4. RENT.
4.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as base monthly rent
for the Premises in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the term
of this Lease without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money
of the United States, the sum as defined in Paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 of the Basic
Lease Provisions (the "Base Rent"). If the Commencement Date is not the first
day of a month, or if the Lease expiration or termination date is not the last
day of a month, a prorated monthly installment shall be paid at the then current
rate for the fractional month during which the Lease commences and/or
terminates.
Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease; Tenant shall pay to
Landlord in the form of a check the sum as defined in Paragraph 1.8 of the Basic
Lease Provisions as Base Rent for the period defined in Paragraph 1.8 of the
Basic Lease Provisions.

Basic Lease Provisions above, and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant
shall pay, as additional rent, Tenant's Share (as defined in Section 4.5(a)) of
(i) Operating Expenses as required by Section 4.5, 8.1 and 9.2 and as defined in

(iii) the cost of any insurance premiums, pursuant to Section 13.2. All
Operating Expenses, real property taxes, insurance costs, late charges, costs,
expenses and other sums which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease,
together with all interest and penalties that may accrue thereon in the event of
Tenant's failure to pay such amounts, and all reasonable damages, costs and
attorneys' fees and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of any default
of Tenant, or failure on Tenant's part to comply with the terms of this Lease,
shall be deemed to be additional rent ("Additional Rent") and shall be paid in
addition to the Base Rent, and, in the event of non-payment by Tenant, Landlord
shall have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Landlord has for
the non-payment of the Base Rent.
4.3 LATE CHARGES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder will
cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount
of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are
not limited to, processing, accounting charges and late payment fees which may
be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the
Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent
or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's
designee within four (4) days after such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord as Additional Rent a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such
overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late
payments by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant
to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any
installment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or prevent Landlord from
exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to
make such payment when due. In the event any payment of Base Monthly Rent or
Additional Rent is not received by Landlord by the thirtieth (30th) day after
the due date for such payment or installment, such payment or installment shall
bear interest at the Permitted Rate, as defined in Paragraph 20.17 below,
commencing on the thirty-first (31st) day after the due date for such payment or
installment and continuing until the same is paid.
4.4 RETURNED CHECK FEE. A twenty-five dollar ($25.00) charge will be paid
by Tenant as Additional Rent to Landlord for each check returned unpaid by the
bank and Tenant shall replace the payment with a Cashier's Check or Certified
Check. If Tenant has two (2) or more checks returned for insufficient funds at
any time during its tenancy, Landlord, at its option, may request all payments,
current and future, be made by Cashier's Check or Certified Check.

assignable, by operation of law or otherwise, nor shall Tenant have the right to
sublet the Premises, transfer any interest of Tenant therein or permit any use
of the Premises by another party, without the prior written consent of Landlord
to each such assignment, subletting, transfer or use, which consent Landlord

terminate this Lease.
Landlord's waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting hereunder

interest in this Lease or sublet the Premises, or transfer any interest of
Tenant therein, or permit the use of the Premises by another party (hereinafter

the proposed Transfer and the prospective transferee.
16.3 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this
Lease shall confer upon Tenant only the right to use and occupy the Premises,
and to exercise such other rights as are conferred upon Tenant by this Lease.
The parties agree that this Lease is not intended to have a bonus value nor to
serve as a vehicle whereby Tenant may profit by a future Transfer of this Lease
or the right to use or occupy the Premises as a result of any favorable terms
contained herein, or future changes in the market for leased space. It is the
intent of the parties that any such bonus value that may attach to this Lease
shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord, except as provided in
Paragraph 16.3(6) below. In the event Tenant seeks to Transfer its interest in
this Lease or the Premises, Landlord shall have the following options, which may
be exercised at its sole choice without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any
other right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such proposed
Transfer.
(a) In the event of a Transfer constituting either an assignment of
the entire Lease or a sublease of substantially all of the Premises for the
balance of the Lease Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease effective
as of the proposed effective date of the proposed Transfer and release Tenant
from any further
17.
liability hereunder accruing after such termination date by giving Tenant
written notice of such termination within fifteen (15) days after receipt by
Landlord of Tenant's notice of intent to Transfer as provided above. If Landlord
makes such election to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the
Premises, in accordance with Paragraph 9.2(e), on or before the effective
termination date, or
(b) Landlord may consent to the proposed Transfer on the condition
that Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, seventy-five percent
(75%) of any and all rents or other consideration (including key money) received
by Tenant from the transferee by reason of such Transfer in excess of the rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (less any brokerage commissions,
attorneys' fees and advertising expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with
the Transfer). Tenant expressly agrees that the foregoing is a reasonable
condition for obtaining Landlord consent to any Transfer; or
(c) Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to the proposed
transfer.
16.4 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event Landlord shall consent to a sublease or
assignment under this Section 16, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees not to exceed $500.00 incurred in connection with giving such
consent.
16.5 TRANSFER TO AN AFFILIATE. Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord,
but without Landlord's consent and without the obligations of the forgoing
Paragraph 16.1, 16.2 and 16.3 above, transfer its interests under this Lease to
any affiliate of Tenant. For the purposes of this Lease, an "Affiliate" shall
mean any entity which is controlling, controlled by, or under common control of
Tenant and which directly or indirectly owns 50% or more of the voting power in
such other entity. "Control" as used herein shall mean the ability to manage the
operations of such entity by ownership of stock, contract or otherwise. In the
event of any transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant as provided above, Tenant shall
not be released or relieved of any obligations hereunder.

