The approximate Rentable Square Footage identified in Section 1.2 is a measurement of the net leasable floor area of the Premises, as determined by Landlord and applied on a consistent basis throughout the Property.

Tenant acknowledges that this lease is subject and subordinate to all liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, reservations, restrictions and other matters affecting the Premises, and any law, regulation, rule, order or ordinance of any governmental entity applicable to the Premises or the use or occupancy thereof in effect on the execution of this Lease or thereafter promulgated.

3.	LEASE TERM.

3.1 Commencement. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date stated in Section 1.3 and shall continue for the period stated in Section 1.4, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

3.2 Delay In Commencement. If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.3 for any reason, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor. Such non-delivery shall not affect the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant. If possession of the Premises is not delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date, the last day of the Lease Term shall be extended by the total number of days that possession is so delayed, plus the minimum number of additional days necessary to make the Expiration Data the last day of a calendar month. If Landlord has not delivered possession of the Premises within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all further obligations hereunder.

3.3 Early Occupancy. If Tenant, with the prior written consent of the Landlord, occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this Lease. Such occupancy shall not advance the Expiration Date.

RENT.

4.1 Minimum Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay minimum monthly rent (“Minimum Monthly Rent”) in the initial amount stated in Section 1.5, which amount shall be subject to increase as provided in Sections 1.5 and 4.3. Tenant shall pay the Minimum Monthly Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance, at the office of Landlord or at such other place

designated by Landlord, without deduction, offset or prior demand. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the rent for the partial month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be prorated on a per diem basis and shall be due on the first day of such partial month. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the first month’s Minimum Monthly Rent to Landlord.

4.2 Lease Year. As used in this Lease, the term “Lease Year” means (i) the first period of twelve (12) full calendar months following the Commencement Date (including, if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the period between the Commencement Date and the next first day of the month), (ii) each period of twelve (12) full calendar months thereafter, and (iii) any remaining peeled at the end of the Lease Term of less than twelve (12) full calendar months.

4.3 Cost-of-Living Increase. The Minimum Monthly Rent provided in Section 4.1 shall be increased, effective on the first day of each Lease Year (“Adjustment Date”), beginning with the first day of the second (2nd) Lease Year, to reflect increases in the cost of living. The base for computing the adjustment is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) for the Los Angeles - Anaheim - Riverside Area (the “Index”), as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Index published for the month which is three (3) months prior to the Adjustment Date shall be compared with the Index published for the same month in the preceding year, and the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased in accordance with the percentage increase (if any) between such indexes. No adjustment shall decrease the Minimum Monthly Rent below the amount in effect immediately prior to the adjustment. Landlord may calculate and give notice of the adjustment after the effective date of the increase, since the appropriate Index may not to available as of the Adjustment Date. In such event, Tenant shall continue to pay Minimum Monthly Rent at the rate in effect prior to the Adjustment Date until Landlord gives notice of the adjustment. Within fifteen (15) days alter receipt of such notice, Tenant shall pay in one lump sum the increase due from the Adjustment Date to the date of the notice. If the index is discontinued or materially revised during the Lease Term, Landlord shall adopt a substitute governmental index or computation that reasonably reflects consumer prices for purposes of computing the cost-of-living adjustment.

4.4 Additional Rent. All charges payable by Tenant in addition to Minimum Monthly Rent and Percentage Rent shall constitute Additional Rent to Landlord. All remedies available to Landlord for nonpayment of rent shall be available for nonpayment of any such Additional Rent. Unless this Lease provides otherwise, all Additional Rent shall be paid by Tenant, without limitation or offset, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement from Landlord. Additional Rent includes, without limitation, Operating Costs (see Article 6), Maintenance and Repairs (see Article 7), Real Property Taxes (see Article 8), insurance costs (see Article 9), Utilities (see Article 10), and attorneys’ fees and costs (see Section 24.3). If any Minimum Monthly Rent is abated or waived pursuant to another specific term of this Lease, or in any separate agreement, it is understood that such abatement or waiver shall apply only to the Minimum Monthly Rent, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay all components of Additional Rent (including the applicable impounds thereof) during the periods of abatement or waiver of Minimum Monthly Rent and throughout the Lease Term. Minimum Monthly Rent, Percentage Rent, Additional Rent, and all other charges and monetary amounts due Landlord from Tenant hereunder shall constitute “rent.”

