	 	 	n.	 	EXHIBITS: Exhibits lettered “A” through “C” are attached hereto and made a part
hereof.







	2.  	PREMISES






	 	a.  	Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant the premises
described in ¶1. and in
Exhibit A (the
“Premises”). The term “Premises” includes all the land and improvements (including
the buildings,
landscaping, parking lot, etc.) as described on Exhibit A. Subject to any
additional work Landlord
has agreed herein to do, Tenant hereby accepts the Premises in their condition
existing as of the
date of the execution hereof, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and
state laws,
ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and
accepts this
Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits
attached hereto.
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Broker has made any
representation or
warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business.
Tenant agrees
with the square footage specified for the Premises in ¶1. and will not hereafter
challenge such
determination and agreement. The rental payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease is
not subject
to revision in the event of any discrepancy in the rentable square footage for the
Premises.
	 
	 	b.  	Acceptance; Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord represents that it is the fee simple
owner of the
Premises and has full right and authority to make this Lease. Landlord hereby
leases the
Premises to Tenant and Tenant hereby accepts the same from Landlord, in accordance
with the
provisions of this Lease. Landlord covenants that Tenant shall have peaceful and
quiet enjoyment
of the Premises during the Term (as defined below) of this Lease.






	3.  	Term. The term (“Term”) of this Lease is for the period that commences at 12:01 a.m. on
the
Commencement Date and expires at 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date. If Landlord, for any
reason,
cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, this
Lease
shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage
resulting from
such delay. In that event, however, there shall be an abatement of Rent (as defined below)
covering the
period between the Commencement Date and the date when Landlord delivers possession to
Tenant, and
all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If a
delay in possession is
caused by Tenant’s failure to perform any obligation in accordance with this Lease, the Term
shall
commence as of the Commencement Date, and there shall be no reduction of Rent between the
Commencement Date and the time Tenant takes possession.






	4.  	RENT






	 	a.  	Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord in lawful money of the United States,
without notice,
demand, offset or deduction, rent in the amount(s) set forth in ¶1. which shall be
payable in
advance on the first day of each and every calendar month (“Base Rent”). Unless
otherwise
specified in writing by Landlord, all installments of Base Rent shall be payable at
Limar Realty
Corp. #4, Department #44294, P.O. Box 44000, San Francisco, CA 94144-4294. Base
Rent for
any partial month at the beginning or end of this Lease will be prorated in
accordance with the
number of days in the subject month. Tenant shall be entitled, at its option, to a
refund or credit of
the difference between the Initial Base Rent specified in ¶1h., paid monthly, and
$61,627.72, paid
monthly, from the date this Lease is signed by both Landlord and Tenant retroactive
to January 1,
2004.
	 
	 	   	For purposes of Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties to this Lease
hereby agree to allocate the stated Base Rent provided herein to the periods which
correspond to the actual Base Rent payments as provided under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
	 
	 	b.  	Step Increase. The Base Rent shall be increased periodically to the amounts and
at the times set
forth in ¶1.i.
	 
	 	c.  	Rent Without Offset and Late Charge. All Rent shall be paid without prior
demand or notice and
without any deduction or offset whatsoever. All Rent shall be paid in lawful currency
of the United
States of America. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any
Rent will
cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of
such cost being
extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without
limitation, processing
and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms
of any
encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any Rent is not received
by Landlord
within five (5) days of its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to six percent
(6%) of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late
charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by
reason of any
such late payment and that the late charge is in addition to any and all remedies
available to the
Landlord and that the assessment and/or collection of the late charge shall not be
deemed a
waiver of any other default. Additionally, all such delinquent Rent or other sums,
plus this late
charge, shall bear interest from the due date thereof at the lesser
of ten percent
(10%) per annum
or the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. Any payments of any kind
returned for
insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of $25.00, and if
a check is
returned for non-sufficient funds more than twice during the Term of the Lease,
Landlord may
require Tenant to pay all future payments of Rent or other sums due by cashier’s
check or by wire
transfer.

	 	d.  	Rent. The term “Rent” as used in this Lease shall refer to Base Rent, Real
Property Taxes, Operating Expenses, Security Deposit(s), Insurance Costs, repairs and
maintenance costs, utilities, late charges and other similar charges payable by Tenant
pursuant to this Lease either directly to Landlord or otherwise.






	5  	OPERATING EXPENSES






	 	a.  	Payment by Tenant. During the Term of this Lease Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional
Rent, on a monthly basis one hundred percent (100%) of the Operating Expenses.
	 
	 	b.  	Operating Expenses. The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses, costs and
disbursements (not specifically excluded from the definition of Operating Expenses below) of
every
kind and nature which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in
connection
with the ownership, maintenance, repair and operation of the Premises. Operating Expenses
shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:






	 	1)  	Wages and salaries of all employees engaged in the operation, maintenance and
security
of the Premises, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto; and the
rental
cost and overhead of any office and storage space used to provide such services.
	 
	 	2)  	All supplies, materials and labor used in the operation, repair or maintenance
of the Premises.
	 
	 	3)  	Cost of all utilities, including surcharges, for the Premises, including the
cost of water,
power and lighting which are not separately billed to and paid for by Tenant.
	 
	 	4)  	Cost of all maintenance and service agreements for the Premises and the
equipment
thereon, including but not limited to, security services, exterior window cleaning,
janitorial
service, engineers, gardeners and trash removal services.
	 
	 	5)  	All Insurance Costs, as such term is defined in ¶16.
	 
	 	6)  	Cost of all repairs and general maintenance (excluding repairs and general
maintenance
paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties).
	 
	 	7)  	A reasonable management fee for the property management of the Premises.
	 
	 	8)  	The costs of any additional services not provided to the Premises at the
Commencement
Date but thereafter provided by Landlord in its management of the Premises.
	 
	 	9)  	The cost of any capital improvements made to the Premises after the date of
this Lease,
with such cost thereof to be amortized over the useful life of the improvements as
reasonably determined by Landlord. Other than costs associated with
repairs,
replacements or refurbishments in the normal course and necessary for the normal
operation of the Premises, Landlord shall not, without Tenant’s consent, which
consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, materially alter the
physical
features of the Premises in a manner which materially affects Tenant’s use, or
construct
additional square footage, the cost for either of which would be amortized over its
useful
life and passed through to Tenant as part of Operating Expenses. A roof re-coating
shall
be treated as an Operating Expense, while a roof replacement would be an amortizable
capital expenditure.
	 
	 	10)  	Real Property Taxes as that term is defined in ¶11 .c.

	 
	 	11)  	Assessments, dues and other amounts payable pursuant to the CC&R’s described in ¶7.C.






	 	c.  	Operating Expenses shall not include:






	 	1)  	Costs paid for directly by Tenant or other tenants;
	 
	 	2)  	Costs incurred in connection with the financing, sale or acquisition of the
Premises or any
portion thereof;
	 
	 	3)  	Costs incurred in leasing or procuring tenants (including without
limitation, lease
commissions, advertising expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses of renovating space
for tenants);
	 
	 	4)  	Executive salaries of off-site personnel employed by Landlord except for the
charge (or pro
rata share) of the property manager of the Premises;
	 
	 	5)  	Subject to the provisions of ¶5.b.9) above, depreciation on the Building or
other
improvements on the Premises;
	 
	 	6)  	Legal expenses for disputes with Tenant and any other professional fees of
attorneys,
auditors or consultants not incurred in connection with the normal maintenance and
operation of the Premises;




-3-









 












	 	7)  	Costs incurred that are reimbursed by Tenant, or third parties, including insurers;
	 
	 	8)  	Expenses for repair or replacement covered by warranties, and any costs due to
casualty
that are covered by insurance carried by Landlord;
	 
	 	9)  	Rentals and other payments by Landlord under any ground lease or other lease
underlying
the Lease, and interest, principal, points and other fees on debt or amortization of
any debt
secured in whole or part by all or any portion of the Premises;
	 
	 	10)  	Repairs or replacements caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or the gross
negligence
of Landlord’s employees or agents;
	 
	 	11)  	Net income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes or taxes which
are the
personal obligation of Landlord;
	 
	 	12)  	Landlord’s charitable or political contributions;
	 
	 	13)  	Payments to subsidiaries and affiliates of Landlord for services to the Premises
for
supplies or other materials to the extent that the cost of such services, supplies or
materials exceed the cost which would have been paid had the services, supplies or
materials been provided by unaffiliated parties on a competitive basis (provided,
however,
any fee for management services paid to an affiliate of Landlord shall be in the
amount set
forth in ¶5.b.7);
	 
	 	14)  	Payments to subsidiaries and affiliates of Landlord for services to the Project
for supplies
or other materials to the extent that the cost of such services, supplies or
materials exceed
the cost which would have been paid had the services, supplies or materials been
provided by unaffiliated parties on a competitive basis (provided, however, any fee
for
management services paid to an affiliate of Landlord shall be in the amount set forth
in
¶4.d.1)b);
	 
	 	15)  	Any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial
concessions
operated by Landlord;
	 
	 	16)  	Advertising and promotional expenditures;
	 
	 	17)  	Costs of repairs and other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty
of an
insurable nature to the extent covered by insurance; or
	 
	 	18)  	Costs for sculpture, paintings or other objects of art other than for normal and
customary
lobby furnishings (nor insurance thereon or extraordinary security in connection
therewith).






	 	d.  	Extraordinary Services. Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice
from Landlord the cost of additional or extraordinary services provided to Tenant at
Tenant’s request and not paid or payable by Tenant pursuant to other provisions of this
Lease.

	 
	 	e.  	Impound. Landlord reserves the right, at Landlord’s option from time to time during the
calendar
year, to estimate the annual cost of Operating Expenses incurred by
Landlord (“Projected
Operating Expenses”) and to require Tenant to pay Tenant’s Share thereof in advance. Except
as provided below in this ¶5.e., Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly in advance as
additional Rent, one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Share of the Projected Operating Expenses.
The failure of Landlord to timely furnish to Tenant a schedule of the Projected Operating
Expenses for any Calendar Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to
collect any Projected Operating Expenses under this ¶5. Tenant’s share is 100% of Operating
Expenses.
	 
