NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual

and conditions herein contained. Sublessor and Sublessee
acknowledge and agree that such Alterations are all alterations
that have been installed on the Premises by Sublessor at
Sublessor's sole expense and that such Alterations shall be used

Sublease. Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is a list of the amounts
spent by Sublessor in connection with such Alterations. As used

shall not interfere with Sublessor's construction or repair
activities on the Premises or cause labor difficulties; (b)
Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with satisfactory evidence that

the Premises except on an "as is" basis and acknowledges that
Sublessor has made no representations of any kind in connection
with improvements or physical conditions on, or bearing on, the

shall be required to perform any work of construction, alteration
or maintenance of or to the Premises; provided, however,
Sublessor shall deliver the Premises to Sublessee in broom clean
condition.
b. Further Inspection. Sublessee represents and
warrants to Sublessor that as of the Effective Date Sublessee
shall examine and inspect all matters with respect to taxes,
income and expense data, insurance costs, bonds, permissible
uses, the Master Lease, zoning, covenants, conditions and
restrictions and all other matters which in Xxxxxxxxx's judgment
bear upon the value and suitability of the Premises for
Sublessee's purposes. Sublessee has and will rely solely on
Sublessee's own inspection and examination of such items and not
on any representations of Sublessor, express or implied.

in the Master Lease except as excluded in Section 3.b herein.
Sublessee shall be subject to, bound by and comply with all of
said Sections of the Master Lease with respect to the Premises
and shall satisfy all applicable terms and conditions of the
Master Lease relating to the Premises for the benefit of both
Sublessor and Landlord, it being understood and agreed that
wherever in the Master Lease the word "Tenant" appears, for the
purposes of this Sublease, the word "Sublessee" shall be substi-
tuted, and wherever the word "Landlord" appears, for the purposes
of this Sublease, the word "Sublessor" shall be substituted; and
that upon the breach of any of said terms, conditions or cove-
nants of the Master Lease by Sublessee or upon the failure of
Sublessee to pay Rent or comply with any of the provisions of
this Sublease, Sublessor may exercise any and all rights and
remedies granted to Landlord by the Master Xxxxx. In the event
of any conflict between this Sublease and the Master Lease, the
terms of this Sublease shall control between Sublessor and
Sublessee. It is further understood and agreed that Sublessor
has no duty or obligation to Sublessee under the aforesaid
Sections of the Master Lease other than to perform the
obligations of Sublessor as lessee under the Master Lease during
the Term of this Sublease. Whenever the provisions of the Master
Lease incorporated as provisions of this Sublease require the
written consent of Landlord, said provisions shall be construed
to require the written consent of both Landlord and Sublessor.
Sublessee hereby acknowledges that it has read and is familiar
with all the terms of the Master Xxxxx, and agrees that this
Sublease is subordinate and subject to the Master Lease and that
any termination thereof not due to a default by Sublessor
thereunder shall likewise terminate this Sublease.

