(herein called "Lessor") and HELI-DYNE, INC., a California corporation (herein
called "Lessee").
2. PREMISES. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for
the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that
certain real property situated in the County of Los Angeles State of California
commonly known as 2508 Palm Drive, Signal Hill and described in Exhibit "A"

including the land and all improvements herein, is herein called "the Premises".
3. TERM.
3.1 TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for ten years commencing on
February 15, 1987 and ending on February 14, 1997 unless sooner terminated
pursuant to any provision hereof.
3.2 DELAY IN POSSESSION. Notwithstanding said commencement date, if
for any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on
said date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall
such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Lessee

See Sec. 3.2 of Rider
3.3 EARLY POSSESSION. See Sec. 3.3 of Rider
4. RENT. See Section 4 of Rider
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
$9,600.00 as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations
hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or
otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may
use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any
rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which
Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate
Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so
uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within ten
(10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount
sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated and
Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. If the
monthly rent shall, from time to time, increase during the term of this Lease,
Lessee shall thereupon deposit with Lessor additional security deposit so that
the amount of security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the same
proportion to current rent as the original security deposit bears to the
original monthly rent set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Lessor shall not be
required to keep said deposit separate from its general accounts. If Lessee
performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof
as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without
payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's
option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No
trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to
said Security Deposit.
6. USES.
6.1 USE. The Premises shall be used for any lawful purpose, subject
to the terms set forth in Sections 6.4 through 6.7 of Rider or any other use
which is reasonably comparable and for no other purpose.
6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in its state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to
alterations made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will use the Premises,
does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable
building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term
commencement date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has been
violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice
from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such
violation. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor written notice of the
violation of this warranty within six months from the date that the Lease term
commences, the correction of same shall be the obligation of the Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2(a) shall be
of no force or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was the owner
or occupant of the Premises, and, in such event, Lessee shall correct any such
violation at Lessee's sole cost.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements in effect during the term or any part of the term hereof,
regulating the use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall not use nor permit
the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a
nuisance or, if there shall be more than one tenant in the building containing
the Premises, shall tend to disturb such other tenants.
6.3 CONDITION OF PREMISES.
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free of
debris on Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in possession) and
Lessor further warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air
conditioning, heating, and loading doors in the Premises other than constructed
by Lessee shall be in good operating condition on the Lease commencement date.
In the event that it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then
it shall be the obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from
Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly,
at Lessor's sole cost, rectify such violation.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the Lease commencement
date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is
earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws,
ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises,
and any covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject
thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached
hereto. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made
any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.

7. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.
7.1 LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. Lessee shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the Premises and every part thereof, structural and non structural,
(whether or not such portion of the Premises requiring repair, or the means of
repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and whether
or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior
use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises) including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing, heating, air
conditioning, (Lessee shall procure and maintain, at Lessee's expense, an air
conditioning system maintenance contract) ventilating, electrical, lighting

equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise stated in the
Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power panels, electrical distribution
systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and
fencing on the premises in good operating condition.
7.3 LESSOR'S RIGHTS. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's
obligations under this Paragraph 7, or under any other paragraph of this Lease,
Lessor may at its option (but shall not be required to) enter upon the Premises
after ten (10) days prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an
emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations
on Lessee's behalf and put the same in good order, condition and repair and the
cost thereof together with interest thereon at the maximum rate then allowable
by law shall become due and payable as additional rental to Lessor together
with Lessee's next rental installment.
7.4 LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Except for the obligations of Lessor
under Paragraph 6.2(a) and 6.3(a) (relating to Lessor's warranty), Paragraph 9
(relating to destruction of the Premises) and under Paragraph 14 (relating to
condemnation of the Premises), it is intended by the parties hereto that Lessor
have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain the
Premises nor the building located thereon nor the equipment therein, whether
structural or non structural, all of which obligations are intended to be that
of the Lessee under Paragraph 7.1 hereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefit
of any statute now or hereinafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee
the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease
because of Lessor's failure to keep the premises in good order, condition and
repair.
7.5 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. See Section 6.4(c) of Rider.
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent
make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations in, on
or about the Premises, except for nonstructural alterations not exceeding
$2,500 in cumulative costs during the term of this Lease. In any event, whether
or not in excess of $2,500 in cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or
alteration to the exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the building(s)
on the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in this
Paragraph 7.5 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window
coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may
require that Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore
the Premises to their prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide
Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements,
to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens
and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations,
improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of
Lessor, Lessor may require that Lessee remove any or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
installations in, or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and
which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in
written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent,
the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so
from appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to
Lessor prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of
all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or
for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics'
or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee
shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement
of any work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall,
in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then
Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and
shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon
before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, upon the
condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety
bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or
demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the
Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may
require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in
such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
(d) Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in
Paragraph 7.5(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall become the
property of Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
expiration of the term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph
7.5(d), Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to
the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the
Premises, shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.2. See Paragraph 7.5(e) of Rider.
8. INSURANCE INDEMNITY.
8.1 INSURING PARTY. As used in this Paragraph 8, the term
"insuring party" shall mean the party who has the obligation to obtain the
Property Insurance required hereunder. The insuring party shall be designated
in Paragraph 46 hereof. In the event Lessor is the insuring party, Lessor
shall also maintain the liability insurance described in paragraph 8.2 hereof,
in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by
Lessee under said paragraph 8.2, but Lessor shall not be required to name
Lessee as an additional insured on such policy. Whether the insuring party is
the Lessor or the Lessee, Lessee shall, as additional rent for the Premises,
pay the cost of all insurance required hereunder, except for that portion of
the cost attributable to Lessor's liability insurance coverage in excess of
$1,000,000 per occurrence. If Lessor is the insuring party Lessee shall,
within ten (10) days following demand by Lessor, reimburse Lessor for the cost
of the insurance so obtained.
8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense obtain
and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single
Limit, Bodily Injury and Property Damage insurance insuring Lessor and Lessee
against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or
maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance
shall be a combined single limit policy in an amount not less than $500,000 per
occurrence. The policy shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity
provisions of this Paragraph 8. The limits of said insurance shall not,
however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE.
(a) The insuring party shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or
damage to the Premises, in the amount of the full replacement value thereof,
excluding Foundations footings and basements, as the same may exist from time
to time, which replacement value is now $1,000,000, but in no event less than
the total amount required by lenders having liens on the Premises, against all
perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage,
vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is required by a lender
having a lien on the Premises), and special extended perils ("all risk" as such
term is used in the insurance industry). Said insurance shall provide for
payment of loss thereunder to Lessor or to the holders of mortgages or deeds of
trust on the Premises. The insuring party shall, in addition, obtain and keep
in force during the term of this Lease a policy of rental value insurance
covering a period of one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance
shall also cover all real estate taxes and insurance costs for said period. A
stipulated value or agreed amount endorsement deleting the coinsurance
provision of the policy shall be procured with said insurance as well as an
automatic increase in insurance endorsement causing the increase in annual
property insurance coverage by 2% per quarter. If the insuring party shall
fail to procure and maintain said insurance the other party may, but shall not
be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Lessee.
If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall
not exceed $1,000 per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such
deductible amount.
(b) If the Premises are part of a larger building, or if the
Premises are part of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to
the Premises, then Lessee shall pay for any increase in the property insurance
of such other building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's
acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(c) If the Lessor is the insuring party the Lessor will not
insure Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements unless the tenant
improvements have become a part of the Premises under paragraph 7, hereof. But
if Lessee is the insuring party the Lessee shall insure its fixtures, equipment
and tenant improvements.
8.4 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide". The insuring
party shall deliver to the other party copies of policies of such insurance or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss
payable clauses as required by this paragraph 8. No such policy shall be
cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except
after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor. If Lessee is the
insuring party Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof, or Lessor
may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount
shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to be
done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in
Paragraph 8.3. If Lessee does or permits to be done anything which shall
increase the cost of the insurance policies referred to in Paragraph 8.3, then
Lessee shall forthwith upon Lessor's demand reimburse Lessor for any
additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Lessee
causing such increase in the cost of insurance. If Lessor is the insuring
party, and if the insurance policies maintained hereunder cover other
improvements in addition to the Premises, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a
written statement setting forth the amount of any such insurance cost increase
and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed.
8.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release
and relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the
other for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured
against under paragraph 8.3, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises,
whether due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,
contractors and/or invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier
or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in
this Lease.
8.6 INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor
from and against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises,
or from the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things
done, permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and
shall further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation
on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from
any negligence of the Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or
employees, and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon, and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessor by reason of any such claim. Lessee upon notice from Lessor
shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor.
Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all
risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the
Premises arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect
thereof against Lessor.
8.7 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of
income therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee. Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the
person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or contractors, whether such
damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas,
water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of
pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting
fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said damage or injury results
from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the
building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places and
regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of
repairing the same is inaccessible to Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for
any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the
building in which the Premises are located.