4.5 Impounds.1 Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to collect and impound, in advance, any or all components of Operating Costs, Real Property Taxes and insurance costs based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s future liability for such amounts under this Lease. Landlord shall initially establish the monthly amount of such impound (“Monthly Impound Payments”), based upon its estimate of one-twelfth of Tenant’s annual liability therefor. Landlord shall have the right, at any time during the Lease Term, to adjust the amount of the Monthly Impound Payment upon notice to Tenant. The Monthly Impound Payment shall be due and payable on the first day of each month throughout the Lease Term. Any failure to pay the Monthly Impound Payment when due shall be an Event of Default under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to exercise any or all of its remedies available in the same manner as for the failure to pay rent, including the imposition of late charges and interest, and the right of Landlord to require that future payment of the Monthly Impound Payments be made by cashier’s check. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to apply all unapplied amounts of Monthly Impound Payments to Tenant’s default. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an accounting of Tenant’s actual Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs and the estimated amounts paid by Tenant (the “Statement”). Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited against next Monthly Impound Payments due hereunder, or, at Landlord’s option, shall be remitted to Tenant. Tenant shall pay the amount of any underpayment within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Statement. Tenant acknowledges that the Monthly Impound Payments are estimates only and not a representation of the amount of Tenant’s ultimate liability for Operating Costs, Real Property Taxes and insurance costs.

4.6 Tenant Audit Right. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of a Statement (“Audit Period”), Tenant shall be entitled, upon no less than five (5) days united notice to Landlord and during business hours at Landlord’s office or such other place as Landlord shall designate, to inspect and examine those books and records of Landlord relating to the determination of the Impounds charged to Tenant for the calendar year for which the Statement was prepared. In no event shall Tenant have the right to review Landlord’s tax returns or other books and records which are confidential and/or would not otherwise pertain to the Impound payments. The inspection of Landlord’s records :shall be performed by a national public accounting firm or a firm which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord (“Qualified Firm”). Tenant agrees and acknowledges that the selected Qualified Firm may not already be providing primary accounting services to Tenant nor shall it have provided primary accounting services to Tenant in the past three (3) years and may not be paid on a contingency basis. The examination must be conducted within ten (10) days of such taxes and records being made evadable to Tenant (“Examination Period”). The Qualified Firm shall prepare a report indicating the results of the review (the “Report”). If the Report discloses that the amount of the Impounds billed to Tenant was incorrect, the

1	Landlord estimates that the Impounds for 2011 will be $1,200/month

appropriate party shall pay the other party the deficiency or overpayment, as applicable, unless Landlord disputes the Report within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Report by Landlord. If Landlord disputes the Report within this thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon another Qualified Firm to review and verify the Impounds and provide the results thereof to Landlord and Tenant (the “Reconciliation Audit”). In such event, the determination as set forth in the Reconciliation Audit shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. All costs and expenses of the audit generating the Report shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that the Landlord overstated the Impound Expenses in the Statement by more than five (5%), in which event Landlord shall pay the cost and expense of such audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Reconciliation Audit is performed, Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half of the cost of the Reconciliation Audit. The exercise by Tenant by its audit rights hereunder shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay any amounts billed by Landlord prior to the request for an inspection and examination of Landlord’s books and records or permit Tenant the right to audit any other sums with the exception of the amount set forth in the Statement. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its rights to audit during Audit Period and/or does not examine the books and records during the Examination Period, then Landlord’s Statement shall conclusively be deemed to be correct and Tenant shall be bound by Landlord’s determination. Additionally, Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Tenant’s Lease provisions relating to the impounds may vary from other tenants and that the audit rights set forth herein and the review of books and records shall be confidential and, with the exception of Tenant’s auditors, Tenant may not disclose or discuss the audit or the results of the audit with any other parties, including but not limited to, any other tenants.

5.	SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount specified in Section 1.7 (the “Security Deposit), to be held by Landlord, without liability for interest, as security for Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Landlord may apply all or a part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent (including unpaid Additional Rent or Monthly Impound Payments) or other monetary payments due from Tenant or to cure any other default of Tenant hereunder and to compensate Landlord for all damage and expense sustained as a result of such default. If all or any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant shall deposit cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s written demand. If Tenant fully and faithfully performs each of its obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the later of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the vacation of the Premises by Tenant. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall accompany Landlord or Landlord’s representative on a ‘walk-through” of the Premises prior to Landlord’s return of the Security Deposit.

