OFFICE LEASE
LEASE, dated February 1, 1995, between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ JOINT VENTURE, a
California general partnership having an office at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("Landlord"), and THE FOUNTAIN VIEW MANAGEMENT
GROUP, a California corporation having an office at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("Tenant").
ARTICLE 1
Demise of Premises and Term
Section 1.1. Demise. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires
from Landlord, subject to the covenants and agreements contained in this Lease,
Suite Number 680 (the "Premises") on the 6th floor, in the building (the
"Building") located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, which
Premises are shown outlined on Exhibit A attached hereto and are improved or are
to be improved by Landlord with the leasehold improvements described in the
Construction Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto, marked Exhibit B,
and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 1.2. Area. In that the Premises are to be reconstructed the parties
agree that a recalculation of the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be made by
Landlord's architect (or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Systems, Inc., or other qualified
professional firm selected by Landlord) in accordance with the standards set
forth by the Building Owners and Managers Association when the exact location of
demising walls is established. Such determination as approved by Landlord and
advised to Tenant shall be determinative unless patently unreasonable. Once the
Rentable Area of the Premises is so established and advised to Tenant it shall
become a part of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the
Rentable Area or Usable Area of the Premises and total Building Area may
actually be more or less than the figures stated herein; Landlord and Tenant
agree, however, that even though such figures may be inaccurate, that for all
purposes of the Lease, the figures stated herein shall be conclusively deemed to
be the Rentable Area, or Usable Area of the Premises and total Building Area, as
the case may be. Rentable Area herein is calculated as 1.15 times estimated
Usable Area, regardless of what actual common areas of the Building may be, or
whether they may be more or less than 15% of the total estimated Usable Area of
the Building. The basis of this calculation of 1.15 times estimated Usable Area
is to provide a general basis for comparison and pricing of this space in
relation to other spaces in the market area.
Section 1.3. Term. The term of this Lease shall commence when Landlord has
substantially completed construction of the mutually agreed upon tenant
improvements pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit B, or on April 1, 1995 (the
"Term Commencement Date"), whichever occurs last, and shall end, unless sooner
terminated as herein provided, on March 31, 2000 provided, however, that the
termination date of the Lease shall be extended to reflect the full term. The
parties shall immediately execute an amendment to the Lease stating the date of
commencement of the term when it is ascertained. If for any reason (including
Landlord's inability to complete the tenant improvements, if any, which it
specifically agrees to make pursuant to Exhibit B) Landlord is unable to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Term Commencement Date, this Lease
shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any
damage resulting therefrom, but, in that event, the rent reserved and covenanted
to be paid herein shall not commence until possession of the Premises is
available for occupancy by Tenant, and no such failure to give possession on the
date of commencement of the term shall in any way affect the obligations of
Tenant hereunder.
Tenant's taking possession of the Premises on the commencement of the term shall
constitute Tenant's acknowledgement that the Premises are in good condition. If
possession of the Premises is not tendered by Landlord within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the original time set for the Term Commencement Date, then
Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease by notice
to the other as provided herein; if such possession is not tendered within three
hundred sixty (360) days after the original time set for the Term Commencement
Date, then this Lease, and the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant
hereunder, shall terminate automatically and without the necessity for further
documentation. If Tenant, with Landlord's consent, takes possession prior to the
Term Commencement Date, then Tenant shall do so subject to all of the covenants
and conditions hereof.
ARTICLE 2
Rent
Section 2.1. Fixed Rent; Additional Rent. The rent shall consist of (a) fixed
rent at the rate of $112,838.40 per annum, commencing as of the Term
Commencement Date, payable in equal monthly installments of $9,403.20 in advance
on the first day of each and every calendar month until the end of the term
(apportioned for the first month if the Term Commencement Date shall be other
than the first day of a calendar month and for the last month if this Lease
expires on a day other than the last day of a calendar month), plus (b)
additional rent as provided in Article 3 and elsewhere in this Lease. Rent shall
be paid to Landlord at its office or at such other place(s) as Landlord shall
designate to Tenant, in lawful money of the United States of America. Each
reference in this Lease to "fixed rent" shall mean the annual amount thereof
owing for the Premises as specified in this Section 2.1. On the date of the
execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the first month's fixed
rent due hereunder and the Security Deposit referred to in Section 22.6 herein.
Should the Rentable Area of the Premises be increased or decreased pursuant to
Section 1.2 of the Lease then, effective at the commencement of the Lease term,
the initial Monthly Fixed Rent and annual Fixed Rent shall be recalculated based
on $1.60 per rentable square foot per month.
Section 2.2. Adjustment. Intentionally omitted.
Section 2.3. Certain Taxes. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any
and all taxes, surcharges, levies, assessments, fees and charges payable by
Landlord (other than a profits tax, or imposts of a personal nature, charged or
levied against Landlord) whether or not now customary or within the
contemplation of Landlord and Tenant: (a) upon, measured by or reasonably
attributable to (i) the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures
and other personal property located in the Premises or (ii) the cost or value of
any leasehold improvements in or to the Premises made at Tenant's expense
irrespective of whether title to such improvements shall be in Tenant or
Landlord, (b) upon or measured by any rent payable hereunder, including, without
limitation, any gross income tax, gross receipts tax, or excise tax levied by
the City or County of Los Angeles or any other governmental body with respect to
the receipt of such rent (computed as if such rent were the only income of
Landlord); (c) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the
Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) upon this transaction or any document to
which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in the Premises. In
the event that it shall not be lawful for Tenant so to reimburse Landlord, the
rent payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net the Landlord
the same rent after imposition of any such tax as would have been payable to
Landlord prior to the imposition of any such tax.
2
Section 2.4. Manner of Payment. Tenant shall pay fixed rent and additional rent
as and when the same shall become due and payable, without demand therefor, and
without any abatement, set off or deduction whatsoever except as may be
expressly provided in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to submit statements to
Tenant for such fixed rent or additional rent, including the failure of Landlord
to provide to Tenant a calculation of the adjustment as provided in the
Escalation Statement referred to in Article 3 herein, shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of Tenant's requirements to pay such sums as herein provided; failure
of Tenant to pay additional rent as provided herein shall constitute a default
under the terms hereof in like manner as failure to pay fixed rent when due.
Section 2.5. Certain Adjustments. If the term of this Lease commences other than
on January 1 or expires or terminates other than on December 31, or in the event
of any change in the size of the Premises or of any abatement of fixed rent (or
additional rent payable pursuant to Article 3) during a calendar year, any
amount payable by Tenant or Landlord during such year shall be adjusted
proportionately on a daily basis, and the obligation to pay such amount shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 3
Additional Rent
Section 3.1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Lease:
(a) "Escalation Statement" means a statement by Landlord, setting forth the
amount payable by Tenant or by Landlord, as the case may be, for a specified
calendar year pursuant to this Article 3.