10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and
all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of
all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. See Section 12.1 of Rider.
12.2 LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignees assumes, in full, the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any
way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even
if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially
changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not
be necessary.
12.3 NO RELEASE OF LESSEE. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of
any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be
deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of
default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee.
Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees
INITIALS: /s/ [Illegible]
NET - 3 -
4
of Lessee without notifying Lessee or any successor of Lessee and without
obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee
of liability under this Lease.
12.4 ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet
the Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting
and Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes
to do then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorney's fees incurred in
connection therewith, such attorney's fees not to exceed $750 for each such
request.
13. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee.
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
See Paragraph 13.1(a) of Rider.
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due where
such failure shall continue for a period of three days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee in the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this subparagraph.
(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure
shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from Lessor
to Lessee, provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such
that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall
not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said 30-day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60
days); (iii) 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 30
days; or (iv) 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 30 days.
Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d) is
contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.
13.2 REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default or breach
by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises 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, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case
this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned
the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent
as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due
at the maximum rate then allowable by law.
13.3 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) 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 obligation; 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 30-day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 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, if 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, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. 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. In the
event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for
three (3) consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically
become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly,
notwithstanding paragraph 4 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary.
13.5 IMPOUNDS. In the event that a late charge is payable
hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any
other monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments
required under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same
time as the monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and
insurance expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms
of this Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due,
before delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance
premiums. If the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this
paragraph are insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such
real property taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums necessary to
pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be
intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the
event of a default in the obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease,
then any balance remaining from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of
this paragraph may, at the option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any
monetary default of Lessee in lieu of being applied to the payment of real
property tax and insurance premiums.
14. CONDEMNATION.
14.1 CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken
under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of
said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes
title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor
area of the building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the
Premises which is not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10)
days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in
the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be
reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the building taken bears to
the total floor area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of
rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have a building
located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises
under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the
exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award
shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for
the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee
shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures
and removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of
severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation,
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the
extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority.
Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to
complete such repair. See Paragraph 14 of Rider.
15. BROKER'S FEE. See Section 15 of Rider.
(c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor
but also on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity
having an ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when
such fee is due hereunder. Any transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease,
whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed
to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph 15. Said broker shall
be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 15.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
16.1 LESSEE'S CERTIFICATE (a) Lessee shall at any time upon not
less than ten (10) days' 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) At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be
INITIALS: /s/ [Illegible]
NET - 4 -
5
conclusive upon Lessee that (i) 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 or such failure may be considered by
Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the
Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or
purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include
the past three years' financial statements of Lessee. All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. See
Paragraph 16.2 of Rider.
17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Premises, and except as expressly provided in
Paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or interest Lessor
herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the grantor) shall
be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as
respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any
funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer,
in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The
obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject as
aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.
18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided,
any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum
rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall
not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease provided, however,
that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on
any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence.
21. ADDITIONAL RENT. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under
the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.
22. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No
prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be
effective.* This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties
in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in
this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker
listed in Paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor
the Lessor or any employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral
or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or
use by Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all
responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and
adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable
laws and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as
otherwise specifically stated in this Lease.
23. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and
if given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed
to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the
respective parties, as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the
other specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's
taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's
address for notice purposes.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder
by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any
provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent
so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the
time of acceptance of such rent.
25. RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.
26. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof,
such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions
of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all options and
rights of first refusal, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be
deemed terminated and be of no further effect during said month to month
tenancy.
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
at law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by
Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions hereof
restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the State wherein the Premises are located.
30. SUBORDINATION.
(a) This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to
any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. 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 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
recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure
to execute such documents within 30 days after written demand shall constitute
a material default by Lessee hereunder.
31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party or the broker named herein brings an
action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing
party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to his
reasonable attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the
court. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the
broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same,
showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making
such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale"
signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof
place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee. See Paragraph 32 of Rider.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first
having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any
standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without
Lessor's prior written consent except that Lessee shall have the right, without
the prior permission of Lessor to place ordinary and usual for rent or sublet
signs thereon.
35. MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to
Lessor of any or all of such subtenancies.
36. CONSENTS. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
37. GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Premises.
* except for the agreements between PER and each of the Brokers and that certain
Indemnity Agreement dated November 21, 1986 by and among PER, Lessee MBA, and
that certain letter of agreement dated 12/4/86 by and among PER, RPM and
LESSEE.

40. MULTIPLE TENANT BUILDING. In the event that the Premises are part of a
larger building or group of buildings then Lessee agrees that it will abide by,
keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from
time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the building
and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein
as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building.
The violations of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material
breach of this Lease by Lessee.
41. SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable
to Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents and
invitees from acts of third parties.
42. EASEMENTS. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to
grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor 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 Lessee. Lessee shall
sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to
do so shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. See Paragraph 42 of
Rider.
43. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right
on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.
44. AUTHORITY. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this
Lease, deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.
45. CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease
and the typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the
typewritten or handwritten provisions.
46. INSURING PARTY. The insuring party under this lease shall be the
Lessee.
47. Rider-Exhibits. Attached to this Lease is a Rider and Exhibits "A",
"B", "C", and D". Said Rider and Exhibits constitute a part of this Lease and
by this reference are incorporated in this Lease.
LESSOR AND LESSEE HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND REVIEWED THIS LEASE AND EACH TERM AND

