Upon termination of this Lease under Article Seven (Damage or
Destruction), Article Eight (Condemnation) or any other termination
not resulting from Tenant's default, and after Tenant has vacated

refined or credit to Tenant (or Tenant's successor) the unused
portion of the Security Deposit, any advance rent or other advance
payments made by Tenant to Landlord, any amounts paid for real
property taxes and other reserves which apply to any time periods
after termination of the Lease. Following the initial Lease Term,
and in the event Tenant has properly exercised its options to
extend the Lease as set forth in Section 1.15, in the event
Landlord determines that it desires to redevelopment either the
Project or the Premises, based upon a bona fide plan acceptable to
the Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease
conditioned upon the following: (a) the termination right shall
only become effective during an option period (said termination
rights shall not be available to Landlord during the initial Lease
Term); (b) Landlord shall provide written notice to the Tenant of
the exercise of the termination right thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of termination; (c) within thirty (30) days of
Landlord deriving at an acceptable redevelopment plan, or receiving
an acceptable letter of intent, offer, or similar memorandum of
interest concerning such plan of redevelopment of the Property,
Landlord shall inform Tenant, in writing, of such plan or interest
from a third party (the "ROFR Notice") and continue to update
Tenant on a monthly basis regarding the progress of any
negotiations; and (d) in the event Landlord ultimately desires to
exercise its termination right, Tenant shall have a right to
purchase the Premises ("Tenant's Right of First Refusal") on the
exact terms of sale being offered to Landlord in the event landlord
is selling the Premises. If Tenant does not exercise Tenant's Right
of First Refusal within ten (10) days of the Landlord's delivery of
the ROFR Notice described above, Landlord may proceed to terminate
the Lease and shall pay Tenant a maximum termination fee of Four
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00) amortized over sixty
(60) months. By way of example, in the event Landlord exercises the
termination right and the effective date of the termination is the
first day of the option term the termination fee would be Four
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00). If Landlord exercises
its termination right and the effective date of the termination is
half way through the option term, the termination fee would be Two
Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($225,000.00). For further
clarity, in the event the termination right is exercised and the
effective date of the termination is ninety percent (90%) of the
way through the option term, the termination fee would be
Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00) (the remaining 10% of the
full termination fee). Payment of the termination fee (if such
right is exercised) shall be made by Landlord in one (I) lump sum
payment. Tenant's Right of First Refusal shall be evidenced by a Memorandum of Right
of First Refusal
in a form acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, to be
executed by Tenant and Landlord and recorded in the official
records of the Xxxxx County Recorder concurrently with the
execution of this Lease.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord may not
exercise the termination right set forth in this Section 3.04 if
any of the anticipated future uses involves any marijuana related
business or establishment that exceeds up to twenty percent (20%)
of the Premises. The foregoing limitation shall terminate five (5)
years from the date Landlord exercises the termination right set
forth in this Section..

whene due, Landlord may pay the taxes and Tenant shall reimburse

to the indemnity under Section 5.05 result from the negligence of
Tenant. The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not limit
Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligation under

premiums. Tenant shall be liable for the payment of any deductible
amount under Landlord's or Tenant's insurance policies maintained
pursuant to this Section 4.04, in an amount not to exceed Five

anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance
policies.
(c) Payment
of Premiums. Subject to Section 4.08, Tenant shall pay all premiums
for the insurance policies described in Paragraphs 4.04(a) and (b)

after Tenant's receipt of a copy of the premium statement or other
evidence of the amount due, except Landlord shall pay all premiums
for non-primary comprehensive public liability insurance which
Landlord elects to obtain as provided in Paragraph 4.04(a). For
insurance policies maintained by Landlord which cover improvements
on the entire Project, Tenant shall pay Tenant's prorated share of
the premiums, in accordance with the formula in Paragraph 4.05(e)
for determining Tenant's share of Common Area costs. If insurance
policies maintained by Landlord cover improvements on real property
other than the Project, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
statement of the premium applicable to the Premises showing in
reasonable detail how Tenant's share of the premium was computed.

insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Section

policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal of such policy.

that the insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this
Section 4.04 is in full force and effect and containing such other
information which Landlord reasonably requires.

