Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms,
covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided
herein, any statement of size set forth in this Lease, or that may have been
used in calculating Rent, is an approximation which the Parties agree is
reasonable and any payments based thereon are not subject to revision whether or
not the actual size Is more or less. NOTE: Lessee is advised to verify the
actual size prior to executing this Lease.
2.2 Condition. Lessor shall deliver that portion of the Premises contained
within the Building ("Unit") to Lessee broom clean and free of debris on the
Commencement Date or the Early Possession Date, whichever first occurs ("Start
Date"), and, so long as the required service contracts described in Paragraph
7.1(b) below are obtained by Lessee and in effect within thirty days following
the Start Date, warrants that the existing electrical, plumbing, fire-sprinkler,
lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems ("HVAC"), loading
doors, sump pumps, if any, and all other such elements in the Unit, other than
those constructed by Lessee, or acquired by Lessee from a prior tenant (see
Paragraph 7.3a), shall be in good operating condition on said date, that the
structural elements of the roof, bearing walls and foundation of the Unit shall
be free of material defects, and that the Unit does not contain hazardous levels
of any mold or fungi defined as toxic under applicable state or federal law,
that Landlord Is aware of. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval
for Lessee, at Lessee's cost, to test for those substances provided Lessee uses
a vendor from Lessor's approved vendor list. If a non-compliance with such
warranty exists as of the Start Date, or if one of such systems or elements
should malfunction or fail within the appropriate warranty period, Lessor shall,
as Lessor's sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise
provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee
setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance,
malfunction or failure, rectify same at Lessor's expense. The warranty periods
shall be as follows: (i) 30 days as to the HVAC systems, and (ii) 30 days as to
the remaining systems and other elements of the Unit. If Lessee does not give
Lessor the required notice within the appropriate warranty period, correction of
any such non-compliance, malfunction or failure shall be the obligation of
Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense (except for the repairs to the fire
sprinkler systems, roof, foundations, and/or bearing walls - see Paragraph 7).

improvements on the Premises and the Common Areas comply with the building codes
that were in effect at the time that each such improvement, or portion thereof,
was constructed. Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will
put the Premises, modifications which may be required by the Americans with
Disabilities Act or any similar laws as a result of Lessee's use (see Paragraph
49), or to any Alterations or Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph
7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. NOTE: Lessee is responsible for
determining whether or not the applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of
record, regulations and ordinances ("Applicable Requirements") and especially
the zoning are appropriate for Lessee's intended use, and acknowledges that past
uses of the Premises may no longer be allowed. Correction of any non-compliance
shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense. If the
Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during the term
of this Lease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Unit,
Premises and/or Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the
reinforcement or other physical modification of the Unit, Premises and/or
Building ("Capital Expenditure"), Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the cost of
such work as follows:

required as a result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee as
compared with uses by tenants in general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for
the cost thereof.
(b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and
unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic
modifications), then Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the obligation to pay for
the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the Premises pursuant to
the formula set out in Paragraph 7.1(d).

either. (i) immediately cease such changed use or intensity of use and/or take
such other steps as may be necessary to eliminate the requirement for such

All monetary amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. In the event
that any statement or invoice prepared by Lessor is inaccurate such inaccuracy
shall not constitute a waiver and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the amount
set forth in this Lease. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for
less than one full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number
of days of said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address
stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from time to time
designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less than the amount then
due shall not be a waiver of Lessor's rights to the balance of such Rent,
regardless of Lessor's endorsement of any check so stating. In the event that
any check, draft, or other instrument of payment given by Lessee to Lessor is
dishonored for any reason, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the sum of $25 in
addition to any Late Charge and Lessor, at its option, may require all future
Rent be paid by cashier's check. Payments will be applied first to Base Rent,
and Common Area Operating Expenses, accrued Late Charges, attorney's fees,
accrued Interest, and any remaining amount to any other outstanding charges or
costs.
OBLIGATION OF FURNISHER OF CREDIT INFORMATION. Pursuant to Civil code,
Section 1785.26, the Lessee is hereby notified that a negative credit report
reflecting on Lessee's credit report may be submitted In the future to a credit
reporting agency if Lessee falls to fulfill the terms of the rental/credit
obligations or if Lessee defaults in those obligations in any way.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the
Security Deposit as security for Lessee's faithful performance of its
obligations under this Lease. 'If Lessee fails to pay Rent, or otherwise
Defaults under this Lease; Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of
said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse
or compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may
suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion
of the Security Deposit, Lessee shall within 10 days after written request
therefor deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit
to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent increases during the
term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit
additional monies with Lessor so that the total amount of the Security Deposit
shall at all times bear the same proportion to the Increased Base Rent as the
Initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be
amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Lessee or to
accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the
Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, to
account for any increased wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result
thereof. If a change In control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following
such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor's reasonable
judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies
with Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a
commercially reasonable level based on such change in financial condition.
Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its
general accounts. Within 14 days after the expiration or termination of this
Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security Deposit only to unpaid Rent, and
otherwise within 30 days after the Premises have been vacated pursuant to
Paragraph 7.4(c) below, Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit
not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be
considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any
monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose
Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may condition its consent
to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional assurances as Lessor
reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and/or

