reasonable estimation, to cost more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), Tenant shall

Tenant will meet its obligations under Paragraph 6.2(b) above. The financial assurances required
under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall take the form of a bond or letter of
-9-
credit in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to Landlord’s
reasonable estimate of the anticipated cost of the remedial action required under Paragraph 6.2(b)
hereof and shall be provided within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request.
(d) Upon Landlord’s request, from time to time (but not more frequently than four (4) times

mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever,
general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest

governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect
power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the
value, occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Leased Premises (as now constructed or as may
at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord’s interest

or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the property of Tenant situated within the Leased Premises
which become payable during the Lease Term if nonpayment thereof could give rise to a lien on the
Leased Premises.
8.4 Tax Segregation. In the event that the
Leased Premises are not separately taxed or assessed with
respect to any Real Property Tax, then such Real Property
Tax shall be equitably apportioned and allocated between the
Leased Premises and the other areas with which it is assessed, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay, pursuant to this
Article, only the proportion of such Real Property Tax which
is so allocated to the Leased Premises.
8.5 Tax Contest. In the event that Tenant shall
desire in good faith to contest or otherwise review by
appropriate legal or administrative proceeding any Real
Property Tax, Tenant shall, no later than ten (10) days
-12-
after Tenant receives notice of the Real Property Tax assessment Tenant desires to contest, give
Landlord written notice of its intention to do so. Tenant may withhold payment of the Real
Property Tax being contested if, but only if, both (i) nonpayment is permitted during the pendency
of such proceedings without the foreclosure of any tax lien or the imposition of any fine or
penalty and (ii) Tenant shall obtain and furnish Landlord with a bond or other security device
sufficient to protect Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises in an amount not less than one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount contested. Any such contest shall be prosecuted to
completion (whether or not this Lease shall have expired or terminated in the interim) and shall be
conducted without delay and solely at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord
against any and all expense, liability or damage resulting from such contest or other proceeding.
At the request of Tenant, Landlord shall join in any contest or other proceedings which Tenant may
desire to bring pursuant to this paragraph. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) arising out of such joinder. Within ten (10) days after the final
determination of the amount due from Tenant with respect to the Real Property Tax contested, Tenant
shall pay the amount so determined to be due, together with all costs, expenses and interest,
whether or not this Lease shall have then expired or terminated.
ARTICLE IX
INSURANCE
9.1 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall, at its own expense and cost, maintain the
following policies of insurance in full force and effect during the Lease Term and any Extension
Period:
(a) Property insurance insuring against loss or
damage resulting from all-risk perils with respect to the
building structures on the Leased Premises in an amount not
less than 100% of the full insurance replacement cost
thereof.
(b) Business interruption insurance insuring
against loss of income resulting from the same perils
described above in an amount not less than one year of total
Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent, calculated at the
rate payable during the next ensuing year of the Lease Term.
(c) Comprehensive general liability insurance
applying to the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, or
-13-
any part thereof, and the business operated by Tenant on the Leased Premises. Such insurance
shall include Broad Form Contractual liability insurance coverage insuring all of Tenant’s
indemnity obligations under this Lease. The general liability coverage shall have a minimum
combined single limit of liability of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) and a general
aggregate limit of two million dollars ($2,000,000) (except products liability as to which the
aggregate liability is $1,000,000). The Company will maintain a $1,000,000 all risks umbrella
policy. Such coverage may be subject to a deductible not in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000) (except for products liability coverage as to which the deductible shall be in a
reasonable and customary amount). All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily
injury, property damage, personal injury and other covered loss, however occasioned, occurring
during the policy term and shall be endorsed to add Landlord as an additional insured and to
provide that such coverage shall be primary and that any insurance maintained by Landlord shall be
excess insurance only. All such insurance shall provide for severability of interest; shall
provide that an act or omission of one of the named insureds shall not reduce or avoid coverage to
the other named insureds; and shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury
and damage, which claims occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole or in
part during the policy period. Tenant shall also maintain workers’ compensation insurance in
accordance with applicable law and employers’ liability insurance with coverage no less than that
customarily maintained by similar employers in the area.
9.2 Landlord’s Insurance. If at any time during
the Term the amount or coverage of any insurance which
Tenant is required to carry hereunder is, in Landlord’s
absolute discretion, less than the amount or type of
insurance coverage that Landlord believes appropriate,
Landlord shall have the right to obtain such other or
additional insurance as Landlord believes appropriate
(“Other Insurance”), and Tenant shall pay the cost of such
insurance as Additional Rent hereunder, to the extent the
cost of Other Insurance required under this Lease and under
all Other Leases (as defined in Paragraph 13.1(b) hereof)
does not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per year, in
the aggregate.
9.3 Policies. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord
on the date of this Lease and thereafter within thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of each such policy, certificates of insurance issued by the insurance carrier of each
policy of insurance carried by Tenant pursuant hereto
showing that all premiums have been paid for the full policy
-14-
period. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancellable or
subject to reduction of coverage or otherwise be subject to modification except after thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice to the parties named as insureds herein. Landlord, Landlord’s
successors and assigns and any nominee of Landlord holding any interest in the Leased Premises,
including the holder of any fee mortgage, shall be named as additional insureds under each policy
of insurance maintained by Tenant. All insurance policies carried by Tenant pursuant to this
Article IX shall be issued by insurance companies with a rating of “Good” or better as rated in
Best’s Insurance Guide. Any deductible amounts under any insurance policies required hereunder
shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. If Tenant shall fail to procure any
insurance required under this Lease or to deliver the certificates required under this Paragraph
9.3 Landlord may, at its option and in addition to Landlord’s other remedies in the event of a
default by Tenant hereunder, procure such insurance for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof
shall be paid to Landlord as additional rent on demand.
9.4 Release and Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereto release each other, and
their respective authorized representatives, from any claims for injury to any persons or damage to
property that are caused by or result from risks insured against under any insurance policies
carried by the parties and in force at the time of such damage, but only to the extent such claims
are covered by such insurance. This release shall be in effect only so long as the applicable
insurance policies contain a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect the right of
the insured to recover under such policies. Each party shall cause each insurance policy obtained
by it to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation
against either party in connection with any damage covered by such policy.
ARTICLE X
LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S
LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
10.1 Limitation on Landlord’s Liability. Except for loss proximately caused by
Landlord’s active negligence or willful misconduct, and then only to the extent such loss is not
covered by insurance actually carried or required to be carried pursuant to this Lease, Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any
abatement of rent, for any injury to Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees;
-15-
damage to Tenant’s property; or loss to Tenant’s business resulting from any cause, including
without limitation any (i) failure or interruption of any HVAC or other utility system or service;

