Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for Tenant's own use in the conduct of
Tenant's business and not for purposes of speculating in real estate, for the
Lease Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease, that
certain interior space described in Article 1(s) as the Leased Premises,
reserving and excepting to Landlord the exclusive right to all profits to be
derived from any assignments or sublettings by Tenant during the Lease Term by
reason of the appreciation in the fair market rental value of the Leased
3
4
Premises. Landlord further reserves the right to install, maintain, use and
replace ducts, wires, conduits and pipes leading through the Leased Premises in
locations which will not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Leased
Premises. Tenant's lease of the Leased Premises, together with the appurtenant
right to use the Common Areas as described in Article 2.2 below, shall be
conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by Tenant with (i)
all the terms and conditions of the Lease, (ii) all Laws governing the use of
the Leased Premises and the Project, (iii) all Private Restrictions, easements
and other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises
and the Project, and (iv) all reasonable rules and regulations from time to time
established by Landlord.
2.2 RIGHT TO USE COMMON AREAS: As an appurtenant right to Tenant's right
to the use of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to
use the Common Areas in conjunction with other tenants of the Project and their
invitees, subject to the limitations on such use as set forth in Article 4, and
solely for the purposes for which they were designed and intended. Tenant's
right to use the Common Areas shall terminate concurrently with any termination
of this Lease.
2.3 LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE AND LEASE TERM: The term of this Lease shall
begin, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred, on the
Intended Commencement Date (as set forth in Article 1) unless either (i)
Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on the
Intended Commencement Date, in which case the Lease Commencement Date shall be
as determined pursuant to Article 2.4 below or (ii) Tenant enters into
possession of the Leased Premises prior to the Intended Commencement Date, in
which case the Lease Commencement Date shall be as determined pursuant to
Article 2.7 below (the "Lease Commencement Date") . The term of this Lease shall
end on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1), irrespective of
whatever date the Lease Commencement Date is determined to be pursuant to the
foregoing sentence. The Lease Term shall be that period of time commencing on
the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the Lease Expiration Date (the "Lease
Term").
2.4 DELIVERY OF POSSESSION: Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession
of the Leased Premises on or before the Intended Commencement Date (as set forth
in Article 1) in their presently existing condition, broom clean, unless

possession of the Leased Premises, pursuant to an Exhibit or Addenda attached to
and made a part of this Lease to modify existing interior improvements or to
make, construct and/or install additional specified improvements within the
Leased Premises, in which case Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of
the Leased Premises on or before the Intended Commencement Date as so modified
and/or improved. If Landlord is unable to so deliver possession of the Leased
Premises to Tenant on or before the Intended Commencement Date, for whatever
reason, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease, nor shall this
4

Lease be void, voidable or cancelable by Tenant until the lapse of one hundred
twenty days after the Intended Commencement Date (the "delivery grace period");
however, the Lease Commencement Date shall not be deemed to have occurred until
such date as Landlord notifies Tenant that the Leased Premises are Ready for
Occupancy. Additionally, the delivery grace period above set forth shall be
extended for such number of days as Landlord may be delayed in delivering
possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant by reason of Force Majeure or the
actions of Tenant. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Leased
Premises to Tenant within the described delivery grace period (including any
extensions thereof by reason of Force Majeure or the actions of Tenant), then
Tenant's sole remedy shall be to cancel and terminate this Lease, and in no
event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for such delay. Tenant may not cancel
this Lease at any time after the date Landlord notifies Tenant the Leased
Premises are Ready for Occupancy.
2.5 ACCEPTANCE OF POSSESSION: Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected
the Leased Premises and is willing to accept them in their existing condition,
broom clean, unless Landlord shall have agreed, as a condition to Tenant's
obligation to accept possession of the Leased Premises, pursuant to an Exhibit
or Addenda attached to and made a part of this Lease to modify existing interior
improvements or to make, construct and/or install additional specified
improvements within the Leased Premises, in which case Tenant agrees to accept
possession of the Leased Premises when Landlord has substantially completed such
modifications or improvements and the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy.
If Landlord shall have so modified existing improvements or constructed
additional improvements within the Leased Premises for Tenant, Tenant shall,
within Tenant's Punchlist Period (as set forth in Article 1) which shall
commence on the date that Landlord notifies Tenant that the Leased Premises are
Ready for Occupancy, submit to Landlord a signed copy of the Acceptance
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "D" together with a punchlist of all
incomplete and/or improper work performed by Landlord. Upon the expiration of
Tenant's Punchlist Period, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted
the Leased Premises in their then-existing condition as so delivered by Landlord
to Tenant, except as to those items reasonably set forth in the punchlist
submitted to Landlord prior to the expiration of said period. Landlord agrees to
correct all items reasonably set forth in Tenant's punchlist, provided that such
punchlist was submitted to Landlord within Tenant's Punchlist Period.
Additionally, Landlord agrees to place in good working order all existing
plumbing, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems within the
Leased Premises and all man doors and roll-up truck doors serving the Leased
Premises to the extent that such systems and/or items are not in good operating
condition as of the date Tenant accepts possession of the Leased Premises;

