(a) Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following

any rights or remedies available in this Lease, at law or in equity. The
following shall be deemed to be Events of Default by Tenant under this Lease:
(i) Tenant shall fail to pay when due any rental or other sums
payable by Tenant hereunder (or under any other lease now or
hereafter executed by Tenant in connection with space at the
Property) and such failure is not cured within five (5) days
after written notice thereof.
(ii) Tenant shall fail to comply with or observe any other
provision of this
4
5
Lease (or any other lease now or hereafter executed by Tenant in
connection with space at the Property) if such failure is not
cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (or,
if the curing of such failure cannot be completed within said
thirty (30) day period, the Tenant does not diligently pursue the
curing of such default).
(iii) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(iv) Any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant or any
guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder under any section or
chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any
similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof;
or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed
thereunder.
(v) A receiver or Trustee shall be appointed for all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of
Tenant's obligations hereunder.
(vi) Tenant shall desert or vacate any portion of the premises.
In the event that Tenant does not pay when due any rental or
other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall be required to pay, in
addition to amounts then due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such
amounts then due, it being expressly agreed that such late charge shall become
due without notice if any payments of Annual Rental or other sums due hereunder
is not made on its due date. Lessor shall accelerate and declare the entire
remaining unpaid Rental and Additional Rental for the balance of this Lease to
be immediately due and payable forthwith, and may, at once, take legal action to
recover and collect the same.
(b) In addition to its other remedies, Landlord, upon an Event of
Default by Tenant, shall have the immediate right, after any applicable grace
and remove all persons and properties from the Premises and dispose of such
property as it deems fit, all without resort to legal process and without being
guilty of trespass or being liable for any damages caused thereby. If Landlord
re-enters the Premises, either with or without legal process, it may either
terminate this Lease or from time to time without terminating this Lease, make
such alterations and repairs as may be necessary or appropriate to relet the
Premises, and relet the Premises upon such terms and conditions as Landlord
deems advisable without any responsibility on Landlord whatsoever to account to
Tenant for any surplus rents collected. No retaking of possession of the
Premises by Landlord shall be deemed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention is given by Landlord to Tenant at the
time of re-entry; but, notwithstanding any such re-entry or reletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate for such
previous default. In the event of an elected termination by Landlord, whether
before or after re-entry, Landlord may recover from Tenant damages, including
the costs of recovering the Premises, and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord
for the total Annual Rental (which may at Landlord's election be accelerated to
be due and payable in full as of the Event of Default and
5
6
recoverable in damages in a lump sum) as would have been payable by Tenant
hereunder for the remainder of the term less the rentals actually received from
any reletting or, at Landlord's election, less the reasonable rental value of
the Premises for the remainder of the term. In determining the Annual Rental
which would be payable by Tenant subsequent to default, the Annual Rental for
each Lease Year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the Annual Rental
payable by Tenant for the last Lease Year prior to the default. If any rent
owing under this Lease is collected by or through an attorney, or if Landlord
enforces the obligations of Tenant through services of an attorney, Tenant
agrees to pay the Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees to the extent allowed by
applicable law.
18. SUBORDINATION. This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are
subject and subordinate to any deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of
security, as well as to any ground leases or primary leases, that now or

hereunder.

shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period for performance of any
such act shall be extended as necessary to complete performance after the delay
