As part of Tenant’s lease of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to install and operate one (1) automatic teller machine (“ATM”) in the area shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ATM Area”). “Floor Area” means to each building or parts thereof within the shopping center, including Tenant’s premises, the actual number of square feet of ground floor space measured to the exterior faces of exterior walls and to the center of common walls, including columns, stairs elevators, and escalators. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of the date and time at which Landlord will measure the Premises (which shall in no event be more than 60 days after the Commencement Date), and Tenant shall have the right to have a representative present during such measurement.
Section 1.02 Common Areas. In addition to the use and occupation of the Premises, Tenant and Tenant’s agents, employees, customers and invitees shall also have the non-exclusive use, in common with others entitled thereto from time to time, of all areas within the exterior boundaries of the Center, as shown in Exhibit A attached hereto, which have not been reserved for the exclusive use of a tenant of the Center, Landlord or their agents, employees, customers and invitees, as the same shall exist from time to time, including but not limited to the parking areas, service roads, loading facilities, service corridors, sidewalks and such other common facilities as may be designated from time to time by Landlord at the Center (all of which, hereafter, are the “Common Areas”). Tenant’s use of all Common Areas is subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to time. Landlord expressly reserves the right to change the layout or facilities of the Center, from time to time, including the right to add to or subtract from the shape or size of the Common Areas, and to alter the location, kind and quantity of facilities included in the Common Areas. The condemnation or other taking, or sale in lieu of condemnation, of any or all of such Common Areas shall not constitute an interference with Tenant’s non-exclusive use.
Landlord shall make no changes or additions to the Common Area or Center which change the nature of the Center to something other than a first class retail/commercial Center or which materially adversely affect (a) Tenant’s use of the Premises or (b) Tenant’s ingress to or egress from the Premises or the parking areas serving the same, or that (c) materially
-1-
increase Tenant’s obligations under the Lease or (d) materially decrease Tenant’s rights under the Lease.

ARTICLE 5 – TAXES
Section 5.01 Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. In addition to the other amounts set forth in this Lease, Tenant will also pay, commencing on the Commencement Date, a pro rata share of Real Estate Taxes (as hereafter defined) assessed against the tax parcel of which the Premises is a part (the “Tax Parcel”). For purposes of this Lease, Real Estate Taxes shall mean the total real estate taxes, levies and assessments and all other charges in the nature of taxes and assessments upon Landlord’s land and buildings in the Tax Parcel whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary or of any kind or nature whatsoever heretofore or during the term of this Lease laid, levied, assessed or imposed or which become a lien upon or chargeable against or payable in connection with Landlord’s land and buildings in the Tax Parcel or any part thereof, including the common use areas, assessed with respect to any calendar year, all or part of which falls within the term of this Lease. Should the State of California, or any political subdivision thereof, or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Center, specifically impose a tax, assessment, charge or fee or specifically increase a then existing tax, assessment, charge or fee, which Landlord shall be required to pay, either by way of substitution for said real estate taxes or assessed against such land and buildings, or in addition thereto, or impose a tax on rents in substitution for a general tax levied against such land or such buildings, such taxes, assessments, charges or fees shall be deemed to constitute a Real Estate Tax hereunder to the extent said taxes are in substitution therefore, or in addition hereto. All of Landlord’s reasonable expenditures for attorneys’ fees, appraisers’ fees, experts’ fees and other costs incurred in respect of its efforts to minimize Real Estate Taxes shall be included in the definition of Real Estate Taxes for the purposes of this Article 5. Tenant’s pro rata share of all such Real Estate Taxes shall be based on the ratio of the total number of square feet of Tenant’s Premises to the total number of square feet of rentable floor space in all of Landlord’s buildings in the Tax Parcel (but in no event less than 15,000 square feet). Tenant’s pro rata share of all such Real Estate Taxes during the term hereof shall be paid in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Lease term, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord. Upon receipt of all tax bills and assessment bills attributable to any calendar year during the Lease term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement of the actual amount of Tenant’s pro rata share of the taxes and assessments for such year. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this Article for any calendar year during the term of this Lease shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year as shown on such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord; and if the total amount paid by Tenant hereunder for any such calendar year shall exceed such actual amount due from Tenant for such calendar year, such excess shall be credited against payments of Real Estate Taxes hereunder next due, or, if no payments are next due, refunded by Landlord. All amounts due hereunder shall by payable in the manner and at such place as the rent payments provided for in Article 3 hereof Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration of the term of this Lease.
