Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Inphi Corporation (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in November 2000. The Company is a fabless provider of high-speed mixed signal semiconductor solutions for the communications and computing markets. The Company’s end-to-end data transport platform delivers high signal at leading-edge data speeds, addressing performance and bandwidth bottlenecks in networks, from fiber to memory. The Company’s semiconductor solutions minimize latency in computing environments and enable the rollout of next generation communications and computing infrastructures. The Company’s solutions provide a vital high-speed interface between analog signals and digital information in high-performance systems such as telecommunications transport systems, enterprise networking equipment, datacenter and enterprise servers and storage platforms.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2012.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at September 30, 2012, and its consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to its accounting guidance on fair value measurement. The amendments provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments change certain fair value measurement principles and enhance the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, FASB issued an amendment to its accounting guidance on comprehensive income. The amendments require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has elected to present the components of comprehensive income as a separate statement. In December 2011, the FASB issued amendments to defer the presentation on the face of the financial statements the reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented.

As of September 30, 2012, we had 8 investments that were in an unrealized loss position. The gross unrealized losses on these investments at September 30, 2012 of $9 were determined to be temporary in nature. The Company reviews the investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2012 are presented in the following table:

The Company also began to assess, provide and accumulate additional warranty reserves based on estimated, probable costs to replace units.

In March 2010, the Company developed additional tests to screen out the wafer die that might be susceptible to a suspected type of failure ultimately related to the lack of a manufacturing process design rule and resumed shipments to the customer. Based on its standard warranty provisions, the Company has provided replacement parts to the customer for the known and suspected failures that had occurred.

In 2012, based on additional review investigation and discussions with the customer, the Company booked an additional warranty accrual of $750. This amount was recorded as a reduction to revenue. In June 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the customer in which the Company paid $1,750 cash in July 2012 to settle this claim.

8. Income Taxes

The Company normally determines its interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the discrete method was used to calculate the Company’s interim tax expense. The Company had determined that a calculation of an annual effective tax rate would not represent a reliable estimate due to the sensitivity of the annual effective tax rate estimate to even minimal changes to forecasted earnings for the year. Under the discrete method, the Company determines its tax expense based upon actual year-to-date results. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company used the estimated annual effective tax rate method to compute its interim tax expense. The Company determined that the estimated annual effective tax rate was no longer sensitive to minimal changes to forecasted earnings for the year and that it provided a reliable estimate of the interim period tax provision.

The Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $471 and ($453) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $(725) and $424, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was (81%) and 10%, respectively from 22% and 16% in the comparable periods of 2011, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates and the 35% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from foreign income taxes provided at lower rates, geographic mix in operating results, recognition of research and development credits, unrecognized tax benefits and stock-based compensation adjustments.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the gross amount of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits increased approximately $398 and $1,045, respectively as a result of tax positions taken during the current year. Substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of September 30, 2012, the Company does not expect any significant increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its controlled foreign corporations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside the United States.

In October 2012, the Company received notification from the California Franchise Tax Board that the 2009 and 2010 California tax returns will be examined. The Company believes it has adequate reserve for its uncertain tax positions, however, there is no assurance that the taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that are different from the Company’s expected outcome and such adjustments may impact the provision for income taxes.

10. Stock–Based Compensation

In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2000 Plan”). Under the provisions of the 2000 Plan, employees, outside directors, consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Company may be issued incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock or may be issued shares of common stock directly. The Board of Directors is authorized to administer the 2000 Plan and establish the stock option terms, including the exercise price and vesting period. Options granted under the plan may have varying vesting schedules; however, options generally vest 25% upon completion of one year of service and thereafter in 36 equal monthly installments. Options granted are immediately exercisable and the shares issued upon exercise of the option are subject to a repurchase right held by the Company. The repurchase price under the repurchase right is the original exercise price and the right lapses in accordance with the option-vesting schedule. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no unvested shares outstanding subject to the Company’s right of repurchase. The proceeds received from the unvested early exercise of options are presented in the balance sheet as liabilities and subsequently classified to equity based on the vesting schedule. The vesting of certain options granted or shares issued under the 2000 Plan is subject to acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the 2000 Plan.

Under the 2000 Plan, the exercise price, in the case of an incentive stock option, can-not be less than 100%, and in the case of a nonqualified stock option, not less than 85%, of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The term of the option is determined by the Board but in no case can exceed 10 years.

In June 2010, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which became effective in November 2010. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, shares originally reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan but which were not issued or subject to outstanding grants on the effective date of the 2010 Plan, and shares subject to outstanding options or forfeiture restriction under the 2000 Plan on the effective date of the 2010 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated before being exercised, become available for awards under the 2010 Plan, up to 428,571 shares. The 2010 Plan provides for the grants of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock unit awards to employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. The Board of Directors administers the 2010 Plan, including the determination of the recipient of an award, the number of shares subject to each award, whether an option is to be classified as an incentive stock option or nonstatutory option, and the terms and conditions of each award, including the exercise and purchase prices and the vesting or duration of the award. Options granted under the 2010 Plan are exercisable only upon vesting. At September 30, 2012, 1,659,086 shares of common stock have been reserved for future grants under the 2010 Plan.

Stock Option Awards

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The intrinsic value of options outstanding, exercisable and vested and expected to vest is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the respective balance sheet dates.

The total grant date fair value of employee options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2,612 and $2,499, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $6.48 and $11.16, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $6,385 and $43,850, respectively. The intrinsic value of exercised options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the exercise date. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1,644 and $4,194, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Restricted Stock Units and Awards

The Company granted restricted stock units and awards to members of the Board of Directors and employees. Most of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units vest over four years with vesting contingent upon continuous service. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock units and awards using the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes information regarding outstanding restricted stock units:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In December 2011, the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Participants purchase the Company’s stock using payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of their total cash compensation. Pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, the “look-back” period for the stock purchase price is six months. Offering and purchase periods will begin on February 10 and August 10 of each year. Participants will be granted the right to purchase common stock at a price per share that is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common shares at the beginning or the end of each six-month period.

The ESPP imposes certain limitations upon an employee’s right to acquire common stock, including the following: (i) no employee shall be granted a right to participate if such employee immediately after the election to purchase common stock, would own stock possessing 5% or more to the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company, and (ii) no employee may be granted rights to purchase more than $25 fair value of common stock for each calendar year. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is one million shares. Total common stock issued under the ESPP during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 101,088.

The fair value of employee stock purchase plan is estimated at the start of offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, restricted stock units and awards at September 30, 2012, prior to the consideration of expected forfeitures, is approximately $33,348 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.93 years.

11. Fair Value Measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 : Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, or

Level 3 : Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The Company measures its investments in marketable securities at fair value using the market approach, which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company has cash equivalents which consist of money market funds valued using the amortized cost method, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act which approximates fair value.

The Company determines the amount of transfers between Levels 1 and 2 or transfers into or out of Level 3 by using the end-of-period fair value. The Company had no transfers among the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

These infringement claims allege that the Company’s iMB™ and certain other memory module components infringe the patents-in-suit. The Company answered the amended complaint on February 11, 2010 and asserted that the Company does not infringe the patents-in-suit and that the patents-in-suit are invalid. In 2010, Company filed inter partes requests for reexamination with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), asserting that the patents-in-suit are invalid.

On August 27, 2010, the USPTO ordered the request for Inter Partes Reexamination for U.S. Patent No. 7,636,274 and found a substantial new question of patentability based upon each of the different issues that the Company raised as the reexamination requestor. On September 27, 2011, the Patent Office issued a First Office Action based on the Netlist ’274 Patent Reexamination Request and rejected 91 of its 97 claims. On October 27, 2011, Netlist responded to the USPTO determination by amending some but not all of the claims, adding new claims and making arguments as to the validity of the rejected claims in view of the cited references. The Company provided rebuttable comments to the USPTO on November 28, 2011. On March 12, 2012, the Examiner issued an Action Closing Prosecution, indicating that the claims pending contain allowable subject matter, and Netlist did not respond to the Action Closing Prosecution in the time provided by the USPTO. On June 22, 2012, the USPTO issued a Right of Appeal Notice, and on July 23, 2012, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal. The Company filed its Appeal Brief on September 24, 2012 and Netlist filed its Responsive Brief on October 24, 2012. The parties are awaiting a further communication from the USPTO as the next substantive step of the proceeding. The proceeding is expected to continue in accordance with established Inter Partes Reexamination procedures.

