sum of FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($48,334.00) (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by

including the provisions relating to the payment of any Rent, Landlord may
(but
shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security
Deposit to cure such default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or
damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion

of the Lease term and Xxxxxx’s vacating the Premises; provided, however, that
Landlord may elect, in its discretion, to retain a portion of the Security
Deposit in an amount to be determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment
and
Landlord shall, promptly upon determining the increases in Operating Costs
for
the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, pursuant to Paragraph 5.3
-
“Notice and Payment,” apply from such retained portion of the Security Deposit
any sums underpaid by Tenant with respect to Operating Costs for the final
year
of the Lease term, and return the balance, if any, to Tenant or its assignee.
In
the event of termination of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord shall
transfer the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor in interest whereupon
Landlord shall be released from liability for the return of the Security Deposit
or the accounting therefor. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section
1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any
Regulations, now or hereafter in force, which restricts the amount or types
of
claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a
landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or
return of security deposits.

Share.
If
Operating Costs during any calendar year following the Base Year exceed the

means

Premises by the rentable square footage of the Complex as such rentable square
footages are set forth in Paragraph I, and multiplying such number by
100.
5.3 Notice
and Payment.
As soon
as reasonably practical after the end of each calendar year following the Base
Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement showing in reasonable
detail the Operating Costs for the preceding calendar year, and the amount
of
any payment due from Tenant to Landlord or from Landlord to Tenant, taking
into
account xxxxx Operating Cost Payments made by Tenant for such preceding calendar
year. Tenant shall have one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of
Landlord’s statement to notify Landlord of any objections they have to such
statement, or of their intention to review supporting documentation for such
statement. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord, such statement shall
conclusively be deemed correct and Tenant shall have no right thereafter to
dispute or review support for such statement, any item therein, or the
computation of Operating Costs. If Tenant does so notify the Landlord within
the
one hundred eighty (180) day period, Tenant shall have one (1) year from the
date of receipt of Landlord’s statement to complete their review of the
supporting documentation and notify Landlord of all objections, if any, to
such
statement. Landlord and Xxxxxx hereby agree that Xxxxxx will submit in writing
to Landlord on or before the end of said one (1) year period, all objections
to
Landlord’s statement, and Xxxxxx’s only rights after said one (1) year period
shall be nonreversible removals or reductions of the said objections submitted
to Landlord. Landlord and Xxxxxx hereby agree that after said one (1) year
period, Xxxxxx has no further rights to review any supporting documentation
to
Landlord’s statement. Any notifications to Landlord will be done in accordance
with Paragraph 25.14.

Coincidentally
with the monthly Base Rent next due following Tenant’s receipt of such
statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment) or
Landlord shall credit against the next Base Rent due from Tenant (in the case
of
an overpayment) the difference between (i) Tenant’s Share of any excess of
Operating Costs for the preceding calendar year over the Expense Stop (the
“Prior Year’s Increase”), and (ii) the Operating Cost Payments made by Tenant
for such preceding calendar year. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
coincidentally with such next due Base Rent an amount equal to (A) one-twelfth
(112th) of the Prior Year’s Increase, if any, multiplied by (B) the number of
months or partial months (including the then current month) then elapsed in
the
current calendar year, less (C) the aggregate of any Operating Cost Payments
made by Tenant for such current calendar year. Monthly thereafter until
adjustment is made the following year pursuant to this paragraph, Tenant shall
pay together with the monthly Base Rent one-twelfth (1/12) of any such Prior
Year’s Increase. In no event will Tenant be entitled to receive the benefit of a
reduction in Operating Costs below the Expense Stop.
For
any
partial calendar year at the termination of this Lease, Xxxxxx’s Share of any
increases in Operating Costs for such year over the Expense Stop shall be
prorated on the basis of a 365-day year by computing Tenant’s Share of the
increases in Operating Costs for the entire year and then prorating such amount
for the number of days this Lease was in effect during such year.
Notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, and within ten (10) days after
Xxxxxx’s receipt of Landlord’s statement regarding the determination of
increases in Operating Costs for the calendar year in which this Lease
terminates, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as
the
case may he, an amount equal to the difference between Xxxxxx’s Share of the
increases in Operating Costs for such year (as prorated) and the amount
previously paid by Tenant toward such increases.
5.4 Additional
Taxes.
Tenant
shall reimburse to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a demand
therefor, Xxxxxx’s Share of any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than
net income taxes or any taxes included within Operating Costs), whether or
not
now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto (i) upon,
allocable to or measured by the area of the Building, (ii) upon all or any
portion of the Rent payable hereunder and under other leases of space in the
Building, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied with respect
to
the receipt of such Rent, or (iii) upon or with respect to the possession,
leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or
occupancy of the Building or any portion thereof. Tenant shall not be required
to reimburse Landlord for taxes under this Paragraph 5.4 to the extent Tenant
has paid Xxxxxx’s Share of such taxes through Operating Cost Payments under
Paragraph 5.2.
5.5 Tenant’s
Taxes.
Tenant
shall pay before delinquency (whether levied on Landlord or Tenant), any and
all
taxes assessed upon or measured by (i) Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures
and other personal property located in the Premises, (ii) any improvements
or
alterations made to the Premises prior to or during the term of this Lease
paid
for by Tenant (“Above-Standard Improvements”), or (iii) this transaction or any
document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an
estate in the Premises. For the purpose of determining said amounts, figures
supplied by the County Assessor as to the amount so assessed shall be
conclusive. Tenant shall comply with the provisions of any law, ordinance or
rule of the taxing authorities which require Tenant to file a report of Tenant’s
property located in the Premises.