Landlord, and its employees, agents and contractors, with competent counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord, from all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action,
claims and/or judgments arising by reason of any death, bodily injury, personal injury or property
damage (i) resulting from any cause or causes whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
passive negligence of Landlord or any agent of Landlord or Lender but excluding the active
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, any Lender or any agent of Landlord or Lender)
occurring in or about or resulting from an occurrence in or about the Leased Premises, or (ii)
resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees and
contractors, wherever the same may occur, or (iii) resulting from any failure by Tenant to perform
and observe its covenants and obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability
occurring prior to such expiration or sooner termination.
ARTICLE XI
DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES
11.1 Duty To Restore. If the Leased Premises are damaged by any casualty
after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall restore fully the Leased Premises to the condition
existing prior to such casualty (unless the Lease is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 11.2) and
insurance proceeds relating to such damage shall be used in the restoration of the Leased Premises.
If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon the issuance of all necessary governmental permits,
Tenant shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the Leased
Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition as that existing
immediately prior to such damage.
-16-
11.2 Tenant’s Right To Terminate.
(a) If any of the following occurs, Tenant shall
have the option to terminate this Lease, which option may be
exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice
of election to terminate within thirty (30) days after such
occurrence:
(i) The Leased Premises are damaged by any casualty and restoration cannot
be substantially completed within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date
of such damage; or
(ii) The Leased Premises are damaged by any casualty within twelve (12) months
of the last day of the Lease Term or any proper extension thereof and the restoration
cannot be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date
of such damage.
(b) As a condition precedent to termination of
the Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 11.2, all insurance
proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which
covers loss to property that is Landlord’s property or would
become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease
shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and,
if such insurance proceeds are insufficient to restore the
Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency to Landlord.
11.3 No Abatement of Rent. There shall be no
abatement of Base Monthly Rent or other sums due hereunder,
irrespective of any event of damage to the Leased Premises,
unless and until this Lease shall have terminated as a
result of such damage.
ARTICLE XII
CONDEMNATION
12.1 Definitions. As used in this Lease, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:
(a) The term “Condemnation” shall mean (i) any taking by the exercise of the power of eminent
domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by any person or entity having the legal power
to do so, (ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor, either under threat of
condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending, or (iii) any taking by
inverse condemnation.
-17-
(b) The term “substantially all” shall mean a
portion of the Leased Premises (that is, less than all of
the Leased Premises) which leaves remaining a balance that
may not be economically operated for the purpose for which
the Leased Premises was operated prior to the Condemnation
in question, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment.
(c) The term “less than substantially all” shall
mean a portion of the Leased Premises that is not all or
substantially all (as defined above) of the Leased Premises.
(d) The term “Date of Taking” shall mean the date
the condemnor has the right to possession of the property
being condemned.
(e) The term “Award” shall mean all compensation,
sums, or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a
total or partial Condemnation.
12.2 Total Condemnation. If all or substantially
all of the Leased Premises are taken by Condemnation, this
Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking.
12.3 Partial Condemnation. If less than substantially all of the Leased Premises are taken by Condemnation,
this Lease shall terminate as to the portion taken and
otherwise remain in full force and effect, except that the
amount of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder, from time to
time, shall be reduced, from and after the Date of Taking in
the same proportion as the Award bears to the fair market
value of the Leased Premises on the Date of Taking.
Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Leased
Premises, or otherwise compensate Tenant (except through
such rent reduction), in the event of such partial
Condemnation.
12.4 Temporary Taking. If all or substantially
all of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken by Condemnation for a period which either exceeds one (1) year or which
extends beyond the expiration of the Lease Term, then Landlord and Tenant shall each independently have the option to
terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is
taken by the condemnor. If any portion of the Leased
Premises is temporarily taken by Condemnation for a period
of less than one year, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect with no abatement of rent.
12.5 Division of Condemnation Award. Any Award
made as a result of any Condemnation of the Leased Premises
shall belong to and be paid to Landlord (except that any
Award for partial Condemnation described in Section 12.3
hereof shall be paid to Landlord net of reasonable
-18-
restoration expenses), and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and
interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any
condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant expressly (i) for the taking of personal
property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of Tenant’s business or
its moving costs, and/or (iii) for any temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated as a
result of such taking. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any Condemnation shall be
determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the provisions of any law
allowing either party to petition a court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking
of the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
13.1 Events of Default. Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this
Lease if any of the following events shall occur:
(a) Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly
Rent, Additional Rent, or any other rent or payment due
Landlord on the date due hereunder; provided that Landlord
shall give Tenant notice of such failure and three (3) days
to cure such failure; provided further that, if Landlord
gives any such notice, from time to time, then for the one
(1) year period thereafter Tenant shall be in default
immediately upon any failure to pay any such amount due
Landlord hereunder on the date such payment is due; or
(b) Any default by the Tenant shall have occurred
under any other Industrial Real Property Lease entered into
between Landlord and Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant (each
an “Other Lease”), unless at the time of such default either
(i) the original Landlord is either (A) no longer the owner of the fee estate in the Leased
Premises, or (B) no longer the owner of the fee estate in the premises leased under such other
lease, or (ii) the Continuing Lease Guaranty by Guarantor guarantying such Other Lease shall
