telephonic notice by Landlord to each of Tenant’s Vice President of Finance, Controller and Assistant Treasurer (or any person succeeding such person for whom notice has been provided to Landlord), and (ii) if there are more than three (3) late payments of Rent by Tenant in any calendar year, then the late charge for each subsequent late payment in such calendar year shall be five percent (5%). Any Rent, other than late charges, due Landlord under this Lease, if not paid when due, shall also bear interest from the date due until paid, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest rate legally permitted. The parties acknowledge that such late charge and interest represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative costs and loss of use of funds Landlord will incur by reason of a late Rent payment by Tenant, but Landlord’s acceptance of such late charge and/or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such Rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided under this Lease, at law or in equity.


- 8 -


5. Calculation and Payments of Escalation Rent. During each full or partial calendar year of the Term subsequent to the Base year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Escalation Rent in accordance with the following procedures:


5.1. Payment of Estimated Escalation Rent. During December of the Base Year and December of each subsequent calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable (and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide such information on or before March 1 of each subsequent calendar year), Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its estimate of Escalation Rent due for the next ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during such next ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, in addition to Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated Escalation Rent. In the event such notice is given after December 31st of any year during the Term, (i) Tenant shall continue to pay Escalation Rent on the basis of the prior calendar year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given, (ii) subsequent payments by Tenant shall be based of the estimate of Escalation Rent set forth in Landlord’s notice, and (iii) with the first monthly payment of Escalation Rent based on the estimate set forth in Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall also pay the difference, if any, between the amount previously paid for such calendar year and the amount which Tenant would have paid through the month in which such notice is given, based on Landlord’s noticed estimate or, in the alternative, if such amount previously paid by Tenant for such calendar year through the month in which such notice is given exceeds the amount which Tenant would have paid through such month based on Landlord’s noticed estimate, Landlord shall credit such excess amount against the next monthly payments of Escalation Rent due from Tenant. If at any time Landlord reasonably determines that the Escalation Rent for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such calendar year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such calendar year shall be based upon such revised estimate.


5.2. Escalation Rent Statement and Adjustment. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year, or as soon-thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Escalation Rent for such calendar year, accompanied by a statement prepared by Landlord showing in reasonable detail the Operating Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes comprising the actual Escalation Rent. If Landlord’s statement shows that Tenant owes an amount less than the payments previously made by Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall credit the difference first against any sums then owed by Tenant to Landlord and then against the next payment or payments of Rent due Landlord, except that if a credit amount is due Tenant after termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant any excess remaining after Landlord credits such amount against any sums owed by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord’s statement shows that Tenant owes an amount more than the payments previously made by Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the statement. Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s books and records relating to the calculation of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes, subject to the following limitations: (i) such inspection shall be conducted no more than one time per calendar year, (ii) such inspection shall be conducted within two (2) years after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes; (iii) subject to the following, such inspection may not be conducted by a person or entity whose compensation is in any way calculated based on the results of such audit; provided, however, that if such inspection is conducted by such person or entity, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such inspection; and (iv) such information shall be kept in the strictest confidence by Tenant and any other person or entity performing such inspection. If Tenant in good faith disputes the accuracy of any statement on the basis of any such inspection, such dispute must be alleged in reasonable detail in a written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days following Tenant’s completion of such inspection. If actual Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes are ultimately determined to have been overstated by Landlord for any calendar year, then Landlord shall within thirty (30) days thereafter refund to Tenant the applicable overpayment of Escalation Rent.


5.3. Proration for Partial Year. If this Lease terminates other than on the last day of a calendar year (other than due to Tenant’s default), the amount of Escalation Rent for such fractional


- 9 -


calendar year shall be prorated on a daily basis. Upon such termination, Landlord may, at its option, calculate the adjustment in Escalation Rent prior to the time specified in Section 5.2 above. Tenant’s obligation to pay Escalation Rent, as set forth in Paragraph 5.2, above, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.


6. Impositions Payable by Tenant.Tenant shall pay all Impositions prior to delinquency.

If any Impositions are billed to Landlord or included in bills to Landlord for Real Estate Taxes or other charges, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such amounts within fifteen (15) days after delivery of Landlord’s invoice therefor. If applicable law prohibits Tenant from reimbursing Landlord for an Imposition, but Landlord may lawfully increase the Base Rent to account for Landlord’s payment of such Imposition, the Base Rent payable to Landlord shall be increased to net to Landlord the same return without reimbursement of such Imposition as would have been received by Landlord with reimbursement of such Imposition. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions which have accrued and remain unpaid upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


7. Use of Premises.

7.2. No Violation of Legal and Insurance Requirements.

If Tenant does or permits anything to be done which increases the cost of any of Landlord’s insurance, or which results in the need, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for additional insurance by Landlord or Tenant with respect to any portion of the Building or Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for any such additional costs or the costs of such additional insurance, and/or procure such additional insurance at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Exercise by Landlord of such right to require reimbursement of additional costs (including the costs of procuring of additional insurance) shall not limit or preclude Landlord from prohibiting Tenant’s impermissible use of the Premises or from invoking any other right or remedy available to Landlord under this Lease.

(ii) indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents and employees, harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, penalties, liabilities, judgments, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord as a result of (a) Tenant’s failure or delay in properly complying with any Environmental Law as required by item (i) above, or (b) any adverse effect which results from the Environmental Activity, whether Tenant or Tenant’s subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or invitees, with or without Tenant’s consent has caused, either intentionally or unintentionally, such Environmental Activity. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its agents or employees by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, will defend such claim at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. This indemnity obligation by Tenant of Landlord will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


- 11 -


(iii) promptly disclose to Landlord by delivering, in the manner prescribed for delivery of notice in this Lease, a copy of any forms, submissions, notices, reports, or other written documentation (each, a “Communication”) relating to any Environmental Activity, whether any such Communication is delivered to Tenant or any of its subtenants or is requested of Tenant or any of its subtenants by any federal, municipal, state, county or other government or quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency thereof.


(iv) in the event there is a release of any hazardous substance as a result of or in connection with any Environmental Activity by Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or invitees, which must be remediated under any Environmental Law, Landlord shall perform the necessary remediation; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs thereby incurred within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a written demand therefor from Landlord (which shall be accompanied by reasonable substantiation of such costs). In the alternative, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, to perform the necessary remediation in accordance with a detailed plan of remediation which shall have been approved in advance in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives notice or obtains knowledge of the required remediation. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth in this subparagraph (iv) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Compliance by Tenant with any provision of this Section 7.5 shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord’s consent to any Environmental Activity shall not relieve Tenant of its indemnity obligations under the terms hereof.


Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease Landlord has no actual knowledge of the presence of any hazardous substance in the Building in violation of any applicable Environmental Law, rules or ordinances, except as described in the Phase I and Phase II hazardous materials reports prepared by Geomatrix and delivered by Landlord to Tenant before the execution of this Lease. Landlord shall promptly disclose to Tenant by delivering, in the manner prescribed for delivery of notice in this Lease, a copy of any material Communication relating to any Environmental Activity from any federal, municipal, state, county or other government or quasi-govornmental authority and/or any department or agency thereof to the extent such notice is required by Environmental Laws.

12.2. Landlord’s Election.

13.1. Effect of Taking. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 13, if all or any part of the Premises is taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose, or if any transfer is made in avoidance of such exercise of the power of eminent domain (collectively, “taken” or a “taking”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part of the Premises so taken as of the effective date of such taking. On a taking of a portion of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other given within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such taking, if the portion of the Premises taken is of such extent and nature so as to materially impair Tenant’s business use of the balance of the Premises, as reasonably determined by the party giving such notice. Such termination shall be operative as of the effective date of the taking. Landlord may also terminate this Lease on a taking of any other portion of the Building if Landlord reasonably determines that such taking is of such extent and nature as to render the operation of the remaining Building economically infeasible or to require a substantial alteration or reconstruction of such remaining portion. Landlord shall elect such termination by notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such taking, and such termination shall be operative as of the effective date of such taking. Upon a taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rent shall thereafter be reduced as of the effective date of such taking in the proportion that the Rentable Area of the Premises so taken bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises.


