PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Adobe Systems (the "Company" or "Adobe"), established in 1982, is a California
corporation that creates computer software solutions to help people throughout
the world effectively communicate information and ideas. It first developed the
PostScript page description language, a powerful, high-level computer language
that communicates precise descriptions of computer-generated graphics, photos
and text to any output device with a PostScript interpreter. Over time, the
PostScript language has become an industry standard for printing electronic
documents. Concurrently, independent software vendors and Adobe used the power
and flexibility of the PostScript language to build a base of application
products that is generally recognized for facilitating the desktop publishing
revolution. More than 5,000 applications support PostScript language output.
These applications are available for every major computer operating system and
hardware configuration, from desktop PCs to mainframes.
Adobe delivers its products and technologies through two divisions: the System
Products Division (SPD), which develops technology for information distribution,
and the Application Products Division (APD), which develops packaged
applications for information authoring.
SPD focuses on the development, marketing, sales and support of system-level
software tools and technologies that are embedded within the branded products of
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The division is organized into five
product groups: prepress products, information products, display products,
imaging systems products and printer products.
APD provides three categories of software products: graphics and video, print
publishing and consumer products. Graphics and video include digital imaging and
video products, illustration products, type products and presentation products.
Print publishing products include page assembly products and some accessory
products. Consumer products are personal publishing and productivity software.
Adobe is now leveraging its leadership position in desktop publishing to pioneer
an industry transition to digital publishing. At the heart of this initiative is
technology for the representation of digital documents that are independent of
computer platform, application software and fonts. This technology is embodied
in the Adobe Acrobat family of document communication products introduced in
1993. Version 2.0, which includes a significant number of new features and
expanded capabilities, was introduced in 1994. In addition, Adobe offers an
expanding suite of software tools for authoring multimedia digital information.
Adobe develops, markets and supports its computer software products through
various channels, including distribution through the retail channel, value-added
resellers (VARs)
4
<PAGE>
and direct OEM licenses. Additionally, Adobe supports its worldwide OEMs,
distributors and end-user customers through several international subsidiaries.
The European operations are headquartered in Edinburgh, with European offices in
Amersfoot, London, Milan, Munich, Paris and Stockholm. Offices in Tokyo and
Sydney service the Asian and Pacific Rim markets.
APD also markets products through the Image Club Graphics, Incorporated ("Image
Club") subsidiary, a developer and catalog marketer of content software. Image
Club provides original clip art, brand name and original display fonts, stock
photographic images plus a variety of third-party desktop publishing products.
It has a monthly catalog circulation of more than 600,000.
On August 31, 1994, Adobe completed its acquisition of Aldus Corporation
following approval by shareholders of both companies and the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC). The FTC approved the acquisition after Adobe agreed to the
condition that the rights to the Aldus FreeHand program revert to Altsys
Corporation in January 1995. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of
interests and qualified as a tax-free reorganization.

SYSTEM PRODUCTS DIVISION
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
Adobe develops, markets, licenses and supports its printer software, Acrobat
software, prepress software and controller and complementary technologies to
systems integrators, developers and OEMs of computers, printers, imagesetters
and film recorders for incorporation into their products. Core products and
technologies include PostScript, Adobe Acrobat, personal printing software, a
variety of prepress products, the Configurable PostScript Interpreter (CPSI) for
embedded control and host-based printing, the Display PostScript system, Adobe
typeface software, Adobe Type Manager software, application-specific integrated
circuits (ASICs) and other related technologies.
SPD is organized into five product groups: printer products, imaging systems
products, display products, prepress products and information products.
PRINTER PRODUCTS
PostScript is a page description language, a set of instructions typically
generated by a software application that describes the electronic appearance of
a page for a printer or output device containing a PostScript interpreter. The
description includes detailed information such as the placement of each type
character, line, curve or image. In 1990, the Company introduced PostScript
Level 2, which increases functionality in areas such as composite fonts, device-
independent color, data compression and improved fidelity between displays and
output devices.
Adobe also provides PostScript Fax technology to enable printers or other output
devices to receive high-quality standard fax documents on plain paper from any
fax machine. PostScript Fax printers can serve as remote printers and can both
send and receive documents created from any of the more than 20 million fax
machines and modems installed worldwide.
The Company offers a cooperative development program to license PostScript
software source-code interface modules and development and testing tools to
qualified OEMs. This enables them to develop product lines, shorten development
cycles, and add value to their products. During 1993 and 1994, the Company
expanded its cooperative development program to encompass more than a dozen of
its OEMs, each with one or more active development projects. Adobe has also
authorized certain third-party companies to produce products for Adobe's OEMs.
In October 1994, Adobe acquired LaserTools Corporation ("LaserTools") of
Emeryville, California, a provider of printing-related technologies for the PC
environment. In recent years, LaserTools had licensed technologies to Adobe,
including automatic printer language detection software. The acquisition added
complementary technology to Adobe's PostScript software and other areas of its
product line. LaserTools' retail products division was not a part of the
acquisition.

IMAGING SYSTEMS PRODUCTS
The Configurable PostScript Interpreter is a fully functional PostScript
interpreter that resides on the host computer system rather than in a dedicated
controller integrated into an output device. The configuration flexibility of
CPSI allows OEMs and software developers to create and market a variety of
PostScript products independently of controller hardware development.
DISPLAY PRODUCTS
The Display PostScript Level 2 system is a standard printing and imaging model
for UNIX workstations. It provides application developers with a way to describe
pages the same way for the display and printer for faster development of
graphically sophisticated applications. It incorporates the same industry-
standard imaging model and language used in PostScript output devices into
products from vendors including Digital Equipment, IBM, Network Computing
Devices, NeXT, Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystems.
PREPRESS PRODUCTS
PressWise for Macintosh is a program used to assemble multipage PostScript
language files into imposition forms for printing, folding and binding. It gives
prepress professionals control over page positioning, signature design and
custom printer's marks. PrePrint is a program for generating four-color
separations on the Macintosh. For the Macintosh and Windows platforms, TrapWise
performs professional-quality process color trapping on PostScript language
files, particularly for high-throughput production. Print Central is a
Macintosh-based print server and Color Central is an open prepress interface
(OPI) image server for Macintosh and Windows.
INFORMATION PRODUCTS
Acrobat is a family of software products that allows fully formatted, electronic
documents that may contain distinctive typefaces, color, graphics and
photographs, to be easily distributed, accessed and reused, regardless of the
hardware platform, operating system or application used to create the originals.
Receivers can view, search, navigate, print and store the documents on their
existing systems, enabling companies to easily create, manage and distribute
visually rich information.
Acrobat software describes documents in a single, universal format called the
Portable Document Format (PDF). Based on the PostScript language, PDF is a
device- and resolution-independent description of documents containing any
combination of text, graphics and still images, in documents of any size and
visual complexity. A PDF file describes the visual (printable) aspects of a
document, as well as elements such as annotations (notes), hypertext links,
"thumbnail" views of pages, and bookmarks.
Adobe Acrobat software enables accurate communication of digital content
(combined graphics/text today and multimedia "documents" in the future) across
multiplatform networks. Documents can be viewed, printed, annotated and sent on
to other users. Acrobat software supports interapplication communication
standards, such as OLE, DDE
7
<PAGE>
and Apple events, to integrate with key applications, such as Lotus Notes.
Customers with specific needs can build on Acrobat software's open architecture
to create extended functionality or to further integrate Acrobat with other
systems or applications.
SALES AND MARKETING
The PostScript language and Acrobat software's PDF are open specifications
published by Adobe. Approximately 350 software companies have introduced or
announced application products that support the PostScript language. More than
5,000 application programs currently support the PostScript language on
platforms that include personal computers, minicomputers, UNIX workstations and
mainframes from all major manufacturers.
Adobe licenses its PostScript products to more than 50 computer and printer
manufacturers, which in turn distribute their products worldwide. The Company
derives a significant portion of its royalties from international sales of
printers and imagesetters by its OEM customers.
OEMs and VARs distribute Adobe products with hardware and software products in
various configurations designed to best meet specific end user needs. Adobe, to
a limited extent, also markets directly to the end user. In 1993, the Company
focused on the development of a separate graphic arts dealer channel of OEMs and
VARs to distribute its prepress product line, which includes Adobe PressWise,
Adobe PrePrint and Adobe TrapWise. In March 1994, the Company completed its
acquisition of Compumation, Incorporated, adding Print Central and Color Central
to the prepress product line.
The primary distribution channels for Adobe Acrobat software are expected to be
VARs, systems integrators, information integrators and the retail channel.
COMPETITION
The Adobe PostScript interpreter faces indirect competition from major computer
companies that have developed or may develop a competitive page description
language. However, to date those products use a proprietary printer control
language that provides less functionality and flexibility than the Adobe
PostScript interpreter. The Company believes that Hewlett-Packard's LaserJet
product family, with its proprietary PCL page description language, has the
largest installed base of any low-cost laser printer. Additionally, several
companies have produced their own implementations of the PostScript language,
and some have announced contracts with printer manufacturers, most of whom are
not currently licensing Adobe PostScript software products.
Adobe believes that the principal competitive factors for OEMs in selecting a
page description language interpreter are product capabilities, reliability,
support, engineering development assistance and price. The Company believes that
it competes very favorably in these areas. The Company also believes that no
other page description language interpreter provides equivalent functionality
together with the broad support of software developers.
With the Display PostScript system, the Company also competes with screen
imaging
8
<PAGE>
software incorporated in other computer systems' architectures, such as
QuickDraw in the Macintosh, GDI in Windows, and GPI in OS/2. Each computer
platform has its own native screen imaging software. In the Macintosh, DOS and
Windows platforms, that technology is provided by the operating system vendor.
In the UNIX environment, Display PostScript has been licensed by the substantial
majority of UNIX hardware vendors and has become the de facto standard.
Prepress products face direct and indirect competition. Print Central 3.0.4 is a
Macintosh-based print server. It manages multiple clients and printers
simultaneously, and competes indirectly with AppleShare from Apple Computer and
directly with the non-Macintosh product Helios EtherShare. Color Central 2.1.1
is an OPI image server running on the Macintosh and Windows platforms. It
manages printing and images used in page makeup, and competes with Helios
EtherShare OPI and Archetype Intercep.
Electronic document communication, the market for Acrobat, is still in its
infancy. A number of competing products and technologies have been introduced,
including Common Ground from No Hands Software, Replica from Farallon and Envoy
from Novell. The Company believes that Acrobat is more functional than these
competitors, although no definitive leader has emerged. The Company believes
that it can leverage its expertise and market position to create a standard and
provide technology that allows the transfer of electronic documents across
various computer platforms.
TRAINING
For a fee, the Company provides training in the use of the PostScript language
and the Display PostScript System to software developers, OEMs and corporate
customers. The Company also has certified third-party training providers in the
United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany.

APPLICATION PRODUCTS DIVISION
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
In application software, Adobe leverages the use of PostScript language-based
authoring tools for the creation of digital content. Adobe's digital type
business provides a principal raw material used to create documents, while its
graphics products are recognized by the industry for creating new markets and
setting the standard against which other products are measured. Adobe's vision
is to build application software with extensible architectures that enable
software developers to design software "plug-ins." These plug-ins will allow
users to go beyond their mission-critical tasks and obtain more vertical market
solutions.
APD is organized into three product units: graphics and video, print publishing
and consumer products. Within these units, Adobe develops, markets, licenses and
supports graphics and type products and application software, utility software
for graphics professionals, and software for the consumer market.
GRAPHICS AND VIDEO - DIGITAL IMAGING PRODUCTS
Adobe Photoshop software is essentially an electronic darkroom that provides
users with professional prepress, color correction, paint and special effects
editing tools for color and black-and-white photographs and illustrations.
Introduced in 1990, Adobe Photoshop has become the standard tool for the
prepress, publishing and graphic arts industries. The latest release, version
3.0, was introduced in 1994 for Macintosh, Power Macintosh and Windows
platforms. Adobe Photoshop 2.5.2 for the UNIX environment was also introduced in
1994.
GRAPHICS AND VIDEO - VIDEO PRODUCTS
Adobe Premiere software allows users to edit video, audio, animation, photos and
graphics to create high-quality QuickTime or Microsoft Video for Windows digital
movies and videotapes. With Adobe Premiere, users can produce movies for small-
or full-screen viewing, or export to tape. Adobe Premiere is available on the
Macintosh, Power Macintosh and Windows platforms.
After Effects is a digital post-production tool for compositing, motion graphics
and special effects. Its interface design, speed and versatility give users the
control, efficiency and quality output required in professional film, broadcast
and video environments. After Effects is available for the Macintosh.
GRAPHICS AND VIDEO - ILLUSTRATION PRODUCTS
Adobe Illustrator is the leading illustration and page design tool available for
the Macintosh. The program simplifies the creation, manipulation and refinement
of artwork with advanced features for editing, text handling, color support and
more. The latest release, version 5.5, was introduced in 1994 for the Macintosh
and Power Macintosh platforms.
10
<PAGE>
Adobe also develops utility software products that complement other programs,
such as Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand and Deneba Canvas. Adobe Dimensions is a
software tool for the Macintosh that is used to create 3D objects. Adobe
Streamline is a tool for Macintosh and Windows platforms that converts black-
and-white or color bitmapped images into PostScript language artwork for use
with other programs.
IntelliDraw is a "smart" drawing program for Macintosh and Windows that helps
users create and refine commonly used graphics, such as schematics, maps,
organizational charts, diagrams, forms and space plans.
GRAPHICS AND VIDEO - TYPE PRODUCTS
Adobe markets the industry's largest family of digital type products, including
more than 2,000 typefaces in the Adobe Type Library. These typefaces are
marketed individually, in special collections and on CD-ROM.
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is a software utility that eliminates jagged type on
the computer screen and printed page. It enables Macintosh and Windows users to
scale Type 1 fonts to any size and print them at the highest possible resolution
on the full range of Adobe PostScript and non-PostScript printers. ATM is sold
as an individual product and is also included with every Adobe Type 1 typeface
package, in many other Adobe products, and is available bundled with a variety
of third-party applications and printer products. It is available for Macintosh,
Power Macintosh and Windows platforms.
Adobe SuperATM is an enhanced version of ATM software that automatically creates
"substitute fonts" to simulate typefaces missing from a computer. SuperATM
enables users to view, edit and print text that has the same look and feel as
that of the original document, and is compatible with all leading software
applications. The program is available for the Macintosh.
Type On Call is a CD-ROM that contains more than 2,000 encrypted typefaces from
the Adobe Type Library. The CD contains Adobe Type Reunion and ATM software, 30
typefaces and access codes for two additional typeface packages from a
preselected list. Customers can call Adobe via a toll-free, 24-hour line to buy
access codes for additional typefaces. Type On Call is available for Macintosh
and Windows.
GRAPHICS AND VIDEO - PRESENTATION PRODUCTS
Persuasion is a desktop presentation program for producing or delivering
conceptual and data-intensive presentations. Users can automatically generate

