    THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Landlord and Tenant on the Lease Date. The defined terms used in this Lease which are defined in the Basic Lease Information attached to this Lease Agreement ("Basic Lease Information") shall have the meaning and definition given them in the Basic Lease Information. The Basic Lease Information, the exhibits, the addendum or addenda described in the Basic Lease Information, and this Lease Agreement are and shall be construed as a single instrument and are referred to herein as the "Lease".

1.  DEMISE

    In consideration for the rents and all other charges and payments payable by Tenant, and for the agreements, terms and conditions to be performed by Tenant in this Lease, LANDLORD DOES HEREBY LEASE TO TENANT, AND TENANT DOES HEREBY HIRE AND TAKE FROM LANDLORD, the Premises described below, upon the agreements, terms and conditions of this Lease for the Term hereinafter stated.

2.  PREMISES

    (a) The premises demised by this Lease consists of the Initial Premises and the Subsequent Premises (collectively, the "Premises") located in that certain building (the "Building") specified in the Basic Lease Information, which Building is located in that certain real estate development (the "Project") specified in the Basic Lease Information. The Premises has the address and contains the square footage specified in the Basic Lease Information. The location and dimensions of the Initial Premises and the Subsequent Premises are depicted on Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; provided, however, that any statement of square footage set forth in this Lease, or that may have been used in calculating any of the economic terms hereof, is an approximation which Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable and, except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 4(c)(iii) below, no economic terms based thereon shall be subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right (in common with the other tenants, Landlord and any other person granted use by Landlord) to use the-Common Areas (as hereinafter defined), except that, with respect to parking, Tenant shall have only a license to use-the number of nonexclusive and undesignated parking spaces set forth in the Basic Lease Information in the Project's parking areas (the "Parking Areas"); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenant's right to use such parking spaces; and provided, further, that the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant hereunder shall be reduced on a proportionate basis in the event any of the parking spaces in the Parking Areas are taken or otherwise eliminated as a result of any Condemnation (as hereinafter defined) or casualty event affecting such Parking Areas. No easement for light or air is incorporated in the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Common Areas" shall mean all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary line, of the Project that are provided and designated by Landlord for the non-exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant and other tenants of the Project and their respective employees, guests and invitees.

    (b) Landlord has the right, in its sole discretion, from time to time, to: (i) make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, ingress, egress, direction of driveways, entrances, corridors and walkways; (ii) close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (iii) add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas or remove existing buildings or improvements therefrom; (iv) use the Common Areas while engaged in making and do additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Project or any portion thereof; and (v) and perform any other acts or make any other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas and the Project as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, deem

1


to be appropriate; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Tenant's business during the making of any such modifications.

    (c) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Intuit, Inc. ("Intuit"), the former tenant of the Premises, is permitted to maintain equipment in the area of the Premises shown on Exhibit A-2 hereto (the "Intuit Server Area") server room until May 1, 2000. Tenant agrees to allow Intuit access to the Premises during normal business hours for the purpose of maintaining and removing such equipment. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no liability for any damages or losses suffered or incurred by Tenant resulting from or related to Intuit's maintenance or removal of such equipment.

3.  Term

    (a) The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence with respect to the Initial Premises on the date Landlord delivers possession of the Initial Premises to Tenant (the "Initial Premises Commencement Date") and with respect to the Subsequent Premises on the date Landlord delivers possession of the Subsequent Premises to Tenant (the "Subsequent Premises Commencement Date"), and shall expire with respect to the entire Premises on the Expiration Date. In the event the actual Initial Premises Commencement Date is a date other than the Estimated Initial Premises Commencement Date specified in the Basic Lease Information, or the actual Subsequent Premises Commencement Date is a date other than the Estimated Subsequent Premises Commencement Date specified in the Basic Lease Information, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute a Commencement and Expiration Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2, as applicable, wherein the parties shall specify the Initial Premises Commencement Date or the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date, as applicable, and, in the case of a Commencement and Expiration Date Memorandum, executed to memorialize the actual Subsequent Premises Commencement Date, the Expiration Date.

    (b) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall be performing seismic upgrade work (the "Seismic Work") in the Subsequent Premises prior to the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date and that Tenant shall have no right to occupy all or any portion of the Subsequent Premises prior to the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall be performing Seismic Work in the Initial Premises prior to and following the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and take all actions required by Landlord to facilitate the completion of the Seismic Work in the Initial Premises during the Term. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant understands and agrees that it might be required to remove cubicles and computers from portions of the Initial Premises or to vacate portions of the Initial Premises altogether during the performance of such Seismic Work. Tenant further understands that Landlord may be required to turn off the electricity and other utilities and to disengage the wiring in part or all of the Initial Premises during the performance of the Seismic Work. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with advance notice of Landlord's work in the Initial Premises, but Landlord shall have no liability for the failure to so provide such notice. Landlord's performance of the Seismic Work and any disruption of Tenant's use or occupancy of or business activities in the Premises shall not be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent. Landlord and Landlord's contractors shall have keys to the Premises and shall have the right to enter upon the Premises 24-hours a day, 7-days a week to complete the Seismic Work.