have terminated in accordance with the terms of paragraph 6 thereof; or
(c) Tenant shall have failed to perform any term,
covenant, or condition of this Lease except those requiring
the payment of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or any
other rent or payment due Landlord, and Tenant shall have
failed to cure such failure within ten (10) days after
written notice from Landlord specifying the nature of such
-19-
breach, provided, however, that if any such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10)
day period then Tenant may have a reasonable period to cure such breach provided, however, that
Tenant commences to cure the breach within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion; or
(d) Tenant shall have made a general assignment
of its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or
(e) Tenant shall have sublet the Leased Premises
or assigned its interest in the Lease in violation of the
provisions contained in Article XIV, whether voluntarily or
by operation of law; or
(f) Tenant shall have permitted the sequestration
or attachment of, or execution on, or the appointment of a
custodian or receiver with respect to, all or any substantial part of the property of Tenant or on any property
essential to the conduct of Tenant’s business and Tenant
shall have failed to obtain a return or release of such
property within thirty (30) days thereafter, or prior to
sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy,
whichever is earlier; or
(g) Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased
Premises; or
(h) A court shall have made or entered any decree or order with respect to Tenant or Tenant
shall have submitted to or sought a decree or order (or a petition or pleading shall have been
filed in connection therewith) which: (i) grants or constitutes (or seeks) an order for relief,
appointment of a trustee, or confirmation of a reorganization plan under the bankruptcy laws of the
United States; (ii) approves as properly filed (or seeks such approval of) a petition seeking
liquidation or reorganization under said bankruptcy laws or any other debtor’s relief law or
statute of the United States or any state thereof; or (iii) otherwise directs (or seeks) the
winding up or liquidation of Tenant; and such petition, decree or order shall have continued in
effect for a period of thirty (30) or more days.
13.2 Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall have
the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by any Law or
otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the
alternative:
(a) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce all of its
rights and remedies under the Lease, including (i) the right to recover
-20-
the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action, and (ii) the right to
invoke the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its
obligations under this Lease.
(b) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, terminate this Lease and re-enter the Leased Premises by giving
Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this
Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination
in such notice. Any termination under this subparagraph
shall not relieve Tenant from the payment of any sums then
due Landlord or from any claim against Tenant for damages or
rent previously accrued or then accruing. In no event shall
any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the
absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this
Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease:
(i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s
interest hereunder;
(ii) Consent or refusal to consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or
assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or
otherwise; or
(iii) Any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s agents intended to mitigate
the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including without
limitation any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises or any
action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portions thereof, for the account of
Tenant and in the name of Tenant.
(c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and
abandons the Leased Premises, this Lease shall not terminate
unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its election
to so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of
Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such
breach, including those described by subparagraphs (b)(i),
(ii) and (iii) immediately preceding, shall constitute a
termination of Tenant’s right to possession unless Landlord
gives Tenant written notice of termination. Should Landlord
not terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice,
Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this
Lease, including the recovery of rent as it becomes due
under the Lease.
(d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease,
Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to
damages as provided under applicable law or as set forth in
these subparagraphs 13.2(d)(i)-(iii). For purposes of
-21-
computing such damages (i) an interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (or the maximum
rate allowed by law if such rate is less than 15% per annum) shall be used where permitted, and
(ii) rent due under this Lease shall include Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and all other rent
or other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, prorated on a monthly basis where necessary to
compute such damages. Such damages shall include without limitation:
(i) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time
of award plus one percent (1%); and
(ii) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease or for expenses incurred by Landlord in performing Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom, including, without limitation, the following: (a) expenses for cleaning,
repairing or restoring the Leased Premises; (b) expenses for altering, remodeling or
otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting, including
installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a
reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (c)
broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises;
(d) costs of carrying the Leased Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums,
utilities and security precautions; (e) expenses in retaking possession of the Leased
Premises; (f) attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking
possession of the Leased Premises and in reletting the Leased Premises; and (g) the
portion of any brokerage commission paid by Landlord in procuring this Lease
attributable to the remaining balance of the Lease Term.
(iii) For purposes of this Article, the rent due for any calendar month after
which Tenant has terminated the operation of its business as herein specified or has
abandoned the Leased Premises shall be deemed to be the average monthly rent,
including the Base Monthly Rent and all additional
-22-
rent hereunder, which were due for the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to
such termination or for such shorter period of time as this Lease shall have been in
effect.
(e) Nothing in this paragraph shall limit Landlord’s right to indemnification from Tenant
as provided in Paragraph 10.2.
13.3 Landlord’s Right To Cure. All covenants and
agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under any of
the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of
rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money required
to be paid by it hereunder (other than Monthly Rent and
Additional Rent payable under this Lease) or shall fail to
perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder
(whether such payment or performance is due to Landlord or
any third party), Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to,
and without waiving any default of Tenant or releasing
Tenant from any obligations to Landlord hereunder, make any
such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part
to be made or performed as in this Lease provided (including