this Lease to any underlying lease, mortgage or deed of trust which now or
hereafter affects the Premises or Landlord's interest or estate therein and any
renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, or extension thereof (a
"Security Instrument").
17.1 PRIORITY. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Security
Instruments existing as of the Commencement Date. However, if any lender so
requires, this Lease shall become prior and superior to any such Security
Instrument.
17.2 SUBSEQUENT SECURITY INSTRUMENTS. At Landlord's election, this Lease
shall become subject and subordinate to any Security Instrument created after
the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to
quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not
in default and performs all of its obligations under this Lease, unless this
Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
17.3 DOCUMENTS. Tenant shall execute any reasonable document or instrument
required by Landlord or any lender to make this Lease either prior or
subordinate to a Security Instrument, which may include such other matters as
the lender customarily requires in connection with such agreements, including
provisions that the lender, if it succeeds to the interest of Landlord under
this Lease, shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior
landlord (including Landlord), (ii) subject to any offsets or difference which
Tenant may have against any prior landlord (including Landlord), (iii) bound by
any rent or additional rent paid more than one (1) month in advance of the date
due under this Lease, (iv) liable for any defaults on the part of Landlord
occurring prior to the time that lender takes possession of the Premises in
connection with enforcement of its Security Instrument, (v) liable for the
return of any security deposit unless such deposit has been delivered to lender,
and (vi) bound by any agreement or modification of the Lease made without the
prior written consent of the lender.
17.4 TENANT'S ATTORNMENT. Tenant shall attorn (1) to any purchase of the
Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any
Security Instrument encumbering the Premises; (2) to any grantee or transferee
designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure, or (3) to the lessor under
any underlying ground lease should such ground lease be terminated.
18.
18. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
18.1 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Default in payment when due of any installment of rent or other
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such default shall not
have been cured within three (3) days after written notice of such default is
given to Tenant;
(b) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant;
(c) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of
the Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure shall have
continued for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the
same cannot reasonably be cured within such twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such
cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion;
(d) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall
commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its
debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or
relief of debtors, or seek appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or
other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its
property;
(e) Tenant or any such guarantor shall take any corporate action to
authorize any of the actions set forth in Clause (d) above, or,
(f) Any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any
guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be commenced seeking to have
an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its
debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief
of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and
such case, proceeding or other action (i) results in the entry of an order for
relief against it which is not fully stayed within seven (7) business days after
the entry thereof or (ii) is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days of filing
such case, action or proceeding.
(g) Levy of a writ of attachment or execution of Tenant's interest
under this Lease where such writ continues for a period of ten (10) days;
(h) An assignment, sublease or other transfer of this Lease or
Tenant's interest in the Premises or portion thereof contrary to the provisions
of Section 16, or
(i) Execution of an assignment for the benefit of creditors of
substantially all assets of Tenant available by law for the satisfaction of
judgment creditor.
18.2 NOTICES. When this Lease requires service of a notice that notice
shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice,
including any notices required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, or
any similar successor statute.
18.3 REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice and demand
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or
in equity which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach.
(a) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the rent
and other monetary charges as they become due, without terminating Tenant's
right to possession, irrespective or whether Tenant shall have abandoned the
Premises. In the event Landlord elects to not terminate the Lease, Landlord
shall have the right
19.
to attempt to re-let the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for
such a term, and to do all acts necessary to maintain or preserve the Premises
as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have elected
to terminate the Lease including removal of all persons and property from the
Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. In the event any such
re-letting occurs, this Lease shall terminate automatically upon the new tenant
taking possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding that Landlord fails to elect
to terminate the Lease initially, Landlord at any time during the Term of this
Lease may elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of such previous default of
Tenant.
(b) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of
termination or other lawful means. On the giving of the notice all of Tenant's
rights in the Premises and the Building and Project shall terminate. Upon the
giving of the notice of termination, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the
Premises in the condition required by Paragraph 9.2(e), and Landlord may
re-enter and take possession of the Premises and all the remaining improvement
or property and eject Tenant or any of Tenant's subtenants, assignees or the
person or persons claiming any right under or through Tenant or eject some and
not others or eject none. This Lease may also be terminated by a judgment
specifically providing for termination. Any termination under this paragraph
shall not release Tenant from the payment of any sum then due Landlord or from
any claim for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing against
Tenant. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord
constitute a termination of this Lease:
(i) maintenance and preservation of the Premises;
(ii) efforts to relet the Premises;
(iii) appointment of a receiver in order to protect Landlord's
interest hereunder;
(iv) consent to any subletting of the Premises or assignment of
this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to provisions hereof concerning
subletting and assignment or otherwise; or
(v) any other action by Landlord or Landlord's agents intended to
mitigate the adverse effects from any breach of this Lease by Tenant.
(c) In the event this Lease terminated pursuant to Subparagraph
18.3(b) above, or otherwise, Landlord shall be entitled to damages in the
following sums:
(i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which has
been earned at the time of termination; plus
(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations
under the Lease, or which in ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom including, without limitation, the following: (A) expenses for
cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (B) expenses for altering,
remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting,
including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be
funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to the succeeding
lessee, or otherwise), (C) real estate broker's fees, advertising costs and
other expenses of reletting the Premises; (D) costs of carrying the Premises
such as taxes and insurance premiums thereon, utilities and security
precautions, (E) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises;
20.
(F) attorneys' fees and court costs; and (G) any unamortized real estate
brokerage commission paid in connection with this Lease.
(v) The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to
in Subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph 18.3(c) is computed by allowing
interest at the Permitted Rate. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts
referred to in Subparagraph (iii) of this Paragraph 18.3(c) is computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Board of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). The term "rent" as used in
this Paragraph 18 shall include all sums required to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation,
Base Rent, Additional Rent and Operating Expenses.
18.4 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord
fails to perform obligations required of Landlord hereunder within a reasonable
time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant
to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to
Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such
obligation, provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord
shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty-day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. Any money
judgment obtained by Tenant based upon Landlord's breach of this Lease shall be
satisfied only out of the proceeds of the sale or disposition of Landlord's
interest in the Premises (whether by Landlord or by execution of judgment).