(b) "Operating Expenses" means the following in a referenced calendar year
calculated assuming the Building is at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied:
all costs of management, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Building and
shall include the following costs by way of illustration but not limitation:
water and sewer charges; any and all insurance premiums; license, permit and
inspection fees; air conditioning (including repair of same); heat; light; power
and other utilities; steam; labor; cleaning and janitorial services; guard
services; supplies; materials; equipment and tools; and management fees,
including an allowance to Landlord for Landlord's supervision and management. It
shall also include the cost or portion thereof of any capital improvements made
to the Building by Landlord during the term of this Lease, (i) that reduces
other direct expenses, that were made to the Building by Landlord after the date
of this Lease, or (ii) that are required under any governmental law or
regulation that was not applicable to the Building at the time it was
constructed, which costs or allocable portion thereof to be amortized over a
reasonable period as Landlord shall determine together with interest on the
unamortized balance at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or such higher
rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of
construction of such capital improvement. Operating Expenses shall include all
general and special real estate taxes, special assessments and other ad valorem
taxes, rates, levies and assessments paid upon or in respect of the Building and
personal property used by Landlord in the operation thereof for a calendar year
(or portion thereof) to any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, and
all taxes specifically imposed in lieu of any such taxes (but excluding taxes
referred to in Section 2.3 for which Tenant or other tenants in the Building are
liable) including fees of counsel and experts, reasonably incurred by, or
reimbursable by Landlord in connection with any application for a reduction in
the assessed valuation of the Building and/or the land thereunder or for
a judicial review thereof.
(c) "Tenant's Share" means 5.28%. The "Tenant's Share" percentage set forth in
this Subparagraph 3.1.(c) shall be adjusted appropriately if the Useable Area of
the Premises is
3
increased or decreased pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Lease, or pursuant to
other written agreement of Landlord and Tenant, with the numerator being the
newly calculated Useable Area of the Premises.
Section 3.2. Operating Expenses. If the Operating Expenses for any calendar year
during this Lease term (including the year in which this Lease expires or is
otherwise terminated), commencing with the calendar year 1996, have increased
over the Operating Expenses for the calendar year 1995 (the "Base Year"), then
within fifteen (15) days after Landlord furnishes Tenant with an Escalation
Statement relating to such calendar year Tenant shall, in the case of an
increase, pay to Landlord as additional rent for such calendar year an amount
equal to the product obtained by multiplying such increase by Tenant's Share.
Landlord may, at or after the start of any calendar year, subsequent to the
calendar year 1995, notify Tenant of the amount which Landlord estimates will be
Tenant's monthly share of any such increase in Operating Expenses for such
calendar year over the Base Year and the amount thereof shall be added to the
monthly fixed rent payments required to be made by Tenant in such year. If
Tenant's Share of any such increase in rent payable hereunder as shown on the
Escalation Statement is greater or less than the total amounts actually billed
to and paid by Tenant during the year covered by such statement, then within
thirty (30) days thereafter, Tenant shall pay in cash any sums owed Landlord or,
if applicable, Tenant shall receive a credit against any rental next accruing
for any sum owed Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2 of the Lease, if,
in any calendar year following the Base Year (a "Subsequent Year"), a new item
of expense (e.g. earthquake insurance, concierge), is included in Operating
Expenses which was not included in the Base Year Operating Expenses, then the
cost of such new item shall be added to the Base Year Operating Expenses for
purposes of determining the additional rent payable pursuant to this Section 3.2
for such Subsequent Year. The same amount shall continue to be included in Base
Year Operating Expenses for each Subsequent Year thereafter such that the
additional charges for such Subsequent Year shall include the increase in the
cost of such new item over the first Subsequent Year in which it appeared as an
Operating Expense provided, however, that if in any Subsequent Year thereafter
such new item is not included in Operating Expenses, no such addition shall be
made to Base Year Operating Expenses. Conversely, if, in any Subsequent Year, an
item of expense as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion is no longer
included in Operating Expenses that was included the Base Year Operating
Expenses, then the cost of such item shall be deleted from the Base Year
Operating Expenses for purposes of determining the additional rent payable
pursuant to this Section 3.2 for such Subsequent Year. The same amount shall
continue to be deleted from the Base Year Operating Expenses for each Subsequent
Year thereafter that the item is not included provided, however, that if such
item is again included in any Subsequent Year, then the item shall be added back
to the Base Year Operating Expenses.
Section 3.3. Other Additional Rent. Certain individual items of cost or expense
may in the determination of Landlord be separately charged and billed to Tenant
by Landlord, either alone or in conjunction with another party or parties, if
they are deemed by Landlord to apply solely to Tenant or solely to Tenant and
such other party or parties, and shall be paid as Additional Rent, regardless of
Tenant's Share. Such allocations by Landlord shall be binding on Tenant unless
unreasonable.

ARTICLE 4
Ethics
Section 4.1. Ethics. Landlord and Tenant agree to conduct their business or
practice in compliance with any appropriate and applicable codes of professional

ARTICLE 5
Landlord's Rights
Section 5.1. Landlord's Rights. Landlord reserves the following rights: (a) to

the Building or to exhibit the Premises to others, to affix and display "For
Rent" signs, and for any purpose whatsoever related to the safety, protection,
preservation or improvement of the Premises, the Building, or Landlord's
interest, without being deemed guilty of an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's
use and possession, and without being liable in any manner to Tenant on account
thereof; (e) at any time, and from time to time, whether at the instance of
Tenant or pursuant to governmental requirements, at Landlord's expense, to make
repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or decorating, whether structural
or otherwise, in or to the Building, or any part thereof, including the
Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing rights, Landlord
shall specifically have the right to remove, alter, improve or rebuild the lobby
of the Building as the same is presently or shall hereafter be constituted, or
any part or parts thereof. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any
expense, injury, loss or damage resulting from any work so done in or about the
Premises or the Building or any adjacent or nearby building, land, street or
alley, all claims against Landlord for any and all such liability being hereby
expressly released by Tenant unless in the event of Landlord's negligence or
willful misconduct. In connection with making repairs, alterations, decorating,
additions or improvements under the terms of this Section, Landlord shall have
the right to access through the Premises as well as the right to take into and
upon and through said Premises or any other part of the Building all materials
that may be required to make such repairs, alterations, decorating, additions or
improvements, as well as the right in the course of such work to close
entrances, doors, corridors, elevators, or other building facilities, or
temporarily to ▇▇▇▇▇ the operation of such facilities, without being deemed or
held guilty of an eviction of Tenant and without liability for damages to
Tenant's property, business or person and without liability to Tenant by reason
of interference with the business of Tenant or inconvenience or annoyance to
Tenant or the customers of Tenant. The rent reserved herein shall in no wise
▇▇▇▇▇ while said repairs, alterations, decorating, additions or improvements are
being made and Tenant shall not be entitled to maintain any set-off or counter-
claim for damages of any kind against Landlord by reason thereof, all such
claims being hereby expressly released by Tenant unless in the event of
Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct. However, all such work shall be
done in such manner as to cause Tenant the least inconvenience practicable.