13.2. Condemnation Proceeds. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event of any taking, Landlord shall have the right to all compensation, damages, income, rent or awards made with respect thereto (collectively an “award”), including any award for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease. No award to Landlord shall be apportioned and, subject to Tenant’s rights hereinafter specified, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right of Tenant in any award made for any taking. So long as such claim will not reduce any award otherwise payable to Landlord under this Section 13.2, Tenant may seek to recover, at its cost and expense, as a separate claim, any damages or awards payable on a taking of the Premises to compensate for the unamortized cost paid by Tenant for any Alterations, or for Tenant’s personal property taken, or for interference with or interruption of Tenant’s business (including goodwill), or for Tenant’s removal and relocation expenses.


13.3. Restoration of Premises. On a taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition they were in prior to the taking in accordance with the applicable provisions and allocation of responsibility for repair and restoration of the Premises on damage or destruction pursuant to Article 12 above, and both parties shall use any awards received by such party attributable to the Premises for such purpose.


13.4. Tenant Waiver. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant on any taking of the Premises or any other material portion of the Building are governed exclusively by this Lease. Accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law to the contrary, including California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130, or any similar successor statute.

Notwithstanding Landlord’s election to continue this Lease in effect, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 20.3.


20.4. Damages Upon Termination. If and when Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to Section 20.3, Landlord may exercise all its rights and remedies available under California Civil Code Section 1951.2, including the right to recover from Tenant 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 have been reasonably avoided. As used herein and in Civil Code Section 1951.2, “time of award” means either the date upon which Tenant pays to Landlord the amount recoverable by Landlord, or the date of entry of any determination, order or judgment of any court or other legally constituted body determining the amount recoverable, whichever occurs first.


20.5. Computation of Certain Rent for Purposes of Default. For purposes of computing unpaid Rent pursuant to Section 20.4 above, Escalation Rent for the balance of the Term shall be determined by averaging the amount paid by Tenant as Escalation Rent for the calendar year prior to the year in which the default occurred (or, if the prior year is the Base Year or such default occurs during the Base Year, Escalation Rent shall be based on Landlord’s operating budget for the Building for the Base Year), increasing such average amount for each calendar year (or portion thereof) remaining in the balance of the Term at a per annum compounded rate equal to the mean average rate of increase for the preceding five (5) calendar years in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-1984 = 100) for the Metropolitan Area of which San Francisco, California, is a part, and adding together the resulting amounts. If such Index is discontinued or revised, such computation shall be made by reference to the index designated as the successor or substitute index by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor agency, and if none is designated, by a comparable index as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, which would likely achieve a comparable result to that achieved by the use of the Consumer Price Index. If the base year of the Consumer Price Index is changed, then the conversion factor specified by the Bureau, or successor agency, shall be utilized to determine the Consumer Price Index.


20.6. Right to Cure Defaults. If Tenant fails to pay Rent (other than Base Rent and Escalation Rent) required to be paid by it hereunder, or fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease, and Tenant fails to cure such default within the applicable cure period, if any, specified in Section 20.2 above, then Landlord may, without waiving any of Landlord’s rights in connection therewith or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations or such default, make any such payment or perform such other obligation on behalf of Tenant. Prior to commencing such payment or performing such obligation on behalf of Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant of its intentions to do so. All payments so made by Landlord, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to perform such obligations, shall be due and payable by Tenant as Rent immediately upon receipt of Landlord’s demand therefor. If Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Tenant (provided Landlord shall have a longer time if reasonably necessary if Landlord commences cure within such fifteen (15) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion) and such failure materially and adversely affects Tenant’s use of the Premises, then Tenant shall give Landlord an additional three (3) business days prior notice. If Landlord has not commenced performance of its obligation within such three (3) business day period. Tenant shall have the right to perform such obligation on Landlord’s behalf, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost thereof within thirty (30) days after presentation of a reasonably detailed invoice demonstrating the expenses incurred by Tenant. In the event Tenant makes any repairs to the Premises on Landlord’s behalf pursuant to this Section 20.6, Tenant shall be responsible


- 26 -


for damages or injuries caused by Tenant or its employees, contractors and subcontractors in making such repairs or any defect therein and shall indemnify Landlord against any liability, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of such repair or any defect in the work performed.


20.7. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity. Landlord’s pursuit of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other right or remedy.


21. Subordination, Attornment and Nondisturbance.


21.1. Subordination and Attornment. This Lease and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder shall be subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, and the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or any other security instrument now or hereafter affecting or encumbering the Building, or any part thereof or interest therein, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof or Landlord’s interest therein, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (an “encumbrance”, the holder of the beneficial interest thereunder being referred to as an “encumbrancer”). An encumbrancer may, however, subordinate its encumbrance to this Lease, and if an encumbrancer so elects by notice to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such encumbrance. If any encumbrance to which this Lease is subordinate is foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the encumbrancer thereunder, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure; and if any encumbrance consisting of a ground lease or underlying lease to which this Lease is subordinate is terminated, Tenant shall attorn to the lessor thereof. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver in the form requested by Landlord or any encumbrancer, any documents required to evidence or effectuate the subordination hereunder, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any encumbrance, or to evidence such attornment.


21.2. Nondisturbance. If any encumbrance to which this Lease is subordinate is foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the encumbrancer thereunder, or if any encumbrance consisting of a ground lease or underlying lease to which this Lease is subordinate is terminated, this Lease shall not terminate, and the rights and possession of Tenant under this Lease shall not be disturbed if (i) no default by Tenant then exists under this Lease; (ii) Tenant attorns to the purchaser, grantee, or successor lessor as provided in Section 21.1 above or, if requested, enters into a new lease for the balance of the Term upon the same terms and provisions contained in this Lease; and (iii) Tenant enters into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such encumbrancer with respect to subordination, attornment and non-disturbance.


22. Sale or Transfer by Landlord; Lease Non-Recourse.


22.1. Release of Landlord on Transfer. Landlord may at any time transfer, in whole or in part, its right, title and interest under this Lease and in the Building, or any portion thereof. If the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor to such original Landlord, transfers (by sale, assignment or otherwise) its right, title or interest in the Building, all liabilities and obligations of the original Landlord or such successor under this Lease accruing after such transfer shall terminate, the original Landlord or such successor shall automatically be released therefrom, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant shall attorn to each such new owner.


22.2. Lease Nonrecourse to Landlord. Landlord shall in no event be personally liable under this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building, for recovery of any damages for breach of this Lease by Landlord or on any judgment in connection therewith. None of the persons or entities comprising or representing Landlord (whether partners, shareholders, officers,


- 27 -


directors, trustees, employees, beneficiaries, agents or otherwise) shall ever be personally liable under this Lease or liable for any such damages or judgment and Tenant shall have no right to effect any levy of execution against any assets of such persons or entities on account of any such liability or judgment. Any lien obtained by Tenant to enforce any such judgment, and any levy of execution thereon, shall be subject and subordinate to all encumbrances as specified in Article 21 above.

In addition, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide to Landlord for delivery to any such entity such information, including financial information, that may reasonably be requested by any such entity. Any such certificate shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of any claims Tenant may have in contravention to the information contained in such certificate and Tenant shall be estopped from asserting any such claim. If Tenant fails or refuses to give a certificate hereunder within the time period herein specified, Landlord shall have the right to treat such failure or refusal as a default by Tenant.

Any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view to or from the Premises by any structure which now exists or which may hereafter be erected, whether by Landlord or any other person, shall in no way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent, or impose any liability on Landlord.


- 28 -


25. Holding Over. No holding over by Tenant shall operate to extend the Term. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing, then (i) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent shall be increased to equal 150% of the Base Rent then in effect; (ii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord, and any tenant to whom Landlord has leased all or part of the Premises, from any and all liability, loss, damages, costs or expense (including loss of Rent to Landlord or additional rent payable by such tenant and reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by either Landlord or such tenant resulting from Tenant’s failure timely to vacate the Premises; and (iii) such holding over by Tenant shall constitute a default by Tenant.


26. Security Deposit.


26.1 Initial Security Deposit. If so specified in the Basic Lease Information, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, in cash, the Security Deposit on the date provided in the Basic Lease Information. Subject to the provisions of Section 26.3 below, the amount of the Security Deposit shall, at all times during the Term, be $2,750,000.00 (the “Required Amount”). At Tenant’s option, the Security Deposit may be in the form of an unconditional, clean, irrevocable, standby letter of credit (“L-C”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent due hereunder, or otherwise commits a default with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any such Rent or for the payment of any other amounts expended or incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may incur thereby (and in this regard Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7(c) and any similar or successor statute providing that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean the Premises). Exercise by Landlord of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of, or relieve Tenant from any liability for, any default. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its full amount. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without interest, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest under this Lease, or to such person as Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree) within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or (ii) vacation of the Premises by Tenant if the Premises has been left in the condition specified by this Lease. Landlord’s receipt and retention of the Security Deposit shall not create any trust or fiduciary relationship between Landlord and Tenant and Landlord need not keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Upon termination of the original Landlord’s (or any successor owner’s) interest in the Premises, the original Landlord (or such successor) shall be released from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit upon the original Landlord’s (or such successor’s) compliance with California Civil Code Section 1950.7(d), or successor statute.


