| SECURITY DEPOSIT | 5. Lessee has deposited with Lessors $46,457.50 as security for the full and faithful performance of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Lease. In the event Lessee defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to the payment of rent, Lessor may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of such security for the payment of any rent in default or for any other sum which Lessor may spend or be required to spend by reason of Lessee’s default.

Lessee shall not be entitled to any interest on said security deposit. | |
| POSSESSION | 6. If Lessor, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee at the commencement of the said term, as hereinbefore specified, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor, or Lessor’s agents, be liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; but in that event the commencement and termination dates or the Lease and all other dates affected thereby shall be revised to conform to the date of Lessor’s delivery of possession. The above is, however, subject to the provision that the period of delay of delivery of the Premises shall not exceed ________ days from the commencement date herein. If the period of delay of delivery exceeds the foregoing, Lessee, at his or its option, may declare this Lease null and void.*
*See Addendum attached | |
| ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND CONSENT TO SURRENDER | 7. By entry hereunder, the Lessee accepts the Premises as being in good and satisfactory condition, unless within forty-five (45) days after such entry Lessee shall give Lessor written notice specifying in reasonable detail the respects in which the Premises were not in satisfactory condition.* The Lessee agrees on the last day of the term hereof, or on sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the premises, together with all alterations, additions, and improvements which may have been made in, to, or on the Premises by Lessor or Lessee, unto Lessor in the same good condition as at Lessee’s entry into the Premises excepting for such wear and tear as would be normal for the period of the Lessee’s occupancy. The Lessee, on or before the end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease, shall remove all Lessee’s personal property and trade fixtures from the premises and all property not so removed shall be deemed to be abandoned by the Lessee. If the Premises be not surrendered at the end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease, the Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor against loss or liability resulting from delay by the Lessee in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
*See Addendum attached | |
| USES PROHIBITED | 8. Lessee shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises, or any nuisance, or other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in or around the buildings in which the Premises may be located, or allow any sale by auction upon the Premises, or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, or place any loads upon the floor, walls, or roof which endanger the structure, or place any harmful liquids in the drainage system of the building. No waste materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain upon any part of the Premises outside of the building proper. No materials, supplies, equipment, finished products or semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any nature shall be stored upon or permitted to remain on any portion of the Premises outside of the buildings proper. | |
| ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS | 9. The lessee shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or any part thereof without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Lessor may impose as a condition to the aforesaid consent such requirements as Lessor may deem necessary in Lessor’s sole discretion, including without limitation thereto, the manner in which the work is done, a right of approval of the contractor by whom the work is to be performed (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the times during which it is to be accomplished, and the requirement that upon written request of Lessor prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Lessee will remove any or all improvements or additions to the Premises installed at Lessee’s expense.* All such alterations, additions or improvements not specified to be removed shall at the expiration of earlier termination of the lease become the property of the Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises. All movable furniture, business and trade fixtures, and machinery and equipment shall remain the property of the Lessee and maybe removed by the Lessee at any time during the Lease term when Lessee is not in default hereunder. Items which are not to be deemed as movable furniture, business and trade fixtures, or machinery and equipment shall include heating, lighting, electrical systems, air conditioning, permanent partitioning, carpeting, or any other installation which has become an integral part of the Premises.** The Lessee will at all times permit notices of non-responsibility to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of alterations or additions which have been approved by the Lessor.
