---------------
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord at Landlord's address, or at such other place
designated by Landlord by written notice to Tenant, the Rent, in lawful
money of the United States, in advance, without demand, off-set or
deduction, on the first day of each calendar month of the Term hereof. In
the event the Term commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs
other than on the first day or the last day of a calendar month, the Rent
for such month shall be prorated. This Lease is what is commonly called a
"net lease"; it being understood that Landlord shall receive the Rent free
and clear of any and all impositions, taxes, liens, charges or expenses of
any nature or kind whatsoever in connection with the ownership and
operation of the Premises. If Rent is not received as provided above and on
or before the fifth day of each calendar month, a 6% late charge shall be
payable by Tenant as provided in Paragraph 13.4 to compensate Landlord for
expense incurred by Landlord for record keeping and collection. In the
event that a late charge is payable, whether or not collected, three times
in any twelve month period, then Rent shall automatically become due and
payable quarterly in advance for the next twelve month period.
5. Deposits.
--------
5.1 Taxes, Insurance and Maintenance Reserve. Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord each month the amount set forth in Paragraph 1 as a reserve to be
used to pay real property taxes, maintenance expenses, management expenses,
and insurance expenses on the Premises which are payable by Tenant under
the terms of this Lease. Tenant's expense obligations shall include a 10%
management fee on Tenant expenses collected by Landlord. At least once
annually Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written reconciliation of
expenses. Within sixty (60) days after Landlord provides Tenant with such
written reconciliation, Tenant may deliver written notice to Landlord
stating that Tenant desires to audit Landlord's determination of such
expenses. If Tenant gives such notice timely requesting the right to
conduct such audit, Landlord shall make available to Tenant for inspection
or auditing during normal business hours, at Landlord's address, all books
and records with respect to such expenses. If the dispute shall be
resolved in Tenant's favor, Landlord shall within thirty (30) days credit
or pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant's overpayment. If the amounts
deposited with Landlord by Tenant under the provisions of this Paragraph
are insufficient to discharge the obligations of Tenant, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord, upon Landlord's demand, the additional sums
necessary to fully satisfy such obligations. If Tenant's deposits are in
excess of the expenses, the excess shall be credited to the next month's
rent. All monies deposited with Landlord under this Paragraph may be
intermingled with other monies of Landlord and shall not bear interest.
Landlord shall be responsible for paying all taxes, insurance, maintenance
and management expenses from the reserves maintained pursuant to this
Paragraph 5.1, it being understood that Landlord shall be liable for any
damages, fees, penalties or interest incurred by Landlord or Tenant and
resulting from Landlord's failure to timely make such payments.
5.2 Security Deposit. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security
Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1 above as security for Tenant's faithful
performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay Rent
or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any
provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any
portion of said deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in
default, or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become
obligated by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any
loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or
applies all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10)
days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount stated in Paragraph
1, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.
Landlord shall not be required to keep said deposit separate from its
general accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant's obligations hereunder,
said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by
Landlord, shall be returned, to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the
last assignee, if any, of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration of
the Term hereof, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. No trust
relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to
said Security Deposit. In the event Tenant maintains an audited net worth
in excess of $2,000,000 as of the normal date on which Tenant's outside
auditors examine Tenant's financial statements, the amount of the Security
deposit shall be reduced to $80,000 as of July 15, 1998, to $60,000 as of
July 15, 1999, to $30,000 as of July 15, 2000 and to $20,000 as of July 15,
2001. The irrevocable letter of credit may have an initial term of one
year. Beginning on July 15, 1998 and continuing through the term of the
Lease, Tenant may, at its option, deposit cash with the Landlord or provide
an irrevocable letter of credit in fulfillment of the requirement for a
Security Deposit.
6. Use.
---
6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the uses
stated in Paragraph 1.
6.2 Compliance with Law: Prior Restriction. Tenant shall, at Tenant's
sole expense, comply promptly and continuously with all applicable
statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, restrictions of record,
and requirements in effect during the Term, or any part of the Term hereof,
regulating the Use of the Premises. Tenant shall not use or permit the use
of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance.
Outside storage shall not be allowed under any circumstances unless it is
in full compliance with all City regulations.
6.3 Condition of Premises. Tenant hereby accepts the Premises in their
condition existing as of the date of the execution hereof, and subject to
all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and
regulations and any covenants or restrictions of record governing and
regulating the use of the Premises, and accepts this Lease subject thereto
and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for any costs of, or liabilities
resulting from failure to comply with, ADA or related requirements or
regulations. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord's
agents has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the
Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business, and that Tenant has made
such legal and factual inquiries with respect thereto as it deems
appropriate and has relied solely thereon.