26.2 Letter of Credit Provisions. If at any time Tenant elects to deposit an L-C as the Security Deposit, the L-C shall be issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord, shall be issued for a term of at least twelve (12) months, shall be unconditional, clean and irrevocable, and shall be in a form and with such content reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The L-C shall be payable on sight with the bearer’s draft. The L-C shall state that it shall be payable against sight drafts presented by Landlord, accompanied by Landlord’s statement that said drawing is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease; no other document or certification from Landlord shall be required to negotiate the L-C. Landlord may designate any bank as Landlord’s advising bank for collection purposes and any sight drafts


- 29 -


for the collection of the L-C may be presented by the advising bank on Landlord’s behalf. Tenant shall either replace the expiring L-C with an L-C in an amount equal to the original L-C or renew the expiring L-C, in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of the L-C then in effect. If Tenant fails to deposit a replacement L-C or renew the expiring L-C, Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the expiring L-C for the full amount thereof and hold the same as the Security Deposit; provided, however, that if Tenant provides a replacement L-C that meets the requirements of this Article 26, then Landlord shall return to Tenant promptly in cash that amount of the L-C that had been drawn upon by Landlord. The fee for the maintenance of the L-C shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The L-C shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord. The L-C shall be transferable to any of the following parties: (i) any secured or unsecured lender of Landlord, (ii) any assignee, successor, transferee or other purchaser of all or any portion of the Building, or any interest in the Building, (iii) any partner, shareholder, member or other direct or indirect beneficial owner in Landlord (to the extent of their interest in the Lease). Further, in the event of any sale, assignment or transfer by the Landlord of its interest in the Premises or the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to assign or transfer the L-C to its grantee, assignee or transferee and in the event of any sale, assignment or transfer; the landlord so assigning or transferring the L-C shall have no liability to the Tenant for the return of the L-C, and Tenant shall look solely to such grantee, assignee or transferee for such return. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and such use, application or retention shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.


26.3. Reduction of Letter of Credit. So long as Epicentric, Inc. or a Related Entity is the Tenant under this Lease, then the Required Amount shall be subject to reduction in the manner set forth in this Section 26.3.


26.3.1. Calendar Year 2002. If Tenant shall generate “Net Cash Provided by (used by) Operating Activities” of $5,000,000, as shown on Tenant’s audited financial statements for the calendar year 2002, and Tenant furnishes to Landlord, on or before March 31, 2003 evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, including annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, consistently applied, externally audited by a “Big 5” certified public accountant (“Financial Statements”), which satisfaction or not shall be determined by Landlord, and advised to Tenant, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such evidence, the Required Amount shall be reduced by $580,000, effective upon delivery of notice to Tenant from Landlord of its satisfaction with such evidence.


26.3.2. Calendar Year 2003. If Tenant shall generate “Net Cash Provided by (used by) Operating Activities” of $15,000,000, as shown on Tenant’s audited financial statements for the calendar year 2003 and Tenant furnishes to Landlord, on or before March 31, 2004, evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, including Financial Statements, which satisfaction or not shall be determined by Landlord, and advised to Tenant, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such evidence, the Required Amount shall be reduced by $580,000, effective upon delivery of notice to Tenant from Landlord of its satisfaction with such evidence.


26.3.3. Calendar Years 2004 and Thereafter. If Tenant shall generate “Net Cash Provided by (used by) Operating Activities” of $25,000,000, as shown on Tenant’s audited financial statements for the calendar year 2004 (and each calendar year thereafter during the term of the lease) and Tenant furnishes to Landlord, on or before March 31, 2005 (and each March 31 thereafter during the term of the lease), evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, including Financial Statements, which satisfaction or not shall be determined by Landlord, and advised to Tenant, within ten (10) business days


- 30 -


after receipt of such evidence, the Required Amount shall be reduced by $580,000, but in no event shall the Required Amount at any time be less than $1,050,000, effective upon delivery of notice to Tenant from Landlord of its satisfaction with such evidence.


26.3.4. Limitations of Reduction of Required Amount. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 26.3.1, 26.3.2, and 26.3.3 to the contrary, the Required Amount shall not be reduced at any time if Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease at the time such reduction would go into effect or if Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in order to determine whether Tenant has satisfied any of the provisions of this Section 26.3.


26.3.5. Procedure for Reduction. Each time the Required Amount is reduced, Tenant shall be entitled to amend the Letter of Credit to reflect such reduction provided that Tenant is not in default under any provision of this Lease.


26.3.6. Increase of Required Amount. The Required Amount shall be subject to increase if, at any time after the Required Amount has been reduced to less than an amount equal to Base Rent on a proforma basis for the next succeeding six (6) month period (“6 Months Rent Amount”), Tenant does not maintain a “Net Cash Provided by (used by) Operating Activities” of $2,500,000, as shown on Tenant’s unaudited financial statements for any two (2) consecutive quarters. In such event, the Required Amount shall be increased to the 6 Months Rent Amount and Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an amendment of the Letter of Credit to reflect such increase in the Required Amount within ten (10) business days after the delivery of the evidence to Landlord as required herein. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (i) within fifteen (l5) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term quarterly statements of net income and cash flow accompanied by a certificate of Tenant’s chief financial officer, acting on behalf of Tenant (not personally), that such statements are true, correct and complete, and (ii) audited (in accordance with Section 26.3.1 above) Financial Statements of Tenant within ninety (90) days after the end of Tenant’s fiscal year.


27. Waiver. Failure of Landlord to declare a default by Tenant upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare such default at any time after its occurrence. To be effective, a waiver of any provision of this Lease, or any default, shall be in writing and signed by the waiving party. Any waiver hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of subsequent performance of any such provision or subsequent defaults. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder, or endorsement of any check by Landlord, shall not be deemed to constitute an accord and satisfaction or a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant, except as to the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding default at the time of acceptance of the Rent. No course of conduct between Landlord and Tenant, and no acceptance of the keys to or possession of the Premises by Landlord before the Expiration Date shall constitute a waiver of any provision of this Lease or of any default, or operate as a surrender of this Lease.


28. Notices and Consents: Tenant’s Agent for Service. All notices, approvals, consents, demands and other communications from one party to the other given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be made by personal delivery, by use of a reputable overnight courier service or by deposit in the United States mail, certified, registered or Express, postage prepaid and return receipt requested. Notices shall be addressed if to Landlord, to Landlord’s Address, and if to Tenant, to Tenant’s Address. Landlord and Tenant may each change their respective Addresses from time to time by giving written notice to the other of such change in accordance with the terms of this Article 28, at least ten (10) days before such change is to be effected. Any notice given in accordance with this Article 28 shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date of personal delivery or (ii) on the earlier of the date of delivery or attempted delivery (as shown by the return receipt or other delivery record) if sent by courier service or mailed.


- 31 -


29. Tenant’s Authority. Tenant, and each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant, represent and warrant that (i) Tenant is a duly formed, authorized and existing corporation, partnership or trust (as the case may be), (ii) Tenant is qualified to do business in California, (iii) Tenant has the full right and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and (iv) each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Landlord’s request, such reasonable written assurances authorizing Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease.


30. Automobile Parking. There shall be no parking provided to Tenant in the Building or at any other location except as set forth in this Article 30. Pursuant to the terms of the lease between the owner of the Annex and Landlord for the Annex (the “Annex Master Lease”). Landlord currently has the right to use a certain number of parking spaces located within and outside the One Market Tower project adjacent to the Building (as such number of spaces increase or decrease, the “Landlord Parking Rights”). For as long as Landlord maintains the Landlord Parking Rights, Landlord shall provide to Tenant, at market rate costs to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, seven (7) parking spaces, a minimum of two (2) of such parking spaces shall be located within the One Market Tower project so long as Landlord has the Landlord Parking Rights pursuant to the Annex Master Lease to at least eight (8) spaces therein.