* & ** See Addendum attached | |
| MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES | 10. Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost, keep and maintain the Premises and appurtenances and every part thereof, including but not limited to, glazing, sidewalks, parking areas,* plumbing, electrical systems, heating and air conditioning installations, any store front, roof covering—unless it is not feasible to repair the existing roof covering and a new roof covering is required, and the interior of the Premises in good order, condition, and repair. Lessor at Lessor’s | |
| sole cost and expense shall maintain the exterior of the walls, and structural portions of the roof, foundations, walls, and floors except for any repairs caused by the wrongful act of the Lessee and Lessee’s agents. The Lessor will replace the roof covering if repairs to said covering are no longer economically feasible in the judgment of roofing experts, and provided that said replacement is not made necessary by acts of the Lessee and Lessee’s agents. The Lessee shall water, maintain and replace, when necessary, any shrubbery and landscaping provided by the Lessor on the Premises. The Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford the Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor’s expense or to terminate this lease because of Lessor’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, conditions or repair. *** See Addendum attached
*including resealing the parking lot approximately every three (3) years. | ||
| FIRE AND EXTENDED COVERAGE INSURANCE AND SUBROGATION | 11. SEE REVISED INSURANCE CLAUSE ATTACHED | |
| ABANDONMENT | 12. Lessee shall not or abandon the Premises at any time during the term; and if Lessee shall abandon, or surrender the premises, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Lessee and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Lessor mortgaged to Lessor. | |
| FREE FROM LIENS | 13. Lessee shall keep the Premises and the property in which the Premises are situated, free from any liens arising out liens of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Lessee. | |
| COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS | 14. Lessee shall, at his sole cost and expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and Federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the Premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use of the Premises all Municipal ordinances and State and Federal statutes now in force or which may hereafter be in force. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Lessee in any action or proceeding against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any such ordinance or statute in the use of the Premises, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.* See Addendum attached | |
| INDEMNIFICATION of LESSOR AND LESSEE’S LIABILITY INSURANCE | 15. The Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to the Lessor, hereby waives all claims against the Lessor for damages to goods, wares and merchandise, and all other personal property in, upon, or about the Premises and for injuries to persons in or about the Premises, from any cause arising at any time, excepting claims arising from the Lessor’s negligence & willful misconduct | |
| or breach of this Lease and the Lessee will hold the Lessor exempt and harmless from any damage or injury to any person, or to the goods, wares and merchandise and all other personal property of any person, arising from the use of the Premises by the Lessee, or from the failure of the Lessee to keep the Premises in good condition and repair, as herein provided. SEE REVISED INSURANCE CLAUSE ATTACHED | ||
| ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS | 16. Lessee will not place or permit to be placed, in, upon or about the Premises any unusual or extraordinary signs, or any signs not approved by the city or other governing authority. The Lessee will not place, or permit to be placed, upon the Premises, any signs, advertisements or notices without the written consent of the Lessor first had and obtained.* Any sign so placed on the Premises shall be so placed upon the understanding and agreement that Lessee will remove same at the termination of the tenancy herein created and repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused thereby, and if not so removed by Lessee then Lessor may have same so removed at Lessee’s expense.
*See Addendum attached | |
| UTILITIES | 17. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone service and all other service supplied to the Premises. | |
| ATTORNEY’S FEES | 18. In case suit should be brought for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due hereunder, or because of the breach of any other covenant herein, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable attorney’s fee, which shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. | |
| DEFAULT | 19. In the event of any breach of this Lease by the Lessee, or an abandonment of the Premises by the Lessee, the Lessor has the option of 1) removing all persons and property from the Premises and repossessing the Premises in which case any of the Lessee’s property which the Lessor removes from the Premises may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, or 2) allowing the Lessee to remain in full possession and control of the Premises. If the Lessor chooses to repossess the Premises, the Lease will automatically terminate in accordance with provisions of the California Civil Code, Section 1951.2. In the event of such termination of the Lease, the Lessor may recover from the Lessee: 1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination including interest at 7% per annum; 2) 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 that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided including interest at 7% per annum; 3) 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 Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and 4) any other amount necessary to compensate the Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee’s failure to perform his | |
| obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. If the Lessor chooses not to repossess the premises, but allows the Lessee to remain in full possession and control of the Premises, then in accordance with provisions of the California Civil Code, Section 1951.4, the Lessor may treat the Lease as being in full force and effect, and may collect from the Lessee all rents as they become due through the termination date of the lease as specified in the lease. For the purposes of this paragraph, the following do not constitute a termination of Lessee’s right to possession:
a) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the property.