SALES AND MARKETING
Application products generally are marketed through the reseller channel and a
direct sales force. There are more than 9,000 authorized resellers in the United
States and Canada, and more than 150 distributors throughout Europe and the
Pacific Rim. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere and Adobe type
products are also provided by hardware OEMs and software vendors who bundle
Adobe software with scanners, CPUs, hardware peripherals and other software
applications.
COMPETITION
The markets for Adobe's applications for image processing, graphics and digital
video are characterized by intense competition, evolving industry standards,
rapid technology developments, and frequent new product introductions. In the
Macintosh and Windows
12
<PAGE>
markets, several competitors have an established presence in the retail channel.
In addition, the market for high-end graphics on the Windows platform is not as
mature as that for the Macintosh. As a result, acceptance of the Company's
programs on that platform will depend upon how the market evolves. Adobe's
future success will depend upon its ability to enhance its existing products,
introduce new products on a timely and cost-effective basis, meet changing
customer needs, extend its core technology into new applications, and anticipate
or respond to emerging standards and other technological changes.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the personal
computer applications market include product features and functions, installed
base, ease of use, product reliability, and price and performance
characteristics. The majority of the Company's application products compete
favorably in their markets on the basis of product features and reliability,
ease of use, and price and performance characteristics. Adobe also believes that
its application programs gain a competitive benefit from their foundation in
PostScript language technology. However, Adobe faces challenges in several areas
and expects to encounter continued competition both from established companies
and from new companies that are now developing, or may develop, competing
products.
Price competition is a factor encountered by Adobe in several of its product
categories. Suppliers in certain segments of the microcomputer software market
have significantly reduced prices through the use of "site licenses" (which
permit the copying of a program and its documentation), direct price offers,
bundling, software suites and discount pricing for large-volume retail
customers. The growth of high-volume retailers, which compete primarily on the
basis of price, has intensified the competition between software vendors. Price
competition is particularly keen in the consumer software market, and there is
no assurance that current pricing levels can be maintained.
Large-scale electronic publishing systems for publication and engineering
departments, as well as for other groups requiring page-composition features,
are offered by several companies, including Interleaf Inc. and Frame Technology.
Additionally, companies that develop word-processing software are incorporating
desktop publishing features into their products. Finally, numerous low-end
desktop publishing packages are available from a variety of software developers,
such as Serif's Page Plus and Microsoft's Publisher. As a result, Adobe expects
to face increasing competition in the desktop publishing market from a number of
other software developers, some of whom may have greater financing, marketing
and technological resources than that of Adobe, targeting one or more of the
various markets for which Adobe products are designed.
In recent years, PageMaker has been subject to increasing competition. The
Macintosh version of PageMaker 5.0 competes with software from a variety of
independent vendors, but principally Quark, Inc.'s QuarkXPress. The Windows
version of PageMaker 5.0 competes with software offered by several vendors,
principally Ventura Publisher, marketed and sold by Corel Corporation,
QuarkXPress for Windows, and FrameMaker by Frame Technology Corporation. Adobe
Illustrator 5.5 for Macintosh and Windows competes with FreeHand, CorelDraw and
Deneba Canvas. Competition for Adobe Photoshop 3.0 on the Windows platform is
from Micrografx Picture Publisher and Fractal Design Painter X2.
13
<PAGE>
Adobe Premiere 4.0 for the Macintosh and Windows platforms is a video editing
program. The market for desktop video editing is young; however, the Company
faces competition from products such as VideoStudio from U-Lead, Digital Video
Producer from Asymetrix, MediaMerge from ATI, Razor from In:sync and VideoShop
from Avid.
After Effects 2.0 is a motion graphics, digital compositing and special effects
program for broadcast video and film for the Macintosh. The program typically
retails for approximately $1,995 and competes with software from companies that
include Parallax and Discreet Logic, costing more than $25,000, and dedicated
hardware from Quantel and other companies that costs more than $500,000.
Competition for digital type market share is intense. Adobe's Type 1 outline
font format, introduced in 1984 and published as part of the open PostScript
language standard, provides digital type that can be printed at any resolution,
on any type of output device. Today, more than 30 vendors have developed over
15,000 Type 1 typefaces, including Japanese and Cyrillic typefaces.
Persuasion 3.0 for the Macintosh and Windows platforms, and Persuasion 2.1 for
Windows are business presentations programs whose major competitors include
Microsoft's PowerPoint (the only other such program to support both Macintosh
and Windows), Software Publishing's Harvard Graphics for Windows, and Lotus'
Freelance Graphics for Windows.
The Consumer products include SuperPaint, DateBook Pro and TouchBase Pro
software. Each product has numerous competitors, and price competition is quite
intense in this market.
SuperPaint software combines painting, drawing, and image-enhancement
capabilities in a single program for general business users and graphics
professionals. It competes with UltraPaint and Artworks from Deneba Software,
DeskPaint/DeskDraw from Zedcor, and the combination of MacPaint and MacDraw from
Claris.
DateBook Pro for the Macintosh competes with Now Up-To-Date from Now Software,
DayMaker from Pastel Software, and CalendarMaker from CE Software. As a Personal
Information Manager (PIM) integrated with TouchBase, it competes with ACT from
Symantec.
TouchBase Pro for the Macintosh and TouchBase for Windows is a contact manager
that competes with Now Contact from Now Software, Dynodex from Portfolio
Systems, InTouch from Advanced Software, Ecco from Arabesque, and AddressBook
Plus from Spinnaker. As a PIM integrated with DateBook, it competes with ACT
from Symantec.
TRAINING
Adobe's Classroom in a Box curriculum kit is available to third-party training
companies, consultants and educational institutions that teach Adobe
Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and complementary programs. In
addition, Adobe publishes a line of reference books through Adobe Press, a joint
book publishing venture between the
14
<PAGE>
Company and Macmillan Computer Publishing, which also provides training to end
users. These products, as well as the Company's "Train the Trainer" classes,
generate revenue and promote Adobe application products.
MANUFACTURING
Duplication of disks, printing and assembly of the components are performed
primarily by outside parties in the United States for the United States and
Pacific Rim markets. Shipment of completed products is performed by the Company.
Disk duplication for European language versions of the Company's products is
managed through the European headquarters. The duplicated disks of European-
language versions of products are then forwarded to McQueen Holdings Limited
("McQueen"), an affiliate of the Company in Scotland, which prints and assembles
the components and ships the completed product. Quality control tests are
performed on all duplicated disks and finished products.
To date, Adobe has not experienced significant difficulties in obtaining raw
materials for the manufacture of its products or in the duplication of disks,
printing and assembly of components, although an interruption in production by a
supplier could result in a delay in shipment of Adobe's products. There was no
material backlog of orders as of November 25, 1994.
15
<PAGE>
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Since the personal computer software industry is characterized by rapid
technological change, a continuous high level of expenditures is required for
the enhancement of existing products and the development of new products. Adobe
primarily develops its software internally. The Company sometimes acquires
products developed by others by purchasing the stock or assets of the business
entity that held ownership rights to the technology. In other instances, Adobe
has licensed or purchased the intellectual property ownership rights of programs
developed by others with license or technology transfer agreements that may
obligate the Company to pay royalties, typically based on a percentage of the
revenues generated by those programs.
During the years ended November 25, 1994, November 26, 1993, and November 27,
1992, the Company's research and development expenses, including costs related
to contract development, were $99.0 million, $86.7 million and $65.2 million,
respectively. During 1994, the Company acquired LaserTools Corporation and
Compumation, Incorporated, and $15.5 million was allocated to in-process
research and development, and was expensed at the time of these acquisitions. In
1993, the Company acquired two software developers: AH Software, Inc. (doing
business as After Hours Software) and The Company of Science & Art.
Approximately $4.3 million of the total purchase price for these two companies
was allocated to in-process research and development, and was expensed at the
time of acquisition. In 1992, the Company acquired two related companies, OCR
Systems Incorporated and Nonlinear Technologies, Incorporated, and wrote off
$6.3 million of in-process research and development at the time of the
acquisitions.

<PAGE>
PRODUCT PROTECTION
Adobe regards its software as proprietary and protects it with copyrights,
patents, trademarks, trade secret laws, internal and external nondisclosure
precautions, and restrictions on disclosure and transferability that are
incorporated into its software license agreements. The Company protects the
source code of its software programs as trade secrets, and makes source code
available to OEM customers only under limited circumstances and specific
security and confidentiality constraints.
The Company's products are generally licensed to end users on a "right to use"
basis pursuant to a license that is nontransferable and restricts the use of the
products to the customer's internal purposes on a designated number of printers
or computers. The Company also relies on copyright laws and on "shrink wrap"
licenses that are not signed by the end user. Copyright protection may be
unavailable under the laws of certain countries. The enforceability of "shrink
wrap" licenses has not been conclusively determined. Adobe has obtained many
patents and has registered numerous trademarks and logos in the United States
and foreign countries.
Policing unauthorized use of computer software is difficult, and software piracy
is a persistent problem for the software industry. This problem is particularly
acute in international markets. Adobe conducts vigorous anti-piracy programs.
Adobe products do not contain copy protection, except on copies for
international distribution in certain countries, and except for its highest
priced and specialized prepress products, TrapWise and PressWise. Many products,
including PageMaker 5.0, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, incorporate
network copy-detection features. These capabilities help encourage compliance
with the Company's license agreements by alerting customers about certain
concurrent usage problems over a given network. Network copy detection has
become increasingly popular among higher priced software products.
Adobe believes that, because computer software technology changes and develops
rapidly, patent, trade secret and copyright protection are less significant than
factors such as the knowledge, ability and experience of its personnel, name
recognition, contractual relationships and ongoing product development.

EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1994, Adobe employed 1,565 people, none of whom are
represented by a labor union. The Company has not experienced work stoppages and
believes its employee relations are good. Competition in recruiting personnel in
the software industry is intense. Adobe believes its future success will depend
in part on its continued ability to recruit and retain highly skilled
management, marketing and technical personnel.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
A special meeting of shareholders was held on August 31, 1994.
A proposal to approve and adopt the Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganizaton (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 13, 1994, among Adobe,
P Acquisition Corp ("Merger Sub") and Aldus Corporation ("Aldus"), and to
approve the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into Aldus pursuant to
the Merger Agreement and the issuance of shares of Adobe common stock in the
Merger was approved by the shareholders. This proposal received the following
votes:
For: 35,704,518
Against: 158,725
Abstain: 519,701
As a result of the Merger, Aldus shareholders received 1.0 share of Adobe common
stock for each share of their Aldus common stock, and Aldus became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Adobe.
Also, a proposal to approve and adopt an amendment (the "By-Law Amendment") to
Adobe's Restated By-Laws to increase the maximum authorized number of directors
from seven to eight. Approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the
issuance of shares of Adobe common stock in the Merger is a condition to such
amendment of Adobe's Restated By-Laws. This proposal received the following
votes:
For: 35,878,867
Against: 186,130
Abstain: 534,240
In addition, a proposal to approve Adobe's 1994 Performance and Restricted Stock
Plan (the "Performance Plan"). This Performance Plan is an amendment and
restatement of the 1989 Restricted Stock Plan which increases by 500,000 the
number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan and provides for
performance-based awards. This proposal received the following votes:
For: 35,201,112
Against: 5,137,626
Abstain: 316,922
Broker non-votes are included in the determination of the number of shares
present and voting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the
Company's annual meeting of shareholders. They are not, however, counted for
purposes of determining the number of votes cast for a proposal.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "ADBE". On December 30, 1994, there were 2,211 holders of record of the
Company's common stock. Because many of such shares are held by brokers and
other institutions on behalf of shareholders, the Company is unable estimate the
total number of shareholders represented by these record holders. The following
table sets forth the high and low sales price per share of the Company's common
stock, and the dividends paid per share, for the periods indicated, as adjusted
for a two-for-one stock split effective July 1993.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION (PRESENTED IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE
AMOUNTS) SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Adobe develops, markets and supports computer software products and technologies
that enable users to create, display, print and communicate electronic
documents. The Company licenses its technology to major computer and publishing
suppliers, and markets application software products and typeface products for
authoring and editing visually rich documents, including digital and video
output. The Company distributes its products through a network of original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers, distributors and dealers, and value-
added resellers (VARs) and system integrators. The Company has operations in the
Americas, Europe and the Pacific Rim.
In August 1994, the Company acquired Aldus Corporation ("Aldus"). Aldus began
operations in 1984 and created computer software solutions that help people
throughout the world effectively communicate information and ideas. Aldus
focused on three lines of business: applications for the professional print
publishing, graphics and prepress markets; applications for the general consumer
market; and applications for the interactive publishing market. To effect the
combination, approximately 14.2 million shares of Adobe's common stock were
issued in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Aldus. The merger
was accounted for by the pooling of interests method, and accordingly, all
annual and interim financial information prior to the merger has been restated
to combine the results of the Company and Aldus. In connection with the merger,
the Company recorded $14.6 million of merger transaction costs and $57.6 million
of restructuring costs in the fourth quarter of 1994. In addition, the Company
incurred one-time expenses that are not included in the restructuring charge but
were related to the Aldus acquisition. These charges included writing off
certain capitalized software development costs, transition personnel bonuses,
and relocation expenses among others, and totaled approximately $10.1 million.
REVENUE

TOTAL REVENUE $597.8 15% $520.2 18% $440.1
</TABLE>
In 1994, the Company's worldwide revenue grew 15 percent over the prior year,
compared with revenue growth of 18 percent in 1993 over 1992.
Revenue growth in 1994 and 1993 is attributable to an increase in application
products revenue resulting from the release of new and enhanced products, as
well as growth in the
24
<PAGE>
Company's royalty revenue from licensing its PostScript interpreter to OEM
customers. Product unit volume (as opposed to price) growth was the principal
factor in the Company's revenue growth in application products revenue. The
continued decline in laser printer prices was offset by increases in shipments
of the Configurable PostScript Interpreter (CPSI), resulting in an increase in
1994 licensing revenues.

LICENSING $156.7 7% $146.2 -4% $152.7
Percentage of
total revenue 26.2% 28.1% 34.7%
</TABLE>
Licensing revenue is derived from shipments by OEM customers of products
containing the PostScript interpreter and the Display PostScript system. Such
products include printers in both Roman and Japanese languages, imagesetters and
workstations. Licensing revenue is also derived from shipments of products
containing CPSI by OEM customers. CPSI is a fully functional PostScript
interpreter that resides on the host computer system rather than in a dedicated
controller integrated into an output device. The configuration flexibility of
CPSI allows OEMs and software developers to create and market a variety of
PostScript products independently of controller hardware development.
The number of units shipped by OEMs continued to grow on an annual basis in 1994
and 1993. Royalty per unit is generally calculated as a percentage of the end
user list price of a printer. During 1993, several of the Company's OEMs
introduced lower end printers, resulting in a shift in product mix to a lower
average list price, and accordingly a decline in licensing revenue compared to
1992. While the product mix shift continued in 1994, shipments of products
containing the PostScript interpreter were supplemented by increased shipments
of several new products containing CPSI, producing increased licensing revenue
in 1994 over 1993.
The Company has seen year-to-year increases in the number of OEM customers from
which it is receiving licensing revenue, demonstrating continued acceptance of
PostScript software, as well as reflecting a diversification of the Company's
customer base across Macintosh, IBM PC and compatibles, and multiple platform
markets. No OEM customer accounted for more than 10 percent of the Company's
total revenue in 1994.

</TABLE>
Application products revenue is derived from shipments of application software
programs marketed through retail and distribution channels; however, the
information products are becoming more widely distributed through VARs and
systems integrators.
Application products revenue grew in 1994 and 1993 due to increased demand for
Adobe
25
<PAGE>
Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and PageMaker for both the Macintosh and Windows
platforms. In addition, the release of new versions of Adobe Illustrator, for
the Macintosh, and Adobe Photoshop and PageMaker, for the Macintosh and Windows
platforms, contributed to the revenue growth in 1994 and 1993. The Macintosh
versions include new features and native support for the Power Macintosh
computers. The release of Aldus FreeHand 4.0 (divested by the Company in January
1995) for Windows and the Power Macintosh platforms also contributed to 1994
revenue growth. Localized versions for the Japanese market of Adobe Photoshop,
Adobe Illustrator and PageMaker for the Macintosh platform also contributed to
revenue growth from application products, while reduced sales for individual
typeface packages offset a portion of the revenue growth in 1994. In addition,
increasing sales for Adobe Premiere, a video editing and sequencing tool; After
Effects, a video post-production special effects tool; and Fetch, a digital
media cataloging and retrieval tool, contributed to the increase in application
products revenue growth. Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop were also shipped
for selected UNIX platforms in 1994, contributing to product revenue increases.

DIRECT COSTS $111.8 16% $96.7 10% $87.9
Percentage of

</TABLE>
Direct costs include royalties; amortization of typeface production costs;
amortization of acquired technologies; and direct product, packaging and
shipping costs. Typeface production costs were fully amortized in 1994.
Licensing revenue typically has higher gross margins than application products
revenue; therefore, revenue mix will affect overall gross margins. During 1994,
the revenue mix of application products as a percentage of total revenue
increased to 73.8 percent, compared to 71.9 percent during 1993, while direct
costs as a percentage of total revenue were 18.7 percent, compared to 18.6
percent in 1993. The increase in direct costs, in absolute dollars, has been
mitigated by actions taken by the Company to reduce direct costs. In 1993, the
Company achieved lower per unit manufacturing costs for certain products,
reduced royalty agreement rates, and reduced typeface production costs
amortization, all of which contributed to minimal growth of 1994 direct costs as
a percentage of total revenue.
The Company also delivers its type library on its Type On Call CD-ROM media, and
end users wishing to license typeface designs call the Company with a credit
card number to receive the unlocking code for the desired typeface. This method
of delivery also contributes to reduced direct costs. Other applications are
also available through the Company's distributors on CD-ROM.

