the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.
13.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord
fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after
written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed
of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore
been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to
perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance,
then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to
completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord 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
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall
not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days after
such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment
by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder.
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 ten percent of the floor area
of the building on the Premises or more than twenty-five percent of the land
area of the Premises which is not occupied by any building is taken by
Condemnation; then Tenant may, at Tenant's option to be exercised in writing
only within ten (10) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant 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 Tenant 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 taken bears
to the total floor area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction
in 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 Landlord, 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 Tenant
shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and
removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by
reason of such Condemnation, Landlord shall, to the extent of severance damages
received by Landlord in connection with such Condemnation, repair any damage to
the Premises caused by such Condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has
been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any
amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.
15. Examination of Lease. Submission of this instrument for examination or
signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option to lease.
This instrument is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and
delivery by Landlord and Tenant.
16. Estoppel Certificate.
(a) Tenant shall upon ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord 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 Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord 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 Landlord's option, Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within
ten (10) days of receipt of written notice shall be a material breach of this
Lease or shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force
and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii)
that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not
more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.
(c) If Landlord desires to finance, refinance or sell the Premises, or any
part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees upon ten (10) days prior written notice to
deliver to Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably
required by a lender or purchaser. Such statement shall include the most recent
three years' financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall
be received by Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes
herein set forth.
17. Landlord's liability. Whenever Landlord conveys its interest in the
Premises, Landlord shall be automatically released from all liability as
respects the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein
contained provided the assignee executes an assumption agreement expressly
agreeing to assume all of Landlord's obligations with respect to this Lease. If
requested, Tenant shall execute a form of release and such other documentation
as may be required to further effect these provisions. Tenant agrees to look
solely to Landlord's estate and interest in the Premises for the satisfaction of
any liability, duty or obligation of Landlord in respect to this Lease or the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder and no other assets of Landlord
shall be subject to any liability therefor. Tenant agrees it will not seek and
hereby waives any recourse against the individual partners, directors, officers,
employees or shareholders of Landlord or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction.
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 Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of
twelve percent per annum but not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law.
Payment of such interest shall not cure any default by Tenant.
20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence.
21. Additional Rent. Any monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord 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.

23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal service, overnight delivery service or by
certified mail, return receipt requested. Notice shall be deemed given on the
date of delivery as shown on the delivery service or postal receipt. Either
party may by notice to the other specify a different address for notice
purposes, except that, upon Tenant's taking possession of the Premises, the
Premises shall constitute Tenant's address for notice purposes. A copy of all
notices to be given to Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted by
Tenant to such parties at such addresses as Landlord may hereafter designate by
notice to Tenant.
24. Waivers. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of
the same or any other provision. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of Rent hereunder by
Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant or of any
provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so
accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the
time of acceptance of such Rent. Partial or incomplete payments accepted by
Landlord shall not be a waiver or considered an accord and satisfaction of any
amounts due.
25. Captions. Paragraph captions are not a part hereof.
26. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part
thereof after the expiration of the Term without the express written consent of
Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental
equal to the Rent during the last month of the Term increased by ____ percent
and upon all the terms hereof applicable to a 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 Tenant
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. Binding Effect. Choice of Law Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 12 and
17, this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives. This
Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. The venue for
hearing litigation shall be in Orange County, California.
30. Subordination.
(a) This Lease, at landlord'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
all advances made on the security thereof and to all modifications, replacements
and extensions thereof. Landlord's election to subordinate this Lease shall not
be effective unless the ground lessor, mortgagee or trustee shall execute with
Tenant a nondisturbance agreement recognizing that Tenant's right to quiet
possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default
and so long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all the
provisions of this Lease. 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 Tenant, this Lease shall be
deemed 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) Tenant 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. Tenant's failure to
execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall
constitute a default by Tenant hereunder, or at Landlord's option, Landlord
shall execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact.
Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place and stead to execute such
documents.
31. Attorney's Fees. If Landlord or Tenant brings an action to enforce its
respective rights hereunder, the unsuccessful party therein agrees to pay all
costs incurred by the prevailing party therein, including reasonable attorney's
fees and court costs to be fixed by the court.
32. Landlord's Access. Landlord and Landlord'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 tenants, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable.
Landlord may at any time during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the
Term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale" or "For
Lease" signs, all without rebate of Rent or liability to Tenant.
33. Auctions. Tenant shall not conduct any auction without Landlord's prior
written consent.
34. Signs. Any sign placed on the Premises shall contain only Tenant's name or
the name of any affiliate of Tenant actually occupying the Premises, but no
advertising matter. No such sign shall be erected until Tenant has obtained
Landlord's written approval of the location, materials, size, design, and
content thereof and any necessary permit therefor. Tenant shall remove any such
sign upon termination and return the Premises to their condition prior to the
placement of said sign.
35. Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not work a
merger and shall at the option of the Landlord, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to
Landlord of any or all of such tenancies.
36. Easements, Boundary Changes. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from
time to time, to grant such easements, rights, dedications and enact boundary
and common area configuration adjustments that Landlord deems necessary or
desirable and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long
as they do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant.
Tenant shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Landlord
and failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant.
37. Quiet Possession. Upon Tenant's paying the Rent, additional rent and other
sums provided hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants,
conditions and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed
hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire
Term hereof, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
38. Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. If
Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, Tenant shall, within thirty (30)
days after execution of this Lease, deliver evidence of such authority to
Landlord.
See Addendum attached.
The Parties hereto have executed this Lease on the dates immediately above their
respective signatures.