ARTICLE 6
Use of Premises
Section 6.1. Use. The Premises shall be used for purposes specified in the Basic
Lease Information and no other.
Section 6.2. Exclusive Use. Tenant's use of the Premises shall not conflict with
other exclusive use provisions in current leases (or with exclusive use
provisions in future leases,
5
which do not, when made, conflict with Tenant's actual and specifically
permitted use of the Premises).
ARTICLE 7
Tenant's Property
Section 7.1. Tenant's Property. All fixtures, equipment, improvements and
installations attached to, or built into, the Premises at the commencement of or
during the term of this Lease shall be and remain part of the Premises and be
deemed the property of Landlord.
Section 7.2. Perimeter Walls; Etc. All the perimeter walls of the Premises, any
balconies, terraces or roofs adjacent to the Premises (including any flagpoles
or other installations on said walls, balconies, terraces or roofs) and any
space in and/or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stairways, pipes,
conduits, ducts, mail chutes, conveyors, pneumatic tubes, electric or other
utilities, sinks, fan rooms or other Building facilities, and the use thereof,
as well as access thereto through the Premises (at and for such times as shall
not unreasonably interfere with the Tenant's business) for the purposes of such
use and the operation, improvement, replacement, addition, repair, maintenance
or decoration thereof or of the Building, are expressly reserved to Landlord.
ARTICLE 8
Utilities
Section 8.1. Utilities. Landlord agrees to furnish the Premises while Tenant is
not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease, and subject to the
regulations of the Building, with: heat and air conditioning during normal
business hours, the usual janitorial services, lighting replacement (for
building standard lights), normal water and electric current for lighting and
ordinary business machines, such as typewriters and such other equipment and
office machines that do not result in an over standard use of the existing
electrical system. Except for copying machines which Tenant may install in the
Premises at Tenant's expense, and for which Landlord will assume the cost of
additional electric current to be used by such machines, Tenant will not without
the written consent of Landlord use any apparatus or device in the Premises,
including but without limitation thereto, electronic data processing machines,
punch card machines, special lighting, and machines using current in excess of
five (5) kilowatts per hour of rated capacity or requiring voltage other than
120 volts, single-phase, which use will in any way increase the amount of
electricity, water, steam, or compressed air usually furnished or supplied for
use of the Premises as office space; nor connect with electric current, except
through existing electrical outlets in the Premises, or water pipes or air pipes
(if any there be), any apparatus or device for the purpose of using electrical
current or water or air.
If Tenant shall require water or electric current in excess of that usually
furnished or supplied for use of the Premises as office space, wherein customary
use shall be deemed to include one (1) private bathroom and one (1) kitchen sink
within the Premises, Tenant shall first procure the consent of Landlord to use
thereof, which Landlord may refuse and Landlord may cause a water meter or
electric current meter to be installed in the Premises so as to measure the
amount of water and electric current consumed for any such other use. The cost
of any such meters and of installation, maintenance, and repair thereof shall be
paid for by Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand
therefor by Landlord for all such water and electric current consumed, as shown
by said meters at the rates charged for such services by the local public
utility furnishing the same, plus any additional expense incurred in keeping
account of the water and electric current so consumed. Furthermore, should
6
Tenant require heat and air conditioning during times other than during normal
business hours as defined, from time to time, in Exhibit "C" attached hereto,
said usage is available to Tenant on an as-needed basis by activating a switch
within the Premises and shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense, which shall
be an amount equal to the Landlord's cost plus twenty-five percent (25%).
Tenant shall also be responsible for and shall pay Landlord any additional costs
incurred because of the failure of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) equipment and systems to perform their function due to arrangement of
partitioning in the Premises or changes or alterations thereto or from occupancy
of the Premises exceeding one person for every one hundred and twenty-five (125)
square feet of the demised Premises, or from failure of Tenant to keep all HVAC
vents within the Premises free of obstruction.
Section 8.2. Landlord's Liability. Landlord shall in no manner be liable for
any failure, inadequacy or defect in the character or supply of any utilities
which it is obligated to or does furnish to the Premises except for actual
damage suffered by Tenant by reason of any such failure, inadequacy or defect
caused by the negligence of Landlord.
