ARTICLE 2. PREMISES

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the term, at the Rent, and upon the covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, those certain premises, described in Article 1 hereof, including the underlying realty and the improvements thereon or so much thereof as Tenant is entitled to occupy or use hereunder (hereinafter collectively the “Premises”).

ARTICLE 3. TERM

3.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall continue during the Lease term specified in Article 1 hereof, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided in this Lease,

3.2 Delay in Commencement. Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord for any reason to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the commencement date set forth in Article 1, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby nor shall such inability affect the validity of this Lease but in such case Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent or other monetary sums until possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant; provided that if the delay in delivery of possession exceeds one hundred and twenty (120) days, then Tenant at its option, to be exercised within ten (10) days after the end of said one hundred and twenty day (120) period, may terminate this Lease. If Tenant terminates the Lease in such manner, Landlord shall return any monies previously deposited by Tenant and the parties shall be discharged from all obligation, hereunder.

The obligations of Landlord and Tenant to perform work, supply labor and materials and prepare the Premises for occupancy are set forth in detail in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Landlord and Tenant shall expend all funds and do all acts required of them in Exhibit B and shall have the work performed promptly and diligently and in a first-class, workmanlike manner. If Landlord is obligated hereunder to perform construction or remodeling work, then possession shall not be deemed tendered and the term of this Lease shall not commence until the first to occur of the following: (a) seven (7) days after written certification by Landlord that Landlord’s construction work has been completed; or (b) upon the Tenant’s opening for business within the Premises.

If any rent herein reserved or any other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue and unpaid or should Landlord make payments on behalf of the Tenant, or should Tenant fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply the entire Security Deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of Rent or other sums due to such breach on the part of Tenant; Tenant shall within ten (10) days of demand therefore restore the Security Deposit to the original sum deposited. Should Tenant comply with all of said terms and promptly pay all Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term of the lease. In the event Tenant fails to occupy the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Landlord’s remedies shall include, without limitation thereto, retention of all sums deposited herewith or otherwise paid pursuant to this Lease.

In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent and other sums due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings.

Landlord may deliver the funds deposited hereunder by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Premises in the event that such interest be sold and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit, and this provision shall also apply to any subsequent transferees.

Landlord shall make from time to time, if necessary, all or any portion of the Common Areas to such extent as may be legally sufficient, in the option of Landlord’s counsel, to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of rights of any person or of the public therein, or to close temporarily all or any portion of such Common Areas for such purposes.

All subsequent costs in connection with the storage of said items shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant as accrued.

Such insurance shall provide protection against any peril included within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage (from roof leakage, ground water or otherwise) and special extended peril (all risk).

The insuring party shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required under this Lease, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.

16.1 Partial Damage. In the event improvements on the Premises are damaged by any casualty which is covered under an insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to Article 15.2, then Landlord shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event the improvements on the Premises are damaged by any casualty not covered under an insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to Article 15.2, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, either (a) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord’s expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (b) give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage of landlord’s intention to cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of the damage. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this lease pursuant hereto, Tenant shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of the required notice to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intention to repair such damage at Tenant’s expense, without reimbursement from Landlord, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible. If Tenant does not give such notice within the ten (10) day period, this Lease shall be canceled and terminated as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any restoration or replacement of any paneling, decorations, office fixtures, partitions, railings, ceilings, floor covering, equipment, machinery, or fixtures or any other improvements or property installed in the Premises by Tenant or at the direct or indirect expense of Tenant. Tenant at his discretion may restore or replace same in the event of damage.

16.2 Total Destruction. If the improvements on the Premises are totally destroyed during the term of this Lease from any cause whether or not covered by the insurance required under Article 15.2 (including any destruction required by any authorized public authority), this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction.

16.3 Damage Near End of the Term. If the improvements on the Premises are partially

 

11


destroyed or damaged during the last year of the term of this Lease, Landlord may at Landlord’s option cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage.

16.4 Partial Destruction of Project. If fifty percent (50%) or more of the Buildings constituting the Project shall be damaged or destroyed by an insured risk, or if fifteen percent (15 %) or more of the Buildings constituting the Project shall be damaged or destroyed by an uninsured risk, notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected thereby, Landlord may at its option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to do so within ninety (90) days from the date of occurrence of such damage or destruction in which event the term of this Lease shall expire within sixty (60) days and Tenant shall thereupon surrender the Premises to Landlord.

