DATE: This Lease is made and entered into as of the Lease Date set forth on
Page 1. 'Me Basic Lease Information set forth on Page I and this Lease
are and shall be construed as a single instrument.
1. Premises: Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and
conditions contained herein. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license for die
right to use, on a non-exclusive basis, parking areas and ancillary facilities
located within the Common Areas of the Park, subject to the terms of this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease, as of the
Lease Date, the rentable square footage area of the Premises, the Building, the
Lot and the Park shall be deemed to be the number of rentable square feet as set
forth in the Basic Lease Information on Page 1. Tenant hereby acknowledges that
the rentable square footage of the Premises may include a proportionate share of
certain areas used in common by all occupants of the Building and/or die Park
(for example an electrical room or telephone room). Tenant further agrees that
the number of rentable square feet of the Building, the Lot and die Park may
subsequently change after the Lease Date commensurate with any modifications to
any of the foregoing by Landlord, and Tenant's Share shall accordingly change.
2. Adjustment of Commencement Date; Condition of the Premises:
2.1 If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises on the Commencement
Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of
the Lease be affected; provided, the Lease Term and the obligation to pay Rent
shall commence on the date possession is tendered and the Expiration Date shall
be extended commensurately. In the event the commencement date and/or the
expiration date of this Lease is other than the Commencement Date and/or
Expiration Date provided on Page 1, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant
shall execute a written amendment to this Lease, substantially in the form of
Exhibit F hereto, wherein the parties shall specify the actual commencement
date, expiration date and the date on which Tenant is to commence paying Rent.
The word "Term" whenever used herein refers to the initial term of this Lease
and any extension thereof By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be
deemed to have accepted die Premises in good condition and state of repair.
Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord's
agents or representatives has made any representations or warranties as to the
suitability, safety or fitness of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's
business, Tenant's intended use of the Premises or for any other purpose. Tenant
agrees that at any time before or during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall
have the right to relocate Tenant from the Premises described herein to other
space within the Park on substantially the same terms and conditions of this
Lease provided the other space is of comparable size.
2.2 In the event Landlord permits Tenant to occupy die Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be at Tenant's sole risk and subject to
all the provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the requirement
to pay Rent and the Security Deposit, and to obtain the insurance required
pursuant to this Lease and to deliver insurance certificates as required herein.
In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall have the fight to impose such
additional conditions on Tenant's early entry as Landlord shall deem
appropriate. If, at any time, Tenant is in default of any term, condition or
provision of this Lease, any such waiver by Landlord of Tenant's requirement to
pay rental payments shall be null and void and Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord all rental payments so waived by Landlord.
3. Rent: On the date that Tenant executes this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord the original executed Lease, the Base Rent (which shall be applied
against the Rent payable for the first month Tenant is required to pay Base
Rent), the Security Deposit, and all insurance certificates evidencing the
insurance required to be obtained by Tenant under Section 12 of this Lease.
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, without prior notice or demand, or abatement,
offset, deduction or claim, the Base Rent described in the Basic Lease
Information, payable in advance at Landlord's address -specified in
the Basic
Lease Information on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day
of each month throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease. In addition to
the Base Rent set forth in the Basic Lease Information, Tenant shall pay
Landlord in advance on die Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st)
day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease, as
Additional Rent, Tenant's Share of Increased Operating Expenses, Increased Tax
Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs, Utility Expenses and Administrative
Expenses. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder,
immediately on Landlord's demand therefor, any and all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease, including, but not
limited to, costs associated with the delivery of notices, delivery and
recordation of notice(s) of default, attorneys' fees, expert fees, court costs
and filing fees (collectively, the "Enforcement Expenses"), The term "Rent"
whenever used herein refers to the aggregate of all these amounts. If Landlord
permits Tenant to occupy the Premises without requiring Tenant to pay rental
payments for a period of time, the waiver of the requirement to pay rental
payments shall only apply to waiver of the Base Rent and Tenant shall otherwise
perform all other obligations of Tenant required hereunder. The Rent for any
fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or termination of the
Lease term shall be a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month
based upon a thirty (30) day month. The prorated Rent shall be paid on die
Commencement Date and die first day of the calendar month in which the date of
termination occurs, as the case may be.
4. Security Deposit: Upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord, as a Security Deposit for the performance by Tenant of its
obligations under this Lease, the amount specified in the Basic Lease
Information. If Tenant is in default, Landlord may, but without obligation to do
so, use the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to cure the default or to
compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord resulting from
Tenant's default, including, but not limited to the Enforcement Expenses. Tenant
shall, immediately on demand, pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the
Security Deposit so applied or used so as to replenish the amount of die
Security Deposit held to increase such deposit to the amount initially deposited
with Landlord. At any time after Tenant has defaulted hereunder, Landlord may
require an increase in the amount of the Security Deposit required hereunder for
the then balance of the Lease Term and Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay
to Landlord additional sums in the amount of such increase. As soon as
practicable after the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the
Security Deposit to Tenant, less such amounts as arc reasonably necessary, as
determined solely by Landlord, to remedy Tenant's default(s) hereunder or to
otherwise restore the Premises to a clean and safe condition, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. If the cost to restore the Premises exceeds the amount of the
Security Deposit, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord any and all of such
excess sums as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall not be required
to keep the Security Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise
required by law, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security
Deposit. In no event or circumstance shall Tenant have the right to any use of
the Security Deposit and, specifically, Tenant may not use the Security Deposit
as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required hereunder, including,
but not limited to, Rent or any portion thereof.
5. Tenant Improvements: Tenant hereby accepts the Premises as suitable for
Tenant's intended use and as being in good operating order, condition and
repair, "AS IS". Tenant acknowledges and agrees that neither Landlord nor any of
Landlord's agents, representatives or employees has made any representations as
to die suitability, fitness or condition of the Premises for the conduct of
Tenant's business or for any other purpose, including without limitation, any
storage incidental thereto. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that neither
Landlord nor any of Landlord's agents, representatives or employees has agreed
to perform or undertake (i) any alterations to the Premises, or (ii) construct
any improvements in or to the Premises (collectively, "Tenant Improvements").