Insurance Provisions.
(i)
Any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain
under this Lease shall include
a provision which requires the insurance carrier to give Landlord
not less than thirty (30) days' written notice prior to any
cancellation or modification of such coverage.
(ii) If
Tenant fails to deliver any policy, certificate or renewal to
Landlord required under this Lease within the prescribed time
period or if any such policy is canceled or modified during the
Lease Tenn without Landlord's consent, Landlord may obtain such
insurance, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
cost of such insurance within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a
statement that indicates the cost of such
insurance.
(iii) Tenant
shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with
companies holding a "General Policy Rating" or A-12 or better, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best Key Rating Guide".
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the insurance markets are rapidly
changing and that insurance in the form and amounts described in
this Section 4.04 may not be available in the future. Tenant
acknowledges that the insurance described in this Section 4.04 is
for the primary benefit of Landlord. If at any time during the
Lease Term, Tenant is unable to maintain the insurance required
under the Lease, Tenant shall nevertheless maintain insurance
coverage which is customary and commercially reasonable in the
insurance industry for Tenant's type of business, as that coverage
may change from time to time. Landlord makes no representation as
to the adequacy of such insurance to protect Landlord's or Tenant's
interests. Therefore, Tenant shall obtain any such additional
property or liability insurance which Tenant deems necessary to
protect Landlord and Tenant

prohibited under any applicable insurance policies maintained,
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of
recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees,

loss or damage is covered by any insurance policy in force (whether
or not described in this Lease) at the time of such loss or damage.

Tenant shall give notice to the insurance carriers of this mutual
waiver of subrogation.

