4.2 ANNUAL INCREASE OF BASIC RENT: Commencing on the first day of
the thirteenth (13th) calendar month immediately following the Commencement

(37th), forty-ninth (49th), sixty-first (61st), seventy-second (72nd), etc.,
months following the Commencement Date or, if the Commencement Date is the first
day of a calendar month, on each anniversary of the Commencement Date

(ii) Each estimate of total annual Excess Direct
Operating Expenses Rent determined by Landlord pursuant to this Section, shall
be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord such monthly installment of Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent with
each monthly payment of Basic Rent pursuant to Section 4.1 above. In the event
the estimated amount of Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent has not yet been
determined for any lease year, Tenant shall pay the monthly installment in the
estimated amount determined for the preceding lease year until the estimate for
the current lease year has been provided to Tenant, at which time Tenant shall,
within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice pay to Landlord any
existing shortfall and, thereafter, make the monthly installment payment in
accordance with the current estimate;
(iii) As soon as reasonably possible following the
end of each lease year of the term including the end of any initial particular
lease year, Landlord shall determine and provide to Tenant a statement of the
amount of Direct Operating Expenses actually incurred (except in the event that
the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, in which case the
Direct Operating Expenses shall be computed as though the Building had been
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied) and the amount of Excess Direct Operating
Expenses Rent payable by Tenant with respect to such lease year. In the event
the amount of such Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent exceeds the sum of the
monthly installments actually paid by Tenant, pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii)
above, for such lease year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the first day of
the calendar month immediately following receipt of such statement, the
difference. In the event the sum of such installments exceeds the amount of
Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent actually due and owing, the difference
shall be applied as a credit to Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent payable by
Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii). In no event shall the adjustment of
Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent decrease the amount of Basic Rent due and
payable to Landlord under this Lease.
(b) For purposes of this Section, the following terms
shall have the following prescribed meanings:
(i) The term "Building" means the Building as
defined in Article 2, and the parking areas and other structures servicing the
Building, and the Property upon which the Building and parking area such other
structures are located.
(ii) The term "Direct Operating Expenses" as used
herein means all operating costs and expenses associated with the operation and
maintenance of the Building, exterior landscaping for the Building and such
additional facilities relating to operations of the Property as are now in use

(4) Costs of all reasonable maintenance and
service agreements for the Building, and equipment therein, including, but not
limited to, common area utility and maintenance charges (including, but not
limited to, assessments or contributions to maintenance associations or special
benefit districts); security and energy management services; window cleaning;
road, sidewalk, driveways and parking facility maintenance or cleaning; elevator

responsible for any costs associated with its specialized equipment or other
improvements not provided in Landlord's Tenant Improvement Allowance including,
but not limited to, any service maintenance or repair costs.
(5) Cost of all insurance relating to the
Building/Property, including the cost of casualty and liability insurance
applicable to the Building together with Landlord's personal property used in
connection therewith. Landlord agrees to commercially insure the
Building/Property with a reputable insurance company at industry acceptable