agreement by both parties.

Increased Operating Expenses shall be reviewed from time to time by Landlord and
shall be subject to modification by Landlord if there is a change in the
rentable square footage of the Premises, the Building and/or the Park.

purpose of calculating the amount of the Operating Expenses attributable to the
Base Year, the term Operating Expenses shall exclude any costs of any capital
improvements or expenditures, and any market-wide labor-rate increases due to

one-twelfth (1/12th) of this estimated amount shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, on the first (1st) day of each month and
throughout the remaining months of such calendar year. Thereafter, Landlord may
estimate such expenses as of the beginning of each calendar year and Tenant
shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount as Additional Rent
hereunder on the first day of each month during such calendar year and for each
ensuing calendar year throughout the Term of this Lease. Tenant's obligations to
pay Tenant's Share of Increased Operating Expenses and Increased Tax Expenses
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.4 Annual Reconciliation: By June 30th of each calendar year, or as soon

an accounting of actual Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses. Within thirty (30)
days of Landlord's delivery of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the

credit the amount of any overpayment by Tenant toward the next estimated monthly
installment(s) falling due, or where the Term of the Lease has expired, refund
the amount of overpayment to Tenant. If the Term of the Lease expires prior to
the annual reconciliation of expenses Landlord shall have the right to
reasonably estimate Tenant's Share of such expenses, and if Landlord determines
that an underpayment is due, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall be
entitled to deduct such underpayment from Tenant's Security Deposit. If Landlord
reasonably determines that an overpayment has been made by Tenant, Landlord
shall refund said overpayment to Tenant as soon as practicable thereafter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure of Landlord to accurately estimate
Tenant's Share of such expenses or to otherwise perform such reconciliation of
expenses,. including without limitation, Landlord's failure to deduct any
portion of any underpayment from Tenant's Security Deposit, shall not constitute
a waiver of Landlord's right to collect any of Tenant's underpayment at any time
during the Term of the Lease or at any time after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
6.5 Audit: After delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any accountant designated
by it, shall have the right to examine and/or audit the books and records
evidencing such costs and expenses for the previous one (1) calendar year,
during Landlord's reasonable business hours but not more frequently than once
during any calendar year. Any such accounting firm designated by Tenant may not
be compensated on a contingency fee basis. The results of any such audit (and
any negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be maintained
strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting firm and shall not be
disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to any other party other than to
Landlord and its authorized agents. Landlord and Tenant shall use their best
efforts to cooperate in such negotiations and to promptly resolve any
discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the accounting of such costs and
expenses.
7. Utilities and Administrative Expenses: The Utility Expenses, Common Area
Utility Costs, Administrative Expenses and all other sums or charges set forth
in this Section 7 arc considered part of Additional Rent, and as a net charge.
As such Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the Administrative
Expenses and Tenant's Share, which is specified in the Basic Lease Information,
of the Utility Expenses and Common Area Utility Costs on the Commencement Date
and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of
the Term of this Lease in the manner set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 below.
7.1 Utilities: In addition to the Base Rent set forth in Section 3 hereof,
Tenant shall pay the cost of all water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and
sewer connection fees, gas, heat, electricity, refuse pickup, janitorial
service, telephone and other utilities billed or metered separately to the
Premises and/or Tenant. Tenant shall also pay Tenant's Share of any assessments
or charges for utility or similar purposes included within any tax xxxx for the
Lot on which the Premises are situated, including, without limitation,
entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, and/or any similar fees or charges, and
any penalties related thereto. For any such utility fees or use charges that are
not billed or metered separately to Tenant, including without limitation, water
and refuse pick-up charges, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
without prior notice or demand, on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the
first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease
the amount which is attributable to Tenant's use of the utilities or similar
services, as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord based upon factors
such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant
such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent
with Tenant's use of such utilities and similar services ("Utility Expenses").
If Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination, then Tenant shall either
pay the estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at
Tenant's sole expense. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Share
of any Common Area utility costs, fees, charges or expenses ("Common Area
Utility Costs"). Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
estimated amount of Tenant's Share of the Common Area Utility Costs on the
Commencement Date and thereafter on
the first (lst) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this
Lease and any reconciliation thereof shall be substantially in the same manner
as specified in Section 6.4 above, to the extent applicable. The amount of
Tenant's Share of Common Area Utility Costs shall be reviewed from time to time
by Landlord and shall be subject to modification by Landlord if there is a
change in the rentable square footage of the Premises, the Building and/or the