19.2 PERMITTED USE. Subject to the compliance by Tenant with the provisions
of Paragraphs 19.3, 19.4, 19.5, 19.6, 19.7, 19.8 and 19.9 below, Tenant shall be
permitted to use and store on the Premises those Hazardous Materials listed in
Paragraph 19.11 attached hereto, in the quantities set forth in Paragraph 19.11.
19.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN.
(a) Prior to Tenant using, handling, transporting or storing any
Hazardous Material at or about the Premises (including, without limitation,
those listed in Paragraph 19.11), Tenant shall submit to Landlord a Hazardous
Materials Management Plan ("HMMP") for Landlord's review and approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The HMMP shall describe: (aa) the
quantities of each material to be used, (bb) the purpose for which each material
is to be used, (cc) the method of storage of each material, (dd) the method of
transporting each material to and from the Premises and within the Premises (ee)
the methods Tenant will employ to monitor the use of the material and to detect
any leaks or potential hazards, and (ff) any other information any department of
any governmental entity (city, state or federal) requires prior to the issuance
of any required permit for the Premises or during Tenant's occupancy of the
Premises. Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to review and approve the
foregoing information and HMMP, and such review and approval or failure to
review and approve shall not act as an estoppel or otherwise waive Landlord's
rights under this Lease or relieve Tenant of its
21.
obligations under this Lease. If Landlord determines in good faith by inspection
of the Premises or review of the HMMP that the methods in use or described by
Tenant are not adequate in Landlord's good faith judgment to prevent or
eliminate the existence of environmental hazards, then Tenant shall not use,
handle, transport, or store such Hazardous Materials at or about the Premises
unless and until such methods are approved by Landlord in good faith and added
to an approved HMMP. Once approved by Landlord, Tenant shall strictly comply
with the HMMP and shall not change its use, operations or procedures with
respect to Hazardous Materials without submitting an amended HMMP for Landlord's
review and approval as provided above.
(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord when Tenant submits an HMMP
(or amended HMMP) the amount reasonably determined by Landlord to cover all
Landlord's costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with Landlord's
review of the HMMP which costs and expenses shall include, among other things,
all reasonable out-of-pocket fees of attorneys, architects, or other consultants
incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's review of the HMMP. Landlord
shall have no obligation to consider a request for consent to a proposed HMMP
unless and until Tenant has paid all such costs and expenses to Landlord
irrespective of whether Landlord consents to such proposed HMMP. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord on demand the excess, if any, of such costs and expenses
actually incurred by Landlord over the amount of such costs and expenses
actually paid by Tenant, and Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the
excess, if any, of such costs and expenses actually paid by Tenant over the
amount of such costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord.
19.4 USE RESTRICTION. Except as specifically allowed in Paragraph 19.2
above, Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be used,
stored, generated, discharged, transported to or from, or disposed of in or
about the Premises, or any other land or improvements in the vicinity of the
Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant, at its sole
cost, shall comply with all Laws relating to the storage, use, generation,
transport, discharge and disposal by Tenant or its Agents of any Hazardous
Material. If the presence of any Hazardous Agents results in contamination of
the Premises or any soil, air, ground or surface waters under, through, over,
on, in or about the Premises, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all
actions necessary to return the Premises and/or the surrounding real property to
the condition existing prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Material. In
the event there is a release, discharge or disposal of or contamination of the
Premises by a Hazardous Material which is of the type that has been stored,
handled, transported or otherwise used or permitted by Tenant or its Agents on
or about the Premises, Tenant shall have the burden of proving that such
release, discharge, disposal of contamination is not the result of the acts or
omissions of Tenant or its Agents.
19.5 TENANT INDEMNITY. Tenant shall defend, protect, hold harmless and
indemnify Landlord and its agents and lenders with respect to all actions,
claims, losses (including, diminution in value of the Premises), fines,
penalties, fees (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and consultants'
fees) costs, damages, liabilities, remediation costs, investigation costs,
response costs and other expenses arising out of resulting from, or caused by
