Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3 Terms and Conditions of Assignment. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
assignment shill release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the
primary liability of Lessee to pay the Base Rent and Leased, Share of Operating
Expenses, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee
hereunder. Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee pending

disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of rent shall constitute a
waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of
any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease. Consent to
one assignment shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment. In the
event of default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee.

modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee,

a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a
sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligation, to such sublessee under such
sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and direct, any such sublessee,
upon receipt of written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in the

claim against such sublessee or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said
sublessee to Lessor.

a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have
assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein
to be performed by Lessee, other then such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has
expressly consented in writing.

third parties, then a sublease and Lessor's consent thereto, shall not be
effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease and
the terms thereof.

from its obligations or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent
and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Lessee to be performed
under this Lease,
(e) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any assignment or
subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent
sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications
thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease
and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not relieve such
persons from liability.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any guarantor, or any one else responsible for the
performance of this Lease, including the sublease, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option arid without any obligation
to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under
such sublease.

also require the consent of Lessor.
(i) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(j) Lessor's written consent to any subletting of the Premises by Lessee
shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this
Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise stated
by Lessor at the time.
(k) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented, Lessor
agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the sublessee.
Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within 10 days
after service of said notice of default upon such sublessee, and the sublessee
shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any
such defaults cured by the sublessee.

Premises or requests the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if

failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a

to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b)
above, where such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written
notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's noncompliance is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee
commenced such cure within said 30-day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such 30-day
notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be given so
Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainee statutes.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case
of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii)

of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within 30 days. In the event that any provision of

be of no three or effect.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor
by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any successor in
interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Leased, obligation hereunder, was
materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default by Lessee, Lessor
may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without
limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by
reason of such default:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease sad the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee
shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event
Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor
by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease shall
continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.

the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premise, are located.
Unpaid installment of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under
the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum
rate then allowable by law.
13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor falls
to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no
event later than 30 days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the
holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name
and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing,
specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than 30
days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor
commences performance within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Leases hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses or other sums due
hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the
exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Property. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent,
Operating Expenses, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by
Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due,
then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby
agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such
late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute e waiver of Lessee's default
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge
is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of any of the aforesaid monetary obligations of Lessee, then Base
Rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather
than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease
to the contrary.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Industrial
Center are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of
the floor area of the Premises, or more than 25% of that portion of the Common
Ferndale Industrial Park - Standard Industrial Lease - Multi Tenant
Page 10
Areas designated parking for the Industrial Center is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10)
days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in
the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the premises remaining, except that the rent shall be
reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the
total floor area of the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur if the only
area taken is that which does not have the Premises located thereon. Any award
for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent
domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be
the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for
diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as
severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any award
for loss or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and removable personal property.
In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation,
Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection
with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by
the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such
severance damages required to complete such repair.

effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying

which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the pert of the requesting party, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon
by any prospective purchaser or encumbrance of the Premises or of the business
of the requesting party.
(b) At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
statement within such times shall be a material default of this Lease by the
party who is to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall
be conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance, and (iii)
if Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one month's rent has been paid
in advance.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Property, or
any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser
designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably
required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past
three (3) years' financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements
shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall
be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
16. Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only the
owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Industrial Center, and except as expressly
provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or
interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the
grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all

that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.

as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.
17. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
18. Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not
excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that
interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any
amount upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
19. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to
be performed under this Lease.

attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein

written demand shall constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder without
further notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall execute such
documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby
make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and

mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing

of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

or under the Property or in the groundwater under the Property and the migration
or transportation of hazardous materials to or from the Property or the

permit any person, including its subtenants, contractors, agents, or invitees to

dispose of Hazardous Material, in, on, or about the Property or transport
Hazardous Materials from the Property unless the Lessee shall have received the
Lessor's prior written consent therefore, which the Lessor may withhold or
revoke at any time in its reasonable discretion and shall not cause or permit
the release or disposal of Hazardous Materials. The Lessee shall promptly
deliver written notice to the Lessor if it obtains knowledge sufficient to infer
that Hazardous Materials are located on the Property that are not in compliance
with applicable Environmental Laws or if any third party, including, without
limitation, any governmental agency, claims a significant disposal of Hazardous
Materials occurred on the Property or is being or has been released from the
Property, or any such party gives notice of its intention to declare the
Property to be Border Zone Property (as defined in section 25117.4 of the
California Health and Safety Code). Upon reasonable written request of the
Lessor, the Lessee, through its professional engineers and at its cost, shall
thoroughly investigate suspected Hazardous Materials contamination of the
Property. The Lessee, using duly licensed and insured contractors, shall
promptly commence and diligently complete the removal, repair, clean-up, and
detoxification of any Hazardous Materials from the Property as may be required
by applicable Environmental Laws.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, nothing herein
shall prevent the Lessee from using materials other than Hazardous Materials on
the Premises as would be used in the ordinary course of the Lessee's business as
contemplated by this Lease. The Lesser does not in the course of the Lessee's
current business use Hazardous Materials. If during the term of this Lease, the
Lessee contemplates utilizing such materials (or subleases/assigns this Lease to
a subtenant or assignee who utilizes Hazardous Materials), the Lessee shall
obtain prior written approval from the Lessor which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Lessor, at its option, and at the Lessees expense,
may cause an engineer selected by the Lessor, to review (a) the Lessee's
operations including materials used, generated, stored, disposed, and
manufactured in the Lessee's business and (b) the Lessees compliance with terms
of this paragraph. The Lessee shall provide the engineer with such information
reasonably requested by the engineer to complete the review. The first such
review may occur prior to or shortly following commencement of the term or this

year unless cause exists for some other review schedule. One-half (1/2) of the
fees and costs of the engineer shall be paid promptly by the Lessee to the
Lessor upon receipt of written notice of such fees and costs.

fractions, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, transformers containing levels of
polychlorinated biphenyls greater than 50 parts per million, and chemicals known

waste or hazardous substance in any such statute, ordinance, rule, or
regulation.

or otherwise, yield up immediate possession to Lessor. If Lessor agrees in
writing that Lessee may hold over after the expiration or termination of this
Lease, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing on the terms of such
holding over, the hold over tenancy shall be subject to termination by Lessor at
any time upon not less than five (5) days, advance written notice, or by Lessee
as any time upon not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice, and all
of the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during that
period, except that Lessee shall pay Lessor from time to time upon demand, as
rental for the period of any hold over, an amount equal to one and one-half
(1-1/2) the Base Rent in effect on the termination date, plus all additional
rental as defined herein, computed on a daily basis for each day of the hold
over period. No holding over by, whether with or without consent of Lessor,
shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided. The
preceding provisions of this paragraph 47 shall not be construed as Lessor's
consent for Lessee to hold over.
48. Construction Requirements. Any work performed at the Building or on the
Premises by Lessee or Lessee's contractor in connection with improvements shall
be subject to the following additional requirements: (a) Such work shall not
proceed until Lessor has approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) in wilting: 1) Lessee's contractor, 2) the amount and
coverage of public liability and property damage insurance, with Lessor named as
an additional insured, carried by Lessee's contractor, 3) complete and detailed
plans and specifications for such work, and 4) a schedule for the work. (b) All
work shall be done in conformity with a valid permit when required, a copy of
which shall be furnished to Lessor before such work is commenced. In any case,
all such work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws.
Notwithstanding any failure by Lessor to object to any such work, Lessor shall
have no responsibility for Lessee's failure to comply with applicable laws.
49. Option to Extend Term. If Lessee is not in default of Lease terms, then
Lessee shall have a one time option to extend the terms hereof for an additional
period of three (3) years which said option shall be exercised by giving written
notice to Landlord not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
termination of the original terms hereof. Upon the exercise of said option by
Lessee, the term of this Lease shall be extended for the additional period of
three (3) years upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein
contained; provided, however, that the monthly rental due and payable hereunder
shall be at the then prevailing market rates.
