assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Tenant under

release Tenant of Tenant's obligations hereunder or after the primary liability
of Tenant to pay the rent and other sums due Landlord hereunder Including

obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.
(b) Landlord may accept rent from any person other than Tenant pending
approval or disapproval of such assignment.
(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment or

Landlord's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or
conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.
(d) If Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third
parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Landlord's consent thereto, shall
not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease and the terms thereof.

constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Tenant or to

However, Landlord may consent to subsequent subletting's and assignments of the
sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or
anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent

obligations under this Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents
accruing under such sublease. Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other
assignment of such sublease to Landlord nor by reason of the collection of the
rents from a sub-tenant, be deemed liable to the sub-tenant for any failure of
Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant's obligations to such sub-tenant
under such sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such
sub-tenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a

without Landlord's prior written consent. Any sublease shall, by reason of
entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of
Landlord; to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every
obligation herein to be performed by Tenant other than such obligations as are
contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which
Landlord has expressly consented in writing.
(c) In the event Tenant shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord at Its option and without any obligation
to do so, may require any sub-tenant to attorn to Landlord, in which event
Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the
time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease:
provided, however; Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or
security deposit paid by such sub-tenant to Tenant or for any other prior
defaults of Tenant under such sublease.

thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided, however, that if the nature of
Tenant's noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if
Tenant commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such
thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required
to be given to Tenant under applicable Unlawful Defamer statutes.

assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant becoming a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. ss.101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the

interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty
(30) days, or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's

Landlord by Tenant, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Tenant's
obligation hereunder, was materially false.

means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Tenant

event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including, but not limited to, the cost
of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of re-letting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,

the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
Tenant loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Tenant's right to possession in which case this Lease shall

rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.

under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the
maximum rate the allowable by law.

Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant
In writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that If the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within such 30-day period and
thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other
sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this

costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly If any installment
of Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Tenant shall
not be received by Landlord or Landlords designee within ten (10) days after
such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount.
The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.
Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord
from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this

authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Tenant's business conducted from the Premises, Tenant shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after
