TERM. 3.1 TERM. The term of this Sublease shall be for two (2) years, seven (7) months commencing on December 1, 2002 and ending on June 30, 2005 unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof. 3.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Sublessor agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises by the commencement date. If, despite said efforts, Sublessor is unable to deliver possession as agreed, Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Sublease. Sublessee shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until it receives possession of the Premises. If possession is not delivered within sixty days after the commencement date, Sublessee may, at its option, by notice in writing within ten days after the end of such sixty day period, cancel this Sublease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder, If such written notice is not received by Sublessor within said ten day period, Sublessee's right to cancel shall terminate. Except as otherwise provided, if possession is not tendered to Sublessee when required and Sublessee does not terminate this Sublease, as aforesaid, any period of rent abatement that Sublessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to what Sublessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Sublessee. If possession is not delivered within 120 days after the commencement date, this Sublease shall automatically terminate unless the Parties agree, in writing, to the contrary. 4. RENT. 4.1 BASE RENT. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as Base Rent for the Premises equal monthly payments of $8,333.33 in advance, on the 1st day of each month of the term hereof. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor upon the execution hereof $8,333.33 as Base Rent for December 1, 2002 (See also addendum section 14). Base Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment. 4.2 RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Sublessee to Sublessor under the terms of this Sublease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent ("RENT"). Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublessor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublessor may designate in writing. 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon execution hereof $25,000.00 as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of Sublessee's obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Sublessor may become obligated by reason of Sublessee's default, or to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which Sublessor may suffer thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Sublessee shall within ten days after written demand therefore forward to Sublessor an amount sufficient to restore said Deposit to the full amount provided for herein and Sublessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not be required to keep said Deposit separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs all of Sublessee's obligations hereunder, said Deposit, or so much thereof as has not therefore been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of Interest to Sublessee (or at Sublessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect to said Security Deposit. 6. USE. 6.1 AGREED USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for general office use and for no other purpose. 6.2 COMPLIANCE. Sublessor warrants that the improvements on the Premises comply with all applicable covenants or restrictions of record and applicable building codes, regulations and ordinances ("APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS") in effect on the commencement date. Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Sublessee will put the Premises or to any alterations or utility installations made or to be made by Sublessee. NOTE: Sublessee is responsible for determining whether or not the zoning is appropriate for its intended use, and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be allowed. If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Sublessor shall, except as otherwise provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from Sublessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Sublessor's expense. If Sublessee does not give Sublessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within six months following the commencement date, correction of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Sublessee at its sole cost and expense. If the Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during the term of this Sublease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other physical modification of the Building ("CAPITAL EXPENDITURE"), Sublessor and Sublessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows: (a) If such Capital Expenditures are required as a result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Sublessee as compared with uses by tenants in general, Sublessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof provided, however, that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last two years of this Sublease and the cost thereof exceeds six months' Base Rent, Sublessee may instead terminate this Sublease unless Sublessor notifies Sublessee in writing, within ten days after receipt of Sublessees's termination notice that Sublessor has elected to pay the difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to six months' Base Rent. If the Parties elect termination, Sublessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Sublessor written notice specifying a termination date at least ninety days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier then the last day that Sublessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital Expenditure. Page 1 of 4 (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Sublessee (such as governmentally mandated seismic modifications, then Sublessor shall pay for said Capital Expenditure and the cost thereof shall be prorated between the Sublessor and Sublessee and Sublessee shall only be obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the term of this Sublease, on the date on which Rent is due, an amount equal to the product of multiplying the cost of such Capital Expenditure by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the number of months of the useful life of such Capital Expenditure as such useful life is specified pursuant to Federal income tax regulations or guidelines for depreciation thereof (including interest on the unamortized balance as is then commercially reasonable in the judgment of Sublessor's accountant), with Sublessee reserving the right to prepay its obligation at any time. Provided, however, that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last two years of this Sublease or if Sublessor reasonably determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Sublessor shall have the option to terminate this Sublease upon ninety days prior written notice to Sublessee unless Sublessee notifies Sublessor, in writing, within ten days alter receipt of Sublessor's termination notice that Sublessee will pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Sublessor does not elect to terminate, and fails to tender its share of any such Capital Expenditure, Sublessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with interest, from Rent until Sublessor's share of such costs have been fully paid. If Sublessee is unable to finance Sublessor's share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this Sublease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Sublessee on an offset basis, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease upon ten days written notice to Sublessor. (c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead triggered by Sublessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change In intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event, Sublessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, and Sublessee shall not have any right to terminate this Sublease. 6.3 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND LESSEE. Sublessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with Applicable Requirements), and their suitability for Sublessee's intended use, (b) Sublessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the Premises, and (c) neither Sublessor, Sublessor's agents, nor any Broker has made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this Sublease. In addition, Sublessor acknowledges that: (a) Broker has made no representations, promises or warranties concerning Sublessee's ability to honor the Sublease or suitability to occupy the Premises, and (b) it is Sublessor's sole responsibility to investigate the financial capability and/or suitability of all proposed tenants. 7.
