Ninety Six and 40/100ths Dollars ($6,296.40). Said sum shall be held by

perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security
Deposit or any balance thereof' shall be returned to Lessee (or, at
Lessor's option, to the last assignee of Lessee's interests hereunder) at
the expiration of the Lease term and after Lessee has vacated the

whereupon Lessee agrees to release Lessor from liability for the return
of' such Deposit or the accounting therefor. Lessee agrees that the amount

space plan.
5. TAX AND BUILDING OPERATING COST INCREASES
5.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following terms are
herein defined:
78
(a) Base Year: 2000.
(b) Project: Eureka Corporate Plaza, Phase 1, Phase II and Phase
III, consisting of approximately 90,350 gross square feet of building area
along with landscaping and parking areas ("Common Area"). Said square
footage is subject to change as additional phases of the project are
completed.
(c) Building Operating Costs: All reasonable costs and expenses of
ownership, operation maintenance, of the Building (excluding depreciation
on the Building, all amounts paid on loans of Lessor and expenses
capitalized for federal income tax purposes) including by way of

and service areas, driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, fire sprinklers
systems, sanitary and storm sewer lines, utility services,
heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems, electrical, mechanical or
other systems, Building telephone equipment, and wiring servicing,
plumbing, lighting, and any other items or areas which affect the
operation or appearance of the Building, (but excluding persons performing
services not uniformly available or performed for substantially all
Building Tenants), and rental expense or a reasonable allowance for
depreciation of personal property used in the maintenance, operation and
repair of the Building.
In addition, the Building Operating Costs shall include the
Building's proportionate share of the Owner's Association dues connected
with day-to-day operating, maintenance and repair of the common area of
the Project, its equipment the adjacent walks, malls and landscaped areas,
including by way of illustration but not limited to scavenger, gardening,
security, striping, sealing, asphalt repair or replacement, and the cost
of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all
persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with the above
duties. The Building's proportionate share of the Owner's Association dues
shall be computed on the basis of the ratio between the Gross Building
square footage and the total Project square footage, as may be adjusted
from time to time as other phases of the project are completed.
(d) Gross-Up. If the rentable area of the Building is less than
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any calendar year of the term as
determined by Lessor, Lessor shall make an appropriate adjustment to the
variable components of Building Operating Costs (e.g., utilities,
janitorial services and other component expenses that are affected by
variations in occupancy levels) for such year so that Tenant pays an
equitable portion of the increases in all variable items of Building
Operating Costs, as reasonably determined by Lessor; provided, however,
that in no event shall Lessor be entitled to collect in excess of one
hundred percent (100%) of the total Building Operating Cost increases from
all of the tenants in the Building.
(e) Net Rentable Area: The net rentable area is computed by
measuring to the window glass of outer building walls, to the middle of'
the Premises side of' public corridors and/or other permanent partitions
and to the center of partitions which separate the adjoining rentable
areas with no deduction for columns and projections necessary to the
Building structure. On multi-tenant floors, common corridors and toilets,
air conditioning rooms, fan rooms, janitorial closets, electrical and
telephone closets and any other areas within and
79
exclusively serving that floor are considered common area and for purposes
of this Section shall be allocated prorata to the Tenants on the floor.
5.2 Lessee's Share. In the event the Building Operating Costs incurred by
Lessor during any calendar year following the Base Year shall exceed
Building Operating Costs incurred by Lessor during the Base Year, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to twenty-five and 61/100ths percent
(25.61%) of such increase, which share is computed on the basis of the
ratio between Net Rentable Area in the Premises and Net Rentable Area in
the Building. Lessee acknowledges that Lessee's proportionate share is
based on the square footage of the lease space and is therefore subject to
adjustment based on a final, mutually approved space plan.