 

16.5 Abatement of Rent: Tenant’s Remedies: Advance Payments.

a. Abatement of Rent. If the Premises are partially destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs them pursuant to this Lease, the Rent payable hereunder for the period during which such damage and repair continues shall be abated in proportion to the extent to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired. Except for abatement of Rent (if any), Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, or restoration.

b. Tenant’s Remedies. If Landlord shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under this Article 16 and shall not commence such repair or restoration within forty-five (45) days after such obligation shall accrue, Tenant at Tenant’s option may cancel and terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice.

c. Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant hereto, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning Prepaid Rent and any advance payments made by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall in addition return to Tenant so much of Tenant’s Security Deposit as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord.

ARTICLE 17. CONDEMNATION

If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold by Landlord under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which is herein referred to as “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Project is taken by condemnation, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes possession by notice in writing of such election within twenty (20) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession.

If this Lease is not terminated by either Landlord or Tenant, then it shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, provided the Rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area taken within the Premises bears to the total floor area of all of the Premises leased to Tenant pursuant hereto. In the event this Lease is not so terminated, then Landlord agrees, at Landlord’s sole cost, to restore the Premises as soon as possible to a complete unit reasonably capable in Landlord’s opinion of accommodating Tenant’s usage as that usage existed prior to the condemnation. All awards for the taking of any part of the Premises or any payment made under the threat of the exercise of power of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether made as compensation for the taking of the fee of severance damages (including without limitation bonus value). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for the interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business and/or for Tenant’s unamortized cost of its leasehold improvements provided that as to partitions or other improvements in the nature of realty installed or constructed by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to receive only the unamortized cost thereof computed over the remaining useful life, not to

 

12


exceed the balance of the initial term of this Lease. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord shall, to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefore by the condemning authority in which case Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

ARTICLE 18. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOLLOWING AND WITHOUT INCURRING ANY OBLIGATION TO ACT OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE 18 WHEN A TENANT HAS EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO VACATE THE PREMISES, IT HAS BEEN LANDLORD’S PREFERENCE TO NEGOTIATE WITH TENANT TO TERMINATE TENANT’S OCCUPANCY ENTIRELY UPON SECURING AN ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE TENANT.

18.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Except where Tenant may assign this Lease to its parent or affiliated entities Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign this Lease or enter into license or concession agreements, sublet all or any part of the Premises, or otherwise transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises or any part thereof, without Landlord’s prior written consent and any attempt to do so without such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

18.2 Reasonable Consent. If Tenant complies with the following conditions, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the assignment of the lease or the Subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof: Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed Assignee or Sublessee; (b) the nature of the proposed Assignee’s or Sublessee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed Assignment or Sublease; (d) such reasonable financial information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed Assignee or Sublessee including, without limitation, financial history, credit rating and business experience. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has entered into this Lease in reliance on the particular skills, knowledge and experience of Tenant and/or the principal officer of Tenant with respect to the conduct of business in the Premises; Tenant recognizes that Landlord’s substantial investment at risk under the terms of this Lease is based upon Landlord’s judgmental consideration regarding Tenant’s abilities as set forth above. Without in any way limiting Landlord’s rights to refuse to give such consent for any other reason or reasons Landlord reserves the right to give such consent if in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment the quality of operation is or may be in any way adversely affected during the term of the Lease. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding contained herein or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord as additional consideration for approval of such assignment or subletting shall be entitled to receive any and all consideration payable in connection therewith, including without limitation, any additional Rent or other charges or any lump sum settlement after Tenants has recovered it’s reasonable costs related to such assignment and sublease.

18.3 No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent; assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Premises. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any other such assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Premises. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or other transfer.

Provided that Tenant is still occupying the Premises, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all Rent and other sums above 50% of the total rent paid by Tenant at that time from any subletting of the Premises, and agrees that Landlord, may collect such Rent and other sums and apply the same as provide in Section 19 upon Tenant’s default; provided, however, that until the occurrence of any act of default by Tenant or subtenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such sums.

