4.2 INCREASES IN DIRECT EXPENSES/ADDITIONAL RENT. If the Direct Expenses
paid or incurred by the Landlord for the Comparison Year are in excess of the

Tenant's Percentage Share of the increase as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be required to pay any Direct Expenses
in excess of Direct Expenses paid or incurred for the Base Year, until after the
first Anniversary Date of this Lease. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant,
on or before the first day of March of each year following the respective
Comparison Year, a statement of the increase in Direct Expenses payable by
Tenant hereunder, but failure by Landlord to give such statement by March 1
shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to require payment of the
increase in Direct Expense. Upon receipt of the statement for the first
Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay in full the total amount of increase due for
the first Comparison Year. In addition for the then current year, the amount
which Landlord estimates, at Landlord's sole determination, for the increase in
Direct Expenses between the Base Year and the said current year, shall be
divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, concurrently with the Minimum Monthly Rent payment next due following
the receipt of such statement, an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment
multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which
said statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both months inclusive.
Subsequent installments shall be payable concurrently with the Minimum Monthly
Rent payments for the balance of that calendar year. If the next or any
succeeding Comparison Year results in a greater increase in Direct Expenses than
that previously estimated by the Landlord, then, not later than twenty (20)
days following receipt of a statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay a lump sum
equal to such total increase in Direct Expenses over the Comparison Year, less
the total of the monthly installments of estimated increases paid in the
previous year for which comparison is then being made; and the estimated monthly
installments to be paid for the next year, following said Comparison Year, shall
be adjusted to reflect Landlord's estimate of such increase in Direct Expenses
for that current year. If, in any Comparison Year, the Tenant's share of Direct
Expenses is less than the preceding year, then upon receipt of Landlord's
statement, any overpayment made by Tenant on the monthly installment basis
provided above shall be credited towards the next installment of Minimum Monthly
Rent falling due.
4.2.1 Not more frequently than once per calendar year, within days
after receipt of Landlord's statement comparing Tenant's payment of Direct
Expenses during that calendar year against Tenant's Percentage Share of such
expenses, Tenant may request in writing to audit Landlord's books and records
pertaining to such expenses. Tenant shall have no right to request to audit
Landlord's books and records pertaining to such expenses, except during such
period. If no such written request is made within the period, Tenant stipulates
and agrees that said figures are for all purposes correct and accurate, and the
amount of the billing is proper. In the event Tenant requests copies of any
portion
8
of Landlord's books and records pertaining to such expenses, such copies shall
be provided by Landlord to Tenant at Tenant's expense. *SEE ADDENDUM
4.3 FINAL DETERMINATION OF TENANT'S SHARE OF DIRECT EXPENSES. Even though
the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final
determination is made of Tenant's Percentage Share for the year in which this
Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the
estimated Direct Expenses paid, and conversely, any overpayment made by Tenant
in the event Direct Expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant.
4.4 TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY. Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all
taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed
upon or measured by the value of its business operation, including but not
limited to the furniture, trade and other fixtures, equipment and other property
of Tenant any time situated on or installed in the Premises by Tenant. If at any
time during the Term any of the foregoing are assessed as a part of the real
property of which the Premises are a part, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon
demand the amount of such additional taxes as may be levied against said real
property by reason thereof. For the purpose of determining said amount, figures
supplied by the County Assessor as to the amount so assessed shall be
conclusive.
4.5 BUILDING SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Landlord shall also furnish to the
Premises (i) sewer and domestic water service and (ii) facilities for the
delivery and distribution within the Premises of electricity and telephone (the
foregoing utility facilities and the HVAC Service are hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Utilities"). Tenant shall pay for all Utilities used by Tenant
within the Premises. If a separate meter is required by Tenant for any
Utilities, such meter shall be installed and maintained at Tenant's expense.
*See Addendum
4.5.1 If Tenant's electrical consumption is separately metered, Tenant
shall pay for such costs directly to the public utility company or to Landlord
as Landlord directs (and if such payment is made to Landlord, Landlord shall be
responsible for payment to the public utility). If Tenant's electrical
consumption is NOT separately metered, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage
Share of the electrical consumption of the Building as a part of Direct
Expenses; provided however, if Tenant's electrical consumption was not initially
separately metered and if a separate meter is subsequently installed to monitor
Tenant's electrical consumption, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment
to Minimum Monthly Rent and Direct Expenses to account for the fact that Tenant
is directly paying such separately metered charges to the public utility (or to
Landlord as the case may be) and not as a part of Tenant's Minimum Monthly Rent
or Tenant's Percentage Share of Direct Expenses. If Tenant's electrical
consumption is NOT separately metered and is in excess of the quantity provided
by Landlord or extends beyond Business Hours, Landlord may install a separate
switch, meter or metering system to be installed at Tenant's expense to measure
the amount of electrical consumption by Tenant and charge Tenant for such excess
consumption at the rates charged by the local public utility providing the same
plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electricity so
consumed.
4.5.2 Landlord shall provide customary and routine cleaning and
janitorial service for the Premises not less than five (5) days per week, during
non Business Hours; provided however, if Tenant is a health care provider,
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, (i) make
9
arrangements for such cleaning and janitorial services for the Premises with a
contractor which shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of Landlord
and (ii) satisfy all laws and regulations governing the disposal of medical
waste and to arrange for the proper disposal of such waste. The disposal of
medical waste is not part of the ordinary services provided by Landlord, and
Landlord is not required to provide such services pursuant to this Lease. Tenant
agrees to indemnify, def end and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and
all claims, costs, loss or liability arising out of or in any connected to
Tenant's disposal of such waste.
4.5.3 Tenant shall not install or use machinery or equipment that use
excess water, lighting or power, nor shall Tenant permit any act that causes
extra burden upon the Utilities, or Building services. Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord within ten (10) working days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice from
Landlord, all reasonable charges imposed by Landlord from time to time for all
such excess Utilities and/or additional services consumed by Tenant or used in
the Premises.
4.5.4 Landlord reserves the right to interrupt, curtail, stop or
suspend Utilities when necessary, in Landlord's reasonable discretion by reason
of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or
improvements or because of difficulty or inability in securing supplies or
labor, or because of strikes, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable
control of Landlord, whether such cause be similar or dissimilar lo those
hereinabove specifically mentioned, until such cause has been removed. Except as
specifically provided in Section 4.7 below, there shall be no diminution or
abatement of Rent or other charges due under this Lease as a result of said
interruption, curtailment or suspension of Utilities and/or other Building
services, nor shall this Lease be affected or any of the Tenant's obligations
hereunder be reduced. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for
any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage or suspension of services or
systems as provided for in this Section 4.5, except that Landlord shall exercise
reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of same.
4.5.5 Landlord reserves the right to install new or additional utility
facilities throughout the Building and the Common Areas for the benefit of the
Landlord or Tenant, or any other tenants of the Building including, but not by
way of limitation, such Utilities as plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC systems,
communication systems and fire protection and detection systems, including entry
into the Premises for such purposes, so long as such installations do not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.
4.6 ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges payable by Tenant other than Minimum
Monthly Rent are called "Additional Rents. Unless this Lease provides otherwise,
all Additional Rent shall be paid with the next monthly installment of Minimum
Monthly Rent. The term "Rent" shall mean Minimum Monthly Rent and Additional
Rent. Tenant's failure to pay any Additional Rent due hereunder shall constitute
an Event of Default under this Lease.
4.7 ABATEMENT OF RENT WHEN TENANT IS PREVENTED FROM USING PREMISES.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that
Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion
thereof, for ten (10) consecutive business days (the "Eligibility Period") as a
result of any damage or destruction to the Premises or any repair, maintenance
or
10
alteration performed by Landlord at any time after Tenant commences business
from any portion of the Premises, which interferes with Tenant's use of the
Premises, or any failure to provide utilities, services or access to the
Premises or because of an eminent domain proceeding, then Tenant's Rent shall be
abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility
Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and
does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof in the proportion that the
rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.
However, in the event that Tenant is prevented from conducting, and does not
conduct, its business in any portion of the Premises for a period of time in
excess; of the Eligibility Period, and the remaining portion of the Premises is
not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and
if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for
such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so
prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Rent for the
entire Premises shall be abated; provided, however, if Tenant reoccupies and
conducts its business from any portion of the Premises during such period, the
Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the
rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total
rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date such
business operations commence. If Tenant s right to abatement occurs because of
damage or destruction to the Premises or Tenant's property, Tenant's abatement
period shall continue until Tenant has been given sufficient time, and
sufficient access to the Premises. to rebuild the portion of the Premises it is
required to rebuild, to install its property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment
and to move in over one (1) weekend. To the extent Tenant is entitled to
abatement because of an event covered by Article 10 (Damage or Destruction) or
Article 11 (Eminent Domain) of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not
be applicable.