In the event all or any installment of any special assessment or assessments, or improvement or other bonds, shall become due and payable in regard to the Tax Parcel by Landlord during any calendar year in which part or all of any Lease Year falls after the date on
-5-
which rent begins, Tenant shall pay its pro rata share of such assessments or bonds computed on the same basis as Tenant’s share of Real Estate Taxes. Upon receipt of the xxxx or bills covering such special assessments, or improvement or other bonds Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay and Tenant shall pay same, with the next installment of rent falling due at least ten (10) days after Landlord’s notice.
Whenever it becomes necessary to determine the total square feet of rentable floor space in Landlord’s buildings under the terms of this Lease, same shall be determined as of the first day of January for the year in question, as the case may be, and shall be measured from the outside of exterior walls or the center of any common walls, as the case may be.
Section 5.02 Personal Property Taxes. During the term hereof, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises, and when possible Tenant shall cause said fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord. In the event any or all of the Tenant’s fixtures furnishings, equipment and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the Landlord’s real property, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to the Tenant’s property.
Section 5.03 Business Taxes. Tenant shall pay all special taxes, assessments and license fees imposed by reason of the use of the Premises for the specific purposes set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s pro rata share, computed in the manner provided in Section 5.01, of all business license, gross rents or other tax imposed on Landlord by reason of Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Center, except any tax which may be imposed on Landlord’s net income from the Center.
ARTICLE 6 – USE
Section 6.01 Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose of a banking facility offering services typically offered at a banking institution, subject to the provisions of this Lease and the Declarations, and for no other purpose.
Section 6.02 Opening and Operation. Tenant shall be required to open for business on or before the later of (i) the Commencement Date or (ii) ninety (90) days following the date on which Tenant has procured its building permit, which Tenant shall apply for promptly and diligently pursue (subject to extension for force majeure or due to Landlord delays). Should Tenant fail to open the Premises for business as and when required hereunder, then the Minimum Monthly Rental due and payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the scheduled Minimum Monthly Rental due and payable by Tenant hereunder for each and every day that Tenant shall fail to commence to open for business in the Premises as herein provided; provided, however, that Landlord’s acceptance of such increased Minimum Monthly Rental shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity. Following Tenant’s opening for business, Tenant shall thereafter have the right to
-6-
cease operations. During all periods in which Tenant is operating from the Premises, Tenant shall conduct business in a first-class manner consistent with all governmental and insurance requirements and reputable business standards and practices, in good faith and in such manner that the high reputation of the Center is maintained.
Section 6.03 Landlord’s Right of Recapture. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Tenant has opened for business but has thereafter ceased operations at the Premises for a period of more than sixty (60) days, subject to force majeure or permitted alterations or reconstruction following casualty or condemnation (which alterations or reconstruction Tenant shall diligently and in good faith commence and pursue to completion), then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days prior written notice, in which event this Lease shall be terminated as of such date (unless Tenant commences operations within such 30-day period), and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any rights or obligations existing as of the date of termination.
Section 6.04 Restrictions. Tenant shall not use the Premises, nor permit same to be used for the manufacture, sale, barter, trade, display, gift or service of intoxicating liquors of any nature whatsoever, pornography, or drug oriented paraphernalia, as the same shall be defined under the Statutes of the United States, the State of California, or any municipal or other governmental authority having jurisdiction or any other goods and/or services which, in the sole discretion of Landlord, are inconsistent with the image of a community or family oriented shopping center. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it will not use or suffer or permit any person or persons to use the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose in violation of the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of the United States of America, the State of California, or any governmental subdivision, department, bureau or agency having jurisdiction.
Tenant agrees not to: (a) permit any unlawful or immoral practice to be carried on or committed on the Premises; (b) make any use of or allow the Premises to be used in any manner or for any purpose that might invalidate or increase the rate of insurance thereof; (c) keep or use or permit to be kept or used on said Premises any inflammable fluids or explosives without in each instance obtaining the prior written approval of Landlord; (d) use the Premises for any purpose whatsoever which might create a nuisance or injure the reputation of the Premises or of the Center; (e) deface or injure the building or Premises; (f) overload the floors or utilities; or (g) commit or suffer any waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance or disturb the quiet enjoyment of other tenants or occupants of the Center. Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent any increase in the cost of insurance on the building or Premises to Landlord as a result of any unauthorized use of the Premises by Tenant, but such payment shall not constitute in any manner a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce all of the covenants and provisions of this Lease.
Tenant shall not violate any exclusive rights granted to other tenants or occupants in the Center as of the date hereof, a list of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G. In addition, Tenant shall not violate any exclusive rights hereafter granted to other tenants or occupants in the Center, so long as Tenant’s permitted use set forth in Section 6.01 is not affected by any such exclusive.
