4.    POSSESSION:    If the lessor, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of said Premises to the Lessee at the commencement of
the term hereof, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting between the commencement of said term and the time when Lessor delivers possession. In the event that the Lessor shall
permit Lessee to occupy the Premises prior to the commencement date of the term, such occupancy shall be subject to all the provisions of the Lease. Said early possession shall not advance the termination date hereinabove provided. 

 
 5.    BASE RENT:    Lessee agrees to pay Lessor, without prior notice or demand, for the
“Premises”, the sum of SEVEN THOUSAND AND TWELVE AND 50/100THS U.S. DOLLARS ($7,012.50), subject to the adjustment as hereinafter provided, on or before the first day of the first full calendar month of the term hereof and
like sum on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month thereafter during the term hereof, except that the first month’s rent shall be paid upon the execution of this Lease. Rent for any period which is for less than one
(1) month shall be prorated for that portion of the monthly installment based upon a thirty (30) day month. Said rental shall be paid to Lessor without deduction or offset in lawful money of the United States of America at the office designated by
the Lessor or to such other person or place as the Lessor may from time to time designate. 
  
 6.    SECURITY
DEPOSIT:    Lessee has deposited with Lessor the sum of EIGHT THOUSAND SEVENTY-EIGHT AND 50/100THS U.S. DOLLARS ($8,078.50). Said sum shall be held by Lessor as security for the faithful performance of Lessee of
all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Lessee during the term hereof. If Lessee defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of
rent, Lessor may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in default or for the payment of any amount which Lessor may spend or become obligated to
spend by reason of Lessee’s default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Lessee shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefore, deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to
its original amount and Lessee’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds, and Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on such
deposit. If Lessee shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed, the security deposit shall be returned to Lessee (or at Lessor’s option, to the last assignee of Lessee’s interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the Lease term. In the event of termination of Lessor’s interest in this Lease, Lessor shall transfer said deposit to Lessor’s successor in interest. 
  
 7.    BASE RENTAL ADJUSTMENT & LATE CHARGES:    Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of base rent or other sums due
hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, not otherwise contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any
installment of base rent is not paid by Lessee and received by Lessor on the due date thereof (5. Base Rent), or if any other sum due Lessor from Lessee under the terms of this lease is not so paid by Lessee and received by Lessor within five (5)
days after written notice to Lessee of the amount of said other sum due Lessor, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor, as and for additional rent, at Lessor’s option, an amount equivalent to the sum of one (1%) percent of said base rent installment or
other sum so due, per day, commencing on the tenth (10th) day after the date said base rent or other sum
is due Lessor, and the actual attorney’s fees and costs, if any, so incurred by Lessor by reason thereof. The parties hereby agree that such adjustment to rent represents a fair and reasonable estimate of costs and expenses Lessor will incur by
reason of late payment by Lessee and fair and reasonable compensation to Lessor thereof. 
  
 8.    REAL ESTATE TAXES
AND ASSESSMENTS:    As additional rent under the terms of this Lease, Lessee covenants and agrees to pay Lessor, Lessee’s proportionate share of all real property taxes and other assessments levied against the Building

 9.    BASE RENTAL ADJUSTMENT:    The base rent (5. Base Rent) shall increase two percent (2%) each
year over the base rent per month of the previous year so that the total base rent due for each succeeding twelve month period, or any portion, extension or renewal thereof, shall two percent (2%) more than the previous year, or said
base rent shall be increased 

 
 1

for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the Los Angeles, California area, shall increase prior to that adjustment date before commencement date of this Lease, last (CPI-U) index Publishing. For calculating such index increase, the base month shall be
the month on which the last (CPI-U) index was published prior to the commencing one year commencing SEPTEMBER 1, 2002, and on each succeeding year during the term of this Lease, the base month shall be the month on which the last (CPI-U) index was
published prior to the date of the last adjustment. The minimum base rent for each succeeding one year period during the term of this Lease, shall be increased from the amount of the previous years rent, by the same increase as the percentage of
increase between the last (CPI-U) index and the comparison month index as described herein. Lessor shall annually serve written notice upon Lessee advising the amount of the base rent adjustment. ** But in no case shall the annual CPI increase
be greater than five percent (5%) per year; however, in the event the actual CPI in any given year is greater than seven percent (7%), the Lessee shall also pay one-half (1/2) of the CPI increase above seven percent (7%).