6. USE
6.1 Use.
The
Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant for general office purposes and
for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.
6.2 Suitability.
Tenant
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building or
with
respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant’s business, nor
has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement
to
the Premises except as provided in the Work Letter. The taking of possession
of
the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the
Building were at such time in satisfactory condition unless within ten (10)

12.2 Insurance
Policies.
The

of Tenant hereunder. The aforesaid insurance shall name Landlord and its
partners, property manager, and mortgagees as an additional insured. Said
insurance shall be with companies having a rating of not less than A+, XI in

cause the insurance companies to flattish certificates of coverage. No such
policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other
modification or cancellation except after thirty (30) days prior written notice
to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as primary
policies, not contributing with and not in excess of the coverage which Landlord
may carry. Tenant shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration
of
such policies, furnish Landlord with evidence of renewals or binders. Xxxxxx
agrees that if Xxxxxx does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord
may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and
charge Tenant the premiums together with a reasonable handling charge and
Default Interest from the date paid by Landlord, payable upon demand. Tenant
shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket

12.3 Landlord’s
Insurance.
During

mischief (to the extent such coverages are available), with responsible insurers

Tenant
and Landlord hereby waive and release any and all right of recovery, whether
arising in contract or tort, against the other, including employees and agents,
arising during the Term for any and all loss or damage to any property located
within or constituting a part of the Building or Complex, which loss or damage
arises from the perils that could be insured against under the ISO Causes of
Loss-Special Form Coverage including any deductible thereunder (whether or
not
the party suffering the loss or damage actually carries such insurance, recovers
under such insurance or self insures the loss or damage) or which right of
recovery arises from loss of earnings or rents resulting from loss or damage
caused by such a peril. This mutual waiver is in addition to any other waiver
or
release contained in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each have their
insurance policies issued in such form as to waive any right of subrogation
which might otherwise exist.

DAMAGE
OR DESTRUCTION.
13.1 Landlord’s
Duty to Repair.

or a substantial part of the Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible
by damage to all or any part of the Project from fire or other casualty then,

or 13.3, Landlord shall, at its expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts
to repair and restore the Premises and/or access thereto, as the case may be,
to
substantially their former condition to the extent permitted by the then
applicable codes, laws and regulations; provided, however, that Tenant rather
than Landlord shall be obligated at Tenant’s expense to repair or replace

