3. Rent and General Provisions Regarding Payments.

A. Lessee shall pay the following rent (“Base Monthly Rent”) to Lessor in advance no later than the first day of each month during the term of this Lease, for the rental of the Premises:

B. All payments of Base Monthly Rent and all other sums due to be paid by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, all of which are sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent”, shall be paid to Lessor, without prior demand, prior notice, deduction or offset (except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease), in lawful money of the United States of America at Lessor's United States postal address for notices hereunder (or to such other person or at such other place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing) or may be made electronically into Lessor’s bank account designated to receive such rental payments. All rent, if not actually received by Lessor within five (5) calendar days of the date the payment is due (such five (5) day period to include the due date), shall bear interest, from the due date until so received, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each check tendered by Lessee which is not honored for payment by Lessee's bank for whatever reason and the statutory penalties if Lessor elects to pursue said remedy. ln addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the payment due for each payment of Base Monthly Rent or other sum due pursuant to this Lease if said sum is not received by Lessor within five (5) calendar days of the date the payment is due (such five (5) day period to include the due date). Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor will incur damages and expenses on account of any such late payment, including but not limited to added staff time to collect the sums due, accounting and legal expenses and interest or other charges, and that the amount of such damages and expenses will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that the ten percent (10%) late charge is a reasonable estimate of said expenses and damages.

C. All sums received by Lessor from Lessee shall be applied first to the oldest outstanding monetary obligation owed by Lessee to Lessor and any other designation of the manner in which said payment is to be applied by Lessee shall be void and of no effect.

D. If the term of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, all rent due for such fractional month or months shall be prorated based on a 30 day month.

E. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Lessee’s Percentage share of Common Area Maintenance and Repair Costs and Lessee’s Percentage Share of the cost of maintaining and repairing the Common Roadway computed and billed quarterly in arrears.

4. Use.  Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for general office/administrative purposes, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose, without the prior written consent of Lessor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.   Lessor has made no warranty or representation that the Premises are usable for the use Lessee intends to make of the Premises and no representation or warranty regarding the legality of the improvements made by the prior tenant to the Premises.

5. Security Deposit.  Within ten (10) business days after full execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the sum of $12,022.65  as a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”).   Lessor shall have no obligation to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee until the Security Deposit is paid but all obligations of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent, shall be in full force and effect.   The Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of the provisions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Lessee. No portion of the Security Deposit may be used by Lessee for any monetary obligation owed by Lessee during the term of this Lease and any extension thereof, particularly the rent due for the last month of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof.   If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of said obligation or of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby.   If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit during the term hereof or any extension thereof, Lessee shall within ten (10) business days after demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount thereof. Lessee's failure to do so shall be deemed a failure to pay rent and shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. lf Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the Premises and they are returned to Lessor in the condition in which they are obliged to be returned to Lessor, whichever is later. No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Security Deposit.

A. Cancellation of insurance; increase in insurance rates. Lessee shall not do, bring, or keep anything in or about the Premises that will cause a cancellation of any insurance covering the Premises and the Building.

Lessee, at its sole expense, shall maintain on all its personal property, Lessee's improvements, and alterations, in, on, or about the Premises, a policy of standard fire insurance, providing “all risk” or “special form” coverage (including coverage for vandalism and malicious mischief), to the extent of at least one hundred percent (100%) of their full replacement value.

Each party shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any damage covered by any policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against under any insurance policy required by this Lease.

F. General Terms of Lessee's insurance.

15. Destruction.

A. If, during the term of this Lease and any extension thereof,, the Premises are totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 14.C., rendering the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, Lessor shall restore the Premises. The restoration work will commence as soon as reasonably practical after the destruction given the time constraints arising from the need for Lessor to collect proceeds for the reconstruction from its insurance carrier, obtain engineering studies and acceptable building plans and apply for and obtain permits. Such destruction shall not terminate this Lease provided, however, that: (1) the work, if there is a total destruction, must be completed within six (6) months from the date of the event causing the destruction; or (2) if a partial destruction, the work must be completed within nine (9) months from the date of the event causing the destruction. If Lessor cannot complete the rebuilding within the foregoing time limits or if laws in effect at the time of destruction do not permit such restoration, either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party. If Lessor intends to rebuild the Premises, Lessor shall give written notice of such fact to Lessee within forty-five (45) days of the event of destruction including, in said notice an estimate of when the rebuilding will be completed. If Lessee does not object in writing to the time estimates given by Lessor within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the written notice from Lessor, this Lease will not terminated if, in , the work is substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the estimated date of completion and Lessor delivers possession of the damaged portion of the Building or the Premises, as applicable, to Lessee in the manner and pursuant to the same provisions as set forth in Paragraph 2.8 of this Lease.