2.7 PRIOR OCCUPANCY: Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant will be
in possession of the Premises, prior to the Lease Commencement Date, under the
terms of a sublease with a prior tenant of Landlord. As such, Landlord and

ARTICLE 3
RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
3.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Dated (as
determined pursuant Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefore, in advance on the
first day of each calendar month, as base monthly rent, the amount set forth as
"Base Monthly Rent" in Article 1 (the Base Monthly Rent").
3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as
determined pursuant to Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease
Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent (the "Additional Rent") the following amounts:
A. Tenant's Proportionate Share of all Building Operating
Expenses (as defined in Article 13). Payment shall be made by whichever of the
following methods (or combination of methods) is (are) from time to time
designated by Landlord:
(1) Landlord may xxxx to Tenant, on a periodic basis not
more frequently than monthly, Tenant's Proportionate Share of such expenses (or
group of expenses) as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay such
share of such expenses within ten days after receipt of a written xxxx therefore
from Landlord; and/or
(2) Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable
estimate of any given expense (or group of expenses, such as Landlord's
Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes) which it anticipates will be paid or
incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and
Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of such expenses for such year in equal
monthly installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly
Rent. Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the method of
billing Tenant its Proportionate Share of such expenses or the periodic basis on
which such expenses are billed.
B. Landlord's share of the consideration received by Tenant upon
certain assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7;
C. Any legal fees and coats that Tenant is obligated to pay or
reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and
7
8
D. Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
3.3 YEAR-END ADJUSTMENTS: If Landlord shall have elected to charge
Tenant its Proportionate Share of the Building Operating Expenses (or any group
of such expenses) on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of
Article 3.2A(2) above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within three months
following the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be,
a statement setting forth (i) the amount of such expenses paid or incurred
during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) Tenant's
Proportionate Share of such expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid
more than its Proportionate Share of such expenses for the stated period,
Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such
overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that
would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such
overpayment. If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its
Proportionate Share of any such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the amount of such underpayment within ten days from Landlord's billing
of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration
or sooner termination of this Lease.
3.4 LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST ON RENT IN DEFAULT: Tenant acknowledges
that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent
or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain coats and expenses
not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely
difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without
limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting
expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent is not received by
Landlord from Tenant within six calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant
shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount
set forth in Article 1 as the "Late Charge Amount," and if any Additional Rent
is not received by Landlord within six calendar days after same becomes due,
Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to ten
percent of the Additional Rent not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this
late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is
fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by reason of Tenant's
failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late
charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within
which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any
right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay each rental
installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this
Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of six calendar
days, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
interest on any rent that is not so paid from said sixth day at the then maximum
rate of interest not prohibited by Law until paid.
8