Park. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may become subject to the rationing
of utility services or restrictions on utility use as required by a public
utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction
thereof Notwithstanding any such rationing or restrictions on use of any such
utility services, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its tenancy and occupancy
hereunder shall be subject to such rationing restrictions as may be imposed upon
Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, the Building or the Park, and Tenant shall in no
event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or
performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions. Tenant
further agrees to timely and faithfully pay, prior to delinquency, any amount,
tax, charge, surcharge, assessment or imposition levied, assessed or imposed
upon the Premises or Tenant's use and occupancy thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if permitted by applicable Laws,
Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term
of this Lease to either contract for service from a different company or
companies (each such company shall be referred to herein as an "Alternate
Service Provider") other than the company or companies presently providing
electricity service for the Building or the Park (the "Electric Service
Provider") or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service
Provider, at Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant hereby agrees to cooperate with
Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider at
all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, the Electric
Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the
Building's electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery
within the Premises.
7.2 Administrative Expenses: The Administrative Expenses set forth in this
Section 7.2 are considered part of Additional Rent, and as a net charge. In
addition to the Base Rent set forth in Section 3 hereof, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, without prior notice or demand, commencing on the Commencement Date
and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the
balance of the Term of this Lease, as compensation to Landlord for accounting
and management services rendered on behalf of the Building and/or the Park,
one-twelfth (1/12th) of an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the estimated
amount of the aggregate of the Tenant's Share of (i) the total Operating
Expenses and Tax Expenses as described in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above,
respectively, and (ii) all Common Area Utility Costs for the Park and Utility
Expenses for the Premises as described in Section 7.1 (collectively, the
"Administrative Expenses"). Any reconciliation of the Administrative Expenses
shall be substantially in the same manner as specified in Section 6.4 above, to
the extent such provisions are applicable. Tenant's obligations to pay such
Administrative Expenses shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
8. Late Charges: Any and all sums or charges set forth in this Section 8 are
considered part of Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment (the
second day of each month or any time thereafter) by Tenant to Landlord of Base
Rent, Tenant's Share of Increased Operating Expenses, Increased Tax Expenses,
Common Area Utility Costs, and Utility Expenses, Administrative Expenses or
other sums 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 include, without limitation, processing and
accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any note secured by any encumbrance against the Premises, and late
charges and penalties due to the late payment of real property taxes on the
Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant
is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord all
of the following, as applicable: (a) an additional sum equal to ten percent
(10%) of such delinquent amount plus interest on such delinquent amount at the
rate equal to the prime rate plus three percent (3%) for the time period such
payments are delinquent as a late charge for every month or portion thereof that
such sums remain unpaid, (b) the amount of seventy-five dollars ($75) for each
three-day notice prepared for, or served on, Tenant, (c) the amount of fifty
dollars ($50) relating to checks for which there are not sufficient funds. If
Tenant delivers to Landlord a check for which there are not sufficient funds,
Landlord may, at its sole option, require Tenant to replace such check with a
cashier's check for the amount of such check and all other charges payable
hereunder. The parties agree that this late charge and the other charges
referenced above represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that
Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late
charge or other charges shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant's
default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord for any
other breach of Tenant under this Lease. If a late charge or other charge
becomes payable for any three (3) installments of Rent within any twelve (12)
month period, then Landlord, at Landlord's sole option, can either require the
Rent be paid quarterly in advance, or be paid monthly in advance by cashier's
check or by electronic funds transfer.
9. Use of Premises
9.1 Compliance with Laws, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations: The
Premises are to be used solely for the purposes and uses specified in the Basic
Lease Information and for no other uses or purposes without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so
long as the proposed use (i) does not involve the use of Hazardous Materials
other than as expressly permitted under the provisions of Xxxxxxx 00 xxxxx, (xx)
does not require any additional parking in excess of the parking spaces already
licensed to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 24 of this Lease, and
(iii) is compatible and consistent with the other uses then being made in the
Park and in other similar types of buildings in the vicinity of the Park, as
reasonably determined by Landlord. The use of the Premises by Tenant and its
employees, representatives, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, customers
or contractors (collectively, *Tenant's Representatives") shall be subject to,
and at all times in compliance with, (a) any and all applicable laws,
ordinances, statutes, orders and regulations as same exist from time to time