	 	   	When Landlord provides Tenant with a revised Projected Operating Expense Budget during any
calendar year, the following payment adjustments will be due Landlord: (1) Effective the
first of the month following notification of the new Projected Operating Expense Budget,
Tenant shall pay monthly in advance, one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Share of the new
Projected Operating Expenses, and 2) if the revised Projected Operating Expense Budget
exceeds the prior Budget, Landlord shall invoice to Tenant a retroactive billing and Tenant
shall pay said billing within thirty (30) days of receipt of same. The retroactive billing
will reflect the additional amount payable by the Tenant for Tenant’s Share of the new
Operating Expense Budget for the calendar year to date. For example, assume an annual
existing Operating Expense Budget of $144,000 for a tenant with a share of 50% and where such
tenant was initially making $6,000 a month of estimated payments. If the revised Operating
Expense Budget increases by $12,000 to $156,000 and the tenant is notified in June, then the
amounts due per 1) & 2) above are computed as follows:





	 	 	 	 	 
	1) New Monthly Payment (Effective July 1):	 	 	 	 
	Revised Annual Operating Expense Budget
	 	$	156,000	 
	 
	 	 	 
	Tenant’s Share @ 50%
	 	$	78,000	 
	 
	 	 	 
	New Payment @ 1/12 Monthly
	 	$	6,500	 
	 
	 	 	 





	 	 	 	 	 
	2) Retroactive Billing:	 	 	 	 
	Revised Annual Operating Expense Budget
	 	$	156,000	 
	 
	 	 	 
	Tenant’s Share @ 50% for 6 (of 12) months
	 	$	39,000	 
	Less payments, to date (6 @ $6,000)
	 	 	(36,000	)
	 
	 	 	 
	Retroactive Balance Due
	 	$	3.000	 
	 
	 	 	 





-4-









 







	 	   	As an alternative to a retroactive billing, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option,
spread the increase over the remaining months in the current calendar year in equal
monthly payments.






	 	f.  	Adjustment.






	 	1)  	Accounting. Within one hundred eighty (180) days (or as soon
thereafter as possible)
after the close of each calendar year or portion thereof of occupancy,
Landlord shall
provide Tenant a statement of such year’s actual Operating Expenses snowing
the actual
Operating Expenses compared to the Projected Operating Expenses. If the
actual
Operating Expenses are more than the Projected Operating Expenses then Tenant
shall
pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill therefor, the
difference. If the actual
Operating Expenses are less than the Projected Operating Expenses, then Tenant
shall
receive a credit against future Operating Expenses payments equal to the
difference;
provided, that in the case of an overpayment for the final lease year of the
Term, Landlord
shall credit the difference against any sums due from Tenant to Landlord in
accordance
with the terms of this Lease; and if no sums are due and unpaid, shall
promptly refund the
amount to Tenant.
	 
	 	2)  	Tenant’s Right to Audit. Within ninety (90) days after receipt
of Landlord’s statement
setting forth actual Operating Expenses (the
“Statement”), Tenant shall have
the right to
audit at Landlord’s local offices, at Tenant’s expense, Landlord’s accounts
and records
relating to Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted by a certified
public
accountant approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, or
by Tenant’s independent lease administration consultants who shall not be
compensated
on a contingency or percentage basis. If such audit reveals that Landlord has
overcharged
Tenant, the amount overcharged shall be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days
after the
audit is concluded. If such audit reveals that Landlord has undercharged
Tenant, the
amount of undercharge shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days after
the audit is
conducted. In addition, if the Operating Expenses included in the Statement
exceed the
actual Operating Expenses which should have been charged to Tenant by more
than five
percent (5%), the cost of the audit shall be paid by Landlord. Tenant may not
withhold any
payment due as set forth in this Lease pending completion of the audit.
	 
	 	3)  	Proration. Tenant’s liability to pay Operating Expenses shall be
prorated on the basis of a
365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year to account for any fractional
portion of a year
included at the commencement or expiration of the Term of this Lease.
	 
	 	4)  	Survival. Landlord and Tenant’s obligations to pay for or credit
any increase or decrease
in payments pursuant to this ¶5. shall survive this Lease.






	 	g.  	Failure to Pay. Except as otherwise provided herein, failure of Tenant to pay
any of the charges
required to be paid under this ¶5. shall constitute a material default and breach of
this Lease and
Landlord’s remedies shall be as specified in ¶21.






	6.  	SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit a security deposit
(“Security
Deposit”) in the amount set forth in ¶1. with Landlord. If Tenant is in default beyond
applicable cure
periods, Landlord can (but without any requirement to do so) use the Security Deposit or any
portion of it to
cure the default or to compensate Landlord for any damages sustained by Landlord resulting
from Tenant’s
default. Upon demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of
the Security
Deposit expended or applied by Landlord to restore the Security Deposit to its full amount.
In no event will
Tenant have the right to apply any part of the Security Deposit to any Rent due under this
Lease.
Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not a
trustee, and
Landlord can commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord shall
not be
required to pay Tenant interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions
of California
Civil Code Section 1950.7, and all other provisions of law now in force or which may become
in force after
the date of execution of this Lease that provide that Landlord may claim from its security
deposit only those
sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damages caused
by the
tenant, or to clean the premises or otherwise limit the application of a security deposit.
With respect to the
Security Deposit, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may claim and employ the Security
Deposit in
connection with any and all sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any
foreseeable or
unforeseeable loss or damage caused by or resulting from any default by Tenant pursuant to
this Lease as
well as any foreseeable or unforeseeable loss or damage resulting from any act or omission by
Tenant or
Tenant’s officers, agents, employees, independent contractors, or invitees. If Tenant is not
in default at the
expiration or termination of this Lease and has fully complied with the provisions of ¶13.d.6)
and ¶26.,
Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant.





7. USE OF PREMISES





	 	a.  	Tenant’s Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes stated in
¶1. and for no other purposes without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord.
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or with respect to the
suitability of the Premises to the conduct of Tenant’s business, nor has Landlord
agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises,
except as provided in writing in this Lease. With reasonable notice to Tenant,
Landlord may from time to time, at its sole discretion, make such modifications,
alterations, deletions or




-5-









 






	 	   	improvements to the Premises as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable,
without compensation to Tenant. Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, statutes,
ordinances, orders and governmental regulations now or hereafter existing affecting the
Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or
bring or keep anything in the Premises that will in any way increase the premiums paid by
Landlord on its insurance related to the Premises. Tenant will not perform any act or carry
on any practices that may injure the Premises. Tenant shall not use the Premises for
sleeping, washing clothes or the preparation, manufacture or mixing of anything that emits
any objectionable odor, noises, vibrations or lights onto such other tenants. If sound
insulation is required to muffle noise produced by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant at its
own cost shall provide all necessary insulation. Tenant shall not do anything on the
Premises which will overload any existing parking or service to the Premises. Pets and/or
animals of any type (other than seeing eye dogs) shall not be kept on the Premises. Tenant
covenants that it will not interfere with other tenants’ quiet enjoyment of their premises.






	 	b.  	Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with and use the Premises in accordance with the
Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B and to any reasonable
modifications to such
Rules and Regulations as Landlord may adopt from time to time, provided however that if any
rule
or regulation is in conflict with any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, this Lease
shall
prevail. In addition, no such rule or regulation, or any subsequent amendment thereto
adopted by
Landlord, shall in any material way alter, reduce or adversely affect any of Tenant’s rights
or
materially enlarge Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
	 
	 	c.  	CC&R’s. Tenant agrees that this Lease is subject and subordinate to the Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. as they may be
amended from
time to time (“CC&R’s”), and further agrees that the CC&R’s are an integral part of this
Lease.
Throughout the Term or any extension thereof, notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
Tenant
shall faithfully and timely assume and perform all obligations of Landlord and/or Tenant
under the
CC&R’s and any modifications or amendments thereto, including the payment of any periodic or
special dues or assessments against the Premises. Such dues and assessments shall be
included within the definition of Operating Expenses pursuant to ¶5.b.11), and Tenant shall
pay
such amounts as further set forth in ¶5. Tenant shall hold Landlord, its subsidiaries,
shareholders,
directors, officers, agents and employees harmless and indemnify Landlord, its subsidiaries,
shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees against any loss, expense and
damage,
including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of the failure of Tenant to perform or
comply with
the CC&R’s.





8.    EMISSIONS; STORAGE, USE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE





	 	a.  	Emissions. Tenant shall not:






	 	1)  	Knowingly permit any vehicle on the Premises to emit exhaust which is in
violation of any
governmental law, rule, regulation or requirement;
	 
	 	2)  	Discharge, emit or permit to be discharged or emitted, any liquid, solid or
gaseous matter,
or any combination thereof, into the atmosphere or on, into or under the Premises,
any

report
the same to the other and supply the other with all information and reports with respect to
the
same. All information described herein shall be provided regardless of any claim by either
party
that it is confidential or privileged, provided that the provision of these documents will
not, in any
way, alter any aspect of the document’s confidentiality or privileged nature.
	 
	 	e.  	Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary,
Tenant
shall comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules and other governmental

	 	f.  	Indemnity. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its agents,
employees,
lenders, shareholders, directors, representatives, successors and assigns harmless from and
against any and all actions, causes of action, losses, damages, costs, claims, expenses,

otherwise dealt with by Tenant (or invitees, or persons or entities under the control of

connection with or with respect to the Premises. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of
this
Lease, the indemnity obligation of Tenant pursuant to this ¶8.f. shall survive the
termination of this

or relating to (i) Hazardous Materials employed, used, transported to the Premises, for
which the
Premises are a part thereof, by Landlord, its agents or employees or (ii) Hazardous
Materials
existing on, in or under the Premises as of the date of this Lease. For purposes of this
Lease the

material, pollutant or contaminant, as defined for purposes of the Comprehensive
Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.), as

	9.  	SIGNS AND COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNAE. Tenant shall not place any sign or communications
antennae upon or adjacent to the Premises, except that Tenant may, with Landlord’s prior
written consent,
install such signs (but not on the roof) as are reasonably required to indicate Tenant’s
company name or
logo provided such signs are in compliance with Landlord’s standard sign criteria or install
communications
antennae used exclusively by Tenant provided such signs and/or communications antennae are in
compliance with all applicable governmental requirements and the CC&R’s. The installation of
any sign or
communications antennae on or adjacent to the Premises by or for Tenant shall be subject to
the
provisions of ¶13. (Repairs and Maintenance). Tenant shall remove any sign or communications
antennae
placed on or adjacent to the Premises by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term or sooner
termination of
this Lease, and Tenant shall repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused thereby, all
at Tenant’s
expense. If any signs or communications antennae are not removed, or necessary repairs not
made,
Landlord shall have the right to remove the signs or communications antennae and repair any
damage or
injury to the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this
Lease to the contrary, Landlord reserves all rights to the use of the roof and the right to
install and receive
all revenues from the installation of such communications antennae on the Premises as do not
unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business on the Premises. Landlord
will, however,
consult with Tenant regarding the location of any antennae placed on the Premises and attempt
to comply
with Tenant’s reasonable request as to location.
	 
	10.  	PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency all
taxes
assessed against and levied upon Tenant owned leasehold improvements, trade fixtures,
furnishings,
equipment and all personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible,
Tenant shall cause its leasehold improvements, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other
personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord.
If any of
Tenant’s said personal property shall be assessed with Landlord’s real property, Tenant shall
pay Landlord
the taxes attributable to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the
taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.
	 
