In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of net Monthly Rent while such restoration takes place, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the restoration efforts interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises, as reasonably agreed upon between Tenant and Landlord. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant as to the amount of any rent reduction hereunder shall be resolved by independent arbitration. If it is anticipated by the Landlord that such restoration cannot be completed within one hundred eight (180) days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the estimated repair period; provided, however, this one hundred eight (180) day period will be extended to the extent of any delay caused by force majeure, up to and including an additional one hundred twenty (120) days. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of the estimated repair period as soon as reasonably possible following the damage or destruction. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease as permitted herein, Landlord shall promptly commence the process of obtaining the necessary permits and approvals and repair the Premises and the Tenant Improvements. If, however, this Lease is terminated and Tenant is not otherwise in default hereunder, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the Security Deposit then held by Landlord and any Rent previously paid by Tenant which is allocable to the period after the date of damage or destruction.

22.2 Partial Damage - Uninsured. If the Premises are damaged by a risk not covered by Landlord, or the proceeds of available insurance are less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the cost of restoration, or the restoration cannot be completed within one hundred eight (180) days after the commencement of work, in the reasonable opinion of the registered architect or engineer appointed by Landlord for such determination, then Landlord shall have the option either to: (i) repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect, but the net Monthly Rent to be proportionately abated as provided in Paragraph 22.1; or (ii) give notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after such damage terminative this Lease as of a date to be specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after giving such notice. If notice of termination is given, this Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on such date so specified in such notice and the Monthly Rent, reduced by any proportionate reduction based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the use of the Premises by Tenant, shall be paid to the date of such termination; provided, however, that if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease due to an insufficiency in the insurance proceeds available to complete restoration of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to contribute the amount of any shortfall in insurance proceeds and in such event Landlord shall restore the Premises. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant's election within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord has notified Tenant of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease. If it is anticipated by Landlord that such restoration cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after commencement of work, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the estimated repair period; provided, however, this one hundred eighty (180) day period will be extended to the extent of any delay caused by force majeure, up to and including an additional one hundred twenty (120) days. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of the estimated repair period as soon as reasonably possible following the damage or destruction. If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminate this Lease as permitted herein, Landlord shall promptly commence the process of obtaining the necessary permits and approvals and repair the Premises and the Tenant Improvements. If, however, this Lease is terminated by either party and Tenant is not otherwise in default hereunder, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the Security Deposit then held by Landlord and any Rent previously paid by Tenant which is allocable to the period after the date of damage or destruction.

22.3 Total Destruction. If the Premises are totally destroyed or the Premises cannot be reasonably restored under applicable laws and regulations or due to the presence of hazardous factors such as earthquake faults, chemical waste and similar dangers, notwithstanding the availability of insurance proceeds, this Lease shall be terminated effective the date of the damage.

22.4 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any restoration or replacement of any panelings, decorations, partitions, railings, floor coverings, office fixtures which are Alternations or Personal Property installed in the Premises by Tenant or at the expense of Tenant, including Tenant's Tenant Improvement Work. Tenant shall be required to restore or replace the same excluding those Tenant Improvements defined in the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto. Except for abatement of Monthly Rent, if any, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration; not shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as the result of any statutory provision now or hereafter in effect pertaining to the damage and destruction of the Premises, except as expressly provided herein.

22.5 Damage Near End of Term. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Premises are destroyed or significantly damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then Landlord may cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. If Landlord does not elect to so terminate this Lease, the repair of such damage shall be governed by the other provisions of this Paragraph 22.