-7-
Tenant shall at Tenant’s own expense make from time to time whatever interior non-structural changes are necessary to comply with the requirements of the insurance underwriters, governmental authorities, or of insurance inspectors designated by Landlord.
Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, install or maintain any device which can be seen, heard or otherwise experienced from outside the Premises, including without limitation, flashing lights, search lights or loudspeakers. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain and repair all such installations permitted by Landlord and at the termination of this Lease shall remove said installations and repair any damage caused by such installation or its removal.
Section 6.05 Signage Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Declarations, and all governmental law, rules and regulations, Tenant shall utilize and install channel lettering on the building to height not to exceed the maximum height allowed by the Shopping Center Sign Criteria attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. In addition, Tenant (a) shall install sign face panels on the “Arrow Highway Monument Sign”, to be constructed by Landlord in the location shown on the attached Site Plan, and (b) has the right to install face panels on the “Fourth Street Monument Sign”, to be constructed by Landlord in the location shown on the attached Site Plan, provided that Tenant shall be required to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s election to be represented on the Fourth Street Monument Sign within ten (10) days following notice from Landlord, and if Tenant either elects not to be represented thereon or fails to respond with in such 10-day period, then Tenant shall no longer have any rights with respect thereto and Landlord is free throughout the term of the Lease to make such panel available to any other occupant of the Center. Tenant’s sign face panels shall be situated in the middle or bottom position on each such Monument Sign, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion.

Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Center as Landlord, in the exercise at its sole business judgment, shall determine to best promote the interests of the Center.

Tenant shall pay before

delinquency all charges for utilities used on the Premises from and after the transfer of premises. If any such charges are not paid when due, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, following notice to Tenant, pay the same and any amount so paid by Landlord shall immediately thereafter become due to Landlord from Tenant as additional rent. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rental by reason of, Landlord’s failure to furnish said utilities, if such failure results from any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, or for injury to person or property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to the furnishing or failure to furnish such utility service. Nothing herein shall limit or restrict Landlord in any way from granting or using utility easements on, across, over and under any portion of the Center, including the Premises.

Section 8.07 Increased Limits. If at any time during the term of this Lease (but no more often than would be commercially reasonable, except if otherwise required by Landlord’s lender), Landlord or Landlord’s lender reasonably shall deem the limits of any of the foregoing insurance requirements to be insufficient based on the then current insurance standards for comparable shopping centers, Landlord shall have the right to reasonably alter or amend any such limits and Tenant agrees to obtain coverage in such reasonably increased amounts as Landlord from time to time may specify.
Section 8.08 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in full force and effect insurance on the Center against such risks and in such amounts as Landlord may in its

Any such improvements by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the design of such improvements satisfies the requirements of all applicable governmental agencies, and Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, deal directly with any authorities respecting their requirements for additions, improvements, alterations or repairs. Landlord agrees that Tenant, at its own expense, from time to time during the term hereof, may make such non-structural alterations, additions and changes to the interior of the Premises which do not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in cost, materially adversely alter the general appearance of the Premises or diminish the value of the Premises, provided that if such alterations, additions or changes exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in cost then Tenant shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of Landlord therefor, and in all events, Tenant shall provide advance prior written notice to Landlord to enable Landlord to post notices of non-responsibility and supply a copy of all working drawings to Landlord for its information and records. In the event of a violation of this provision Tenant shall promptly remove same or take such action with reference thereto as Landlord shall direct. All work with respect to any alterations, additions and changes must be performed in a workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to lien-free completion, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto.

All such alterations, additions or changes, shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, in a manner as not to obstruct access to the premises of any other tenant in the Center and diligently prosecuted to completion. Tenant shall perform or cause Tenant’s contractor to perform, the work in such a manner so as to avoid any labor dispute which causes or is likely to cause stoppage or impairment of work, deliveries or any other services in the Center. In the event that there is any such stoppage or impairment of work, deliveries or any other services in the Center, Tenant shall immediately undertake such action as may be necessary to eliminate such dispute or potential dispute, including, without limitation, removing all disputants from the job site until such time as the labor dispute no longer exists, seeking an injunction in the event of a breach of contract between Tenant and Tenant’s contractor and filing appropriate unfair labor practice charges in the event of a union jurisdictional dispute.