If the cost of the restoration exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required under Paragraph 14.C., Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within fifteen (15) days after determining that the restoration cost will exceed the insurance proceeds. In the case of destruction to the Premises only, if Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee, within fifteen (15) business days after receiving Lessor's notice to terminate, may elect to pay to Lessor in cash or immediately available funds, at the time Lessee notifies Lessor of its election, the difference between the amount of insurance proceeds and the cost of restoration, in which case Lessor shall restore the Premises. Lessor shall give Lessee satisfactory evidence that all sums contributed by Lessee as provided in this Subparagraph have been expended by Lessor in paying the cost of restoration.

If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease and Lessee does not elect to contribute toward the cost of restoration as provided in this subparagraph, this Lease shall terminate.

B. If, during the term, the Premises are totally or partially destroyed from a risk not covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 14.C., rendering the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, Lessor

shall restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before destruction, subject to the limitations set forth below. If Lessor elects to restore the Premises, the work will commence as soon as practical after the destruction given the time constraints for obtaining engineering studies and building plans and apply for and obtain permits. If the existing laws do not permit the restoration, either party can terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party.

If the cost of restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the then replacement value of the Building , Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to no later than Lessee fifteen (15) days after determining the restoration cost and replacement value (but no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the casualty).  If the Lessor does not so elect, this Lease shall continue.

In the case of destruction to the Premises only, if Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee, within fifteen (15) days after receiving Lessor's written notice to terminate, may elect to pay to Lessor in cash, at the time Lessee notifies Lessor of its election, the difference between ten percent (10%) of the then replacement value of the Premises and the actual cost of restoration, in which case Lessor shall restore the Premises upon receipt of the required funds from Lessee. Lessor shall give Lessee satisfactory evidence that all sums contributed by Lessee as provided in this subparagraph have been expended by Lessor in paying the cost of restoration.

If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease and Lessee does not elect to contribute toward the cost of restoration as provided in this subparagraph, this Lease shall terminate.

C. If Lessor is required or elects to restore the Premises as provided in this Paragraph 15, Lessor shall not be required to restore Cosmetic Alterations and/or Material Alterations made by Lessee, Lessee's trade fixtures, and Lessee's personal property, such excluded items being the sole responsibility of Lessee to restore.

D. In case of destruction and Lessor elects or is required to restore the Premises, there shall be an abatement of Base Monthly Rent Common Area Maintenance and Repair Costs and other rent on the unusable portion of the Premises from the date of destruction to the date on which there is substantial completion of the Lessor’s restoration work.

E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph, Lessee may elect to terminate the Lease if either: (1) there is a total destruction and the work cannot be completed within one year from the date of the event causing the destruction; (2) if there is a partial destruction and the work cannot be completed within nine (9) months from the date of the event causing the destruction; or (3) if there is a partial destruction during the last twelve (12) months of the term and the work cannot be completed within sixty (60) days from the date of the event causing the destruction.

F. Lessee waives the provisions of Civil Code Section 1932(2) and Civil Code Section 1933(4) with respect to any destruction of the Premises.

If Lessee elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee must exercise its right to terminate pursuant to this Paragraph 16.B. by giving notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the nature and the extent of Taking have been finally determined. If Lessee elects to terminate this Lease as provided in this Subparagraph , Lessee also shall notify Lessor of the termination which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than ninety (90) days after Lessee has notified Lessor 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 Lessee.  If Lessee does not terminate this Lease within the thirty (30) day period, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that Base Monthly Rent and the Common Area Maintenance Costs shall be reduced.

C. 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 Monthly Rent and the Common Area Maintenance Costs shall be reduced by an amount that is in the same ratio to minimum monthly rent as the value of the area of portion of the Premises taken bears to the total value of the Premises immediately before the date of taking.

Base Monthly Rent and the Common Area Maintenance Costs shall be abated or reduced during the period from the date of taking until the completion of restoration, but all other obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. The abatement or reduction of Base Monthly Rent and the Common Area Maintenance Costs shall be based on the extent to which the restoration interferes with Lessee's use of the Premises.

F. The award shall belong to and be paid to Lessor, except that Lessee shall receive from the award a sum attributable to: (i) Lessee’s relocation expenses; (ii) loss of business goodwill; (iii) Lessee’s equipment and trade fixtures; and (iv) Lessee's improvements or alterations made to the Premises by Lessee in accordance with this Lease, which Lessee's improvements or alterations Lessee has the right to remove from the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease but elects not to remove; or, if Lessee elects to remove any such Lessee's improvements or alterations, a sum for reasonable removal and relocation costs not to exceed the market value of such improvements or alterations.

