so in default.
D. Additional Rent. Beginning with the commencement date of the term of
this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or to Landlord's designated agent in
addition to the Basic Rent and as Additional Rent the following:

Tenant or failure on Tenant's part to comply with the terms of this Lease. In
the event of nonpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent, Landlord shall have all
the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Landlord has for nonpayment of
rent.

amount estimated by Landlord to be Landlord's approximate average monthly
expenditure for such Additional Rent items, which estimated amount shall be
reconciled within 120 days of the end of each calendar year or more frequently
if Landlord elects to do so at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion as
compared to Landlord's actual expenditure for said Additional Rent items, with
Tenant paying to Landlord, upon demand, any amount of actual expenses expended
by Landlord in excess of said estimated amount, or Landlord crediting to Tenant
(providing Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease) any amount of estimated payments made by
Tenant in excess of Landlord's actual expenditures for said Additional Rent
items. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's reconciliation,
Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole expense, to audit, at a mutually
convenient time at Landlord's office, Landlord's records relating to the
foregoing expenses. Such audit must be conducted by Tenant or an independent
nationally recognized accounting firm that is not being compensated by Tenant or
other third party on a contingency fee basis. Landlord shall be provided a
complete copy of said audit at no expense to Landlord. If such audit reveals
that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, the amount overcharged shall be credited
to Tenant's account within thirty (30) days after the audit is concluded.
The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this paragraph
shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease, and
if the term hereof shall expire or shall otherwise terminate on a day other than
the last day of a calendar year, the actual Additional Rent incurred for the
calendar year in which the term hereof expires or otherwise terminates shall be
determined and settled on the basis of the statement of actual Additional Rent
for such calendar year and shall be prorated in the proportion which the number
of days in such calendar year preceding such expiration or termination bears to
365.
E. Fixed Management Fee. Beginning with the Commencement Date of the
Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the Basic Rent
and Additional Rent, a fixed monthly management fee ("Management Fee") equal to
2% of the Basic Rent due for each month during the Lease Term.
F. Place of Payment of Rent and Additional Rent. All Basic Rent
hereunder and all payments hereunder for Additional Rent shall be paid to
Landlord at the office of Landlord at A&P Foundations, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx

Hundred Eighty and No/100 Dollars ($74,880.00). Said sum shall be held by
Landlord as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by
Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision
of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the
payment of rent and any of the monetary sums due herewith, Landlord may (but
shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security
Deposit for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend by reason
of Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which
Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of said
Deposit is used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in the amount sufficient to restore
the Security Deposit to its original amount. Tenant's failure to do so shall be
a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep this
Security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such Deposit. If Tenant fully and faithfully performs
every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any
balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord's option, to the
last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the Lease
term and after

Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the event of termination of Landlord's
interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer said Deposit to Landlord's
successor in interest whereupon Tenant agrees to release Landlord from liability
for the return of such Deposit or the accounting therefor.
5. ACCEPTANCE AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Subject to Paragraph 40 by entry
hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and sanitary order,
condition and repair and accepts the building and improvements included in the
Premises in their present condition and without representation or warranty by
Landlord as to the condition of such building or as to the use or occupancy
which may be made thereof. Any exceptions to the foregoing must be by written
agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees on the last day of the
Lease term, or on the sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the
Premises promptly and peaceably to Landlord in good condition and repair (damage
by Acts of God, fire, normal wear and tear excepted), with all interior walls
painted, or cleaned so that they appear freshly painted, and repaired and
replaced, if damaged; all floors cleaned and waxed; all carpets cleaned and
shampooed; all broken, marred or nonconforming acoustical ceiling tiles
replaced; all windows washed; the air-conditioning and heating systems serviced
by a reputable and licensed service firm and in good condition and repair; the
plumbing and electrical systems and lighting in good order and repair, including
replacement of any burned out or broken light bulbs or ballasts; the lawn and
shrubs in good condition including the replacement of any dead or damaged
plantings; the sidewalk, driveways and parking areas in good order, condition
and repair, together with all alterations, additions, and improvements which may
have been made in, to, or on the Premises (except moveable trade fixtures
installed at the expense of Tenant) except that Tenant shall ascertain from
Landlord within thirty (30) days before the end of the term of this Lease
whether Landlord desires to have the Premises or any part or parts thereof
restored to their condition and configuration as when the Premises were
delivered to Tenant and if Landlord shall so desire, then Tenant shall restore
said Premises or such part or parts thereof before the end of this Lease at
Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant, on or before the end of the term or
sooner termination of this Lease, shall remove all of Tenant's personal property
and trade fixtures from the Premises, and all property not so removed on or
before the end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed
abandoned by Tenant and title to same shall thereupon pass to Landlord without
compensation to Tenant. Landlord may, upon termination of this lease, remove all
moveable furniture and equipment so abandoned by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost,
and repair any damage caused by such removal at Tenant's sole cost. If the
Premises be not surrendered at the end of the term or sooner termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from
the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without
limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the term hereof
or as a consent of Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. The voluntary or
other surrender of this Lease or the Premises by Tenant or a mutual cancellation
of this Lease shall not work as a merger and, at the option of Landlord, shall
either terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or operate as an
assignment to Landlord of all or any such subleases or subtenancies
6. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. Tenant shall not make, or suffer to be made, any
alteration or addition to the Premises, or any part thereof, without the written
consent of Landlord first had and obtained by Tenant (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), but at the cost of Tenant, and any addition to, or
alteration of, the Premises, except moveable furniture and trade fixtures, shall
at once become a part of the Premises and belong to Landlord. Landlord reserves
the right to approve all contractors and mechanics proposed by Tenant to make
such alterations and additions. Tenant shall retain title to all moveable
furniture and trade fixtures placed in the Premises. All heating, lighting,
electrical, air-conditioning, floor to ceiling partitioning, drapery, carpeting,
and floor installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has
become an integral part of the Premises, shall not be deemed trade fixtures.
Tenant agrees that it will not proceed to make such alteration or additions,
without having obtained consent from Landlord to do so, and until five (5) days
from the receipt of such consent, in order
Page 5 of 18

that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors
or material suppliers for payment for Tenant's improvements. Tenant will at all
times permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion
of work. Tenant shall, if required by Landlord, secure at Tenant's own cost and
expense, a completion and lien indemnity bond, satisfactory to Landlord, for
such work. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic's lien filed
against the Premises for work claimed to have been done for, or materials
claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, will be discharged by Tenant, by bond
or otherwise, within ten (10) days after the filing thereof, at the cost and
expense of Tenant. Any exceptions to the foregoing must be made in writing and
executed by both Landlord and Tenant.
7. TENANT MAINTENANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep and
maintain the Premises (including appurtenances) and every part thereof in a high
standard of maintenance and repair, and in good and sanitary condition. Tenant's
maintenance and repair responsibilities herein referred to include, but are not
limited to, janitorization, plumbing systems within the non-common areas of the
Premises (such as water and drain lines, sinks), electrical systems within the
non-common areas of the Premises (such as outlets, lighting fixtures, lamps,
bulbs, tubes, ballasts), heating and air-conditioning controls within the
non-common areas of the Premises (such as mixing boxes, thermostats, time
clocks, supply and return grills), all interior improvements within the Premises
including, but not limited to: wall coverings, window coverings, acoustical
ceilings, vinyl tile, carpeting, partitioning, doors (both interior and
exterior, including closing mechanisms, latches, locks), and all other interior
improvements of any nature whatsoever. Tenant agrees to provide carpet xxxxxxx
under all rolling chairs or to otherwise be responsible for wear and tear of the
carpet caused by such rolling chairs if such wear and tear exceeds that caused
by normal foot traffic in surrounding areas. Areas of excessive wear shall be
replaced at Tenant's sole expense upon Lease termination.
8. TAXES.
A. As Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or if Landlord so directs, directly to the Tax
Collector, all Real Property Taxes relating to the Premises. In the event the
Premises leased hereunder consist of only a portion of the entire tax parcel,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's proportionate share of such real estate
taxes allocated to the leased Premises by square footage or other reasonable
basis as calculated and determined by Landlord. If the tax billing pertains 100%
to the leased Premises, and Landlord chooses to have Tenant pay said real estate
taxes directly to the Tax Collector, then in such event it shall be the
responsibility of Tenant to obtain the tax and assessment bills and pay, prior
to delinquency, the applicable real property taxes and assessments pertaining to
the leased Premises, and failure to receive a xxxx for taxes and/or assessments
shall not provide a basis for cancellation of or nonresponsibility for payment
for payment of penalties for nonpayment or late payment by Tenant. The term
"Real Property Taxes," as used herein, shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments,
levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special,
foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest
required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and
any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership of
the Premises) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy
assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value,
occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Premises (as now constructed or
as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or
Landlord's interest therein; any improvements located within the Premises
(regardless of ownership); the fixtures, equipment and other property of
Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and located in the
Premises; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Premises;
(ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environment regulation or
other governmental control of the Premises; and (iii) all costs and fees
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in
Page 6 of 18