Increase in the actual cost of the insurance applicable to the Building and/or

rate increase. The term Insurance Cost Increase shall not, however, include any
premium increases resulting from the nature of the occupancy of any other tenant

amount shall be considered the "Base Premium." The Base Premium shall be the
annual premium applicable to the 12 month period immediately preceding the Start
Date. if, however, the Project was not Insured for the entirety of such 12 month
period, then the Base Premium shall be the lowest annual premium reasonably
obtainable for the Required Insurance as of the Start Date, assuming the most

shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not
less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than
$2,000,000. Lessee shall add Lessor and Mid Valley Management as an additional

INITIALS INITIALS
(c)1998 - AIR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM MTG-4-5/50E
Lessors of Premises" Endorsement and coverage shall also be extended to include
damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not
contain any intra-insured exclusions as between Insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease
as an "insured contract" for the performance of Lessee's Indemnity obligations
under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. Lessee shall
provide an endorsement on its liability policy(ies) which provides that its
insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance
carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.
(b) Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall maintain liability insurance as
described in Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance

Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full insurable
replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or
the amount required by any Lender, but in no event more than the commercially
reasonable and available Insurable value thereof. Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee's personal property shall be
insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks
of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake
unless required by a Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the
enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition,
reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a
covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation
provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and
inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance
coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of

Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next 12 month period.

proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement of
personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such
insurance is in force.
(b) Business Interruption. Lessee shall obtain and maintain loss of income
and extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee for direct or
indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by
prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or attributable to prevention of
access to the Premises as a result of such perils.
(c) No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Lessor makes no representation
that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate

are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders
Rating" of at least A-, VI, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's

shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required
insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Start Date, deliver to Lessor
certified copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of the required insurance. No such policy shall be
cancelable or subject to modification except after 30 days prior written notice
to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least 10 days prior to the expiration of such
policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "insurance binders"
evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such Insurance and charge the
cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon
demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of
the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail
to procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other
Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies,
Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their
entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage to its
property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against
herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of
insurance carried or required or by any deductibles applicable hereto. The
Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive
any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Lessor or Lessee,
as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not invalidated thereby.

reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same

such claim in order to be defended or indemnified.

other cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising

of Lessor or from the failure of Lessor or its agents to enforce the provisions
of any other lease in the Project, or (iii) injury to Lessee's business or for