The initial limits of such insurance shall be at least $2,000,000 combined single liability limit. Tenant shall also, at its sole cost and expense, obtain workers’ compensation insurance for the protection of its employees such as will relieve Landlord of all liability to such employees for any and all accidents that may arise on or about the Premises or the Property.

Tenant shall pay such insurance costs to Landlord, to the extent such obligation exceeds any amount thereof impounded under Section 4.5, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord. If any insurance policy maintained by Landlord covers improvements or real property other than the Premises, Landlord shall reasonably determine the portion of the premiums applicable to the Premises, and Tenant shall pay its share thereof as so determined.

Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the utility service for Tenant’s requirements, and no such change, failure, defect, unavailability or unsuitability shall constitute any actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility service, and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or xxxxx the rent due hereunder.

Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense and by counsel satisfactory to Landlord, defend any action or proceeding brought against Landlord or Landlord’s Related Entities by reason of any such claim.

Landlord may withhold approval if Landlord determines that such proposed use involves a material risk of a release or discharge of Hazardous Materials or a violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws or if Tenant has not provided reasonably sufficient assurances of its ability to remedy such a violation and fulfill its obligations under this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby consents to Tenant’s use, storage or disposal of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials that are of a type customarily found in offices and households (such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for copies, paints, paint remover and the like), provided that Tenant shall handle, use store and dispose of such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner and shall not allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises.

Any defense of Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be by counsel acceptable to Landlord. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to and not a limitation of the indemnification provisions of Article 13 of this Lease. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

14.8 Event of Default. The release or discharge of any Hazardous Material or the violation of any Hazardous Materials Law by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant shall be a material Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition to or in lieu of the remedies available under this Lease as a result of such Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, without terminating this Lease, to require Tenant to suspend its operations and activities on the Premises until Landlord is satisfied that appropriate Remedial Work has been or is being adequately performed; Landlord’s election of this remedy shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right thereafter to declare an Event of Default and pursue any other available remedy.

15.	ALTERATIONS; LIENS.

15.1 Alterations by Tenant. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements (“Alterations”) to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, except for nonstructural Alterations that cost $5,000 or less and are not visible from the exterior of the Premises. All Alterations installed by Tenant shall be new or completely reconditioned. Landlord shall have the right to approve the contractor, the method of payment of the contractor, and the plans and specifications for all proposed Alterations.

If Tenant demolishes or removes any then-existing tenant improvements or other portions of the Premises or the Building (including without limitation any previously installed Alterations), Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion the Alterations then underway or shall otherwise restore the Premises and the Building to its condition and state of improvement prior to such demolition or removal. During the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to provide, at Tenant’s expense, a policy of insurance covering loss or damage to Alterations made by Tenant, in an amount adequate to repair or replace the same, naming Landlord as an additional insured. Provided, however, Tenant may install movable furniture, trade fixtures, machinery or equipment in conformance with applicable governmental rules or ordinances and remove the same upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease as provided in Article 20.

15.2 Permits and Governmental Requirements. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, principals, employees and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of any failure by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor or agents to obtain all required permits, regardless of when such failure is discovered. Tenant shall do any and all additional construction, alterations, improvements and retrofittings required to be made to the Premises and/or the Property, or any other property of Landlord as a result of, or as may be triggered by, Tenant’s Alterations. Landlord shall have the right to do such construction itself; but in all instances Tenant shall pay all costs directly or indirectly related to such work and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, principals, employees and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of any such additionally required work. All payment and indemnification obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

15.3 Liens. Tenant shall pay when due all claims for any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant, and Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising with respect thereto.

Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and costs), with interest at the rate specified in Section 22.4 from the date of payment by Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant. Tenant will notify Landlord in writing thirty (30) days prior to commencing any alterations, additions, improvements or repairs in order to allow Landlord time to file a notice of nonresponsibility.

16.	DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.

16.1 Partial Insured Damage. If the Premises or any building in which the Premises are located are partially damaged or destroyed during the Lease Term, Landlord shall make the necessary repairs, provided such repairs can reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or destruction in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and provided that Landlord receives sufficient insurance proceeds to pay the cost of such repairs. In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If such repairs cannot reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or destruction or if Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds, then Landlord may, at its option, elect within forty-five (45) days of the date of the damage or destruction to proceed with the necessary repairs, in which event this Lease shall continue in

full force and effect and Landlord shall complete the same within a reasonable time. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs or if such repairs cannot be made under applicable laws and regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party within ninety (90)days of the occurrence of such damage or destruction.

