all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after
written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to

warehousing for educational sales company as approved by the City of Irvine or
any other use which is reasonably comparable and for no other purpose.
6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in its state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to the
use for which Lessee will use the
2
Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record, or any
applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term
commencement date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has been
violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice
from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such
violation. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor written notice of the
violation of this warranty within six months from the date that the Lease term
commences, the correction of same shall be the obligation of the Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2(a) shall be of
no force or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was the owner or
occupant of the Premises, and, in such event, Lessee shall correct any such
violation at Lessee's sole cost.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at Lessee's
expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements in
effect during the term or any part of the term hereof, regulating the use by
Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall not use nor permit the use of the Premises
in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance or, if there shall be
more than one tenant in the building containing the Premises, shall tend to
disturb such other tenants.
6.3 CONDITION OF PREMISES.
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free of
debris on Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in possession) and
Lessor further warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air conditioning,
heating, and loading doors in the Premises shall be in good operating condition
on the Lease commencement date. In the event that it is determined that this
warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Lessor, after
receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature
of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost, rectify such violation.
Lessee's failure to give such written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days
after the Lease commencement date shall cause the conclusive presumption that
Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's obligations hereunder. The warranty
contained in this paragraph 6.3(a) shall be of no force or effect if prior to
the date of this Lease, Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts
the Premises in their condition existing as of the Lease commencement date or
the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is earlier,
subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances
and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and any
covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto and
to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee

require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost

in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. The policy shall insure

per occurrence.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to

to the rent, the amount of any increase in premiums for the insurance required
under Paragraphs 8.2 and 8.3 over and above such premiums paid during the Base

result of the nature of Lessee's occupancy, any act or omission of Lessee,
requirements of the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises,
increased valuation of the Premises, or general rate increases. In the event
that the Premises have been occupied previously, the words "Base Period" shall
mean the last twelve months of the prior occupancy. In the event that the
Premises have never been previously occupied, the premiums during the "Base
Period" shall be deemed to be the lowest premiums reasonably obtainable for said
insurance assuming the most nominal use of the Premises. Provided, however, in
lieu of the Base Period, the parties may insert a dollar amount of the end of
this sentence which figure shall be considered as the insurance premium for the
Base Period: 1996 Base Year Budget. In no event, however, shall Lessee be
responsible for any portion of the premium cost attributable to liability
insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000 procured under paragraph 8.2.

days after receipt by Lessee of a copy of the premium statement or other
satisfactory evidence of the amount due. If the insurance policies maintained
hereunder cover other improvements in addition to the Premises, Lessor shall
also deliver to the Lessee a statement of the amount of such increase
attributable to the Premises and showing in reasonable detail, the manner in

concurrently with the expiration of the period covered by such insurance,
Lessee's liability for premium increases shall be prorated on an annual basis.
(c) If the Premises are part of a larger building, then Lessee shall
not be responsible for paying any increase in the property insurance premium
caused by the acts or omissions of any other tenant of the building of which the
Premises are a part.

companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as

deliver to Lessor copies of policies of liability insurance required under
Paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such
insurance. No such policy shall be cancellable or subject to reduction of
coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof,
or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which
amount shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to
be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in
Paragraph 8.3.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other
for lost or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against
under paragraphs 8.3 which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether
due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,

further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims
arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on

negligence of the Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or employees,
and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought
thereon, and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same

part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons in, upon or about the