use and occupancy of the Premises and/or Tenant's improvements or acts. The
judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in
any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that
Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation
or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between the Landlord and
Tenant.

activity, work or other thing done, permitted or suffered by the Tenant, its
agents or employees, in or about the Building or the Common Areas and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all
liabilities and claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of
any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease,
or arising from any act or negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent,
employee, guest or invitee of Tenant, and from and against all costs, attorneys'
fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or any action
or proceeding brought thereon, and, if any cast, action, claim or proceeding be
brought or asserted against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
no ice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the
consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause other than the
negligence of Landlord, or its designated agents, servants or employees, unless
covered by insurance which Tenant is required to provide, and Tenant hereby
waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. Tenant's obligation to

Landlord's activities on the Premises or the Building or the Project, and
Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant harmless from any
such loss, costs, liability, damage and expense arising directly out of such
negligent acts or omissions or such willful misconduct. Further, Tenant's
13
agreement to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless pursuant to Section 7.1 and
the exclusion from Tenant's indemnity and the agreement by Landlord to indemnify
and hold Tenant harmless pursuant to this Section 7.2 are not intended to and
shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under polices
required to be carried by Landlord or Tenant, respectively, pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease to the extent that such policies cover the results of
such negligence or omissions or such willful misconduct. If either party
breaches this Lease by its failure to carry required insurance, such failure
shall automatically be deemed to be the covenant and agreement by Landlord or
Tenant, respectively, to self-insure such required coverage, with full waiver of
subrogation.

shall not be liable for any damage to property entrusted by Tenant to employees

explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may
leak from any part of the Premises or the Building, or from the pipes,

property, or loss of property, in and about the Premises, Building, or Common
Areas, and the approaches, entrances, streets, sidewalks or corridors thereto,
by or from any unauthorized or criminal acts of third parties, regardless of any

equipment provided by Landlord or Tenant. Tenant shall immediately notify
Landlord in writing of any breakdown or malfunction of any security measures,
practices or equipment provided by Landlord which are known to Tenant. *See

maintaining or repairing such property, except and to the extent the cost of
such repairs or replacements are covered by insurance carried by Landlord and

all damages resulting from any violation of the provisions of this Section 8.2.
Any contractors retained by Tenant for the purpose of complying with Tenant's
obligations under this Section 8.2 shall have received the prior written

nature of the cause or of the identity of he party responsible for the repair
thereof.

shall remove all of Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures and equipment
from the Premises and shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and

(whether or not made with Landlord's consent) by no later than the termination
of the Lease and to restore the Premises to the condition specified by Landlord
including, without limitation, sign removal and repair and all patching and

Installations in or to the Premises (collectively "Alterations") without
Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at the time
of seeking such prior written consent, detailed copies of all plans and
specifications for all Alterations to the Premises. As used in this Section 8,
the term "Utility Installation" shall mean power panels, electrical distribution
systems, security systems, lighting fixtures, air conditioning, plumbing and
telephone and telecommunication wiring and equipment. No Alterations shall be
undertaken without first providing Landlord with a copy of the signed permit(s)
issued by the appropriate governmental agency or agencies, if a permit(s) is
required. All Alterations made by Tenant, except light fixtures, cases, counters
and other removable trade fixtures shall, upon installation, be deemed to have
become part of the freehold and the property of Landlord. Landlord may require
Tenant to provide demolition and/or lien and completion bonds in form and amount
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly remove any Alterations
constructed in violation of this Section 8.4 upon Landlord's written request.

a licensed contractor approved by Landlord. Upon completion of any Alterations,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all construction contracts, and
proof of payment (including unconditional lien waivers) for all labor and
materials. Tenant shall
16
reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord (including architects'
and/or engineers' fees) in approving Tenant's plans for Alterations.