any Hazardous Material used, generated, discharged, transported to or from,
stored, or disposed of by Tenant or its agents in, on, under, over through or
about the Premises and/or the surrounding real property. Tenant shall not suffer
any lien to be recorded against the Premises as a consequence of the disposal of
any Hazardous Material on the Premises by Tenant or its agents, including any so
called state, federal or local "super fund" lien related to the "clean up" of
any Hazardous Material in, over, on, under, through or about the Premises.
19.6 COMPLIANCE. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any
inquiry, test, investigation, enforcement proceeding by or against Tenant or the
Premises concerning any Hazardous Material. Any remediation plan prepared by or
on behalf of Tenant must be submitted to Landlord prior to conducting any work
pursuant to such plan and prior to submittal to any applicable government
authority and shall be subject to Landlord's consent. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord, as the owner of the Property, at its election, shall have the sole
right to negotiate, defend, approve and appeal any action taken or order issued
with regard to any Hazardous Material by any applicable governmental authority.
19.7 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. It shall not be unreasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting if (i)
the proposed assignee's or subtenant's anticipated use of the Premises involves
the storage, generation, discharge, transport, use or disposal of any Hazardous
Material, (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required by any
prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to "clean up" or remediate any
Hazardous Material, (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is subject to
investigation or
22.
enforcement order or proceeding by any governmental authority in connection with
the use, generation, discharge, transport, disposal of storage of any Hazardous
Material.
19.8 SURRENDER. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall remove all Hazardous Materials from the
Premises that Tenant or its Agents introduced to the Premises. If Tenant fails
to so surrender the Premises, Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from and against all damages resulting from Tenant's failure
to surrender the Premises as required by this Paragraph, including without
limitation, any actions, claims, losses, liabilities, fees, (including but not
limited to attorneys' and consultants' fees), fines costs, penalties, or damages
in connection with the condition of the Premises including, without limitation,
damages occasioned by the inability to relet the Premises or a reduction m the
fair market and/or rental value of the Premises by reason of the existence of
any Hazardous Material in, on, over, under, through or around the Premises.
19.9 RIGHT TO APPOINT CONSULTANT. Landlord shall have the right to
appoint a consultant to conduct an investigation to determine whether any
Hazardous Material is being used, generated, discharged, transported to or from,
stored or disposed of in, on, over, through, or about the Premises, in an
appropriate and lawful manner and in compliance with the requirements of this
Lease. If Tenant has violated any Law or covenant in this Lease regarding the
use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such investigation. Tenant, at its
expense, shall comply with all reasonable recommendations of the consultant
required to conform Tenant's use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials to
the requirements of applicable Law or to fulfill the obligations of Tenant
hereunder.
Tenant shall defend, protect, hold harmless and indemnify Landlord and
its agents and employees with respect to all actions, claims, losses, fines,
penalties, fees, costs, damages and liabilities (including but not limited to
attorneys' and consultants' fees) arising out of or in connection with any
Hazardous Material used, generated, discharged, transported to or from, stored,
or disposed of in, on, under, through or about the Premises and/or the
surrounding real and personal property. Tenant shall not suffer any lien to be
recorded against the Premises as a consequence of a Hazardous Material,
including any so called state, federal or local "super fund" lien related to the
"clean up" of a Hazardous Material in, over, on, under, through, or about the
Premises.
19.10 HOLDING OVER. If any action of any kind is required or requested
to be taken by any governmental authority to clean-up, remove, remediate or
monitor any Hazardous Materials (the presence of which is the result of the acts
or omissions of Tenant or its Agents) and such action is not completed prior to
the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to
have impermissibly held over until such time as such required action is
completed, and Landlord shall be entitled to all damages directly or indirectly
incurred in connection with such holding over, including, without limitation,
damages occasioned by the inability to re-let the Premises or a reduction of the
fair market and/or rental value of the Premises.