(8) The costs of any additional services not
provided to the Building at the Commencement Date but thereafter provided by
Landlord in prudent management of the Building or at the direction of or
resulting from statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated
by any governmental authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the
Building that was not applicable when such improvements were originally
constructed.
(9) The costs of any capital improvements or
alterations made to the Building after the Commencement Date that reduce other
operating expenses or are required at the direction of or resulting from,
statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any
governmental authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building
that were not applicable when such improvements were originally constructed,
such cost thereof to be amortized over such reasonable period, i.e., generally
acceptable accounting practices, as Landlord shall determine, together with
interest on the unamortized balance at the actual rate paid by Landlord on funds
borrowed for the purpose of constructing said capital improvements plus any
financing costs.
(10) All taxes and assessments levied on the
Building (including, without limitation, the land upon which it is located),
including, but not limited to, real property taxes and assessments, and personal
property taxes and assessments on all personal property of Landlord used in
connection with the maintenance and operation of the Building and the reasonable
costs incurred by Landlord in contesting, in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings the amount or validity of any such tax or assessment.
(iii) The term "Excess Direct Operating Expenses"
shall mean the amount, if any, that Direct Operating Expenses paid or incurred
by Landlord during a lease year, exceeds the Initial Direct Operating Expenses.
4.4 ADDITIONAL RENT: Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional
rent ("Additional Rent") and without notice, abatement, deduction or set off,
all sums, costs and expenses which Tenant, in any of the provisions of this
Lease, or through a separate agreement relating to the Premises and/or the
Building, assumes or agrees to pay, including, but not limited to, tenant
improvement work, whether or not any of such sums, costs and expenses are
specifically described in Additional Rent. In the event of any nonpayment of
Additional Rent when required under this Lease, the Landlord shall have (in
addition to all other rights and remedies) all the rights and remedies provided
herein or by law in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent and Excess Direct
Operating Expenses Rent. All references in this Lease to Rent shall mean and
collectively refer to Basic Rent, Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent and
Additional Rent
4.5 LATE CHARGES: Tenant's failure to pay Rent promptly on the
first day of each month may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs, the
exact amount of which are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and
late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or
trust deed encumbering the Building. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any
Rent payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of the overdue amount. The
parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.
4.6 INTEREST: Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not
paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum
from the due date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late
charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such
amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the
interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law,
the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate
permitted by law.
4.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT: Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately
upon execution of this Lease, the Security Deposit, which shall be held by
Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during
the Term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of the Lease,
including but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent,
Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part
of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default,
or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become
obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for
any other loss or damage which landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's
default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant
shall, upon demand therefor, deposit with Landlord cash, in an amount sufficient
to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant's failure to
do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required
to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall
not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and
faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the
Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at
Landlord's option to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within
thirty (30) days following expiration of the Term, provided that Landlord may
retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in
accordance hereof has been determined paid in full.

reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time with
respect to the Building. A copy of the rules and regulations in existence on the

right to amend the rules and regulations at any time by giving notice of
amendment to Tenant, if Landlord determines such amendments to be in the best
interest of the Building and its tenants.
With respect to any floor of the Building that is entirely leased by
Tenant, including initially the third floor, Tenant shall be responsible for
ensuring, at its sole cost and expense, that all areas within such floor
(including restroom and lobby areas) comply with all applicable laws. Landlord
shall be responsible for ensuring that any common areas within the Building
other than on floors that are entirely leased to Tenant comply with all
applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely
responsible for all costs relating to compliance with legal requirements to the
extent triggered, caused or made applicable by any alteration, addition or
improvement made by Tenant
5.3 INSURANCE USE REQUIREMENTS: Tenant shall neither use nor
occupy the Premises in any manner, nor commit or omit any act, which would

pertaining to use of the Premises and any other requirement which are reasonably
necessary for the maintenance of economic and proper fire, liability and other

ARTICLE 6. IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PREMISES
6.1 LANDLORD'S WORK: INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
6.2 TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements to the Premises beyond that
supplied as part of Landlord's Work, including, but not limited to, closures,
ceilings, partitions, air conditioning components within the Premises, window
coverings, carpet, lighting fixtures, electric systems, fire detection systems
and, if required by Tenant's plans and specifications, modifications to the fire
sprinkler system shall be made by or at the direction of Landlord pursuant to
plans and specifications to be approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant
("Tenant Improvements"). The Tenant Improvements and the responsibility for
preparation of plans and specifications required to construct the same are
described in the Work Letter Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit C. Landlord
shall have complete and absolute discretion to select such persons and companies
as it reasonably deems proper for designing, constructing or supplying all
Tenant Improvements. By accepting occupancy of the Premises, Tenant acknowledges
completion of all improvements constituting the Premises, including, but not
limited to, Tenant Improvements and Landlord's Work.
6.3 PAYMENT FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Landlord shall pay, pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Work Letter Agreement, the cost and expense
of Tenant Improvements in an amount not to exceed the Tenant Improvement
Allowance. The cost and expense of any Tenant Improvements in excess of the

provisions of the Work Letter Agreement.
6.4 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: The Tenant Improvements shall be
completed on or before the Estimated Completion Date. Landlord shall endeavor to
give Tenant minimum thirty (30) day notice of the Estimated Completion Date. In
the event that the Tenant Improvements are not completed on or before the