    (b) Additional Rent. This Lease is intended to be a triple-net Lease with respect to Landlord; and subject to Paragraph 14(b) below, the Base Rent owing hereunder is (i) to be paid by Tenant absolutely net of all costs and expenses relating to Landlord's ownership and operation of the Project and the Building, and (ii) not to be reduced, offset or diminished, directly or indirectly, by any cost, charge or expense payable hereunder by Tenant or by others in connection with the Premises, the Building and/or the Projector any part thereof. The provisions of this Paragraph 4(b) for the payment of Tenant's Proportionate Share(s) of Expenses (as hereinafter defined) are intended to pass on to Tenant its share of all such costs and expenses. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Tenant's Proportionate Share(s) of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, management and repair of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof (collectively, the "Expenses"), including, without limitation, all the following items (the "Additional Rent"):

         (i) Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes and assessments, which shall include any form of tax, assessment, fee, license fee, business license fee, levy, penalty (if a result of Tenant's delinquency), or tax (other than net income, estate, succession, inheritance, transfer or franchise

3


    taxes), imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, or by any city, county, state or federal government or any improvement or other district or division thereof, whether such tax is: (A) determined by the area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof, or the Rent and other sums payable hereunder by Tenant or by other tenants, including, but not limited to, any gross income or excise tax levied by any of the foregoing authorities with respect to receipt of Rent and/or other sums due under this Lease; (B) upon any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof, (C) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring any interest in the Premises, the Building and/or the Project; (D) levied or assessed in lieu of, in substitution for, or in addition to, existing or additional taxes against the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties; or (E) surcharged against the parking area. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services which may formerly have been provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of the parties that all new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges due to any cause whatsoever are to be included within the definition of real property taxes for purposes of this Lease. "Taxes and assessments" shall also include legal and consultants' fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce taxes, Landlord specifically reserving the right, but not the obligation, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount or validity of any taxes.

The cost of all Utilities (as hereinafter defined) serving the Premises, the Building and the Project that are not separately metered to Tenant, any assessments or charges for Utilities or similar purposes included within any tax bill for the Building or the Project, including, without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, and/or any similar fees or charges and any penalties (if a result of Tenant's delinquency) related thereto, and any amounts, taxes, charges, surcharges, assessments or impositions levied, assessed or imposed upon the Premises, the Building or the Project or any part thereof, or upon Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, as a result of any rationing of Utility services or restriction on Utility use affecting the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as contemplated in Paragraph 5 below (collectively, "Utility Expenses").

        (iv) Common Area Expenses. All costs to operate, maintain, repair, replace, supervise, insure and administer the Common Areas, including supplies, materials, labor and equipment used in or related to the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas, including parking areas (including, without limitation, all costs of resurfacing and restriping parking areas), signs and directories on the Building and/or the Project, landscaping (including maintenance contracts and fees payable to landscaping consultants), amenities, sprinkler systems, sidewalks, walkways, driveways, curbs, lighting systems and security services, if any, provided by Landlord for the Common Areas, and any charges, assessments, costs or fees levied by any association or entity of which the Project or any part thereof is a member or to which the Project or any part thereof is subject.

4


    by any governmental authority or insurer in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building or the Project.

Except for costs which are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 14(b) below, all costs to maintain, repair, and replace the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof, including, without limitation, (A) all costs paid under maintenance, management and service agreements such as contracts for janitorial, security and refuse removal, (B) all costs to maintain, repair and replace the roof coverings of the Building or the Project or any part thereof, (C) all costs to maintain, repair and replace the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, sewer, drainage, electrical, fire protection, life safety and security systems and other mechanical and electrical systems and equipment serving the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof (collectively, the "Systems"), and (D) all costs and expenses incurred in causing the Project to be Year 2000 Compliant (as defined below). "Year 2000 Compliant" shall mean that all Systems containing or using computers or other information technology will function without material error or interruption resulting from the date change from year 1999 to year 2000, to the extent that information technology of third parties properly communicates date/time data with the Systems.

       (vii) Life Safety Costs. All costs to install, maintain, repair and replace all life safety systems, including, without limitation, all fire alarm systems, serving the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof (including all maintenance contracts and fees payable to life safety consultants) whether such systems are or shall be required by Landlord's insurance carriers, Laws (as hereinafter defined) or otherwise.

       (viii) Management and Administration. All costs for management and administration of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof, including, without limitation, a property management fee, accounting, auditing, billing, postage, salaries and benefits for clerical and supervisory employees, whether located on the Project or off-site, payroll taxes and legal and accounting costs and fees for licenses and permits related to the ownership and operation of the Project.

        Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 4(b) to the contrary, with respect to all sums payable by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Paragraph 4(b) for the replacement of any item or the construction of any new item in connection with the physical operation of the Premises, the Building or the Project (i.e., HVAC, roof membrane or coverings and parking area) which is a capital item the replacement of which would be capitalized under Landlord's commercial real estate accounting practices, Tenant shall be required to pay only the prorata share of the cost of the item falling due within the Term (including any Renewal Term) based upon the amortization of the same over the useful life of such item, as reasonably determined by Landlord.

    (c) Payment of Additional Rent.

         (i) Upon commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall submit to Tenant an estimate of monthly Additional Rent for the period between the Commencement Date and the following December 31 and Tenant shall pay such estimated Additional Rent on a monthly basis, in advance, on the first day of each month. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change therein. If at any time or times Landlord determines that the amounts payable under Paragraph 4(b) for the current year will vary from Landlord's estimate given to Tenant, Landlord, by notice to Tenant, may revise the estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate. By April 1 of each calendar year, Landlord shall endeavor to provide to Tenant a statement ("Expense Statement") showing the actual Additional Rent due to Landlord for the prior calendar year, to be prorated during the first year from the Commencement Date. If the total of the monthly payments of Additional Rent that Tenant has made for the prior calendar year is less than the actual Additional

5


    Rent chargeable to Tenant for such prior calendar year, then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Expense Statement from Landlord. Any overpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent for the prior calendar year shall be credited towards the Additional Rent next due.

        (ii) Landlord's then-current annual operating and capital budgets for the Building and the Project or the pertinent part thereof shall be used for purposes of calculating Tenant's monthly payment of estimated Additional Rent for the current year, subject to adjustment as provided above. Landlord shall make the final determination of Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease terminates as soon as possible after termination of such year. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Tenant shall remain liable for payment of any amount due to Landlord in excess of the estimated Additional Rent previously paid by Tenant, and, conversely, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any overpayment. Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent as herein provided.