b) The appointment of a receiver on the initiative of the Lessor to protect his interest under this Lease.*
*See Addendum attached | ||
| LATE CHARGES | 20. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to seven & one half percent (7.5%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. | |
| SURRENDER OF LEASE | 21. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to him of any or all such subleases or subtenancies. | |
| TAXES | 22. The Lessee shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal property and trade or business fixtures. The Lessee also agrees to pay, as additional rental, during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, all real estate taxes plus the yearly installments of any special assessments which are of record or which may become of record during the term of this lease. If said taxes and assessments are assessed against the entire building and building site, and this Lease does not cover the entire building or building site, the taxes and assessment installments allocated to the Premises shall be pro-rated on a square footage or other equitable basis, as calculated by the Lessor. It is understood and agreed that the Lessee’s obligation under this paragraph will be pro-rated to reflect the commencement and termination dates of this Lease. Real estate taxes shall not include taxes assessed on the net income of Lessor or any gift, franchise or inheritance taxes. | |
| NOTICES | 23. All notices to be given to Lessee may be given in writing personally or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Lessee at the said Premises, whether or not Lessee has departed from, abandoned or vacated the Premises. | |
| ENTRY BY LESSOR | 24. Lessee shall permit Lessor and his agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of maintaining the building in which the Premises are situated, or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or additions to any other portion of said building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned; and shall permit Lessor and his agents, at any time within ninety days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “For Sale” or “To Lease” signs and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable hours. | |
| DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES | 25. In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises during the said term from any cause, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided such repairs can be made within one hundred twenty (120) days under the laws and regulations of State, Federal, County or Municipal authorities, but such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere with the business carried on by Lessee in the Premises. If such repairs cannot be made in one hundred twenty (120) days, Lessor may, at his option, make same within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and effect and the rent to be proportionately reduced as aforesaid in this paragraph provided. In the event that Lessor does not so elect to make such repairs which cannot be made in one hundred twenty (120) days, or such repairs cannot be made under such laws and regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. In respect to any partial destruction which Lessor is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this paragraph, the provision of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by Lessee. In the event that the building in which the Premises may be situated be destroyed to the extent of not less than 50 (fifty)% of the replacement cost thereof, Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not. A total destruction of the building in which the Premises may be situated shall terminate this Lease. In the event of any dispute between Lessor and Lessee relative to the provisions of this paragraph, they shall each select an arbitrator, the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator and the three arbitrators so selected shall hear and determine the controversy and their decision thereon shall be final and binding upon both Lessor and Lessee, who shall bear the cost of such arbitration equally between them. | |
| ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING | 26. The Lessee shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Lessor.* As a condition for granting its consent to any subletting the Lessor may require the Lessee to agree to pay to the Lessor, as additional rental 50% of all rents received by the Lessee from its Sublessee after deductions for brokerage commissions which are in excess of the amount payable by the Lessee to the Lessor hereunder.** The Lessee shall, by thirty (30) days written notice, advise the Lessor of its intent to sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessee’s notice, Lessor shall either give approval or disapproval to Lessee to sublease the portion of the Premises described in Lessee’s notice. If the Lessor approves a subletting, the Lessee may sublet immediately after receipt of the Lessor’s written approval. In the event Lessee is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Lessor, no assignee, transferee or sublessee shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent of the Lessor. A consent of Lessor to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not release Lessee from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessee and shall, at the option of Lessor exercised by written notice to Lessee, terminate this Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Lessor. As a condition to its consent, Lessor may require Lessee to pay all expense in connection with the assignment, and Lessor may require Lessee’s assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease.***
*Lessor agrees not to unreasonably withhold consent to sublet or assign.