 

13


ARTICLE 19. DEFAULT; REMEDIES

19.1 Defaults by Tenant: Remedies. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) any failure by Tenant to pay Rent or any other monetary sums required to be paid hereunder (where such failure continues for three (3) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant); (b) the abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant; (c) a failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within said ten (10) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default. Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; provided, further, however, Landlord in its sole discretion may require Tenant to deliver a bond, deposit funds or such other form of security device which may be necessary to prosecute the Premises, Landlord, and the Project in the event such default cannot be cured within said ten (10) day period. Any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required by law.

a. Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have be reason of such default or breach;

(i) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the Rent and other monetary charges as they become due without terminating Tenant’s right to possession, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4.

(ii) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession by and lawful means, in which case the Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default as more particularly set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.2.

Landlord shall also be entitled to recover all leasing commissions, costs or preparing the Premises for reletting and any other costs and expenses in lieu of any of the foregoing, or as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of California.

For all purposes of this Article 18, the term “Rent” shall be deemed to be the Rent set forth in Article 1 and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease. All such sums shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) month period, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before such a twenty-four (24) month period has occurred then such Rent shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during such shorter period.

b. Additional Rights of Landlord. In the event of default, all of Tenant’s fixtures, fixture equipment, improvements, additions, alterations, and other personal property shall remain on the Premises and in the event, and continuing during the length of said default, Landlord shall have the right to take the exclusive possession of same and to use same, rent or charge free, until all defaults are cured or, at its option, at any time during the term of this Lease to require Tenant to forthwith remove the same.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payments by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord 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 Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. ACCORDINGLY IF ANY INSTALLMENT OF RENT OR ANY OTHER SUM DUE FROM TENANT SHALL NOT BE RECEIVED BY LANDLORD OR LANDLORD’S DESIGNEE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE DUE, TENANT SHALL PAY TO LANDLORD

 

14


A LATE CHARGE EQUAL TO EIGHT PERCENT (8%) OF SUCH OVERDUE AMOUNT. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

Tenant hereunder waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under the laws of the State of California or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default by Tenant hereunder.

Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any covenant of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any default by Tenant hereunder.

 

19.2 Rights and Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code.

a. Upon the filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the United States Bankruptcy Code Tenant, as debtor in possession, and any trustee who may be appointed agree as follows: (1) to perform each and every obligation of Tenant under this Lease until such time as this Lease is either rejected or assumed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court; and (2) to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each month a reasonable compensation for use and occupancy of the Premises an amount equal to the Rent and other charges otherwise due pursuant to this Lease; and (3) to reject or assume this Lease within sixty (60) days of the filing of such petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or within one hundred twenty (120) days (or such shorter term as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem reasonable so long as notice of such period is given) of the filing of a petition under any other Chapter; and (4) to give Landlord at least forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any abandonment of the Premises; any such abandonment to be deemed a rejection of this Lease; and (5) to do all other things of benefit to Landlord otherwise required under the Bankruptcy Code; and (6) to be deemed to have rejected this Lease in the event of the failure to comply with any of the above; and (7) to have consented to the entry of an order by an appropriate United States Bankruptcy Court providing all of the above, waiving notice and hearing of the entry of same.

b. Included within and in addition to any other condition or obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of assumption and/or assignment are the following: (1) the cure of any monetary defaults and the reimbursement of pecuniary loss within not more than more than thirty (30) days of assumption and/or assignment; and (2) the deposit of an additional sum equal to three (3) months Rent to be held pursuant to the terms of Article 5 of this Lease; and (3) the use of the Premises as set forth in Article 7 of this Lease; and (4) the reorganized debtor or assignee of such debtor in possession or of Tenant’s trustee demonstrates in writing that it has sufficient background including, but not limited to financial ability and experience to operate in the manner contemplated in this Lease and meets any other reasonable criteria of Landlord as did Tenant upon execution of this Lease; and (5) the prior written consent of any mortgagee to which this Lease has been assigned as collateral security; and (6) the Premises, at all times, remains a single location and no physical changes of any kind may be made to the Premises unless in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Lease.

19.3 Default by Landlord. In the event Landlord shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or observed within thirty (30) days after written notice of default or if more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord shall fail to proceed diligently to cure such default after written notice, then in that event Landlord shall be responsible to Tenant for any and all damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach. Tenant agrees, however, that any damages arising out of a money judgment against Landlord shall be satisfied only out of Landlord’s estate in the Project, or as an offset against rent and Landlord shall have no personal liability whatsoever with respect to any such judgment. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent waivable under law, any right to satisfy said money judgment against Landlord except from Landlord’s estate in the Project.