Tenant agrees promptly to pay for, and indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any liability for, any work done or material furnished on behalf of Tenant in or about the Premises and will not permit or suffer any lien to attach to the Premises and shall promptly cause any such lien or any claim therefor to be released; provided, however, that in the event Tenant contests any such claim, Tenant agrees to indemnify and secure Landlord to Landlord’s satisfaction. Tenant shall have no authority or power, express or implied, to create or cause any lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind against the Premises. In the event any such lien is placed against the Center or the Premises, Landlord may, if Tenant fails to so secure Landlord to Landlord’s satisfaction, if it so elects, take all action necessary to remove such lien (without any duty to investigate the validity thereof) and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Landlord in removing such lien, as well as any and all damages suffered by Landlord (including reasonable attorneys fees) as a result of the imposition of said lien. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord (express or implied) to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or material man for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement, alteration or repair to the Premises or the Center. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to go upon and inspect the Premises and post such notices of non-responsibility as Landlord may deem necessary for the protection of Landlord and title to the Premises and the Center from mechanics and materialman’s liens.

The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord, or a mutual termination thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall at the option of the Landlord operate as an assignment to it of any or all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises. At the time of surrender Tenant shall remove its moveable trade fixtures, signs and removable personal property, and all such property belonging to any person claiming through or under Tenant, except as herein set forth, and if Tenant fails to so remove said property, same shall be deemed abandoned to Landlord may remove and store same at Tenants expense.

ARTICLE 14 – DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE
Section 14.01 Reconstruction. In the event of total or partial destruction or damage to the Premises or to a building of which the Premises are a part, by fire or other casualty, the obligations of the parties as to such casualty shall be as follows:
A. | Minor Damage. If the casualty is covered by insurance maintained by Landlord, and if Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the cost of repair is one-third (1/3) or less of the full insurable value of the damaged building immediately prior to such casualty, and if such repair can be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after its commencement and the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are adequate to fully repair such casualty, then Landlord within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such casualty shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intention to repair and shall proceed diligently with such repair, and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. |
B. | Major Damage. It the provisions of paragraph A above shall not apply, then Landlord within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such casualty shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election either to proceed diligently with such repairs, in which case the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or to terminate the Lease which termination shall be effective on the date of notice. |
C. | End of Term. If the casualty occurs during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease as stated in Section 2.01 above, and if a reasonable estimate by Landlord of the cost or repair of the Premises is more than twenty percent (20%) of the full insurable value of the Premises immediately prior to such casualty, then Landlord within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such casualty shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election either to proceed diligently with such repair, in which case the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or to terminate the Lease, which shall be effective on the date set forth in the notice. |
D. | Abatement of Rent. If Tenant is unable to operate its business in all or a part of the Premises as a result of such casualty, then Minimum Monthly Rental and other charges hereunder shall be abated until the damage (including Tenant’s restoration work which Tenant shall perform diligently and in good faith) is repaired or the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section, whichever first occurs, by that proportion which the floor areas of the Premises not available for Tenant’s use shall bear to the total floor area of the Premises. |
E. | Tenant’s Obligation. Landlord’s obligation to reconstruct and restore the Premises shall not apply to trade fixtures, signs, merchandise and other personal property on the Premises, the obligation with respect to which is assumed by Tenant. |
F. | Further Obligations. Any termination under this Section shall release Landlord from further obligation under the Lease, effective immediately, and any such |
-20-
termination also shall release Tenant from such further obligations, to be effective upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises to Landlord; but neither party shall be released thereby from obligations which may have arisen prior to such termination, or prior to such surrender, as the case may be.
Section 14.02 Liability to Tenant. In the event of repair, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages from Landlord by reason of any inconvenience or loss, occasioned by any such casualty, and Tenant shall be obligated to continue in business at the Premises prior to completion of such repair if continuation is reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management. Upon completion of Landlord’s repair work, Tenant shall immediately complete the repair and restoration of the Premises, restock merchandise to the degree required, and immediately reopen the damaged portion of the Premises for business with the public.
In respect to any partial destruction (including any destruction necessary in order to make repair required by any declaration of an unsafe condition by public authority) which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Article 14 the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision (2) and Section 1933, Subdivision (4) of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by Tenant.
Landlord will exercise all termination rights under this Article 14 in good faith and will not terminate the Lease unless it terminates the leases of all tenants similarly affected or merely to gain the benefit of higher market rents if Landlord intends to rebuild. In addition, if, during the last six (6) months of the term of the Lease or any extension thereof, twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises is damaged or destroyed, or if any damage or destruction would take more than sixty (60) days to repair, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction by written notice to Landlord, given within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction.