5.3 Payment. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year
following the Base Year, Lessor shall furnish Lessee a written statement
showing in reasonable detail Lessor's Building Operating Costs for the
preceding calendar year and the Base Year, and showing the amount, it'
any, of any increase or decrease in the sums due from Lessee taking into
account prior increases paid by Lessee (if any). However, the failure of
Lessor to supply such statement within said ninety (90) day period shall
not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to collect for any current or
past due Building Operating Cost overages during the term of this Lease.
Lessor and Lessee intend that the obligations of the preceding sentence
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Concurrent with the monthly rent payment next due following Lessee's
receipt of such statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (in the case of an
increase), or Lessor shall credit against the next rent due from Lessee
(in the case of a decrease), all amount equal to the sum of (1) the
difference between Building Operating Costs for the preceding calendar
year and the Base Year less increases paid by Lessee (if any); and (2)
one-twelfth (1/12th) of said increases for the current calendar year
multiplied by the number of rent payments (including the current one) then
elapsed in such calendar year. Thereafter the one twelfth (1/12th) shall
be paid monthly with the rent until the adjustment the following year
pursuant hereto. In no event shall the adjustment entitled Lessee to
receive the benefit of a reduction in Building Operating Costs below the
level of the initial Base Year during the term hereof.
5.4 New Taxes. In addition to rent and other charges to be paid by Lessee
hereunder, Lessee shall reimburse to Lessor, within thirty (30) days of
receipt of a demand therefor, any and all taxes payable by Lessor (other
than net income taxes) whether or not now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties hereto; (a) upon, allocable to, or measured
by the area of the Premises or on the rent payable hereunder, including
without limitation any gross income tax or excise tax levied by the State,
any political subdivision thereof, City or Federal Government with respect
to the receipt of such rent; or (b) upon or with respect to the
possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration,
repair, use or occupancy by Lessee of the Premises or any portion thereof;
or (c) upon or measured by the value of Lessee's personal property,
equipment or fixtures located in the Premises; or (d) upon this
transaction or any document to which Lessee is a party creating or
transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. Lessee agrees to
pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which
become payable during the term hereof upon Lessee's equipment, furniture,
fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises. For the
purpose of determining said amount, figures supplied by the County
Assessor as to the amount so assessed shall be conclusive. Lessee shall
comply with the provisions of any law, ordinance or rule of the taxing
authorities which require Lessee to file a report of Lessee's property
located in the Premises.

of any other tenant of the Building.

subrogation is contained in this Lease.

13.1 Partial Damage - Insured. In the event the Premises or the Building
are damaged by any casualty which is covered under fire and extended
coverage insurance carried by Lessor, then Lessor shall restore such
damage provided insurance proceeds are available to pay eighty percent
(80%) or more of the cost of restoration and provided such restoration can
be completed within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the work in
the opinion of a registered architect or engineer appointed by Lessor. In
such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that
Lessee shall be entitled to proportionate reduction of rent while such
restoration takes place, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the
extent to which the restoration efforts interfere with Lessee's business
in the Premises.
13.2 Partial Damage - Uninsured. In the event the Premises or the Building
are damaged by a risk not covered by Lessor's insurance or the proceeds of
available insurance are less than eighty percent (80%) of the cost of
restoration, or if the restoration cannot be completed within sixty (60)
days after the commencement of work in the opinion of the registered
architect or engineer appointed by Lessor, then Lessor shall have the
option either to (1) repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing
in full force and effect, but the rent to be proportionately abated as
hereinabove provided, or (2) give notice to Lessee at any time within
thirty (30) days after such damage terminating this Lease as of a date to
be specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than thirty (30)
nor more than sixty (60) days after giving such notice. In the event of
the giving of such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of
Lessee in the Premises shall terminate on such date so specified in such
notice and the rent, reduced by any proportionate reduction based upon the
extent, if any, to which said damage interfered with the use and occupancy
of Lessee, shall be paid to the date of such termination; Lessor agrees to
86
refund to the Lessee any rent theretofore paid in advance for any period
of time subsequent to such date.