sole recourse in the event of such damages or injury be to file a claim on the
insurance policy(ies) that Lessee is required to maintain pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph 8. Lessor's non liability will apply irrespective of the
active or passive negligence of Lessor, Its agents, partners, or Lenders.
8.9 Failure to Provide Insurance. Lessee acknowledges that any failure on
its part to obtain or maintain the insurance required herein will expose Lessor
to risks and potentially cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Accordingly, for any month or portion thereof that Lessee does not maintain the
required Insurance and/or does not provide Lessor with the required binders or
certificates evidencing the existence of the required insurance, the Base Rent
shall be automatically increased, without any requirement for notice to Lessee,
by an amount equal to 10% of the then existing Base Rent or $100, whichever is
greater. The parties agree that such increase in Base Rent represents fair and
reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will incur by
reason of Lessee's failure to maintain the required Insurance. Such Increase in
Base Rent shall In no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach
with respect to the failure to maintain such insurance, prevent the exercise of
any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, nor relieve Lessee of
its obligation to maintain the insurance specified in this Lease.
9. Damage or Destruction.
9.1 Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in 3 months or less from the
date of the damage or destruction, and the cost thereof does not exceed a sum
equal to 6 month's Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30
days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage
is Partial or Total. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premises Partial Damage
shall not include damage to windows, doors, and/or other similar Items which
Lessee has the responsibility to repair or replace pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 7.1.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in 3
months or less from the date of the damage or destruction and/or the cost
thereof exceeds a sum equal to 6 month's Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee
in writing within 30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to
whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the
insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any deductible amounts
or coverage limits involved.
(d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition
existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and without
deduction for depreciation.
(e) "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the occurrence or discovery
of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous
Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises which
requires repair, remediation, or restoration.
9.2 Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an
Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage
(but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor's
election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair
of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any
applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in
force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the
Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds as and when
required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due
to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full
replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance
proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee
provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof,
within 10 days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request
therefor. If
Page 11 of 23
/s/ /s/
INITIALS INITIALS
(c)1998 - AIR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM MTG-4-5/50E
Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said 10 day
period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by
written notice to Lessee within 10 days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration
and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in
proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or
(ii) have this Lease terminate 30 days thereafter. Lessee shall not be entitled
to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or
destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject
to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but
the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs
if made by either Party.
9.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is
not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense),
Lessor may 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) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within
30 days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage.
Such termination shall be effective 60 days following the date of such notice.
In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right
within 10 days after receipt of the termination notice to give written notice to
Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or
satisfactory assurance thereof within 30 days after making such commitment. In
such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall
proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the required
funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.
9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a
Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate 60 days following
such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to
recover Lessor's damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.
9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last 6 months of
this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one month's Base
Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may terminate this Lease effective
60 days following the data of occurrence of such damage by giving a written
termination notice to Lessee within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable
option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may
preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option and (b) providing Lessor with
any shortage In insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to
make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is 10 days after
Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease,
or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue In full force and effect.
If Lessee falls to exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance
during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the
termination notice and Lessee's option shall be extinguished.
9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.
(a) Abatement In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total
Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not
responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required
for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises Is impaired, but
not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value Insurance. All other
obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall
have no liability for any such damage, destruction, remediation, repair or
restoration except as provided herein.
(b) Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair
or restoration within 90 days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at
any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written
notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of
Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than 60 days
following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair
or restoration is not commenced within 30 days thereafter, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the repair or restoration
is commenced within such 30 days, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. "Commence" shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the
preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the
Premises, whichever first occurs.
9.7 Termination; Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant
to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made
concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to
Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's Security
Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor.
9.8 Waive Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with
respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any
present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith.
10. Real Property Taxes.
10.1 Definitions.
(a) "Real Property Taxes." As used herein, the term "Real Property Taxes"
shall Include any form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or
estate taxes);
Page 12 of 23
/s/ /s/
INITIALS INITIALS
(c)1998 - AIR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM MTG-4-5/50E
improvement bond; and/or license fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Project, Lessor's right to other income
therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of leasing, by any authority having the
direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds are generated with reference
to the Project address and where the proceeds so generated are to be applied by
the city, county or other local taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which
the Project is located. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any
tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein: (i) imposed by
reason of events occurring during the term of this Lease, including but not
limited to, a change in the ownership of the Project, (ii) a change in the
improvements thereon, and/or (iii) levied or assessed on machinery or equipment
provided by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Lease.
(b) "Base Real Property Taxes." As used herein, the term "Base Real
Property Taxes" shall be the amount of Real Property Taxes, which are assessed
against the Premises, Building, Project or Common Areas in the calendar year
during which the Lease is executed. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any
calendar year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be
included in the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based
upon the number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.
10.2 Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3,
Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes applicable to the Project, and said
payments shall be Included in the calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses
in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.2.
10.3 Additional Improvements. Common Area Operating Expenses shall not
include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Project by
other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other lessees.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.2 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at
the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the
entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by reason of
Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the Premises by
Lessee or at Lessee's request or by reason of any alterations or improvements to
the Premises made by Lessor subsequent to the execution of this Lease by the
Parties.
10.4 Joint Assessment. If the Building is not separately assessed, Real
Property Taxes allocated to the Building 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.
10.5 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises. When possible, Lessee shall cause Its
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately
from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee's property within 10 days after receipt of a written
statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. Utilities and Services. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat,
light, power, telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Paragraph 4.2, if at any time in Lessor's sole judgment, Lessor
determines that Lessee is using a disproportionate amount of water, electricity
or other commonly metered utilities, or that Lessee is generating such a large
volume of trash as to require an increase in the size of the trash receptacle
and/or an increase in the number of times per month that it is emptied, then
Lessor may increase Lessee's Base Rent by an amount equal to such increased
costs. There shall be no abatement of Rent and Lessor shall not be liable in any
respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or discontinuance
of any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute, breakdown,
accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control or in
cooperation with governmental request or directions.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
12.1 Lessor's Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage or encumber (collectively, "assign or assignment") or sublet all or any
part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent.
(b) Unless Lessee is a corporation and its stock is publicly traded on a
national stock exchange, a change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of 25% or
more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change in control for
this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series
of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer,
leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or
hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will
result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than 25%
of such Net Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this
Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has
consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions
constituting such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be considered an
assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent. "Net Worth of
Lessee" shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors)
established under generally accepted accounting principles.
(d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor's option,
be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a noncurable Breach
without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat
such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may
either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon 30 days written notice, Increase
the monthly Base Rent to 110% of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the
event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (I) the purchase price of any option
to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment
to 110% of the price previously in effect, and (II) all fixed and non-fixed
rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be
increased to 110% of the scheduled adjusted rent.