ARTICLE 15 – COMMON AREAS
Section 15.01 Description. Landlord has constructed or will construct at its own expense and will operate and maintain during the term of this Lease, Common Areas (as defined below) situated generally as shown on Exhibit A hereto, for the purpose of providing parking and other common facilities for customers and patrons of Tenant, customers of other tenants and occupants of the Center, invitees and others claiming through Landlord. Landlord shall keep the Common Areas in a clean and orderly condition, and shall repair any damage thereto and pay all costs incurred in the maintenance and operation of the Common Areas during the term of this Lease, subject to Section 15.02 below. Landlord may at any time close any Common Areas to effect construction, repairs, alterations, additions or changes thereto, or within the Center, to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, or to discourage non-customer parking; and may do such other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its judgment may be desirable to improve the convenience thereof. The manner in which areas and facilities shall be maintained and operated and the expenditures therefor shall be at the sole discretion of the Landlord, but in no event at a lower quality than in other comparable centers within three (3) miles of the Center in the San Xxxxxxx Valley area of southern California. Landlord may appoint a substitute operator to carry out any or all of Landlord’s rights and duties with respect to the Common Areas.
-21-
The term “Common Areas” shall mean the motor vehicle parking areas, driveways, entrances and exits, landscaping, sidewalks, pedestrian entrances and exits, malls and all other areas and facilities within the Center, excepting such areas as from time to time are occupied by buildings, but including common rest room, service corridors and utility and maintenance rooms.
Section 15.02 Common Area Charge. Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rental, a Common Area Charge equal to Tenant’s pro rata share of the Common Area Expenses. The Common Area Expenses shall include all of Landlord’s direct or indirect cost (including amortization, with interest at Landlord’s cost of funds, of capital expenditures, but only those incurred to comply with laws enacted after the Commencement Date or reasonably intended to materially reduce other Common Area Expenses; such amortization shall be over the useful life of the item in question) for operating, administering, managing, maintaining, repairing, protecting, conserving, replacing and improving (subject to the limitations set forth herein) the Center and all installations and facilities within the Center, other than those costs payable by a specific tenant of the Center pursuant to said tenant’s lease. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Landlord’s cost shall include, but not to be limited to the following: lighting, cleaning, removing snow and ice from, painting, draining, insuring, securing, protecting, repairing, maintaining and replacing (to the extent permissible hereunder) installations, facilities, devices and systems within the Center (but any capital expenditures in connection therewith shall be subject to the first sentence above), taxes, wages, benefits and other expenses related to the Center, and a management fee not to exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total of gross rental revenues from the Center, excluding real estate taxes and such management fee. Tenant’s pro rata share of Landlord’s cost shall be based on the ratio which the total square feet of floor space of the Premises, including mezzanines, if any, bears to the total square feet of rentable floor space of all of the buildings in the Center, including mezzanines, but in no event less than 27,500 square feet. Landlord may adopt and change, from time to time, any reasonable method of computing or allocating the Common Area Expenses which is consistent with the above. Landlord may estimate Tenant’s Common Area Charges from time to time in which case Tenant shall pay said estimated Charges at such intervals as Landlord may direct. Any change in said estimate shall become effective thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of its determination under the provisions hereof. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this Article, for any calendar year during the term of this Lease, shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year, as shown on an annual statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Landlord. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this Article for any calendar year during the term of this Lease shall be greater than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next estimated Common Area Maintenance payments due equal to the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due.
-22-
Common Area Expenses shall not include any of the items set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto. Tenant (or its independent certified public accountant) shall have the right, but not more often than one (1) time per year with respect to the immediately prior year’s Common Area Maintenance expenses, to review and/or audit Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s share of any Common Area Maintenance expenses during regular business hours upon at least ten (10) business days prior notice to Landlord. Such audit shall be limited to the determination of the Common Area Maintenance expenses and Tenant’s prorata share thereof and shall be conducted during regular business hours at Landlord’s offices. Tenant shall deliver a copy of such audit to Landlord promptly following Tenant’s receipt thereof. If Landlord’s determination on any statement is found by Tenant to be overstated by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall pay the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses cost incurred by Tenant with respect to such review and/or audit, not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).
Section 15.03 Nature and Extent of Parking Areas. Landlord shall have the right at all times to determine the nature and extent of the parking area and whether the same shall be surface, underground or multi-deck, and to make such changes thereto from time to time as in its opinion shall be deemed desirable, including, without limitation changes in the size and shape of such area, location and relocation of driveways, entrances, exits, parking spaces, the direction and flow of traffic and other matters. Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably designate that portion, if any, of the Common Areas which may be used for automobile parking by Tenant and Tenant’s employees and others claiming under Tenant. Such persons may not park on any portion of the Common Areas except that which is so designated. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a written list of the automobile license numbers of the vehicles customarily used by Tenant, Tenant’s employees and others claiming under Tenant and thereafter shall promptly advise Landlord of any changes. Tenant and its customers shall have the non-exclusive right to use the five (5) parking spaces designated (and marked) as 20-minute parking spaces in the location as shown on Exhibit A.