Lease, Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means in which case upon delivery of written notice by Landlord this
Lease shall terminate on the date specified by Landlord in such notice and
Tenant shall inunediatcly surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In
addition, the Landlord shall have the immediate right of re-cntry whether or not
this Lease is terminated, and if this right of re-entry is exercised following
abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord may consider any personal
property belonging to Tenant and left on die Premises to also have been
abandoned. No rc-cntry or taking posseslion of the Premises by Landlord pursuant
to this Section 21 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. If Landlord rclets
the Premises or any portion thcrcof, (i) Tenant shall be liable immediately to
Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in relating die Premises or any pan
thereof, including, without limitation, broker's comni@issions, expenses of
cleaning, redecorating, and further improving the Premises and other similar
costs (collectively, the "Reletting Costs"), and (ii) the rent received by
Landlord from such reletting shall be applied to die payment of, first, any
indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Base Rent, Increased Operating
Expenses, Increased Tax Expenses, Administrative Expenses, Common Area Utility
Costs, and Utility Expenses; second, all costs including maintenance, incurred
by Landlord in reletting; and, third, Base Rent, Increased Operating Expenses,
Increased Tax Expenses, Administrative Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs,
Utility Expenses, and all other sums due under this Lease. Any and all of the
Relating Costs shall be fully chargeable to Tenant and shall not be prorated or
otherwise amortized in relation to any new lease for the Premises or any portion
thereof. After deducting the payments referred to above, any sum remaining from
the rental Landlord receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord and
applied in payment of future Rent as Rent becomes due under this Lease. In no
event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord.
Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining tern of this
Lease. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall
terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the
appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession. So long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the
right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to
cause a receiver to be appointed to administer die Premises and new or existing
subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord's reasonable
costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law froni the

Landlord as a result of Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder,
including, but not limited
to, the portion of any brokees or leasing agent's commission incurred with
respect to the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for the balance of die Term of
the Lease remaining after the date on which Tenant is in default of its
obligations hereunder, and all Reletting Costs, and the worth at the time of the
award (computed in accordance with paragraph (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section
1.951.2 of the California Civil Code) of the amount by which the Rent then
unpaid hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds the amount of such
loss of Rent for the same period which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided
by Landlord and in such case, Landlord prior to the award, may rclct the
Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by Landlord because of
Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder-, provided, however, that
even though Tenant has abandoned the Premises following such breach, this Lease
shall nevertheless continue in full force and cffcct for as long as Landlord
does not terminate Tenant's right of possession, and until such termination,
Landlord shall have the rcmedy described in Section 1951.4 of the California
Civil Code (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and
abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and may enforce all
its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the
Rent from Tenant as it becomes due hereunder. ne "worth at the time of the
award" within the meaning of Subparagraphs; (a)(1) and (a)(2) of Section 1951.2
of the California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate
of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant waives redemption or relief from
forfqiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or
under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or
Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason nf any default of Tenant
hereunder.