3.5 PAYMENT OF RENT: All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the
United States, without any abatement, deduction or offset for any reason
whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to
time. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall
be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by
Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due
shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when
due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as
Landlord would have if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.
3.6 PREPAID RENT: Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall immediately pay
to Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as "First Month's Prepaid Rent" as
prepayment of rent for credit against the first installment(s) of Base Monthly
Rent due hereunder. Additionally, Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount set
forth in Article 1 as "Last Month's Prepaid Rent" as prepayment of rent for
credit against the last installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder,
subject, however, to the provisions of Article 3.7 below.
3.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall immediately
deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the "Security
Deposit" as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to
be performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such
portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the
following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base
Monthly Rent or Additional Rest or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent;
(ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean
and repair the Leased Premises following their surrender to Landlord if not
surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2;
and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law
including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant's behalf any sums
claimed by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant
for work done or improvements made at Tenant's request to the Leased Premises.
In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the
Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the
California Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security
Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to the full original sum. If Tenant fails to promptly restore the
Security Deposit and if Tenant shall have paid to Landlord any sums as "Last
Month's Prepaid Rent," Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy Landlord
may have under this Lease, reduce the amount of Tenant's Last Month's Prepaid
Rent by transferring all or portions of such Last Month's Prepaid Rent to
Tenant's Security Deposit until such Security Deposit is restored to the amount
set forth in Article 1. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security
Deposit. Landlord may use the Security Deposit in Landlord's ordinary business
and shall not be required to segregate it
9
10
from its general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the
Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Building during the Lease Term,
Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with
the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any
successor statute, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released
from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically
grants to Landlord (and hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code
Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of sixty days following a surrender of
the Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to return the Security
Deposit (less permitted deductions) to Tenant, it being agreed between Landlord
and Tenant that sixty days is a reasonable period of time within which to
inspect the Leased Premises, make required repairs, receive and verify workmen's
xxxxxxxx therefore, and prepare a final accounting with respect to such deposit.
In no event shall the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be considered
prepaid rent.
In the event that Tenant shall not have been in default of any of the terms and
conditions of this Lease during the first twelve (12) months of the Lease Term,
Landlord shall return the sum of $29,245.05 of Tenant's Security Deposit such
that commencing upon the second year of the Lease Term, Tenant's Security
Deposit shall be the sum of $29,245.05.

Tenant pursuant to its indemnity given in A and/or B above. Landlord may retain
consultants to inspect the Property, conduct periodic environmental audits, and
review any information provided by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost
of fees charged by Landlord and/or Landlord's consultants as a Project

of God or other peril, in which case the provisions of Article 10 shall control,
the parties shall have the following obligations and responsibilities with
respect to the repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises, the Building and
the Common Areas.
A. Tenants Obligation: Tenant shall, at all times during the
Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, regularly clean and continuously
keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Leased Premises and
every part thereof and all appurtenances thereto, including, without limiting

Landlord, shall hire, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a licensed heating,
ventilating and air conditioning contractor to regularly, and periodically
inspect (not less frequently than every three months) and perform required
maintenance on the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and
systems serving the Leased Premises, or alternatively, Landlord may, at its
election, contract in its own name for such regular and periodic inspections of
and maintenance on such heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and
systems and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the cost thereof. Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to the Building, the
Common Areas or the Project caused by the activities of Tenant, its employees,
invitees or contractors promptly following written notice from Landlord to so
repair such damage. If Tenant shall fail to perform the required maintenance or
fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this Article within a reasonable
period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at
its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under
this Lease or as Law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge

electricity can supply the needs of Tenant and whether or not the existing gas
and/or electrical distribution systems within the Building and the Leased

and electricity as so supplied to the Leased Premises.
B. Water: Landlord shall provide the Leased Premises with water
for lavatory and drinking purposes only. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent,

periodically charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to Landlord's
estimate of the cost of Tenant's excess water usage or (ii) install (or require
Tenant to install at Tenant's sole cost) a separate meter for purposes of
measuring Tenant's water usage and, based upon such meter readings, periodically
charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to Landlord's estimate of the
cost of Tenant's excess water usage. In the event that Landlord shall so install
such a separate meter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the costs
incurred by Landlord in purchasing and installing such meter and thereafter all
costs incurred by Landlord in maintaining said meter. The cost of Tenant's water
usage shall include any costs to Landlord in keeping account of such usage and

such notice within which to perform such maintenance or repairs, or (ii) any
failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment in the supply of water,