charged, has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a
result of a transfer, either partial or total, or Lessor's interest in the
Premises or which is added to a tax or charge hereinabove included within the
definition of real property tax by reason of such transfer, or (v) which is
imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes hereto, or
any transfers hereof.
10.4. JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessees liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuations
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.
10.5. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible,
Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's paid personal property shall be assessed with
Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee
within 10 days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of
all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1. LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all of any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease.
12.2. LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or
11
entity which acquires all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the
business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee
assumes, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such
assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under
the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of
this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3. NO RELEASE OF LESSEE. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no subletting
or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter the primary
liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof.
Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. 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. Lessor may consent to subsequent
assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this
Lease with assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of
Lessee, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall
not relieve Lessee of liability under this Lease.
12.4. ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting of if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such request.
13. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.
13.1. DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one ore more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other
payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such
failure shall continue for a period of three days after written notice thereof
from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to
Pay Rent or Quite pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainers statutes such Notice
to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by this
subparagraph.
(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease 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 hereof from Lessor to
Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default 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
12
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. (S) 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the
case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days);
(iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all 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.
Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d) is
contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force 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 Lessee's obligation hereunder, and any
of them, was materially false.
13.2. REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default or breach 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 or breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease 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 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.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located. Unpaid installments 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
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust
13
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 obligations
is such that more than thirty (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. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and 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 Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other ▇▇▇ 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 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 a 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 rent, then rent shall automatically become due and
payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4
or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.
13.5. IMPOUNDS. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder,
whether or not collected for three (3) installments of rent or any other
monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required
under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the
monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance
expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this
Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment due, before deliquency,
of any or all such real property taxes and insured premiums. If the amounts
paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are insufficient
to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property taxes and
insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, upon
Lessor's demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations. All
moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys
of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the
obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining
from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the
option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in
lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance
premiums.
14
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof 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
building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the Premises
which is not occupied by any building, 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 building taken bears to the total floor
area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur
if the only area taken is that which does not have a building 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 of 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.
15. BROKER'S FEE.
(a) Upon execution of this Lease by both parties. Lessor shall pay
to NA Licensed real estate broker(s), a fee as set forth in a separate
--
agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), or in the event there is no
separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), the sum of $ per
---
agreement, for brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this
transaction.
(b) Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercised any Option as
defined in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under this
Lease, Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule or
said broker(s) in effect at the time of execution of this Lease.
(c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of any person,
corporation, association, or other entity having an ownership interest in said
real property or any party thereof, when such fee is due hereunder. Any
transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by
agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's
obligation under this Paragraph 15. Said broker shall be a third party
beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 15.
15
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than (10) days' prior
written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor 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 in 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 Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of the Premises.
(b) At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such statement
within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be conclusive
upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and (iii) that not more than one
month's rent has been paid in advance or such failure may be considered by
Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, 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 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.
17. 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 Premises, 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 liability as respects Lessor's
obligations thereafter to be performed, provided 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. The obligations contained in this
Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on
Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of
ownership.
18. 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.
19. 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
amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence.
21. ADDITIONAL RENT. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.
22. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
agreements or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.
This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in Paragraph 15
hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any
employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written
warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by
Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all
responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and
adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws
and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise
specifically stated in this Lease.
16
23. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and if given
personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective parties,
as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different
address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the
Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A
copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall
be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of any act,
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of a any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder
by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any
provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so
accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time
of acceptance of such rent.
25. RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.
26. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of
the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all options and rights of
first refusal, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed
terminated and be of no further effect during said month to month tenancy.
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by
Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of Paragraph
17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
wherein the Premises are located.
30. SUBORDINATION.
(a) This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security
now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part
and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not
17
be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the
rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this
Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee
or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof
to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed to prior to such mortgage, deed of trust,
or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of
said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure
to execute such documents within 10 days after written demand shall constitute a
material default by Lessee hereunder, 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 in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such
documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).
31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party or the broker named herein brings an
action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing
party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to this
reasonable attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court.
The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker named
herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter
the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale"
signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof
place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent except that Lessee shall have the right, without the prior
permission of Lessor to place ordinary and usual for rent or sublet signs
thereon.
35. MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
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
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
36. CONSENTS. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party, such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
37. GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Premises.
39. OPTIONS.

are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
39.3. MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple options
to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless the
prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.
39.4. EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during

pursuant to paragraph 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the default
alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time

a late charge becomes payable under paragraph 13.4 for each of such defaults, or

period prior to the time that Lessee intends to exercise the subject Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised

larger building or group of buildings then Lessee agrees that it will abide by,
keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may take from
time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the building
and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein
as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building.
The violations of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material
breach of this Lease by Lessee.
41. SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.

ANNUAL RENT ADJUSTMENT
----------------------
The minimum annual rent and security deposit set forth in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of
this Lease shall be subject to an upward adjustment at the end of each ONE-(1)
YEAR PERIOD of the lease term, including option periods, if any. The first
adjustment shall take effect beginning with the first of the month following one

the first day of the month, then the adjustment shall take effect one (1) year
thereafter. The new rent for each twelve (12) month period shall be determined
by adding to the annual rental for the previous twelve (12) months a sum equal
to any percentage increase that may occur in the Consumer Price Index (all
items) as published by the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside Metropolitan Area (1967-100
Base). If such index is not published for the period for which a rental
adjustment determination is to be based upon, another index generally recognized

payment and security deposit shall be appropriately adjusted so as to include