On September 8, 2010, the USPTO ordered the request for Inter Partes Reexamination for U.S. Patent No. 7,532,537 and found a substantial new question of patentability based upon different issues that the Company raised as the reexamination requestor. The USPTO accompanied this Reexamination Order of U.S. Patent No. 7,532,537 with its own evaluation of the validity of this patent, and rejected some but not all of claims. In a response dated October 8, 2010, Netlist responded to the USPTO determination by amending some but not all of the claims, adding new claims and making arguments as to why the claims were not invalid in view of the cited references. The Company provided rebuttable comments to the USPTO on November 8, 2010 along with a Petition requesting an increase in the number of allowed pages of the rebuttable comments. On January 20, 2011, the USPTO granted the Petition in part. The Company then filed updated rebuttal comments on January 27, 2011 in compliance with the granted Petition. The USPTO has considered these updated rebuttal comments, and in a communication dated June 15, 2011, continued to reject all the previously rejected claims. The USPTO also rejected all the claims newly added in the October 8, 2010 Netlist response. In a further communication dated June 21, 2011, the USPTO issued an Action Closing Prosecution indicating that it would confirm the patentability of four claims and reject all the other pending claims. On August 22, 2011, Netlist responded to the Action Closing Prosecution by further amending some claims and making arguments as to the validity of the rejected claims in view of the cited references. The Company submitted rebuttal comments on September 21, 2011. In a further communication dated February 7, 2012, the USPTO issued a Right of Appeal Notice, which also indicated that the previous amendments to claim made by Netlist would be entered, and that the current pending claims, as amended, were patentable. The Company filed a Notice of Appeal at the USPTO on March 8, 2012, within the time period provided for filing the Notice of Appeal and Netlist did not file Notice of Cross-Appeal. The Company filed its Appeal Brief on May 8, 2012, and Netlist filed its Responsive Brief on July 2, 2012. The parties are awaiting a further communication from the USPTO as the next substantive step of the proceeding. The proceeding is expected to continue in accordance with established Inter Partes Reexamination procedures.

On September 8, 2010, the USPTO ordered the request for Inter Partes Reexamination for U.S. Patent No. 7,619,912 and found a substantial new question of patentability based upon different issues that the Company raised as the reexamination requestor. The USPTO accompanied this Reexamination Order of U.S. Patent No. 7,619,912 with its own evaluation of the validity of this patent, and initially determined that all of the claims were patentable based upon the Company’s request for Inter Partes Reexamination. Netlist did not comment upon this Reexamination Order. The USPTO on February 28, 2011 also merged the Proceedings of the Company’s Reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 7,619,912, bearing Control No. 90/001,339 with Inter Partes Reexamination Proceeding 95/000,578 filed October 20, 2010 on behalf of SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. and Inter Partes Reexamination Proceeding 95/000,579 filed October 21, 2010 on behalf of Google, Inc. In each of these other Reexamination Proceedings, the USPTO had indicated that there existed a substantial new question of patentability with respect to certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,619,912, but had not accompanied the Reexamination Orders related thereto with its own evaluation of the validity of this patent, indicating that such evaluation would be forthcoming at a later time. This further evaluation was received in an Office Action dated April 4, 2011, in which the Examiner rejected a substantial majority of the claims based upon a number of different rejections, including certain of the rejections originally proposed by the Company in its Request for Reexamination. This Office Action also indicated that one claim was deemed to be patentable over the prior art of record in the merged Reexamination Proceedings. After seeking and obtaining an extension of time to respond to the Office Action dated April 4, 2011, Netlist served its response on July 5, 2011, which added new claims and made arguments as to why the originally filed claims were not invalid in view of the cited references. Each of the merged Reexamination Requestors, including the Company, submitted rebuttal comments by August 29, 2011. The USPTO considered this Netlist response and each of the rebuttal comments, and in an Office Action dated October 14, 2011, continued to reject most, but not

all of the previously rejected claims, as well as rejected claims that had been added by Netlist in its July 5, 2011 response. After seeking and obtaining an extension of time to respond to the Office Action dated October 14, 2011, Netlist served its response on January 13, 2012, which response made amendments based upon subject matter that had been indicated as allowable in the Office Action dated October 14, 2011, added other new claims and made arguments as to why all of these claims should be allowed. The three different merged Reexamination Requestors, including the Company, timely submitted rebuttal comments on or about February 13, 2012. The merged Reexamination Proceeding will be conducted in accordance with established procedures for merged Reexamination Proceedings, with a further communication from the USPTO expected as the next substantive step.

The reexamination proceedings could result in a determination that the patents-in-suit, in whole or in part, are valid or invalid, as well as modifications of the scope of the patents-in-suit.

Based on these papers the Court in January 2012 ordered a continued stay of the proceedings until the conclusion of the reexamination and interference proceedings, and in the meantime requested that the parties file papers by January 30, 2013 stating their position on whether the stay should be extended. At this time, the Court could decide to maintain or lift the stay.

On March 29, 2012, the Company received notice of a lawsuit, entitled Claim for Confirmation of Invalidation of Dismissal etc., filed in an international jurisdiction by a former employee. The Company was subsequently served with the complaint in April 2012. Legal and other expenses and accrual of costs related to this and other matters are reflected in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2012. The lawsuit was withdrawn in June 2012 and the claim was settled in July 2012.

While the Company intends to defend the foregoing lawsuits vigorously, litigation, whether or not determined in the Company’s favor or settled, could be costly and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company is unable to assess the possible outcome of these matters. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third-parties. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

14. Related Party Transactions

In 2007, the Company entered into a software subscription and maintenance agreement with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”), a related party company. A member of the Company’s Board of Directors is also the Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of Cadence. The Company committed to pay $7,000 payable in 16 quarterly payments through May 2011. In December 2010, the software subscription and maintenance agreement was renewed effective June 30, 2011. Under the new agreement, the Company committed to pay $5,250 payable in 10 quarterly payments through November 2013. In June 2012, the software subscription and maintenance agreement was amended to include new licensed materials effective on September 28, 2012 and will expire on December 31, 2013. Under this amendment, the Company committed to pay $2,129 payable in 5 quarterly payments through November 2013. The Company paid $1,500 and $1,737 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Operating lease expense related to the agreements included in research and development expense was $500 and $1,542 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Operating lease expense related to the agreements included in research and development expense was $550 and $1,533 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

15. Subsequent Events

Stock Option Exchange Offer

On September 20, 2012, the Company commenced an offering to eligible employees to voluntarily exchange certain vested and unvested stock option grants. Under the program, eligible employees holding options to purchase the Company’s common stock were given the opportunity to exchange certain of their existing options, with exercise prices at or above $16.63 per share for a predetermined smaller number of stock options to be granted following the expiration of the tender offer with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock on the day the new awards were issued. Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 508,399 shares with exercise prices ranging from $16.63 to $22.07 were eligible for tender at the commencement of the program. The Company’s directors and executive officers are not eligible to participate in the program. The program is structured as a value-neutral exchange. The replacement awards would be targeted at providing value that is, in the aggregate, not greater than the fair value of the exchanged stock options. This means that the employees who participate in the program are expected to receive a number of replacement awards with an aggregate value that does not exceed the aggregate value of the stock options surrendered in the exchange. The terms and conditions of the new options, including the vesting schedules, will be substantially the same as the terms and conditions of the options cancelled.

On October 19, 2012, the offer period ended and the Company accepted for exchange and cancellation 464,899 vested and unvested eligible options to purchase common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $21.06. In exchange, the Company issued 353,779 vested and unvested options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $8.93, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 22, 2012.

Building Lease

In October 2012, the Company and its lessor amended the lease agreement for the office space in Westlake Village, California to expand the leased space by 11,432 square feet for sixty months starting January 1, 2013. In addition, the term of the lease for the current office space was extended by one year through December 31, 2017. The amended lease agreement will increase the future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases having initial terms in excess of one year as follows:

Quarterly Update

As discussed in more detail below, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we delivered the following financial performance:

 

   

Total revenue increased by $8.3 million, or 50%, to $24.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total revenues increased by $6.3 million, or 10%, to $68.3 million.

 

   

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 64.7% from 60.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2012. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 64.1% from 63.8%.

 

   

Total operating expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 26%, to $16.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total operating expenses increased by $11.8 million, or 32%, to $49.0 million.

 

   

Loss from operations decreased by $2.7 million, or 77%, to a loss from operations of $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, income from operations decreased by $7.6 million, or 323%, to a loss from operations of $5.3 million.

 

   

Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.06 to ($0.04) in the three months ended September 30, 2012. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.23 to ($0.15).

The increase in our revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was a result of an increase in demand for our high speed memory interface products, transimpedance- amplifiers and isolation memory buffer.

Total operating expenses increased due primarily to an increase in headcount and stock-based compensation expense. Our expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, which include compensation, benefits, payroll related taxes and stock-based compensation. From October 2011 to September 2012, we hired 62 new employees, primarily in the engineering department. We expect expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest resources to develop more products and to support the growth of our business. Our diluted earnings per share changed primarily due to fluctuations in revenues and operating expenses.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $31.7 million at September 30, 2012, compared with $29.7 million at December 31, 2011. We generated cash flow from operations of $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $5.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $8.5 million primarily due to purchases of marketable securities and purchases of property and equipment offset by sales and maturities of marketable securities. We generated cash flow from financing activities of $4.5 million primarily due to proceeds from exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan of $2.6 million and excess tax benefit of stock-based compensation of $2.1 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to allowances for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill valuation, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, litigation and other loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased primarily due to increases in revenue as described above. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2012 was due to a write off of developed technology intangible asset of our Taiwan subsidiary as a result of restructuring of our Taiwan subsidiary in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was unchanged for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to prior year.