ARTICLE 9
Various Covenants
Section 9.1. Various Covenants. Tenant shall:
(a) take good care of the Premises, keep clean any portion of the Premises
which Landlord is not obligated to clean, and pay the cost of any injury, damage
or breakage done by Tenant or by its employees, licensees or invitees (other
than any damage with respect to which Tenant is relieved from liability pursuant
to Section 12.2). Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at Landlord's
expense under the provisions of Section 1932(l), 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code
of California, and instead, all improvements, repairs and/or maintenance
expenses incurred on the Premises shall be at the expense of Tenant and shall be
considered as part of the consideration for rental;
(b) not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will
in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants
of the Building or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used
for any improper, immoral or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause,
commit or maintain or permit any nuisance or waste, in, on, or about the
Premises. Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner that in Landlord's
judgment would adversely affect or interfere with any services required to be
furnished by Landlord to Tenant or to any other tenant or occupant of the
Building, or with the proper and economical rendition of any such service;
(c) observe and comply with the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit C
and such other and further reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord at
any time may make and communicate to Tenant and which, in the reasonable
judgment of Landlord, shall be necessary or desirable for the operation,
maintenance, reputation or appearance of the Building; provided however, that in
the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and any such rule
or regulation, the provisions of this Lease shall control;
(d) make no claim against Landlord and Landlord shall not be liable or
responsible in any way for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord
with respect to or arising out of: injury or damage to any person or property in
or about the Premises by or from any cause whatsoever, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, whether caused by water leakage of any character
from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the Premises or the
7
Building, or caused by gas, fire, oil, electricity or any cause whatsoever in,
on, or about the Premises or the Building or the complex of which it is a part
of any part thereof, provided such injury or damage is not caused by Landlord's
or its agents negligence or willful misconduct;
Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against any
and all claims or liability for any damage to any property or injury, illness or
death of any person: (i) occurring in, on, or about the Premises or any part
thereof, and (ii) occurring in, on, or about any facilities (including, without
prejudice to the generality of the term "facilities", elevators, stairways,
passageways or hallways) the use of which Tenant may have in conjunction with
other tenants of the Building, when such injury or damage shall be caused in
part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault of, or omission of any duty with
respect to the same, by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, or invitees;
(e) make no alteration, change, addition, improvement, repair or replacement
in, to, or about, the Premises (a "Tenant Change") without the prior consent of
Landlord, and then only by Tenant or reputable contractors, and in a manner,
upon the terms and at times approved by Landlord, which consent and approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such alteration, addition, or
improvement to the Premises, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall
at once become a part of the realty and belong to Landlord. When applying for
any such consent, Tenant shall furnish complete plans and specifications and a
building permit covering the desired additions or alterations. Tenant shall pay
to Landlord upon demand a fee of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the cost
of any alteration, addition, or improvements to compensate Landlord for the cost
of review and approval of the plans and specifications. In the event Landlord
consents to the making of any such alteration, addition, or improvement by
Tenant, the same shall be made by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and
any contractor or person selected by Tenant to make the same must first be
approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall also obtain at its expense such
indemnification and/or bonds against, liens, costs, and damages and such
completion, performance and/or payment bonds, as Landlord considers necessary
with respect to such construction work. Tenant shall give Landlord at least
fifteen (15) days prior written notice of commencement of any work of
construction, alteration, maintenance, repair, replacement, installation,
removal or decoration undertaken by or for the Tenant in connection with the
Premises and such work shall be completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by Landlord, shall be carried out in a good workmanlike
and prompt manner, shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, orders or
requirements of any competent authority, and shall be subject to supervision by
Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors. If any alterations, additions
or improvements made by Tenant result in Landlord being required to make any
alterations to other portions of the Building in order to comply with any
applicable statutes, ordinances or regulations (e.g., "handicap ordinances")
then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in making such alterations. Upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the term as herein provided, Tenant shall upon demand by
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due
diligence remove any alterations, additions, or improvements made by Tenant,
designated by Landlord to be removed, and Tenant shall forthwith and with all
due diligence at its sole cost and expense repair and restore the Premises to
their original condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted;
(f) make no contract or employ any labor in connection with the maintenance,
cleaning or other servicing of the Premises (a "Tenant Service") without the
prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(g) not permit the use of any contractors, workmen, labor, material or
equipment in the performance of any Tenant Change or Tenant Service if the
thereof, in Landlord's
8
reasonable judgment, would disturb harmony with any trade engaged in performing
other work, labor or services in or about the Building;
(h) promptly and duly pay all costs and expenses incurred for or in connection
with any Tenant Change or Tenant Service, and discharge within 10 days by
payment, bonding or otherwise as provided by law any mechanic's or other lien
created against the Building or the Land in connection with any Tenant Change or
Tenant Service. Landlord reserves and shall have the right to enter upon the
Premises for the purpose of posting and maintaining such notices on the Premises
as may be necessary to protect Landlord against mechanic's, materialmen's or
other liens and any other notices that may be proper and necessary;
(i) not violate, or permit the violation of, any condition imposed by the
standard fire insurance policy issued for office buildings in the City or County
in which the Building is located, and not do, suffer or permit anything to be
done, or keep, suffer or permit anything to be kept, in the Premises which would
increase the fire or other casualty insurance rate on the Building or property
therein, or which would result in insurance companies of good standing refusing
to insure the Building or any such property in amounts and against risks as
reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time; provided, however, that if
insurance is available Tenant shall not be in default hereunder if Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the amount of any increase in the insurance premiums resulting
from any increase in the insurance rate;
(j) agree that no representations, except as contained herein or endorsed
hereon, have been made to Tenant respecting the conditions of the Premises and
the taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence
as against Tenant that the Premises are now in a tenantable and good condition;
(k) at the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease as to all or a
portion of the Premises, (i) terminate its occupancy of, and quit and surrender
to Landlord, the Premises broom-clean and in the same condition as received

casualty which shall not have been occasioned by the fault or neglect of Tenant
and (cc) any other loss or damage with respect to which Tenant is relieved from
liability pursuant to Section 12.2 and (ii) upon request by Landlord, remove any
Tenant's Property;
(l) indemnify and save harmless Landlord and its partners, officers,
directors, agents and employees (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against
all liability (statutory or otherwise), claims, suits, demands, damages,
judgments, costs, interest and expenses (including counsel fees and
disbursements incurred in the defense thereof) to which any Indemnitee may
(except insofar as it arises out of the fault or neglect of such Indemnitee) be
subject or suffer whether by reason of any claim for, any injury to, or death
of, any person or persons or damage to property (including any loss of use
thereof) or otherwise and arising from or in connection with the use by Tenant
of; or from any work or anything whatsoever done by Tenant (or any of its
officers, directors, agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees) in,
any part of the Premises (other than by Landlord or its agents or contractors)
during the term of this Lease or during the period of time, if any, prior to the
Term Commencement Date with respect to such part that Tenant may have been given
access to for the purpose of occupancy or doing work, or arising from any
condition of the Premises due to or resulting from any default by Tenant in the
keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in
this Lease or from any fault or neglect of Tenant or any of its officers,
directors, agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees.

ARTICLE 10
Compliance With Laws
Section 10.1 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with
any laws, statutes, and ordinances and all rules, orders or regulations of any
governmental authority or of the Board of Fire Underwriters (or any successor
thereto), at any time duly issued and in force, attributable to the use or
manner of use by Tenant of the Premises or any part thereof and Tenant shall at
its sole cost and expense promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances
and all rules, orders or regulations of any governmental authority or of the
Board of Fire Underwriters; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Section 10.1 shall require Tenant to make any structural changes unless the same
are necessitated by reason of the use by Tenant of the Premises for purposes
other than office purposes. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction
or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a
party thereto or not, that Tenant has so violated any laws, statutes, ordinances
or governmental rules, regulations or requirements, shall be conclusive of such
violation as between Landlord and Tenant.
