2. PREMISES AND COMMON AREAS LEASED.
a. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord those certain premises described in Section 1 and in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Premises"). provided that the rentable square feet shall be adjusted by Landlord's architect upon completion of the working plans and specifications for the build out of the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto and the exact amount of rentable square feet within the Premises shall be determined by Landlord's architect upon completion of the improvements pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement. Said calculations shall be made in accordance with the method of measuring rentable office space specified in the American National Standard Institute Publication ANSI 265.1-1996 (the "BOMA Standard").
b. The Premises are contained within the building at the address designated in Section 1 located in the Project described on Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Project").

d. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Building and the Project and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Paragraph 30 below the following areas ("Common Areas") appurtenant to the Premises:
(1) The Building's common entrances, lobbies, restrooms, elevators, stairways and accessways, loading docks, ramps, drives and platforms and any passageways and serviceways thereto, and the common pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant equipment serving the Premises;
(2) Loading and unloading areas, trash areas, parking areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways and landscaped areas and similar areas and facilities appurtenant to the Building.
e. Landlord reserves the right from time to time without unreasonable interference with Tenant's use:
(1) To install, use, maintain, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts of the Building above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas and to relocate any pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment included in the Premises which are located in the Premises or located elsewhere outside the Premises, and to expand the Building or Project;
(2) To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways;

4. POSSESSION.
Tenant agrees that, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the scheduled commencement of the term of this Lease, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, nor shall the expiration date of the above term be in any way extended, but in such event Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially completed. If Landlord completes construction of the Tenant Improvements prior to the date scheduled in the Work Schedule, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon such completion and the term of this Lease shall thereupon commence.
5. RENT.
a. Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent in the initial amount set forth in Section 1 which shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month ("Base Monthly Rent") provided, however, the first month's rent shall be due and payable upon execution of this lease.
b. If Section 1.i.(1) is initialed, the Base Monthly Rent shall be subject to increase on each annual anniversary of the commencement of the term of this Lease. The base for computing the increase is the Consumer Price Index all Urban Consumers U.S. City Average (1982-84=100), published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“Index”), which is in effect on the ninetieth (90th) day preceding the date of the commencement of the term ("Beginning Index"). The Index published and in effect on the ninetieth (90th) day preceding each anniversary of the commencement of the term of this Lease (“Extension Index") is to be used in determining the amount of the increase from one year to the next. Beginning with the rent due on and after the first anniversary of the commencement of the term of this Lease, and on and after each subsequent anniversary, the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to equal the product achieved by multiplying the initial full base monthly rent due with respect to the month immediately preceding such anniversary date by a fraction. On the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, the numerator of the fraction will be the Extension Index and the denominator will be the Beginning Index. On the second and any subsequent anniversaries of the Commencement Date, the numerator of the fraction will be the current Extension Index and the denominator will be the Extension Index used to calculate the previous year’s rental increase. If there is a decline from one lease year to the next in the Extension Index, the monthly rent due during the subsequent lease year shall equal the monthly rent due during the then present lease year.
If the index is changed so that the base year differs from that in effect when the term commences, the Index shall be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised.
c. If section 1.i. (2) is initialed, Base Monthly Rent shall be increased periodically to the amounts and at the times set forth in Section 1.i.(2).
d. All rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in advance on the first day of every calendar month, at the address shown in Section 1, or such other place as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. All rent shall be paid without prior demand or notice and without any deduction or offset whatsoever. All rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America. All rent due for any partial month shall be prorated at the rate of 1 /30th of the total monthly rent per day. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received when due, Tenant shall pay to landlord an additional sum equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the then maximum lawful rate permitted, but no more than 10% annually, to be charged by Landlord. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of $25.00, and thereafter, Landlord may require Tenant to pay all future payments of rent or other sums due by money order or cashier's check.
e. Upon the execution of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prepaid rent set forth in Section 1, and if Tenant is not in default of any provisions of the Lease, such prepaid rent shall be applied toward the rent due for the first month of the term. Landlord's obligations with respect to the prepaid rent are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the prepaid rent with Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the prepaid rent. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's prepaid rent; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said prepaid rent.
f. If the term of this Lease contains any rental abatement period, Tenant hereby agrees that if Tenant breaches the Lease and/or abandons the Premises before the end of the Lease term, or if Tenant's right to possession is terminated by Landlord because of Tenant's breach of the Lease, Landlord shall, at its option, (1) void the rental abatement period; and (2) recover from Tenant, in addition to any damages due Landlord under the terms and conditions of the Lease, rent prorated for the duration of the rental abatement period at a rental rate equivalent to two (2) times the Base Monthly Rent., subject to Tenant’s right to cure the default within 30 days after receiving written notice from the Landlord.
9. "For purposes of Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties to this lease agreement hereby agree to allocate the stated rents, provided herein, to the periods which correspond to the actual rent payments as provided under the terms and conditions of this agreement."
6. RENTAL ADJUSTMENT.
a. For the purposes of this Paragraph 6, the following terms are defined as follows:
(1) Tenant's Percentage shall mean that portion of the total rentable area of the Project occupied by Tenant as set forth as a percentage in Section 1.
(2) Operating Expense Allowance shall mean that portion of Tenant's Percentage of the Operating Expenses which Landlord has included in the Annual Basic Rent and which amount is set forth in Section 1.
4 |