conditioned upon the execution of a lease between Landlord and the proposed
Transferee, Tenant's and Tenant's successors' obligations under this Lease shall
not be terminated until such Transferee executes a new lease with Landlord,
enters into possession, and commences the payment of rent, and (ii) if Landlord
elects simply to terminate this Lease (or, in the case of a partial sublease
terminate this Lease as to the portion to be so sublet), the Lease shall so
terminate in its entirety (or as to the space to be so sublet) fifteen (15) days
after Landlord has notified Tenant and Tenant's successors in writing of such
election. In the case of a partial termination of the Lease, the Base Monthly
Rent and Tenant's or Tenant's successors' proportionate share shall be reduced
to an amount which bears the same relationship to the original amount thereof as
the area of that part of the Leased Premises which remains subject to the Lease
bears to the original area of the Leased Premises. Landlord and Tenant or
Tenant's successors shall execute a cancellation agreement with respect to the
Lease to effect such termination or partial termination, or (b) if Landlord
shall not have elected to cancel and terminate this Lease, to either (i) consent
to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant's and Tenant's
successors' compliance with the conditions set forth in Article 7.4 below or
(ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided
that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused. It shall not be
unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or
subletting if (i) the proposed assignee's or subtenant's anticipated use of the
Premises involves the storage, use or disposal of a Hazardous Material; (ii) if
the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required by any prior landlord,
lender or governmental authority to clean up Hazardous Materials unlawfully
discharged by the proposed assignee or subtenant; or (iii) if the proposed
assignee or subtenant is subject to investigation or enforcement order or
proceeding by any governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal or
storage of a Hazardous Material. Tenant and Tenant's successors covenant and
agree to supply to Landlord, upon request, with all necessary or relevant
information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed
assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee. Landlord's
review period shall not commence until Landlord has received all information
requested by Landlord.
7.4 CONDITIONS TO LANDLORD'S CONSENT: If Landlord elects to consent, or
shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of competent jurisdiction, to
such requested assignment, subletting or encumbrance, such consent shall be
expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions below set
forth, and any purported assignment, subletting or encumbrance made or ordered
prior to the full and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions
shall be void and, at the election of Landlord, which election may be exercised
at any time following such a purported assignment, subletting or encumbrance
shall constitute a material default by Tenant under
24
25
this Lease giving Landlord the absolute right to terminate this Lease. The
conditions are as follows:
A. Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment
of sublease agreement (or the encumbrance agreement), which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are
otherwise complied with.
B. Each such sublessee or assignee having agreed, in writing
satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel and for the benefit of Landlord, to
assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be
performed by Tenant (or, in the case of an encumbrance, each such encumbrancer
having similarly agreed to assume, be bound by and perform Tenant's obligations
upon a foreclosure or transfer in lieu thereof).
C. Tenant having fully and completely performed all of its
obligations under the terms of this Lease through and including the date of the
requested consent, as well as through and including the date such assignment or
subletting is to become effective.
D. Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and
attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and
documentation of any such requested subletting, assignment or encumbrance.
E. Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully
executed duplicate original of such sublease agreement, assignment agreement or
encumbrance (as applicable) and all related agreements.
F. Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as to
future payments, to Landlord one hundred percent of all assignment consideration
or excess rentals to be paid to Tenant or to any other on Tenant's behalf or for
Tenant's benefit for such assignment or subletting as follows:
(1) If Tenant assigns its interest under the Lease and
if all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment is to be paid by
the assignee at the time of the assignment, that Tenant shall have paid to
Landlord and Landlord shall have received an amount equal to one hundred percent
of the assignment consideration so paid or to be paid whichever is the greater)
at the time of the assignment by the assignee; or
(2) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and
if Tenant is to receive all or a portion of the consideration for such
assignment in future installments, that Tenant and Tenant's assignee shall have
entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord
satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant's assignee
jointly agree to pay to Landlord an amount equal to one hundred
25
26
percent of all such future assignment consideration installments to be paid by
such assignee as and when such assignment consideration is so paid.
(3) If Tenant subleases the Leased Premises, that Tenant