GUARANTY OF LEASE [LOGO]
AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION
WHEREAS RPM INVESTMENTS, INC., a California corporation, hereinafter
referred to as "Lessor", and HELI-DYNE, INC., a California corporation,
hereinafter referred to as "Lessee", are about to execute a document entitled
"Lease" dated , 1986 concerning the premises commonly known as
2508 Palm Drive, Signal Hill, California wherein Lessor will lease the premises
to Lessee and
WHEREAS Mr. Jorge DeLaTorriente, and Mr. Lynn Carlson hereinafter
referred to as "Guarantors" have a financial interest in Lessee, and
WHEREAS Lessor would not execute the Lease if Guarantors did not
execute and deliver to Lessor this Guarantee of Lease.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the execution of the
foregoing Lease by Lessor and as a material inducement to Lessor to execute said
Lease, Guarantors hereby jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantee the prompt payment by Lessee of all rentals and all other sums payable
by Lessee under said Lease and the faithful and prompt performance by Lessee of
each and every one of the terms, conditions and covenants of said Lease to be
kept and performed by Lessee.
It is specifically agreed and understood that the terms of the foregoing
Lease may be altered, affected, modified or changed by agreement between Lessor
and Lessee, or by a course of conduct, and said Lease may be assigned by Lessor
or any assignee of Lessor without consent or notice to Guarantors and that this
Guaranty shall thereupon and thereafter guarantee the performance of said Lease
as so changed, modified, altered or assigned.
This Guaranty shall not be released, modified or affected by failure or
delay on the part of Lessor to enforce any of the rights or remedies of the
Lessor under said Lease, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or at law or in
equity.
No notice of default need be given to Guarantors, if being specifically
agreed and understood that the guarantee of the undersigned is a continuing
guarantee under which Lessor may proceed forthwith and immediately against
Lessee or against Guarantors following any breach or default by Lessee or for
the enforcement of any rights which Lessor may have as against Lessee pursuant
to or under the terms of the within Lease or at law or in equity.
Lessor shall have the right to proceed against Guarantors hereunder
following any breach or default by Lessee without first proceeding against
Lessee and without previous notice to or demand upon either Lessee or
Guarantors.
Guarantors hereby waive (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (b)
demand of payment, presentation and protest, (c) all right to assert or plead

Any married woman who signs this Guaranty expressly agrees that recourse
may be had against her separate property for all of her obligations hereunder.
The obligations of Lessee under the Lease to execute and deliver

Lessor in the foregoing Lease specifically named and also any assignee of said
Lessor, whether by outright assignment or by assignment for security, and also

any part thereof, whether by assignment or otherwise. So long as the Lessor's
interest in or to the leased premises or the rents, issues and profits
therefrom, or in, to or under said Lease, are subject to any mortgage or deed or
trust or assignment for security, no acquisition by Guarantors of the Lessor's
interest in the leased premises or under said Lease shall affect the continuing
obligation of Guarantors under this Guaranty which shall nevertheless continue
in full force and effect for the benefit of the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee
or assignee under such mortgage, deed of trust or assignment, or any purchase at
sale by judicial foreclosure or under private power of sale, and of the

hereunder to enforce the obligation of Guarantors hereunder, the unsuccessful
party in such action shall pay to the prevailing party therein a reasonable
attorney's fee which shall be issued by the court.
This guaranty, all acts and transactions hereunder and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted
according to the laws of the State of California. As part of the consideration
for Lessor's executing the Lease, Guarantor hereby agrees that all actions or
proceedings arising directly or indirectly hereunder may, at the option of the
Lessor, be litigated in Courts having situs within the state named in the
previous sentence, and Guarantor hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction
of any local, state or federal court located within said state, and consents
that service of process in such action or proceeding may be made by personal
service upon Guarantor wherever Guarantor may be then located, or by certified
or registered mail directed to Guarantor at his/its last known address.
Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor a written confirmation
of the continuation of this guaranty with respect to and following any
assignment of, or subletting under, the Lease.

2. PREMISES. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor
for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein,
that certain real property situated in the County of Los Angeles, State of
California, commonly known as Unit 9, 2508 Palm Drive, Signal Hill, CA 90807,

3. TERM.
3.1 TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for five years
commencing on February 15, 1987 and ending on February 14, 1992 unless sooner
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.
3.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Notwithstanding said commencement date,
if for any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on
said date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such
failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Lessee hereunder
or extend the term hereof, but in such case Lessee shall not be obligated to pay
rent until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee, provided, however,
that if Lessor shall not have delivered possession of the Premises within sixty
(60) days from said commencement date, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, by notice
in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in
which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder. If
Lessee occupies the Premises prior to said commencement date, such occupancy
shall be subject to all provisions hereof, such occupancy shall not advance the
termination date, and Lessee shall pay rent for such period at the initial
monthly rates set forth below.
4. RENT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises equal
monthly payments of $140.00, in advance, on the first day of each month of the
term hereof. Lessee shall pay Lessor upon the execution hereof $140.00 as rent
for February 15, 1986 through February 28, 1987. See Section 17 of this Lease
regarding Rent Escalation. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is

Lessor may designate in writing.
6. USE.
6.1 USE. The Premises shall be used for any lawful purpose and for
no other purpose.
6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in its existing
state, but without regard to the use for which Lessee will use the Premises,
does not violate any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance at the
time this Lease is executed. In the event it is determined that this warranty
has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written
notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any
such violation. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor written notice of
the violation of this warranty within 1 year from the commencement of the term
of this Lease, it shall be conclusively deemed that such violation did not exist
and the correction of the same shall be the obligation of the Lessee.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, restrictions of record, and requirements in effect
during the term or any part of the term hereof regulating the use by Lessee of
the Premises. Lessee shall not use nor permit the use of the Premises in any
manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance or, if there shall be more
than one tenant in the building containing the Premises, shall tend to disturb
such other tenants.
6.3 CONDITION OF PREMISES. Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a)
Lessee hereby accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the date of
the execution hereof, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and
state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the
Premises, and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed
thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that neither
Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation or warranty as to the
suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
7. MAINTENANCE REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.
7.1 LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
6.2(a) and 9 and except for damage caused by any negligent or intentional act or
omission of Lessee, Lessee's agents, employees, or invitees in which event
Lessee shall repair the damage. Lessor, at Lessor's expense, shall keep in good
order, condition and repair the foundations, exterior walls and the exterior
roof of the Premises. Lessor shall have no obligation to make repairs under
this Paragraph 7.1 until a reasonable time after receipt of written notice of
the need for such repairs.
Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6.2(a), 7 and 9, Lessee/Lessor,
at Lessor's expense shall keep in good order, condition and repair the Premises
and every part thereof (whether or not the damaged portion of the Premises or
the means of repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessable to Lessee)
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing,
heating, airconditioning, ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and
equipment within the Premises, fixtures, interior walls and interior surface of