        (iii) With respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Building, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Information as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Building, as adjusted by Landlord from time to time for a remeasurement of or changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building, whether such changes in size are due to an addition to or a sale or conveyance of a portion of the Building or otherwise. With respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Project as a whole or to only a portion of the Project, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be, with respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Project as a whole, the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Information as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Project and, with respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to only a portion of the Project, a percentage calculated by Landlord from time to time in its sole discretion and furnished to Tenant in writing, in either case as adjusted by Landlord from time to time for a remeasurement of or changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project, whether such changes in size are due to an addition to or a sale or conveyance of a portion of the Project or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may equitably adjust Tenant's Proportionate Share(s) for all or part of any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Building and/or the Project or that varies with the occupancy of the Building and/or the Project. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to adjust Tenant's Proportionate Share(s) of any Utility Expenses based upon Tenant's use of the Utilities or similar services as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord based upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such Utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant's use of such Utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination of Utility Expenses, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenant's sole expense.

    (d) General Payment Terms. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, if any, any late charges assessed pursuant to Paragraph 6 below and any interest assessed pursuant to Paragraph 45 below, are referred to as the "Rent". All Rent shall be paid, without deduction, offset or abatement in lawful money of the United States of America. Checks are to be made payable to Harbor Investment Partners and shall be mailed to: Dept. No. 66218, El Monte, California 91735-6128 or to such other person or place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate to Tenant in writing. The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or termination of the Lease term shall be a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty (30) day month.

6


    (e) Tenant's Audit Rights. Provided Tenant is not then in Default under the terms of this Lease (nor is any event occurring which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default hereunder), Tenant, at its sole expense, shall have the right within ninety (90) days after the delivery of each Expense Statement to review and audit Landlord's books and records regarding such Expense Statement for the sole purpose of determining the accuracy thereof. Such review or audit shall be performed by a nationally recognized accounting firm that calculates its fees with respect to hours actually worked and that does not discount its time or rate (as opposed to a calculation based upon percentage of recoveries or other incentive arrangement), shall take place during normal business hours in the office of Landlord or Landlord's property manager and shall be completed within three (3) business days after the commencement thereof. If Tenant does not so review or audit Landlord's books and records, Landlord's Expense Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant. In the event that Tenant determines on the basis of its review of Landlord's books and records that the amount of Expenses paid by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 4(e) for the period covered by such Expense Statement is less than or greater than the actual amount properly payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly pay any deficiency to Landlord or, if Landlord concurs with the results of such audit, Landlord shall promptly refund any excess payment to Tenant, as the case may be. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of such audit; provided, however, that if the audit reveals that Landlord has overstated Expenses for the relevant annual period by more than seven percent (7%) of the actual Expenses for such period, then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of the audit.

5.  UTILITY EXPENSES

    (a) Tenant shall pay the cost of all water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and permit costs and sewer connection fees, gas, heat, electricity, refuse pick-up, janitorial service, telephone and all materials and services or other utilities (collectively, "Utilities") billed or metered separately to the Premises and/or Tenant, together with all taxes, assessments, charges and penalties added to or included within such cost. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises, the Building and/or the Project may become subject to the rationing of Utility services or restrictions on Utility use as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its tenancy and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing or restrictions as maybe imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, and Tenant shall in no event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions. Tenant agrees to comply with energy conservation programs implemented by Landlord by reason of rationing, restrictions or Laws.

    (b) Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to property caused by or resulting from any variation, interruption, or failure of Utilities due to any cause whatsoever, or from failure to make any repairs or perform any maintenance. No temporary interruption or failure of such services incident to the making of repairs, alterations, improvements, or due to accident, strike, or conditions or other events shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage to the Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any property therein or thereon occasioned by bursting, rupture, leakage or overflow of any plumbing or other pipes (including, without limitation, water, steam, and/or refrigerant lines), sprinklers, tanks, drains, drinking fountains or washstands, or other similar cause in, above, upon or about the Premises, the Building, or the Project.

6.  LATE CHARGE

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment to Landlord of Rent, or other amounts due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. If any

7


Rent or other sums due from Tenant are not received by Landlord or by Landlord's designated agent within five (5) days after their due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount, plus any costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant's late payment and shall not be construed as a penalty. Landlord's acceptance of such late charges shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount or estop Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted under this Lease.

7.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

    Concurrently with Tenant's execution of the Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information as security for the full and faithful performance of each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease. Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit as may be reasonably necessary (a) to remedy Tenant's Default in the payment of any Rent, (b) to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant and not repaired by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, (c) to clean the Premises upon termination of this Lease if Tenant does not surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the requirements of this Lease, (d) to reimburse Landlord for the payment of any amount which Landlord may reasonably spend or be required to spend by reason of Tenant's Default, or (e) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's Default. Should Tenant faithfully and fully comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Term, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant or, at the option of Landlord, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on such deposit. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, within five (5) days after written demand therefor Tenant shall deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full extent of the above amount, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease. In the event Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the then remaining amount of the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect to such Security Deposit.

8.  LETTER OF CREDIT

    Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, the Letter of Credit described below in the amount of Nine Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand One Hundred Sixty and 00/100 Dollars ($962,160.00) (the "LC Face Amount") as security for Tenant's performance of all of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that neither the Letter of Credit nor any Letter of Credit Proceeds (as defined below) shall be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of Landlord's damages upon Tenant's Default. The Letter of Credit shall be maintained in effect from the date hereof through the date that is sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date (the "LC Termination Date"). On the LC Termination Date, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord (other than those Letter of Credit Proceeds Landlord is entitled to retain under the terms of this Paragraph 8(a)); provided, however, that in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not be required to segregate the Letter of Credit Proceeds from its other

8


funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto. Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon the Letter of Credit and use the proceeds therefrom (the "Letter of Credit Proceeds") or any portion thereof as may be reasonably necessary (i) to cure any Default under this Lease and to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage Landlord incurs as a result of such Default, (ii) to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant and not repaired by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, (iii) to clean the Premises upon termination of this Lease if Tenant does not surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the requirements of this Lease, (iv) to reimburse Landlord for the payment of any amount which Landlord may for any other purpose spend or be required to spend by reason of Tenant's Default, and (v) for any other purpose for which Landlord is entitled to use the Security Deposit, it being understood that any use of the Letter of Credit Proceeds shall not constitute a bar or defense to any of Landlord's remedies set forth in Paragraph 26 below. In such event and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the amount of the Letter of Credit Proceeds so utilized by Landlord and the particular purpose for which such amount was applied, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the full LC Face Amount. Tenant's failure to deliver such replacement Letter of Credit to Landlord within ten (10) days of Landlord's notice shall constitute a Default hereunder. In the event Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord to Landlord's successor in interest, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect to such Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Proceeds.