Operating Expenses shall not include depreciation on buildings or equipment therein, Landlord's executive salaries, tenant improvements, or real estate brokers' commissions.
(4) As used herein, the term "real property taxes" shall include any form of assessment, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, penalty tax or similar imposition, imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) any tax on Landlord's "right" to other income from the Premises or as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises;
(b) any assessment, tax. fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real estate tax, including but not limited to, any assessments., taxes, fees, levies and charges that may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of "real property taxes" for the purposes of this Lease;
(c) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax levied by the State, city or federal government, or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

b. If Tenant's Percentage of the Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for any calendar year exceeds the Operating Expense Allowance included in Tenant's rent, then Tenant shall pay such excess as additional rent. For each calendar year during the term of the Lease, or portion thereof, Tenant shall pay its percentage of Landlord’s estimate of the amount by which Operating Expenses for that year shall exceed the Operating Expense Allowance, which estimate may be changed from time to time by Landlord. This estimated amount shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the receipt of the estimate for the first calendar year of the Lease term, an amount equal to one monthly installment multiplied by the number of months from the Commencement Date to the month of such payment, both months inclusive. Subsequent installments shall be payable concurrently with the regular monthly rent payments for the balance of that calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar year's estimate is rendered. If, in any calendar year, Tenant's Percentage of actual Operating Expenses is less than the estimate for that year, then upon receipt of Landlord's statement, any overpayment made by Tenant on the monthly installment basis shall be credited towards the next monthly rent falling due and the estimated monthly installments of Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to reflect such lower Operating Expenses for the most recent calendar year. Similarly, if Tenant's percentage of the actual Operating Expenses for any calendar year is greater than the estimated payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such difference to Landlord on the regular monthly rent payment date next following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's statement of actual Operating Expenses.
5 |
c. Even though the term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely, any overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant.
7. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount of the security deposit set forth in Section 1 in part as security for the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease and in part as a cleaning fee. If Tenant is in default, Landlord can use the security deposit or any portion of it to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for all damage sustained by landlord resulting from Tenant's default. Upon demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the security deposit expended or applied by Landlord to maintain the security deposit in the amount initially deposited with Landlord. In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the security deposit to any rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the entire security deposit to Tenant. Landlord's obligations with respect to the deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the security deposit with Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's prepaid deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said prepaid deposit. Should Landlord sell its interest in the Premises during the term hereof and if Landlord agrees to deposit Tenant’s security deposit with the purchaser thereof the then unappropriated funds deposited by Tenant as aforesaid, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant, including but not limited to damages awardable pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or successor statute.
8. USE.
Tenant shall use the Premises for the uses set forth in Section 1 above, and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive right to such use in the Building.

Tenant shall comply with any direction of any governmental authority having jurisdiction that shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof. Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Insurance Service Office or any other organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or; allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall comply with all restrictive covenants and obligations created by private contracts which affect the use and operation of the Premises, the Building, the Common Area or the Project. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises and shall keep the Premises in first class repair and appearance.