but not limited to Tenant’s obligations pursuant to Paragraphs 4.2, 6.1 and 6.2 hereof). All sums so paid by
Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with
interest thereon at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per
annum (or the maximum rate allowed by law if such rate is
less than 15% per annum) from the date of such payment by
Landlord, shall be paid to Landlord forthwith on demand, and
Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies (including,
but not limited to, Landlord’s remedies under Paragraph 13.5
hereof) in the event of nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in
the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent.
13.4 Waiver. One party’s consent to or approval
of any act by the other party requiring the first party’s
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary the first party’s consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by
Landlord of any rent or payment with or without knowledge of
the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be deemed
a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon
any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair
such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such
breach theretofore or hereafter occurring. The waiver by
either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the same or any other provisions herein contained.
-23-
13.5
Late Charge. In the event any amount of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent
or any other payment due Landlord hereunder shall remain unpaid for five (5) calendar days after
such amount becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without notice or demand, a late charge equal
to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount to partially compensate Landlord for its administrative
costs in connection with such overdue payment.
ARTICLE
XIV
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1
By Tenant. The following provisions shall apply to any assignment or
subletting by Tenant:
(a) Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or assign or encumber its interest in this
Lease, whether voluntarily or by operation of law without Landlord’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (i) it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold such consent if, on the date such
consent is requested, Tenant is in default hereunder, (ii) unless the proposed assignee is
substantially more solvent than Tenant and Guarantor (on a consolidated basis), it shall be
reasonable for Landlord to withhold such consent if, on the date Landlord’s consent is requested,
the Guaranty is no longer in full force and effect or if, on the date Landlord’s consent is
requested, the Guaranty provides materially less security to Landlord than it provided on the
Commencement Date, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, and (iii) it shall be unreasonable for
Landlord to withhold such consent as to an assignment to an affiliate of Tenant or a deemed assignment
under paragraph (e) below unless, in either case, the Guaranty is no longer in full force and
effect or Tenant is in monetary or material nonmonetary default hereunder. Any attempted
subletting, assignment or encumbrance without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable
and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder.
(b) Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred
by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested assignment,
subletting, transfer, change of ownership or hypothecation of the Leased Premises or Tenant’s
interest in this Lease. No such assignment, subletting, transfer, change of ownership or
hypothecation shall be effective until (i) Tenant shall have paid such costs and fees; (ii). each
such assignee or transferee
-24-
(excluding a subtenant) shall have agreed in writing for the benefit of Landlord to assume, to be
bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and (iii) an
executed copy of such sublease, assignment, encumbrance, or other agreement of transfer shall have
been delivered to Landlord.
(c) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of this Lease or to one or
more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment, encumbrances or subletting.
(d) No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of
its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to
be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting.
(e) Subject to Paragraph 14.1(a) above, if Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer in the aggregate
over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, shall be deemed a
voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.
The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of and the right to vote stock possessing
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital
stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. If Tenant is a
partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of any general
partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment.
(f) If Tenant transfers or assigns this Lease or all or part of its interest in this Lease in
accordance with this Article, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all net
consideration received by Tenant as a result of such assignment as and when received by Tenant.
If Tenant sublets all or part of the Leased Premises in accordance with this Article, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the positive difference, if any, between (i) all rent
and other consideration paid by the subtenant to Tenant less (ii) all costs incurred by Tenant
incident to the sublease agreement (including an amount equal to the resulting product of the rent
payable hereunder to Landlord by Tenant during the time period covered by such payments by the
subtenant times a fraction whose numerator
-25-
is the leasable area of that portion of the Leased Premises so sublet and whose denominator is
Tenant’s gross leasable area). Said consideration shall be payable to Landlord on the same basis,
whether periodic or in lump sum, that such consideration is paid to Tenant by its subtenant, and,
in calculating Landlord’s share of any periodic payments, all costs incurred by Tenant incident to
the sublease agreement (other than the payment of rent to Landlord hereunder) shall be amortized
over the term of the sublease. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to certify the
accuracy of the amount of compensation so paid and to conduct annual independent audits thereof at
Landlord’s sole cost.
14.2
By Landlord. Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to
transfer their interest in the Leased Premises and this Lease at any time and to any person or
entity. In the event of any conveyance of the Leased Premises and assignment by Landlord of this
Lease to another, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer,
the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any
further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the
Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer, and (ii) shall be relieved of
all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued
before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such obligations of
the Landlord hereunder and such transferee is not substantially less solvent than Landlord. In the
event the Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises is transferred to multiple transferees, such
transferees shall designate, by a written notice to Tenant delivered upon such transfer, the name
and address of a single person to whom all rent and notices to be paid or given by Tenant hereunder
shall be addressed and who shall be the sole authorized party to give notices to Tenant hereunder;
Tenant’s payment of rent to such designated person shall satisfy Tenant’s obligation to pay rent to
Landlord; Tenant’s delivery of notices to such designated person shall constitute notice to
Landlord and Tenant may rely upon notices from such designated person as being notice from
Landlord. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the
transferee of such interest in the Leased Premises.

