Tenant or Landlord based on Landlord's statement, nor shall
any failure of Landlord to deliver Landlord's statement in a
timely manner relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay any
amounts due Landlord based on Landlord's statement.
If Tenant's Share for the year as finally determined exceeds
the total payments made by Tenant based on Landlord's
estimates, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within ten
(10) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's statement. If the
total payments made by Tenant based on Landlord's estimate of
the increases in Operating Costs and Taxes exceed Tenant's
Share of the increases, as determined by Landlord, Tenant's
excess payment shall be credited toward future payments by
Tenant of Rent or estimated increases in Operating Costs and
Taxes and if no future payments are due, payable to Tenant
within ten (10) days.
For any partial calendar year at the commencement or
termination of this Lease, Tenant's Share of any increases in
Operating Costs and Taxes over Base Operating Costs and Taxes
for such year shall be prorated on the basis of a 365-day year
by computing Tenant's Share of the increases in Operating
Costs and Taxes for the entire year and then prorating such
amount for the number of days the term of this Lease was in
effect during such year. Notwithstanding the termination of
this Lease, and within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt of
Landlord's statement regarding the determination of increases
in Operating Costs and Taxes for the calendar year in which
this Lease terminates, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or
Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as the case may be, an amount
equal to the difference between Tenant's Share (as prorated)
of the increases in Operating Costs and Taxes for such year,
as finally determined by Landlord, and the amount previously
paid by Tenant toward such increases.

Tenant (collectively Tenant's "Representatives"). Landlord shall be
under no
5
obligation to inspect the Premises. Tenant shall promptly report in
writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord
is required to repair, and failure to so report such defect shall make
Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord
by reason of such condition.
Landlord hereby reserves the right, in any time and from time to time,
without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction, to
make alterations, additions, repairs, improvements to or in or to
decrease the size of area of, all or any part of the Building, the
fixtures and equipment therein, the heating, ventilation,
air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, life safety,

whether levied directly against Tenant or levied against
Landlord or the Property.
9.2 Payment. Tenant shall pay all Tenant's Taxes before
delinquency and, at Landlord's request, shall furnish Landlord
satisfactory evidence thereof. If Tenant fails timely to pay
any Tenant's Taxes levied directly against Tenant, if any
Tenant's Taxes are levied against Landlord or the Property, or
if the assessed value of the Building is increased by the
inclusion of a value placed on Tenant's personal property,
Trade Fixtures or Alterations, Landlord may pay the portion of
Tenant's Taxes that is not paid by Tenant or that is levied or
assessed against Landlord or the Property. Landlord may pay
such Tenant's Taxes regardless of the validity of their levy
or assessment and whether or not Tenant elects to contest the
same if, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the failure
to pay such taxes will jeopardize the interest of Landlord in
the Property. If Landlord pays Tenant's Taxes or any portion
thereof, Tenant shall, immediately upon demand by Landlord,
reimburse Landlord for the amount of such payment, together
with interest at the rate specified in Section 17.2 -
"Interest" from the date of Landlord's payment to the date of

Tenant is not a continuation of service furnished during
Business Hours, Tenant shall pay for such service at such rate
for a period of two (2) hours preceding the commencement of
service.
If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the
Premises by the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning

cost of any such equipment and modifications, including the
cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and
maintenance of the same, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
upon demand.

other utility exceeds the customary office usage consumption
of such utility, Landlord may determine the amount of such
excess use by any reasonable means (including, but not limited
to, the installation at Landlord's election and expense a
separate meter or measuring device. If it is determined that
Tenant is using excessive consumption, Tenant will reimburse
Landlord the cost of the meter or measuring device and pay to
Landlord the additional charge for excessive utilities. In
addition, Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for the use
of any additional or unusual janitorial services required by
Tenant because of any unusual Suite Improvements or
Alterations, the carelessness of Tenant or the nature of
Tenant's business (including hours of operation). All sums
payable hereunder by Tenant for additional services or for
excess utility usage shall be payable within ten (10) days
after notice from Landlord of the amounts due; except that
Landlord may require Tenant to pay monthly for the estimated
cost of Tenant's excess utility usage if such usage occurs on
a regular basis, and such estimated amounts shall be payable
in advance on the first day of each month.
10.3 Interruption of Services. In the event of an interruption in,
or failure or inability to provide any of the services or
utilities described in Section 10.1 - "Description of

except as provided herein, entitle Tenant to an abatement of
Rent or to terminate this Lease.

Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of
Base Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the
portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from
using by reason of such Service Failure in the
following circumstances: (i) if Landlord fails to
commence reasonable efforts to remedy the Service
Failure within two (2) Business Days following the
occurrence of the Service Failure or fails thereafter
to pursue diligently reasonable action to remedy the
Service
7
Failure, the abatement of Rent shall commence on the
third Business Day following the Service Failure and
continue for the balance of the period during which
Tenant is so prevented from using such portion of the
Premises; and (ii) if the Service Failure in all
events is not remedied within fifteen (15) days
following the occurrence of the Service Failure and
Tenant in fact does not use such portion of the
Premises for an uninterrupted period of fifteen (15)
days or more by reason of such Service Failure, the
abatement of Rent shall commence no later than the
sixteenth day following the occurrence of the Service
Failure and continue for the balance of the period
during which Tenant is so presented from using such
portion of the Premises.
(b) If a Service Failure is caused by Tenant or its
Representatives or Visitors, Landlord shall
nonetheless remedy the Service Failure, at the
expense of Tenant, pursuant to Landlord's maintenance
and repair obligations under Section 7 - "Maintenance
and Repair" or Section 13.1 - "Landlord's Duty to
Repair" as the case may be, but Tenant shall not be
entitled to an abatement of Rent or to terminate this
Lease as a result of any such Service Failure.
(c) Notwithstanding Tenant's entitlement to Rent
abatement under the preceding provisions, Tenant
shall continue to pay Tenant's then current Rent
until such time as Landlord and Tenant agree on the
amount of the Rent abatement. If Landlord and Tenant
are unable to agree on the amount of such abatement
within ten (10) Business Days of the date they
commence negotiations regarding the abatement, then
either party may submit the matter to binding
arbitration pursuant to Sections 1280 et seg. of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.

a Service Failure not caused by Tenant or its
Representatives or Visitors and such Service Failure
prevents Tenant from conducting its business in the
Premises in the manner in which Tenant intends to
conduct such business, and (i) Landlord fails to
commence reasonable efforts to remedy the Service
Failure within two (2) days following the occurrence
of the Service Failure, or (ii) the Service Failure
in all events is not remedied within one-hundred
eighty (180) days following its occurrence and Tenant
in fact does not conduct any business in the Premises
for an uninterrupted period of one-hundred eighty
(180) days or more, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by written notice delivered to
Landlord within ten (10) Business Days following the
event described in clauses (i) or (ii) above giving
rise to the right to terminate.
(e) Where the cause of a Service Failure is within the
control of a public utility or other public or
quasi-public entity outside Landlord's control,
notification to such utility or entity of the Service
Failure and request to remedy the failure shall
constitute "reasonable efforts" by Landlord to remedy
the Service Failure.
(f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California
Civil Code Section 1932(l) or any other applicable
existing or future law, ordinance or governmental
regulation permitting the termination of this Lease

conservation of energy or utilities or the reduction of
automobile or other emissions (collectively "Controls") or in
the event Landlord is required or elects to make alterations
to the Property in order to comply with such mandatory or
voluntary Controls, Landlord may, in its sole discretion,
comply with such Controls or make such alterations to the
Property related thereto. Such compliance and the making of
such alterations shall not constitute an eviction of

claims relating to such damage, except that Landlord shall indemnify
and hold Tenant harmless from and against any claims, liability,

replacement of the Alterations and Trade Fixtures so insured.
Landlord shall have no interest in such insurance and shall