and Tenant's sublessee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for
the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant
and Tenant's sublessee jointly agree to pay to Landlord one hundred percent of
all excess rentals to be paid by such sublessee as and when such excess rentals
are so paid.
7.5 ASSIGNMENT CONSIDERATION AND EXCESS RENTALS DEFINED: For purposes of
this article, the term "Assignment Consideration" shall mean all consideration
to be paid by the Assignee as consideration for such assignment, and the term
"Excess Rentals" shall mean all consideration to be paid by the Sublessee in
excess of the rent to be paid by said Sublessee/Sublessor for the premises
subleased for the same period. It is specifically intended and agreed that this
provision is intended to be a one hundred percent profit sharing clause, such
that neither Tenant nor any successor to Tenant shall make any profit whatsoever
as a result of any transfer of an interest in the Lease or the Leased Premises
or any other property, as more particularly described herein. Assignment
Considerations and/or "Excess Rentals" shall include all payments made or to be
made by any Assignee or Sublessee relating in any way to any transfer of an
interest in the Lease or the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, any
payment made with respect to property which would or shall become Landlord's
property upon the expiration or earlier termination of the lease, whether such
property was installed or paid for by Landlord or by Tenant or Tenant's
successors. In the event Tenant or Tenant's successors sublease a portion of the
Leased Premises, "Excess Rentals" shall be calculated by subtracting the rent
payable by the Subleasor for the portion of the Leased Premises so sublet from
all consideration to be paid by such Sublessee. Rent payable by the Sublessor
for the portion of the Leased Premises so sublet shall be calculated by
multiplying the Base Monthly Rent payable by the Sublessor for the Leased
Premises leased by such Sublessor by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
area in square feet subleased and the denominator of which is the total floor
area of the Leased Premises leased by such Sublessor also in square feet. Tenant
and Tenant's Successors agree that any Assignment Consideration and/or Excess
Rentals hereunder shall be the property of Landlord and not the property of
Tenant.
7.6 PAYMENTS: All payments required by this Article to be made to
Landlord shall be made in cash in full as and when they become due. As the time
Tenant, Tenant's assignee or sublessee makes each such payment to Landlord,
Tenant or Tenant's assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, shall deliver to
Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which
the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such
payment as true and correct. Landlord may require that all payments of Excess
Rentals and/or Assignment Consideration to be made hereunder be made directly to
Landlord by such Transferee.
26
27
7.7 GOOD FAITH: The rights granted to Tenant by this Article are granted
in consideration of Tenant's express covenant that all pertinent allocations
which are made by Tenant between the rental value of the Leased Premises and the
value of any of Tenant's personal property which may be conveyed or leased
concurrently with and which may reasonably be considered a part of the same
transaction as the permitted assignment or subletting shall be made fairly,
honestly and in good faith. If Tenant shall breach this Covenant of Good Faith,
Landlord may immediately declare Tenant to be in default under the terms of this
Lease and terminate this Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies
Landlord would have under the terms of this Lease in the case of a material
default by Tenant under this Lease.
7.8 EFFECT OF LANDLORD'S CONSENT: No subletting, assignment or
encumbrance, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its
personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or
more assignments or encumbrances of Tenant's interest in this Lease or to one or
more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to
any subsequent assignment, encumbrance or subletting. If Landlord shall have
been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested
assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been
ordered over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not
be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as
all conditions set forth in Article 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the
extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or sublessee, including, without
limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations
and/or excess rentals then due Landlord.
7.9 PROHIBITED FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS: Tenant shall not, without
Landlord's consent, enter into or do any of the following acts if to do so would
result in Tenant having a net worth or net income after such action or xxxxx
that is less than Tenant's net worth and/or net income as of the date of this
Lease: (i) make any distribution or declare or pay any cash dividends on, or
purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any of its capital stock, of any class,
whether now or hereafter outstanding, (ii) acquire, merge, or consolidate with
or into any other business organization, (iii) make any changes in Tenant's
financial structure or (iv) borrow funds, pledge assets, or lease or sell
equipment or other property. Landlord and Tenant understand and agree that the
value of the Leased Premises is influenced by Tenant's financial standing, and
the provisions of this section are intended to prohibit those voluntary actions
of Tenant that are not conducted in the normal course of its business which
would reduce Tenant's net worth and/or net income and thereby would adversely
effect the value of the Leased Premises.