If
Landlord is required or elects to repair damage to the Premises and/or access
thereto, this Lease shall continue in effect but Tenant’s Base Rent and
Operating Cost Payments from the date of the casualty through the date of
substantial completion of the repair shall be abated by a proportionate amount
based on the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by
reason of such damage or its repair; provided, however, that if the casualty
is
the result of the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s
Representatives, there will be no such rental abatement. In no event shall
Landlord be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with
Xxxxxx’s business or property arising from fire or other casualty or by reason
of any repairs to any part of the Project made necessary by such
casualty.
13.2 Landlords
Right to Terminate.
Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, effective as of the last day of
the
calendar month in which such election is made, under the following
circumstances:
(a) Where,
in
the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the damage cannot be substantially repaired
and restored under applicable laws and governmental regulations within one

(b) Where,
in
the reasonable judgment of Landlord, adequate proceeds are not, for any reason,

Project is damaged or destroyed to the extent that the cost to repair and
restore the Project exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement

or
(d) Where
the
damage occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the term of the
Lease.
If
any of
the circumstances described in this Paragraph 13.2 arise, Xxxxxxxx must notify
Tenant in writing of that fact within one hundred and twenty (120) days after
such circumstances arise and in such notice Landlord must also advise Tenant
whether Xxxxxxxx has elected to terminate the Lease.
13.3 Tenant’s
Right to Terminate.
Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease if all or a substantial part of
the
Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any
part
of the Project from fire or other casualty, provided that such casualty is
not
the result of the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s
Representatives, but only under the following circumstances:
(a) Tenant
may elect to terminate this Lease if Landlord had the right under Paragraph
13.2
to terminate this Lease but did not elect to so terminate and Landlord failed
to
commence the required repair within ninety (90) days after the date it received
proceeds to commence such repair. In such event, Tenant may terminate this
Lease
as of the date of the casualty by notice to Landlord given before the earlier
of
the date on which Landlord commences such repair or ten (10) days after the
expiration of such ninety (90)-day period; or

13.4 Exclusive
Rights.
Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree that, notwithstanding any law to the
contrary that may now or hereafter exist, neither party shall have any right
to
terminate this Lease in the event of any damage or destruction under any
circumstances other than as provided in Paragraphs 13.2 and 13.3.

CONDEMNATION
If
all or
a material portion of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated for public
or
quasi-public use by right of eminent domain with or without litigation or
transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use,
either party hereto shall have the right at its option, exercisable within
thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such taking, to terminate this Lease
as
of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, provided, however,
that before Tenant may terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation
as provided hereinabove, such taking or appropriation shall be of such an extent
and nature as to substantially handicap, impede or impair Xxxxxx’s use of the
Premises. If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so taken
or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this
Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking
or
condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter
arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require
Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for Xxxxxx’s unamortized cost
of leasehold improvements, so long as such award to Tenant does not decrease
the
value of the award that would otherwise be made to Landlord in such taking
or
condemnation. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a
termination of this Lease, rent shall be abated in the proportion which the
part
of Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises
immediately prior to the taking, and Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall restore
the Premises remaining to an architectural whole with the Base Rent reduced
in
proportion to what the area taken bears to the Premises prior to the taking.
No
temporary taking of the Premises and/or of Tenant’s rights therein or under this
Lease shall give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to any abatement
of
Rent thereunder. Any award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking
where Landlord does not terminate this Lease shall belong entirely to Tenant
so
long as said award does not diminish Landlord’s award.
15. ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING
15.1 Landlord’s
Consent Required.
Tenant
shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this
Lease
or any interest therein (each a “Transfer”), and shall not sublet the Premises
or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord and any
attempt to do so without such consent being first had and obtained shall be
wholly void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

