REQUEST FOR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MEMBERS
SUBMITTED BY: RAY SILVER, Executive Director//I P
PREPARED BY: David C. Biggs, Director of Economic Development
SUBJECT: Approval as to Form: Leases Between Abdelmuti Development Co.,
Vesta Capital Partners, LLC, DoveBid, Inc. and Frangelica, Inc.
Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s), Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachments)
Statement of issue: The Owner Participation Agreement between the Agency and
Abdelmuti Development Company requires the Agency to review and "Approve As To Form"
all leases within the office space of the Oceanview Promenade building.
Funding Source: NIA
Recommended Action: Motion to:
(1) Approve as to form the attached lease between Abdelmuti Development Company and
Vesta Capital Partners, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company,
(2) Approve as to form the attached lease between Abdelmuti Development Company and
DoveBid, Inc., and
(3) Approve as to form the attached lease between Abdelmuti Development Company and
Frangelica, Inc.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the leases as to form.
Analysis: On May 28, 1991, the Agency entered an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA)
with the Abdelmuti Development Company for the Oceanview Promenade building which
was amended in November 1991 to establish the "Guaranteed Rental Rate!
The Agency's obligation is based on the rent collected from office space on the second floor
and one-half of the third floor, approximately 20,600 square feet in total. If actual rents are
less than the Guaranteed Rent ($1.90 per square foot), the Agency pays the difference (the
"Rent Differential Payment").
The attached lease with Vesta Partners, LLC is for the Second Floor, Suite 2F, 1,141
rentable square foot in the Oceanview Promenade building for a term of three (3) years
beginning April 1, 2001 and ending March 31, 2004. The rent for the lease is $1.80 per
square foot in year one, $1.85 in year two and $1.90 in year three.
The space being leased was previously unoccupied and this space required Agency rent
subsidy payments of $1.90 per square foot. The new lease will decrease the rent subsidy
payments by $1.80 per square foot the first year, S1.85 per square foot the second year, and
in the third year the $1.90 per square foot rent will bring the rent subsidy for this space to a
zero rent subsidy payment.
The new lease rates compare favorably to the 1999 appraisal fair market rent set for the
space of $1.75 per square foot.
The attached lease with DoveBid, Inc. is for a portion of Suite 3A, which is 2,070 square feet
and is for a lease term of three years beginning March 21, 2001 and ending March 31, 2004.
The rent for the DoveBid lease is $1.85 per square foot in year one, $1.90 in year two and
$1.95 in year three. The previous tenant in Suite A, Vital Technology (5,650 square feet),
filed bankruptcy and their lease was subsequently terminated. DoveBid was a subtenant of
Vital Technology and is now entering into a separate lease with Abdelmuti Development
Company. The remaining 3,580 square feet is in the process of being leased to another
tenant, Frangelica, Inc. This lease with DoveBid will decrease the Agency's rent subsidy
payment.
The new lease rates compare favorably to the 1999 appraisal fair market rent set for the
space of $1.65 per square foot.
The attached lease with Frangelica, Inc. is for Suite 3D, 3,580 rentable square feet for a
lease term of three years beginning April 1, 2001 and ending March 31, 2004. The rent for
the lease is $1.85 per square foot in year one, $1.90 in year two and $1.95 in year three. As
mentioned above, Vital Technology had leased the entire Suite A before it went into
bankruptcy. Suite A has now been broken into two separate Leases. DoveBid has Suite 3A-1
with 2,070 square feet and Frangelica has Suite 3D with 3,580 square feet. The lease with
Frangelica will decrease the rent subsidy payment the Agency is obligated to pay.
The new lease rates compare favorably to the 1999 appraisal fair market rent set for the
space of $1.65 per squre foot.

(e) In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease, any governmental
law, rule or regulation prohibits or postpones in whole or in part any increase in the rent or in the
payment of other sums payable by Tenant hereunder to be made pursuant to this Lease, then, and in
either of such events, such increase or payment shall be made to the maximum extent permissible
by law at the time provided in this Lease, and/or at any time or times thereafter such increase or
payment, or any portion thereof, may lawfully be made and any such increase in rent, or any portion
thereof, or other sums payable hereunder, or portions thereof, the payment of which has been so
prohibited or postponed, shall thereafter become due and payable to the maximum extent and at the
earliest time or times permitted by law.
SECTION 3.2 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum stated
in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions, to be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful
performance of every Lease provision to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to
any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of
rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this security
deposit for the payment of any rent or other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount
which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default or to
compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
Tenant's default to the full extent permitted by Iaw. If any portion of said deposit is so used or
applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) clays after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord
in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be
required to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall perform every provision of this Lease to be
performed by it, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at
Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after
the expiration of the Lease term, provided that Landlord may retain the security deposit until such
time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with any provision hereof has been determined

SECTION 3.3 OPERATING EXPENSES. Tenant is not obligated to pay any additional
sums with respect to common area maintenance expense, building maintenance expense or any
other expense except as may be specifically set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE IV. USES
SECTION 4.1 USE. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for general office purposes
only and for no other use or purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent
Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall not use or occupy the
Premises in violation or in conflict with any "Governmental Requirement" (defined below) but
shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, statutes,
including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, orders, rules, restrictions,
regulations and requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises
whether or not the same is substantial, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, or whether
the same shall necessitate Tenant making structural changes or improvements to the Premises or
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises (herein collectively, "Governmental
Requirements"). Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which
will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project or of
2Q7/0U8204M 1
160277.02 PM01 ���
property adjacent to the Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for
any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or
permit any nuisance or commit any waste in, on or about the Premises or the Project. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not (i) obstruct or store anything in the
common areas (including service or exit corridors), (ii) place a load upon any floor of the Premises
which exceeds the floor load per square foot which such floor was designed to carry, or (iii) permit
any objectionable sound or odors to carry outside the Premises. In particular, Tenant agrees that
business machines and mechanical equipment used by Tenant which cause vibration or noise that
may be transmitted to any other portion of the Building, to such a degree as to be reasonably
objectionable to Landlord or to any occupant, shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at its
expense in setting of cork, rubber or spring -type vibration isolators sufficient to eliminate such
vibrations or noise. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or
increase the cost of any insurance policy(ies) covering the Building, the Premises, the Project and/or
property located therein and shall comply with all applicable insurance underwriters rules, orders,
regulations and requirements of the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau or other applicable organization
performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any
additional premium charged for such policy(ies) by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the
provisions of this Section, but such reimbursement shall not be construed as curing Tenant's default
for failing to comply with the provisions of this Section. Tenant shall not, under any circumstances,
allow alcoholic beverages to be served or consumed within any portion of the Premises.
SECTION 4.2 PROHIBITION AGAINST SOLICITATION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF LANDLORD. Tenant hereby delegates to Landlord full
power, authority and control to regulate, in accordance with the rules and regulations attached
hereto as Exhibit "C" and/or from time to time adopted pursuant to Article XVI and/or to prohibit
the entrance to the Premiss, the Building and/or the Project of all vendors, suppliers, surveyors,
petitioners and others deemed objectionable by Landlord. In the event said persons are guests or
invitees of Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord of this fact. No such person shall be permitted to
enter upon the Project, the Building and/or the Premises unless and until such person shall have
executed Landlord's standard entry permit and Lar.dIord shall have determined, in its sole and
absolute discretion and judgment, that such person's activities will not disturb other tenants, their
customers or invitees or distract from the use of the Building and/or the Premises for their intended
purposes. Tenant agrees that Landlord may prohibit and exclude, in whole or in part, vendors of
sandwiches and other food items from the Building, as Landlord may elect, in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion.
SECTION 4.3 EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OVER COMMON AREA. It is expressly agreed
and understood that control over all uses of the "Common Facilities" (defined in Section 5.2 below)
shall reside %Kith and be solely exercisable by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. Said
areas shall not be available for use by Tenant, except as herein expressly provided, nor by vendors,
surveyors, petitioners and others without the express written consent of Landlord, which Landlord
may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
SECTION 4.4 SIGNS. Tenant may not affix a sign to the exterior surface of the suite front
or any other pats of the exterior or interior surface of the Building. Except mith the prior written
approval of Landlord, which approval may be withhold in Landlord's sole discretion, Tenant shall
not place or allow to be placed, erected or maintained any sign, decal, placard, name, insignia, trade
267MI I8:0-0001
160277.02 PM01 -6-
name, decoration, flashing, moving or hanging lights, lettering, or any other descriptive words or
advertising matter of any kind or description (herein collectively, "sign" or "signs") on any exterior
door, wall, window, surface or roof of the Premises or of the Building or on the glass of any
window or door of the Building, or in any deck or balcony area included within the Premises or on
any sidewalk or other location outside the Building, or within any entrance to the Premises. If
Tenant places or causes to be placed or maintained any of the foregoing without Landlord's prior
approval, the same may be removed by Landlord at Tenant's expense without notice and without
such removal constituting a breach of this Lease or entitling Tenant to claim damages on account
thereof. If Tenant places or causes to be placed or maintained any of the foregoing with Landlord's
prior approval, Tenant shall maintain the same in good condition and repair at Tenant's sole cost and
expense.
ARTICLE V. SERVICES
SECTION 5.1 UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Subject to the provisions set forth below,
Landlord shall furnish to the Premises electricity through a separate meter billed directly to Tenant.
Tenant shall pay for replacement of all fluorescent fixtures and bulbs as required.
Landlord shall furnish water for drinking, cleaning and lavatory purposes only, but if Tenant
requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in addition to ordinary drinking, cleaning and
lavatory purposes, of which fact Tenant constitutes Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord may
install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes. Tenant
shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation thereof, and for
consumption throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy. Tenant shall keep said meter and
installed equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant's own cost and expense, in default
of which Landlord may cause such meter to be replaced, repaired and collect the cost thereof from
Tenant.
To the extent any utility service to the Premises is separately metered or billed to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay all charges for such utility service to the Premises. If any such charges are not
paid when due, Landlord may pay the same, and any amount so paid by Landlord shall thereupon
become due to Landlord from Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord shall elect to furnish any utility
services to the Premises, Tenant shall purchase its requirements thereof from Landlord so long as
the rates charged therefor by Landlord do not exceed those which Tenant would be required to pay
if such services were furnished it directly by a public utility.
Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish any of the services or utilities
described in this Section 5.1 when such failure is caused by accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes,
lockouts, other labor troubles or disputes, governmental water, energy or other conservation
programs or any other governmental requirements, action or inaction, moratorium or other cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control. Landlord may take into consideration the availability of
energy resources and prudent energy conservation practices, including participation in any energy
conservation association or other arrangements for voluntary cut -back, load shedding and the like.
No failure to furnish any of such service or utilities shall entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve
Tenant of the obligation to pay the full rent reserved herein or constitute or be construed as a
constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations which
Landlord may reasonably establish for the proper functioning and protection of the air conditioning,