employees, shall not be liable or responsible for any damages or liabilities in
connection therewith incurred by Tenant as a result thereof, nor shall the
obligations of Tenant provided herein be excused by reason of any such delay,
except that the failure to complete construction of the Tenant's Improvements on
the Estimated Completion Date is due solely to the unexcused actions of Landlord
hereunder, then, in such event, Tenant's sole remedy and right shall be to delay
the Commencement Date by the number of days that completion of construction of
the Tenant Improvements were delayed solely by the unexcused actions of
Landlord, but in no event shall the Commencement Date be later than the date on

commences business operations at the Premises or part thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Landlord has not completed construction of the Tenant
Improvements and tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant within one
hundred fifty (150) days from the Estimated Completion Date, and such delay was
not the result of either (i) delays caused by force majeure or (ii) act or
omission of Tenant or anyone for whom Tenant is responsible, then Tenant may, at
its option, by notice in writing to Landlord given within thirty (30) days
thereafter, cancel this Lease. If Tenant cancels this Lease in accordance with
the foregoing, the Landlord shall return to Tenant, without interest, the first
installment of Basic Rent, paid pursuant to Section 4.1 above, plus the Security
Deposit (if previously deposited by Tenant) and the parties shall be discharged
from any and all obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Commencement Date shall be the date when Landlord would otherwise have been able
to tender possession of the Premises or complete construction thereof except for
the delay which was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or anyone for whom
Tenant is responsible, even though (i) Tenant may not, in fact, occupy the
Premises on such date; (ii) the Tenant Improvements were not, in fact, completed
on the Estimated Completion Date, and (iii) Landlord actually completes the
Tenant Improvements after the Estimated Completion Date and delivers possession
of the Premises after the Commencement Date. See Work Letter Section 5.
6.5 EARLY OCCUPANCY: Provided Landlord gives Tenant a minimum
thirty (30) days prior notice and if Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall be subject to all of
the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Premises shall not advance
the Termination Date of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other
charges specified in this Lease for the early occupancy period.
ARTICLE 7. MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND ALTERATION OF PREMISES
7.1 MAINTENANCE: Subject to Article 6 and Work Letter Agreement,
by taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted
the Premises as being in good, sanitary order, condition, and repair except for
punch list items. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep and
maintain the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. Except as specifically provided in Section 6.1
of this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel,
improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof, and the
parties hereto affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant
respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building.
7.2 REPAIRS: Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1 above,
Landlord shall repair and maintain the structure portions, structural walls,
utilities underground, sewer, roof structure, foundation and sub-flooring of the
Building unless such maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by
the act, neglect, fault, or omission of any duty by the Tenant, its agents,
servants, employees, contractors, licensees or invites, in which case Tenant
shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord
shall not be liable for any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless
such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the
need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as
provided in Article 13 hereof, there shall be no abatement of any item of Rent
and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with
Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, or
improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to
fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein. Tenant waives the right to make
repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute, or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect.
7.3 ALTERATIONS: Subject to the removal/nonremoval qualifications
stated in Section 7.5, Tenant shall not make any alteration, addition, or
improvement to the Premises (whether structural or nonstructural) without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant may, with notice to Landlord, make nonstructural
modifications/alterations (to exclude, but not be limited to, base building,
electrical, power, sewer, roof, etc.) if Tenant's expenditure per occurrence is
less than $5,000.00 cumulative. In the event Landlord gives its consent, such
consent may be conditioned upon the requirement that Tenant (i) supply to
Landlord, plans and specifications which must be approved by Landlord in writing
prior to commencement of any work; and (ii) provide, prior to the commencement
of any work, a lien free completion bond in the form and amount satisfactory to
Landlord. Any alteration, addition, or improvement for which Landlord gives its
written consent shall be accomplished by Tenant in a good and workmanlike
manner; in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations and by a
contractor approved by Landlord. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord "as-built" plans, copies, and proof of payment of all labor
and materials. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for such labor and
materials and shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice of
the commencement of any such work. Landlord may enter upon the Premises, in such
case, for the purpose of posting appropriate notices, including, but not limited
to, notices of non-responsibility. Any Tenant alterations which cause or trigger
an increase in Landlord's tax assessment shall be incrementally passed directly
through to Tenant. Further, the tax increase shall not be computed in
calculating the Initial Base Operating Expenses per Article 1.5 or as provided.
See Addendum Paragraph 6 for other requirements.