(c)1998 - AIR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM MTG-4-5/50E
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be
limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
(f) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to a proposed assignment or
subletting if Lessee Is in Default at the time consent is requested.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, allowing a diminimus portion of the
Premises, i.e. 20 square feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in
connection with the Installation of a vending machine or payphone shall not
constitute a subletting.
12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or subletting shall :
(i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or
sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of
any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for
the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be
performed by Lessee.
(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from any
person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment.
Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the
acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for Lessee's Default or Breach.
(c) Lessors consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the
performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any assignee or
sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person
or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in
writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the
financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed
assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or
required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a fee of $500 as
consideration for Lessors considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees
to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation
as may be reasonably requested. (See also Paragraph 36)
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of
accepting such assignment, entering into such sublease, or entering into
possession of the Premises or any portion thereof, be deemed to have assumed and
agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and
obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said
assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has
specifically consented to In writing.
(g) Lessors consent to any assignment or subletting shall not transfer to
the assignee or sublessee any Option granted to the original Lessee by this
Lease unless such transfer is specifically consented to by Lessor in writing.
(See Paragraph 39.2)
12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's interest
in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply
same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until
a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations, Lessee may
collect said Rent. Any Lessee payment or other sums received by Lessee or any
other person in connection with this Lease shall be conclusively presumed to
have been paid by Lessee or on Lessees behalf. If, as a result of any proposed
Assignment or Sublease, Lessee receives rent or other consideration, either
Initially or over the term of the Assignment or Sublease, in excess of the rent
called for hereunder, or in the case of the Sublease of a portion of the
Premises, in excess of the rent allocable to such portion, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor as additional rent hereunder, all of the excess gross proceeds of each
such payment of rent or other consideration received by Lessee promptly after
its receipt. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing or any assignment of
such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the
sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's
obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a
Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to
pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease. Sublessee shall
rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without
any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists,
notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require
sublessee to adorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the
obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of the exercise
of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor
shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such
sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of such
sublessor.
(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease
shall also require the consent of Lessor.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by
Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee
within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall
have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such
Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13. Default; Breach; Remedies.
13.1 Default; Breach. A "Default" is defined as a failure by the Lessee to
comply with or perform any of the terms,

covenants, conditions or Rules and Regulations under this Lease. A "Breach" is
defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the
failure of Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period:
(a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the Premises

potential vandalism.
(b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any Security
Deposit required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third
party, when due, to provide reasonable evidence of Insurance or surety bond, or
to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or
property, where such failure continues for a period of 3 business days following
written notice to Lessee.
(c) The commission of waste, act or acts constituting public or private
nuisance, and/or an Illegal activity on the Premises by Lessee, where such
actions continue for a period of 3 business days following written notice to

(e) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of
compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the
rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) an Estoppel
Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence concerning any
guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 41,
(viii) material data safety sheets (MSDS), or (ix) any other documentation or
information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of
this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of 10 days following
written notice to Lessee.
(f) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 2.9 hereof,
other than those described In subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b), (c) or (d), above,
where such Default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than
30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be
a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(g) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any
general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a
"debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. ss. 101 or any successor statute thereto

