11.3 Direct Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that Landlord determines, in Landlord’s sole discretion, at any time during the Lease Term that it is more appropriate and/or equitable that all or any portion of the Common Area Expenses set forth in Section 11.2 be chargeable exclusively to the Occupants of a particular building or to a particular Occupant or group of Occupants rather than to all Occupants of the Project, then such charges shall be excluded in determining the aggregate amount of the Common Area Expenses and shall be referred to herein as "Direct Expenses". Tenant shall pay its share of Direct Expenses and Administrative Fee, at Landlord's option, either in estimated monthly installments in accordance with Section 4.4 or within ten (10) days of receipt of a bill for same.

Landlord shall also have the right at any time and from time to time to exclude and restrain any person from the use or occupancy thereof or to temporarily close the Common Areas as Landlord reasonably determines shall be reasonably necessary to prevent the accrual of prescriptive rights. Landlord shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business when Landlord performs any maintenance, repairs and replacements of the Common Areas.

11.5 Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall have the right to establish additional reasonable, non-discriminatory and equitable Rules and Regulations for the proper and/or efficient operation and maintenance of the Common Area or any portion thereof, and Tenant shall comply with the same, provided Landlord has furnished written notice to Tenant specifying such reasonable, non-discriminatory and equitable Rules and Regulations.

ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING

14.1 Restrictions. Tenant shall not make, consent to, or suffer any Encumbrance. Tenant shall not Assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which Landlord shall not withhold unreasonably. Landlord may withhold its consent on any reasonable ground, including, without limitation, if in Landlord's reasonable business judgment: (i) the Transferee's contemplated use of the Premises is not identical to the Permitted Use, (ii) the Transferee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease, (iii) the net worth of the Transferee are less than that of Tenant at the Execution Date or at the date of request (whichever is higher), or (iv) Tenant is then in default of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

In the event the Assignment consists of or includes a change of control in which Bill Glaser ceases to be the person in control of Tenant, then as a condition to Landlord’s consent to such Assignment, Landlord may require the person or entity acquiring control of Tenant to provide Landlord a guaranty in the form attached as Exhibit E (with paragraph 18 deleted) or to provide such other collateral as Landlord may reasonably require.

14.2 Procedures. Tenant shall request Landlord's consent to each such transaction in writing at least sixty (60) days before the effective date of any such transaction.

ARTICLE 15. DEFAULTS BY TENANT; LANDLORD REMEDIES

15.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant and a breach of this Lease.

(a) Failing or refusing to pay any amount of Minimum Annual Rent or Additional Rent when due in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, should Tenant fail to cure same within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of such default; or

(b) Failing or refusing to perform fully and promptly any covenant or condition of this Lease, should Tenant fail to cure the same within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after receipt of written notice of such default or, when more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the failure, if Tenant shall fail to either commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period or thereafter fail to cure such failure within such longer period as shall be reasonable under the circumstances.

15.2 No Waiver.   The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition for any prior or subsequent breach thereof, or of any other term, covenant or condition contained in this 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 prior or subsequent similar act by Tenant. Landlord's acceptance of partial Rent or performance by Tenant shall not be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction or a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or of any right of Landlord to a forfeiture of this Lease by reason of such breach, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of Landlord's acceptance. No term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and executed by Landlord.

15.3 Landlord's Rights and Remedies. 

A. In the case of such default or defaults described in Section 15.1 above, then Landlord, besides other rights or remedies Landlord may have, shall have the immediate rights of re-entry onto the property to remove all persons and property from the Premises; and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant.

B. Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, re-let the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to said Premises.

C. Upon such re-letting:

(I) Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay to Landlord, in addition to any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder, the cost and expenses of such re-letting and of such alteration and repair, incurred by Landlord, and the amount, if any, by which the rent reserved in this Lease for the period of such re-letting (up to but not beyond the Term of this Lease) exceeds the amount agreed to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period of such re-letting; or

(II) At the option of Landlord, rents received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent, due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting and of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such re-letting and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the new tenant, or if such rents received from re-letting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during the month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

 
Page 13

 


C. No such re-entry or taking possession of said Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election of Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention, specifically containing the word FORFEITURE, be given to Tenant by Landlord, or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

D. In the event of any default as set forth in Section 15.1 by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant, as provided for by California Civil Code Section 1951.2, which is incorporated herein by reference, the following:

(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment approximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform his obligations under this Lease of which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

(e) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable state law.

The term "rent" or "rental" as used in this Lease, shall be deemed to be and to mean the minimum rental, Community Area Charges, Promotional Assessments and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease and pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.

As used in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate.

E. In addition to the remedies set forth hereinabove, Landlord may pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California. It is further agreed that the rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and that no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others.

