lease or sublease, or use or occupy or permit the demised premises
or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the
prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent

the express terms and conditions of this Article. Any such
mortgage, encumbrance, sublease or assignment or permission without

lease.
No sublease, or assignment may
become effective unless and until Tenant has given Landlord at

Landlord’s written consent and subject to the following
express conditions: A. That Tenant does not sublease or
assign to more than a reasonable number of transferees which number
shall be subject to Landlord’s approval; B. That each
transferee shall be subject to the prior written approval of
Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, but
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be
reasonable for Landlord to deny such approval if: (1) The use
to be made of the demised premises by the proposed transferee is
(a) not generally consistent with the character and nature of
all other tenancies in the Building or with Landlord’s
leasing policy, or (b) a use which conflicts with any so
called “exclusive” then in favor of another tenant of
the Building or of any of Landlord’s other Buildings which
are in the same complex as the Building, or (c) any use which
is the same as that stated in any percentage lease to another
tenant of the Building or any of Landlord’s other Buildings
which are in the same complex as the Building or (d) a use
which would be prohibited by any other portion of this lease
(including but not limited to any rules and regulations then
in effect): or (2) The character, moral stability, reputation
and financial responsibility of the proposed transferee is not
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or in any event not at least
equal to those which were possessed by Tenant as of the date of
execution of this lease; C. That in no event shall the term
of such sublease or assingment be for a longer period than the
unexpired term of this lease; D. That each sublease or
assignment shall expressly provide that it is subject and
subordinate to this lease; E. That Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, Landlord’s then standard processing fee which as of
the date of execution of this is currently the sum of$1,000.00
F. That the proposed transferee shall execute an agreement on
Landlord’s then standard form pursuant to which it shall
agree to perform faithfully and be bound by all of the terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this lease for
the period covered by the sublease or assignment to the extent of
the space subleased; G. That an executed duplicate original
of each sublease or assignment and assumption agreement in a form
acceptable to Landlord, together with all sums due, shall be
delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after the execution
thereof and any such sublease or assignment shall not be binding
upon Landlord until the delivery of the foregoing to Landlord and
the execution and delivery of Landlord’s consent thereto and
; H. That Landlord shall have the right upon written demand
to require the transferee to pay the rent under the sublease or
assignment directly to the Landlord and/or to require Tenant to pay
to Landlord a sum equal to (i) Fifty percent (50%) of any rent
or other consideration paid to Tenant by any transferee which is in
excess of the rent then being paid by Tenant to Landlord to the
extent of, and as apportionable to the space sought to be subleased
pursuant to the terms of this lease, after reduction ofor the
reasonable and necessary direct costs actually incurred by Tenant
to obtain the sublease or assignment, such as e.g. any brokerage
feee and remodeling cost, but with no reduction for any indirect
costs, such as e.g. rent and expenses paid by Tenant while the
space sought to be sublease or assigned is vacant, and
(ii) fifty percent (50%) of any other profit or gain realized
by Tenant from any such subleasing. All sums payable
hereunder by Tenant shall be paid to landlord as additional rent
immediately upon receipt thereof by Tenant. Any such rent,
profit, gain or other consideration, or sum equal to same, as set
forth herein, not so paid to Landlord as herein required, shall be
and is deemed to be held and retained by Tenant in trust for the
sole benefit of
Landlord, and, whether actually held or retained
by Tenant or not, shall be and is deemed to be held and retained by
Tenant in trust for the sole benefit of Landlord, and whether
actually held or retained by Tenant or not, shall be chargeable to
Tenant and payable to Landlord upon demand. Any failure or
refusal by Tenant to pay Landlord same shall constitute a default
and material breach of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
lease subjecting Tenant to all the rights and remedies of Landlord
under this lease and applicable law.
The consent by Landlord to a
sublease or assignment shall not in any way be construed to relieve
Tenant or the transferee from obtaining the express consent in
writing of Landlord to any further transfer. Any further
transfer shall require the written consent of Tenant and any
previous transferee except that Tenant and any transferee hereunder
expressly waive their right to consent to any further subleasing of
the premises on their behalf by Landlord. The consent by Landlord
to a sublease shall not in any way be construed to release Tenant
from any liability whether past, present or future under this lease
or to release Tenant from any liability under this lease because of
Landlord’s failure to give notice of default under or in
respect to any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or
agreements of this lease. Notwithstanding the consent of
Landlord to such sublease, Tenant shall remain liable for payment
of all bills rendered by Landlord for the rent and other charges
incurred by the transferee for services and materials supplied to
the demised premises. If Tenant is a corporation which, under
the then current guidelines published by the Commissioner or
Corporations of the State of California, is not deemed a public