Tenant, Tenant shall provide its own trash containers for construction debris

to not interfere with the quiet enjoyment or business operations of other
tenants in the Building. Tenant shall not conduct any core drilling during
business hours.
8.4.2 Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and material
furnished to the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days'

under the Mechanics' Lien Law of California and other applicable laws. Tenant
shall keep the Premises free and clear of all mechanics' liens resulting from
Alterations done by or for Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to contest the
correctness or the validity of any such lien immediately on demand by Landlord,
Tenant procures and records a lien release bond issued by a corporation
authorized to issue surety bonds in California in an amount equal to one and
one-half (1-1/2) times the amount of the claim of lien. The bond shall meet the
requirements of Civil Code Section 3143 and shall provide for the payment of any
sum that the claimant may recover on the claim (together with costs of suit, if
it recovers in the action). Furthermore, at all times when Tenant or its agents,
contractors or employees are performing Alterations, Tenant or Tenant's
contractor shall maintain public liability and property damage insurance on such
activities with a single combined limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000),
naming the Landlord as an additional insured. Furthermore, Tenant or Tenant's
contractor shall procure workmen's compensation insurance to cover the
activities of all persons engaged in such Alterations.

Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, or imposed upon any personal
property of Tenant located within the Premises. Tenant agrees that its interior
decorating, including color scheme, shall be subject to the prior approval of
Landlord and Landlord's architect which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant shall make no changes to any entry locks or locks installed on
any other doors located in the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's prior
written approval. It is acknowledged by Tenant that a master key system has been
employed by Landlord, and that any such lock change could hinder access to the
Premises for such purposes as security and fire fighting. In the event that
during the Term hereof any Alteration is mandated by law, regulation, rule or
the requirement of any insurance company (as a condition to the issuance or
continuation of insurance coverage) to be made to the Premises, or any portion
thereof, because of Tenant's use of the Premises, then, and in that event, such
Alteration shall be made and paid for by Tenant.
8.5 INSTALLATION OF FIXTURES. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
grant Tenant written permission to enter upon the Premises prior to the

described in Article 12. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damage to or
loss of such fixtures, equipment or furnishings, Tenant accepting the full risk
for such damage or loss if any. Tenant shall pay for all utilities consumed by
Tenant or its contractors in preparing the Premises for opening of Tenant's
business.

at any time, to remodel, expand, change or refurbish all or any part of the
Building, Common Areas or the surrounding property, including the right (but not
the obligation) to enclose or otherwise cover all or part of the Common Areas,
to landscape or re-landscape portions of the Building or Common Areas, to
reconstruct, remodel or refurbish any portion of the exterior of the Building,
and/or to change, modify or alter parking, access or other traffic matters. In
connection with the exercise of Landlord's rights as set forth in this Section
8.6, Landlord, its agents and employees, shall have the right of reasonable
entry and to conduct work within the Premises. Tenant hereby releases Landlord
for any and all liability arising from (i) any interference or diminution in
access to the Premises; (ii) noise or dust resulting from Landlord's work; and
(iii) reduction or limitation of available parking spaces for Tenant's employees
and invitees, so long as such activity does not unreasonably interfere with the
operation of Tenant's business. This Lease is not intended to nor shall it
confer upon Tenant any view corridors. The obstruction of Tenant's view, air or
light by any structure erected in the vicinity of the Building, whether by
Landlord or third parties, shall not in any way affect this Lease or impose any
liability upon Landlord, nor shall Landlord be liable for interference with any
other incorporeal hereditament.
ARTICLE 9 - PERFORMANCE BY TENANT
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 except as specifically provided in
Section 4.7 above. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money owed to any
party other than Landlord, or perform any act for any party other than Landlord,
for which Tenant is liable hereunder, and such failure or violation shall
continue for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, and a
reasonable additional period of time thereafter to perform any such act if such
additional time is required, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant
from its obligations, make any such payment or perform any such other act to be
made or performed by Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary
incidental costs, together with interest hereon at the Interest Rate from the
date of such payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand, and
shall be deemed Additional Rent.
ARTICLE 10 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF LEASEHOLD
10.1 DESTRUCTION COVERED BY INSURANCE. In the event the Premises or the
Building are damaged by fire or other perils which are fully covered by fire and
extended coverage insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the same, and
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord may elect, by written
notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such casualty, to terminate this
Lease in lieu of restoring the Premises if either (i) the Building or Premises
are damaged or destroyed to the extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
their replacement cost, or (ii) the damage is such
18
that the Building or the Premises cannot be repaired and restored within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the casualty.
10.2 DESTRUCTION NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. In the event the Premises or
the Building are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils covered
by fire and e~tended coverage insurance, Landlord shall have the option to: (i)
repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect;
or (ii) give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such
damage, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which
date shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days
after the giving of such notice. In the event Landlord gives notice of its
election to terminate this Lease, as is provided for n this Section 10.2, the
Lease shall terminate, and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall
terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Rent shall be paid up
to date of termination.
10.3 REPAIR COSTS EXCEEDING INSURANCE COVERAGE. If the cost of the
restoration of the Premises or the Building exceeds the amount of proceeds
received from insurance, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving
notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after determining that the restoration
cost will exceed the insurance proceeds. If Landlord elects to terminate this
Lease and Tenant does not elect to contribute toward the cost of restoration as
provided in this Section 10.3, this Lease shall terminate, and all interest of
the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such
notice and the Rent shall be paid up to date of termination. If the destruction
was caused by an act or omission of Tenant, or its agents or employees, Tenant
shall immediately pay Landlord, upon Landlord's demand, the difference between
the actual cost of restoration and any insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

damage or destruction ("Damage Notice Date"), Landlord shall give Tenant notice
of Landlord's good faith determination of whether or not the damage or
destruction can be repaired under applicable laws, within one hundred eighty
(180) days after the Damage Notice Date. In the event Landlord determines that
such repairs to the Building and/or the Premises and/or the Common Areas cannot,
in Landlord's good faith judgment, be substantially completed under applicable
laws within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Damage Notice Date, then
Landlord shall notify Tenant of such determination. In such notice Landlord
shall either agree to undertake such repairs (in which event the notice shall
include Landlord's estimate of the time required to complete the same) or elect
to terminate this Lease. If Landlord agrees to undertake the repairs, but states
that the required repairs will not be substantially completed within one hundred
and eighty (180) days of the Damage Notice Date, Tenant shall have an option,
exercisable by written notice thereof delivered to Landlord not later than the
thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord's delivery of Landlord's notice that the
repairs will not be completed within such one hundred and eighty (180) day
period, to terminate this Lease. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercise a right
of termination following Landlord's determination that the repairs will take
more than one hundred and eighty (180) days, then Landlord shall diligently
undertake to repair such damage or destruction.
19
10.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of reconstruction of the Premises
under this Article 10, the Rent otherwise payable under this Lease shall be
abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is
impaired. Such abatement shall commence on the date of such damage or
destruction and continue during the period while Landlord is completing the
repairs required of it under this Article 10. Tenant shall continue to operate
its business on the Premises during any such abatement period to the extent
reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management.
Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damage, from Landlord for

or the Building, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any
injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs to, or
replacements of, Tenant's Personal Property. However, as a part of Direct
Expenses, Landlord shall cause to be insured the Tenant Improvements and
Alterations which do not constitute Tenant's Personal Property and shall cause
such Tenant Improvements and Alterations to be repaired and restored at
Landlord's sole cost and expense except that Tenant shall pay for such portion
which is covered by the deductible. Landlord shall have no responsibility for
any contents placed or kept in or on the Premises or the Building by Tenant or
Tenant's employees.