any reason (such as excessive utility use (10) any repair,
rebuilding or other work necessitated by condemnation, fire,
windstorm or other insured casualty or hazard; and (1 1) cost of
the initial stock of tools and equipment for operation, repair and
maintenance of the Premises/Common Areas.
(e) Tenant's
Share and Payment. Tenant shall pay Tenant's annual pro rata share
of all Common Area costs (prorated for any fractional month) upon
written notice from Landlord that such costs are due and payable,
and in any event prior to delinquency. Tenants pro rata share shall
be calculated by dividing the square foot area of the Premises, as
set forth in Section 1.04 of the Lease, by the aggregate square
foot area of the Project which is leased or held for lease by
tenants, as of the date on which the computation is made. Tenants
initial pro rata share is set out in Paragraph 1.12(b). Any changes
in the Common Area costs and/or the aggregate area of the Project
leased or held for lease during the Lease Term shall be effective
on the first day of the month after such change occurs. Landlord
may, at Landlords election, estimate in advance and charge to
Tenant as Common Area costs, all real property taxes for which
Tenant is liable under Section 4.02 of the Lease, all insurance
premiums for which Tenant is liable under Section 4.04 of the
Lease, all maintenance and repair costs for which Tenant is liable
under Section 6.04 of the Lease, and all other Common Area costs
payable by Tenant hereunder. At Landlord's election, such
statements of estimated Common Area costs shall be delivered
monthly, quarterly or at any other periodic intervals to be
designated by Landlord. Landlord may adjust such estimates at any
time based upon Landlord's experience and reasonable anticipation
of costs. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the next Rent
payment date after notice to Tenant. Within sixty (60) days after
the end of each calendar year of the Lease Term, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a statement prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles setting forth, in reasonable detail,
the Common Area costs paid or incurred by Landlord during the
preceding calendar year and Tenant's pro rata share. Upon receipt
of such statement, there shall be an adjustment between Landlord
and Tenant, with payment to or credit given by Landlord (as the
case may be) so that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of
Tenant's share of such costs and expenses for such period. Landlord
shall keep records showing all expenditures incurred as Common Area
costs, Landlord's Insurance and Real Property Taxes for each
calendar year for a period of one (1) year following each year, and
such records shall be made available for
inspection and photocopying by Tenant and/or its agents during
ordinary business hours in the city in which the Premises are
located. Any dispute with respect to Landlord's calculations of
Tenant's share of Common Area costs shall be resolved by the
parties through consultation in good faith within sixty (60 )days.
However, if the dispute cannot be resolved within such period, the
parties shall request an audit of the disputed matter from an
independent, certified public accountant selected by both Landlord
and Tenant, whose decision shall be based on generally accepted
accounting principles and shall be final and binding on the
parties. If there is a variance of seven percent (7%) or more
between said decision and the Landlord's determination, Landlord
shall pay the costs of said audit and shall credit any overpayment
toward the next rent payment falling due or pay such overpayment to
Tenant within thirty (30) days. If the variance is less than seven
percent (7%), Tenant shall pay the cost of said
audit.
(f) Cap on Controllable Common Area Costs.
Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for
Controllable Common Area Costs in any year to the extent they have
increased by more than five percent (5%) per annum, compounded
annually on a cumulative basis from the first full calendar year
following the Commencement Date during the Term. For purposes of
this Section, Controllable CommonArea Costs shall mean all Common
Area costs as set forth in this Section of the Lease, except for
taxes, insurance premiums, costs in connection with adverse weather
conditions (including, without limitation, snow removal), and
repairs or maintenance necessary exclusively as a result of
activities of Tenant or its agents at the Project and utility
costs. Controllable Common Area Costs shall be determined on an
aggregate basis and not on an individual basis, and the cap on
Controllable Common Area Costs shall be determined on Common Area
costs as they have been adjusted for vacancy or usage pursuant to
the terms of the Lease. In the event the original Premises is
expanded, the first full calendar year following any expansion
shall become the base year for the purposes of calculating the cap
on increases to Controllable Operating Expenses after any such
expansion date.
Section 4.06. Late Charges. Tenant's failure to pay Rent promptly
may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount
of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and
accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering
the Premises. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent
payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to one percent (I%) of the overdue
amount per each day such payment is late up to a maximum of ten
percent (10%) if such payment is ten (10) or more days late. The
parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of
such late payment.
Section 4.07. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any amount owed by
Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest
at the lesser of (i) the prime rate then in effect plus five
percent (5%) per annum; or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) from the due
date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late
charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of
interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by
Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this
Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate
is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by
law. As used herein, the term "prime rate" shall mean the prime
rate as published in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street
Journal; however, if such rate is, at any time during the term of
this Agreement, no longer so published, the term prime rate shall
mean the average of the prime interest rates which are announced,
from time to time, by the three (3) largest banks (by assets)
headquartered in the United States which publish a prime, base or
reference rate.
Section 44)8. Impounds for Insurance Premiums and Real Property
Taxes. If requested by any lender to whom Landlord has granted a
security interest in the Premises, or if Tenant is more than ten
(10) days late in payment of Rent more than once in any consecutive
twelve (12) month period,Tenant shall pay landlord a sum equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real property taxes and insurance
premiums payable by Tenant under this Lease, together with each
payment of Base Rent. Landlord shall hold such payments in a
non-interest bearing impound account. If unknown, Landlord shall
reasonably estimate the amount of real property taxes and insurance
premiums when due. Tenant shall pay any deficiency of funds in the
impound account to Landlord upon written request. If Tenant
defaults under this Lease, Landlord may apply any funds in the
impound account to any obligation then due under this
Lease.
ARTICLE FIVE: USE OF PREMISES
Section 5.01. Permitted Uses. Tenant may use the Premises only for
the Permitted Uses set forth in Section 1.06 above. To Landlord's
best knowledge and belief the Permitted Uses are not prohibited by
any CC&Rs, loan covenants, declarations, or any other document
or agreement which would preclude the use of the Premises for
marijuana related uses or which otherwise would prohibit any
uses.
Section 5.02. Manner of Use. Tenant shall not cause or permit the
Premises to be used in any way which constitutes a violation of any
law, ordinance, or governmental regulation or order, which annoys
or interferes with the rights of tenants of the Project, or which
constitutes a nuisance or waste. Tenant shall obtain and pay for
all permits, including a Certificate of Occupancy, required for
Tenant's occupancy of the Premises and shall promptly take all
actions necessary to comply with all applicable statutes,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements regulating