(c) On the last day of the term hereof or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as received, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall repair
any damage to the Premises occasioned by the removal of its trade fixtures,
furnishings and equipment pursuant to Paragraph 7.3(d), which repair shall
include the patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage.
7.3 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent
make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations in, on
or about the Premises, except for nonstructural alterations not exceeding $1,000
in cost. As used in this Paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall
mean bus ducting, power panels, wiring, fluorescent fixtures, space heaters,
conduits, airconditioning and plumbing. Lessor may require that Lessee remove
any or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
at the expiration of the term, and restore the Premises to their prior
condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor at Lessee's sole cost
and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the estimated cost of such improvements to insure Lessor against any
liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the
work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, Lessor may require that
Lessee remove any or all of such.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in, or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and
which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written
form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent the
consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from
appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor
prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall,
in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then
Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and
shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon
before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, upon the
condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety
bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or
demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the
Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may
require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
(d) Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in
Paragraph 7.3(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall become the
property of Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
expiration of the term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph
7.3(d), Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to
the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the
Premises, shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.2(c).
8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.
8.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense obtain
and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single
Limit, Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance insuring Lessor and Lessee
against any liability arising out of the ownership use, occupancy or maintenance
of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be a
combined single limit policy in an amount not less than $500,000. The policy
shall contain cross liability endorsements and shall insure performance by
Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this Paragraph 8. The limits of said
insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder. In the
event that the Premises constitute a part of a larger property said insurance
shall have a Lessor's Protective Liability endorsement attached thereto. If
Lessee shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance Lessor may, but shall
not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Lessee.
Not more frequently than each 5 years, if, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor,
the amount of liability insurance required hereunder is not adequate, Lessee
shall increase said insurance coverage as required by Lessor. Provided, however
that in no event shall the amount of the liability insurance increase be more
than fifty percent greater than the amount thereof during the preceding five
years of the term of this lease. However, the failure of Lessor to require any
additional insurance coverage shall not be deemed to relieve Lessee from any
obligations under this Lease.
8.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE.
(a) Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the term of
this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the
Premises, but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements in the
amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against all
perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism,
malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk) but not plate glass
insurance. In addition, the Lessor shall obtain and keep in force, during the
term of this Lease, a policy of rental income insurance covering a period of six
months, with loss payable to Lessor which insurance shall also cover all real
estate taxes and insurance costs for said period. In the event that the
Premises contains sprinklers then the insurance coverage shall include sprinkler
leakage insurance.
8.3 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of B plus or better as set
forth in the most current issue of "Best Insurance Guide". Lessee shall deliver
to Lessor copies of policies of liability insurance required under Paragraph 8.1
or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss
payable clauses satisfactory to Lessor. No such policy shall be cancellable or
subject to coverage or other modification except after ten (10) days prior
written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, within ten (10) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof
or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which
amount shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to
be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in
Paragraph 8.2.
8.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby waives any
and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the officers,
employees, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to
such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control,
where such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy in force
at the time of such loss or damage. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier
or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver or subrogation is contained in this
Lease.
8.5 INDEMNITY. Lessor shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from
and against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises or from
the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done,
permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims
arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on
Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any
negligence of the Lessee or any of Lessee's agents, contractors or employees,
and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought
thereon and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason
of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at
Lessee's expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material part
of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises arising from any cause and
Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
8.6 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or
neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises are
located.
9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
9.1 PARTIAL DAMAGE-INSURED. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 9.3 and 9.4, if the Premises are damaged and such damage was caused
by a casualty covered under an insurance policy required to be maintained
pursuant to Paragraph 8.2, Lessor shall at Lessor's expense repair such damage
as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect but Lessor shall not repair or replace Lessee's fixtures, equipment or
tenant improvements.
9.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE-UNINSURED. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 9.3 and 9.4, if at any time during the term hereof the Premises are
damaged, except by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee
shall make the repairs, at its expense) and such damage was caused by a casualty
not covered under an insurance policy required to be maintained by Lessor
pursuant to Paragraph 8.2, Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i) repair such
damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect or (ii) give written notice to
Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damage
of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the
occurrence of such damage in the event Lessor elects to give such notice of
Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease. Lessee shall have the
right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give written
notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention to repair such damage at Lessee's expense
without reimbursement from Lessor, in which event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect and Lessee shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as
reasonably possible. If Lessee does not give such notice within such 10-day
period this lease shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date of the
occurrence of such damage.

[ILLEGIBLE]
insurance required to be maintained by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 8.2
(including any total destruction required by any authorized public authority)
this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total
destruction.
9.4 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If the Premises are partially
destroyed or damaged during the last six months of the term of this Lease,
Lessor may, at Lessor's option, cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date
of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
option to do so within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
9.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT: LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) If the Premises are partially destroyed or damaged and
Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores them pursuant to the provisions of this
Paragraph 9, the rent payable hereunder for the period during which such
damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in proportion to the
degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired. 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.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence such
repair or restoration within 90 days after such obligations shall accrue,
Lessee may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor
written notice of Lessee's election to do so at any time prior to the
commencement of such repair or restoration, in such event this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such notice.
9.6 TERMINATION -- ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this
Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made
concerning advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor.
Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security
deposit as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor.
9.7 WAIVER. Lessee waives the provisions of California Civil Code
Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) which relate to termination of leases when the
thing leased is destroyed and agrees that such event shall be governed by the
terms of this Lease.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 PAYMENT OF TAX. Lessor shall pay all real property taxes
applicable to the Premises.
10.2 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY" TAX. As used herein, the term
"real property tax" shall include any form of assessment, license fee,
commercial rental tax, levy, penalty, or tax (other than inheritance or estate
taxes), imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax,
including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school,
agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as
against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or in the real
property of which the Premises are a part, as against Lessor's right to rent or
other income therefrom, or as against Lessor's business of leasing the Premises
or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously
included within the definition of real property tax, or any additional tax the
nature of which was previously included within the definition of real property
tax.
10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and
all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed
with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to
Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the
taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of
all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which [SEE RIDER]. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent
shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.
12.2 LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which is solely owned by Lessee,
provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Lessee under
this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the
liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment
or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without
the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3 NO RELEASE OF LESSEE. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of
any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be
deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of
default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee.
Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without
notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or
their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability
under this Lease.
12.4 ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $750.00 for each such request.
13. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of three days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee.
(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure
shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice hereof from Lessor
to Lessee, provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such
that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee
shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said
30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement for the
benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Lessee of a petition to
have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or 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 60 days); (iii) 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 30 days, or (iv) 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 30 days.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.
13.2 REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default or breach
by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises 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, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's
fees, and any real estate commission actually paid, the worth at the time of
award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor
pursuant to Paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent
as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.
13.3 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) 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 obligation,
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 30-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 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, if 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 6% of
such overdue amount. The
EXHIBIT "C" Initials: ______
PAGE 3 OF 6
GROSS -3- ______
12
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payments. 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 to prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation") this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the
improvements on the premises of more than 25% of the land area of the Premises
which is not occupied by any improvements is taken by condemnation, Lessee may
at Lessee's option to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice within ten (10) days after condemning authority shall have taken
possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes
such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with
the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
portion of the Premises remaining except that the rent shall be reduced in the
proportion that the floor area taken bears to the total floor area of the
building situated on the Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part
of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under the
threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor whether
such award shall be made as compensation to diminution in value of the
leasehold or for the taking of the fee or as severance damages provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to an award for loss or damage to
Lessee's trade fixtures and removable personal property. In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the
extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such
condemnation repay any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation
except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning
authority Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages
required to complete such repair.
16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
16.1 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days'
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 or such failure may be considered by
Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance or refinance the Premises, 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.
16.2 LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall
mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a
lessee's interest in a ground lease of the Premises, and except as expressly
provided in Paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or
interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers the
then grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided
that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.
The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall,
subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only
during their respective periods of ownership.
16.3 SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
16.4. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein
provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at 10%
per annum from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure
any default by Lessee under this Lease, provided, however, that interest shall
not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any amounts upon which
late charges are paid by Lessee.
16.5 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence.
16.6 CAPTIONS. Article and paragraph captions are not a part hereof.
16.7 INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS, AMENDMENTS. This Lease
contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned
herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter
shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only signed by the
parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise
stated in this Lease Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate
broker listed in Paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this
transaction nor the Lessor on any employees or agents of any of said persons
has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative
to the condition or use by Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that
Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act,
the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with
all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease
except as otherwise specifically stated in this Lease.
16.8 NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by
certified mail and if given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently
given if addressed to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the
signature of the respective parties as the case may be. Either party may by
notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except that
upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or
permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to
such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.
16.9 WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be
deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by
Lessee of the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to or approval of
any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of
any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular
rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent.
16.10 RECORDING. Lessee shall not record this Lease without Lessor's
prior written consent, and such recordation shall, at the option of Lessor,
constitute a non-curable default of Lessee hereunder. Either party shall,
upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a
"short form" memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.
16.11 HOLDING OVER. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises
or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof without the express
written consent of Lessor, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month
at a rental in the amount of the last monthly rental plus all other charges
payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to a month-to-month
tenancy.
16.12 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be
deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other
remedies at law or in equity.
16.13. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease
performable by Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
16.14 BINDING EFFECT, CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions
hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 16.2, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the State of California.
16.15 SUBORDINATION.
(a) This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security
now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part
and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. 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 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
recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate such
subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage deed of
trust or ground lease, as the case may be, and failing to do so within ten (10)
days after written demand, does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint
Lessor as Lessee's attorney in fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to do
so.
16.16 ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party or the broker named herein
brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder the
prevailing party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to
his reasonable attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the
court. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the
broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
16.17 LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the
right to enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting
the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or lessees, and
making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or
to the building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or
desirable. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the
term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all
without rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.