 

15


If the Premises or any part thereof are at any time subject to a first mortgage or a first deed of trust and this Lease or the rentals due from Tenant hereunder are assigned to such mortgages, trustee or beneficiary (called Assignee for purposes of this Article only) and Tenant is given written notice thereof, including the post office address of such Assignee, then Tenant shall give written notice to such Assignee, specifying the default in reasonable detail, and affording such Assignee a reasonable opportunity to make performance for and on behalf of Landlord. If and when the said Assignee has made performance on behalf of Landlord, such default shall be deemed cured.

ARTICLE 20. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

20.1 Subordination. At Landlord’s option this Lease shall be subject to the lien of any deeds of trust in any amount whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the Premises or on or against Landlord’s interest or estate therein, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. If any trustee shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its deed of trust, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of the recording thereof. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand without charge therefore, such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord, so long as such instruments provide non-disturbance language reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

20.2 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying Rent and other monetary sums due under the Lease and performing its covenants and conditions, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term, subject, however, to the terms of the Lease and of any of the aforesaid deeds of trust described above.

20.3 Attornment. In the event of foreclosure or of the exercise of the power of sale under any deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease, provided such purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Lease.

20.4 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall within ten (10) days after receipt of a request therefore from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is full force and effect and the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any), and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults, if any are claimed. Any such statement may be inclusively relied upon by a prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant, (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) that not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance. If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the project or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

20.5 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. In the event of a sale or conveyance of Landlord or Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building or the Project other than a transfer for security purposes only, Landlord shall be relieved from and after the date specified in such notice of transfer of all obligations and liabilities accruing thereafter on the part of Landlord, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord at the time of transfer in which Tenant has an interest shall be delivered to the successor of Landlord. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all Landlord’s obligations hereunder are assumed in writing by the transferee.

20.11 Binding Effect: Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all the provisions hereof are to be constructed as both covenants and conditions; subject to any provisions restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant, and subject to Section 20.5 which binds the parties hereto and inures to the benefit of their respective heirs, legal representative successors, and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

20.12 Waiver. No covenant, term, or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed and any waiver or the breach of any covenant, term, or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant, term, or condition.

17


20.13 Surrender of Premises. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of the Landlord, terminate all of any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

20.14 Holding Over. If Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall, with or without the written consent of Landlord, hold over the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, such tenancy shall be for an indefinite period of time on a month-to-month basis, which may be terminated as provided by law. During such tenancy Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord (i) Rent at the current fair market value of space in the Project, but in no event to be less than the highest rate provided for herein plus an additional amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) thereof, plus (ii) all other sums due under this Lease, and (iii) to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions as specified herein.

20.15 Signs. Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed in or upon the Premises where visible from outside the Premises, or outside the Premises or any part of any Building within the Project, any signs, notices, drapes, shutters, blinds, or displays of any type without the prior written consent of Landlord and the approval of various city agencies including the Landmark’s Preservation Commission where applicable.

20.16 Reasonable Consent. Except as limited elsewhere in this Lease, wherever in this Lease, Landlord or Tenant is required to give its consent or approval to any action on the part of the other, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of failure to give any such consent, the other party shall be entitled to specific performance at law and shall have such other remedies as are reserved to it under this Lease, but in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be responsible in monetary damages for failure to give consent unless said failure is withheld maliciously or in bad faith.

20.17 Interest on Past Due Obligations. Except as expressly provided, herein, any overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date until the sum has been paid. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

20.18 Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, and such recordation shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a non-curable default or Tenant hereunder. Either party shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.

20.19 Notice. Wherever in this Lease it shall be required that notice or demand be given or served by either party to this Lease to or on the other, such notice or demand shall be given or served, and shall not be deemed to have been duly given or served unless in writing and forwarded by certified or registered mail, addressed to the addressees of the parties specified in Article 1 hereto.

EXHIBIT A


FIRST ADDENDUM TO LEASE AGREEMENT

The following paragraphs are added to and become a part of that Lease Agreement dated February 9,1996 by and between Hawthorne/Stone Property Management Inc., and PowerLight Corporation, for those Premises at 2954 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley, California.