    (a) As used herein, Letter of Credit shall mean an unconditional, stand-by irrevocable letter of credit (herein referred to as the "Letter of Credit") issued by the San Francisco office of a major national bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and otherwise satisfactory to Landlord (the "Bank"), naming Landlord as beneficiary, in the amount of the LC Face Amount, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall be for a one-year term and shall provide: (i) that Landlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, up to the face amount thereof, (ii) that Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit up to the full amount thereof and the Bank will pay to Landlord the amount of such draw upon receipt by the Bank of a sight draft signed by Landlord and accompanied by a written certification from Landlord to the Bank stating either that: (A) a Default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease and any applicable grace period has expired, or (B) Landlord has not received notice from the Bank at least thirty (30) days prior to the then current expiry date of the Letter of Credit that the Letter of Credit will be renewed by the Bank for at least one (1) year beyond the relevant annual expiration date or, in the case of the last year of the Term, sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date, together with a replacement Letter of Credit or a modification to the existing Letter of Credit effectuating such renewal, and Tenant has not otherwise furnished Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit as hereinafter provided; and (iii) that, in the event of Landlord's assignment or other transfer of its interest in this Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without recourse and without the payment of any fee or consideration, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and the Bank shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or transferee. In the event that the Bank shall fail to (y) notify Landlord that the Letter of Credit will be renewed for at least one (1) year beyond the then applicable expiration date, and (z) deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit or a modification to the existing Letter of Credit effectuating such renewal, and Tenant shall not have otherwise delivered to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant annual expiration date, a replacement Letter Of Credit in the amount required hereunder and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit as provided above, and shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Letter of Credit Proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 8(a) above.

    (a) Tenant's Right of Possession. Subject to Paragraph 9(b), Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Premises upon commencement of the Term.

    (b) Early Occupancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to enter upon the Initial Premises at times acceptable to Landlord following the execution of this Lease and the vacation of the Premises by Intuit for the sole purpose of installing telephones and computer equipment, provided that Tenant shall not conduct its business in the Initial Premises during such period, and provided further, that such entry shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, excluding only the obligation to pay Rent.

    (c) Delay in Delivering Possession.

Tenant shall not be liable for Rent until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. The Expiration Date shall be extended by the same number of days that Tenant's possession of the Premises was delayed beyond the Estimated Commencement Date.

    (d) Tenant's Right to Terminate Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 9(c) above, if Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Subsequent Premises to Tenant on or before September 30, 2000 for reasons other than Force Majeure Events and Tenant Delays (as such terms are hereinafter defined), then Tenant shall have the right, as its sole and absolute remedy for such failure, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given not later than October 5, 2000. If Tenant fails to deliver such notice to Landlord on or before such date, then this Lease shall remain in fall force and effect and Tenant's rights under this Paragraph 9(d) shall terminate. As used herein, "Force Majeure Events" means strikes, embargoes, governmental regulations, acts of God, war, civil commotion or other strife, and other events beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; and "Tenant Delays" means any delays caused by Tenant or Tenant's Agents (as hereinafter defined).

The use of the Premises by Tenant and Tenant's agents, advisors, employees, partners, shareholders, directors, invitees and independent contractors (collectively, "Tenant's Agents") shall be solely for the Permitted Use specified in the Basic Lease Information and for no other use. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odor, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibration to emanate from or near the Premises. The Premises shall not be used to create any nuisance or trespass, for any illegal purpose, for any purpose not permitted by Laws, for any purpose that would invalidate the insurance or increase the premiums for insurance on the Premises, the Building or the Project or for any purpose or in any manner that would interfere with other tenants' use or occupancy of the Project. If any of Tenant's office machines or equipment disturb any other tenant in the Building, then Tenant shall provide adequate insulation or take such other action as may be necessary to eliminate the noise or disturbance. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, any increases in premiums on policies resulting from Tenant's Permitted Use or any other use or action by Tenant or Tenant's Agents which increases Landlord's premiums or requires additional coverage by Landlord to insure the Premises. Tenant agrees not to overload the floor(s) of the Building.

10


Paragraph 4 above, pay for, structural changes to the Premises or the Building not related to Tenant's specific use of the Premises unless the requirement for such changes is imposed as a result of any improvements or additions made or proposed to be made at Tenant's request; (ii) all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project ("Private Restrictions") now in force or which may hereafter be in force; and (iii) any and all rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit C and any other rules and regulations now Or hereafter promulgated by Landlord related to parking or the operation of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project (collectively, the "Rules and Regulations"). The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such Laws or Private Restrictions, shall-be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