relating to the Lease and/or the Premises as may be requested by a lender making
a loan to Landlord or a purchaser of the Premises, Building or Project from
Landlord. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.
(b) Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such
time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and
effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that
there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more
than one month's rent has been paid in advance; and, (iv) the improvements to be
constructed on the Premises by Landlord have been substantially completed except
for punch list items which do not prevent Tenant from using the Premises for its
intended use.
(c) If Landlord desires to finance, refinance or sell said
Premises, or any part hereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to Landlord, its
agent or any prospective purchaser or lender designated by Landlord such
financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender or
prospective purchaser. Such statements shall include the past three years
financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received
by Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set
forth.
20.2 TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. In the event of a sale or
conveyance by Landlord of Landlord's interest in the Premises other than a
transfer for security purposes only, Landlord shall be relieved from and after
the date specified in such notice of transfer of all obligations and liabilities
accruing thereafter on the part of the Landlord, provided that any funds in the
hands of Landlord at the time of transfer in which Tenant has an interest, shall
be delivered to the successor of Landlord. This Lease shall not be affected by
any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided
all Landlord's obligations hereunder are assumed in writing by the transferee.

contemporaneous oral agreements between and among themselves and their agents or
representatives relative to the leasing of the Premises are merged in or revoked
by this Agreement.
20.5 SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any
extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and
each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
20.6 COSTS OF SUIT.
(a) If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action for any
relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease,
including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent or possession of the
Premises, the losing party shall pay the successful party a reasonable sum for
attorneys' fees which shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of
such action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to
judgment.
The attorney's fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any
court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred in good faith.
20.7 LANDLORD AS PARTY DEFENDANT. Should Landlord, without fault on
Landlord's part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by
any third party against Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or
using the Premises by license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for
labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or any such other person or
otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Tenant or
of any such other person, Tenant covenants to save and hold Landlord harmless
from any judgment rendered against Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof,
and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by
Landlord in or in connection with such litigation. Such indemnity obligation
shall survive termination of this Lease.
20.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive their
respective right to trial by jury of any cause of action, claim, counterclaim,
cross-complaint in any action, proceeding and/or hearing brought by either
Landlord against Tenant or Tenant against Landlord on any matter whatsoever
arising out of, or in any way connected with, this Lease, the relationship of
Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, or
25.
any claim or injury or damage, or the enforcement of any-remedy under any law,
statute or regulation, emergency or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect.
20.9 TIME; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. Time is of the essence of this
Lease and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating
to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by either
party, if such party shall consist of more than one person or organization,
shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and remedies of the
parties shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any other remedy at law or in
equity.
20.10 BINDING EFFECT: CHOICE OF LAW. Each provision of this Lease to be
performed by Tenant shall be construed as both a covenant and condition. Subject
to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting any Tenant and
subject to Section 18.2, all of the provisions hereof shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the State of California.
20.11 WAIVER. No covenant term or condition or the breach thereof shall
be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver
is claimed, and any waiver or the breach of any covenant, term or condition
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the
same of any other covenant, term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of the
performance by Tenant after the time the same shall have become due shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any covenant, term
or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.
Landlord's failure to enforce against Tenant or any other tenant of the
Building or the Project any of the rules or regulations made by Landlord shall
not be deemed a waiver of such rules or regulations. No act or thing done by
Landlord, its agents or employees during this Lease Term shall be deemed an
acceptance of a surrender of the Premises and no agreement to accept a surrender
of the Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and is signed by
Landlord. The delivery of keys to any of Landlord's agents or employees shall
not serve to terminate this Lease or surrender the Premises. No payment by
Tenant, or receipt and acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the rent
due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent
or additional rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying a payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction. The
receipt and acceptance by Landlord of any delinquent rent shall not constitute a
waiver of any other default; it shall only be a waiver of timely payment for the
particular rent payment involved. Landlord may accept such check or payment
without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or
pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.
20.12 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. The voluntary or other surrender of this
Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and
shall, at the option of the Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or
subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it
or any or all such subleases or subtenancies.
20.13 HOLDING OVER.
(a) SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. Tenant shall surrender possession
of the Premises immediately upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease. If Tenant shall continue to occupy or possess the Premises after such
expiration or termination without the consent of Landlord, then Tenant shall be
a tenant at will. If Landlord has consented to such holdover in writing, Tenant
shall be a tenant from month-to-month. All the terms, provisions and conditions
of the Lease shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy except those terms,
provisions and conditions pertaining to the Lease Term, and except that the
rental shall be immediately adjusted upward upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease to equal the greater of (i) one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the then prevailing monthly rental rate for similar commercial space,
as determined by Landlord; or (ii) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
Rental for the Premises in effect under this Lease on the day immediately prior
to the date of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
The month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant upon