access to all mechanical installations of Landlord, in: luding, but not limited to, the air conditioning
equipment and vents, fans, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets. If there is any

diligence to correct the same, repairs and/or corrections that are the responsibility of a public or
private utility company, excepted.

time to time during the term hereof restrain any use or occupancy thereof, except as authorized by
such rules and regulations, as may be changed from time to time. Tenant shall keep said Common
Facilities free and clear of any obstructions related to Tenant's operations. If, in the opinion of
Landlord, unauthorized persons are using any of said Common Facilities by reason of the presence
of Tenant in the Building, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall restrain such unauthorized use
by appropriate proceedings. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Landlord at any time to remove
any such unauthorized persons or obstructions. Landlord may temporarily close any Common
Facility for repairs or alterations as provided in Section 6.2 below, to prevent a dedication thereof or
the accrual of prescriptive rights therein, or for any other reason deemed sufficient by Landlord.

any time to change the size, configuration, shape, number and extent of the Common Facilities, or
any of them, all as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion. No such change
described in this Section 6.3(a) shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or other claim against
Landlord; provided, however, such changes or alterations shall not deprive Tenant of reasonable
access to or use of the Premises.
(b) As a material inducement to Landlord's entering into this Lease, Tenant
expressly waives and releases any rights it may have whether granted by statute or otherwise, to
make repairs at Landlord's expense, including, but not limited to, its rights as contained in Sections
1941, 1941.1 and I942 of the California Civil Code.
SECTION 6.4 TENANTS ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make alterations, additions
or improvements to the Premises nor any repairs, replacements or restorations to the Premises in
excess of TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($2,500.00) without the prior written
consent of Landlord. Landlord may impose, as a condition to such consent, such requirements as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem reasonabl: or desirable, including, but not limited to, a
requirement that all work be covered by a surety bond in favor of Landlord, guaranteeing the
completion of such work free and clear of all subcontractors', mechanics' and materialmen's liens
(which bond shall be satisfactory to Landlord) and requirements as to the manner, time and
contractor or contractors as to or by which such work shall be done. Nouviithstanding the foregoing,
no improvements may be made that would diminish the value of the Premises and, in addition, no
improvements may be made to any mechanical or utility system, the exterior walls or the roof of the
Premises, nor may any improvements of a structural nature be made without Landlord's approval,
which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. In no event shall
Tenant make or cause to be made any penetration through the roof or the floor of the Premises
without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole
and absolute discretion. Any requirements of the Work Letter applicable to any initial construction
work performed by or under Tenant shall also be applicable to any such alterations, additions and/or
improvements. All alterations made by Tenant shall be in accordance Nvith all Governmental
Requirements and to the extent Tenant's alterations trigger alterations or other modifications within
the Building or Project, such alterations or other modifications shall be performed by Landlord at
the expense of Tenant. Any request for Landlord's consent to such work shall be made in writing
and shall contain three (3) sets of architectural plans and specifications (with square footages)
describing such work in detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. No such plans and
specifications or any material change thereto shall be submitted for approval to any federal, state,
county or local government or other governmental agency or association prior to Landlord's review

be deemed a denial of such request. Plans and specifications and governmental applications shall
become the property of Landlord upon the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall be
turned over to Landlord by Tenant upon Landlord's request therefor. Unless Landlord otherwise
agrees in writing, all such alterations, additions or improvements affixed or built into the Premises
(but excluding moveable trade fixtures and furniture) shall become the property of Landlord as

160277.03 PM01 -10-
provided in Section 14.3 below, and shall be surrendered with the Premises, as a part thereof, at the
end of the Lease term, except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given at least thirty
(30) days prior to the end of the Lease term, require Tenant to remove all or any portion of any
alterations, decorations, additions, improvements and the like installed by Tenant, and to repair, or
at Landlord's option, to pay all costs relating to any damage to the Premises arising from such
removal.
SECTION 6.5 MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred or alleged to have
been incurred by, for or under Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days
following the imposition of any such lien (but in any event before an action is filed to foreclose
such lien), cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right (but not
the obligation) to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including
payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord and all
expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall create automatically an obligation of Tenant to
pay an equivalent amount, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 13.3 below,
from the date paid by Landlord as additional rent, which additional rent shall be payable by Tenant
on Landlord's demand. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than twenty (20) days' prior notice in
writing before commencing the construction of any building, structure or other improvement on the
Premises or of any substantial repairs, alterations, additions, replacements or restorations in and
about the Premises so that Landlord may post and maintain such notices of non -responsibility or
other notices on the Premises as Landlord deems necessary for protection from such liens.
SECTION 6.6 ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all times have the right to
enter the Premises to inspect the same, to post notices of non -responsibility, to alter, improve or

purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures and store materials, supplies and tools
whcm reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, provided that the business
of Tenant shall be interfered with as little as is reasonably practicable. If during the last month of
the term hereof, Tenant shall have removed substantially all of Tenant's property and personnel
from the Premises, Landlord may enter the Premises and repair, alter and redecorate the same,
without abatement of rent and without liability to Tenant, and such acts shall have no effect on this
Lease. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or abatement of rent for any injury,
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the
Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby; provided, however, this provision shall not excuse
Landlord for its own gross negligence or ►%illful misconduct. As used in this Lease, the term "gross
negligence" shall mean the failure to perform a manifest duty in reckless disregard of the
consequences as affecting the life or property of anwher. Landlord shall have the right to use any
and atl means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to
obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said
means shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry
into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion
thereof. During the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the lease term, or when an uncured
default on the part of Tenant exists hereunder, Landlord may, at all reasonable times, enter the
Premises for the purpose of displaying the Premises to prospective tenants.

