     If the LESSOR is unable to deliver possession of the PREMISES at the time herein agreed, then the LESSOR shall not be liable for any damage caused thereby nor shall this Sub-Lease be void or voidable, but the LESSEE shall not be liable for any rent until such time as the LESSOR delivers possession.

1. TERM: Subject to LESSOR executing this Sub-Lease as provided below, the Term of this Sub-Lease shall be for six (6) months commencing on the 17^th day of October, 2005, if and only if LESSOR gives Notice, as hereafter provided, to LESSEE by midnight of the third day following receipt by LESSOR of two (2) duplicate original copies of this Sub-Lease signed and dated by LESSEE for execution by LESSOR. “Notice” for this purpose shall be by delivery to LESSEE of a duplicate original copy of this Sub-Lease signed and dated by LESSOR, either at the leased PREMISES or by deposit in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to LESSEE at such other address provided to LESSOR by LESSEE at the time LESSEE delivers to LESSOR the aforementioned two (2) signed duplicate original copies of this Sub-Lease.

     Upon the ending date set forth herein or any extension thereof, the Sub-Lease herein granted shall be renewed and extended on a month-to-month basis, upon the same terms and conditions as contained herein, unless either party notifies the other in writing, as provided for in paragraph 16 of this Sub-Lease, at least thirty (30) days prior to the ending date of this Sub-Lease, or the ending of any extensions thereof, that this Sub-Lease will not be renewed. For any renewal or extension, the monthly rent shall be the current rate being charged to new lessees at that time for like space.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 1, solely in the event the Master Lease of LESSOR for the premises of which these PREMISES are a part is not renewed at its termination date, LESSOR agrees to notify LESSEE in writing thereof not later than sixty (60) days prior to the termination of the Master Lease, and the Term of this Sub-Lease shall terminate concurrent with the termination of the Master Lease. In all other respects, this Sub-Lease is not altered or modified, and the rights and obligations of LESSOR and LESSEE shall be, and shall continue during the Term, as herein provided.

2. A. RENT: LESSEE agrees to pay LESSOR, as monthly rent for the PREMISES and for the facilities and services, subject to the conditions of use, if any, described in Exhibit “A” of this Sub-Lease, the sum of One thousand seventy eight Dollars ($ 1078.00) in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during said Term. In the event the Term of this Sub-Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rental for such period shall be prorated.

     B. LESSOR DUTY OF CARE: It is expressly agreed between LESSOR and LESSEE that the duty of care of LESSOR with respect to facilities and services included in LESSEE’s rent and for which LESSOR will not bill LESSEE a charge is slight care and not ordinary care and that this is specifically the case for the availability of the space provided by LESSOR for pick up by LESSEE of mail and any packages received by LESSOR addressed to LESSEE at the PREMISES address.

     C. ADDITIONAL FACILITIES AND SERVICES AND ADDITIONAL RENT: LESSOR does, at its expense, provide additional facilities and services which are available to LESSEE, and which include, but are not limited to, telephone answering, outbound telephone services, administrative/secretarial services, word processing, photocopies, purchases of supplies, incoming and outgoing mail and package delivery services, facsimile services, storage locker rental, equipment rental, furniture rental, Internet access, and web services. These additional facilities and services are described in Exhibit “B” (“Additional Facilities and Services”) attached to and expressly made a part of this Sub-Lease by reference. LESSEE may request that LESSOR provide any of these additional facilities and services to LESSEE under this Sub-Lease, and in that event, LESSOR will bill LESSEE on a monthly basis for LESSEE’s current charge or charges for each and all of those additional facilities and services requested of LESSOR by LESSEE. All such charges for these additional facilities and services are additional rent and shall be payable in addition to the above rental on the first day of each and every calendar month during said Term.

     D. DELINQUENT PAYMENTS: LESSOR shall deliver a detailed billing on its form to LESSEE on or before the last day of each calendar month, and this billing shall include rent in advance for the upcoming month, including the facilities and services described in Exhibit “A”, and additional rent in arrears for those additional facilities and services described in Exhibit “B” and for LESSOR’s telecommunications systems/services described in paragraph 3 of this Agreement provided by LESSOR to LESSEE for the period commencing with the first day following the last day of service billed by LESSOR for the prior month and continuing through a date prior to the date of billing and the end of each calendar month. For this purpose “deliver” is defined as delivery by LESSOR to LESSEE’s mailbox at American Executive Center. All rent and additional rent remaining unpaid by LESSEE after the tenth (10^th) of the month shall be subject to a service charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the billing, payable in addition to the billing. Further, if the amount of the billing is not paid by the tenth day of the month, the amount of the billing, but not the amount of the service charge, shall bear interest at the greater of ten percent (10%) per annum or a sum equal to five percent (5%) above the rate charged by the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank to Member Banks on the 25th day of the calendar month prior to the date of delinquency as above provided for. In the event full payment for the amount of rent and additional rent billed to LESSEE is not received by LESSOR within ten (10) days after date of delinquency on the eleventh day of the following month, by written notice to LESSEE, LESSOR shall terminate all the additional facilities and services described in Exhibit “B” requested by LESSEE and covered by the terms of this Sub-Lease. In the event payment is not received, including any additional charges here provided for by the twentieth (20^th) day of each calendar month, AEC shall have the right granted by LESSEE to charge any such amounts due AEC to the credit card(s) listed by LESSEE on LESSEE’s Credit Application or known to AEC at time of such payment delinquency.