F. In the event of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) at any time, after five (5) days' written notice, cure such breach for the account and at the expense of Tenant. If Landlord at any time so elects or is compelled by any other person to cure such breach or is compelled to incur any other expense arising out of such breach by Tenant (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements in instituting, prosecuting or defending any suits, actions or proceedings to enforce Landlord's rights under this or any other Article or Section of this Lease or otherwise) the sum or sums so paid by Landlord, with all interest, costs and damages, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days following written demand. Such expenses may be recovered in the same action or proceeding forming the basis of default.

G. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease which is not paid within ten (10) days after written notice that such amount was not received when due (including, without limitation, amounts due as reimbursement for costs incurred in performing obligations of Tenant upon its failure to so perform) shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the highest amount permitted by law, and (ii) five percent (5%) over the prime rate of Bank of America N.A. ("Interest Rate") from the date due until paid, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

 15.4  Waiver of Certain Rights. Tenant expressly waives its right to plead any noncompulsory counterclaims or offset, in any action or proceeding brought by Landlord against Tenant for a default under Section 15.1(a) above; although Tenant shall be entitled to assert any such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives its right to jury trial in the event of any legal action relating to or affecting the rights of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption it may have either by statute or otherwise.

 ARTICLE 16.  DEFAULTS BY LANDLORD .  If Landlord fails to perform or observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease on Landlord's part to be performed or observed within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure from Tenant or, when more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the failure, if Landlord shall fail to cure such failure within such longer period as shall be reasonable under the circumstances after written notice of such failure from Tenant, said failure shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease. In the event of the continuation of a default by Landlord under this Lease after the expiration of all applicable cure periods provided for under this Lease, Tenant shall then have the right to pursue all available rights and remedies at law or in equity arising out of or pertaining to such default of Landlord. So long as Landlord has previously provided written notice to Tenant identifying Landlord’s Mortgagee and has included in such notice a notice address for such Landlord’s Mortgagee, Tenant shall send a copy of such written notice of failure to Landlord's Mortgagee, which shall have the same cure period as Landlord, which cure period shall begin upon Landlord’s Mortgagee’s receipt of such written notice, and Tenant’s rights and remedies shall not accrue unless the Landlord’s Mortgagee’s cure period has expired without the failure having been cured.
 
 ARTICLE 17.  RECONSTRUCTION

 17.1  Casualty. Upon the occurrence of casualty to the Premises, Landlord shall have the election, and shall within thirty (30) days following the date of such damage give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election, either (A) to commence reconstruction of the Premises excluding Tenant’s Work (“Landlord’s Reconstruction Work”) and use diligent efforts to complete such reconstruction within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such written notice, or (B) to not perform such reconstruction, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate not later than sixty (60) days after Landlord’s notice of Landlord’s election to terminate. If Landlord elects to perform such reconstruction, Tenant shall commence reconstruction of Tenant's Work promptly upon substantial completion of Landlord's Reconstruction Work and shall diligently prosecute the same to completion. If Landlord elects to perform such reconstruction and fails to complete the same within the above one hundred eighty (180) day period, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, but if Landlord substantially completes the Reconstruction Work within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant’s termination notice shall be null and void. If Landlord notifies Tenant within thirty (30) days following the date of such damage that the Reconstruction Work will take more than one hundred eighty (180) days to complete (which notice shall set forth the length of time which Landlord believes will be required to complete the Reconstruction Work), then Tenant may terminate this Lease within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, and if Tenant does not so terminate, then the one hundred eighty (180) day reconstruction period shall be extended to be the length of time set forth in Landlord’s notice. Reconstruction shall substantially conform to the provisions of Exhibit C and shall cover Landlord's Reconstruction Work and Tenant's Work. Landlord shall reconstruct the Premises only to the extent of Landlord's Reconstruction Work; Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall reconstruct Tenant's Work and shall replace Tenant's merchandise, Improvements and personal property to a condition at least equal to that prior to the occurrence of the casualty.
 
 17.2  Release of Liability. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Article, the parties shall be released thereby without further obligation to the other party, coincident with the surrender of possession of the Premises to Landlord, except the indemnification provisions contained in this Lease which shall survive the termination, and except for items which have theretofore accrued and are then unpaid. In the event of termination, all proceeds from Tenant's insurance (including self-insurance and deductibles), covering Tenant's Improvements, but excluding proceeds from Tenant's merchandise, the unamortized net cost to Tenant of Tenant's Improvements with a straight-line amortization schedule and an amortization period equal to the Lease Term, and personal property, shall be disbursed and paid to Landlord.
 
 17.3  Additional Provisions. There shall be no abatement of Minimum Annual Rent or other charges with respect to any period of reconstruction of the Premises or any other part of the Project, and Tenant shall look solely to the business interruption insurance with respect thereto. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Premises which Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease.