7.4 LIENS: Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred
by or for Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days
following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of
record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition
to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the
obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem
proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such
lien. All sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith shall create automatically an obligation of Tenant to pay an
equivalent amount as additional rent, which additional rent shall be payable by
Tenant on Landlord's demand with interest at the maximum rate per annum
permitted by law until paid.
7.5 CONDITION ON TERMINATION: Upon the expiration, or sooner
termination, of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord,
broom clean, and in the same condition as received, except for ordinary wear and
tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy, under any provision of
this Lease. Except for the improvements constructed pursuant to Article 6
hereof, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or
improvements made by Tenant prior to the termination of the Lease and to restore
the Premises to its prior condition (i.e., the condition as of the Commencement
Date), all at Tenant's expense. All alterations, additions, and improvements
which Landlord does not require Tenant to remove shall become Landlord's
property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon termination of the Lease. In
no event shall Tenant remove any materials or equipment (excluding trade
fixtures) from the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, including,
but not limited to, any power wiring or power panels, lighting or lighting
fixtures, wall coverings, window coverings, carpets, other floor coverings,
heaters, air conditioners or any other heating or air conditioning equipment,
fencing or security gates or other similar Building operating equipment and
decorations. Notwithstanding, if Landlord approves a Tenant alteration as
described in Section 7.3, then Landlord, with its consent, shall condition its
approval either (i) to be removed at Lease expiration at Tenant's expense or
(ii) not be removed.
ARTICLE 8. UTILITIES AND SERVICES
8.1 UTILITIES AND SERVICES FURNISHED BY LANDLORD: Provided Tenant
is not in default hereunder, Landlord shall furnish air conditioning and heating
services to the Premises and common areas, i.e., Building cooling/heating tower.

electrical, air conditioning and heating services furnished by Landlord are not
represented by Landlord to be adequate for any purpose other than the permitted
use. It is acknowledged that the Landlord does not provide an uninterrupted
source of electrical power and other services. Under no circumstance shall
Landlord be liable to Tenant if any utility service to the Premises and/or
Building is interrupted or terminated because of repairs, installations,
improvements or causes beyond Landlord's control, nor shall any such
interruption or termination be construed as an eviction (actual or constructive)
of Tenant, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of any item of Rent, nor relieve
Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or condition of this Lease. Tenant
requested services shall be provided by Landlord, at an hourly rate established
by Landlord from time to time, during additional hours on reasonable notice to
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and payable by Tenant, as billed,
as Additional Rent. See Addendum Paragraph 4 for additional utilities. Any
specialized HVAC including, but not limited to, separate package units shall be
one hundred percent (100%) Tenant's responsibility which includes maintenance,
repairs, replacement and/or removal of said equipment. SEE ADDENDUM ATTACHED
HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF.
8.2 OTHER UTILITIES AND SERVICES: Except as set forth in Sections
8.1 and 8.3 and the Addendum, Tenant shall furnish and pay to the local utility

primary and non-contributing with any insurance carried by Landlord. Each policy
shall further provide that it shall not be canceled or materially altered
without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.

condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority,
whichever is earlier. If a partial taking so renders the balance of the Premises
unusable by Tenant, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within
thirty (30) days of the taking. No award of any partial or entire taking shall
be apportioned and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made
in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now
or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however,
Tenant shall be entitled to any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for Tenant's relocation costs or

Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease pursuant to

portion of the Premises remaining usable to as near its former condition as
reasonably possible using that portion of the condemnation award attributable to
such restoration costs.
13.5 TEMPORARY TAKING: No temporary taking of the Premises and/or
of Tenant's rights therein or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease or

and effect without terminating Tenant's right of possession, and Landlord shall
have the right to collect rent and other monetary charges when due and to
enforce all other obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall have the right
to enter the Premises to do acts of maintenance and preservation of the

competent jurisdiction
(ii) In furtherance of the remedy set forth in this
Section, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for Tenant's
account, for such term (which may extend beyond the Lease term), at such rent,
and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable in its
sole discretion. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs

such reletting shall be applied to the payment of: (a) first, any indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (b) second, the costs of