reasonably contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public
authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If at any time during the term of this
lease the taxation or assessment of the Premises prevailing as of the
commencement date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in
addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied,
assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or
assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or
additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Premises or
Landlord's interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income
or rentals from the Premises, on Landlord's business of leasing the Premises, or
computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Premises, then any
such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of
the term "Real Property Taxes" for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property
Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to the Premises, then only that
part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Premises shall be
included within the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes." Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not include estate,
inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net
income tax imposed on Landlord's income from all sources.
B. Taxes on Tenant's Property. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay
ten days before delinquency, taxes levied against any personal property or trade
fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on
Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or
Landlord's property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the
inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade
fixtures of Tenant and Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes
based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do
regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested
by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the
taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from
such increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall
have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord's full cooperation, to
bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of such
taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to Tenant.
9. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, agrees to keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance
with combined single limit coverage of not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage occurring in,
on or about the Premises, including parking and landscaped areas. Such insurance
shall be primary and noncontributory as respects and insurance carried by
Landlord. The policy or policies effecting such insurance shall name Landlord as
additional insureds, and shall insure any liability of Landlord, contingent or
otherwise, as respects acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or
invitees or otherwise by any conduct or transactions of any of said persons in
or about or concerning the Premises, including any failure of Tenant to observe
or perform any of its obligations hereunder; shall be issued by an insurance
company admitted to transact business in the State of California; and shall
provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be canceled, except upon
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. A certificate of insurance
of said policy shall be delivered to Landlord. If, during the term of this
Lease, in the considered opinion of Landlord's Lender, insurance advisor, or
counsel, the amount of insurance described in this Paragraph 10 is not adequate,
Tenant agrees to increase said coverage to such reasonable amount as Landlord's
Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel shall deem adequate.
10. TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE AND XXXXXXX'X COMPENSATION INSURANCE.
Tenant shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance
in "all risk" from with a sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal
property, inventory, trade fixtures, and leasehold improvements within the
leased Premises for the full replacement
Page 7 of 18

