is made by and between Hamann-Chambers-Rumsey-Burns, a California General
Partnership (hereinafter called "Lessor") and Apollo Golf, Inc., a New Jersey
Corporation (herein called "Lessee").
2. Premises. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for
the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that
certain real property situated in the county of San Diego, State of California,
commonly known as 932 Feslar Street, El Cajon, CA 92020 and described as
approximately 6,480 square feet of warehouse and office area.
Said real property including the land and all improvements therein, is herein
called "the Premises".
3. Term.
3.1 Term. The term of this lease shall be for sixty (60) consecutive
months commencing on January 1, 1994* and ending on December 31, 1998 unless
sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof. *Commencement of Lease shall
adjust to completion of tenant improvements identified in Exhibit "A".
Completion shall be at receipt of certificate of occupancy issued by the City of
El Cajon. If commencement extends beyond 60 days after receipt of executed
lease for any reason not the fault of Lessee, Lessee may cancel this Lease.
3.2 Delay in Possession. Notwithstanding said commencement date, if for
any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on said
date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such
failure affect the validity of this lease or the obligations of Lessee hereunder
or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not be obligated to
pay rent until possession of the Premises is tenured to Lessee; provided,
however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered possession of the Premises
within sixty (60) days from said commencement date, Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel
this Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder; provided further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee is
not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel
this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
3.3 Early Possession. If Lessee occupies the Premises prior to said
commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions hereof,
such occupancy shall not advance the termination date, and Lessee shall pay rent
for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth below.
4. Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises, monthly payments
of $2,900.00, in advance, on the first day of each month of the term hereof.
Lessee shall pay Lessor upon the execution hereof $2,900.00 as rent for the
first month of the Lease. Rent shall be abated month two (2) of the Lease.
Months one (1) through thirty (30) rent will be $2,900 per month, months thirty-
one (31) through sixty (60) rent will be $3,075 per month. 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. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of
the United States to Lessor at the address stated herein or to such other
persons or at such other places as Lessor may designate in writing.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
$2,900.00 as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations
hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or
otherwise defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, Lessor 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 Lessor
may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for
any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or
applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days
after written demand therefore deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient
to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated and Lessee's
failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. If the monthly rent
shall, from time to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall
thereupon deposit with Lessor additional security deposit so that the amount of
security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the same proportion to
current rent as the original security deposit bears to the originally monthly
rent set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Lessor shall not be required to keep said
deposit separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore
been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for it use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.
6. Use.
6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for distribution
and cosmetic work (silk screening) of golf shafts, painting and all activity for
the business to be conducted 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 of which Lessee will use the Premises, does not violate any covenants or
restrictions of record, or any applicable building, health, safety,
environmental, pollution, disability, handicap and other law, and code
regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term commencing 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
<PAGE>
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 the 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
acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business.
7. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.
7.1 Lessor's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7.2
and 9 and except for damage caused by any negligent or intentional act or
omission of Lessee, Lessee's agents, employees, or invitees in which event
Lessee shall repair the damage, Lessor, at Lessor's expense, shall keep in good
order, condition and repair the foundations, exterior walls and the exterior
roof of the Premises. Lessor shall not, however, be obligated to paint such
exterior, nor shall Lessor be required to maintain the interior surface of
exterior walls, windows, doors or plate glass. Lessor shall have no obligation
to make repairs under this Paragraph 7.1 until a reasonable time after receipt
of written notice of the need for such repairs. Lessee expressly waives the
benefits of any statute new or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford
Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease
because of Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and
repair. Lessee shall have the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense after
notice and a reasonable time, not exceeding 30 days to cure or commence a cure.
7.2 Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7.1 and 9, Lessee, at
Lessee's expense, shall keep in good order, condition and repair the Premises
and every part thereof (whether or not the damaged portion of the Premises or
the means of repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee)
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing,
heating, air conditioning, (Lessee shall procure and maintain, at Lessee's
expense, an air conditioning system maintenance contract) ventilating,
electrical and lighting facilities and equipment within the Premises, fixtures,
interior walls and interior surface of exterior walls, ceilings, windows, doors,
plate glass, and skylights, located within the Premises.