6.4 Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause any hazardous wastes,
chemicals or materials (collectively "Hazardous Materials") to be used,
generated, stored or disposed of on or about the Premises except in the
ordinary course of Tenant's business, and then only in compliance with all
Hazardous Materials Laws. Hazardous Materials means those substances
described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended 42 U.S.C. Section 6901
et seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted
under these acts (collectively, "Hazardous Materials Laws"). Tenant shall
be liable to Landlord for any and all damages caused by Tenant's breach of
the foregoing covenants. Landlord shall not be liable for any claims,
damages or losses due to the effects of Hazardous Materials on the Premises
that is caused by owners, tenants, licensees, and invitees of other
properties or is not directly caused by Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify,
defend by counsel acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from
and against any claims, damages or liabilities arising out of a breach of
any provision of this Paragraph 6.4. Landlord and Tenant each agree to
promptly notify the other party of, and provide copies of, any
communication received from any governmental entity concerning Hazardous
Materials or the violation of Hazardous Materials Laws that relate to the
Premises. If Landlord requires testing to ascertain whether there has been
any violation of Hazardous Materials Laws on the Premises, then upon prior
written notice to Tenant, Landlord, may require any such testing that is
then customarily used for that purpose. The cost of such testing shall be
an expense of Landlord if Tenant has not violated any Hazardous Material
Laws. In the event that Tenant has violated any Hazardous Material Laws,
then the cost of testing, together with all other costs for remediation or
any other related liability, shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges
that, due to the nature of many industrial uses, exposure to hazardous
materials (including noxious gases and liquids) from surrounding neighbors
and properties may occur. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be held
liable in any way for any such exposure. Further, to the extent that
Landlord is required by the City, or any other entity with jurisdiction, to
implement actions to protect the Premises from the aforementioned
exposure(s), then Tenant shall participate to the fullest extent reasonably
possible in implementing the protective actions required by the City, or
other authority. The cost of installation and maintenance of any
protective actions or systems shall be a maintenance expense and shall be
reimbursable by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Paragraph 5.1 hereof.
The covenants contained herein shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease.
7. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.
------------------------------------
7.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the Premises and every part thereof (structural and
nonstructural), including the walls, floor, roof, all adjacent sidewalks,
landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences located in the areas which are
adjacent to and included in the Premises. At the reasonable cost and
expense of Tenant, the landscaping shall be maintained by a professional
gardener and the exterior of the building shall be repainted (with color
and paint scheme to be approved by Landlord) at least once every four (4)
years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible only for
Tenant's Share of any building expenses required pursuant to this
Paragraph. All costs incurred pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 shall be paid
pursuant to Paragraph 5.1 hereof.
7.2 Surrender. On the last day of the Term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same
condition as when received, clean and free of debris. Tenant shall repair
any damage to the Premises occasioned by the removal of Tenant's trade
fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Tenant shall leave the air lines,
power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space
heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and fencing on the Premises in good
operating condition.
7.3 Landlord Rights. If Tenant fails to perform Tenant's obligations
under this Paragraph 7, or under any other paragraph of this Lease,
Landlord may, at its option (but shall not be required to), enter upon the
Premises, after ten (10) days' prior written notice to Tenant (except in
the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be required),
perform such obligations on Tenant's behalf and put the same in good order,
condition and repair, and the cost thereof shall become due and payable as
additional Rent to Landlord together with Tenant's next Rent payment.
7.4 Landlord's Obligations. Except for the obligations of Landlord
under Paragraph 9 and 14, it is intended by the parties hereto that
Landlord shall have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and
maintain the Premises nor the building located thereon nor the equipment
therein, whether structural or non-structural, all of which obligations are
intended to be that of the Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
California Civil Code Section 1941 and 1942 or any related or successor
provision of law which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make
repairs at Landlord's expense, or to terminate this Lease because of
Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and
repair.
7.5 Alterations and Additions.
(a) Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, make
any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations in, on or
about the Premises, except for non-structural alterations not exceeding Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) in cumulative costs, during the Term of this
Lease. As used in this Paragraph 7.5, the term "Utility Installations"
shall include carpeting, window coverings, air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters, air
conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's
prior written consent, make any roof penetrations. Landlord shall have the
right and sole discretion to approve the location and form of any roof
penetrations. Landlord may require that Tenant remove any or all of said
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations at the
expiration of the Term, and restore the Premises to their prior condition.
Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Landlord
against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure
completion of work. In the event a mechanic's or materialmen's lien is
filed against the Premises, or the Property of which the Premises are a
part, Tenant shall be required to immediately provide a bond to remove the
lien from title. Failure to immediately remove any type of mechanic's or
materialmen's lien from the Premises shall be a material default of this
Lease. Should Tenant make any alterations, improvements, additions or
Utility Installations without the prior approval of Landlord, Landlord may
require that Tenant immediately remove any or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
in, or about the Premises, that Tenant shall desire to make, and which
require the consent of the Landlord, shall be presented to Landlord in
written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Landlord shall give its
consent, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a
permit to do so from appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a
copy thereof to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work and the
compliance by Tenant with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and
expeditious manner.
(c) Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use
in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Tenant
shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in or on the Premises, and Landlord shall have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as
provided by law.
(d) Unless Landlord requires their removal, as set forth in Paragraph
7.5(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of
Tenant), which may be made on the Premises, shall become the property of
Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph
7.5(d),Tenant's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed
to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the
Premises, shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.2.
7.6 Common Area Maintenance. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may
arrange for any portion of the exterior or common area maintenance and
repair. Tenant shall be responsible only for Tenant's Share of such costs.
All costs incurred pursuant to this Paragraph 7.6 shall be paid pursuant to
Paragraph 5.1 hereof.

8.1 Coverage. The following insurance and any additional insurance
coverage that may be required by law, or holders of mortgages or deeds of

provided by Tenant shall provide that such policies are primary and
non-contributing with any insurance carried by the Landlord.

time, but in no event less than the total amount required by lenders having

and special extended perils ("all risk" as such term is used in the
insurance industry). Said insurance shall provide for payment of loss
thereunder to Landlord or to the holders of mortgages or deeds of trust on
the Premises. A stipulated value or agreed amount endorsement deleting the
co-insurance provision of the policy shall be procured with said insurance.
If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount
shall not exceed $5,000 per occurrence, and Tenant shall be liable for such
deductible amount.
(b) Comprehensive general liability (Landlord's risk only including
without limitation bodily injury, personal injury and property damage
insurance) in the amount of six (6) million dollars or such higher limits
as Landlord may reasonably require.
(c) Insurance against abatement or loss of rent in case of fire or
other casualty in an amount equal to the Rent, Real Property Taxes, and
insurance premium payments to be made by Tenant during one (1) year; and
(d) Commercial general liability insurance (including without
limitation bodily injury, personal injury and property damage), with limits
at least as high as the amounts respectively stated in Paragraph 1 or such
higher limits as Landlord may reasonably require. If insurance with a
general aggregate limit is used, the general aggregate limit shall apply
separately to the Premises.

notice to Landlord. The insuring party shall deposit with such mortgage
holders as Landlord may require, policies, duplicates or certificates as
such holders may require, and shall in all cases furnish the other party
with policies, duplicates and certificates. Tenant shall not violate or
permit to be violated any of the conditions or provisions of any policy
provided for in Paragraph 8. 1, and Tenant shall so perform and satisfy the
requirements of the companies writing such policies so that at all times
companies of good standing reasonably satisfactory to Landlord shall be
willing to write and/or continue such insurance.
8.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the
other for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured
against hereunder, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether
due to the negligence of Tenant or Landlord or their agents, employees,
contractors and/or invitees. Tenant and Landlord shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance
carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is
contained in this Lease.

and against any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Premises,
or from the conduct of Tenant's business or from any activity, work or
things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or
elsewhere, and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the
performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the
terms of this Lease, or arising from any negligence of Tenant, or any of
Tenant's agents, contractors, or employees, and from and against all costs,
attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any
such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any
action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any such
claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's
expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of
the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises arising from
any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against
Landlord.
8.6 Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Tenant hereby agrees that
Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant's business or any loss of
income therefrom, or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises; nor shall Landlord be liable to the
person of Tenant, Tenant's employees, agents or contractors whether such
damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity,
gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning
or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether such damage or
injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the building of which the Premises are a part, or from other
sources or places, regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing same is inaccessible to Tenant. Landlord shall
not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other
tenant, if any, of the building or complex in which the Premises are
located.