Landlord prior to any termination or alteration of the policy.
Each policy of liability insurance shall name Landlord, its

premiums for insurance maintained by Landlord pursuant to this
Section 12.2 on Tenant's Alterations.

either party with respect to the Premises or the Property or
any operation therein. If any policy of insurance relating to
this Lease or to the Premises or the Property does not permit
the foregoing waiver or if the coverage under any such policy
would be invalidated as a result of such waiver, the party
maintaining such policy shall, if possible, obtain from the
insurer under such policy a waiver of all right of recovery by
way of subrogation against either party in connection with any
claim, loss or damage covered by such policy. If either party
is not able to obtain such waiver, then such party shall have
the other party named as an additional insured on all such
policies of insurance.

elect to terminate this Lease at any time up to thirty (30)
days after to the Date of Condemnation. If Landlord so
terminates this Lease, the termination shall be effective as
of the Date of Condemnation. If all or a portion of the
Premises is taken by a temporary Condemnation, this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect.
14.3 Restoration. If this Lease is not terminated as provided in
Section 14.2 - "Condemnation" following a Condemnation,
Landlord, at its expense, shall diligently proceed to repair
and restore the Premises to substantially its former condition
(to the extent permitted by the then applicable codes, laws
and regulations) and/or repair and restore the Building to an
architecturally complete office building; provided, however,
that Landlord's obligations to so repair and restore shall be
limited to the amount of any Award received by Landlord and
not required to be paid to any lender holding a mortgage or
deed of trust on the Property. In no event shall Landlord have
any obligation to repair or replace any Suite Improvements
beyond the amount of any Award received by Landlord for such
repair or replacement or any of Tenant's personal property,
Trade Fixtures, or Alterations.
14.4 Abatement and Reduction of Rent. If any portion of the
Premises is permanently taken in a Condemnation or is rendered
permanently untenantable by repairs necessitated by the
Condemnation, and this Lease is not terminated, the Base Rent
and Additional Rent payable under this Lease shall be
proportionally reduced as of the Date of Condemnation based
upon the percentage of rentable square feet in the Premises so
taken or rendered permanently untenantable. In addition, if
this Lease remains in effect following a permanent
Condemnation and Landlord proceeds to repair and restore the
Premises, the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under this
Lease shall be abated during the period of such repair or
restoration to the extent such repairs prevent Tenant's use of
the Premises.
12
14.5 Awards. Any Award made shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord, and waives all interest in or
claim to, any such award, including any claim for the value of
the unexpired term of this Lease; provided, however, that
Tenant shall be entitled to receive, or to prosecute a
separate claim for, an Award for a temporary Condemnation
where this Lease is not terminated, or an Award or portion
thereof separately designated for relocation expenses or the
interruption of or damage to Tenant's business or as
compensation for Tenant's personal property, Trade Fixtures or
Alterations.
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive the provisions of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and any
other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or
governmental regulation providing for, or allowing either
party to petition the courts of the state in which the
Property is located for, a termination of this Lease upon a
partial taking of the Premises and/or the Property.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
15.1 Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign,
transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease
or any interest therein (each a "Transfer"), and shall not
sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior
written consent of Landlord and any attempt to do so without
such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void
and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.
15.2 Reasonable Consent.
(a) If Tenant complies with the following conditions,
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to the subletting of the Premises or any portion
thereof or the assignment of this Lease. Tenant shall
submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name and legal
composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee;
(ii) the nature of the business proposed to be
carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and
provisions of the proposed sublease; (iv) such
reasonable financial information as Landlord may
request concerning the proposed subtenant or
assignee; and (v) the form of the proposed sublease
or assignment. Within five (5) business days after
Landlord receives all such information it shall
notify Tenant whether it approves such assignment or
subletting or if it elects to proceed under Section
15.8 below.
(b) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, among
other circumstances for which Landlord could
reasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or
assignment, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to
withhold its consent where (i) Landlord reasonably
disapproves of the Transferee's reputation or credit
worthiness or the character of the business to be
conducted by the Transferee at the Premises, (ii) the
Transferee is an existing tenant of the Building,
(iii) the assignment or subletting would increase the