ARTICLE V1I. TAXES AND
ASSESSMENTS ON TENANTS PROPERTY
SECTION 7.1 TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY.
(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay at least forty (44) days before
delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other
personal property of Tenant located in or about 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 which the Premises form a part. If any such taxes on Tenant's
personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property and if
Landlord pays the same (which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity of such
levy), or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord pays the taxes based
upon such increased assessment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord
or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment.
(b) If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for
by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part
thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which
tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's building standards in other space in the Building are
assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or Landlord's
property by reason of such excess assessed valuation may, at Landlord's option, be deemed to be
taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall, under such circumstances, be governed
by the Provisions of Section 7.1(a) above.
(c) Upon request, Tenant agrees to provide receipts, cancelled checks or other
documents reasonably requested by Landlord to confirm Tenant's payment of any takes and/or
assessments payable by Tenant directly to the taxing authority under this Lease.
ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
SECTION 8.1 PROHIBITION AND CONSENT.
(a) Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise, assign, sublet, sell, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Premises
or Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than
Tenant or Tenant's employees, without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. Any
assignment or subletting which is not in compliance with this Article VIII shall be void and, at the
option of Landlord, shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease and entitle Landlord to
terminate this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or
more sublettings of the Premises shall not operate to wraive Landlord's rights under this Article VIII.
The voluntary or involuntary surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof shall
not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or
subtenancies or shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of such subleases or subtenancies. If
Tenant is a corporation which, under the then current guidelines published by the Commissioner of
26710149204=1 -I 2-
1602",02 M01
Corporations of the State of California, is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated
association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such
corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50°/a) or such
lesser interest as may constitute a controlling interest, shall be deemed an assignment within the
meaning and provisions of this Section.
(b) If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or
any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to
Landlord (i) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed
subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of
the proposed sublease or assignment; (iv) such financial information as Landlord may request
concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (v) such information as Landlord may request
regarding the business experience concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee during the
preceding five (5) years.
(c) At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the information
specified in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to (i) consent
to the subletting or assignment upon The terms and to the subtenant or assignee proposed, subject to
any conditions deemed appropriate by Landlord, as determined in its reasonable discretion,
including, but not limited to, the condition that Tenant pay to Landlord upon receipt any and all
amounts (a) by which the basic rent and additional rent paid by such subtenant exceeds the sum of
the rent and additional rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for such space under this Lease, or (b)
of profit received by Tenant from such assignee; (ii) refuse to give its consent, (iii) sublease the
Premises or the portion thereof so proposed to be subleased by Tenant or take an assignment of
Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder or such part thereof as shall be specified in said notice upon the
same terms (excluding terms relating to purchase of personal property, the use of Tenant's name or
the continuation of Tenant's business) as those offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee, as the
case may be; or (iv) terminate this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the Premises so
proposed to be subleased or assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable hereunder,
effective as of the date of the proposed sublease or assignment. if the Lease is partially terminated
as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be assigned or subleased, a proportionate abatement
will be made in the rent payable hereunder effective upon the last to occur of: (a) the date Tenant
installs a partition wall satisfying Landlord's reasonable requirements, separating such portion of the
Premises from the balance of the Premises, which partition wall shall be completed by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense within sixty (60) days of such election by Landlord, or (b) the
effective date of the partial termination of this Lease. If Landlord consents to such assignment or
subletting, Tenant may within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord's consent, enter into a
valid assignment or sublease of the Premises or portion thereof upon the terms and conditions
described in the information required to be furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section
8.1(b) above, or upon other terms not more favorable to Tenant; provided, however, that any
material change in such terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as provided in this Section 8.1.
Failure of Landlord to exercise any option set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above within the thirty
(30) day period for Landlord's notice shall be deemed refusal of Landlord to consent to the proposed
subletting or assignment.
SECTION 8.2 NO RELEASE OF TENANT. No subletting or assignment, even with the
consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the
267,1014320-MOO -13-
160277.02 PM01
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Each assignee or transferee, other than
Landlord, shall assume, as provided above, all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be
and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of the rent, and for the due
performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's
part to be performed for the term of this Lease. No assignment shall be binding on Landlord unless
such assignee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of such assignment which contains a
covenant of assumption by the assignee satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord, consistent
with the requirements of this Article VIII, but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute such
instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee from its liability as set forth
above. The acceptance of any payment due hereunder by Landlord from any other person shall not
be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting.
SECTION 8.3 TRANSFER FEE. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or any
other transfer by Tenant of all or a portion of Tenant's interest under this Lease, Tenant shall pay, or
cause to be paid, in each case a transfer fee of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($750.00) in
connection with the processing, documentation and other administrative costs thereof, along with
Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
SECTION 8.4 AFFILIATE TRANSFER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article VIII or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without
Landlord's consent, to assign this Lease and/or sublet the entire Premises to any person, corporation
or entity (a) which owns one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant's membership interests (Tenant's
parent); (b) any corporation in which Tenant or Tenant's parent owns one hundred percent (100%)
of the membership interests thereof (Tenant's subsidiary or sister corporation); (c) which succeeds
to the assets or business of Tenant or Tenant's parent as a result of merger or consolidation; and/or
(d) which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant's membership interests or assets; provided that
in each such instance (i) Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease at the time of said transfer;
(ii) No change in use of the Premises shall result by reason of such transfer; (iii) Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice of said transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to said transfer; (iv) the
assignee shall furnish Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the transfer a written instrument
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord by which such assignee agrees to assume and perform all
covenants and conditions of Tenant contained in this Lease; and (v) in the event of an assignment to
a parent or subsidiary and in the event of an assignment to a company acquiring all or substantially
all of the assets or membership interests of Tenant, the assignee has a net worth (in 2000 dollars)
equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant at the time Tenant entered into this Lease. No such
assignment or other transfer shall release the original Tenant or any assignee thereof from liability
under this Lease.
ARTICLE IX. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
SECTION 9.1 TENANT'S INSURANCE.

Work Letter) and all of Tenant's fixtures and other personal property.
(b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and to such other named insureds designated
by Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the time such insurance is first required to be carried by
Tenant, and thereafter at least twenty (20) days prior to expiration of such policy, certificates of

certificates, with the exception of Worker's Compensation, shall name Landlord and such other
parties as Landlord may designate as additional insureds and shall expressly provide that the interest

designated by Landlord adequate protection for said risks.
(d) Landlord makes no representation that the limits of liability specified to be
carried by Tenant under this Article IX, are adequate to protect Tenant against Tenant's undertaking
under this Lease, and in the event Tenant believes that any such insurance coverage called for under
this Lease is insufficient, Tenant shall provide at its own expense, such additional insurance as
Tenant deems adequate.
(e) Landlord and Tenant hereby release the other from any and all liability from
or to the other party of every kind and nature which may result from the perils of fire, lightning or
extended coverage perils which cause damage on or to the Premises, the Building and/or property
within the Building owned by it, such waiver to include situations where the negligence of one of

the parties hereto or his agent, servant or representative causes or contributes to the occurrence or
the result of damage.

guests, invitees or licensees, including vendors, servicing Tenant at its request, and from and against
all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any such claims or liabilities or
any actions or proceedings brought thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
liable for damage or injury occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or
its designated agents, servants or employees, unless covered by insurance Tenant is required to
provide. This obligation to indemnify shall include Tenant's payment of reasonable attorneys' fees
and investigation costs and all other reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities incurred or suffered
by Landlord from Landlord's receipt of the first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or
may be made. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord's defense in any

charges, and additional rent for the balance of the term hereof after the time of award
267/014SM-ON 1
1607n.In WO -20-
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided;
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including,
but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of
reletting, including brokerage commissions, necessary repair, renovation and
alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness costs, and any
other reasonable costs; and
Any other amount which Landlord may by law hereafter be permitted to

and continue this Lease in effect without terminating Tenant's right to possession
even though Tenant has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises and to
enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity,
including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under this Lease; provided,
however, that Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for
such previous breach by notifying Tenant in writing that Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises has been terminated.
(iii) Nothing in this Article XIII shall be deemed to affect Tenant's
indemnity of Landlord, for liability or liabilities based upon occurrences prior to the
termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the
indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease. Such covenants of

(iv) In the event of default by reason of any of the events stated in
subparagraph (0 of Section 13.1 above, this Lease or any interest in and to the
Premises shall not become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event
and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of the Landlord hereunder or by law