9. Damage or Destruction.
---------------------
9.1 Partial Damage--Insured. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
9.3 and 9.4, if the Premises are damaged and such damage was caused by a
casualty covered under an insurance policy, Landlord shall, or at
Landlord's option, Tenant shall repair such damage to Landlord's
satisfaction as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect. If the insurance proceeds received by Landlord
are not sufficient to effect such repair, and Landlord elects to repair,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand any costs incurred by Landlord not
fully covered by insurance proceeds. If Tenant repairs the damage, Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for the costs of repair to the extent of insurance
proceeds received by Landlord.
9.2 Partial Damage--Uninsured. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
9.3 and 9.4, if at any time during the Term hereof the Premises are
damaged, except by a negligent or willful act of Tenant (in which event
Tenant shall make the repairs at its expense), and such damage was caused
by a casualty not covered under an insurance policy required to be
maintained pursuant to Xxxxxxxxx 0.0, Xxxxxxxx may, at Landlord's option,
either (a) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
or (b) give written notice to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the
date of the occurrence of such damage, of Landlord's intention to cancel
and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.
In the event Landlord elects to give such notice of Landlord's intention to
cancel and terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have the right within ten
(10) days after the receipt of such notice to give written notice to
Landlord of Tenant's intention to repair such damage at Tenant's expense,
without reimbursement from Landlord, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall proceed to make such
repairs as soon as reasonably possible. If Tenant does not give such notice
within such ten (10) day period, this Lease shall be canceled and
terminated as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.
9.3 Total Destruction. If at any time during the Term of this Lease
there is damage, whether or not an insured loss (including destruction
required by any authorized public authority), to the building of which the
Premises are a part to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds fifty
percent (50%) of the then replacement cost of such building as a whole,
then this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such
destruction. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was
caused by Tenant's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall
have the right to recover Landlord's damages from Tenant.
9.4 Damage Near End of Term. If the Premises are damaged during the
last year of the Term of this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option,
cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage
by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to do so within
thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
9.5 Abatement of Rent. In the event of damage described in Paragraphs
9.1 or 9.2, and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Premises, Rent
for the period during which such damage, repair or restoration continues
shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the
Premises is impaired, but only to the extent of any proceeds received by
Landlord from rental abatement insurance described in Paragraph 8. 1.
Except for the abatement of Rent, if any, Tenant shall have no claim
against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.
9.6 Waiver. Tenant and Landlord hereby waive the provisions of
California Civil Code Paragraphs 1932 (2) and 1933 (4) or any related or
successor provision of law which relate to termination of leases when the
thing leased is destroyed and agree that such event shall be governed by
the terms of this Lease.
10. Real Property Taxes.
-------------------
10.1 Payment of Taxes. Landlord shall pay and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord the real property tax, as defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to
the Premises during the Term of this Lease. All costs incurred pursuant to
this Paragraph 10.1 shall be paid pursuant to Paragraph 5.1 hereof. If
deposits collected for real property taxes as provided in Paragraph 5.1 are
not sufficient to discharge Tenant's obligations, payment of the balance
shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date by
depositing the balance with Landlord. If any such taxes paid by Tenant
shall cover any period of time after the expiration of the Term hereof,
Tenant's share of such taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover only the
period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be
in effect, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant to the extent required
within thirty (30) days following expiration of the Term. If Tenant shall
fail to pay any such taxes, Landlord shall have the right to pay the same,
in which case Tenant shall repay such amount to Landlord with Tenant's next
Rent installment, together with interest at the maximum rate then allowable
by law.
10.2 Definition of "Real Property Tax". As used herein, the term Real
Property Tax shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee,
commercial rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than
inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by
any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any
city, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary,
fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against
any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, or in the real
property of which the Premises are a part, as against Landlord's right to
rent or other income therefrom, and as against Landlord's business of
leasing the Premises. Real Property Tax shall also include any tax, fee,
levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of, partially or totally,
any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove included within the
definition of Real Property Tax or (ii) the nature of which was
hereinbefore included within the definition of Real Property Tax.
10.3 Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Tenant's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property
Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel
assessed, such proportion to be determined by Landlord from the respective
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information
as may be reasonably available. Landlord's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.
10.4 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or
elsewhere. When possible, Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures,
furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and
billed separately from the real property of Landlord.
