STANDARD INDUSTRIAL LEASE--GROSS
AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION
1. Parties. This Lease, dated, for reference purposes only, APRIL 14, 1995, is
made by and between MILDRED K DIBONA (herein called "Lessor") and GRAPHON, INC
AND WALTER KELLER (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 SANTA CLARA State of CALIFORNIA
commonly known as 150A N HARRISON AVENUE, CAMPBELL CA 95008 and described as THE
FRONT PORTION OF THE BUILDING, CONTAINING 3,000 SQUARE FEET
Said real property including the land and all improvements therein, is herein
called "the Premises".
3. Term.
3.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall be for TWELVE (12) MONTHS
commencing on MAY 1, 1995 and ending on APRIL 30, 1996 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 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; provided further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee is
not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel
this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
3.3 Early Possession. 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, monthly payments of
$900.00, in advance, on the FIRST day of each month of the term hereof. Lessee
shall pay Lessor upon the execution hereof $ 900.00 as rent for THE MONTH OF MAY
1995
Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one month
shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment. Rent shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States to Lessor at the address stated herein or to
such other persons or at such other places as Lessor may designate in writing.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof $-0-
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. Use.
6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used end occupied only for OFFICE, COMPUTER
REPAIR, STORAGE AND SALES.
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 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.
(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 lend 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 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.
Lessee's failure to give such written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days
after the Lease commencement date shall cause the conclusive presumption that
Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's obligations hereunder. The warranty
contained in this paragraph 6.3(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.
(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 Lessor's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6,
7.2, 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 not, however, be obligated to
paint such exterior, nor shall Lessor be required to maintain the interior
surface of exterior walls, windows, doors or plate glass. 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. Lessee
expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter 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.
7.2 Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7.1 and 9, Lessee, at
Lessee'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, heating, air
conditioning, (Lessee shall procure and
Initials: MDB

maintain, at Lessee's expense, an air conditioning system maintenance contract)
ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and equipment within the
Premises, fixtures, interior walls and interior surface of exterior walls,
ceilings, windows doors, plate glass, located within the Premises, and all
landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences and signs located in the Premises
and all sidewalks and parkways adjacent to the Premises. 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.
(b) If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this
Paragraph 7.2 or under any other paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may at Lessor's
option enter upon the Premises after 10 days prior written notice to Lessee
(except in the case of emergency, in which case no notice shall be required),
perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in good order,
condition and repair, and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the
maximum rate then allowable by law shall be due and payable as additional rent
to Lessor together with Lessee's next rental installment.
(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, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of its trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this 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 the
same or better condition as received.
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 $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 7.3
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 allot 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
7.3(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. 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 Lessee and
Lessor against any liability arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of
the Premises and all other areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be 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.
8.2 Liability Insurance - Lessor. Lessor shall 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, but not Lessee, against any
liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto in an amount not less than $500,000
per occurrence.
8.3 Property Insurance. 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 an
amount not to exceed the full replacement value thereof, as the same may exist
from time to time, providing protection 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)
special extended perils ("all risk", as such term is used in the insurance
industry) 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 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.
8.4 Payment of Premium Increase.
(a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor, during the term hereof, in addition
to the rent, the amount of any increase in premiums for the insurance required
under Paragraphs 8.2 and 8.3 over and above such premiums paid during the Base
Period, as hereinafter defined, whether such premium increase shall be the
result of the nature of Lessee's occupancy, any act or omission of Lessee,
requirements of the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises,
increased valuation of the Premises, or general rate increases. In the event
that the Premises have been occupied previously, the words "Base Period" shall
mean the last twelve months of the prior occupancy. In the event that the
Premises have never been previously occupied, the premiums during the "Base
Period" shall be deemed to be the lowest premiums reasonably obtainable for said
insurance assuming the most nominal use of the Premises. Provided, however, in
lieu of the Base Period, the parties may insert a dollar amount at the end of
this sentence which figure shall be considered as the insurance premium for the
Base Period: $3,540.00. In no event, however, shall Lessee be responsible for
any portion of the premium cost attributable to liability insurance coverage in
excess of $1,000,000 procured under paragraph 8.2.
(b) Lessee shall pay any such premium increases to Lessor within 30
days after receipt by Lessee of a copy of the premium statement or other
satisfactory evidence of the amount due. If the insurance policies maintained
hereunder cover other improvements in addition to the Premises, Lessor shall
also deliver to Lessee a statement of the amount of such increase attributable
to the Premises and showing in reasonable detail, the manner in which such
amount was computed. If the term of this Lease shall not expire concurrently
with the expiration of the period covered by such insurance, Lessee's liability
for premium increases shall be prorated on an annual basis.
(c) If the Premises are part of a larger building, then Lessee shall
not be responsible for paying any increase in the property insurance premium
caused by the acts or omissions of any other tenant of the building of which the
Premises are a part.
8.5 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 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. 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.
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.
8.6 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.
8.7 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 indemnity 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.
8.8 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 at 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.

suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration.
(b) if Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises

repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the date
of such notice.

defined in paragraph 10.3, applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that
Lessee shall pay, in addition to rent, the amount, if any, by which real
property taxes applicable to the Premises increase over the fiscal real estate
tax year 19 19 . Such payment shall be made by Lessee within thirty (30)

special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having the direct or
indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, 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, and as against Lessor's
business of leasing the Premises. The term "real property tax" shall also
include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of,
partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove
included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the nature of

included within the definition of real property tax by reason of such transfer,
or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or
changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.
10.4 Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property
taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel
assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information
as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in
good faith, shall be conclusive, and based on square footage leased over the
total square footage.
10.5 Personal Properly 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 end all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal properly 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 of any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and 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 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 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 $350.00 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. 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 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 or
assignment for the benefit of creditors: (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. ss.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 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 properly 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 properly 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 properly tax and insurance
premiums.
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 any 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 of 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.
15. Broker's Fee.
(a) Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay
to______________________________________________________________________________
Licensed real estate broker(s), a fee as set forth in a separate agreement
between Lessor and said broker(s), or in the event there is no separate
agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), the sum of $_____________, for
brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.
(b) Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercises any Option as defined
in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under this Lease, or
any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to an Option
granted to Lessee under this Lease, or if Lessee acquires any rights to the
Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are substantially
similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein granted to
Lessee been exercised, or if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after
the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an
Option, or if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale
entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent
properly in which Lessor has an interest, then as to any of said transactions
Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said
broker(s) in effect at the time of execution of this Lease.
(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
Lessors obligation under this Paragraph 15. Said broker shall be a third party
beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 15.
16. 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) 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 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, 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.
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. 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.
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 10 days after written demand shall constitute a
material default by Lessee hereunder, or, at Lessor's option. Lessor shall
execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee
does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such
documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).
31. Attorneys 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.
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. Sign. "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.
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.
39. Options.
39.1 Definition. As used in this paragraph the word "Options" has the
following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or

Lessee Affiliate as defined in paragraph 12.2 of this Lease. The Options herein
granted to Lessee are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
39.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple options
to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless the
prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.
39.4 Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding any
provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during the time
commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessees notice of default pursuant to
paragraph 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the default alleged in said
notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time commencing on the
day after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee and unpaid (without
any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) continuing until the obligation is
paid, or (iii) at any time after an event of default described in paragraphs

such default to Lessee), or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee
three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), where a late charge
becomes payable under paragraph 13.4 for each of such defaults, or paragraph

to the time that Lessee intends to exercise the subject Option.

be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an Option
because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a)
(c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely
exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of this

period of 30 days after such obligation becomes due (without any necessity of
Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails to commence to
cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(c) within 30 days after the date that
Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails thereafter to

Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv) Lessor gives to Lessee
three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), where a late charge

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.

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.

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 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
