Rent shall be increased periodically to the amounts and at the

D. EXPENSES. The purpose of this Section 4.c is to ensure that
Tenant bears a share of all Expenses related to the use,
maintenance, ownership, repair or replacement, and insurance
of the Project. Accordingly, beginning on the date Tenant
takes possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
that portion of Tenant's share of Expenses related to the
Project which is in excess of the Annual Expense Base shown in
Section 1.
1) EXPENSES DEFINED. The term "Expenses" shall mean all
costs and expenses of the ownership, opera, and
insurance of the Project, including without limitation,
the following costs:
2
3
(e) Real Property Taxes including all taxes, assessments (general
and special) and other impositions or charges which may be
taxed, charged, levied, assessed or imposed upon all or any
portion of or in relation to the Project or any portion
thereof, any leasehold estate in tie Premises or measured by
rent from the Premises, including any increase caused by the
transfer, sale or encumbrance of the Project or any portion
thereof. "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any form of
assessment, levy penalty, charge or tax (other than estate,
inheritance, net income or franchise taxes) imposed by any
authority having a direct or indirect power to tax or charge,
including, without limitation, any city, county, state,
federal or any improvement or other district, whether such tax
is (1) determined by the area of the Project or the rent or
other sums payable under this Lease; (2) upon or with respect
to any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project
or any part thereof; (3) upon this transaction or any document
to which Tenant is a party creating a transfer in any interest
in the Project; (4) in lieu of or as a direct substitute in
whole or in part of or in addition to any real property taxes
on the Project; (5) based on any parking spaces or parking
facilities provided in the Project; or (6) in consideration
for services, such as police protection, fire protection,
street, side walk and roadway maintenance, refuse removal or
other services that may be provided by any governmental or
quasi-governmental agency from time to time which were
formerly provided without charge or with less charge to
property owners or occupants.
2) ANNUAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES. When Tenant takes possession of the
Premises, Landlord shall estimate Tenant's portion of Expenses for the
remainder of the calendar year based on the Tenant's portion of the
Project Area set forth in Section 1. At the commencement of each
calendar year thereafter, Landlord shall estimate Tenant's portion of
Expenses for the coming year based on the Tenant's portion of the
Project Area set forth in Section 1.
3) MONTHLY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. If Tenant's portion of said estimate of
Expenses shows an increase for the remainder of the calendar year over
the Annual Expense Base, as set forth in Section 1, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as additional rent, such estimated increase in monthly
installments of one-twelfth (1/12) beginning on the date Tenant takes
possession of the Premises. If Tenant's portion of said estimate of
Expenses shows an increase for subsequent calendar years over the
Annual Expense Base, as set forth in Section 1 ,Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as additional rent, such estimated increase in monthly
installments o, one-twelfth f1/12) beginning on January 1 of the
forthcoming calendar year, and one-twelfth 11/12) on the first day of
each succeeding calendar month. As soon as practical following each
calendar year, Landlord shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses
incurred during the prior calendar year and such accounting shall
reflect Tenant's share of Expenses. If the additional rent paid by
Tenant under this Section 4.c.3 during the preceding calendar year was
less than the actual amount of Tenant's share of Expenses, Landlord
shall so notify Tenant and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord
within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Such amount shall be deemed
to have accrued during the prior calendar year and shall be due and
payable from Tenant even though, the term of this Lease has expired or
this Lease has been terminated prior to Tenant's receipt of this
notice. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice
to contest the amount due BUT TENANT SHALL PAY ITS SHARE OF THE
EXPENSES DURING SUCH PROTEST; failure to so notify Landlord shall
represent final determination of Tenant's share of expenses.
If Tenant's payments were greater than the actual amount, then such
overpayment shall be credited by Landlord to all present rent due under
this Section 4.c.3. TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A REASONABLE
INSPECTION OR AUDIT OF THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF LANDLORD UPON NOTICE
AND DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS AT TENANT'S SOLE COST.

4) RENT WITHOUT OFFSET AND LATE CHARGE. All rent shall be paid by Tenant
to Landlord monthly in advance on the first day of every calendar
month, at the address shown in Section 1, or such other place as
Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. All rent shall be
paid without prior demand or notice and without any deduction or offset
whatsoever. All rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the United
States of America All rent due for any partial month shall be prorated
at the rate of 1/30th of the total monthly rent per day. Tenant
acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or
other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease the exact amount of such costs being
extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include,
without limitation processing and accounting charges and late charges
that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note
secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any rent or other sum due from
Tenant is not received when clue, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
additional sum equal to 10% of such overdue payment. Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of
any such late payment and that the late charge is in addition to any
and all remedies available to the Landlord and that the assessment
and/or collection of the late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of
any other default. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other
sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the then maximum
lawful rate permitted to be charged by Landlord. Any payments of any
kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional
handling charge of $25.00, and thereafter, Landlord may require Tenant
to pay all future payments of rent or other sums due by money order or
cashier's check.

the prepaid rent set forth in Section 1, and if Tenant is not in default of
any provisions of this Lease, such prepaid rent shall be applied toward the
rent due for the last month of the term. Landlord's obligations with
respect to the prepaid rent are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and
Landlord can commingle the prepaid rent with Landlord's general funds.
Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the prepaid rent.

rent; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's
acceptance of this lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease,
Landlord shall return said prepaid rent.

deposit set forth in Section 1 with Landlord, in part as security for the

for any damages sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant's default. Upon
demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion
of the security deposit expanded or applied by Landlord to maintain the
security deposit in the amount initially deposited with Landlord. In no
event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the security deposit
to any rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default

of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the security
deposit with landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to
pay Tenant interest on the deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to

a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law of
any partner; or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a

stock possessing at least 25% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote
for election of directors. This Section 18 shall not apply to corporations
the stock of which is traded through an exchange or over the counter. All
rent received by Tenant from its subtenants in excess of the rent payable
by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord, or any

of this Lease shall be paid to Landlord. If Tenant requests Landlord to
consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, $100 or Landlord's
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such request,
whichever is greater. Any transfer of a controlling percentage of capital
stock to merger, consolidation or reorganization with any affiliated
entity, family member or person having interest in Tenant shall not be
deemed an assignment or subletting hereunder.
No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary
assignment through operation of law (including without limitation the
transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts
shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) If Tenant is or becomes
bankruptcy or insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors,

bankrupt; or if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person
or entity, if any partner or the partnership or other person or entity is
or becomes bankrupt or insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or (b) ____ a writ of attachment or execution ________ on this
Lease; or (c) If in any proceeding or action ____ which Tenant is a party,
a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises.

hereby grants Landlord full and free right, whether by changing or picking
of locks in necessary, to enter and repossess the Premises, with or without
process of law. Tenant releases Landlord of any liability for any damage
resulting therefrom and waives any right to claim damage for such re-entry.
Tenant also agrees that Landlord has not waived or relinquished any other
right given to it hereunder or by operation of law. No act by Landlord
other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of
maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a
receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this

Upon termination of Tenant's right to possession, Landlord has the right to
recover from Tenant: (1) The worth of the unpaid rent that had been earned
at the time of termination of Tenant's right to possession; (2) The worth
of the amount of the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date
of termination of Tenant's right to possession; (3) Any other amount,
including court, attorney and collection costs necessary to compensate
Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default. "The
Worth," as used for Item 20(1) in this Paragraph 20 is to be computed by
allowing interest at the maximum rate an individual is permitted to charge
by law or 12%, whichever is greater. "The worth at the time of the
7
8
award" as used for Item 20(2) in this Paragraph 20 is to be computed by
discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco at the time of termination of Tenant's right of possession.
