ED-01-12 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 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.

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.

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. 267ro14320-Ml -11- 160277.02 PM01 SECTION 6.7 Intentionally omitted.

(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.

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.

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.

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 267/014SM-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 recover from Tenant to compensate Landlord for the detriment caused by Tenant's default.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ARTICLE XIV. END OF TERM SECTION 14.1 HOLDING OVER.

(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. SECTION 6.4 TENANT'S ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make alterations, additions 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 Landlord.

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.

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.

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 1&%M.02 mO vsro, -11- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 26710148204=1 16 "1.02 a07.'05101 -13- 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.

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 267ro14e20-WDI I"a1.02 s03:nsro1 -20- 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 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 (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 following the expiration of this Lease and subject to all of the terms and conditions herein contained, except that the basic annual rent, and monthly installments thereof, shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of that payable at the date of expiration.

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.

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.

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 o f said means shall not under any circumstances 26,1014920-0001 -11- 164681.0. 90,1J5101 SECTION 6.7 IntentionaIly omitted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.