16.2 Insurance Deductible. If Landlord elects to repair any damage caused by an insured casualty as provided in Section 16.1, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, pay the amount of any deductible (or its share thereof) under any insurance policy covering such damage or destruction, in accordance with Section 9.4 above.

16.3 Uninsured Damage. In the event of any damage or destruction of the Premises or any building in which the Premises are located by an uninsured casualty, Landlord shall have the right to elect either to repair such damage or to terminate this Lease. Such election shall be exercised by written notice to Tenant within forty-five (45) days of such damage or destruction.

16.4 Total Destruction. A total destruction (including any destruction required by any authorized public authority) of either the Premises or any building in which the Premises are located shall terminate this Lease.

16.5 Partial Destruction of Property. If fifty percent (50%) or more of the rentable area of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause, notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Tenant within ninety (90) days after said occurrence, to elect to terminate this Lease.

16.6 Tenant’s Obligations. Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any restoration or replacement of any Alterations, trade fixtures, equipment or personal property placed or installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall promptly repair, restore or replace the same in the event of damage. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as a limitation on Tenant’s liability for any damage or destruction if such liability otherwise exists.

16.7 Rent Abatement. If Landlord repairs the Premises or the building after damage or destruction as described in this Article, Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant hereunder from the date of damage until the repairs are completed shall be equitably reduced, based upon the extent to which such repairs interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, but only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from rental income insurance paid for by Tenant. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to permit the abatement in whole or in part of Percentage Rent, but the computation of Percentage Rent shall be based upon the revised Minimum Monthly Rent as the same may be abated pursuant to this Section. Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to make a claim for and collect any rental income insurance proceeds that might be available.

16.8 Waiver of Inconsistent Statutes. The parties’ rights and obligations in the event of damage or destruction shall be governed by the provisions of this Lease; accordingly, Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4), and any other statute, code or judicial decisions that grants a tenant a right to terminate a lease in the event of damage or destruction of a leased premises.

17.	CONDEMNATION.

17.1 Condemnation of Premises. If any portion of the Premises is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use (“Condemnation”), and a portion remains that is susceptible of occupation, then this Lease shall terminate as to the portion so taken as of the date title vests in the condemnor, but shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining Premises. Landlord shall, within a reasonable period of time, restore the remaining Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition existing prior to the condemnation; provided, however, if Landlord receives insufficient funds from the condemnor for such purpose, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease. If this Lease continues in effect, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be equitably adjusted, based upon the value of the Premises remaining after the Condemnation compared to the value of the Premises prior to Condemnation. Provided, however, in the event of any such partial condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease entirely as of the date title vests in the condemnor. If all the Premises are condemned, or such portion so that there does not remain a portion that is susceptible of occupation, or if such a substantial portion of the Property is condemned that it is no longer economically appropriate to lease the Premises on the terms and conditions of this Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord, then at the election of Landlord this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in the condemnor.

17.2 Condemnation of Parking Area. If all or any portion of the parking area in the Property is condemned such that the ratio of the total square footage of parking and other Common Facilities compared to the total rentable building square footage of the Property is reduced to a ratio below two to one, then at the election of Landlord this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in the condemnor.

17.3 Condemnation Award. All compensation awarded upon any such partial or total Condemnation shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant shall have no claim thereto, and Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Landlord any right to compensation or damages by reason of any such Condemnation. Provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any damage to Tenant’s business by reason of the Condemnation and on account of any cost that Tenant may incur in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment. If this Lease is terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with this Article as a result of a Condemnation, Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

18.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

18.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or involuntarily assign, sublease, mortgage, encumber, or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Premises or its interest in this Lease (collectively, “Transfer”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Landlord may withhold its consent until Tenant has complied with the provisions of Sections 18.2 and 18.3. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s written consent shall be void and shall constitute a noncurable Event of Default under this Lease. If Tenant is a corporation, any cumulative Transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of such corporation shall constitute a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any corporation whose stock is publicly traded. If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or ether entity, any cumulative Transfer of more than twenty percent (20%) of the partnership, membership, beneficial or other ownership interests therein shall constitute a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder. Tenant shall not have the right to consummate a Transfer or to request Landlord’s consent to any Transfer if any Event of Default has occurred, and is continuing, or if Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant is in default under any lease of any other real property owned or managed (in whole or in part) by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord.