13.3 Total Destruction. In the event the Premises are totally destroyed or
the Premises cannot be restored as required herein under applicable laws
and regulations, not withstanding the availability of insurance proceeds,
this Lease shall be terminated effective the date of the damage.
13.4 Damage Near End of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 13, Lessor shall not have any obligation whatsoever
to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting
from any causality covered under this Section 13 occurs during the last
twelve (12) months of the terms of this Lease or, any extension thereof.
13.5 Lessor's Obligations. The Lessor shall not be required to repair any
injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any restoration or
replacement of any paneling, decorations, partitions, railings, floor
covering, office fixtures or any other improvements or property installed
in the Premises by Lessee or at the direct or indirect expense of Lessee.
Lessee shall be required to restore or replace same in the event of
damage. Except for abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.
14. CONDEMNATION. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken or
appropriated for public or quasi-public use by right of eminent domain
with or without litigation or transferred by agreement in connection with
such public or quasi-public use, either party hereto shall have the right
at its option exercisable within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of
such taking to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is taken by
the condemning authority, provided, however, that before Lessee may
terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation as provided
hereinabove, such taking or appropriation shall be of such an extent and
nature as to substantially handicap, impede or impair Lessee's use of the
Premises. If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so
taken or appropriated, Lessor shall have the right at its option to
terminate this Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be
apportioned, and Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor any award which may be
made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of
Lessee now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give
Lessor any interest in or to require Lessee to assign to Lessor any award
made to Lessee for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging
to Lessee and/or for the interruption of or damage to Lessee's business
and/or for Lessee's unamortized cost of leasehold improvements. In the
event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this
Lease, rent shall be abated in the proportion which the part of the
premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises
immediately prior to the taking. No temporary taking of the Premises
and/or of Lessee's rights therein or under this Lease shall terminate this
Lease or give Lessee any right to any abatement of rent thereunder; any
award made to Lessee by reason of any such temporary taking shall belong
entirely to Lessee and Lessor shall not be entitled to share therein.
87
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
15.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Lessee shall not assign, transfer,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest
therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without
the prior written consent of Lessor and any attempt to do so without such
consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall
constitute a breach of this Lease.
15.2 Reasonable Consent. If Lessee complies with the following conditions,
Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of
the Premises or any portion thereof or the assignment of this Lease.
Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor (a) the name and legal
composition of the proposed sublessee or assignee; (b) the nature of the
business proposed to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and
provisions of the proposed sublease; (d) such reasonable financial
information as Lessor may request concerning the proposed sublessee or
assignee.
15.3 No Release of Lessee. No consent by Lessor to any assignment or
subletting by Lessee shall relieve Lessee of any obligation to be
performed by Lessee under this Lease, whether occurring before or after
such consent, assignment or subletting. The consent by Lessor to any
assignment or subletting shall not relieve Lessee from the obligation to
obtain Lessor's express written consent to any other assignment or
subletting. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any other person shall
not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or
to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent
to one assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to
constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or other
transfer.
15.4 Attorney's Fees. In the event Lessor shall consent to a sublease or
assignment under this Section 15, Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable
attorney's fees not to exceed $500 incurred in connection with giving such
consent.
15.5 Excess Rent. In the event Lessee sublets the entire Premises or any
part thereof, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor any "excess rent" (as such
term is herein defined) within thirty (30) days of Lessee's receipt
thereof. As used herein, "excess rent" shall mean any sums or economic
consideration received by Lessee pursuant to such subletting in excess of
the amount of the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease applicable to
the part or parts of the Premises so sublet.
16. SUBORDINATION
16.1 Subordination. This Lease at Lessor's option shall be subject and
subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may
hereafter be executed affecting the Premises or the land upon which the
Premises are situated or both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds
of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or
against the land or improvements or either thereof, of which the Premises
are a part, or on or against Lessor's interest or estate therein, or on or
against any ground or underlying lease without the necessity of the
execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Lessee to
effectuate such subordination. Such subordination is subject to and any
agreement executed evidencing such subordination shall reflect that the
Lessee's possession of the premises shall not be diminished or interfered
with provided Lessee complies with the terms of this agreement and is not
in default in the payment of rent. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground
lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage,
deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to
Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such
88
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior
or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease
or the date of the recording thereof.