16.19 MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee
or a mutual cancellation thereof or a termination by Lessor shall not work a
merger and shall at the option of Lessor terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may at the option of Lessor operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
16.20 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 a duly adopted resolution of the Board of
Directors of said corporation or in accordance with the Bylaws 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.
16.21 CONSENTS. Wherever in this Lease, other than Paragraph 12, the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld
16.22 GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease,
said guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under Paragraphs 16.1
and 16.20 of this Lease.
16.23 QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the fixed rent reserved
hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and
provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall
have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all
of the provisions of this Lease.
16.24 OPTIONS. In the event that the Lessee, under the terms of this
Lease, has any option to extend the term of this Lease, or any option to
purchase the premises or any right of first refusal to purchase the premises or
other property of Lessor, then each of such options and rights are personal to
Lessee and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by
or to any one other than Lessee except that it may be exercised by or assigned
to any of the entities described in paragraph 12.2 hereof for whom Lessee does
not need the consent of Lessor to assign this Lease. In the event that Lessee
hereunder has any multiple options to extend this Lease a later option to extend
the lease cannot be exercised unless the prior option has been so exercised. No
option may be exercised at a time when the Lessee is in default under its
obligations under this Lease.
16.25 MULTIPLE TENANT BUILDING. In the event that the Premises are part
of a larger building or group of buildings then Lessee agrees that it will abide
by, keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make
from time to time for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the
building and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order
therein as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the
building. Further, Lessee will promptly pay its prorata share, as reasonably
determined by Lessor, of any maintenance or repair of such portion of the
Premises or such portion of the property of which the Premises are a part, which
are common areas or used by Lessee and other occupants thereof. The violations
of any such rules and regulations, or the failure to pay such prorata share of
costs, shall be deemed a material breach of this Lease by Lessee.
16.26 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Attached hereto is an addendum containing
Section 17 which constitutes a part of this Lease.
The parties hereto have executed this Lease at the place and on the
dates specified immediately adjacent to their respective signatures.
If this Lease has been filled in it has been prepared for submission to
your attorney for his approval. No representation or recommendation is made by
the real estate broker or its agents or employees as to the legal sufficiency,
legal effect, or tax consequences of this Lease or the transaction relating
thereto.

ADDENDUM TO
STANDARD INDUSTRIAL LEASE
Dated October
By and Between HELI-DYNE, INC., a California corporation,
as Lessor and RICHARD YOUNG, as Lessee
17. RENT ESCALATIONS
(a) On August 1, 1989, only the monthly rent payable under paragraph 4
of the attached Lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if any, from the date
this Lease commenced, in the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California (1967=100). "All Items",
herein referred to as "C.P.I."
(b) The monthly rent payable in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
Addendum shall be calculated as follows: the rent payable for the first month of
the term of this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 4 of the attached Lease, shall
be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the
calendar month during which the adjustment is to take effect, and the
denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in which the
original Lease term commences. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new
monthly rent hereunder, but in no event, shall such new monthly rent be less
than the rent payable for the month immediately preceding the date for rent
adjustment.
(c) Pending receipt of the required C.P.I. and determination of the
actual adjustment, Lessee shall pay an estimated adjusted rental, as reasonably
determined by Lessor by reference to the then available C.P.I. information.
Upon notification of the actual adjustment after publication of the required
C.P.I., any overpayment shall be credited against the next installment of rent
due, and any underpayment shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee.
Lessor's failure to request payment of an estimated or actual rent [ILLEGIBLE]
adjustment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to any adjustment
provided for in the Lease or this addendum.
(d) In the event the compilation and/or publication of the C.P.I. shall
be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or agency or shall
be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the C.P.I. shall be used
to make such calculation. In the event that Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on
such alternative index, then the matter shall be submitted for decision to the
American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the
parties. The cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and
Lessee.
(e) In no event shall the monthly rent calculated pursuant to the terms
of this Section 17 be less than 1.0768 times greater, nor more than 1.213 times
greater than the monthly rent payable for the month immediately preceding the
date for rent adjustment.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
$________________________ ________________, 19___
Original Principal Amount Los Angeles, California
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HELI-DYNE, INC., a California corporation
("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of ___________, a
____________________ ("Lender"), or order, at such place as the holder of this
Secured Promissory Note (this "Note") may from time to time designate, the
principal sum of $_______________ plus Stated Interest as provided below.
1. Commencing on the date of this Note, the unpaid principal
balance from time to time outstanding under this Note, shall bear stated
interest ("Stated Interest") at an annual rate equal to the commercial loan
rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.T. & S.A., at its Los
Angeles main Office as its "Reference Rate", or any comparable successor rate
set by the Bank of America or by any successor to Bank of America, plus 2% (the
"Stated Rate"). The Stated Rate that shall be in effect for the first three
calendar years of the term of this Note shall be computed based on the
Reference Rate on the date that Borrower gives notice of Borrower's intention
to exercise the option granted to Borrower under Paragraph 50 of that certain
Standard Industrial Lease--Net dated as of November 26, 1996 by and between RPM
INVESTMENTS, INC., a California corporation as Lessor, and Borrower, as Lessee.
The Stated Rate under this Note shall be adjusted on the first day of the
fourth calendar year dating from the date of this Note and on the first day of
every third calendar year thereafter during the term of this Note based on the
Reference Rate on each such adjustment date. Any adjusted interest rate so
calculated shall stay in effect until the next adjustment date. Stated
Interest shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed divided by a
360-day year.
2. Stated Interest shall be due and payable in monthly
installments, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the
date of this Note, and continuing on the first day of each calendar month
thereafter until the date which is 15 calendar years from the date of this Note
(the "Maturity Date"), at which time the entire amount of principal and any
accrued but unpaid Stated Interest and all other sums due under this Note shall
be paid in full.
3. Borrower agrees that Lender may, without notice to Borrower
and without affecting the liability of the Borrower, accept additional or
substitute security for this Note, or release any security or any party liable
for this Note, including any guarantor of this Note, or extend or renew this
Note.
4. Borrower shall have the right to prepay in whole or in part
the principal balance of this Note together with any unpaid Stated Interest
accrued thereon, from time to time prior to the Maturity Date.
ATTACHMENT II
to
EXHIBIT "D"