31. Tenant to Furnish Financial Statements. In order to induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Landlord, from time to time, upon Landlord’s written request, financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of income and expenses on an annualized basis) reflecting Tenant’s then current financial condition; provided, however, that so long as Tenant is a company publicly traded on The New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, then Tenant shall only be obligated to provide to Landlord financial statements that are generally available to the public. Such statements shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s request. Tenant represents and warrants that all financial statements, records, and information furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease are and shall be true, correct and complete in all respects. So long as such financial information is not generally available to the public. Landlord shall (i) use such information only for the purposes described in this Agreement, (ii) keep such information confidential, and (iii) only disclose such information to Landlord’s attorneys, accountants, partners, lenders, investors, prospective purchasers, employees and other persons with a need to know who are subject to these same confidentiality restrictions.


32. Tenant’s Signs. Except as expressly provided in this Article 32, without Landlord’s prior consent, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion, Tenant shall not place on the Premises or on the Building any exterior signs nor any interior signs that are visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses relating to any such sign approved by Landlord, including without limitation, the cost of the installation and maintenance of the sign. On the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all signs and repair any damage caused by such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the lobby signage rights of Scient Corporation (“Scient”) are relinquished pursuant to the terms of that certain lease between Scient Corporation and Landlord with respect to the 5th and 6th Floors of the Building (the “Scient Premises”), then, subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent as to size, design and location, which consent shall not be unreasonably withhold, Tenant shall have the right to install signage in the lobby of the Building for the remainder of the Term of this Lease so long as such signage shall not be more than 80% as large as the Del Monte signage. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Scient Lease contains the following provision, which shall not be amended by Landlord without obtaining Tenant’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld: “If Tenant [Scient] at any time pursuant to the terms of this Article 17 [of the Scient Lease] either (a) subleases less than the entire Premises [Scient Premises] or (ii) subleases all of the Premises [Scient Premises] to a subtenant, other than Epicentric, whose “creditworthiness” is less than that of Epicentric, such subletting shall result in


- 32 -


Tenant’s [Scient’s] relinquishment for the balance of the Term of any rights to signage in the ground floor lobby of the Building as provided in Article 32 [of the Scient Lease]. For purposes of determining “creditworthiness” under this Section 17.10 [of the Scient Lease], the company with the greater net worth shall be considered the more creditworthy company. Net worth shall be determined according to the following formula: assets minus current and long term liabilities equals net worth, as determined according to generally accepted accounting principles.”


33. Miscellaneous.


33.1. No Joint Venture. This Lease does not create any partnership or joint venture or similar relationship between Landlord and Tenant.

33.4. Severability. If any provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or its application to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect, unless enforcement of this Lease as so invalidated would be unreasonable or grossly inequitable under the circumstances, or would frustrate the purposes of this Lease.


33.5. Entire Agreement: Amendments. This Lease, together with the Exhibits hereto and any Addenda identified on the Basic Lease Information, contains all the representations and the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior negotiations, correspondence, memoranda, agreements, representations or warranties are replaced in total by this Lease, the Exhibits hereto and such Addenda.

Unless provision is made for a specific time period, approval (or disapproval) shall be given within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request for approval. Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit the right of a party to act or exercise its business judgment in a subjective manner with respect to any matter as to which it has been (A) specifically granted such right, (B) granted the right to act in its sole discretion or sole judgment, or (C) granted the right to make a subjective judgment hereunder, whether “objectively” reasonable under the circumstances and any such exercise shall not be deemed inconsistent with any covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied by law to be part of this Lease. The parties have set forth in this Lease their entire understanding with respect to the terms, covenants, conditions and standards pursuant to which their obligations are to be judged and their performance measured, including the provisions of Article 17 with respect to assignments and sublettings.


33.9. Brokers. Scient Corporation is obligated to pay certain commissions to the brokers described on the Basic Lease information (and CB Richard Ellis) in connection with this transaction (collectively, the “Scient Brokers”). Pursuant to a separate agreement, Landlord shall reimburse Scient for a portion of such commissions.

Landlord and New SPE have entered into a lease dated October 26, 2000 (as the same may be renewed, amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Landlord-New SPE Lease”) pursuant to which Landlord is leasing the remaining improvements located in, on or around the Premises, together with the real property on which the Premises is located (collectively, the “Remaining Property”), to New SPE. The New SPE and Landlord have entered into a master lease/sublease dated October 26, 2000 (as the same may be renewed, amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Master Lease/Sublease”), pursuant to which New SPE is leasing the New Improvements to Landlord and subleasing the Remaining Property to Landlord. Based upon and solely in reliance upon the foregoing, Tenant hereby recognizes and acknowledges that its interest under the Lease and in the Premises is as a sublessee of Landlord’s interests under the Master Lease/Sublease. Tenant agrees that this Lease and all terms and conditions contained herein and all rights, options, and renewals created thereby are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all terms and conditions contained in each of the Landlord-New SPE Lease and the Master Lease/Sublease. The New SPE agrees that, upon any termination of the Master Lease/Sublease: (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between New SPE and Tenant, and subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and (b) New SPE shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease. Tenant agrees that, in the event of any termination of the Master Lease/Sublease, Tenant will attorn to and recognize New SPE as its landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised) upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay and perform all of the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Lease. Tenant agrees that upon any termination of both the Master Lease/Sublease and the New SPE Lease: (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Landlord and Tenant, and subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; and (b) Landlord shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease. Tenant hereby agrees to give to New SPE copies of all notices of Landlord default(s) under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice of default to Landlord,


- 35 -


and no such notice of default shall be deemed given to Landlord unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to New SPE. The New SPE shall have the right but no obligation to remedy any Landlord default under the Lease, or to cause any default of Landlord under the Lease to be remedied. Tenant shall accept performance by the New SPE of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. No Landlord default under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist as long as New SPE, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of default and shall be diligently prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to force majeure, and a cure is completed within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Neither SPE nor its designee or nominee shall become liable under the Lease unless and until New SPE or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which New SPE or its designee or nominee remains, the owner of any interest in the Premises. In no event shall New SPE have any personal liability as successor to Landlord. Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of New SPE in the Premises for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by New SPE as Landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets of New SPE shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to the Lease. New SPE shall have the right, without Tenant’s consent, but upon written notice to Tenant, to terminate the Master Lease/Sublease or to exercise any other remedies under the Master Lease/Sublease.

- 1 -


1.2. Effect of Certain Defined Terms. The parties acknowledge that the Rentable Area of the Premises and the Building have been finally determined by the parties as part of this Lease for all purposes, and will not, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, be changed.


2. Lease of Premises.


2.1. Premises. Landlord subleases to Tenant and Tenant subleases from Landlord the Premises, together with the non-exclusive right to use, in common with others, any public portions of the Building, all subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant acknowledges that the Premises and the Building do not include any lobbies, stairs, elevators, plazas, pedestrian walkways, or restrooms. All the windows and exterior walls of the Premises, the terraces adjacent to the Premises, if any, and any space in the Premises used for shafts, columns, projections, stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts, electric utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, and the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of management, operation, maintenance and repairs, are reserved to Landlord.


2.2. Sublease. This Lease is a sublease of a portion of the premises leased by Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease. This Lease is and at all times shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby expressly assumes and agrees to comply with all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Master Lease, to the extent applicable to Tenant or the Premises, and to perform all the obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the terms of the Master Lease or any rules or regulations promulgated by Master Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, to the extent applicable to the Premises. If any provision of this Lease requires the consent of Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to withhold such consent if Master Landlord’s consent is required under the Master Lease for the same item, and if Master Landlord denies such request for approval. In addition, if any action or omission to act by Tenant requires the consent of the Master Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, then Tenant shall have no right to take such action or omit to take such action without obtaining the consent of Master Landlord. Landlord shall have no right to amend the Master Lease in a manner that adversely affects the rights of Tenant under this Lease without obtaining the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the consent of the landlord under the Master Lease is not required in connection with the execution of this Lease.


2.3. Landmark Lease. This Lease shall automatically terminate upon a termination of the Landmark Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Landmark Lease terminates as a result of a casualty or condemnation, then this Lease shall simultaneously terminate. If the Landmark Lease terminates due to a default by Tenant, then Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for damages under this Lease as if Tenant had committed an event of default under this Lease.


3. Term; Condition and Acceptance of Premises.


3.1 Initial Term and Acceptance of Premises. Except as hereinafter provided, and unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, the Term of this Lease shall commence on the date of the full execution of this Lease and end on the Expiration Date. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant is accepting the Premises in their AS IS condition and that Landlord shall have absolutely no obligation to perform any construction or tenant improvement work in the Premises. Tenant hereby accepts possession of the Premises.