16.2 Subordination Agreements. Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver upon demand without charge therefore, such further instruments
evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying
leases and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be
required by Lessor. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such agreements,
instruments, releases or other documents.
16.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants and agrees with Lessee that upon
Lessee paying rent and other monetary sums due under the Lease, performing
its covenants and conditions under the Lease and upon recognizing
purchaser as Lessor pursuant hereto, Lessee shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the premises for the term subject, however,
to the terms of the Lease and of any of the aforesaid ground leases,
mortgages or deeds of trust described above.
16.4 Attornment. In the event any proceedings are brought for default
under ground or any underlying lease or in the event of foreclosure or the
exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by
the Lessor covering the Premises, the Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser
upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
Lessor under this Lease, provided said purchaser expressly agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms of the Lease.
17. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
17.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) Any failure by Lessee to pay the rent or any other monetary sums
required to be paid hereunder;
(b) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Lessee,
(c) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee;
(d) The making by Lessee of any general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Lessee
of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy unless,
in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed
within sixty (60) days, the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take
possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises
or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to
Lessee within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the
Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
discharged within thirty (30) days.
17.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Lessee, Lessor may, at any time thereafter without limiting Lessor in the
exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Lessor may have
by reasons of such default or breach:
(a) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the
rent and other monetary charges as they become due, without terminating
Lessee's right to possession irrespective of whether Lessee shall have
abandoned the Premises. In the event Lessor elects not to terminate the
Lease, Lessor shall have the right to attempt to re-let the Premises at
such rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, and to do all acts
necessary to
89
maintain or preserve the Premises as Lessor deems reasonable and necessary
without being deemed to have elected to terminate the lease, including
removal of all persons and property from the Premises; such property may
be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of
and for the account of Lessee. In the event any such re-letting occurs,
this Lease shall terminate automatically upon the new Lessee taking
possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding that Lessor fails to elect to
terminate the Lease initially, Lessor at any time during the term of this
Lease, may elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of such previous
default of Lessee.
(b) Terminate Lessee's right to possession by any lawful means, in
which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately
surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall
be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default, including without limitation thereto, the
following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has
been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the
time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been
earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that is could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii)
the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that is could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other
amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately
caused by Lessee's failure to perform his obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result
therefrom; plus (v) at Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition
to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by
applicable State law. Upon any such re-entry Lessor shall have the right
to make any reasonable repairs, alterations or modifications to the
Premises, which Lessor in its sole discretion deems reasonable and
necessary. As used in (i) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum
from the date of default. As used in (ii) and (iii) the "worth at the time
of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
The term "rent," as used in this Section 17, shall be deemed to be and to
mean the rent to be paid pursuant to Section 3 and all other monetary sums
required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
17.3 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited
to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be
imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the
Premises. Accordingly, it' any installment of rent or any other sum due
from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within
ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. Failure of
Lessee to pay said late fee within five (5) days of its becoming due shall
be deemed a breach of this Lease. The parties hereby agree that such late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will
incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge
by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with
respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
17.4 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails
to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30)
90
days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any
first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and
address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing,
specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligations,
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that
more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Lessor shall
not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such thirty-day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
18. MISCELLANEOUS
18.1 Estoppel Certificate.
(a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than five (5) day's prior
written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a
statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in
full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full
force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are
paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to
Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder,
or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of
the Premises.
(b) Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such time
shall be conclusive upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and
effect, without modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii)
that there are no uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and (iii) that
not more than one month's rent has been paid in advance.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance or refinance the Building, or any
part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by
Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably required
by such lender. Such statements shall include the past three years'
financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be
received by Lessor in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes
herein set forth.