burden on the Building services or the number of
people occupying the Premises, (iv) Landlord
otherwise reasonably determines that the assignment
or sublease would have the effect of decreasing the
value of the Property or increasing the expenses
associated with operating the Property.
15.3 Excess Consideration. If Landlord consents to the assignment
or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive as
additional Rent hereunder any consideration paid by the
Transferee for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of
a sublease, the excess of the rent and other consideration
payable by the subtenant over the amount of Base Rent and
Additional Rent payable hereunder applicable to the subleased
space.
15.4 No Release Of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any assignment
or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation
to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring
before or after such consent, assignment or subletting, and
the Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with
Tenant for the payment of
13
Rent (or that portion applicable to the subleased space in the
case of a sublease) and for the performance of all other terms
and provisions of the Lease. The consent by Landlord to any
assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant and any such
Transferee from the obligation to obtain Landlord's express
written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall
not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of
this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or
other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other
transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any
subsequent assignment, subletting or other transfer.
15.5 Attorneys' Fees. Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with reviewing any
proposed assignment or sublease.
15.6 Effectiveness Of Transfer. No permitted assignment (whether or
not requiring Landlord's consent) shall be effective until
Landlord has received a counterpart of the assignment and an
instrument in recordable form executed by the assignee in
which the assignee assumes all of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease arising on or after the date of assignment. No
permitted subletting (whether or not requiring Landlord's
consent) by Tenant shall be effective until there has been
delivered to Landlord a counterpart of the sublease and an
instrument in recordable form executed by the subtenant in
which the subtenant agrees to be and remain jointly and
severally liable with Tenant for the payment of Rent and for
the performance of all of the terms and provisions of this
Lease; provided, however, that the subtenant shall be liable
to Landlord for Rent only in the amount set forth in the
sublease. The failure or refusal of an assignee or subtenant
to execute any such instrument shall not release or discharge
the assignee or subtenant from its liability set forth above.
The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall
not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation
shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any
existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of
any or all of such subleases.
15.7 Landlord's Right To Space. Notwithstanding any of the above
provisions of this Section 15 to the contrary, if Tenant
notifies Landlord that it desires to assign this Lease or
sublet all or any part of the Premises, Landlord, in lieu of
consenting to such assignment or sublease, may elect to
terminate this Lease (in the case of an assignment or a
sublease of the entire Premises), or to terminate this Lease
as it relates to the space proposed to be subleased by Tenant
(in the case of a sublease of less than the entire Premises).
In such event, this Lease (or portion thereof) will terminate
on the date the assignment or sublease was to be effective,
and Landlord may lease such space to any party, including the
prospective Transferee identified by Tenant.
15.8 Transfer to Affiliate. Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet
the Premises or any portion thereof, without Landlord's
consent, to any corporation or other entity which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, or to
any corporation or other entity resulting from a merger or
consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which
acquires substantially all the assets of Tenant as a going
concern (collectively, an "Affiliate"), provided that the
Affiliate assumes in writing all of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease.
15.9 Involuntary Assignment. In the event that Landlord consents,
pursuant to Section 365 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, to any
assumption, assignment or sublease ("transfer") of the rights
or interest of Tenant under this Lease, "adequate assurance of
future performance" of this Lease by the transferee shall
include, but not be limited to, establishment by the
transferee of an impound account into which the transferee
shall deposit, subject to withdrawal solely by Landlord from
time to time as the same becomes due, an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of all Rent which shall become due under this
Lease during the remainder of the term of this Lease.
14
16. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
16.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant:
(a) Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent within ten
(10) days of when due and such failure is not cured
within three (3) days after notice to Tenant thereof.
(b) Within ten (10) days after written notice, Tenant

times during any twelve (12) month period during the

(c) Within ten (10) days after written notice, Tenant
abandons the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive

- "Estoppel Certificates".
(e) Within ten (10) days after written notice, Tenant

an answer admitting the material allegations of such
petition) seeking relief under any reorganization,

liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement or
proceeding under any state or federal bankruptcy or
other statute, law or regulation, or Tenant consents
to or acquiesces in the appointment, pursuant to any
state or federal bankruptcy or other statute, law or
regulation, of a trustee, receiver or liquidator for
the Premises, for Tenant or for all or any
substantial part of Tenant's assets.
(g) Tenant fails, within ninety (90) days after the
commencement of any proceedings against Tenant
seeking relief under any reorganization, arrangement,
consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar arrangement or proceeding under any state
or federal bankruptcy or other statute, law or
regulation, to have such proceedings dismissed or
stayed, or Tenant fails, within ninety (90) days
after an appointment pursuant to any state or federal
bankruptcy or other statute, law or regulation,
without Tenant's consent or acquiescence, of any
trustee, receiver or liquidator for the Premises, for
Tenant or for all or any substantial part of Tenant's
assets, to have such appointment vacated.
(h) Tenant fails to- perform or comply with any provision
of this Lease other than those described in (a)
through (g) above, and such failure is not cured
within fifteen (15) days after notice to Tenant or,
if such failure cannot be cured within such fifteen
(15)-day period, Tenant fails within such fifteen
(15)-day period to commence, and thereafter
diligently proceed with, all actions necessary to
cure such failure as soon as reasonably possible but
in all events within ninety (90) days of such notice.
16.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Landlord
shall have the following remedies, which shall not be
exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
any other remedies now or hereafter allowed by law:
15
(a) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises at any time by written notice to
Tenant. Tenant expressly acknowledges that in the
absence of such written notice from Landlord, no
other act of Landlord, including, but not limited to,
its re-entry into the Premises, efforts to relet the
Premises, its reletting of the Premises for Tenant's
account, its storage of Tenant's personal property
and Trade Fixtures, its acceptance of keys to the
Premises from Tenant or its exercise of any other
rights and remedies under this Section 16.2, shall
constitute an acceptance of ------------ - Tenant's
surrender of the Premises or of Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises.
Upon such termination in writing of Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises, as herein provided, this
Lease shall terminate and Landlord shall be entitled
to recover damages from Tenant as provided in
California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or any other
applicable existing or future law, ordinance or
regulation providing for recovery of damages for such
breach, including but not limited to the following:
(1) The reasonable cost of recovering the
Premises; plus,
(2) All unpaid Rent due or earned hereunder
prior to the date of termination, less the
proceeds of any reletting or any rental
received from subtenants prior to the date
of termination applied as provided in
subsection (b) below, together with interest
at the rate specified in Section 17.2 -
"Interest" of this Lease, on such sums from
the date such Rent is due and payable until
the date of the award of damages; plus,
(3) The amount by which the Rent which would be
payable by Tenant hereunder, including
Tenant's Share of increases in Operating
Costs and Taxes, as reasonably estimated by
Landlord, from the date of termination until
the date of the award of damages exceeds the
amount of such rental loss as Tenant proves
could have been reasonably avoided together
with interest at the rate specified in
Section 17.2 - "Interest" on such sums from
the date such Rent is due and payable until
the date of the award of damages; plus,
(4) The amount by which the Rent which would be
payable by Tenant hereunder, including
Tenant's Share of increases in Operating
Costs and Taxes, as reasonably estimated by
Landlord. for the remainder of the then
term, after the date of the award of damages
exceeds the amount of such rental loss as
Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided, discounted at the discount rate
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco for member banks at the time of
the award plus one percent (1%); plus,
(5) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu
of the foregoing as may be permitted from
time to time by applicable law.
(b) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and
effect and may enforce all its rights and remedies
under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the
right to recover Rent as it becomes due. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord may
enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and
sublet all or any part of the Premises for Tenant's
account to any person, for such term (which may be a
period beyond the remaining term of this Lease), at
such rents and on such other terms and conditions as
Landlord deems advisable. In the event of any such
subletting, rents received by Landlord from such
subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment
of the costs of maintaining, preserving, altering and
preparing the Premises for subletting and other costs
of subletting, including but not limited to brokers'
commissions, attorneys' fees and expenses of removal
of Tenant's personal
16
property, Trade Fixtures, alterations and Suite
Improvements: (ii) second, to the payment of Rent