    (c) Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge that the Premises, the Building and/or the Project may be subject to, among other Laws, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., including, but not limited to, Title III thereof, and all regulations and guidelines related thereto, together with any and all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes and statutes now or hereafter enacted by local or state agencies having jurisdiction thereof, including all requirements of Title 24 of the State of California, as the same may be in effect on the date of this Lease and may be hereafter modified, amended or supplemented (collectively, the "ADA"). Any Alterations to be constructed hereunder shall be in compliance with the requirements of the ADA, and all costs incurred for purposes of compliance therewith shall be a part of and included in the costs of the Alterations. Tenant shall be solely responsible for conducting its own independent investigation of this matter and for ensuring that the design of all Alterations strictly complies with all requirements of the ADA. Subject to, reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4 above, if any barrier removal work or other work is required to the Building, the Common Areas or the Project under the ADA, then such work shall be the responsibility of Landlord; provided, however, that if such work is required under the ADA as a result of Tenant's specific use of the Premises or any work or Alteration (as hereinafter defined) made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, then such work shall be performed by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this provision, Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for fully and faithfully complying with all applicable requirements of the ADA, including, without limitation, not discriminating against any disabled persons in the operation of Tenant's business in or about the Premises, and offering or otherwise providing auxiliary aids and services as, and when, required by the ADA. Within ten (10) days after receipt, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing, and provide Landlord with copies of (as applicable), any notices alleging violation of the ADA relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building or the Project; any claims made or threatened orally or in writing regarding noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building, or the Project; or any governmental or regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened regarding noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall and hereby agrees to protect, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and Landlord's Agents harmless and indemnify Landlord and Landlord's Agents from and against all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, penalties, judgments, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees, costs of court and expenses necessary in the prosecution or defense of any litigation including the enforcement of this provision) arising from or in any way related to, directly or indirectly, Tenant's or Tenant's Agents' violation or alleged violation of the ADA. Tenant agrees that the obligations of Tenant herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

11. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

    (a) By entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as suitable for Tenant's intended use and as being in good and sanitary operating order, condition and repair, AS IS, and without representation or

11


warranty by Landlord as to the condition, use or occupancy which may be made thereof. Any exceptions to the foregoing must be by written agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant.

    (b) Notwithstanding the terms of Paragraph 11(a) above, Landlord shall cause the roof on the Building to be in good condition and the HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems serving the Premises to be in good working order on the Commencement Date. Any claims by Tenant under the preceding, sentence shall be made in writing not later than the fifteenth (15th) day after the Commencement Date. In the event Tenant fails to deliver a written claim to Landlord on or before such fifteenth (15th) day, then Landlord shall be conclusively deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Paragraph 11(b).

12. SURRENDER

    Tenant agrees that on the last day of the Term, or on the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in good condition and repair (damage by acts of God, fire, and normal wear and tear excepted), but with all interior walls painted or cleaned so they appear painted, any carpets cleaned, all floors cleaned and waxed, all non-working light bulbs and ballasts replaced and all roll-up doors and plumbing fixtures in good condition and working order, and (b) otherwise in accordance with Paragraph 33(h). Normal wear and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration to the floors of the Premises arising from the use of forklifts in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, any marks or stains on any portion of the floors, other than marks arising in the ordinary course), and any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by proper maintenance by Tenant, or Tenant otherwise performing all of its obligations under this Lease. On or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, (i) Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Property (as hereinafter defined) and Tenant's signage from the Premises, the Building and the Project and repair any damage caused by such removal, and (ii) Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given not later than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date (except in the event of a termination of this Lease prior to the scheduled Expiration Date, in which event no advance notice shall be required), require Tenant at Tenant's expense to remove any or all Alterations and to repair any damage caused by such removal. Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to obligate Tenant to remove from the Premises any of the improvements located therein on the Initial Premises Commencement Date or the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date, as applicable. Any of Tenant's Property not removed by Tenant as required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord's retention and disposition of such property; provided, however, that Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all costs incurred in storing and disposing of such abandoned property of Tenant. All Alterations except those which Landlord requires Tenant to remove shall remain in the Premises as the property of Landlord. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 12 and Paragraph 33(h) below. Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Rent (as the same may be increased pursuant to Paragraph 36 below) until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said Paragraphs, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss or liability resulting, from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any loss or liability resulting from any claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded on or resulting from such delay and losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys' fees and costs.

12


13. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

    (a) Tenant shall not make, or permit to be made, any alteration, addition or improvement (hereinafter referred to individually as an "Alteration" and collectively as the "Alterations") to the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to consent or to withhold its consent to any Alteration which affects the structural portions of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the Systems serving the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any portion thereof.

13


    (b) Any Alteration to the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in compliance with all applicable Laws and all requirements requested by Landlord, including, without limitation, the requirements of any insurer providing coverage for the Premises or the Project or any part thereof, and in accordance with plans and specifications approved in writing by Landlord, and shall be constructed and installed by a contractor approved in writing by Landlord. As a further condition to giving, consent, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, with evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's financial ability to pay the costs and expenses of the proposed Tenant Improvements. Before Alterations may begin, valid building, permits or other permits or licenses required must be furnished to Landlord, and, once the Alterations begin, Tenant will diligently and continuously pursue their completion. Landlord may monitor construction of the Alterations and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its costs (including, without limitation, the costs of any construction manager retained by Landlord, provided that the costs of such construction manager shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total "hard" and "soft" costs of the applicable Alterations) in reviewing plans and documents and in monitoring construction. Tenant shall maintain during the course of construction, at its sole cost and expense, builders' risk insurance for the amount of the completed value of the Alterations on an all-risk non-reporting form covering all improvements under construction, including building materials, and other insurance in amounts and against such risks as Landlord shall reasonably require in connection with the Alterations. In addition to and without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall ensure that its' contractor(s) procure and maintain in full force and effect during the course of construction a "broad form" commercial general liability and property damage policy of insurance naming Landlord, Landlord's investment advisor and agent, UBS Brinson Realty Investors LLC, Tenant and Landlord's lenders as additional insureds. The minimum limit of coverage of the aforesaid policy shall be in the amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in the amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death of more than one person in any one accident or occurrence, and shall contain a severability of interest clause or a cross liability endorsement. Such insurance shall further insure Landlord and Tenant against liability for property damage of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

    (c) All Alterations, including, but not limited to, heating, lighting, electrical, air conditioning, fixed partitioning, drapery, wall covering and paneling, built-in cabinet work and carpeting installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part of the Premises or the Building, shall, solely for federal and state income tax purposes, be deemed the property of Tenant upon installation; provided, however, that such Alterations and property shall automatically be and become the property of Landlord for all purposes upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease without the need for any further documentation from Tenant, and shall not be deemed trade fixtures or Tenant's Property. If requested by Landlord, Tenant will pay, prior to the commencement of construction (excluding Alterations consisting solely of paint and carpeting), an amount determined by Landlord necessary to cover the costs of demolishing such Alterations and/or the cost of returning the Premises and the Building to its condition prior to such Alterations. Landlord shall return such amount to Tenant promptly following Tenant's demolition of such Alterations and restoration of the Premises and the Building.