the use by Tenant of the Premises, including the Occupational
Safety and Health Act.
Section 5.03. Hazardous Materials. As used in this Lease, the term
"Hazardous Material" means any flammable items, explosives,
radioactive materials, hazardous or toxic substances, material or
waste or related materials, including any substances defined as or
included in the definition of "hazardous substances", "hazardous
wastes", "hazardous materials" or "toxic substances" now or
subsequently regulated under any applicable federal, state or local
laws or regulations, including without limitation petroleum-based
products, paints, solvents, lead, cyanide,. DDT, printing inks,
acids, pesticides, ammonia compounds and other chemical products,
asbestos, PCBs and similar compounds, and including any different
products and materials which are subsequently found to have adverse
effects on the environment or the health and safety of persons.
Except in instances where such use is reasonable or customary, as
defined below, for Tenant's Permitted Uses. Tenant shall not cause
or permit any Hazardous Material to be generated, produced, brought
upon, used, stored, treated or disposed of in or about the Premises
by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, sub-lessees or
invitees without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord
shall be entitled to take into account such other factors or facts
as Landlord may reasonably determine to be relevant in determining
whether to grant or withhold consent to Tenant's proposed activity
with respect to Hazardous Material. In no event, however, shall
Landlord be required to consent to the installation or use of any
storage tanks on the Premises. Reasonable and customary use shall
mean Tenant's use of chemicals, compounds, and materials in the
formulation and production of goods, which uses are both reasonable
and customary in the manufacturing industry, including marijuana
production facilities, and which Permitted Uses are permitted and
approved under applicable federal, state or local
laws.
Section 5.04. Signs
and Auctions. Landlord shall permit Tenant to install signage on
the Premises subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which
approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Additionally, at Tenant's cost, Tenant shall have the right to
place signage on the east face of the 3290 S. Highland building
(the wall that faces the common parking area of the Premises). Said
signage will be affixed in a manner deemed appropriate by the
Landlord to such standards as may be adopted by the Landlord in its
reasonable discretion. All such signage must be in compliance with
all State, County, Municipal and local codes and restrictions, as
applicable. Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs
related to said signage. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any
auctions or sheriffs sales at the Premises. Please see Exhibit "C"
attached.
Section
5.05. Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and hold
Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims or liability
arising from: (a) Tenant's use of the Premises; (b) the conduct of
Tenant's business or anything else done or permitted by Tenant to
be done in or about the Premises, including any contamination of
the Premises or any other property resulting from the presence or
use of Hazardous Material caused or permitted by Tenant; (c) any
breach or default in the performance of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease; (d) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by
Tenant under this Lease; or (e) other acts or omissions of Tenant.
Tenant shall defend Landlord against any such cost, claim or
liability at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Landlord or, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any legal fees or costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with any such claim. As a material part of the
consideration to Landlord, Tenant assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons in or about the Premises arising from
any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof
against Landlord, except for any claim arising out of Landlord's
gross negligence or wilful misconduct. As used in this Section, the
term "Tenant" shall include Tenant's employees, agents, contractors
and invitees, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained in
the foregoing, Tenant's
obligation to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless shall not
include any cost, claim or liability arising from, or in connection
with those specific environmental conditions disclosed by Landlord
in that certain Phase I Environmental Site Report conducted by SCS
Engineers (Project No. 01212007.00), dated February 8, 2012 and
that certain Ground Water Monitoring Report (201724) conducted by
OGI Environmental, dated January 10, 2018 (collectively the
"Identified Environmental Issues"). Landlord agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Tenant harmless from claims which may arise
directly from the Identified Environmental Issues. Additionally,
and except as otherwise herein provided, Landlord and its
successors and assigns shall indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant
harmless from and against any and all subterranean environmental
damages, including the cost of remediation, which result from
Hazardous Substances which existed in any subterranean portion of
the Premises prior to Tenant's occupancy, or which are caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents
or employees.
Section 5.06. Landlord's Access. Landlord or its agents may enter
the Premises at all reasonable times to show the Premises to
potential buyers, investors or tenants or other parties; to do any
other act or to inspect and conduct tests in order to monitor
Tenant's compliance with all applicable environmental laws and all
laws governing the presence and use of Hazardous Material; or for
any other purpose Landlord deems necessary. Landlord shall give
Tenant prior notice of such entry, except in the case of an
emergency. Landlord may place "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs on
the Premises upon the following conditions: (a) Tenant has notified
Landlord that it does not intend to exercise a renewal option; (b)
the period of time in which the Tenant was to have exercised a
renewal option has lapsed; (c) the Lease has otherwise been
terminated pursuant to the terms of the Lease; or (d) Tenant is in
the process of vacating or otherwise abandoning the Premises.
Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant will have certain obligations
relating to the Permitted Use which may limit Landlord's right to
access some or all of the Premises and which may require that the
Landlord is accompanied by a representative of Tenant during any
such access. Landlord shall comply with all of Tenant's security
protocols and requirements. Except in the case of emergency,
Landlord's access rights granted in this Section 5.06 shall be
further subject to all applicable regulations relating to the
Permitted Use.
Section 5.07. Quiet Possession. If Tenant is not in default of any
of the provisions hereof and pays all Rent and other charges
described herein and complies with all other terms of this Lease,
Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Premises for the MI Lease Term,
subject to the provisions of this Lease.
ARTICLE SIX: CONDITION OP' PREMISES: MAINTENANCE. REPAIRS AND
ALTERATIONS
Section 6.01. Existing Conditions. Tenant accepts the Premises in
its "AS IS", "WHERE IS" condition as of the execution of the Lease,
subject to all recorded matters, laws, ordinances, and governmental
regulations and orders. Except as provided herein, Tenant
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has
made any representation as to the condition of the Premises or the
suitability of the Premises for Tenant's intended use. Tenant
represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of
and inquiry regarding the condition of the Premises and is not
relying on any representations of Landlord or any Broker with
respect thereto.
Section 6.02. Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Landlord shall
not be liable for any damage or injury to the person, business (or
any loss of income therefrom), goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees, customers or any
other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or
injury is caused by or results from: (a) fire, steam, electricity,
water, gas or rain; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c)