Further, Tenant's business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise that may be transmitted to the building structure or to any other space in the building shall be so installed, maintained and used by Tenant as to eliminate such vibration or noise. Tenant shall be responsible for all structural engineering required to determine structural load.
9. NOTICES.
Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by mail, and if given by mail shall be deemed sufficiently given if sent by registered or certified mail addressed to Tenant at the address(es) designated in Section 1 or to Landlord at both of the addresses designated in Section 1. Either party may specify a different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other, except that the Landlord may in any event use the Premises as Tenant's address for notice purposes.
10. BROKERS.
Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, except for those certain brokers whose names are set forth in Section 1 and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. If Tenant has dealt with any other person or real estate broker with respect to leasing or renting space in the Project, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said person or firm and Tenant shall hold Landlord free and harmless against any liability in respect thereto, including attorneys' fees and costs.
11. HOLDING OVER.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof without the express written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall become a Tenant at sufferance only, at a rental rate equal to the greater of Landlord's scheduled rent for the space or one hundred fifty twenty-five percent (125%) of the rent in effect upon the date of such expiration (subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 6 hereof and prorated on a daily basis) and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of Vent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 11 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claim made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender and any attorney's fees and costs.

12. TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY.
a. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, at least ten (10) days before delinquency, all taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the portion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment.
b. If the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s Rebuilding Standard" for other space in the building are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against the Building or Project by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 12a above. If the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction shall be used.
13. CONDITION OF PREMISES.
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant's business. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the building were in satisfactory condition at such time. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant’s execution of the Notice attached hereto as EXHIBIT "C" shall constitute a specific acknowledgment and acceptance of the various start-up inconveniences that may be associated with the use of the Common Areas such as certain construction obstacles including scaffolding, delays in use of freight elevator service, certain elevators not being available to Tenant, the passage of work crews using elevators, uneven air conditioning services and other typical conditions incident to recently constructed office buildings.
14. ALTERATIONS.

Tenant shall construct such alterations, additions or improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and shall not amend or modify such plans and specifications without Landlord's prior written consent. If the proposed change requires the consent or approval of any Landlord of a superior lease, or the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Premises, such consent or approval must be secured prior to the construction of such alteration, addition or improvement. Tenant agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which might interfere with Landlord’s free access to mechanical installations or service facilities of the building or interfere with the moving of Landlord's equipment to or from the enclosures containing said installations or facilities. All such work shall be done at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time designate. Tenant covenants and agrees that all work done by Tenant shall be performed in full compliance with all laws, rules, orders, ordinances, regulations and requirements of all governmental agencies, offices and boards having jurisdiction, and in full compliance with the rules, regulations and requirements of the Insurance Service Office, and of any similar body.

All alterations, additions or improvements upon the Premises made by either party, including (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) all wallcovering, built-in cabinet work, paneling and the like, shall, unless Landlord elects otherwise, become the property of Landlord, and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with the Premises, as a part thereof, at the end of the term hereof, except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, require Tenant to remove all partitions, counters, railings and the like installed by Tenant, and Tenant shall repair all damage resulting from such removal or, at Landlord's option, shall pay to Landlord all costs arising from such removal.

If Tenant shall fail to remove all of its effects from the Premises upon termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, Landlord may, at its option, remove the same in any manner that Landlord shall choose, and store said effects without liability to Tenant for loss thereof. In such event, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord upon demand any and all expenses incurred in such removal, including court costs and attorneys' fees and storage charges on such effects, for any length of time that the same shall be in Landlord's possession. Landlord may, at its option, without notice, sell said effects, or any of the same, at private sale and without legal process, for such price as Landlord may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale upon any amounts due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord and upon the expense incident to the removal and sale of said effects.

Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Paragraph 23 hereof, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.

Landlord may, in order to carry out such purposes, erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, provided that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with as little as reasonably practicable. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss in, upon and about the Premises. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes. Landlord shall have the right to use any and ail means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises.

It is understood and agreed that no provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed herein by Landlord.