15.2 Reasonable
Consent.
(a) If
Tenant
complies with the following conditions, Landlord sail not unreasonably withhold
its consent to the subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof or the
assignment of this Lease. Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the
name and legal composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the
nature of the business proposed to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the
terms and provisions of the proposed sublease; (iv) such reasonable financial
information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant or
assignee; and (v) the form of the proposed sublease or assignment. Within ten
(10) business days after Landlord receives all such information it shall notify
Tenant whether it approves such assignment or subletting or if it elects to
proceed under Paragraph 15.8 below.
(b) The
parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, among other circumstances for which
Landlord could reasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment,
it
shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (i) Landlord
reasonably disapproves of the Transferee’s reputation or creditworthiness or the
character of the business to be conducted by the Transferee at the Premises,
(ii) the assignment or subletting would increase the burden on the Building
services or the number of people occupying the Premises, or (iii) Landlord
otherwise determines that the assignment or sublease would have the effect
of
decreasing the value of the Project or increasing the expenses associated with
operating the Project. In no event may Tenant publicly advertise or offer all
or
any portion of the Premises for assignment or sublease at a rental less than
that then sought by Landlord for comparable space in the Project.
15.3 Excess
Consideration.
If
Landlord consents to the assignment or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled
to
receive as additional Rent hereunder 50% of any consideration paid by the
Transferee for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, 50%
of
the excess of the rent and other consideration payable by the subtenant over
the
amount of Base Rent and Operating Cost Payments payable hereunder applicable
to
the subleased space.
15.4 No
Release of Tenant.
No
consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve
Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether
occurring before or after such consent, assignment or subletting, and the
Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment
of
Rent (or that portion applicable to the subleased space in the case of a
sublease) and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of the
Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve
Tenant and any such Transferee from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express
written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. The acceptance
of
rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment,
subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other
transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting or other transfer.
15.5 Attorneys’
Fees.
Tenant
shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $500.00) incurred
in connection with reviewing any proposed assignment or sublease.

the term of the Lease) shall be deemed a Transfer.
15.7 Effectiveness
of Transfer.
No
permitted assignment by Tenant shall be effective until Xxxxxxxx has received
a
counterpart of the assignment and an instrument in which the assignee assumes
all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease arising on or after the date of
assignment. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Xxxxxx, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a
merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord,
either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment
to
Landlord of any or all of such subleases.
15.8 Landlord’s
Right to Space.
Notwithstanding any of the above provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the
contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that it desires to assign this Lease
or
sublet all or any part of the Premises, Landlord, in lieu of consenting to
such
assignment or sublease, may elect to terminate this Lease (in the case of an
assignment or a sublease of the entire Premises), or to terminate this Lease
as
it relates to the space proposed to be subleased by Xxxxxx (in the case of
a
sublease of less than the entire Premises). In such event, this Lease (or
portion thereof) will terminate on the date the assignment or sublease was
to be
effective, and Landlord may lease such space to any party, including the
prospective Transferee identified by Xxxxxx.
15.9 No
Net
Profits Leases.
Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the
contrary notwithstanding, neither Tenant, nor any other person having an
interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises, shall
enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for
the
use, occupancy or utilization of space in the Premises which provides for rental
or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in
part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the premises
leased, used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed
percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and any such purported lease,
sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be void and ineffective
as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy
or
utilization of any part of the Premises.
16. SUBORDINATION
16.1 Subordination.
Except
as provided in the next sentence, or as the Tenant and the mortgagee or trustee
of any “First Mortgage” (as defined below) may otherwise agree, this Lease, at
Landlord’s option, shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying
leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting all or any part
of
the Project, and to the lien of any first mortgages or first deeds of trust
(each a “First Mortgage”) in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter
placed on or against the Land or Building, Landlord’s interest or estate
therein, or any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity of the
execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to
effectuate such subordination, If any mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage
or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its First
Mortgage or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant,
this
Lease shall be deemed prior to such First Mortgage or ground lease, whether
this
Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said First Mortgage or
ground lease or the date of the recording thereof.