Research and development expenses for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased due to the increase in research and development headcount and equity awards, which resulted in $2.3 million and $5.2 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation expense, respectively. In addition, packaging and pre-production engineering mask costs increased by $0.4 million and $1.5 million, and consulting fees increased by $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in research and development expense was primarily driven by our strategy to expand our product offerings and enhance our existing products. Specifically, we accelerated the development of our products for next generation communications networks and high-speed memory interfaces.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities of $122.7 million. Our primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, purchase inventory and acquire property and equipment. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the changes in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our primary sources of cash are cash receipts on accounts receivable from our revenue. Aside from the growth in amounts billed to our customers, net cash collections of accounts receivable are impacted by the efficiency of our cash collections process, which can vary from period to period, depending on the payment cycles of our major customers.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily reflected an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.3 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $0.5 million, decrease in inventory of $1.1 million, change in income tax payable/receivable of $0.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $3.1 million, stock-based compensation of $9.3 million, amortization of premium in marketable securities of $0.9 million offset by net loss of $4.1 million and increases in accounts receivable of $3.6 million, deferred income taxes of $1.3 million and excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation of $2.1 million. Our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased as a result of increased production volume, provision for warranty costs, employment and other related claims. Our deferred revenue increased as distributors increased their inventory level for shipment to customers in fourth quarter. Our inventory decreased due to shipments to customers in the last month of the quarter. Our receivables increased due to shipments made in the last month of the quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily reflected net income of $2.2 million, change in income tax payable/receivable of $5.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, stock-based compensation of $4.9 million and assets written off of $1.5 million, offset by increases to inventories of $1.7 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.7 million, decreases to accounts payable of $0.5 million and deferred revenue of $0.9 million, deferred income taxes of $5.0 million and excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation of $2.7 million. Our inventories increased as a result of growing production for expected delivery to customers in the fourth quarter of 2011. Our prepaid expenses and other assets increased as a result of new subscriptions with vendors and related prepayments. Our accounts payable decreased due to payments to vendors. Our deferred revenue decreased as distributors reduced their inventory levels and shipped parts to end customers to meet their demand.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consisted of cash used to purchase property and equipment of $6.7 million and purchases of marketable securities of $33.7 million, offset by sales and maturities of marketable securities of $31.7 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities consisted of cash used to purchase investments in marketable securities of $97.5 million and property and equipment of $4.5 million mainly for laboratory equipment and leasehold improvements for our offices in California, offset by sales and maturities of marketable securities of $8.3 million.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of proceeds from exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan of $2.6 million and excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation of $2.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted primarily of $2.7 million excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation, net proceeds from secondary offering of $1.0 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $4.2 million. In addition, we also paid $1.1 million of expenses related to our initial public offering.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Our principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2012 consisted of $122.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities, of which $5.4 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents from operations will be sufficient to finance our operational cash needs through at least the next 12 to 18 months. In the future, we expect our operating and capital expenditures to increase as we increase headcount, expand our business activities and grow our end customer base which will result in higher needs for working capital. Our ability to generate cash from operations is also subject to substantial risks described in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. If any of these risks occur, we may be unable to generate or sustain positive cash flow from operating activities. We would then be required to use existing cash and cash equivalents to support our working capital and other cash requirements. If additional funds are required to support our working capital requirements, acquisitions or other purposes, we may seek to raise funds through debt financing or from other sources. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operating flexibility, and would also require us to incur interest expense. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available at all or, if available, that we would be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities of $122.7 million and $119.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which was held for working capital purposes. Our exposure to market interest-rate risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge the market risks of our investments. We manage our total portfolio to encompass a diversified pool of investment-grade securities to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. We place our investments with high-quality issuers, money market funds and debt securities. Our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2012 consisted of money market funds, U.S. Treasuries, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit, and asset backed securities. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to an increase in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or if the decline in fair value of our publicly traded debt investments is judged to be other-than-temporary. We may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because any debt securities we hold are classified as available-for-sale, no gains or losses are realized in the income statement due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or unless declines in value are determined to be other-than-temporary. These securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Although, we currently expect that our ability to access or liquidate these investments as needed to support our business activities will continue, we cannot ensure that this will not change.

In a low interest rate environment, as short-term investments mature, reinvestment may occur at less favorable market rates. Given the short-term nature of certain investments, the current interest rate environment may negatively impact our investment income.

Foreign Currency Risk

To date, our international customer and vendor agreements have been denominated almost exclusively in United States dollars. Accordingly, we have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and do not currently enter into foreign currency hedging transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Under this Agreement Customer can: (i) acquire licenses for a specific number of Licensed Materials and related Documentation on either a Subscription or 99-year License basis, and (ii) obtain Maintenance Services for the Licensed Materials pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. For Software licensed on a Subscription basis, Customer shall be permitted to Use the Software on a wide area network (“WAN”) basis as described in the applicable Product Quotation. For any Software acquired by Customer through an authorized Cadence reseller the following provisions of this Agreement shall not apply: 4, 6, 13.3(b) and 13.3(c). While Cadence shall remain the “licensor” for purposes of the grant of the licenses and other rights hereunder, and Customer shall remain the “licensee” for purposes of the obligations contained herein, Customer shall contract directly with the reseller for the purchase of License Keys and any Maintenance Services on Software provided by such authorized Cadence reseller.

 

3. LICENSE GRANT

(a) Grant : Subject to Customer’s timely payment of the Fees as set forth in Section 4 and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 3(c), Cadence, either directly or by and through one of its affiliates, hereby grants Customer, for the Term of Use as specified in each Product Quotation, a non-transferable, non-exclusive, licensee to: (i) Use the quantity of Licensed Materials identified in the applicable Product Quotation on the Designated Equipment as established by the number of License Keys issued for the Licensed Materials; and (ii) Use the Documentation as is reasonably necessary for Customer’s licensed Use of the Licensed Materials. All rights not expressly granted to Customer pursuant to this Agreement are reserved by Cadence.

(b) Limitations : All rights, title and interest in the Licensed Materials shall remain the exclusive property of Cadence and/or its licensors. The Licensed Materials are the confidential and proprietary property of Cadence or third parties from whom Cadence has obtained the appropriate rights. Customer shall not Use or copy the Licensed Materials except as expressly permitted herein. Customer may only Use those Licensed Materials specified in the applicable Product Quotation. Customer shall not modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse translate or create derivative works from the Licensed Materials or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, or let any third party do so. No right or license is granted or implied under any of Cadence, or its licensors’, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks or other intellectual property rights to Use the Licensed Materials or to authorize others to Use the Licensed Materials beyond the rights and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. By the way of example and not limitation, Customer shall neither use the Software or Design Elements or output of any Software or Design Elements for benchmarking purposes (which means any form of competitive analysis of the Licensed Materials versus competitive tool products), nor permit any third party to do so. Customer shall not remove or alter any of Cadence’s or its licensors’ restrictive or ownership legends appearing on or in the Licensed Materials and shall reproduce such legends on all copies permitted to be made. Customer may periodically Remix the Initial Configuration or the Then Current Configuration only if specified in the Product Quotation and subject to the limitations set forth in the Product Quotation. Upon request by Cadence, Customer shall execute a Certificate of Discontinued Use upon the completion of each Remix for those Licensed Materials that are exchanged or terminated in the Remix.

(c) Restrictions : Customer shall not let the Licensed Materials be accessed or used by third parties or anyone other than Customer’s employees whose duties require such access or use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer’s authorized consultants and subcontractors (excluding any direct competitors of Cadence) may Use the Licensed Materials on the Designated Equipment at a Customer facility only, where such Use is incidental to their performing services on Customer’s behalf. Such Use by authorized consultants and subcontractors must be consistent with the license granted to Customer hereunder and Customer must first require such authorized consultants and subcontractors to sign written agreements obligating them to observe the same restrictions concerning the Licensed Materials as are contained in this Agreement. In connection with activities under this Agreement, Customer may provide to Cadence suggestions, descriptions, data feedback and other information, either orally or in writing (collectively, “Feedback”) concerning the Licensed Materials. Customer hereby grants to Cadence and its affiliates, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable,

royalty-free, worldwide right and license to make, use, sell, reproduce, modify, sublicense, disclose, distribute and otherwise exploit any such Feedback. In addition, Cadence shall be the sole owner of any modifications, additions or other changes made to the Licensed Materials based upon such Feedback. The Licensed Materials may contain certain software applications and portions of applications which are provided to Customer under terms and conditions which are different from this Agreement (such as open source or community source), or which require Cadence to provide Customer with certain notices and/or information (“Excluded Code”). Cadence will identify such Excluded Code in a text file or about box or in a file or files referenced thereby (and shall include any associated license agreement, notices and other related information therein), or the Excluded Code will contain or be accompanied by its own license agreement. Customer’s Use of the Excluded Code will be subject to the terms and conditions of such other license agreement solely to the extent such terms and conditions are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or are required by such other license agreement. By using or not uninstalling such Excluded Code after the initial installation of the Excluded Code Customer acknowledges and agrees to all such license agreements, notices and information.