- 2 -


3.2 Option to Extend.


3.2.1. Exercise of Option to Extend Term. If no “Suspension Condition” (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of Tenant’s exercise of an option to extend the Term or at the commencement of the Extended Term, as the case may be, and if Tenant has timely and properly exercised the option to extend set forth in the Landmark Lease for the comparable extended term, Tenant shall have one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Initial Term until December 31, 2010 (the “Extended Term”). To exercise Tenant’s option with respect to the Extended Term, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord not earlier than eighteen (18) months prior and not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (“Election Notice”). A “Suspension Condition” shall mean the existence of any event or condition of default after the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure periods under either this Lease or the Landmark Lease.


3.2.2. Rent. If Tenant properly and timely exercises the Extension Option pursuant to Section 3.2.1 above, such Extended Term shall be upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall pay all leasing commissions and consulting fees payable in connection with such extensions, unless such leasing commissions or consulting fees arise solely out of a contractual relationship between Landlord and a broker or consultant. All other terms and conditions of the Lease, which may be amended from time to time by the parties in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply during the Extended Term, except that there shall be no further option to extend the Term beyond December 31, 2010.


4. Rent.


4.1. Obligation to Pay Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord, in advance, in equal annual installments, commencing on or before the Commencement Date, and thereafter on or before the first day of each calendar year during the Term. If the Commencement Date and/or Expiration Date is other than the first day of a calendar year, the installment of Base Rent for the first and/or last fractional year of the Term shall be prorated on a daily basis. On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the first year’s Base Rent. As additional rent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days of written notice from Landlord, all of the following sums payable by Landlord: (i) all sums payable by Landlord pursuant to Section IV(B) of the Master Lease with respect to the Premises, (ii) all sums payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 8.02(6) of the Master Lease, and (iii) all sums payable pursuant to Section 19.01 of the Master Lease as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises.


4.2. Manner of Rent Payment. All Rent shall be paid by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, payable to Landlord, at Landlord’s Address as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.


4.3. Additional Rent. All Rent not characterized as Base Rent or other payments required to be made under this Lease shall constitute additional rent, and if payable to Landlord shall, unless otherwise specified in this Lease, be due and payable fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor.


4.4. Late Payment of Rent; Interest. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain based on the facts and circumstances pertaining as of the Lease Date. Accordingly, if any Rent is not paid by Tenant when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with such Rent, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of such Rent; provided, however, that the following additional provisions shall apply to such late charge: (i) the first two late payments in any calendar year shall not result in any late charge payment unless such payment of


- 3 -


Rent is not received within one (1) business day after telephonic notice by Landlord to each of Tenant’s Vice President of Finance, Controller and Assistant Treasurer (or any person succeeding such person for whom notice has been provided to Landlord), and (ii) if there are more than three (3) late payments of Rent by Tenant in any calendar year, then the late charge for each subsequent late payment in such calendar year shall be five percent (5%). Any Rent, other than late charges, due Landlord under this Lease, if not paid when due, shall also bear interest from the date due until paid, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest rate legally permitted. The parties acknowledge that such late charge and interest represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative costs and loss of use of funds Landlord will incur by reason of a late Rent payment by Tenant, but Landlord’s acceptance of such late charge and/or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such Rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided under this Lease, at law or in equity.


5. Payment of Utilities. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord, the cost of all utilities provided by Landlord to the Premises during the Term.


6. Impositions Payable by Tenant. Tenant shall pay all Impositions prior to delinquency. If billed directly to Tenant, then, subject to Tenant’s right to contest such Impositions (upon the posting of a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), Tenant shall pay such Impositions and concurrently deliver to Landlord evidence of such payments. If any Impositions are billed to Landlord or included in bills to Landlord for real estate taxes or other charges, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such amounts within fifteen (15) days after delivery of Landlord’s invoice therefor. If applicable law prohibits Tenant from reimbursing Landlord for an Imposition, but Landlord may lawfully increase the Base Rent to account for Landlord’s payment of such Imposition, the Base Rent payable to Landlord shall be increased to net to Landlord the same return without reimbursement of such Imposition as would have been received by Landlord with reimbursement of such Imposition. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions which have accrued and remain unpaid upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


7. Use of Premises.


7.1. Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use and for no other use or purpose; provided, however, that Tenant shall only have the right to any use of the Premises so long as Tenant satisfies the following requirements: (i) Tenant obtains all required permits for such use; (ii) Tenant constructs at its sole cost and expense all improvements to the Roof Space required to be performed by Tenant; (iii) Tenant’s use of the roof does not violate any terms of existing roof warranties so long as such warranties do not prohibit the use of the roof for an outside terrace, (iv) Tenant pays to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of any increase in Landlord’s insurance expenses arising out of such use, and (v) Tenant fully complies with all of the terms of the Master Lease and all rules and regulations established by Master Landlord for the use of the Roof Space.


7.2. No Violation of Legal and Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done, or bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept, in or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Building, anything which (i) is prohibited by or will in any way conflict with any law, ordinance, rule or regulation; (ii) would invalidate or be in conflict with the provisions of any insurance policy carried by Landlord or Tenant on any portion of the Building or Premises, or any property therein; or (iii) would cause a cancellation of any such insurance, increase the existing rate of or affect any such Landlord’s insurance, or subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or property. If Tenant does or permits anything to be done which increases the cost of any of Landlord’s insurance, or which results in the need, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for additional insurance by Landlord or Tenant with respect to any portion of the Building or Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord,


- 4 -


upon demand, for any such additional costs or the costs of such additional insurance, and/or procure such additional insurance at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Exercise by Landlord of such right to require reimbursement of additional costs (including the costs of procuring of additional insurance) shall not limit or preclude Landlord from prohibiting Tenant’s impermissible use of the Premises or from invoking any other right or remedy available to Landlord under this Lease.


7.3. Compliance with Legal, Insurance and Life Safety Requirements. Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and other governmental requirements, the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body, any directive or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to any law by any public officer or officers, the provisions of all recorded documents affecting any portion of the Building and all life safety programs, procedures and rules implemented or promulgated by Landlord (“Laws”); provided, however, that if Tenant is unwilling to comply with any Laws, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord.


7.4. No Nuisance. Tenant shall not (i) do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Building, which would injure, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of, Landlord or other occupants of the Building, or others lawfully in or about the Building; (ii) use or allow the Premises to be used in any manner inappropriate for a Class A office building, or for any improper or objectionable purposes; or (iii) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Building.


7.5. Hazardous Substances. The term “hazardous substances” as used in the Lease, is defined as follows:


Any element, compound, mixture, solution, particle or substance, which presents danger or potential danger of damage or injury to health, welfare or to the environment including, but not limited to: (i) those substances which are inherently or potentially radioactive, explosive, ignitable, corrosive, reactive, carcinogenic or toxic and (ii) those substances which have been recognized as dangerous or potentially dangerous to health, welfare or to the environment by any federal, municipal, state, county or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency thereof.


Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord and agrees that at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions or renewals thereof, Tenant shall:


(i) promptly comply at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, with all laws, orders, rules, regulations, certificates of occupancy, or other requirements, as the same now exist or may hereafter be enacted, amended or promulgated, of any federal, municipal, state, county or other governmental or quasi-governmental authorities and/or any department or agency thereof relating to the manufacturing, processing, distributing, using, producing, treating, storing (above or below ground level), disposing or allowing to be present (the “Environmental Activity”) of hazardous substances in or about the Premises (each, an “Environmental Law”, and all of them, “Environmental Laws”), to the extent Tenant is responsible for the presence of such hazardous substances.


(ii) indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents and employees, harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, penalties, liabilities, judgments, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord as a result of (a) Tenant’s failure or delay in properly complying with any Environmental Law as required by item (i) above, or (b) any adverse effect


- 5 -


which results from the Environmental Activity, whether Tenant or Tenant’s subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or invitees, with or without Tenant’s consent has caused, either intentionally or unintentionally, such Environmental Activity. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its agents or employees by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, will defend such claim at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. This indemnity obligation by Tenant of Landlord will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


(iii) promptly disclose to Landlord by delivering, in the manner prescribed for delivery of notice in this Lease, a copy of any forms, submissions, notices, reports, or other written documentation (each, a “Communication”) relating to any Environmental Activity, whether any such Communication is delivered to Tenant or any of its subtenants or is requested of Tenant or any of its subtenants by any federal, municipal, state, county or other government or quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency thereof.