thirty (30) days prior notice to the non-terminating party. In the event that
Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon such expiration or earlier
termination, then Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against all
losses or liability resulting from or
26.
arising out of Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises. This includes, but is
not limited to any amounts required to be paid or damages incurred due to the
loss of any tenant or prospective tenant who was to have occupied the Premises
after said termination or expiration and any related attorneys' fees and
brokerage commissions.
20.14 PAYMENT OF MONEY AFTER TERMINATION. No payment of money by Tenant
to Landlord after the termination of the Lease by Landlord or after the giving
of any notice of termination to Tenant by Landlord, which Landlord is entitled
to give Tenant under the Lease, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of
the Lease or shall affect any such notice given to Tenant prior to the payment
of such money. It is agreed that after the service of such notice or the
commencement of any suit by Landlord to obtain possession of the Premises,
Landlord may receive and collect when due any and all payments owed by Tenant
under the Lease and otherwise exercise its rights and remedies. The making of
any such payments by Tenant shall not waive such notice or in any manner affect
any pending suit or judgment obtained.
20.15 SIGNS AND AUCTIONS.
(a) Tenant shall not place any sign upon the Premises or
conduct any auction thereon without Landlord's prior written consent. All such
signs placed on the Premises by Tenant and consented to by Landlord shall comply
with all recorded documents affecting the Premises and applicable statutes,
ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental agencies having jurisdiction
thereof. At Landlord's option, Tenant shall, at the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, remove any sign which it has placed on the Premises
and shall at its sole cost, repair any damage caused by the installation or
removal of such sign.
(b) Obtaining permits for Tenant signs as may be required by
any governmental agency shall be the responsibility of Tenant.
20.16 REASONABLE CONSENT. Except as limited elsewhere in this Lease,
wherever in this Lease Landlord or Tenant is required to give consent or
approval to any action on the part of the other, such consent or approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of failure to give any such consent,
the other party shall be entitled to specific performance at law and shall have
such other remedies to it under this Lease, but in no event shall Landlord or
Tenant be responsible in monetary damages for failure to give consent unless
said failure is withheld maliciously or in bad faith.
20.17 INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any installment of Base Rent or
Additional Rent due from Tenant, or any other sum due under this Lease from
Tenant, which is not received by Landlord when due, shall bear interest from
said due date until paid, at an annual rate equal to the lower of (the
"Permitted Rate"): (a) twelve percent (12%); or (b) five percent (5%) plus the
rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, as of the
twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month immediately preceding the due date, on
advances to member banks under Sections 13 and 13(a) of the Federal Reserve Act,
as now in effect or hereafter from time to time amended. Payment of such
interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant. In addition, Tenant
shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in collection of
such amounts.
20.18 RECORDING. Tenant shall not record this Lease without Landlord's
prior written consent (which may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion), and such recordation shall, at the option of Landlord,
constitute a non-curable default of Tenant hereunder.
20.19 NOTICES. All notices or demands of any kind required or desired
to be given by Landlord or Tenant hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed delivered on the date received if personally delivered to Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, or if mailed, then forty-eight (48) hours after
depositing the notice or demand in the United States mail, certified or
registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the Landlord or Tenant respectively at
the addresses set forth after their signatures at the end of this Lease.
20.20 CORPORATE AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that
he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said
corporation in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of
Directors of said corporation or in accordance with the Bylaws of said
corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance
27.
with its terms. If Tenant is a corporation Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days
after execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord a certified copy of a
resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation authorizing or
ratifying the execution of this Lease.
20.21 LIMITATION ON LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Tenant, for itself and its
successors and assigns (to the extent this Lease is assignable), hereby agrees
that in the event of any actual or alleged, breach or default by Landlord under
this Lease that:
(a) Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy and recourse against
Landlord shall be as against Landlord's interest in the Project;
(b) No partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party
in a suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the
partnership);
(c) No service of process shall be made against any partner of
Landlord (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership);
(d) No partner of Landlord shall be required to answer or
otherwise plead to any service of process;
(e) No judgment will be taken against any partner of Landlord;
(f) Any judgment taken against any partner of Landlord may be
vacated and set aside at anytime nunc pro tunc;
(g) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the
assets of any partner of Landlord; and,
(h) The covenants and agreements of Tenant set forth in this
Paragraph 20.21 shall be enforceable by Landlord and any partner of Landlord.
20.22 CONSTRUCTION OF LEASE PROVISIONS. Although printed provisions of
this Lease were prepared by Landlord, the doctrine or rule that ambiguities in
an agreement or document are to be construed against the drafting party, shall
not be utilized in interpreting this Lease and this Lease shall instead be
construed or interpreted in accordance with the general tenor of the language to
reach a fair and equitable result.
20.23 CONFIDENTIALITY. Tenant hereby agrees not to disclose the terms
of this lease (specifically including, without limitation, the rent or rental
rate to be paid by Tenant hereunder and/or any tenant improvement allowance to
be furnished by Landlord to Tenant) to any existing or prospective tenant of the
Building or other third party; provided, however, Tenant may disclose the terms
of this Lease to its accountant, bookkeeper or tax advisor or any employee of
Tenant who has a need to know such information for a legitimate business
purpose, or if Tenant is otherwise required to disclose such confidential
information as permitted hereunder of the requirements of this Paragraph and
shall require each such person to comply with such confidentiality requirements.
In the event Tenant or any person to whom it discloses such confidential
information fails in any respect to comply with its obligations under this
Paragraph, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for breach of this Paragraph 20.23
and Landlord may bring an action against Tenant for damages as a result of such
breach. In addition, nothing stated herein shall preclude or prohibit Landlord
from seeking an injunction to prevent disclosure of such confidential
information or an order compelling specific protection of such confidential
information. The provisions of this Paragraph 20.23 shall survive the
termination of this Lease.
LANDLORD AND TENANT HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND REVIEWED THIS LEASE AND EACH TERM
AND PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN AND BY EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE SHOW THEIR
INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT THERETO. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT AT THE

