any of the Lessee's property which the Lessor removes from the
Premises may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at
the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, or 2) allowing the
Lessee to remain in full possession and control of the
Premises. If the Lessor chooses to repossess the Premises, the
Lease will automatically terminate in accordance with
provisions of the California Civil Code, Section 1951.2. In
the event of such termination of the Lease, the Lessor may
recover from the Lessee: 1) the worth at the time of award of
the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of
termination including interest at 7% per annum; 2) the worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time
of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the
Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided including
interest at 7% per annum; 3) 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 the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and
4) any other amount necessary to compensate the Lessor for all
the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to
perform his obligations under the Lease or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
If the Lessor chooses not to repossess the premises, but
allows the Lessee to remain in full possession and control of
the Premises, then in accordance with provisions of the
California Civil Code, Section 1951.4, the Lessor may treat
the Lease as being in full force and effect, and may collect
from the Lessee all rents as they become due through the
termination date of the lease as specified in the lease. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the following do not
constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession:
a) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the
property.
b) The appointment of a receiver on the initiative of the
Lessor to protect his interest under this Lease.
LATE 20. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
CHARGES Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will
cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to
ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may
be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of
rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by
Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge
equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason
of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by
Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of
7
Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies granted hereunder.
SURRENDER
OF LEASE 21. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or
any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option
of Lessor, operate as an assignment to him of any or all such
subleases or subtenancies.
TAXES 22. The Lessee shall be liable for all taxes levied against
personal property and trade or business fixtures. The Lessee
also agrees to pay, as additional rental, during the term of
this Lease and any extensions thereof, all real estate taxes
plus the yearly installments of any special assessments which
are of record or which may become of record during the term of
this lease. If said taxes and assessments are assessed against
the entire building and building site, and this Lease does not
cover the entire building or building site, the taxes and
assessment installments allocated to the Premises shall be
pro-rated on a square footage or other equitable basis, as
calculated by the Lessor. It is understood and agreed that the
Lessee's obligation under this paragraph will be pro-rated to
reflect the commencement and termination dates of this Lease.
NOTICES 23. All notices to be given to Lessee may be given in writing
personally or by depositing the same in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Lessee at the said
Premises, whether or not Lessee has departed from, abandoned

purpose of maintaining the building in which the Premises are
situated, or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or
additions to any other portion of said building, including the
erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences
and props as may be required without any rebate of rent and
without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or
quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned; and shall
permit Lessor and his agents, at any time within ninety days
prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the
Premises any usual or ordinary "For Sale" or "To Lease" signs
and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable
hours.
DESTRUCTION OF 25. In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises
PREMISES during the said term from any cause, Lessor shall forthwith
repair the same, provided such repairs can be made within
ninety (90) days from date of destruction under the laws and
regulations of State, Federal, County or Municipal
authorities, but such partial destruction shall in no way
annul or void this Lease, except that Lessee shall be entitled
to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are
being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the
extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere
with the business carried on by Lessee in the Premises. If
such repairs cannot be made in ninety (90) days from date of
destruction Lessor may, at his option, make same within a
reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and
effect and the rent to be proportionately reduced as aforesaid
in this paragraph provided. In the event that Lessor does not
so elect to make such repairs which cannot be made in ninety
(90) days, or such repairs cannot be made under such laws and
regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option of
either party. In respect to any partial destruction which
Lessor is obligated to repair or may
8
elect to repair under the terms of this paragraph, the
provision of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933,
Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California
are waived by Lessee. In the event that the building in which
the Premises may be situated be destroyed to the extent of not
less than 33 1/3% of the replacement cost thereof, Lessor may
elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured
or not. A total destruction of the building in which the
Premises may be situated shall terminate this Lease. In the
event of any dispute between Lessor and Lessee relative to the
provisions of this paragraph, they shall each select an
arbitrator, the two arbitrators so selected shall select a
third arbitrator and the three arbitrators so selected shall
hear and determine the controversy and their decision thereon
shall be final and binding upon both Lessor and Lessee, who
shall bear the cost of such arbitration equally between them.
