payment required o be made by Tenant hereunder, with 30 business days of
the date due;
17.1.2 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease (other than those described in Paragraph 17.1.1 above),
where such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written
notice there of from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that, if the
nature of Tenant's default is such that more than 30 days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if
Tenant shall commence such cure within such 30 day period and thereafter
diligently prosecute such cure to completion; and
17.1.3 (i) the making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have
Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement
under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition
filed against the Tenant, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially
all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in
this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within 90 days; or (iv)
the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease if such seizure is not discharged within 90 days.
17.2 Landlord's Remedies: Termination. In the event of any such default by
Tenant, Landlord shall have the immediate right to terminate this Lease and
all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to
so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to recover from
Tenant:
17.2.1 The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned
at the time of such termination; plus
17.2.2 The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid
Monthly Rent that would have been earned after termination until the time
of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could
have been reasonably avoided; plus
17.2.3 The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Monthly
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; plus
17.2.4 Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
approximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under
this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to
result there from.
17.2.5 As used in Paragraphs 17.2.1 and 17.2.2 above, the worth at the time of
award is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate as defined in
Paragraph 20.2 below. As used in Paragraph 17.2.3 above, the worth at the
time of award is 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 (1.0%).
17.3 Landlord's remedies Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such default by
Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating
this Lease, by legal proceeding, to re-enter the Premises and remove all
persons from the Premises and take possession of all property located
thereon. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord
pursuant to this Paragraph 17.3 and no acceptance of surrender of the
Premises or other action on Landlord's part, shall be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention be
given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
17.4 Landlord's Remedies: Continuation of Lease. In the event of any such
default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in
full force and effect, whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the
Premises. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in full force
and effect pursuant to this Paragraph 17.4, then Landlord shall be entitled
to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the
right to recover Monthly Rent as it becomes due. Landlord's election not to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 17.4 or pursuant to any
other provision of this Lease, at law or in equity, shall not preclude
Landlord from subsequently electing to terminate this Lease or pursuing any
of its other remedies. Landlord shall have the right to relet the Premises
or any portion thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the
Lease Term) and at such rental and on such other terms and conditions as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Landlord shall also
have the right to make such alterations and repairs to the Premises as
Landlord may deem advisable, in its sole discretion. Upon such reletting,
the rents received by Landlord shall be applied first to the payment of any
costs and expenses of such reletting, including, without limitation, the
cost of brokerage fees and commissions, and of such alterations and
repairs; second, to the payment of any amounts other than Monthly Rent due
from Tenant under this Lease; third, to the payment of Monthly Rent due and
unpaid under this Lease; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord
and applied to payment of future rent and other amounts as the same become
due and payable hereunder. If the rents received from such reletting during
any month are less than that to be paid during the month by Tenant
hereunder, Tenant shall immediately pay any such deficiency to Landlord.
Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
17.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of
Landlord contained in this Paragraph 17 and elsewhere in this Lease shall
be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be
exclusive of the other. Landlord shall have the right to pursue anyone or
all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief that may be provided by
law or in equity, whither or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this
Paragraph 17 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant's
indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.
18 Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of
any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless
Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within 30 days after the
receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's
failure to perform; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord's
obligation is such that more than 30 days are required for its performance,
then Landlord shall not be deemed in default it commences such performance
within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to
completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Landlord shall use its
best efforts to commence to perform its obligations under this Lease within
24 hours of receipt of such written notice from Tenant. Upon any such
uncured default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided
in law or at equity; provided, however, Tenant's rights and remedies
hereunder shall be limited to the extent Tenant has expressly waived in
this Lease any of such rights or remedies.
19 Estoppel Certificate and Subordination.
19.1 Estoppel Certificate. Within 10 days following Landlord's written request,
Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate
certifying: (a) the Commencement Date of this Lease; (b) that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, that this Lease
is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the date and nature of
such modifications); (c) the date to which the rent and other sums payable
under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are not, to the best of
Tenant's knowledge, any defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or
Tenant, except as specified in such certificate; and (e) such other matters
as are reasonably requested by Landlord. Any such estoppel certificate
delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any mortgagee,
deed of trust beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the
premises or the Property, as well as their assignees.
19.2 Subordination of Tenant's Interest. Without the necessity of any additional
document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a
subordination, and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee of a
mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering
all or any portion of the Premises, this Lease shall by subject and
subordinate at all times to the lien of such mortgages and deeds of trust
(as well as to any advances made there under and to all renewals,
replacements, modifications and extensions thereof). As a condition
precedent to the effectiveness of any such subordination of this Lease to
the lien of any future mortgages or deeds of trust, Landlord shall provide
to Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement in favor of Tenant executed by such future mortgagee
or deed of trust beneficiary, as the case may be, which shall provide that
Tenant's quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed on account
of such subordination so long as Tenant is not in default under any
provisions of this Lease and agrees pursuant to the terms thereof to attorn
to such mortgagee or beneficiary and any future owner of the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate
or cause to be subordinated the lien of any or all mortgages or deeds of
trust to this Lease. In the event that any mortgage or deed of trust is
foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason,
at the election of Landlord's successor in interest, Tenant shall attorn to
and become the tenant of such successor. Tenant herby waives its rights
under any current or future law that gives or purports to give Tenant any
right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the
obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure
proceeding or sale. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to
Landlord within 10 days after receipt of written demand by Landlord and in
the form reasonably required by Landlord, any additional documents
evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to the
lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust. Should Tenant fail to sign and
return any such documents within such 10 day period, Tenant shall be in
default hereunder without the benefit of any additional notice or cure
periods specified in Paragraph 17.1.