for in the provisions of the Master Lease for the giving of
notice, making of demands, performance of any act, condition or
covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, are
amended for the purposes of this Sublease by lengthening or
shortening the same in each instance by five (5) days, as
appropriate, so that notices may be given, demands made, or any
act, condition or covenant performed, or any right, remedy or
option hereunder exercised, by Sublessor or Sublessee, as the
case may be, within the time limit relating thereto contained in
the Master Lease. If the Master Lease allows only five (5) days
or less for Sublessor to perform any act, or to undertake to
perform such act, or to correct any failure relating to the
Premises or this Sublease, then Sublessee shall nevertheless be
allowed three (3) days to perform such act, undertake such act
and/or correct such failure.
4. Landlord's Obliqations. It shall be the
obligation of Landlord to (i) provide all services to be provided
by Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease and (ii) to
satisfy all obligations and covenants of Landlord made in the
Master Lease. Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessor shall be
under no obligation to provide any such services or satisfy any
such obligations or covenants; provided, however, Sublessor, upon
written notice by Sublessee, shall diligently attempt to enforce
all obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease.
5. Rent.
a. Base Rent. Upon execution hereof, Sublessee
shall deliver a portion of the Early Occupancy Fee equal to
Seventy-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Four and 40/100
Dollars ($78,934.40). Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the Base
Rent in advance on the first day of each month of the Term,
commencing on the first day of the second month of the Term of
this Lease without being invoiced by Sublessor. In the event the
first day of the Term shall not be the first day of a calendar
month or the last day of the Term is not the last day of the
calendar month, the Base Rent shall be appropriately prorated
based on a thirty (30) day month. All installments of Base Rent
shall be delivered to Sublessor's Address, or at such other place
as may be designated in writing from time to time by Sublessor,
in lawful money of the United States and without deduction or
offset for any cause whatsoever.
b. Net Rental. As of the Commencement Date,
Sublessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of
every kind and nature which may be imposed, at any time, on
Sublessor pursuant to the Master Lease (except for Base Rent,
defined in the Master Lease) including, but not limited to,
additional rent, operating costs, and tax costs, all as required
by the Master Lease. In addition, Sublessee shall pay Sublessor
the portion of the Early Occupancy Fee equal to the Additional
Rent for the month of December, 1998, as and when that Additional
Rent is requested by Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease. As
hereinafter used, "Rent" shall include Base Rent and a11
additional charges to be paid by Sublessee pursuant to this
Section 5.b.
c. Late Payment Charges and Interest. Any
payment of Rent or other amount from Sublessee to Sublessor in
this Sublease which is not paid within three (3) days of written
notice from Sublessor that such amount is past due shall accrue
interest from the date due until the date paid at an annual rate
equal to the prime rate of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, plus 2% (the
"Interest Rate"). If any installment of Rent is not paid within
three (3) days of written notice from Sublessor that such amount
is past due, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor a late payment
charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such
delinquent payment of Rent, in addition to the installment of
Rent then owing. This Section 5 shall not relieve Sublessee of
Sublessee's obligation to pay any amount owing hereunder at the
time and in the manner provided.
6. Security Deposit. Upon execution hereof,
Sublessee shall deposit the Security Deposit with Sublessor. The
Security Deposit shall secure Sublessee's obligations under this
Sublease to pay Base Rent and other monetary amounts, to maintain
the Premises and repair damages thereto, to surrender the
Premises to Sublessor in clean condition and repair upon
termination of this Sublease and to discharge Sublessee's other
obligations hereunder. Sublessor may use and commingle the
Security Deposit with other funds of Sublessor. If Sublessee
fails to perform Sublessee's obligations hereunder, Sublessor
may, but without any obligation to do so, apply all or any
portion of the Security Deposit towards fulfillment of
Sublessee's unperformed obligations. If Sublessor does so apply
any portion of the Security Deposit, Xxxxxxxxx's failure to remit
to Sublessor a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security
Deposit to the original amount within five (5) days after receipt
of Xxxxxxxxx's written demand to do so (together with a written
statement in reasonable detail of the reason for the application
of all or a portion of the Security Deposit) shall constitute an
event of default. Upon termination of this Sublease, if
Sublessee has then performed all of Sublessee's obligations
hereunder, Sublessor shall return the Security Deposit, or
whatever amount remains of the Security Deposit after Sublessor
applied all or a portion of the Security Deposit to perform
Sublessee's obligations hereunder, to Sublessee without payment
of interest within thirty (30) days after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Sublease.
7. Use: The Premises is to be used for the Permitted
Uses, and for no other purpose or business without the prior
written consent of Sublessor. In no event shall the Premises be
used for a purpose or use prohibited by the Master Lease.
Sublessor makes no representation or warranty that any specific
use of the Premises desired by Tenant is permitted pursuant to
any laws.
8. Assignment and Subletting. Sublessee shall not
sell, assign, encumber, sublease or otherwise transfer by
operation of law or otherwise the Premises or this Sublease
without (i) Sublessor's consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the consent of Landlord. Any
such sale, assignment, encumbrance, sublease or other transfer in
violation of the terms of this Sublease shall be void and shall
be of no force or effect.
9. Damage and Destruction.
a. Termination of Master Lease. If the Premises
is damaged or destroyed and Landlord exercises any option it may
have to terminate the Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate
as of the date of the termination of the Master Lease. If
Sublessor has the option to terminate the Master Lease due to an
event of damage or destruction to the Premises, then Sublessor
shall promptly give Sublessee notice of such option and shall
exercise such option if so directed by Sublessee subject to the
relevant provisions of the Master Xxxxx; provided, however, that
in the event that the Master Lease shall be terminable by
Sublessor pursuant to its terms, yet Sublessee shall direct
Sublessor to refrain from terminating the Master Lease, Sublessor
shall nonetheless have the right to terminate the Master Lease
and this Sublease and all of the obligations of Sublessor under
both if Xxxxxxxx has agreed in writing to (i) release Sublessor
from all obligations and liabilities under the Master Lease; and
(ii) continue this Sublease in full force and effect as a direct
lease between Landlord and Sublessee upon and subject to all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease for the
balance of the Term hereof. If Landlord so consents, Sublessee
shall (a) attorn to Landlord in connection with any such
voluntary termination and shall execute an attornment agreement
in such form as may reasonably be requested by Xxxxxxxx;
provided, however, that the attornment agreement does not
materially adversely affect the use by Sublessee of the Premises
in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, materially
increase Sublessee's obligations under this Sublease or
materially decrease Sublessee's rights under this Sublease, and
(b) release Sublessor from all obligations and liabilities under
this Sublease arising from and after the termination of the
Master Xxxxx and return to Sublessee the Security Deposit and any
unearned amounts prepaid to Sublessor by Sublessee pursuant to
this Sublease.
b. Continuation of Sublease. If the Master
Lease is not terminated following any damage or destruction as
provided above, this Sublease shall remain in full force and
effect; provided, however, that the Rent due hereunder shall be
abated to the extent and in proportion to the reduction in base
rent and additional rent due under the Master Lease pursuant to
the terms thereof. Sublessee shall be obligated to repair its
alterations to substantially the condition they were in prior to
such damage or destruction, and Sublessor shall diligently
enforce any obligation of Landlord to rebuild the Premises in
accordance with the Master Lease.
10. Eminent Domain.
a. Total Condemnation. If all of the Premises
is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold in
lieu of condemnation, for any public or a quasi-public use or
purpose ("Condemned" or "Condemnation") , this Sublease shall
terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding, and
Base Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.
b. Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the
Premises is Condemned, and Sublessor exercises any option to
terminate the Master Lease, this Sublease shall automatically
terminate as of the date of the termination of the Master Lease.
If Sublessor has the option to terminate the Master Lease,
Sublessor shall promptly give Sublessee notice of such option and
shall exercise such option if so directed by Sublessee subject to
the relevant provisions of the Master Lease and further provided
that such partial condemnation renders the Premises unusable for
Xxxxxxxxx's business, as reasonably determined by Sublessor. If
this Sublease is not terminated following any such Condemnation,
this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect. Sublessor
shall diligently enforce any rights under the Master Lease to
require Landlord to rebuild the Premises. Base Rent shall be
equitably adjusted to take into account interference with
Sublessee's ability to conduct its operations on the Premises as
a result of the Premises being Condemned. Sublessee hereby
waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1265.130 permitting a court of law to terminate this
Sublease.
c. Sub1essee's Award. Subject to the provisions
of the Master Lease, Sublessee shall have the right to recover
from the condemning authority, but not from Sublessor, such
compensation as may be separately awarded to Sublessee in
connection with costs and removing Xxxxxxxxx's merchandise,
furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to a
new location.
11. Insurance. All insurance policies required to be
carried by Sublessee, pursuant to the Master Lease, shall contain
a provision whereby Sublessor and Landlord are each named as
additional insureds under such policies.
12. Brokeraqe Commission. Sublessor shall pay a
brokerage commission to Broker for Xxxxxxxxx`s subletting of the
Premises as provided for in a separate agreement between
Sublessor and Broker. Sublessee warrants for the benefit of
Sublessor that its sole contact with Sublessor or the Premises in
connection with this transaction has been directly with Sublessor
and Broker. Sublessee further warrants for the benefit of Sub-
lessor that no other broker or finder can properly claim a right
to a commission or a finder's fee based upon contacts between the
claimant and Sublessee with respect to the other party or the
Premises. Sublessee shall indemnify, defend by counsel accept-
able to Sublessor and hold Sublessor harmless from and against
any loss, cost or expense, including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees and court costs, resulting from any claim for a
fee or commission by any broker or finder, other than any claims
by Xxxxxx, in connection with the Premises and this Sublease.
13. Right to Cure Sublessee`s Defaults. If Sublessee
shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other
obligation of Sublessee hereunder, then Sublessor shall have the
right, but not the obligation, after the lesser of five (5) days
notice to Sublessee or the time within which Landlord may act on
Xxxxxxxxx's behalf under the Master Lease, or without notice to
Sublessee in the case of any emergency, and without waiving or
releasing Sublessee from any obligations of Sublessee hereunder,
to make such payment or perform such other obligation of
Sublessee in such manner and to such extent as Sublessor shall
deem necessary, and in exercising any such right, to pay any
incidental costs and expenses, employ attorneys and other
professionals, and incur and pay attorneys` fees and other costs
reasonably required in connection therewith. Sublessee shall pay
to Sublessor upon demand all sums so paid by Sublessor and all
incidental costs and expenses of Sublessor in connection
therewith, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.
14. Miscellaneous.
a. Entire Agreement. This Sublease contains all
of the covenants, conditions and agreements between the parties
concerning the Premises; and shall supersede all prior corres-
pondence, agreements and understandings concerning the Premises,
both oral and written. No addition or modification of any term
or provision of this Sublease shall be effective unless set forth
in writing and signed by both Sublessor and Sublessee.
b. Captions. All captions and headings in this
Sublease are for the purposes of reference and convenience and
shall not limit or expand the provisions of this Sublease.
c. Landlord`s Consent. This Sublease is
conditioned upon Xxxxxxxx's written approval of this Sublease
within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date. If Landlord
refuses to consent to this Sublease, or if the fifteen (15) day
consent period expires, this Sublease shall terminate and neither
party shall have any continuing obligation to the other with
respect to the Premises; provided Sublessor shall return the
Security Deposit if previously delivered to Sublessor, and any
other amounts, including but not limited to the first month's
payment of Base Rent, to Sublessee.
d. Authority. Each person executing this
Sublease on behalf of a party hereto represents and warrants that
he or she is authorized and empowered to do so and to thereby
bind the party on whose behalf he or she is signing.
e. Parkinq. Sublessor acknowledges that all of
Sublessor`s parking rights under the Master Lease will be
transferred to Sublessee by Sublessor.
f. Access. Sublessor reserves the right to
enter the Premises upon reasonable notice to Sublessee (except
that in case of emergency no notice shall be necessary) in order
to inspect the Premises and/or the performance by Sublessee of
the terms of this Sublease.
g. Time. Time is of the essence of every
provision of this Sublease.
h. Surrender Obliqations. Sublessee shall not
be required on the Expiration Date to remove any Alterations that
were not put in the Premises by the Sublessee or the Sublessee`s
agents, employees, contractors, assignees or sub-sublessees.
Any notice required or desired to be given regarding
this Sublease shall be in writing and may be given by personal
delivery, by facsimile telecopy, by courier service, or by mail.
A notice shall be deemed to have been given (I) on the third
business day after mailing if such notice was deposited in the
United Staes mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid,
addressed to the party to be served at its address specified in
the Defined Terms, (ii) when delivered if given by personal
delivery, and (iii) in all other cases when actually received at
the party's address. Either party may change its address by
giving notice of the same in accordance with this Section 14(I).

