the Rentable Area of the Premises or a charge in the total Rentable Area of

-------------------
third party for all or a portion of the subject Space, Lessor shall give Lessee

day period, then Lessor shall be free to lease the space described in the First
Offer Notice to anyone to whom Lessor desires on any terms Lessor desires,
whereupon, Lessee's Right of First Offer shall terminate with respect to such
First Offer Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

to all of the space offered by Lessor to Lessee at any particular time, and

----------------------
First Offer Space (the "First Offer Rent") shall be equal to the Fair Market

consistent with the terms of Article 3.7.
1.11 Construction In First Offer Space. Subject to any improvement
---------------------------------
allowance granted to Lessee or Lessee improvement work to be provided by Lessor
as a component of First Offer Rent, Lessee shall take the First Offer Space in

responsibility (except that Lessor will provide a tenant improvement allowance
equal to the Tenant Improvement Allowance for the Initial Premises reduced pro-
rata by the remaining Lease Term), with any such construction to comply with the
terms of Article 8 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Tenant

First Offer Space to Lessee in a condition mutually agreed by the parties (the
"First Offer Commencement Date") and terminate coterminous with the termination
of the Lease Term.

SURRENDER OF PREMISES OWNERSHIP
-------------------------------
AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
-----------------------------
14.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Lessor or
---------------------
any agent or employee of Lessor during the Lease Term shall be deemed to
constitute an acceptance by Lessor of a surrender of the Premises unless such
intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Lessor. The delivery
of keys to the Premises to Lessor or any agent or employee of Lessor shall
not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this
Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Lessor, and
notwithstanding such delivery. Lessee shall be entitled to the return of such
keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been
property terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee,
whether accepted by Lessor or not, or a mutual Termination hereof, shall not
work a merger, and at the option of Lessor shall operate as an assignment to
Lessor of all subtenancies or subtenancies affecting the Premises.
14.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Lessee. Upon the
------------------------------------
expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease,
Lessee shall, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor in as good
order and condition as when Lessee took possession and as thereafter improved by
Lessor, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the
responsibility of Lessor hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or
termination, Lessee shall, without expense to Lessor, remove or cause to be
removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture,
equipment free-standing cabinet worked other articles of personal property owned
by Lessee or installed or placed by Lessee at its expense in the Premises, and

removal.
ARTTCLE 15
----------
HOLDING OVER
------------
If Lessee holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof,
with or without the express or implied consent of Lessor, such tenancy shall be
from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an
extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a
monthly rate equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%), of the Base Rent
applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease.
Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant
and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee, and Lessor
expressly reserves the right to require Lessee to surrender possession of the
Premises to Lessor as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other
termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall not be deemed to
limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Lessor provided
herein or at law. If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon thirty (30)
days following the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any
other liabilities to Lessor accruing therefrom, Lessee shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding
Lessee founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Lessor
resulting therefrom.

of a ground lease, if any, and if so requested. Lessee shall attorn to the
purchaser upon such foreclosure or sale or upon any grant of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure and recognize such purchaser as Lessor under this Lease.

or remedy at law or in equity, Lessor may elect any of the following remedies:
(a) Continuation of Lease. Notwithstanding Lessee's breach
---------------------
of the Lease and abandonment of the Premises, Lessor may continue the Lease in
full force and effect and enforce all of the Lessor's rights and remedies under
the Lease, as provided by California Civil Code section 1951.4. including the
----------
right to recover rents as it becomes due, so long as Lessor does not terminate
Lessee's right to possession. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to
relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Lessor to
protect Lessor's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of
Lessee's right to possession. At any time subsequent to vacation or abandonment
of the Premises by Lessee, Lessor may give notice of termination and shall
thereafter have all of the rights set forth in Article 17. ??(b) below.
(b) Termination. So long as the default continues Lessor shall

rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole
discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and
repairs to the Premises: and (iii) remove all personal property therefrom, store
such personal property at Lessee's expense and sell property and apply the
proceeds therefrom pursuant to applicable California law, all as attorney-in-
fact for Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any reimbursement for the

Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies to recover from Lessee damages as
provided by California Civil Code section 1951.2 (or any successor law)
----------
including without limitation: (i) the worth at the time of the award of the
unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination:
(ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award
exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Lessee proves could have been
reasonably avoided: (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid Rent loss Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided: and (iv)
any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment approximately
caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which
in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth
at the time of the award" of the amounts referred to in (i) and (ii) are
computed by allowing interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum
over the prime rate of interest announced by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National
Association Los Angeles, California applicable to the time of award, but not to
exceed the highest rate legally permissible at the time of the award. The
"worth at the time of the award" of the amount referred to in (iii) above 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%).
24
(e) Receivership. Upon application by Lessor, Lessor may have a
------------
receiver appointed for Lessee to take possession of the Premises and to apply
all rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and
remedies granted to Lessor as attorney-in-fact for Lessee pursuant to Article
17.2(c) above.
(f) Additional Remedies. In addition to the foregoing remedies
-------------------
so long as this Lease is not terminated, Lessor shall have the right to remedy
any default of Lessee, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating
the Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Lessee in seeking a new subtenant or
to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or
existing subleases, and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Lessor's
reasonable costs in doing so, with interest at the maximum rate set by statute.
Lessor may pursue any and all other remedies available to Lessor at law or in
equity, by statute or otherwise.
(g) Other Breaches. If Lessee causes or threatens a breach of
--------------
any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease,
Lessor shall be entitled to retain all sums held by Lessor for Lessee's account
or in any account provide for herein to enjoin such breach or threatened breach,
and to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were
not provided for in this Lease.
(h) Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Lessor provided for in
----------
this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or
remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise. The exercise or beginning of the exercise
by Lessor of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this
Lease, or nor or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by, statute or
otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of
any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or statute or otherwise.
(i) No Waiver. Notwithstanding, no failure by Lessor to insist
--------
upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or
remedy consequent upon a breach thereof and no acceptance of full or partial
payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a
waiver of any such breach or of any such term. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the
damages caused by Lessee's breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a
waiver of Lessor's right to recover damages under this Article l7. Nothing in
this Article 17 affects the right of Lessor to be indemnified and/or held
harmless by Lessee in accordance with the provisions of this Lease for
liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries
or property damage.