Past due amounts shall be subject to a monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (1  1 / 2 %) per month of the unpaid balance or the maximum rate allowable by law.

A. eDAcard LICENSING MODEL

 

1. Availability of Licensed Materials: Cadence’s eDAcard licensing model establishes a mechanism whereby Customer may access, select and Use Licensed Materials through Cadence’s web site ( “eDAcard Web Site” ) during the eDAcard activation period. The activation period is defined as beginning on the Activation Period Effective Date and ending on the Activation Period Expiry Date ( “eDAcard Activation Period” ) as set forth on page 1 of this Attachment. Use of the Licensed Materials will be pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Attachment. A list of the available Licensed Materials can be viewed in the eDAcard Web Site. Licenses for the Licensed Materials, which includes Maintenance Services, can be selected for a pre-determined duration (i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or any combination thereof) ( “Term of Use” ). In no event, however, shall the Term of Use for any Licensed Materials licensed during the eDAcard Activation Period extend beyond the Attachment Expiry Date.

 

2. Licensed Materials: Under this Attachment Customer shall only use Licensed Materials available through the eDAcard Web Site.

 

3.

Accessibility of Licensed Materials: Within the later of five (5) days after: (i) the Activation Period Effective Date or (ii) execution of this Attachment by Cadence, Cadence shall forward Customer an eDAcard number ( “eDAcard number” ) to those Customer employees who will be allowed to access the eDAcard Web Site ( “Authorized Users” ). Upon account activation, the Authorized Users will be issued individual login names and passwords ( “Authorized User ID” ) to be used in conjunction with the eDAcard Number. The Authorized User ID will allow the Authorized Users access to the Licensed Materials on the eDAcard Web Site. Following

  the authorized Users selection of Licensed Materials over the eDAcard Web Site, the applicable Fees will be deducted from the eDAcard Balance set forth on page 1 of this Attachment. Customer shall be provided with instructions on how to obtain an authorization key for the Licensed Materials. The ability of the Authorized Users to access the eDAcard Web Site for the purpose of selecting additional Licensed Materials shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) the depletion of the eDAcard Balance; (ii) the Activation Period Expiry Date set forth on page 1 of this Attachment; (iii) termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 5 thereof.

 

4. eDAcard Balance: The Fee structure for Use of the Licensed Materials implementing the eDAcard licensing model are set forth on the Cadence eDAcard Datasheet available on the eDAcard Web Site. The Fees are based upon the one year time-based license (“TBL”) reference price. The Licensed Material price is then adjusted per the eDAcard rate table set forth in the eDAcard Datasheet based upon; (1) the type of Licensed Material licensed, and (2) the Term of Use. Finally, the applicable Customer discount is applied to arrive at the final Fee for the applicable Licensed Materials. The dollar value as set forth in the eDAcard Balance on page 1 of this Attachment represents the amount the Customer has allocated for selecting and Using Licensed Materials accessing the eDAcard Web Site. Upon selection of both the Licensed Materials and the Term of Use, the Fee shall be automatically calculated and debited from the remaining eDAcard Balance. Customer may continue to access the eDAcard Web Site for the purpose of selecting additional Licensed Materials until the eDAcard Balance is depleted. Customer shall forfeit any remaining portion of the eDAcard Balance not utilized during the eDAcard Activation Period. The one year reference (TBL) price for Licensed Materials and/or the eDAcard rate table may be modified at any time by Cadence.

 

5. General Terms: Customer is solely responsible for: (i) managing its Authorized User; and (ii) maintaining the security of all passwords, user IDs and access keys made available by Cadence. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any person who enters an Authorized User ID will be presumed by Cadence to be an Authorized User and have the power and authority to bind Customer to the terms of this Attachment and the Agreement. Cadence will not be under any obligation to verify the identity of any such person. Customer agreed that an order placed through the eDAcard Web Site is the equivalent of a signed Customer purchase order. Customer shall have the right to change, add, or delete Authorized Users upon prior written notice to Cadence. In no event are any licenses issued hereunder cancelable nor are any Fees payable hereunder refundable. Customer hereby waives any future challenge to the validity and enforceability of any order submitted via the eDAcard licensing model on the grounds that it was electronically transmitted and authorized. Customer is responsible for all costs and charges, including without limitation, phone charges and telecommunications equipment, incurred in order to use the eDAcard licensing model.

This Product Quotation Attachment (“ Attachment ”), which is appended to the Software License and Maintenance Agreement referenced on page 1 of this Attachment (“ Agreement ”), contains the terms and conditions for Customer’s Use of Licensed Materials based upon Cadence’s eDAcard Platinum licensing model. This Attachment is a Product Quotation as defined in the Agreement. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Attachment, the terms of the Agreement shall prevail.

 

A. eDAcard LICENSING MODEL

 

1. Availability of Licensed Materials: Cadence’s eDAcard licensing model establishes a mechanism whereby Customer may access, select and Use Licensed Materials through Cadence’s web site (“ eDAcard Web Site ”) during the eDAcard activation period. The activation period is defined as beginning on the Activation Period Effective Date and ending on the Activation Period Expiry Date (“ eDAcard Activation Period ”) as set forth on page 1 of this Attachment. Use of the Licensed Materials will be pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Attachment. A list of the available Licensed Materials can be viewed on the eDAcard Web Site. The Term of Use for licenses for the Licensed Materials, which includes Maintenance Services, can be selected for a pre-determined duration (i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or any combination thereof). In no event, however, shall the Term of Use for any Licensed Materials licensed during the eDAcard Activation Period extend beyond the Attachment Expiry Date.

 

2. Licensed Materials: Customer shall only Use Licensed Materials available through the eDAcard Web Site.

 

3. Accessibility of Licensed Materials: Within the later of five (5) days after: (i) the Activation Period Effective Date or, (ii) execution of this Attachment by Cadence, Cadence shall activate and forward an eDAcard number (“ eDAcard number ”) to those Customer employees who will be allowed to access the eDAcard Web Site (“ Authorized Users ”). Upon account activation, the Authorized Users will be issued individual login names and passwords (“ Authorized User ID ”) to be used in conjunction with the eDAcard Number. The Authorized User ID will allow the Authorized Users access to the Licensed Materials on the eDAcard Web Site. Following the Authorized Users selection of Licensed Materials over the eDAcard Web Site, the applicable Fees will be deducted from the eDAcard Balance set forth on page 1 of this Attachment. Customer shall be provided with instructions on how to obtain an authorization key for the Licensed Materials. The ability of the Authorized Users to access the eDAcard Web Site for the purpose of selecting additional Licensed Materials shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) the depletion of the eDAcard Balance; (ii) the Activation Period Expiry Date set forth on page 1 of this Attachment; or (iii) termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 5 (Term and Termination) thereof.

 

4. eDAcard Balance: The Fee structure for Use of the Licensed Materials implementing the eDAcard licensing model is set forth on the Cadence eDAcard Datasheet available on the eDAcard Web Site. The Fees are based upon the one year time-based license (“ TBL ”) reference price, The Licensed Materials price is then adjusted per the eDAcard rate table set forth in the eDAcard Datasheet based upon: (1) the type of Licensed Materials licensed plus any applicable regional list price adjustments, and (2) the Term of Use. Finally, the applicable Customer discount is applied to arrive at the final Fee for the applicable Licensed Materials. The dollar value as set forth in the eDAcard Balance on page 1 of this Attachment represents the amount the Customer has allocated for selecting and Using Licensed Materials accessing the eDAcard Web Site.

If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on the target commencement date of December 15, 2012, and subject to paragraph 3.2.2, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of the Lease or the obligations of Lessee hereunder or extend the term hereof; but, in such case, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease, until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee, as hereinafter defined; provided, however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered possession of the Premises by February 15, 2013 (“Outside Delivery Date”), as the same may be extended under the terms of a Work Letter executed by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) business days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; and provided further, that if such written notice by Lessee is not received by Lessor within said ten (10)-business day period, Lessee’s right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Lessee shall not interfere with the construction of Lessor’s Work during such early occupancy of the Lab Space or cause any delay in the construction of Lessor’s Work, and any such delay shall extend the date by which Lessor is required to deliver the Premises and the Outside Delivery Date.