**See Addendum attached
***See Addendum attached | |
| CONDEMNATION | 27. If any part of the premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall vest in the condemnor or purchaser, and the rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Lessee shall be required to pay for the remainder of the term only such portion of such rent as the value of the part remaining after such taking bears to the value of the entire Premises prior to such taking; but in such event Lessor | |
| shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor or purchaser. If all of the premises, or such part thereof be taken so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If a part or all of the Premises be taken, all compensation awarded upon such taking shall go to the Lessor and the Lessee shall have no claim thereto, except that Lessee shall have the right to receive that portion of the condemnation proceeds based upon the value of all personal property that Lessee shall have the right to remove from the Premises. | ||
| EFFECT OF CONVEYANCE | 28. The term “Lessor” as used in this Lease, means only the owner for the time being of the land and building containing the Premises, so that, in the event of any sale of said land or building, or in the event of a lease of said building, the Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder,* and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties and the purchaser at any such sale, or the Lessee of the building, that the purchaser or lessee of the building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder. If any security be given by the Lessee to secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease on the part of the Lessee, the Lessor may transfer and deliver the security, as such, to the purchaser at any such sale or the lessee of the building, and thereupon the Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.
*provided that Lessor transfers the security deposit to the transferee and the transferee assumes in writing Lessor’s obligations hereunder. | |
| SUBORDINATION | 29. Lessee agrees that this Lease may, at the option of Lessor, be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of security which has been or shall be placed on the land and building or land or building of which the Premises form a part, and this subordination is hereby made effective without any further act of Lessee. The Lessee shall, at any time hereinafter, on demand, execute any instruments, releases, or other documents that may be required by any mortgagee, mortgagor, or trustor or beneficiary under any deed of trust for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of security, and the failure of the Lessee to execute any such instruments, releases or documents, shall constitute a default hereunder.
Lessee shall not be required to execute any documents subordinating this Lease unless the holder of any such Lien executes a Non-Disturbance Agreement in favor of Lessee. | |
| WAIVER | 30. The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition, herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. | |
| HOLDING OVER | 31. Any holding over after the expiration of the said term, with the consent of Lessor, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, at a rental to be negotiated by Lessor and Lessee prior to the expiration of said term, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. | |
| SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS | 32. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. | |
| TIME | 33. Time is of the essence of this Lease. | |
| MARGINAL CAPTIONS | 34. The marginal headings or titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part thereof. This instrument contains all of the agreements and conditions made between the parties hereto and may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. | |

REVISED INSURANCE CLAUSE
This Lease Clause replaces the Insurance Clause (11.) in the Renault & Handley Net Lease Form.
| INSURANCE | 11. Lessee shall not use, or permit the Premises, or any part thereof, to be used, for any purposes other than that for which the Premises are hereby leased; and no use shall be made or permitted to be made on the Premises, nor acts done, which will cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said building, or any part thereof, nor shall Lessee sell or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about the Premises, any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policies. Lessee shall, at his sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirement pertaining to the Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance, covering said building and appurtenances.
11.1 Lessee shall, at its expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive public liability insurance insuring Lessee, Lessor, and any third parties named by Lessor which may include Lessor’s lender against* arising out or the condition, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. Such insurance policy shall have a combined single limit for both bodily injury and property damage in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). The limits of said insurance shall not limit the liability of Lessee hereunder.
*liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property
11.2 Lessee shall, at its expense, keep in force during the term of this Lease, a policy of fire and property damage insurance in an “all risk” form with a sprinkler leakage endorsement, insuring Lessee’s inventory, fixtures, equipment and personal property within the Premises for the full replacement value thereof.
11.3 Lessor shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in an “all risk” form, with sprinkler and, at the option of the Lessor, earthquake endorsements, covering loss or damage to the building, including Lessee’s leasehold improvements installed with the written consent of the Lessor for the full replacement cost thereof.
11.4 Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional rent, during the term hereof, upon receipt of an invoice therefore, 100 percent of the premiums for any insurance obtained by Lessor pursuant to 11.3 above. Lessor may obtain such insurance for the Building separately, or together with other buildings and improvements which Lessor elects to insure together under blanket policies of insurance. In such case Lessee shall be liable for only such portion of the premiums for such blanket policies as are allocable to the Premises. It is understood and agreed that Lessee’s obligation under this paragraph shall be prorated to reflect the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Lease.** |
| 11.5 Not withstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee and Lessor each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the officers, directors, employees, partners;, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to the property of the waiving party or the property of others under its control, to the extent such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy earned by Lessor or Lessee hereunder. Each party shall notify their respective insurance carriers of this waiver.