SOBRATO
XXXXXXXX'S CONSENT TO SUBLEASE
The Sobrato Group, a California Limited Partnership formerly known as Sobrato
Interests, a California limited partnership ("Landlord"), as Landlord under that certain
Lease (the "Lease") dated August 26,1994 by and between Landlord and Xxxxx
Systems, Inc., a California corporation the successor-in-interest to Stratacom, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, ("Tenant"), as Tenant, subject to and specifically conditioned
upon the following terms and conditions hereby grants its consent to the Sublease dated
July 27,1998, made by and between the Tenant, as sublandlord, and Cornerstone
Imaging, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Subtenant"), as subtenant, a copy of which is
attached as Exhibit A ("the Sublease"), covering that certain premises (the "Premises")
commonly known as 0000-00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx.
As conditions to the consent of Landlord to the Sublease, it is understood and agreed as follows:
1. No Release. This Consent to Sublease shall in no way release the Tenant or any
person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant, including Subtenant, from any
of its covenants, agreements, liabilities and duties under the Lease, as the same may be
amended from time to time, without respect to any provision to the contrary in the
Sublease.
2. Specific Provisions of Lease and Sublease. This Consent to Sublease consenting to
a sublease to Subtenant does not constitute approval by Landlord of any of the
provisions of the Sublease document or agreement thereto or therewith; nor shall the
same be construed to amend the Lease in any respect, any purported modifications
being solely for the purpose of setting forth the rights and obligations as between
Tenant and Subtenant, but not binding Landlord. The Sublease is, in all respects,
subject and subordinate to the Lease, as the same may be amended. Furthermore, in the
case of any conflict between the provisions of this Consent to Sublease or the Lease and
the provisions of the Sublease, the provisions of this Consent to Sublease or the Lease,
as the case may be, shall prevail unaffected by the Sublease.
3. Limited Consent. This Consent to Sublease does not and shall not be construed or
implied to be a consent to any other matter for which Xxxxxxxx's consent is required
under the Lease, including, without limitation, any Alterations under the Lease.
4. Xxxxxx's Continuing Liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any default
under the Lease, whether such default is caused by Tenant or Subtenant or anyone
claiming by or through either Tenant or Subtenant, but the foregoing shall not be
deemed to restrict or diminish any right which Landlord may have against Subtenant
pursuant to the Lease, in law or in equity for violation of the Lease or otherwise,
including, without limitation, the right to enjoin or otherwise restrain any violation of the Lease by Subtenant.
5. Default by Tenant under the Lease. If Tenant defaults under the Lease, Landlord
may elect to receive directly from Subtenant all sums due or payable to Tenant by
Subtenant pursuant to the Sublease. Upon written notice from Landlord, Subtenant
shall thereafter pay to Landlord any and all sums due or payable under the Sublease. In
such event, Tenant shall receive from Landlord a corresponding credit for such sums
against any payments then due or thereafter becoming due from Tenant.
6. Termination of Lease. If at any time prior to the expiration of the term of the
Sublease the Lease shall terminate or be terminated for any reason, the Sublease shall
simultaneously terminate. However, Subtenant agrees, at the election and upon written
demand of Landlord, and not otherwise, to attorn to Landlord for the remainder of the
term of the Sublease, such attornment to be upon all of the terms and conditions of the
Lease, except that the Base Rent set forth in the Sublease shall be substituted for the
Base Rent set forth in the Lease and the computation of Additional Rent as provided in
the Lease shall be modified as set forth in the Sublease. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, the Sublease may
otherwise terminate upon the termination of the Lease and shall be self-operative upon
such written demand of the Landlord, and no further instrument shall be required to
give effect to said provisions. Upon the demand of Landlord, however, Subtenant
agrees to execute, from time to time, documents in confirmation of the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph satisfactory to Landlord in which Subtenant shall
acknowledge such attornment and shall set forth the terms and conditions of its
tenancy.
7. Sublease Profits. Pursuant to Section 29 of the Lease, provided the Sublease remains
in full force and effect, Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord each month along with the
base monthly rent due under the Lease, the sum outlined on the attached Schedule 1
representing Xxxxxxxx's fifty percent (50%) share of the amount by which the
consideration received pursuant to the Sublease exceeds the amount due to Landlord
under the Lease less the reasonable subletting costs.
8. No Waiver; No Privity. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of
any of the Landlord's rights under the Lease. In no event, however, shall Landlord be
deemed to be in privity of contract with Subtenant or owe any obligation or duty to
Page 2
Subtenant under the Lease or otherwise, any duties of Landlord under the tease being
in favor of, for the benefit of and enforceable solely by Xxxxxx.
9. Notices. Subtenant agrees to promptly deliver a copy to Landlord of all notices of
default and all other notices sent to Tenant under the Sublease, and Xxxxxx agrees to
promptly deliver a copy to Landlord of all such notices sent to Subtenant under the
Sublease. All copies of any such notices shall be delivered personally or sent by United
States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to
Landlord.

I. Parties. THIS LEASE, is entered into on this 26th day of August, 1994,
between SOBRATO INTERESTS, a California Limited Partnership, and STRATACOM,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation, hereinafter called, respectively, "Landlord" and "Tenant".
2. Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from
Landlord, those certain Premises with the appurtenances, situated in the City of San
Xxxx, County of Santa Xxxxx, State of California, and more particularly described in
Schedule "1".
3. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for office, research and development,
marketing, light manufacturing, assembly, testing, storage and other incidental uses.
Landlord makes no representation or warranty that any specific use of the Premises
desired by Tenant is permitted pursuant to any Laws.
4. Term and Rental.
See Schedule "1" for lease term and monthly rental schedule.
Base Monthly Rent shall be due on or before the first day of each calendar month during
the term hereof and shall continue thereafter be due on or before the first day of each
calendar month during the Lease Term. AU sums payable by Tenant under this Lease
sbl1 be paid in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset or
deduction except as set forth in this Lease, and shall be paid to Landlord at such place
or places as may be designated from time to time in writing by Landlord. Base Monthly
Rent for any period less than a calendar month shall be prorated based on a thirty (30)
day month.
5. Security Deposit. Sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled Commencement
Xxxx, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a equal in amount to the first month's rent due
under this Lease as a security deposit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions
of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to payment of rent or
other charges. Landlord may, to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy Xxxxxx's
default, use all or any part of said deposit for the payment of rent or other charges in
default or the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become
obligated to spend by reason of Xxxxxx's default or to compensate Landlord for any
other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Xxxxxx's default. If any
portion of said deposit is so used or applied, 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 herein above stated. Said deposit shall be returned to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the
Xxxxx and surrender of the Premises to Landlord, less any amount deducted in
accordance with this paragraph, together with Xxxxxxxx's written notice itemizing the
amounts and purposes for such retention. In the event OF termination of Landlord's
interest in this Lease, Xxxxxxxx shall transfer said deposit to Xxxxxxxx's successor in
interest.
6. Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Xxxxxx to
Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Xxxxx, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to
ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing,
accounting charges, and late charges, which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms
of any contract, revolving credit, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any Installment of rent or my other sum due from Tenant shall not be
received by Landlord or Xxxxxxxx's designee within ten (10) days after the date on
which such payment was due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five
Page 1
percent (5%) of such overdue amount, which late charge shall be due and payable on
the same date that the overdue amount in question was due. Xxxxxxxx agrees to waive
said late charge in the event all amounts set forth in any notice served upon Tenant by
Landlord to pay rent or quit in connection with the overdue amount arc paid in full by
cashier's check within five (5) days after Landlord's service upon Tenant of such notice
to pay rent or quit. 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. In the event
that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3)
consecutive installments of Base Monthly Rent, then rent shall automatically become
due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease to the contrary.
7. Possession.
X. Xxxxxxxx of Possession: Landlord shall deliver possession of the
Premises on the Commencement Date (as defined in Schedule "1") to Tenant in good
working condition and repair, including, but not limited to the roof, parking lot,
electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and other mechanical
systems.
If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the said Premises
to Tenant at the Commencement Date, this Lease shaI1 not be void or voidable, but in
that event the Commencement Date and termination date of the Lease and all other
dates affected thereby shall be revised to conform to the date of Landlord's delivery of
possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has not delivered possession of
the Premises to Tenant by the dare which is thirty (30) days following the scheduled
Commencement Date shown on schedule "1", Tenant shall be entitled to rental
abatement hereunder of one (1) day's rent for each day beyond said thirty (30) day
period in which the Premises are nor Substantially Complete. In addition, if the
Premises are not Substantially Complete on or before the date which is one hundred
eighty (180) days following the scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant, upon written
notice to Landlord, shall be entitled to terminate this Lease without further liability to
Landlord. The rent abatement and termination right provided herein shall be the sole
and exclusive remedy of Tenant with respect by the failure by Xxxxxxxx to deliver
possession on the scheduled Commencement Date.
B. Construction Warranty for the Building: Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Lease, effective upon delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord
does hereby warrant (i) that the Premises, prior to any Alterations or new construction
performed by Xxxxxx fully comply with all applicable covenants, conditions or
restrictions and the rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, and laws of all
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the
Premises; (ii) that the roof membrane of the Building is in good condition and repair;
and (iii) that the roof, parking lot, plumbing and heating, ventilation, air conditioning
and other mechanical systems of the Building are in good operating condition and
repair. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Xxxxxx's
acceptance of the Premises shall not be deemed a waiver of the foregoing warranty or
any other warranty of Landlord under the Lease, and Landlord shall promptly repair a11
violations of the warranty set forth in this paragraph at its sole cost and expense.
Landlord's obligations with respect to the correction of such defects shall be limited to
the cost to correct the defective work and Landlord shall not be liable for any
consequential damages or other loss or damage incurred by Tenant.
C. Risk of Loss: Risk of loss of the Premises prior to the Commencement
Date of the Lease shall be borne by Landlord. At all times prior to the Commencement
Date, Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall maintain so-called contingent liability
and broad form "builder's risk" insurance with coverage in an amount equal b the
replacement cost of the Building. The insurance policy (i) shall be in a form reasonably
Page 2
satisfactory to Tenant, (ii) shall be carried with a company reasonably acceptable to
Tenant, and [iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation or
change except after at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant. If theBui1ding
is damaged or destroyed prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right
to terminate the Lease by giving notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days from the
date of the damage, if the Premises, in the reasonable opinion of the Architect, cannot be
restored within one hundred twenty days (120) from the Commencement Date specified
in Schedule "1". If the Building is damaged or destroyed and the Lease is not
terminated pursuant to the terms of the Lease and provided further sufficient insurance
proceeds exist to rebuild the Building, Landlord shall promptly and diligently complete
construction of the Building in accordance with this Lease and all insurance proceeds
with respect to the loss shall be paid to an independent depository, reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, for disbursement to the contractors completing the
Building as the work progresses in accordance with customary institutional lending
practices.
8. Acceptance of Premises and Covenants to Surrender.
A. Acceptance: Within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date,
Landlord and Xxxxxx shall together walk through and inspect the work and prepare a
written "punch list" of incomplete or defective construction. Landlord shall use its
reasonable efforts to complete and/or repair my items on the "punch list" within thirty
(30) days after the parties have prepared the "punch list" or as soon thereafter as
practicable in the exercise of due diligence. After completion of the "punch list", Tenant
shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises.
B. Correction of Defects: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary In the
Lease, Xxxxxx's acceptance of the Premises or submission of a "punch list" shall not be
deemed a waiver of Xxxxxx's right to have defects in the Tenant Improvements and the
Premises repaired at landlord's sole expense. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord
wherever any such defect becomes reasonably apparent, and Landlord shall repair such
defect as soon as reasonably practicable. Landlord also hereby assigns to Tenant all
warranties with respect to the Premises which would reduce Tenant's maintenance
obligations hereunder and shall cooperate with Tenant to enforce all such warranties.
Landlord warrants that it will obtain a one (1) year warranty from its contractors and
suppliers on the roof membrane.
C. Surrender: Xxxxxx agrees on the last day of the Lease Term, or promptly
following any sooner termination, to surrender the Premises to Landlord in the
condition received by Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, acts of God, casualties,
condemnation, Hazardous Materials as defined in paragraph 18 hereof (other than
those stored, used, generated, or disposed of by Tenant, its employees, agents,
contractors and invitees in or about the Premises in violation of "Law" as defined in
subparagraph 1l.X.x), and Alterations as defined in subparagraph 10.A made by Tenant
which Landlord has indicated that Tenant shall not be required to remove, excepted.
Tenant agrees, at its sole cost, to remove all phone and data cabling from the suspended
ceiling and repair or replace broken ceiling tilts, and relevel the ceiling if required.
Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord within thirty (30) days before the Expiration Date
(or promptly following any sooner termination of his Lease) whether Landlord will
require Tenant to remove any Alterations made by Tenant at the Premises; provided