11. Utilities.
---------
Tenant shall pay for heat, water, gas, electricity, and any other
utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with taxes
thereon. Tenant shall be responsible for any installation or hook-up
charge. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for interruption in or

curtailment constitute a constructive eviction or grounds for rental
abatement. If any such services are not separately metered to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be determined by Landlord, of
all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
-------------------------
12.1 Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the
Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or sublet, provided the
proposed assignee or subtenant is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to
credit and will occupy and use the Premises for the same purposes specified
in Paragraph 1. Any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance
or subletting without such consent shall constitute a breach of this Lease
and be voidable at Landlord's election. Tenant shall pay to Landlord one
thousand dollars ($1000) as compensation for expenses in connection with
any request by Tenant for Landlord's consent.
12.2 No Release of Tenant. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation, or
alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of
Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver
by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or
subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or
subletting.
12.3 Recapture of Premises. In connection with any proposed assignment
or sublease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing (a) the name of the
proposed assignee or subtenant, (b) such information as to its financial
responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably require, and (c) all
of the terms and conditions upon which the proposed assignment or
subletting is to be made. Landlord shall have an option to cancel and
terminate this Lease with respect to all, or such portion, of the Premises
which is to be assigned or sublet. Landlord may exercise said option in
writing within thirty (30) days after its receipt from Tenant of such
request to assign or sublease the Premises. If Landlord shall exercise its
option, Tenant shall surrender possession of the entire Premises, or the
portion thereof which is the subject of the option. If this Lease is
canceled as to a portion of the Premises only, the Rent after the date of
cancellation shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the
canceled portion bears to the total floor area of the Premises.
12.4 Excess Sublease Rental. If, on account of or in connection with
any assignment or sublease, Tenant receives rent or other consideration in
excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or in the case of the sublease of
a portion of the Premises, in excess of the pro rata Rent based on the
floor area of such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure all
other payments called for hereunder are appropriately taken into account,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the excess of such
payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after
its receipt, after deducting reasonable expenses incurred in connection
therewith, including attorney's fees, brokerage commissions and the cost of
any improvements to be paid for by Tenant.
13. Defaults; Remedies.
------------------
13.1 Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by
Tenant:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
(b) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written
notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
(c) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Tenant, other than described in Paragraph 13.1 (b), where such failure
shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of
Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if
Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i) The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment
for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt 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, where possession is not
restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
(e) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given to
Landlord by Tenant, any assignee of Tenant, any subtenant of Tenant, any
successor in interest or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder
was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach by
Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or
demand, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or
remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, in which
case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason
of Tenant's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and
any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount which the unpaid Rent
for the balance of the Term after the time of such award exceeds the amount
of such rental loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided; and that portion of the leasing commission paid by
Landlord applicable to the unexpired Term of this Lease. Unpaid
installments of Rent or other sums shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.
(b) Maintain Tenant's right to possession in which case this Lease
shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the
Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of
Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
recover the Rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord
under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.
13.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless
Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty
(30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord, and to the holder of
any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address
shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying
wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided however,
that if the nature of Landlord'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 10 days of written notice
of default and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder 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, and late charges which may
be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering
the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due
from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within
five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement
for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to
six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord
will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late
charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. Condemnation.
------------
If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of
eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all
of which are herein called "Condemnation''), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the
floor area of the building or the Premises, or more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the land area of the Premises which is not occupied by any
building, is taken by Condemnation; then Tenant may, at Tenant's option to
be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after Landlord shall have
given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such
notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession), terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Rent
shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area taken bears to the
total floor area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction in
Rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have a
building located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of
the Premises under the power of eminent domain, or any payment made under
threat of the exercise of such power, shall be the property of Landlord,
whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of
the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages;
provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any award for loss or
damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and removable personal property. In the
event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such Condemnation,
Landlord shall, to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in
connection with such Condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused
by such Condemnation, except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess
of such severance damages required to complete such repair.
15. Examination of Lease.
--------------------
Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant
does not constitute a reservation of, or option to, lease. This instrument
is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by
Landlord and Tenant.
16. Estoppel Certificate.
--------------------
(a) Tenant shall, at any time during the Term, upon ten (10) days prior
written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord
a statement in writing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (i)
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or,
if modified, stating the nature of such modification, and certifying that
this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to
which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if
any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.
(b) At Landlord's option, Tenant's failure to deliver such statement,
within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, shall be a material
breach of this Lease or shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease
is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be
represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more than one month's Rent has
been paid in advance.