In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of such failure, no eviction of Tenant shall result from such failure and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of such failure. In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord shall diligently attempt to resume service promptly. If Tenant requires or utilizes more water or electrical power than is considered reasonable or normal by Landlord, Landlord may at its option require Tenant to pay, as additional rent, the cost, as fairly determined by Landlord, incurred by such extraordinary usage. In addition, Landlord may install separate meter(s) for the Premises, at Tenant's sole expense, and Tenant thereafter shall pay all charges of the utility providing service and Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to account for the fact Tenant is directly paying such metered charges. The Premises are separately metered.

a. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Premises or the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises, the Building, the Project or the Common Area. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or of its agents or employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to person in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease where such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failures. Tenant hereby waives all its claims in respect thereof against Landlord.
b. Neither Landlord nor any partner, director, officer, agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant or its partners, directors, officers, contractors, agents, employees, invitees, subtenants or licensees, for any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person, or to its or their property, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless solely caused by or solely resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees in the operation or maintenance of the Premises, the building, or the Project without contributory negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their employees, agents or contractors, or any other Tenants or occupants of the building or Project. Further, neither Landlord nor any partner, director, officer, agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable (i) for any such damage caused by other Tenants or persons in or about the building or Project, or caused by quasi-public work; or (ii) for consequential damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises of any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 20 to the contrary, Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for (i) any damage to any property entrusted to employees of the building or Project, (ii) loss or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing work therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for interference with light or other incorporeal hereditaments, nor shall Landlord be liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the building or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.
22. TENANT'S INSURANCE.
a. Tenant shall, during the term hereof and any other period of occupancy, at its sole cost and expense, keep in full force and effect the following insurance:
(1) Standard form property insurance insuring against the perils of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended coverage ("All-Risk") and sprinkler leakage. This insurance policy shall be upon all property owned by Tenant, for which Tenant is legally liable or that was installed at Tenant’s expense, and which is located in the Project including, without limitation, furniture, fittings, installations, fixtures (other than Tenant improvements installed by Landlord), and any other personal property, in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement cost thereof. In the event that there shall be a dispute as to the amount which comprises full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord shall be conclusive. This insurance policy shall also be upon direct or indirect loss of Tenant's earnings attributable to Tenant's inability to use fully or obtain access to the Premises, Building or Project in an amount as will properly reimburse Tenant. Such policy shall name Landlord and any mortgagees of Landlord as insured parties, as their respective interests may appear.
(2) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance insuring Tenant against any liability arising out of the lease, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit for injury to, or death of one or more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including loss of use) in an occurrence, with such liability amount to be adjusted from year to year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index. The policy shall insure the hazards of the Premises and Tenant's Operations thereon, independent contractors, contractual liability (covering the indemnity contained in Paragraph 20 hereof) and shall (a) name Landlord as an additional insured, (b) contain a cross liability provision and (c) contain a provision that the insurance provided the Landlord hereunder shall be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to the Landlord.
(3) Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance (as required by state law).
(4) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself.
9 |
b. All policies shall be written in a form satisfactory to Landlord and shall be taken out with insurance companies holding a General Policyholders Rating of “A" and a Financial Rating of "X" or better, as set forth in the most current issue of Best's insurance Reports. Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of policies or certificates evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or reducible in coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this Paragraph, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the cost of any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed.
c. During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall insure the Building (excluding any property which Tenant is obligated to insure under Subparagraphs 22a and b hereof) against damage with All-Risk insurance and public liability insurance, all in such amounts and with such deductions as Landlord considers appropriate. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry any other form or forms of insurance as it or Landlord's mortgagees may determine advisable. Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums, as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies carried by Landlord.
d. Tenant will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any article that may be prohibited by any insurance policy periodically in force covering the Building. If Tenant's occupancy or business in, or on, the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance periodically carried by Landlord with respect to the Building, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as additional rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefore by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building or the Tenant improvements showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or any present or future insurer relating to the Premises.
e. If any of Landlord's insurance policies shall be canceled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage thereunder reduced or threatened to be reduced in any way because of the use of the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction of coverage, threatened reduction of coverage, increase in premiums, or threatened increase in premiums, within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay the cost thereof to Landlord as additional rent. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises resulting from such entry. If Landlord is unable, or elects not to remedy such condition, then Landlord shall have all of the remedies provided for in this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subparagraph 22e, if Tenant fails to remedy as aforesaid, Tenant shall be in default of its obligation hereunder and Landlord shall have no obligation to remedy such default.
f. All policies of insurance required hereunder shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured before the occurrence of injury or loss. Landlord and Tenant waive any rights of recovery against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by policies of insurance containing such a waiver of subrogation clause or endorsement to the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby.
23. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
a. In the event the building and/or the Premises is damaged by fire or other perils covered by Landlord's insurance, Landlord shall:
(1) In the event of total destruction, at Landlord's option, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the building and/or the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or within ninety (90) days after such damage, elect not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the building and/or the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. In either event, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within said ninety (90) day period. In the event Landlord elects not to restore the building, and/or the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such total destruction.