DEVELOPMENT $99.0 14% $86.7 33% $65.2
Percentage of

</TABLE>
Research and development expenses consist principally of salaries and benefits
for software developers, contracted development efforts, related facilities
costs, and expenses associated with computer equipment used in software
development.
Research and development expense has increased significantly over the last three
years as the Company invested in new technologies, new product development, and
the infrastructure to support such activities. The increase reflects the
expansion of the Company's engineering staff and related costs required to
support its continued emphasis on developing new products and enhancing existing
products. Many of these engineers are working with OEM customers to design and
implement PostScript Level 2 devices. The Company has begun working with many of
its OEM customers in a co-development program. This allows customers to be more
self-sufficient in new device development by taking on more of the
implementation task themselves rather than relying so heavily on the Company's
engineers. While this mitigates certain costs, the Company continues to make
significant investments in development of its PostScript and application
software products.
The Company believes that continued investments in research and development are
necessary to remain competitive in the marketplace, and are directly related to
continued, timely development of new and enhanced products. The Company intends
to continue recruiting and hiring experienced software developers but expects
that research and development expenditures in 1995 will approximate current
spending levels as a percentage of revenue.

</TABLE>
In the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed," software development expenditures on Adobe products, after
achieving technological feasibility, were deemed to be immaterial. Certain
software development expenditures on Aldus products have been capitalized and
are being amortized over the
27
<PAGE>
lives of the respective products. In the fourth quarter of 1994, software
development expenditures on Aldus products, after reaching technological
feasibility, were immaterial and the Company anticipates this trend to continue
in the future. Accordingly, the fourth quarter of 1994 did, and all of 1995
will, reflect the additional expense of amortizing capitalized software
development costs acquired with Aldus, in addition to the actual development
expenditures (classified as research and development) made prior to achieving
technological feasibility.
Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased in 1994 due to
the amortization of PageMaker 5.0 released in the second half of 1993, and the
release of other new application products.

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses generally include salaries and

Company's sales, marketing, customer support and distribution personnel. Sales,
marketing and customer support expense also includes the costs of programs aimed
at increasing revenue, such as advertising, trade shows and other market
development programs.
Increases in sales, marketing and customer support expenses are due to increased
advertising and promotional expenditures for upgrades of existing products and
further development of customer and technical support services to support a
growing installed base of customers.
Continuing efforts to expand markets and increase penetration into targeted
software markets, and increasing competition in the software industry, are
expected to cause 1995 sales, marketing and customer support expenditures to
approximate the same spending levels as a percentage of revenue.

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and

resources, legal, information services and administrative personnel of the
Company. General and administrative expenses also include outside legal and
accounting fees, bad debts, and expenses associated with computer equipment and
software used in the administration of the business.
During 1993, the growth in spending on general and administrative expenses was
28
<PAGE>
attributable to the growth in the systems, processes and people necessary to
support overall increases in the scope of the Company's operations, as well as
additional costs incurred for legal defenses and settlement of an Aldus class-
action securities lawsuit. General and administrative spending decreased as a
percentage of revenue in 1994 from 1993 due to a reduction of salary and
depreciation expense resulting from restructuring activities, as well as reduced
legal expenditures.
The Company expects general and administrative spending to be a lower percentage
of revenue in 1995 than was achieved in 1994.

</TABLE>
During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded merger transaction and
restructuring costs associated with the acquisition of Aldus of $14.6 million
and $57.6 million, respectively. The restructuring costs included $46.5 million
related to cash expenditures and noncash items of $25.7 million, consisting
primarily of write-offs of redundant information systems and equipment, and
duplicate product lines. As of November 25, 1994, the balance of $28.4 million
in accrued restructuring costs represents expected future cash expenditures,
most of which will be spent in 1995.
29
<PAGE>
To execute the merger, the Company incurred transaction costs consisting
principally of transaction fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants,
financial printing and other related charges to negotiate the merger, conduct
financial and technical due diligence, file appropriate regulatory documents and
solicit shareholder votes.
As a result of the merger, certain technical support, customer service,
distribution and administration functions have been or will be combined and/or
reduced. Such restructuring costs include severance and outplacement charges of
$20.8 million related to approximately 500 terminated employees. Affected
employees received notification of their termination by September 9, 1994, and
final assignments are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 1995.
As a condition to the merger, effective January 1995, the Company will no longer
sell and distribute FreeHand, the illustration program previously sold and
distributed by Aldus. In addition, PhotoStyler, an image and video editing
software tool, was discontinued in the fourth quarter of 1994, as the product
competed with certain existing products of the Company. The respective
inventories and capitalized software development costs and technologies of these
duplicate product lines were written off in the fourth quarter of 1994,
resulting in a $15.0 million charge to restructuring costs.
To facilitate the operations of the Company, the combined organization migrated
to common management information systems, which resulted in a write-off of the
book value of the abandoned systems and equipment. The write-off of abandoned
systems included in restructuring costs was $10.8 million. In addition,
redundant offices in Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States will be
consolidated. Lease and third-party contract termination payments totaling $11.0
million, resulting from the planned closure of 10 facilities, are accrued as
part of the restructuring costs.
The Company is unable to determine the effects that the merger and restructuring
actions will have on future operating results and the financial condition of the
organization. In addition to the acquisition-related expenses recognized in the
restructuring charge, the Company incurred approximately $10.1 million of
certain one-time charges that were recognized in operating expenses. These
charges included writing off certain capitalized software development costs,
transition personnel bonuses, relocation expenses and expenses incurred for
integrating the two companies' benefit plans.

Interest, investment and other income decreased by $3.8 million in 1994 from

was adversely impacted by $1.5 million in 1994, as the Company sold several
securities (acquired in the Aldus acquisition) for losses in principal created
by increases in interest rates during 1994, and for the write-off of an
investment in a privately held enterprise. Interest,
30
<PAGE>
investment and other income in 1993 included a gain of $3.9 million on the sale
of common stock held as an investment and a $1.0 million write-off of an
investment in a privately held enterprise. While the Company's cash balances and
short-term investments have increased each year due to profitable operations and
modest expenditures for capital outlays and other investments, 1994 interest,
investment and other income would have increased approximately $0.6 million
absent the 1993 net gain on the sales of common stock and the losses experienced
in 1994. Such increase is attributable to increased levels of cash invested and
a slight increase in interest earned on the Company's investments as driven by
slight increases in prevailing interest rates.

</TABLE>
The Company's effective tax rate in 1994 increased significantly over the
effective tax rates of 1993 and 1992, due primarily to one-time, nondeductible
merger transaction and restructuring costs. An analysis of the differences
between the statutory and effective income tax rates is provided in Note 9 to
the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. In 1995, the Company expects
its effective tax rate to approximate that of 1993 and 1992.

Net income for 1994 represents a 91 percent decrease from 1993 net income of
$66.5 million. Results of operations in 1994 included several one-time charges
that would not normally be included in the Company's operating results. A
reconciliation of the reported results of operations, to the results of
operations excluding these one-time charges for 1994, follows.

</TABLE>
Furthermore, the future effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 37
percent. Had this been in effect in 1994, the net income per share, excluding
the above one-time charges, would have been $1.39 per share.
Net income for 1993 increased 32 percent, including a $3.9 million gain on the
sale of an investment. Earnings per share were $1.11, a 35 percent increase from
1992. The one-time gain on the sale of an investment resulted in an increase in
earnings per share of $.04.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company believes that in the future its results of operations could be
impacted by factors such as the ability of the Company to integrate Adobe and
Aldus product lines,
32
<PAGE>
renegotiation of royalty arrangements, delays in shipment of the Company's new
products and major new versions of existing products, market acceptance of new
products and upgrades, growth in worldwide personal computer and printer sales
and sales price adjustments, consolidation in the OEM printer business, and
adverse changes in general economic conditions in any of the countries in which
the Company does business.
In connection with the merger with Aldus, the Company has sought to reduce
combined expenses by the elimination of duplicate or unnecessary facilities,
employees, marketing programs and other expenses. The Company believes that the
major impact of such reductions occurred in the fourth quarter of 1994 but
expects some additional impact in the first quarter of 1995. The Company expects
that these reductions will benefit future operating results, but the reductions
could adversely impact the earnings of the combined company. In addition, there
can be no assurance that the integration of the product lines of the two
companies will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.
As previously stated, the Company will no longer market FreeHand after January
1, 1995 and has made the decision to discontinue the marketing of PhotoStyler.
These two products aggregated $53.2 million of revenue and $35.4 million of
gross profit in 1994. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
replace this lost revenue or that it will be able to do so as profitably.
The Company's OEM customers on occasion seek to renegotiate their royalty
arrangements. The Company evaluates these requests on a case-by-case basis. If
an agreement is not reached, a customer may decide to pursue other options,
including licensing a PostScript language compatible interpreter from a third
party, which could result in lower licensing revenue for the Company.
With the acquisition of Aldus, the Company will derive a larger portion of its
revenues from its subsidiaries located in Europe and the Pacific Rim. Certain
transactions by these subsidiaries are denominated in foreign currencies. As a
result, the Company's operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates.
The Company's ability to develop and market products, including upgrades of
currently shipping products, that successfully adapt to current market needs may
also have an impact on the results of operations. A portion of the Company's
future revenue will come from these products. Delays in such introductions could
have an adverse effect on the Company's revenue, earnings or stock price. The
Company cannot determine the ultimate effect that these new products or upgrades
will have on its sales or results of operations.
Due to the factors noted above, the Company's future earnings and stock price
may be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. Any
shortfall in revenue or earnings from levels expected by securities analysts
could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of
the Company's common stock in any given period. Additionally, the Company may
not learn of such shortfalls until late in the fiscal quarter, which could
result in an even more immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of the
Company's common stock. Finally, the Company participates in a highly dynamic
industry, which often results in significant volatility of the Company's common
stock price.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $400.4 million as of
November 25, 1994, compared to $309.0 million as of November 26, 1993,
representing 64 percent and 58 percent of total assets, respectively. Cash
equivalents consist of highly liquid money market instruments. In 1994, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." In accordance with SFAS No. 115, prior period financial
statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle.
The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 115 was not material to the Company's
financial position and results of operations. Certain cash equivalents and all
of the Company's short-term investments, consisting principally of municipal
bonds, commercial paper, auction rate securities, United States government and
government agency securities, and asset-backed securities, are classified as
available-for-sale under the provisions of SFAS No. 115. The securities are
carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported
as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
The Company's cash balances and short-term investments have increased each year
due to profitable operations, but have been offset partially by modest
expenditures for capital outlays and other investments. In 1994, growth in cash
balances and short-term investments was reduced by increased corporate merger
and acquisition activity.

compared to $414.1 million as of November 26, 1993.
The Company has paid cash dividends on its common stock each quarter since the
second quarter of 1988. During 1994, the Company paid cash dividends of $.20 per
common share. The Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one stock
split on July 9, 1993, payable in the form of a stock dividend for shareholders
of record as of July 27, 1993, with a distribution date of August 10, 1993. All
share and per share data has been restated to reflect this stock split. The
declaration of future dividends is within the discretion of the Board of
Directors of the Company and will depend upon business conditions, results of
operations, the financial condition of the Company and other factors.

<PAGE>
Under its stock repurchase program, the Company expects to continue to
repurchase shares from time to time in 1995. These share repurchases are
intended to fund the employee stock purchase and stock option plans. Until the
merger with Aldus, the Company had engaged in a regular share repurchase
program. In 1995, the Company plans to continue that regular repurchase program.

Net working capital grew to $363.6 million as of November 25, 1994, compared to
$318.2 million as of November 26, 1993. Cash flows provided by operations during
1994 was $142.5 million. Cash generated from operations has been sufficient to
fund the Company's investment in research and development, and sales and
marketing activities.
Expenditures for property and equipment totaled $28.5 million. Such expenditures
are expected to continue, including computer systems for development, sales and
marketing, product support, and administrative staff. In addition, in 1994 the
Company paid approximately $14.8 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire
LaserTools Corporation, Compumation, Incorporated, Image Club Graphics,
Incorporated, and the remaining 20 percent interest in Aldus K.K. In the future,
additional cash may be used to acquire software products or technologies
complementary to the Company's business. Net cash provided by financing
activities during 1994 was $25.0 million, primarily resulting from the issuance
of common stock under employee stock plans.
The Company's principal commitments as of November 25, 1994 consisted of
obligations under operating leases, a real estate development agreement, and
various service and lease guarantee agreements with a related party. In 1994,
the Company entered into a real estate development agreement for the
construction of an office facility and in 1996 will enter into an operating
lease agreement for this facility. The Company will have the option to purchase
the facility at the end of the lease term. In the event the Company chooses not
to exercise this option, the Company is obligated to arrange the sale of the
facility to an unrelated party and is required to pay the lessor any difference
between the net sales proceeds and the lessor's net investment in the facility,
in an amount not to exceed that which would preclude classification of the lease
as an operating lease, approximately $52.0 million. The Company also is
required, periodically during the construction period, to deposit funds with the
lessor to secure the performance of its obligations under the lease and as of
November 25, 1994, the Company had deposited approximately $2.3 million in
securities. Also during 1994, the Company entered into various agreements with
McQueen Holdings Limited ("McQueen") whereby the Company has agreed to guarantee
obligations under operating leases for certain facilities utilized by McQueen,
and to guarantee certain levels of business between Adobe and McQueen. The
Company currently owns 10 percent of the outstanding stock in McQueen as a
result of the merger with Aldus.

The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, together with cash generated from operations, will provide
sufficient funds for the Company to meet its operating cash requirements in the
foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT
Management is responsible for all the information and representations contained
in the consolidated financial statements and other sections of this FORM 10-K.
Management believes that the consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate
in the circumstances to reflect in all material respects the substance of events
and transactions that should be included, and that the other information in this
FORM 10-K is consistent with those statements. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates of the
expected effects of events and transactions that are currently being accounted
for.
In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the consolidated financial
statements, management depends on the Company's system of internal accounting
control. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization, and are recorded properly to permit the preparation of
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. In designing control procedures, management recognizes
that errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur. Also, estimates and
judgments are required to assess and balance the relative cost and expected
benefits of the controls. Management believes that the Company's accounting
controls provide reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could
be material to the consolidated financial statements are prevented or would be
detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions.
The Board of Directors pursues its oversight role for these consolidated
financial statements through the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of
Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The Audit Committee
meets with management periodically to review their work and to monitor the
discharge of each of their responsibilities. The Audit Committee also meets
periodically with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the independent auditors who have free
access to the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors, without management
present, to discuss internal accounting control, auditing and financial
reporting matters.
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP is engaged to express an opinion on our consolidated
financial statements. Their opinion is based on procedures believed by them to
be sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial
statements are not materially misleading and do not contain material errors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Adobe Systems Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Adobe Systems
Incorporated and subsidiaries as of November 25, 1994, and November 26, 1993 and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 25, 1994. In
connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying
index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of Aldus Corporation, a company acquired by the Company in a business
combination accounted for as a pooling of interests, as described in Note 2 to
the consolidated financial statements, which statements reflect total assets
constituting 33 percent as of November 26, 1993, and total revenues constituting
40 percent in both fiscal 1993 and 1992, of the related consolidated totals.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Aldus
Corporation, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Adobe Systems Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of November 25, 1994, and November 26, 1993, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended November 25, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

NOTE 1.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OPERATIONS
Founded in 1982, Adobe Systems Incorporated ("Adobe" or the "Company") develops,
markets and supports computer software products and technologies that enable
users to create, display, print and communicate electronic documents. The
Company licenses its technology to major computer and publishing suppliers, and
markets application software products and typeface products for authoring and
editing visually rich documents, including digital and video output. The Company
distributes its products through a network of original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) customers, distributors and dealers, and value added resellers (VARs) and
system integrators. The Company has operations in the Americas, Europe and
Pacific Rim regions.
In August 1994, Adobe acquired Aldus Corporation ("Aldus"), a developer of
software applications for the professional publishing, graphics and prepress
markets; interactive publishing; and the general consumer market through a
pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been
restated, for all periods prior to the merger, to include the results of
operations, financial position and cash flows of Aldus.
FISCAL YEAR
The Company's fiscal year is a 52-/53- week year ending on the last Friday of
November.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Adobe and
its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany
accounts and transactions.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents consist of instruments with maturities of three months or less
at the time of purchase.
In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In
accordance with SFAS No. 115, prior period financial statements have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect of
adopting SFAS No. 115 was not material to the Company's financial position and
results of operations. Certain cash equivalents and all of the Company's short-
term and noncurrent investments, consisting principally of United States
government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, commercial paper,
auction rate preferred stocks, and asset-backed securities, are classified as
available-for-sale under the provisions of SFAS No. 115. The securities are
carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes,
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities are adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such
amortization is included in investment income. Realized gains and losses, and
declines in value judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale
securities are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is
based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on
securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest, investment
and other income.
The Company owns a minority interest in certain technology companies and a
majority interest in a limited partnership, established to invest in technology
companies, and accounts for such investments under the cost method.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency
is the local currency are translated from their respective functional currencies
to United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items
are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The
adjustment resulting from translating the financial statements of such foreign
subsidiaries is reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Certain other transaction gains or losses, which have not been material, are
reported in results of operations.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market (net realizable value).
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation of a building in Edinburgh, Scotland is calculated
using the straight-line method over 35 years. Depreciation of equipment, and
furniture and fixtures, is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to seven years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally five to nine years.
OTHER ASSETS
Acquired technology, goodwill and licensing agreements are stated at cost less
accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three years
for technology, five to ten years for goodwill, and three to six years for
licensing agreements. The Company periodically reviews the net realizable value
of its intangible assets and adjusts the carrying amount accordingly.
Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. Costs
incurred in the research and development of new software products and
enhancements to existing software products are also expensed as incurred until
the technological feasibility of the product has been established. After
technological feasibility has been established, any additional costs are
capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," and are included
in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Such costs are
amortized using the greater of the ratio of current product revenue to the total
current and anticipated product revenue or the straight-line method of the
software's estimated economic life, generally 9 to 24 months.

