interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease. It is specifically understood that Lessee shall have no right at any

be presented to Lessor in written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor
shall give its consent to Lessee's making such alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations, the consent shall be deemed conditioned
upon
Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the applicable governmental agencies,
furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the commencement of the work,
and
compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and
expeditious manner.
(c)

claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend itself and
Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment
that
may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or
the
Premises, the Building or the Office Building Project, upon the condition that

the
Building and the Office Building Project free from the effect of such lien

Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy filing; (iv)
a
Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty; or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its
guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee's failure, within
sixty
(60) days following written notice of any such event, to provide written
alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the then existing
resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of
Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this
Lease.
(h)
In the
event Lessee has one or more additional leases for other premises in the Office
Building Project, then it is acknowledged and agreed that a default under such
additional lease(s) shall also constitute a default under this
Lease.
13.2
Remedies.
If
Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within
ten
(10) days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice),
Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf,
including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee upon receipt of invoice therefore. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option,
may require all future payments to be made by Lessee to be by cashier's check.
In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand,
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy, which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach:
(a)
Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means,
in
which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender
possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from
Lessee (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(ii) 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; (iii) 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 (iv)
any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment
proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under
this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of
the
Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration
of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of any leasing
commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the
unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award
plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's
Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under
Paragraph 12.If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor
may
reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If
a
notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 were not previously given,
a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the
unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph
13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1
and
the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee
to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall
constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor
to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

(b)
Continue
this Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes
due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations, as described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4. Acts of
maintenance, efforts to re-let, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect
the Lessor's interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's
right
to possession.
(c)
Pursue
any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions
of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination
of
this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not
relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease
as to
matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's
occupancy of the premises.
13.3
Inducement Recapture.
Any
agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the giving or paying
by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or
consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions
are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions," shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee,
any
such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease
and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement
or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an
inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee The acceptance
by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of
such
acceptance.
13.4
Late Charges.
Lessee
hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent 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 that may be imposed upon
Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor
within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any
requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time late
charge equal to six percent (6%) of each 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 such late payment. Acceptance of such
late
charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default
or
Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any
of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge
is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease
to
the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable
quarterly in advance.
13.5
Returned Check Charges.
Lessee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that a service charge of $50.00 will be assessed
and charged to Lessee for each check that is returned because of insufficient
funds.
13.6
Notice to Pay Rent Charge.
Lessee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that a charge of $75.00 will be assessed and
charged to Lessee for each Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (or other
termination notice based on Default) served on Lessee.
Β
14.
CONDEMNATION.
If the
Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building Project are taken under
the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes
title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of the
Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such condemnation as would
substantially and adversely affect the operation and profitability of Lessee's
business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall have the option, to be
exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after Lessor shall have given
Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within
thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession),
to
terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such
possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the
foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion
of
the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the proportion
that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of
the
Premises, Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable
by
Lessee and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason
thereof. Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this
Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving
written notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt
of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises
or
the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any diminution
in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages;
provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for
loss
of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable personal property and
unamortized tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that
purpose the cost of such improvements shall be amortized over the original
term
of this Lease excluding any options. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of
severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation,
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the
extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority.
Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to
complete such repair.

to such party, or it shall be conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease
is
in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented
by
the requesting party, (ii) there are not uncured defaults in the requesting

or
any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser
designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably
required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past
three (3) years financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements
shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and

16.
LESSOR'S LIABILITY.
The
term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners, at the time
in
question, of the fee title or a lessee's interest in a ground lease of the
Office Building Project. In the event of any transfer of such title or interest,
Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the grantor)
shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability
as
respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any
funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer,
in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The
obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject
as
aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns only during their
respective periods of ownership.
17.
SEVERABILITY.
The
invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision
hereof.
18.
INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS.
Except
as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall
bear interest at the maximum rate then allowable by law or judgments from the
date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by
Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that interest shall not be payable
on late charges incurred by Lessee.
19.
TIME OF ESSENCE.
Time is
of the essence with respect to the obligations to be performed under this
Lease.
20.
ADDITIONAL RENT.
All
monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease,
including but not limited to late charges, Three-Day Notice charges (Paragraph

