or personal property owned by Landlord (i) imposes an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual and (ii) is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain Landlord’s consent before taking such action. As used herein, “Required Condition” shall mean returning the Premises and any other directly affected real or personal property owned by Landlord to a condition that is both (A) required by applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or order, including without limitation, performing any required cleanup, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of Hazardous Materials, and (B) consistent with Landlord’s operation, use and leasing of the Premises (and any other directly affected real or personal property owned by Landlord) for those uses described in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend (with attorneys reasonably acceptable to Landlord) Landlord and any successors to all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Premises and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, diminution in value, judgments, fines, demands, claims, recoveries, deficiencies, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, court costs and other professional expenses), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising directly or indirectly out of the use, generation, storage, treatment, release, on- or off-site disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, into, from, under or about the Premises and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord or any other party caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees or invitees. Such indemnity obligation shall specifically include, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, restoration, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises, and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord, the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary during the Term or after the expiration of this Lease and any loss of.rental due to the inability to lease the Premises as a result of such Hazardous Materials the remediation thereof or any repair, restoration or cleanup related thereto.

Upon Landlord’s approval of such plan, Tenant shall, at its expense, and without limitation of any rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity, immediately implement such plan and proceed to cleanup, remediate and/or remove all such Hazardous Materials in accordance with all applicable laws and as required by such plan and this Lease.

All reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord, including Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s demand. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than twenty (20) days’ prior notice in writing before commencing construction of any kind on the Premises so that Landlord may post and maintain notices of nonresponsibility on the Premises.

SECTION 7.5. ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all reasonable times, and upon prior written notice (except in emergencies, in which event no such notice shall be required), have the right to enter the Premises to inspect same, to perform Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations in accordance with this Lease, and to submit the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers or encumbrance holders (or, during the last one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Term, to prospective tenants), all without being deemed to have caused an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent except Tenant shall have the right to accompany Landlord during any such entry (provided that the unavailability or lack of cooperation of a representative of Tenant shall not limit Landlord’s rights to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Section 7.5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall endeavor to coordinate any entry onto the Premises with Tenant so that it does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business.

ARTICLE VIII. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT’S PROPERTY

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all personal property (including trade fixtures) of Tenant located on the Premises. When possible, Tenant shall cause its personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of which the Premises form a part. If any taxes on Tenant’s personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property and if Landlord pays the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion of a value placed upon the personal property of Tenant and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon the increased assessment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand therefor the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of the taxes resulting from the increase in the assessment

ARTICLE IX. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

SECTION 9.1. RIGHTS OF PARTIES.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, but except as provided in subsection (e) below, Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, sublet, encumber, or otherwise transfer (any or all of which are sometimes referenced to herein as a “Transfer”) all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. No assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) and no subletting shall be valid or effective without Landlord’s prior written consent and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a material default of this Lease. To the extent not prohibited by provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including Section 365(1)(1), Tenant on behalf of itself and its creditors, administrators and assigns waives the applicability of Section 365(e) of the Bankruptcy Code unless the proposed assignee of the Trustee for the estate of the bankrupt meets Landlord’s standard for consent as set forth in Section 9.1(cl of this Lease. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration to be delivered in connection with the assignment shall be delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of the assignment, and shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming that assumption.

(b) If Tenant is a corporation, or is an unincorporated association, partnership or limited liability company (other than a publicly traded corporation or other entity), the transfer of any stock or ownership interest in the corporation, association, partnership or limited liability company which results in a change in the voting control of Tenant, if any, shall be deemed a Transfer within the meaning and provisions of this Article IX.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) above, in lieu of consenting to a proposed assignment of this Lease or to a subletting of all or substantially all of the Premises for all or substantially the remainder of the Term (other than an assignment or subletting to a “Tenant Affiliate” pursuant to subsection (e) below), Landlord may elect to (i) sublease the Premises (or the portion proposed to be so subleased), or take an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, upon the same terms as offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee, or (ii) terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased or assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable under this Lease, effective on the date that the proposed sublease or assignment would have become effective. Landlord may thereafter, at its option, assign or relet any space so recaptured to any third party, including without limitation the proposed transferee of Tenant. Should Landlord elect to exercise its rights under this subsection (d). then Tenant shall have the right, by written notice to Landlord given within five (5) business days following such election by Landlord, to rescind its request to effect an assignment or subletting, in which event Tenant’s proposed assignment or subletting shall not be consummated and Landlord’s recapture election shall be null and void.