(c) If Landlord desires to finance, refinance or sell the Premises, or
any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees, upon ten (10) days prior written
notice, to deliver to Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may
be reasonably required by a lender or purchaser. Such statement shall
include the past three years' financial statements of Tenant. All such
financial statements shall be received by Landlord in confidence and shall
be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
17. Landlord's Liability.
--------------------
Whenever Landlord conveys its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall
be automatically released from all liability as respects the further
performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein contained provided
the assignee executes an assumption agreement agreeing to assume all of
Landlord's obligations with respect to this Lease. If requested, Tenant
shall execute a form of release and such other documentation as may be
required to further effect these provisions. Tenant agrees to look solely
to Landlord's estate and interest in the Premises for the satisfaction of
any liability, duty or obligation of Landlord in respect to this Lease, or
the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder, and no other assets of
Landlord shall be subject to any liability therefor. Tenant agrees it will
not seek, and hereby waives, any recourse against the individual partners,
directors, officers, employees or shareholders of Landlord, or any of their
personal assets, for such satisfaction.
18. Severability.
------------
The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other
provision hereof.
19. Interest On Past-Due Obligations.
--------------------------------
Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Landlord not
paid when due, shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowable by
law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure
any default by Tenant under this Lease.
20. Time of Essence.
---------------
Time is of the essence in this Lease and every provision thereof.
21. Additional Rent.
---------------
Any monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this
Lease shall be deemed to be rent.
22. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments.
---------------------------------------------
This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any
matter mentioned herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to
any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing
only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification.
23. Notices.
-------
Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal service or by certified mail, return
receipt requested. Notice by certified mail shall be deemed served on the
date of delivery as shown on the postal receipt. Either party may, by
notice to the other, specify a different address for notice purposes,
except that, upon Tenant's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises
shall constitute Tenant's address for notice purposes. A copy of all
notices to be given to Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted
by Tenant to such party or parties at such addresses as Landlord may
hereafter designate by notice to Tenant.
24. Waivers.
-------
No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver
of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the
same or any other provision. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of
Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by
Tenant or of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay
the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. Partial or
incomplete payments accepted by Landlord shall not be a waiver or
considered an accord and satisfaction of any amounts due.
25. Captions.
--------
Paragraph captions are not a part hereof.
26. Holding Over.
------------
If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the expiration of the Term without the express written consent of
Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental
equal to the Rent during the last month of the Term increased by one
hundred percent (100%) and upon all the terms hereof applicable to a
month-to-month tenancy
27. Cumulative Remedies.
-------------------
No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall,
wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in
equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions.
------------------------
Each provision of this Lease performable by any party shall be deemed
both a covenant and a condition.
29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law.
-----------------------------
Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 12 and 17, this Lease shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns and legal representatives. This Lease shall
be governed by the laws of the State of California and any litigation
between Landlord and Tenant shall be initiated in the county in which the
Premises are located.
30. Subordination.
-------------
(a) This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to any
mortgage, deed of trust or any other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part,
and to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof. Landlord's election to subordinate this Lease shall not be
effective unless the mortgagee or trustee shall execute with Tenant a
non-disturbance agreement recognizing that Tenant's right to quiet
possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed, if Tenant is not in
default, and so long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform
all the provisions of this Lease. If any mortgagee or trustee shall elect
to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage or deed of trust, and
shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed
prior to such mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated prior
or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust or the date of
recording thereof.
(b) Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Tenant's
failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand
shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder, or at Landlord's option,
Landlord shall execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably
appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place
and stead to execute such documents.
31. AS IS.
-----
Except for the express representations and warranties of Landlord
contained herein, Tenant is leasing the Premises "AS IS" without any
warranty of Landlord, express or implied, as to the nature or condition of,
or title to the Premises, or its fitness for Tenant's intended use of same.
Tenant is relying solely upon its own independent inspection, investigation
and analysis of the Premises as it deems necessary or appropriate in so
leasing the Premises from Landlord (including, without limitation, any and
all matters concerning the condition, use or suitability of the Premises).
Tenant is not relying in any way upon any representations, statements,
agreements, warranties, studies, plans, reports, descriptions, guidelines
or other information or material furnished by Landlord or its
representatives, whether oral or written, express or implied, of any nature
whatsoever regarding any of the foregoing matters.
32. Landlord's Access.
-----------------
Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times for the purpose of
inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders,
or tenants, and making such tests, alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises, or to the building of which they are a part, as
Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. Landlord may, at any time during
the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the Term hereof, place on or
about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs, all
without rebate of Rent or liability to Tenant.