15.1
Surrender of the Leased Premises. Immediately prior to the
Expiration Date or upon the earlier
-26-
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Tenant’s Trade Fixtures and other personal
property and vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed
at the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises with all interior walls cleaned, all carpets
shampooed and cleaned, all HVAC equipment within the Leased Premises in operating order and in good
repair, and all floors cleaned, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. If Landlord so
requests, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, remove any Leasehold Improvements not constructed or installed in compliance with Paragraph
5.1 hereof designated by Landlord, and repair all damage caused by such removal. If the Leased
Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to
Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Leased Premises to the required
condition, plus interest, from the date of demand for payment of such costs to the date paid, on
all costs incurred at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (or the maximum rate allowed by
law if such rate is less than 15% per annum). Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or
liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises, including, without
limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or losses to Landlord due to lost
opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.
15.2
Holding Over. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Lease or duly
extended pursuant to Paragraph 16.10 hereof, this Lease shall terminate without further notice on
the Expiration Date. Any holding over by Tenant after termination of the Lease shall not constitute
a renewal or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except
as expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the consent of
Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions
herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an
amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Monthly Rent required during the last month
prior to such termination.

(or, if such be not the case, specifying all such defaults and failures, and the nature thereof, of
which such officer may have knowledge and the action proposed to be taken in respect thereof);
(d) Copies of all regular and periodic reports or other reports which Tenant or any subsidiary