(d) Provided (i) Tenant is not in material default hereunder, and (ii) no such transaction is undertaken with the intent of circumventing the Transfer restrictions under this Section 9.1, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent but with prior written notice to Landlord, assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to (a) any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, (b) any entity succeeding to the business and assets of Tenant (including a sale of stock or other ownership interests of Tenant to such successor entity), or (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Tenant, or the principal owners (shareholders, partners, members, etc.) of Tenant (collectively, a “Tenant Affiliate”) effecting such Transfer.

(e) In the event of any assignment or subletting of the Premises, one hundred percent (100%) of any excess rent received by the Tenant from the assignment or subletting, whether during or after the Term, shall be paid to Landlord when received.

SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant, or any successor-in-interest to Tenant hereunder, of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease. Moreover, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, as provided in Section 10.3, for any act or omission by an assignee or subtenant. Each assignee shall be deemed to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of all rent, and for the due performance of all of Tenant’s obligations, under this Lease. Such joint and several liability shall not be discharged or impaired by any subsequent modification or extension of this Lease. No Transfer shall be binding on Landlord unless any document memorializing the Transfer is delivered to Landlord and, except with respect to a Transfer to a Tenant Affiliate, both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed consent to Transfer instrument prepared by Landlord and consistent with the requirements of this Article IX. The acceptance by

Landlord of any payment due under this Lease 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 Transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfers shall not operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights under this Lease.

SECTION 9.3. SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises:

(a) Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the Premises, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default occurs in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to receive and collect the sublease rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that an uncured default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all sums then and thereafter due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against the subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so paid to Landlord. In the event Landlord collects amounts from subtenants that exceed the total amount then due from Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall promptly remit the excess to Tenant.

(b) In the event of the termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at its sole option, take over Tenant’s entire interest in any sublease and, upon notice from Landlord, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no event, however, shall Landlord be liable for any previous act or omission by Tenant under the sublease or for the return of any advance rental payments or deposits under the sublease that have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any sublease modification executed without Landlord’s consent or for any advance rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month’s rent. The general provisions of this Lease, including without limitation those pertaining to insurance and indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the sublease despite the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE X. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

SECTION 10.1. TENANT’S INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide and maintain in effect during the Term the insurance described in Exhibit “D”. Evidence of such insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date, and upon each renewal date of the applicable policies.

SECTION 10.2. INDEMNITY.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, lenders, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising on or after the Commencement Date from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or from the conduct of its business, or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, subtenants, invitees or licensees in or about the Premises, or from any default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease, or from any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord’s defense in any action covered by this Section 10.2.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to Section 10.3, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising on or after the Commencement Date from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or anyone acting on behalf of or under the direction of Landlord.

(c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant will be liable for punitive damages, consequential damages or special damages (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that any damages incurred by a party hereto arising out of third party claims for which indemnification is required pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed actual damages of the party which incurs them and not subject to the foregoing exclusion). Tenant shall be fully liable for any and all consequential damages relating to or arising out of any failure of Tenant to vacate and surrender the Premises on or prior to the expiration of the Term in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (collectively, “Holdover Consequential Damages”); provided, however, Tenant’s liability for Holdover Consequential Damages shall not exceed an amount equal to the monthly Basic Rent payable during the period immediately preceding the Expiration Date multiplied by thirty (30).

(d} The terms of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

SECTION 10.3. LANDLORD’S NONLIABILITY. Except only to the extent arising from the gross negligence (which includes, without limitation, the grossly negligent failure to comply with Applicable Laws) or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its employees and agents for loss of or damage to any property, or any injury to any person, resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works or other fixtures in the Premises, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining appropriate insurance to protect its interests.

ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

SECTION 11.1. RESTORATION.

(a) If the Building is damaged as the result of an event of casualty, Tenant shall repair such damage at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without seeking reimbursement from Landlord.

(b) A casualty event shall not entitle the Tenant to any abatement of Basic Rent, Percentage Rent or any additional rent to be paid under this Lease.

SECTION 11.2. LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.

ARTICLE XII. EMINENT DOMAIN

SECTION 12.1. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, or if a taking or sale in lieu thereof occurs which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party prior to the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority and effective as of the date of such surrender of possession. In the event title to a portion of the Premises is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to restore the Premises in such a way as to alter the Premises in a manner which materially interferes with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease, by written notice to Landlord, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises to substantially its condition prior to the taking (at Landlord’s sole cost and expense), but excluding any Alterations made by Tenant, and a proportionate abatement of rent shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section 12.1 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal property and trade fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority, or for any other claim for which Tenant is entitled to compensation by the taking authority under Applicable Law.

SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease, but any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall belong entirely to Tenant. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period of not to exceed ninety (90) days.

ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

SECTION 13.1. SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord or any of its mortgagees/deed of trust beneficiaries, this Lease shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises disturbed in the event of termination of any such ground or underlying lease, or the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to which Tenant has subordinated this Lease pursuant to this Section 13.1. In the event of a termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attorn to the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, and shall promptly execute any reasonable instrument required by Landlord’s successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also, within ten (10) business days following written request of Landlord (or the beneficiary under any deed of trust encumbering the Premises), execute and deliver all reasonable instruments as may be required from time to time by Landlord or such beneficiary (including without limitation any commercially reasonable subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement) to subordinate this Lease and the rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust; provided, however, that any such beneficiary may, by written notice to Tenant given at any time, subordinate the lien of its deed of trust to this Lease. Notwithstanding this Section 13.1, Tenant shall only be obligated to subordinate its leasehold interest to any mortgage, deed of trust, or underlying lease now or

hereafter placed upon the Premises if the instrument evidencing such subordination does not require Tenant to increase its leasehold obligations and if the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust or the landlord under such underlying lease will grant to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement, which will provide that Tenant, notwithstanding any default of Landlord hereunder, shall have the right to remain in possession of the Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease for so long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s mortgagees and successors-in-interest and all beneficiaries under deeds of trust encumbering the Premises are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 13.1.

SECTION 13.2. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing in favor of Landlord and/or any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant’s actual best knowledge, there are no material uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii) acknowledging, to Tenant’s best knowledge, such further factual information that Landlord may reasonably request, provided Tenant is not thereby required to increase its obligations under this Lease. Tenant’s statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Premises.

SECTION 13.3. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. It is agreed that if there is any purchase money financing, a memorandum of lease shall be executed by Landlord and Tenant concurrently with the execution of this Lease, which shall be recorded in the offices of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California prior to the recordation of any mortgage or deed of trust which secures any purchase money financing obtained in connection with Landlord’s acquisition of the Premises, such that this Lease will be senior to such mortgage or deed of trust (subject to the obligation of Tenant to execute a subordination agreement pursuant to Section 13.1 above). Alternatively, this Lease may be subordinate to such purchase money financing, if Tenant receives a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from the mortgagee/beneficiary at or prior to the recordation of such mortgage or deed of trust, in which event a memorandum of lease shall not be recorded.

SECTION 13.4. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Within ten (10) business days following the request of Landlord, at any time during the Term that Tenant is not a “publicly traded company” (i.e., ownership interests are listed on a public securities exchange), but not more than one time during each Lease Year (other than in connection with a sale or refinancing of the Premises), then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord copies of Tenant’s financial statements, showing the complete results of Tenant’s operations for its immediately preceding fiscal year, certified as true and correct by the officer of Tenant with primary responsibility as to financial matters and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

ARTICLE XIV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 14.1. TENANT’S DEFAULTS. In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Basic Rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, or the failure of Tenant to perform any of its obligations under Article XIII within the time periods specified therein, where the failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended.

(b) Assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

(c) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this Section 14.1, where the failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended.

(d) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) 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, if possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; (iv) 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 the seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days; or (v) Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection (d) unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant’s insolvency. In the event that any provision of this subsection (d) is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.

SECTION 14.2. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

(a) In the event of any default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:

(i) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant:

(1) The unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination together with interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum;

(2) The unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term together with interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum;

(3) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result from Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, commissions and other expenses of reletting, including necessary and reasonable repair, renovation, improvement and alteration of the Premises for a new tenant, the unamortized portion of any tenant improvements and brokerage commissions funded by Landlord in connection with this Lease, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other reasonable costs, with the foregoing amounts to be discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%); and

(4) At Landlord’s election, all other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. For purposes of this Section 14.2, any sum, other than Basic Rent, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately prior to default, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before the twenty-four (24) month period has occurred, then the computation shall be on the basis of the average monthly amount during the shorter period.

(ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain, preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord’s interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this subsection {iil. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting of the Premises.

(b) The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided by California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies at the same time. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any default by Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i) waiver of any preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord’s right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach or default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor in possession, a trustee, a receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or Tenant’s estate shall not waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1174 or 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event this Lease is terminated by reason of any default by Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

SECTION 14.3. LATE PAYMENTS. Any rent due under this Lease that is not paid to Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date due until fully paid. The payment of the interest and late charge shall not cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the 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 and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any rent due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in the amount of $1,000.00 for each delinquent payment during each Lease Year. Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies.

SECTION 14.4. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All.covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, or fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and the failure continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its election make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant’s part. Landlord’s election to make the payment or perform the act on Tenant’s part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord.

SECTION 14.5. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease unless and until it has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion. In the event of a default by Landlord beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have all rights and remedies at law and in equity.

SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all other costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this Section shall be determined by the trier of the facts.

SECTION 14.7. JUDICIAL REFERENCE.

IT IS THE DESIRE AND INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO AGREE UPON A MECHANISM AND PROCEDURE UNDER WHICH CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR RELATED TO THE PREMISES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER. ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS FOR UNLAWFUL OR FORCIBLE DETAINER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OF ATTACHMENT, ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBSIDIARY OR

AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, SHALL BE HEARD AND RESOLVED BY A REFEREE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, SECTIONS 638-645.1, INCLUSIVE (AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO) (THE “REFEREE SECTIONS”). ANY FEE TO INITIATE THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PAID BY THE PARTY INITIATING SUCH PROCEDURE; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE COSTS AND FEES, INCLUDING ANY INITIATION FEE, OF SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL ULTIMATELY BE BORNE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 14.6 ABOVE. THE VENUE OF THE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED. WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF DELIVERY BY ANY PARTY TO THE OTHER PARTY OF A WRITTEN REQUEST TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 14.7, THE PARTIES SHALL AGREE UPON A SINGLE REFEREE WHO SHALL TRY ALL ISSUES, WHETHER OF FACT OR LAW, AND REPORT A FINDING AND JUDGMENT ON SUCH ISSUES AS REQUIRED BY THE REFEREE SECTIONS. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAY PERIOD, THEN ANY PARTY MAY THEREAFTER FILE A LAWSUIT IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 AND 640, AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OF ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO.. IF THE REFEREE IS APPOINTED BY THE COURT, THE REFEREE SHALL BE A NEUTRAL AND IMPARTIAL RETIRED JUDGE WITH SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE IN THE RELEVANT MATTERS TO BE DETERMINED, FROM JAMS/ENDISPUTE, INC., THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION OR SIMILAR MEDIATION/ARBITRATION ENTITY. THE PROPOSED REFEREE MAY BE CHALLENGED BY ANY PARTY FOR ANY OF THE GROUNDS LISTED IN SECTION 641 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO.

ARTICLE XXI. EARLY TERMINATION

SECTION 21.1. EARLY TERMINATION. In the event that any local and/or state laws prohibit Tenant or any subtenant from operating at the Premises during the Term, except for Los Angeles Proposition D, which Landlord agrees that Tenant satisfies the requirements for limited immunity, then such condition shall give the Tenant or the Landlord the right to terminate this Lease and any sublease or assignment agreements, upon delivering a thirty (30) day written notice to the other party of such party’s intent to terminate this Lease, and such termination will be without any penalty to Landlord, Tenant or any subtenant. Landlord shall return any funds held by Landlord as a security deposit upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises.

SECTION 21.2. RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant and Landlord hereby agree that in the event any governmental agency, authority, or enforcement body initiates or commences an action in California or Federal court to impose any criminal or civil liability, penalty or fine, of any kind against Landlord, Tenant, or their agents arising out of or related to Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises, either party reserves the right to immediately terminate this Lease. Termination under this provision shall be effective thirty (30) days after providing of written notice by either Landlord or Tenant. All obligations of the Landlord and/or Tenant, except for those obligations, which specifically survive lease termination pursuant to the Lease, shall terminate upon the effective date of such notice.

Landlord shall return any funds held by Landlord as a security deposit upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises.

ARTICLE XXII. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant shall be required to deposit with Landlord upon execution of this Lease the security deposit as set forth in Article I, Section 8 as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, request a deferment of Tenant’s obligation to pay the security deposit as aforesaid, and Landlord may elect to defer such payment in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If Landlord defers such requirement, Tenant shall, within two (2) business days after Landlord’s request therefor, pay the security deposit set forth in Article I, Section 8 to Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay rent, or otherwise defaults under this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said security deposit for the payment of any amount already due Landlord, for rent which will be due in the future, and/ or to reimburse or compensate Landlord for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Landlord may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Landlord uses or applies all or any portion of the security deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written request therefor deposit monies with Landlord sufficient to restore said security deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Basic Rent increases during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall, upon written request from Landlord, deposit additional monies with Landlord so that the total amount of the security deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the increased Basic Rent as the initial security deposit bore to the initial Basic Rent. Should the agreed use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Tenant or to accommodate a subtenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the right to increase the security deposit to the extent necessary, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that the premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Tenant occurs during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of Tenant is, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Tenant shall deposit such additional monies with Landlord as shall be sufficient to cause the security deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based on such change in financial condition. Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit separate from its general accounts. Within ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return that portion of the security deposit not used or applied by Landlord. Landlord shall upon written request provide Tenant with an accounting showing how that portion of the security deposit that was not returned was applied. No part of the security deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.