$1,066.00 per month. In the event that the triple net costs are lower or greater than $1,066.00 per month, an adjustment shall be made at the anniversary date of the base rental adjustment. SEE ADDENDUM.

aforedescribed circumstances and 
  

 
 2 








 conditions affecting said property, Lessor cannot and does not warrant that water and any other form of damage to the demised Premises will not

and the sum of $150.00 for each proposed sublet or assignment to cover Lessor’s administrative expenses which shall accompany every application to assign the Lease. Lessee covenants and agrees that in the event Lessee receives Lessor’s

 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WARNING AND DISCLAIMER 
 (SALE AND/OR
LEASE OR PROPERTY) 
  
 Re:    7868 Girard Ave., La Jolla, CA 92037 
  
 Various materials utilized in the construction of any improvements to the Property may contain materials that have been or may in the future be determined to be
toxic, hazardous or undesirable and may need to be specially treated, specially handled and/or removed from the Property. For example, some electrical transformers and other electrical components can contain PCBs, and asbestos has been used in a
wide variety of building components such as fire-proofing, air duct insulation, acoustical tiles, spray on acoustical materials, linoleum, floor tiles and plaster. Due to current or prior uses, the Property or improvements may contain materials such
as metals, minerals, chemicals, hydrocarbons, biological or radioactive materials and other substances which are considered, or in the future may be determined to be, toxic wastes, hazardous materials or undesirable substances. Such substances may
be in above- and below-ground containers on the Property or may be present on or in soils, water, building components or other portions of the Property in areas that may or may not be accessible or noticeable. 
  
 Current and future federal, state and local laws and regulations may require the clean-up of such toxic, hazardous or undesirable materials at the expense of
those persons who in the past, present or future have had any interest in the Property including, but not limited to, current, past and future owners and users of the Property. Owners and Buyers/Lessees are advised to consult with independent legal
counsel or experts or their choice to determine their potential liability with respect to toxic, hazardous, or undesirable materials. Owners and Buyers/Lessees should also consult with such legal counsel or experts to determine what provisions
regarding toxic, hazardous or undesirable materials they may wish to include in purchase and sale agreements, leases, options and other legal documentation related to transactions they contemplate entering into with respect to the Property.

  
 The real estate salespersons and brokers in this transaction have no expertise with respect to toxic wastes, hazardous materials or
undesirable substances. Proper inspections of the Property by qualified experts are an absolute necessity to determine whether or not there are any current or potential toxic wastes, hazardous materials or undesirable substances in or on the
Property. The real estate salespersons and brokers in this transaction have not made, nor will they make, any representations, either express or implied, regarding the existence or nonexistence of toxic wastes, hazardous materials, or undesirable
substances in or on the Property. Problems involving toxic wastes, hazardous materials or undesirable substances can be extremely costly to correct. It is the responsibility of the Owners and Buyers/Lessees to retain qualified experts to deal with
the detection and correction of such matters. 
  
 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT DISCLOSURE 
  
 The United States Congress has enacted the Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), a federal law codified at 42 USC § 12101 et seq., which
became effective January 26, 1992. Owners and lessees are subject to this law which, among other things, is intended to make business establishments equally accessible to persons with a variety of disabilities. Under this law, modifications to real
property improvements may be required by owners and lessees. Owners and lessees may delegate between themselves costs and responsibilities for meeting the requirements of the law but the fact that responsibilities have been allocated does not reduce
or negate liability to an individual with a disability who files and wins a lawsuit. Broker strongly recommends that owners and lessees consult design professionals, architects or attorneys to advise them with respect to the law’s applicability
and to prepare, if necessary, any language in leases or other contracts. The undersigned acknowledge that Broker is not qualified as an expert in this matter.