payment of future amounts as the same become due and payable hereunder. In no
event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord after a
breach of this Lease by Tenant and the exercise of Landlord's remedies
hereunder. If the rent from such reletting during any month is less than the
rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately
upon demand.
14.2 WORTH AT THE TIME OF AWARD. As used in Sections 14.1(a)(i) and
14.1(a)(ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by
allowing interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum
rate permitted by law. As used in Section 14.1 (a) (iii), above, the "worth at
the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount
rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one
percentage point.
14.3 NOTIFICATION OF RELETTING: In the event Landlord terminates
this Lease pursuant to Section 14.1(a) above, and Tenant has made an advance
payment of rent as defined in California Civil Code Article 1951.7, and Tenant

situated, of a declaration that this Lease and leasehold estate are subject,
subordinate and inferior to any lien, trust deed or encumbrance placed by
Landlord upon or against the Premises, and/or any part thereof and/or the
Building, shall, of and by itself (in favor of any lien or, mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee or title insurance company insuring the interest of any
such person) and without further notice to or act or agreement of Tenant, make
this Lease and the estate created hereby subject, subordinate and inferior
thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees, on request of Landlord,
to forthwith execute and acknowledge any reasonable subordination agreement or
other documents required to establish of record the priority of any such
encumbrance over this Lease, and also to execute and deliver to Landlord,
promptly on request, any reasonable estoppel certificate or other statement to
be furnished to any prospective purchaser or lender against the Premises stating
the matters specified in Article 27 hereof.
15.2 In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or
in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of
trust made by the Landlord covering the Premises, the Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease.
15.3 The provisions of this Article to the contrary
notwithstanding, and so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect for the full term hereof.
15.4 Landlord agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain and
deliver to Tenant, at Tenant's expense, a commercially reasonable
non-disturbance agreement from any lender with a lien on the Building senior to

ARTICLE 16. ATTORNEY'S FEES
In case any suit shall be brought for any unlawful detainer of the
Premises, for the recovery of any Rent due under this Lease, or because of the
breach or alleged breach of any other covenant herein contained on the part of
either party to be kept or performed, the prevailing party shall recover from
the non-prevailing party all costs and expenses incurred therein, including
reasonable attorney's fees, and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred
in enforcing any judgment. Further, (i) if for any reason Landlord consults
legal counsel or otherwise incurs any reasonable costs or expenses as a result
of its rightful attempt to enforce the provisions of this Lease, even though no
litigation is commenced, or if commenced is not pursued to final judgment or
(ii) Landlord is named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in
connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall be
obligated to pay to Landlord, in addition to all other amounts for which Tenant
is obligated hereunder, all of Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses incurred
in connection with any such acts, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
ARTICLE 17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
17.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED: The purpose of this Lease is to
transfer possession of the Premises to Tenant for Tenant's personal use and
Tenant has not entered into this Lease for the purpose of obtaining the right to
convey the leasehold to others. The ability of Tenant to assign or sublet the
Premises is subsidiary and incidental to the underlying purpose of this Lease.
Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest herein, and
will not sublet the Premises or any part thereof or any right or privilege
appurtenant thereto, or allow any other person (the employees, agents, servants
and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises or any portion
thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld. Provided Tenant has received Landlord's consent
herein, Tenant agrees throughout the term of this Lease not to sublease to more
than four (4) tenants total. Any cumulative transfer of more than thirty percent
(30%) of the voting stock will be deemed to be an assignment by Tenant of this
Lease which requires the prior written notice to Landlord provided the
controlling entity has a consolidated net worth equal to or greater than
Tenant's. If notice is given to Landlord, then the controlling entity shall
submit to Landlord for its approval all reasonably required financial
documentation to support the financial qualifications.
Any transfer or subletting attempted or concluded without Landlord's
prior written consent will be void and will constitute a default under this
Lease. Consent by Landlord to any transfer (including, but not limited to, an
assignment or subletting), shall be limited to the particular transfer approved
by Landlord and shall not be deemed to be Landlord's consent to any subsequent
transfer. Tenant acknowledges Landlord shall have no obligation to sublessees
and Tenant agrees to be responsible for such parties' compliance with all rules,
regulations, and other covenants.