(2) In the event of a partial destruction of the building and/or the Premises, to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof, and if the damage thereto is such that the building and/or the Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the happening of such casualty, and if Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration shall require a period longer than ninety (90) days or exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof, or if said insurance proceeds will not be sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, then Landlord either may elect to so repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect or Landlord may elect not; repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall then terminate. Under any of the conditions of this Subparagraph 23.a(2), Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention within said ninety (90) day period. In the event Landlord elects not to restore the building and/or the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial destruction.
b. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Paragraph 23, the parties shall be released without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord except for items which have therefore accrued and are then unpaid.
c. In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration by Landlord as herein provided, the rental payable under this lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration; provided that there shall be no abatement of rent if such damage is the result of Tenant's negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss in the use of the whole or any part of the Premises and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.
10 |
d. Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Paragraph 23. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 23, if Landlord is delayed or prevented from repairing or restoring the damaged Premises within one (1) year after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to procure the necessary labor or materials, or other cause beyond the control of Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease, whereupon Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease as of the end of said one year period.
e. If damage is due to any cause other than fire or other peril covered by extended coverage insurance, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease.
f. If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to make repair or restoration only of those portions of the building and the Premises which were originally provided at Landlord's expense, and the repair and restoration of items not provided at Landlords expense shall be the obligation of Tenant.
g. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 23, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Paragraph 23 occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease or any extension hereof.
h. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any statutes or court decisions which relate to the abatement or termination of leases when leased property is damaged or destroyed and agree that such event shall be exclusively governed by the terms of this Lease.
24. EMINENT DOMAIN.
a. In case all of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. In the event the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant, Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant.
b. In the event of taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (1) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not abate, and (2) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall then pay to Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing Tenant's obligations under Paragraph 15 with respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such payment shall be excused from such obligations. For purpose of this Subparagraph 24b, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of 270 days or less.
25. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
a. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:
(1) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for ten (10) business days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease.
(2) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due.
(3) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Subparagraph 25a.(1) or (2) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. If the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord.
(4) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
b. In the event of any such default by Tenant, 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. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(1) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(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 Tenant proves could have been reasonable avoided; plus
11 |
(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 Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
As used in Subparagraphs 25b (1) and (2) above, the “worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. As used in Subparagraph 25b (3) above, the Worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
c. In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease. to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph 25c shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
d. In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter as provided above or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided above. Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for the term for this Lease on terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.
In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises, fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied to payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefore by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred, including but not limited to brokers' commissions, by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.
e. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained m this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law, whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The consent or approval of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.
26. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
a. Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's prior written consent shall be voidable at Landlord's election and shall constitute a default. For purposes hereof, in the event Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change in one or more transfers of partners owning more than a fifty percent (50%) interest in the partnership, or if Tenant is a corporation, any transfer of fifty percent (50%) of its stock in one or more transfers to a single entity, shall constitute a voluntary assignment and shall be subject to these provisions. No consent to an assignment, encumbrance or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this Paragraph. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's intent to assign, encumber or sublease this Lease, the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant, information concerning the financial responsibility of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the terms of the proposed assignment or subletting, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) ten (10) days of receipt of such written notice, and additional information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed assignee's or subtenant's financial responsibility, elect one of the following: (1) consent to such proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease; (2) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or (3) elect to terminate this Lease, or in the case of a partial sublease, terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet. As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease, Landlord may require that the rent payable by such assignee or subtenant is at the then current published rental rates for the Premises or comparable premises in the Building, but not less than the then current Base Monthly Rent under this Lease and may require that the assignee or subtenant remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due to Tenant by said assignee or subtenant. In addition, a condition to Landlord’s consent to any assignment, transfer or hypothecation of this Lease shall be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, transfer or hypothecation, and the delivery to Landlord of an agreement executed by the assignee in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and expressly enforceable by Landlord, whereby the assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Reven Capital, LLC, which is owned by Chad Carpenter and its subsidiaries or companies, Chad Carpenter and/or RC Invest In and and XEquity, Inc (“RC); and Alliance Turnaround, which is owned by Thad Meyer and its subsidiaries, (“AC”) may do business in the Premises and may pay some rent to Tenant.
b. As a condition to Landlord's consent to any sublease, such sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all mortgages; that Landlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rent; that in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason, including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or in the event of any reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, either (1) terminate the sublease or (2) take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, in which case such subtenant shall attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless Landlord shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the subtenant against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of any sublease made without Landlord's written consent, or by any previous prepayment by subtenant of more than one month's rent.