16.2 Junior
Liens.
Tenant
hereby agrees that this Lease shall be superior to the lien of any present
or
future mortgages or deeds of trust that are junior to any First
Mortgage.
16.3 Subordination
Agreements.
Tenant
will execute and deliver upon demand without charge therefor, such further
instruments evidencing the subordination of this Lease to any First Mortgage
or
ground lease, or the subordination of any First Mortgage or ground lease to
such
Lease, pursuant to Section 1 6,1, as the case maybe, as may be required by
Landlord. Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Paragraph
16.3 within fifteen (15) days of demand shall constitute an Event of Default
and
Landlord shall have the right, in such event, to impose upon Tenant a monetary
penalty of $1,000.00 for such non-compliance, in addition to all other remedies
available to Landlord under this Lease and by law. Tenant hereby appoints
Landlord as Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to execute and deliver any
such agreements, instruments, releases or other documents.
16.4 Attornment.
If this
Project is transferred to any purchaser pursuant to or in lieu of proceedings
to
enforce any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease (collectively,
“Encumbrance”), and this Lease is either prior to such Encumbrance or the
mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor of the Project elects
to have this Lease survive such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to such purchaser
and recognize such purchaser as the landlord under this Lease, and this Lease
shall continue as a direct lease between such purchaser and Tenant.
17. QUIET
ENJOYMENT
Landlord
covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the Rent and performing
its other covenants and conditions under this Lease, Tenant shall have the
quiet
possession of the Premises for the term of this Lease as against any persons
or
entities lawfully claiming by, through or under Xxxxxxxx, subject, however,
to
the terms of this Lease and of any Encumbrance.
18. DEFAULT
REMEDIES
18.1 Default.
The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by
Xxxxxx:
(a) Tenant
fails to pay Rent when due and such failure continues for five (5) days after
the same is due;
(b) Tenant
fails to deliver any subordination agreement requested by Landlord within the
period described in Paragraph 16;

fails to deliver any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord within the
period described in Paragraph 22;

(e) Tenant
fails to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed
or
performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for twenty (20) days after
written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the
nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within
said twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if
Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently
prosecute the same to completion;
(f) Tenant
abandons the Premises; or
(g) The
making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the
benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition seeking
relief under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition
filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all
of
Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s
assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
18.2 Remedies.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter
exercise the following remedies, which shall be in addition to any other rights
or remedies now or hereafter available to Landlord at law or in
equity:
(a) Maintain
this Lease in full force and effect and recover Rent as it becomes due, without
terminating Tenant’s right to possession irrespective of whether Tenant shall
have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects not to terminate
the
Lease, Landlord shall have the right to attempt to relet the Premises at such
rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, and to do all acts necessary
to maintain or preserve the Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary
without being deemed to have elected to terminate the Lease, including removal
of all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed
and
stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account
of
Tenant. In the event any such reletting occurs, rents received by Landlord
from
such subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the costs of
maintaining, preserving, altering and preparing the Premises for subletting
and
other costs of subletting, including but not limited to brokers’ commissions,
attorneys’ fees and expenses of removal of Tenant’s personal property, trade
fixtures, alterations and leasehold improvements; (ii) second, to the payment
of
Rent then due and payable; (iii) third, to the payment of future Rent as the
same may become due and payable hereunder; and (iv) fourth, the balance, if
any,
shall be paid to Tenant upon (but not before) expiration of the term of this
Lease. If the rents received by Landlord from such subletting, after application
as provided above, are insufficient in any month to pay the Rent due and payable
hereunder for such month, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly
upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for Tenant’s account without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, by written notice to Tenant,
elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous Event of Default. During
the continuance of an Event of Default, for so long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease
of the Premises as set forth in Paragraph 15.2 - “Reasonable
Consent”.

(b) Terminate
Xxxxxx’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by written notice to
Xxxxxx, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord. Tenant expressly acknowledges that in the absence of
such
written notice from Landlord, no other act of Landlord, including, but not
limited to, its re-entry into the Premises, its efforts to relet the Premises,
its reletting of the Premises for Tenant’s account, its storage of Tenant’s
personal property and trade fixtures, its acceptance of keys to the Premises
from Tenant or its exercise of any other rights and remedies under this
Paragraph 18.2, shall constitute an acceptance of Xxxxxx’s surrender of the
Premises or constitute a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to
possession of the Premises. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession
in writing, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages as
provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or any other applicable
existing or future law, ordinance or regulation providing for recovery of
damages for such breach, including but not limited to the
following:
(1) The
reasonable cost of recovering the Premises; plus
(2) The
reasonable cost of removing Tenant’s alterations, trade fixtures and
Above-Standard Improvements; plus
(3) All
unpaid Rent due or earned hereunder prior to the date of termination, less
the
proceeds of any resetting or any rental received from subtenants prior to the
date of termination applied as provided in subsection (a) above, together with
interest at the Default Rate, on such sums from the date such Rent is due and
payable until the date of the award of damages; plus
(4) The
amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including
Operating Cost Payments as reasonably estimated by Xxxxxxxx, from the date
of
termination until the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such
rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, together with
interest at the Default Rate on such sums from the date such Rent is due and
payable until the date of the award of damages; plus
(5) The
amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including
Operating Cost Payments, as reasonably estimated by Xxxxxxxx, for the remainder
of the then term, after the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount
of
such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, discounted
at the discount rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
for
member banks at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); plus
(6) Such
other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted
from time to time by applicable law.