17.2 LANDLORD'S ELECTION: Tenant's request for consent to any
transfer, described in Section 17.1 above must be accompanied by a written
statement setting forth the details of the proposed transfer, including the
name, type of business and financial condition (supported by financial
statements) of the prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed
transfer (e.g. the terms of the transaction, the rent and security deposit
payable under any assignment or sublease), copies of all agreements and other
writings pertaining in any way to the proposed transfer. Tenant, in addition to
the foregoing information which must be delivered to Landlord at the time Tenant
requests Landlord's consent to the proposed transfer, shall deliver to Landlord
any additional information concerning the proposed transfer or prospective
transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord will have the right (i)
to reasonably withhold consent; (ii) to grant written consent to the transfer;
or (iii) to terminate this Lease as of the date of the proposed transfer as to
that portion of the Premises affected by the proposed transfer provided the
third party transfer term is greater than thirty-nine (39) months long. Within
fifteen (15) business days after submission of all required information for the
request for consent of proposed transfer, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant
of its election under this Section. If Landlord does waive in writing its right
to terminate this Lease, such waiver shall be effective only for the transfer
specifically covered in Tenant's notice for a period of sixty (60) days after
the date of the waiver. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under Section
1 7.2(iii) above, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its request to the
proposed transfer within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's election to
terminate this Lease, in which case Landlord shall have no right to terminate
this Lease or any portion thereof. If Landlord does duly exercise its rights
under Section 1 7.2(iii) above to terminate this Lease or any portion thereof,
Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease or other occupancy agreement
directly with the prospective transferee, and Tenant shall have no right to any
of the rents or other consideration payable by such prospective transferee under
such other lease, even if such rents and other consideration exceed the rent
payable under this Lease by Tenant. If Landlord elects to exercise its rights
under Section 17.2(iii), then Landlord shall have the right to lease the
Premises to any other tenant, or not lease the Premises, in its sole discretion.
in the event of a sublease or assignment of a portion of the Premises, to which
Landlord has elected to exercise its rights under Section 1 7.2(iii) above,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease to effect a
proportionate reduction in the size of the Premises and in the Basic Rent or
other Additional Rent payable hereunder.
17.3 WITHHOLDING CONSENT: Under Section 17.2(i), Landlord may
withhold its consent to the proposed transfer on any reasonable ground. Such
reasonable grounds shall include, without limitation, any one or more of the
following:
(i) That the prospective transferee's financial condition
is or may become insufficient to support all of the financial and other
obligations of this Lease;
(ii) That the use to which the Premises will be put by the
prospective transferee is inconsistent with the terms of this Lease or other
existing leases or is otherwise not suitable for a first class office building;
(iii) That the nature of the prospective transferee's
proposed or likely use of the Premises would involve any increased risk of the
use, release or mishandling of hazardous materials;
(iv) That the prospective transferee is not likely to
conduct on the Property a business of a nature substantially equal to that
conducted by Tenant or other tenants on the Property;
(v) That Landlord has not received assurances acceptable
to Landlord in its sole discretion that all past due amounts owing from Tenant
to Landlord (if any) will be paid and all other defaults on the part of Tenant
(if any) will be cured prior to the effectiveness of the proposed transfer.
If Landlord withholds its consent to the proposed transfer pursuant to
Section 17.2(i), and if Tenant shall so request in writing, Landlord shall
provide to Tenant a statement of the basis on which Landlord denied its consent
within a reasonable time, however, no greater than ten (10) days after the
receipt of Tenant's notice. Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant shall have the
burden of proving that Landlord's consent to the proposed transfer was withheld
unreasonably, and that such burden may be satisfied if Landlord fails to provide
a statement of a reasonable basis for withholding its consent within a
reasonable time after Tenant's request therefor. Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that each of the rights of Landlord in the event of proposed transfer set forth
in this Article is a reasonable restriction on transfer for purposes of
California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
17.4 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS CONTINUING: No transfer within the scope
of this article, whether with or without Landlord's consent, will release Tenant
or change Tenant's primary liability to pay Rent and to perform all other
obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord's acceptance of Rent from any
other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Section. If Tenant's
transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against
Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Landlord may consent to
subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant's transferee,
without noticing Tenant or obtaining its consent, and such action will not
relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease.