prior written notice to perform such obligation and Landlord shall have failed
to perform such obligation within a reasonable period of time following receipt

to releases, and particularly to those provisions contained in Section 1542 of
the California Civil Code which read as follows: A general release does not
extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor. Notwithstanding such
statutory provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete

competent counsel satisfactory to Landlord, any claims made or legal actions
filed or threatened by third parties against landlord which result in the death,
bodily injury, personal injury, damage to property or interference with

other rights suffered by any third party, (including other Tenants within the
Project) which (i) occurred within the Leased Premises or (ii) resulted from
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or the Common Areas or (iii)
resulted from Tenant's activities in or about the Leased Premises, the Building
or the Project, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, Landlord's
principals, employees and agents harmless from any loss (including loss of rents
by reason of vacant space which otherwise would have been leased but for such
activities), liabilities , penalties, or expense whatsoever (including all legal
fees incurred by Landlord with respect to defending such claims) resulting
therefrom, except to the extent proximately caused by the active negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord. This indemnity agreement shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall not
be required to indemnify Landlord under this section 8.2 with respect to events
that first occur after the later of (a) the date of the expiration, or sooner
termination, of this Lease, or (b) the date Tenant actually vacates the
Premises, provided that Landlord has actual notice of such vacation.

Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused
by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its
right to damages as provided in this Lease).
B. Tenant, as its option, may then cure any default of Landlord
at Landlord's cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any
sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to

trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other
principals of such business entity and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to
Landlord's then equity interest, if any, in the Property for the satisfaction of
such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors,
trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals

exclusively to such equity interest of Landlord, if any, in the Property for
payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Landlord hereunder, and
Landlord is hereby released and relieved of any other obligations hereunder.
Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership, then Tenant covenants and agrees:
A. No partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in
any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this
Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the

Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the
partnership; and
C. No writ of execution shall be levied against the assess of
any partner of Landlord other than to the extent of his interest in Property.

respecting this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual or alleged failure,
default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly
contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or as common law.

Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises by reason
of any default by Tenant.

Landlord for Tenant's use within the Leased Premises, Tenant's use (or estimated
use) of public facilities or services or Tenant's consumption (or estimated
consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources. On demand by
Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these
payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied
against Landlord, Landlord's property, the Building or the Project, or if the
assessed value of the Building or the Project is increased by the inclusion

Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public

competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any
such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid.

the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article I). Any holding over by
Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor
extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises
except as expressly provided in this Article. Any such holding over shall be
deemed an unlawful detainer of the Leased Premises unless Landlord has consented
to same. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented shall be
construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions
herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall
be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent of the Base Monthly
Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over.

Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such ground lease or any
Lender holding any such mortgage or deed of truss shall advise Landlord that is
desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon
written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord and
such lessor or Lender deem necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior
thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord's ground leasing the land underlying
the Building and/or encumbering the Building as security for future loans on
such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground leases,
mortgages or deeds of truss shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease.
However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any Lender holding
such future mortgage or deed of truss shall desire or require that this Lease be
made subject and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of
trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten days after Landlord's written request
therefore, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents
or instruments requested by Landlord or such lessor or Lender as may be
necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future
ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust; bus only if such lessor or Lender
agrees to recognize Tenant's rights under this Lease and not to disturb Tenant's
quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default
under this Lease.
13.4 TENANT'S ATTORNMENT UPON FORECLOSURE: Tenant shall, upon request,
attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building as any foreclosure sale or private
sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building,
(ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of
foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building, or (iii) to the
lessor under any underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building,

lessor recognizes Tenant's rights under this Lease.

in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying
such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information
about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant's failure to
execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten days after Landlord's
request therefore shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and
Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as
Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by
Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and xxx for damages
proximately caused thereby : being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant's
failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result
in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties
which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord
and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be
relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the
Building, the Project, or party interest therein.

financial statements or other information to its Lender, to any present or
prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or to any prospective Lender
or purchaser of the Building, the Project or any portion thereof or interest
therein. Any such financial statement or other information which is marked
"confidential" or "company secrets" (or is otherwise similarly marked by Tenant)

except as specifically provided in this Article, unless the same becomes a part
of the public domain without the fault of Landlord.
13.8 TRANSFER BY LANDLORD: Landlord and its successors in interest shall
have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Project, or any
portion thereof as any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any
such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any
subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall
be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of
all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder
which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of
all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder
which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to

term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the
Building or the Project.

from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a
separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination
of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, court costs
and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing party. In the event
that Landlord shall be required to retain counsel to enforce any provision of

default, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed the prevailing party, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord all attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, court costs and

by Landlord promptly upon demand. Landlord may enforce this provision by either
(i) requiring Tenant to pay such fees and costs as a condition to curing its
default or (ii) bringing a separate action to enforce such payment, is being
agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that Tenant's failure to pay such fees
and costs upon demand shall constitute a breach of this Lease in the same manner
as a failure by Tenant to pay the Base Monthly Rent, giving Landlord the same
rights and remedies as if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent.
