for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee
commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty
(30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be
given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.

assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becoming a "debtor" as

interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty
(30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's

by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Lessee's
obligation hereunder, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this Lease
by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default:

means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shell terminate and Lessee

recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including,
necessary renovation and alteration of the premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of 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 Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease shall
continue In effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, Including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.

laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid

then allowable by law

perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event
later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the
holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premise whose, name
and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing,
specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided,
however, that if the nature of lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty
(30) days are required for performance, then Lessor shall not be in default if
Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently
pursues the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to

hereunder 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 which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the office building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of
Base Rent, Operating Expenses, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be
received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount
shall be due, then without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of 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 late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of
such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
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 and Lessee's
Share of Operating Expenses 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 of the
Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment made
under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as compensation for 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 the Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are
substantially similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
granted to Lessee been exercised, or (iii) if Lessee remains in possession of
the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed

shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said
broker(s)in effect at the time of execution of this Lease. Said fee shall be
paid at the time such increased rental is determined.
(c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor but also on
behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity having an
ownership interest in said real Property or any part thereof, when such fee is
due hereunder. Any transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether such
transfer is by agreement or by operation of law shall be deemed to have assumed
Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Each listing and cooperating broker
shall be a third party beneficiary of the previsions of this paragraph 15 to the
extent of their interest in any commission arising under this Lease and may
enforce that right directly against Lessor; provided, however, that all brokers
having a right to any part of such total commission shall be a necessary party
to any suit with respect thereto.
(d) Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that neither
has had any dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the