OTHER ASSETS (CONTINUED)
Typeface production costs comprise direct and indirect costs associated with the
production of typefaces to be used with the PostScript interpreter, or to be
distributed in shrink-wrapped packages to end users through the retail channel
or directly from the Company. Amortization is provided on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which is
generally three years.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Licensing revenue is recognized when the Company's OEM customers ship their
products incorporating Adobe's software to their end user customers. The Company
also enters into contracts with OEMs to provide research and development to
adapt the Company's software products to the OEMs' hardware products. Revenue on
such contracts is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method and is
included in licensing revenue. Deferred revenue comprises payments received in
advance of revenue recognized on the aforementioned contracts. Revenue relating
to OEM licenses stipulating fixed future payment streams in excess of 12 months
is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the licenses.
Application products revenue is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from
distributors is subject to agreements allowing limited rights of return and
price protection. The Company provides reserves for estimated future returns,
exchanges and price protection. The costs associated with other obligations,
consisting principally of the customer's right to use the Company's technical
hotline, have been immaterial during all periods presented.
DIRECT COSTS
Direct costs include royalties, amortization of typeface production costs,
amortization of acquired technologies, and direct product, packaging and
shipping costs.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company does not provide deferred income taxes for unremitted earnings of
foreign subsidiaries, as it is management's intent to reinvest these earnings
indefinitely.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
accounts receivable. The Company's investment portfolio consists of investment-
grade securities diversified among security types, industries and issuers. The
Company's investments are managed by recognized financial institutions that
follow the Company's investment policy. The Company's policy limits the amount
of credit exposure in any one issue and believes no significant concentration of
credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
Credit risk in receivables is limited to OEMs, and to dealers and distributors
of hardware and software products to the retail market. The Company adopts
credit policies and standards to keep pace with the evolving software industry.
Management believes that any risk of accounting loss is significantly reduced
due to the diversity of its products, end users and geographic sales areas. The
Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and requires letters of credit or other guarantees, whenever deemed
necessary.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is based upon weighted average common and dilutive
equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common
equivalent shares include stock options and restricted stock. Fully diluted
earnings per share for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were not materially different from
primary earnings per share.

MERGER WITH ALDUS CORPORATION
On August 31, 1994, the Company issued approximately 14.2 million shares of its
common stock in exchange for all of the common stock of Aldus. This business
combination has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly,
the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the combination

ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING COSTS
On August 31, 1994, the Company merged with Aldus, described in "Note 2 --
Merger with Aldus Corporation," and initiated a plan to combine the operations
of the two companies. On this date, the Company recorded a $72.2 million charge
to operating expenses related to the merger transaction and restructuring costs.
Merger transaction costs consist principally of transaction fees for investment
bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial printing and other related
charges. Restructuring costs include the elimination of redundant information
systems and equipment, severance and outplacement of terminated employees, the
write-off of certain assets related to product lines to be divested or
eliminated, and cancellation of certain contractual agreements.
The merger transaction and restructuring costs are summarized below:

ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING COSTS (CONTINUED)
The nature, timing and extent of restructuring costs follows:
SEVERANCE AND OUTPLACEMENT
As a result of the merger, certain technical support, customer service,
distribution and administrative functions were combined and reduced.
Restructuring included severance and outplacement charges related to
approximately 500 terminated employees. Affected employees had received
notification of their termination by September 9, 1994, and final assignments
are expected to be completed during the first quarter of 1995.
REDUNDANT INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT
To facilitate the operations of the Company, the combined organization migrated
to a common management information system, which resulted in the write-off of
the book value of the abandoned systems. The sale or disposal of duplicate
information systems and equipment was completed in the fourth quarter of 1994.
ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH DUPLICATE PRODUCT LINES
As a condition of the merger, the Company will no longer (after January 1995)
sell and distribute FreeHand, the illustration program previously sold and
distributed by Aldus. In addition, PhotoStyler, an image and video editing
software tool, was discontinued in the fourth quarter of 1994, as the product
competed with certain existing products of the Company. The respective
inventories and capitalized software development costs and technologies of these
duplicate product lines were written off in the fourth quarter of 1994.
CANCELLATION OF FACILITY LEASES AND OTHER CONTRACTS
The Company plans to consolidate duplicate offices in Europe, Japan, Canada and
the United States. Lease and third-party contract termination payments,
resulting from the planned closure of these facilities, are expected to continue
through the lease term or negotiated early termination date, if applicable.

As of November 25, 1994, the Company had United States tax credit carryforwards
of approximately $4 million, which expire in years 1997 through 2008. The
carryforwards are attributable to the premerger years of Aldus and are subject
to certain limitations on usage. The Company also has foreign operating loss
carryovers in various jurisdictions of approximately $13.5 million with various
expiration dates. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has
been established to fully offset the deferred tax assets related to foreign
operating losses due to uncertainties in utilizing these losses. The increase in
the valuation allowance in 1994 resulted from foreign losses for which no tax
benefit has been recognized.

PERFORMANCE AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
The Company's Performance and Restricted Stock Plan is an amendment and
restatement of the Restricted Stock Plan. In August 1994, shareholders approved
an amendment to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from
1,000,000 to 1,500,000. The Performance and Restricted Stock Plan provides for
the granting of restricted stock and/or performance units to officers and key
employees. Shares issued under this plan vest annually over three years but are
considered outstanding at the time of grant, as the shareholders are entitled to
dividends and voting rights. Performance units issued under this plan would
entitle the recipient to receive shares upon completion of the performance
period subject to attaining identified performance goals. As of November 25,
1994, 702,192 shares were outstanding under this plan, of which 101,787 were not
yet vested. As of November 25, 1994, no performance units had been issued.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
Under the terms of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employee
participants may purchase shares of the Company's common stock semiannually at
85 percent of the market price, on either the purchase date or the offering
date, whichever price is lower. In April 1994, shareholders approved an
amendment to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the
plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000.
PRETAX SAVINGS PLAN
In 1987, the Company adopted an Employee Investment Plan, qualified under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is a pretax savings plan
covering substantially all of the Company's United States employees. Under the
plan, eligible employees may contribute up to 18 percent of their pretax salary,
subject to certain limitations. There were 841 employees under the plan in 1994
and 720 employees under the plan in 1993. Commencing in 1992, the Company
matched a portion of employee contributions. Company matching contributions,
which can be terminated at the Company's discretion, were $0.7 million and $0.6
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. No matching contributions were made to
the plan in 1992.

CAPITAL STOCK
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
The Company's Shareholder Rights Plan is intended to protect shareholders from
unfair or coercive takeover practices. In accordance with this plan, the Board
of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one common stock purchase right
on each outstanding share of its common stock held as of July 24, 1990. Each
right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a share of
common stock at $230. The rights become exercisable in the following
circumstances:
* The rights become exercisable ten days after a public announcement by
another entity that it has acquired beneficial ownership of 20 percent
or more of the shares (and that is without the approval of the Board
of Directors) or, if earlier, a public announcement of another
entity's intention to commence a tender offer to acquire beneficial
ownership of 20 percent or more of the shares.
* The rights become exercisable if another entity engages in certain
self-dealing transactions with the Company or becomes the beneficial
owner of 20 percent or more of the shares.
* The rights become exercisable if the Company is acquired by any person
in a merger or business combination transaction, or if 50 percent or
more of the Company's assets or earnings powers are being sold to
another entity.
The rights are redeemable by the Company prior to exercise at $0.01 per right
and expire on July 24, 2000.
PUT WARRANTS
In a series of private placements in 1994 and 1993, the Company sold put
warrants entitling the holder of each warrant to sell one share of common stock
to the Company at a specified price. The Company received $719,000 and $694,000
for the sale of put warrants in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company's $6.9 million potential buyback obligation, as of November 26,
1993, was removed from shareholders' equity and recorded as put warrants. At the
prevailing market prices for the Company's common stock, there was no dilutive
effect on earnings per share in 1993. No put warrants were outstanding as of
November 25, 1994.

STOCK SPLIT
On July 9, 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one
split of the Company's common stock, payable in the form of a stock dividend.
The shares were distributed on August 10, 1993, to shareholders of record on
July 27, 1993. The share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the
effects of this split for all periods presented.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company has operating leases for its corporate headquarters, field sales
offices and certain office equipment that expire at various dates through 2001.
Rent expense for these leases aggregated $14.8 million, $17.0 million and $13.1
million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. As of November 25, 1994,
future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases are as
follows: 1995 -- $15.0 million; 1996 -- $11.5 million; 1997 -- $3.7 million;
1998 -- $1.3 million; 1999 -- $0.9 million; and $4.8 million thereafter.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
In 1994, the Company entered into a real estate development agreement for the
construction of an office facility and in 1996 will enter into an operating
lease agreement for this facility. The Company will have the option to purchase
the facility at the end of the lease term. In the event the Company chooses not
to exercise this option, the Company is obligated to arrange the sale of the
facility to an unrelated party and is required to pay the lessor any difference
between the net sales proceeds and the lessor's net investment in the facility,
in an amount not to exceed that which would preclude classification of the lease
as an operating lease, which is approximately $52.0 million. The Company also is
required, periodically during the construction period, to deposit funds with the
lessor to secure the performance of its obligations under the lease, and as of
November 25, 1994, the Company had deposited approximately $2.3 million in
securities.

ROYALTIES
The Company has certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and
licensing of certain products. While royalty expense is generally based on a
dollar amount per unit shipped, ranging from $0.25 to $63.00, certain royalties
are based on a percentage, ranging from 0.2 percent to 20 percent, of the
underlying revenue. Royalty expense was approximately $34.8 million, $32.4
million and $32.5 million for the years ended November 25, 1994, November 26,
1993, and November 27, 1992, respectively.
LEGAL ACTIONS
The Company is engaged in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company believes it has adequate legal defenses and believes
that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 13.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company holds a 10 percent equity interest in McQueen Holdings Limited
("McQueen") and accounts for the investment at cost. During 1994, the Company
entered into various agreements with McQueen, whereby the Company has contracted
with McQueen to perform printing, assembly and warehousing services, and has
agreed to guarantee obligations under operating leases for certain facilities
utilized by McQueen and to guarantee a certain level of business between the
Company and McQueen. The remaining aggregate contingent liability for nonpayment
of rent, through September 1999, for facilities occupied by McQueen was
approximately $2.3 million, and minimum monthly payments Adobe will make to
McQueen for certain services, over the next three years, are approximately $15.8
million. Purchases from McQueen amounted to $13.0 million, $12.6 million and
$11.0 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments are carried at fair
value, based on quoted market prices for these or similar investments. For other
investments, included in miscellaneous other assets, the estimated fair value is
determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation
methodologies, and the carrying amount of these investments approximates fair
value.
Put warrants outstanding as of November 26, 1993 are carried at the maximum
amount required to settle the potential obligations under the terms of the put
warrants. The fair value of the put warrants is not practically determinable,
because it fluctuates based on the Company's stock price and at any point in
time could be less than the carrying amount.
NOTE 15.
INDUSTRY SEGMENT REPORTING AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS
Adobe and its subsidiaries operate in one dominant industry segment. The Company
is engaged principally in the design, development, manufacture and licensing of
computer software. No customer accounted for more than 10 percent of the
Company's total revenue in 1994, 1993 or 1992.
The Americas operations include revenue and results of operations in North
America, South America, Mexico and Latin America, as well as licensing revenue
recognized on a worldwide basis. Licensing revenue is not available on a
geographic basis, because the source of licensing revenue is known only by the
OEMs' headquarters, and not necessarily by the geographic region providing the
revenue stream to the OEMs. Accordingly, all licensing revenue is included in
The Americas. European operations primarily include subsidiaries in the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Sweden, while Pacific Rim
operations include subsidiaries in Japan and Australia. Transfers between
subsidiaries are accounted for at amounts that are generally above cost and
consistent with rules and regulations of governing tax authorities. Such
transfers are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Identifiable
assets are those assets that can be directly associated with a particular
geographic area and subsidiary. Geographic information for each of the years in
the three-year period ended November 25, 1994 is presented on the following

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Adobe Systems Incorporated
We have audited the balance sheet of Aldus Corporation as of December 31, 1993,
and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1993 (not
presented separately herein). These financial statements are the responsibility
of Aldus' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statments referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Aldus Corporation at
December 31, 1993, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the
Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or by the holders
of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the

for the annual meeting of shareholders. Notices of any special meetings shall
specify in addition to the place, date and hour of such meeting, the general
nature of the business to be transacted thereat.
SECTION 2.4 NOTICE OF MEETINGS OR REPORTS.
Written notice of each meeting of shareholders shall be given not less
than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting
to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat. Such notice shall be given either

such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by him to
the corporation for the purpose of such notice. If no such address appears or

written communication addressed to the shareholder at the place where the
principal executive office of the corporation is located, or by publication at
least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said
office is located. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time
when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of
written communication.
The same procedure for the giving of notice shall apply to the giving