 ARTICLE 18.  EMINENT DOMAIN

 181  Total Taking. If all or a portion of the Premises shall be appropriated or taken under the power of eminent domain or by transfer in lieu of thereof (hereinafter, "taken" or "taking") such that the remainder is not suitable for the operation of Tenant’s business as contemplated hereunder, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking, and Landlord and Tenant shall have no further liability or obligation, except as otherwise provided for in this Lease, arising under this Lease after such date.

 18.2  Award. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire condemnation award for any taking of the Premises, the Project or any part thereof. Tenant's right to receive any amounts separately awarded to Tenant directly from the condemning authority for the taking of Tenant's merchandise, personal property, relocation expenses and/or interests in other than the real property taken shall not be affected in any manner by the provisions of this Section, provided Tenant's award does not reduce or affect Landlord's award.

 ARTICLE 19  SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL

 19.1  Subordination to Mortgage. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to cause any Mortgagee of the Project to provide Tenant with an executed recordable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in reasonable form and approved by Tenant providing generally that, provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the mortgagee, trustee, or any purchaser at the foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust will not disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises and that Tenant will attorn to such mortgagee, trustee, or purchaser at foreclosure as Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease upon receiving written notice that such party has succeeded to the interest of Landlord under this Lease(“SNDA”). Tenant shall bear any costs imposed upon Landlord by its Mortgagee to make changes to the Mortgagee’s standard form of SNDA requested by Tenant. This Lease and all of Tenants' rights hereunder are and shall be automatically subject and subordinate to all currently existing and future Mortgages affecting the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of a request from Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall confirm such subordination by executing a recordable subordination agreement in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only be applicable with respect to those mortgages or deeds of trust to which Tenant has been provided an SNDA. If Landlord sells, transfers, or conveys Landlord's interest in the Premises or this Lease, or if the same is foreclosed judicially or nonjudicially, or otherwise acquired, by a Mortgagee, upon the request and at the sole election of Landlord's successor, Tenant shall attorn to said successor, provided said successor accepts the Premises subject to this Lease. Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord or any Mortgagee, execute an attornment agreement confirming the same, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord or Landlord's successor and Tenant.

 19.2  Subordination to REA. So long as Landlord has previously provided written notice to Tenant identifying the REA, this Lease and all of Tenant's rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to the REA and any amendments or modifications thereof; provided that no amendments or modifications to the REA will materially and adversely affect the the access to, visibility of, or Tenant's Permitted Use of the Premises without Tenant’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 19.3  Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) business days after request from either party, the non-requesting party shall execute and deliver to the requesting party an estoppel certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C with any exceptions thereto noted in writing by the non-requesting party.

 ARTICLE 20.  QUIET ENJOYMENT.   Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying the rent and performing the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, may quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises from and after Landlord's delivery of the Premises to Tenant and until the end of the Lease Term, subject, however, to any Mortgage to which this Lease is or shall become subordinate.

 ARTICLE 21.  NOTICES.  Wherever in this Lease it shall be required or permitted that any notice, request, report, communication or demand be given, served or transmitted by either party to this Lease to or on the other, such notice or demand shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or forwarded by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized courier service providing written confirmation of delivery, to the addresses of the parties specified in Article 1. Notice shall be deemed to have been given or served on the delivery date indicated by the United States Postal Service or courier service on the return receipt or on the date such delivery is refused, unless Tenant is served personally, in which event the date of personal delivery shall be deemed the effective date of notice. Either party may change its address by providing written notice as specified herein; provided, however, that all addresses provided must be the actual street address of a residence or business establishment.

 23.2  Right to Lease. Landlord shall have the absolute right to lease or permit the use or occupancy of space in the Project as Landlord shall determine in Landlord's sole and absolute judgment. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that there shall be any specific occupants or minimum occupancy level of space in the Project at any time.

FISCHER AND HILARY K. FISCHER AND GARVIN DRIVE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Arkansas limited partnership ("Landlord").


 RECITALS:

This Lease Guaranty is given on the basis of the following facts and understandings of the parties:

A. UKARMA CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called "Tenant"), is leasing from Landlord approximately six thousand three hundred sixty (6,360) square feet of floor area, located at 13920 Ventura Park Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, California, under a Lease dated as of April 25, 2008 (the "Lease").

B. As a condition to Landlord's execution of the Lease, Landlord has required that Guarantor execute this Lease Guaranty guaranteeing performance of all of the covenants on Tenant's part to be performed pursuant to the Lease.