(b) If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this
Paragraph 7.2 or under any other paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may at Lessor's
option enter upon the Premises after 10 days' prior written notice to Lessee
(except in the case of emergency, in which case no notice shall be required),
perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in good order,
condition and repair, and the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at
the maximum rate then allowable by law shall be due and payable as additional
rent to Lessor together with Lessee's next rental installment.
(c) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination,
Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition as received,
ordinary wear and tear except, clean and free of debris. Lessee shall repair
any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of its
trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power
panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters, air
conditioning, plumbing and fencing on the premises in good operating condition.
7.3 Alterations and Additions.
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent make any
alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations in, on or about
the Premises, except for nonstructural alterations not exceeding $2,500 in
cumulative costs during the term of this Lease. In any event, whether or not in
excess of $2,500 in cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or alteration
to the exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the building(s) on the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in this Paragraph .3
the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window coverings, air
lines, power poles, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space
heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may require that
Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or
Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore the Premises to
their prior condition. Lessor may 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 of such improvements, to insure Lessor against
any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of
the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements, additions or
Utility Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, Lessor may require
that Lessee remove any or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
in, on or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and which requires
the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with
proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent, the consent shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from appropriate
governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the
commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all conditions of said
permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished or alleged to have been furnished to
or for Lessee at or for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be
<PAGE>
secured by any mechanics' or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any
interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice
prior to the commencement of the work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by
law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien,
claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor
against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be
rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the
Premises, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish
to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such
contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In
addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in
participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest
to do so.
(d) Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in Paragraph
7.3(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee),
which may be made on the Premises, shall become the property of Lessor and
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the term.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7.3(d), Lessee's machinery and
equipment, other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be
removed without material damage to the Premises, shall remain the property of
Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of Paragraph
7.2(c).
8. Insurance; Indemnity.
8.1 Liability Insurance - Lessee. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense,
obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined
Single Limited Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance insuring Lessee and
Lessor against any liability arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of
the Premises and all other areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be
in an amount not less than $500,000 per occurrence. The policy shall insure
performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this Paragraph 8. The
limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee
hereunder.
8.2 Liability Insurance; Lessor. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury
and Property Damage Insurance, insuring Lessor, but not Lessee, against any
liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto in an amount not less than $500,000
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
the Premises, but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements in an
amount not to exceed the full replacement value thereof, as the same may exist
from time to time, providing protection against all perils included within the
classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood
(in the event same is required by a lender having a lien on the Premises)
special extended perils ("all risk", as such term is used in the insurance
industry) but not plate glass insurance. In addition, the Lessor shall obtain
and keep in force, during the term of this Lease, a policy of rental value
insurance covering a period of one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which
insurance shall also cover all real estate taxes and insurance costs for said
period.
8.4 Payment of Premium Increase.
(a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor, during the term hereof, in addition to the
rent, the amount of any increase in premiums for the insurance required under
Paragraph 8.2 and 8.3 over and above such premiums paid during the Base Period,
as hereinafter defined, whether such premium increase shall be the 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 at the end of the sentence which figure shall
be considered as the insurance premium for the Base Period: ________. 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.
(b) Lessee shall pay any such premium increase to Lessor within 30 days
after receipt by Lessee of a copy of the premium statement of 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 Lessee a statement of the amount of such increase attributable to the
Premises and showing in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount was
computed. If the term of this Lease shall not expire 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.
8.5 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
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
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide". Lessee shall
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. SEE ADDITION TO (P)8.5 AT (P)55.
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 loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against
under paragraph 8.3, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether
due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,
contractors and/or invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier
or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this
Lease.
<PAGE>
8.7 Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises, or from
the conduct of Lessee's businesses or from any activity , work or things done,
permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall
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
Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any
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
at Lessee's expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material
part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises arising from any
cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor
shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, or merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or

improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having the direct or
indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement
district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the
Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, as against
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefore, and as against Lessor's
business of leasing the Premises. The term "real property tax" shall also
include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of,
partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove
included within the definition of "real property tax", or (ii) the nature of
which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real property tax", or
(iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged prior to June 1, 1978,
or, if previously charged, has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which
is imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or total, of Lessor's
interest in the Premises or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore
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,
Lessee's 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 valuation
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 said 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 or 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 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
<PAGE>
be a waiver by Lessor of any provisions 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 or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or 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 or 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 Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such as
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 thereof 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 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. paragraph 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 such 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 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 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 sum due from Lessee shall not be received by
Lessor or Lessor's designee within five (5) 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
<PAGE>
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 when due, before
delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance 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. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under 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 by 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
Grubb & Ellis Co., 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 as agreed,
for brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.