It is understood and agreed that the square footage figures set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions are approximations which Lessor and Lessee agree are reasonable and shall not be subject to revision except in connection with an actual change in the size of the Premises or a change in the space available for lease in the Office Building Project.

(b) “Base Year” is defined as the calendar year in which the Lease commences or as more specifically defined in paragraph 1.11.

(g) Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be payable by Lessee within ten (10) business days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor’s option, however, an amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time in advance of Lessee’s Share of the Operating Expense Increase for any Comparison Year, and the same shall be payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each Comparison Year of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that Lessee pays Lessor’s estimate of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase as aforesaid, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each Comparison Year a reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee’s Share of the actual Operating Expense Increase incurred during such year. If Lessee fails to give any notice of objection within 180 days following Lessee’s receipt of a final statement, Lessee shall be deemed to have approved such statement and shall not have any audit right pursuant to Paragraph 4.2(h) with respect to such statement. If Lessee’s payments under this paragraph 4.2(g) during said Comparison Year exceed Lessee’s Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase next falling due. If Lessee’s payments under this paragraph during said Comparison Year were less than Lessee’s Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) business days after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said statement. Lessor and Lessee shall forthwith adjust between them by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to that portion of the last Comparison year for which Lessee is responsible as to Operating Expense Increase, notwithstanding that the Lease term may have terminated before the end of such Comparison Year. In the event that Lessor fails to deliver a final detailed statement of actual expenses for the last year of the Term within six (6) months following the expiration of the Lease, Lessor shall be deemed to have waived its right to recover any underpayments of Operating Expenses from Lessee, and Lessee shall have no obligation to pay such amounts.

(h) In the event of any dispute regarding the amount due as Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase and/or the amount due as Operating Expenses pursuant this Paragraph 4.2, Lessee shall have the right, after reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to inspect and photocopy Lessor’s accounting records at Lessor’s office. If, after such inspection and photocopying, Lessee continues to dispute the amount of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase, Lessee, or an agent designated by Lessee, shall be entitled to audit and/or review Lessor’s records to determine the proper amount of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase. If such audit or review reveals that Lessor has overcharged Lessee, then within ten (10) business days after the results of such audit are made available to Lessor, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee the amount of such overcharge. If the audit reveals that Lessee was undercharged, then within five (5) business days after the results of the audit are made available to Lessee, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor the amount of such undercharge plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If Lessor desires to contest such audit results, Lessor may do so by submitting the results of the audit to arbitration within ten (10) business days of receipt of the results of the audit, and the arbitration shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Lessee. Lessee agrees to pay the cost of such audit, provided that if the audit reveals that Lessor’s determination of Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of Common Area Costs as set forth in any detailed statement of actual expenses sent to Lessee was in error in Lessor’s favor by more than five percent (5%), Lessor shall pay the cost of such audit.

4.3 Rent Increase. At the times set forth in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic Lease Provisions, the monthly Base Rent payable under paragraph 4.1 of this Lease shall be adjusted.

5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor, upon receipt of the Termination Agreement (as defined below), the security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee’s default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount then required of Lessee. Lessee’s failure to do so shall, at Lessor’s option, be a material breach of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts. The security deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor’s option, to the last assignee, if any of Lessee’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

 

6. Use.

6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose set forth in paragraph 1.4 of the Basic Lease Provisions or any other use which is reasonably comparable to that use and for no other purpose.

6.2 Compliance with Law.

(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to alterations or improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will occupy the Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor’s sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Office Building Project.

6.3 Conditions of Premises. (See Paragraph 53)

(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in a clean condition on the Lease Commencement Date (unless Lessee is already in possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air conditioning, and heating system in the Premises shall be in good operating condition. In the event that it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor’s sole cost, rectify such violation.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts the Premises and the Office Building Project in their condition existing as of the Lease Commencement Date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that it has satisfied itself by its own independent investigation that the Premises are suitable for its intended use, and that neither Lessor nor Lessor’s agent(s) has made any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the conduct of Lessee’s business.

Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or about the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances without the express written consent of Lessor and compliance shall comply in a timely manner (at Lessee’s sole cost and expense) with all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3) relating to Lessee’s use of Hazardous Substances on the premises. “Reportable Use” shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and (iii) the presence in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Laws require that a notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor’s prior consent, but upon notice to Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by Lessee upon Lessee’s giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the premises and the Office Building Project against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability therefor, including but not limited to the installation (and, at Lessor’s option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonable necessary protective modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements)and/or the deposit of an additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

(b) Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall promptly give Lessor written notice thereof, together with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given to, or received from, any governmental authority or private party concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any Reportable Use involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the Premises (including, without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system.) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have no obligation to monitor, report or prevent the migration of Hazardous Substances from neighboring properties to the Premises or the Building.

(c) Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the premises by or for Lessee or by anyone under Lessee’s control.

Lessor shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees arising out of or involving (i) any Hazardous Substance caused by Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) any Hazardous Substance in existence as of the Commencement Date.

7. Maintenance, Repairs, Alterations and Common Area Services.

         7.1 Lessor’s Obligations. Lessor shall keep the Office Building Project, including the Premises, interior and exterior walls, roof, and common areas, and the equipment whether used exclusively for the Premises or in common with other premises, in good condition and repair; provided, however, Lessor shall not be obligated to paint, repair or replace wall coverings, or to repair or replace any improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or are above then Building standards. Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there shall be no abatement of rent or liability of Lessee on account of any injury or interference with Lessee’s business with respect to any improvements, alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part thereof, Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.

7.2 Lessee’s Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding Lessor’s obligation to keep the Premises in good condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of the cost thereof to Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of any maintenance and repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to causes beyond normal wear and tear or casualty. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to repair or replace any Premises improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are above then Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable notice, elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs the cost of which is otherwise Lessee’s responsibility hereunder.

(b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in substantially the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted, clean and free of debris. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Lessee. Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, alterations, furnishings and equipment. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting, fixtures, air conditioning, window coverings, wall coverings, carpets, wall paneling, ceiling and plumbing on the Premises and in good operating condition.

7.3 Alterations and Additions.

(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor’s prior written consent make any alterations, improvements, additions, Utility Installations or repairs in, on or about the Premises, or the Office Building Project. As used in this paragraph 7.3 the term “Utility Installation” shall mean carpeting, window and wall coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air conditioning, plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring and equipment. At the expiration of the term, Lessor may require the removal of any or all said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations, and the restoration of the Premises and the Office Building Project to their prior condition, at Lessee’s expense. Should Lessor permit Lessee to make its own alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations, Lessee shall use only such contractor as has been expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated costs of such improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, or use a contractor not expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any part or all of the same.

(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project that Lessee shall desire to make shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent to

Lessee’s making such alteration, improvement, addition or Utility Installation, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the commencement of the work, and compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.

(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building Project, or any interest therein. At Lessor’s option, such payment shall be made directly to the contractor performing such work. An administration fee equal to three percent (3%) of the total cost of Lessee’s charges may be added for Lessor’s reasonable overhead. Lessor shall not charge any administration fee for the initial tenant improvements, including Lessee’s alternate costs as reflected in Gidel & Kocal Bid dated 08/14/12 as Exhibit C1; provided, however, in no event shall any administration fee be charged for minor, cosmetic improvements or any improvements that cost less than $25,000.00.

(d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days notice prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, the Building or the Office Building Project, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the Premises, the Building and the Office Building Project free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor’s reasonable attorneys fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to Lessor’s best interest so to do.

(e) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee), which may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but not limited to, floor coverings, panelings, doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings, sound attenuation, and lighting and telephone or communication systems, conduit, wiring and outlets, shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner and of good and sufficient quality and materials and shall be the property of Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Lease term, unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a). Provided Lessee is not in default, not withstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7.3(e), Lessee’s personal property and equipment, other than that, which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises or the Building, and other than Utility Installations, shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of paragraph 7.2.

(f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and specifications for any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations.

(g) Lessee may make nonstructural alterations to the interior of the Premises costing less than Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($25,000.00) per occurrence without obtaining prior written consent of Lessor, however, said alterations shall not involve the building systems (including HVAC and electrical systems). Lessor shall have the right to approve Lessee’s contractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Lessor. All alterations, whether or not they require Lessor’s approval, must conform to current building codes and be permitted by the City of Santa Clara municipal building department. Lessor shall elect in writing, at the time of Lessee’s request, to either require Lessee to remove the proposed alterations, additions or changes or to allow Lessee to surrender the proposed alterations, additions or changes upon expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease. In the event that Lessor fails to make any election concurrently with its approval of any alterations, Lessor shall be deemed to have waived its right to require removal thereof at the expiration of the Lease.