corporation, or if Tenant is an unincorporated association or a
partnership, the transfer assignment, or hypothecation of any stock
or interest in such corporation, association or partnership in the
excess of twenty-five (25%) percent shall be deemed a proposed
transfer within the meaning of this Article, including the
requirement of obtaining Landlord’s prior written
consent. Landlord hereby consents to the assignment,
subletting, or transfer of this lease by Tenant to any corporation
resulting from a consolidation, or to the surviving corporation in
case of merger, to which consolidation or merger Tenant shall be
party, or to any bank acquiring all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a
reorganization of Tenant.
4. EXPIRATION.
If Tenant shall hold-over
after the expiration of the lease term with the written consent of
Landlord, such holding shall be construed to be a tenancy only from
month-to-month, but otherwise in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof insofar as they are applicable, but Tenant shall
pay the rate Landlord is then offering to prospective tenants for
the herein demised premises for such further time as Tenant may
hold the same; but nothing in this Article shall be construed
as consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession of the
demised premises by Tenant after the expiration of the term
hereof. If Tenant holds over after the termination of this
lease without express written consent of the Landlord, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord rent at the rate landlord is then offering to
prospective tenants for the herein demised premises (but in no
event less than two times the monthly rental which was payable for
the last month of the lease term), plus sums payable under
Article 20 and other sums payable as rent under this lease for
the period during which Tenant retains possession of the
premises. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of
any of the Landlord’s rights or remedies to recover
possession of the demised premises. Tenant shall be liable to
Landlord for any and all reasonably related damages suffered by
Landlord including but not limited to any damages to the demised
premises and any lost rentals, profits or leases suffered because
of Tenant’s holdover of the premises without the written
consent of the Landlord. This lease shall terminate on the
date set forth without the necessity of notice from either
party.
If at any time during the term of
this lease, Tenant should fail to keep and perform all the terms,
covenants and conditions of this lease to be kept and performed by
Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may utilize said deposit, or any
part thereof, for any damages or rents which may accrue or which
may be payable to it by the Tenant (but Landlord shall not be
required to do so) or Landlord may retain said deposit, or any part
thereof, until this lease is terminated, and at such time
appropriate and apply said sum or so much thereof as may abe
necessary to compensate landlord for all loss or damage sustained
or suffered by Landlord or for any unpaid rent due to any default
on the part of Tenant. In the event Landlord elects to
utilize all or any part of the security deposit as aforesaid,
Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, forthwith deposit
with Landlord such sum as is necessary to replenish the security
deposit to its original amount, it being the express intent of
Tenant and Landlord that Landlord shall hold a security deposit in
the aforesaid amount at all times during the entire term of this
lease and any extension or renewal thereof. Tenant’s
failure to so restore the full amount of the said security deposit
within (5) days after written notice from Landlord shall
constitute a material breach of this lease. The parties agree
that the provisions of this Article 5 shall not operate as a
limitation upon the amount of damages to which Landlord may be
entitled by virtue of any defaults by Tenant.
6. AUTOMOBILE
PARKING.
Automobile parking subject to availability, shall be extended to
Tenant’s invitees, in common with the invitees of other
tenants, at reasonable parking rates and upon other conditions
established by Landlord from time to time in the parking area where
designated by Landlord. Landlord reserves the sole right and
option as to whether or not an attendant will be furnished for such
automobile parking area or areas. If no attendant is
furnished, Landlord will provide suitable designation of the
parking area to Tenant. This right to park will be solely for
the accommodation of the Tenant and Tenant expressly agrees that
Landlord assumes no responsibility of any kind whatsoever in
reference to such automobile parking areas or the use thereof by
the Tenant, its employees or invitees.

of such improvements within any twelve (12) month period, without
Landlord’s prior written consent. All such alterations,
improvements or changes shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and

mechanic’s lien or other lien filed against the demised
premises or the building of which the demised premises are a part
to be released and removed within ten (10) days of such
filling either by the satisfaction of such lien or by the posting
of a bond. Landlord may impose, as a condition of such
consent, such requirements as Landlord in its sole and reasonable
discretion may deem reasonable and desirable, including, but not
limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes
only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by
Landlord, and the requirement that Tenant shall furnish Landlord

Landlord written notice of the commencement date of any
alterations, improvements or repairs to be made in, to or upon the
premises not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement

architectural services or consultants employed by Landlord relative
to tenant’s alterations or improvements) is performed by
Landlord’s contractor, the charges for such work shall

of any and all claims for damages, allow Tenant a credit on
Tenant’s rent in the proportion that the rental value of the
space taken bears to the rental value of the whole of the demised