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 subparagraph is
contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect,
and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(h) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any
Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false.
(i) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is
guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantor's
liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of
such guaranty, (Iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a
bankruptcy filing, (Iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and
Lessee's failure, within 60 days following written notice of any such event, to
provide written alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the
then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial
resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of
this Lease.
13.2 Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or
obligations, within 10 days after written notice (or in case of an emergency,
without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on
Lessee's behalf, Including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably
required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 1-46-% 125% of the
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such performance upon receipt of an
invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without further
notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or
remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such 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 to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to
recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of
termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, 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 attorneys' fees, and that
portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award
of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located
at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages
caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to
recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained
through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right
to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable
therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a
separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was
not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given
to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice
required by
Page 15 of 23
/s/ /s/
INITIALS INITIALS
(c)1998 - AIR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM MTG-4-5/50E
Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph
13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure
of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods
shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling
Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the
Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only
to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the
appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall not
constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or
judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration
or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to
possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity
provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other
charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or
other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease,
all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions",
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease
by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted
from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge,
bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor
under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee.
The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the
operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the
provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor
at the time of such acceptance.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
of Rent 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 upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, If any Rent
shall not be received by Lessor within '6 '10 days after such amount shall be
due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall
immediately pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to 10% of each such
overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater. The parties hereby agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will
incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect
to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and
remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable
hereunder, whether or not collected, for 3 consecutive installments of Base
Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base
Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly In advance.
13.5 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late
charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base
Rent) or within 30 days following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled
payment, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to scheduled payments,
or the 31st day after it was due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest
("Interest") charged shall be computed at the rate of 10% per annum but shall
not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to
the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
13.6 Breach by Lessor.
(a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time
shall in no event be less than 30 days after receipt by Lessor,
and-any-L-coder-whew-nameandaddress-shall-have-been-furnished-Lessee-In-writing-
for-such-purposer of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor
has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's
obligation is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its
performance, then Lessor shelf not be In breach if performance Is commenced
within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. , (b)
Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event that neither Lesser nor
Lender cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of said notice or if
having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue it to completion
then-Lessee may elect to cure said breash at Lessee's expense and offset from
Rent the actual and reasonable cost to perform such cure provided however that
such offset shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base
Rent or the Security Deposit, reserving Lessee's right to reimbursement from
Lessor for any such expense in excess of such offset. Lessee shall document the
cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor,
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
(collectively "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part 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 Unit, or more than 25%
of Lessee's Reserved Parking Spaces, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within 10 days after Lessor shall
have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such
notice, within 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 Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion
to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation.
Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether
such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for Lessee's
relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without
regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of
this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises
by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property
of the

25. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.
(a)When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a
real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand
what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or
agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the
Brokers in this transaction, as follows:
(i) Lessor's Agent. A Lessor's agent under a listing agreement with
the Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor's agent or subagent
has the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor: A fiduciary duty of
utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessor. To the
Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in
performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good
faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting
the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the
diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to
reveal to either Party any confidential Information obtained from the other
Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
(ii) Lessee's Agent. An agent can agree to act as agent for the
Lessee only. In these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's agent, even if
by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in
full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the
following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost
care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee
and the Lessor a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance
of the agent's duties. b. A duly of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A
duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or
desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent
attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent Is not obligated to reveal
to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which
does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
(iii) Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A real estate
agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can
legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a transaction, but
only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee. In a dual
agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both
the Lessor and the Lessee: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity,
honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. b. Other
duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above in subparagraphs (i) or
(ii). In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not without the
express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the
Lessor will accept rent in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or
that the Lessee is willing to pay a higher rent than that offered. The

INITIALS INITIALS
(c)1998 - AIR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM MTG-4-5/50E
above duties of the agent In a real estate transaction do not relieve a Lessor
or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor and
Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately
express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person
qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired,
consult a competent professional.
(b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal
proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this
Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the Start Date and
that the liability (Including court costs and attorneys' fees), of any Broker
with respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the
fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the
foregoing limitation on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.
(c) Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as "Confidential" any
communication or information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to
be confidential.
26. No Right. To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease.
In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be increased to
150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the expiration or
termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to
any holding over by Lessee.
In the event that Lessee holds over In violation of the above paragraph,
then In addition to the Increase of Base Rent and all Additional Rent, Lessee
shall be liable to Lessor for all costs, losses, claims or liabilities
(including attorney's fees) which Lessor may Incur as a result of Lessee's
failure to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
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.

Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together

the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this

the election of the new owner, this Lease will automatically become a new lease
between Lessee and such new owner, and (ii) Lessor shall thereafter be relieved

Lessor's obligations, except that such new owner shall not: (a) be liable for
any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring

agreement (a "Non-Disturbance Agreement") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance
Agreement provides that Lessee's possession of the Premises, and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long
as Lessee is not In Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises. Further, within 60 days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance
Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured
by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the
Non-Disturbance Agreement within said 60 days, than Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, directly contact Lender and attempt to negotiate for the execution and
delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.
30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall
be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any
subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.

involving the Premises whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to
declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any

substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether
by compromise, settlement, Judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or

reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shall be
entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred In the preparation and
service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether

Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within 10 days following any such event

exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default
or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated In writing by Lessor
at the time of such consent. The failure to specify herein any particular
condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the

Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.
40. Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the Rent 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 the Premises, Lessee,
its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties. The
Project Is not a full security property and Lessor does not guarantee or warrant
the personal security or safety of Lessee or its Invitees. Lessor does utilize
the services of a Courtesy Patrol Service, the cost of which is Included as a
Common Area Maintenance expense borne by Lessee. However, any cautionary

or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems
necessary, (ii) to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, and
(iii) to create and/or install new utility raceways, so long as such easements,
rights, dedications, maps, restrictions, and utility raceways do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to
sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate such rights.
(iv) Lessor reserves the right to move Lessee to other, reasonably similar space
in the building or Project. Lessor must provide at least sixty (60) clays prior
written notice to Lessee, In connection therewith, the costs of preparing such
other premises for Lessee's use, together with Lessee's reasonable costs of
moving, shall be borne by Lessor, but In no event shall Lessor be required to
pay an amount In excess of two months Base Rent.
(v) Lessor reserves the right, exercisable with sixty (60) clays notice
and without liability to Lessee, to change the name and address of the Premises.
Said sixty (60) clays notice shall conclusively be deemed reasonable notice to
Lessee.
(vi) Lessor reserves the right to re-run Lessee's credit at a later date
clue to collection and/or screening purposes.
42. 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. A Party who does not initiate
suit for the recovery of sums paid "under protest" within 6 months shall be
deemed to have waived its right to protest such payment.
43. Authority.; Multiple Parties; Execution.

company, partnership, or similar entity, each Individual executing this Lease on
behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized

days after request, deliver to the other Party satisfactory evidence of such
authority.
(b) If this Lease is executed by more than one person or entity as
"Lessee", each such person or entity shall be jointly and severally liable
hereunder. It is agreed that any one of the named Lessees shall be empowered to

bind all of the named Lessees, and Lessor may rely on the same as if all of the
named Lessees had executed such document.

which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same Instrument.
44. 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.
45. Offer. Preparation of this Lease by either party or their agent and

the other Party. This Lease is not intended to be binding until executed and
delivered by all Parties hereto.
46. Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the
Parties in interest at the time of the modification. As long as they do not
materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such

required by a Lender in connection with the obtaining of normal financing or
refinancing of the Premises.

MAINTENANCE AND TENANT IMPROVEMENT PROCEDURES
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS - HOW TO AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPENSE:
o Do not paint the floor of your warehouse. Paint will have to be
sandblasted off at your expense. A clear seal is acceptable if you require
a finished surface.
o Wallpaper will have to be removed when you vacate the unit. The wall must
be returned to us paint ready. If not, you will be charged for any
expenses we incur to get the walls to this condition.
o Do not glue signs to the internal wood doors. We have to remove them when
you leave and if the glue removes the finish and we cannot repair it, you
will be charged to replace the door.
o Electrical installations done to code become the property of the landlord.
If they are not done to code you will be charged for their removal. If you
have any questions you should contact the leasing office before doing any
removal.
o Do not attach anything to the marlite in the restroom. Any installations
should be made above the marlite level. This is an expensive replacement
and you will be charged for it.
o Do not make holes in the bronze moldings around the windows and doors to
your unit, inside or outside. Alarm companies will frequently do this. The
holes cannot be patched and therefore the bronze molding has to be
replaced. This can cost upwards of $300.00. It is possible to do these
installations without penetrating the bronze moldings.
o Glued down file or carpet on the warehouse floor has to be removed. The
glue must also be removed. If you do not do this before vacating then we
will do it and charge you. Sometimes the glue has to be sandblasted and
this gets expensive.
o If you remove any of the handicap door handles in order to install door
knobs with locking mechanisms, be sure to save the handicap hardware to
reinstall when you leave. Otherwise, you will be charged for the purchase
and reinstallation (NOT APPLICABLE TO FULLERTON BUSINESS CENTER).
The Fullerton Fire Department requires storeroom doorknobs (always
unlocked from the inside) to be installed on the mandoor. If this doorknob
is removed during your occupancy and replaced with a deadbolt or other
type hardware, you should save the storeroom doorknob. Please be advised,
however, that you will not only be violating the fire code, but will be
charged for the purchase and reinstallation of the storeroom doorknob upon
vacating the premises, if the original storeroom doorknob is not
reinstalled by you.
o Please note that you can be charged rent for the amount of time it takes
to repair the damage to your unit when that damage is over and above
normal wear and tear.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER:
START UP: If your unit does not operate when your power has been turned
on, do the following: o Check all switches on the thermostat to see if
they are in the correct position.
o Make certain that your circuit breakers have not been turned off.
RULES FOR OPERATION:
o When your unit shuts off, do not start it up again for five (5) minutes.
This jiggling of the thermostat can cause a breaker inside the unit to
shut off and it can damage the compressor.
o When the heat is in the on position never increase the thermostat more
than two (2) degree increments. Changing the thermostat will not effect
the temperature of the air that is coming out.
o Always control your system from the thermostat. Do not turn it on and off
from the breaker box. This could damage the system.
o On very hot or very cold days do not set the temperature so that the unit
will never shut off. Typical settings are 78 degrees for cooling and G8
degrees for heating. If the unit is set at an extreme temperature and is
not shutting off, it will freeze up and require repair.
REGULAR MAINTENACE PROCEDURES:
o The roll-up or tilt-up doors need to be serviced on a regular basis. The
recommended maintenance interval is every six (6) months.
o Both the glass and the metal man doors need periodic servicing. Doors get
out of alignment with repeated use and the locks collect dirt and become
hard to use.
o Tenants are responsible for cleaning their windows. If they are not
cleaned on a regular basis they will buildup calcium deposit which will
require acid washing to remove. This is an expensive procedure so please
make arrangements to clean your windows regularly during your tenancy.