5. This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust and Assignment of
Rents (the "Deed of Trust") covering the real property located in the City of
Signal Hill, County of Los Angeles, State of California, and legally described
therein (the "Property"), an Assignment of Rents, Income and Profits covering
the Property (the "Assignment of Rents"), a Continuing Guaranty (the
"Guaranty") all dated of even date herewith and executed by the Borrower in
favor of Lender (collectively, the "Loan Documents"). The Deed of Trust
contains, among other things, the following provision:
"In order to induce Beneficiary to make the loan secured
hereby, Trustor agrees that, in the event of any transfer of the Trust
Estate without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Beneficiary
shall have the absolute right at its option, without prior demand or
notice, to declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and
payable. Consent to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive
transactions. Beneficiary may grant or deny such consent in its sole
discretion and, if consent should be given, any such transfer shall be
subject to this Deed of Trust, and any such transferee shall assume
all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions
contained herein. Such assumption shall not, however, release Trustor
or any maker or guarantor of the Note from any liability thereunder
without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. As used herein,
"transfer" includes the sale, agreement to sell, transfer or
conveyance of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof or interest
therein, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or
otherwise, the execution of any installment land sale contract or
similar instrument affecting all or a portion of the Trust Estate, or
the lease of all or substantially all of the Trust Estate. "Transfer"
shall also include the transfer, assignment or conveyance of legal or
beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the voting stock of Trustor.
"Transfer" shall not include the leasing of individual office or
commercial units or other rentable area on the Premises".
6. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment of Stated Interest
or principal, including the payment due upon the Maturity Date, within 10 days
after the date the same is due and payable, a late charge shall be immediately
due and payable. Borrower recognizes that default in making the payments herein
agreed to be paid when due will result in the holder of this Note incurring
additional expense in servicing the Loan, in loss to the holder of the use of
the money due,
ATTACHMENT II
to
EXHIBIT "D"
2
18
and in frustration to the holder in meeting its other commitments. Borrower
agrees that, if for any reason, it fails to pay any such Stated Interest or
principal amounts due under this Note within 10 days after the date when due,
holder shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused thereby, but that
it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the amount of such
damages. Borrower therefore agrees to pay, in addition to the other interest
provided on this Note, a sum equal to five cents for each one dollar of each
such delinquent payment, as a reasonable estimate of the damages to the holder,
which sum Borrower agrees to pay on demand.
7. All amounts payable under this Note are payable in lawful
money of the United States. Checks shall constitute payment only when
collected, provided that receipt of a check which is in fact collected shall be
deemed to constitute payment upon receipt of the check. All payments on this
Note shall be applied first to interest and then to principal.
8. Upon any default under this Note, under the Loan Documents, or
any other instrument or agreement securing this Note, after the expiration of
any applicable cure period expressly described therein, Lender may, at its
option and without notice, declare the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note
together with all accrued Stated Interest immediately due and payable.
9. Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection when incurred,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees. If any suit or action is
instituted to enforce this Note, Borrower promises to pay, in addition to the
costs and disbursements otherwise allowed by law, such sum as the court may
adjudge as attorneys' fees in such suit or action.
10. Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors and all persons liable
or to become liable on this Note, waive presentment, protest and demand, notice
of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note and any and all other
notices or matters of a like nature, and consent to any and all renewals and
extensions of the time of payment of this Note. Such parties agree further
that, at any time and from time to time, without notice, the terms of payment
of this Note may be modified, or the security described in any documents at any
time securing this Note may be released in whole or in part, or increased,
changed or exchanged by agreement between the Lender and any owner of the real
or personal property or collateral affected by the Loan Documents securing this
Note, without in any way affecting the liability of any party to this Note or
any person liable or to become liable with respect to any indebtedness
evidenced by this Note.
11. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with California law.
12. All agreements between Borrower and Lender are expressly
limited, so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid
principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of
ATTACHMENT II
to
EXHIBIT "D"
3
19
the money to be advanced under this Note exceed the highest lawful rate
permissible under the applicable usury law.
13. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or
provisions of this Note as to any persons or circumstances shall not render
that provision or those provisions unenforceable or invalid as to any other
persons or circumstances, and all provisions of this Note, in all other
respects, shall remain valid and enforceable.
14. The terms of this Note shall apply to, inure to the benefit
of, and bind all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees,
administrators, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
Whenever used, the words "holder", "Lender", or "Borrower", shall be deemed to
include the respective heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of holder, Borrower and
Lender, as applicable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note as of the date
first above written.

FAIL TO CLOSE DUE TO BUYER'S DEFAULT. WITH THE FLUCTUATION IN LAND VALUES, THE
UNPREDICTABLE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE

HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES IS THE AMOUNT OF THE
DEPOSIT PLUS INTEREST ACCRUED ON THE DEPOSIT. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT IF
ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO BUYER'S DEFAULT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE
DEPOSIT AND THE ACCRUED INTEREST AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND ESCROW HOLDER
SHALL, UPON WRITTEN DEMAND FROM SELLER, TERMINATE THE ESCROW AND SHALL WITHOUT
FURTHER INSTRUCTION FROM EITHER PARTY PAY TO SELLER THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT
PLUS THE ACCRUED INTEREST.