re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom,
and Tenant and its creditors (other than Landlord) shall have no further claim thereon
or hereunder.
(b) LandIord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any covenant of
this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any default by
Tenant hereunder. In any action for unlawful detainer commenced by Landlord against Tenant by
2671014320.0001 -21-
160279.02 phlo l
reason of any default hereunder, the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the period of the
unlawful detainer shall be deemed to be the amount of the basic annual rent and additional rent
reserved in this Lease for such period, unless Landlord or Tenant shall prove to the contrary by
competent evidence. The various rights, powers and remedies reserved to Landlord herein, and
those rights, powers and remedies of Landlord under any other agreement now or hereafter in force
between Landlord and Tenant, including those not specifically described herein, shall be
cumulative, and, except as otherwise provided by California statutory law in effect at the time,
Landlord may pursue any or all of such rights and remedies, at the same time, or otherwise.
(c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be
construed as a waiver of any such right or remedy or of any default by Tenant hereunder. The
acceptance by Landlord of rent or any additional rent hereunder shall not be (i) a waiver of any
preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision thereof, other than the failure of Tenant to
pay the particular rent or any additional rent accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of such rent or additional rent, or (ii) a waiver
of Landlord's right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of such breach or default.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein stipulated
shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be
deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this
Lease provided. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 or 1179, or under any other present or future law,
in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default
by Tenant hereunder. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the term of this
Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a
surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of
Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of
this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any such employee shall not operate a termination of this
Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
SECTION 13.3 INTEREST ON TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS; LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) Any installment of rent due under this Lease or any other sum not paid to
Landlord when due (other than interest) shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law
from the date such payment is due until paid, provided, however, that the payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure the default.
(b) Tenant hereby acknowledges that the 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 ascertain. Such costs may include,
but are not limited to, administrative, 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, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in the amount of five percent
(5%) of the delinquent installment of rent. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair
26VD14=4001 -22-
1G02n_02 PM01
and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord wilt incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.
Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event 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.
(c) Following each second consecutive late payment of rent, Landlord shall have
the option (i) to require that beginning with the first payment of rent next due, rent shall no longer
be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance and/or
(ii) to require that Tenant increase the amount, if any, of the security deposit required under Section
3.2 as listed in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions by one hundred percent (100%), which
additional security deposit shall be retained by Landlord, and may be applied by Landlord, in the
manner provided in Section 3.2.
SECTION 13.4 RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements
to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any
sum of money, other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other
act on its part to be performed hereunder, or to provide any insurance or evidence of insurance to be
provided by Tenant, and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable grace period set forth in
Section 13.1, then in addition to any other remedies provided herein, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make
any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided in
this Lease or to provide such insurance. Any payment or performance of any act or the provision of
any such insurance by Landlord on Tenant's behalf shall not give rise to any responsibility of
Landlord to continue malting the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts.
All costs, expenses and other sums incurred or paid by Landlord in connection therewith, together
with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date incurred or paid by Landlord shall
be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant with and at the same time as
the next monthly installment of basic annual rent hereunder, and any default therein shall constitute
a breach of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
SECTION 13.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease unless
and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by
Tenant to Landlord, and to any mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust with an interest in any
encumbrance affecting Landlord's interest in the Premises, specifying in reasonable detail the
nature and extent of any such failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If, after notice to Landlord of default,
Landlord fails to cure such default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure such
default at Landlord's expense. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold,
reduce or offset any amount against any payments of basic annual rent or any other charges due and
payable hereunder, and Tenant's remedy shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction. It is
expressly understood and agreed to that any money judgment resulting from any default or other
claim arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits or other income
("Income") actually received from the operation of the Building and no other real, personal or
267ID14820-0001 -23-
160277,02 Pht01
mixed property of Landlord (the term "Landlord" for purposes of this Section only shall mean any
and all partners, both general and/or limited, if any, which comprise Landlord), wherever situated,
shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord and whether or not such
Income is sufficient for the payment of such judgment, Tenant will not institute any further action,
suit, claim or demand, in law or in equity, against Landlord for or on the account of such deficiency.
Tenant hereby waives, to the extent waivable under law, any right to satisfy said money judgment
against Landlord except from Income received by Landlord for the operation of the Building.
SECTION 13.6 EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any
action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of or under this Lease,
including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent or possession of the Premises, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover its attorney's fees and costs, including without limitation, expert
witness fees, photocopying, facsimile, messenger and postage costs, in connection with such suit,
and such attorney's fees and costs shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such
action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE XIV. END OF TERM
SECTION 14.1 HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate and become null and void
without further notice upon the expiration of the term herein specified, and any holding over by
Tenant after such expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension hereof or give Tenant any

provided. IF Tenant shall hold over for any period after the expiration of the Lease term, Landlord
may, at its option, treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance only commencing on the first (1st) day

regulations and requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises

the same shall necessitate Tenant making structural changes or improvements to the Premises or
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises (herein collectively, "Governmental
267.1D148:0-W1
164611.02 a0VD5101 -5�
Requirements"). Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which
will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project or of
property adjacent to the Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for
any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or
permit any nuisance or commit any waste in, on or about the Premises or the Project. Without

expense in setting of cork, rubber or spring -type vibration isolators sufficient to eliminate such
vibrations or noise. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or
increase the cost of any insurance poiicy(ies) covering the Building, the Premises, the Project and/or
property located therein and shall comply with all applicable insurance underwriters rules, orders,
regulations and requirements of the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau or other applicable organization
performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any
additional premium charged for such policy(ies) by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the
provisions of this Section, but such reimbursement shall not be construed as curing Tenant's default
for failing to comply with the provisions of this Section. Tenant shall not, under any circumstances,
allow alcoholic beverages to be served or consumed within any portion of the Premises.
SECTION 4.2 PROHIBITION AGAINST SOLICITATION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF LANDLORD. Tenant hereby delegates to Landlord full

hereto as Exhibit "C" and/or from time to time adopted pursuant to Article XVI and/or to prohibit
the entrance to the Premises, the Building and/or the Project of all vendors, suppliers, surveyors,
petitioners and others deemed reasonably objectionable by Landlord. In the event said persons are
guests or invitees of Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord of this fact. No such person shall be
permitted to enter upon the Project, the Building and/or the Premises unless and until such person
shall have executed Landlord's standard entry permit and Landlord shall have determined, in its sole
and absolute discretion and judgment, that such person's activities will not disturb other tenants,
their customers or invitees or distract from the use of the Building and/or the Premises for their
intended purposes. Tenant agrees that Landlord may prohibit and exclude, in whole or in part,
vendors of sandwiches and other food items from the Building, as Landlord may elect, in Landlord's
sole and absolute discretion.

or any other part of the exterior or interior surface of the Building. Except with the prior written

I"a 1.0 803.105.101 `6-
approval of Landlord, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion, Tenant shall
not place or allow to be placed, erected or maintained any sign, decal, placard, name, insignia, trade
name, decoration, flashing, moving or hanging lights, lettering, or any other descriptive words or
advertising matter of any kind or description (herein collectively, "sign" or "signs") on any exterior
door, wall, window, surface or roof of the Premises or of the Building or on the glass of any
window or door of the Building, or in any deck or balcony area included within the Premises or on
any sidewalk or other location outside the Building, or within any entrance to the Premises. If
Tenant places or causes to be placed or maintained any of the foregoing without Landlord's prior
approval, the same may be removed by Landlord at Tenant's expense without notice and without
such removal constituting a breach of this Lease or entitling Tenant to claim damages on account
thereof. If Tenant places or causes to be placed or maintained any of the foregoing with Landlord's
prior approval, Tenant shall maintain the same in good condition and repair at Tenant's sole cost and
expense.

To the extent any utility service to the Premises is separately metered or billed to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay all charges for such utility service to the Premises. If any such charges are not
paid when due, Landlord may pay the same, and any amount so paid by Landlord shall thereupon
become due to Landlord from Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord shall elect to furnish any utility
services to the Premises, Tenant shall purchase its requirements thereof from Landlord so Iong as
the rates charged therefor by Landlord do not exceed those which Tenant would be required to pay
if such services were furnished it directly by a public utility.
Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish any of the services or utilities
described in this Section 5.1 when such failure is caused by accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes,
lockouts, other labor troubles or disputes, governmental water, energy or other conservation
programs or any other governmental requirements, action or inaction, moratorium or other cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control. Landlord may take into consideration the availability of
energy resources and prudent energy conservation practices, including participation in any energy

from time to time by Landlord pursuant to Article YVI below. Landlord shall operate, manage,
equip, light, repair, clean and maintain the Common Facilities in such manner as Landlord may in
its sole discretion determine to be appropriate. Landlord shall at all times during the term of this
Lease have the sole and exclusive control of all Common Facilities, and may at any time and from
time to time during the term hereof restrain any use or occupancy thereof, except as authorized by
such rules and regulations, as may be changed from time to time. Tenant shall keep said Common
Facilities free and clear of any obstructions related to Tenant's operations. If, in the opinion of
Landlord, unauthorized persons are using any of said Common Facilities by reason of the presence
of Tenant in the Building, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall restrain such unauthorized use
by appropriate proceedings. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Landlord at any time to remove
any such unauthorized persons or obstructions. Landlord may temporarily close any Common
Facility for repairs or alterations as provided in Section 6.2 below, to prevent a dedication thereof or
the accrual of prescriptive rights therein, or for any other reason deemed sufficient by Landlord.

designated, should be imposed upon or levied or assessed against the Project, or any portion thereof,
by any governmental agency or authority pursuant to the "Clean Air Act", or any plan implemented

other governmental act or decree, Landlord may recover from Tenant such actual fees in proportion
to Tenant's occupancy of the Building (2,070 rentable square feet versus 47,000 total rentable

and except that Tenant at its expense shall make any such repairs relating to the act or negligence of
Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees or contractors. Landlord shall not be liable for any
failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an
unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is given to
Landlord by Tenant.
(b) Except as provided in Section 10.1 and Article XI below, there shall be no
abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with

alterations therein or additions thereto, or to any part thereof, to build additional stories on any
building or buildings within the Project, to construct decks, subterranean or elevated parking
facilities, and to sell or lease any part of the land comprising the Project for the construction
thereon of buildings, which may or may not be part of the Project. Landlord reserves the right at
any time to change the size, configuration, shape, number and extent of the Common Facilities, or
any of them, all as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion. No such change
described in this Section 6.3(a) shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or other claim against
Landlord; provided, however, such changes or alterations shall not deprive Tenant of reasonable
access to or use of the Premises.
(b) As a material inducement to Landlord's entering into this Lease, Tenant
expressly waives and releases any rights it may have whether granted by statute or otherwise, to
make repairs at Landlord's expense, including, but not limited to, its rights as contained in Sections
1941, 1941.1 and 1942 of the California Civil Code.