by
Lessee hereunder shall be deemed to be rent.
20.1
Credits to Lessee's Account.
Lessor
shall promptly credit Lessee's account for all payments received from Lessee.
Such payments shall be first credited to those sums due under this Lease
Agreement, including but not limited to Base Rent, late charges, 3-Day Notice
charges (Paragraph 13.6), returned check fees and attorney's fees which were
incurred earliest in time (oldest chargeable items). Nothing in this paragraph
(including Lessor's acceptance of a partial payment on account balance) shall
be
construed or constitute a waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof or of any
subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision.
21.
INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS.
This
Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter
mentioned herein. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding
pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified
in
writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification.
Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledged that
neither any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Lessor nor any
employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written
warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by
Lessee of the Premises or the Office Building Project and Lessee acknowledges
that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health
Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, the legal use and adaptability
of
the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations
in effect during the term of this Lease.

be
deemed sufficiently given if delivered or addressed to Lessee or to Lessor
at
the address noted below or adjacent to the signature of the respective parties,
as the case may be. Mailed notices shall be deemed given upon actual receipt
at
the address required, or forty-eight hours following deposit in the mail,
postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either party may by notice to the
other
specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking
possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address
for
notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to
Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties
at
such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice
to
Lessee.
23.
WAIVERS.
No
waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other
provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other
provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed
to
render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to or approval of any
subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall
not
be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other
than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless
of
Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.
24.
RECORDING.

Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the other a 'short form' memorandum of this Lease for recording
purposes.
25.

thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such occupancy shall be a
tenancy as defined by Section 1945 of the California Civil Code with all of

the rent payable shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the rent payable
immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease, and all Options,
if
any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be
of
no further effect during said tenancy.

with regard to this leasing transaction. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the termination of this Lease.

Building Project and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and
to
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession
of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long

If
any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and
any
Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or
ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and
such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or subsequent to
the

thereof.
(b)
Lessee
agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an attornment,
subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein prior to
the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be.
Lessee=s
failure
to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall
constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder without further notice to
Lessee or, at Lessor=s
option,
Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee and Lessee=s
attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint
Lessor as Lessee=s

whether or not such action is pursued to decision or judgment.
31.2

attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee
schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably
incurred in good faith.

to
reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in the

or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such
default.

To the
extent permitted by law, Lessor and Lessee hereby waive their respective right
to trial by jury of any cause of action, claim, counterclaim or cross-complaint
in any action, proceeding and/or hearing brought by either Lessor against Lessee
or Lessee against Lessor on any matter whatsoever arising out of, or in any
way
connected with, this lease, the relationship of Lessor and Lessee, Lessee's
use
or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the

the
Premises or an eviction. Lessee waives any charges for damages or injuries
or
interference with Lessee's property or business in connection
therewith.
33.
AUCTIONS. Lessee
shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, an auction upon the premises or the Common Areas without first

the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard

of

shall
constitute a material default of this Lease.

option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all of such
subtenancies.

Reportable Uses Require Consent.
(a)
The term
"Hazardous
Substance"

in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste whose presence, use,
manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release, either by itself or in
combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is either
(i)
potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the environment
or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental authority,
or
(iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any governmental agency
or
third party under any applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous
Substances shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleums,
gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions thereof.
Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which constitutes
a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written
consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at Lessee's expense) with all
applicable laws, covenants, or restrictions of record, building codes,
regulations and ordinances ("Applicable Requirements"). "Reportable Use" shall
mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank,
(ii)
the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a
Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a
report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with
any
governmental authority, and/or (iii) the presence at the Premises of a Hazardous
Substance with respect to which any Applicable Requirements require that a
notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring
properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and
customary materials reasonably required to be used in the normal course of
the
Use as specified in paragraph 1.4 so long as such use is in compliance with
all
Applicable Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the
Premises or neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or
damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may
condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional
assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public,
the Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or
liability, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on
or
before Lease expiration or termination) of protective modifications (such as
concrete encasements) and/or increasing the Security Deposit.
(b)
Duty to Inform Lessor.
If
Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance

come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, other than as previously
consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such
fact to Lessor, and provide Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim

other documentation which it has concerning the presence of such Hazardous
Substance.

limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property