18.2 Landlord’s Election. Tenant’s request for consent to any Transfer shall he accompanied by a written statement setting forth the details of the proposed Transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the prospective Transferee, financial details of the proposed Transfer (e.g., the term and the rent and security deposit payable), and any other related information that Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall have the right: (a) to withhold consent to the Transfer, if reasonable, (b) to grant consent, (c) to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises affected by any proposed Transfer, in which event Landlord may enter into a lease directly with the proposed Transferee, or (d) to consent on the condition that Landlord be paid, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of all subrent or other consideration to be paid to Tenant under the terms of the Transfer in excess of the total rent due hereunder (including, if such Transfer is an assignment or if such Transfer is to occur directly or indirectly in connection with the sale of any assets of Tenant, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the consideration attributable to the Transfer of the Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord). The grounds on which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to any requested Transfer include, without limitation, that: (i) the proposed Transferee’s contemplated use of the Premises following the proposed Transfer is reasonably similar to the use of the Premises permitted hereunder, (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease, (iii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient net worth, working capital, anticipated cash flow and other indications of financial strength to meet all of its obligations under this Lease, (iv) the proposed Transfer would breach any covenant of Landlord respecting a radius restriction, location, use or exclusivity in any other lease, financing agreement, or other agreement relating to the Property, and (v) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the possibility of a release of Hazardous Materials is materially increased as a result of the Transfer or if Landlord does not receive sufficient assurances that the proposed Transferee has the experience and financial ability to remedy a violation of Hazardous Materials and to fulfill its obligations under Articles 13 and 14. Landlord need only respond to any request by Tenant hereunder within a reasonable time of not less than ten (10) business days alter receipt of all information and other submission required in connection with such request.

18.3 Costs; Transfer Fee. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with any permitted Transfer, including any real estate brokerage commissions due with respect to the Transfer. Tenant shall pay all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord and a fee of $500 to reimburse Landlord for costs and expenses incurred in connection with any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer. Such fee shall be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s request for consent.

18.4 Assumption; No Release of Tenant. Any permitted transferee shall assume in writing all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, utilizing a form of assumption agreement provided or approved by Landlord, and an executed copy of such assumption agreement shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of the Transfer. The taking of possession of all or any part of the Premises by any such permitted assignee or subtenant shall constitute an agreement by such person or entity to assume without limitation or qualification all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, notwithstanding any failure by such person to execute the assumption agreement required in the immediately preceding sentence. No permitted Transfer shall release or change Tenant’s primary liability to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of rent from any other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Article or a consent to Transfer. Consent to one Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent Transfer. If any transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or modifications of this Lease by Tenant’s transferee, without notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent, and such action shall not relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease.

18.5 No Merger. No merger shall result from any Transfer pursuant to this Article, any surrender by Tenant of its interest under this Lease, or any termination hereof in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may either terminate any or all subleases or succeed to the interest of Tenant thereunder.

18.6 Reasonable Restriction. Tenant acknowledges that the restrictions on Transfer contained herein are reasonable restrictions for purposes of Section 22.2 of this Lease and California Civil Code Section 1951.4.

18.7 Concessions. If the permitted use for Tenant is a retail use, the restriction on assignment and subletting contained in this Article shall not prohibit Tenant from granting concessions for the operation of one or more departments of the business which Tenant is permitted to conduct in the Premises under the terms at Lease Section 11.1, subject to the following

conditions: (a) each such concession may be granted only upon receipt by Tenant of the written consent of Landlord and shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease (b) the Gross Receipts from the operation of each such concession shall be deemed to be a part of the Gross Receipts of Tenant for purposes of determining the Percentage Rent payable hereunder, (c) all of the provisions hereof applying to the business of Tenant, including the provisions concerning reports and audits, shall apply to each such concession, and (d) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the sales floor area of the Premises shall at all times be devoted to the business of and be operated by Tenant.

19.	SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

19.1 Subordination. This Lease is junior and subordinate to all ground leases, mortgages, deeds of trust, and other security instruments now or hereafter affecting the real property of which the Premises are a part, and to all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any mortgagee, beneficiary under deed of trust or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior thereto. Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, and if Tenant fails to do so within fifteen (15) days after written demand, Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead, to do so.