or improvements to the Premises nor any repairs, replacements or restorations to the Premises in
excess of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000.00) without the prior written consent of

its sole discretion, may deem reasonable or desirable, including, but not limited to, a requirement
that all work be covered by a surety bond in favor of Landlord, guaranteeing the completion of such
work free and clear of all subcontractors', mechanics' and materialmen's liens (which bond shall be
satisfactory to Landlord) and requirements as to the manner, time and contractor or contractors as to
or by which such work shall be done. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no improvements may be
made that would diminish the value of the Premises and, in addition, no improvements may be
made to any mechanical or utility system, the exterior walls or the roof of the Premises, nor may
any improvements of a structural nature be made without Landlord's approval, which approval may
be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. In no event shall Tenant make or cause to be
made any penetration through the roof or the floor of the Premises without the prior written
approval of Landlord, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.
Any requirements of the Work Letter applicable to any initial construction work performed by or
under Tenant shall also be applicable to any such alterations, additions and/or improvements. All
alterations made by Tenant shall be in accordance with all Governmental Requirements and to the
extent Tenant's alterations trigger alterations or other modifications within the Building or Project,
such alterations or other modifications shall be performed by Landlord at the expense of Tenant.
Any request for Landlord's consent to such work shall be made in writing and shall contain
architectural plans and specifications (with square footages) describing such work in detail
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. No such plans and specifications or any material change
thereto shall be submitted for approval to any federal, state, county or local government or other
governmental agency or association prior to Landlord's review and approval of same. Failure of
Landlord to respond to such request within thirty (30) days shall be deemed a denial of such
2671014920.ONI -10-
I W81.02 801'O5:101
request. Plans and specifications and governmental applications shall become the property of
Landlord upon the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall be turned over to Landlord by
Tenant upon Landlord's request therefor. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, all such
alterations, additions or improvements affixed or built into the Premises (but excluding moveable
trade fixtures and furniture) shall become the property of Landlord as provided in Section 14.3
below, and shall be surrendered with the Premises, as a part thereof, at the end of the Lease term,
except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given at least thirty (30) days prior to the end
of the Lease term, require Tenant to remove all o: any portion of any alterations, decorations,
additions, improvements and the like installed by Tenant, and to repair, or at LandIord's option, to
pay all costs relating to any damage to the Premises arising from such removal.
SECTION 6.5 MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred or alleged to have
been incurred by, for or under Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days
following the imposition of any such lien (but in any event before an action is filed to foreclose
such lien), cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right (but not
the obligation) to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including
payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord and all
expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall create automatically an obligation of Tenant to
pay an equivalent amount, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 13.3 below,
from the date paid by Landlord as additional rent, which additional rent shall be payable by Tenant
on Landlord's demand. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than twenty (20) days' prior notice in
writing before commencing the construction of any building, structure or other improvement on the
Premises or of any substantial repairs, alterations, additions, replacements or restorations in and
about the Premises so that Landlord may post and maintain such notices of non -responsibility or
other notices on the Premises as Landlord deems necessary for protection from such liens.
SECTION 6.6 ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all times, with prior notice
to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency), have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the
same, to post notices of non -responsibility, to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other
portion of the Building, as otherwise permitted hereunder, all without being deemed to have evicted
Tenant and without abatement of rent and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other
necessary structures and store materials, supplies and tools where reasonably required by the
character of the work to be performed, provided that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with
as little as is reasonably practicable. If during the last month of the term hereof, Tenant shall have
removed substantially all of Tenant's property and personnel from the Premises, Landlord may, with
Tenant's consent, enter the Premises and repair, alter and redecorate the same, without abatement of
rent and without liability to Tenant, and such acts shall have no effect on this Lease. Tenant hereby
waives any claim for damages or abatement of rent for any injury, inconvenience to or interference
with Tenant's business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss
occasioned thereby; provided, however, this provision shall not excuse Landlord for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. As used in this Lease, the term "gross negligence" shall mean the
failure to perform a manifest duty in reckless disregard of the consequences as affecting the life or
property of another. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may
deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any
entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means shall not under any circumstances
26710148204)ooI

be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or any
eNiction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. During the last one hundred eighty
(180) days of the lease term, or when an uncured default on the part of Tenant exists hereunder,
Landlord may, at all reasonable times, enter the Premises for the purpose of displaying the Premises
to prospective tenants.

ARTICLE VII. TAXES AND
ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT'S PROPERTY
SECTION 7.1 TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY.
(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay at least ten (10) days before
delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other
personal property of Tenant located in or about 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 which the Premises form a part. If any such taxes on Tenant's
personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property and if
Landlord pays the same (which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity of such
levy), or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord pays the taxes based
upon such increased assessment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord
or the proportion of such takes resulting from such increase in the assessment.
(b) If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for
by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part
thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which
tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's building standards in other space in the Building are
assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or Landlord's
property by reason of such excess assessed valuation may, at Landlord's option, be deemed to be
taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall, under such circumstances, be governed
by the Provisions of Section 7.1(a) above.
(c) Upon request, Tenant agrees to provide receipts, cancelled checks or other
documents reasonably requested by Landlord to confirm Tenant's payment of any taxes and/or
assessments payable by Tenant directly to the taxing authority under this Lease.
ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
SECTION 8.1 PROHIBITION AND CONSENT.
(a) Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise, assign, sublet, sell, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Premises
or Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than
Tenant or Tenant's employees, without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. Any
assignment or subletting which is not in compliance with this Article VIII shall be void and, at the
option of Landlord, shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease and entitle Landlord to
267ro14920-Mi -12-
1 "691.az .03 rosro1
terminate this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or
more sublettings of the Premises shall not operate to waive Landlord's rights under this Article VIII.
The voluntary or involuntary surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof shall
not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or
subtenancies or shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of such subleases or subtenancies. If
Tenant is a corporation which, under the then current guidelines published by the Commissioner of
Corporations of the State of California, is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated
association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such
corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) or such
lesser interest as may constitute a controlling interest, shall be deemed an assignment within the
meaning and provisions of this Section.
(b) If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or
any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to
Landlord (i) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed
subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of
the proposed sublease or assignment; (iv) such financial information as Landlord may reasonably
request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (v) such information as Landlord may
reasonably request regarding the business experience concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee

(c) At any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of the
information specified in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to
(i) consent to the subletting or assignment upon the terms and to the subtenant or assignee proposed,
subject to any conditions deemed appropriate by Landlord, as determined in its reasonable
discretion, including, but not limited to, the condition that Tenant pay to Landlord upon receipt any
and all amounts (a) by which the basic rent and additional rent paid by such subtenant exceeds the
sum of the rent and additional rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for such space under this
Lease, or (b) of profit received by Tenant from such assignee; (ii) refuse to give its consent, (iii)
sublease the Premises or the portion thereof so proposed to be subleased by Tenant or take an
assignment of Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder or such part thereof as shall be specified in said
notice upon the same terms (excluding terms relating to purchase of personal property, the use of
Tenant's name or the continuation of Tenant's business) as those offered to the proposed subtenant
or assignee, as the case may be; or (iv) terminate this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the
Premises so proposed to be subleased or assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable
hereunder, effective as of the date of the proposed sublease or assignment. If the Lease is partially
terminated as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be assigned or subleased, a proportionate
abatement will be made in the rent payable hereunder effective upon the last to occur of. (a) the date
Tenant installs a partition wall satisfying Landlord's reasonable requirements, separating such
portion of the Premises from the balance of the Premises, which partition wall shall be completed
by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense within sixty (60) days of such election by Landlord, or
(b) the effective date of the partial termination of this Lease. If Landlord consents to such
assignment or subletting, Tenant may within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord's consent,
enter into a valid assignment or sublease of the Premises or portion thereof upon the terms and
conditions described in the information required to be furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
Section 8.1(b) above, or upon other terms not more favorable to Tenant; provided, however, that
any material change in such terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as provided in this Section