	11.  	 REAL PROPERTY TAXES







	 	a.  	Payment of Taxes. Landlord shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as defined in
¶11.c., during the
Term of this Lease. Subject to ¶11.b., Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for
such Real
Property Taxes paid by Landlord.
	 
	 	b.  	Advance Payment. In order to ensure payment when due and before delinquency
of any or all
Real Property Taxes, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a copy of the tax bill for the
current Real
Property Taxes applicable to the Premises upon receipt by Landlord, and Tenant shall
pay that
amount to Landlord at least ten (10) business days before the delinquency date of the
tax bill. If
the amounts paid to Landlord by Tenant under the provisions of this ¶11. are
insufficient to
discharge the obligations of Tenant to pay such Real Property Taxes as the same
become due,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon Landlord’s demand, such additional sums as are
necessary to
pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Landlord under this ¶11. may be intermingled
with other
moneys of Landlord and shall not bear interest.
	 
	 	c.  	Definition of “Real Property Taxes”. As used
herein, the term  “Real Property
Taxes” shall
include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, and
any license fee, commercial rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax or
other fee,
charge, or excise which may be imposed as a substitute for any of the foregoing
(other than
inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Premises by any
authority having
the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal
government, or any
school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement district
thereof, levied
against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, Landlord’s right
to rent or other
income therefrom, and/or Landlord’s business of leasing the Premises. The term “Real
Property
Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase
therein,
imposed by reason of events occurring, or changes in applicable law taking effect,
during the Term
of this Lease, including but not limited to a change in the ownership of the Premises
or in the
improvements thereon, the execution of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or
transfer
thereof, and whether or not contemplated by the parties hereto.
	 
	 	d.  	Appeals. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant desires to appeal or
contest any aspect of
any assessment or payment of any Real Property Tax, that party shall consult with the
other and
the parties shall mutually agree on which party is better suited to pursue the
appeal. Whether
Landlord or Tenant is the appealing party, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of
the cost of
the appeal.






	12.  	UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash
disposal and other
utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any
such services are
not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be determined
by Landlord,
of all charges jointly metered with other premises.
	 
	13.  	 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE









	 	a.  	Tenant’s Obligations.




-8-









 












	 	1)  	General. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at all times,
contract for
janitorial services and supplies and keep the Premises and every part thereof in good
order, condition and repair, structural and non-structural (whether or not such
portion of the
Premises requiring repairs, or the means of repairing same, are reasonably or readily
accessible to Tenant, and whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result
of
Tenant’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the
Premises),
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all equipment or
facilities serving
the Premises, such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical,
lighting
facilities, boilers, fired or unfired pressure vessels, fire sprinkler and/or
standpipe and hose
or other automatic fire extinguishing system, including fire alarm and/or smoke
detection
systems and equipment, fire hydrants, fixtures, walls (interior and exterior),
foundations,
ceilings, roofs, floors, windows, doors, plate glass, skylights, landscaping,
driveways,
parking lots, fences, retaining walls, signs, sidewalks and parkways located in, on,
about or
adjacent to the Premises. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to
be
spilled or released in, on, under or about the Premises (including through the
plumbing or
sanitary sewer system) and shall promptly, at Tenant’s expense, take all
investigatory
and/or remedial action reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or
required, for the cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security
and/or
monitoring of the Premises, the elements surrounding same, or neighboring properties,
that was caused or materially contributed to by Tenant, or pertaining to or involving
any
Hazardous Materials and/or storage tank brought onto the Premises by or for Tenant or
under its control. Tenant, in keeping the Premises in good order, condition and
repair,
shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices. Tenant’s obligations to
reimburse
Landlord as part of Operating Expenses shall include restorations, replacements
(i.e.,
parking lot, landscaping) or renewals when necessary in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion
to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order,
condition and state of repair.
	 
	 	2)  	Contracts. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, procure and
maintain
contracts, with copies to Landlord, in customary form and substance for, and with
contractors specializing and experienced in, the inspection, maintenance and service
of
the following equipment and improvements, if any, located on the Premises: (i)
heating, air
conditioning and ventilation equipment, (ii) boiler, fired or unfired pressure
vessels, (iii) fire
sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose or other automatic fire extinguishing systems,
including fire alarm and/or smoke detection, (iv) landscaping and irrigation systems,
(v)
roof covering and drain maintenance and (vi) asphalt and parking lot maintenance.
Tenant
shall keep a detailed preventative maintenance schedule and log showing the frequency
of
maintenance on all HVAC, mechanical, electrical and other systems of the Premises and
provide Landlord with a copy of same quarterly.
	 
	 	3)  	As-Is Condition. The parties affirm that Landlord, its subsidiaries, officers,
shareholders,
members, managers, directors, agents and/or employees have made no representations
to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises except as specifically stated
herein.
	 
	 	4)  	ADA. Tenant acknowledges that as of the Commencement Date, the Premises may
not
comply with the accessibility provisions of Title 24 of the California Code of
Regulations as
interpreted by the Office of the State Architect (“ADA”), and that Landlord shall
have no
obligation with respect to any such failure of the Premises to so comply. Tenant
shall, at
its cost, at any time during the Term as required by any applicable governmental
agency
having jurisdiction over the Premises, make such modifications and alterations to the
Premises as may be required in order to fully comply with the provisions of the ADA,
as
from time to time amended, and any and all regulations issued pursuant to or in
connection
with the ADA in such a manner as to satisfy the applicable governmental agency or
agencies requiring remediation. Tenant shall at least thirty (30) days prior to
the
commencement of any construction in connection with satisfaction of the ADA, give
written
notice to Landlord of its intended commencement of construction together with
sufficient
details so as to reasonably disclose to Landlord the nature of the proposed
construction,
copies of any notices received by Tenant from applicable governmental agencies in
connection with the ADA and such other documents or information as Landlord may
reasonably request. In any event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in
this Lease, prior to the termination of the Term, Tenant shall, at its cost, make
such
modifications and alterations to the Premises as may be required to comply fully with
the
ADA as from time to time amended and any and all regulations issued thereunder.
Tenant
shall give the Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice as described above in
connection with any such construction. Any and all construction required to so comply
with
the ADA shall be completed by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term.






	b.  	Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to
repair
and maintain the Premises, or the equipment therein, whether structural or non structural,
all of
which obligations are intended to be that of the Tenant under ¶13.a. hereof.
	 
	c.  	Compliance with Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense,
promptly and properly observe and comply with all present and future orders, regulations,
directions, rules, laws, ordinances, and requirements of all governmental authorities
(including but
not limited to state, municipal, county and federal governments and their departments,
bureaus,
boards and officials) arising from the use or occupancy of, or applicable to, the Premises
or
privileges appurtenant to or in connection with the enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant shall
also




-9-









 






	   	comply with all such rules, laws, ordinances and requirements at the time Tenant makes
any alteration, addition or change to the Premises.






	 	d.  	Miscellaneous.






	 	1)  	Landlord and Tenant shall each do all acts required to comply with
all applicable laws,
ordinances and rules of any public authority relating to their respective
maintenance
obligations as set forth herein.
	 
	 	2)  	Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or
hereafter in effect which would
otherwise afford the Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or
to terminate
this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order,
condition and
repair and Tenant hereby specifically waives the provisions of California
Civil Code
Sections 1941 and 1942.
	 
	 	3)  	Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises which
exceeds the load per
square foot which such floor was designed to carry, as determined by Landlord
or
Landlord’s structural engineer. The cost of any such determination made by
Landlord’s
structural engineer shall be paid for by Tenant upon demand.
	 
	 	4)  	Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and except in
instances of
Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall have no
liability to Tenant
nor shall Tenant’s obligations under this Lease be reduced or abated in any
manner
whatsoever by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury
to business
arising from Landlord making any repairs or changes which Landlord is required
to make
or is permitted to make by this Lease or by any tenant’s lease or is required
by law to make
in or to any portion of the Premises. Landlord shall nevertheless use
reasonable efforts to
minimize any interference with Tenant’s business in the Premises.
	 
	 	5)  	Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any damage to or
defective condition in any
part or appurtenance of the Premises’ mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
or other
systems serving, located in or passing through the Premises. Upon request by
Landlord,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord
of service
contracts on such systems.
	 
	 	6)  	Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, choose to perform any of the
Tenant’s obligations in
this ¶13. (“Tenant’s Obligations”) as to the exterior of the Premises (e.g.,
landscaping,
building exterior and parking lot). As to any Tenant’s Obligations as to the
interior of the
Premises, Landlord may perform only those Tenant’s Obligations which Tenant
fails to
perform itself. The cost of any such Tenant’s Obligations so performed by
Landlord shall
be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any
such costs
incurred by Landlord in the performance of Tenant’s Obligations within thirty
(30) days of
receipt of a billing from Landlord.






	14.  	ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises (“Alterations") without
Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided
however that Tenant may make non-structural alterations costing less than $10,000 per event
without Landlord’s consent. Regardless of whether Landlord’s consent for an Alteration is
required, Tenant must provide Landlord at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the
commencement of any Alteration with a complete description of each such Alteration including
any building permit drawing(s) and specifications. Landlord may post notices regarding
non-responsibility in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are
located. All Alterations made by Tenant, whether or not subject to Landlord’s consent, shall
be performed by Tenant and its contractors in a first class workmanlike manner and permits
and inspections shall be obtained from all required governmental entities. Landlord shall
respond to Tenant within fifteen (15) business days of actual receipt of Tenant’s written
request for consent to any Alterations. If Landlord fails to respond within thirty (30) days
of actual receipt, the Alterations shall be deemed approved and not subject to removal at the
end of the Term. At the time Landlord gives its consent to any Alterations, it shall
designate whether Tenant will be required to remove some or all of such Alterations upon the
expiration or termination of this Lease or whether Tenant will be able to leave the
Alterations and surrender them with the Premises. Everything else notwithstanding, in no
event will Tenant be required to remove or restore Alterations that are generic office tenant
improvements or engineering (dry) labs. Landlord may, upon 60 days prior written notice
before the expiration of the Term, require Tenant to remove some or all of the Alterations
for which Landlord’s consent was not previously requested. Before the last day of the Term,
Tenant shall at its own cost also remove those Alterations for which Landlord previously
notified Tenant removal would be required. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall at its own
cost restore those Alterations for which consent was not previously requested to the
condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the Term. Should
Landlord consent in writing to Tenant’s Alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract
with a contractor approved by Landlord for the construction of such Alterations, shall secure
all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such Alterations with
due diligence in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord. Tenant shall
pay all costs for such construction and shall keep the Premises free and clear of all
mechanics’ liens which may result from construction by Tenant.
	 