ASSIGNMENT AND 26. The Lessee shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate
SUBLETTING the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest
therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part
thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or
suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the
Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the
prior written consent of the Lessor. Lessor agrees not to
unreasonably withhold consent to sublet or assign. As a
condition for granting its consent to any subletting the
Lessor may require the Lessee to agree to pay to the Lessor,
as additional rental, all rents received by the Lessee from
its Sublessee which are in excess of the amount payable by the
Lessee to the Lessor hereunder. The Lessee shall, by sixty
(60) days written notice, advise the Lessor of its intent to
sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the
term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessee's
notice, Lessor shall either give approval to Lessee to
sublease the portion of the Premises described in Lessee's
notice, or Lessor shall terminate this Lease as to the portion
of the Premises described in Lessee's notice on the date
specified in Lessee's notice. If Lessee intends to sublet the
entire Premises and Lessor elects to terminate this Lease,
this Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in
Lessee's notice. If, however, this Lease shall terminate
pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the
Premises, the rent, as defined and reserved herein above shall
be adjusted on a prorata basis to the number of square feet
retained by Lessee, and this Lease as so amended shall
continue in full force and effect. If the Lessor approves a
subletting, the Lessee may sublet immediately after receipt of
the Lessor's written approval. In the event Lessee is allowed
to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the
Premises, with the prior written consent of Lessor, no
assignee, transferee or sublessee shall assign or transfer
this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or
any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the
prior written consent of the Lessor. A consent of Lessor to
one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting,
occupation or use by any other person shall not release Lessee
from any of Lessee's obligations hereunder or be deemed to be
a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment,
transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any
other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation,
subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be
void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessee and
shall, at the option of Lessor exercised by written notice to
Lessee, terminate this Lease. The
9
leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any
interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation
of law without the written consent of Lessor. As a condition
to its consent, Lessor may require Lessee to pay all expense
in connection with the assignment, and Lessor may require
Lessee's assignee or transferee (or other assignees or
transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under
this Lease.
CONDEMNATION 27. If any part of the premises shall be taken for any
public or quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of
eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof, and a part
thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder,
this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the
date title shall vest in the condemnor or purchaser, and the
rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Lessee
shall be required to pay for the remainder of the term only
such portion of such rent as the value of the part remaining
after such taking bears to the value of the entire
10
premises prior to such taking, but in such event Lessor shall
have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when
title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor or
purchaser. If all of the premises, or such part thereof be
taken so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for
occupation hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If
a part or all of the Premises be taken, all compensation
awarded upon such taking shall go to the Lessor and the Lessee
shall have no claim thereto.
EFFECT OF 28. The term "Lessor" as used in this Lease, means only the
CONVEYANCE owner for the time being of the land and building containing
the Premises, so that, in the event of any sale of said land
or building, or in the event of a lease of said building, the
Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of
all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder, and it
shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement
between the parties and the purchaser at any such sale, or the
Lessee of the building, that the purchaser or lessee of the
building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all
covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder. If any
security be given by the Lessee to secure the faithful
performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease on
the part of the Lessee, the Lessor may transfer and deliver
the security, as such, to the purchaser at any such sale or
the lessee of the building, and thereupon the Lessor shall be
discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.
SUBORDINATION 29. Lessee agrees that this Lease may, at the option of
Lessor, be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of
trust or other instrument of security which has been or shall
be placed on the land and building or land or building of
which the Premises form a part, and this subordination is
hereby made effective without any further act of Lessee. The
Lessee shall, at any time hereinafter, on demand, execute any
instruments, releases, or other documents that may be required
by any mortgagee, mortgagor, or trustor or beneficiary under
any deed of trust for the purpose of subjecting and
subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage,
deed of trust or other instrument of security, and
WAIVER 30. The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant
or condition, herein contained shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent
breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder
by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding
breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular
rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
HOLDING OVER 31. Any holding over after the expiration of the said term,
with the consent of Lessor, shall be construed to be a tenancy
from month to month, at a rental to be negotiated by Lessor
and Lessee prior to the expiration of said term, and shall
otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so
far as applicable.
SUCCESSORS 32. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall,
AND subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind
ASSIGNS the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns
of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto
shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.
TIME 33. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

MARGINAL 34. The marginal headings or titles to the paragraphs
CAPTIONS of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no
effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part
thereof. This instrument contains all of the agreements and
conditions made between the parties hereto and may not be
modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in
writing signed by all of the parties hereto or their
respective successors in interest.