ARTICLE 11
Assignment and Subletting
Section 11.1. Prohibition of Assignment, Etc. Tenant shall not, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld (a) assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this
Lease, the term and estate hereby granted or any interest hereunder; (b) permit
the Premises or any part thereof to be utilized by anyone other than Tenant
(whether as concessionaire, franchisee, licensee, permittee or otherwise) or (c)
except as hereinafter provided, sublet or offer or advertise for subletting the
Premises or any part thereof. Any assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance,
transfer or sublease without Landlord's consent shall be voidable and, at
Landlord's election, shall constitute a default. If Tenant is a corporation, any
dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the
sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of
Tenant or the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the assets of
Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. The phrase "controlling
percentage" means the ownership of, and the right to vote stock possessing fifty
percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the
election of directors. The preceding two sentences shall not apply to
corporations the stock of which is traded through an exchange or over the
counter. If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary,
involuntary, or by operation of law of any partner or partners owning fifty
percent (50%) or more of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership,
shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant consists of more than one
person, a purported assignment, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law,
by any one of the persons executing this Lease shall be deemed a voluntary
assignment. If at any time or from time to time during the term of this Lease,
Tenant desires to assign this Lease or any interest therein, then at least
thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the assignment to be
effective, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord setting forth the name,
address, and business of the proposed assignee, information (including
references) concerning the character of the proposed assignee, the effective
date of the assignment, and all the material terms and conditions of the
proposed assignment. Any such consent by Landlord shall not release Tenant from
any of Tenant's obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any
subsequent hypothecation, assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another
person. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to
the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the written consent of
Landlord.
10
Section 11.2. Subletting, Etc. If at any time or from time to time during the
term of this Lease, Tenant desires to sublet all or any part of the Premises,
then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the
subletting to be effective, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord setting forth
the name, address and business of the proposed subleasee, information (including
references) concerning the character of the proposed subleasee, a detailed
description of the space proposed to be sublet, any rights of the proposed
subtenant to use Tenant's improvements, the effective date of the proposed
subletting, and all the material terms and conditions of the proposed
subletting. Tenant shall be free to sublet such space to any third party subject
to the following conditions:
(a) The sublease shall be on the same terms set forth in the notice given to
Landlord;
(b) No sublease shall be made without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent Landlord agrees will not unreasonably be withheld as to a
subletting of the entire Premises;
(c) No sublease shall be valid and no subleasee shall take possession of the
Premises subleased until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been
delivered to Landlord;
(d) No subleasee shall have a right further to sublet this Lease;
(e) The proposed subleasee shall be a person or entity whose character and
business, in Landlord's good faith judgment, are consistent with the character
and standard of the building;
(f) The proposed subleasee, in Landlord's good faith judgment, shall be
financially responsible and capable of meeting the rent payment and other
financial obligations under the proposed sublease;
(g) One-half of any net profits received by Tenant as a result of such
subletting (wherein net profits shall take into account Tenant's rent and
additional rent costs paid to Landlord as well as its leasing costs to sublet
such space such as rent abatement, leasing commissions, marketing costs,
leasehold improvements and attorney fees which leasing costs shall be amortized
over the term of the sublease) whether denominated rentals under the sublease,
or otherwise, which exceed, in the aggregate, the total sums which Tenant is
obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations
allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease) shall be
payable to Landlord as additional rental under this Lease without affecting or
reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a statement within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year
in which any part of the term of this Lease occurs specifying as to such
calendar year, and within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier
termination of the term of this Lease specifying with respect to the elapsed
portion of the calendar year in which such expiration or termination occurs,
each sublease in effect during the period covered by such statement and, as to
each such sublease, (a) the date of its execution and delivery, the number of
square feet of the Rentable Area demised thereby and the term hereof, and (b) a
computation in reasonable detail showing (i) the amounts (if any) paid and
payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section with respect to such
sublease for the period covered by such statement and (ii) the amounts (if any)
paid and payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section with respect to
any payments received from a subleasee during such period but which relate to an
earlier period.
Section 11.3 Tenant's Obligations, Etc. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Tenant's obligation or alter the primary
liability of Tenant to pay the rental and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rental by Landlord from any
other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by
11
Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall
not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event
of default by any assignee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against
Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or
successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this
Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant,
without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its
or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability
under this Lease.
In the event Tenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent
of Landlord to any assignment or subletting or if Tenant shall request the
consent of Landlord for any act that Tenant proposes to do, then Tenant shall
pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith,
which shall not exceed S750.O0.
ARTICLE 12
Damage By Fire, Etc.
Section 12.1. Damage Generally. If any part of the Premises or the Building
shall be damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, or any other casualty, Tenant
shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall, if such damage
can with reasonable diligence be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days,
repair such damage in a manner and at times which do not unreasonably interfere
with Tenant's use of the Premises, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable.
If any part of the Premises shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such
damage, the fixed rent payable hereunder (and additional rent payable pursuant
to Article 3) shall be appropriately abated for the period from the date of such
damage to the date when such part of the Premises shall have been made
tenantable unless:
(a) Landlord shall make available to Tenant, during the period of such repair
other space in the Building which in the Tenant's reasonable opinion is suitable
for the temporary conduct of Tenant's business; or
(b) such fire or other casualty shall have resulted from the fault or neglect
of Tenant or its employees, licensees or invitees. Landlord shall not be liable
for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant
resulting in any way from such damage or the undertaking of such repair.
Landlord shall have no obligation to carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's
goods, furniture or furnishings or on Tenant's Property, and Landlord shall not
be obligated to repair any damage thereto or to replace the same.
In the event such repairs cannot with reasonable diligence be made within 120
days after such damage or if such damage results from the fault or neglect of
Tenant or its employees, licensees or invitees, Landlord may, at its option upon
written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of such
casualty, repair such damage within a reasonable time, in which case the fixed
rent and additional rent described in Article 3 shall be abated as provided
above, and this Lease shall otherwise continue in full force and effect. In the
event Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs or such repairs cannot be
made under such laws and regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option
of either party by written notice to the other party given not less than thirty-
one (31) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such damage. In the
event that the Building is destroyed to the extent of not less than thirty-three
and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may
elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not. A total
destruction of the Building shall terminate this Lease.
12
Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire,
earthquake, act of God, or any other casualty, or to make any repairs or
replacements, of any improvements installed in the Premises by or for Tenant,
except for the portion of such improvements the cost of which was borne by
Landlord and Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, repair and restore
its portion of such improvements. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the provisions of any
successor or other law of like import. If the Premises are to be repaired under
this Section, Landlord shall repair at his cost any injury or damage to the
Building itself. Tenant shall pay the cost of repairing any other tenant
improvements in the Premises.
Tenant at its cost shall maintain on its personal property, tenant improvements,
and alterations, in, on, or about the Premises, a policy of standard fire and
extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements,
to the extent of at least one hundred percent (100%) of their full replacement
value. The proceeds from any such policy shall be used by Tenant for the
replacement of personal property or the restoration of tenant improvements or
alterations.