11.4.1 PARTIAL TAKING OF PREMISES. If any portion of the Premises is
taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Landlord
or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if twenty-five percent (25%) or more
of the total number of square feet of the floor area in the Premises is taken,
and the remainder of the Premises is rendered economically unusable by Tenant.
If either party elects to terminate this Lease, that party must exercise its
right to terminate pursuant to this Section by giving notice to the other party
within thirty (30) days after the nature and the extent of the Taking have been
fully determined. If either party elects to terminate this Lease, they shall
notify the other party of the date of termination, which date shall not be
earlier than thirty (30) days nor later
21
than ninety (90) days after the other party has been notified of the terminating
party's election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the
Date of Taking if the Date of Taking falls on a date before the date of
termination as designated by the terminating party. If neither party terminates
this Lease within the thirty (30) day period, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, except that Rent shall be reduced as provided below.
Furthermore, at Landlord's cost and expense, and as soon as reasonably possible,
Landlord will restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete unit
of like quality and character as existed prior to such Taking.
11.4.2 PARTIAL TAKING OF BUILDING. If more than twenty percent (20%)
of the floor area of the Building in which the Premises is located is taken,
Landlord may terminate this Lease, at Landlord's option, as of the date the

Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such Taking
(or in the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the Condemnor
takes possession).

Tenant's parking facilities. If such a Taking materially interferes with access
to the Premises and/or Tenant's rights to parking within the parking facilities
within the Project, and comparable substitute parking is not made available to
Tenant, then either party shall have the election to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Article 11. For purposes of this Section 11.4.3, such a partial
Taking of the Common Areas shall be deemed to materially interfere with access
to the Premises and/or Tenant's rights to parking within the parking facilities
within the Project only if twenty five percent (25%) or more of the Common Areas
is taken and comparable substitute parking or access to the Premises is not made
available to Tenant.
11.4.4 EFFECT ON RENT. If any portion of the Premises is taken by
Condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the Date of
Taking, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced by an amount which is in the
same ratio to Minimum Monthly Rent as the total number of square feet in the
Premises taken bears to the total number of square feet in the Premises
immediately before the Date of Taking.
11.5 RESTORATION. If there is a partial Taking of the Premises and this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to this Article 11,
Landlord, at its cost, shall accomplish all necessary restoration so that the
Premises are returned as near as practical to their condition immediately prior

portions thereof, shall belong to and shall be he sole property of Landlord,

attributable to the taking of personal property, good will, relocation expenses
and/or interests in other than the real property taken, provided the same does
not in any way diminish the Award to Landlord.
22
11.7 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event this Lease is cancelled or
terminated pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article 11, all Rent and
other charges payable on the part of Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be paid
either as of the date upon which actual physical possession shall be taken by
the Condemnor, or as of the date upon which Tenant ceases doing business in,
upon or from the Premises, whichever last occurs; and the parties shall
thereupon be released from all further liability hereunder, except that Landlord
shall make an equitable refund to Tenant of any unearned, unused or
unappropriated advance Rent or Security Deposit theretofore paid by Tenant to
Landlord and except for items which have heretofore accrued and are then unpaid,
and those obligations, if any, which by the terms of this Lease, survive such
termination.
11.8 RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS LEASE FOR TAKING. Neither party shall have
the right to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial Taking of the
Premises, other than as is specifically provided for in this Article 11. Both
parties agree that the provisions of this Article 11 shall govern the rights and

the Building, and specifically waive the provisions of California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1265.130 (and any successor provision).

specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to
liability for injury to or death of persons and injury or damage to property
contained in Section 7.1 of this Lease; however, the limits of said insurance
shall not limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. Not more frequently than each
two (2) years, if, in the opinion of Landlord's lender or of the insurance

insurance coverage as required by either Landlord's lender or Landlord's
insurance broker.

be carried with the same insurer that issues the insurance for the personal
property.
12.1.5 POLICY FORM. All policies of insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant under the terms of this Section 12.1 shall be issued by
insurance companies, with general policyholder's rating of not less than A and a

for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of Landlord, Tenant and such
other parties designated by Landlord. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions
must be declared to and approved by Landlord. If Landlord disapproves of the
amount of any such deductible or self-insured retention, Landlord may either (i)
require Tenant's insurer to reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured
retentions with respect to Landlord, its officers, employees, partners and
agents or (ii) require Tenant to procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses
and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses to the
e~tent of any such deductible or self-insured retention. Copies of such policies

the coverage required herein shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the
delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and thereafter prior to the
expiration of that term of each such policy. All liability policies shall
contain a provision that Landlord, although named an additional insured, shall

policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like
extent. All policies of insurance delivered to Landlord must contain a provision

