RENT

	5.1	Payment of Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay the Base Rent for the Premises. Monthly Installments of Base Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term without any offset, notice or demand. If the Term begins (or ends) on other than the first (or last) day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Tenant shall pay Landlord the first Monthly Installment of Base Rent when Tenant executes the Lease.

	5.2	Adjusted Base Rent. The amount of Monthly Installments of Base Rent payable hereunder shall be as follows:

Months		Monthly Base Rent
1 - 12		$1,450.00
13-24		$1,450.00

	5.3	Definition of Rent. All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed additional rent (which, together with the Base Rent is sometimes refereed to as the “Rent”). The Rent shall be paid to the Building manager (or other person) and at such place, as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior demand therefore and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.

	5.4	Rent Control. If the amount of Rent or any other payment due under this Lease violates the terms of any governmental restrictions on such Rent or payment, the Rent or payment due during the period of such restrictions shall be the maximum amount allowable under those restrictions. Upon termination of the restrictions, Landlord shall, to the extent it is legally permitted, recover from Tenant the difference between the amounts received during the period of the restrictions and the amounts Landlord would have received had there been no restrictions.

6.	INTEREST AND LATE CHARGES

	If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowed by law. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Monthly Installment of Base Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in addition to interest, if any such installment is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days from the date it is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered from such nonpayment by Tenant. Acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such nonpayment by Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.

7.	SECURITY DEPOSIT

	Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth at Section 2n upon execution of this Lease, as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit. Tenant shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

	If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other amount when due and payable under this Lease, or fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may appropriate and apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for Rent payments or any other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any amount for which Landlord has become obligated as a result of Tenant’s default or breach, and for any loss or damage sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default or breach, and Landlord may so apply or use this deposit without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have by reason of Tenant’s default or breach. If Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefore, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited; Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for at Article 27 hereof. Within thirty (30) days after the Term (or any extension thereof) has expired or Tenant has vacated the Premises, whichever shall last occur, and provided Tenant is not then in default on any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, or, if Tenant has assigned its interest under this Lease, to the last assignee of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Regulations or other laws now or hereinafter in effect. If Landlord sells its interest in the Premises, Landlord may deliver this deposit to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest and thereupon be relieved of any further liability or obligation with respect to the Security Deposit.

8.	TENANT’S USE OF THE PREMISES

	Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Tenant’s Use Clause. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of law or any covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Building or Project or the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building or Project, and shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or the Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and/or any directions of any governmental agencies or authorities having jurisdiction which shall impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or its use or occupation. A judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant that Tenant has violated any such laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and/or directions in the use of the Premises shall be deemed to be a conclusive determination of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, extended coverage or other insurance policy covering the Building or Project and/or property located therein, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements and recommendations of the Insurance Services Office or any other organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.

Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device in the Premises, including without limitation, electronic data processing machines, punch card machines or machines using in excess of 120 volts, which consumes more electricity than is usually furnished or supplied for the use of premises as general office space, as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall not connect any apparatus with electric current except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises. Tenant shall not consume water or electric current in excess of that usually furnished or supplied for the use of premises as general office space (as determined by Landlord), without first procuring the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse, and in the event of consent, Landlord may have installed a water meter or electrical current meter in the Premises to measure the amount of water or electric current consumed.

If a separate meter is not installed, the excess cost for such water and electric current shall be established by an estimate made by a utility company or electrical engineer hired by Landlord at Tenant’s expense.

Nothing contained in this Article shall restrict Landlord’s right to require at any time separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises. In the event utilities are separately metered, Tenant shall pay promptly upon demand for all utilities consumed at utility rates charged by the local public utility plus any additional expense incurred by Landlord in keeping account of the utilities so consumed. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of any such meters at its sole cost.

	1.	Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

	2.	Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination, until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

	3.	Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term, after the time of award exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

	4.	Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b) maintaining the Premises after Tenant’s default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including brokers’ commissions.

“The worth at the time of the award” as used in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. “The worth at the time of the award” as used in subparagraph 3 above is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any term, covenant or condition unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such waiver.

27.3

Landlord’s Default.

If, after notice to Landlord of default, Landlord (or any first mortgagee or first deed of a trust beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure the default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure that default at Landlord’s expense. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

7	The foregoing parking rights are personal to Tenant and Tenant shall not have the right, power and/or authority to assign, convey, transfer, hypothecate or encumber said rights or any interest therein in any manner whatsoever. Any attempt by Tenant to do so shall be null and void and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a material default hereunder, and under the Lease; provided Tenant has not cured the default within the period, after notice, as specified in paragraph 27.1c. However, such parking rights may be transferred in whole or in part along with all or any portion of Tenant’s rights to the Premises that are assigned or sublet pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

Guarantor further covenants and agrees that this Guaranty and the full liability of Guarantor hereunder shall remain and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of any one or more of the following types of transactions (whether or not Guarantor shall have received any notice of or consented to any such transaction): (i) any renewal, extension, modification or amendment of said Lease; (ii) any assignment or transfer by Landlord; (iii) any assignment or transfer or subletting by Tenant; (iv) death of any party Tenant (who may be a natural person); (v) any dissolution of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation); or (vi) the fact that Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation) may be a party to any merger, consolidation or reorganization; provided however, if Tenant is a disappearing party in any such merger, consolidation or reorganization, then Guarantor shall thereupon automatically become primarily liable for the payment of all monetary obligations of Tenant under said Lease.

3. Failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or covenants of said Lease or to exercise of any right therein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such term, provision, covenant or right, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. Receipt by Landlord of rent (or any other monetary sum or acceptance of performance of any obligation of Tenant under said Lease) with knowledge of the breach of any provision of said Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. Waiver by Landlord of any right of Landlord against Tenant under said Lease shall not constitute a waiver as against Guarantor or in any other way inure to the benefit of Guarantor (unless Landlord agrees in writing that the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is thereby affected).

4. Guarantor further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from all loss, damage, cost and expense (including, without limitation, costs of court and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord) in the event of any default by Tenant under such Lease.

Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to first resort to any collateral for any obligation of Tenant as any nature of prerequisite or precondition to invoking or enforcing the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

9.

13. The stated rights of Landlord under this Guaranty shall be understood as not excluding any other legal or equitable rights of Landlord against Guarantor for obligations accruing not expressly set forth herein, but shall be understood as being cumulative to all such other legal and equitable rights of Landlord not expressly stated herein.