C. Guarantor will be a recipient of a portion of the benefits which may accrue to Tenant from the Lease and Landlord's execution of the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Landlord to make the Lease and in consideration thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the timely payment of all monies owed by Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, minimum rent and additional rent (as those terms are defined in the Lease) and the prompt performance of all other obligations of Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, the construction of the Tenant's improvements) in accordance with the terms thereof, and at the times and places specified therein. All of said payments and obligations, together with interest which may have accrued thereon, are hereafter called the "Indebtedness".

2. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are in addition to any other obligations of Guarantor under any other guaranties of the Indebtedness of Tenant or any other person, heretofore or hereafter given to Landlord, and this Guaranty shall not affect any such other guaranties.

3. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant; a separate action or actions may be brought against Guarantor hereon; whether or not action is brought against Tenant or Tenant may be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.

4. Guarantor authorizes Landlord without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time, to (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the Indebtedness or any part thereof, including increase or decrease the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, including increase or decrease the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Indebtedness and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and (c) apply such security in whole or in part and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine.

5. Guarantor authorizes Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors and assigns, without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time, to amend, modify or change the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease.

6. Landlord may without notice assign this Guaranty or its interest hereunder in whole or in part in connection with its assignment or other transfer of the Lease.

EXHIBIT B
 
Page 7

 

7. Guarantor waives any right to require Landlord to (a) proceed against Tenant; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Tenant; or (c) pursue any remedy in Landlord's power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Tenant or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Tenant other than full payment of the Indebtedness. Guarantor waives any defense it may acquire by reason of Landlord's election of any remedy against Guarantor or Tenant or both.

8. Until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant (including, without limitation, the remedies of reimbursement, indemnity and contribution), and waives the benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord from Tenant except to the extent such security remains after payment of the Indebtedness in full. If and to the extend such waiver is unenforceable, Guarantor hereby agrees that all such rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution shall be junior and subordinate to the right of Landlord to obtain payment and performance of the Indebtedness and to all rights of Landlord in any security now or hereafter held by Landlord from Tenant.

9. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation or incurring of all or any part of the Indebtedness now existing or hereafter arising.

10. Guarantor warrants that:

A. All financial reports heretofore furnished to Landlord by Guarantor are correct, Guarantor has title to all assets referred to in such reports, and there has been no material adverse change in Guarantor's financial condition since the date of the last report so furnished;

B. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or, so far as Guarantor is advised, threatened against Guarantor which might result in any material adverse change in Guarantor's financial condition; and

C. Neither execution nor delivery of this Guaranty, nor compliance with the terms hereof, will conflict with or result in the breach of any law or statute or will constitute a breach or default under any agreement or instrument to which Guarantor may be a party, or result in the creation or imposition of any charge or lien upon any of the Guarantor's property or assets.

11. Until payment of the indebtedness in full, Guarantor shall promptly advise Landlord in writing of:

A. All actions, suits or proceeding, pending, or of its knowledge threatened, at law or before any federal, state, municipal or other court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, involving the possibility of judgments, penalties or liabilities against it, which might, in the aggregate, exceed ten percent (10%) of the net worth of Guarantor shown by the financial reports referenced in Paragraph 10A above and which are not adequately covered by insurance; and

B. Any material adverse change in its business or financial condition.

12. This Guaranty shall be enforceable by Landlord in accordance with the laws of the State of California and shall be construed in accordance therewith. Guarantor agrees to pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this Guaranty.

13. No failure on the part of Landlord to pursue any remedy hereunder or under the Lease shall constitute a waiver on its part of the right to pursue said remedy on the basis of the same or a subsequent breach.

14. Guarantor acknowledges that its undertakings given hereunder are given in consideration of Landlord's acceptance of the Lease and that Landlord would not consummate the Lease and accept said documents were it not for execution and delivery of this Guaranty.
EXHIBIT B
 
Page 8

 



15. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or diminished by an Assignment or Transfer of the Lease by Tenant.

16. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or diminished by the release or discharge of Tenant in any creditors' insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceeding, including the rejection or termination of the Lease in bankruptcy, it being intended that Guarantor's liability hereunder shall be determined as if the Lease continues in full force and effect without regard to such rejection or termination in bankruptcy. In the event that any amount at any time paid on account of obligations guaranteed hereby is required to restored or returned by Landlord as a result of any such insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy, Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty with respect to such amount as if such amount was never paid.

17. Tenant hereby waives Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2849, 2850, and 3433 of the California Civil Code as the same may be hereafter amended, modified, revised, renumbered or replaced.

18. So long as Tenant is in good standing and is not in default under the Lease at any time during the first thirty-six (36) months full calendar months of the Lease Term following the Minimum Rent Commencement Date, this Guaranty shall expire on the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) full calendar month of the Lease Term following the Minimum Rent Commencement Date.
 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have jointly and severally executed this Lease Guaranty as of the date first written above.