in writing (by certified mail, return receipt requested) in advance of any
cancellation or lapse or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of
insurance. All liability policies to be maintained by Tenant shall be written as
primary policies, not contributing with and in e~cess of coverage which Landlord
may carry. In addition, such policies shall include a waiver by the insurer of
any right of subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees and
representatives, which arises or might arise by reason of any payment under such
Policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees or
representatives. No later than ten ( 0,1 days prior to the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall deliver to
24
Landlord, copies of all policies or certificates (together with any required
endorsements) evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage
satisfactory to Landlord.
12.1.6 BLANKET POLICIES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained within this Section, Tenant's obligations to carry the insurance
provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so called blanket
policy or policies of property insurance carried and maintained by Tenant,
provided, however, that Landlord, its officers, employees, partners and agents,
and Landlord's mortgagee(s) or beneficiary(ies) shall be named as an additional
insured thereunder as their interest may appear, and that the coverage afforded
Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee(s) or beneficiary(ies) will not be reduced or
diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and
provided further that the requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied.
Tenant agrees ta permit Landlord at all reasonable times to inspect the policies
of insurance of Tenant covering risks upon the Premises for which policies or
copies thereof are not delivered to Landlord.
12.1.7 TENANT'S FAILURE TO PROCURE INSURANCE. Tenant agrees that if
Tenant does not carry and maintain any such insurance required to be carried
pursuant to this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure such
insurance on Tenant's behalf and charge Tenant the premiums, together with a ten
percent (10%) handling charge, payable upon demand as Additional Rent.
12.2 INSURANCE MAINTAINED BY LANDLORD AND PAID BY BUILDING TENANTS.
12.2.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force
during the Term, a policy of combined single limit bodily injury and broad form
property damage insurance, plus coverage against such other risks Landlord deems
advisable from time to time, insuring Landlord, but not Tenant, against
liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Building or the Project, if any, in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) per occurrence.
12.2.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force,
during the Term, a policy or policies of property insurance covering loss or
damage to the Building, the Project, the Tenant Improvements and the Alterations
but not Tenant's Personal Property, in an amount determined by Landlord or as
required by Landlord's lenders. Such policy or policies of insurance shall
provide protection against any and all perils generally included in the "All
Risk" classification with earthquake coverage insurance, if required by the
first mortgagee deed of trust trustee or deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord,
or by any federal, state, county, city or local authority, together with
insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism, malicious mischief, plate glass,
and such other perils as Landlord deems advisable or may be required by a lender
having a lien on the Building or the Project, if any. In addition, Landlord
shall obtain and keep in force, during the Term, a policy of loss of rents
insurance, covering Tenant's tenancy, providing for insurance proceeds for a
period of one (1) year of Tenant's tenancy, with loss payable to Landlord, which
insurance shall also cover all Direct Expenses for said period. Tenant shall not
be named in any such policies carried by Landlord and shall have no right to any
proceeds therefrom.
25
12.2.3 COSTS/DEDUCTIBLES. The policies required by Sections 12.2.1 and
12.2.2 shall contain such deductibles as Landlord or Landlord's lenders may
determine. The cost of all such policies shall be chargeable to Tenant as a
Building Cost. In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss, as
defined in Article 10, the deductible amounts under the applicable insurance
policies shall also be deemed Building Costs. Tenant shall not do or permit to
be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by
Landlord. Tenant shall pay the entirety of any increase in the property
insurance premium for the Building or the Project, if any, over what it was
immediately prior to the Commencement Date, if the increase is specified by
Landlord's insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Tenant's occupancy
or any act or omission of Tenant. Landlord's obligation to carry the insurance
provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of any so-called blanket
policy or policies of property insurance carried and maintained by Landlord,
provided that the coverage afforded will not be reduced or diminished by reason
of the use of such blanket policy of property insurance.
12.3 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant and Landlord (for themselves and their
insurers) each hereby releases and relieves the other, and waives its right of
recovery against the other, and against the officers, partners, employees,
agents and representatives of the other, and against other tenants of the
Building (provided such parties and other tenants have waived such rights
against Landlord and Tenant), for direct or consequential loss 03 damage arising
out of or incident to the perils covered by property insurance carried by such
party, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, or their agents,
employees, contractors and/or invitees, to the item of such insurance coverage.
If necessary, all property insurance policies required under this Lease shall be
endorsed to contain this waiver of subrogation provision.
12.4 NO REPRESENTATIONS OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Landlord makes no
representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified in
this Article 12 are adequate to cover Tenant's property or obligations under
this Lease.

have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the
following purposes: (i) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition
and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (ii) in
case of emergency or to do any necessary maintenance, restoration, repairs or
improvements to the Premises, the Building, Common Areas, the Project, or other
leasehold premises in the Building that Landlord has the right or obligation to
perform; (iii) to serve, post or keep posted any notices required or allowed
under the provisions of this Lease; (iv) to post "for rent" or "for lease"

(vi) to shore the foundations, footings and walls of the Premises or the
Building in which the Premises are located and to erect scaffolding and