All such notices shall state the place, the date and the hour of such
meeting, and shall state such matters, if any, as may be expressly required by
the California Corporations Code.
Upon request by any person or persons entitled to call a special
meeting, the Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President or Secretary shall
within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request cause notice to be given to

thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request.
All other notices shall be sent by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, or if there be no such officer, or in the case of his neglect or
refusal to act, by any other officer, or by persons calling the meeting.
106
<PAGE>
SECTION 2.5 ADJOURNED MEETINGS AND NOTICE THEREOF.
Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum
is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the
shares, represented either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a
quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided
in Section 2.7 of these By-Laws.
When a shareholders' meeting is adjourned to another time or place,
notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof
are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; except that if
the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days or if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the
adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote
thereat.
At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business
which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
SECTION 2.6 VOTING.
Except as provided below or as otherwise provided by the Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws, a shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on the record date fixed for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting or, if no such date is fixed, the
date determined in accordance with law. Upon the demand of any shareholder made
at a meeting before the voting begins, the election of directors shall be by
ballot. No shareholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of
directors.
Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of
the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares
or vote them against the proposal, other than elections to office, but, if the
shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is voting
affirmatively, it shall be conclusively presumed that the shareholder's
approving vote is with respect to all shares said shareholder is entitled to
vote.
SECTION 2.7 QUORUM.
A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders. If a quorum is
present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the
meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the shareholders,
unless otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation.
107
<PAGE>
The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a
quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding
the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action
taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares
required to constitute a quorum.
SECTION 2.8 CONSENT OF ABSENTEES.
The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, if not duly called
and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting
duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person
or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the
shareholders entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a
written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an
approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall
be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the
meeting.
Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting, except when a person objects, at the beginning of the
meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened; provided, that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of
any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law or these By-
Laws to be included in the notice but not so included if such objection is
expressly made at the meeting.
SECTION 2.9 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.
Any action which may be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be
taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing,
setting forth the actions so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes which would
be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided, that except to fill a
vacancy as provided in Section 3.6 of these By-Laws, Directors may not be
elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares
entitled to vote for the election of Directors.
Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been
solicited in writing, notice of the following actions approved by shareholders
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing at least ten
(10) days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval:
108
<PAGE>
1. Approval of a contract or other transaction between the
corporation and one or more of its Directors, or between the corporation and any
corporation, firm or association in which one or more of its Directors has a
material financial interest.
2. Approval of any indemnification to be made by the
corporation of a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was or is an
agent of the corporation.
3. Approval of the principal terms of a reorganization.
4. Approval of a plan of distribution of the shares,
obligations or securities of any other corporation, or assets other than money,
which is not in accordance with the liquidation rights of the preferred shares
as specified in the Articles of Incorporation or a Certificate of Determination.
Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been
solicited in writing, prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action not
listed above which is approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than
unanimous written consent, shall be given to those shareholders entitled to vote
who have not consented in writing.
Such notice shall be given as provided in Section 2.4 of these
By-Laws.
SECTION 2.10 PROXIES.
Every person entitled to vote shares may authorize another person or
persons to act by proxy with respect to such shares. No proxy shall be valid
after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless
otherwise provided in the proxy.
SECTION 2.11 REGULATION OF CONDUCT OF SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS
At every meeting of the shareholders, the Chairman, if there is such
an officer, or if not, the President of the Corporation, or in his absence any
Vice President designated by the President or the Secretary, or in the absence
of the President or any Vice President or the Secretary a Chairman chosen by the
majority of the voting shares represented in person or by proxy, shall act as
Chairman. The Secretary of the Corporation or a person designated by the
Chairman shall act as Secretary of the meeting. Unless otherwise approved by
the Chairman, attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting is restricted to
shareholders of record, persons authorized in accordance with Article II of
these By-Laws to act by proxy, and officers of the corporation.
109
<PAGE>
The Chairman shall call the meeting to order, establish the agenda and
conduct the business of the meeting in accordance therewith or, at the
Chairman's discretion, it may be conducted otherwise in accordance with the
wishes of the shareholders in attendance.
The Chairman shall also conduct the meeting in an orderly manner, rule
on the precedence of, and procedure on, motions and other procedural matters,
and exercise discretion with respect to such procedural matters with fairness
and good faith toward all those entitled to take part. The Chairman may impose
reasonable limits on the amount of time taken up at the meeting on discussion in
general or on remarks by any one shareholder. Should any person in attendance
become unruly or obstruct the meeting proceedings, the Chairman shall have the
power to have such person removed from participation. Notwithstanding anything
in the By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at a meeting
except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11. The
Chairman of a meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the
meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
SECTION 2.12 ADVANCE NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTORS
NOMINATIONS
At an annual or special meeting of the shareholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting. To be properly brought before a meeting, business must be (a)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) properly brought before the meeting
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (c) properly brought before an
annual meeting by a shareholder, or (d) properly brought before a special
meeting by a shareholder, but if, and only if, the notice of a special meeting
provides for business to be brought before the meeting by shareholders. For
business to be properly brought before a meeting by a shareholder, the
shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of
the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder proposal to be presented at an
annual meeting shall be received at the Corporation's principal executive
offices not less than 120 calendar days in advance of the date that the
Corporation's (or the Corporation's predecessor's) proxy statement was released
to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting of
shareholders, except that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or
the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 calendar days
from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement,
or in the event of a special meeting, notice by the shareholder to be timely
must be received not later than the close of
110
<PAGE>
business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of
the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A shareholder's
notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder
proposes to bring before the annual or special meeting (a) a brief description
of the business desired to be brought before the annual or special meeting and
the reasons for conducting such business at the annual or special meeting, (b)
the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the
shareholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder, and (d) any
material interest of the shareholder in such business.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
SECTION 3.1 POWERS.
Subject to the limitations stated in the Articles of Incorporation,
these By-Laws, and the California Corporations Code as to actions which shall be
approved by the shareholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote, and subject to the duties of Directors as
prescribed by the California Corporations Code, all corporate powers shall be
exercised by, or under the direction of, and the business and affairs of the
corporation shall be managed by, the Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS.
The authorized number of Directors of the corporation shall not be
less than four (4) nor more than eight (8) and the exact number of Directors
authorized shall be eight (8). The exact number of Directors may be fixed
within the limits specified in this Section 3.2 by a By-Law duly adopted by the
shareholders or by resolution of the Board of Directors. The minimum or maximum
number of Directors provided in this Section 3.2 may be changed or a definite
number fixed without provision for an indefinite number, by a By-Law duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled
to vote.
SECTION 3.3 ELECTION, TERM OF OFFICE AND VACANCIES.
The directors shall be divided into two classes, designated Class I
and Class II, as nearly equal in number as reasonably possible, with any overage
allocated in the discretion of the Board of Directors. The initial term of
office of the Class I directors will expire at the 1992 annual meeting of
shareholders and the initial term of office of the Class II directors will
expire at the 1993 annual
111
<PAGE>
meeting of shareholders. At the 1992 annual meeting of shareholders and at each
annual meeting of shareholders thereafter, directors shall be elected, to
succeed directors of the class whose term expires, for a term of office to
expire at the second succeeding annual meeting after their election. All
directors, including directors elected to fill vacancies, shall hold office
until the expiration of the term for which elected and until their successors
are elected and qualified, except in the case of death, resignation or removal
of any director. The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a
director who has been declared to be of unsound mind by court order or convicted
of a felony. Vacancies on the Board of Directors not caused by removal may be
filled by a majority of the directors then in office, regardless of whether they
constitute a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. The shareholders may
elect a director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled, or which cannot be
filled, by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.4 RESIGNATION.
Any Director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the
Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors of
the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness
of such resignation. If the resignation is effective at a future time, a
successor may be elected to take office when the resignation becomes effective.
SECTION 3.5 REMOVAL.
Except as described below, any or all of the directors may be removed
without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of the
majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. No director may be removed
if the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to removal,
would be sufficient to elect a director if voted cumulatively at an election at
which (i) the same total number of votes were cast (or, if removal is sought
through action by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and
(ii) either the number of directors elected at the most recent annual meeting of
shareholders, or if greater, the number of directors for whom removal is being
sought, were then being elected.
SECTION 3.6 ORGANIZATION MEETING.
Immediately after each annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of
Directors shall hold a regular meeting for the purpose of organization, the
election of officers and the transaction of other business. No notice of such
meeting need be given.
112
<PAGE>
SECTION 3.7 OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS.
The Board of Directors may provide by resolution the time and place
for the holding of regular meetings of the Board; provided, however, that if the
date so designated falls upon a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at
the same time and place on the next succeeding day which is not a legal holiday.
No notice of such regular meetings of the Board need be given.
SECTION 3.8 CALLING MEETINGS.
Meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes shall
be held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the
Secretary or any two Directors of the corporation.
SECTION 3.9 PLACE OF MEETINGS.
Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at any place within
or without the State of California which may be designated in the notice of the
meeting, or, if not stated in the notice or there is no notice, designated by
resolution of the Board. In the absence of such designation, meetings of the
Board of Directors shall be held at the principal executive office of the
corporation.
SECTION 3.10 TELEPHONIC MEETINGS.
Members of the Board may participate in a regular or special meeting
through use of conference telephone or similar communications equipment, so long
as all members participating in such meeting can hear one another.
Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 3.10 constitutes presence in
person at such meeting.
SECTION 3.11 NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Written notice of the time and place of special meetings of the
Board of Directors shall be delivered personally to each Director, or sent
to each Director by mail, telephone, telegraph or electronic transmission.
In case such notice is sent by mail, it shall be deposited in the United
States mail at least four (4) days prior to the time of the holding of the
meeting. In case such notice is delivered personally, or by telephone,
telegraph or electronic transmission, it shall be so delivered at least
twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting.
Such notice may be given by the Secretary of the corporation or by the
persons who called said meeting. Such notice need not specify the purpose
of the meeting, and
113
<PAGE>
notice shall not be necessary if appropriate waivers, consents and/or
approvals are filed in accordance with Section 3.12 of these By-Laws.
SECTION 3.12 WAIVER OF NOTICE.
Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Director who signs a
waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the
meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of
notice to such Director.
The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however
called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a
meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if,
either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not present signs a
written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the
minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with
the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
SECTION 3.13 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors
may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board shall individually
or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such written consent or
consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board. Such
action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous
vote of such Directors.
SECTION 3.14 QUORUM.
A majority of the authorized number of Directors shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business. Every act or decision done or made by a
majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is
present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the Articles of
Incorporation, or the California Corporations Code, specifically requires a
greater number. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting as
provided in Section 3.15 of these By-Laws. A meeting at which a quorum is
initially present may continue to transact business, notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough Directors to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken
is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.
SECTION 3.15 ADJOURNMENT.
Any meeting of the Board of Directors, whether or not a quorum is
present, may be adjourned to another time and place by the vote of a majority of
114
<PAGE>
the Directors present. Notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting
need not be given to absent Directors if said time and place are fixed at the
meeting adjourned.
SECTION 3.16 INSPECTION RIGHTS.
Every Director shall have the absolute right at any time to inspect,
copy and make extra copies of, in person or by agent or attorney, all books,
records and documents of every kind and to inspect the physical properties of
the corporation.
SECTION 3.17 FEES AND COMPENSATION.
Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as
Directors; however, by resolution of the Board, non-employee Directors may
receive a fixed annual retainer for their services as Directors, as well as a
fixed fee, with or without expenses of attendance, for attendance at each Board
meeting, and each Board Committee meeting. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to preclude any Director from serving the corporation in any other
capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise, and receiving
compensation therefor.
ARTICLE IV
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND OTHER COMMITTEES
SECTION 4.1 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the
authorized number of Directors, appoint an executive committee, consisting of
two or more Directors. The Board may designate one or more Directors as an
alternate member of such committee, who may replace any absent member of any
meeting of the committee. The executive committee, subject to any limitations
imposed by the California Corporations Code, or by resolution adopted by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the authorized number of Directors, or imposed
by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, shall have and may
exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors.
SECTION 4.2 OTHER COMMITTEES.
The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the
authorized number of Directors, designate such other committees, each consisting
of two or more Directors, as it may from time to time deem advisable to perform
such general or special duties as may from time to time be delegated
115
<PAGE>
to any such committee by the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations
contained in the California Corporations Code, or imposed by the Articles of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws. The Board may designate one or more
Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
member at any meeting of the committee.
SECTION 4.3 MINUTES AND REPORTS.
Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings, which
shall be filed with the Secretary. All action by any committee shall be
reported to the Board of Directors at the next meeting thereof, and, insofar as
rights of third parties shall not be affected thereby, shall be subject to
revision and alteration by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 4.4 MEETINGS.
Except as otherwise provided in these By-Laws or by resolution of the
Board of Directors, each committee shall adopt its own rules governing the time
and place of holding and the method of calling its meetings and the conduct of
its proceedings and shall meet as provided by such rules, and it shall also meet
at the call of any member of the committee. Unless otherwise provided by such
rules or by resolution of the Board of Directors, committee meetings shall be
governed by Sections 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13 of these By-Laws.
SECTION 4.5 TERM OF OFFICE OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
The term of office of any committee member shall be as provided in the
resolution of the Board of Directors designating him but shall not exceed his
term as a Director. Any member of a committee may be removed at any time by
resolution adopted by Directors holding a majority of the directorships, either
present at a meeting of the Board or by written approval thereof.

Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the

TAXES
8.1 Real Estate Taxes.
(a) From and after the Improvements Commencement Date, Tenant shall
pay directly to the appropriate taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes. If the
Improvements Commencement Date occurs or the Term expires or otherwise
terminates at any time other than the beginning or end of a taxable year,
Tenant's obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated on the basis of a
365-day year, so as to include only that portion of the taxable year which is a
part of the Term. Unless a termination of the Lease results from the purchase
of the Premises pursuant to Article 20 below, any Real Estate Taxes levied
against the Premises which accrue during the Term of this Lease but which would
not be due and payable to the appropriate taxing authority until after the
expiration of the Term of this Lease (as the same may be extended) shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord upon such termination. Landlord shall pay such amounts to
the appropriate taxing authority on a timely basis. Landlord shall pay any Real
Estate Taxes accruing during the Interim Period to the extent such Real Estate
Taxes are payable by the ground lessee under the terms of the Ground Lease
during such period.
(b) Except to the extent that Real Estate Tax bills and statements are
sent directly to Tenant by the taxing authority, upon receipt by Landlord of the
tax bills or statements, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to promptly advise
Tenant in writing of all Real Estate Taxes and shall deliver copies of all
applicable tax bills or statements to Tenant. Tenant shall pay directly to the
taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes prior to the later of (i) thirty (30)
days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a copy of such bills and
statements referred to above, or (ii) five (5) days prior to delinquency. As
used herein, the term "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean any and all taxes,
governmental fees and similar charges or assessments levied or assessed against
the Improvements and/or the Land including, without limitation, ad valorem taxes
and special assessments applicable to real property, as well as any taxes (as
defined in Section 402.1 of the Ground Lease) and other amounts payable under
Section 402 of the Ground Lease; provided, however, that Real Estate Taxes shall
not include any Landlord Income Taxes. Real Estate Taxes shall also include any
and all documentary, transfer, sales, mortgage, recording or similar taxes
imposed on Landlord or Tenant in connection with (i) the original acquisition of
the Premises by Landlord, (ii) any transfer of the Premises to Tenant pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, or (iii) any sale of the Premises to a third party
pursuant to the terms of this Lease. As used herein, the term "Landlord Income
Taxes" shall mean any and all income, franchise, gains, gift, succession, excess
profits, gross receipts, revenue, estate, rental, or similar taxes or taxes in
lieu thereof imposed upon Landlord or any party other than Tenant (or an
affiliate thereof) and any withholding tax imposed as a collection device for,
in lieu of, or otherwise related to any of the foregoing without regard to
whether such tax
146
<PAGE>
is required to be collected by Tenant and without regard to whether Tenant would
be liable for such withholding tax in the event it failed to so withhold. For
purposes of the foregoing, an income tax shall include, without limitation, any
tax imposed under the United States Internal Revenue Code or the California Bank
and Corporation Tax Law as well as any tax which could qualify as an "income
tax" under United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.901-2 (except to the
extent any such statute or regulation is subsequently modified to include a tax
or other governmental charge of a materially different type and nature from the
taxes currently described therein) and any income tax which may be payable under
the laws of any jurisdiction either now or in the future. Real
Estate Taxes for any given tax year shall exclude assessment installments that
are not due and payable during such tax year.
8.2 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay directly to the
appropriate taxing authorities prior to delinquency any and all taxes and
assessments levied or assessed during the Term upon or against Tenant's
furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and any other personal property in the
Premises.
8.3 Right to Contest. Tenant shall not be required to pay any Real
Estate Taxes or any other taxes for which Tenant is liable hereunder (including,
without limitation, any taxes for which Tenant is required to indemnify Landlord
under Section 23.1) (including penalties and interest), so long as (i) Tenant
shall contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings
in such a manner to prevent the tax sale of any portion of the Premises and (ii)
the position to be taken by Tenant pursuant to such contest would have a
realistic possibility of success if litigated. For purposes of this Lease,
Tenant may conclusively establish that a position to be taken in a contest would
have a realistic possibility of success if litigated by providing to Landlord a
letter from counsel stating an opinion to such effect. In the event of any such
contest, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination
thereof, pay and discharge the amounts determined to be due in accordance
therewith and with the provisions of this Lease, together with any penalties,
fines, interest, costs and expenses that may have accrued thereon or that may
have resulted from Tenant's contest. Tenant also shall have a right to contest
any taxes for which it is liable hereunder, but with regard to which the
position to be taken pursuant to such contest would not have a realistic
possibility of success if litigated, provided that Tenant pays such taxes on or
prior to the date upon which such taxes are asserted to be due by the relevant
governmental authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.3, Tenant shall have an unconditional right to contest
(without prior payment) any taxes imposed by law upon Tenant rather than upon
Landlord. Tenant's decision to pay any taxes prior to contesting its or another
party's underlying liability therefore shall not be deemed to imply or suggest
that the position to be taken in such contest would not have a realistic
possibility of success if litigated. Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant
in connection with the exercise of Tenant's right of contest contained herein,
and in the event that applicable law shall require that Landlord, rather than
Tenant, pursue legal proceedings for such contest, Landlord will initiate and
pursue such contest upon Tenant's request and in accordance with Tenant's
instructions
147
<PAGE>
(including, without limitation, Tenant's instructions as to the selection of
legal counsel and matters of strategy or settlement); provided, however, that
Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for the payment of any costs or
expenses in connection with any such contest or proceedings, and Tenant will
indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any such costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of court and
appraisal costs), reimbursing Landlord therefor upon demand (or paying such
costs and expenses directly when due, all as directed by Landlord). Tenant
shall be entitled to any refund of any taxes and penalties or interest from any
governmental authority to the extent the refund represents monies paid to the
governmental authority by Tenant or paid by Landlord and reimbursed by Tenant.
8.4 Additional Charges. All payments made by Tenant under this Lease
shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed pursuant to any Legal Requirement, excluding, however, any
Landlord Income Taxes (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings being hereinafter called "Additional Charges"). Tenant
shall be responsible for the payment of any such Additional Charges; and if any
such Additional Charges are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
Landlord hereunder, then the amounts so payable to Landlord shall be increased
by an amount ("Additional Amount") necessary to yield to Landlord (after payment
of all Additional Charges) the Base Rent and other amounts payable hereunder at
the rates or in the amounts specified in this Lease. Whenever any Additional
Charges are required to be withheld by Tenant, such Additional Charges shall be
deducted or withheld by Tenant, and shall be paid by Tenant to the appropriate
governmental authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. As
promptly as possible thereafter, Tenant shall send to Landlord for its own
account a copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence of payment)
received by Tenant showing payment thereof. If Tenant is required to pay
Landlord any Additional Amount, Landlord shall use its best efforts (consistent
with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change its
jurisdiction if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce
to the greatest extent possible the amount of, any such Additional Amount which
may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord be
otherwise disadvantageous to Landlord. If Landlord subsequently receives a
refund of any Additional Amounts, or if such Additional Amounts result in a net
benefit to Landlord, the amount of such refund or net benefit shall be paid to
Tenant within 30 days of the receipt of such refund or net benefit; provided,
however, that the payment to Tenant shall not exceed the Additional Amount to
which the refund or net benefit relates. The agreements in this Section 8.4
shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any Additional
Charges that become due during the Term.