previously indicated may remain at the Premises. If Landlord shall so require, then
Tenant shall remove such Alterations as Landlord may designate and shall repair any
damage to the Premises occasioned by the removal before the Expiration Date or
promptly following any sooner termination at Xxxxxx's sole cost and expense. On or
before the end of the Lease Term or promptly following any sooner termination, Tenant
shall remove all of its personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises, and all
property and fixtures not so removed shall be deemed to be abandoned by Tenant. If

this Lease in the condition required by this paragraph, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Xxxxxx in
Page 3
so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any
succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
9. Uses Prohibited. Tenant shall not (i) commit, or suffer to be committed, any
waste or nuisance upon the Premises, or (ii) allow any sale by auction upon the
Premises, or (iii) allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, or (iv) place
any loads upon the floor, walls, or ceiling which endanger the structure, or (v) use any
machinery or apparatus which will vibrate or shake the Premises or the Building so as

Premises outside of the Building except in waste containers.
10. Alterations and Additions.
A. Construction of Alterations. Tenant may construct non-structural
alterations, additions and improvements ("Alterations") in the Premises without
Xxxxxxxx's prior approval, if the aggregate cost of the Alteration in question does not
exceed Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). If Tenant desires to
make Alterations costing more than Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($25,000) or structural Alterations, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and, if Landlord does not notify Tenant in
writing of its reasonable disapproval of such Alteration within fourteen (14) days
following Xxxxxx's written request for approval and delivery to Landlord of the
proposed plans, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the proposed
Alteration. Upon the request of Tenant, Landlord shall within the above stated fourteen
(14) day period advise Tenant in writing as to whether Landlord shall require removal
of any Alteration in question upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the
Lease Term. Landlord shall exercise reasonable discretion in determining whether
Landlord will require removal of the Alteration in question. Xxxxxx agrees that it will
not proceed to make any Alterations until (i) Tenant has obtained all required
governmenta1 approvals and permits, and (ii) Tenant has provided Landlord reasonable
security, in form reasonably approved by Xxxxxxxx, to protect Landlord against
mechanics' lien claims. Tenant further agrees to provide Xxxxxxxx (i) written notice of
the anticipated start date and the actual start date of the work, and (ii) a complete set of
as-built drawings. All Alterations shall be (i) performed in compliance with all
applicable Laws and (ii) maintained, replaced or repaired by Tenant at Tenant's sole
costs and expense.
B. Ownership of Alterations: All Alterations, trade fixtures and personal
property installed in the Premises at Tenant's expense ("Tenant's Property") shall at all
times remain Tenant's property and Tenant shall be entitled to all depreciation,
amortization and other tax benefits with respect thereto. Except for Alterations which
cannot be removed without structural injury to the Premises, Tenant may remove
Tenant's Property from the Premises at any time, provided Tenant, at its expense,
repairs any damage caused by such removal. Landlord shall have no lien or other
interest whatsoever in any item of Tenant's Property located in the Premises or
elsewhere, and Landlord hereby waives all such liens and interests. Within ten (10)
days following Xxxxxx's request, Xxxxxxxx shall execute documents in reasonable form
to evidence Xxxxxxxx's waiver of any right, title, lien or interest in Xxxxxx's Property
located in the Premises.
X. Xxxxxx Maintenance: Subject to Landlord's obligations as set forth in
this Lease and to the amortization of capital items as set forth in subparagraph 11.B,
Tenant shall, at its sole cost, keep and maintain, repair and replace, the Premises and
appurtenances and every part hereof, including but not limited to, the interior non-load
Page 4
bearing walls, the roof membrane, the sidewalks, the parking area, the elevator, the
plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, and the Tenant Improvements in good and
sanitary order, condition, and repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall
repair and maintain in good condition, at Landlord's sole cost, the structural portions of
the Premises at all times during the Lease Term, including the foundation, exterior
walls, load-bearing walls, and the roof structure. Tenant shall maintain the HVAC and
elevator equipment in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer of such
equipment. Subject to the obligations of Landlord hereunder and the amortization of
capital items as set forth in subparagraph l1.B, Tenant shall pay the cost of all air-
conditioning and heating equipment repairs or replacements which are either excluded
from such service contract or any existing equipment warranties. Tenant shall be
responsible for the preventive maintenance of the roof membrane, which responsibility
shall be deemed properly discharged if (i) Tenant contracts with a licensed roof
contractor who is reasonably satisfactory to the Tenant and Landlord, at Xxxxxx's sole
cost, to inspect the roof membrane at least every six months, with the first inspection
due six (6) months after the Commencement Date, and (ii) Xxxxxx performs, at Xxxxxx's
sole cost, all routine preventive maintenance recommendations made by such
contractor within a reasonable time after such recommendations are made. Such
preventive maintenance might include acts such as clearing storm gutters and drains,
removing debris from the roof membrane, trimming trees overhanging the roof
membrane, applying coating materials to seal roof penetrations, repairing blisters, and
other routine measures. Upon Landlord's advance written request, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord a copy of such preventive maintenance contract and paid invoices
for the recommended work for which Tenant is responsible. Subject to Landlord's
obligations hereunder and to the amortization of capital items set forth below, Tenant
agrees, at its expense, to water, maintain and replace, when necessary, any shrubbery
and landscaping.
B. Excluded Costs: Notwithstanding anything to thc contrary in this Lease
in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to perform or to pay directly, or to
reimburse Landlord for, all or any portion of the following repairs, maintenance,
improvements, replacements, premiums, claims, losses, fees, charges, costs and
expenses (collectively "Costs") nor shall any portion of thc Tenant Improvement Costs
(as defined in paragraph 7) consist of the following items, all of which shall be the
responsibility of Landlord:
1. Losses Caused By Others: Costs occasioned by the act, omission or
violation of any covenants, statutes, laws, orders, rules, underwriter's requirements,
regulations, private restrictions, building codes or ordinances (collectively, "Law"), a
misrepresentation, or breach of this Lease, by Landlord or its agents, employees,
contractors, subcontractors, tenants, or invitees.
2. Casualties and Condemnations: Costs occasioned by fire, acts of
God, or other casualties or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, provided
that Tenant will pay insurance deductibles but only to the extent approved by Tenant in
writing in accordance with subparagraph 12D of this Lease.
3. Reimbursable Expenses: Costs for which Landlord has a right of
reimbursement from others or for which Xxxxxxxx actually receives reimbursement.
4. Construction Defects and Compliance with Law: Costs (i) relating
to a failure of the Premises to conform to all CC&Rs (hereinafter defined), underwriter's
requirements or Laws as of the Commencement Date or (ii) relating to construction
defects; or (iii) required to conform the Premises to the final Tenant Improvement
5. Hazardous Materials: Except to the extent caused by the disposal,
release, emission generation, or storage of the Hazardous Material in question by
Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors in violation of Law, Costs incurred
to investigate the presence of any Hazardous Materials, Costs to respond to any claim of
Hazardous Material contamination or damage, Costs to remove any Hazardous
Page 5
Material in, on, about or under the Premises, judgment or other Costs incurred in
connection with any Hazardous Materials exposure or releases, or any other Cost
associated with a Hazardous Material.
6. Capital Improvements: If Tenant's maintenance or repair
obligations as set forth in this Lease would require Tenant to perform or pay for any
improvement which (i) would be properly be capitalized under generally accepted
accounting principles, and (i) which cost exceeds Ten Thousand and No/lOO Dollars
($10,000.00), then Landlord shall perform such repair or make such replacement
promptly after notification by Tenant if, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, such repair
or replacement is necessary for the proper operation of the Premises, and the cost of
such item or improvement shall be allocated as follows; Landlord and Tenant shall
establish the useful life of the item in question based upon generally accepted
accounting principles. Tenant shall pay (i) the first Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($l0,000.00) of the cost for the item or improvement in question; and (ii) a proportion of
the actual cost equal to the remaining cost of such improvement or item paid by
Landlord to the third party contractor performing the maintenance or furnishing the
replacement times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months
remaining in the then-current Lease Term, and the denominator of which is the useful
life of the improvement in months. The amount so determined shall be divided by the
number of months remaining in the then-current Lease Term and Tenant shall pay the
resulting monthly amount to Landlord on the first day of each month of the then-
current Lease Term at an interest rate equal to that interest rate specified in the
promissory note secured by the first deed of trust on the Premises. Nothing contained
herein shall obligate Landlord to remodel, refurbish or reconfigure the floor plan of any
space leased by Xxxxxx.
B. Landlord's Obligations. Thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement
Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord a written list of the maintenance and repairs
necessary to bring the HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems within the Premises into
good operating condition and repair. In addition, Tenant shall provide a written list of
any required repairs to the roof membrane after the first major storm following the
Commencement Date. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense shall make such repairs
within thirty (30) days following receipt of either List.
C. Site Common Area Costs: Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse Landlord for the
expenses resulting from Xxxxxxxx's payment of Site Common Arm Costs as defined
below incurred by Landlord because the cost is not directly allocable to or payable by a
single tenant in the improved property owned by Landlord bounded by Parkmoor
Avenue, Race Street, Lincoln Avenue and Auzerais Street (the "Project") as outlined in
Exhibit X. Xxxxxx agrees to pay Xxxxxx's Allocable Share as defined below of the Site
Common Area Costs, as additional rental, within thirty (30) days of written invoice
from Landlord.
For purposes of calculating Tenant's Allocable Share of Site Common Area Costs, the
Term "Site Common Area Costs" shall mean all costs and expenses related to the Project
which are incurred by Landlord in connection with ownership, management,
maintenance and operation of the Project in which the Premises are located, not directly
allocable to or payable by a single tenant in the Project, including but not limited to, the
following: (i) Common area utilities for the Project site, including water and power;
and (ii) All common area maintenance and service agreements for the Project site
including, without limitation, common area landscape maintenance services, alarm and
security services, maintenance, repair and replacement of the sidewalks, waterscape,
parking areas, driveways, and service areas. Site Common Area Costs shall not include
a management fee.
For purposes of allocating Site Common Area Costs which Tenant shall pay, Tenant's
Allocable Share of Site Common Area Costs shall be computed on a shared service by
service basis, by multiplying the total Site Common Area Costs for service shared by the
Building and one or more buildings in the Project by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the rentable square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which is the total
