Commencing with the initial Comparison Year and each Comparison Year thereafter, Tenant shall pay as additional rent, a prorata share of any increases in taxes and expenses of the building over and above taxes and expenses in existence the previous year. Within ninety (90) days after each annual period, or within a reasonable time thereafter, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant written notice, together with reasonable evidence indicating the increase or decrease of taxes and/or operating costs, and Tenant's pro-rata proportion. In the case of a decrease no adjustment will be made. In the event any such written notice is furnished to Tenant showing an increase in the rent payable hereunder for any annual period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such notice is furnished to Tenant, an amount equal to Tenant's share of such increase for the annual period for which the increase is effective, plus an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of such increase multiplied by the number of rent payment dates then elapsed during the then current annual period. Thereafter, until a new statement is furnished, the monthly rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of such annual rent increase. If the term of this Lease expires and the Tenant vacates the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the appropriate apportionment of the pro rata increases of any taxes and operating costs in the year in which this Lease expires. Tenant shall pay, during the term hereof, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed on trade fixtures, personal property or leasehold improvements installed by Tenant or in possession of Tenant in, upon or about the Premises, and assessed against the real property of which the Premises are a part.

Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be use for any purpose or purposes other than the purpose or purposes for which the Premises are leased. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Premises or acts done which will increase the existing rate of insurance on the building or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the building or any part thereof. If any act on the part of Tenant or use of the Premises by Tenant shall cause, directly or indirectly, any increase of Landlord's insurance, such additional expense shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall not sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Premises, any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policies. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste upon the Premises or any Public or private nuisance or any other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the building in which the Premises are located. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit the Premises to be used in whole or in part for any purpose or use that is deemed to be in violation of any of the laws, ordinances, regulations or rules of any public authority or organization at any time.

Landlord reserves the right to charge for such services which shall be payable as additional rental for any of them, should Tenant use the same to excess, and the refusal on the part of Tenant to pay, upon demand of Landlord, such excess charges shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights hereinafter granted for such breach.

Tenant shall, within 10 days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or "binders" thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall be payable to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies. If Tenant does or permits to be done anything which increases the cost of the insurance policies, then Tenant shall pay such additional cost upon Landlord's demand or reimburse Landlord for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Tenant causing such increase in the cost of insurance. If Tenant fails to procure and maintain said insurance policies required by this paragraph, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Tenant.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND RULES 19. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations of all governmental authorities with respect to the Premises and the use and occupation thereof by Tenant. A judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant that Tenant has violated any such laws, ordinances, orders or regulations, shall be deemed to be conclusive as to Landlord and Tenant.

In the event of damage causing a partial destruction of the Premises during the term of this Lease from any cause, and repairs can be made within ninety (90) days from the date of the damage under the applicable laws and regulations of governmental authorities, Landlord shall repair said damage promptly and within a reasonable time, but such partial destruction shall in nowise void this Lease, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate deduction of rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate deductions to be based upon the extent to which the Office Area useable by Tenant bears to the Offices Area of the Premises. If such repairs cannot be made in ninety (90) days, Landlord may, at its option, make the same within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and effect and the rent to be proportionately rebated as provided in the previous paragraph. In the event that Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs which cannot be made within ninety (90) days, or such repairs cannot be made under such laws and regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. In the respect to any partial destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this paragraph, the provisions of any statute or law permitting Tenant to terminate this Lease are waived by Tenant.

In the event of such taking or condemnation by judgment, verdict or agreement, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of said date, or if all of the Premises shall be so taken or condemned or such part thereof be so taken or condemned so that there does not remain a portion susceptible of occupation and use by Tenant hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. All compensation awarded upon such condemnation or taking shall go to the Landlord and the Tenant shall have no claim thereto, and the Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Landlord any right to compensation or damages which the Landlord may become entitled during the term hereof by reason of the condemnation of all or a part of the Premises. INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION 22. This Lease, at the option of Landlord, shall immediately cease and terminate upon the happening of any of the following event: (a) The filing of a petition for any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act or any amendment thereto by Tenant or any other person against Tenant.