C. Lessee shall not engage in or permit any Transfer of this Lease absent full compliance with all of the terms and provisions of this Paragraph 17. Any Transfer of this Lease occurring without full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 17 shall be voidable at the option of the Lessor, and shall constitute a material and incurable default on the part of Lessee hereunder.

D.

Lessor agrees that it shall hold all such information in confidence if requested to do so by Lessee and shall execute any reasonable confidentiality agreement presented on behalf of and for the benefit of any proposed transferee.

E. In connection with any proposed or requested consent to Transfer, other than an Exempt Transfer , Lessee shall pay to Lessor a transfer fee of $1000.00 (payment of which shall accompany Lessee's request for Transfer), plus all of Lessor's reasonable attorneys’ fees expended in connection with the proposed Transfer, not to exceed $5,000.00.  

F. For non-Exempt Transfers, within ten (10) business days after the submission of all required information described in the preceding sentence, Lessor shall give notice to Lessee of its election under Paragraph

17.D. If Lessor falls to give such notice, Lessor shall be presumed to have consented to Lessee's request for such Transfer.

G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 17, with respect to any  Transfer pursuant to which all or a controlling share of Lessee’s issued and outstanding shares of stock and/or all of its assets are to be acquired by a third party,  upon receipt of the information required by Paragraph 17C,  Lessor shall  covenants that it will approve the Transfer within the time period set forth in Paragraph 17E above, provided the  proposed transferee (i) possesses a net worth prior to the completion of the contemplated transfer of this Lease equal to or greater than the net worth of Lessee on the Commencement Date (the term “net worth” shall mean a tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (excluding goodwill as an asset); and (ii)  will assume in writing on the date when the contemplated Transfer closes all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease and under all of Lessee’s collateral financial obligations and/or provide security reasonably acceptable to Lessor for all such obligations and covenant that the Transfer will in no way diminish or impair any security held by Lessor under this Lease or any other obligation pertaining to the Premises;  and (iii)  will not allow a use that has a greater danger of release of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises or the Building than that done by Lessee.  

H. Upon receiving a request for Transfer of this Lease (except in the case of an Exempt Transfer), and compliance with Paragraph 17, Lessor shall have the right to do any of the following:

(i) Lessor may consent to the proposed Transfer, subject to any reasonable conditions on such Transfer, which reasonable conditions may include without limitation, (1) that the proposed transferee assume in writing all of Lessee's obligations under the Lease (without, however, releasing Lessee therefrom), (ii) in the case of a proposed sublease, that the subtenant agree that Lessor shall have the right to enforce any and all of the terms of the sublease directly against such subtenant, and if this Lease is terminated prior to the expiration of the sublease, that at the election of Lessor, the sublease shall not terminate and the subtenant will attorn to the Lessor, (iii) that one half of all sums or other consideration received by Lessee from the Transferee for the right to use and occupy the Premises in excess of the rent paid to Lessor be paid as additional rent by Lessee to Lessor at the same time that Lessee pays Base Monthly Rent to Lessor;   (iv) that any existing Events of Default under this Lease be cured prior to the effective date of the Transfer.

(2) Lessor may deny its consent to the proposed Transfer on any reasonable ground. Such grounds shall include, without limitation, any one or more of the following, and shall be conclusively deemed to be reasonable as to Lessee: (a) that the proposed transferee's financial condition is insufficient to support all of the financial and other obligations of the Lessee with respect to the Lease; (b) that the use to which the Premises will be put by the proposed transferee is inconsistent with the terms of the Lease or otherwise will materially and adversely affect any interest of Lessor; (c) That the nature of the proposed transferee's proposed or likely use of the Premises would involve any increased risk of the use, release or mishandling of Hazardous Materials; (d) That the business reputation or character of the proposed transferee or any of its affiliates is not reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (e) That the proposed transferee is not likely to conduct at the Premises a business of a quality substantially equal to that conducted by Lessee; or (f) that Lessor has not received assurances acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion that all past due amounts owing from Lessee to Lessor (if any) will be paid and all other Events of Default on the part of Lessee (if any) will be cured prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer;.