Page 6
rentable square footage of the Buildings in the Project which share the services. It is
understood and agreed that Xxxxxx's obligation to share in Site Common Area Costs
shall be adjusted to reflect the commencement and termination dates of the Lease Term
and are subject to recalculation in the event of expansion of the building or Project.
12. Insurance.
A. Tenant's Use: Tenant shall not use, or permit the Premises, or any part
thereof, to be used for my unlawful purpose and no use shall be made or permitted to
be made of the Premises, nor acts done, which will cause an increase in premiums for
the insurance to be maintained by Landlord (unless Tenant pays for the cost of such
increase) or a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Premises. Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all reasonable requirements
pertaining to said Premises of any insurance organization or company necessary for the
maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Premises,
excluding structural improvements or alterations not related to Tenant's specific and
particular use.
X. Xxxxxxxx's Insurance: Xxxxxxxx agrees to purchase and keep in force
Landlord's liability, loss of rents, and fire and extended coverage insurance in an "all
risk" form covering the Premises and all of the Tenant Improvements paid for by
Landlord in the amount of their full replacement value. Xxxxxx agrees to pay to the
Landlord as additional rent, on demand, the cost of such insurance as evidenced by
insurance xxxxxxxx to Landlord. Payment shall be due to Landlord on the later of:
(i) thirty (30) days after written invoice to Tenant; or (ii) twenty (20) days prior to the
due date of such premiums. Xxxxxx's obligation under this paragraph will be prorated
to reflect the commencement and termination dates of this Lease. In the event that
Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to purchase earthquake insurance, Tenant's
obligation to pay for the cost of any earthquake insurance premiums shall be limited to
an amount equal to or less than two (2) times the cost of the fire and extended coverage
premiums. If the Project is located in a flood zone, Landlord shall also maintain flood
insurance insuring the Building and Tenant Improvements paid for by Landlord for
their full replacement value, and Tenant shall pay for flood insurance premiums in the
manner set forth herein.
X. Xxxxxx's Insurance: Tenant, at its sole cost, agrees to insure Xxxxxx's
Property in an amount Tenant deems appropriate for its protection and to obtain
worker's compensation as required by Law. Tenant at its sole cost, shall also maintain
commercial general Liability insurance for occurrences within the Premises of $5,000,000
combined single limited for bodily injury and property damage. Tenant shall name
Landlord as an additional insured under such commercial genera1 liability policy, and
shall deliver a copy of such policy to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and
upon any renewal of such policy. Xxxxxx's commercial general Liability policy sha11
provide for thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord of any cancellation or
termination or reduction in coverage.
D. Insurance Deductibles: Tenant shall have the right to specify the
deductible of any insurance policy to be carried by Landlord under this Lease and shall
reimburse Landlord, in the manner set forth in subparagraph 12.B, for the premiums
payable with respect to insurance policies for which Xxxxxx is responsible under
subparagraph 12.B containing the deductible 50 specified by Tenant or on insurance
policies for which Tenant fails to specify a deductible amount within thirty (30) days
following Xxxxxxxx's written demand for such deductible specification. In the event of
damage to the Premises covered by Xxxxxxxx's "all risk" casualty policy (and not caused
by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents.
contractors, subcontractors, or invitees), Tenant shall pay the amount of any deductible
under such policy if this Lease is not terminated in connection with such casualty as
provided in paragraph 27 hereof, provided Xxxxxx has approved in writing in advance
the amount of such deductible.
Page 7
X. Xxxxxx: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease,
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on
account of any loss or damage that is caused or results from a risk which is actually
insured against, which is required to be insured against under this Lease, or which
would normally be covered by a standard form of full replacement value "all risk
extended coverage" policy of casualty insurance, regardless of whether such loss or
damage is due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant or of their respective agents,
employees, subtenants, contractors, assignees, invitees or any other cause. Each party
shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain from their respective insurance companies a
waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company may have against the
Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be, if, after such reasonable efforts, such
insurance policy cannot be obtained with such waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver
of subrogation is only available at additional cost and the party for whose benefit the
waiver is not obtained does not pay such additional cost, then the party obtaining such
insurance shall immediately notify the other party of that fact and shall be relieved of
pursuing the waiver further.
13. Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay prior to delinquency, all taxes
and assessments levied against Xxxxxx's Property, and agrees to pay, as additional
rental all real estate taxes and assessment installments (special or general) or other
impositions or charges which may be levied with respect to the Premises including real
estate tax increases due to a sale or other transfer of the Premises. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if real property taxes are increased as a result of voluntary conveyance
or other transfer of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall be liable for (i) only 1/3
of such Increase for the first year following such increase; (ii) 2/3 of such increase for
the second year following such increase; and (iii) for one hundred percent (100%) of
such increase thereafter for the Lease Term. It is understood and agreed that Xxxxxx's
obligation under this paragraph will be prorated to reflect the commencement and
termination dates of this Lease. Tenant shall pay such taxes on the later of (i) twenty
(20) days after written notice from Landlord (which notice shall contain a copy of the
tax bill in question); or (ii) ten (10) days before the tax delinquency date. If at any time
during the Lease Term a tax, excise on rents, business license tax, or any other tax,
however described, is levied or assessed against Landlord, as a substitute or addition in
whole or in part for real estate taxes assessed or imposed on land or Buildings, Tenant
shall pay and discharge its share of such tax or excise on rents or other tax before it
becomes delinquent. In the event that a tax is placed, levied, or assessed against
Landlord and the taxing authority takes the position that the Tenant cannot pay and
discharge its pro rata share of such tax on behalf of the Landlord, then at the sole
election of the Landlord, the Landlord may increase the rental charged hereunder by the
exact amount of such tax and Tenant shall pay such increase as additional rent
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be
required to pay any portion of any tax or assessment: (i) levied on Landlord's renta1
income, unless such tax or assessment is imposed in lieu of real property taxes; (ii) in
excess of the amount which would be payable if such tax or assessment were paid in
installments over the longest possible term; (iii) imposed on land and improvements
other than the Premises; (iv) attributable to Landlord's net income, inheritance, gift,
transfer, franchise or estate taxes; or (v) imposed with respect to Hazardous Materials
unless Tenant caused such Hazardous Materials. Tenant may in good faith contest any
real property taxes provided that Tenant indemnifies Landlord from any loss or liability
in connection therewith.
14. Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly to the providing utility all water, gas, heat,
light, power, telephone and other utilities supplied to the Premises. Landlord shall not
be liable for a loss of or injury to property, however occurring, through or in connection
with or incidental to furnishing or failure to furnish any of utilities to the Premises and
Tenant shall not be entitled to abatement or reduction of any portion of the rent so long
as any failure to provide and furnish the utilities to the Premises is not due to the
negligence, or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if utilities are not available to the Premises for a period
of thirty (30) consecutive days or more and such failure does not result from the acts or
omissions of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall be
Page 8
entitled to an abatement of rent to the extent of the interference with Xxxxxx's use of the
Premises occasioned thereby, which abatement shall commence on the thirty-first (31st)
consecutive day of such interference and continue until the affected services are
restored so that the Premises are reasonably suitable for Xxxxxx's intended use, and if
such interference is not corrected so that the Premises are reasonably suitable for
Xxxxxx's intended use within one hundred eighty (180) days following the interference
or interruption, then Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the above abatement of rent
shall only apply in the event Tenant has not occupied the Premises affected by the
interference during the preceding thirty (30) days.
15 This paragraph intentionally deleted.
16. Free From Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising
out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant or
claimed to have been performed for Tenant provided, however, that if Tenant, in good
faith, elects to contest such lien, Tenant shall furnish and maintain a bond or other
security reasonably acceptable to landlord, and Tenant shall not then be deemed in
default under this Lease. In the event Tenant fails to discharge any such lien within ten
(10) days after receiving notice of the filing, Landlord shall be entitled to discharge such
xxxx at Xxxxxx's expense and all resulting costs incurred by Xxxxxxxx, including
attorney's fees, shall be due from Tenant as additional rent
17. Compliance With Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, comply with the requirements of all Laws now in force, or which may
hereafter be in force, either (i) pertaining to Tenant's specific and particular use of the
Premises or (ii) arising because of an Alteration made by Tenant, and shall faithfully
observe in the use of the Premises all Laws now in force or which may hereafter be in
force. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant
in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether landlord be a party thereto or not,
that Xxxxxx has violated any such ordinance or statute in Tenant's use of the Premises,
shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. At the
Commencement Date, the Premises shall conform to all requirements of covenants,
conditions, restrictions and encumbrances ("CC&Rs"), all underwriters' requirements,
and all Laws applicable thereto. Tenant shall not be required to construct or pay the
cost of complying with any CC&Rs, underwriters' requirements or Laws requiring
construction of improvements in the Premises which are properly capitalized under
generally accepted accounting principles, unless (i) such compliance is necessitated
solely because of Tenant's particular and specific use of the Premises or (ii) such
compliance is necessitated because of Alterations made by Tenant. Any structural
requirements or Costs necessitated by CC&R's, underwriters' requirements or Laws
which are imposed on buildings or real estate generally (as opposed to the Premises
because of Tenant's specific and particular use) shall be performed by Landlord and the
cost of such item or improvement shal1 be allocated as follows: Landlord and Xxxxxx
shall establish the useful life of the improvement based upon generally accepted
accounting principles. Tenant shall pay a proportion of the actual cost equal to the cost
of such improvement or item paid by Xxxxxxxx to the third party contractor performing
the maintenance or furnishing the replacement times a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of months remaining in the initial Lease Term, and the denominator of
which is the useful life of the improvement in months. Tenant shall make such payment
to Landlord within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord.
18. Toxic Waste and Environmental Damage.
X. Xxxxxx's Responsibility: Tenant shall not bring, allow, or use upon the
Premises, or generate, create, emit, release or dispose from the Premises, any chemicals,