conditions arising in or about the Premises or upon other portions
of the Project, or from other sources or places; or (d) any act or
omission of any other tenant of the Project. Landlord shall not be
liable for any such damage or injury even though the cause of or
the means of repairing such damage or injury are not accessible to
Tenant. The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall not, however,
exempt Landlord from liability for Landlord's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
Section 6.03. Landlord's Obligations.
(a) Except as provided in Article Seven
(Damage or Destruction) and Article Eight
(Condemnation), Landlord shall keep the following in good order,
condition and repair: the foundations, pre-existing underground
utilities, exterior walls and roof of the Premises (excluding
painting the exterior surface of the exterior walls of the Premises
which shall be an obligation of Tenant, if necessary in Landlord's
discretion). However,
Landlord shall not be obligated to maintain or repair windows,
doors, plate glass or the interior surfaces of exterior walls.
Landlord shall make repairs under this Section 6.03 within a
reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the
need for such repairs. In no event shall the Landlord be obligated
to maintain the heating or air conditioning systems, or any other
HVAC/ventilation facilities located in the Premises, all of which
shall be the responsibility of Tenant.
(b) Tenant shall pay or reimburse Landlord for
all costs Landlord incurs under Paragraph 6.03(a) above as Common
Area costs as provided for in Section 4.05 of the Lease. Tenant
waives the benefit of any statute in effect now or in the future
which might give Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's
expense or to terminate this Lease due to Landlord's failure to
keep the Premises in good order, condition and
repair.
Section 6.04. Tenant's Obligations.
(a) Except
as provided in Section 6.03, Article Seven (Damage or Destruction)
and Article Eight (Condemnation), Tenant shall keep all portions of
the Premises (including structural, nonstructural, interior,
systems and equipment) in good order, condition and repair
(including interior repainting and refinishing, as needed). If any
portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises
which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired or
restored, Tenant shall promptly replace such portion of the
Premises or system or equipment in the Premises, regardless of
whether the benefit of such replacement extends beyond the Lease
Term. Tenant shall maintain a preventive maintenance contract
providing for the regular inspection and maintenance of the heating
and air conditioning system by a licensed ventilation, heating and
air conditioning contractor. If any part of the Premises or the
Project is damaged by any act or omission of Tenant, Tenant shall
pay Landlord the cost of repairing or replacing such damaged
property, whether or not Landlord would otherwise be obligated to
pay the cost of maintaining or repairing such property. It is the
intention of Landlord and Tenant that at all times Tenant shall
maintain the portions of the Premises which Tenant is obligated to
maintain in an attractive, first-class and fully operative
condition.
(b) Tenant
shall fulfill all of Tenant's obligations under this Section 6.04
at Tenant's sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain, repair or
replace the Premises as required by this Section 6.04, Landlord
may, upon ten (10) days' prior notice to Tenant (except that no
notice shall be required in the case of an emergency), enter the
Premises and perform such maintenance or repair (including
replacement, as needed) on behalf of Tenant. In such case, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred in performing such
maintenance or repair immediately upon demand.
Section 6.05. Alterations, Additions, and
Improvements.
(a) After
the initial Tenant Improvements more fully described in Exhibit
"B", Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or
improvements to the Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent, except for non-structural alterations which do not exceed
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in cost annually and which are not
visible from the outside of any building of which the Premises is
part. Landlord may require Tenant to provide demolition and/or lien
and completion bonds in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord.
Tenant shall promptly remove any alterations, additions, or
improvements constructed in violation of this Paragraph 6.05(a)
upon Landlord's written request. All alterations, additions, and
improvements shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformity with all applicable laws and regulations, and by a
contractor approved by Landlord. Upon completion of any such work,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with "as built" plans, copies of all
construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor and
materials.
(b) Tenant
shall pay when due all claims for labor and material furnished to
the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days'
prior written notice of the commencement of any work on the
Premises, regardless of whether Landlord's consent to such work is
required. Landlord may elect to record and post notices of
non-responsibility on the Premises.
Section 6.06. Condition upon Termination. Upon the termination of
the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom
clean and in the same condition as received. In addition, Landlord
may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or
improvements (whether or not made with Landlord's consent) prior to
the expiration of the Lease and to restore the Premises to its
prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. All alterations,
additions and improvements which Landlord has not required Tenant
to remove shall become Landlord's property and shall be surrendered
to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant's machinery or
equipment which can be removed without material damage to the
Premises. Tenant shall repair, at Tenant's expense, any damage to
the Premises caused by the removal of any such machinery or
equipment. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of the
following materials or equipment (which shall be deemed Landlord's
property) without Landlord's prior written consent: any power
wiring or power panels; lighting or lighting fixtures; wall
coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings; carpets or
other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners or any other
heating or air conditioning equipment fencing or security gates; or
other similar building operating equipment and
decorations.
ARTICLE SEVEN: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 7.01. Partial Damage to Premises.
(a) Tenant
shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of
any damage to the Premises. If the Premises is only partially
damaged (i.e., less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises is
untenantable as a result of such damage or less than fifty percent
(50%) of Tenant's operations are materially impaired) and if the
proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance policies described
in Paragraph 4.04(b) are sufficient to pay for the necessary
repairs, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall
repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible. Landlord may
elect (but is not required) to repair any damage to Tenant's
fixtures, equipment, or improvements.
(b) If
the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to
pay the entire cost of repair, or if the cause of the damage is not
covered by the insurance policies which Landlord maintains under
Paragraph 4.04(b), Landlord may elect either to (i) repair the
damage as soon as reasonably possible, in which case this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease
as of the date the damage occurred. Landlord shall notify Tenant
within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the occurrence
of the damage whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or
terminate the. Lease. If Landlord elects to repair the damage,
Tenant shall pay Landlord the "deductible amount" (if any) under
Landlord's insurance policies and, if the damage was due to an act
or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors
or invitees, the difference between the actual cost of repair and
any insurance proceeds received by Landlord. If Landlord elects to
terminate the Lease, Tenant may elect to continue this Lease in
full force and effect in which case Tenant shall repair any damage