then due and payable: and (iii) third, the balance,
if any, shall be paid to Tenant upon (but not before)
expiration of the term of this Lease. If the rents
received by Landlord from such subletting, after
application as provided above, are insufficient in
any month to pay the Rent due and payable hereunder
for such month, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to
Landlord monthly upon demand. Notwithstanding any
such subletting for Tenant's account without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, by
written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this
Lease by virtue of a previous Event of Default.
During the continuance of an Event of Default, for so
long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises and subject to Section 15
"Assignment and Subletting" and the options granted
to Landlord thereunder, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or
sublease of Tenant's interest in the Premises or in
this Lease.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default,
Landlord may enter the Premises without terminating
this Lease and remove all Tenant's personal property,
Alterations and Trade Fixtures from the Premises. If
Landlord removes such property from the Premises and
stores it at Tenant's risk and expense, and if Tenant
fails to pay the cost of such removal and storage
after written demand therefor and/or to pay any Rent
then due, after the property has been stored for a
period of thirty (30) days or more Landlord may sell
such property at public or private sale, in the
manner and at such times and places as Landlord in
sole discretion deems commercially reasonable
following reasonable notice to Tenant of the time and
place of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale
shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses
for removal and storage of the property, preparation
for and conducting such sale, and attorneys' fees and
other legal expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith, and the balance shall be
applied as provided in subsection (b) above.
Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may
be caused by Landlord's reentering and taking
possession of the Premises or removing and storing
Tenant's personal property pursuant to this Section,
and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and
against any loss, cost or damage resulting from any
such act. No reentry by Landlord shall constitute or
be construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.
(d) Landlord may require Tenant to remove any and all
Suite Improvements from the Premises or, if Tenant
fails to do so within ten (10) days after Landlord's
request, Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense.
(e) See page 17A, Sections 16.3 and 16.4.
17. LATE CHARGE; INTEREST.
17.1 Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any
Rent due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur expenses not
contemplated by this Lease and that the exact amount of such
expenses would be extremely difficult and impracticable to
fix. Such expenses include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, late charges that may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by
the Property and the loss of the use of delinquent Rent.
Therefore, if any payment of Rent is not received by Landlord
within ten (10) days of when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
on demand as a late charge an additional amount equal to four
percent (4%) of the overdue sum, which amount represents a
fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will
incur by reason of late payment. Acceptance of any late charge
shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with
17
respect to the overdue sum or prevent Landlord from exercising
any of its other rights and remedies under this Lease.
17.2 Interest. In addition to the late charges referred to above,
which are intended to defray Landlord's costs resulting from
late payments, any late payment of Rent shall, at Landlord's
option, bear interest from the due date of any such payment to
the date same is paid at a eighteen percent (18%) per annum or
the maximum lawful rate that Landlord may charge to Tenant
under applicable laws, whichever is less.
18
16.3 Landlord Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the
following shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant:
(a) Landlord fails to perform or comply with any
provision of this Lease and such failure, where no
cure or grace period is otherwise provided, is not
cured within fifteen (15) days after notice to
Landlord or, if such failure where no cure or grace
period is otherwise provided, cannot be cured within
such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord fails within
such fifteen (15) day period to commence, and
thereafter diligently proceed with, all actions
necessary to cure such failure as soon as reasonably
possible but in all events within ninety (90) days of
such notice.
16.4 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant
shall have the following remedies, which shall not be
exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
any other remedies now or thereafter allowed by law:
(a) Tenant may terminate this Lease and Tenant's
obligations hereunder.
Upon such termination in writing of this Lease by
Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall
be entitled to recover damages from Landlord as
provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or
any other applicable existing or future law,
ordinance or regulation providing for recovery of
damages for such breach, including but not limited to
the following:
(1) All Rent paid for periods subsequent to the
termination of this Lease, plus,
(2) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu
of the foregoing as may be permitted from
time to time by applicable law.
(b) Tenant may continue this Lease in full force and
effect and may enforce all its rights and remedies
under this Lease.
(c) Tenant may cure the Event of Default at Landlord's
expense. If Tenant pays any sum or incurs any expense
in curing the Event of Default, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant upon demand for the amount of such
payment or expense with interest at the rate
specified in Section 17.2 - "Interest" from the date
the sum is paid or the expense is incurred until
Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord.
18. WAIVER. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord
unless such waiver is in a writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by
Landlord of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be
deemed a waiver of such provision or of any subsequent breach of the
same or any other provision of this Lease. No delay or omission in the
exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant
shall impair such night or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Landlord's acceptance of any payments of Rent due under this Lease
shall not be deemed a waiver of any default by Tenant under this Lease
(including Tenant's recurrent failure to timely pay Rent) other than
Tenant's nonpayment of the accepted sums, and no endorsement or
statement on any check or accompanying any check or payment shall be
deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord's consent to or approval of
any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval
of any subsequent act by Tenant.
19. ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Upon reasonable verbal or written notice to
Tenant (except where in Landlord's judgment the existence of an
emergency necessitates an immediate entry into the Premises without
notice to avoid damage, loss or injury to persons or property or any
part of the Property), Landlord and its authorized representatives may
enter the Premises at all reasonable times to determine whether the
Premises are in good condition, to
19
determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this
Lease, to perform any maintenance or repair of the Premises or the
Property that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform, to
install or repair improvements for other tenants that require access to
the Premises for such installation or repair, to serve, post or keep
posted any notices required or allowed under the provisions of this
Lease, to show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers,
transferees, mortgagees or tenants, or to do any other act or thing
necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the
Property. In the event Tenant is in default of the Lease, or during the
last six (6) months of the term of the Lease, Landlord or its agents
may show the premises to prospective new tenants.
Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, loss
of business or other damage to Tenant or other persons arising out of
Landlord's entry on the Premises as provided in this Section. Landlord
shall conduct activities under this Section in a manner that will
minimize inconvenience to Tenant without incurring additional expense
to Landlord. When reasonably necessary Landlord may temporarily close
entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities in the
Property without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure and
without such action being construed as an eviction of Tenant or a
release of Tenant from its obligations under this Lease so long as
parking, access and use of the Premises are not interfered with
unreasonably. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to an abatement of
rent on account of any entry by the Landlord.
20. SURRENDER, HOLDING OVER.
20.1 Surrender. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall surrender the Premises and all Suite Improvements
and Alterations to Landlord broom-clean and in their original
condition, except for reasonable wear and tear, damage from
casualty or condemnation and any changes resulting from
approved alterations; provided, however, that prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease Tenant shall remove
from the Premises all Tenant's personal property.; or Trade
Fixtures, Alterations and Suite Improvements that Tenant has
the right or is required by Landlord to remove under the
provisions of this Lease. If such removal is not completed at
the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may
remove the same at Tenant's expense. Any damage to the
Premises or the Building caused by such removal shall be
repaired promptly by Tenant or, if Tenant fails to do so,
Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense. Tenant's obligations
under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Lease. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease or
of Tenant's possession, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the
Premises or any other part of the Building and shall make
known to landlord the combination of locks on all safes,
cabinets and vaults that may be located in the Premises.
20.2 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant's
continued possession shall be on the basis of a tenancy at the
sufferance of Landlord, and Tenant shall continue to comply
with or perform all the terms and obligations of the Tenant
under this Lease, except that the Base Rent during Tenant's
holding over shall be at 150% of the Base Rent payable in the
last month prior to the termination hereof. Tenant shall
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all
claims, liability, damages, costs or expenses, including
reasonable attorneys fees and costs of defending the same,
incurred by Landlord and arising directly or indirectly from