c. In the event that Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease under the provisions of this Paragraph 26, Tenant shall pay Landlord's processing costs and attorneys' fees incurred in giving such consent, which shall not exceed $1,000.00. If Landlord shall consent to any assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, three-quarters (3/4) of all sums and other considerations payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the assignee on account of the assignment, as and when such sums and other consideration are due and payable by the assignee to or for the benefit of Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant's liability for the same, Tenant shall instruct the assignee to pay such sums and other consideration directly to Landlord). If for any proposed sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the sublease, in excess of the rent called for hereunder or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken into account. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent hereunder three quarters (3/4) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its receipt. Landlord’s waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee or subtenant from any obligation under this Lease whether or not accrued. Occupancy of all or part of the Premises by parent or subsidiary companies of Tenant shall not be deemed an assignment or subletting. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or a portion of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt by Landlord of the financial responsibility information required by this Paragraph 26, to terminate this Lease effective as of the date Tenant proposes to assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises. Landlords right to terminate this Lease as to all or a portion of the Premises on assignment or subletting shall not terminate as a result of Landlord's consent to the assignment of this Lease or a subletting of all or a portion of the Premises or Landlord's failure to exercise this right with respect to any assignment or subletting. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the option, as provided in this Paragraph 26, to terminate this Lease rather than approve the assignment thereof or the subletting of all or any portion of the Premises, is a material inducement for Landlord's agreeing to lease the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions herein set for h.