7.4 Utility Additions. Lessor reserves the right to install new or additional utility facilities throughout the Office Building Project for the benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Office Building Project, including, but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical systems, communication systems, and fire protection and detection systems, so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

8.1 Liability Insurance - Lessee. Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Comprehensive General Liability insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office standard form with Broad Form General Liability Endorsement (GL0404), or equivalent, in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence of bodily injury and property damage combined and shall insure Lessee with Lessor as an additional insured against liability arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. Compliance with the above requirement shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder. All such insurance policies shall name Lessor as a named insured thereunder.

Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury and Broad Form Property Damage Insurance, plus coverage against such other risks Lessor deems advisable from time to time, insuring Lessor, but not Lessee, against liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Office Building Project in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence.

8.3 Property Insurance - Lessee. Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease for the benefit of Lessee, replacement cost fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and earthquake sprinkler leakage endorsements, in an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment and Lessee improvements installed by Lessee after the Commencement Date.

8.4 Property Insurance - Lessor. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Office Building Project improvements, but not Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment or Lessee improvements, in the amount of the full replacement cost thereof, as the same may exist from time to time, utilizing Insurance Services Office standard form, or equivalent, providing protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, plate glass, and such other perils as Lessor deems advisable or may be required by a lender having a lien on the Office Building Project. In addition, Lessor shall obtain and keep in force, during the term of this Lease, a policy of rental value insurance covering a period of one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also cover all Operating Expenses for said period. Lessee will not be named in any such policies carried by Lessor and shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom. The policies required by these paragraphs 8.2 and 8.4 shall contain such deductibles as Lessor or the aforesaid lender may reasonably determine. In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as defined in paragraph 9.1(f) hereof, the deductible amounts under the applicable insurance policies shall be deemed an Operating Expense. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Lessor. Lessee shall pay the entirety of any increase in the property insurance premium for the Office Building Project over what it was immediately prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease if the increase is specified by Lessor’s insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Lessee’s occupancy or any act or omission of Lessee.

All property insurance policies required under this Lease shall be endorsed to so provide.

8.7 Indemnity.

(a) Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its agents, Lessor’s master or ground lessor, partners and lenders, from and against any and all claims for damage to the person or property of anyone or any entity arising from Lessee’s use of the Office Building Project, or from any activity, work or things done or permitted by Lessee in or about the Premises and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims, costs and expenses arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on

(a) Insured Loss: Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.4 and 9.5, if at any time during the term of this Lease there is damage which is an Insured Loss and which falls into the classification of either Premises Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, then Lessor shall, as soon as reasonably possible and to the extent the required materials and labor are readily available through usual commercial channels, at Lessor’s expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee’s fixtures, equipment or Lessee improvements originally paid for by Lessee) to its condition existing at the time of the damage, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

10.4 Joint Assessment.

Lessor shall provide heating, ventilation, air conditioning at temperatures necessary for the reasonable comfort of its tenants and occupants, and janitorial service in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit E , reasonable amounts of electricity for normal lighting and office machines, water for reasonable and normal drinking and lavatory use, and replacement light bulbs and/or fluorescent tubes and ballasts for standard overhead fixtures.

11.2 Services Exclusive to Lessee. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities and services specially or exclusively supplied and/or metered exclusively to the Premises or to Lessee, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to the Premises, Lessee shall pay at Lessor’s option, either Lessee’s Share or a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered with other premises in the Building.

11.3 Hours of Service. Said services and utilities shall be provided during generally accepted business days and hours or such other days or hours as may hereafter be set forth. Utilities and services required at other times shall be subject to advance request and reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of the cost thereof. During the term of the Lease, Lessee’s hours of HVAC operation shall be 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Further, during the term of the Lease Lessee shall be entitled to six hundred (600) hours of HVAC afterhours service per year at the rate of $25.00 per hour. Any HVAC afterhours usage beyond the six (600) hundred hours per year shall be charged to Lessee at the rate of $45.00 per hour.

11.4 Excess Usage by Lessee. Lessee shall not make connection to the utilities except by or through existing outlets and shall not install or use machinery or equipment in or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting or power, or suffer or permit any act that causes extra burden upon the utilities or services, including but not limited to security services, over standard office usage for the Office Building Project. Lessor shall require Lessee to reimburse Lessor for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out of a breach of this subparagraph by Lessee. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, install at Lessee’s expense supplemental equipment and/or separate metering applicable to Lessee’s excess usage or loading.

11.5 Interruptions. There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor shall not be liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor’s reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions.

12. Assignment and Subletting.

12.1 Lessor’s Consent Required. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Lessee’s interest in the Lease or in the Premises, without Lessor’s prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee’s request for consent hereunder within twenty (20) days of receipt of (i) Lessee’s request, (ii) copy of the proposed sublease or assignment, and (iii) financial statements for such assignee or sublessee, and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void. “Transfer” within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting

PAGE 8


stock of such corporation, or (b) if Lessee is a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the profit and loss participation in such partnership. In no event shall any public offering of shares of stock on a national stock exchange or any issuance of stock in connection with raising capital constitute a Transfer, and no Lessor consent shall be required in connection therewith.

12.2 Lessee Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, without Lessor’s consent (and Lessor’s recapture right shall not apply), to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as “Lessee Affiliate”; provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (b) Lessor shall be given written notice of such assignment and assumption, and (c) and the use is consistent with Lessee’s present use. Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not be necessary.

12.3 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

(a) Regardless of Lessor’s consent, no assignment or subletting shall release Lessee of Lessee’s obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder.

(b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of such assignment.

(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor’s right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.

(d) If Lessee’s obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor’s consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such assignment or sublease and the terms thereof.

(e) The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or said sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any such amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the Lessee or sublessee under this Lease or such sublease.

(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor’s remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.

(g) Lessor’s written consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.

(h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Lessor in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false shall, at Lessor’s election, render Lessor’s said consent null and void.

12.4 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. Regardless of Lessor’s consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

                    (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not by reason of this or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee’s obligations to such sublessee under such sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents due and to become due under to sublease. Lessee agrees that such sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sublessee to Lessor, provided that such payments shall be credited towards rent due from Lessee.

(b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless and until it has been reasonably approved in writing by Lessor. Once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without Lessor’s prior written consent. Any sublease shall, by reason of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein to be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has expressly consented in writing.

(c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to Lessee (except to the extent transferred to Lessor) or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under such sublease.

(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent.

(e) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented, Lessor agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within three (3) days after service of said notice of default upon such sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.

(f) Lessor and Lessee agree to split 50/50, any rental paid by a subtenant in excess of the rent being paid by Lessee, after all actual subleasing expenses are recovered by Lessee (which shall include brokerage commissions, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, marketing costs, tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods and any other sublessee inducements or concessions). In calculating excess rent for any sublease, Lessee shall also be entitled to deduct $25,000.00 in costs of alterations to the Premises made by Lessee at its own expense, including alterations for Lessee’s benefit and occupancy, provided that Lessee has spent at least $25,000.00 in the aggregate for any such alterations. However, Lessor reserves the right to recapture the premises within the twenty (20) day period, and in the event that Lessee desires to sublease and in the event Lessor elects to recapture the premises; Lessor shall release Lessee from its lease obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right to withdraw its request for such proposed subletting or assignment within five (5) business days following receipt of Lessor’s notice of exercise of its recapture right, and following notice of such withdrawal, Lessor’s recapture right shall be terminated as to such proposed subletting or assignment.

12.5 Lessor’s Expenses. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do then Lessee shall pay Lessor’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’, architects’, engineers’ or other consultants fees, provided that Lessor provides Lessee with an estimate of such costs following Lessee’s written request, and in no event shall Lessor charge any administrative mark-up of such costs.

12.6 Conditions to Consent. Lessor reserves the right to condition any approval to assign or sublet upon Lessor’s determination that (a) the proposed assignee or sublease shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of any exclusives or rights then held by other Lessees, and (b) if Lessee is to be released from its obligations under the Lease, which is at the sole discretion of Lessor, the proposed assignee or sublessee has the same or greater net worth as Lessee was expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment or subletting, whichever is greater.

13. Default; Remedies.

13.1 Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:

(a) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent of any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. Such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the statutory notice required under applicable law.

(b) The breach by Lessee of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1 (assignment or subletting), 13.1(e) (insolvency), 13.1(f) (false statement), 16(a) (estoppel certificate), 30(b) (subordination), 33 (auctions), or 41.1 (easements), and failure to cure same within five (5) business days (to the extent that such breach is capable of being cured), all of which are hereby deemed to be material defaults without the necessity of any notice by Lessor to Lessee thereof.

(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee other than those referenced in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee’s noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonable required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.

(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. §101 or any successor stature thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease; where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Lessee’s obligation hereunder was materially false.