8.1. Failure of Landlord to exercise any option set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above within the
thirty (30) day period for LandIord's notice shall be deemed refusal of Landlord to consent to the
proposed subletting or assignment.
SECTION 8.2 NO RELEASE OF TENAN-r. No subletting or assignment, even with the
consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Each assignee or transferee, other than
Landlord, shall assume, as provided above, all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be
and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of the rent, and for the due
performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's
part to be performed for the term of this Lease. No assignment shall be binding on Landlord unless
such assignee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of such assignment which contains a
covenant of assumption by the assignee satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord, consistent
with the requirements of this Article VIII, but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute such
instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee from its liability as set forth
above. The acceptance of any payment due hereunder by Landlord from any other person shall not
be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting.
SECTION 8.3 TRANSFER FEE. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or any
other transfer by Tenant of all or a portion of Tenant's interest under this Lease, Tenant shall pay, or
cause to be paid, in each case a transfer fee of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000.00) in
connection with the reasonable attorneys' fees, processing, documentation and other administrative
costs thereof.
SECTION 8.4 AFFILIATE TRANSFER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article VIII or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without
Landlord's consent, to assign this Lease and/or sublet the entire Premises to any person, corporation
or entity (a) which owns one hundred percent (1005'0) of Tenant's membership interests (Tenant's
parent); (b) any corporation in which Tenant or Tenant's parent owns one hundred percent (100%)
of the membership interests thereof (Tenant's subsidiary or sister corporation); (c) which succeeds
to the assets or business of Tenant or Tenant's parent as a result of merger or consolidation; and/or
(d) which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant's membership interests or assets; provided that
in each such instance (i) Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease at the time of said transfer,
(ii) No change in use of the Premises shall result by reason of such transfer; (iii) Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice of said transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to said transfer, (iv) the
assignee shall furnish Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the transfer a written instrument
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord by which such assignee agrees to assume and perform all
covenants and conditions of Tenant contained in this Lease; and (v) in the event of an assignment to
a parent or subsidiary and in the event of an assignment to a company acquiring all or substantially
all of the assets or membership interests of Tenant, the assignee has a net worth (in 2000 dollars)
equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant at the time Tenant entered into this Lease. No such
assignment or other transfer shall release the original Tenant or any assignee thereof from liability
under this Lease.

discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of award plus one percent (M), but not in excess of ten percent (10%) per annum.
(ii) Pursue the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4
and continue this Lease in effect without terminating Tenant's right to possession
even though Tenant has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises and to
enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, at Iaw or in equity,
including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under this Lease; provided,
however, that Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for
such previous breach by notifying Tenant in writing that Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises has been terminated.
(iii) Nothing in this Article XIII shall be deemed to affect Tenant's
indemnity of Landlord, for liability or liabilities based upon occurrences prior to the
termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the
indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease. Such covenants of
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Lease.
(iv) In the event of default by reason of any of the events stated in
subparagraph (0 of Section 13.1 above, this Lease or any interest in and to the
Premises shall not become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event
and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of the Landlord hereunder or by law
provided, it shall be lawful for the Landlord to declare the term hereof ended and to
re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom,
267/014920-0001
1646$ I.oa MOY0901 -21-
and Tenant and its creditors (other than Landlord) shall have no further claim thereon
or hereunder.
(b) Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any covenant of
this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any default by
Tenant hereunder. In any action for unlawful detainer commenced by Landlord against Tenant by
reason of any default hereunder, the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the period of the
unlawful detainer shall be deemed to be the amount of the basic annual rent and additional rent
reserved in this Lease for such period, unless Landlord or Tenant shall prove to the contrary by
competent evidence. The various rights, powers and remedies reserved to Landlord herein, and
those rights, powers and remedies of Landlord under any other agreement now or hereafter in force
between Landlord and Tenant, including those not specifically described herein, shall be
cumulative, and, except as otherwise provided by California statutory law in effect at the time,
Landlord may pursue any or all of such rights and remedies, at the same time, or otherwise.
(e) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be
construed as a waiver of any such right or remedy or of any default by Tenant hereunder. The
acceptance by Landlord of rent or any additional rent hereunder shall not be (i) a waiver of any
preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision thereof, other than the failure of Tenant to
pay the particular rent or any additional rent accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of such rent or additional rent, or (ii) a waiver
of Landlord's right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of such breach or default.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein stipulated
shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any Ietter accompanying any check or payment as rent be
deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this
Lease provided. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 or 1179, or under any other present or future law,
in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default
by Tenant hereunder. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the term of this
Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a
surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of
Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of
this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any such employee shall not operate a termination of this
Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
SECTION 13.3 INTEREST ON TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS; LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) Any installment of rent due under this Lease or any other sum not paid to
Landlord when due (other than interest) shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law
from the date such payment is due until paid, provided, however, that the payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure the default.
(b) Tenant hereby acknowledges that the 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 ascertain. Such costs may include,
267/014820-0001 _22.
16463 L VZ &ONOSM
but are not limited to, administrative, 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, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or LandIord's designee within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in the amount of five percent
(5%) of the delinquent installment of rent. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.
Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event 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.
(c) Following each second consecutive late payment of rent, Landlord shall have
the option (i) to require that beginning with the first payment of rent next due, rent shall no longer
be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance and/or
(ii) to require that Tenant increase the amount, if any, of the security deposit required under Section
3.2 as listed in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions by one hundred percent (100%), which
additional security deposit shall be retained by Landlord, and may be applied by Landlord, in the
manner provided in Section 3.2.
SECTION 13.4 RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements
to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any
sum of money, other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other
act on its part to be performed hereunder, or to provide any insurance or evidence of insurance to be
provided by Tenant, and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable grace period set forth in
Section 13.1, then in addition to any other remedies provided herein, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make
any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided in
this Lease or to provide such insurance. Any payment or performance of any act or the provision of
any such insurance by Landlord on Tenant's behalf shall not give rise to any responsibility of
Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts.
All costs, expenses and other sums incurred or paid by Landlord in connection therewith, together
with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date incurred or paid by Landlord shall
be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant with and at the same time as
the next monthly installment of basic annual rent hereunder, and any default therein shall constitute
a breach of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
SECTION 13.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease unless
and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by
Tenant to Landlord, and to any mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust with an interest in any
encumbrance affecting Landlord's interest in the Premises, specifying in reasonable detail the
nature and extent of any such failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If, after notice to Landlord of default,
Landlord fails to cure such default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure such
267/0148204=1 -23-
164U 1.02 a03.0901
mixed property of Landlord (the term "Landlord" for purposes of this Section only shall mean any
and all partners, both general and/or limited, if any, which comprise Landlord), wherever situated,
shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord and whether or not such
Income is sufficient for the payment of such judgment, Tenant will not institute any further action,
suit, claim or demand, in law or in equity, against Landlord for or on the account of such deficiency.
Tenant hereby waives, to the extent waivable under law, any right to satisfy said money judgment
against Landlord except from Income received by Landlord for the operation of the Building.
SECTION 13.6 EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any
action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of or under this Lease,
including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent or possession of the Premises, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover its attorney's fees and costs, including without limitation, expert
witness fees, photocopying, facsimile, messenger and postage costs, in connection with such suit,
and such attorney's fees and costs shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such
action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE XIV. END OF TERM
SECTION 14.1 HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate and become null and void
without further notice upon the expiration of the term herein specified, and any holding over by
Tenant after such expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension hereof or give Tenant any
rights under this Lease, except when in writing signed by both parties hereto or as otherwise herein
provided. If Tenant shall hold over for any period after the expiration of the Lease term, Landlord
may, at its option, treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance only commencing on the first (1st) day

comply with the provisions of this Section 14.2, Landlord may make such repairs and the cost

thereto shall be submitted for approval to any federal, state, county or local government or other

such lien), cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right (but not
the obligation) to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including
payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord and all
expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall create automatically an obligation of Tenant to
pay an equivalent amount, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 13.3 below,
from the date paid by Landlord as additional rent, which additional rent shall be payable by Tenant
on Landlord's demand. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than twenty (20) days' prior notice in

occasioned thereby; provided, however, this provision shall not excuse Landlord for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. As used in this Lease, the term "gross negligence" shall mean the
failure to perform a manifest duty in reckless disregard of the consequences as affecting the life or
property of another. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may
deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any
entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any o f said means shall not under any circumstances

personal property of Tenant located in or about 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 which the Premises form a part. If any such taxes on Tenant's
personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property and if
Landlord pays the same (which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity of such
levy), or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord pays the taxes based
upon such increased assessment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord
or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment.
(b) If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for
by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part
thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which
tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's building standards in other space in the Building are
assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or Landlord's
property by reason of such excess assessed valuation may, at Landlord's option, be deemed to be
taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall, under such circumstances, be governed
by the Provisions of Section 7.1(a) above.
(c) Upon request, Tenant agrees to provide receipts, cancelled checks or other
documents reasonably requested by Landlord to confirm Tenant's payment of any taxes and/or
assessments payable by Tenant directly to the taxing authority under this Lease.