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES
The following Standards for Utilities and Services are in effect. Landlord reserves the right to adapt nondiscriminatory modifications and additions hereto.
As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease, Landlord shall:
1. | Provide non-attended automatic elevator facilities Monday through Friday, except holidays from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M., and have one elevator available at all other times. |
2. | On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M., and on Saturday mornings from 8 A.M. to 12 Noon (and other times for a reasonable additional charge to be fixed by Landlord), ventilate the Premises and furnish air conditioning or heating on such days and hours, when in the reasonable judgment of Landlord it may be required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises. The air conditioning system achieves maximum cooling when the window coverings are closed. Landlord shall not be responsible for room temperatures if Tenant does not keep all window coverings in the Premises closed whenever the system is in operation. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper function and protection of said air conditioning system. Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus, device, conduit or pipe to the building chilled and hot water air conditioning supply lines. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants, employees, agents, visitors, licensees or contractors shall at any time enter mechanical installations or facilities of the building or adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the air conditioning system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant's adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant's failure to comply with its obligations under this section, including keeping window coverings closed as needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeymen's wages for air conditioning mechanics. |
3. | Landlord shall furnish to the Premises, during the usual business hours on business days, electric current as required by the building standard office lighting and fractional horsepower office business machines in an amount not to exceed .025 KWH per square foot per normal business day. Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the aforesaid quantity or extend beyond normal business hours, to reimburse Landlord monthly for the measured consumption at the average cost per kilowatt hour charged to the building during the period. If a separate meter is not installed at Tenant's cost, such excess cost will be established by an estimate agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree, as established by an independent licensed engineer. Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or device in, or upon, or about the Premises which may in any way increase the amount of such services usually furnished or supplied to said Premises, and Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus or device with wires, conduits or pipes, or other means by which such services are supplied, for the purpose of using additional or unusual amounts of such services without written consent of Landlord. Should Tenant use the same to excess, the refusal on the part of Tenant to pay upon demand of Landlord the amount established by Landlord for such excess charge shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights therein granted for such breach. At all times Tenant's use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the building or the risers or wiring installation and Tenants shall not install or use or permit the installation or use of any computer or electronic data processing equipment in the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. |
4. | Water will be available in public areas for drinking and lavatory purposes only, but if Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purposes in addition to ordinary drinking and lavatory purposes, of which fact Tenant constitutes Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord may install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation thereof and throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy Tenant shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant's own cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause such meter and equipment to be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on said meter, as and when bills are rendered, and on default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such. |
5. | Provide janitor service to the Premises five (5) days per week, except holidays, provided the same are used exclusively as offices, and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant, and if to be kept clean by Tenant, no one other than persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes.

The United States Congress has enacted the Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), a federal law codified at 42 USC § 12101 et seq., which became effective January 26, 1992. Owners and Tenants are subject to this law which, among other things, is intended to make business establishments equally accessible to persons with a variety of disabilities. Under this law, modifications to real property improvements may be required by owners and Tenants. Owners/Landlords and Tenants may delegate between themselves costs and responsibilities for meeting the requirements of the law but the fact that responsibilities have been allocated does not reduce or negate liability to an individual with a disability who files and wins a lawsuit. Broker strongly recommends that Owners/Landlords and Tenants consult design professionals, architects or attorneys to advise them with respect to the law's applicability and to prepare, if necessary, any language in leases or other contracts. The undersigned acknowledge that Broker is not qualified as an expert in this matter. |

( ) Have undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) and it was determined that the Premises did not meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code Section 55.51 et esq.

In the event that Tenant’s use of the Premises will require modifications or additions to the Premises in order to comply with the ADA, Tenant agrees to make any such modification and/or additions at Tenant’s sole expense.
10. | DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE NATURE OF A REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP. |
(a) | When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Landlord or Tenant should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows: |
(i) | Landlord’s Agent. A Landlord’s agent under a listing agreement with the Landlord acts as the agent for the Landlord only. A Landlord’s agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Landlord: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Landlord. To the Tenant and the Landlord: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value of desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. |
(ii) | Tenant’s Agent. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Tenant only. In these situations, the agent is not the Landlord’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Landlord. An agent action only for a Tenant has the following affirmative obligations. To the Tenant: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Tenant. To the Tenant and Landlord: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value of desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. |
(iii) | Agent Representation Both Landlord and Tenant. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses can legally be the agent of both the Landlord and the Tenant in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Landlord and Tenant. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Landlord and the Tenant: a fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Landlord or the Tenant. b. Other duties to the Landlord and the Tenant as state above in subparagraphs (i) or (ii). In representing both Landlord and Tenant, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Landlord will accept rent in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or that the Tenant is willing to pay a higher rent than that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Landlord or Tenant from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Landlord and Tenant should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to give advice about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. |
(b) | Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the Start Date and that the liability (including court cost and attorney’s fees), of any Broker with respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker. |
(c) | Landlord and Tenant agree to identify to Broker’s as “Confidential” any communication or information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential. |
(d) | The following real estate Brokers (the “Brokers”) and brokerage relationships exist in this transactions (check applicable boxes): |
¨ | represents Landlord exclusively (“Landlord’s Broker”) | ||
¨ | represents Tenant exclusively (:Tenant’s Broker”) | ||
¨ | Capital Growth Properties, Inc. | represents both Landlord and Tenant (“Dual Agency”) |