other federal, state, county or municipal law, ordinance or regulation, (ii) claims,
liabilities, costs or expenses pertaining to the cleanup or maintenance of wastes, the
identification of the pollutants in the waste, the identification of scope of any
environmental contamination, the removal of pollutants fron soils, riverbeds or

(iii) a11 costs of defending such claim. Xxxxxx further agrees to properly close the
facility with regard to Hazardous Materials and obtain a Closure Certificate from the
local administering agency for any Hazardous Material used, generated, emitted or
disposed of by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees in or about the
Premises if so required by Law upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the
Lease. Landlord may employ, at Xxxxxxxx's expense, an independent engineer or
consultant to periodically inspect Xxxxxx's operations to verify that Tenant is complying
with its obligations under this paragraph.
B. No Responsibility: Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this
Lease, Tenant shall have no responsibility to Landlord, Landlord's employees,
contractors, officers, agents or partners or to any third party for any Hazardous Material
which was not released, stored, disposed of, emitted, or discharged by Tenant, its

unknown, against Tenant with respect to Hazardous Materials present on the Premises
as of the Commencement Date or which come to be present on the Premises after the
Commencement Date, except to the extent that the presence of the Hazardous Materials

contractors, or invitees.

reasonable times subject to any reasonable safety and/or security regulations of Tenant