3. TELECOMMUNICATIONS PACKAGE: LESSOR will furnish LESSEE with a telecommunications package which consists of some combination of phone lines, dedicated lines, Internet Access, voice mail, access to outgoing calling, and access to telephone numbers. All components of the package used by LESSEE will remain at all times property of the LESSOR. Upon termination of this Sub-Lease, all telephone numbers being used by LESSEE shall remain the property of LESSOR for LESSOR’s use in the future operations of its business. LESSEE expressly understands that it may not take telephone number(s) upon termination, can that LESSOR is specifically permitted to re-assign any and all telephone numbers previously used by LESSEE, at LESSOR’s sole discretion. LESSEE is not permitted to install any communication equipment, including telephone or network lines for internal or external use without prior written approval of LESSOR.

4. PERMITTED USE: Said PREMISES shall, during the Term of this Sub-Lease and any extensions thereof, be used for the following business purposes only:

     LESSEE shall not offer to other Lessees at the PREMISES any of the facilities and services or additional facilities and services which LESSOR provides to its other lessees, including, but not limited to, those facilities and services described in Exhibit “A” and additional facilities and services described in Exhibit “B”. In the event LESSEE breaches this provision, LESSOR may, at its sole option, terminate this Sub-Lease and pursue any legal remedies available to LESSOR.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT: LESSEE has deposited with LESSOR the sum of One thousand seventy eight Dollars ($ 1078.00). Said sum shall be held by LESSOR as security for the faithful performance by LESSEE of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sub-Lease during the Term hereof. If LESSEE defaults with respect to any provision of this Sub-Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent and additional rent, LESSOR may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any rent, additional rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which LESSOR may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of LESSEE’s default, or to compensate LESSOR for any loss or damage which LESSOR may suffer by reason of LESSEE’s default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, LESSEE shall, upon demand therefor, deposit cash with LESSOR in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount, and LESSEE’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sub-Lease.

     Any time the rent payable by LESSEE to LESSOR increases during the Term of this Sub-Lease and any renewal, LESSEE shall, upon written request from LESSOR, deposit additional monies with LESSOR sufficient to maintain the same ratio between the security deposit and the rent as those amounts are specified in the Sub-Lease for the beginning of the Term.

     LESSOR shall not be required to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds, and LESSEE shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If LESSEE shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Sub-Lease, the security deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to LESSEE (or, at LESSOR’s option, to the last assignee of LESSEE’s interest hereunder) within forty-five (45) days after termination of this Sub-Lease provided all sums payable by LESSEE to LESSOR have been paid in full, including payment to LESSOR of the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) for each key to the PREMISES not returned to LESSOR by LESSEE by the termination date of this Sub-Lease.

in which event LESSOR shall be entitled to enforce all its rights and remedies under this Sub-Lease, including the right to recover the rents and other obligations, if any, of LESSEE specified in this Sub-Lease as they become due under this Sub-Lease; or (b) terminate this Sub-Lease and recover from LESSEE (i) The worth, at the time of award, of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination of the Sub-Lease; (ii) The worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination of the Sub-Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss that LESSEE proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) The worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term of this Sub-Lease after the time of the award exceeds the amount of rental loss that LESSEE proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate LESSOR for all detriment approximately caused by LESSEE’s failure to perform his obligations under this Sub-Lease.

The waiver by LESSOR of any breach by LESSEE of any of the provisions of this Sub-Lease shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any subsequent breach by LESSEE either of the same or another provision of this Sub-Lease.

EMPLOYEES OF LESSOR: LESSEE agrees not to offer or have offered employment to any employees, or to employ any employees of the LESSOR during the LESSEE’s stay within the PREMISES or for a period of six (6) months following the termination of this Sub-Lease. LESSOR and LESSEE agree that the damages to LESSOR that would result from a breach of this provision by LESSEE cannot reasonably be determined at the time of entering into this Sub-Lease and, therefore, that LESSOR shall be entitled to payment of the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) from LESSEE as liquidated damages, in accordance with the provisions of the California Civil Code, with respect to each such breach. It is also agreed that LESSOR shall be entitled to injunctive relief against LESSEE in the event of any such breach or allegation thereof, including an ex parte application and issuance of injunction.

23. ATTORNEY’S FEES: If LESSOR incurs any legal fees for services provided by an attorney consulted by LESSOR with respect to any breach or alleged breach by LESSEE of this Sub-Lease, to recover rent, additional rent, or other sums due, to terminate the tenancy of the PREMISES or to enforce, protect or establish any term, condition or covenant of this Sub-Lease, LESSEE shall be obligated to reimburse LESSOR the full amounts thereof within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of a written demand from LESSOR which shall itemize the sums expended by LESSOR and repayable to LESSOR by LESSEE.

     Should any litigation, arbitration or mediation be commenced between the parties to this Sub-Lease concerning the PREMISES, this Sub-Lease or the rights and duties of either in relation thereto, the party, LESSOR or LESSEE, prevailing in said litigation, arbitration or mediation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as maybe granted in the litigation, arbitration or mediation, to a reasonable sum as and for his/its attorneys fees in such litigation, arbitration or mediation, which shall be determined by the Court in such litigation, arbitration or mediation, or in a separate action brought for determining such sum.

24. PARTIAL INVALIDITY: Should any provision of this Sub-Lease be held by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be either invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Sub-Lease shall remain in full force and effect, unimpaired by the holding.

25. SOLE AND ONLY AGREEMENT: This instrument, together with any addenda thereto, constitutes the sole and only agreement between LESSOR and LESSEE respecting the PREMISES, and correctly sets forth the obligations of LESSOR and LESSEE to each other as of this date. Any agreements or representations respecting the PREMISES, or their leasing by LESSOR to LESSEE, not expressly set forth in this instrument are null and void.
