PREMISES AND TERM

hereby leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the
condition of the Premises, the Building or the Property and the Premises are being leased AS- IS
with all faults. The Parties agree that, based upon their own inspection and estimates, the total
estimated square footage of the Premises is 2,200 square feet, notwithstanding any minor
variations in measurement or other minor variations that may have occurred in the calculation

Landlord as Additional Rent an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount as a

pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of such increase.

noncompliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of or with any of the Rules and
Regulations. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and the provisions

filed against the Premises or Tenant's leasehold estate therein, by payment or posting of a proper
bond within ten (10) days from the date of the lien filing(s), then Landlord may, at Tenant's
expense, cause such lien(s) to be released by any means Landlord deems proper, including but not

disbursed, deposited or incurred by Landlord in connection with the release of the lien(s), including
but not limited to all costs, expenses and attorney's fees, shall be due and payable by Tenant to
Landlord as Additional Rent on demand by Landlord.
ARTICLE IX.

9.1. Indemnity - To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall defend (with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Landlord), indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against
any and all Claims arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to this Lease or the Premises
(including without limitation, Claims for or relating to loss of or damage to property, injury or
death of any person, and economic losses and consequential or resulting damage of any kind),
including any Claim arising from or in connection with or in any way attributable to: (i) the use or
occupancy, or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Property by Tenant
or the Tenant Parties, (ii) any act, error, omission or negligence of Tenant or Tenant Parties or any
invitee, guest or licensee of Tenant in, on or about the Property including without limitation Claims
which directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, are caused by, arise in connection with, result
from, relate to, or are alleged to be caused by, arise in connection with, or relate to, any act or

Property, and/or (iv) any breach or default in performance of any obligation on Tenant's part in the
performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed under this Lease, except to the extent
caused by the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees. The provisions of
this Section shall not be construed or interpreted as restricting, limiting or modifying Tenant's
insurance obligations under this Lease and are independent of such obligations. Tenant's
compliance with insurance requirements set forth in this Lease shall not restrict, limit or modify
Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Page 10 of 21
9.2. Tenant's Insurance - Tenant shall, at its sole expense, procure and maintain throughout the
Term (plus any later periods where Tenant may be in occupancy of the Premises) all of the
insurance coverage, of the type and amounts as described in Exhibit D, attached.
ARTICLE X.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.1. Landlord's Consent Required - Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise
transfer this Lease, or permit all or any part of the Premises to be subleased or used or occupied
for any purpose by anyone other than Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any assignment or sublease without
Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be void and shall constitute an Event
of Default entitling Landlord to terminate this Lease and to exercise all other remedies available
to Landlord under this Lease and at law.
10.2. No Release of Obligations - The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting
hereunder shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee or subtenant from the requirement of obtaining
Landlord's express prior written consent to any other or further assignment or subletting. No
subtenant may assign its sublease, or further sublet its subleased premises, without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Neither an
assignment or subletting nor the collection of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant
shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Article or release Tenant from its
obligations to comply with this Lease, and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE XI.
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1. Repair and Restoration; Termination Rights - If all or part of the Premises is damaged by
fire or other casualty, or if the Building is so damaged that access to or use and occupancy of the
Premises is materially impaired, within forty-five (45) days of the date of the damage, Landlord
shall notify Tenant of the estimated time, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, required for repair
or restoration ("Repair Period"). If the estimated Repair Period is one hundred eighty (180) days
or less, Landlord shall proceed promptly and diligently to repair or restore the Premises or the
portion of the Building necessary for Tenant's occupancy, and this Lease shall remain in effect,
except that for the time unusable, Tenant shall receive a Rent abatement for that part of the
Premises rendered unusable in the conduct of Tenant's business. If the estimated Repair Period is
in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty, Landlord, at its option,
shall either (a) commence to repair the damage, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, or (b) terminate this Lease as of the date specified by Landlord in a notice of
termination, and this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the notice.
Page 11 of 21
11.2. Damage Near End of Term - Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Article, if the Premises or the Building are damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the
Term, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written
notice to the other of the exercise of that option within thirty (30) days after the damage or
destruction, and this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in such notice which shall not
be before the date of such notice nor more than 30 days after the date of such notice.
11.3. Waiver of Statutory Provisions - The provisions of this Lease, including those in this
Article XI, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant that applies in the event
of any damage to the Premises, Building, or Property. Tenant, therefore, fully waives the
provisions of any statute or regulation, including California Civil Code sections 1932(2) and
1933(4), relating to any rights or obligations concerning any such casualty.

improvements, whether temporary or permanent in character, made in or upon the Premises, either
by Landlord or Tenant, shall be Landlord's property and at the expiration or earlier termination of

alterations, additions or improvements (including, without limitation, all telecommunications
equipment and cabling, and all alterations and improvements made by Tenant) made to the
Premises by Tenant and designated by Landlord to be removed, and shall repair any damage to the
Premises or the Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to complete such removal or to
repair the Premises, Landlord may complete such removal and repair, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord therefore. If Tenant fails to remove such property as required under this Lease, Landlord
may dispose of such property in its sole discretion without any liability to Tenant, and further may
charge the cost of any such disposition to Tenant.
12.2. Hold Over Tenancy - If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease with Landlord's written consent, Tenant shall be deemed, at

