        In July 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Mission West Properties, Inc., the lessor, to lease approximately 47,000 square feet for its corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. The lease term is 120 months. The Company has an option to extend the lease for two additional five-year periods at 95% of the then fair market monthly rent rate. After the first two years of the lease, the Company may terminate the lease early in the event that it has signed a lease to move into a facility that is also owned by the lessor or one of its affiliates and is at least 20% larger. The Company may also terminate the lease at the end of 60 or 90 months if the Company has sold all or substantially all of its assets to an independent buyer or if the lessor cannot accommodate the Company's future expansion requirements, provided that the Company pays the lessor an amount equal to the outstanding unamortized balance of the initial improvements. The chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the lessor is Carl E. Berg. Mr. Berg is a director of the Company and a member of the compensation committee and the audit committee of the Company's board of directors. Mr. Berg beneficially owns approximately 5% of the Company's common stock, and his daughter's trust beneficially owns approximately 6% of the Company's common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, a total of $716,000 and $379,000, respectively, of lease payments were paid to Mission West Properties, Inc.