or preservation of the Premises or the Building and other improvements in which
the Premises are located; and (vii) to remodel the Building. *SEE ADDENDUM
13.1.1 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, without liability to Tenant. Any entry to the Premises
obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not, under any
circumstances, be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry to, or
a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premiss or any
portion thereof. Landlord shall conduct its activities on the Premises as
allowed in this Section in a manner that will cause the least possible
inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant. Except in cases of
emergency, when the Tenant has abandoned or surrendered the Premises, or if it
is impracticable to do so, the Landlord shall give the Tenant reasonable notice
and enter only during normal business hours. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord
such licenses or easements in and over the Premises or any portion thereof as
shall be reasonably required for the installation or maintenance of mains,
conduits, pipes or other facilities to serve the Building or any part thereof,
including, but not by way of limitation, the Premises of any occupant; provided,
however, that Landlord shall pay for any alteration required on the Premiss as a
result of any such exercise, occupancy under, or enjoyment of any such license
or easement. *SEE ADDENDUM
13.2 NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.7
above, Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience,
disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising out of
Landlord's entry on the Premises as provided in this Section, except damage
resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
authorized representatives, but only to the extent such damage is not covered by
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall
not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of Rent if Landlord exercises any
rights reserved in this Section, so long as such activity does not unreasonably
interfere with the operation of Tenant's business in the Premises.
27
ARTICLE 14 - RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the "Rules and
Regulations," attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and all reasonable and
nondiscriminatory modifications and additions thereto. However, Landlord shall
not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or nonperformance by any other
tenant or occupant of the Building of any of the Rules and Regulations, but
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Rules and Regulations
in a nondiscriminatory manner. The Rules and Regulations are in addition to, and
shall not be construed to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the
terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall be
responsible for the observance of all of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant's
employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees and guests.
ARTICLE 15 - RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
15.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Tenant shall not, voluntarily or
involuntarily, because of death, divorce, disability, or by operation of law or
otherwise, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber its interest in th s Lease or
the Premises or sublease all or any portion of the Premises, or allow any other
person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises (collectively
"Transfer"), without first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent. Any
Transfer without such consent, shall be void and, at the option of Landlord,
shall terminate this LeasE. Any consent to any Transfer which may be given by
Landlord shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the provisions of this
Article 15 or a release of Tenant from the full performance by it of the
covenants herein contained. Il Tenant is a partnership, a transfer of any
interest of a general partner, a withdrawal of any general partner from the
partnership, or the merger or dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed to
be a Transfer. If Tenant is a corporation, unless Tenant is a public corporation
whose stock is regularly traded or a national stock exchange, or is regularly
traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on NASDAQ, any dissolution,
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or sale or other
transfer of a percentage of capital stock of Tenant which results in a change of
controlling persons, or the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed to be a Transfer. For purposes of this
Article 15, the term "Transferee" includes without limitation, assignees,
subtenants, or any other party who acquires an interest in the Premises or this
Lease by way of pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance. *See Addendum
15.2 TRANSFER NOTICE. Tenant shall give Landlord at least sixty (60) days
advance written notice ("Transfer Notice"), of its desire to proceed with a
Transfer and shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name of the proposed
transferee, (ii) in detail, the nature of the proposed transferee's business to
be carried on in the Premises, (iii) whether Tenant proposes to assign the
Lease, sublet the Premises or change ownership, (iv) the proposed effective date
of the Transfer, (v) all the material terms and conditions of the Transfer, (vi)
financial statements, income statements and balance sheets for the two (2) most
recent completed fiscal or calendar years of the proposed transferee, and (vii)
a bank reference. The Transfer Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the
proposed agreement documenting the Transfer, or if none, a copy of any offers,
draft agreements, letters of commitment
28
or intent, and other documents pertaining to the proposed Transfer. Thereafter,
Tenant shall furnish such supplemental information as Landlord may reasonably
request concerning the proposed transferee.
15.3 LANDLORD'S ELECTION. At any time within fifteen (15) working days
after Landlord's receipt of the information specified above, Landlord may, by
written notice to Tenant, elect to (i) consent to the Transfer, or (ii)
reasonably disapprove of the Transfer, setting forth in writing Landlord's
grounds for doing so. Such grounds for disapproval may include, without
limitation, nonsuitability of the proposed use for the Premises and/or the
Building, violation of Landlord's third-party agreements, including loan
documents and non-competition covenants of Landlord respecting radius,
locations, use or exclusivity in any other lease, financing agreement or other
agreement relating to the Building or Landlord's other buildings in the
immediate area, need for alteration of the Premises, an inappropriate use in
light of the Building's existing tenant mix, a material increase in the impact
upon the Common Areas or the parking facilities, a material increase in the
demands upon utilities and services, the proposed use of the Premises conflicts
with Tenant's use clause, a possible material adverse effect upon the reputation
of the Premises or the Building from the nature of the business to be conducted,
or a reputation for financial reliability on the part of the proposed transferee
which is unsatisfactory in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, that Tenant is
in default of its obligations under this Lease or that Landlord has not received
assurances acceptable to Landlord that all past due amounts owing from Tenant to
Landlord will be paid and all other defaults by Tenant will be cured prior to
the effective date of the proposed Transfer. If Landlord consents to the
Transfer within the fifteen (15) day period, Tenant may thereafter enter into
such transfer agreement upon the terms and conditions and as of the effective
date set forth in the information furnished by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord
consents to the Transfer and Tenant does not consummate the Transfer within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's decision, the provisions of this
Article 15 shall once again apply. *See Addendum
15.4 ASSUMPTION OF LEASE OBLIGATIONS. Each permitted transferee, other
than Landlord, shall assume and be deemed to have assumed this Lease and shall
be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of Rent
and for the due performance or satisfaction of all of the provisions, covenants,
conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed or
satisfied. No Transfer shall be binding on Landlord unless such transferee or
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart original of the instrument
evidencing such Transfer which contains a covenant of assumption by the
transferee, but the failure or refusal of the transferee to execute such
instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the transferee or the
Tenant from its liability as set forth herein. Any permitted Transfer shall not,
in any way, affect or limit the liability of Tenant under the terms of this
Lease, even if after such Transfer the terms of this Lease are materially
changed or altered without the consent of Tenant, the consent of whom shall not
be necessary.
15.5 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING TRANSFERS. Landlord may accept Rent
from any person other than Tenant, pending approval or disapproval of a
Transfer. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such Transfer, nor
the acceptance of Rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord's
right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions
of this Article 15 or this Lease. If Tenant's obligations under this Lease have
been guaranteed by third parties, then any Transfer, and Landlord's consent
thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their
29
written consent to such Transfer. Furthermore, Landlord may consent to
subsequent Transfers or any amendments or modifications thereto without
notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease, and without obtaining their
consent, and such action shall not release such persons from liability under
this Lease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any
such amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the
Tenant or transferee under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any
guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of this Lease,
including the transferee, without first exhausting Landlord's remedies against
any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security
held by Landlord or Tenant. Landlord's written consent to any Transfer by Tenant
shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Event of Default then exists
under this Lease, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing
Event of Default, except as may be otherwise acknowledged by Landlord at that
time. The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by
Landlord in giving its consent to a Transfer was materially false shall, at
Landlord's election, render Landlord's consent null and void. Any sums or other
economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of a transfer, however
denominated, which exceed, in the aggregate, (i) the total sums which Tenant is
obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations
allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), plus (ii) the unamortized
value of leasehold improvements to the Premises paid for by Tenant, depreciated
on a straight-line basis over the Term, shall be paid to Landlord as Additional
Rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing ,my other obligations of
Tenant hereunder. In the event of any approved Transfer of this Lease in
connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant
used in connection with the conduct of Tenant's business on the Premises, the
amount of consideration attributable to the Transfer of the Lease shall be
reasonably determined by Landlord.
15.5.1 Tenant shall only use such form of assignment as is provided by
Landlord, and once the completed assignment form has been approved by Landlord,
such assignment shall not be changed or modified without Landlord's prior
written consent.
15.6 SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING SUBLETTING. Regardless of Landlord's
consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by
Tenant of all or any part of the Premises, and shall be deemed included in all
subleases under this Lease, whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
15.6.1 Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as
security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all Rent from any subletting
of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease, and Landlord, as
assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed
on Landlord's application, may collect such Rent and apply it toward Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an Event of
Default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such Rent. Tenant
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of
written notice from Landlord stating that an Event of Default exists, to pay to
Landlord the Rents due and to become due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that
such sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request
from Landlord, and that such sublessee shall pay such Rents to Landlord without
any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists, and
30
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant
shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Landlord for any such
Rents so paid by said sublessee to Landlord.
15.6.2 Tenant shall use only such form of sublease as is provided by
Landlord, and once the completed sublease form has been approved by Landlord,
the sublease shall not be changed or modified without Landlord's prior written
consent.
15.6.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under this
Lease, Landlord, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require
any sublessee to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the
obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said
option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall
not be liable for any prepaid Rent or Security Deposit paid by such sublessee to
Tenant, or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease.
15.6.4 With respect to any subletting to which Landlord has consented,
Landlord agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Tenant to the
sublessee.
15.7 NO MERGER. No merger shall result from Tenant's sublease of the
Premises under this Article 15, Tenant's surrender of this Lease, or the
termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may
terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as
sublandlord thereunder.
15.8 CONDITIONS DEEMED REASONABLE. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
each of the rights of Landlord set forth in this Article 15 above in the event
of a proposed Transfer is a reasonable restriction on transfer for purposes of
California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
15.9 TENANT'S REMEDY. *SEE ADDENDUM
ARTICLE 16 - DEFAULT
16.1 COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Tenant's performance of each of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant. Tenant's
right to continue in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such
performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and
conditions.
16.2 DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
(~Event of Default") shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by
Tenant: (i) use of the Premises for any purpose other than the Permitted Use;
(ii) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Minimum Monthly Rent,
Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as
and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of ________ after
written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such
notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; (iii) Tenant's abandonment of
the Premises as defined in California Civil Code Section 1951.3; (iv) Transfer
of the Lease by
31
Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment,
execution, death or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord;