20 Performance by Tenant: Interest and Late Charges.
20.1 Landlord's Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in
this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall
be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense without any
abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money
(other than Monthly Rent) or perform any other act on its part to be paid
or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for 10 business day
with respect to monetary obligations (or 15 days with respect to
non-monetary obligations) after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof
from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from an of
Tenant's obligation, make such payment or perform such other act on behalf
of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs
incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by
Tenant to Landlord within 15 days after demand therefore as additional rent
and, if not paid within such 15 day period, shall bear interest at the
Default Rate (as defined below) from the date Landlord makes such payment
or incurs such costs until paid. The foregoing rights are in addition to
any and all remedies available to Landlord upon Tenant's default as
described in Paragraph 17.1.
20.2 Late Charge and Default Interest. If any installment of Monthly Rent or any
additional rent or other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received
by Landlord within 10 business days of the date due, it shall be subject to
a late charge of 5% of the amount delinquent and shall bear interest at 12%
(the "Default Rate") from the date due until paid. All interest, and any
late charges imposed pursuant to this Paragraph 20.2 shall be considered
additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
21 Assignment and Subletting. In the event Landlord is unable to accommodate
Tenant's need for additional space, it is mutually agreed that Tenant can
vacate the Premises and sublet to another user. Tenant shall provide prior
written notice to Landlord of subletting the Premises. Any subletting
Tenant shall be limited to Paragraph 3.2 of this Lease.
22 Entry by Landlord. Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all times
have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to exhibit the

Lease Term, to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility,
and/or to alter, improve or repair the Premises if required to comply with
any law, ordinance or regulation applicable to the Premises or if required
or allowed under any provision of this Lease, all without being deemed
guilty of or liable for any breach of Landlord's covenant of quiet
enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of rent. In
exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, as
reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant's business; and shall
provide Tenant with reasonable advance written notice of such entry (except
in emergency situations). Nothing in this Paragraph 22 shall be construed
as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or improvements
other than those specifically provided for elsewhere in this Lease.
23 Transfer of Owner's Interest. The term Landlord as used in this Lease, so
far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned,
shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time
in question, of the fee title to the Premises and the Property. In the
event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title (other than a
transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be automatically
relieved of all covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained
in this Lease accruing after the date of such transfer or conveyance.
Landlord and Landlord's transferees and assignees shall have the absolute
right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest
in the Premises and the Property and/or this Lease without the consent of
Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a
violation on Landlord's part of any of the terms and conditions of this
Lease.
24 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, upon
Tenant performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant's part to
be observed and performed under this Lease (including, without limitation,
payment of rent hereunder); Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Premises in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Lease.

for cleaning and office supplies typically used in a general office
setting, neither Tenant nor any Tenant Parties shall use, handle, store or
dispose of any Regulated Substances in, on, under, at or about the Premises
or the Property. Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole cost
and expense, as are necessary to return the Premises or the Property to the
condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Regulated
Substances by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, provided Landlord's approval of
such actions shall first be obtained. Furthermore, Tenant shall immediately
notify Landlord of any inquiry, test, investigation or enforcement
proceeding by or against Tenant or the Premises concerning any
Environmental Law.
25.2 Tenant's Indemnity. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall
indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Landlord) and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits,
causes of action, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses and
expenses (including without limitation, investigation and clean-up costs,
attorneys' fees, consultant fees and court costs) that arise during or
after the Lease Term as a result of the breach of any of the obligations
and covenants set forth in Paragraph 25.1 above, and/or any presence,

hereof be deemed a waiver of, or in ay way affect, the right of any party
to insist upon the performance by thither in strict accordance with said
terms. No waiver of any default of either party hereunder shall be implied
from any acceptance by Landlord or delivery by Tenant (as the case may be)

non-defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such
default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect
defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The subsequent acceptance
of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any

acceptance of such rent.

contain all of the covenants, provisions, agreements, conditions and
understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises and any
other matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement or
understanding, oral or written, express or implied, pertaining to the
Premises or any such other matter shall be effective for any purpose. No

in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in
interest. The parties acknowledge that all prior agreements,
representations and negotiations are deemed superseded by the execution of
this Lease to the extent they are not expressly incorporated herein.
27.9 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any extent be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable (except for Tenant's obligation to pay rent), the remainder
of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, but such term or provision
shall be reduced or otherwise modified by such court or authority only to
the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and each
term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law. If any term or provision cannot be reduced
or modified to make it reasonable and permit its enforcement, it shall be
severed from this Lease and the remaining terms shall be interpreted in
such a way as to give maximum validity and enforceability to this Lease. It
is the intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of this Lease
capable of two constructions, on which would render the provision void and
the other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision
shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of
such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees
that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be applicable to
any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or
imposed by any statute or at common law.