Section 15.04 Control of Common Areas. Landlord, from time to time during the term hereof, may exclude and restrain any person from use or occupancy of the Common Areas, other than bona fide customers, patrons and suppliers of Tenant and other tenants and occupants of the Center who make use of such areas in accordance with the rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time. The rights of Tenant in the Common Areas shall be subject at all times to the rights of Landlord, other tenants of the Center and other users permitted by Landlord to use the same in common with Tenant, and Tenant shall keep all such areas free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or resulting from Tenant’s operations.
Section 15.05 Common Area Rules. Landlord shall have the right to establish, and from time to time to change, alter and amend, and to enforce against Tenant and the other users of the Common Areas, such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may deem necessary and advisable for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the Common Areas, including, without limitation, the hours during which such areas shall be open for use. Landlord, if in its opinion the same be advisable, may establish a non-discriminatory system of validation, metering or similar operation for the parking areas, including a system of charges
-23-
against non-validated parking checks of users. Tenant agrees to conform to and abide by all such rules and regulations in the use of the Common Areas by Tenant and its customers, patrons and suppliers. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents or employees, shall be liable to Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action, because of any interruption or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any said Common Area services. No interruption or discontinuance shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or any part thereof; nor shall any such interruption or discontinuance relieve Tenant from full performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
Section 15.06 Security. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any liability upon Landlord for any damage to motor vehicles of Tenant, customers, employees, or other persons doing business with Tenant or for loss of property from within such motor vehicles, unless by the negligence or deliberate acts of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees. Tenant acknowledges that by providing security guards for the Common Areas (if Landlord elects to do so), Landlord does not represent, guarantee or assume responsibility that Tenant will be secure from losses caused by the illegal acts of third parties and does not assume responsibility for any such illegal acts.
ARTICLE 16 – DEFAULT
Section 16.01 Grounds for Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
A. | The material falsity of any financial statements of Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease given to Landlord as an inducement to enter into this Lease, or Tenant’s failure, during the existence of this Lease, to produce current financial statements as requested by Landlord or any lender of Landlord, respecting the center or the Premises, within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s written request to Tenant therefor. The identity of any such Guarantor, and the obligations of any such Guarantor relating to this Lease, are set forth, if applicable, in Exhibit “C” hereto. |
B. | The legal abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. |
C. | The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant may specify and require that all such delinquent payments (including, without limitation, returned checks) shall, at Landlord’s option, be tendered by Tenant to Landlord in the form of a cashier’s check or money order, as a condition precedent to Tenant’s cure of such default. Landlord may, in the event of any such failure by Tenant, also require Tenant to pay, in the form of a cashier’s check or money order, in Landlord’s sole discretion, any future payments of rent or other monetary amounts becoming due hereunder during the next succeeding twelve (12) month period of the term hereof. |
-24-
D. | The failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than described in subparagraph (c), above, or as specifically provided elsewhere herein, where such failure shall continue for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than twenty (20) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. |
E. | The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors. |
F. | The filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days). |
G. | The appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises, or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. |
H. | The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises, or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. |
I. | Failure to execute and deliver within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s request therefor the subordination agreement and/or estoppel certificate referred to in Paragraph’s 19.01 and 19.03, respectively. |
Section 16.02 Remedies on Default. In the event of any such material default by breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:
A. | Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default as permitted under applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, the cost of recovering possession (including, but not limited to, a minimum fifty ($50.00) dollar service of process charge and other related legal fees actually and reasonable incurred for the commencement and prosecution of any unlawful detainer or other action to obtain possession of the Premises, to collect rent and other amounts due hereunder, or to otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Lease) of the Premises; the reasonable expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the |
-25-
Premises; reasonable attorneys’ fees; any real estate commission actually paid; and the worth at the time of award determined by the court having jurisdiction thereof of (i) the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) 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 for the same period which Tenant proves would have been reasonably avoided; and (iii) the amount by which the unpaid rent, for the balance of the term after the time of such award, exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided. The worth at the time of award of the sums referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be computed by allowing interest from the due date at the rate provided in Article 16.04 (Interest and Late Charges). The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (iii) above, shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent. Landlord’s rights hereunder shall be deemed subject to the rights granted to Tenant under California Civil Code Section 1951 et.seq. and each applicable subsection thereof.
B. | Maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder, pursuant to Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code or and similar, successor or related provision of law. |
C. | Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decision of the State of California, and recover as damage the value of any free rent, tenant improvements or other lease concessions which may have been granted to Tenant hereunder prior to any such default. Except as required by California law, in no event shall Landlord be required to credit post-judgment replacement Lease rental income against prejudgment rental loss or other monetary damage sustained by Landlord as a result of any such default on the part of Tenant hereunder and Tenant hereby waives any right Tenant may have to so apply such replacement Lease rental credit, if applicable. |
Section 16.03 Waiver of Notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if Tenant is required to comply with any governmental requirement, Tenant shall not be entitled to notice of default from Landlord and a right to cure beyond the period within which such compliance may be required. If in Landlord’s judgment the continuance of any default by Tenant for the full period of notice provided for herein will jeopardize the Premises or the rights of Landlord, Landlord may, with or without notice, elect to perform those acts with respect to which Tenant is in default for the account and at the expense of Tenant.
Section 16.04 Interest and Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to
-26-
ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, any sum accruing to Landlord under the terms and provisions of this Lease which has not been paid when due shall bear interest at the highest lawful rate allowed to be charged by nonexempt lenders on other than consumer loans under the California usury law, from the date same becomes due and payable until paid by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall pay a late service charge in the amount of six percent (6%) of the Basic Monthly Rent, and, following each two (2) consecutive late payment of Rent, Landlord may require Tenant to pay Rent two (2) months in advance. The parties agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of late charges by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
Section 16.05 Other Remedies. Nothing contained herein shall limit Landlord to the remedies set forth in this Article 16. Upon Tenant’s default Landlord shall be entitled to exercise any right or remedy then provided by law or in equity, including, but without limitation, the right to obtain injunctive relief, specific performance and the right to recover all damages caused by Tenant’s default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE 17 – ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES
In case the Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation through all levels of appeal. Tenant shall also pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees that may be incurred or paid by Landlord in enforcing Tenant’s covenants and agreements in this Lease. In the event either party hereto commences legal proceedings to enforce any of the terms of this Lease, or for damages resulting from a breach of this Lease, the successful party in such action shall receive from the other party, in each such action, including any appeal taken thereof, its actual attorneys’ fees and costs incurred. Whenever one party is obligated to indemnify the other party under the terms of this Lease, said duty to indemnify shall include the duty to defend the other party and to pay for all attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements related to said defense.
ARTICLE 18 – EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 18.01 Total Taking. If the entire Premises shall be appropriated or taken under, or in lieu of, the power of eminent domain or inverse condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date of possession shall be so taken and the parties shall be released from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder.
Section 18.02 Partial Taking. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the floor area of the Premises shall be taken, or if, by reason of any taking of all or a portion of the Common Areas, which renders the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s use, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such taking, by giving notice to the other in writing of
-27-
such election within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s notice described below, and the parties shall be released from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the floor area of the other buildings in the Center shall be taken, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, as of the date of such taking, by giving notice to Tenant in writing of such election within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s notice described below, and the parties shall be released from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder. Landlord agrees, within ten (10) days after any such appropriation or taking, to give Tenant notice thereof in writing. If no such notice of termination is given, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant irrevocably waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and any and all provisions of any other statute, law, ordinance or regulation permitting Tenant to terminate the Lease due to any partial taking of the Premises.
Section 18.03 Termination Upon Taking. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Sections 18.01 or 18.02 above, Landlord shall receive the entire award or compensation in such proceedings, but the Rent for the last month of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be pro rated, and Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant any unearned Rent paid in advance.
Section 18.04 Proration. If neither party shall elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18.01 or 18.02 above, or, if a partial taking shall not be such as to give either party the right to terminate, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or compensation in such proceedings and, at its cost and expense, shall restore the remaining premises to a complete unit, of like quality and character as existed prior to such appropriation or taking, to the extent practicable, out of the proceeds received therefor, and thereafter the Minimum Monthly Rental provided for in Section 3.01 above shall be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction of the floor area of the Premises by such taking.
Section 18.05 Tenant’s Rights to Award. The entire award for such taking shall belong to Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns any interest in said award to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to recover from the condemnor such compensation as may be separately awarded by the condemnor to Tenant for the taking of trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment owned by Tenant, as well as Tenant’s moving expenses.
