damage covered by such insurance which may be inflicted upon the property of such party even if
such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party, its
agents or employees; provided, however, that this release shall be effective only with respect to
loss or damage occurring during such time as the appropriate policy of insurance shall contain a
clause to the effect that this release shall not affect said policy or the right of the insured to
recover thereunder. If any policy does not permit such a waiver, and if the party to benefit
therefrom requests that such a waiver be obtained, the other party agrees to obtain an endorsement
to its insurance policies permitting such waiver of subrogation if it is available.

9.1
Tenant’s Obligations. Except for Landlord’s obligations set forth in this Lease, and
subject to the provisions of this Lease relating to damage and destruction, condemnation,
and surrender of the Premises, Tenant accepts the Premises in its “AS-IS” condition as of the
execution of this Lease. Tenant shall keep in good order and condition the interior of the Premises
including but not limited to all fixtures, interior walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors,

extinguisher equipment in the Premises. All repairs made by Tenant shall be done in a good and

of the Premises, HVAC System, replacement if required of electric service, underground lines, sewer
and plumbing as well as provide janitorial service for the Premises.
9.3 Entry by Landlord. Landlord and Landlord’s agents may enter the Premises at all reasonable
times after reasonable advance notice (except in an emergency) for any purpose related to this
lease, including without limitation, of making repairs required of Landlord hereunder, and, during
the last (180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, as the same may be extended, for the
purpose of placing upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “to let” or “to lease” signs.
If Tenant fails to perform any obligation with respect to the Premises or the Property as set
forth in this Lease and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice
from Landlord of the need for such repair, Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any
liability or obligation, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligation, and all
sums actually paid or incurred by Landlord in performing such obligation, shall be treated as rent

Landlord’s option be removed from the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost.
l1.2 Mechanics’ Liens. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written
notice of commencement of work in the Premises so that Landlord may post notices of
nonresponsibility in or upon the Premises as provided by law. Tenant shall promptly pay any

the Property so as to minimize the possibility of a lien attaching to the Premises or the
Property.

all liability and expenses resulting from the presence, removal, or remediation of any