18.2 Transfer of Lessor's Interest. In the event of a sale or conveyance
by Lessor of Lessor's interest in the Premises or the Building other than
a transfer for security purposes only, Lessor shall be relieved from and
after the date specified in any such notice of transfer of all obligations
and liabilities accruing thereafter on the part of Lessor, provided that
any funds in the hands of Lessor at the time of transfer in which Lessee
has an interest, shall be delivered to the successor of Lessor. This Lease
shall not be affected by any such sale and Lessee agrees to attorn to the
purchaser or assignee provided all Lessor's obligations hereunder are
assumed in writing by the transferee.
18.3 Captions; Attachments; Defined Terms.
(a) The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience
only and shall not be deemed to be relevant in resolving any question of
interpretation or construction of any section of this Lease.

by the parties, are deemed by attachment to constitute part of this Lease
and are incorporated herein.
(c) The words "Lessor" and "Lessee," as used herein, shall include
the plural as well as the singular. Words used in neuter gender include
the masculine and feminine and words in the masculine or feminine gender
include the neuter. If there be more than one Lessor or Lessee, the
obligations hereunder imposed upon Lessor or Lessee shall be joint and
several;
91
as to a Lessee which consists of husband and wife, the obligations shall
extend individually to their sole and separate property as well as
community property. The term "Lessor" shall mean only the owner or owners
at the time in question of the fee title or a tenant's interest in a
ground lease of the land underlying the Building. The obligations
contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall be binding on
Lessor's successor's and assigns only during their respective periods of
ownership.
18.4 Entire Agreement. This instrument along with any exhibits and
attachments hereto constitutes the entire agreement between Lessor and
Lessee relative to the Premises and this Agreement and the exhibits and
attachments may be altered, amended or revoked only by an instrument in
writing signed by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor and Lessee agree hereby
that all prior or contemporaneous oral agreements between and among
themselves and their agents or representatives relative to the leasing of
the Premises are written in or revoked by this Agreement.
18.5 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any
extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected
thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
18.6 Costs of Suit.
(a) If Lessee or Lessor shall bring any action for any relief
against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease,
including any suit by Lessor for the recovery of rent or possession of the
Premises, the losing party shall pay the successful party a reasonable sum
for attorney's fees which 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.
(b) Should Lessor, without fault on Lessor's part, be made a party
to any litigation instituted by Lessee or by any third party against
Lessee, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises by
license of Lessee, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or
material furnished to or for Lessee or any such other person or otherwise
arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Lessee or of
any such other person, Lessee covenants to save and hold Lessor harmless
from any judgment rendered against Lessor or the Premises, or any part
thereof, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by Lessor in or in connection with such litigation.
(c) If Lessee or Lessor or their successors as assigns shall bring
an action against Broker or make Broker a party to litigation arising out
of this Lease, Broker shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's
fees and court costs from either Lessor or Lessee if Broker is adjudged by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be without fault in such matter.
18.7 Time; Joint and Several Liability. Time is of the essence of this
Lease and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions
relating to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Lessee. All the
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by
either party, if such party shall consist of more than one person or
organization, shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and
remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other
remedy at law or in equity.
18.8 Binding Effect; Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all
provisions hereof are to be construed as both covenants and conditions as
though the words importing such covenants and conditions were used in each
separate paragraph hereof. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to Section 18.2,
92
all of the provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns. This lease shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California.
18.9 Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be
deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the
waiver is claimed, and any waiver or the breach of any covenant, term or
condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant, term or condition.
Acceptance by Lessor of any performance by Lessee after the time the same
shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Lessor of the
breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise
expressly agreed to by Lessor in writing.
18.10 Surrender of Premises. The voluntary or other surrender of this
Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of the Lessor, terminate all or any
existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor,
operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or
subtenancies.
18.11 Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of all or any part of
the Premises after the expiration of the term hereof, with or without the
express or implied consent of Lessor, such tenancy shall be from month to
month only, and not a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term,
and in such case, rent and other monetary still due hereunder shall be
payable in the amount of 150% of the then current rent being paid and at
the time specified in this Lease and such month to month tenancy shall be
subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein.