(iv) in the event there is a release of any hazardous substance as a result of or in connection with any Environmental Activity by Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or invitees, which must be remediated under any Environmental Law, Landlord shall perform the necessary remediation; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs thereby incurred within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a written demand therefor from Landlord (which shall be accompanied by reasonable substantiation of such costs). In the alternative, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, to perform the necessary remediation in accordance with a detailed plan of remediation which shall have been approved in advance in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives notice or obtains knowledge of the required remediation. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth in this subparagraph (iv) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


(v) notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, allow Landlord, and any authorized representative of Landlord, access and the right to enter and inspect the Premises for Environmental Activity, at any time deemed reasonable by Landlord, without prior notice to Tenant.


Compliance by Tenant with any provision of this Section 7.5 shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord’s consent to any Environmental Activity shall not relieve Tenant of its indemnity obligations under the terms hereof.


Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease Landlord has no actual knowledge of the presence of any hazardous substance in the Building in violation of any applicable Environmental Law, rules or ordinances, except as described in the Phase I and Phase II hazardous materials reports prepared by Geomatrix and delivered by Landlord to Tenant before the execution of this Lease. Landlord shall promptly disclose to Tenant by delivering, in the manner prescribed for delivery of notice in this Lease, a copy of any material Communication relating to any Environmental Activity from any federal, municipal, state, county or other government or quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency thereof to the extent such notice is required by Environmental Laws. Landlord shall comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Building to the extent such compliance is required of Landlord as owner of the Building.

17.5. Payment of Excess Rent and Other Consideration. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, promptly upon Tenant’s receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of any and all rent, sums or other consideration, howsoever denominated, realized by Tenant in connection with any assignment or sublease transaction in excess of the Base Rent payable hereunder (prorated to reflect the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises if a sublease), after first deducting, (i) in the case of an assignment, the unamortized actual out of pocket, third-party, costs of Alterations paid for by Tenant and actual out of pocket third party real estate commissions paid by Tenant solely in connection with such assignment, and (ii) in the case of a sublease, the actual out of pocket, third-party, cost of Alterations made to the Premises at Tenant’s cost to effect the sublease, and the actual amount of any real estate commissions paid by Tenant to a third party solely in connection with such sublease, both amortized over the term of the sublease.


17.6. Assumption of Obligations; Further Restrictions on Subletting. Each assignee shall, concurrently with any assignment, assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Each sublease shall be made subject to this Lease and all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein; and the surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, or the termination of this Lease in accordance with its terms, shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases. No sublessee (other than Landlord) shall have the right further to sublet more than one additional time, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however, that such sublessee shall have one right further to sublet subject to obtaining Landlord’s reasonable consent. Any assignment by a sublessee of its sublease shall be subject to Landlord’s prior consent in the same manner as a sublease by Tenant. No sublease, once consented to by Landlord, shall be modified without Landlord’s prior consent. No assignment or sublease shall be binding on Landlord unless the transferee delivers to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of the


- 15 -


assignment or sublease which contains the assumption by the assignee, or recognition by the sublessee, of the provisions of this Section 17.6, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, but the failure or refusal of a transferee to deliver such instrument shall not release or discharge such transferee from the provisions and obligations of this Section 17.6, but such failure shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s right to enter into a sublese or assignment shall be subject to the provisions of Article 8 of the Master Lease.


17.7. No Release. No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, whether arising before or after the assignment or sublease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article 17. On a default by any assignee of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of commencing or exhausting remedies against such assignee. No consent by Landlord to any further assignments or sublettings of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or termination of this Lease, or extension, waiver or modification of payment or any other obligations under this Lease, or any other action by Landlord with respect to any assignee or sublessee, or the insolvency, or bankruptcy or default of any such assignee or sublessee, shall affect the continuing liability of Tenant for its obligations under this Lease and Tenant waives any defense arising out of or based thereon, including any suretyship defense of exoneration. Landlord shall have no obligation to notify Tenant or obtain Tenant’s consent with respect to any of the foregoing matters.


17.8. No Encumbrance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 17, Tenant shall have no right to encumber, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any of Tenant’s interest or rights hereunder, as security for any obligation or liability of Tenant.


17.9 Assignment or Sublease to Related Entity. As long as no Suspension Condition then exists, and subject to the terms of the Master Lease, Tenant shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 17.9, without the consent of Landlord, but without in any way releasing Epicentric, Inc. from any of its obligations under this Lease, to (a) assign its interest in this Lease to (i) any corporation which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or consolidation, or (ii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed substantially all of Tenant’s liabilities), or (iii) to a corporation or other entity which shall control, be under the control of, or be under common control with Epicentric, Inc. (the term “control” as used herein shall be deemed to mean ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or other majority equity and control interest if Tenant is not a corporation) (any such entity being a “Related Entity”), or (b) sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a Related Entity, so long as such sublease does not result in the demising of any space in the Premises. Any assignment or sublease to a Related Entity pursuant to this Section 17.9 shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the principal purpose of such assignment or sublease is not the acquisition of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (except if such assignment or sublease is made to a Related Entity and is made for a valid intra-corporate business purpose and is not made to circumvent the provisions of this Article 17), (ii) any such assignee shall have a net worth and annual income and cash flow, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, after giving effect to such assignment, in amounts necessary to perform its duties, obligations and liabilities under such assignment, as reasonably determined by Landlord, (iii) such assignment or sublease shall be subject to the terms of this Lease, including the provisions of Sections 17.6 and 17.7, and (iv) such Related Entity shall have executed all documents reasonably requested by Landlord to memorialize the foregoing. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after execution thereof, deliver to Landlord (A) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant. (B) if applicable, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord establishing compliance by the assignee with the net worth, income and cash flow requirements of clause (b)(ii) above, (C) an instrument in form and


- 16 -


substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed or (D) a duplicate original sublease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant and subtenant.


18. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall cause its sublessees, employees, agents, contractors, licensees and invitees to observe and comply, with the Rules and Regulations of the Building, a copy of which are attached to this Lease as Exhibit D, and, after notice thereof, with all reasonable modifications and additions thereto from time to time promulgated in writing by Landlord and all of the rules and regulations established by Master Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant, or Tenant’s sublessees, employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees, for noncompliance with any Rules and Regulations of the Building by any other tenant, sublessee, employee, agent, contractor, licensee, invitee or other occupant of the Building. Such Rules and Regulations shall be enforced by Landlord in a non-discriminatory manner.


19. Entry of Premises by Landlord.


19.1. Right to Enter. Master Landlord shall have the right of entry into the Premises set forth in the Master Lease. In addition, upon 24 hours advance notice to Tenant (except in emergencies or in order to provide regularly scheduled or other routine Building standard services or additional services requested by Tenant, or post notices of nonresponsibility or other notices permitted or required by law when no such notice shall be required), Landlord and its authorized agents, employees, and contractors may enter the Premises at reasonable hours to: (i) inspect the same; (ii) determine Tenant’s compliance with its obligations hereunder; (iii) exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants; (iv) supply any services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; (v) post notices of nonresponsibility or other notices permitted or required by law; (vi) make repairs, improvements or alterations, or perform maintenance in or to, the Premises or any other portion of the Building, including Building systems; and (vii) perform such other functions as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. Landlord may also grant access to the Premises to government or utility representatives and bring and use on or about the Premises such equipment as reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of Landlord’s entry. Landlord shall use reasonable good faith efforts to effect all entries and perform all work hereunder in such manner as to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall have and retain keys with which to unlock all of the doors in or to the Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar secure areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, including secure areas.


19.2. Tenant Waiver of Claims. Except for damages to persons or property caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, Tenant waives any claim for damages for any inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, or any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or any other loss, occasioned by any entry effected or work performed under this Article 19, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent by reason of the exercise of any such right of entry or performance of such work. No entry to the Premises by Landlord or anyone acting under Landlord shall constitute a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion thereof.