(c) During
the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord may enter the Premises without
terminating this Lease and remove all Tenant’s personal property, and trade
fixtures from the Premises. If Landlord removes such property from the Premises
and stores it at Tenant’s risk and expense, and if Tenant fails to pay the cost
of such removal and storage after written demand therefor and/or to pay any
Rent
then due, after the property has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days
or
more Landlord may sell such property at public or private sale, in the manner
and at such times and places as Landlord in its sole discretion deems
commercially reasonable following reasonable notice to Tenant of the time and
place of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first to
the
payment of the expenses for removal and storage of the property, preparation
for
and conducting such sale, and attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred
by Landlord in connection therewith, and the balance shall be applied as
provided in subsection (a) above.
Tenant
hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Xxxxxxxx’s reentering
and taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing Tenant’s personal
property pursuant to this Paragraph, and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless
from and against any loss, cost or damage resulting from any such act. No
reentry by Landlord shall constitute or be construed as a forcible entry by
Landlord.
(d) Landlord
may cure the Event of Default at Tenant’s expense. If Landlord pays any sum or
incurs any expense in curing the Event of Default, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord upon demand for the amount of such payment or expense with interest
at
the Default Rate from the date the sum is paid or the expense is incurred until
Landlord is reimbursed by Xxxxxx.
18.3 Late
Charges.
Tenant
hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of
which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are
not
limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment
of Base Rent or Operating Costs Payments is not received by Landlord or
Landlord’s designee within five (5) days of the date such amount shall be due,
or if any installment of other Rent is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s
designee on or before the date such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) 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 Xxxxxx.
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.
18.4 Interest.
In
addition to the late charges referred to above which are intended to defray
Landlord’s costs resulting from late payments, any late payment of Rent shall,
at Landlord’s option, bear interest from the due date of any such payment to the
date the same is paid at the Default Rate, provided, however, that if Landlord
imposes a late charge on any overdue payment, such overdue payment shall not
begin to bear interest under this Paragraph 18.4 until thirty (30) days after
the due date thereof.

18.5 Default
by Landlord.
Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations
required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty
(30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to any mortgagee,
trustee or ground lessor of the Project (each a “Holder”) whose name and address
shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying that
Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if
the
nature of Xxxxxxxx’s 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 thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
19. PARKING
Tenant
and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall have the right to use the
parking areas of the Building subject to such regulations and charges as
Landlord shall adopt from time to time, and subject to the right of Landlord
to
restrict the use by Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx’s Representatives when in the sole
judgment of Landlord such use is excessive for the parking area in relationship
to the reasonable use required by other Tenants. If Landlord becomes obligated
under applicable laws or regulations or any other directive of any governmental
or quasi-governmental authority to pay or assess fees or charges for parking
in
the Building’s parking area, Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord as
additional Rent.
20. RELOCATION
OF PREMISES
20.1 Conditions.
For the
purpose of maintaining an economical and proper distribution of Tenants
throughout Xxxxxx Ranch acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right
from time to time during the term of this Lease to relocate the Premises within
another Class A, five-story building in Xxxxxx Ranch, subject to the following
terms and conditions;
(a) The
rented and usable areas of the new Premises must be of equal size to the
existing Premises (subject to a variation of up to ten percent (10%) provided
the amount of Base Rent payable under this Lease is not increased);
(b) Landlord
shall pay the cost of providing tenant improvements in the new Premises
comparable to the tenant improvements in the existing Premises;
(c) Landlord
shall pay the expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such
substitution of Premises, including but not limited to costs of moving, door
lettering, telephone and telephone cabling relocation and reasonable quantities
of new stationery;
20.2 Notice.
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election to
relocate the Premises, specifying the new location and the amount of rent
payable therefore at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the relocation
is
to be effective. If the relocation of the Premises is not acceptable to Tenant,
Tenant for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice to
relocate shall have the right (by delivering written notice to Landlord) to
terminate this Lease. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, Landlord at its option
may
withdraw its relocation notice, in which event this Lease shall continue and
Tenant shell not be relocated, or accept Tenant’s termination notice, in which
event this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date the relocation was
to
be effective,