to the Premises and any building in which the Premises is, located.
Tenant shall pay the cost of such repairs, except that upon
satisfactory completion of such repairs, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant any insurance proceeds received by Landlord for the damage
repaired by Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of
such election within ten (10) days after receiving Landlord's
termination notice.
(c) If
the damage to the Premises occurs during the last six (6) months of
the Lease Term and such damage will require more than thirty (30)
days to repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate
this Lease as of the date the damage occurred, regardless of the
sufficiency of any insurance proceeds. The party electing to
terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other
party of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the
damage.
Section 7.02. Substantial or Total Destruction. If the Premises is
substantially or totally destroyed by any cause whatsoever (i.e.,
the damage to the Premises is greater than partial damage as
described in Section 7.01), and regardless of whether Landlord
receives any insurance proceeds, this Lease shall terminate as of
the date the destruction occurred. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Premises can be rebuilt within six (6) months
after the date of destruction, Landlord may elect to rebuild the
Premises at Landlord's own expense, in which case this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall notify Tenant of
such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant's notice of the
occurrence of total or substantial destruction. If Landlord so
elects, Landlord shall rebuild the Premises at Landlord's sole
expense, except that if the destruction was caused by an act or
omission of Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference
between the actual cost of rebuilding and any insurance proceeds
received by Landlord.
Section 7.03. Temporary Reduction of Rent. If the Premises is
destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the
Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Article Seven, any Rent
payable during the
period of such damage, repair and/or restoration shall be reduced
according to the degree, if any, to which Tenant's use of the
Premises is impaired. However, the reduction shall not exceed the
sum of one year's payment of Base Rent, insurance premiums and real
property taxes. Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent,
insurance premiums and real property taxes, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from
Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair, or
restoration of or to the Premises.
Section 7.04.
Waiver. Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code or
judicial decision which grants a tenant the right to terminate a
lease in the event of the substantial or total destruction of the
leased property. Tenant agrees that the provisions of Section 7.02
above shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and
Tenant in the event of any substantial or total destruction of the
Premises.
ARTICLE EIGHT: CONDEMNATION
If all or any portion of the Premises is taken under the power of
eminent domain or sold under the threat of that power (all of which
are called "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the
part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority takes title
or possession, whichever occurs first If more than twenty percent
(20%) of the floor area of the building in which the Premises is
located, or which is located on the Premises, is taken, either
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, 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 title or
possession). If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease,
this Lease shall remain in effect as to the portion of the Premises
not taken, except that the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be
reduced in proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the
Premises. Any Condemnation award or payment shall be distributed in
the following order: (a) first, to any ground lessor, mortgagee or
beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Premises, the
amount of its interest in the Premises; (b) second, to Tenant, only
the amount of any award specifically designated for loss of or
damage to Tenant's trade fixtures or removable personal property;
and (c) third, to Landlord, the remainder of such award, whether as
compensation for reduction in the value of the leasehold, the
taking of the fee, or otherwise. If this Lease is not terminated,
Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises 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. If the severance damages received by Landlord are not
sufficient to pay for such repair, Landlord shall have the right to
either terminate this Lease or make such repair at Landlord's
expense.
ARTICLE NINE: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 9.01. Landlord's Consent Required. No portion of the
Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease may be acquired by
any other person or entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage,
sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of Tenant, without
Landlord's prior written consent, except as provided in Section
9.02 below. Landlord has the right to grant or withhold its consent
as provided in Section 9.05 below. Any attempted transfer without
consent shall be void and shall constitute a non-curable breach of
this Lease. If Tenant is an entity, any cumulative transfer of more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the entity (whether stock,
membership interests, partnership interests, or otherwise)
interests shall require Landlord's written consent If Tenant is a
corporation, any change in the ownership of a twenty-five percent
(25%) or more interest of the voting stock of the corporation shall
require Landlord's consent. Notwithstanding the two immediately
preceding sentences, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is currently
anticipating transitioning into a publicly-traded entity whose
shares are freely traded on one or more public markets. The
restrictions on transfer of ownership of more then twenty-five
percent (25%) of the stock/voting stock of the Tenant shall not
require Landlord's consent in the event that: (i) Tenant's stock is
listed on a domestic or reputable foreign public exchange within
three (3) years of the Date of Lease; and (ii) the Tenant entity
has a minimum net worth of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00)
at the time of such transfer.
Section 9.02. Tenant Affiliate/Ancillary Uses. Tenant may assign
this Lease once during the initial Lease Term, 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, any Tenant's Affiliate shall assume in
writing all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and there
shall be no release of the Tenant (or any Guarantor) upon such
assignment Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to sublease any portion of the
Premises to a user for a use which is complementary or ancillary to
the Permitted Uses upon obtaining Landlord's consent, which consent
shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing Tenant shall at all times be and remain primarily
responsible for performance of the obligations under this
Lease.
Section 9.03. No Release of Tenant. No transfer permitted by this
Article Nine, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall
release Tenant or change Tenant's primary liability to pay the Rent
and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Landlord's acceptance of Rent from any other person is not a waiver
of any provision of this Article Nine. Consent to one transfer is
not a consent to any subsequent transfer. If Tenant's transferee
defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against
Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Landlord
may consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this
Lease by Tenant's transferee, without notifying Tenant or obtaining
its consent. Such action shall not relieve Tenant's liability under
this Lease.
Section 9.04. Offer to Terminate. If Tenant desires to assign the
Lease or sublease the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to offer, in writing, to terminate the Lease as
of a date specified in the offer. If Landlord elects in writing to
accept the offer to terminate within twenty (20) days after notice
of the offer, the Lease shall terminate as of the date specified
and all the terms and provisions of the Lease governing termination

