its
obligations under the Prime Lease and this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have
no
obligation to
perform any of the terms, covenant and conditions contained in the Prime Lease

any
or all
of

any
failure of Prime Landlord to provide such services, utilities, insurance, work,

Section

tear,
casualty and

shall
be
deemed to have been abandoned by Subtenant and may be retained by Sublandlord
as
its own
property or (ii)
such
property may be removed and disposed of by Sublandlord at the expense
of Subtenant. Subtenant's obligations under this Section
14
shall
survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Sublease.

of
this Sublease
(as contemplated by Section 27 below), Subtenant shall not be obligated to

failure of Sublandlord to insist in any one or more instances upon
the
strict performance of any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or
conditions of
this
Sublease, or to exercise any election or option contained in this Sublease,
shall not be construed
as a waiver or relinquishment, or the future or in any other instance, of such
covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition, election or
option.
16. Holdover.
If
Subtenant shall unlawfully hold possession of the Subleased Premises after
the
end of the Term, then without limitation of Sublandlord's rights and remedies
under
this Sublease at law or in equity, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the
greater of (i)
any
amounts
owed by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord as a result of Subtenant's holding over,
or (ii)
monthly
holdover rent equal to One Hundred and Fifty (150) percent of the Base Rent
and
Additional
Rent payable in the last month of the Term.
17. Default.
If
Subtenant is in default of this Sublease and such default continues for
a
period
in excess of the period of grace, if any, expressly set forth in the Prime
Lease, the Sublandlord
shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available to a landlord
generally under
California law, including those remedies set forth in the Prime Lease. In the
event of a material default in any material term of this Sublease by
Sublandlord, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord
with written notice of such default. In the event that Sublandlord does not
cure, or commence
in good faith to cure, such default within ninety (90) days after receipt of
written notice
by
Sublandlord, then Subtenant shall, in addition to all rights it may have in
law
or in equity,
shall have the right to terminate this Sublease upon written notice to Landlord
and Subtenant
shall be relieved from all future liabilities and obligations under this
Sublease. For purposes
of this provision, "material terms" shall he limited to sections 11 and 12
hereunder.
18.
Security
Deposit.
Subtenant shall tender to Sublandlord a security deposit equal to
the
second and last month's rent ($36,960.00) and prepay Sublandlord its first
month's rent ($17,920.00) upon the parties' execution of a sublease and receipt
of Prime Landlord's consent to
such
sublease.
19. Prime
Landlord's Consent.
As a
condition precedent to Subtenant's obligations hereunder,
Sublandlord shall obtain Prime Landlord's consent to this Sublease. Sublandlord
shall
not
be required to (i)
take any
act which would authorize or permit Prime Landlord to terminate
the Prime Lease or (ii)
make any
payment to Prime Landlord or (iii)
commence
any litigation in order to obtain Prime Landlord's consent, and Sublandlord
shall incur no liability if Sublandlord
does not obtain Prime Landlord's consent; provided, however, if Sublandlord
does
not
obtain Prime Landlord's consent within forty-five (45) days after receipt by
Sublandlord's legal
counsel of an executed counterpart of this Sublease signed by Subtenant, this
Sublease shall at
the
discretion of Subtenant be null, any and all such executed counterparts of
the
Sublease, together
with the Security Deposit and first monthly installment of Base Rent, shall
be
promptly returned
to Subtenant, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further obligation

20. Limitation
of Liability.
As used
in this Sublease, the term "Sublandlord" shall refer
only to the owner from time to time of the Tenant's interest in the Prime Lease
so that if Sublandlord
shall assign its interest in the Prime Lease, then the assignor shall be
entirely freed from all obligations, covenants and duties under this Sublease
thereafter accruing, provided that the
assignee assumes the liability of Sublandlord for all such obligations,
covenants and duties under
this Sublease thereafter accruing.
21. Sublandlord
Consent or Approval.
Whenever
under any provision of this Sublease
(including any provision of the Prime Lease incorporated in this Sublease by
reference) Sublandlord's
consent or approval is required or referred to, Sublandlord may grant or deny
such consent or approval arbitrarily, except in those instances in which,
pursuant to law or pursuant to a provision of this Sublease. Sublandlord is
required not to unreasonably withhold its consent or approval.
Sublandlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent if
Sublandlord
is required to obtain the consent of Prime Landlord and Prime Landlord does
not
give
such
consent.
22. Sublandlord
Right to Cure.
If
Subtenant shall at any time fail to perform any of its obligations
under this Sublease, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such
failure for
the
account of and at the expense of Subtenant, and the amount of any costs,
payments or expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with such cure
(including reasonable counsel fees)
shall be deemed additional rent and payable by Subtenant on demand under this
Sublease.

25. Authorization
to Direct Sublease Payments.
Subtenant shall have the right to pay all rent
and
other sums owing by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder for those items which
also are owed
by
Sublandlord to Landlord under the Lease directly to Landlord if Subtenant
reasonably believes
that Sublandlord has failed to make any payment required to be made by
Sublandlord to Landlord
under the Lease and Sublandlord fails to provide adequate proof of payment
within five (5)
business days after Subtenant's written demand requesting such proof. Any sums
paid directly
by Subtenant to Landlord in accordance with this paragraph shall be credited
toward the amounts
payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under the Sublease. In the event Subtenant
tenders payment
directly to Landlord in accordance with this paragraph and Landlord refuses
to
accept such
payment, Subtenant shall have the right to deposit such funds in an account
with
a national bank
for
the benefit of Landlord and Sublandlord, and the deposit of said funds in such
account shall
discharge Subtenant's obligation under Sublease to make the payment in
question.
26. Quiet
Enjoyment.
So long
as Subtenant has met its requirements under this agreement. Sublandlord
shall protect Subtenant in its quiet enjoyment of the premises. In the event
that Sublandlord
defaults in the performance or observance of any of Sublandlord's remaining
obligations under the Lease or fails to perform Sublandlord's stated obligations
under the Sublease,
then Subtenant shall give Sublandlord notice specifying in what manner
Sublandlord has
defaulted, and if such default shall not be cured by Sublandlord within thirty
(30) days thereafter
(except that if such default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period,
this period
shall be extended for an additional reasonable time, provided that Sublandlord
commences
to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently
thereafter
to effect such cure as quickly as possible), then Subtenant shall be entitled
to
cure such default
and promptly collect from Sublandlord Subtenant's reasonable expenses in so
doing (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees). Subtenant shall not be
required, however, to wait the entire cure period described herein if earlier
action is required to comply with
the
Lease or with any applicable governmental law, regulation or order.
27. Execution
of Lease Amendment with Prime Landlord.
Subtenant leases that portion of the
Building not leased by Sublandlord from Prime Landlord. This Sublease is
conditioned upon Subtenant's
execution of a lease amendment pursuant to which Subtenant shall extend the
term
of
its
lease with Prime Landlord and lease the Subleased Premises from Prime Landlord
after the expiration
of this Sublease. The condition set forth in this Section 27 shall be deemed
to
be satisfied
on or before June 21, 2006 unless Subtenant provides written notice to
Sublandlord on or
before
June 21, 2006 that it has not been satisfied.