The Building in which the Premises is located is a steel-frame office building,
and Landlord and Tenant understand and acknowledge that latent damage, including
cracks in the steel joints and supporting columns of the Building may have
occurred during the earthquake that occurred in the vicinity of the Building on
January 17, 1994. The City of Los Angeles has considered and continues to
consider imposing certain requirements for inspection, testing and/or repair, if
necessary, to steel-frame buildings within the City of Los Angeles that may have
been damaged structurally by the aforesaid earthquake. Landlord hereby advises
Tenant that Landlord has consulted with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Associates, who were
the structural engineers assisting in connection with the construction of the
Building, and have retained Englekirk & ▇▇▇▇▇, Consulting Engineers.
In the event that during the term of this Lease additional inspections, testing
and/or repairs or reconstruction is required by the City of Los Angeles or other
governmental authority, or in the event that Landlord elects to undertake any
such inspection, testing or repairs or reconstruction (collectively the "Work")
upon the recommendation of its engineers, Landlord shall give notice thereof to
Tenant and shall use its best efforts not to unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's use of the Premises in connection with the Work. If any part of the
Premises shall be rendered untenatable by reason of such Work by Landlord, the
fixed rent payable hereunder (and additional rent payable pursuant to Article 3
and parking charges) shall be proportionately abated for the period from the
commencement of such Work to the date when such untenantable part of the
Premises shall be again tenantable. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall cooperate
fully with Landlord in connection with the Work and shall make the Premises
available for the Work upon request by Landlord. If available and if requested
by Tenant, Landlord shall make available to Tenant during the period of such
Work other space in the Building which in the Tenant's reasonable opinion is
suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant's business; however, if such
temporary space is smaller than the Premises, then Tenant shall pay monthly
fixed rent and additional rent for the temporary space based upon their then
existing rate per rentable square foot for the Premises times the number of
rentable square feet in the temporary space. Under no circumstances shall Tenant
have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of the Work by Landlord as
provided herein. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any
interruption, interference or disruption of the business conducted by Tenant at
the Premises as a result of the Work and hereby releases Landlord from any claim
which Tenant may have against Landlord arising from or relating to, directly or
indirectly, the performance of the Work by Landlord.
Section 12.2. Release. Landlord hereby releases Tenant from any liability which
Tenant might otherwise have to Landlord for any damage to the Building or the
Premises by fire or
13
other casualty to the extent that damage is completely insured by Landlord under
a policy or policies of insurance permitting such release by Landlord. This
provision shall not operate to release Tenant for liability to the extent of the
deductible portion of Landlord's insurance.
Section 12.3. Express Agreement. This Lease shall be considered an express
agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or the
Premises by fire or other casualty, and any law which purports to govern the
rights of Landlord and Tenant in such a contingency in the absence of express
agreement, and any successor or other law of like import, shall have no
application.
ARTICLE 13
Condemnation
Section 13.1. Condemnation. In the event that the whole of the Premises is
lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use,
this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and
terminate as of the earlier of the date of vesting of title in such condemnation
or taking or the date of taking of possession by the condemning authority. In
the event that only a part of the Premises shall be so condemned or taken, then
the term and estate hereby granted with respect to such part shall forthwith
cease and terminate as of the earlier of the date of vesting of title in such
condemnation or taking or the date of taking of possession by the condemning
authority, and the fixed rent payable hereunder (and additional rent payable
pursuant to Article 3) shall be appropriately abated for the period from the
date of such vesting of title to the date specified in this Lease for the
expiration of the term hereof. If only a part of the Building shall be so
condemned or taken, then Landlord shall, or to the extent of the proceeds of the
condemnation payable to Landlord and with reasonable diligence, restore the
remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its condition
prior to such condemnation or taking; provided, that if such proceeds constitute
less than ninety percent (90%) of Landlord's estimate of the cost of rebuilding
or restoration, then Landlord may terminate this Lease on notice to Tenant.
Section 13.2. Award. In the event of any condemnation or taking of all or a part
of the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the
condemnation proceeding, including any award made for the value of the estate
vested by this Lease in Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and
all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any
such award or any part thereof, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part
of such award; provided, however, that nothing shall preclude Tenant from
intervening in any such condemnation proceeding to claim or receive from the
condemning authority any compensation to which Tenant may otherwise lawfully be
entitled in such case in respect of Tenant's property or for moving to a new
location.
Section 13.3 Condemnation for a Limited Period. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 13.1 and 13.2, if all or any portion of the Premises shall be
condemned or taken for governmental occupancy for a limited period, this Lease
shall not terminate, there shall be no abatement of fixed or additional rent
payable hereunder and Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award
therefor (whether paid as damages, rent or otherwise) unless the period of
governmental occupancy extends beyond the expiration of this Lease, in which
case Landlord shall be entitled to such part of such award as shall be properly
allocable to the cost of restoration of the Premises, and the balance of such
award shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such
expiration. If the termination of such governmental occupancy is prior to
expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall, to the extent an award has been made for
the purpose after application for and diligent pursuit of such award
14
by Tenant, restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition in which
they were prior to the condemnation or taking.
ARTICLE 14
Accidents To Sanitary And Other Systems
Section 14.1 Damaged or Defective Systems. Tenant shall give to Landlord prompt
notice of any damage to, or defective condition in, any part or appurtenance of
the Building's sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning, ventilating or
other systems serving, located in or passing through, the Premises, and the
damage or defective condition shall be remedied by Landlord with reasonable
diligence; provided, however, that if such damage or defective condition (other
than any such damage with respect to which Tenant is relieved from liability
pursuant to Section 12.2) was caused by, or is attributed to, Tenant Changes or
the unreasonable or improper use of such system by Tenant or its employees,
licensees or invitees, the cost of the remedy thereof shall be paid by Tenant
upon demand. Tenant shall not be entitled to claim any damages arising from any
such damage or defective condition unless the same shall have been caused by the
negligence of Landlord in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or the
Building and the same shall not have been remedied by Landlord with reasonable
diligence after notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord; and Tenant shall not be
entitled to claim any eviction by reason of any such damage or defective
condition unless the same shall have been caused by the negligence of Landlord
in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Building and shall have
rendered the Premises untenantable and the Premises shall not have been made
tenantable by Landlord within a reasonable time after notice thereof by Tenant
to Landlord.
ARTICLE 15
Mortgage Subordination; Attornment
Section 15.1. Subordination. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted
are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of each mortgage which may
now or at any time hereafter affect Landlord's interest in the Building and/or
the land thereunder (an "underlying mortgage"), regardless of the interest rate,
the terms of repayment, the use of the proceeds or any other provision of any
such mortgage. Tenant shall from time to time execute and deliver such
instruments as Landlord or the holder of any such mortgage may reasonably
request to confirm the subordination provided in this Section 15.1.
