Provided and on the condition that no Event of Default has

SECTION 6. RENT.
(a) During the first two (2) years of the Primary Term, the Annual
Base Rental payable to Landlord shall be $2,505,720.00, payable monthly in
advance in twelve (12) equal installments, one (1) such installment to be
payable on the first day of each month during the first two (2) years of the

market area as of the end of the second (2nd) year of the Primary Term (the
"ADJUSTMENT DATE"). At least one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of
the second (2nd) year of the Primary Term, Tenant shall institute the Appraisal
Process (as hereinafter defined) to establish the Market Rate Rental for the
final three (3) years of the Primary Term. If the determination of the Market
Rental Rate is made after the start of the third (3rd) year of the Primary
Term, Tenant shall continue to pay rent at the rate applicable to the preceding
period until the Market Rental Rate is determined. Tenant shall, promptly
after the Market Rental Rate is determined, pay any difference for the period
affected by the adjustment. The Market Rental Rate shall be payable monthly in
advance in twelve (12) equal installments, one (1) such installment to be
payable on the first day of each month during the final three (3) years of the
Primary Term. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event shall the Annual Base
Rental for the last three (3) years of the Primary Term be less than the rental
called for in Section 6(a) nor more than 1.2 times the rental called for in
Section 6(a).
(c) During the Renewal Term, the Annual Base Rental payable to
Landlord shall be an amount equal to the then prevailing market rate ("RENEWAL
RENTAL RATE") in the immediate Alameda County market area as of the
commencement of the Renewal Term. At least one-hundred twenty (120) days prior
to the end of the Primary Term, Tenant shall institute the Appraisal Process to
establish the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term. The Adjustment Date
for determining the Renewal Rental Rate shall be the Primary Term Ending Date.
If the determination of the Renewal Rental Rate is made after the start of the
Renewal Term, Tenant shall continue to pay rent at the rate applicable to the
preceding period until the Renewal Rental Rate is determined. Tenant shall,
promptly after the Renewal Rental Rate is determined, pay any difference for
the period affected by the adjustment. The Renewal Rental Rate shall be
payable
3
4
monthly in advance in twelve (12) equal installments, one (1) such installment
to be payable on the first day of each month during the Renewal Term.
(d) The "Appraisal Process" is begun by Tenant's designation of an
appraiser (the "FIRST APPRAISER") to determine the Market Rental Rate or the
Renewal Rental Rate, as the case may be (collectively, the "APPRAISED RATE") of
the Demised Premises. The First Appraiser shall make and deliver to Tenant and
Landlord an appraisal of the Demised Premises Appraised Rate (the "FIRST
APPRAISED RATE") within twenty (20) business days of its appointment. At the
election of Landlord, an appraiser (the "SECOND APPRAISER") shall be appointed
within seven (7) days following delivery of the First Appraised Rate. The
Second Appraiser shall make and deliver to Tenant and Landlord a second
appraisal of the Demised Premises Appraised Rate (the "SECOND APPRAISED RATE")
within twenty (20) business days of its appointment. In the event that the
First Appraised Rate and the Second Appraised Rate do not differ by more than
ten percent (10%) of the lower value, the average of the First Appraised Rate
and Second Appraised Rate shall be deemed to be the Market Rental Rate or the
Renewal Rental Rate, as the case may be. In the event that the First Appraised
Rate and the Second Appraised Rate differ by more than ten percent (10%) of the
lower value, the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser shall, within seven
(7) days following the delivery of the Second Appraised Rate, appoint a third
appraiser (the "THIRD APPRAISER"" and together with the First Appraiser and the
Second Appraiser, the "APPRAISERS"), who shall deliver to Tenant and Landlord
an appraisal of the Demised Premises Appraised Rate (the "THIRD APPRAISED
RATE") within fifteen (15) business days following its appointment by the First
Appraiser and the Second Appraiser. The one, if any, of the First Appraised
Rate, the Second Appraised Rate or the Third Appraised Rate which differs the
most from the other two shall not be considered, and the average of the two
remaining values shall be the Market Rental Rate or the Renewal Rental Rate, as
the case may be. Each of the Appraisers shall make their respective appraisals
as of the Adjustment Date. Each appraisal shall reflect the gross fair market
rental value of the Demised Premises. The Appraisers shall be disinterested,
independent and shall be qualified to appraise premises of the nature of the
Demised Premises, and such Appraisers shall have been actively engaged in the
appraisal of premises of the nature of the Demised Premises for a period of not
less than five (5) years immediately preceding their appointment under this
Amendment. The expenses and fees, including without limitation the fees of the
Appraisers and any legal and accounting fees, incurred in connection with the
appraisal(s) conducted pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall be shared equally by
Tenant and Landlord.
(e) The determination of "gross fair market rental value" shall be
the reasonable good faith estimate of the market rental rate per square foot of
the Demised Premises for office type rental space of comparable size, age,
location and quality.

SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL RENT AND IMPOSITIONS.
In addition, during the Primary Term and the Renewal Term, Tenant
shall pay all other rent and other amounts due under the Lease, including
without limitation, additional rent and other charges described in Article 3 of
the Lease and the Impositions described under Article 4 of the Lease.
SECTION 8. RIGHT TO SUBLEASE.
Article 10 of the Lease is amended by adding the following Section
10.05:
Section 10.05. In the event Landlord consents to a
sublease of any portion of the Demised Premises, which consent
Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant agrees
that if the rental rate agreed upon between Tenant and its
proposed sublessee is greater than the rental rate for such
allocable portion of the Demised Premises that Tenant must pay to
Landlord under this Amendment, all of such excess rent shall be
considered additional rent owed by Tenant to Landlord (less
brokerage commissions, attorneys' fees and other disbursements
reasonably incurred by Tenant for such subletting) and shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord as, if, and when received from such
sublessee in the same manner that Tenant pays Annual Base Rental.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING EFFECT/DEFINED TERMS.
Except as expressly modified herein, the Lease shall continue in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms. All defined terms used
herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as set
forth in the Lease.
Section 10. Effectiveness.
This Amendment does not become effective as an amendment to the
Lease until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.
The undersigned parties have executed this Amendment as of the day
and year first above written.