17.5 EXCESS RENTAL: With respect to any sublease entered into by
Tenant with Landlord's consent as herein provided, if the rent and other
compensation paid by the subtenant to Tenant under such sublease, and all
agreements and other instruments pertaining in any way thereto, exceeds the Rent
being paid by Tenant to Landlord computed on a square foot basis (i.e., the
amount by which the rent and other compensation being paid by the subtenant to
Tenant exceeds the Rent being paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease for
each square foot leased by such subtenant) then Landlord will be entitled to the
amount of such excess ("Excess Rent") and Tenant will pay to Landlord such
Excess Rent within five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of the same. If Tenant
receives any fee, bonus or other payment (whether payable in one or more
installments) from any assignee or sublessee as partial consideration for the
making of such sublease or assignment ("Bonus Payment"), the entire amount of
such Bonus Payment shall be paid over to Landlord as additional rent hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from any
Excess Rent or Bonus Payment otherwise required to be paid to the Landlord the
amount of out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Tenant for reasonable and
customary brokerage commissions, tenant improvements, non-monetary lease
concessions or other expenses in connection with sublease or assignment provided
Tenant delivers sufficient evidence of such expenses to Landlord.
17.6 SECURITY INTEREST: Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns
to Landlord as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease all rent from
any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease, and
Landlord as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for
Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent and apply it
toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence
of an event of default by Tenant, Tenant will have the right to collect such
rent.
17.7 TRANSFER FEE: In the event Landlord consents to a sublease or
assignment hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all attorney's fees

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT
THIS WORK LETTER AGREEMENT is attached to and forms a part of that
certain Lease dated June 17,1996 (the "Lease"), by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

to the Premises which shall be constructed by Landlord as described below. All
terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the
Lease.
1. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE
(a) Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with the following tenant
improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance"): (i) Fifteen Dollars
($15) per rentable square foot within the portion of the Premises on the third
floor of the Building, or a total of Two Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Six Hundred
Ninety-Five Dollars ($265,695), (ii) Twenty Dollars ($20) per usable square foot
within the portion of the Premises on the portion of the second floor of the
Building that is unimproved shell space, or a total of One Hundred Fifty-Six
Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Dollars ($156,960), and (iii) Seven Dollars ($7) per
usable square foot for the portion of the Premises on the portion of the second
floor of the Building that has been previously improved, or a total of Thirty
Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Seven Dollars ($30,247). The allowances described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are specifically allocated to the applicable
portions of the Premises and may not be used for Tenant Improvements to any
other portion of the Premises, provided that Tenant may transfer up to five
percent (5%) of the amounts allocated in such clauses from one such portion of
the Premises to another. For example, Tenant may use not more than One Thousand
Five Hundred Twelve Dollars and Thirty-Five Cents ($1,512.35) of the allowance
for previously improved space on the second Door for Tenant Improvements to
other portions of the Premises. Any other transfers of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance from one portion of the Premises to another shall be subject to
Landlord's prior written approval. All soft costs including, but not limited to,
fees, contractor overhead, profit, processing, permits, architectural
engineering and reimbursables attributable directly or indirectly to the Tenant
Improvements shall be allocated between the portions of the Premises described
above based upon their proportional Tenant Improvement Allowance expenditures.
(b) The Tenant Improvement Allowance may be used to pay for the
construction by Landlord's Contractor (as defined below) of Tenant Improvements
permanently installed and incorporated into the realty of the Premises,
including costs of material and labor, fees for permits and licenses paid to any
governmental agency in connection with such construction, and other actual
out-of-pocket costs paid, directly or indirectly, by Landlord for such
construction, but specifically excluding payment for Tenant's fixtures,
furniture, cabling and other personal property, which shall be constructed and
installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense and in accordance with the
requirements of the Lease. Landlord shall not impose any charge upon the Tenant
Improvement Allowance for Landlord's profit, overhead or supervision of the
construction of the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Landlord engages any consultants to review specialized or upgraded improvements
requested by Tenant, the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord shall be charged
against the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
(c) The Tenant Improvement Allowance may also be used to pay for
the services of the Space Planner (as defined below) to prepare the Space Plan
and the Plans and Specifications (as such terms are defined below) and to
provide construction administration, millwork plans and other space
planning/architectural services customarily provided for similar projects,
provided that the total amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that may be
used to pay the Space Planner shall not exceed One Dollar and Forty-Five Cents
($1.45) per usable square foot within the Premises ("Architectural Cap"). Tenant
shall be solely responsible for any fees or other amounts payable to the Space
Planner in excess of the Architectural Cap.
(d) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of any Tenant
Improvements in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (or in excess of the
portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance allocated to each portion of the
Premises, subject to Tenant's limited right to reallocate such amounts as
described in (a) above), for the cost of any fees and costs of the Space Planner
in excess of the Architectural Cap and the cost of any decorating devices,
Tenant's fixtures, cabling, such as nonstandard items requested by Tenant to be
incorporated in the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty
percent (50%) of any such excess cost upon presentation of an invoice to Tenant
and the remaining fifty percent (50%) upon Substantial Completion (as defined
below). Any such payments shall be collectible as additional obligations of
Tenant pursuant to the Lease and, in default of payment thereof, Landlord shall
(in addition to all other remedies) have the same rights as in the event of
default in payment of rent. Any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that
is not used by Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements
shall be retained by Landlord and Tenant shall have no right or claim, then or
in the future, to any unused portion. The parties agree that the intent of the
Tenant Improvement Allowance is to cause to be constructed generic/building
standard Tenant Improvements throughout the Premises.