Inc. ("Tenant"). Landlord and Tenant agree that the following terms are hereby
added to the Lease:

terms used herein shall have the same meaning and definition as set forth for

(ii) All "soft" construction costs directly or
indirectly related to the construction of the Improvements including, but not

(B) Fees of engineers, space. planners,
architects, attorneys and others providing professional or extra services in
connection with the construction of the Improvements or the supervision of the

(C) Inspection fees, recording costs and

2. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord agrees to construct the
Improvements in the Premises in conformance with applicable construction codes
and with the Approved Interior Plans approved by both Landlord and Tenant and
developed pursuant to this Paragraph 2.
(a) APPROVAL OF PLANS. On or before the date five (5) business
days following execution of the Lease, Landlord shall deliver plans and
specifications to Tenant for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant shall reasonably approve or disapprove such plans and
specifications within five (5) calendar days following delivery of the same to
Tenant. If Tenant reasonably disapproves such plans, then the parties shall
expeditiously confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the plans
and specifications for the Improvements. As soon as the final plans and
specifications are approved by Tenant, four (4) copies of such plans and
specifications shall be initialed and dated by Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord
shall submit such plans and specifications and working drawings to all
appropriate governmental agencies for approval. Immediately after all such
governmental approvals have been obtained, the final plans and specifications so
approved (including any governmentally required changes), and all change orders
specifically permitted by this Agreement, are referred to herein as the
"Approved Interior Plans" and shall become part of this Lease as though set
forth in full.
(b) CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. Landlord shall contract for the
construction of the Improvements in the following manner:
(i) It is presently contemplated that the
Improvements will be constructed by South Bay Construction Company, as general
contractor. Tenant acknowledges that one or more of the members of Landlord has
an ownership or other beneficial interest in South Bay Construction Company, but
Tenant nevertheless consents to Landlord's hiring of such company for purposes
of constructing the Improvements. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord shall have
no obligation to hire South Bay Construction Company, or any other specific
general contractor, for the purpose of constructing the Improvements, and
Landlord may select for such purposes any licensed general contractor it may
deem qualified to perform such work. The general contractor so selected by
Landlord (which likely is to be South Bay Construction Company) is referred to
herein as the "Prime Contractor."
(ii) Prior to commencement of construction of the
Improvements, Landlord shall cause the Prime Contractor to obtain at least two
competitive bids for each portion of the work to be performed by subcontractors
in the major trades. Tenant shall have the right to review all such competitive
bids, and the final bid accepted must be reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and
Tenant prior to the start of construction of the Improvements.
(c) CHANGES TO APPROVED INTERIOR PLANS. Once the Approved
Interior Plans have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant and the general
construction contract signed with the Prime Contractor, Tenant shall have no
right to order extra work or change orders with respect to the construction of
the Improvements without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All extra work or change
orders requested by Tenant shall be made in writing, shall specify the amount of
delay or the time saved resulting therefrom, shall specify any added or reduced
cost resulting therefrom, and shall become effective and a part of the Approved
Interior Plans once approved in writing by both parties.
2.
(d) COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. As soon
as (i) the Approved Interior Plans have been developed as provided above, (ii)
all necessary governmental approvals have been obtained, and (iii) Landlord has
entered into a general construction contract with Prime Contractor for
construction of the Improvements, Landlord shall cause construction of the
Improvements to be commenced and diligently prosecuted to completion. Landlord
makes no representation or warranty as to when the Improvements will be
completed.
(e) PAYMENT OF IMPROVEMENT COSTS. Landlord shall pay all
Improvement Costs with the exception of I) any costs associated with
construction of the lunch room and installation and exhausting of Tenant's Spray
Booth; and ii) any change orders requested by Tenant that result in an increase
in construction costs. If Tenant incurs Improvement Costs as outlined herein,
then Tenant shall pay the entire amount of such costs, with one-half (1/2) of