(b) Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercises any Option as defined
in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under this Lease, or
any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to an Option
grated to Lessee under this lease, or if Lessee acquires any rights to the
Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are substantially
similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein granted to
Lessee been exercised, or if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after
the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an
Option, or if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale
entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent
property in which Lessor has an interest, then as to any said transactions,
Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said
broker(s) in effect at the time of execution of this Paragraph 15.
(c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor but also
on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity having an
ownership interest in said real property or any part 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.
(d) Lessor indemnifies and holds Lessee harmless from any claim for fees
by a broker.
<PAGE>
16. Estoppel Certificate.
(a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (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 names
(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 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 provisions of this Lease as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provisions 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
agreement 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.
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 provisions hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provisions 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 any subsequent
<PAGE>
act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver
of any preceding breach by Lessee or 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. This paragraph has been deleted.
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 option 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 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 prior to such mortgage,
deed of trust, 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 his
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 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 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.
<PAGE>
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. Multiple Tenant Building. In the event that the Premises are part of a
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 make 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.
40. 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.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents and
invitees from acts of third parties.
<PAGE>
41. Easements. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to
grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or
desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long
as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall
sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to
do so shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.
42. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part
of said party to institute suite for recovery of such sum. If it shall be
adjudged that there was no legal obligation of the part of said party to pay
such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum
or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of
this Lease.
43. Authority. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease,
deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.
44. Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and
the typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten
or handwritten provisions.
45. Addendum. Attached hereto is an addendum or addenda containing paragraphs
47 through 56 which constitutes a part of this Lease.

3. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor cannot provide or guarantee

SALE/LEASE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DISCLOSURE
The United States Congress has enacted the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Among other things, this act is intended to make many business establishments
equally accessible to persons with a variety of disabilities; modifications to
real property may be required. State and local laws also may mandate changes.
The real estate brokers in this transaction are not qualified to advise you as
to what, if any, changes may be required now, or in the future. Owners and
tenants should consult the attorneys and qualified design professionals of their
choice for information regarding these matters. Real Estate brokers cannot
determine which attorneys or design professionals have the appropriate expertise
in this area.
Various construction materials may contain items that have been or may in the
future be determined to be hazardous (toxic) or undesirable and may need to be
specifically treated/handled or removed. For example, some transformers and
other electrical components contain PCB's, and asbestos has been used in
components such as fire-proofing, heating and cooling systems, air duct
insulation, spray-on and tile acoustical materials, linoleum, floor tiles,
roofing, dry wall and plaster. Due to prior or current uses of the Property or
in the area, the Property may have hazardous or undesirable metals, minerals,
chemicals, hydrocarbons, or biological or radioactive items (including electric
and magnetic fields) in soils, water, building components, above or below-ground
containers or elsewhere in areas that may or may not be accessible or
noticeable. Such items may leak or otherwise be released. Expert inspections
are necessary. Current or future laws may require clean up by past, present
and/or future owners and/or operators. It is the responsibility of the
Seller/Lessor and Buyer/Tenant to retain qualified experts to detect and correct
such matters and to consult with legal counsel of their choice to determine what
provisions, if any, they may wish to include in transaction documents regarding
the Property.
To the best of Seller/Lessor's knowledge, Seller/Lessor has attached to this
Disclosure copies of all existing surveys and reports known to Seller/Lessor
regarding asbestos and the hazardous materials and undesirable substances
related to the Property. Sellers/Lessors are required under California Health
and Safety Code Section 25915 et seq. to disclose reports and surveys regarding
asbestos to certain persons, including their employees, contractors, co-owners,
purchasers and tenants. Buyers/Tenants have similar disclosure obligations.
Sellers/Lessors and Buyers/Tenants have additional hazardous materials
disclosure responsibilities to each other under California Health and Safety
Code Section 25359.7 and other California laws. Consult your attorney regarding
this matter. Grubb & Ellis Company is not qualified to assist you in this matter
or provide you with other legal or tax advice,