RPM INVESTMENTS, INC., a California corporation, as Lessor, and
HELI-DYNE, INC., a California corporation, as Lessee
PARAGRAPH 3. TERM.
3.2 Delay in Possession. (Continued from printed text). However,
if Lessor has not delivered possession of the Premises within 60 days from said
commencement date, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, by notice in writing to
Lessor at any time thereafter, cancel this Lease effective 30 days after the
date of Lessee's Notice; and then this Lease shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect unless Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to
Lessee prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the notice.
3.3 Early Possession. Lessee shall have the right to occupy the
Premises upon execution of this Lease by both Lessor and Lessee. If Lessee
occupies the Premises prior to the commencement date of this Lease, such
occupancy shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease, provided,
however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to pay rent under this Lease until
February 15, 1987, and said early occupancy shall in no event advance the
termination date of this Lease.
PARAGRAPH 4. TENANT IMPROVEMENT BUDGET - RENT.
4.1 Tenant Improvement Budget. Upon execution of this Lease by
both Lessor and Lessee, Lessor shall pay to Lessee a tenant improvement
allowance in the sum of $100,000.
RIDER

41
Said sum is referred to herein as the "TI Budget." Tenant may use the TI Budget
exclusively for financing the design and construction of tenant improvements at
the Premises, including payment of architectural and interior design fees,
contractor fees, permit fees, and the costs of labor, materials and equipment;
provided, however, that in no event shall any portion of the TI Budget be used
to (i) pay for furniture or other moveable items of equipment and personal
property that will not become attached to the premises as fixtures; or (ii)
finance the cost of the work to be performed by Lessee pursuant to the terms
set forth in Paragraph 6.5 of this Lease or the work to be performed by Lessor
pursuant to the terms set forth in Paragraph 48 of this Lease.
4.2 Monthly Rent. Commencing with the first payment on February
15, 1987, and on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term
of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as rent for the Premises during such
calendar month, the following amounts (said amounts are referred to in this
Lease as "Monthly Rent"):
(a) $9,808.25; plus
(b) The sum of $330.38, which is the amount of the monthly
debt service on a fully amortized 10-year loan in the principal sum of $25,000
at 10% simple interest per annum. The portion of the Monthly Rental in excess
of $9808.25 is sometimes referred to in this Lease as the "Debt Service Rent."
4.3 Rent Escalations. On August 15, 1989, and every 30 months
thereafter during the term of this Lease (the "Adjustment Dates"), the Monthly
Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index as
finally
RIDER

42
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of U.S. Department of Labor for
Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, Los Angeles--Long Beach--Anaheim,
California (1967 equals 100), "All Items" (the "CPI"). On each said dates, the
adjustment in the Monthly Rent shall be calculated as follows:
(a) The "Base Rent" for the calendar month February,
1987, shall be calculated by subtracting the Debt Service Rent for that month
from the Monthly Rent for that month. The Base Rent shall be multiplied by a
fraction the numerator of which shall be the CPI of the calendar month in which
the Adjustment Date falls, and the denominator of which shall be the CPI for
the calendar month February, 1987. The product so obtained shall be added to
the Debt Service Rent for the calendar month February, 1987, and the sum so
calculated shall constitute the Monthly Rent Payable during the 30-month period
following the Adjustment Date, provided, however, that in no event shall the
increased Monthly Rent calculated on any Adjustment Date be less than 1.0768
times greater, nor more than 1.213 times greater, than the Monthly Rent payable
for the calendar month immediately preceding the Adjustment Date. By way of
example only, if (i) during the month of February, 1987, the Monthly Rent is
$10,138.63, the Debt Service Rent therefore being $330.38 and the Base Rent
being $9,808.25; and (ii) the CPI for the calendar month February, 1987, is 200
and the CPI for the calendar month August, 1989, is 228; then the Monthly Rent
for the calendar month August, 1989 and for the 30 calendar months thereafter
shall be $11,511.79; this amount representing the sum obtained by adding the
product of $9,808.25 times 1.14, (which is a fraction whose numerator is 228
and whose denominator is 200) and $330.38.

(b) Pending receipt from Lessor of Notice of the adjusted
Monthly Rent, Lessee shall pay Monthly Rent at the rate in effect prior to the
Adjustment Date times 1.0768. Upon calculation of the adjusted Monthly Rent,
Lessee shall, if necessary, pay Lessor the amount of any underpayments since
the Adjustment Date concurrently with the next payment of Monthly Rent due
after receipt of Lessor's notice.
(c) In the event the compilation or publication of the CPI
shall be transferred to any other governmental department, bureau or agency, or
shall be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the CPI shall be
used to make calculation set forth in this Paragraph 4.2(c). In the event that
Lessor and Lessee can not agree on such alternative index, then the matter
shall be submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with the then rules of said association and the decision of the
Arbitrator(s) shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee. The cost of said
Arbitrator(s) shall be paid equally by Lessor and Lessee.
4.4 Proration of Monthly Rent. The rent for any fractional
portion of a month during the term of this Lease shall be a pro rata portion of
the Monthly Rent for said month. Any such pro rata portion shall be based on a
30 day month. A similar proration will apply to the rent due in a month when
an Adjustment Date falls, between the rent due for the portion of the month
prior to the Adjustment Date and the rent due for the portion of the month
after the Adjustment Date.
4.5 Method of Payment. The Monthly Rent shall be payable, without
deduction, abatement or set off, in lawful money of the United States, to
Lessor at the address stated in
RIDER

this Lease, or at such other place as Lessor may designate in writing.
PARAGRAPH 6. USE.
6.3 Condition of Premises. (continued from printed text) On or
before the commencement date of this Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall conduct a
joint inspection of the Premises. They shall compile a punch-list of repair
work that must be performed in order to bring the Premises to the condition
described in Paragraph 6.3(a) above. Lessor shall promptly commence the work
described in the punch-list and shall complete that work within 30 days after
the Lease commencement date; provided, however, that if the work in question
reasonably would require more than 30 days to complete, Lessor shall be
required only to diligently perform the work and complete the work within a
reasonable time. It shall be conclusively presumed that Lessor has complied
with all of Lessor's obligations under this Paragraph 6.3 if Lessor has
performed all the work described in the punch-list and if Lessor has
satisfactorily cured any breaches of its warranty under Paragraph 6.3(a) of
which Lessee has notified Lessor in writing within 90 days after the Lease
commencement date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Paragraph 7.5 of this Lease, Lessee shall not install storage tanks of any size

its consent upon Lessee's agreement to give to Lessor such assurances as
Lessor, in its absolute discretion, deems necessary to protect itself against
potential problems concerning the installation, use or removal of the storage
tanks or the contamination of the Premises as a result of the installation or
use of such storage tanks, including but not limited to the installation of a
concrete encasement for the storage tanks. Lessee shall comply, at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, with all applicable permit or registration requirements

reasonable compensation for such services, at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
to advise Lessor with respect to the installation, operation, monitoring,
maintenance, removal or restoration of the storage tanks.

"jet 'A' fuel recovery system," including underground tanks, on the Premises.
Lessor consents to installation of the system, provided that Lessee complies
with all applicable laws in installing and maintaining the equipment, and that

Paragraph 6.4, Paragraph 7.5 and all other applicable provisions of this Lease
RIDER

any permits necessary for the construction and use of the helicopter landing
deck.