value thereof. The proceeds from any of such policies shall be used for the
repair or replacement of such items so insured.
Tenant shall also maintain a policy or policies of xxxxxxx'x
compensation insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to
comply with all laws.
11. PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall purchase and keep in force, and as
Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord (or Landlord's agent if so directed by Landlord) Tenant's
proportionate share (allocated to the leased Premises by square footage or other
equitable basis as calculated and determined by Landlord) of the deductibles on
insurance claims and the cost of, policy or policies of insurance covering loss
or damage to the Premises (excluding routine maintenance and repairs and
incidental damage or destruction caused by accidents or vandalism for which
Tenant is responsible under Paragraph 7) in the amount of the full replacement
value thereof, providing protection against those perils included within the
classification of "all risks" insurance and flood and/or earthquake insurance,
if available, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount of one
hundred percent (100%) of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as
Additional Rent. If such insurance cost is increased due to Tenant's use of the
Premises, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of such increase.
Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of any insurance
procured by Landlord for the Premises.
Landlord and Tenant do each hereby respectively release the other, to
the extent of insurance coverage of the releasing party, from any liability for
loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties
included in the releasing party's insurance policies, irrespective of the cause
of such fire or casualty; provided, however, that if the insurance policy of
either releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take
effect until consent to such waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so
prohibited, the insured party affected shall promptly notify the other party
thereof.
12. INDEMNIFICATION. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby
waives all claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or
damage to or destruction of property in or about the Premises by or from any
cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, gas, fire, oil electricity or
leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the
Premises but excluding, however, the willful misconduct or negligence of
Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors of which
negligence Landlord has knowledge and reasonable time to correct. Except as to
injury to persons or damage to property to the extent arising from the willful
misconduct or the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees,
invitees, or contractors, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend
Landlord against any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in
connection therewith, arising out of any injury to or death of any person or
damage to or destruction of property occurring in, on or about the Premises, or
any part thereof, from any cause whatsoever.
13. COMPLIANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly comply with
all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or
requirements now or hereafter in effect; with the requirements of any board of
fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted; and with
any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by any public
officer; provided, however, that no such failure shall be deemed a breach of the
provisions if Tenant, immediately upon notification, commences to remedy or
rectify said failure. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party
thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall, at its
sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirements pertaining to said
Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the
maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering
requirements pertaining to said
Page 8 of 18

Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the
maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the
Premises.
14. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any
work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by Tenant. In the
event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of
such lien, cause the same to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in
addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but no
obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem
proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid
by Landlord for such purpose, and all expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the
prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank of America.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate
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
Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition for
granting this consent to any assignment, transfer, or subletting, Landlord shall
require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all rents and/or
additional consideration due Tenant from its assignees, transferees, or
subtenants in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the
assigned, transferred and/or subleased space. Tenant shall, by thirty (30) days
written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer Tenant's
interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part
of the term hereof. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of said written
notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as
to the portion of the Premises described in Tenant's notice on the date
specified in Tenant's notice by giving written notice of such election to
terminate. If no such notice to terminate is given to Tenant within said fifteen
(15) day period, Tenant may proceed to locate an acceptable sublessee, assignee,
or other transferee for presentment to Landlord for Landlord's approval, all in
accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this paragraph 15. If
Tenant intends to sublet twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises and
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall be terminated on the
date specified in Tenant'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 hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the
number of square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign,
transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior written
consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or subtenant 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
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A consent of
Landlord to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or
use by any other person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant'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 Tenant and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by
written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. The 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 Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition to its consent, Landlord shall
require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with the assignment, and
Landlord shall require Tenant's assignee or transferee (or other assignees or
transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease and
for
Page 9 of 18