- 17 -


20. Default and Remedies.


20.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease:


a. Nonpayment of Rent. Failure to pay any Rent when due.


b. Unpermitted Assignment. An assignment or sublease made in contravention of any of the provisions of Article 17 above.


c. Abandonment. Abandonment of the Premises for a continuous period in excess of five (5) business days. For purposes hereof, “abandonment” shall have the meaning provided under California law.


d. Other Obligations. Failure to perform or fulfill any other obligation, covenant, condition or agreement under this Lease.


e. Bankruptcy and Insolvency. A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, any action or proceeding commenced by Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act or under any other statute or regulation for protection from creditors, or any such action commenced against Tenant and not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of commencement; the employment or appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or the Premises; 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 ten (10) days after the levy thereof; the admission by Tenant in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or the filing by Tenant of a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, the filing by Tenant of an answer admitting or failing timely to contest a material allegation of a petition filed against Tenant in any such proceeding or, if within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any such proceeding against Tenant, such proceeding is not dismissed. For purposes of this Section 20.1(e), “Tenant” means Tenant and any partner of Tenant, if Tenant is a partnership, or any person or entity comprising Tenant, if Tenant is comprised of more than one person or entity, or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations, or any of them, under this Lease.


f. Landmark Lease. The occurrence of a default by Tenant under the Landmark Lease.


20.2. Notice to Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any default, Landlord shall give Tenant notice thereof. Such notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute; and giving of such notice in the manner required by Article 28 shall replace and satisfy any service-of-notice procedures set forth in any statute, including those required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute. If a time period is specified below for cure of such default, then Tenant may cure such default within such time period. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Tenant hereby waives any right under law now or hereinafter enacted to any other time period for cure of default.


a. Nonpayment of Rent. For failure to pay Rent, within five (5) days after Landlord’s notice.


b. Other Obligations. For failure to perform any obligation, covenant, condition or agreement under this Lease (other than nonpayment of Rent, an assignment or subletting in violation of Article 17 or Tenant’s abandonment of the Premises) within ten (10) days after Landlord’s notice or, if the failure is of a nature requiring more than 10 days to cure, then an additional sixty (60) days after the expiration of such 10-day period, but only if Tenant commences cure within such 10-day period and


- 18 -


thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion within such additional 60-day period. If Tenant has failed to perform any such obligation, covenant, condition or agreement more than two (2) times during the Term and notice of such event of default has been given by Landlord in each instance, then no cure period shall apply.


c. No Cure Period. No cure period shall apply for any other event of default specified in Section 20.1.


20.3. Remedies Upon Occurrence of Default. On the occurrence of a default which Tenant fails to cure after notice and expiration of the time period for cure, if any, specified in Section 20.2 above, Landlord shall have the right either (i) to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises, or (ii) to continue this Lease in effect and enforce all Landlord’s rights and remedies under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (by which Landlord may recover Rent as it becomes due, subject to Tenant’s right to assign pursuant to Article 17). Landlord may store any property of Tenant located in the Premises at Tenant’s expense or otherwise dispose of such property in the manner provided by law. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Tenant shall in addition to continuing to pay all Rent when due, also pay Landlord’s costs of attempting to relet the Premises, any repairs and alterations necessary to prepare the Premises for such reletting, and brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, less the rents, if any, actually received from such reletting. Notwithstanding Landlord’s election to continue this Lease in effect, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 20.3.


20.4. Damages Upon Termination. If and when Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to Section 20.3, Landlord may exercise all its rights and remedies available under California Civil Code Section 1951.2, including the right to recover from Tenant 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 have been reasonably avoided. As used herein and in Civil Code Section 1951.2, “time of award” means either the date upon which Tenant pays to Landlord the amount recoverable by Landlord, or the date of entry of any determination, order or judgment of any court or other legally constituted body determining the amount recoverable, whichever occurs first.


20.5. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.


20.6. Right to Cure Defaults. If Tenant fails to pay Rent (other than Base Rent) required to be paid by it hereunder, or fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease, and Tenant fails to cure such default within the applicable cure period, if any, specified in Section 20.2 above, then Landlord may, without waiving any of Landlord’s rights in connection therewith or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations or such default, make any such payment or perform such other obligation on behalf of Tenant. Prior to commencing such payment or performing such obligation on behalf of Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant of its intentions to do so. All payments so made by Landlord, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to perform such obligations, shall be due and payable by Tenant as Rent immediately upon receipt of Landlord’s demand therefor. If Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Tenant (provided Landlord shall have a longer time if reasonably necessary if Landlord commences cure within such fifteen (15) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion) and such failure materially and adversely affects Tenant’s use of the Premises, then Tenant shall give Landlord an additional three (3) business days prior notice. If Landlord has not commenced performance of its obligation within such three (3) business day period, Tenant shall have the right to perform such obligation on Landlord’s behalf, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost thereof within thirty (30) days after presentation of a reasonably detailed invoice demonstrating the expenses incurred by Tenant. In the event Tenant makes any repairs to the Premises on Landlord’s behalf pursuant to this Section 20.6, Tenant shall be responsible for damages or


- 19 -


injuries caused by Tenant or its employees, contractors and subcontractors in making such repairs or any defect therein and shall indemnify Landlord against any liability, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of such repair or any defect in the work performed.


20.7. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity. Landlord’s pursuit of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other right or remedy.


21. Subordination, Attornment and Nondisturbance.


21.1. Subordination and Attornment. This Lease and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder shall be subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, and the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or any other security instrument now or hereafter affecting or encumbering the Building, or any part thereof or interest therein, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof or Landlord’s interest therein, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (an “encumbrance”, the holder of the beneficial interest thereunder being referred to as an “encumbrancer”). An encumbrancer may, however, subordinate its encumbrance to this Lease, and if an encumbrancer so elects by notice to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such encumbrance. If any encumbrance to which this Lease is subordinate is foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the encumbrancer thereunder, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure; and if any encumbrance consisting of a ground lease or underlying lease to which this Lease is subordinate is terminated, Tenant shall attorn to the lessor thereof. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver in the form requested by Landlord or any encumbrancer, any documents required to evidence or effectuate the subordination hereunder, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any encumbrance, or to evidence such attornment.


21.2. Nondisturbance. If any encumbrance to which this Lease is subordinate is foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the encumbrancer thereunder, or if any encumbrance consisting of a ground lease or underlying lease to which this Lease is subordinate is terminated, this Lease shall not terminate, and the rights and possession of Tenant under this Lease shall not be disturbed if (i) no default by Tenant then exists under this Lease; (ii) Tenant attorns to the purchaser, grantee, or successor lessor as provided in Section 21.1 above or, if requested, enters into a new lease for the balance of the Term upon the same terms and provisions contained in this Lease; and (iii) Tenant enters into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such encumbrancer with respect to subordination, attornment and non-disturbance.


22. Sale or Transfer by Landlord; Lease Non-Recourse.


22.1. Release of Landlord on Transfer. Landlord may at any time transfer, in whole or in part, its right, title and interest under this Lease and in the Building, or any portion thereof. If the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor to such original Landlord, transfers (by sale, assignment or otherwise) its right, title or interest in the Building, all liabilities and obligations of the original Landlord or such successor under this Lease accruing after such transfer shall terminate, the original Landlord or such successor shall automatically be released therefrom, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant shall attorn to each such new owner.


22.2. Lease Nonrecourse to Landlord. Landlord shall in no event be personally liable under this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building, for recovery of any damages for breach of this Lease by Landlord or on any judgment in connection therewith. None of the persons or entities comprising or representing Landlord (whether partners, shareholders, officers,


- 20 -


directors, trustees, employees, beneficiaries, agents or otherwise) shall ever be personally liable under this Lease or liable for any such damages or judgment and Tenant shall have no right to effect any levy of execution against any assets of such persons or entities on account of any such liability or judgment. Any lien obtained by Tenant to enforce any such judgment, and any levy of execution thereon, shall be subject and subordinate to all encumbrances as specified in Article 21 above.


23. Estoppel Certificate.


23.1. Procedure and Content. From time to time, and within ten (10) days after written notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a certificate as specified by Landlord certifying: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and identifying each modification); (ii) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date; (iii) that Tenant has accepted the Premises (or the reasons Tenant has not accepted the Premises), and if Landlord has agreed to make any alterations or improvements to the Premises, that Landlord has properly completed such alterations or improvements (or the reasons why Landlord has not done so); (iv) the amount of the Base Rent and the date to which such Rent has been paid; (v) that Tenant has not committed any event of default, except as to any events of default specified in the certificate, and whether there are any existing defenses against the enforcement of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (vi) that no default of Landlord is claimed by Tenant, except as to any defaults specified in the certificate; and (vii) such other matters as may reasonably be requested by Landlord.