or cancelled without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord.

with a general policyholder's rating, as rated by the most current available
"Bests" Insurance Reports, and no less than A/III and non-contributing.
9.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to the extent permitted by law and so long as any insurance
coverage maintained by Tenant is not diminished by reason thereof, Tenant hereby
(a) releases and waives any rights it may have against Landlord and its
officers, agents and employees on account of any loss or damages occasioned to
Tenant, its property or the Premises, and arising from any risk covered by any
fire and extended coverage insurance maintained by Tenant, whether or not due to
the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees,
invitees or other persons, and (b) waives on behalf of any insurer providing
such insurance to Tenant any right of subrogation that any such insurer may have
or acquire against Landlord or such persons by virtue of payment of any loss
under such insurance. Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause its insurance policies to contain a waiver of subrogation clauses in
accordance with the foregoing.
9.6 Indemnity. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify, hold and save
Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities or
damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs)
arising by reason of: (i) any and all injury or death of persons or damage to
property against which Tenant is obligated to maintain insurance for the benefit
of Landlord pursuant to this Article 9; (ii) the failure to obtain the waiver of
subrogation clause required by Section 9.5 hereof where such clause could have
been obtained through the exercise of Tenant's commercially reasonable efforts;
or (iii) the invalidation of such insurance policy required to be obtained
by Tenant hereunder by Tenant's insurer. Tenant's duty to indemnify Landlord
under this Section 9.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease with respect to events occurring during the Term.
ARTICLE 10
USE
10.1 Use.
(a) Permitted. Tenant may use the Premises for any purpose permitted
under the Ground Lease.
(b) Environmental Compliance.
1) Defined Terms. The term "Applicable Environmental Laws"
150
<PAGE>
shall mean any applicable laws, regulations or ordinances pertaining to health
or the environment, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 or otherwise (as
amended, hereinafter called "CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1976, as amended by the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste
Disposal Act Amendments of 1980, the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of
1984 or otherwise (as amended, hereinafter called "RCRA"), and California Health
& Safety Code Section 25501(j). The terms "hazardous substance" and "release"
as used in this Lease shall have the meanings specified in CERCLA, and the terms
"solid waste" and "disposal" (or "disposed") shall have the meanings specified
in RCRA; provided, in the event either CERCLA or RCRA is amended or superseded
by other laws so as to broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, such
broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment
or other laws: and, provided further, to the extent that the laws of the State
of California establish a meaning for "hazardous substance", "release", "solid
waste", or "disposal" which is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or
RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.
2) Tenant's Covenants. Tenant will not cause or permit the
Premises to be in violation of, or do anything or permit anything to be done
which subjects Landlord, Tenant or the Premises to any remedial obligations
under or which creates a claim or cause of action under, any Applicable
Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, CERCLA, RCRA, and the
California Health and Safety Code 25501(j), assuming disclosure to the
applicable governmental authorities of all relevant facts, conditions and
circumstances, if any, pertaining to the Premises and Tenant will promptly
notify Landlord in writing of any existing, pending or threatened investigation,
claim or inquiry of which Tenant has knowledge by any governmental authority in
connection with any Applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall obtain any
permits, licenses or similar authorizations to construct, occupy, operate or use
any Improvements, fixtures and equipment at any time located on the Premises by
reason of any Applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant will not use the Premises
in a manner which will result in the unlawful disposal or other unlawful release
of any hazardous substance or solid waste on or to the Premises and covenants
and agrees to keep or cause the Premises to be kept free of any unlawful
hazardous substance, unlawful solid waste or unlawful environmental contaminants
(including, without limitation, friable asbestos and any substance containing
asbestos deemed hazardous and unlawful by any Applicable Environmental Law) and
to remove the unlawful amounts of the same (or if removal is prohibited by law,
to take whatever action is required by law) promptly upon discovery at Tenant's
sole expense. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of any unlawful
disposal or other unlawful release of any hazardous substance, environmental
contaminants or solid wastes on or to the Premises or the Improvements. In the
event Tenant fails to comply with or perform any of the foregoing covenants and
obligations, after thirty (30) days' prior written Notice to Tenant, Landlord
may, but shall be under no obligation to, cause the
151
<PAGE>
Premises to be freed from the unlawful hazardous substance, unlawful solid waste
or unlawful environmental contaminants (or if removal is prohibited by law, to
take whatever action is required by law) and the reasonable cost of the removal
or such other action shall be a demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no
right to cause the removal of such materials so long as Tenant both: (1) is
diligently and in good faith proceeding to comply with Tenant's obligation to
remove the unlawful amounts of such materials; and (2) has the financial ability
to so comply. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant grants to Landlord and
Landlord's agents and employees access to the Premises, and the license to
remove the unlawful hazardous substance, unlawful solid waste or unlawful
environmental contaminants (or if removal is prohibited by law, to take whatever
action is required by law) and agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless
from all reasonable costs and expenses involved and from all claims (including
consequential damages) asserted or proven against Landlord by any party in
connection therewith. Upon Landlord's reasonable request for "good cause"
(defined below), at any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant will
provide at Tenant's sole expense an inspection or audit of the Premises from an
engineering or consulting firm approved by Landlord, indicating the
presence or absence of any hazardous substance, solid waste or environmental
contaminants located on the Premises. If Tenant fails to provide same after
sixty (60) days' notice, Landlord may order same, and Tenant grants to Landlord
and Landlord's employees and agents access to the Premises and a license to
undertake any testing reasonably required to obtain such inspection or audit.
The reasonable cost of obtaining such inspection or audit and any expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall be a demand obligation owing
by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease. For purposes of this Section
10.1(b)(2), "good cause" shall mean that Landlord shall have reasonable grounds
to believe that an unlawful release or unlawful disposal of hazardous substances
or solid wastes has occurred on the Premises.
(c) Compliance With Legal Requirements. Tenant shall at all-times comply
with all material Legal Requirements applicable to the Land or the Improvements
and/or the use thereof.
10.2 Contest of Legal Requirements. Tenant shall have the right at its
sole cost and expense to contest the validity of any Legal Requirements
applicable to the Premises by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in
good faith; and upon the request of Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, Landlord will join and cooperate with Tenant in such proceedings.
Subject to Section 8.3, any other provision of this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant's right to contest Legal Requirements must be exercised
in such a manner as to avoid any exposure of the Premises or any part thereof to
foreclosure or execution sale or exposure of Landlord to civil or criminal
penalties arising from Tenant's non-compliance with such Legal Requirements.
Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord against, and hold Landlord harmless
from, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, injury or expense (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) which Landlord may sustain or
suffer by reason of Tenant's failure or delay in complying with, or Tenant's
contest of, any such Legal Requirements (or Landlord's
152
<PAGE>
contest, if requested in writing by Tenant), and Tenant's duty to indemnify
Landlord under this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 11
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
11.1 Services to the Premises. At Tenant's sole cost and expense, Tenant
shall make its own arrangements for the provision of all utilities and services
to be provided to or consumed on the Premises, including, without limitation,
air conditioning, ventilation, heating, electric power, telephone, water (both
domestic and fire protection), sanitary sewer, storm drain, natural gas and
janitorial services, including for the installation, maintenance and repair of
service lines and meters to measure Tenant's consumption of such utilities.
ARTICLE 12
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES
12.1 Tenant Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
Tenant shall maintain the Premises and the Improvements in good repair, normal
wear and tear and casualty excepted. All maintenance that Tenant is obligated
to perform under this Section 12.1 shall be at the sole expense of Tenant.
12.2 Surrender of the Premises. Except as provided in Article 20, upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord in its then "AS-IS" condition, including, without
limitation, any condition resulting from: (i) wear and tear; (ii) obsolescence
and damage by fire or other casualty, act of God or the elements (subject to the
terms of Article 17); (iii) damage that is caused by Landlord, its agents,
employees or contractors; and (iv) any improvements, alterations, additions,
repairs, replacements, or decorations in, to or of the Premises or on the Land
which are not Improvements but which Tenant may elect to remain on the Land or
the Premises. Title to all improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
trade fixtures and personal property of Tenant which have not been funded by
Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 6 and located in or upon the Premises
or the Land, whether or not affixed to the realty, shall be and remain in Tenant
throughout the Term, and at any time during the Term of this Lease, the same may
be removed by Tenant, or, at Tenant's election, surrendered with the Premises,
in which event title to such surrendered property shall, if Landlord so elects
in Landlord's sole discretion, be deemed transferred to Landlord. Any of such
property that is not removed from the Premises or the Improvements on or prior
to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be considered
abandoned and Landlord may deal with it as Landlord elects.
ARTICLE 13
LIENS
13.1 Except for claims that Tenant or Devcon, with Tenant's approval, is
contesting in good faith in such manner as to avoid any exposure of the Premises
or any part thereof to foreclosure or execution sale, Tenant shall promptly pay
and discharge all claims for work or labor done, supplies furnished or services
rendered to the Premises, and shall keep the Premises free and clear of all
mechanics' and materialmen's liens in connection therewith.
153
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD
14.1 Further Mortgages or Encumbrances by Landlord. Except for the SBLF
Deed of Trust (which is hereby approved by Tenant) and as specifically permitted
in Article 21 and in the Construction Management Agreement, Landlord shall not
cause or create any mortgages, deeds of trust, or encumbrances to exist with
respect to the Premises at any time. Landlord agrees that it will not
materially modify the SBLF Deed of Trust nor will it cause any new bonds or
assessments to encumber the Premises without Tenant's approval which may be
withheld in Tenant's sole discretion.
14.2 Landlord's Right to Sell. Subject to Tenant's Purchase Option,
Landlord may not transfer all or any portion of its right, title and interest in
the Premises; provided, however that nothing contained in this Lease shall be

at any time and from time to time to sell or transfer all or any portion of its
right, title and estate in the Premises to: (1) a Landlord Affiliate; (2)
another financial institution or trust established by such an institution; or
(3) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
sale or transfer, to any Entity. Any sale or transfer by Landlord whatsoever
shall by its express terms recognize and confirm the right of possession of
Tenant to the Premises and Tenant's other rights arising out of this Lease shall
not be affected or disturbed in any way by any such sale, transfer, assignment
or conveyance (except for any disturbance resulting from a foreclosure sale
conducted pursuant to the laws of the State of California at which independent
third party bids were permitted, pursuant to the SBLF Deed of Trust, all subject
to the terms of Section 21.3)
14.3 Transfer of Funds and Property. At each time Landlord sells, assigns,
transfers or conveys the entire right, title and estate of Landlord in the
Premises and in this Lease, Landlord shall turn over to the transferee any funds
or other property then held by Landlord under this Lease and thereupon all the
liabilities and obligations on the part of the Landlord under this Lease arising
after the effective date of such sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance shall
terminate as to the transferor and be binding upon the transferee.
ARTICLE 15
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
15.1 Right to Assign.
(a) Tenant's Right. Tenant shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time during the Term, to assign all or any portion of its right, title
and estate in the Premises and in this Lease without approval by Landlord. Any
such assignee, immediate or remote, shall have the same right of assignment.
Any such assignment shall be evidenced by a written instrument, properly
executed and acknowledged by all parties thereto and, at Tenant's election, duly
recorded in the Official Records, wherein and whereby the assignee assumes all
of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such
assignment and assumption or any sublease permitted under Section 15.2 hereof,
Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities on the
part of Tenant theretofore or thereafter arising under this Lease.

enter into a "landlord agreement" with any subtenant of Tenant. Such agreement
shall provide that Landlord shall recognize the sublease and not disturb the
subtenant's possession thereunder so long as such subtenant shall not be in
default under its sublease, and an Event of Default is not then in existence and
continuing under this Lease. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord on
demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
in complying with Landlord's obligations under this Section 15.2(c).
15.3 Mortgage by Tenant. Tenant shall not have the right to mortgage,
pledge or otherwise encumber all or any portion of the right, title and estate