not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, generated,
released into the environment or disposed of, on, in, under or about the Leased Premises
including the Land and Common Areas excluding nominal amounts of ordinary office and household
cleaners, solvents, lubricants and other supplies so long as used, stored and disposed of in
compliance with law.
| 12. | Damage by Fire or Other Casualty. |
12.1
Landlord’s Duty to Restore. If the Premises are damaged by any peril after the
Commencement Date of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the Leased Premises unless the Lease is
terminated by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 12.2 or by Tenant pursuant to paragraph 12.3. All
insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance carried by Landlord
pursuant to paragraph 7.1 shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is
not so terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by
insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord 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 in which the Leased Premises were immediately
prior to such damage.
12.2
Landlord’s Right to Terminate. Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease
in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to
Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within sixty (60) days after the date of
such damage:
A. The Premises is damaged by any peril either (i) covered by the type of insurance
Landlord is required to carry pursuant to paragraph 7.1 or (ii) covered by valid and
collectible insurance actually carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage or
destruction, to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Premises equals or
exceeds fifty
percent (50%) of the then replacement value excluding foundations thereof;
B. The Premises is damaged by any peril both (i) not covered by the type of insurance
Landlord is required to carry pursuant to paragraph 7.1 and (ii) not covered by valid and
collectible insurance actually carried by Landlord and in force at
the time of such damage or
destruction, to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Premises equals or exceeds
ten percent (10%) of the then replacement value excluding foundations thereof plus any sums which
Tenant may, in its sole discretion, elect to contribute to the costs of repair.
C. The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve (12) months of the last day of
the Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant,
the Leased Premises cannot be substantially restored within sixty (60) days after all necessary
governmental approvals for such construction have been obtained.
D. The Premises is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws then in force, (i) may not
be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the same condition in which it was prior to such
damage, or (ii) may not be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage whether or
not restored as required by this Article.
12.3
Tenant’s Right to Terminate: If the Leased Premises are damaged by any peril
and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate
this Lease pursuant to paragraph 12.2, then as soon as reasonably practicable,
Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or
construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be
completed. Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the event any of
the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a
written notice of election to terminate within seven (7) days after Tenant receives
from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:
A. The Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s
architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially
completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of such damage; or
B. The Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve (12) months of the last day of the
Lease Term and in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant the
restoration of the Premised cannot be substantially completed within sixty (60) days after the
date of such damage.
12.4 Abatement of Rent. In the event of damage to the Premises the Minimum Monthly Rent and
any Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated during the period from the date of damage
to the date of termination (if this Lease is terminated as a result of such damage) or to the
date on which the restoration is substantially completed (if this Lease is not so terminated) in
proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired by such damage and
restoration. There will be no Abatement of Rent in the event of damage attributable to Tenant’s
negligence or willful acts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any gross compensation or damages from
Landlord for loss of Tenant’s property or any inconvenience or annoyance caused by such
restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933,
Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter
enacted.
| 13. | Condemnation. |
13.1 Partial or Total Taking. If all of the Premises or real property or Common Area are taken
by a condemnation or sold under the threat of condemnation, then this Lease shall terminate on the
date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than
twenty percent (20%) of the Premises or real property is taken by a condemnation or sold under the
threat of condemnation, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first, by delivering written
notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority takes possession).
If there is a condemnation and this Lease has not been terminated pursuant to this Section
13.1, then on the date upon which the condemnor takes possession, the obligations of Landlord and
Tenant under this Lease shall be unaffected by such condemnation, except that Minimum Monthly Rent
and any additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be
reduced in proportion to the square footage of floor area, if any, of the Premises or property
taken by such condemnation. Landlord shall repair damage to the Premises and Property caused by
the condemnation (except that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage for which Tenant
has been reimbursed by the condemning authority).
13.2
Condemnation Award. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award in any condemnation
proceeding or other proceeding for taking for public or quasi-public use, including, without
limitation, any award made for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease and
Alternations which are the property of Landlord. No award for any partial or entire taking shall
be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award that may be made in such
condemnation or other taking, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising
in or to same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord, any award
made to Tenant specifically for its relocation expenses, the taking of personal property and trade
fixtures belonging to Tenant, or the
interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business if such award is made separately to Tenant and
not as part of the damages recoverable by Landlord. Tenant shall not have the right to make a claim
for any other award including the bonus value of the lease.
14. Assignment And Subletting.
14.1
Consent Requirements. Subject to Section 14.2 below, Tenant shall not transfer this
Lease, voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree
that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment
of this Lease or subletting of the Premises after consideration of reputation and/or if Landlord
reasonably determines that the financial strength of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not
equivalent or greater than the financial strength of Tenant as of the date of this Lease. In
addition if the rent to be paid by the proposed assignee or subtenant is greater than the rent
being paid by Tenant, Landlord shall receive 100% of said increased rent. Any transfer without
Landlord’s consent (if required as provided herein) shall be void at the option of Landlord, and
Landlord may exercise any or all of its rights under Section 17 hereof.
