At any time Landlord may, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, adjust the amount of the estimated Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and HVAC maintenance costs to reflect Landlord's estimate of such expenses for the year. 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon Tenant's execution hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for Tenant's faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent or otherwise defaults under this Lease (as defined in paragraph 13.1), landlord may use the security deposit for the payment of any amount due Landlord or to reimburse or compensate Landlord for any liability, cost, expense, loss, or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Landlord may suffer or incur by reason thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without Landlord's prior consent, but upon notice to Landlord and in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used by Tenant in the normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage, or expose Landlord to any liability therefor. In addition, Landlord may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by Tenant upon Tenant's giving Landlord such additional assurances as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises, and the environment against damage, contamination, injury, and/or liability therefor, including but not limited to the installation (and, at Landlord's option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional Security Deposit. (b) Duty to Inform Landlord. If Tenant knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance is located in, under, or about the Premises or the Building, Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice thereof, together with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given to, or received from, any governmental authority or private party concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to such Hazardous Substance.

Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property, or the environment created or suffered by Tenant, and the cost of investigation (including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation, -5- restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved. Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease. 6.3 Tenant's Compliance with Requirements.

Such termination shall not excuse the performance by Tenant of those covenants which under the terms hereof survive termination. Rent shall be abated in proportion to the degree of interference during the period that there is such substantial interference with the conduct of Tenant's business at the Premises. Abatement of rent and Tenant's right of termination pursuant to this provision shall be Tenant's sole remedy for Tenant's loss of beneficial use of the Premises due to the failure of Landlord to keep in good order, condition, and repair the foundations and exterior walls of the Building, Building roof, utility systems outside the Building, the Common Areas, and HVAC. 9.2 Damage Caused by Tenant. Tenant's termination rights under Paragraph 9.1 shall not apply if the damage to the Premises or Building is the result of any act or omission of Tenant or of any of Tenant's, agents, employees, customers, invitees, or contractors ("Tenant Acts"). Any damage resulting from a Tenant Act shall be promptly repaired by Tenant. Landlord at its option may at tenant's expense repair any damage caused by tenant acts.