ARTICLE 16
EMINENT DOMAIN
16.1 Total or Substantial Taking. If title or access is taken for any
public or quasi-public use, or under any statute or by right of condemnation or
eminent domain, or by sale in lieu thereof (a "Taking") with respect to all of
the Premises, or if title to so much of the Premises or access thereto is Taken,
or if the Premises or access thereto is damaged, blocked or impaired by the
Taking, so that, in Tenant's sole discretion, the Premises or access thereto,
even after a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof, will no longer be
suitable for Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants') continued occupancy for the
conduct of Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants') business in a manner
consistent with the conduct of such business prior to such Taking, then in any
such event, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such Taking.
16.2 Partial Taking. If any part of the Premises, or access thereto, shall
be Taken, and the Premises or the remaining part thereof and access thereto will
be, in Tenant's sole discretion, suitable for Tenant's (and/or Tenant's
subtenants') continued occupancy for the conduct of Tenant's (and/or Tenant's
subtenants') business in a manner consistent with the conduct of such business
prior to such Taking, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease
shall continue, except that Base Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the decreased
Lease Investment Balance remaining after application thereto of the award made
to Landlord for such Taking.
155
<PAGE>
16.3 Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of the Premises is
Taken for temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason
thereof and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein
specified, the full amount of the Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, and,
except only to the extent that Tenant may be prevented from so doing by reason
of such Taking, Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other
terms, covenants and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed and
observed, as though the Taking had not occurred. In the event of any such
temporary Taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the
award made for the Taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise.
If the temporary Taking is for a term in excess of thirty (30) days, then the
Taking shall be treated as a permanent Taking and be governed by Sections 16.1
or 16.2, as applicable.
16.4 Damages. The compensation attributable to the Premises (in each case
the compensation or value shall be determined as of the date of the Taking)
awarded or paid upon any Taking (other than a temporary Taking, which shall be
governed by Section 16.3), whether awarded to Landlord, Tenant, or both of them,
shall be held by the Escrow Agent described in Section 17.3(b), and distributed
in the same manner as insurance proceeds pursuant to Section 17.3. For purposes
of this Section 16.4, references to the term "casualty" or similar terms in
Section 17.3 shall be deemed to refer to "Taking."
16.5 Notice and Execution. Immediately upon service of process upon
Landlord or Tenant in connection with any Taking relating to the Premises or any
portion thereof or access thereto, each party shall give the other Notice
thereof. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other all instruments
that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Article 16. Tenant
reserves the right to appear in and to contest any proceedings in connection
with any such Taking. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord on demand for
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
complying with Landlord's obligations under this Section 16.5.
16.6 Terms of Ground Lease. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing
provisions of this Article 16, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that in the event
of any inconsistency between the foregoing terms of this Article 16 and Article
XI of the Ground Lease, the terms of Article XI of the Ground Lease shall
control; and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease as a consequence
of a Taking unless Landlord shall also have the right to terminate the Ground
Lease as a consequence thereof (provided that Tenant may exercise the Purchase
Option under Section 20.1 at any time); Landlord shall not exercise any right to
terminate the Ground Lease without Tenant's prior approval, in Tenant's sole
discretion; Tenant shall restore the Premises to the extent provided in the
Ground Lease in the event this Lease and the Ground Lease are not terminated;
and the provisions of Section 16.4 above shall be applicable only to the
compensation allocated to the ground lessee under the terms of the Ground Lease
in the event of a Taking.
ARTICLE 17
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
156
<PAGE>
17.1 Casualty. If the Improvements are damaged or destroyed by fire
or other casualty, except as provided to the contrary in Section 17.2, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any abatement or reduction
in Base Rent, and Tenant, at Tenant's election, shall either (a) restore the
Improvements substantially to their condition prior to the damage or
destruction, or such other condition as Tenant shall elect, subject to
Landlord's approval in accordance with the terms of Section 12 of the
Construction Management Agreement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or
(b) not restore the Improvements, but perform, or cause to be performed, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, any work or service required by any Legal
Requirement for the protection of persons or property from any risk, or for the
abatement of any nuisance, created by or arising from the casualty or the damage
or destruction caused thereby.
17.2 Termination of Lease. In the case of: (a) any damage or casualty of
the Building, which in the good faith judgment of Tenant's Board of Directors
would render the Building either unsuitable or uneconomic for restoration or
continued use by Tenant; (b) the damage or destruction of all or substantially
all (as determined in good faith by Tenant's Board of Directors) of the
Building; or (c) the damage or destruction of the Building where restoration
cannot (as determined in good faith by Tenant's Board of Directors) reasonably
be completed either within 365 days or prior to the expiration of the
Term, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease. In the event Tenant
terminates the Lease pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall purchase
Landlord's interest in the Premises for a purchase price equal to the Purchase
Price for the Premises as such Purchase Price is defined in Section 20. 1. The
purchase of Landlord's interest in the Premises shall be pursuant to the terms
of Section 20.1, as applicable to the Premises. Upon the completion of such
purchase, this Lease and all obligations hereunder in respect of the Premises
shall terminate.
17.3 Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any fire or other casualty, the
proceeds of any insurance policies maintained by Tenant pursuant to Section 9.2
or 9.3 shall be held, applied and dealt with as follows:
(a) Any proceeds (per occurrence) of such policies attributable to the
Improvements below the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000)
or any proceeds directly attributable to improvements constructed on the
Property by Tenant solely with its own funds shall be paid directly to Tenant
and applied and used as Tenant may direct in its sole discretion for any
construction, restoration or reconstruction purposes in connection with any
improvements located on the Land which were destroyed, damaged or affected by
such casualty. Any portion of such proceeds which Tenant does not want to use
(subject to the terms of Section 17.3(c)) for any construction, restoration or
reconstruction shall be paid as follows (the order of payment as set forth below
shall be the "Distribution Formula"): (1) to Landlord (but only to the extent of
the then-existing Lease Investment Balance); and (2) with any remaining excess
to be paid to Tenant.
(b) Any proceeds (per occurrence) of such policies attributable to the
Improvements greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be
paid
157
<PAGE>
to an escrow agent ("Escrow Agent") mutually agreeable to the parties (but such
escrow agent shall not be a party which is related to or affiliated with either
of the parties to this Lease, but shall be bound by the terms of this Article
17). Such proceeds shall be invested by the Escrow Agent as Tenant may direct
(provided, however, that such proceeds may not be invested in any securities or
any debt obligations issued by Tenant). Such proceeds shall be paid by the
Escrow Agent to Tenant (or to third parties as Tenant may direct), as Tenant may
direct from time to time as restoration, construction or rebuilding progresses
to pay the cost of any restoration, construction or rebuilding which Tenant
elects to take place on the Land or any Improvements located upon the Land, so
long as Landlord reasonably determines that the following conditions are
satisfied at the time of such request for payment by Tenant: (i) the sum
requested has been paid or is then due and payable or will become due and
payable within thirty (30) days; (ii) Tenant has the financial ability
(taking into account the insurance proceeds held by the Escrow Agent) to
complete the restoration, construction or rebuilding which Tenant has elected to
perform; (iii) Landlord has approved the plans, if any, relating to the
restoration of Improvements; and (iv) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, such
restoration work which Tenant desires to perform in connection with the
Improvements can be completed prior to the expiration of the Term. Landlord
shall promptly upon request instruct the Escrow Agent to make the payments
requested by Tenant unless one of the four (4) conditions described above is not
satisfied at the time of such request. Any excess insurance proceeds existing
after either Tenant's completion of the restoration, construction or rebuilding
which Tenant elects to perform or Tenant's failure to comply with the funding
condition described in subitems (ii), (iii) and (iv) immediately above in this
Section 17.3(b), shall be paid pursuant to the Distribution Formula. If Tenant
elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant may use any insurance proceeds to pay the
Purchase Price described in Section 17.2, and all rights of Landlord in
insurance proceeds not used to pay the Purchase Price shall be assigned to
Tenant by Landlord at the time Tenant purchases Landlord's interest in the
Premises.
(c) If either: (1) Tenant has not delivered written notice to Landlord
within ninety (90) days after reaching final written settlement with all
insurance companies regarding the amount of proceeds to be paid for the casualty
in question, pursuant to which notice Tenant elects to either exercise some or
all of its termination rights under Section 17.2 and/or to fully or
partially repair or restore pursuant to Section 17. 1; or (2) Landlord
reasonably believes that Tenant has abandoned reconstruction or restoration work
which Tenant may have elected to perform (and Tenant shall have failed to
diligently recommence reconstruction or restoration work which Tenant is then
able to perform within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt from Landlord of
a Notice of Landlord's belief of Tenant's abandonment of the reconstruction or
restoration work); then, in either case, the proceeds attributable to the
Improvements shall be paid pursuant to the Distribution Formula.
(d) Any insurance proceeds paid to Landlord under this Article 17 shall
reduce the Lease Investment Balance by a like amount.
17.4 Terms of Ground Lease. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing
158
<PAGE>
provisions of this Article 17, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that in the event
of any inconsistency between the foregoing terms of this Article 17 and Section
8.02 of the Ground Lease, the terms of Section 8.02 of the Ground Lease shall
control; and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease as a consequence
of any damage or destruction unless Landlord shall also have the right to
terminate the Ground Lease as a consequence thereof (provided that Tenant may
exercise the Purchase Option under Section 20.1 at any time); Landlord shall not
exercise any right to terminate the Ground Lease without Tenant's prior
approval, in Tenant's sole discretion; Tenant shall restore or rebuild the
Premises in the manner and subject to the terms of the Ground Lease in the event
this Lease and the Ground Lease are not terminated; and the provisions regarding
the application of insurance proceeds provided for in Section 17.3 above shall
be subject to the terms of Section 8.02 of the Ground Lease and the allocation
of insurance proceeds between the ground lessor and ground lessee provided for
therein.

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a consolidated
basis, excluding, however, from the determination of total assets (i) all assets
which would be classified as intangible assets under generally accepted

other than a receiver appointed in any voluntary proceeding referred to in
Section 18.1(d), or the taking of possession of all or a substantial portion
of the Premises by any department of the city, county, state or federal
government, or any officer thereof duly authorized, by reason of the alleged
insolvency of Tenant without the consent or over the objection of Tenant, should
Tenant desire to contest the same in good faith, Tenant shall, within ninety
(90)
160
<PAGE>
days after the filing of the petition or after the appointment or taking of
possession, give Notice to Landlord that Tenant proposes to make the contest,
and the same shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as Tenant shall
prosecute the proceedings with due diligence and no part of the Premises shall
be exposed to sale by reason of the continuance of the contest.
18.3 Remedies. Landlord shall have the remedies specified below:
(a) Continue Lease. In connection with an Event of Default, Landlord
shall have the right to enforce, by suit or otherwise, all other covenants and
conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by Tenant and to exercise all
other remedies permitted by Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, or any
amendments thereof. Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant's breach
and abandonment and recover Base Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitation). Upon application by
Landlord, a receiver may be appointed to take possession of the Premises and
exercise all rights granted to Landlord as set forth in this Section 18.3.
(b) Terminate Lease. In connection with an Event of Default, Landlord may
terminate this Lease, by giving Tenant Notice thereof, at any time after the
occurrence of such Event of Default and whether or not Landlord has also
exercised any right under Section 18.2. In such event Tenant shall be obligated
to purchase the Premises for an amount equal to the Purchase Price described in
the Purchase Option contained in Section 20.1 below (that is, all accrued Base
Rent, Additional Rent and the Lease Investment Balance). Landlord shall also
have its other remedies at law (including its rights under the SBLF Deed of
Trust), provided, however, that Tenant's right to purchase the Premises pursuant
to Section 20.1 shall survive any termination of this Lease up through the date
of foreclosure sale under the SBLF Deed of Trust.
(c) Landlord's Continuing Obligation to Sell. Except in the case of a
foreclosure under the SBLF Deed of Trust, in the event Landlord obtains
possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease (because of
Tenant's default, lease expiration, or otherwise), Landlord shall be under a
continuing obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the
Premises to one or more unrelated third parties; provided, however, that
Landlord shall not be required to sell or attempt to sell any portion of the
Premises (i) in a manner, or under circumstances, that could materially impair
Landlord's ability to enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Lease (as
determined in Landlord's sole discretion) or (ii) at a time when market
conditions render it inadvisable to sell or attempt to sell the Premises (as
determined in Landlord's sole discretion). Upon the occurrence of any such sale
Landlord shall be obligated to pay to Tenant any excess of the amount realized
by Landlord in connection with such sale over the Purchase Price as defined in
Section 20.1 below. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount realized
by Landlord upon a sale of the Premises shall be net of Landlord's sale expenses
and other expenses incurred by Landlord but required to be paid
by Tenant pursuant to Section 20.1(c)(iv). Landlord's obligation to pay such
excess to Tenant shall survive any termination of this Lease.
161
<PAGE>
18.4 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
strict performance of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to
exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof and no acceptance
of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any breach shall constitute a
waiver of any such breach or of the term, covenant, or condition. No term,
covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by Tenant
or Landlord, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, terminated, altered or
modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord and Tenant. No
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every term,
covenant, and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
with respect to any other then existing subsequent breach thereof.
18.5 Effect of Assignment. Notwithstanding an Entity's prior assignment or
transfer of its interest as Tenant under this Lease, so long as Landlord has
been given Notice of such assignment pursuant to Sections 15.1 and 22.3,
Landlord shall give such Entity copies of all Notices required by this Article
18 in connection with any Event of Default, and such Entity shall have the
period granted hereunder to Tenant to cure such Event of Default, unless such
Entity shall have been released from all obligations arising under this Lease.
Landlord may not assert any rights against such Entity in the absence of such
Notice and opportunity to cure, so long as Landlord has been given Notice of
such assignment pursuant to Sections 15.1 and 22.3.
18.6 Landlord Cure Right. If Tenant fails to perform any covenant or
agreement to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, and if the failure or
default continues for thirty (30) days after Notice to Tenant (except for
emergencies and except for payment of any lien or encumbrance threatening the
imminent sale of the Premises or any portion thereof, in which case payment or
cure may be made as soon as necessary to minimize the damage to person or
property caused by such emergency or to prevent any such sale), Landlord may,
but shall have no obligation to, pay the same and cure such default on behalf of
and at the expense of Tenant and do all reasonably necessary work and make all
reasonably necessary payments in connection therewith including, but not limited
to, the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cure
any such failure to perform by Tenant so long as Tenant: (1) is diligently and
in good faith attempting to cure such matter and prosecuting such cure to
completion; (2) has the financial ability to so comply; and (3) commenced cure
of such matter within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Notice thereof
from Landlord. Failure by Tenant to comply with the above shall allow Landlord
to commence in a reasonable and customary manner and in good faith to attempt to
cure such matter. Upon demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
reasonable amount so paid, together with interest at the Default Rate from
the date incurred until the date repaid.
18.7 Landlord's Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant or
agreement to be performed by Landlord under Article 6, Section 14.1, Section
16.4, Article 20, Article 21, or Section 22.8 of this Lease (including, but not
limited to, Landlord's failure to keep the Premises free of any and all liens
created by or through Landlord except as approved by Tenant in writing), and if
the failure or default continues for thirty (30) days after Notice to Landlord
(except for emergencies and except for
162
<PAGE>
payment of any lien or encumbrance threatening the imminent sale of the Premises
or any portion thereof, in which case payment or cure may be made as soon as
necessary to minimize the damage to person or property caused by such emergency
or to prevent any such sale), Tenant may, but shall have no obligation to, pay
the same and cure such default on behalf of and, so long as such failure to
perform arises due to Landlord's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or
willful breach of this Lease, at the expense of Landlord and do all reasonably
necessary work and make all reasonably necessary payments in connection
therewith including, but not limited to, the payment of reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements incurred by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant shall have no right to cure any such failure to perform by Landlord so
long as Landlord is diligently and in good faith attempting to cure such matter.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord's liability under this Lease
shall in all events be limited as provided in Section 22.14 below.
ARTICLE s
QUIET ENJOYMENT
19.1 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants to secure to Tenant the quiet
possession of the Premises for the full Term against all persons claiming the
same, by, through or in the right of Landlord, subject to Landlord's rights and
remedies under Section 18 upon an Event of Default by Tenant. The existence of
any Permitted Title Exceptions shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of
Landlord's obligations hereunder. Tenant shall, immediately upon demand,
reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs, expenses and damages incurred or
paid by Landlord in the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Article
19 (except for any costs, expenses or damages arising from Landlord's willful
breach of this Lease). Landlord agrees that, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall not exercise the right to terminate
the Ground Lease specified in Section 1204 of the Ground Lease.
ARTICLE 20
TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE OR TERMINATE
20.1 Option To Purchase Premises.
(a) Purchase Option. At any time during the Term, Tenant shall have the
option ("Purchase Option") to purchase all of the then-existing Premises. The
purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Premises shall be the sum of accrued
and unpaid Base Rent, any accrued and unpaid Additional Rent, plus the Lease
Investment Balance.
(b) Purchase Option Exercise Notice. If Tenant desires to exercise the
Purchase Option, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord thirty (30) days prior written
notice ("Purchase Option Exercise Notice") of Tenant's election.
(c) Transfer. If Tenant exercises the Purchase Option, the purchase and
sale of the Premises shall be consummated as follows:
(i) Landlord shall grant and convey the Premises to Tenant, its
authorized agent or assignee, pursuant to a duly executed and acknowledged
assignment
163
<PAGE>
and assumption of leasehold interest (as to the Land) and a grant deed as to the
Improvements (collectively herein the "Deed"), free and clear of all title
defects, liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, mortgages, rights-of-way and
restrictive covenants or conditions, of record, placed against the Premises by
Landlord except for the Permitted Title Exceptions (excluding the SBLF Deed of
Trust), and any UCC-1 filed or recorded which evidence security interests
encumbering the Premises or any part thereof in favor of SBLF, which security
interests SBLF shall cause to be released so that they no longer affect the
Premises).
(ii) The Purchase Price shall be paid upon delivery of the Deed and
any other documents reasonably requested by Tenant to evidence the transfer of
the Premises subject to the Permitted Title Exceptions (excluding the SBLF Deed
of Trust, and any UCC-1 filed or recorded which evidence security interests
encumbering the Premises or any part thereof in favor of SBLF, which security
interests SBLF shall cause to be released so that they no longer affect the
Premises) ("Additional Documents"). In the event that Tenant elects to assign
the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 20.1 (d) below, and Tenant's assignee
pays an amount less than the Purchase Price for the Premises, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord any excess of the Purchase Price over the amount paid by such
assignee. Landlord shall deliver the Deed and the Additional Documents to
Tenant on the date for closing specified by Tenant in the Purchase Option
Exercise Notice. The closing shall take place at the location and in the manner
reasonably set forth by Tenant in the Purchase Option Exercise Notice. Landlord
and Tenant agree to cooperate to establish a concurrent closing and release of
the security interests so that the Collateral may be used to pay the Purchase
Price, if required.
(iii) If Landlord shall fail to cause title to be in the condition
required in Section 20.1(c)(i) above within the time herein prescribed for the
delivery of the Deed, then Tenant shall have the right (in addition to all other
rights provided by law) by a written notice to Landlord: (1) to extend the time
in which Landlord shall clear title and deliver the Deed and Additional
Documents, during which extension this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, except Tenant shall be released from its obligation to pay Base Rent
during the extension; (2) to accept delivery of the Deed and Additional
Documents subject to such title defects, liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust,
mortgages, rights-of-way and restrictive covenants or conditions specified and
set forth in the Deed and not cleared by Landlord; (3) to rescind, by notice to
Landlord and without any penalty or liability therefor, any and all obligations
Tenant may have under and by virtue of the Purchase Option or the exercise
thereof, whereupon this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; (4) if the
title exception is curable by the payment of money, Tenant may make such payment
and such payment shall be a credit against the Purchase Price in favor of
Tenant.
(iv) Base Rent shall be prorated and paid and all Additional Rent
which is then due and payable shall be paid as of the date title to the Premises
is vested of record in Tenant. Tenant shall pay the escrow fees; the recorder's
fee for recording the Deed; the premium for the title insurance policy; all
documentary transfer taxes; Tenant's attorneys' fees; Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees; all other costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in consummating
the transfer of the Premises; and all reasonable expenses (except as specified
in the next sentence) incurred by Landlord in consummating the transfer of the
Premises pursuant to this Section 20.1. Landlord shall pay the costs and
expenses of clearing title as required by Section 20. 1 (c)(i).
164
<PAGE>
(d) Assignment. Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's consent,
to assign this purchase option, in whole, to any Entity at any time, whether or
not Tenant also assigns its interest in the Lease.
20.2 Termination Option.
(a) Notice. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term,
Tenant may notify Landlord in writing of its election to exercise an option
("Termination Option") to sell the Premises; provided, however that at any time
Tenant can rescind its election to exercise its Termination Option if it then
exercises its Purchase Option pursuant to Section 20.1 above. The six (6) month
period is referred to herein as the "Sales Period".
(b) Termination Option. After giving the notice set forth in section (a)
above Tenant shall then use its best efforts to sell the Premises for cash to a
third party purchaser (who is not an affiliate of Tenant within the meaning of
Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933) and, if the Premises are not conveyed
to such purchaser prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall have no
further right to sell the Premises, the Lease shall terminate, Tenant shall
immediately vacate the Premises, and quitclaim all interest of Tenant, if any,
therein to Landlord.
(c) Termination Option Procedures. In the event that Tenant elects the
Termination Option, Tenant shall use its best efforts throughout the Sales
Period to obtain a purchaser (who is not an affiliate of Tenant as described
above) for the Premises. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to market the
Premises during the first four (4) months of the Sales Period (the "Exclusive
Period"). Landlord may direct Tenant to hire and pay for no more than one (1)
commission sales agent after the expiration of the Exclusive Period. Except as
otherwise provided below, any sale by Tenant shall be for the highest cash bid
submitted to Tenant, including any cash bid submitted by Landlord. The
determination of the highest bid shall be made by Landlord prior to the end of
the Sales Period. After the end of the Exclusive Period, Landlord may accept
any bid solicited by Landlord, Tenant or its agent, in which case Tenant's sales
effort may be suspended until the earlier of the closing of such sale on the
last day of the Term or revocation or rejection of such cash bid.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, Tenant may (i) accept during the Exclusive
Period any cash bid (net of expenses of sale) which exceeds the Lease Investment
Balance, and (ii) rescind the Termination Option at any time so long as it is
exercising its Purchase Option, which shall be prior and superior to an accepted
offer from a third party. If Landlord undertakes any sales efforts, Tenant
shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any reasonable charges, costs and expenses
incurred in such effort, including any commissions, allocated time charges,
costs and expenses of internal counsel, external counsel or other attorneys'
fees.
(d) Payments under Termination Option. If Tenant elects the Termination
Option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the last day of the Term in immediately
available funds any Base Rent or Additional Rent due and owing under the Lease.
Except as provided in Section 20.2(e), the proceeds (the "Proceeds") of any sale
of the Premises pursuant to the Termination Option shall be paid to Landlord
upon any such sale without
165
<PAGE>
deductions, and not later than the expiration of the Lease Term.
(e) Procedures Upon Sale under the Termination Option. Any sale pursuant
to the Termination Option shall be consummated on the last day of the Term. To
the extent the Proceeds exceed the Lease Investment Balance, such excess shall
be paid out of escrow to Tenant. Upon payment to Landlord of all amounts due it
under this Lease, Landlord shall execute and deliver to the purchaser of the
Premises a grant deed in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and
obligations as are set forth in Section 20.1(c) above and have the same
obligation to deliver title and remove exceptions as set forth in said Section.
Except as provided in the second sentence of this subparagraph, the Proceeds
shall be applied first to the Lease Investment Balance, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the difference between the Lease Investment Balance (calculated
immediately prior to receipt of the Proceeds) and the Proceeds, up to the amount
of the Guaranteed Residual Value, and Landlord shall have no claim whatsoever to
the Proceeds in excess of such amount upon receipt of such Proceeds.
ARTICLE 21
COVENANTS OF LANDLORD
21.1 Title. In the event Tenant so requests in writing (and so long as
either Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord from any liabilities or obligations
in connection therewith, or Landlord does not incur any liabilities or
obligations in connection therewith), Landlord shall execute all documents,
instruments and agreements reasonably requested by Tenant in order to accomplish
any of the following in the manner reasonably requested by Tenant and within the
time parameters reasonably requested by Tenant: (1) remove exceptions to title
to or affecting the Premises; (2) create exceptions to title (including, without

