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.

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.