Tenant's failure to timely surrender the Premises, including
(i) any rent payable by or any loss, cost, or damages,
including lost profits, claimed by any prospective tenant of
the Premises, and (ii) Landlord's damages as a result of such
prospective tenant rescinding or refusing to enter into the
prospective lease of the Premises by reason of such failure to
timely surrender the Premises.
21. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE. This Lease is expressly
made subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground
lease, underlying lease or like encumbrance recorded affecting any part
of the Property or any interest of Landlord therein which is now
existing or hereafter executed or recorded ("Encumbrance"), and any
memorandum of this Lease, whether or not recorded in the public records
of the county in
20
which the Property is located, shall so state; provided, however, that
such subordination shall only be effective, as to future Encumbrances,
if the holder of the Encumbrance agrees that this Lease shall survive
the termination of the Encumbrance by lapse of time, foreclosure or
otherwise so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
Provided the conditions of the preceding sentence are satisfied, Tenant
covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon request by Landlord
and in a form reasonably requested by Landlord, any additional
documents evidencing the subordination of this Lease with respect to
any such Encumbrance and the non-disturbance agreement of the holder of
any such Encumbrance. If the interest of Landlord in the Property is
transferred to any person ( "Purchaser") pursuant to or in lieu of
proceedings for enforcement of any Encumbrance, Tenant shall
immediately and automatically attorn to the Purchaser, and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the
Purchaser and Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Lease.
22. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. Tenant agrees to give any holder of any
Encumbrance covering any part of the Property ("Mortgagee"), by
registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the
Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified
in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or
otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee. If Landlord shall have
failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days from the effective
date of such notice of default, then the Mortgagee shall have an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if
such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional
time as may be necessary to cure such default (including the time
necessary to foreclose or otherwise terminate its Encumbrance, if
necessary to effect such cure), and this Lease shall not be terminated
so long as such remedies are being diligently pursued.
23. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Upon ten (10) days' notice from Landlord, Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in form provided by or
satisfactory to Landlord, a certificate stating that this Lease is in
full force and effect, describing any amendments or modifications
hereto, acknowledging that this Lease is subordinate or prior, as the
case may be, to any Encumbrance and stating any other information
Landlord may reasonably request, including the term of this Lease, the
monthly Base Rent, the date to which Rent has been paid, the amount of
any security deposit or prepaid Rent, whether either party hereto is in
default under the terms of the Lease, whether Landlord has completed
its construction obligation hereunder and any other information
reasonably requested by Landlord. Any person or entity purchasing,
acquiring an interest in or extending financing with respect to the
Property shall be entitled to rely upon any such certificate. Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for any damages incurred by Landlord
including any profits or other benefits from any financing of the
Property or any interest therein which are lost or made unavailable as
a result, directly or indirectly, of Tenant's failure or refusal to
timely execute or deliver such estoppel certificates.
24. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or
communication that either party desires or is required to give to the
other party under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be served
personally, delivered by independent messenger or courier service, or
sent by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at the address set forth
below:

Subletting", notices from Landlord shall be effective on the subtenant
when given to Tenant pursuant to this Section. ,
Notices delivered personally will be effective immediately upon
delivery to an authorized representative of the party at the designated

resubmit them to Tenant for its approval and Landlord will
provide Tenant with a revised cost estimate. Tenant shall
approve or disapprove the same within three (3) days after
receipt. The revised Construction Documents and cost estimate,
as approved by Tenant, are hereinafter referred to as the

respectively.

furnishing and decoration of the Premises, such as the
selection of fixtures, furnishings or design of mill work,

Upon approval by Tenant of the Final Construction Documents
and the Final Cost Estimate, Landlord shall proceed with
reasonable diligence to cause the Tenant Improvements to be
Substantially Complete. The Tenant Improvements shall be
deemed to be "Substantially Completed" when they have been
completed in accordance with the Final Construction Documents,
except for finishing details, minor omissions, decorations and
mechanical adjustments of the type normally found on an

items or materials constituting part of the Tenant
Improvements requested by Tenant that are not part of the