	   	Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord will inspect the existing
alterations and improvements in the Premises within ninety (90) days of the date the Lease
is executed in full by both parties, and Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any
elements of the existing alterations and improvements that Landlord approves, but subject
to the paragraph immediately above, shall be obligated




-10-









 






	   	to remove as of the Expiration Date of this Lease any alterations and improvements to
the Premises made subsequent to the Commencement Date of the Prior Lease (as defined below)
which Landlord has not approved in writing. If Landlord fails to inspect or provide written
notice regarding its approval to Tenant within the ninety (90) day period described above,
all existing alterations and improvements shall be deemed approved and need not be removed
as of the Expiration Date of this Lease.






	15.  	RELEASE AND INDEMNITY. As material consideration to Landlord, Tenant agrees that Landlord
shall not
be liable to Tenant for any damage to Tenant or Tenant’s property from any cause, except for
damages
resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and Tenant waives all
claims against
Landlord for damage to persons or property arising for any reason, except for damage
resulting directly
from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord, its
subsidiaries, officers, shareholders, directors, agents and employees harmless from all
damages including
attorneys’ fees and costs arising out of any damage to any person or property occurring in,
on or about the
Premises or Tenant’s use of the Premises or Tenant’s breach of any term of this Lease.
	 
	16.  	 INSURANCE








	 	a.  	Payment For Insurance. Regardless of whether the Landlord or Tenant is the
Insuring Party,
Tenant shall pay for all insurance for the Premises required under this ¶16.
(“Insurance Costs”)
either directly or by reimbursement to Landlord as set forth in this ¶16. Premiums
for policy
periods commencing prior to or extending beyond the Lease Term shall be prorated to
correspond
to the Lease Term. Payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days
following
receipt of an invoice for any amount due.
	 
	 	b.  	Liability Insurance.






	 	1)  	Carried by Tenant. Whether or not Tenant is the Insuring Party,
Tenant shall obtain and
keep in force during the Term of this Lease a commercial general liability
policy of
insurance protecting Tenant and Landlord (as an additional insured) against
claims for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or
arising out of
the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas
appurtenant
thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit
coverage in
an amount not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence with an “Additional
Insured-Managers
or Landlords of Premises” endorsement and contain an “Amendment of the
Pollution
Exclusion” for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire.
The policy
shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between
insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this
Lease as an
“insured contract” for the performance of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under
this Lease.
The limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Tenant
shall not,
however, limit the liability of Tenant nor relieve Tenant of any obligation
hereunder. All
insurance to be carried by Tenant shall be primary to and not contributory
with any similar
insurance carried by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance
only. All insurance coverage required pursuant to this ¶16. which is to name
Landlord as
an additional named insured shall also name Landlord’s subsidiaries,
directors, agents,
members, managers, officers and employees as named insureds.






	 	2)  	Carried by Landlord. In the event Landlord is the Insuring
Party, Landlord shall also
maintain liability insurance as described in ¶16.b.1), in addition to, and not
in lieu of the
insurance required to be maintained by Tenant. In the event Tenant is the
Insuring Party,
Landlord shall in addition carry Lessor’s Risk Coverage and insure the
Premises on
Landlord’s umbrella policy. Tenant shall not be named as an additional
insured therein
under any insurance obtained by Landlord in accordance with this ¶16.b.2).






	 	c.  	Property Insurance - Building, Improvements and Rental Value.






	 	1)  	Building and Improvements. The Insuring Party shall obtain and
keep in force during the
Term of this Lease a policy or policies with Landlord named as an additional
insured (if
Tenant is the Insuring Party), with loss payable to Landlord and to the
holders of any
mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises
(“Lender(s)”),
insuring loss or
damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the
full
replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time,
or the amount
required by Lender(s), but in no event more than the commercially reasonable
and
available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of
the
improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full replacement cost.
If the
coverage is available at a commercially reasonable cost, such policy or
policies shall
insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (including Boiler
and Machinery
coverage and the perils of flood and earthquake), including coverage for any
additional
costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for
the
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or
replacement of any
undamaged sections of the Premises required to be demolished shall also
contain an
agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause and waiver of
subrogation. If
such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, then Tenant shall be liable
for such
deductible amount. Even if Landlord is the Insuring Party, Tenant’s personal
property shall
be insured by Tenant under ¶16.d. rather than by Landlord.
	 
	 	2)  	Rental Value. The Insuring Party shall, in addition, obtain and
keep in force during the
term of this Lease a policy or policies with Landlord named as an additional
insured (if




-11-









 






	 	   	Tenant is the Insuring Party), with loss payable to Landlord and Lender(s),
insuring the loss of the full rental and other charges payable by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease for one (1) year (including all Real Property Taxes,
Insurance Costs and any scheduled Rent increases). Said insurance shall provide
that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period
of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion
of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year’s loss of
Rent from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, and the amount of coverage
shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected Rent, Real Property Taxes,
Insurance Costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise payable by Tenant, for the
next twelve (12) month period. Tenant shall be liable for any deductible amount in
the event of such loss.






	 	3)  	Adjacent Premises. If the Premises are part of a larger building, or if the
Premises are
part of a group of buildings owned by Landlord which are adjacent to the Premises,
the
Tenant shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property insurance of such
building or buildings if said increase is caused by Tenant’s acts, omissions, use or
occupancy of the Premises.
	 
	 	4)  	Tenant’s Improvements. If the Landlord is the Insuring Party, the Landlord
shall not be
required to insure Tenant’s personal property and leasehold improvements unless the
item
in question has become the property of Landlord under the terms of this Lease. If
Tenant
is the Insuring Party, the policy carried by Tenant under this ¶16.c. shall insure
Tenant’s
personal property and leasehold improvements.






	 	d.  	Tenant’s Property Insurance. Subject to the requirements of ¶16.e., Tenant at its cost shall
either by separate policy or by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance
coverage on all of Tenant’s personal property and Tenant’s leasehold improvements in, on or
about the Premises similar in coverage to that carried by the Insuring Party under ¶16.c.
Such
insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed
$100,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Tenant for the replacement
of personal property or the restoration of Tenant owned leasehold improvements. Tenant shall
be
the Insuring Party with respect to the insurance required by this ¶16.d. and shall provide
Landlord
with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
	 
	 	e.  	Insurance Policies. If Tenant is the Insuring Party, Insurance required per this ¶16. shall
be with
companies duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are located,
and
maintaining during the policy term a “General Policyholders Rating” of at least A- X, or
such other
minimal rating as may be required by Lender(s) as set forth in the most current issue of
“Best’s
Insurance Guide”. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate
the
insurance policies referred to in this ¶16. If Tenant is the Insuring Party, Tenant shall
cause to be
delivered to Landlord certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance
with the
insureds and loss payable clauses as required by this Lease. No such policy shall be
cancelable
or subject to modification or lapse except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord.
Tenant shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish
Landlord with
evidence of renewals or certificates of insurance evidencing renewal thereof, or Landlord
may
order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall be payable by
Tenant to Landlord upon demand. If the Insuring Party shall fail to procure and maintain
the
insurance required to be carried by the Insuring Party under this ¶16., the other Party may,
but
shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at Tenant’s expense.
	 
	 	f.  	Mutual Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, to the
extent
that this release and waiver does not invalidate or impair their respective insurance
policies, the
parties hereto release each other and their respective agents, employees, officers,
directors,
shareholders, successors, assignees and subtenants from all liability for injury to any
person or
damage to any property that is caused by or results from a risk which is actually insured
against
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease without regard to the negligence or willful
misconduct of
the parties so released. Each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each
insurance policy it obtains to provide that the insurer thereunder waives all right of
recovery by way
of subrogation as required herein in connection with any injury or damage covered by the
policy. If
such insurance policy cannot be obtained with such waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver
of
subrogation is only available at additional cost and the party for whose benefit the waiver
is not
obtained does not pay such additional costs after reasonable notice, then the party
obtaining such
insurance shall promptly notify the other party of the inability to obtain insurance
coverage with the waiver of subrogation.
	 
	 	g.  	Tenant’s Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if for any
given
policy period, Tenant is able to obtain insurance coverage which meets the requirements of
this
¶16. at a cost lower than Landlord’s cost, then Tenant may be the Insuring Party. At least
thirty
(30) days prior to the beginning of any policy period for which Tenant desires to be the
Insuring
Party, Tenant shall submit to Landlord its insurance quote and proposed policy provisions.
Within
five (5) business days of receipt, Landlord shall review Tenant’s insurance quote and
proposed
policy provisions, and Landlord may request that the lender as to any loan(s) encumbering
the
property described in Exhibit A hereto (“Lender”) also review Tenant’s insurance
quote and
proposed policy provisions. Promptly following said reviews by Lender and Landlord,
Landlord
may, in its reasonable discretion, approve or reject Tenant’s proposed insurance. If
approved,
Tenant shall cause the approved policies to be issued, with copies of the insurance
certificate(s) to
be immediately provided to Landlord. If rejected, Landlord shall specify the reasons for
such




-12-









 






	 	   	rejection in writing. Tenant shall have three (3) business days from the
receipt of Landlord’s written notice of rejection to submit a revised insurance quote
and proposed policy provisions. Within three (3) business days after Landlord’s
receipt of Tenant’s revised insurance quote and policy provisions, Landlord shall
accept Tenant’s revised insurance if it adequately addresses the reasons initially
specified by Landlord for rejection. If in Landlord’s reasonable determination, such
revised insurance quote and policy provisions do not adequately address the reasons
initially specified by Landlord for rejection, Landlord may reject Tenant’s revised
insurance quote and policy provisions by stating the reasons therefor in writing;
however, such rejection shall be final in regard to that policy period, and Landlord
shall be the Insuring Party for that policy period. If Landlord approves Tenant’s
insurance, Tenant’s failure to provide the insurance certificate(s) to Landlord at
least ten (10) business days prior to the commencement of the applicable policy
period shall result in Landlord being the Insuring Party.





17. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION





	 	a.  	Damage Restoration Required. In the event that the Premises is damaged by
fire or other
casualty which is covered under insurance pursuant to the provisions of ¶16. above,
Landlord shall
restore such damage provided that: (i) the cost to repair the destruction of the
Premises does not
exceed sixty percent (60%) of the then replacement value of the Premises; (ii) the
insurance
proceeds are available (inclusive of any deductible amounts) to pay one hundred
percent (100%)
of the cost of restoration; and (iii) there exists at least eighteen (18) months
before the end of the
Term and, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the restoration can be completed
within two
hundred and seventy (270) days after the date of the damage or casualty under the laws
and
regulations of the state, federal, county and municipal authorities having
jurisdiction. Regardless of
whether Tenant or Landlord is the Insuring Party, the deductible amount of any
insurance coverage
shall be paid by Tenant except in the case of flood or earthquake and in such case the
deductible
amount in excess of $10,000 per occurrence shall be paid by Landlord. If such
conditions apply so
as to require Landlord to restore such damage pursuant to this ¶17.a., this Lease shall
continue in
full force and effect, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant.
Tenant shall be
entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such restoration takes place, such
proportionate
reduction to be based on the extent to which the damage and restoration efforts
interfere with
Tenant’s business in the Premises. Tenant’s right to a reduction of Rent hereunder
shall be
Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any such damage.
	 
	 	b.  	Damage - Restoration Not Required. In the event that the Premises is damaged by
a fire or
other casualty and Landlord is not required to restore such damage in accordance with
the
provisions of ¶17.a. immediately above, Landlord shall have the option to either (i)
repair or restore
such damage, with the Lease continuing in full force and effect, but Rent to be
proportionately
abated as provided in ¶17.a. above; or (ii) give notice to Tenant at any time within
thirty (30) days
after the occurrence of such damage terminating this Lease as of a date to be
specified in such
notice which date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days
after the date on
which such notice of termination is given. In the event of the giving of such notice
of termination,
this Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on
the date so
specified in such notice and the Rent, reduced by any proportionate reduction in Rent
as provided
for in ¶17.a. above, shall be paid to the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if
Tenant delivers to Landlord the funds necessary to make up the shortage (or absence)
in
insurance proceeds and the restoration can be completed in a two hundred seventy (270)
day
period, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and the destruction of the Premises does
not
exceed sixty percent (60%) of the then replacement value, Landlord shall restore the
Premises as
provided in ¶17.a. above.
	 
	 	c.  	End of Term Casualty. Notwithstanding the provisions of ¶17.a. and ¶17.b. above,
Landlord may
terminate this Lease if the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty (and
Landlord’s
reasonably estimated cost of restoration of the Premises exceeds twenty-five percent
(25%) of the
then replacement value of the Premises) and such damage or casualty occurs during the
last
twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease (or the Term of any renewal option, if
applicable) by
giving the other notice thereof at any time within thirty (30) days following the
occurrence of such
damage or casualty. Such notice shall specify the date of such termination which date
shall not be
less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days following the date on which such
notice of
termination is given. In the event of the giving of such notice of termination, this
Lease shall expire
and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in
such notice
and the Rent shall be paid to the date of such termination.
	 
	 	d.  	Termination by Tenant. In the event that the destruction to the Premises cannot
be restored as
required herein under applicable laws and regulations within two hundred seventy (270) days of
the damage or casualty, notwithstanding the availability of insurance proceeds, Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease by giving the Landlord notice thereof within thirty (30) days of date
of the occurrence of such casualty specifying the date of termination which shall not be less than
thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days following the date on which such notice of termination
is given. In the event of the giving of such notice of termination, this Lease shall expire and all
interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the
Rent, reduced by any proportionate reduction in Rent as provided for in ¶17.a. above, shall be paid
to the date of such termination.
	 
	 	e.  	Restoration. Landlord agrees that, in any case in which Landlord is required to, or otherwise
agrees to restore the Premises, that Landlord shall proceed with due diligence to make
all
appropriate claims and applications for the proceeds of insurance and to apply for and
obtain all




-13-









 






	 	   	permits necessary for the restoration of the Premises. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to enforce any and all provisions in any mortgage, deed of trust
or other encumbrance on the Premises requiring Landlord and Lender to permit
insurance proceeds to be used for restoration. Landlord shall restore the Premises to
the condition existing prior to the date of the damage if permitted by applicable
law. Landlord shall not be required to restore alterations made by Tenant, Tenant’s
improvements, Tenant’s trade fixtures and Tenant’s personal property, such excluded
items being the sole responsibility of Tenant to restore provided, however, that
Landlord shall, to the extent of available insurance proceeds, restore Tenant
Improvements to the Premises made by Tenant such as interior offices, lab and
production improvements and other like improvements.






	 	f.  	Waiver. Tenant waives the provisions of Civil Code §1932(2) and Civil Code §1933(4) with
respect to any destruction of the Premises.






	18.  	CONDEMNATION






	 	a.  	Definitions. The following definitions shall apply: (1) “Condemnation” means (a)
the exercise of
any governmental power of eminent domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise by
condemnor, or (b) the voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor either
under threat
of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are proceeding; (2) “Date
of Taking”
means the date the condemnor has right to possession of the property being condemned;
(3)
“Award” means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on
a total
or partial condemnation; and (4) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public
authority, or
private corporation or individual, having power of condemnation.
	 
	 	b.  	Obligations to be Governed by Lease. If during the Term of the Lease there is
any taking of all
or any part of the Premises, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be
determined strictly
pursuant to this Lease. Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure
§1265.130
allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the
event of a partial
condemnation of the Premises.
	 
	 	c.  	Total or Partial Taking. If the Premises are totally taken by Condemnation,
this Lease shall
terminate on the Date of Taking. If any portion of the Premises is taken by
Condemnation, this
Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if
the remaining
portion of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for Tenant’s continued use of the
Premises. If
Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant must exercise its right to terminate by
giving notice to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of the Condemnation have
been finally
determined. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall also notify
Landlord of the date
of termination, which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than
ninety (90) days
after Tenant has notified Landlord of its election to terminate; except that this
Lease shall terminate
on the Date of Taking if the Date of Taking falls on a date before the date of
termination as
designated by Tenant. If any portion of the Premises is taken by Condemnation and
this Lease
remains in full force and effect, on the Date of Taking the Base Rent shall be reduced
by an
amount in the same ratio as the total number of square feet in the building(s) which
are a part of
the Premises taken bears to the total number of square feet in the building(s) which
are a part of
the Premises immediately before the Date of Taking. Any Award for the taking of all or
any part of
the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the
exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such Award shall be
made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or
as severance
damages; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any compensation
separately
awarded to Tenant for Tenant’s relocation expenses and/or loss of Tenant’s trade
fixtures.






	19.  	ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE






	 	a.  	Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises
or sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow any other person or entity (except
Tenant’s authorized representatives, employees, invitees, guests or a Permitted
Transferee) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining
Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment,
encumbrance or sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable and
at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default. If Tenant is a partnership, a
withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law of any partner, or
the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant
consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, voluntary or involuntary or
by operation of law from one person to the other shall be deemed a voluntary
assignment. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization of Tenant, or sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the
capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of at least fifty percent (50%) of the value of
the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. Notwithstanding the
sentence immediately above, if the Tenant is a corporation, the Tenant shall be
entitled to assign this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent in the event of
a reorganization of Tenant through the sale of all or a portion of Tenant’s Capital
Stock by Initial Public Offering (such event shall be referred to as a transfer to a
“Permitted Transferee”). In connection with any assignment, Landlord shall be entitled
to require an increase in the Security Deposit to the extent that such increase should
be commercially reasonable in Landlord’s discretion given the financial condition of
Tenant and the assignee following such event. In connection with any Sublease, Landlord
shall be entitled to hold any Security Deposit paid by Sublessee to Sublessor, which
Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of the
Sublease. Tenant shall give Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of
any intended transfer to a Permitted Transferee and in connection with such transfer
shall provide to Landlord copies of any documents




-14-









 






	 	  	or other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Landlord, no assignment shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations
pursuant to this Lease.






	 	   	In the event of a sublease all Sublease Rent received by Tenant in excess of the Rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease applicable to the portion of the Premises
subleased shall be deemed the “Bonus Amount”, after
deducting therefrom the “Subleasing
Costs” which shall include (i) commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, (ii) tenant
improvements made at the request of a subtenant and (iii) attorneys’ fees incurred by
Tenant in negotiating and documenting the sublease, which Subleasing Costs shall be
amortized over the Term of the Sublease for the purpose of determining the Bonus Amount.
Fifty percent (50%) of the Bonus Amount shall be promptly paid to Landlord following
receipt by Tenant. If the Subleasing Costs are not known at the commencement of the
sublease, the fifty percent (50%) of Bonus Amount due Landlord will be computed without
deduction of Subleasing Costs and promptly paid to Landlord. Once the Subleasing Costs are
presented to and verified by Landlord, the Bonus Amount paid by Tenant to date will be
adjusted and Landlord shall give Tenant a credit against the next payment(s) due to
Landlord from Tenant. The term “Sublease Rent” as used herein shall include any
consideration of any kind received by Tenant from or on behalf of any subtenant, if the
sums are related in any manner to the Premises, including, without limitation Rent,
operating expense payments, bonus money and payments for the purchase of or usage of
Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, inventory, equipment, accounts, goodwill, general intangibles
and other assets. Each sublease approved by Landlord shall stand alone as to the
computation of the Bonus Amount.
	 
	 	   	In the event of an assignment all Transfer Payments received by Tenant shall be deemed the
“Bonus Amount”, after deducting therefrom the
“Assignment Costs” which shall include (i)
commercially reasonable brokerage commissions and (ii) attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant
in negotiating and documenting the assignment. Fifty percent (50%) of the Bonus Amount
shall be promptly paid to Landlord following receipt by Tenant. If the Assignment Costs are
not known at the commencement of the Assignment, the fifty percent (50%) of Bonus Amount
due Landlord will be computed without deduction of Assignment Costs and promptly paid to
Landlord. Once the Assignment Costs are presented to and verified by Landlord, the Bonus
Amount paid by Tenant to date will be adjusted and Landlord shall give Tenant a credit
against the next payment(s) due to Landlord from Tenant. The term
“Transfer Payments” as
used herein shall include any consideration of any kind received by Tenant from or on
behalf of any assignee, if the sums are related in any manner to the Premises, including,
without limitation assignment consideration, Rent, operating expense payments, bonus money
and payments for the purchase of or usage of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, inventory,
equipment, accounts, goodwill, general intangibles and other assets.
	 