Landlord may from time to time reasonably request.
16.2
Landlord’s Right To Enter. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter
the Leased Premises at all reasonable times, upon not less than one (1) business day’s notice, for
the purpose of (i) inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of nonresponsibility; (iii) exhibiting

“for sale” signs. Landlord shall not use, copy or publish any confidential or proprietary
information of Tenant’s obtained by Landlord in any such entry upon the Leased Premises and

16.3
Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to any underlying ground
leases, mortgages, charges and deeds of trust which affect the Leased Premises and are of public
record as of the Commencement Date, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such lease or any Lender
holding such mortgage, charge or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires
this Lease to be prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant,
Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which
Landlord or such lessor or Lender deems necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto. At
Landlord’s election, this Lease shall become and thereafter remain subject and subordinate to any
and all future mortgages, charges or deeds of trust affecting the Leased Premises which may
hereafter be executed and placed of public record after the Commencement Date, or any renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, for the full amount of all
advances made
-29-
or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or character of such advances, so long as
the Lender holding the security instrument to which this Lease is to be subordinated agrees that it
will recognize Tenant’s rights under this Lease and not disturb its quiet possession of the Leased
Premises so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. Tenant agrees, within ten (10) business
days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any
and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or such Lender as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgage, charge or deed
of trust; provided that such documents and instruments shall not impose upon Tenant obligations
other than those set forth in this Lease and further provided that Tenant has received or
contemporaneously receives a written document in form and substance reasonably sufficient to
evidence such Lender’s agreement to recognize Tenant’s rights as above provided.
16.4 Tenant’s Attornment. Tenant shall attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Leased
Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument
encumbering the Leased Premises, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in
lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease in effect on the date
hereof should such ground lease be terminated.
16.5 Estoppel Certificates. At all times during the Lease term, Tenant agrees,
following any request by Landlord (which requests Landlord agrees not to make more frequently than
four (4) times in any twelve (12) month period), to promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an
estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or,
if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so
modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges
are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or if there are uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord, stating the nature of such uncured defaults, and (iv) certifying such other information
about the Lease as may be reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to deliver an estoppel
certificate (or other response to Landlord’s request therefor, if such certificate cannot
practicably be given) within ten (10) business days after delivery of Landlord’s request therefor
(unless such request was not actually received by Tenant) shall be a conclusive admission by Tenant
that, as of the date of the request for such statement, (i) this Lease is unmodified except as may
be represented by Landlord in said
-30-
request and is in full force and effect, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s
performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid in advance.
16.6
Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts,
inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable
substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil
commotion, fire or other acts of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party
obligated to perform (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance, for a period equal
to the period of any said prevention, delay or stoppage, of any obligation hereunder except the
obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other sums due hereunder.
16.7
Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this Lease shall
be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of personal service may be given by mail.
If served by mail, such notice shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the fifth (5th) business
day after mailing if such notice was deposited in the United States mail, certified and postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to be served at its address first above set forth and (ii) in
all other cases when actually received. Either party may change its address by giving notice
of same in accordance with this paragraph.
16.8
Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party shall bring any action or legal
proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate
this Lease or to otherwise enforce, protect or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or
right of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action
or proceedings, or in a separate action brought for that purpose, all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action or proceedings and in any appeal in
connection therewith.

16.10
Option To Extend. Provided there exists no uncured default by Tenant under this
Lease, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Lease Term for three (3) successive periods of
five (5) years each (each such period is herein referred to as an “Extension Period”). Tenant may
exercise its option with respect to the first extension period by written notice to the Landlord
given not later than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date and with respect to each
succeeding Extension Period not later than nine (9) months prior to expiration of the Extension
Period then in effect. Each such extension shall be upon all the same terms and conditions
specified in this Lease except that Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted as provided in paragraph
16.11 hereof.
16.11
CPI Rent Adjustment. Commencing with the first CPI Adjustment Date and
thereafter on each successive CPI Adjustment Date the Base Monthly Rent payable pursuant to

for which the Consumer Price Index is published immediately preceding the CPI Adjustment Date in
question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Base Monthly Rent after any CPI

twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Monthly Rent for the month immediately preceding such CPI
Adjustment Date.
16.12
Brokerage Commissions. Tenant and Landlord each warrants to the other that it
has not had any dealings
-32-
with any real estate brokers or salesmen or incurred any obligations for the payment of real estate
brokerage commissions or finder’s fees which would be earned or due and payable by reason of the
execution of this Lease.
16.13
Termination by Exercise of Option. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to its
terms by the proper exercise of an option to terminate specifically granted to Landlord or Tenant
by this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate fifteen (15) days after the date the option to
terminate is properly exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of the Lease
creating the option, in which event the date so specified for termination shall prevail), the rent
and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of termination, and neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease except for those
that have accrued prior to the date of termination.
16.14 Guaranty. Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be guaranteed by Palco
Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (“Palco” or the “Guarantor”), pursuant to a Continuing
Lease Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) of even date herewith attached as Exhibit C hereto. Tenant shall
cause Guarantor to execute and deliver the Guaranty to Landlord on the date hereof. The Guaranty
shall remain in full force and effect during the entire Lease Term irrespective of any transfer or
assignment of this Lease or any interest of Tenant therein or in the Leased Premises.
16.15
Memorandum of Lease. On the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and file for recordation a memorandum of this Lease substantially in the form
of Exhibit D attached hereto.
16.16
Entire Agreement. This Lease, the Exhibits attached to this Lease (which by this
reference are incorporated herein), and the Guaranty are the entire agreement between the parties
respecting the Leased Premises. Except as otherwise provided in any addendum or amendment to this
Lease, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agent(s) has made any
representation or warranty as to (i) whether the Leased Premises may be used for Tenant’s intended
use under existing Law or (ii) the suitability of the Leased Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s
business or the condition of any improvements located thereon. Tenant expressly waives all claims
for damage by reason of any statement, representation, warranty, promise or other agreement of

amendment hereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, no subsequent
-33-
change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the parties
hereto.

illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other
provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of
the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease. The captions used in
this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of any provision hereof. Any executed copy of this Lease shall be deemed an original
for all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind
the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.
This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. The
language in all parts of this Lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its
fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant. When the context of this
Lease requires, the neuter gender includes