18.12 Signs.
(a) Lessee shall not place or permit to be placed in or upon the
Premises, where visible from outside the Premises, or outside the Premises
or any part of the Building any signs, notices, drapes, shutters, blinds
or displays of any type without the prior written consent of Lessor.
(b) Lessor reserves the right in Lessor's sole discretion to place
and locate on the roof, exterior of the Building, and in any area of the
Building not leased to Lessee such signs, notices, displays and similar
items as Lessor deems appropriate in the proper operation of the Building.
18.13 Reasonable Consent. Except as limited elsewhere in this Lease,
wherever in this Lease Lessor or Lessee is required to give its consent or
approval to any action on the part of the other, such consent or approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of failure to give any
such consent, the other party shall be entitled to specific performance at
law and shall have such other remedies as are reserved to it under this
Lease, but in no event shall Lessor or Lessee be responsible in monetary
damages for failure to give consent unless said consent is withheld
maliciously or in bad faith.
18.14 Interest on Past Due Obligations. Except as expressly provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at eighteen
percent (18%) per annum from the due date. Payment of such interest shall
not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease.
18.15 Rules and Regulations; Parking. Lessee shall have the right to park
in the Project's parking facilities in common with other tenants of the
Project upon terms and conditions as may from time to time be established
by Lessor or the Project's Ownership Association. Parking for the Project
is available at no cost and is on a nonexclusive, first-come, first served
basis. The Project provides parking at the ratio of four spaces per
thousand usable square feet of building area. Lessee agrees not to
overburden the parking facilities and
93
agrees to cooperate with Lessor and other Lessees in the use of the
parking facilities. The term "overburden" shall mean any parking facility
use in excess of the ratio provided above. In the event Lessee
consistently overburdens the parking facilities, and is notified of such
by Lessor, and Lessee does not comply with measures to alleviate said
overburdening, Lessee shall be deemed in default of this Lease and shall
be subject to any Lessor remedies provided for in this Lease.
18.16 Notices. All Notices or demands of any kind required or desired to
be given by Lessor or Lessee hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed delivered forty-eight (48) hours after depositing the notice or
demand in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Lessor or Lessee respectively at the addresses
set forth after their signatures at the end of this Lease.
18.17 Corporate Authority. If Lessee is a corporation, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants
that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of
said corporation in accordance with the duly adopted resolution of the
Board of Directors of said corporation or in accordance with the By-laws
of said corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation
in accordance with its terms. If Lessee is a corporation Lessee shall,
within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, deliver to Lessor a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of said
corporation authorizing or ratifying the execution of this Lease.
18.18 Recordation. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall record this Lease or a
short form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of the
other party.
18.19 Inability to Perform. This Lease and the obligations of the Lessee
hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because the Lessor is unable
to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if
such inability or delay is caused by reason of strike, labor troubles,
acts of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the
Lessor.
18.20 Americans with Disabilities Act. Any other provision of this Lease
notwithstanding, the parties hereby agree that the demised premises may be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 (hereinafter the "ADA"). The parties further agree and acknowledge
that it shall be the sole responsibility of the Lessee to comply with any
and all provisions of the ADA, as such compliance may be required to
operate the demised premises. The Lessee further agrees to indemnify and
hold the Lessor harmless against any claims which may arise out of
Lessee's failure to comply with the ADA. Such indemnification shall
include, but not necessarily be limited to reasonable attorney's fees,
court costs and judgments as a result of said claims.
19. Additional Paragraphs 20 through 24 are attached hereto and made a part of
the Lease.
In Witness Whereof, Lessor and Lessee have executed this Lease the date and year

Lease for an additional term of five (5) years upon the same terms and
conditions as herein contained, except as modified by this paragraph
provided that Lessee not be in material default under this lease at the

notice to Lessor no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of