Section 15.2. Attornment. Tenant confirms that if by reason of a default under
an underlying mortgage the interest of Landlord in the Premises is terminated,
Tenant shall attorn to the holder of the reversionary interest in the Premises
and shall recognize such holder as Tenant's landlord under this Lease. Tenant
shall execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request
of Landlord or of the holder of an underlying mortgage any instrument which may
be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment and Tenant hereby
irrevocably appoints Landlord or such holder as its attorney-in-fact to execute
and deliver for and on behalf of Tenant any such instrument.
ARTICLE 16
Notices
Section 16.1. Notices. Any notice, consent, approval, agreement, certification,
request, ▇▇▇▇, demand, statement, acceptance or other communication hereunder (a
"notice") shall be in writing and shall have been duly given or furnished if
delivered personally or mailed in a
15
postpaid envelope registered, certified or otherwise, with or without return
receipt) addressed to Landlord as set forth in the Basic Lease Information and
to Tenant at the Premises (or Tenant's address in the Basic Lease Information
if mailed prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises), or to such other address
or addressee as either party may designate by a notice given pursuant hereto.
Tenant hereby appoints as its agent to receive the service of all dispossessory
or distraint proceedings and notices thereunder the person in charge of or
occupying the Premises at the time, and if no person shall be in charge of or
occupy the same, then such service may be made by attaching the same to the main
entrance of the Premises.
ARTICLE 17
Right to Perform Tenant's Covenants, Etc.
Section 17.1. Tenant's Default. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord
may cure the same at the expense of Tenant:
(a) immediately and without notice in the case of emergency or in case such
default unreasonably interferes with the use by any other tenant in the Building
or with the efficient operation of the Building or will result in a violation of
law or in a cancellation of an insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and
(b)in any other case if such default continues after fifteen (15) days from
the date of the giving by Landlord to Tenant of notice of Landlord's intention
so to perform the same, or, in the case of such a default which for causes
beyond Tenant's reasonable control cannot with due diligence be cured within
such fifteen (15) day period, such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed
extended if Tenant:
(i) shall immediately upon the receipt of such notice advise Landlord of
Tenant's intention to institute all steps necessary to cure such default, and
(ii) shall institute and thereafter with reasonable dispatch prosecute to
completion all steps necessary to cure the same.
Section 17.2. Certain Payments. Bills for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with any performance by it under Section 17.1
shall be payable on demand, and shall be deemed additional rent hereunder.
Section 17.3. Certain Waivers. If Tenant is in default in payment of fixed rent
or additional rent, Tenant waives Tenant's right, if any, to designate the items
against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may
apply any payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit.
Section 17.4. Certain Rent. If any cost, expense, charge, amount or sum (other
than fixed rent) payable by Tenant as provided in this Lease is not paid when
due, the same shall be due and payable by Tenant as additional rent hereunder.
Section 17.5. Interest, Etc. Every installment of rent and every other payment
due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord which shall not be paid within ten (10)
days after the same shall have become due and payable shall bear interest at the
rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, or if a higher rate is legally
permissible, at the highest rate legally permitted from the date that the same
became due and payable and until paid, whether or not demand be made therefor.
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and every
other payment due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated
by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs
19
include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges
that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured
by any encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent
and other payment due hereunder from Tenant is not received by Landlord within
five (5) days after written notice is given to Tenant of when same is due,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand an additional sum equal to five percent
(5%) of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that this late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will
incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall
not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount,
or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies
available to Landlord.
ARTICLE 18
Estoppel Certificates
Section 18.1. Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time but on
not less than ten (10) days prior written request by Landlord, Tenant will
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, promptly upon request, a
certificate certifying:
(a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there
have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as
modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification);
(b) the date, if any, to which rental and other sums payable hereunder have
been paid;
(c) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default which has not
been cured, except as to defaults specified in the certificate;
(d) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease or, if so, specifying
such default; and
(e) such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Any such
certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or
beneficiary under any deed of trust of the Building or any part thereof.
If Tenant fails to deliver the certificate within ten (10) days, the Tenant
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as its special attorney-in-fact to
execute and deliver the certificate to any third party.
ARTICLE 19
Events of Default
Section 19.1. Events of Default. This Lease and the terms and estate hereby
granted are subject to the limitation that:
(a) in case Tenant shall default in the parent of any fixed rent or additional
rent on any date upon which the same becomes due, or
(b) in case Tenant shall abandon or vacate the Premises, or
(c) in case Tenant shall default in the keeping, observance or performance of
any covenant or agreement set forth in Article 6 or in paragraph (e), (h) or (i)
of Section 9.1, and if such
20
default shall continue and shall not be cured by Tenant within three (3) days
after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or
(d) in case Tenant shall default in the keeping, observance or performance of
any covenant or agreement including any provisions of the rules and regulations
referred to in Section 9.1 (c) (other than a default of the character referred
to in paragraphs (a) (b)or (c) of this Section 19.1), and if such default shall
continue and shall not be cured by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after
Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the
case of such a default which for causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control
(including occupancy of a subleasee) cannot with due diligence be cured within
such period of fifteen (15) days, if Tenant (i) shall not, promptly upon the
giving of such notice, advise the Landlord of Tenant's intention duly to
institute all steps necessary to cure such default or (ii) shall not duly
institute and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps

ARTICLE 20
Damages; Remedies; Re-Entry By Landlord; Etc.
Section 20.1 Damages. In the event of any termination of this Lease pursuant
to Article 19 (a "Default Termination"),
(a) Landlord may recover from Tenant the total of:
(i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid fixed rent and
additional rent earned to the date of such Default Termination;
(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
fixed rent and additional rent which would have been earned after the
date of such Default Termination until the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided;
(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid fixed rent and additional rent which would have been earned for
the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided;
(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all of the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to observe or perform
any of its covenants and agreements under this Lease or which in the
ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom, including,
without limitation, the payment of the reasonable expenses incurred or
paid by Landlord in re-entering and securing possession of the Premises
and in the reletting thereof (including, without limitation, altering and
preparing the Premises for new tenants and brokers' commission); and
(v) 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 California laws.
(b) The "worth at the time of award" is computed (i) in paragraphs (a)(i)
and (ii) above, by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum (but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law) and
(ii) in paragraph (a)(iii) above, 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%).
