lease, the rent received from the reletting is less than the rent due on that
date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to the remaining rent due, all
costs, including for maintenance, Landlord incurred in reletting that remain

paragraph.
(b) Landlord can terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant
shall terminate this lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the premises,
or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's
interest under this lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant all
damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including (i) the
worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the
time of termination of the lease; (ii) the worth, at the time of the award, of
the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date
of termination of this lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the
loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the
worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of
rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other
amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's default. "The worth, at the time of the award,"
as usual in subparts (i) and (ii) above, is to be computed by allowing interest
at the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge. "The worth, at
the time of the award," as used in subpart (iii) above, is to be computed by
discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%.
(c) If Tenant is in default of this lease Landlord shall have the
right to have a receiver appointed to collect rent and conduct Tenant's
business. Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor
the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Land lord to terminate
this lease.
(d) Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, can cure
the default at Tenant's cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant's
default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the
sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the
time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the
maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge from the date the sum
is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together
with interest on it, shall be additional rent.
16.3 Interest on Unpaid Rent. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest
from the date due until paid at the rate of 10% per annum; provided, however,
that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant nor on any
amounts upon which late charges are paid by Tenant.
16.4 Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by the
lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and
accounting charges. Therefore, if any installment of rent due from Tenant is not
received by Landlord within ten (10) days after it is due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of the overdue rent as a late
charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by
Tenant.
16.5 Returned Checks. If any check of Tenant is returned for insufficient
funds, Tenant shall pay Landlord a $50.00 processing charge, in addition to
payment of the amount due plus applicable interest and late charges; provided,
however, this provision is not intended to relieve Tenant from any default in
the making of any payment at the time and in the manner herein specified. If
more than one check of Tenant is returned for insufficient funds, Landlord may
require, upon service of 30 days' written notice, that all future rent be paid
by cashiers check, certified check or money order.
17. SIGNS
Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed any sign, marquee or awning
on the front of said premises without the written consent of Landlord. Tenant,
upon request of Landlord, shall immediately remove any unapproved sign or
decoration which Tenant has placed or permitted to be placed in, on, or about
the front of the premises which, in is objectionable or offensive, and if Tenant
fails so to do, Landlord may enter said premises and remove the same. Tenant is
required to place signage on the premises. Landlord has reserved the exclusive
right to the exterior sidewalks, rear wall and roof of said premises, and Tenant
shall not place or permit to be placed upon said sidewalks, rear wall or roof,
any sign, advertisement or notice without the written consent of Landlord.
In order to keep a continuity of appearance of the buildings, signage will
be limited to a size and type specified by the Landlord. The approved types of
signs consist of raised-cutout plastic covered foam letters on building and
laminate letter inserts on pole sighs. Within 90 days of lease commencement,
Tenant shall have presented sign sketch and layout for Landlord approval, as
well as coordinated the placement and full completion of the approved signage.
All signage requires prior written approval of the copy. Size and color by the
Landlord. Tenant is responsible for the removal of signage upon vacating the
premises.

any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or
any other provision. Landlord's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be
deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or approval
of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord
shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision hereof,
other that the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of rent, and such acceptance does not relieve Tenant's liability for
any late charge due on such rent payment accepted by Landlord.