A. Obligation to Restore: In the event of damage or destruction to the
Building or Premises or any portion thereof by any casualty during the Lease Term,
Landlord shall forthwith repair the same to the condition the Building or Premises were
in immediately before the destruction (to the extent permitted by Laws), provided such
casualty is (i) of a type required to be insured against by Landlord under the terms of
this Lease and for which Xxxxxxxx has actually received insurance proceeds sufficient to
repair the damage or destruction or (ii) is actually insured against by Xxxxxxxx and for
which Xxxxxxxx has actually received insurance proceeds sufficient to repair the
damage or destruction (herein collectively referred to as an "Insured Casualty"). In the
event of damage or destruction of the Premises by a casualty of a type which is not
required to be insured against by Landlord under this Lease, and which is not actually
insured against by Landlord (herein referred to as an "Uninsured Casualty"), Landlord
shall restore the Premises to the same condition as they were in immediately before
such destruction (to the extent permitted by Laws) and this Lease shall not terminate;
provided, that if in the case of such Uninsured Casualty the cost of restoration exceeds
five percent (5%) of the then replacement cost of the Building, Landlord may elect to
terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after
determining the replacement cost and furnishing reasonable evidence thereof to Tenant.
If Landlord SO elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after
Page 15
receiving Xxxxxxxx's notice to terminate, can elect to pay to Landlord at the time Tenant
notifies Landlord of its election, the difference between five percent (5%) of the
replacement cost of the Building and the actual cost of restoration, in which case
Landlord shall restore the Premises and this Lease shall not terminate. If Landlord so
elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant does not elect to contribute the cost Of
restoration as provided herein, this Lease shall terminate. In all events Landlord shall
not be required to restore or replace Xxxxxx's Alterations or replace Xxxxxx's Property
unless Landlord receives insurance proceeds which cover such losses. Provided the
damage is not due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees,
agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of
Base Monthly Rent during the period of damage and restoration, such proportionate
reduction to be based upon the extent to which thc damage and making of repairs shall
interfere with Xxxxxx's use of the Premises.
B. Tenant's Right to Terminate: In the event of damage or destruction to
the Premises, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a good faith written estimate from
Xxxxxxxx's architect or construction consultant of the time period needed to restore the
Premises, within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction in question.
If such estimate indicates that the repair or restoration of the Premises cannot be made
within one hundred eighty (1Ro) days after the date of the damage or destruction, and
Landlord has not terminated the Lease pursuant to paragraph 27A above, Tenant may,
at its option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord of such election
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's estimate. Tenant shall also have the
right to terminate this Lease if the actual restoration of the Premises is not effectuated
within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the casualty. Further, Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Building is damaged by any peril
within twelve (12) months of the last day of the Lease Term to such an extent that more
than thirty percent (30%) of the floor area of the Building is rendered unusable by
Tenant for a period of more than sixty (60) days. The provision of Section 1932
Subdivision Z and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of
California and any other similarly enacted statute are waived by Tenant and the
provisions of this paragraph 27 shall govern in the case of such destruction.
A. Permitted Transfers: Tenant may, without Landlord's prior written
consent and without any participation by Xxxxxxxx in assignment or subletting
proceeds, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to the following (herein called
"Permitted Transferees"): (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlled by
or under common control with Tenant (ii) a successor corporation related to Tenant by
merger, consolidation, or non-bankruptcy reorganization; or (iii) a purchaser of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located in the Premises. For the purpose of this
Lease, sale of Tenant's capital stock shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or
any other transfer of the Lease or the Premises.
B. Consent by Landlord: In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or
any interest therein including, without limitation, a pledge, mortgage or other
hypothecation, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof except as set forth above with
respect to 'Permitted Transferees," Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of the
proposed agreement, the financial statements of the assignee or subtenant, and any
additional information as reasonably required by Landlord. Landlord shall then have a
period of fourteen (14) days following receipt of such notice, documents and
information within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects (i) to permit
Tenant to assign or sublet such space to the named assignee/subtenant, or (ii) to refuse
consent, provided Landlord shall not unreasonably refuse such consent. If Landlord
should fail to notify Xxxxxx in writing of such election within said 14 day period,
Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to permit the assignment or sublease in
Question. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor
of any obligations under this Lease or any guaranty. Xxxxxxxx's consent to the
proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
provided and upon condition that: (i) the proposed uses will not violate this Lease or
Page 16
any Laws; (ii) the proposed assignee or subtenant has sufficient financial worth to
undertake the responsibility involved, and Xxxxxxxx has been furnished with
reasonable proof thereof; and (ii) the proposed assignment or sublease shall be in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Whether or not Landlord grants its consent to the
proposed sublease or assignment, Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse Landlord for all
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the review
of the proposed sublease or assignment.
C. Assignment or Subletting Consideration: Any rent actually received by
Tenant under any sublease or assignment in excess of the rent payable hereunder, after
deducting the unamortized cost of the Tenant Improvements paid by Xxxxxx and
Alterations installed at Tenant's expense provided such Alterations or Tenant
Improvements arc utilized by the subtenant or assignee, and subletting and assignment
costs incurred by Xxxxxx in connection with the assignment or sublease (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, brokerage commissions, and remodeling costs), any
vacancy costs incurred by Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx's costs in performing under such
assignment or sublease, shall be paid by Tenant fifty percent (50%) to Landlord upon
Tenants receipt thereof. Xxxxxxxx's right to the allocation of bonus rent is an
independently negotiated term of the Lease, constitutes a material inducement for the
Landlord to enter into the Lease, and is agreed as between the parties to be
commercially reasonable.
D. No Release: Any assignment or sublease except to a Permitted
Transferee shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee or
subtenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby the assignee or subtenant
shall assume all of the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or
observed and shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and
conditions contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding any sublease or assignment and
the acceptance of rent or additional rent by Landlord from any subtenant or assignee,
Tenant and any guarantor shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the rent
And additional rent due, an to become due hereunder, for the performance of all of the
covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the
part of Tenant to be performed and for all acts and omissions of any licensee, subtenant,
assignee or any other person claiming under or through any subtenant or assignee that
shall be in violation of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and any such
violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall further
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting
from any claims that may be made against Landlord by any real estate brokers or other
persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the
proposed assignment or sublease.
E. Effect of Default: In the event of Xxxxxx's default, Tenant hereby assigns
all rents due from any assignment or subletting to Landlord as security for performance
of its obligations under this Lease and Landlord may collect such rents as Xxxxxx's
attorney-in-fact, except that Tenant may collect such rents unless a default occurs as
described in such election paragraph 22 above. The termination of this Lease due to
Tenant's default shall not automatically terminate any assignment or sublease then in
existence; at the election of Landlord such assignment or sublease shall survive the
termination of this Lease and, upon such election, the assignee or subtenant shall attorn
to Landlord and Landlord shall undertake the obligations of the Tenant under the
sublease or assignment; provided the Landlord shall not be liable for prepaid rent,
security deposits or other defaults of the Tenant to the subtenant or assignee, or any acts
or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees contractors and invitees.
29. Condemnation. If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase
in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder,
this Lease shall as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall vest in the
condemnor or purchaser, and the Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder shall be
Page 17
adjusted so that Tenant shall be required to pay for the remainder of the Lease Term
only such portion of the rent as the value of the part remaining after such taking bears
to the value of the entire Premises prior to such taking; but in such event Tenant shall
have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part taken vests
in the condemnor or purchaser if the taking or condemnation of the Premises is such
that the remaining space unaffected by the taking or condemnation is not reasonably
suitable for Tenant's use or the conduct of Xxxxxx's business. If a part or all of the
Premises be taken, all compensation awarded upon such taking shall go to Landlord
and the Tenant shall have no claim thereto; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to waive or release Xxxxxx's interest in any separate award for
(i) loss of or damage to Xxxxxx's trade fixtures, Alterations, or personal property;
(ii) interruption of Xxxxxx's business; (iii) Tenant's loss of goodwill; (iv) Xxxxxx's moving
cost; (v) Tenant's interest in any Tenant Improvements; (vi) or any separate award made
to Tenant for whatever purpose. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of the condemnation, Landlord at its expense shall, to the extent of the condemnation
award, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation. Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedures Section 1265.130 or
any similar statue now or hereafter enacted.
30. Effects of Conveyance. The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, means only
the owner for the time being of the Premises, so that, in the event of any sale or other
conveyance of the Premises, the transferor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of the "Landlord" hereunder accruing after the
date of the conveyance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transferor shall not be
relieved of its obligations under this Lease, unless and until it transfers the cash security
deposit or original letter of credit to its successor and the successor assumes in writing
the obligations of Landlord accruing on and after the effective date of the transfer.
Furthermore, the transferor shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder accruing
after the date of the transfer unless the assignee or successor in question has a net worth
reasonably sufficient to assure performance of the obligations of Landlord hereunder,
and Landlord furnishes reasonable evidence thereof to Tenant.
A. Subordination to Future Obligations: In the event Landlord notifies
Tenant in writing, this Lease shall be subordinate to any ground lease, deed of trust, or
other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises and to any
and all advances made on the security thereof and to renewals, modifications,
replacements and extensions thereof. Xxxxxx agrees to promptly execute and deliver
any reasonable documents which may be required to effectuate such subordination
within ten (10) days following Xxxxxxxx's request. Notwithstanding such subordination
but subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Xxxxxx's right to quiet possession
of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, subordination of Xxxxxx's
leasehold interest to a mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or instrument of security,
and Xxxxxx's attornment to any party is conditioned upon (i) Xxxxxx's concurrent
receipt from the lender or ground lessor in question of an express written agreement in
form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant providing for recognition of all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease and providing for continuation of this Lease upon foreclosure of
the deed of trust, mortgage or security interest or termination of the ground lease; and
iii) the written agreement by such successor to perform all of the obligations to be
performed by Landlord under the Lease on and after the date of the foreclosure or
termination of the ground lease excepting the environmental indemnity contained in
paragraph 18.C which shall be a continuing obligation of Landlord.
B. Existing Obligations: Landlord represents and warrants that the
Premises are not encumbered by a mortgage, loan, deed of trust or ground Lease as of
the date of Xxxxxxxx's execution of this Lease, except for the first deed of trust in favor
of Principal financial Group ("Lender"). Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to
cause the Lender to furnish to Tenant with a written agreement in form reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant providing for: (i) recognition by Lender of a11 of the terms and
Page 18
conditions of this Lease; and (ii) continuation of this Lease upon foreclosure of Lender's
security interest in the Premises.
32. Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term,
covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder
by Xxxxxxxx (or the payment thereof by Tenant) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any preceding breach by Landlord or Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental accepted by Landlord,
regardless of the party's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance
of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No delay or omission in
the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver thereof by Landlord. No act or conduct of Landlord, including,
without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute acceptance of
the surrender of the Premises by Xxxxxx before the Expiration Date. Xxxxxxxx's consent
to or approval of any act by Tenant which require Landlord's consent or approvals shall
not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any
subsequent act by Xxxxxx.
33. Holding Over. Any holding over after the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of the Lease shall be construed to be a tenancy from month-to-month,
terminable on thirty (30) days written notice from either party, and Tenant shall pay
rent to Landlord at a rate equal to the greater of (i) one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the Base Monthly Rent installment due in the month preceding the
termination or Expiration Date or (ii) the Fair Market Rental (as defined in
paragraph 37) plus all other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease. Any holding
over shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, except those
provisions relating to the Lease Term and any options to extend or renew, which
provisions shall be of no further force and effect following the expiration of the
applicable exercise period. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord
harmless from all loss or liability (including, without limitation, any loss or liability
resulted from any claim against Xxxxxxxx made by any succeeding tenant) founded on
or resulting from Xxxxxx's failure to timely surrender the Premises to
Landlord and losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease the Premises to
succeeding tenants.
34. Successors and Assigns. The covenants and conditions herein contained
shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph 28 above, apply to and bind the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all the parties hereto.
35. Estoppel Certificates. Each party shall at any time during the Lease Term,
within ten (10) business days following written notice from the other party, execute and
deliver a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification) and the date to
which any rent and other charges have been paid in advance, and acknowledging that
there are not, to the party's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other
party hereunder or specifying such defaults if they are claimed. Any such statement
may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Premises or a purchaser of Tenant's assets or leasehold interest. Landlord's or Tenant's
failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the party not
providing the statement that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by the requesting party; (ii) there are not
uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance. Upon the advance written
request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with Tenant's most recent available
financial statements, subject to the following: (i) Landlord shall only require such
statement in connection with Xxxxxxxx's proposed sale or refinance of the Premises; and
(ii) Landlord and any person or entity to whom such financial statements are provided
shall agree in writing to hold such statements in the confidence unless such statements
are otherwise available to the public.