CONNELLY ACT NOTICE
(Revised 3/12/90)
The Connelly Act (California Health & Safety Code section 25915 at seq.)
(the "Act") requires that certain information pertaining to asbestos be made
available to employees, contractors, tenants, and others. We are providing you
with this notice regarding the Fullerton Business Center, Fullerton, California
(the "Center") in compliance with this law.
Reports By Diagnostic Engineering, Inc. A limited asbestos survey report
(revision) ("Report") dated January 12, 1990, was prepared by Diagnostic
Engineering, Inc. ("DEI"). This Report contains the results of a limited
asbestos survey for asbestos-containing construction materials ("ACM"). The
survey included visual observation of all office spaces at the Center for.
spray-applied acoustic material, sampling of suspect acoustic ceiling materials,
and laboratory analysis of the 25 bulk samples taken.
The contents of the report include a statement of conclusions, a warning
regarding ACM, a list of the friable materials encountered in sample locations,
a list of unsampled suspect materials and their general locations, a statement
of sampling and laboratory procedures, and a work item inventory regarding
future removal of the ceiling material.
Laboratory results of the bulk sampling indicated that one of the bulk
samples, taken from 2478-K, did not contain asbestos. The other 24 samples of
the spray-applied acoustic material collected were found to contain asbestos.
These 24 samples were taken from the following office ceiling locations:
2434-A, 2434-B, 2444-J, 2444-F, 2478-A, 2478-C, 2488-K,
2488-I, 2500-B, 2500-D, 2512-A, 2512-D, 2524-C, 2524-G, 2536-I,
2536-L, 2548-J, 2560-F, 2572-A, 2584-H, 2444-L, and 2560-C.
Analysis of the bulk samples for asbestos content was performed by
polarized light microscopy (PLM), according to EPA protocols.
All of the positive bulk samples indicated that the spray-applied acoustic
material is friable. Damage ranged from none to minor, air movement was found to
be moderate, and access to all of the positive sampled material was found to be
high.
The Report concludes that friable ACM is present in the following ceiling
locations:
. 2434-A-I, 2444-A-L, 2478-A-K, 2488-A-K, 2500-A-L,
2512-A-L, 2524-A-L, 2536-A-L, 2548-A-J, 2560-A-J, 2572-A-1, and 2584-A-H.
The report also noted that other building materials which may contain
asbestos were not sampled or could not be representatively sampled as part of
the survey. These include roofing materials, resilient sheet flooring and
mastic, resilient floor tile and mastic, baseboard and mastic, joint compound,
and wallboard. These materials and others which may be discovered should be
assumed to contain asbestos until confirmed otherwise.
Previously, DEI performed. cohesion/adhesion testing of bulk samples of
spray-applied acoustic ceiling material from 2488-K, 2512-L, 2584-E, and 2478-E.
The cohesion/adhesion testing results indicated that the spray-applied acoustic
material sampled is well-secured to the underlying substrate.
Air samples were taken by DEI in the following twelve locations:
2478-A, 2488-K 2434-H, 2444-D, 2500-A, 2512-J,
2560-A, 2548-J, 2527-J 2584-H, 2536-K 2524-A,
The air samples were analyzed by phase contrast mico-scopy (PCM), using
EPA protocols. This technology measures all fibers, not just asbestos fibers.
The fiber content of the air in each instance of sampling was below the OSHA
"action level" of 0.1 f/cc.
The cohesion/adhesion testing results and air sampling results are
contained in a prior DEI report, dated October 31, 1989. This report also
contains an executive summary, findings and recommendations, a statement of
limitations, an air sample log, a bulk sample log and a cohesion/adhesion test
log.
DEI also issued a Limited Site Review report, dated February 28, 1990,
which contains observations and recommendations by DEI regarding spray-applied
acoustic ceiling materials in locations 2478-I, 2478-K, 2444-L, 2560-F, 2488-I,
and 2548-J. This report states that varying amounts of damage to the material
was observed in 2478-I, 2444-L, 2560-F, 2488-I, and 2548-J. No observation was
made by DEI of 2488-K, but there appears to be damage to the material in that
unit. The material in 2478-K was observed to be in good condition.
DEI has recommended removal of the ceiling material in 2560-F, 2488-K and
2548-J. For 2478-I and 2478-K, DEI has recommended reinspection of the material
as part of an operations & maintenance ("O&M") program. For 2444-L and 2488-I,
DEI has recommended removal of the material if the source of water damage to the
material cannot be repaired; if it can be repaired, DEI has recommended
reinspection of this material as part of an O&M program. Material which is
removed will be replaced with a non-ACM product. Until this removal and