23.2. Effect of Certificate. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of any part or interest in the Building or encumbrancer (as defined in Section 21.1) and, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver such certificate to Landlord and/or to any such entity and shall agree to such notice and cure provisions and such other matters as such entity may reasonably require. In addition, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide to Landlord for delivery to any such entity such information, including financial information, that may reasonably be requested by any such entity. Any such certificate shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of any claims Tenant may have in contravention to the information contained in such certificate and Tenant shall be estopped from asserting any such claim. If Tenant fails or refuses to give a certificate hereunder within the time period herein specified, Landlord shall have the right to treat such failure or refusal as a default by Tenant.


23.3 Landlord’s Estoppel Certificate. If Tenant is required by an unaffiliated third party to produce an estoppel certificate, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s request, execute and deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificate in favor of Tenant and such other persons as Tenant shall reasonably request, setting forth the following: (a) the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date; (b) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (c) that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Tenant have, to Landlord’s knowledge, been satisfied, or, in the alternative, those claimed by Landlord to be unsatisfied; (d) that, to Landlord’s knowledge, no defenses or offsets exist against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord, or in the alternative, those claimed by Landlord; (e) that the amount of advance Rent, if any (or none if such is the case), has been paid by Tenant; (f) the date to which rent has been paid; and (g) such other information as Tenant may reasonably request.


24. No Light, Air, or View Easement. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed, either expressly or by implication, to create any easement for light and air or access to any view. Any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view to or from the Premises by any structure which now exists or which may hereafter be erected, whether by Landlord or any other person, shall in no way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent, or impose any liability on Landlord.


- 21 -


25. Holding Over. No holding over by Tenant shall operate to extend the Term. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing, then (i) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent shall be increased to equal 150% of the Base Rent then in effect; (ii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord, and any tenant to whom Landlord has leased all or part of the Premises, from any and all liability, loss, damages, costs or expense (including loss of Rent to Landlord or additional rent payable by such tenant and reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by either Landlord or such tenant resulting from Tenant’s failure timely to vacate the Premises; and (iii) such holding over by Tenant shall constitute a default by Tenant.


26. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.


27. Waiver. Failure of Landlord to declare a default by Tenant upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare such default at any time after its occurrence. To be effective, a waiver of any provision of this Lease, or any default, shall be in writing and signed by the waiving party. Any waiver hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of subsequent performance of any such provision or subsequent defaults. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder, or endorsement of any check by Landlord, shall not be deemed to constitute an accord and satisfaction or a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant, except as to the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding default at the time of acceptance of the Rent. No course of conduct between Landlord and Tenant, and no acceptance of the keys to or possession of the Premises by Landlord before the Expiration Date shall constitute a waiver of any provision of this Lease or of any default, or operate as a surrender of this Lease.


28. Notices and Consents: Tenant’s Agent for Service. All notices, approvals, consents, demands and other communications from one party to the other given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be made by personal delivery, by use of a reputable overnight courier service or by deposit in the United States mail, certified, registered or Express, postage prepaid and return receipt requested. Notices shall be addressed if to Landlord, to Landlord’s Address, and if to Tenant, to Tenant’s Address. Landlord and Tenant may each change their respective Addresses from time to time by giving written notice to the other of such change in accordance with the terms of this Article 28, at least ten (10) days before such change is to be effected. Any notice given in accordance with this Article 28 shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date of personal delivery or (ii) on the earlier of the date of delivery or attempted delivery (as shown by the return receipt or other delivery record) if sent by courier service or mailed.


29. Tenant’s Authority. Tenant, and each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant, represent and warrant that (i) Tenant is a duly formed, authorized and existing corporation, partnership or trust (as the case may be), (ii) Tenant is qualified to do business in California, (iii) Tenant has the full right and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and (iv) each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Landlord’s request, such reasonable written assurances authorizing Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease.


30. Automobile Parking. There shall be no parking provided to Tenant in the Building or at any other location.


31. Tenant to Furnish Financial Statements. In order to induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Landlord, from time to time, upon Landlord’s written request, financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of income and expenses on an


- 22 -


annualized basis) reflecting Tenant’s then current financial condition; provided, however, that so long as Tenant is a company publicly traded on The New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, then Tenant shall only be obligated to provide to Landlord financial statements that are generally available to the public. Such statements shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s request. Tenant represents and warrants that all financial statements, records, and information furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease are and shall be true, correct and complete in all respects. So long as such financial information is not generally available to the public, Landlord shall (i) use such information only for the purposes described in this Agreement, (ii) keep such information confidential, and (iii) only disclose such information to Landlord’s attorneys, accountants, partners, lenders, investors, prospective purchasers, employees and other persons with a need to know who are subject to these same confidentiality restrictions.


32. Tenant’s Signs. Without Landlord’s prior consent, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion, Tenant shall not place on the Premises or on the Building any exterior signs nor any interior signs that are visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses relating to any such sign approved by Landlord, including without limitation, the cost of the installation and maintenance of the sign. On the date of expiration of earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all signs and repair any damage caused by such removal.


33. Miscellaneous.


33.1. No Joint Venture. This Lease does not create any partnership or joint venture or similar relationship between Landlord and Tenant.


33.2. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Article 17 regarding assignment, all of the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.


33.3. Construction and Interpretation. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” include the plural as well as the singular. If there is more than one person comprising Tenant, the obligations under this Lease imposed on Tenant are joint and several. References to a party or parties refers to Landlord or Tenant, or both, as the context may require. The captions preceding the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Lease are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall have no effect upon, and shall be disregarded in connection with, the construction and interpretation of this Lease. Use in this Lease of the words “including”, “such as”, or words of similar import when following a general matter, shall not be construed to limit such matter to the enumerated items or matters whether or not language of nonlimitation (such as “without limitation”) is used with reference thereto. All provisions of this Lease have been negotiated at arm’s length between the parties and after advice by counsel and other representatives chosen by each party and the parties are fully informed with respect thereto. Therefore, this Lease shall not be construed for or against either party by reason of the authorship or alleged authorship of any provision hereof, or by reason of the status of the parties as Landlord or Tenant, and the provisions of this Lease and the Exhibits hereto shall be construed as a whole according to their common meaning in order to effectuate the intent of the parties under the terms of this Lease.


33.4. Severability. If any provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or its application to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect, unless enforcement of this Lease as so invalidated would be unreasonable or grossly inequitable under the circumstances, or would frustrate the purposes of this Lease.


- 23 -


33.5. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Lease, together with the Exhibits hereto and any Addenda identified on the Basic Lease Information, contains all the representations and the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior negotiations, correspondence, memoranda, agreements, representations or warranties are replaced in total by this Lease, the Exhibits hereto and such Addenda. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents have made any warranties or representations with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Building, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. This Lease may be modified or amended only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.


33.6. Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California.


33.7. Litigation Expenses. If either party brings any action or proceeding against the other (including any cross-complaint, counterclaim or third party claim) to enforce or interpret this Lease or otherwise arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to its costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and accountants’ fees.


33.8. Standards of Performance and Approvals.

- 1 -


Sublease directly to Landlord. Landlord shall credit Sublessor with any rent received by Landlord under such assignment but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the Sublessee as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the Sublessee to Landlord, or serve to release Sublessor from liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements under the Lease.


4. Both Sublessor and Sublessee shall be and continue to be liable for the payment of all costs properly chargeable by Landlord under the Lease for services and materials supplied to the Subleased Premises.

7. Sublessor and Sublessee covenant and agree that, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for any brokerage commission or other charge or expense in connection with the Sublease, and Sublessor and Sublessee agree to indemnify Landlord against same and against any cost or expense (including but not limited to counsel fees) incurred by Landlord in resisting any claim for any such brokerage commission.


8. Sublessor and Sublessee understand and acknowledge that Landlord’s consent hereto is not a consent to any improvement or alteration work being performed in Subleased Premises, that Landlord’s consent must be separately sought for such work.


9. This Consent shall for all purposes be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California.


10. This Consent shall not be effective until executed by all the parties hereto.


11. If any one of more of the provisions contained in this Consent shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Consent shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


12. Concurrent with the execution of this Consent, Sublessor shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to $1,437.50, representing Landlord’s attorneys fees and costs incurred in connection with the review of the Sublease and the preparation of this Consent.


13. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured under all insurance required to be carried by Sublessee pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Sublease, and Sublessee shall furnish Landlord with a certificate of insurance before the commencement of the term of the Sublease.


- 2 -