    (d) No private telephone systems and/or other related computer or telecommunications equipment or lines may be installed without Landlord's prior written consent. If Landlord gives such consent, all equipment must be installed within the Premises and, at the request of Landlord made at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, removed upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and the Premises restored to the same condition as before such installation.

    (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, before installing any equipment or lights which generate an undue amount of heat in the Premises, or if Tenant plans to use any high-power usage equipment in the Premises, Tenant shall obtain the written permission of Landlord. Landlord

14


may refuse to grant such permission unless Tenant agrees to pay the costs to Landlord for installation of supplementary air conditioning capacity or electrical systems necessitated by such equipment.

    (f)  Tenant agrees not to proceed to make any Alterations, notwithstanding consent from Landlord to do so, until Tenant has provided Landlord with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the date Tenant desires to commence construction or installation of such Alterations, in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material suppliers for payment for Tenant's improvements. Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of work.

    (g) Landlord shall provide an allowance to Tenant in the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information'("Alterations Allowance") for the making of Alterations to the Premises following the Commencement Date, provided that such Alterations are made in full compliance with the terms of this Paragraph 13. Landlord shall disburse the Alterations Allowance to Tenant following, the completion of the Alterations and the delivery to Landlord of invoices, lien waivers and other documents requested by Landlord to evidence the lien-free completion of the Alterations; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse all or any portion of the Alterations Allowance to Tenant after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and any portion that is not disbursed after such anniversary shall no longer be available to Tenant hereunder. The Alterations Allowance shall be the maximum contribution by Landlord for the Alterations. Should the actual cost of planning and constructing such Alterations be less than the Alterations Allowance, the Alterations Allowance shall be reduced to an amount equal to said actual cost.

14. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF PREMISES

    (a) Maintenance by Tenant. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, (i) keep and maintain in good order and condition the Premises, and repair and replace every part thereof, including glass, windows, window frames, window casements, skylights, interior and exterior doors, door frames and door closers; interior lighting (including, without limitation, light bulbs and ballasts), the plumbing and electrical systems exclusively serving the Premises, all communications systems serving the Premises, Tenant's signage, interior demising walls and partitions, equipment, interior painting and interior walls and floors, and the roll-up doors, ramps and dock equipment, including, without limitation, dock bumpers, dock plates, dock seals, dock levelers and dock lights located in or on the Premises (excepting only those portions of the Building or the Project to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Paragraph 14(b) below), (ii) furnish all expendables, including light bulbs, paper goods and soaps, used in the Premises, and (iii) keep and maintain in good order and condition, repair and replace all of Tenant's security systems in or about or serving the Premises and, except to the extent that Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of its intention to arrange for such monitoring, cause the fire alarm systems serving the Premises to be monitored by a monitoring or protective services firm approved by Landlord in writing. Tenant shall not do nor shall Tenant allow Tenant's Agents to do anything to cause any damage, deterioration or unsightliness to the Premises, the Building or the Project.

    (b) Maintenance by Landlord. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 14(a), 22 and 23, and further subject to Tenant's obligation under Paragraph 4 to reimburse Landlord, in the form of Additional Rent, for Tenant's Proportionate Share(s) of the cost and expense of the following items, Landlord agrees to repair and maintain the following items: the roof coverings (provided that Tenant installs no additional air conditioning or other equipment on the roof that damages the roof coverings, in which event Tenant shall pay all costs resulting from the presence of such additional equipment); the Systems serving the Premises and the Building, excluding the plumbing and electrical systems exclusively serving the Premises; and the Parking Areas, pavement, landscaping, sprinkler systems, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and lighting systems in the Common Areas. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 14(a), 22 and 23, Landlord, at its own cost and expense, agrees to repair and maintain the following items: the

15


structural portions of the roof (specifically excluding the roof coverings), the foundation, the footings, the floor slab, and the load bearing walls and exterior walls of the Building (excluding any glass and any routine maintenance, including, without limitation, any painting, sealing, patching and waterproofing of such walls). Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 14 to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to either repair or to require Tenant to repair any damage to any portion of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project caused by or created due to any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's Agents and to restore the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as applicable., to the condition existing prior to the occurrence of such damage; provided, however, that in the event Landlord elects to perform such repair and restoration work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Landlord's obligation hereunder to repair and maintain is subject to the condition precedent that Landlord shall have received written notice of the need for such repairs and maintenance and a reasonable time to perform such repair and maintenance. Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report such defects shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord by reason of such condition.

    (c) Tenant's Waiver of Rights. Tenant hereby expressly waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to terminate this Lease, as provided for in California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942, and 1932(l), respectively, and any similar or successor statute or law in effect or any amendment thereof during the Tenn.

15. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE

    Landlord shall purchase and keep in force fire, extended coverage and "all risk" insurance covering the Building and the Project. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all reasonable requirements pertaining to the Premises, the Building and the Project of any insurer necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and commercial general liability insurance, covering the Building and the Project. Landlord, at Tenant's cost, may maintain "Loss of Rents" insurance, insuring that the Rent will be paid in a timely manner to Landlord for a period of at least twelve (12) months if the Premises, the Building or the Project or any portion thereof are destroyed or rendered unusable or inaccessible by any cause insured against under this Lease.