(c) For purposes of computing unpaid rental which would have accrued and
become payable under this Lease, unpaid rental shall consist of the sum of:
(i) the total fixed rent for the balance of the term, plus
(ii) a computation of the Tenant's Share of additional rent due under
the Lease including, without limitation, Tenant's share of operating
expenses (including real estate taxes) for the balance of the term. For
purposes of computing increases such additional rent for the calendar
year of the default and each future calendar year in the term shall be
assumed to be equal to the additional rent for the calendar year prior to
the year in which default occurs compounded at a rate equal to the mean
average rate of inflation for the preceding five calendar years as
determined by the United States Department of Labor,
22
Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers, all
items, 1982-84 equals 100) for the metropolitan area or region of which Los
Angeles, California is a part. If such index is discontinued or revised, the
average rate of inflation shall be determined by reference to the index
designated as the successor or substitute index by the government of the
United States.
Section 20.2. Re-Entry by Landlord.
(a) In the event of any Default Termination or if any default specified in
paragraphs (a) through (f) of Section 19.1 shall have occurred and be continuing
beyond the period of grace (if any) therefor, Landlord or Landlord's authorized
representatives may re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and all
property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable
action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or
damages therefor, and repossess and enjoy the Premises. No re-entry or
repossession of the Premises by Landlord or its representatives under this
Section 20.2 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
notice of such election is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is
decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The words "re-enter", "re-entry"
and "re-entering" as used herein are not restricted to their technical legal
meanings.
(b) In the event any default specified in paragraphs (a) through (f) of
Section 19.1 shall have occurred and be continuing beyond the period of grace
(if any) therefor, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease
Landlord may, from time to time and without terminating this Lease, enforce all
its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the
fixed rent and additional rent as the same becomes payable by Tenant hereunder.
In the event Landlord so elects, Tenant shall have the right to sublet the
Premises or any part thereof upon obtaining Landlord's prior consent (which
consent Landlord agrees will not be unreasonably withheld) and upon first
complying with the provisions of Section 11. So long as Landlord is exercising
this remedy it will not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises,
but it may engage in the acts permitted by Section 1951.4(c) of the California
Civil Code.
(c) If Tenant abandons the Premises in breach of this Lease, Landlord shall
have the right to relet the Premises or any part thereof on such terms and
conditions and at such rentals as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem
advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs in and to the Premises
necessary to reletting. If Landlord so elects to relet, then gross rentals
received by Landlord from the reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment
of the reasonable expenses incurred or paid by the Landlord in re-entering and
securing possession of the Premises and in the reletting thereof (including,
without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants and
brokers' commissions); second, to the payment of the fixed rent and additional
rent payable by Tenant hereunder; and third, the remainder, if any, to be
retained by Landlord and applied to the payment of future fixed rent and
additional rent as the same become due. Should the gross rentals received by
Landlord from the reletting be insufficient to pay in full the sums stated in
clauses first and second above, Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the deficiency to
Landlord.
Section 20.3. Certain Waivers. Tenant waives and surrenders all right and
privilege which it might have under or by reason of any present or future law to
redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereof
after Tenant is dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the
terms of this Lease. Tenant also waives the provisions of any law relating to
notice and/or delay in levy of execution in case of an eviction or dispossession
for nonpayment of rent, and of any successor or other law of like import.
Section 20.4. Cumulative Remedies. The remedies of Landlord provided for in this
Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies
to which Landlord
23
may be lawfully entitled. The exercise by Landlord of any remedy to which it is
entitled shall not preclude or hinder the exercise of any other such remedy.

ARTICLE 27
Option to Extend Term
Section 27.1. Option to Extend Term. Tenant is given the option to extend the
term for a 5-year period ("Extended Term") following expiration of the initial
term, by giving written notice of exercise of the option ("Option Notice") to
Landlord at least nine (9) months before the expiration of the term. Commencing
on the first day of the Extended Term Tenant shall pay Landlord ninety-five
percent (95%) of the fair market value of the Premises for the extended Term.
The fair market value shall include but not be limited to all economic benefits
to Landlord such as monthly rent, periodic rent adjustments, expense
reimbursements, and all other monetary consideration, exclusive of any and all
concessions being given in the market place, which constitutes a part of the
fair market value of the Premises at the time of the expiration of the initial
term of the Lease that is chargeable for similar use for comparable space in the
geographic area of the Premises.
If Tenant is in default on the date of giving the Option Notice, the Option
Notice shall be totally ineffective, or if Tenant is in default on the date the
Extended Term is to commence, the Extended Term shall not commence and this
Lease shall expire at the end of the initial term.
The parties shall have 30 days after Landlord receives the Option Notice in
which to agree on fair market value during the Extended Term If the parties
agree on the fair market value for the Extended Term during that period, they
shall immediately execute an amendment to the Lease stating the fair market
value.
If the parties are unable to agree on the fair market value for the Extended
Term within that period, then within 10 days after the expiration of that period
each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a
real estate appraiser with at least 5 years full-time commercial appraisal
experience in the area in which the Premises are located to appraise and set the
fair market value for the Extended Term. If the two appraisers are appointed by
the parties as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to
set the fair market value for the Extended Term. If they are unable to agree
within 30 days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt
to elect a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph
within 10 days after the last day the two appraisers are given to set the fair
market value. Each of the parties shall bear one half of the cost of appointing
the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser's fee. The third
appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in
any capacity for either party.
Within 30 days after the selection of the third appraiser, a majority of the
appraisers shall set the fair market value for the Extended Term. If a majority
of the appraisers are unable to set the fair market value within the stipulated
period of time, the three appraisals shall be added together and their total
divided by three; the resulting quotient shall be the fair market value for the
Premises during the Extended Term.
In setting the fair market value for the Extended Term, the appraiser or
appraisers shall consider the use to which the Premises are restricted under
this Lease, and shall not consider the highest and best use for the Premises
without regard to the restriction on use of the Premises contained in this
Lease.
If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are/is more than 10%
lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high
appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded, the
remaining two appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two;
the resulting quotient shall be the fair market value for
26
the Premises during the Extended Term. If both the low appraisal and the high
appraisal are disregarded as stated in this paragraph, the middle appraisal
shall be the fair marker value for the Premises during the Extended Term.
After the fair market value for the Extended Term has been set, the appraisers
shall immediately notify the parties. If Tenant objects to the fair market value
that has been set, Tenant shall have the right to have this Lease expire at the
end of the term, provided that Tenant pays all the costs in connection with the
appraisal procedure that set the fair market value. Tenant's election to allow
this Lease to expire at the end of the term must be exercised within 10 days
after receipt of notice from the appraisers of the fair market value for the
Extended Term. If Tenant does not exercise its election within the 10-day
period, the term of this Lease shall be extended as provided in this paragraph.
Tenant shall have no other right to extend the term beyond the Extended Term.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease as of
the day and year first above written.
