shall be at the rate set forth in Lessor's written notice to Lessee concerning
Lessee's occupancy of the unrented space. Lessee's obligation to pay rent for
the unrented space shall be effective as of the date in which Lessor gives

the unrented space shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease.
The terms and conditions of this Lease are confidential, and Lessee agrees not
to reveal said terms and conditions to any third parties. Lessee's disclosure of
---
the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be cause for Lessor at
2
Lessor's sole discretion to immediately terminate this Lease, or increase
Lessee's rental rates to Lessor's current asking price.
Rent shall be payable on or before the first day of each and every calendar
month during the term hereof. If the term commences on a day other than the
first day of the calendar month, rent shall be prorated based on the portion of
the calendar month remaining. Lessee's first payment shall include one month's
full rent, plus any partial calendar month's rent for the first month of the
Lease, plus the last month's rent, plus the security deposit and a set-up fee of
$150.00. At all times Lessee shall maintain the last month's rent with Lessor in
an amount equal to one (1) times the monthly rent paid by Lessee for the
Premises.
In addition to payment of the rent set forth herein. Lessee agrees to the
following: from any payment made by Lessee. Lessor shall first apply such sums
as are necessary to meet any of Lessee's outstanding obligations to Lessor. Said
obligations may arise from matters such as services Lessor provides Lessee. Any
remaining balance shall then be applied to Lessee's rent obligation in the
amount set forth above. In the event such remaining balance is not sufficient to
meet Lessee's rental obligation. Lessee shall pay upon written demand by Lessor
any remaining sums due. Failure to pay said sums when so demanded shall
constitute an event of default under this Lease.
Any and all sums Lessee is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease
shall be construed as rent obligations in addition to the monthly rent set forth
herein. Such additional rent shall include a service charge of Fifty Dollars
($50.00) for each of Lessee's dishonored checks returned by the institution on
which said checks are drawn. If at any time during the term of this Lease Lessee
has tendered payment by check and Lessee's bank returns more than one such
payment for any reason including insufficient funds. Lessor may, at its option,
require all future payments be made by cashier's check. A Two Hundred Dollar
($200.00) handling charge for each Three Day Notice or Notice of Termination of
Services which Lessor is required to serve upon Lessee due to Lessee's failure
to make timely rent payments or breach of any other term or condition of this
Lease shall be assessed against Lessee to be paid with the monthly rent in the
event more than one of either notice is served during the term of the Lease. A
Seven Hundred Fifty Dollar ($750.00) handling charge will be further assessed
against Lessee in the event that Lessee does not render payment after service of
a Three Day Notice and Lessor then serves Lessee with an Unlawful Detainer
Action. Should Lessee not tender payment of the rent by the first (1st) business
day of each month, a late charge shall be assessed in an amount of five cents
($0.05) for each dollar ($1.00) so overdue for the purpose of defraying the
expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. In addition, Lessor may
discontinue any and all services provided Lessee, including, but not limited to,
use of all common areas, e.g., library and conference room, telephone answering
service, photocopying, word processing, fax and legal research. Should Lessor
discontinue any services above for non-payment, an administrative fee of One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) will be assessed to reinstate said services. Lessee
hereby releases Lessor, its employees, agents, principals and contractors from
any liability for damages which Lessee may suffer as a result of Lessor's
suspension of services for the reasons stated herein.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease by Lessee. Lessee
will pay a security deposit in an amount of $1,550.00 which is equal to one (1)
---------
times the monthly rent plus a services deposit of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($250.00) as security for the performance by Lessee of its obligations under
this Lease. The security deposit will not be interest-bearing to Lessee. Lessor
will retain the security deposit during Lessee's tenancy. Lessee shall not apply
the security deposit as rent. If Lessee remains in the Premises after the
expiration date of this Lease, the security deposit will be retained by Lessor
until Lessee moves out of the Premises. Lessor may claim and retain such amount
of Lessee's security deposit as is reasonable necessary to remedy any defaults
of the Lessee in the payment of rent or services, to repair damages to the
Premises caused by the Lessee, replacement of keys and any other outstanding
obligations to Lessor, and Lessor may, at its option and at any time during the
term of this Lease, treat the security deposit as a partial payment applied
toward Lessee's obligation for the Premises during Lessee's last month of
occupancy of the same. The parties expressly agree that the security deposit is
made for all of the aforesaid specific purposes. At all times Lessee shall
maintain a security deposit with Lessor in an amount equal to one (1) times the
monthly rent paid by Lessee for the Premises rent plus
3
a services deposit of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00). Lessor shall xxxx
Lessee for any such additional security deposit as required. Lessor will refund
Lessee's security deposit, less any offsets as set forth in this paragraph,
approximately thirty (30) days after Lessee's tenancy has terminated and
Lessee's has vacated, returned keys and removed any and all items of personal
property from the Premises.
6. USE Lessee shall use the Premises solely for SALES/MKTG, and for
----------
no other purpose. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
the Suite and Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the
rights of other tenants or occupants of the Suite, or injure or annoy them, or
use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance
in, on or about the Premises. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed
any waste in or upon the Premises. Lessee agrees that Lessee will not offer or
use the Premises to provide to others, services provided by Lessor to Lessor's
other lessees. (I.E. Fax Machines, Copiers, etc.). If Lessee leases one or more
desk spaces, no desk space may be occupied by more than one person. Lessee
agrees that no office shall be occupied by more than two (2) persons without the

devices are allowed to be located in each office and not more than one in each
desk space. Lessor will provide all photocopy and fax services for the Premises
and Lessee shall not be permitted to install any fax or photocopy, machines in
the Leased Premises.
7. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
Lessee's Defaults. Any of the following defaults shall constitute a
-----------------
material default by Lessee:
(a) If Lessee fails to make any payment of rent, additional security
deposit or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and
when due.
(b) If Lessee withholds rent, deducts or offsets from rent or services
due hereunder any amount for any reason.