19.2 Attornment. If Landlord sells, transfers, or conveys its interest in the Premises or this Lease, or if the same is foreclosed judicially or nonjudicially, or is otherwise acquired, by a mortgagee, beneficiary under deed of trust or ground lessor, upon the request and at the sole election of Landlord’s lawful successor, Tenant shall attorn to said successor, provided said successor accepts the Premises subject to this Lease. Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord or any such mortgagee, beneficiary under deed of trust or ground lessor, execute an attornment agreement confirming the same, in form and substance acceptable to Landlord. Such agreement shall provide, among other things, that said successor shall not be bound by (a) any prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent (except any Security Deposit) or (b) any material amendment of this Lease made after the later of the initial effective date of this Lease, or the date that such successor’s lien or interest first arose, unless said successor shall have consented to such amendment.

19.3 Estoppel Certificates. Within fifteen (15) days after written request from Landlord, Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (a) that this Lease is ungratified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, dating the nature of such modifications and certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified), (b) the amount of any rent paid in advance, and (c) that, to Tenant’s knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying the nature of such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser of or lender on the Premises. If Tenant fails to deliver such Statement within said 15-day period, Tenant shall be liable for the immediate payment of all foreseeable and unforeseeable damages, penalties and attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord as a result of such failure. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within said 15-day period shall constitute a conclusive acknowledgment by Tenant: (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance, and (iii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance.

20.	SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

20.1 Condition of Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in the same condition and state of repair as at the commencement of the Lease Term, except for ordinary wear and tear that Tenant is not otherwise obligated to remedy under the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall deliver all keys to the Premises, and the building of which the Premises are a part, to Landlord, Upon Tenant’s vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall remove all portable furniture, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, signs and other items of personal property (unless prohibited from doing the same under Section 20.2), and shall remove any Alterations (whether or not made with Landlord’s consent) that Landlord may require Tenant to remove. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises caused by such removal and shall restore the Premises to its prior condition, all at Tenant’s expense. Such repairs shall be performed in a manner satisfactory to Landlord and shall include, but are not limited to, the following: capping all plumbing, capping all electrical wiring, repairing all holes in walls, restoring damaged floor and/or ceiling tiles, and thorough cleaning of the Premises.

21.	DEFAULT BY TENANT.

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease by Tenant:

(a) Failure to pay when due the rent or any other monetary sums required hereunder.

(b) Failure to perform any other agreement or obligation of Tenant hereunder, if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant except as to those Events of Default that are noncurable, in which case no such grace period shall apply. Landlord’s notice described herein is intended to satisfy, and is not in addition to, any and all legal notices required prior to commencement of an unlawful detainer action, including without limitation, the notice requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161 et seq., provided that if the nature of such obligation is such that more than 15 days is required for performance, then Tenant will not be in default if Tenant commences performance within such 15-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

(d) If any of the following occurs: (i) a petition is filed for an order of relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or for an order or decree of insolvency or reorganization or rearrangement under any state or federal law, and such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof; (ii) Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) a receiver or trustee is appointed to take possession of any substantial part of Tenant’s assets, unless such appointment is vacated within thirty (30) days after the date thereof; (iv) Tenant consents to or suffers an attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of any substantial part of its assets or its interest under this Lease, unless such process is released or satisfied within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the foregoing events is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession), and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the difference between the rent (or other consideration) paid in connection with such transfer and the rent payable by Tenant hereunder, Any assignee pursuant to the provisions of any bankruptcy law shall be deemed without further act to have assumed all of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder arising on or after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

(e) The occurrence of any other event that is deemed to be an Event of Default under any other provision of this Lease.

22.

REMEDIES.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following remedies, each of which shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies now or hereafter available at law or in equity:

22.1 Termination of Lease. Landlord can terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by giving written notice of termination, and then re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant of such termination shall terminate this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord has the right to recover all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default, including:

(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the xxxx of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises, (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, (iii) brokers fees and commissions, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises, (iv) costs of carrying the Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and

security precautions, (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises, (vi) attorneys’ fees and costs, (vii) any unearned brokerage commissions paid in connection with this Lease, and (viii) payment of any previously waived or abated Minimum Monthly Rent and/or Additional Rent: plus

(e) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable law, As used in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum permissible legal rate. As used in paragraph (c) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

22.2 Continuation of Lease. Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, it Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), as follows:

(a) Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect without terminating Tenant’s right of possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rent and other monetary charges when due and to enforce all other obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises to do acts of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, to make alterations and repairs in order to relet the Premises, and/or to undertake other efforts to relet the Premises. Landlord may also remove personal property from the Premises and store the same in a public warehouse at Tenant’s expense and risk. No act by Landlord permitted under this paragraph shall terminate this Lease unless a written notice of termination is given by Landlord to Tenant or unless the termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) In furtherance of the remedy set forth in this Section, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for Tenants account, for such term (which may extend beyond the Lease Term), at such rent, and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises. Any rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied to the payment of: (i) any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, (ii) the costs of such reletting, including brokerage and attorneys’ fees and costs, and the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises, and (iii) the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, including any previously waived or abated rent. Any remainder shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future amounts as the same become due and payable hereunder. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord after an Event of Default by Tenant and the exercise of Landlord’s remedies hereunder. If the rent from such reletting during any month is less than the rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord upon demand.