I. If Lessee receives a bona fide offer to make a Transfer of this Lease that involves the entire Premises (except an Exempt Transfer) , Lessee may give Lessor written notice thereof and request that Lessor, within ten (10) business days after the receipt of such notice, elect in writing whether to waive its rights under this Subparagraph with respect to the Transfer contemplated by the bona fide offer. Lessee's notice shall contain the information described in Paragraph 17.C. Lessor's failure to respond within such ten (10) business days period shall be deemed to be an election to waive its rights hereunder. If Lessor does not waive its rights under this Subparagraph, Lessee shall have the right to withdraw its request to the proposed Transfer within ten (10) business days of Lessor's election to recapture the Premises.  If Lessor does exercise its rights hereunder, and terminates the Lease or any portion thereof, Lessor shall have the right to enter into a lease or the occupancy agreement directly with the proposed transferee, and Lessee shall have no right to any of the rents or other consideration payable by such proposed transferee under such other lease, even if such rents and other consideration exceed the rent payable under this Lease by Lessee.

J. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that each of the rights of Lessor set forth in this Paragraph 17 in the event of a proposed Transfer is a reasonable restriction on Transfer for purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4.

K. Any consent to any proposed Transfer, whether conditional or unconditional, shall not be deemed to be a consent to any other or further Transfer of this Lease, or any other Transfer of this Lease on the same or other conditions (if any). No Transfer of this Lease shall in any way diminish, impair or release any of the liabilities and obligations of Lessee, any guarantor or any other person liable for all or any portion of the Lessee's obligations under this Lease.

L. Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee or to any proposed transferee in damages if it is adjudicated that Lessor's consent has been unreasonably withheld and such unreasonable withholding of consent constitutes a breach of this Lease or other duty to Lessee, the proposed transferee or any other person on the part of Lessor. In such event, Lessee's sole remedy shall be to have the proposed Transfer declared valid as if Lessor's consent had been duly and timely given.

18. Lessee's Default. The occurrence of any one of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall constitute a material breach of this Lease by Lessee:

A. Lessee's failure to pay Base Monthly Rent when due.

B. If Lessee shall fail to pay any other sum (all of which sums shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder) to Lessor when due.

C. Lessee's failure to perform any other provisions of this Lease if the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has been given to Lessee.   Except as otherwise provided herein, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be in default of this Lease if Lessee commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default thereafter.

D. If this Lease or any estate of Lessee hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within fifteen (15) days.

E. If within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Lessee seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within thirty (30) days after the appointment of a receiver or liquidator of Lessee or of any material part of its properties such appointment shall not have been vacated.

19. Lessor's Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lessor shall have the following remedies. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.

A. Lessor may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease will continue in effect as long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor shall have the right to collect rent when due. During the period Lessee is in default, Lessor may enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Lessee's account. Lessee shall be liable immediately to Lessor for all costs Lessor incurs in re-letting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the re-letting, and like costs. Re-letting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease or any extension thereof, except that Lessee shall only be responsible for brokers’ commissions until the remaining term of this Lease has expired. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the rent due under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent Lessor receives from any re-letting. No act by Lessor allowed by this subparagraph shall terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee that Lessor elects to terminate this Lease.

B. Lessor may terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises at any time by giving a written termination notice to Lessee, and on the date specified in such notice (which shall be not less than five (5) days after the giving of such notice) Lessee's right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate,

unless on or before such date all arrears of rent and all other sums payable by Lessee under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor hereunder shall have been paid by Lessee and all other breaches of this Lease by Lessee at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Lessor. No act by Lessor other than giving notice to Lessee shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to re-let the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Lessor's initiative to protect Lessor's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession. On termination, Lessor has the right to recover from Lessee:

(1) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;

(2) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;

(3) 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 Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; and

(4) Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee's default. “The worth, at the time of the award” as used in (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. “The worth, at the time of award,” as referred to in (iii) of this subparagraph 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. Lessor, at any time after an Event of Default, may cure said default at Lessee's cost. lf Lessor at any time, by reason of Lessee's default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Lessor shall be due immediately from Lessee to Lessor at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date the sum is paid by Lessor until Lessor is reimbursed by Lessee. The sum, together with interest on it, shall be deemed to be additional rent.

D. Lessor shall have the following additional remedies:

(1) In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of Base Monthly Rent or if Lessee fails to pay any other monetary obligation of Lessee under this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the Base Monthly Rent, as estimated by Lessor, for Lessee’s Percentage Share of Real Property Tax and insurance premium expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before delinquency, of Lessee's Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums. All moneys paid to Lessor under this subparagraph may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, then any balance remaining from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this subparagraph may, at the option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in lieu of being applied to the payment of real property taxes and insurance premiums.

(2) In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of Base Monthly Rent in any twelve month period, Lessor may demand and Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the amount of Base Monthly Rent due in the month in which the third late payment of Base Monthly Rent occurred as an addition to the Security Deposit to be held pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 5 of this Lease.