23. Condemnation. If title to all of the Premises or so much thereof is taken or appropriated for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain so that reconstruction of the Premises will not, in Landlord's and Tenant's mutual reasonable judgment, result in the Premises being suitable for Tenant's continued occupancy for the uses and purposes permitted by this Lease, this Lease shall terminate as of the date that possession of the Premises or Building or part thereof be taken, provided that if the parties disagree, the Lease shall not terminate and the issue as to whether the remaining Premises are suitable for Tenant's continued occupancy for the uses permitted by this Lease shall be submitted into arbitration. A sale by Landlord to any authority having the power of eminent domain, either under threat of condemnation or while condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed a taking under the power of eminent domain for all purposes of this paragraph. If any part of the Premises is taken and the remaining part is reasonably suitable for Tenant's continued occupancy for the purposes and uses permitted by this Lease, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date that possession of such part of the Premises is taken. If the Premises is so partially taken, the Rent and other sums payable hereunder shall be reduced in the same proportion that Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises is reduced. If the parties disagree as to the suitability of the Premises for Tenant's continued occupancy or the amount of any applicable Rent reduction, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned. Tenant assigns to Landlord its interest in any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant arising in or to the same or any part thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or require Tenant to assign to Landlord any separate award made to Tenant for the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, for the interruption of Tenant's business, or its moving costs, or for the loss of its good will. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to any abatement of Rent except to the extent of interference with Tenant's use of the Premises; provided, however, that in any event Rent shall not be abated if Tenant is separately and directly compensated for such interference by the condemning authority. Any award made to Tenant by reason of such temporary taking shall belong entirely to Tenant and Landlord shall not be entitled to share therein. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other all instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph.

24. Assignment and Subletting.

24.1 Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not enter into a Sublet without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted or purported Sublet without Landlord's prior written consent shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person and shall be deemed a material default of this Lease. Each Subtenant shall agree in writing, for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Tenant shall not be released from liability for the performance of each term, condition and covenant of this Lease by reason of Landlord's consent to a Sublet unless Landlord specifically grants such release in writing.

24.2 Information to be Furnished. If Tenant desires at any time to Sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name of the proposed subtenant: (ii) the nature of the proposed Subtenant's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed Sublet and a copy of the proposed Sublet form containing a description of the subject premises; and (iv) such financial information, including financial statements, as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed Subtenant.

24.3 Landlord's Alternatives. At any time within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of the information specified in Paragraph 24.2, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect: (i) to consent to the Sublet by Tenant; (ii) to refuse its consent to the Sublet; or (iii) to terminate this Lease. If Landlord consents to the Sublet, Tenant may thereafter enter into a valid Sublet of the Premises or portion thereof, upon the terms and conditions and with the proposed Subtenant set forth in the information furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 24.2.

24.4 Executed Counterpart. No Sublet shall be valid nor shall any Subtenant take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the Sublet agreement has been delivered to Landlord.

24.5 Exempt Sublets. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord's prior written consent shall not be required for a Sublet to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent corporation of Tenant, a corporation or partnership into which Tenant merges or consolidates, or a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided that Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice of the name of any such Subtenant and, in the event of an assignment (i) the assignee has a net worth, at the time of such assignment, that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment, and (ii) the assignee assumes, in writing, for the benefit of Landlord all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease.

24.6 Sublet Profits. If the Rent received by Tenant from any Sublet exceeds the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord monthly as Additional Rent.

25. Default.

25.1 Tenant's Default. A default under this Lease by Tenant shall exist if any of the following events shall occur:

25.1.1 If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other sum required to be paid hereunder within three (3) days after written notice from Landlord; provided, however, that such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required pursuant to any State of California Civil Code Sections regarding unlawful detainer actions; or

25.1.2 If Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of money, and Tenant shall have failed to cure such breach within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord, where such breach could reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that where such failure could not reasonably be cured within the ten (10) day period, that Tenant shall not be in default it if commences such performance within the ten (10) day period and diligently thereafter prosecutes the same to completion; or

25.1.3 If Tenant assigns its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or

25.1.4 If a court shall make or enter any decree or order other than under the bankruptcy laws of the United states adjudging Tenant to be insolvent; or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Tenant; or directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant and such decree or order shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days.

25.2 Remedies. Upon a default, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:

25.2.1 Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due.

25.2.2 Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time by written notice in accordance with applicable laws, and upon such termination relet the Premises or any part thereof. On termination, Landlord has the right to remove all Tenant's Personal Property and store same at Tenant's cost and to recover from Tenant as damages:

(a) The worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(d) Any other amount necessary which is to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs of expenses incurred by Landlord; (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, or rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or tenants: (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus

(e) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of California.

The worth at the time of award of the amounts referred to in Paragraphs 25.2.2(a) and 25.2.2(b) is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate on the unpaid rent and other sums due and payable from the termination date through the date of award. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in Paragraph 25.2.2(c) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

25.2.3 Landlord may, upon termination of this Lease in accordance with applicable laws, re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.

25.3 Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of such default; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion.