The subject parties hereto hereby agree to amend the subject Lease as follows:

ARTICLE 21. IMPROVEMENTS TO PREMISES

Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in an “as is” condition except for the following improvements which the Landlord agrees to provide at his expense (detailed on attached Plan, exhibit B).

Provide adequate electrical outlets and power throughout the space.

Provide two overhead space heaters.

Build an eight foot high wall running east to west through the space as per Tenants plan. The wall will be finished on the office side but not drywalled on the side of the fabrication area.

Install two new entrance doors, one with glass panel and one interior office door to connect the office area and fabrication area.

Install plumbing and sink in fabrication area.

Demolition of existing private offices

ARTICLE 22. TENANT’S GUARANTEE OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Tenant hereby acknowledges that their fabrication process of their products causes a degree of noise, smell and smoke that may be offensive to other Tenants in the building and cause them to lose their implied rights of quiet enjoyment of their Premises. In the event that this happens it is a condition of this Lease agreement that Tenant shall take whatever steps necessary to mitigate the problem. Those steps may include but not be limited to installing an exhaust system, changing the floor plan or doing production work on off hours. Pursuant to this, both parties hereby agree to install insulation in the demising wall when the contigous space is leased. The cost of the insulation to be shared  2/3 to Landlord and  1/3 to Tenant. Whatever the necessary solution, it is agreed by both parties that Tenant must resolve this issue in a timely manner if it becomes a problem or Landlord has the right to take one of the following steps.

1. Do the work and bill Tenant for cost. If this transpires then Landlord will present Tenant with an invoice for the work done and Tenant will have thirty (30) days to reimburse Landlord for at least 50% of the cost, with the remainder being amortized over the remaining Lease term. Any failure to do so will be considered a material default of the Lease and subject to the same terms and conditions as a failure to pay rent (Article 19.)

2. Terminate the remainder of Tenant’s Lease with a written sixty (60) day notice. If this transpires then Tenant will be responsible for the amortizated repayment of the cost of Tenant’s Improvements to occupy the Premises, using $30,000 as the total cost of those improvements and subtracting from that the total of monthly rent paid by Tenant. Landlord has the right to apply Tenant’s security deposit to that amortized total owed.

Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in an “as is” condition.

ARTICLE 25. EARLY TERMINATION OF LEASE TERM

Both Landlord and Tenant recognize the possibility that Tenant’s business growth may create a scenario in which Tenant may have to seek larger Premises for their business before the term of this Lease Agreement has expired. In that situation Tenant may need to explore the possibility of an early termination of this Lease Agreement and to vacate the Premises before the expiration of the Lease term. Although it is always Landlord initial preference to try to re-lease the Premises to a new Tenant or if not possible to work with Tenant to sub-lease the Premises, in the event that neither scenario can be accomplished then Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to have the right to an early termination of this Lease Agreement under the following terms and conditions.

1. Provided that Tenant not be in default of any terms or conditions of the Lease Agreement then Tenant can at anytime after 33 months of the Lease term has expired send Landlord a 3 month written notice of his intention to vacate the Premises and seek an early termination of the Lease Agreement after a minimum tenancy of 36 months known herein to be March 1, 2003.

2. Tenant must pay a sum of $36,000.00 to Landlord if he chooses to terminate the Lease Agreement as of March 1, 2003 or One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) less each and every month thereafter through the life of the term in order to terminate the Lease Agreement before it’s original expiration date. For example if Tenant wishes to seek to terminate this Lease agreement as of March 1, 2004 he would be responsible for a $24,000.00 payment to Landlord. It is understood that Tenant is responsible for his rent throughout this early termination notice period throughout his tenancy and this buyout payment due is in addition to Tenant’s regular monthly rent.


3. Payment must be made as follows: Tenant to pay Landlord a third of the required amount at the time that his three month written notice is sent. Tenant to then pay Landlord another third of the amount thirty days later and the final third of the payment is due in another thirty days. Payment must be sent to Landlord’s office the same address that Tenant sends their monthly rent to. Within ten days of Tenant’s vacating the Premises in a clean and orderly manner Landlord will refund Tenant’s security deposit and give Tenant a written release of the Lease Agreement at that time as well.

ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LEASE AGREEMENT SHALL REMAIN THE SAME.