ARTICLE 17 - REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
17.1 Landlord Remedies. Landlord shall have the following remedies upon
the occurrence of an r Event of Default. These remedies are not exclusive; they
are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or
without notice or demand (except for any notice required by Article 16 above)
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which
Landlord may have by reason of such Event of Default, do any of the following
17.1.1 Continue this Lease in effect so long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant's right to possession and Landlord may enforce all of its
rights and remedies hereunder, including, at the option of Landlord: (i) the
right to declare the Term ended and with process of law to re-enter the Premises
and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall
have no further claim thereon or thereunder; or (ii) the right, without
declaring this Lease ended and with or without process of law, to re-enter the
Premises, take posession thereof, remove all persons therefrom and occupy or
lease the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant and upon such
terms and conditions and for such Rent as Landlord may deem proper and to
collect said Rent or any other Rent that may thereafter become payable and apply
the same toward the amount due or thereafter to become due from Tenant and on
account of such expenses of such subletting and any other damages sustained by
Landlord; and should such Rent be less than that herein agreed to be paid by
Tenant,
32
Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord in advance on the day of each
month hereinabove specified for payment of Rent and to pay to Landlord forthwith
upon such reletting the costs and expenses Landlord may incur by reason thereof;
or (iii) the right, even though it may have relet said Premises or brought an
action to collect Rent and other charges without terminating this Lease, to
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or
to the Premises or (iv) the right, without terminating this Lease, to bring an
action or actions to collect Rent and other charges hereunder which are from
time to time past due and unpaid; it being understood that the bringing of such
an action or actions shall not terminate this Lease unless notice of termination
is given.
17.1.2 Should Landlord relet the Premises under the provisions of
paragraph 17.1.1 (ii) above, it may execute any such Lease in its own name or in
the name of Tenant, but Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority
whatever to collect any Rent from such tenant. The proceeds of any such
reletting shall be first applied to the payment of the costs and expenses of
reletting the Premises, including alterations and repairs which Landlord, in its
sole discretion, deems reasonably necessary and advisable and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the retaking of said
Premises and such reletting and, second, to the payment of any indebtedness,
other than Rent, due hereunder, including, without limitation, storage charges
or brokerage commissions Owing from Tenant to Landlord. When such costs and
expenses of reletting have been paid, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for
the net amount of Rent received from such reletting each month during such
unexpired balance of the Term and Tenant shall pay Landlord such sums as may be
required to make up the Rent provided for in this Lease. Landlord shall not be
deemed to have terminated this Lease, the Tenant's right to possession of the
leasehold or the liability of Tenant to pay Rent thereafter to accrue or its
liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof by a~y such reentry or
by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the
Premises, unless Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing that it has so
elected to terminate this Lease. Tenant covenants that the service by Landlord
of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State of
California and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not
(unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of or at any time subsequent
to the service of such notice and such election be evidenced by a written notice
to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to
possession thereof. Nothing herein contained ;hall be construed as obligating
Landlord to relet the whole or any part of the Premises.
17.1.3 Landlord can terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises at any time. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the
appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:
(i) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid Rent that had been earned
at the time of termination of this Lease; (ii) the worth, at the time of the
award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after
the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount
of the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoid d; (iii)
the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for
the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss
of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any
other amount, including court costs and attorney's fees, necessary to compensate
Landlord for all
33
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default or defaults, or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely lo result therefrom, including, but
not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking
possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys' fees therefore, (b)
maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, (c) preparing the
Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the
Premises for such reletting, (d) leasing commissions, or (e) any other costs
necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises.
"The worth, at the time of award," as used in (i) and (ii) of this Section,
is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum legal rate. "The worth, at
the time of the award," as referred to in (iii) of this Section, is to be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%.
17.1.4 Whenever Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in
this Article, Landlord may remove any property of Tenant from the Premises and
store same elsewhere at the e~pense and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant
shall fail to pay the cost of storing of such property after it has been stored
for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all of such
property, in any lawful manner. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, all of Tenant's fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements,
additions, alterations and other personal property shall remain on the Premises,
and in that event, and continuing during the length of said default, Landlord
shall have the right to take the exclusive possession of said and to use same,
Rent or charge fee, until all defaults are cured or, at its option, at any time
during the Term, to require Tenant to forthwith remove same.
17.1.5 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have
the right to have a receiver appointed to collect Rent and conduct Tenant's
business. Tenant also hereby agrees that Landlord shall have a lien for payment
for all Rent and Additional Rent called for under the terms of this Lease upon
all the furniture, furnishings, fixtures, supplies and all other personal
property of Tenant which may be in or upon the Premises, Tenant hereby
specifically waiving any and all exemptions allowed by law. Such lien may be
enforced in any lawful manner, at the option of Landlord. Neither the filing of
a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall
constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
17.1.6 Landlord, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, can cure the default at Tenant's cost. If Landlord at any time, by
reason of an Event of Default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the
payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from
Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date
shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by
Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.
17.1.7 Nothing in this Article 17 affects the right of the Landlord
under this Lease to indemnification for liability arising prior to the
termination of the Lease for personal injuries or property damage, as set forth
under Article 7 hereof.