continue in effect until otherwise terminated and the provisions of
Section 9.05 with respect to any proposed transfer shall continue
to apply.
Section 9.05. Landlord's Consent.
(a) Tenant's
request for consent to any transfer described in Section 9.01 shall
set forth in writing the details of the proposed transfer,
including the name, business and financial condition of the
prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed transfer
(e.g., the term of and the Rent and security deposit payable under
any proposed assignment or sublease), and any other information
Landlord deems relevant. Landlord shall have the right to withhold
consent, if reasonable, or to grant consent, based on the following
factors: (i) the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and
the proposed use of the Premises; (ii) the net worth and financial
reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) Tenant's
compliance with all of its obligations under the Lease; and (iv)
such other factors as Landlord may reasonably deem
relevant.
(b) If
Tenant assigns or subleases, the following shall
apply:
(i) Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent under the Lease the
Landlord's Share (stated in Section 1.13) of the Profit (defined
below) on such transaction as and when received by Tenant, unless
Landlord gives written notice to Tenant and the assignee or
subtenant that Landlord's Share shall be paid by the assignee or
subtenant to Landlord directly. The "Profit" means (A) all amounts
paid to Tenant for such assignment or sublease, including "key"
money, monthly rent in excess of the monthly rent payable under the
Lease, and all fees and other consideration paid for the assignment
or sublease, including fees under any collateral agreements, less
(B) costs and expenses directly incurred by Tenant in connection
with the execution and performance of such assignment or sublease
for real estate broker's commissions and costs of renovation or
construction of tenant improvements required under such assignment
or sublease. Tenant is entitled to recover such costs and expenses
before Tenant is obligated to pay the Landlord's Share to Landlord.
The Profit in the case of a sublease of less than all the Premises
is the rent allocable to the subleased space as a percentage on a
square footage basis.
(ii) Tenant
shall provide Landlord a written statement certifying all amounts
to be paid from any assignment or sublease of the Premises within
thirty (30) days after the transaction documentation is signed, and