16. TENANT'S INSURANCE

    (a) Commercial General Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, secure and keep in force a "broad form" commercial general liability insurance and property damage policy covering the Premises, insuring Tenant, and naming Landlord, Landlord's investment advisors and agents from time to time, including, without limitation, UBS Brinson Realty Investors LLC, and Landlord's lenders as additional insureds, against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. The minimum limit of coverage of such policy shall be in the amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in the amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death of more than one person in any one accident or occurrence, shall include an extended liability endorsement providing contractual liability coverage (which shall include coverage for Tenant's indemnification obligations in this Lease), and shall contain a severability of interest clause or a cross liability endorsement. Such insurance shall further insure Landlord and Tenant against liability for property damage of at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). Landlord may from time to time require reasonable increases in any such limits if Landlord believes that additional coverage is necessary or desirable. The limit of any insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. No policy maintained by Tenant under this Paragraph 16(a) shall contain a deductible greater than Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of

16


coverage without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, and loss payable clauses shall be subject to Landlord's approval. Such policies of insurance shall be issued as primary policies and not contributing with or in excess of coverage that Landlord may carry, by an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of California for the issuance of such type of insurance coverage and rated A:IX or better in Best's Key Rating Guide.

    (b) Personal Property Insurance. Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect on all of its personal property, furniture, furnishings, trade or business fixtures and equipment (collectively, "Tenant's Property") on the Premises, a policy or policies of fire and extended coverage insurance with standard coverage endorsement to the extent of the full replacement cost thereof. No such policy shall contain a deductible greater than Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). During the term of this Lease the proceeds from any such policy or policies of insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the fixtures and equipment so insured. Landlord shall have no interest in the insurance upon Tenant's equipment and fixtures and will sign all documents reasonably necessary in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss by Tenant. Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant's possessions.

    (c) Worker's Compensation Insurance; Employer's Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain in full force and effect worker's compensation insurance with not less than the minimum limits required by law, and employer's liability insurance with a minimum limit of coverage of One Million Dollars ($ 1,000,000.00).

    (d) Evidence of Coverage. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance and true and complete copies of any and all endorsements required herein for all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder at the time of execution of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of each policy, furnish Landlord with certificates of renewal or "binders" thereof. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancellable or otherwise subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and the other parties named as additional insureds as required in this Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in which event cancellation shall not take effect until at least ten (10) days notice has been given to Landlord).

17. INDEMNIFICATION

    (a) Of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's Agents against and from any and all claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (i) the use of the Premises, the Building or the Project by Tenant or Tenant's Agents, or from any activity done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or Tenant's Agents in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project, and (ii) any act, neglect, fault, willful misconduct or omission of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, or from any breach or default in the terms of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant's Agents, and (iii) any action or proceeding brought on account of any matter in items (i) or (ii). If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant hereby releases Landlord and Landlord's Agents from responsibility for, waives its entire claim of recovery for and assumes all risk of (A) damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project from any cause whatsoever (except that which is caused by the sole active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's Agents or by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, if such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failure), or (B) loss resulting from business interruption or loss of income at the Premises. Without limiting the generality of foregoing, in consideration of Landlord's willingness to permit Tenant to occupy the Initial Premises prior to the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date, Tenant expressly releases Landlord and

17


Landlord's Agents from responsibility for, waives its entire claim of recovery for and assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project, however caused, and loss resulting from business interruption or loss of income at the Premises resulting from or related to, directly or indirectly, the Seismic Work. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord would not permit Tenant to occupy the Initial Premises during the performance of the Seismic Work but for the agreement by Tenant to the terms of the foregoing release, and that by entering upon the Premises prior to the Subsequent Premises Commencement Date, Tenant expressly assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons resulting from or related to, directly or indirectly, the Seismic Work. In furtherance of the foregoing terms contained in this Paragraph 17(a), Tenant expressly waives all rights under California Civil Code section 1542, which provides that:

      "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

Initials:   /s/
TENANT

    The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall survive any termination of this Lease.

    (b) No Impairment of Insurance. The foregoing indemnity shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under any policies required to be carried by either party pursuant to this Lease, to the extent that such policies cover the peril or occurrence that results in the claim that is subject to the foregoing indemnity.

18. SUBROGATION

    Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any claim against the other and its Agents for any loss or damage to any of their property located on or about the Premises, the Building or the Project that is caused by or results from perils covered by property insurance carried by the respective parties, to the extent of the proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect to such loss or damage whether or not due to the negligence of the other party or its Agents. Because the foregoing waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company or any other person, each party now agrees to immediately give to its insurer written notice of the terms of these mutual waivers and shall have their insurance policies endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage because of these waivers. Nothing in this Paragraph 18 shall relieve a party of liability to the other for failure to carry insurance required by this Lease.

19. SIGNS

    Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed in, upon, or about the Premises, the Building or the Project any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, advertisements or notices, or erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior the Premises without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent or without complying with Landlord's signage criteria, as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time, and with all applicable Laws, and will not conduct, or permit to be conducted, any sale by auction on the Premises or otherwise on the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install identification signage on the exterior of the Building, subject to compliance with Landlord's signage criteria and Landlord's approval of the size, design, style and location of such signage. Tenant shall remove any sign, advertisement or notice placed on the Premises, the Building or the Project by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall repair any damage or injury to the Premises, the Building or the Project

18


caused thereby, all at Tenant's expense. If any signs are not removed, or necessary repairs not made, Landlord shall have the right to remove the signs and repair any damage or injury to the Premises, the Building or the Project at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

20. FREE FROM LIENS

    Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and the Project free from any liens arising out of any work performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days (or, if Landlord is then in the process of selling or financing the Building or the Project, ten (10) days) following the imposition of any such lien, cause the lien 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 same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant upon demand. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law or that Landlord shall deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises, the Building and the Project, from mechanics' and materialmen's liens. Tenant shall give to Landlord at least five (5) business days' prior written notice of commencement of any repair or construction on the Premises.