addition to all remedies set forth above, if Tenant materially defaults under
this Lease, any and all Base Rcnt waived by Landlord under Section 3 above shall
be immediately due and payable to Landlord and all options granted to Tenant
hercunder shall automatically terminate, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in
writing by Landlord.
21.4 Waiver of a Default: Ile waiver by Landlord of any default of any provision
of this Lease shall not be deemed or construed a waiver of any other default by

cxpiration of the Term of this Lease with Landlord's consent, Tenant shall

L-ease, provided the monthly Base Rent during such hold over period shall be
150% of the Base Rent due on the last month of the Ltase Term, payable in
advance on or before the first day of each month. Acceptance by Landlord of the
monthly Base Rent without the additional fifty percent (50%) increase of Base
'Rent shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver by Landlord of any of its
rights to collect the increased amount of the Base Rent as provided herein at
any time. Such month-to-month tenancy shall not constitute a renewal or
extension for any fiirthcr term. All options, if any, granted under the terms of
this Lease shall be deemed automatically terminated and be of no force or cffcct
during said month-to-month tenancy. Tenant shall continue in possession until
such tenancy shall be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant giving written
notice of tcrmination to die other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of termination. This paragraph shall not be construed as
Landlord's permission for Tenant to hold over. Acceptance of Base Rent by
Landlord following expiration or termination of this Lease shall not constitute
a renewal of this Lease.
23. Landlord's Default: Landlord shall not be deemed in breach or default of
this Lease unless Landlord fails within a reasonable time to perform an
obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder. For purposes of this
provision, a reasonable time shall not be less than thirty (30) days after
receipt by Landlord of written notice specifying the nature of the obligation
Landlord has not performed, provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's
obligation is such that more than th@irty (30) days, after receipt of written
notice, is reasonably necessary for its performance, then Landlord shall not be
in breach or default of this Lease if performance of such obligation is
commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued
to completion.
24. Xxxxxx : Tenant shall have a license to use the number of non-designated and
non-exclusive parking spaces specified in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord

further perform under this Lease and from all liability hereunder accruing from
or after the date of such sale; and die purchaser, at such sale or any
subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement
between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and
any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the
covenants and obligations of die Landlord under this Lease. For purposes of this
Section 25, die term "Landlord" means only the owner and/or agent of the owner
as such parties exist as of the date on wWch Tenant executes this Lease. A
ground lease or sirnilar long term lease by Landlord of the cnfirc Building, of
which the Premises are a part, shall be deemed a sale within the meaning of d-ds
Section 25. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner provided such new owner
does not disturb Tenant's use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so
long as Tenant is not in default of any of the provisions of this Lease.
26. Waiver: No delay or omission in die exercise of any right or remedy of
Landlord on any default by Tenant shall impair such a right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord after
default by Tenant of any covenant or term of this Lease shall not be deemed a
waiver of such 4cfault@ other than a waiver of timely payment for the particular
Rent payment involved, and shall not prevent Landlord from maintaining an
unlawful dctainer or other action based on such breach. No payment by Tenant or
receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than die monthly Rent and other sunis due
hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent or
other surns due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or
accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction; and
Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right
to recover the balance of such Rent or other sum or pursue any other remedy
provided in this Lease. No failure, partial exercise or delay on the part of the
Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof.

fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty
that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in

tcrininate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within
ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, in which event the Rent shall be
abated as of the date of such damage. If Landlord does not elect to tenninate
this Lease, and provided insurance proceeds and any contributions from Tenant,
if necessary, are available to fully repair the damage, Landlord shall within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such damage commence to repair
and restore the Building and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore

inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of
use of any part of the Premises by the Tenant or loss of Tenant's personal
propeny resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except

or other casualty resulting from the intentional or negligent acts or omissions