Lease, (ii) Lessor may recover, in addition to any rent and other charges
already due and payable, all rent for the entire unexpired balance of the stated
term of this Lease and all costs incurred by Lessor to recover such sums from

from Lessee. All rights and remedies of Lessor under this Lease shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or

of such default by Lessor, (iii) Lessor may terminate all services provided
Lessee, including, but not limited to, use of all common areas, e.g., library
and conference room, telephone answering service, photocopying, word processing,
fax and legal research.
8. HIRING LESSOR'S EMPLOYEES. Lessor spends a great deal of time to
hire and train employees for the operation of the Suite and other suites. Lessee
derives the benefit of Lessor's experience in operating the Suite and of such
hiring and training procedures. Lessee realizes the time and expense Lessor
incurs to obtain personnel, and Lessee therefore agrees not to offer or accept
for hire any of Lessor's employees at any time during the term or any extension
or renewal of this Lease. "Lessor's employees" include Lessor's employees during
the period of their employment with Lessor and for a period of one hundred
eighty (180) days thereafter.
4
Lessor and Lessee have considered the matter and have reasonably endeavored to
estimate the actual damages to Lessor in the event Lessee breaches this
provision and offers or accepts for hire any of Lessor's employees, and both
realizing that it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the actual
damage to Lessor resulting from such offer or hiring of Lessor's employees.
Lessor and Lessee therefore agree that if Lessee offers or accepts for hire any
of Lessor's employees at any time during the term or any extension of renewal of
this Lease, or within one hundred eighty (180) days after Lessee moves out of
Lessor's offices. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor the sum of Five Thousand dollars
($5,000.00) for the employee so hired to compensate Lessor for Lessor's loss in
hiring and training said employee. Said sum represents the amount agreed upon by
the parties as Lessor's liquidated damages.
9. INSURANCE. Lessor has blanket liability insurance coverage for the
common areas in the Suite. Lessor's insurance does not cover the Lessee's
Premises or Lessee's property in the Suite and Premises. Lessor shall not be
liable to Lessee, or to any other person, for any damages or business
interruption on account of loss, damage, fire or theft of any personal or
business property, including, but not limited to, property left with the floor
receptionist or telephone operators, door lettering or other property purchased
by, or belonging to, Lessee.

All claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises, or from the conduct of
Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or
suffered by Lessee in the Premises and shall further indemnify and hold harmless
Lessor from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in
the performance under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any negligence of
the Lessee or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, visitors, or employees, and
from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred
in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon,
and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason of any
such claim. Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at Lessee's
expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor's landlord. Lessee, as a
material part of the consideration to Lessor and Lessor's landlord, hereby
assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in the Premises and
Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
Lessee shall maintain a policy (issued by a company reasonably acceptable
to Lessor) of comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single
limit of not less than $1,000,000 insuring against all liability of Lessee and
its agents arising out of Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises and
including contractual liability coverage for the indemnification obligations of
Lessee under this lease. This policy of insurance shall name the Lessor as an
additional insured and shall include cross liability endorsements in favor of
the Lessor. Lessee's insurance shall be primary and non contributing with any
insurance carried by Lessor, and shall contain an endorsement requiring at least
sixty (60) days prior written notice of cancellation to Lessor. Lessee shall
deliver a certificate of insurance to Lessor prior to taking occupancy of the
Premises and shall provide evidence of renewed insurance coverage prior to the
expiration of any policies. No insurance required or obtained by Lessee
hereunder shall limit any liabilities or obligations of Lessee to Lessor under

provision of any law which may give Lessee any right of election to terminate
this Lease or to surrender possession of the Premises by reason of the
termination of the Master Lease. This paragraph does not obligate Lessee in any
way to the Master Lessor of the Building or to anyone else, for anyone else's

any breach of this Lease by Lessee, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover as an element of his cost of suit, and not as damages, reasonable
attorney's fees to be fixed by the court. The "prevailing party" shall be the
party who is entitled to recover his costs of suit, whether or not the suit
proceeds to final judgment. The party not entitled to recover his costs shall
not recover attorney's fees. No sum for attorney's fees shall be counted in

be created if Lessee were to represent or act as Legal counsel for the
employees, officers, vendors, contractors, landlords and/or tenants of Lessor.
Therefore, so long as Lessee is a tenant of Lessor, Lessee shall be prohibited
from representing Lessor's employees, officers, vendors, contractors, landlords