** If Lessor carries earthquake insurance, Lessee’s obligation to reimburse Lessor for premiums therefore shall not exceed $20,000.00 annually. |
ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPHS
These additional paragraphs are hereby made a part of that certain Lease dated December 6, 1996 by and between Zappettini Investment Co., Lessor, and Iridex Corporation, Lessee, covering premises at 1212 Terra Bella, Mountain View, California.
35. Options to Renew. Lessor grants to Lessee two successive two year options to renew this Lease. The first two year option shall commence, if at all, on the termination date of this Lease and will terminate on February 29, 2004. The second option period shall commence, if at all, on March 1, 2004 providing that the first option has been exercised and shall terminate on February 28, 2006. In no event can the 2nd option to renew be exercised unless the 1st option to renew has been exercised. The option terms shall be governed by all the terms and conditions as are contained in the Lease excepting that there shall be no additional options and also excepting the basic monthly rental. The basic monthly rent for each of the option terms shall be negotiated by Lessor and Lessee at the time each option is exercised and shall be based on 98 percent of the then market rent for the Premises based on similar space within a 1 mile radius of the subject property. In no event however, shall the monthly rental for the first option term be less than $46,457.50 nor shall the rental amount for the 2nd option term be less than that amount being paid for the 1st option term. In order to exercise each option, the Lessee must give the Lessor written notice a minimum of 90 days and a maximum of 120 days prior to the termination of the immediately preceding term. At the option of the Lessor, any of the above options to renew may be declared null and void if the Lessee is in default under any of the terms or conditions of the Lease when said option is exercised.
36. Lessor will indemnify, defend and hold Lessee harmless from and against all costs of response, corrective action, remedial action, claims, demands, losses and liabilities arising from any pre-existing environmental contamination which may have occurred prior to the Lessee taking possession of the Premises.
Lessee will only be responsible for contamination of the Premises or the soils or ground water thereon or thereunder in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws, that is caused by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, contractors or invitees during the term as may be extended. All hazardous materials and toxic wastes that Lessee brings on the Premises shall be stored according to Hazardous Materials’ Law.
All hazardous materials and toxic wastes that Lessee brings on the site shall be stored according to all local, state and national government regulations.

For purposes of this Lease, “Hazardous Materials Law” shall mean all local, state and federal laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, judgements, injunctions, stipulations, decrees, orders, permits, approvals, treaties or protocols now or hereafter enacted, issued or promulgated by any governmental authority which relate to any Hazardous Material or the use, handling, transportation, production, disposal, discharge, release, emission, sale or storage of, or the exposure of any person to, a Hazardous Material.
Lessor hereby releases Lessee from and waives all claims, costs, losses, damages and liabilities (“Claims”) against Lessee, arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Material present at any time on, in, under or about the Premises except to the extent that any such Claims results from the release, disposal, emission or discharge of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises by Lessee by its agent, contractors or employees. In this regard, Lessor hereby waives the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release which if known by him must have materially have affected his settlement with debtor.”

market rate Lessor would pay if it borrowed funds to replace these units from an institutional lender.

Lessee shall be responsible for that portion of the cost incurred by Lessor for the Capital Repair times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the lesser of the months in the Lease term (a) until the resetting of monthly rent for the Premises based upon the fair market value of the Premises as so repaired or improved, or (b) the useful life of the capital repairs and the denominator shall be the months on the useful life of the capital repair.

Addition to paragraph 24.
Lessor shall provide to Lessee twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to its entry onto the Premises (except in the event of an emergency) and such entry shall be subject to Lessee’s right to accompany Lessor at all times and Lessee’s reasonable security precautions.