Landlord's option, to occupy the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month. During such tenancy
(and prior to any termination by Landlord), Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, monthly in advance,
an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then fair market rental (as reasonably determined by
Landlord) for the Premises, or (ii) one hundred thirty percent (130%) of all Rent and Additional
Rent which would become due the last month of the Term, together with all other amounts payable
by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, such month-
to-month tenancy shall be on the same terms and conditions of this Lease except that any rights or
options pertaining to additional space in the Building contained in this Lease shall be deemed to
be terminated and shall be inapplicable thereto. Landlord's acceptance of Rent after such holding
over with Landlord's written consent shall not result in any other tenancy or in a renewal of the
initial term of this Lease. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease without Landlord's written consent, Tenant's continued possession
shall be on the basis of a tenancy at sufferance and Tenant shall pay Rent during the holdover
period in an amount equal to the greater of: (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the then fair
market rental (as reasonably determined by Landlord) for the Premises, or; (ii) two hundred percent
(200%) of all Base Rent which would become due the last month of the Term, together with all
other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord.

effecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession, Landlord shall have the right to:
(i) make changes in the legal status of the Building or the Property as Landlord shall deem
appropriate in its sole discretion, provided such changes do not substantially interfere with Tenant's
use of the Premises for the Permitted Use; (ii) enter the Premises at reasonable times and with
reasonable advance notice (and at any time in the event of an emergency), to inspect or repair the
Premises or the Building and to perform any acts related to the safety, protection, reletting, or
improvement of the Premises or the Building; (iii) install and maintain signs on and in the Building
and the Property; and (iv) make such rules and regulations as, in the reasonable judgment of

vaults and sales. Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of re-keying the room upon occupancy of the
room. If any emergency necessitates immediate access to the Premises, Landlord may use
whatever force is necessary to enter the Premises and any such entry to the Premises shall not
constitute a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, a detainer of the Premises or an eviction
of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
14.1. Tenant's Default - It shall be an "Event of Default" hereunder if Tenant:

and when due and such failure continues for five (5) days following written notice thereof to
Tenant by Landlord;
(b) fails to provide any certificate, instrument or assurance as required by this Lease if the
failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice of the failure to Tenant;
(c) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or files a petition for bankruptcy
or other reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief or have a proceeding filed against
Tenant seeking any relief mentioned in this subsection (c) which is not discharged within sixty
(60) days thereafter;
(d) has a trustee, receiver or liquidator appointed for Tenant;
(e) abandons or vacate the Premises for more than three (3) consecutive months;
(f) assigns this Lease or subleases any portion of the Premises; or
(g) fails to comply with any other provision of this Lease in the manner required hereunder
and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord

commence to cure such noncompliance within the 30-day period and thereafter diligently
prosecute such cure to completion).
14.2. Remedies on Default - Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have
the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies in addition to any other remedies
now or later available to Landlord at law or in equity. These remedies are not exclusive but instead
are cumulative.
(a) Continue Lease - Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect. In such case,
so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, this Lease will continue in
effect and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due, and may undertake efforts to
relet the Premises, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant's account. Tenant shall be liable
to Landlord for all reasonable costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises including without
limitation, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting. Reletting can be for a
period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
Rent due under this Lease on the date the Rent is due, less the Rent Landlord receives from any
reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Section shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord
terminates Tenant's right to possession. After an Event of Default and for as long as Landlord does
not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord's consent,
Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease, but Tenant shall not be
released from liability.
Page 14 of 21
(b) Terminate Lease - Landlord may terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of
the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall
terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a
receiver to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's
right to possession. On termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant all of
the following:
(i) The worth, at the time of the award, of any unpaid Rent that had been earned at the lime of
termination of this Lease;
(ii) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount of unpaid Rent that would have been
earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of the award exceeds the amount
of the unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused
by Tenant's failure to perform obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation,
brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, expenses of remodeling the Premises for a new
tenant, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and
(iv) Any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of those listed above that may be permitted by
law.
(c) Receiver - Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect Rent.
Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall
constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
14.3. Landlord's Default - Landlord's failure to perform any of its obligations under this Lease
shall constitute a Landlord Event of Default hereunder if the failure continues for thirty (30) days
after written notice of the failure from Tenant to Landlord. If the required performance cannot be
completed within thirty (30) days, Landlord's failure to perform shall not constitute a Landlord
Event of Default if Landlord undertakes to cure the failure within such thirty-(30) day period and
diligently and continuously attempts to complete the cure as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant
waives any right to terminate this Lease and to vacate the Premises upon Landlord's default under
this Lease. Tenant's sole remedy on Landlord's default is an action for damages or injunctive or
declaratory relief.