CONTINUING LEASE GUARANTY
THIS
GUARANTY, made as of June ___, 1988, by PALCO ACQUISITION COMPANY, (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of NATIONAL WAREHOUSE INVESTMENT
COMPANY, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”),
W I T N E S S E T H:
1. For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, and to induce Landlord to
enter into that certain Industrial Real Property Lease of even date herewith (the “Lease”) between
Landlord, as landlord, and Xxxxxx Equipment Company, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), as tenant,
relating to certain premises commonly known as Airport Road, Denton, Texas, Guarantor hereby
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord, and agrees fully to pay,
perform and discharge, as and when payment, performance and discharge are due, all of the
covenants, obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease and all written amendments,
modifications, renewals, extensions, supplements, substitutions and replacements of the Lease (the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable and shall continue and remain in full force and effect until all of
the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, performed and discharged.
2. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected, modified or
impaired by the occurrence of any of the following events, whether or not with notice to, or the
consent of, Guarantor: (a) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or termination of
any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) the failure to give notice to Guarantor of the
occurrence of an event of default under the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the extension of the time
for the payment, performance or discharge of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) the
amendment or modification (whether material or otherwise) of the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations in any respect (provided that, except with Landlord’s consent, no such amendment or
modification entered into after Tenant has assigned the Lease to an unaffiliated third party shall
be binding on Landlord to the extent Landlord’s obligations hereunder would be increased thereby);
(e) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Landlord to enforce, assert or exercise any
right, power or remedy conferred on Landlord under the Lease; (f) the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets,
marshalling of assets
Denton, TX | ||
-1-
|
and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or adjustment of debts, or other similar
proceedings affecting Tenant or Guarantor or any of the assets of either of them; (g) the release
or discharge by operation of law of Tenant from the payment, performance or discharge of any or all
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) the release or discharge by operation of law of Guarantor from
any or all of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty; (i) the invalidity or
unenforceability of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (j) any assignment of the Lease
(except as otherwise provided in paragraph 6 hereof) or any subletting of all or any portion of the
leased premises. Guarantor acknowledges that Landlord would not enter into the Lease without this
Guaranty and that Landlord is relying on this Guaranty.
3. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Guarantor agrees that Landlord shall have the right to proceed against Guarantor
directly and independently of Tenant. A separate action may be brought and prosecuted against
Guarantor whether or not an action is brought against Tenant or Tenant is joined in any such
action. Guarantor authorizes Landlord and Tenant, without notice to, demand of, or consent from
Guarantor and without releasing or affecting Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time
to time to amend, modify, renew, extend, supplement or replace the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise change the terms of the Lease or the Guaranteed Obligations (provided
that no such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, replacement or change which is not in
writing, or which is entered into, without Landlord’s consent, after Tenant has assigned the Lease
to an unaffiliated third party, shall be binding on Guarantor to the extent Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder are increased thereby), to take and hold security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and to
enforce, waive, surrender, impair, compromise or release any such security or any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any person or entity liable for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Guarantor shall be and remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such act or omission by
Tenant or Landlord. Guarantor waives all rights to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant, to
proceed against or exhaust any security held by Landlord, or to pursue any other remedy in
Landlord’s power. Landlord shall have the right to exercise any right or remedy it may have against
Tenant or any security held by Landlord. Guarantor waives all rights, if any, to the benefit of, or
to direct the application of, any security held by Landlord. Guarantor waives (a) any defense
arising out of any written amendment, modification, renewal, extension or replacement or other
change to the Guaranteed
Denton, TX | ||
-2-
|
Obligations, (b) any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Tenant or any security
held by Landlord, and (c) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of
Tenant or by reason of the cessation or reduction from any cause whatsoever of the liability of
Tenant other than full payment, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed
Obligations. The cessation or reduction of the liability of Tenant for any reason other than full
payment, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not release or affect in any
way the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
4. If Tenant becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for
reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or any other state or federal insolvency law, or if such a petition is
filed against Tenant, or Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, and in any
such proceeding any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated or rejected or any or all
of the Guaranteed Obligations are modified or abrogated, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s
liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in
full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred. This Guaranty shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations must be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
Tenant, Guarantor, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.
5. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping Guarantor informed of the
financial condition of Tenant and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of failure to
pay, perform or discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations which diligent inquiry would reveal,
and Guarantor agrees that Landlord has no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Landlord
regarding such condition or any such circumstance. Guarantor acknowledges that repeated and
successive demands may be made and payments or performance made hereunder in response to such
demands as and when, from time to time, Tenant defaults in the payment, performance or discharge of
the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding any such payments and performance hereunder, this
Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to any and all subsequent defaults
by Tenant. It is not necessary for Landlord to inquire into the capacity, authority or powers of
Tenant or the partners, directors, officers, employees or agents acting or purporting to act on
behalf of Tenant, and all of
Denton, TX | ||
-3-
|
the Guaranteed Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the purported exercise of
such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. Guarantor hereby subordinates all indebtedness of Tenant
to Guarantor now or hereafter held by Guarantor to all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord.
6. This Guaranty shall terminate prior to the full payment, performance and discharge of all
of the Guaranteed Obligations if, but only if, (a) without violating any of the terms and
conditions of Section 14.1 of the Lease, all of the Tenant’s rights, title and interests in, to and
under the Lease are assigned to, and assumed by, an assignee whose Average Annual Cash Flow (as
defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) for the three calendar years prior to the calendar year
during which such assignment becomes effective was not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Average Annual Cash Flow of Tenant and Guarantor, determined on a consolidated basis, during
the period determined as provided on Exhibit A, and (b) Tenant and/or such assignee shall provide
to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence that the condition in subparagraph (a) above is
satisfied. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Landlord shall promptly execute and
deliver to Guarantor a document reasonably satisfactory to Guarantor confirming the termination of
this Guaranty.
7. If Tenant and Guarantor fail to pay, perform and discharge, as and when payment,
performance and discharge are due, all of the Guaranteed Obligations, Landlord shall have the
right, but no obligation, and without releasing Tenant or Guarantor from any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, to pay, perform and discharge any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations on behalf of
Tenant and Guarantor. Guarantor shall, on demand, pay to Landlord all sums expended by Landlord in
the payment, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations, together with interest on all
such sums from the date of expenditure to the date all such sums are paid by Tenant or Guarantor to
Landlord at the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law for business loans (not primarily for
personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law on such date of expenditure,
or, if there is no such maximum annual interest rate, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance,
protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty.
Guarantor agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which are
incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this Guaranty. If any provision of this Guaranty is held
to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Guaranty shall not be affected. This Guaranty may

-4-
|
not be amended or modified in any respect except by a written instrument signed by Guarantor and
Landlord. As used in this Guaranty, the singular shall include the plural. This Guaranty shall bind
and inure to the benefit of Guarantor and Landlord and their respective transferees, personal
representatives, heirs, successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. The address of Guarantor is set forth below.