(a) Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise, assign, sublet, sell, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Premises
or Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than
Tenant or Tenant's employees, without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. Any
assignment or subletting which is not in compliance with this Article VIII shall be void and, at the
option of Landlord, shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease and entitle Landlord to
terminate this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or
more sublettings of the Premises shall not operate to waive Landlord's rights under this Article VIII.
The voluntary or involuntary surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof shall
not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or
subtenancies or shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of such subleases or subtenancies. If
Tenant is a corporation which, under the then current guidelines published by the Commissioner of
267.1014820-W01 _12�
I5M3.04 a03.107101
Corporations of the State of California, is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated
association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such
corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) or such
lesser interest as may constitute a controlling interest, shall be deemed an assignment within the
meaning and provisions of this Section.
(b) If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or
any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to
Landlord (i) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed
subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of
the proposed sublease or assignment; (iv) such financial information as Landlord may request
concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (v) such information as Landlord may request
regarding the business experience concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee during the
preceding five (5) years.
(c) At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the information
specified in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to (i) consent
to the subletting or assignment upon the terms and to the subtenant or assignee proposed, subject to
any conditions deemed appropriate by Landlord, as determined in its reasonable discretion,
including, but not limited to, the condition that Tenant pay to Landlord upon receipt any and all
amounts (a) by which the basic rent and additional rent paid by such subtenant exceeds the sum of
the rent and additional rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for such space under this Lease, or (b)
of profit received by Tenant from such assignee; (ii) refuse to give its consent, (iii) sublease the
Premises or the portion thereof so proposed to be subleased by Tenant or take an assignment of
Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder or such part thereof as shall be specified in said notice upon the
same terms (excluding terms relating to purchase of personal property, the use of Tenant's name or
the continuation of Tenant's business) as those offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee, as the
case may be; or (iv) terminate this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the Premises so
proposed to be subleased or assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable hereunder,
effective as of the date of the proposed sublease or assignment. If the Lease is partially terminated
as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be assigned or subleased, a proportionate abatement
will be made in the rent payable hereunder effective upon the last to occur of. (a) the date Tenant
installs a partition wall satisfying Landlord's reasonable requirements, separating such portion of the
Premises from the balance of the Premises, which partition wall shall be completed by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense within sixty (60) days of such election by Landlord, or (b) the
effective date of the partial termination of this Lease. If Landlord consents to such assignment or
subletting, Tenant may within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord's consent, enter into a
valid assignment or sublease of the Premises or portion thereof upon the terms and conditions
described in the information required to be furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section
8.1(b) above, or upon other terms not more favorable to Tenant; provided, however, that any
material change in such terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as provided in this Section 8.1.
Failure of Landlord to exercise any option set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above within the thirty
(30) day period for Landlord's notice shall be deemed refusal of Landlord to consent to the proposed
subletting or assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, Tenant
agrees that it shall be reasonable to disapprove any proposed subletting to the previous tenant of the
Premises, Vital Technology Inc., its principal Don Roy, or any related or affiliated person or entity,
267/014820-0001
154903.04 a03/07/01 -13-
and that such persons and entities shall not be entitled to occupy any space within the Premises as a
subtenant, licensee, guest or otherwise.
SECTION 8.2 NO RELEASE OF TENANT. No subletting or assignment, even with the
consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Each assignee or transferee, other than
Landlord, shall assume, as provided above, all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be
and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of the rent, and for the due
performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's
part to be performed for the tern of this Lease. No assignment shall be binding on Landlord unless
such assignee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of such assignment which contains a
covenant of assumption by the assignee satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord, consistent
with the requirements of this Article VIII, but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute such
instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee from its liability as set forth
above. The acceptance of any payment due hereunder by Landlord from any other person shall not
be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting.
SECTION 8.3 TRANSFER FEE. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or any
other transfer by Tenant of all or a portion of Tenant's interest under this Lease, Tenant shall pay, or
cause to be paid, in each case a transfer fee of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($750.00) in
connection with the processing, documentation and other administrative costs thereof, along with
Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
SECTION 8.4 AFFILIATE TRANSFER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article VIII or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without
Landlord's consent, to assign this Lease and/or sublet the entire Premises to any person, corporation
or entity (a) which owns one hundred percent (100°.o) of Tenant's membership interests (Tenant's
parent); (b) any corporation in which Tenant or Tenant's parent owns one hundred percent (100%)
of the membership interests thereof (Tenant's subsidiary or sister corporation); (c) which succeeds
to the assets or business of Tenant or Tenant's parent as a result of merger or consolidation; and/or
(d) which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant's membership interests or assets; provided that
in each such instance (i) Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease at the time of said transfer,
(ii) No change in use of the Premises shall result by reason of such transfer; (iii) Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice of said transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to said transfer, (iv) the
assignee shall furnish Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the transfer a written instrument
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord by which such assignee agrees to assume and perform all
covenants and conditions of Tenant contained in this Lease; and (v) in the event of an assignment to
a parent or subsidiary and in the event of an assignment to a company acquiring all or substantially
all of the assets or membership interests of Tenant, the assignee has a net worth (in 2000 dollars)
equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant at the time Tenant entered into this Lease. No such
assignment or other transfer shall release the original Tenant or any assignee thereof from liability
under this Lease.

improvements and betterments to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant
(except to the extent installed by Landlord, at Landlord's expense, pursuant to the
Work Letter) and all of Tenant's fixtures and other personal property.
(b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and to such other named insureds designated
by Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the time such insurance is first required to be carried by
Tenant, and thereafter at least twenty (20) days prior to expiration of such policy, certificates of
insurance evidencing the above coverage with limits not less than those specified above. Such
certificates, with the exception of V4'orkees Compensation, shall name Landlord and such other
parties as Landlord may designate as additional insureds and shall expressly provide that the interest
of same therein shall not be affected by any breach by Tenant of any policy provision for which
such certificates evidence coverage. Further, all certificates shall expressly provide that 1) no less
than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given Landlord and such other named insureds in
the event of material alteration to or cancellation of the coverages evidenced by such certificates
and 2) such coverage evidenced by the certificate is primary and that any coverage tamed by
Landlord and such other named insureds shall be excess and non-contributory with respect to any
policies carried by Tenant.
(c) Upon demand, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at Tenant's expense, with such
increased amount of existing insurance, and such other insurance in such limits, as Landlord may
reasonably require and such other hazard insurance as the nature and condition of the Premises may
require in the sole reasonable judgment of Landlord, to afford Landlord and additional insureds
designated by Landlord adequate protection for said risks.
(d) Landlord makes no representation that the limits of liability specified to be
carried by Tenant under this Article IX, are adequate to protect Tenant against Tenant's undertaking
under this Lease, and in the event Tenant believes that any such insurance coverage called for under
this Lease is insufficient, Tenant shall provide at its own expense, such additional insurance as
Tenant deems adequate.

the parties hereto or his agent, servant or representative causes or contributes to the occurrence or
the result of damage.
(f) Insurance carried by Tenant against loss or damage by fire or other casualty

Lease on the date thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written notice of
Landlord's election to terminate this Lease. If such damage or destruction is not to such extent, or if

and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect.
(c) In the event of any casualty damage, the rental provided to be paid under this
Lease shall be abated proportionately in the ratio which the Premises are rendered unusable from
the date of destruction through the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration unless (i) the
Premises were unusable for a period of three (3) business days or less, or (ii) the damage is due to
the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents or employees. Tenant shall not be released from any of its

Section 10.1, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant, in which event
this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of such notice.

shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises or any
portion of the Building when the damage occurs during the last six (6) months of the term of this

promptly performed by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to the requirements of
Section 6.4 applicable to Tenant's alterations to the Premises.
SECTION 10.2 LANDLORD'S NON -LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant,
and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any injury or damage to any person or
property in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project from any cause whatsoever, except to
the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord, its agents or
employees. Specifically, Landlord or its agents or employees shall not be liable for any damage to
property entrusted to Landlord's employees in the Building, nor for loss of or damage to any
property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons or property by loss or
interruption of business or loss of income resulting from the following causes, except to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees;

into any part of the Premises or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the
pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances or plumbing or air-conditioning or electrical works therein,
whether -such damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions
of the Building, or from other sources. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for
interference with the light or other incorporeal hereditaments, nor shall Landlord be liable for
damages from any latent defect in the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall give
prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building and of
defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.

or furnishings, fixtures or equipment, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage
thereto or replace the same.
SECTION 10.3 TENANT'S WAIVER. With respect to any damage which Landlord is
obligated to repair or elects to repair, Tenant, as a material inducement to Landlord entering into
this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases its rights under the provisions of Section 1932(2) and
1933(4) of the California Civil Code and all comparable statutes or rules of law now or hereafter in
effect.
ARTICLE XI. EMINENT DOMAIN
If the whole of the Premises or so much thereof as to render the balance unusable by Tenant
shall be taken under power of eminent domain or if so much of the Building or of the Common
Facilities is/are taken under power of eminent domain as, in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
prevents or substantially impairs the use of the Building for the uses and purposes then being made
or proposed to be made by Landlord of the Building, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of
the date of such condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority,
whichever is earlier. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in any taking or condemnation affecting
the Premises or any portion of the Project, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or
hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof, provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord
any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and trade fixtures belonging to Tenant
and/or for the interruption of or damage to Tenant's business.
267/014820• 0001
1S4907.03.03.v7m1 -1$-
In the event of a partial taking of any portion of the Premises which does not result in a
termination of this Lease, the basic annual rent shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the
Premises taken, taking into account any restoration and repair by Landlord.
No temporary taking of the Premises and/or of Tenant's rights therein or under this Lease
shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to any abatement of rent hereunder. Any award
made by reason of any such temporary taking shall b-.long entirely to Landlord and shall be applied
by Landlord against the rent and the other obligations of Tenant hereunder when such rent and other
obligations first accrue.
Except as provided above, any award or damages payable in connection with a taking of the
Building and/or the Project, or any portion thereof, under the power of eminent domain shall belong
entirely to Landlord and Tenant shall have no right or interest therein.
ARTICLE XII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
SECTION 12.1 SUBORDINATION. On request of Landlord, Tenant will in writing
subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any first mortgage or first deed of trust now or
hereafter in force against the Premises and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the
security thereof, in the form required by the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust. In the event
any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of any power of sale
under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to
the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under
this Lease.