accuracy of such statement. On written request, Tenant shall
promptly furnish to Landlord copies of all the transaction
documentation, all of which shall be certified by Tenant to be
complete, true and correct. Landlord's receipt of Landlord's Share
shall not be a consent to any further assignment or subletting. The
breach of Tenant's obligation wider this Paragraph 9.05(b) shall be
a material default of the Lease.
Section 9.06. No Merger. No merger shall result from Tenant's
sublease of the Premises under this Article Nine, Tenant's
surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any
other manner. In any such event, Landlord may
terminate any or all sub-tenancies or succeed to the interest of
Tenant as sub-Landlord under any or all
sub-tenancies.
ARTICLE
TEN: DEFAULTS: REMEDIES
Section 10.01. Covenants and Conditions. Tenant's performance of
each of Tenant's obligations under this Lease is a condition as
well as a covenant. Tenant's right to continue in possession of the
Premises is conditioned upon such performance. Time is of the
essence in the performance of all covenants and
conditions.
Section 10.02. Defaults. Tenant shall be in material default under
this Lease:
(a) If
Tenant abandons the Premises or if Tenant's vacation of the
Premises lasts longer than fifteen (15) days or results in the
cancellation of any insurance described in Section
4.04;
(b) If
Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge when
due;
(c) If
Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant's non-monetary obligations
under this Lease for a period of ten (10) days after written notice
from Landlord; provided that if more than thirty (30) days are
required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in
default if Tenant commences such performance within the thirty
(30)-day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion.
However, Landlord shall not be required to give such notice if
Tenant's failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach of
this Lease. The notice required by this Paragraph is intended to
satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord
and is not in addition to any such requirement
(d) (i)
If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the
benefit of creditors; (ii) if a petition for adjudication of
bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or
against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii)
if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of
Tenant's interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to
Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of
Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in
this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure which is not discharged within thirty (30) days. If a court
of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described
in this subparagraph (d) is not a default under this Lease, and a
trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a
debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant's
interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional
Rent, the excess, if any, of the Rent (or any other consideration)
paid in connection with such assignment or sublease over the Rent
payable by Tenant under this Lease.
(e) If
Tenant attempts to revoke or otherwise terminate, or purports to
revoke or otherwise terminate, the Lease Guaranty Deposit or the
Security Device.
Section 10.03. Remedies. On the occurrence of any material default
by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without
notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of
any right or remedy which Landlord may have:
(a) Terminate
Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means,
in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In
such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all
damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default,
including (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Base
Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord had earned
at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the
award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent
and other charges which Landlord would have earned after
termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably
avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which
Tenant would have paid for the balance of the Lease Term after the
time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant
proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other
amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any
costs or expenses Landlord incurs in maintaining or preserving the
Premises after such default, the
cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of
reletting, including necessary renovation or alteration of the
Premises, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection therewith, and any real estate commission paid or
payable. As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the
time of the award" is computed by allowing interest on unpaid
amounts at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or such
lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful rate. As used in
subpart (iii) above, the "worth at the time of the award" is
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award,
plus one percent (1%). If Tenant has abandoned the Premises,
Landlord shall have the option of (i) retaking possession of the
Premises and Recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this
Paragraph 10.03(a), or (ii) proceeding under Paragraph
10.03(b);
(b) Maintain
Tenant's right to possession, in which case this Lease shall
continue in effect whether or not Tenant has abandoned the
Premises. in such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all
of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the
right to recover the Rent as it becomes due;
(c) Pursue
any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the
laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises is
located.
Section 10.04. Repayment of "Free" Rent. If this Lease provides for
a postponement of any monthly rental payments, a period of "free"
Rent or other Rent concession, such postponed Rent or "free" Rent
is called the "Abated Rent". Tenant shall be credited with having
paid all of the Abated Rent on the expiration of the Lease Term
only if Tenant has fully, faithfully, and punctually performed all
of Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the payment of all
Rent (other than the Abated Rent) and all other monetary
obligations and the surrender of the Premises in the physical
condition required by this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that its
right to receive credit for the Abated Rent is absolutely
conditioned upon Tenant's full, faithful and punctual performance
of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults and does
not cure within any applicable grace period, the Abated Rent shall
immediately become due and payable in full and this Lease shall be
enforced as if there were no such rent abatement or other rent
concession. In such case Abated Rent shall be calculated based on
the full initial Rent payable under this Lease.
Section 10.05. Optional Termination. Notwithstanding any other term
or provision hereof to the contrary, the Lease shall, at Landlord's
option, terminate on the occurrence of any act which affirms the
Landlord's intention to terminate the Lease as provided in Section
10.03 hereof; including the filing of an unlawful detainer action
against Tenant. On such termination, Landlord's damages for default
shall include all costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys'
fees that Landlord incurs in connection with the filing,
commencement, pursuing and/or defending of any action in any
bankruptcy court or other court with respect to the Lease; the
obtaining of relief from any stay in bankruptcy restraining any
action to evict Tenant; or the pursuing of any action with respect
to Landlord's right to possession of the Premises. All such damages
suffered (apart from Base Rent and other rent payable hereunder)
shall constitute damages which must be reimbursed to Landlord prior
to assumption of the Lease by Tenant or any successor to Tenant in
any bankruptcy or other proceeding.
Section 10.06.
Cumulative Remedies. Landlord's exercise of any right or remedy
shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or
remedy.

this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise
represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month's Base