replacement work is completed, great care must be taken to prevent any
disturbance of the material which could result in airborne fiber release and
contamination of the occupied space. Center management is working with its
consultant to determine the best means of performing this work.
DEI has reviewed the report by M.R. Chasse' Company, dated August 7, 1989,
which recommended abatement (by removal or encapsulation) of all of the
spray-applied acoustical ceiling material. The Chasse' Report is discussed
below. Based upon its observation of the material in place and the results of
the testing concluded to date, DEI does not believe that encapsulation of the
spray-applied acoustical material is an appropriate strategy and does not
believe that removal of the material is necessary at this time, except as noted
above. Accordingly, DEI has recommended an operations and maintenance ("O&M")
plan for management for the remaining ceiling materials, with a long term goal
of removal.
Report By M.R. Chasse' Company. A property inspection report ("Chasse'
Report"), dated August 7, 1989, was prepared by M. R. Chasse' Company. The
Chasse' Report contains the results of an inspection to survey the buildings at
the Center for the presence of ACM. The contents of the report include a general
statement of the scope of services performed, findings regarding ACM in the
Center, and a laboratory report regarding analysis of the bulk samples taken in
the Center.
Bulk samples of sprayed-on acoustic ceiling material were analyzed from
material taken from 2584-E (south and north offices); 2584 (south and north
offices); 2560 (Units D and J and south office); 2536 (Unit B); 2524-C (south
and north offices), 2524-H; 2512-G (south and north offices); 2512-I; and
2444-H. Roof covering material was analyzed from samples taken from 2584, 2572,
2560, 2478, 2500, 2488, 2512, 2524, 2536, 2434, 2444 and 2548 East Fender.
Asbestos was not detected in any of these samples. However, the analytical
detection limit for the tests by Chasse' was 1% asbestos (which is consistent
with generally approved bulk sample testing methods under EPA proto- cols),
whereas the Connelly Act defines ACM to mean material with greater than 1/10 of
1% asbestos by weight. Although asbestos at, a level of 1% or more was not
detected in these samples, it is possible that the sampled roof materials may
contain asbestos at a level greater than 1/10 of 1% but less than 1%. A flooring
sample from 2584-G also was analyzed and found to contain greater than 1%
asbestos.
The sampled acoustic ceiling material was found to be friable and contains
asbestos in a concentration sufficient to be considered a hazard to health if
disturbed. However, the material was found to be in good condition. The sampled
vinyl asbestos flooring was characterized by Chasse' as non-friable, as was the
transite pipe; generally, these- materials do not present a hazard unless they
are disturbed.
The mere presence of undisturbed and non-friable ACM in a building does
not generally present a health hazard. However, exposure to airborne asbestos
fibers can cause asbestosis and other asbestos-related diseases. Asbestos is
listed under Proposition 65 as a chemical known to the State of California to
cause cancer. There are uncertainties about the level of exposure which can
cause disease. The owners have no special knowledge of the potential health
impacts resulting from exposure to asbestos. If you wish to obtain further
information regarding potential health risks or impacts of asbestos, you are
encouraged to contact your local or state public health agencies.
Asbestos is a hazardous material. When it is contained in ceiling
material, roofing material, floor coverings or piping insulation, it can release
fibers, if disturbed. Certain general procedures and handling restrictions are
necessary when dealing with ACM or potential ACM, as a result. It is important
that these materials not be touched, moved, painted, scraped, cut, drilled,
ordered, sanded, cored, broken or otherwise disturbed in order to prevent and
minimize potential release of asbestos fibers. The material should not be
penetrated for hangers, cabling, wiring and the like. Such activities may
-4-
present a health risk and should not be attempted by any person who is not
trained in the proper handling and disposal of ACM. Any damage to, or
disturbance of, these materials should be reported immediately to the on-site
manager.
The reports referred to in this Notice are available for your review and
photocopying in the on-site management office at 2478 East Fender, Suite A,
Fullerton, California 92631. Please call Stephanie Burke at (714) 447-0747 if
you wish to arrange access to this information. Center management will keep you
informed of progress in the on-going planning with regard to the ACM.