Premises or of said improvements as a helicopter landing deck.
(d) Prior to commencement of use of the Premises for
helicopter takeoffs or landings, Lessee shall obtain such additional insurance
coverages in such additional amounts as Lessee may reasonably require. Lessee
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor, Michael Barry Associates,
Inc., its agents, employees or lenders, from any and all claims, losses,
liability, demands, damages, costs, judgments, awards and expenses, including
but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection
with the use of the Premises as a helicopter landing deck regardless of any
negligence or absence thereof on the part of Lessee.

owns the real property or any interest therein or owns any interest in Lessor,
its successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, Lessee shall not be liable

9.10 Exercise of Option. If, pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor
elects to terminate this Lease, then Lessee may elect to exercise its Option to
purchase the Premises (granted in Paragraph 50 below), provided the Option has
not expired, and in that event Lessee shall receive any insurance proceeds

Option under this Paragraph 9.10 even if the Option period in Paragraph 50.3
below has not yet begun. If Lessee exercises the Option after an event of
damage or destruction, then the purchase price shall be determined based on the
Fair Market Value of the Premises immediately prior to the casualty loss.
PARAGRAPH 12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12. Limitations on Lessee's Right to Assign or Sublet.
(a) Except as provided in Paragraph 12.1(b) and Paragraph

or part of Lessee's interest in this Lease, or in the Premises, without
obtaining the written

consent of Lessor prior to such assignment, subletting or transfer. Lessor

all commercially reasonable factors including, but not limited to, the

(iii) The need for, and the nature of, any
alterations of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee;
(iv) The impact upon tenant mix; and
(v) The conflict, if any, with exclusive rights
granted to other tenants. Any assignment, subletting or transfer by Lessee
without the prior written consent of Lessor, whether it be voluntary or
involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void and shall at the option
of Lessor terminate this Lease. A consent by Lessor to one assignment,
subletting or transfer shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment, subletting or transfer.
(b) Notwithstanding the provision of Paragraph 12.1(a)
above, Lessee shall have the right to sublet a portion or portions of the
Premises, without obtaining the express prior written consent of Lessor if

occupying a total of at least 5,000 square feet of the Premises. The term of
any such sublease shall in no event extend beyond the term of this Lease, and
any such sublease

shall be expressly made subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease.

pursuant to this Paragraph 14, then Lessee may elect to exercise its Option to
purchase the Premises (granted in Paragraph 50), provided the Option has not
expired, and in that event Lessee shall receive the entire condemnation award.
Lessee may exercise the option under this Paragraph 14.2 even if the Option
period in Paragraph 50.3 below has not yet begun. If Lessee exercises the
Option after a condemnation of all or part of the Premises, then the purchase
price shall be determined based on the Fair Market Value of the Premises
immediately prior to the condemnation.

(ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Lessor's knowledge, any uncured

PARAGRAPH 32. LESSOR'S ACCESS. (Continued from printed text).

Lessee's rights under this Paragraph 32 are subject to security regulations
promulgated by any United States government agency. Lessor shall in no event

in accordance with industry standards interior and exterior cracks in walls and
paint the exterior of the Premises in accordance with a color scheme to be

those portions that, in the judgment of three licensed roof contractors,
selected by the parties, cannot be adequately repaired);
(c) Finish repairs, painting, and recarpeting of Unit 6
of the Premises; and
(d) Reinstall the disconnected air conditioner for Unit 6
of the Premises and bring all HVAC units up to a standard where a mutually

56
If it is determined that the sump in Unit 8 is contaminated by
hazardous waste or toxic or infectious materials, or Lessee determines that it
has not received a satisfactory opinion from the aforesaid hazardous waste
engineer, then Lessor and Lessee shall meet and confer. If Lessor and Lessee
cannot within fifteen (15) days after notice of contamination of the sump in
Unit 8 or receipt of an unsatisfactory opinion reach agreement regarding the
implementation of measures required to clean up the sump or obtain a
satisfactory opinion, then Lessee may cancel this Lease by written notice to
Lessor. The roof repairs shall be performed in a good and workman-like manner
by a licensed roof contractor. To the extent possible, any warranty will be
assigned to Lessee.
PARAGRAPH 49. RICHARD YOUNG SUBLEASE. As an inducement to Lessor to enter
into this Lease, Lessee hereby agrees to sublet a portion of the Premises,
consisting of approximately 1,400 square feet, to Richard Young, pursuant to
the terms set forth in the Standard Industrial Lease-- Gross attached hereto as
Exhibit "C" and by this reference incorporated herein (the "Young Sublease").
In that connection, Lessee agrees to execute the Young Sublease concurrently

Young Sublease is a material obligation of Lessee under this Lease.
PARAGRAPH 50. OPTION TO PURCHASE PREMISES.
50.1 Grant to Option. Lessor hereby grants to Lessee an exclusive
option to purchase the Premises at the purchase
RIDER
17

50.4 Exercise of Option. Lessee may exercise the Option solely by
execution and delivery to Lessor of three counterparts of the Purchase
Agreement; provided that Lessee may not exercise the Option if (i) Lessee is in
default of any of its material obligations under this Lease and (ii) Lessor has

notice if Lessee fails to give notice of its intention to exercise the Option
as described in Paragraph 50.2 above within the option period described in
Paragraph 50.3, above; or
(b) shall, upon notice by Lessor to Lessee and to Escrow
Holder, terminate if Lessee breaches any of its material obligations under this
Lease at any time between the time Lessee exercises the Option and the time the
purchase and sale of the Premises is completed pursuant to the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, and fails to cure the breach prior to the first to occur of
(i) termination of the Lease by Lessor on account of default, or (ii) 30 days
after exercise of the Option. In the Event of such automatic termination,
Lessee shall, within 5 business days after Lessor's request therefor, properly
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a release, a quitclaim deed or any
other instrument required by Lessor or a title insurance company acceptable to
Lessor, to verify the termination of this Option.
50.6 Assignability of Option. The Option is not severable from the
leasehold estate created by this Lease. It may not be assigned, voluntarily or
involuntarily, to any
RIDER
19
59
person or entity other than an assignee of the entire interest of Lessee under
the Lease, made with the prior written consent of Lessor pursuant to Paragraph
12 of the Lease.
50.7 Memorandum of Option. Upon request of Lessee, Lessor shall
execute and acknowledge a recordable memorandum of the Option, in form and
substance mutually agreeable to the parties, and sufficient, when recorded in
the Official Records of Los Angeles County, to give constructive notice of the
existence of the Option to subsequent bona fide purchasers and encumbrancers of
the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall pay the recording fee and
documentary transfer tax payable when the memorandum is recorded. Upon
subsequent transfer of the Premises to Pacific Energy Resources, a California
Limited Partnership ("PER"), Lessor shall cause a title policy to be issued in
an amount not less than $1,000,000, naming PER and Lessee as insured parties
"as their interests may appear."
PARAGRAPH 51. ARBITRATION.
Any dispute that arises under this Lease other than ones
involving the obligation of Lessee to pay rent or make other monetary payments,
shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association and the provisions of California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 1280 through 1294.2. Either party may initiate an
arbitration by giving written notice to the other party.

Attn: Richard Young
Re: Assignment of Lease
Dear Mr. Young:
As you are aware, California Airmotive Group, Inc., a California
corporation ("CAG"), Heli-Dyne, Inc., a California corporation ("Lessee"), and
Heli-Turbine, Incorporated, a California corporation ("HTI," together with
Lessee and CAG, the "Sellers"), have been negotiating to sell certain of their
assets to National Airmotive Corporation, a California corporation
("Assignee"). Recently, they have agreed to do so pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated as of March 25, 1994 (the "Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers have agreed, subject to
your consent, to an assignment of all of their right, title and interest in the
Standard Industrial Lease-Net, dated as of November 26, 1986, as modified by
letter agreement dated March 9, 1993, between Pacific Energy Resources,
formerly RPM Investments, Inc. ("Lessor"), and Lessee (the "Lease," a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) to Assignee.
By signing below where indicated, you, Lessee and Assignee agree that:
1. Lessor is the landlord under the Lease, demising certain
premises designated as 2508 Palm Drive, Long Beach, California 90806, as more
particularly described on Exhibit A of the Lease (the "Demised Premises").