13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this Lease by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such default:

(a) Terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee’s default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.

(b) Maintain Lessee’s right to possession in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.

13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

          13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase or other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and profitability of Lessee’s business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor areas of the Premises. Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Lessee and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof. Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or damage to Lessee’s trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized Lessee improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease excluding any options. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

15. Broker’s Fee.

(a) The brokers involved in this transaction are Colliers International as “listing broker” and Colliers International as “cooperating broker”, licensed real estate broker(s). A “cooperating broker” is defined as any broker other than the listing broker entitled to a share of any commission arising under this Lease. Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay to said brokers jointly, or in such separate shares as they may mutually designate in writing, a fee as set forth in a separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s).

(b) Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that neither has had any dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the person(s), if any, whose names are set forth in paragraph 15(a), above) in connection with the negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and no other broker or other person, firm or entity is entitled to any commission or

finder’s fee in connection with said transaction and Lessee and Lessor do each hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees or liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying party.

16. Estoppel Certificate.

(a) Each party (as “responding party”) shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written notice from the other party (“requesting party”) execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) such other matters requested by the requesting party. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Office Building Project or of the business of Lessee. In the event that Lessee fails to deliver such estoppel within ten (10) business days, Lessee shall be deemed to have agreed to all of the terms of the estoppel if it fails to deliver such estoppel within three (3) business days following such second (2 nd ) written notice.

(b) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Office Building Project, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchases in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. If Lessee’s financial statements are publicly available, Lessee shall be deemed to have performed its obligation to deliver financial statements hereunder.

17. Lessor’s Liability. The term “Lessor” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee’s interest in a ground lease of the Office Building Project, and except as expressly provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Lessor’s obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in the Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor’s successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.

18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

19. Interest on Past-due Obligation. Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowable by law or judgments from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.

20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to be performed under this Lease.

21. Additional Rent. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease; including but not limited to Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase and any other expenses payable by Lessee hereunder shall be deemed to be rent.

22. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in paragraph 15 hereof, if any, nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by Lessee of the Premises or the Office Building Project and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease.

23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or registered mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or addressed to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below or adjacent to the signature of the respective parties, or to such other places as Lessee or Lessor may hereafter designate in writing, as the case may be. Mailed notices shall be deemed given upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight hours following deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee’s taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee’s address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision. Lessor’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a “short form” memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.

26. Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor’s consent, remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, except that the rent payable shall be one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the rent payable immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease, and all Options, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no further effect during said month to month tenancy.

27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

28. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provision hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of paragraph 17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and any litigation concerning this Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the County of Santa Clara.

30. Subordination.

(a) This Lease, and any Option or right of first refusal granted hereby, at Lessor’s option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Office Building Project and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, such subordination is expressly conditioned upon receipt from any mortgagee of a non-disturbance agreement on such mortgagee’s form. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, subject to the non-disturbance agreement requirements under subparagraph 30(a) above.

31. Attorney’s Fees.

31.1 If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in such action, trial or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to his reasonable attorneys’ fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court in the same or a separate suit, and whether or not such action is pursued to decision or judgment. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.

31.2 The attorneys’ fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in good faith.

31.3 Lessor shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notice of default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal transaction is subsequently commenced in connection with such default.

general agreement with a bona fide, third party, unaffiliated prospective tenant for space on the second or fourth floors. Lessor shall then provide Lessee with written notice, summarizing the basic terms and conditions that have been negotiated between the prospect and Lessor and Lessee shall have ten (10) days to elect to lease the subject space or to decline said space.

57. Option to Extend.

Lessor grants Lessee one (1) option to extend the term for five (5) years. To exercise the option Lessee is required to provide Lessor with written notification a minimum of nine (9) months before expiration of the Lease term. In no event shall notice be considered by Lessor earlier than 12 months before expiration of the Lease term unless otherwise agreed to by Lessor.

For purposes of the Lease, the term “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept in current transactions between non-affiliated parties from new, non-expansion, non-renewal and non-equity tenants of comparable credit-worthiness, for comparable space, for a comparable use, for a comparable period of time (“Comparable Transactions”) in buildings that are comparable to and located in the vicinity (defined as the City of Santa Clara Office/ submarkets) of the Building (“Comparable Building”). In any determination of Comparable Transactions appropriate consideration shall be given to the annual rental rates per rentable square foot, the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured, the ratio of rentable square feet to usable square feet, the type of escalation clause (e.g., whether increases in additional rent are determined on a net or gross basis, and if gross, whether such increases are determined according to a base year or a base dollar amount expense stop) the extent of Lessee’s liability under the Lease, abatement provisions reflecting free rent and/or no rent during the period of construction or subsequent to the commencement date as to the space in question), length of the lease term, size and location of premises being leased, building standard work letter and/or tenant improvement allowances, if any, and other generally applicable conditions of tenancy for such Comparable Transactions The intent is that Lessee will obtain the same or similar rent and other economic benefits that a tenant would otherwise obtain in Comparable Transactions and that Lessor will make and receive the same or similar economic payments and concessions that a landlord would otherwise make and receive in Comparable Transactions.

Lessor shall determine the Fair Market Rental Rate by using its good faith judgment. Lessor shall provide written notice of such amount within fifteen (15) days after Lessee provides the notice to Lessor exercising Lessee’s option rights which require a calculation of the Fair Market Rental Rate. Lessee shall have thirty (30) days (“Lessee’s Review Period”) after receipt of Lessor’s notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental or to reasonably object thereto in writing. In the event Lessee objects, Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Rate using their best good faith efforts. If Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Lessee’s Review Period (“Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Rental Rate and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Subsections (a) through (e) below. Failure of Lessee to so elect in writing within Lessee’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed its disapproval of the Fair Market Rental Rate determined by Lessor.

In the event that Lessor fails to timely generate the initial written notice of Lessor’s opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate which triggers the negotiation period of this Article, then Lessee may commence such negotiations by providing the initial notice, in which event Lessor shall have fifteen (15) days (“Lessor’s Review Period”) after receipt of Lessee’s notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental. In the event Lessor fails to accept in writing such rental proposed by Lessee, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Lessor and Lessee shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Rate using their best good faith efforts. If Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Lessor’s Review Period (which shall be, in such event, the “Outside Agreement Date” in lieu of the above definition of such date), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to the Fair Market Rental Rate and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out below.

Lessor and Lessee shall meet with each other within five (5) business days of the Outside Agreement Date and exchange the sealed envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other’s presence. If Lessor and Lessee do not mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate within five (5) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, Lessor and Lessee shall agree upon and jointly appoint and jointly pay for a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial Office/R&D properties in the vicinity of the Building. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall consult with such broker as to his or her opinion as to Fair Market Rental Rate prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Lessor’s or Lessee’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate for the Property is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate for the Property as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements of this Article. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Lessor or Lessee may submit to the arbitrator, with a copy to the other party, within five (5) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information that such party deems relevant to the determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate (“FMRR Data”) and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such FMRR Data.

The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Lessor’s or Lessee’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate, and shall notify Lessor and Lessee of such determination.

The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee, except as provided below.

The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Lessor and Lessee equally.

58. Access.

Lessee shall be permitted access to the Premises and parking facility twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year.

59. Restoration.

Upon Lessor approval of the initial tenant improvement plan, Lessor shall waive restoration of the initial Premises as it relates to the initial improvements.

60. Non-Disturbance.

Lessor hereby represents and warrants that the Office Building Project is not encumbered by any deed of trust or mortgage as of the date hereof. Lessee will only agree to subordinate its leasehold interest during the term of the Lease to a future mortgagee only if such mortgagee provides Lessee with a non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Lessee.

61. No Relocation.

During the term of the Lease and any option to extend, Lessor shall not be allowed to relocate Lessee’s Premises anywhere within the Building or the Office Building Project.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord Delays shall not include any delays directly resulting from a Tenant Delay, or any delays which do not actually and directly result in a delay in the substantial completion of Tenant’s Work from the date that Tenant’s Work would otherwise be substantially completed absent such delay. Each day of Landlord Delay shall delay by one day the Expansion Space Commencement Date. Should any such Landlord Delay occur, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and enter into an amendment to the Lease, promptly following the substantial completion of Tenant’s Work in the Expansion Space and/or the Current Premises, adjusting the Term of the Lease based upon a final reconciliation of the Expansion Space Commencement Date in accordance with the foregoing.

INPHI CORPORATION

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Severance and Change of Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of September 4, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Charlie Roach (“Executive”) and Inphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 1 below.

RECITALS

A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of a Change of Control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities.

B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue his employment and to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its shareholders.

C. In recognition of Executive’s service with the Company during which time Executive’s leadership has been fundamental to the Company’s development and in order to provide Executive with enhanced financial security and sufficient encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control, the Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain severance and other benefits upon Executive’s termination of employment in connection with a Change of Control.