	 	   	If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, an amount equal to Landlord’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such request, (not to
exceed $5,000). Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in
writing, and shall be accompanied by information as may be relevant to Landlord’s
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and stability of the
proposed assignee or sublessee and the appropriateness of the proposed use by such assignee
or sublessee. Such information shall include a summary of the proposed use of, and any
proposed modifications to, the Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord with such other or
additional information and/or documentation as may reasonably be requested by Landlord.
Tenant shall, upon completion of any assignment or subletting of all or any portion of the
Premises, immediately and irrevocably assign to Landlord as security for Tenant’s
obligations under the Lease, all Sublease Rent and/or Transfer Payments from any such
subletting or assignment. Landlord, as assignee and attorney in fact for Tenant, shall have
the right to collect all rent and other revenues collectable pursuant to any such sublet or
assignment and apply such rent and other revenues towards Tenant’s obligations under the
Lease.
	 
	 	b.  	No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary assignment through
operation of law (including without limitation the transfer of this Lease by testacy or
intestacy).
Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) if Tenant is
or
becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
institutes
proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; or if Tenant is a
partnership
or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other
person or
entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or
(b) if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) if in any
proceeding or action
to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the
Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall
have
the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as
an asset
of Tenant.
	 
	 	c.  	Notwithstanding any provision to this Lease to the contrary, in any event where Landlord’s
consent
is required for assignment or sublease, Landlord may at its option, elect to terminate the
Lease
instead of approving the requested assignment or sublease, except if the requested
assignment or
sublease is for a period of less than one year (including any renewal periods). Should
Landlord so
elect to terminate this Lease, all of the obligations of the parties thereunder, to the
extent not
accrued, shall terminate on the later of sixty (60) days following Landlord’s notice to
Tenant of its
election hereunder, or the effective date of the proposed assignment or subletting sought by
the
Tenant, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of
Landlord’s
election under this ¶ 19.c. At the time of termination, all obligations of both parties
hereunder shall




-15-









 






	 	   	terminate as to obligations thereafter accruing except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Lease.






	20.  	DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) a
failure of
Tenant to pay Rent within ten (10) days of its due date; (b) abandonment of the Premises; or
(c) failure to
timely perform any other provision of this Lease where such failure continues for a period in
excess of thirty
days following notice of such failure, provided however, that if the nature of such failure
is such that it
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty days, then Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant
commences to
cure such failure within thirty days and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to
completion. Tenant shall
give written notice to Landlord of any default by Landlord of its obligations pursuant to
this Lease asserted
by Tenant (with a copy of such notice to any lender
(“Lender”) against the Premises).
Landlord and
Landlord’s Lender shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure any claimed default by
Landlord and
Landlord shall not be considered in default so long as Landlord (or Landlord’s Lender)
commences such
cure within a reasonable period of time and thereafter, continues to attempt to complete such
cure. Prior to
any obligation recited in this Lease to provide a Lender with any notice, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with
the name and address of its Lender in writing.






	21.  	LANDLORD’S REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant is in default
(these
remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later
allowed by
law):






	 	a.  	Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease will
continue in effect so
long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall
have the right
to collect Rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord can enter
the Premises
and relet the Premises, or any part of the Premises, to third parties for Tenant’s
account. Tenant
shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting
the Premises,
including without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the
Premises required
by the reletting, and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer
than the remaining
Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent due under this Lease on the
dates the
Rent is due, less the Rent Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord
allowed by this ¶ 21.a. shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that
Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease. After Tenant’s default and for so long as Landlord does not
terminate
Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord’s consent,
Tenant shall
have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease, but Tenant shall not
be released from
liability. Landlord’s consent to such a proposed assignment or subletting shall not
be unreasonably
withheld. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in
this ¶ 21.a., Rent
that Landlord
receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of: first, any indebtedness
from Tenant to
Landlord other than Rent due from Tenant; second, all costs, including for
maintenance incurred by
Landlord in reletting; and third, Rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After
deducting the
payments referred to in this ¶ 21.a., any sum remaining from the Rent 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. If,
on the date Rent is due under this Lease, the Rent received from the reletting is
less than the Rent
due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining Rent
due, all costs
including for maintenance Landlord incurred in reletting that remain after applying
the Rent
received from the reletting as provided in this ¶ 21.a.; and
	 
	 	b.  	Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any such
time. No act by
Landlord other than giving express written notice thereof 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. Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession,
Landlord has the
right to recover from Tenant: (1) the Worth of the unpaid Rent that had been earned
at the time of
termination of Tenant’s right to possession; (2) the Worth of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent
that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award
exceeds the
amount of the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (3)
the Worth
of the amount of the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the award
throughout the
remaining Term of the Lease to the extent such unpaid Rent exceeds the amount of the
loss of
Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (4) any other amount,
including
but not limited to, reasonable expenses incurred to relet the Premises, court costs,
attorneys’ fees
and collection costs necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by
Tenant’s
default. The “Worth”, as used above in (1) and
(2) in this ¶ 21.b. is to be computed
by allowing
interest at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum legal
interest rate
permitted by law. The “Worth”, as used above in (3) in
this ¶ 21.b. is to be computed
by discounting
the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of the
award, plus one percent (1%).






	22.  	ENTRY OF PREMISES. Landlord and/or its authorized representatives shall have the right
after
reasonable notice except for emergencies to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for
any of the
following purposes: (a) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether
Tenant is
complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) to do any necessary maintenance and to
make any
restoration to the Premises that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (c) to post
“for sale” signs at
any time during the Term, or to post “for rent” or “for lease” signs during the last one
hundred eighty (180)
days of the Term or during any period while Tenant is in default; (d) to show the Premises to
prospective
brokers, lenders, agents, buyers, tenants or persons interested in leasing or purchasing the
Premises, at
any time during the Term; or (e) to repair, maintain or improve the Premises and to erect
scaffolding and
protective barricades around and about the Premises but not so as to prevent entry to the
Premises or to




-16-









 






	   	unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises and to do any other act or
thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises. Landlord shall not be
liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or
other damage arising out of Landlord’s entry onto the Premises
as provided in this ¶ 22.
Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of Rent if Landlord exercises any
rights reserved in this ¶ 22. Landlord shall conduct its activities on the Premises as
provided herein in a commercially reasonable manner that will lessen the inconvenience,
annoyance or disturbance to Tenant.






	23.  	SUBORDINATION.






	 	a.  	Automatic Subordination. Without the necessity of any additional document being
executed by
Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of Landlord
or Landlord’s
Lender, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (i) all ground
leases or
underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the
Premises, (ii) the lien
of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed
affecting the
Premises, and (iii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may hereafter be
executed in
any amount for which the Premises, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord’s
interest or
estate in any of said items is specified as security. In the event that any ground
lease or underlying
lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a
conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any
subordination, attorn
to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest (including without limitation
to Lender) to
Landlord (“Successor”). In connection with any such termination of a ground lease or
underlying
lease or any foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure made in connection with
any
mortgage or deed of trust, then so long as Tenant is not in default after all
applicable notice and
cure periods pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession
of the
Premises or in the enjoyment of its rights pursuant to this Lease during the Term of
this Lease or
any extension or renewal thereof. Notwithstanding any subordination of this Lease to
the lien of
any mortgage or deed of trust, the Lender, at any time, shall be entitled to
subordinate the lien of
its mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease by filing a notice of subordination in
the County in which
the Premises are located, and Lender shall agree in connection with any such filing,
that Tenant
shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in
default pursuant
to this Lease. In connection with any such filing, Tenant shall be obligated to
attorn to and to
become a Tenant of any Successor.
	 
	 	b.  	Additional Subordination. From time to time at the request of Landlord, Tenant
covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver within ten (10) business days following the date of
written request
from Landlord, documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with
respect to any
ground lease or underlying lease or the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust in
connection with the
Premises. Any and all such documents shall be in such form as is reasonably
acceptable to the
Lender(s). Any subordination agreement so requested by Landlord shall provide for
Tenant to
attorn to the Successor and shall further provide that Tenant shall not be disturbed
in its
possession of the Premises or in the enjoyment of its rights pursuant to this Lease
so long as
Tenant is not in default after all applicable notice and cure periods with respect to
its obligations
pursuant to the Lease. Any such Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment
Agreement shall
be recorded in the official records of the office of the County Recorder in the
County in which the
Premises is located.
	 
	 	c.  	Notice from Lender. Tenant shall be entitled to rely upon any notice given by
a Lender in
connection with the Premises requesting that Tenant make all future Rent payments to
such
Lender, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for any payment made to such
Lender in
accordance with such notice. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of this
Lease, a
Successor shall not be (i) obligated to recognize the payment of Rent for a period of
more than one
month in advance; (ii) responsible for liabilities accrued pursuant to this Lease
prior to the date
(“Succession Date”) upon which the Successor becomes the “Landlord”
hereunder; (iii)
responsible to cure defaults of the Landlord pursuant to this Lease existing as of
the Succession
Date, except for defaults of a continuing nature of which Successor received notice
(as provided in
Paragraph 20) and in respect of which Tenant afforded Successor a reasonable cure
period
following such notice; (iv) responsible for any Security Deposit delivered by Tenant
pursuant to this
Lease not actually received by the Successor; or (v) bound by any execution,
modification,
termination or extension of this Lease or any grant of a purchase option or right of
first refusal or
any other action taken by the Landlord pursuant to this Lease, except in accordance
with the
provisions of an assignment of Leases executed by Landlord in favor of a Lender.






	24.  	ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; TENANT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Tenant, at any time and from time to
time, upon not less than ten (10) business days written notice from Landlord, will execute,
acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord and, at Landlord’s request, to any existing or prospective
purchaser, ground lessor
or mortgagee of any part of the Premises, a certificate of Tenant stating: (a) that Tenant
has accepted the
Premises (or, if Tenant has not done so, Tenant has not accepted the Premises and specifying
the reasons
therefor); (b) the Commencement and Expiration Dates of this Lease; (c) that this Lease is
unmodified and
in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that same is in full force
and effect as modified
and stating the modifications); (d) whether or not to the best of Tenant’s knowledge there
are then existing
any defenses against the enforcement of any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease
(and, if so,
specifying same); (e) whether or not to the best of Tenant’s knowledge there are then
existing any defaults
by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under this Lease (and, if so, specifying
same); (f) the
dates, if any, to which the Rent and other charges under this Lease have been paid; (g)
whether or not
there are Rent increases during the Lease Term and if so the amount of same; (h) whether or
not the
Lease contains any options or rights of first offer or first refusal; (i) the amount of any
Security Deposit or




-17-









 






	  	other sums due Tenant; (j) the current notice address for Tenant; and (k) any other
information that may reasonably be required by any of such persons. It is intended that any
such certificate of Tenant delivered pursuant to this ¶ 24. may be relied upon by Landlord and
any existing or prospective purchaser, ground lessor or mortgagee of the Premises. Provided
Tenant is not a publicly traded company which files with the SEC, Tenant will, at any time
upon request by Landlord, to deliver to Landlord the most recent financial statements of
Tenant with an opinion of a certified public accountant, if available, including a balance
sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent prior three years all prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Landlord
agrees to hold such financial statements confidential and to share them only with
prospective lenders and purchasers of the Premises. Other than for prospective lenders and
purchasers, Landlord shall not request financial statements more often than twice in any
calendar year.