(e) The appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Premises or the assets of Tenant. DEFAULT 23. If Tenant shall fail to pay after five (5) days written notice, any part of the rent provided for herein or any other sum required to be paid by Tenant at the times or in the manner required, or if Tenant should abandon, vacate or surrender the Premises or be dispossessed by any process of law, or if default shall occur in any of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord, in addition to all other rights or remedies provided for by law, shall have the right to re-enter immediately the Premises and remove all persons and property located thereon, and, at Landlord's option, to store said property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. Upon any such re-entry, Landlord shall have the right to make any reasonable repairs, alterations, or modifications to the Premises, which Landlord in its sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary. After any such entry, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, re-let the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, whether less than or greater than the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease, as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary. All sums received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied first to the payment of all costs incurred in said re-letting, including but not limited to reasonable brokerage and legal fees, second to the payment of the cost of any repairs, alterations or modifications to the Premises, third to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant arising out of this Lease other than rent due and owing, fourth to the payment of any rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent if such future rent may become due and payable. Should the amounts applied on rent during any month be less than the rent agreed to be paid during said month by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency to Landlord. This deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in making repairs, alterations or modifications to the Premises. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease be delivered to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter during the term of this Lease elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of such previous default by Tenant. In addition to any other remedy Landlord may have, whether any re-letting has occurred or not, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and recover from Tenant any damages incurred by reason of such default, including the costs of recovering the Premises, as reasonable attorney's fees and the then excess, if any, of the rent due pursuant to the provisions of this Lease for the remainder of the term thereof over the then reasonable value of the Premises for the balance of the stated term, which amount shall become immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord. ATTORNEY FEE 24. Tenant agrees that if Landlord is involuntarily made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or The Park of which the leased Premises are a part by reason of any act or omission of Tenant and not because of any act or omission of Landlord, then Tenant shall hold harmless the Landlord from all liability by reason thereof, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in such litigation and all taxable court costs. If legal action shall be brought by either of the parties hereto for the unlawful detainer of the Premises, for the recovery of any rent due under the provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any term, covenant or provision hereof, the party prevailing in said action (Landlord or Tenant as the case may be) shall be entitled to recover from the party not prevailing costs of suit and a reasonable attorney's fee which shall be fixed by the Judge of the Court. HOLDING OVER 25. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, with the express written consent of Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental in the amount of the then prevailing rate, plus all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof. Tenant shall continue in possession until such tenancy is terminated by Landlord or Tenant upon thirty (30) days' written notice by either party. If Tenant remains in possession without Landlord's consent, after termination of the Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day of such retention one-fifteenth (1/15th) of the amount of the monthly rental for the last month prior to such termination and Tenant shall also pay all costs, expenses and damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention, including, without limitation, claims made by a succeeding tenant results from Tenant's failure to surrender the premises.

The Landlord shall have the right to amend said rules and to make other and different reasonable rules and regulations limiting, restricting and regulating the privileges of tenants in said building, and all such rules and regulations so made by Landlord, after notice thereof to Tenant, shall be binding upon Tenant and become conditions of the tenancy and covenants on the part of and to be performed by the Tenant.