such excess payable to Landlord in cash prior to commencement of construction of
the Improvements and the balance payable on the Commencement Date. The
obligation of Landlord to contribute monies up to pay for the Improvements shall
pertain only to Improvement Costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the
design and construction of the Improvements shown on the Approved Interior
Plans.
3. DELAYS IN COMPLETION. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and
Tenant's Share of Operating Expense increases (and other additional rent) shall
commence on the Commencement Date of the Lease (as provided in the Lease) unless
otherwise provided in this Section 3. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
date on which Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Rent would otherwise commence
may be delayed because of (i) Tenant's failure to prepare and submit information
to Landlord so Landlord may prepare plans and specifications for the
Improvements and/or Tenant's failure to promptly review and approve the plans or
specifications for the Improvements, (ii) the entry by Tenant into the Premises,
or portion thereof, which interferes with or delays the completion of Landlord's
work, (iii) change orders requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord, and /or
(iv) any other act or omission of Tenant. It is the intent of the parties hereto
that the Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of
Operating Expense Increases (and all additional rent) not be delayed by any of
such causes or by any other act of Tenant, and in the event it is so delayed,
then Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating
Expense Increases (and all additional rent) shall commence as of the date it
would otherwise have commenced absent said delay caused by Tenant.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) LANDLORD. Landlord's Prime Contractor shall warrant the
Improvements constructed in the premises, but not any equipment included in the
Improvements, against defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve
(12) months from the date of signed acceptance of the Improvement by Tenant.
Said warranty extends only to Tenant and shall be effective only as to defects
of which Landlord and the Prime Contractor are notified in writing by Tenant
within the warranty period. The Prime Contractor's sole obligation shall be
either to repair or replace, as the Prime Contractor and project architect
determine appropriate, any defect which is warranted hereunder. Any repair or
replacement is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a
period ending on the date said warranty expires with regard to the original
construction to which the repair or replacement was made. Tenant agrees that
Landlord, Prime Contractor and the project architect shall not be liable for
consequential damages arising as a result of a defect warranted hereunder.
Tenant covenants that it will not pursue any remedy against Landlord, Prime
Contractor or the project architect as a result of such consequential damages if
any. Landlord shall inform Tenant of all written equipment warranties existing
in favor of Landlord which affect any equipment included in the Improvements.
Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in enforcing such warranties and in
bringing any suit that may be necessary to enforce liability with regard to any
defective operation of equipment so long as Tenant pays all costs incurred by
Landlord in so acting. The warranties to be given as set forth in this paragraph
are all of the warranties of Landlord, Prime Contractor and the project
architect with respect to the subject matter hereof. LANDLORD, PRIME CONTRACTOR
AND THE PROJECT ARCHITECT MAKE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY WITH RESPECT
TO THE CONSTRUCTION OR OPERATION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY.
(b) TENANT. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant shall
inspect or, if Tenant lacks sufficient expertise to so inspect, shall employ
experts of Tenant's choosing, to inspect the plans and specifications for the
Improvements and that upon written approval of such plans and specifications by
Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed fully satisfied that the Improvements constructed
in substantial accordance with such plans and
3.
specifications are sufficient to meet Tenant's purpose. Tenant covenants that
Tenant will not pursue any action against Landlord, Prime Contractor or the
project architect if the Improvements made in accordance with such plans and
specifications fail to meet Tenant's purpose. Landlord makes no warranty,
express or implied, of fitness for purpose or merchantability, of any equipment
or fixtures included in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall rely
upon the manufacturer of such equipment or fixtures for any warranty with
respect thereto.
5. HEADINGS. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only. They shall not be construed to limit or extend
the meaning of any part of this Agreement, and shall not be deemed relevant in
resolving any questions of interpretation or construction of any paragraph of