approved by Landlord before any such items may charged against the Tenant

authorize changes in the work during construction only by written instructions
from Tenant to Landlord on a form approved by Landlord. All such changes shall

responsible for the cost of any such changes, and such costs shall be chargeable
against the Tenant Improvement Allowance provided Landlord consents to such
requested change. Prior to commencing any change, Landlord shall prepare and
deliver to Tenant, for Tenant's approval, a change order (the "Change Order")
setting forth the additional time required to perform the change and the total
cost of such change, which will include associated architectural, engineering

not proceed to perform the change. Upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's approval,
Contractor shall proceed to perform the change and Tenant shall pay for such
Change Order in accordance with Section 1 (d) above. Notwithstanding any minor
change order request(s), in the event Tenant substantially changes the scope of
work, Landlord reserves the right to charge a reasonable administration fee not

administration of the change order(s). Upon Landlord's approval of change

Amount"), is more than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord
shall notify Tenant in writing. Within three (3) business days following receipt
of such notice, Tenant shall either (i) agree in writing to pay the amount by

in accordance with Section 1 (d) above or (ii) notify Landlord in writing of
Tenant's election to cause the Space Planner to revise the Plans and
Specifications to reduce the Estimated Cost. The revised Plans and
Specifications shall not be rebid, but shall instead be provided to the

the Tenant Improvements shall mean that (i) the Premises have been approved to
occupy by the City of San Diego Building Inspection Department, and (ii) it has
been determined by a joint inspection of the Premises by a representative of the
Landlord and the Tenant that the Tenant Improvements have been constructed
substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, except for
finishing details of construction, mechanical and other adjustments and other
items of the type commonly found on an architectural punch list, none of which
materially interfere with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises for Tenant's
intended normal business operation. Based on such joint inspection, Landlord
shall present to Tenant a Suite Acceptance Letter in Landlord's standard form
which Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord. Any items of work
required by the Plans and Specifications and approved change order(s) that have
not been completed upon Substantial Completion shall be listed in the Suite

failure to comply with any time frames set forth herein or in the Lease, (b) any
changes to the approved Plans and Specifications requested by Tenant, (c)
Tenant's failure to furnish any documents required hereby, to approve any item
as required hereby or to perform any other act or obligation imposed on Tenant
by the Lease or this Work Letter as and when required, or (d) any other delay

applicable laws relating to areas affected by the Tenant Improvements to the
extent such Tenant Improvements are standard and generic, and such costs shall
not be charged against the Tenant Improvement Allowance. However, Tenant shall
be responsible for such cost of compliance, and such cost shall be charged
against the Tenant Improvement Allowance, to the extent the Tenant Improvements
(i) include special or upgraded improvements beyond those that are standard and
generic and trigger code compliance obligations for previously conforming areas
of the Building and (ii) require replacement and/or modification of the existing
fire rated corridors on floors two and three of the Building.
