3.1

Base Rent.  Subject to any increases under Section 3.2 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as minimum annual rent, without deduction, setoff, prior notice, or demand, the sum equal to $7.041 per square foot per year ($0.5867 per square foot per month), which is equal to $102,368.04 per year (the “Base Rent”), payable in equal monthly installments of $8,530.67 per month.

Base Rent shall be increased during the Initial Term and any Extended Term in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof.  Any monthly installment of Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated at the rate of 1/30th of the monthly Base Rent per day.  All rent shall be paid to Landlord at the address to which notices to Landlord are given.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this sum is not a penalty but is a reasonable estimate of the administrative costs and expenses which Landlord will incur as a result of Tenant’s late payment.  Any charges imposed for late payment charges pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be in addition to all other amounts owing pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation interest charges.

Waiver of Subrogation.  The parties release each other, and their respective authorized representatives, from any claims for damage to any person or to the Premises and to the fixtures, personal property, Tenant’s improvements, and alterations of either Landlord or Tenant in or on the Premises that are caused by or result from risks insured against under any insurance policies carried by the parties in force at the time of any such damage to the extent that such policies cover the loss or damage.

Tenant expressly acknowledges that all of the foregoing provisions of this Article shall apply and become effective from and after the date Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant.

6.10

Assumption of Risk.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, after commencement of the term of this Lease, Tenant assumes full risk of damage to its personal property, fixtures, equipment, tools, improvements, stock, goods, wares, or merchandise that it may have in or on or about the Premises, where such damage results from fire, lightning, extended coverage perils, flood, or any catastrophe, regardless of cause or origin.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, including Tenant’s insurance carrier or carriers, for any loss or damage resulting from fire, lightning or extended coverage perils, or from an act of God.

SECTION 7 - DESTRUCTION

7.1

Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty.  If the Premises shall be damaged by fire, unavoidable accident, or other casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance and such damage is not caused by the act, or failure to act, of Tenant, its employees, agents, licensees, permittees, or invitees, Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired.  If the Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by reason of such occurrence, Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired; provided, however, in the event the Premises cannot be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days, Landlord may, at its election, made within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Lease.  In the event of such termination, rent shall be abated from and after such date of the damage or destruction.  In the event Landlord does not terminate this Lease following damage or destruction of the Premises, Landlord shall commence and complete a restoration of the Premises within a reasonable time after such damage or destruction.  Tenant agrees to give Landlord immediate notice of any damage to the Premises by fire, the elements, or any other casualty.

(a)

Any loss or damage to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises, by theft or otherwise; or

pipes, appliances, or plumbing works or from the roof, street, or subsurface or from any other place whereby dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, unless such damage shall be caused by the willful acts or gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, representatives, or employees.  Except for loss, damage, or injury resulting solely from the willful acts or gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, representatives, or employees, all property of Tenant kept or stored on the Premises shall be so kept at or stored at the risk of Tenant only.  Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to or loss of property and from any claims for personal injury, for any event occurring on the Premises, unless such damage shall be caused solely by the willful acts or negligence of Landlord, its agents, representatives, or employees.

7.3

Abatement or Reduction of Rent.  In case of damage or destruction, and in the event this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the rent shall be abated wholly or proportionately, as the case may be, until the damage shall be repaired and the Premises restored; provided, however, that in the event such damage or destruction is caused by Tenant, its agents, representatives, or employees there shall be no abatement of rent.

7.4

Loss During Last Part of Term.  If destruction to the Premises occurs during the last year of the Term, and the cost of restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the then replacement value of the Premises, either Landlord or Tenant can terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other not more than fifteen (15) days after the destruction.

SECTION 8 - CONDEMNATION

8.1

Condemnation.  In the event the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by any competent authority and as a result thereof the balance of said Premises cannot be used by Tenant for the same purpose as before such taking or condemnation, then and in either of such events, the Term of this Lease shall terminate when possession of the Premises shall be taken by the condemning authorities.  Any award, compensation, or damages (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “award”) for that portion of the Premises which does not include any personal property of Tenant shall be paid to and be the property of Landlord.  It is understood that in the event of the termination of this Lease as aforesaid, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any claim against the other for the value of any unexpired Term of this Lease, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any part of the award on account thereof, except as may pertain to any tangible personal property of Tenant which it would be entitled to remove upon any termination of this Lease.

8.2

Partial Condemnation.  In the event only a part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by any competent authority, and as a result thereof the balance of said Premises can be used for the same purpose as before such taking or condemnation, this Lease shall not terminate as a result thereof and Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, but only to the extent of the award for such taking received by Landlord, shall repair and restore the Premises and improvements thereon.  The determination of whether or not the Premises can be used for the same purpose shall be made by Tenant, subject to the requirement that such determination is reasonably made

by Tenant.  Any award paid as a consequence of such taking or condemnation, shall be paid to Landlord and be applied to the cost of said repairing and restoration.  Any sums remaining after such application shall be the property of Landlord.  There shall be a reduction in the rental in direct proportion to the reduction of the Premises as a result of such taking.

SECTION 9 - ASSIGNMENT

9.1

Prohibition Against Assignment, Subletting, and Encumbering.  Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant’s authorized representatives) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent.  Any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease without Landlord’s consent shall be void and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default.  No consent to any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this Section.

Any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of a controlling ownership interest in Tenant, or the sale of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the value of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment hereunder.  The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of, and the right to vote, stock or other interests possessing at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s issued stock or other ownership interests.




Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease, and Landlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.




Any assignment, subletting, or other transfer of Tenant’s interest hereunder, whether pursuant to written consent of Landlord or as permitted hereunder, shall not release or discharge Tenant from liability unless such release is expressly granted in writing by Landlord.




If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with each such request.




9.2

Involuntary Assignment.  No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by 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 a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; 






Initials:   /s/ RW     

               /s/ MR     .







11















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;

(b)

If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease;

(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.




SECTION 10 - DEFAULT

10.1

Tenant’s Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant:

(a)

Failure to pay rent or any other sums payable by Tenant hereunder when due, if the failure continues for five (5) days after the date when such rent or other amount was due.

(b)

Abandonment and vacation of the Premises (failure to occupy and operate the Premises for ten (10) consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment and vacation).

(c)

Failure to perform any other provision of this Lease if the failure to perform is not cured within fifteen (15) days after notice has been sent to Tenant and Guarantor.  If the default cannot reasonably be cured within fifteen (15) days, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the default within the fifteen (15)-day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default.

(d)

Any representation or warranty by Tenant was materially false or inaccurate at the time of the execution of this Lease.

Notices given under Section 10.1(3) shall specify the alleged default and the applicable lease provisions, and shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease within the applicable period of time, or quit the Premises.  No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice.




10.2

Landlord’s Remedies.  Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits a default and, where applicable, fails to cure within the times set forth in Section 10.1 hereof.  These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.

(a)

Tenant’s Right to Possession Not Terminated.  Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect, but not longer than the Term, and the Lease will continue in effect as long as

               /s/ MR     .

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 them, or any part of them, 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 Section shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.  After Tenant’s default and for as 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.

If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in this Section, rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of:




First, any indebtedness owed from Tenant to Landlord other than rent due from Tenant;




Second, all costs, including for repair, refurbishment, reconfiguration, restoration and maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting;




Third, rent and any other payments, costs or fees, including late fees due and unpaid under this Lease.




After deducting the payments referred to in this Section, 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 Section.




(b)

Termination of Tenant’s Right to Possession.  Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time.  No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease.  Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not, by themselves, constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or a termination of this Lease.  On termination of this Lease, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:

(i)

The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent owed hereunder at the time of termination of this Lease;






Initials:   /s/ RW     

               /s/ MR     .







13















(ii)

The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been owed hereunder after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

(iii)

The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and

(iv)

Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default.

“The worth, at the time of the award,” as used in (i) and (ii) of this Section, is to be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge.  “The worth, at the time of the award,” as referred to in (iii) of this Section, 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%).




(c)

Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default.  Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default and has failed to perform within fifteen (15) days of notice of such default from Landlord, can cure the default at Tenant’s cost.  If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by  Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.  The sum, together with interest on it, shall be additional rent.

10.3

Interest.  Rent and any other amounts payable hereunder by Tenant not paid within ten (10) days of when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the maximum rate permitted by law or at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, whichever is less.

10.4

Tenant’s Right To Cure Landlord’s Default.  Landlord shall be in default of this Lease if it fails or refuses to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform if the failure to perform is not cured within fifteen (15) days after notice of the default has been given by Tenant to Landlord.  If the default cannot reasonably be cured within fifteen (15) days, Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if Landlord commences to cure the default within the 15-day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default.

Landlord), together with all keys to the Premises, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the balance of the Lease Security Deposit within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s surrender of the Premises and furnishings (if any).  In the event of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right and option to retain all or any portion of the Lease Security Deposit as partial compensation of damages sustained by Landlord, without waiver of or prejudice to any other right or remedy to which Landlord may be entitled by law or this Lease.

In the event that Tenant fails within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an estoppel certificate pursuant to this Section to properly execute and deliver the same to Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have consented to such estoppel certificate as written; provided, however, that such non-consent shall not relieve Tenant from its responsibilities for default under this Lease by reason of its failure to return an estoppel certificate in accordance with this Section.  Mortgage lenders and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon any estoppel certificate executed by Tenant or which Tenant is deemed to have consented.

16.2

Financing and Subordination.

(a)

Tenant agrees that from time to time it shall, if so requested by Landlord and if doing so will not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s economic interests under this Lease or its use of the Premises, join with the Landlord in amending the terms of this Lease so as to meet the reasonable needs or requirements of any lender who is considering furnishing, or who has furnished, any financing which is, or will be, secured by the Building and the land underneath such, or the Landlord’s Office Park.

(b)

Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall at all times be subordinated to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust or lien or other security interest resulting from any method of financing or refinancing which encumbers or is intended to encumber the Building or the land underneath such, or Landlord’s Property, and to all advances subsequently made upon the strength of such security.  So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, however, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for the full term hereof and shall not be terminated as a result of any foreclosure (or transfer in lieu thereof) of such mortgage or other security instrument to which Tenant has subordinated its rights pursuant to this subparagraph.

(c)

Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, in connection with Landlord’s efforts to sell the Building or secure financing at any time during the Term of this Lease, supply to Landlord all financial information required by Landlord or any potential buyer or any lender in relation to such sale or financing.

Title to any such alterations or Tenant’s personal property that Landlord elects to retain or dispose of upon expiration of such 10-day period shall vest in Landlord.  Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of any such alterations or Tenant’s personal property.  Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord’s costs for storing, removing, and disposing of any alterations or Tenant’s personal property.