33. Auctions.
--------
Tenant shall not conduct any auction without Landlord's prior written
consent.
34. Signs.
-----
Any sign placed on the Premises shall contain only Tenant's name or the
name of any affiliate of Tenant actually occupying the Premises, but no
advertising matter. No such sign shall be erected until Tenant has obtained
Landlord's written approval, of the location, materials, size, design, and
content thereof and any necessary permit therefor. Tenant shall remove any
such sign upon termination and return the Premises to their condition prior
to the placement of said sign.
35. Merger.
------
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
cancellation thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not work a merger
and shall, at the option of the Landlord, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to
Landlord of any or all of such tenancies.
36. Easements, Boundary Changes.
---------------------------
Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such
easements, rights, dedications and enact boundary and common area
configuration adjustments that Landlord deems necessary or desirable and to
cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as they do
not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant
shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Landlord and
failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant.
37. Quiet Possession.
----------------
Upon Tenant's paying the Rent, additional rent and other sums provided
hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and
provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant
shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire Term hereof,
subject to the provisions of this Lease.
38. Guarantor.
---------
It shall constitute a Default of the Tenant under this Lease if any
Guarantor fails or refuses, upon reasonable request by Landlord to give:
a) evidence of the due execution of the guaranty called for by this Lease,
including the authority of the Guarantor (and of the party signing on
Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on said guaranty, and
including in the case of a corporate Guarantor, a certified copy of a
resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making of such
guaranty, together with a certificate of incumbency showing the signature
of the persons authorized to sign on its behalf, (b) current financial
statements of Guarantor as may from time to time be requested by Landlord
or (c) written confirmation that the guaranty is still in effect.
39. Landlord's Lien.
---------------
As security for Tenant's payment of rent, damages and all other
payments required to be made pursuant to this Lease, Tenant hereby grants
Landlord a lien upon all property of Tenant now, or subsequently located
upon the Premises. If Tenant abandons or vacates any substantial portion
of the Premises, or is in default in the payment of any rental, damage or
other payments required to be made pursuant to this Lease, Landlord may
enter upon the Premises, by force if necessary, and take possession of any
or all of the personal property, and may sell all or any part of the
personal property at a public or private sale, in one successive sales,
with or without notice, to the highest bidder for cash, and, on behalf of
Tenant, sell and convey all or part of the personal property to the highest
bidder, delivering to the highest bidder all of Tenant's title and interest
in the personal property sold. The proceeds of the sale of the personal
property shall be applied by Landlord toward the cost of the sale and then
toward the payment of all sums then due by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
the terms of this Lease.
40. Uniform Commercial Code.
-----------------------
To the extent, if any, this Lease grants Landlord any lien or lien
rights greater than provided by the laws pertaining to "Landlord Liens,"
this Lease is intended as, and constitutes a security agreement within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises
are located, and, Landlord, in addition to the rights prescribed in this
Lease, shall have all of the rights, titles, liens and interests in and to
Tenant's property now or hereafter located, upon the Premises which are
granted a secured party, as that term is defined, under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises are located, to secure
the payment to Landlord of the various amounts required to be paid by
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant will, on request,
execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement for the purpose of
protecting Landlord's security interest under this Lease, or Landlord may
file this Lease or Memorandum of Lease as a security agreement.
41. Rent Increases.

42. Tenant Improvement Allowance.
----------------------------
(a) Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance (the
"Improvement Allowance") in the amount of Forty-eight Thousand Eight
hundred and no/l00 Dollars ($48,800.00) for all costs (including design,
permits and construction costs) associated with Tenant's proposed general
purpose office improvements to the Premises. Tenant's proposed
improvements shall be submitted to Landlord for approval prior to
commencement of construction which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In the event that Tenant's improvements cost more
than the Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay all additional costs.
(b) Advances of the Improvement Allowance shall not be made more than
once each month and within thirty (30) days upon which an advance is
requested provided Tenant has supplied Landlord with all materials and
information required below. The amount of each request by Tenant shall
represent the cost of that portion of the tenant improvements completed as
of the date of such request, the cost of all equipment, fixtures and
furnishings which shall be incorporated into the tenant improvements
provided such materials are suitably stored, secured and insured and other
third party design fees and city fees incurred by Tenant and related to the
construction of the tenant improvements.