14.2 Assignment/Sublet to Affiliate. Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the
Premises, without Landlord’s consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from the merger of or
consolidation with Tenant (“Tenant’s Affiliate”). In such case, Tenant’s Affiliate shall assume in
writing Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
14.3 No Release of Tenant. Notwithstanding the above, no assignment of this Lease, sublease of
the Premises or Landlord’s consent to the same shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay
Minimum Monthly Rent and additional rent or other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease, and to perform all 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 transfer.
15. Subordination and Non-Disturbance; Transfer of Property.
15.1 Subordination and Non-Disturbance. This Lease, at the option of any mortgagee of the
Property, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other
hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Property and to any and all advances
made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the above, such subordination shall not affect Tenant’s right
to quiet possession of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default and so long
as Tenant shall pay Minimum Monthly Rent and any additional rent and all other charges payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and shall otherwise observe and perform all the provisions of
this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably and customarily required to
effectuate such subordination. Tenant shall attorn to any purchaser at any foreclosure sale, or to any grantee or transferee
designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure, provided
that Tenant receives a customary
non-disturbance agreement executed and acknowledged by such purchaser, grantee or transferee.
15.2 Transfer of Property. If, during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall sell its
interest in the Premises, then, provided that Landlord’s transferee enters into a written
agreement by which it assumes and agrees to perform all of Landlord’s future obligations hereunder
in favor of Tenant, from and after the effective date of the sale or conveyance, Landlord shall be
released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease.
Landlord may transfer and/or deliver the Security Deposit, if any, to the purchaser of the
reversion, if the reversion is sold, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further
liability in reference thereto.
16. Surrender and Holdover.
16.1 Surrender. Subject to the terms of Sections 12 and 13 hereof, at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term hereof, Tenant shall yield up the Premises, clean and neat, and in
substantially the same condition, order and repair in which they are required to be kept throughout
the Term hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
16.2 Holding Over. If Tenant, with or without Landlord’s consent or approval shall continue to
occupy the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or any renewal thereof,
such occupancy shall be deemed to be under a month-to-month tenancy under the same terms and
conditions set forth in this Lease; except, however, that the Minimum Monthly Rent then in effect
shall be increased by twenty percent (20%) at the commencement of any such holdover period.
17.
Default and Remedies Upon Default.
17.1 Default by Tenant. At Lessor’s election, the occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Any failure by Tenant to pay Minimum Monthly Rent, or to make any other payment required
to be made by Tenant hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord;
(b) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;
(c) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such
that the same cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period allowed, Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall, within such thirty (30) day period, commence to
cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion;
(d) Either (1) the appointment of a receiver (except a receiver appointed at the instance
or request of Landlord) to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of
Tenant, (2) a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (3) any
petition for adjudication of bankruptcy filed by or against Tenant under any bankruptcy act
which is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days.
17.2 Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant which is not cured after
notice and the expiration of such cure periods as specified in this Lease, then Landlord
shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder
by giving written notice to Tenant of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord
shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages
suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default, including the worth at the time of award
(computed in accordance with Section 1951.2 (a) (3) of the California Civil Code) of the amount
by which the unpaid Minimum Monthly Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such Minimum Monthly Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided, in addition to such other rights and remedies available for such default under law or
in equity. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may from time to time,
without terminating this Lease, either recover all Minimum Monthly Rent as it becomes due or if
Tenant has vacated the Premises, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms
and at such rent and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably deem
advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.
17.3
Default By Landlord. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of any
actual or alleged failure, breach or default by Landlord hereunder pertaining to the Premises
or the Property, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such default and Landlord shall
not be deemed in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to diligently commence to cure such
default within thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice and thereafter
diligently prosecuted the same to completion.

18.7 Indemnification. Subject to and in conjunction with Section 7.2 above, Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord and save Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims, or liability in
connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property caused to any person in or
about the Premises from whatever cause, in any way connected with Tenant’s use or possession of
the Premises, including any liability for injury, death, loss or damage to Tenant, or its
agents, contractors,
officers, employees, customers, visitors, and persons with whom they deal. Tenant agrees to defend
(with counsel approved by Landlord), indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and
against any and all claims, damages, expenses, (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
charges), suits, losses and liabilities for any death, injury, damage or loss caused by,
arising from or connected with performance of this Lease or any breach by Tenant of any
obligation under this Lease, or the use of the Premises or the exercise of any rights hereunder, by
Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, officers, employees, customers or visitors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this provision shall render Tenant liable for any loss or
damage to property or for injury, including death, to persons to the extent caused out of the

unreasonably withheld or delayed.
19. Limitation of Liability. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant on
behalf of itself and all successors and assigns of Tenant covenants and agrees that, in the event
of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by
Landlord, Tenant’s recourse against Landlord for monetary damages will be limited to Landlord’s
interest in the Building including, subject to the prior rights of any Mortgagee, Landlord’s
interest in the rents of the Building and any insurance proceeds payable to Landlord.