(c) Landlord shall not, by any re-entry or other act, be deemed to have accepted any surrender by Tenant of the Premises or Tenant’s interest therein, or be deemed to have terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or the liability of Tenant to pay rent accruing thereafter or Tenant’s liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof, unless Landlord shall have given Tenant notice in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease.

(d) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions on the Transfer of the Lease set forth in Article 18 of this Lease constitute reasonable restrictions cm such transfer for purposes of this Section and California Civil Code Section 1951.4.

22.3 Performance By Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money or perform any other act to be performed by Tenant hereunder, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after notice by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make such payment or perform such other act without waiving or releasing Tenant from its obligations. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 22.4, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the rent.

22.4 Late Charge; Interest on Overdue Payments. The parties acknowledge that late payment by Tenant of Minimum Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impractical to determine, including, but not limited to, processing and accounting charges, administrative expenses, and additional interest expenses or late charges that Landlord may be required to pay as a result of late payment on Landlord’s obligations. Therefore, if any installment of Minimum Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord on the due date, and without regard to whether Landlord gives Tenant notice of such failure or exercises any of its remedies upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount or One Hundred Dollars ($100), as Additional Rent hereunder. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition, any amount due from Tenant that is not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) over the then current Bank of America prime or reference rate or ten percent (10%) per annum, whichever is greater, but not in excess of the maximum permissible legal rate, from the date such payment is due until the date paid by Tenant. Landlord’s acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.

22.5 Landlord’s Right to Require Advance Payment of Rent; Cashier’s Checks. If Tenant is late in paying any component of rent more than three (3) times during the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to require that all rent be paid three (3) months in advance. Additionally, if any of Tenant’s checks are returned for insufficient funds, or if Landlord at any time serves upon Tenant a Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1161

et seq., or any successor or similar unlawful detainer statutes), Landlord may, at its option, require that all future rent (including any sums demanded in any subsequent three (3) day notice) be paid exclusively by money order or cashiers check.

23.	DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.

23.1 Notice to Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform an obligation required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to each Mortgagee as provided in Section 23.2, specifying the nature of the alleged default; provided, however, that if the nature of the obligation is such that more than thirty (30) business days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

23.2 Notice to Mortgagees. Tenant agrees to give each mortgagee or trust deed holder on the Premises or the Property (“Mortgagee”), by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that Tenant has been previously notified in writing of the address of such Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagees shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default, or if such default cannot reasonably be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within said 30-day period, any Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure the default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings if necessary to affect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

23.3 Limitations on Remedies Against Landlord. In the event Tenant has any claim or cause of action against Landlord: (a) Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be against Landlord’s interest in the building of which the Premises are a part, and neither Landlord nor any partner of Landlord nor any other properly of Landlord shall be liable for any deficiency, (b) no partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party its any suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction over Landlord), (c) no service of process shall be made against any partner of Landlord (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership), and no such partner shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process, (d) no judgment shall be taken against any partner of Landlord and any judgment taken against any partner of Landlord may be vacated and set aside at any time, and (e) no writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Section shall be enforceable by Landlord and/or by any partner of Landlord. If Landlord fails to give any consent that a court later holds Landlord was required to give under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled solely to specific performance and such other remedies as may be specifically reserved to Tenant under this Lease, but in no event shall Landlord be responsible for monetary damages (including incidental and consequential damages) for such failure to give consent. Any claim, demand, right or defense of any kind by Tenant which is based upon or arises in connection with this Lease or the negotiations prior to its execution, shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes in a legal proceeding a defense by reason thereof, within one (1) year after the date of the inaction or omission or the date of the occurrence of the event or of the action to which the claim, demand, right or defense relates, whichever applies.

Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (including any claim of injury or damage and any emergency and other statutory remedy in respect thereof) brought by either against the other on any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.