time, within ten (10) days' after notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to

statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of

ARTICLE XIII. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 13.1 TENANT'S DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:
(a) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant.
(b) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of basic annual rent or additional
rent required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue

267in1482a000l -19-
154903.04 �0]•'07ro1
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq. For purposes of these default and remedies

other than basic annual rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(e) Use of the Premises for any purpose other than as authorized in this Lease.
(d) Assignment or sublease of this Lease or of any interest therein by Tenant,

(e) The failure or inability by Tenant as may be determined by Landlord to
observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Tenant, other than those specified in (a) through (d) above, where such
failure shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice
required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq.
(f) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) a case is commenced by or against Tenant under Chapters 7, 11 or 13 of the

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

available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:
(i) Landlord may terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder
by giving written notice of such termination to Tenant. In the event that Landlord
shall so elect to terminate the Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent, charges, and additional
rent which had been earned as of the date of the termination hereof;
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and
additional rent which would have been earned after the date of the termination hereof
until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves
could have been reasonably avoided;
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent,
charges, and additional rent for the balance of the term hereof after the time of award
267.n14820-000i -20-
354903.04 a03,107101
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided;
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including,
but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of
reletting, including brokerage commissions, necessary repair, renovation and
alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness costs, and any
other reasonable costs; and
Any other amount which Landlord may by law hereafter be permitted to
recover from Tenant to compensate Landlord for -the detriment caused by Tenant's
default. As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award"
shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.
As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" 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 percent (10/o), but not in excess of ten percent (10%) per annum.
(ii) Pursue the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4
and continue this Lease in effect without terminating Tenant's right to possession
even though Tenant has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises and to
enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity,
including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under this Lease; provided,
however, that Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for
such previous breach by notifying Tenant in writing that Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises has been terminated.
(iii) Nothing in this Article XIiI shall be deemed to affect Tenant's
indemnity of Landlord, for liability or liabilities based upon occurrences prior to the
termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the
indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease. Such covenants of
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Lease.
(iv) In the event of default by reason of any of the events stated in
subparagraph (f) of Section 13.1 above, this Lease or any interest in and to the
Premises shall not become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event
and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of the Landlord hereunder or by law
provided, it shall be lawful for the Landlord to declare the term hereof ended and to
re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom,
and Tenant and its creditors (other than Landlord) shall have no further claim thereon
or hereunder.
(b) Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any covenant of
this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any default by
Tenant hereunder. In any action for unlawful detainer commenced by Landlord against Tenant by
267.n149z0-ODOI -21-
154903.04 90X07M 1
reason of any default hereunder, the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the period of the
unlawful detainer shall be deemed to be the amount of the basic annual rent and additional rent
reserved in this Lease for such period, unless Landlord or Tenant shall prove to the contrary by
competent evidence. The various rights, powers and remedies reserved to Landlord herein, and
those rights, powers and remedies of Landlord under any other agreement now or hereafter in force
between Landlord and Tenant, including those not specifically described herein, shall be
cumulative, and, except as otherwise provided by California statutory law in effect at the time,
Landlord may pursue any or all of such rights and remedies, at the same time, or otherwise.
(c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be
construed as a waiver of any such right or remedy or of any default by Tenant hereunder. The
acceptance by Landlord of rent or any additional rent hereunder shall not be (i) a waiver of any
preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision thereof, other than the failure of Tenant to
pay the particular rent or any additional rent accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of such rent or additional rent, or (ii) a waiver
of Landlord's right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of such breach or default.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein stipulated
shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be
deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this
Lease provided. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 or 1179, or under any other present or future law,
in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default
by Tenant hereunder. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the term of this
Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a
surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of
Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of
this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any such employee shall not operate a termination of this
Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
SECTION 13.3 INTEREST ON TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS, LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) Any installment of rent due under this Lease or any other sum not paid to
Landlord when due (other than interest) shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law
from the date such payment is due until paid, provided, however, that the payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure the default.
(b) Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Iate 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 ascertain. Such costs may include,
but are not limited to, administrative, 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, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in the amount of five percent
(5%) of the delinquent installment of rent. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair
267,'014320A00I -22-
154903.04 A03•107M1
and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.
Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event 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.
(c) Following each second consecutive late payment of rent, Landlord shall have
the option (i) to require that beginning with the first payment of rent next due, rent shall no longer
be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance and/or
(ii) to require that Tenant increase the amount, if any, of the security deposit required under Section
3.2 as listed in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions by one hundred percent (100%), which
additional security deposit shall be retained by Landlord, and may be applied by Landlord, in the
manner provided in Section 3.2.
SECTION 13.4 RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements
to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any
sum of money, other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other
act on its part to be performed hereunder, or to provide any insurance or evidence of insurance to be
provided by Tenant, and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable grace period set forth in
Section 13.1, then in addition to any other remedies provided herein, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make
any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided in
this Lease or to provide such insurance. Any payment or performance of any act or the provision of
any such insurance by Landlord on Tenant's behalf shall not give rise to any responsibility of
Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts.
All costs, expenses and other sums incurred or paid by Landlord in connection therewith, together
with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date incurred or paid by Landlord shall
be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant with and at the same time as
the next monthly installment of basic annual rent hereunder, and any default therein shall constitute
a breach of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
SECTION 13.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease unless
and until. it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by
Tenant to Landlord, and to any mortgagee or beneficiary of deed of trust with an interest in any
encumbrance affecting Landlord's interest in the Premises, specifying in reasonable detail the
nature and extent of any such failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If, after notice to Landlord of default,
Landlord fails to curs such default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure such
default at Landlord's expense. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold,
reduce or offset any amount against any payments of basic annual rent or any other charges due and
payable hereunder, and Tenant's remedy shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction. It is
expressly understood and agreed to that any money judgment resulting from any default or other
claim arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits or other income
("Income") actually received from the operation of the Building and no other real, personal or
267.n14820-0001
154903,04 SON07101 -23-
mixed property of Landlord (the term "Landlord" for purposes of this Section only shall mean any
and all partners, both general and/or limited, if any, which comprise Landlord), wherever situated,
shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord and whether or not such
Income is sufficient for the payment of such judgment, Tenant will not institute any further action,
suit, claim or demand, in law or in equity, against Landlord for or on the account of such deficiency.
Tenant hereby waives, to the extent waivabie under law, any right to satisfy said money judgment
against Landlord except from Income received by Landlord for the operation of the Building.
SECTION 13.6 EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any
action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of or under this Lease,
including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent or possession of the Premises, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover its attorney's fees and costs, including without limitation, expert
witness fees, photocopying, facsimile, messenger and postage costs, in connection with such suit,
and such attorney's fees and costs shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such
action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE XIV. END OF TERM
SECTION 14.1 HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate and become null and void
without further notice upon the expiration of the term herein specified, and any holding over by
Tenant after such expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension hereof or give Tenant any
rights under this Lease, except when in writing signed by both parties hereto or as otherwise herein
provided. If Tenant shall hold over for any period after the expiration of the Lease term, Landlord
may, at its option, treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance only commencing on the first (1st) day
following the expiration of this Lease and subject to all of the terns and conditions herein
contained, except that the basic annual rent, and monthly installments thereof, shall be one hundred
fifty percent (150°l0) of that payable at the date of expiration.
SECTION 14.2 SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Upon the
expiration of the term of this Lease, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit
and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order, condition and repair as when
received or as hereafter may be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and
repairs which are Landlord's obligation excepted, and shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or
cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, all furniture, equipment, and trade
fixtures, free-standing cabinet work and other articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant
unless Landlord exercises its option to have any subleases or subtenancies assigned to it. Tenant
shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from such removal, which repair shall include the
patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage. In the event that Tenant shall fail to
comply with the provisions of this Section 14.2, Landlord may make such repairs and the cost
thereof shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If requested by Landlord, Tenant
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing releasing and
quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to the Premises by reason of
this Lease or otherwise.
SECTION 14.3 AFFIXED PROPERTY. All fixtures, equipment, alterations, additions,
improvements and/or appurtenances attached to or built into the Premises prior to or during the term