	25.  	WAIVER. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord shall impair
such right
or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Landlord, including without
limitation,
acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of
the Premises by
Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall
constitute
acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish termination of the Lease.
Landlord’s consent
to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive
or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any
waiver by
Landlord of any Default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other Default
concerning the
same or any other provision of the Lease.
	 
	26.  	SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Upon expiration of the Term, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the
Premises and all tenant improvements and alterations clean and in the same condition as
existed at the
Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and tear and Alterations which Tenant has the
right or is
obligated to remove under the provisions of ¶ 14. herein. Tenant shall remove all personal
property
including, without limitation, all wallpaper, paneling and other decorative improvements or
fixtures and shall
perform all restoration made necessary by the removal of any alterations or Tenant’s
fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and other personal property before the expiration of the Term, including, for
example, restoring
all wall surfaces to their condition as of the Commencement Date. In any event, Tenant shall
cause the
following to be done prior to the expiration or the sooner termination of this Lease: (i) all
interior walls shall
be cleaned so that they appear freshly painted; (ii) all tiled floors shall be cleaned and
waxed; (iii) all
carpets shall be cleaned and shampooed; (iv) all broken, marred, stained or nonconforming
acoustical
ceiling tile shall be replaced; (v) all exterior and interior windows shall be washed; (vi)
the HVAC system
shall be serviced by a reputable and licensed service firm and left in good operating
condition and repair as
so certified by such firm; and (vii) the plumbing and electrical systems and lighting shall
be placed in good
order and repair (including replacement of any burned out, discolored or broken light bulbs,
ballasts, or
lenses). Landlord can elect to retain or dispose of in any manner Tenant’s personal property
not removed
from the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term. Tenant waives all claims
against Landlord
for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of Tenant’s
personal property.
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord’s cost for storage, removal and disposal of
Tenant’s
personal property.
	 
	27.  	HOLDOVER. If Tenant with Landlord’s consent remains in possession of the Premises after
expiration of
the Term or after the date in any notice given by Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease,
such
possession by Tenant shall be deemed to be a month to month tenancy cancelable by either
party on thirty
(30) days written notice given at any time by either party and all provisions of this Lease,
except those
pertaining to Term, renewal options and Base Rent, shall apply and Tenant shall thereafter
pay monthly
Base Rent computed on a per month basis, for each month or part thereof (without reduction
for any partial
month) that Tenant remains in possession, in an amount equal to one hundred thirty-five
percent (135%) of
the Base Rent that was in effect for the last full calendar month immediately preceding
expiration of the
Term.
	 
	   	If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof,
without the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall become a Tenant at sufferance only with a
continuing obligation to pay Rent provided that the Base Rent shall be one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Base Rent that was in effect for the last full calendar month
immediately preceding expiration of the Term for the first thirty (30) days of such
holdover, and two hundred percent (200%) of such Base Rent thereafter during the pendency
of such holdover. In any such case of Holdover without the consent of Landlord, the monthly
Base Rent shall be computed on a per-month basis, for each month or part thereof (without
reduction for any partial month) that Tenant remains in possession. Acceptance by Landlord
of Rent after expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall not constitute a consent
to a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal. The foregoing
provisions of this ¶ 27 are in
addition to and do not affect Landlord’s right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord
hereunder or as otherwise provided by law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon
the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability arising out of such failure,
including without limitation, any claim made by any succeeding tenant founded on or
resulting from such failure to surrender. No provision of this ¶ 27 shall be construed as
implied consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. Landlord expressly reserves the
right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in
this Lease upon expiration or other termination of this Lease. The
provisions of this ¶ 27
shall not be considered to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of
Landlord provided in this Lease or at law.
	 
	28.  	NOTICES. All notices, demands, or other communications required or contemplated under this
Lease,
including any notice delivered to Tenant by the Lender, shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have
been duly given 48 hours from the time of mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail,
return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or 24 hours from the time of shipping by overnight carrier, or
the actual time of




-18-









 






	   	delivery if delivered by personal service to the parties at the addresses specified in
¶ 1. Either Tenant or Landlord may change the address to which notices are to be given to such
party hereunder by giving written notice of such change of address to the other in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof.






	29.  	OPTIONS TO EXTEND.






	 	a.  	Grant of Options. Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to extend the
Lease for two (2)
additional periods of thirty (30) months each (the
“Extended Terms”) on an “as is”
basis, each
such Extended Term commencing at the expiration of the then current Term, provided
that at the
time of exercise and at the time of commencement of each Extended Term, Tenant is not
in default
under this Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods.
	 
	 	b.  	Exercise of Option. If Tenant decides to extend the Lease for an Extended
Term, Tenant shall
give written notice to Landlord of its election to extend not less than nine (9)
months prior to the
expiration of the then current Term. Tenant’s failure to give timely notice to
Landlord of Tenant’s
election to extend shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to extend. The terms
and conditions
applicable to each Extended Term shall be the same terms and conditions contained in
this Lease
except that Tenant shall not be entitled to any further option to extend beyond these
two extension
options. The Base Rent for each Extended Term shall be determined in accordance with
¶ 29.c.
below:
	 
	 	c.  	Determination of Base Rent During Each Extended Term






	 	1)  	Agreement of Base Rent. Landlord shall provide Tenant with
written notice of the
proposed Fair Market Rental Value (as defined below) no later than three (3)
months prior
to the expiration of the then current Term. Landlord and Tenant shall have
thirty (30) days
after Landlord provides the proposed Fair Market Rental Value in which to
agree on the
Base Rent for that Extended Term. The “Fair Market Rental
Value” of the
Premises for
that Extended Term shall be the Base Rent per rentable square foot as of the
commencement of that Extended Term, including three percent (3%) annual
increases,
taking into consideration all relevant market factors, including the use of
the Premises
permitted under this Lease, the quality, size, design and location of the
Premises, and the
rental value paid by tenants for lease renewals or extensions in premises of
comparable
size, quality and location. Base Rent for the first twelve (12) months of
that Extended
Term shall be 95% of the Fair Market Rental Value, with 3% annual increases to
be
effective at the beginning of each subsequent lease year. If Landlord and
Tenant agree on
the Base Rent for that Extended Term during the thirty (30) day period, they
shall
immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the new Base
Rent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Base Rent for the first
twelve (12)
months of each Extended Term shall be no less than the scheduled Base Rent for
the last
month of the previous Lease Term plus three percent (3%), with three percent
(3%) annual
increases to be effective at the beginning of each subsequent lease year.
	 
	 	2)  	Selection of Appraisers. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to
agree on the Base Rent
for that Extended Term within the thirty (30) day period, then within ten (10)
business days
after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period and provided that Tenant
has timely
exercised the subject renewal option in accordance with ¶ 29.b., Landlord and
Tenant each
at its own cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a
competent and
disinterested real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time
commercial appraisal
experience in the Milpitas, California, market area to appraise the Fair
Market Rental Value
of the Premises and set the Base Rent for that Extended Term. If either
Landlord or
Tenant does not appoint an appraiser within said ten (10) business days, the
single
appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the Base Rent
during that
Extended Term. If two (2) appraisers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as
stated
herein, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Base Rent for that
Extended Term.
If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after
the second
appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser
meeting the
same qualifications within ten (10) business days after the last day the two
(2) appraisers
are given to set the Base Rent. If they are unable to agree on the third
appraiser, either
Landlord or Tenant, by giving ten (10) days’ notice to the other party, can
apply to the then
President of the Real Estate Board or to the Presiding Judge of the Superior
Court of the
County of Santa Clara, for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the
qualifications
stated herein. Landlord and Tenant each shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost
of appointing
the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. The third
appraiser, however
selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for
either
Landlord or Tenant, or their affiliates.
	 
	 	3)  	Value Determined by Three (3) Appraisers. Within thirty (30) days
after the selection of
the third appraiser, a majority of the appraisers shall set the Base Rent for
that Extended
Term. If a majority of the appraisers are unable to set the Base Rent within
the stipulated
period of time, Landlord’s appraiser shall arrange for simultaneous exchange
of written
appraisals from each of the appraisers and the three (3) appraisals shall be
added
together and their total divided by three (3); the resulting quotient shall be
the Base Rent
for the Premises for that Extended Term. If, however, the low appraisal
and/or the high
appraisal are/is more than fifteen percent (15%) lower and/or higher than the
middle
appraisal, such low appraisal and/or high appraisal shall be disregarded. If
only one (1)
appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added
together and




-19-









 






	 	   	their total divided by two (2); the resulting quotient shall be the Base
Rent for the Premises for that Extended Term. If both the low appraisal and
the high appraisal are disregarded as stated in this ¶ 29.c.3), the middle
appraisal shall be the Base Rent for the Premises at the commencement of that
Extended Term.






	30.  	PREVIOUS LEASE. The previous lease for the Premises
between the parties hereto (the “Prior
Lease”)
shall continue in full force and effect through December 31, 2003, but shall have no effect
thereafter except
as to obligations existing as of December 31, 2003 but not yet satisfied including, without
limitation, any
and all indemnification obligations.
	 
	31.  	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.






	 	a.  	Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Lease.
	 
	 	b.  	Successor. This Lease shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their
successors, except as provided in ¶ 19.
	 
	 	c.  	Landlord’s Consent. Any consent required by Landlord under this Lease must be
granted in
writing and may be withheld or conditioned by Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion unless
otherwise provided.
	 
	 	d.  	Personal Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision(s) of this Lease to the
contrary, any
provisions of this Lease providing for the renewal, extension or early termination of
the Lease
and/or for the expansion of the Premises (to include without limitation rights to
negotiate, rights of
first refusal, etc.) shall be (i) personal to the original Tenant and shall not be
assignable or
otherwise transferable other than to a Permitted Transferee (either voluntarily or
involuntarily) to
any third party for any reason whatsoever, and (ii) conditioned upon Tenant not then
being in
default under this Lease.
	 
	 	e.  	Commissions. Each party represents that it has not had dealings with any real
estate broker,
finder or other person with respect to this Lease in any manner, except for the
Broker(s) identified
in ¶ 1., who shall be compensated by Landlord in accordance with the separate agreement
between Landlord and the Broker(s).
	 
	 	f.  	Other Charges; Legal Fees. If Landlord becomes a party to any litigation
concerning this Lease
or the Premises by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s authorized
representatives,
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs
incurred by
Landlord in the litigation, after Landlord provides written notice of the action
to Tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for up to $2,000 in
reasonable
attorney’s fees and court costs incurred prior to Landlord giving Tenant notice of the
action.
Should the court render a decision which is thereafter appealed by any party thereto,
Tenant shall
be liable to Landlord for reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by
Landlord in
connection with such appeal.
	 