SELF-HELP 29. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any covenant on its part to be performed by virtue of any provision in this Lease contained, Landlord, at its option, may perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, without notice if any emergency exists, or on twenty (20) days written notice to Tenant, if no emergency exists, and all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord incurring such default, together with interest thereon, shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall reimburse and compensate Landlord as additional rent within five (5) days after rendition of a statement by Landlord, for all damages and fines sustained or incurred by Landlord, due to nonconformance or noncompliance with or breach or failure to observe within the periods herein provided any provision of this Lease upon Tenant's part to be kept, observed, performed or complied with. WAIVER 30. No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of Landlord, and any waiver or the breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant, term or condition. Acceptance of all or any portion of rent at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any covenant, term or condition except as to the rent payment accepted. RELOCATION OF PREMISES CONDITIONS 31.1 For the purpose of maintaining an economical and proper distribution of Tenants throughout the Building acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Lease to relocate the Premises in the Building on the following terms and conditions: (a) The rented and usable areas of the new location in the Building are of equal size to the existing location subject to a variation of up to ten percent (10%) provided the amount of rent payable under this Lease is not increased; (b) If the then prevailing rental rate for the new location is less than the amount being paid for the existing location, the rent shall be reduced to equal the then prevailing rent for the new location; (c) Landlord shall pay the cost of providing tenant improvements in the new location comparable to the tenant improvements in the existing location; (d) Landlord shall pay the expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such substitution of Premises, including but not limited to costs of moving, door lettering, telephone relocation and reasonable quantities of new stationary. NOTICE 31.2 Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to relocate the Premises, specifying the new location and the amount of rent payable therefore at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the relocation is to be effective. If the relocation of the Premises is not acceptable to Tenant, Tenant for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's notice to relocate shall have the right (by delivering written notice to Landlord) to terminate this Lease effective thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice to Landlord. NOTICE 32. All notices or demands of any kind required or desired to be given by Landlord to Tenant hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by United States mail, registered or certified, addressed to Tenant at the address of the Premises, or any such other place as Tenant may, from time to time, designate to Landlord by written notice, whether or not Tenant has departed therefrom, abandoned or vacated the Premises. Any notice or demand of any kind which Tenant may be required or desires to serve on Landlord shall be served by mailing a copy thereof, by registered or certified mail, addressed to Landlord at: HUNTINGTON EXECUTIVE PARK 16168 Beach Boulevard Suite 200 Huntington Beach, CA 92647 or any such other place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate to Tenant by written notice. SUBORDINATION 33. This Lease shall be subject and subordinated at all times to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the building(s) or the land upon which the building(s) is situated or both, and to the lien of any mortgage or deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or thereafter place on or against Landlord's interest or estate herein or on or against any ground or underlying lease without the necessity of having further instruments on the part of the Tenant to effectuate such subordination. However, if any mortgage, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease, prior to the lien of its mortgage or deed of trust, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, trust deed 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. The subordination of this Lease to any such ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust shall be subject to the following: a) In the event of the termination of any ground lease or the sale of The Park of which the Premises are a part (pursuant to foreclosure or the exercise of a power of sale under any such mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument), Tenant shall attorn to the ground lessor or the purchaser as the case may be, and recognize such person as the Landlord under this Lease. (b) Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default at the time of any termination described in (a) above and so long as Tenant shall thereafter pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If in connection with obtaining financing for The Park at a bank, insurance, pension trust, real estate investment trust or other recognized institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely effect the leasehold interest hereby created. LATE CHARGES 34. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder, or any payment due for miscellaneous items or services provided by Landlord at Tenant's request and expense, after five (5) days written notice of nonpayment, will cause Landlord 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 Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, in the event that Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord within ten (10) days of the date when due, any payment owing to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including items or services requested by the Tenant), said late payment shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date due and payable until the same shall have been fully paid and, in addition: 34.1 Service Charge. For each such late payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a service charge in the amount of Five Percent (5%) of the amount due and owing from Tenant; and 34.2 Landlord's Option. Following each second consecutive late payment of rent, Landlord shall have the option (a) to require that, beginning with the first payment of rent due following the date such late payment was due, rent shall no longer be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable three (3) months in advance; or (b) to require that Tenant increase the amount of the security deposit required under Paragraph 10 by one hundred percent (100%), which additional security deposit shall be retained by Landlord, and may be applied by Landlord, in the manner provided in said Paragraph 10. MISCELLANEOUS 35. (a) The captions of the paragraphs contained in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be deemed, in resolving any question of interpretation or construction of any paragraph of this Lease, to be relevant. (b) The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein, include, apply to, and bind and benefit the heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors of the Landlord and Tenant, subject to the aforementioned restrictions on assignment of this Lease on the part of Tenant. (c) All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, except that nothing in this provision shall be deemed to permit any assignment, subletting or use of the Premises other than as provided for herein. (d) This Lease shall be governed and interpreted solely by the laws of the State of California then in force. Both number, singular or plural, as used in this Lease shall include all numbers and each gender shall be deemed to include all genders. (e) It is expressly understood between the parties hereto that nothing in the way of verbal understanding or agreement, either prior to the date hereof or subsequent thereto, in reference to the lease of the Premises, shall, in any manner, affect this Lease or be deemed a modification of it or a change in its terms. No change or modification or new lease shall have any effect unless reduced to writing and signed by the parties hereto. (f) Time is of the essence of this Lease and of each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by Tenant, if Tenant shall consist of more than one person or organization, shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights remedies granted to Landlord by law shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any other remedy.