36. Option to Extend the Lease Term. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, upon
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph, two options (the
"Options") to extend the term of the Lease for an additional term (the "Option Term"),
each Option Term to be for a period of sixty (60) months provided Tenant is not in
default at (i) the date of exercise of the Option, or (ii) at the commencement of the
Option Term. The Options shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Landlord on
or before the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then-current
Lease Term. If Tenant exercises the Option, each of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease shall apply during the Option Term, except that the Base Monthly Rent
payable by Tenant during the Option Period shall be the ninety five percent (95%) of the
fair market monthly rent for the Premises (the "Fair Market Rent") as of the
commencement of the Option Period. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall
have only two (2) Options to extend the term of the Lease. Fair Market Rent for the
Premises shall mean the rental and all other monetary payments including any
escalations and adjustments thereto (including without limitation Consumer Price
Indexing) then being obtained for new leases of space comparable in age and quality to
the Premises in the Locality of the Building that Landlord could obtain during the
Option Tern from a third party desiring to lease the Premises for the Option Term. The
appraisers shall be instructed that the foregoing five percent (5%) discount is intended
to reduce comparable rents which include (i) brokerage commissions, (ii) tenant
improvement allowances, and (iii) vacancy costs, to account for the fact that Landlord
will not suffer such costs. The determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises
sha11 not include any part of the rental value added to the Premises as a consequence of
construction of Alterations or improvements made by Tenant or at Tenant's expense.
37. Appraisal. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent for the
Premises for the applicable Option Term at least ninety (90) days prior to the
commencement of such Option Term, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by
appraisal conducted pursuant to this paragraph 37. If it becomes necessary to
determine by appraisal the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for the purpose of
establishing the Base Monthly Rent pursuant to this paragraph 37 or for purposes of any
other provision of this Lease, then such Fair Market Rent shall be determined by three
(3) real estate appraisers, all of whom shall bc members of the American Institute of
Real Estate Appraisers with not less than five (5) years experience appraising
commercial and industrial real property located in Santa Xxxxx County, California, in
accordance with the following procedures:
A. The party demanding an appraisal (the "Notifying Party") shall notify
the other party (the "Non-Notifying Party") thereof by delivering a written demand for
appraisal, which demand, to be effective, must give the name, address and
qualifications of an appraiser selected by the Notifying Party. Within ten (10) days of
receipt of said demand, the Non-Notifying Party shall select its appraiser and notify the
Notifying Party, in writing, of the name, address and qualifications of an appraiser
selected by it. Within ten (10) days from the date the second appraiser shall have been
appointed, the two (2) appraisers so selected shall appoint a third appraiser. In the
event the two appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser
shall be appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of Santa Xxxxx or the head of the most local chapter of the
American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. If the Non-Notifying Party fails to select a
qualified appraiser within the ten day period provided above, the appraiser selected by
the Notifying Party shall be the sole appraiser used for determining the Fair Market
Rent.
B. The three (3) appraisers so selected shall meet in Santa Xxxxx County,
California, not later than twenty (20) days following the selection of the third appraiser.
At said meeting the appraisers so selected shall attempt to determine the Fair Market
Rent for the Premises for the Option Term in question.
C. If the appraisers so selected are unable to complete their determinations
in one meeting, they may continue to consult at such times as they deem necessary for a
fifteen (15) day period from the date of the first meeting, in an attempt to have at least
Page 20
two (2) of them agree. If at the initial meeting or at any time during said fifteen (15) day
period two (2) or more of the appraisers so selected agree on the Fair Market Rent for
the Premises, such agreement shall be determinative and binding on the parties hereto,
and the agreeing appraisers shall forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the
amount set by such agreement.
D. In the event two (2) or more appraisers do not so agree within said
fifteen (15) day period, then each appraiser shall, within five (5) days after the
expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, submit his or her independent appraisal in
simple letter form to Landlord and Xxxxxx stating his or her determination of the Fair
Market Rent for the Premises for the Option Term. The parties shall then determine the
Fair Market Rent for the Premises by determining the average of the Fair Market Rent
set by each of the appraisers; provided, however, that (i) if the lowest appraisal is less
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the middle appraisal, then such lowest appraisal shall
be disregarded; and/or (ii) if the highest appraisal is greater than one hundred fifteen
percent (115%) of the middle appraisal, then such highest appraisal shall be
disregarded. If any appraisal is so disregarded, then the average shall be determined by
computing the average set by the other appraisals that have not been disregarded.
E. Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by
or for it and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be borne fifty percent
(50%) by Landlord and fifty percent (50%) by Xxxxxx.
F. Tenant shall have the right to rescind its exercise of the Option if it does
not approve in writing the Fair Market Rent determined by appraisal, but in such case,
Tenant shall pay the costs of the appraisals. In the event Tenant rescinds its exercise of
the Option, the Lease shall be automatically extended for a period of one hundred
twenty (120) days from the date of Xxxxxx's written rescission at the rent then payable
under this Lease until the Expiration Date, and thereafter at the rate established by
appraisal until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period.
38. Quiet Enjoyment. Upon performing the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease and except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall quietly have and
hold the Premises for the Lease Term and any extensions thereof without interference
by Xxxxxxxx or any party claiming by or through landlord.
39. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represent that they have not utilized or
contacted a real estate broker or finder with respect to this Lease other than CPS
("Broker"). Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless
against any claim, cost, liability or cause of action asserted by any other broker or finder
claiming through the acts or conduct of the indemnifying party. Landlord shall pay the
commission or fee owing to Broker as agreed between Landlord and Broker pursuant to
a separate agreement between Landlord and Xxxxxx without contribution by Xxxxxx.
A. Corporate Authority: If Tenant is a corporation, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that he is

Xxxxxxxx's behalf represent and warrant that they have the requisite authority to sign

the Premises and is duly empowered to sign this Lease, and that the consent of no other
party is required to make this Lease binding on Landlord.
C. Landlord's Liability. If Xxxxxx should recover a money judgment against
Landlord arising in connection with this Lease, the judgment shall be satisfied only out
Page 21
of Landlord's interest in the Building including the improvements and real property
and neither Landlord nor any of its partners, officers, directors, agents, shareholders,
trustees or employees shall be liable personally for any deficiency. The foregoing
limitation on Landlord's liability shall not apply to Landlord's liability for Toxic
Materials pursuant to Paragraph 18 of this Lease.
42. Dispute Resolution: Any controversy, dispute, or claim of whatever nature
arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or
breach of this agreement, including any claim based on contract, tort, or statute, shall be
resolved at the request of any party to this agreement through a two-step dispute
resolution process administered by JAMS or another judicial and mediation service
mutually acceptable to the parties involving first mediation, followed, if necessary, by
final and binding arbitration administered by and in accordance with the then existing
rules and practice of the judicial and mediation service selected, and judgment upon
any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any State or Federal Court
having jurisdiction thereof.
A. Rights and Remedies: All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative
and not alternative to the extent permitted by law and are in addition to all other rights
and remedies in law and in equity.
B. Severability: If any term or provision of this Lease is held unenforceable

invalid or unenforceable term.
C. Choice of Law: This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with California law.
D. Interest: All sums due hereunder, including rent and additional rent, if

(10) days following Xxxxxxxx's written notice for such payment including interest from
the date of expenditure until paid.