As a condition to Tenant's right to receive any of the proceeds of the
Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall have furnished to Landlord:
i) a copy of the application for payment issued by the Tenant's
contractor ("Contractor"), together with Tenant's certification
that all of the tenant improvements or any portion thereof covered
by a given application for payment have been completed by the
Contractor and have not been the subject of prior applications for
payment; and
ii) receipted bills paid by Tenant to the Contractor for the
tenant improvements covered by the prior application for payment
and appropriate lien waivers from the Contractor and all
subcontractors waiving any and all lien rights which any of them
may have or acquire for work or material supplied for the tenant
improvements.
The advances from the Improvements Allowance may be paid by check made
out jointly to Tenant and the Contractor and/or subcontractors (as
applicable).
43. Early Entry.
-----------
With the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right
within fifteen (15) days prior to the Scheduled Term Commencement Date, at
its sole risk, cost and expense, to enter upon and install racks and
improvements in the Premises, and the same will not cause Rent to commence;
provided that (a) Tenant shall have paid for and provided evidence to
Landlord of all insurance required under the Lease having been secured;
(b) Tenant shall pay utility charges and other costs and expenses incurred
by Landlord which would not have been incurred except for such early entry
by Tenant, and (c) Tenant does hereby indemnify Landlord from any costs or
liabilities that may be incurred due to Tenant's early entry. Tenant shall
not use the Premises for the storage of inventory or otherwise commence the
operation of business without the express prior written consent of Landlord
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If an event
of default under the Lease occurs during the period between the date of
occupancy and the date Rent is to begin ("Early Occupancy Period"), then,
on the occurrence of such event of default, Tenant shall then be
responsible for Rent due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. By entry,
Tenant accepts Premises as being in good order, condition and repair in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease. It is further understood that
any improvement of the Premises by the Tenant without written consent of
Landlord is hereby prohibited unless otherwise permitted under the terms of
the Lease.
44. REIT Provision.
--------------
Notwithstanding anything that may be contained in this Lease to the
contrary, no provision in this Lease shall be interpreted so as to have the
effect of providing for payment of Rent, or any increment thereof, based in
whole or in part on the income, net revenues, net income, or profits
derived by the Tenant from the Premises, but may, if applicable, be
construed to provide for Rent, or any increment thereof, based in part on a
fixed percentage of gross receipts or sales or otherwise included in the
term "rents from real Property" as such term is defined in Section 856(d)
of the Internal Revenue Code. Further, no assignment of this Lease, or
sublet under this Lease, will be approved if the effect thereof shall
result in payment to the Landlord of rental based in whole or in part on
the income, net revenues, net income or profits derived by the Tenant,
Tenant's assignee or Tenant's sublessee from the Premises, but may, if
applicable, result in payment to the Landlord of rental based in part on a
fixed percentage of gross receipts or sales or otherwise included in the
term "rents from real property" as such term is defined in Section 856(d)
of the Internal Revenue Code. All documents relating to any permitted
assignment or sublet shall refer to this restriction.
45. Condition on Delivery.
---------------------
Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant clean and free of debris
on the Scheduled Term Commencement Date or such earlier date as agreed upon
by Tenant and Landlord, and Landlord warrants and represents to the Tenant

agree that this Lease shall not be recorded by either party.
47. Security Measures.
-----------------
Tenant hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to Landlord
hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide
same. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of the
Premises, Tenant, its agents and invitees and their property from the acts
of third parties.
48. Authority.
---------
If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that
he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said
entity. If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, Tenant shall,
within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, deliver evidence of
such authority satisfactory to Landlord.
49. Disclaimers On Authorship.
-------------------------
Landlord and Tenant have contributed to the final form of this Lease.
Therefore, neither Landlord or Tenant should be considered to be the author
of this Lease should authorship affect the interpretation of this Lease by
any tribunal.
50. Amendments.
----------
This lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the Landlord and
Tenant at the time of the modification. The parties shall amend this Lease
from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made to the Rent or
other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do not materially
change Tenant's obligations hereunder, Tenant agrees to make such
reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional, insurance company, or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the
property of which the Premises are a part.
51. Legal Fees.
----------
In the event of the bringing of any action or suit by a party hereto
against another party hereunder by reason of any breach of any of the
covenants or agreements or any inaccuracies in any of the representations
and warranties on the part of the other party arising out of this
Agreement, then in that event, the prevailing party in such action or
dispute, whether by final judgment, or out of court settlement shall be
entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all costs and
expenses of suit, including actual attorneys' fees.
52. Counterparts.
------------
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
53. Applicable Law.
--------------

the laws of the State of California and venue in Alameda County.
54. Fees and Other Expenses.