21. MORTGAGEE
PROTECTION.
Xxxxxx
agrees to give any Holder, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default
served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been
notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or
otherwise) of the address of such Holder. If Landlord shall have failed to
cure
such default within the time period set forth in Paragraph 18.5 the Holder
shall
have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if
such
default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may
be
necessary to cure such default (including the time necessary to foreclose or
otherwise terminate its Encumbrance, if necessary to effect such cure), and
this
Lease shall not be terminated so long as such remedies are being diligently
pursued.
22. ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES.
(a) Upon
thirty (30) days’ notice from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord, in form provided by or satisfactory to Landlord, a certificate stating
that this Lease is in full force and effect, describing any amendments or
modifications hereto, acknowledging that this Lease is subordinate or prior,
as
the case may be, to any Encumbrance and stating any other information Landlord
may reasonably request, including the term of this Lease, the monthly Base
Rent,
the estimated Operating Cost Payments, the date to which Rent has been paid,
the
amount of any security deposit or prepaid Rent, whether either party hereto
is
in default under the terms of the Lease, whether Landlord has completed its
construction obligations hereunder and any other information reasonably
requested by Landlord. Any person or entity purchasing, acquiring an interest
in
or extending financing with respect to the Project shall be entitled to rely
upon any such certificate. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any reasonable
damages incurred by Landlord including any profits or other benefits from any
financing of the Project or any interest therein which are lost or made
unavailable as a result, directly or indirectly, of Xxxxxx’s failure or refusal
to timely execute or deliver such estoppel certificates.
(b) Tenant’s
failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon
Tenant:
(1) That
this
Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be
represented by Landlord;
(2) That
there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance; and
(3) That
not
more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; and

forth.
23. SURRENDER,
HOLDING OVER
23.1 Surrender.
Upon
the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises
to Landlord in its original condition, except for reasonable wear and tear
and
damage from casualty or condemnation; provided, however, that prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease Tenant shall remove from the Premises
all Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, alterations and other
Above-Standard Improvements that Tenant has the right or is required by Landlord
to remove under the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall also be responsible
for removal of all telephone cables and wires, CRT, data and telephone
equipment, and any other form of cabling that exists in Tenant’s space. If any
of such removal is not completed at the expiration or termination of this Lease,
Landlord may remove the same at Tenant’s expense. Any damage to the Premises or
the Building caused by such removal shall be repaired promptly by Tenant or,
if
Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense, in which event
Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for such expenses together with
interest at the Default rate until so paid. Tenant’s obligations under this
Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Upon
expiration or termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s possession, Tenant shall
surrender all keys to the Premises or any other part of the Building and shall
make known to Landlord the combination of locks on all safes, cabinets and
vaults that may be located in the Premises.

Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination
of this Lease, Xxxxxx’s continued possession shall be on the basis of a tenancy
at the sufferance of Landlord, and Tenant shall continue to comply with or
perform all the terms and obligations of the Tenant under this Lease, except
that the Base Rent during Tenant’s holding over shall be one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent payable in the last month prior to
the
termination or expiration hereof.
24. HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS
Tenant
shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape,
disposal or release of any biologically or chemically active or other hazardous
substances or materials. Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of such
substances or materials in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the highest
standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use of such substances
or materials, nor allow to be brought into the Project any such materials or
substances except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and then
only after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such
substances or materials. Without limitation, hazardous substances and materials
shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601
et
seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under
these
acts. If any lender or governmental agency shall ever require testing to
ascertain whether or not there has been any release of hazardous materials,
then
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the same, and the reasonable costs
thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional
charges if such requirement applies to the Premises. Landlord shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to enter the Premises at any reasonable time
to
perform any required testing, to confirm Tenant’s compliance with the provisions
of this Paragraph, and to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph if
Xxxxxx has failed to do so. In addition, Xxxxxx shall execute affidavits,
representations and the like from time to time at Xxxxxxxx’s request concerning
Xxxxxx’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous
substances or materials on the Premises. In all events, Xxxxxx shall indemnify
Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided in this Lease from any release of
hazardous materials on the Premises occurring while Tenant is in possession,
or
elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. The within
covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the lease
term.

not
be deemed to be relevant in resolving any question of interpretation or
construction of any paragraph of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall
be construed in accordance with the fair meaning of the language used and shall
not be strictly construed against either party. When required by the contents
of
this Lease, the singular includes the plural. Wherever the term “including’ is

term or provision of this Lease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of

of Suit
(a) If
Tenant
or Landlord brings any action for the enforcement or interpretation of this
Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of Rent or possession
of
the Premises, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable

before whom the action was brought based upon an assessment of which party’s
major arguments or positions taken in the suit or proceeding could fairly be
said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on
major disputed issues in the court’s decision.
(b) Should
Landlord, without fault on Landlord’s part, be made a party to any litigation
instituted by Tenant or by any third party against Tenant, or by or against

at law or in equity.
25.7 Binding
Effect: Choice of Law.

25.8 Waiver.
No
covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except
by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed, and any
waiver or breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to
be a
waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant,
term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of any performance by Xxxxxx after
the
time the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord
of
the breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise
expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.

25.9 Force
Majeure.
In the
event Landlord is delayed, interrupted or prevented from performing any of
its
obligations under this Lease, including its obligations under the Work Letter,
and such delay, interruption or prevention is due to fire, act of God,
governmental act, strike, labor dispute, unavailability of materials or any
other cause outside the reasonable control of Landlord, then the time for
performance of the affected obligations of Landlord shall be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of such delay, interruption or prevention.
Each

Commencement Adjustment Day.
25.10 Landlord’s
Liability.
The
term “Landlord”, as used in this Lease, shall mean only the owner or owners of
the Project at the time in question. Notwithstanding any other term or provision
of this Lease, the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease
is

to time be encumbered, and no personal liability shall at any time be asserted
or enforceable against any other assets of Landlord or against Landlord’s
stockholders, directors, officers or partners on account of any of Landlord’s
obligations or actions under this Lease, In addition, in the event of any
conveyance of title to the Building or the Project, then from and after the

such determination made by arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint
and employ, at its cost, a real estate appraiser (who shall be licensed in

two
appraisers, thus appointed, shall meet promptly and attempt to agree upon and
designate a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth above within
ten (10) days after the date of appointment of the last of the two
appraisers.

parties, after giving five (5) days’ notice to the other, shall request the
American Arbitration Association in the county in which the Premises are located
to appoint such independent third appraiser who shall be of similar affiliation
or background of the appraisers aforementioned. Each of the parties shall bear
one-half of the cost of the appointment of the third appraiser and of the third
appraiser’s fee.

(iv) Within
thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a majority of
the
appraisers shall agree upon the Fair Market Value. If a majority of the
appraisers are unable to agree within the stipulated time, then each appraiser
shall render his/her separate appraisal within such time, and the three
appraisals shall be averaged in order to establish such rate; provided, however,
if the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are more than ten (10%) percent
lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or high
appraisal shall he disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded, the
remaining two appraisals shall be averaged in order to establish such Fair
Market Value. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded,
the middle appraisal shall establish the Fair Market Value. After the Fair
Market Value has been established, the appraisers shall immediately notify
the
parties in writing.
(d) Notice.
In the
event Tenant does not provide Landlord with written notice of its intent to
exercise this Option to Extend within the aforementioned time frame, Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived its Option to Extend.