21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD

    Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord's Agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times, upon not less than twenty four (24) hours prior written or telephonic notice (except in the case of an emergency, for which no notice shall be required), and subject to Tenant's reasonable security arrangements, for the purpose of inspecting the same or showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants or to alter (in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease), improve, maintain and repair the Premises or the Building as required or permitted of Landlord under the terms hereof, or for any other business purpose, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned (except for actual damages resulting from the sole active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord); and Tenant shall permit Landlord to post notices of non-responsibility and ordinary "for sale" or, during the last nine (9) months of the Term, "for lease," signs. No such entry shall be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises. Landlord may temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure in the case of an emergency and when Landlord otherwise deems such closure necessary.

22. DESTRUCTION AND DAMAGE

    (a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option:

         (i) In the event of total destruction (which shall mean destruction or damage in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises, elect either to commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or not to repair or restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the date (the "Casualty Discovery Date") Landlord obtains actual knowledge of such destruction. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such total destruction.

19


        (ii) I n the event of a partial destruction (which shall mean destruction or damage to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises for which Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost to repair and restore such partial destruction and, if the damage thereto is such that the Premises may be substantially repaired or restored to its condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty Discovery Date, Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair and restoration, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If such repair and restoration requires longer than one hundred eighty (180) days or if the insurance proceeds therefor (plus any amounts Tenant may elect or is obligated to contribute) are not sufficient to cover the cost of such repair and restoration, Landlord may elect either to so repair and restore, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or not to repair or restore, in which event the Lease shall terminate. In either case, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial destruction.

        (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, in the event of damage to the Premises occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice of such election given to the other party within thirty (30) days after the Casualty Discovery Date, provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 22(a)(iii) only if Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises are materially interfered with as a result of such damage.

    (b) If the Premises are damaged by any peril not covered by extended coverage insurance, and the cost to repair such damage exceeds any amount Tenant may agree to contribute, Landlord may elect either to commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or not to repair or restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date on which Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord, except that if the damage to the Premises materially impairs Tenant's ability to continue its business operations in the Premises, then this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date such damage occurred.

    (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 22, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, exercisable by notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery Date in each of the following instances:

         (i) If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value of the Building or the Project is damaged or destroyed, regardless of whether or not the Premises are destroyed.

        (ii) If the Building or the Projector any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed and the repair and restoration of such damage requires longer than one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty Discovery Date.

        (iii) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed and the insurance proceeds therefor are not sufficient to cover the costs of repair and restoration.

        (iv) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the Term.

    (d) If the Premises is damaged or destroyed to the extent that the Premises cannot be substantially repaired or restored by Landlord within two hundred seventy (270) days after the Casualty Discovery Date, Tenant may terminate this Lease immediately upon notice thereof to Landlord, which

20


notice shall be given, if at all, not later than fifteen (15) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord's estimate of the period of time required to repair such damage or destruction.

    (e) In the event of repair and restoration as herein provided, the monthly installments of Base Rent shall be abated proportionately in the ratio which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair or restoration; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to such abatement to the extent that such damage or destruction resulted from the acts or inaction of Tenant or Tenant's Agents. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to abatement of Base Rent, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for, and hereby releases Landlord and Landlord's Agents from responsibility for and waives its entire claim of recovery for any cost, loss or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the repair or restoration thereof, including, without limitation, any cost, loss or expense resulting from any loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair or restoration.

    (f)  Tenant shall promptly repair and restore, at Tenant's expense, Tenant's Alterations which were not constructed by Landlord.

    (g) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(2) and Section 1933(4) which permit termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased premises, and the provisions of any similar law now or hereinafter in effect, and the provisions of this Paragraph 22 shall govern exclusively in case of such destruction.

23. CONDEMNATION

    (a) If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either the Premises, the Building or the Project or the parking areas for the Building or the Project is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful governmental power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation, inverse condemnation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking (each such event being referred to as a "Condemnation"), Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease as of the date title vests in the condemning party. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is taken and if the Premises remaining after such Condemnation and any repairs by Landlord would be untenantable for the conduct of Tenant's business operations, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date title vests in the condemning party. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as provided herein, such election shall be made by written notice to the other party given within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of such Condemnation have been finally determined. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease to the extent permitted above, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises, to the extent of any Condemnation award received by Landlord, to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such Condemnation, allowing for the reasonable effects of such Condemnation, and a proportionate abatement shall be made to the Base Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the portion of the floor area of the Premises (adjusted for any increase thereto resulting from any reconstruction) of which, Tenant is deprived on account of such Condemnation and restoration, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to abatement of Base Rent, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for, and hereby releases Landlord and Landlord's Agents from responsibility for and waives its entire claim of recovery for any cost, loss or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result of any Condemnation or the repair or restoration of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the parking areas for the Building or the Project following such Condemnation, including, without limitation, any cost, loss or expense resulting from any loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises, the Building, the Project or the parking areas and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Condemnation, repair or restoration. The provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, which allows either party to petition the Superior

21


Court to terminate the Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the parking areas for the Building or the Project, and any other applicable law now or hereafter enacted, are hereby waived by Tenant.

    (b) Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with any Condemnation, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award separately allocated by the condemning authority to Tenant for Tenant's relocation expenses or the value of Tenant's Property (specifically excluding fixtures, Alterations and other components of the Premises which under this Lease or by law are or at the expiration of the Term will become the property of Landlord), provided that such award does not reduce any award otherwise allocable or payable to Landlord.

24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

    (a) Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law, (i) mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest herein, (ii) assign or transfer this Lease or any interest herein, sublease the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any other person (the employees and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that (A) Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease nor is any event then occurring which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default hereunder, and (B) the proposed transfer is not an assignment or a sublease under a previous assignment or an existing sublease. When Tenant requests Landlord's consent to such assignment or subletting, it shall notify Landlord in writing of the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and shall provide (1) a fully completed Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate for such assignee or subtenant in the form of Exhibit D hereto, and (2) current and prior financial statements for the proposed assignee or subtenant, which financial statements shall be audited to the extent available and shall in any event be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement, including all material terms and conditions thereo