20.1 LEGAL COSTS. If either party incurs any costs or expenses in
connection with any action instituted by either party by reason of any dispute

provisions of Exhibit F. *SEE ADDENDUM
ARTICLE 22 - LANDLORD'S BREACH - NOTICE
If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained
in this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
Tenant specifying such failure (or if such failure cannot reasonably be cured
within 30 days, if Landlord does not commence to cure the failure within that
30-day period), then such failure shall constitute a default hereunder and
Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a
result of Landlord's default; provided, however, it is expressly understood and
agreed that if Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord resulting from
any default or other claim arising under this Lease, judgment shall be satisfied
only out of the rents, issues, profits and other income actually received on
account of Landlord's right, title and interest in the Premises or Building, and
no other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord
39
(or of the officers, shareholders, directors, partners or principals of
Landlord, if any) wherever situated, shall be subject to levy, attachment or
execution, or otherwise used to satisfy any such judgment. Tenant hereby waives
any right to satisfy a judgment against Landlord except from the rents, issues,
profits and other income actually received on account of Landlord's right, title
and interest in the Premises or Building. Tenant shall not have the right to
terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any
payments of Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease, except
as otherwise specifically provided herein.
Tenant agrees to send, by certified or registered mail to any mortgagee or
deed of trust beneficiary of the Building whose address has been furnished to
Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant on Landlord. If
Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease,
such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure
such default; provided that if such default cannot reasonably cured within
that thirty (30) day period, then such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such
additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary under the
circumstances.
ARTICLE 23 - LATE CHARGES
Tenant's failure to pay Rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur
unanticipated costs, the exact amount of which are impractical or extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the property.
Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent payment, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100), or
ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate at the date of this Lease of the
administrative costs Landlord shall incur by reason of such late payment. In
addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon written notice thereof, all costs
incurred by Landlord for attorneys' fees in connection with the collection of
such Minimum Monthly Rent or Additional Rent. *See Addendum
Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, Tenant hereby
agrees that if it fails to pay Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or any
other monetary obligation which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease when
due, for any two (2) consecutive months, or for any three (3) months in a
calendar year, Minimum Monthly Rent for the remaining Term shall automatically
be adjusted to be quarterly Rent, payable in advance, by cashier's check,
commencing upon the first day of the month following such consecutive late
month, or the third late month in a calendar year, and continuing thereafter for
the remaining Term. Time is strictly of the essence with respect to the
provisions of this paragraph.
ARTICLE 24 - INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS
Any and all amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord which are not paid when due
shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date
of such amount ("Interest Rate"). However, interest shall not be payable on late
charges incurred by Tenant. The payment
40
of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under
this Lease. If the Interest Rate is higher than the rate permitted by law, the
Interest Rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate an
individual is permitted to charge by law.
ARTICLE 25 - BUILDING PLANNING
Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such
easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable,
and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by the Tenant. Tenant shall sign any of
the aforementioned documents upon request of Landlord. If Tenant fails to do so
within ten ( 10) days after written request, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes

document.

the address set forth in Section 1.9 above. Either party may change its notice
address upon written notice to the other party, except that Landlord may in any
event use the Premises as Tenant's address for notice purposes after the
Commencement Date. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to
Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at
such addresses as Landlord may, from time to time, hereafter designate by notice
to Tenant.
ARTICLE 27 - MODIFICATION FOR LENDER
If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or permanent
financing or refinancing for the Building, Landlord's lender shall request
reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant
will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided
that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or
materially and adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or
Tenant's rights hereunder.
ARTICLE 28 - CORPORATE AUTHORITY; PARTNERSHIP AUTHORITY

war, invasion, acts of a public enemy, governmental preemption in connection
with a national emergency, riot, laws, rules, regulations or order of
governmental or military authorities, or failure or defect in the supply,
quantity or character of utilities furnished to the Building or Premises
(collectively "Force Majeure Event"), excluding from all the foregoing,
financial inability.
ARTICLE 30 - BROKERS
The parties recognize that the brokers who negotiated this Lease are the
brokers whose names are stated in Section 1.13 of the Fundamental Lease
Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be solely responsible for the payment

time the particular rental under consideration was agreed upon and became or is
to become effective, the extent of improvements and services to be provided and

Landlord shall use its best efforts to provide Tenant with its determination of
the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term within thirty (30) days of its
receipt of a timely Option Notice from Tenant ("Landlord's Determination").
Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days ("Tenant's Review Period") after receipt of
Landlord's Determination within which to accept Landlord's Determination or to
reasonably object thereto in writing. In the event Tenant fails to object to
Landlord's Determination in writing within such fifteen (15) day period,
Landlord's Determination shall be deemed accepted. If Tenant reasonably objects
to Landlord's Determination, the parties shall then have thirty (30) days (the
"Negotiating Period") after the expiration of Tenant's Review Period within
which to agree on new Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term. If the parties
agree on the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term within the Negotiating
Period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth

business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes Landlord and Tenant shall
agree upon and jointly appoint a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a
real estate broker who shall have been

active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in
the leasing of comparable office buildings. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
consult with such broker as to his or her opinion as to the Minimum Monthly Rent
for the Option Term prior to the appointment. The determination of the
arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or
Tenant's submitted Minimum Monthly Rent for the Premises is the closer to the
actual prevailing market rent for the Premises as determined by the arbitrator,
taking into account the requirements of this Section. Such arbitrator may hold
such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole
discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit
to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within five (5) business days
after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional
information that such party deems relevant to the determination of Minimum
Monthly Rent for the Option Term ("Market Rent Data") and the other party may
submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such
Market Rent Data.
If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and appoint an arbitrator, then the
appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the Presiding Judge of the San
Diego County Superior Court, or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge
having jurisdiction over the parties.
The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a
decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted
Minimum Monthly Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such
determination; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Section to
the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Minimum Monthly for the initial
year of the Option Term be less then the amount of the Minimum Monthly Rent
payable by Tenant for the calendar month immediately preceding the commencement
of the Option Term.
The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The
cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
If the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term shall not have been determined
by the commencement of the Option Term, Tenant shall continue to pay the Minimum
Monthly Rent payable as of the month immediately preceding such commencement
until the Minimum Monthly Rent is established so that the Minimum Monthly Rent
established for the Option Term shall be retroactive to the commencement of the
Option Term.