Landlord for, or at Landlord's request, pay directly in advance, all reasonable
costs, expenses and other amounts incurred or required to be expended by
Landlord in order to comply with Tenant's requests made in accordance with the
preceding sentence, and the failure of Tenant to reimburse or pay any such
amounts shall result in the suspension of Landlord's obligations under such
sentence with respect to that particular request until the amounts required to
be paid by Tenant under this sentence have been paid.
21.2 Land Use. Except where requested by Tenant pursuant to this Section
21.2, Landlord shall not cause or give its written consent to any land use or
zoning change affecting the Premises or any changes of street grade. In the
event Tenant so requests in writing (and so long as either Tenant agrees to
indemnify Landlord from any liabilities or obligations in connection therewith,
or Landlord does not incur any liabilities or obligations in connection
therewith), Landlord shall execute all documents, instruments and agreements
reasonably requested by Tenant in order to accomplish any of the following in
the manner reasonably requested by Tenant and within the time parameters
reasonably requested by Tenant: (1) cause a change in any land use restriction
or law affecting the Premises; (2) cause a change in the zoning affecting the
Premises; or (3)

<PAGE>
cause a change in the street grade with respect to any street in the vicinity of
the Premises. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for, or at Landlord's
request, pay directly in advance, all reasonable costs, expenses and other
amounts incurred or required to be expended by Landlord in order to comply with
Tenant's requests made in accordance with the preceding sentence, and the
failure of Tenant to reimburse or pay any such amounts shall result in the
suspension of Landlord's obligations under such sentence with respect to that
particular request until the amounts required to be paid by Tenant under this
sentence have been paid.

pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall not transfer to any third party any
rights inuring to or benefits associated with the Premises (including, without
limitation, zoning rights, development rights, air space rights, mineral, oil,
gas or water rights). Nothing in this Section shall limit Landlord's rights
pursuant to Section 14.2; provided that any purchaser of Landlord's interest in
the Premises shall be bound by the terms of this Lease, including without
limitation the terms of this Section 21.3).
ARTICLE 22
MISCELLANEOUS
22.1 Relationship. Neither this Lease nor any agreements or transactions
contemplated hereby shall in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as
constituting Landlord and Tenant as partners or joint venturers, one with the
other, or as creating any partnership, joint venture, association or, except as
set forth in Section 22.2 below, any other relationship other than that of
landlord and tenant: and, except as set forth in Section 22.2 below, both
Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any contrary assertion, contention, claim
or counterclaim in any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving either
Landlord or Tenant or the subject matter of this Lease.
22.2 Form of Transaction: Certain Tax Matters.
(a) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and declare that the transactions
contemplated by this Lease are intended to constitute, both as to matters of
form and substance:
(i) an operating lease for financial accounting purposes, and
(ii) a financing arrangement (and not a "true lease") for
purposes of Federal, state and local income, property or other forms of tax.
Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant agree and declare that (A) the transactions
contemplated hereby are intended to have a dual, rather than single, form and
(B) all references in this Lease to the "Lease" of the Premises which fail to
reference such dual form do so as a matter of convenience only and do not
reflect the intent of Landlord and Tenant as to the true form of such
arrangements.
(b) Landlord and Tenant agree that, in accordance with their intentions
and the substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, Tenant (and not
Landlord) shall
167
<PAGE>
be treated as the owner of the Premises for Federal, state, local income and
property tax purposes and this Lease shall be treated as a financing
arrangement. Tenant shall be entitled to take any deduction, credit allowance
or other reporting, filing or other tax position consistent with such
characterizations. Landlord shall not file any Federal, state or local income
tax returns, reports or other statements in a manner which is inconsistent with
the foregoing provisions of this Section 22.2.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that it has retained accounting, tax and legal
advisors to assist it in structuring this Lease and Tenant is not relying on any
representations of Landlord regarding the proper treatment of this transaction
for accounting, income tax or any other Purpose.
22.3 Notices. Each Notice shall be in writing and shall be sent by
personal delivery, overnight courier (charges prepaid or billed to the sender)
or by the deposit of such with the United States Postal Service, or any official
successor thereto, designated as registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, bearing adequate postage and in each case addressed as provided in
the Basic Lease Provisions. Each Notice shall be effective upon being
personally delivered or actually received. The time period in which a response
to any such Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto shall
commence to run from the date of personal delivery or receipt of the Notice by
the addressee thereof, as reflected on the return receipt of the Notice.
Rejection or other refusal to accept shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice
sent. By giving to the other party at least thirty (30) days' prior Notice
thereof, either party to this Lease shall have the right from time to time
during the Term of this Lease to change the address(es) thereof and to specify
as the address(es) thereof any other address(es) within the continental United
States of America.
22.4 Severability of Provisions. If any term, covenant or condition of
this Lease, or the application thereof to any Entity or circumstance, shall be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of
such term, covenant or condition to Entities or circumstances other than those
as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby.
22.5 Entire Agreement: Amendment. This Lease constitutes the entire
agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Neither this Lease nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged
or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought.
22.6 Memorandum of Sublease of the Land and Lease of the Improvements.
Neither party shall record this Lease. However, concurrently with the execution
of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant have executed a Memorandum of Sublease of the
Land and Lease of the Improvements ("Memorandum of Lease") in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E and by this reference made a part hereof, which Memorandum
of Lease shall be promptly recorded in the Official Records.

shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and their
respective heirs,
168
<PAGE>
executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Whenever in this
Lease a reference to any Entity is made, such reference shall be deemed to
include a reference to the heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors
and assigns of such Entity.
22.8 Commissions. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant that
except as provided below, neither has dealt with any broker in connection with
this transaction and that no real estate broker, salesperson or finder has the
right to claim a real estate brokerage, salesperson's commission or finder's fee
by reason of contact between the parties brought about by such broker,
salesperson or finder. Each party shall hold and save the other harmless of and
from any and all loss, cost, damage, injury or expense arising out of or in any
way related to claims for real estate broker's or salesperson's commissions or
fees based upon allegations made by the claimant that it is entitled to such a
fee from the indemnified party arising out of contact with the indemnifying
party or alleged introductions of the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party. Landlord acknowledges that it is responsible for the payment of a
commission to Pacific Union Financial Services in connection with this Lease,
which amount shall not be reimbursable to Landlord by Tenant or otherwise added
to the Lease Investment Balance.
22.9 Attorneys' Fees. In the event any action is brought by Landlord or
Tenant against the other to enforce or for the breach of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court,
together with costs of suit therein incurred. Tenant shall pay the reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord for the review and negotiation of this
Lease.
22.10 Governing Law. This Lease and the obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
22.11 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
together shall comprise but a single instrument.
22.12 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease, and of
each provision hereof.
22.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Lease is entered into by Landlord
and Tenant for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant. There are no third

Landlord's obligation to fund pursuant to Article 6 above, Landlord's liability
to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease: (1) shall be limited to
Landlord's equity in the Premises; and (2) shall extend to any actual damages of
Tenant, but shall not extend to any foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential
damages.

therefor by
169
<PAGE>
either party, the non-requesting party shall deliver, in recordable form, a
certificate to any proposed mortgagee, purchaser, sublessee or assignee and to
the requesting party, certifying (if such be the case) that this Lease is in
full force and effect, the date of Tenant's most recent payment of Rent, that,
to the best of its knowledge, the non-requesting party has no defenses or
offsets outstanding, or stating those claimed, and any other information
reasonably requested. Failure to deliver said statement in time shall
be conclusive upon the non-requesting party that: (a) this Lease is in full
force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by the
requesting party; (b) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's
performance and the non-requesting party has no right of offset, counterclaim or
deduction against the non-requesting party's obligations hereunder; (c) no more
than one month's Base Rent has been paid in advance; and (d) any other matters
reasonably requested in such certificate.
22.16 Collateral. The parties acknowledge that Tenant has pledged certain
collateral ("Collateral") to Landlord to secure Tenant's obligations pursuant to
the Pledge Agreement. If Landlord applies any of the Collateral to satisfy an
obligation hereunder, such application shall be deemed to reduce the Lease
Investment Balance under this Lease on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Tenant shall
have no claims, rights or causes of action against Landlord arising from any
application of the Collateral to satisfy any obligation under the Lease.
22.17 As-Is Lease. Landlord makes no representations or warranties
concerning the condition, suitability or any other matters relating to the
Premises, and Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant leases the Premises from
Landlord on an "as is" basis.
22.18 Net Lease. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant agrees
that this Lease is an absolute net Lease, and the Base Rent called for hereunder
shall be paid as required net of all expenses associated with the Premises,
including without limitation, Real Estate Taxes and insurance premiums for the
insurance required to be carried hereunder, and all other reasonable and
customary costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the
Premises or this Lease, all of which shall be paid or reimbursed by Tenant
unless otherwise specifically provided herein. Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord, within five (5) business days following receipt of any written demand
therefor, for all reasonable and customary fees (including fees to SBNYTC), late
charges, title endorsement, custodian fees related to the Collateral and other
costs and expenses charged to Landlord which accrue during any period unless
such expenses are capitalized and added to the Lease Investment Balance.
22.19 Representations and Warranties. Tenant and Landlord each hereby
represents and warrants to the other that: (i) such party is duly organized and
existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and is
qualified to do business in the State of California; (ii) such party has the
full right and authority to enter into this

Lease, consummate the sale, transfers and assignments contemplated herein and

signatory to this Lease and any document executed pursuant hereto on behalf of
such party have full power and authority to bind such party; and (iv) the
execution and delivery of this Lease and the performance of such party's
obligations hereunder do not and shall not result in the violation of its
organizational documents or any material contract or agreement to which such
party may be a party.
22.20 Financial Reporting. Tenant shall provide to Landlord: (1) annually,
within one hundred (100) days after the end of each of Tenant's fiscal years
during the Term, an annual report on Form 10-K for such fiscal years as filed
