after the date hereof and during the term of the Sublease and to remain jointly
and severally liable therefor with Xxxxxx.

in the event of any inconsistency between any term of the Sublease and the

the Sublease contains any terms or provisions which purport to bind Landlord,
such terms shall be of no force or effect.
6. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: (a) Subtenant, at its sole cost, shall comply
with all laws relating to the storage, use, and disposal of Hazardous Materials

advance written approval of Landlord and all other provisions relating to
construction which are set forth in the Lease. Any signage called for in the
Sublease shall be subject to Landlord's approval as per the terms of the Lease,
and subject to the procurement of approval and permits from the City of San
Xxxx if required. By approving the Sublease, Landlord shall not be deemed to
have approved any signage or construction referenced therein.
8. INSURANCE: The Subtenant shall comply with all of the provisions of
the Lease as to insurance as if it were the Tenant named thereunder, and shall

the Lease.
9. USE: Subtenant shall use the Subleased Premises only for the uses
and for which Tenant is allowed to use the Subleased Premises pursuant to the
Lease.
10. ASSIGNMENT OF TENANT'S RIGHTS: Tenant irrevocably assigns to
Landlord, as security for the performance of each and all of Tenant's
obligations under the Lease, all rent and other consideration received or to be
received from Subtenant. Landlord, as assignee of Tenant, or a receiver for
Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may (but is not required to)
collect such rent or other consideration, provided, however, that until and
unless Tenant commits an Event of Default under the Lease, Tenant shall have
the right to collect such rent or other consideration (subject to any
obligation set forth in the Lease whereby Tenant is to pay all or a part of
such rent or other consideration to Landlord). Such assignment shall be subject
to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Landlord may collect such rent or other consideration from
Subtenant only so long as Tenant shall continue to be in default of its
obligations under the Lease.
(b) Upon Xxxxxxxx's written request following the occurrence of an
Event of Default under the Lease, Tenant shall execute such documents as
are reasonably requested by Landlord for the purpose of confirming to
Subtenant that Landlord has the right to collect all rent and other
consideration otherwise due to Tenant from such subtenant or assignee.
(c) Subtenant has the right and duty to pay rent or other
consideration otherwise due to Tenant directly to Landlord upon receipt
from Landlord of a declaration under penalty of perjury stating that an
Event of Default exists under the Lease, and in such event, each payment
made to Landlord shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations of Subtenant
to Tenant, but only to the extent of such payment.
(d) Subtenant's payment to Landlord pursuant to this assignment
shall not create or evidence any direct landlord tenant relationship
between Subtenant and Landlord, and Landlord may exercise all remedies to
terminate the Lease (including the termination of Subtenant's possession
of the Premises or the Subleased Premises) in the event of any Event of
Default by Tenant, notwithstanding its receipt of any payment from
Subtenant pursuant to this assignment, unless the receipt of such
payment completely cures Tenant's default. The acceptance of a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payment from Subtenant pursuant to this assignment shall not affect
Landlord's right to its remedies with regard to all defaults remaining
uncured after such payment.
11. TERMINATION: The Sublease is and remains subject and subordinate to
the Lease, and a termination of the Lease for any reason (including but not
limited to a default of Tenant) shall terminate the Sublease.
12. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS: Xxxxxxxx had not been represented by a real
estate broker in regard to the transaction represented by this Amendment, and
no brokerage commissions or finder's fees are due from Landlord in regard to
the transaction. Tenant will hold Landlord harmless and indemnify Landlord
against any claim, loss, or damage, including reasonable attorney's fees, in
regard to a brokerage commission or finder's fee claim by a broker or finder
and arising out of this transaction.