ARTICLE 19 – SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, OFFSET STATEMENT
Section 19.01 Subordination. Tenant hereby subordinates its rights hereunder to all ground or underlying leases, the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to any bank, insurance company or other lender now or hereafter in force against the land and buildings of which the Premises are a part, or against any buildings hereafter placed upon the land of which the Premises are a part, all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof. It shall be a condition to such subordination that Tenant receive a non-disturbance agreement from the ground lessor or lender providing that so long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease, its tenancy will not be disturbed nor this Lease affected by any default under such mortgage or trust deed.
-28-
If any mortgagee or trustee elects to have this Lease and the interest of Tenant hereunder superior to any such interest or right and evidences such election by notice given to Tenant, then this Lease and the interest of Tenant hereunder shall be deemed superior to any such mortgage or trust deed, whether this Lease was executed before or after such mortgage or trust deed and in that event such mortgage or trustee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as if it had been executed and delivered prior to the execution and delivery of the mortgage or trust deed and had been assigned to such mortgagee or trustee.
Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such purposes within fifteen (15) days after demand in writing. Tenant further waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligation of Tenant hereunder in the event any such foreclosure proceeding is brought, prosecuted or completed.
Section 19.02 Attornment. If any such proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, or in the event of Landlord’s default under any ground Lease, or in the event of a sale or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale or upon such default and shall recognize such purchaser or Lessor as Landlord under this Lease.
In the event of a transfer or sale in lieu of foreclosure, transferee shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have by reason of any act of omission of Landlord as prior Lessor, nor for the return of any sums which Tenant may have paid to Landlord as prior Lessor, as and for security deposits, advance rentals, or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Landlord to Lender; and
If Lender by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor/Landlord thereunder then, upon any further transfer of the Lessors interest by Lender all such obligations shall terminate as to Lender.
Section 19.03 Offset Statement. Within fifteen (15) days after request therefor by Landlord, Tenant agrees to deliver a certificate in recordable form addressed to any proposed mortgage or purchaser, or to Landlord, in such form as said proposed mortgagee or purchaser shall require. Tenant shall also concurrently provide Landlord with any reasonably related information, including Tenant’s then current financial statements, as required by Landlord.
ARTICLE 20 – QUIET POSSESSION
Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying the Rent and performing the covenants, conditions and other agreements of this Lease to be performed by it, may have, hold and enjoy quiet possession of the Premises as against any party claiming through Landlord during the term of this Lease.
-29-
ARTICLE 21 – RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord to abide by all Rules and Regulations which Landlord may promulgate from time to time for the tenants of the Center, including the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit E, and as set forth in the Declarations. Tenant agrees that Landlord may amend, modify and delete Rules and Regulations or add new and additional reasonable Rules and Regulations for the use and care of the Premises, the building of which the Premises is a part, the Common Areas and all of the Center. Tenant agrees to comply with all such Rules and Regulations upon notice to Tenant from Landlord or upon the posting of same in such place within the Center as Landlord may designate. In the event of any breach of any Rules and Regulations herein set forth or any amendments or additions thereto, Landlord shall have all remedies in this Lease provided for default by Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any violation of such Rules and Regulations by any other occupant of the Center.
ARTICLE 22 – SCOPE AND CONSTRUCTION; MEMORANDUM; FORCE MAJEURE; HOLDOVER
Section 22.01 Scope. This Lease is and shall be deemed to be the only agreement between the parties hereto in respect to the matters contained herein.

Section 22.02 Governing Laws and Severability. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 22.03 Memorandum of Lease. Neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant without Landlord’s written consent thereto, and the recording thereof in violation at this provision shall make this Lease null and void at Landlord’s election.
Section 22.04 Force Majeure. If either party shall be delayed in or prevented from performance of any act required under this Lease, by reason of acts of God, strikes, lock-outs or other labor disputes, governmental restrictions, acts of a public enemy, riot, insurrection, war or other reason of like nature not within the reasonable control of such party, performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the time for such performance shall be extended for a period of delay; provided, that this Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of Minimum Monthly Rental, Additional Rent or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease. It shall be a condition of each party’s right to claim an extension of time as a result hereof that such party notify the other party within twenty (20) days after the occurrence of such cause specifying the nature thereof and the period of time contemplated or necessary for performance.
-30-
Section 22.05 Holdover.

be directly enforceable by either and Tenant shall give to Landlord any assignments or other assurance necessary to effectuate the same.

J. Payment of Cost of Tenant’s Work.
1. | Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid the total cost and expense of all work or improvements, as that phrase is defined in the mechanic’s lien law in effect at the place of construction when the work begins.