D. The Board also believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide Executive with severance upon involuntary termination other than in connection with a Change of Control or for cause.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and the continued employment of Executive by the Company, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Definition of Terms . The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:


(a)  Cause . “Cause” shall mean (i) commission of a felony, an act involving moral turpitude, or an act constituting common law fraud, and which has a material adverse effect on the business or affairs of the Company or its affiliates or stockholders; (ii) intentional or willful misconduct or refusal to follow the lawful instructions of the Board that is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice from the Board; or (iii) intentional breach of Company confidential information obligations which has an adverse effect on the Company or its affiliates or stockholders. For these purposes, no act or failure to act shall be considered “intentional or willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith without a reasonable belief that the action or omission is in the best interests of the Company.

(b)  Change of Control . “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the closing of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition to a subsidiary of the Company or to an entity, the voting securities of which are owned by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company’s voting securities immediately prior to such sale or disposition;

(ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent directly or indirectly (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;

(iii) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becoming the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

(iv) a change in the composition of the Board, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of those directors whose election or nomination was not in connection with any transactions described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii), or in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Company files for bankruptcy protection, or if a petition for involuntary relief is filed against the Company.

 

2


(c)  Involuntary Termination . “Involuntary Termination” shall mean:

(i) without Executive’s express written consent, a material reduction in Executive’s title, authority, duties or responsibilities or a material reduction in the title, authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the service provider is required to report

(ii) without Executive’s express written consent, a reduction by the Company of Executive’s base compensation of more than ten percent (10%), unless such reduction in base compensation is part of a general reduction in compensation applicable to senior executives of the Company;

(iii) without Executive’s express written consent, the relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from its then current location;

(iv) any termination of Executive by the Company which is not effected for Cause; or

(v) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Executive by any successors contemplated in Section 7 below.

A termination shall not be considered an “Involuntary Termination” unless Executive provides notice to the Company of the existence of the condition described in subsections (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) above within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such condition, the Company fails to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice, and Executive terminates employment within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the initial existence of such condition. A termination due to death or disability shall not be considered an Involuntary Termination.

(d)  Termination Date . “Termination Date” shall mean Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

2.  Term of Agreement . This Agreement shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement have been satisfied.

3.  At-Will Employment . The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law.

4.  Severance Benefits .

(a)  Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change of Control . If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination on or at any time within twelve months (12) months after a Change of Control, or within three (3) months prior to a Change of Control, and Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”) within fifty (50) days following the later of the Change of Control or the Termination Date (or such shorter period as the Company may require), then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits:

(i) 50% of the sum of Executive’s annual base salary (as in effect prior to any reduction that constitutes a basis for Involuntary Termination pursuant to this Agreement) plus 50% of the sales compensation plan as in effect on the Termination Date, payable in a lump sum on the date on which the Release becomes irrevocable ( provided , however , that if any portion of such amount is subject to Section 409A of the Code as nonqualified deferred compensation, then payment shall be made on the sixtieth (60 th ) day following the later of the Termination Date or the Change of Control, subject to Section 6 below);

(ii) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for any annual bonus period which had ended prior to the Termination Date, which amount shall be paid at such time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company;

(iii) acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of 50% of Executive’s options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and stock units with respect to the Company or its successor, or the parent of either, to the extent outstanding on the Termination Date, including such equity awards subject to incentive stock plans after 12 months from commencement of employment or of any deferred compensation into which such stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares or stock units were converted upon the Change of Control (“Equity Awards”) ; provided , however , that if the definitive agreement pursuant to which the Change of Control is consummated is entered into within twelve (12) months following the date that Executive commences employment with the Company, then vesting and exercisability of each Equity Award shall be accelerated only to the extent necessary to ensure that each such Equity Award is vested and exercisable with respect to not less than 33% of the total number of shares subject to the Equity Award; and provided further , however , that notwithstanding any contrary term of the Equity Award agreement, if Executive is entitled to accelerated vesting as a result of an Involuntary Termination within three (3) months prior to a Change of Control: (x) the portion of the Equity Award subject to such accelerated vesting shall not be forfeited or terminated upon the Termination Date pending the Change of Control, (x) the accelerated vesting shall be deemed to take place immediately prior to the effective date of the Change of Control, and (y) the period within which the Equity Award may be exercised following the Termination Date, if applicable, will expire no less than one (1) month following the effective date of the Change in Control (but no later than the expiration of the term of the Equity Award); and

(iv) if Executive so elects and pays to continue health insurance under Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or corresponding provision of state law ( “COBRA” ), then beginning in the month following the Termination Date (or if later, the date the Release becomes irrevocable, with a catch-up payment for reimbursements deferred pending the irrevocability of the Release), Executive will be reimbursed on a monthly basis in an amount equal to the monthly amount the Company was paying as the employer-portion of premium contributions for health coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents immediately before the Termination Date, until the earlier of (i) the end of the 6-month period following Termination Date. The period of such employer-reimbursed COBRA continuation coverage shall be considered part of Executive’s (and Executive’s eligible dependents’) COBRA coverage entitlement period. Executive will be solely responsible for timely electing such continuation coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents. Any increase in the premium contribution and/or in the number of covered dependents by Executive during the period that Executive continues in the Company’s health insurance benefit plans or receives company-paid reimbursement of COBRA premiums will be at Executive’s own expense.

(b)  Termination Apart from a Change of Control . If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination more than three (3) months prior to, or more than twelve (12) months after, a Change of Control, and Executive signs and does not revoke a Release within fifty (50) days following the Termination Date (or such shorter period as the Company may require), then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits:

(i) 50% of the Executive’s annual base salary and sales compensation plan (as in effect prior to any reduction that constitutes a basis for Involuntary Termination pursuant to this Agreement), payable in three equal monthly installments on each one-month anniversary of the Termination Date, with the first installment deferred until the date on which the Release becomes irrevocable, if later ( provided , however , that if any portion of such amount is subject to Section 409A of the Code as nonqualified deferred compensation, then such payment shall be made on the sixtieth (60 th ) day following the Termination Date), subject to Section 6 below, and the last installment payable no later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the year in which the Termination Date occurs; and provided further , however , that payment of each installment shall be subject to Executive’s availability to provide reasonable transition assistance to the Company;

(ii) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for any annual bonus period which had ended prior to the Termination Date, which amount shall be paid at such time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company;

(c)  Accrued Wages and Vacation; Expenses . Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Executive’s termination of employment: (i) the Company shall pay Executive any unpaid wages due for periods prior to the Termination Date; (ii) the Company shall pay Executive all of Executive’s accrued and unused vacation

 

5


through the Termination Date; and (iii) following submission of proper expense reports by Executive, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company prior to the Termination Date. These payments shall be made promptly upon termination and within the period of time mandated by law.

5.  Limitation on Payments . In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either:

(a) delivered in full or

(b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax,

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 5. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5. In the event that a reduction is required, the reduction shall be applied first to any benefits that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, and then shall be applied to benefits (if any) that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, with the benefits payable latest in time subject to reduction first.

6.  Section 409A; Delayed Commencement of Benefits . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no cash severance and no Company-paid health care coverage to which Executive otherwise becomes entitled under this Agreement shall be made or provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the Termination Date or (ii) the date of Executive’s death, if Executive is deemed on the Termination Date to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under

 

6


Code Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 6 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Executive shall be entitled to interest on the deferred benefits and payments for the period the commencement of those benefits and payments is delayed by reason of Code Section 409A(a)(2), with such interest to accrue at the prime rate in effect from time to time during that period and to be paid in a lump sum upon the expiration of the deferral period. Each installment payment under Section 4 shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

7.  Successors .

(a)  Company’s Successors . Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this subsection (a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law.

(b)  Executive’s Successors . Without the written consent of the Company, Executive shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

8.  Notices .

(a)  General . Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary.

(b)  Notice of Termination . Any termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive as a result of an Involuntary Termination shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this

 

7


Section 8. Such notice shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and shall specify the Termination Date (which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by Executive to include in the notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Involuntary Termination shall not waive any right of Executive hereunder or preclude Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights hereunder, subject to the requirements of Section 1(c).

9.  Arbitration .

Any controversy involving the construction or application of any terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, or any claims arising out of any alleged breach of this Agreement, will be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association and submitted to and settled by final and binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, California, except that any alleged breach of Executive’s confidential information obligations shall not be submitted to arbitration and instead the Company may seek all legal and equitable remedies, including without limitation, injunctive relief.

10.  Miscellaneous Provisions .

(a)  No Duty to Mitigate . Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source.

(b)  Waiver . No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

(c)  Integration . This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(d)  Choice of Law . The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the conflicts of law rules, of the State of California.

(e)  Severability . The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

(f)  Employment Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.

 

8


(g)  Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