10
Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the Lease. Notwithstanding the above,
in no event will Landlord consent to a sub-sublease.
16. SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGES. In the event Landlord's title or leasehold
interest is now or hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest of
Landlord in the land and buildings in which the demised Premises are located, to
secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as "Lender") to Landlord,
Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord or Lender, execute in writing an
agreement subordinating it rights under this Lease to the lien of such deed of
trust, or, of so requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender's deed of trust
shall be or remain subject and subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this
Lease and provided Lender executes a reasonable non-disturbance agreement.
Notwithstanding any such subordination, Tenant's possession under this Lease
shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall
pay all rent and observe and perform all of the provisions set forth in this
Lease.
17. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable times
after at least 24 hours notice (except in emergencies) have the right to enter
the Premises to inspect them; to perform any services to be provided by Landlord
hereunder; to make repairs or provide any services to a contiguous tenant(s); to
submit the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagers or tenants; to post
notices of nonresponsibility; and to alter, improve or repair the Premises or
other parts of the building, all without abatement of rent, and may erect
scaffolding and other necessary structures in or through the Premises where
reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed; provided,
however, that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with to the least
extent that is reasonably practical. Any entry to the Premises by Landlord for
the purposes provided for herein shall not under any circumstances be construed
or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises
or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any
portion thereof.
18. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT. The commencement of a bankruptcy action or
liquidation action or reorganization action or insolvency action or an
assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any similar action
undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, shall, at Landlord's option,
constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. If the trustee or receiver
appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency
or similar action elects to reject Tenant's unexpired Lease, the trustee or
receiver shall notify Landlord in writing of its election within thirty (30)
days after an order for relief in a liquidation action or within thirty (30)
days after the commencement of any action.
Within thirty (30) days after court approval of the assumption of this
Lease, the trustee or receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the
reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the trustee or receiver shall cure) any
and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease and shall compensate
Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurance of
future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.
Adequate assurance of future performance, as used herein, includes, but shall
not be limited to: (i) assurance of source and payment of rent, and other
consideration due under this Lease; (ii) assurance that the assumption or
assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as
radius, location, use, or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to
the above-described Premises.
Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of
Landlord to refuse to accept an assignment upon commencement of or in connection
with a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency action or an
assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors or other similar act. Nothing
contained in this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or creating an
equity in the demised Premises to Tenant. In no event shall the leasehold estate
under this Lease, or any interest therein, be assigned by voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy proceeding without the prior written consent of
Page 10 of 18
Initials: __________

11
Landlord. In no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be
an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
proceedings.
The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or
representation made under this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by
Tenant upon expiration of the appropriate grace period hereinafter provided.
Tenant shall have a period of five (5) days from the date of written notice from
Landlord within which to cure any default in the payment of rental or adjustment
thereto. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written
notice from Landlord within which to cure any other default under this Lease.
Upon an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the
following rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity:
(a) The rights and remedies provided for by California Civil Code
Section 1951.2, including, but not limited to, recovery of 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 rental loss for the same period
that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to
subsection (b) of said Section 1951.2. Any proof by Tenant under subparagraph
(2) and (3) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code of the amount of
rental loss that could be reasonably avoided shall be made in the following
manner: Landlord and Tenant shall each select a licensed real estate broker in
the business of renting property of the same type and use as the Premises and in
the same geographic vicinity. Such two real estate brokers shall select a third
licensed real estate broker, and the three licensed real estate brokers so
selected shall determine the amount of the rental loss that could be reasonably
avoided from the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award. The
decision of the majority of said licensed real estate brokers shall be final and
binding upon the parties hereto.
(b) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code
Section which allows Landlord to continue the Lease in effect and to enforce all
of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent
as it becomes due, for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to
possession; acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises,
or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord's initiative to protect its
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession.
(c) The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant
in accordance with applicable law.
(d) To the extent permitted by law, the right and power to enter
the Premises and remove therefrom all persons and property, to store such
property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account
of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply such proceeds therefrom pursuant
to applicable California law. Landlord may from time to time sublet the Premises
or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the term of
this Lease) and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its reasonable
sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and
repairs to the Premises. Upon each subletting, (i) Tenant shall be immediately
liable to pay Landlord, in addition to indebtedness other than rent due
hereunder, the reasonable cost of such subletting, including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees, and any real estate commissions actually paid,
and the cost of such reasonable alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and
the amount, if any, by which the rent hereunder for the period of such
subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the term hereof) exceeds
the amount to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period or (ii) at the
option of Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied first
to payment of indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to
Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such subletting and of such
alterations and repairs; third to payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder,
Page 11 of 18
Initials: __________
Initials: __________
12
and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of
future rent as the same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with
any rent to be received by such subletting under option (i) and such rent shall
not be promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rentals
received from such subletting under option (ii) during any month be less than
that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such
deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No
taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election
on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be
given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination,
Landlord may at any time hereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such
previous breach.
(e) The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon
application by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any
rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies
granted to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph d. above.
19. ABANDONMENT. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time
during the term of this Lease, and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender
said Premises, or be dispossessed by the process of law, or otherwise, any
personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed
to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be
mortgaged to Landlord.
20. DESTRUCTION. In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part
from any cause, except for routine maintenance and repairs and incidental damage
and destruction caused from vandalism and accidents for which Tenant is
responsible under Xxxxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxx may, at its option:
(a) Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to
the damage or destruction, or
(b) Terminate this Lease (providing that the Premises is damaged
to the extent of 33-1/3% of the replacement cost).
If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30)
days from the destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and
restore them, or to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have
elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event Landlord agrees, at its
expense, except for any deductible, which is the responsibility of Tenant,
promptly to rebuild or restore the premises to their condition prior to the
damage or destruction. Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in rent while
such repair is being made in proportion that the area of the Premises rendered
untenantable by such damaged bears to the total area of the Premises. If
Landlord initially estimates that the rebuilding or restoration will exceed 180
days or if Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or restoration within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the date of destruction (such period of time
to be extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of
Acts of God, acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight
embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials, supplies or
fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors, or delay of the contractors or
subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the control of
Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Landlord's obligation to rebuild or restore shall be
limited to the building and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as
they existed as of the commencement date of the Lease and shall not include
restoration of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, or any
improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant to the Premises, which
Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair at Tenant's sole cost and expense
provided this Lease is not cancelled according to the provisions above.

Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant hereby expressly waives
the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, in Section 1933, Subdivision 4 of
the California Civil Code.
In the event that the building in which the Premises are situated is
damaged or destroyed to the extent of not less than 33-1/3% of the replacement
cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises
by injured or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may
terminate this Lease in the event of an uninsured event or if insurance proceeds
are insufficient to cover one hundred percent (100%) of the rebuilding costs net
of the deductible.
21. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any
public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance
in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so
taken or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and Landlord
shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award, or any interest
therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or
conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the
value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing
paragraph, any compensation specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business,
Tenant's personal property, moving cost or loss of goodwill, shall be and remain
the property of Tenant.
If any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the Premises
or any part thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body
having the right or power of condemnation of its intention to condemn the
Premises or any portion thereof, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate
this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60) days of the
date of receipt of said written advice, or commencement of said action or
proceeding, or taking conveyance, which termination shall take place as of the
first to occur of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in
which such notice is given or the date on which title to the Premises shall vest
in the condemnor.
In the event of such a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if
the portion of the Premises taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant
can no longer reasonably conduct its business, Tenant shall have the privilege
of terminating this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of such taking or
conveyance, upon written notice to Landlord of its intention so to do, and upon
giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the calendar
month next following the month in which such notice is given, upon payment by
Tenant of the rent from the date of such taking or conveyance to the date of
termination.
If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in
lieu thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as
provided herein, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the
part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the rent herein shall be
apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the
rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the portion of
the Premises not so taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises
prior to such taking.
22. SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. In the event of a sale or conveyance of the
Premises or any interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then
constituting Landlord, the transferor shall thereby be released from any further
liability upon any of the terms, covenants or conditions (express or implied)
herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, insofar as such transfer
is concerned, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the
successor in interest of such transferor in and to the Premises and this Lease.
This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Tenant
agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.

23. ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY. In the event the interest of Landlord
in the land and buildings in which the leased Premises are located (whether such
interest of Landlord is a fee title interest or a leasehold interest) is
encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is acquired by the lender or any
third party through judicial foreclosure or by exercise of a power of sale at
private trustee's foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the
purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease. In the event the lien of the deed of trust securing
the loan from a Lender to Landlord is prior and paramount to the Lease, this
Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for the remainder of
the unexpired term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved and upon all the
other terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.
24. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other
termination of the term of this Lease with the written consent of Landlord
delivered to Tenant shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or
give Tenant any rights in or to the leased Premises except as expressly provided
in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of the
term of this Lease, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a
tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified
insofar as applicable except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be increased to
an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Basic Rent
required during the last month of the Lease term.
25. CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL. Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten
(10) days prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and
in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in
advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying
such defaults, if any, are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.
Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive
upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification
except as may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord's performance, and that not more than one month's rent has been paid in
advance.
26. CONSTRUCTION CHANGES. It is understood that the description of the Premises
and the location of ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are subject
to such minor changes as Landlord or Landlord's architect determines to be
desirable in the course of construction of the Premises, and no such changes
shall affect this Lease or entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or
result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant. Landlord does not guarantee the
accuracy of any drawings supplied to Tenant and verification of the accuracy of
such drawings rests with Tenant.
27. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by
Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, or other rent, required to be paid by
it hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written
notice by Landlord, or shall fail to perform any other term or covenant
hereunder on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord, without
waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may, but
shall not be obliged to, make any such payment or perform any such other term or
covenant on Tenant's part to be performed. All sums so paid by Landlord and all
necessary costs of such performance by Landlord together with interest thereon
at the rate of the prime rate of interest per annum ad quoted by the Bank of
America from the date of such payment on performance by Landlord, shall be paid
(and Tenant covenants to make such payment) to Landlord on demand by Landlord,
and Landlord shall have (in addition to any
Page 14 of 18
Initials: __________
Initials: __________
15
other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of
nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of failure by Tenant in the payment of rent
hereunder.
28. ATTORNEYS' FEES.
A. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the
possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum under this Lease, or
because of the breach of any provision of this Lease, or for any other relief
against the other party hereunder, then all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be
paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall
be deemed to have occurred on the date of the commencement of such action and
shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.
B. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against
Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy hereunder, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including a
reasonable attorney's fee.
29. WAIVER. The waiver by either party of the other party's failure to perform
or observe any term, covenant or condition herein contained to be performed or
observed by such waiving party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or of any subsequent failure of the party failing to
perform or observe the same or any other such term, covenant or condition
therein contained, and no custom or practice which may develop between the
parties hereto during the term hereof shall be deemed a waiver of, or in any way
affect, the right of either party to insist upon performance and observance by
the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof.
30. NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations which may
be or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be
in writing. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Landlord
to Tenant shall be sufficiently given, made or delivered if personally served on
Tenant by leaving the same at the premises of it sent by United States certified
or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at the Premises. All
notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Tenant to Landlord shall
be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to Landlord at its offices at A&P Foundations, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000. Each notice, request, demand, advice
or designation referred to in this paragraph shall be deemed received on the
date of the personal service or mailing thereof in the manner herein provided,
as the case may be.
31. EXAMINATION OF LEASE. Submission of this instrument for examination or
signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease,
and this instrument is not effective as a lease or otherwise until its execution
and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
32. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails
to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no
event earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose name and address shall have heretofore been furnished to Tenant in
writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligations is such that
more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not
be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

33. CORPORATE AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation (or a partnership), each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation (or partnership)
represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of said corporation (or partnership) in accordance with the
by-laws of said corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership

34. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing
hereunder, Tenant and all successors and assigns covenant and agree that, in the
event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord:

Landlord and also by any partner of Landlord.
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 statute or at common law.
35. SIGNS. No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice shall be
inscribed, displayed or printed or affixed on or to any part of the outside of
the Premises or any exterior windows of the Premises without the written consent
of Landlord first had and obtained and Landlord shall have the right to remove
any such sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice without notice to
and at the expense of Tenant. If Tenant is allowed to print or affix or in any
way place a sign in, on or about the Premises, upon expiration or other sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense shall both
remove such sign and repair all damage in such a manner as to restore all
aspects of the appearance of the Premises to the condition prior to the
placement of said sign.
All approved signs or lettering on outside doors shall be printed,