	 	   	If either party commences any litigation against the other party or files an appeal
of a decision arising out of or in connection with the Lease, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of suit. If Landlord employs an attorney to recover delinquent charges,
Tenant agrees to pay all attorneys’ fees and costs charged to Landlord in addition
to Rent, late charges, interest and other sums payable under this Lease.
	 
	 	g.  	Landlord’s Successors. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the
Premises, the
same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability under this Lease, including
as to any
Security Deposit to the extent transferred to Landlord’s successor-in-interest, and in
such event
Landlord’s successor in interest shall be solely responsible for all obligations of
Landlord under this
Lease.
	 
	 	h.  	Interpretation. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. This Lease constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Premises, except for
such guarantees or modifications as may be executed in writing by the parties from
time to time. When required by the context of this Lease, the singular shall include
the plural, and the masculine shall include the feminine and/or neuter. “Party” shall
mean Landlord or Tenant. If more than one person or entity constitutes Landlord or
Tenant, the obligations imposed upon that party shall be joint and several. The
enforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision shall not render the other
provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal.
	 
	 	i.  	Auctions. Tenant shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either voluntarily or
involuntarily,
any auction upon the Premises without first having obtained Landlord’s prior
written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord
shall not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining
whether to grant such consent.
	 
	 	j.  	Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Tenant of the Rent for the Premises and the observance
and performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part
to be observed and performed under this Lease, Tenant shall have quiet possession
of the Premises for the entire Term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease.

	 	k.  	Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this
Lease and the typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by
the typewritten or handwritten provisions.
	 
	 	l.  	Offer. Preparation of this Lease by Landlord or Landlord’s agent and submission of
same to
Tenant shall not be deemed an offer to lease to Tenant. This Lease is not
intended to be binding until executed by all Parties hereto.
	 
	 	m.  	Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed
by the Parties in interest at the time of the modification. The parties
shall amend this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that
are made to the Base Rent or other Rent payable under this Lease. As long
as they do not materially change Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant
agrees to make reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may
be reasonably required by Lender(s) in connection with the obtaining of
normal financing or refinancing of the property of which the Premises are a
part.
	 
	 	n.  	Construction. The Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that each has
had its counsel review this Lease, and hereby agree that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this
Lease or in any amendments or exhibits hereto.

EXHIBIT B




Rules & Regulations




This Exhibit B is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease dated December 31, 2003 by and
between Limar Realty Corp. #4 as Landlord and LSI Logic Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as
Tenant.




For the purpose of these Rules & Regulations the word Premises shall refer to the Premises Tenant
is leasing as described in the Lease.





	 	1.  	No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice (collectively, “Signs”) shall
be installed or displayed on any part of the Premises after the Commencement Date without
the prior written consent of Landlord, except that Tenant may post Signs inside the
Building which are not visible from the exterior of the Building. Landlord shall have the
right to remove, at Tenant’s expense and without notice, any sign installed or displayed in
violation of this rule. All approved signs or lettering on doors and walls shall be
printed, painted, affixed or inscribed at the expense of Tenant.
	 
	 	2.  	Except for that which exists as of the Commencement Date or that consented to in
writing by Landlord, no draperies, curtains, blinds, shades, screens or other devices shall
be hung at or used in connection with any window or exterior door or doors of the Premises
and no awning shall be permitted on any part of the Premises. Tenant shall not place
anything against or near glass partitions or doors or windows which may appear unsightly
from outside the Premises.
	 
	 	3.  	Neither Tenant nor any employee or invitee of Tenant, shall make any structural roof or
terrace penetrations.
	 
	 	4.  	Tenant shall not cause any unnecessary labor by carelessness or indifference to the
good order and cleanliness of the Premises. Landlord shall not in any way be responsible
to any Tenant for any loss of property on the Premises, or for any damage to any Tenant’s

	 	5.  	Landlord will furnish Tenant, free of charge, with six (6) keys to the Premises.
Tenant shall not make or have made additional keys without Landlord’s prior written
consent, and Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a new additional lock or bolt on
any door of its Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, except for electronic
locks existing at the Commencement Date. Tenant, upon the termination of its tenancy,
shall deliver to Landlord the keys of all locks for doors on the Premises, and in the event
of loss of any keys furnished by Landlord, shall pay Landlord therefor.
	 
	 	6.  	If Tenant requires telegraphic, telephonic, burglar alarm or similar services that do

reasonable instructions in their installation.
	 
	 	7.  	Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises which exceeds the load per
square foot which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord
shall have the reasonable right to prescribe the weight, size and position of all
equipment, materials, furniture or other property brought into the Premises. Heavy
objects shall, if considered necessary by Landlord, stand on such platforms as determined
by Landlord to be necessary to properly distribute the weight. Business machines and
mechanical equipment belonging to Tenant, which cause noise or vibration that may be

     7.2 Right to Enter: So long as Prudential shall be serving as the Approving
Agent, Prudential, and only Prudential, in addition to any other remedy available, may, with
respect to a violation or breach of the covenants to maintain as set forth in Paragraph 5.8, and
only with respect to a breach or violation of the covenants to maintain as contained in paragraph

action it may deem necessary to effect compliance with the provisions of said Paragraph 5.8,
including without limitation making of such repairs or the performance of such required maintenance
necessary to conform to the requirements imposed by these Restrictions at the expense of the Owner
of said lot, provided that Prudential shall have first given to the Owner of such lot at least
sixty (60) days prior written notice of its intention to do so and then, only if, said Owner of
such lot shall have failed to correct said violation or breach within said sixty (60) day period if
such violation or breach was curable within sixty (60) days, or if not curable within sixty (60)
days then only if such Owner shall have failed to commence and then be diligently seeking to so

lot shall be respons-




-25-









 








E 545 PAGE 214




ible to reimburse Prudential forthwith upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (“Non-Compliance Expenses”) in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
Each Owner of any lot within the Oak Creek Business Park by acceptance of a deed or other
conveyance whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such deed or other conveyance, is and
shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay to Prudential an assessment for any Non-Compliance
Expenses incurred by Prudential in connection with such Owner’s lot.




          A. Prudential shall maintain accurate books and records reflecting any Non-Compliance
Expenses, and shall provide each Owner of an affected lot a statement
with respect thereto.’ Each
affected Owner shall pay Non-Compliance Expenses incurred applicable to such Owner’s lot within
ten (10) days of receipt of a statement. If such statement is deposited in the United States mail
duly, certified or registered with postage prepaid and addressed to the Owner affected thereby at
his lot, the same shall be deemed received by such Owner on the fifth (5th) business day after
such deposit.



          B. Any Non-Compliance Expenses assessments, together with such interest thereon and costs of
collection thereof as provided hereinbelow, shall be a charge on the lot and shall be a continuing
lien upon the lot against




-26-









 








E 545 PAGE 215




which such assessments are made. The lien shall become effective upon recordation of a notice
of claim of lien as provided herein. Such assessment, together with such interest and costs, shall
also be the personal obligation of the person who is the Owner of such lot at the time when the
assessment, or any portion thereof, fell due but in no event shall the person who is the Owner
of such lot be personally obligated for a sum in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for any
given violation (but without limiting the amount that may become a lien upon such lot for any given
violation or the aggregate of the personal obligation for successive violations). Any personal
obligation created hereunder shall not pass to such Owners successors in title unless it is
expressly assumed by them but any lien created hereunder shall remain a charge against the lot
except as to “bonafide purchasers or encumbrancers for value”, without notice of same. No Owner
may waive or otherwise escape personal liability for the personal assessment provided herein by
non-use or abandonment of his lot.




          C. If any Non-Compliance Expenses assessment or any portion thereof is not paid within ten
(10) days after the date due it shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the then legal
rate, and, in addition to all other legal and equitable rights or remedies, Prudential may, at its
option, bring an action at law against the Owner




-27-









 








E 545 PAGE 216




who is personally obligated to pay the same, or upon compliance with the notice provisions set
forth hereinbelow, to foreclose the lien against the affected lot, and there shall be added to the
amount of such assessment or any portion thereof, the interest thereon, all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by Prudential and in collecting the delinquent
assessment. In lieu of judicially foreclosing the lien, Prudential, at its option, may foreclose
such lien by proceeding under a power of sale as provided hereinbelow, such a power of sale being
given to Prudential, as to each and every lot for the purpose of collecting assessments.




          D. No action shall be brought to foreclose the lien, or to proceed under the power of sale,
less than thirty (30) days after the date that a notice of claim of lien, executed by Prudential,
is recorded, stating the amount claimed (which may include interest and cost of collection,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees), a good and sufficient legal description of the lot being
assessed, the name of the record Owner or reputed Owner thereof, and the name and address of
Prudential as claimant. A copy of said notice of claim shall be deposited in the United States
mail, certified or registered, with postage prepaid, to the Owner of said lot.




-28-









 








E 545 PAGE 217




          E. Any such sale provided for above shall be conducted in accordance with
Sections 2924, 2924(b), and 2924(c) of the Civil Code of the State of California, applicable
to the exercise of powers of sale in mortgages and deeds of trust, or in any other manner
permitted or provided by law. Prudential shall have the power to bid on the lot at the
foreclosure sale, and to acquire and hold, mortgage and convey the same.



          F. Upon the timely curing of any default for which a notice of claim of lien was recorded
by Prudential, Prudential is hereby authorized to file or record, as the case may be, an
appropriate release of such notice, upon payment by the defaulting Owner of a fee to be
determined by Prudential but not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500), to cover the costs of
preparing and filing or recording such release together with the payment of such other costs,
interest or fees as shall have been incurred.



          G. The
assessment lien and the rights to foreclosure and sale thereunder shall be
in addition to and not in substitution for all other rights and remedies which
Prudential may have hereunder, at law or in equity.



     7.3 Result of Violation: The result of every action or omission whereby the
provisions of this Declaration are violated in whole or in part is hereby declared to be and
to constitute a nuisance, and every remedy allowed by law or




-29-









 








E 545 PAGE 218




equity shall be available to any Owner of any lot within the Oak Creek Business Park.




     7.4 Attorney’s Fees: In any legal or equitable proceeding for the enforcement of the
provisions of this Declaration, whether it be an action for damages, declaratory relief or
injunctive relief, the losing party or parties shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the prevailing
party or parties, in such reasonable amount as may be fixed by the court in such proceedings, or
in a separate action brought for that purpose. The prevailing party shall be entitled to said
attorneys’ fees, even though said proceeding is settled prior to judgment.



     7.5 Remedies Cumulative: All remedies provided herein, or at law or in equity
shall be cumulative and not exclusive.



     7.6 Waiver: Failure by the Approving Agent to enforce the provisions of this
Declaration shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter, nor of the
right to enforce any other covenants or restrictions herein, nor of the rights of other Owners
of the property within the Oak Creek Business Park to enforce same.



     7.7 Prudential: For purposes of this Article 7 the term “Prudential” shall include