As used herein, the term "Real Property Taxes" is any form of tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary, or extraordinary, imposed or levied upon (a) the Industrial Center or Building, (b) any interest of Landlord in the Industrial Center or -8- Building, (c) Landlord's right to rent or other income from the Industrial Center or Building, and/or (d) Landlord's business of leasing the Premises. Real Property Taxes include (a) any licenses fee, commercial rental tax, excise tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy, or tax; (b) any tax or charge which replaces or is in addition to any of such above-described "Real Property Taxes," and (c) any fees, expenses, or costs (including attorneys' fees, expert fees, and the like) incurred by Landlord in protesting or contesting any assessments levied or any tax rate. Real Property Taxes for tax years commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date and Expiration Date. 10.3 Additional Improvements. Operating Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes attributable to improvements placed upon the Building by Landlord unless requested by Tenant. Tenant shall, however, pay to Landlord at the time Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed by reason of improvements placed upon the Premises by Tenant or at Tenant's request. 10.4 Joint Assessment. If the Building is not separately assessed, Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed. 10.5 Tenant's Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon Tenant's improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and all personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises. 11. UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay directly for all utilities and services supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone, security, gas, and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. 12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 12.1 Landlord's Consent Required. (a) Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively, "assign") or sublet all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Relevant criteria in determining reasonability of consent include, but are not limited to, credit history of a proposed assignee or sublessee, references from prior landlords, any change or intensification of use of the Premises or the Common Areas, and any limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Real Estate Investment Trusts. Assignment or sublet shall not release Tenant from its obligations hereunder. Tenant shall not (i) sublet, assign, or enter into other arrangements in which the amounts to be paid by the sublessee or assignee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee or assignee; (ii) sublet the Premises or assign this Lease to any person or entity in which Landlord owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"); or (iii) sublet the Premises or assign this Lease in any other manner which could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any sublease to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or which could cause any other income received by Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code. The requirements of this Section 12.1 shall apply to any further subleasing by any subtenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any assignment or subletting to which Landlord consents, Landlord shall receive fifty percent (50%), in the event of a sublease, of any rent received by Tenant above the rent then being paid by Tenant to Landlord less: (i) rent obligations paid by Tenant hereunder during any period when the Premises were vacant following the marketing of the Premises for such sublease; (ii) the costs of any tenant improvements made or allowance given to the subtenant for tenant improvements; (iii) any free rent or other economic concessions given the subtenant; and (iv) any commissions or marketing expense paid by Tenant for such sublease. In addition, Landlord shall receive fifty percent (50%), in the event of an assignment, of any profit derived by Tenant from such assignment less any commissions or marketing expense paid by Tenant for such assignment. In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its authorized managing agent (as directed by Landlord) a fee of $750.00 to cover Landlord's costs of review, negotiation, preparation or execution of any documentation regarding such assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may sublease up to 50% of the Premises, pursuant to this Section, and Landlord shall not receive any portion of the profit derived from such sublease. Landlord shall approve or disapprove a proposed sublease of up to 50% of the Premises within ten (10) days following receipt of Tenant's written request. -9- (b) A change in the control of Tenant shall constitute an assignment requiring Landlord's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of 25% or more of the voting or management control of Tenant shall constitute a change in control for this purpose, provided that changes resulting from the sale of stock through a recognized stock exchange shall not constitute a change of control hereunder. 12.2 Non-Transfers. The term "Affiliate" shall mean any entity which is controlled by controls, or is under common control with, Tenant or which merges with, is acquired by, or acquires all of Tenant's assets or stock. "Control," as used in this Paragraph 12.2, shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 12, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an "Affiliate" of Tenant shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Paragraph 12, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably required by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations and Tenant remains liable under this Lease. 13. DEFAULT; REMEDIES. 13.1 Default. The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an event of default on the part of Tenant ("Default"): (a) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; (b) Failure to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other monies due and payable hereunder, said failure continuing for a period of 5 days after Tenant receives notices that such payment was not received when due, which notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required by statute; (c) A general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor for the benefit of creditors; (d) The filing of a voluntary petition of bankruptcy by Tenant or any guarantor; the filing of a voluntary petition for an arrangement; the filing of a petition, voluntary or involuntary, for reorganization; or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors or guarantors; (e) Receivership, attachment, of other judicial seizure of the Premises or all or substantially all of Tenant's assets on the Premises; (f) Failure of Tenant to maintain insurance as required by Paragraph 8.2; (g) Any breach by Tenant of its covenants under Paragraph 6.2; (h) Failure in the performance of any of Tenant's covenants, agreements, or obligations hereunder (except those failures specified as events of Default in other Paragraphs of this Paragraph 13.1 which shall be governed by such other Paragraphs), which failure continues for 20 days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that, if Tenant has exercised reasonable diligence to cure such failure and such failure cannot be cured within such 20-day period despite reasonable diligence, tenant shall not be in default under this subparagraph unless Tenant fails thereafter diligently and continuously to prosecute the cure to completion; 13.2 Remedies. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have any or all of the following remedies: (a) Termination. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable which have been earned at the time of such termination; plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus -10- (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new lessee or lessees; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus (5) such reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default, and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedy; and plus (6) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. As used in subparagraph (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1 %). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Default of Tenant hereunder. (b) Continuation of Lease. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). (c) Re-entry. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, in compliance with applicable law, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. (d) Reletting. In the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Paragraph a, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following order: (1) to reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedies; (2) to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (3) to the payment of any costs of such reletting; (4) to the payment of the costs of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; (5) to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and (6) the residue, if any, shall be held by landlord and applied in payment of future Rent and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder, be less than the Rent payable during the month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. (e) Termination. No re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Addendum shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such Default. (f) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are not exclusive and Landlord shall have any and all other remedies provided herein or by law or in equity. (g) No Surrender. No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting of the acceptance of the keys to the premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the premises by tenant prior to the expiration of the term, and such acceptance by Landlord of surrender by tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a written acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by landlord. The surrender of this lease by tenant, voluntarily or otherwise, shall not work a merger unless Landlord elects in writing that -11- such merger take place, but shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of any and all, existing subleases, or Landlord may, at its option, elect in writing to treat such surrender as a merger terminating Tenant's estate under this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may terminate any or all such subleases by notifying the sublessee of its election so to do within five (5) days after such surrender. (h) Notice Provisions. Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 13.1 of the Lease shall satisfy the requirements for notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding. Should Landlord prepare any notice to Tenant for failure to pay rent, additional rent or perform any other obligation under the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without any further notice from Landlord, the additional sum of $75.00 which the parties hereby agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of preparing such notice. 13.3 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. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within 4 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 5% 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. In addition, should Landlord be unable to negotiate any payment made by Tenant on the first attempt by Landlord and without any notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee of $50.00 per item which the parties hereby agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of Landlord's inability to negotiate such item(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay a late charge until each time after the fourth time during the term or extended term of that Tenant fails to pay any amount due under this Lease within 4 days after said amount shall be due. 14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of 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 Premises, or more than 25% of the portion of the Common Areas designated for Tenant's, parking, is taken by condemnation, Tenant may, at Tenant's option, to be exercised in writing within 10 days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within 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 Base Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable floor area of the premises. No reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the Premises. 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; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any compensation, separately awarded to Tenant, for Tenant's relocation expenses and/or loss of Tenant's trade fixtures. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord shall to the extent of its net severance damages in the condemnation matter, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance damages required to complete such repair. 15. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 15.1 Estoppel Certificate. Each party (herein referred to as "Responding Party") shall within 10 days after written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting Party") execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Requesting Party, to the extent it can truthfully do so, an estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, plus such additional information, confirmation, and statements as be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party. Should Tenant fail to deliver an executed and acknowledged estoppel certificate to Landlord as prescribed herein, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to act as Tenant's attorney-in-fact in executing such -12- estoppel certificate or, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall pay a fee of $100.00 per day ("Estoppel Delay Fee") for each day after the 10 days' written notice in which Tenant fails to comply with this requirement. 15.2 Financial Statement. If Landlord desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Building, Industrial Center, or any part thereof, Tenant shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to Tenant's financial statements for the past 3 years. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. 16. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND PROVISIONS. 16.1 Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof. 16.2 Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Any monetary payment due Landlord hereunder not received by Landlord within 10 days following the date on which it was due shall bear interest from the date due at 12% per annum, but not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law in addition to the late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.3. 16.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease. 16.4 Landlord Liability. Tenant, its successors, and assigns shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord's assets other than Landlord's interest in the Industrial Center. Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease. In no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term shall include, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees, beneficiaries, officers, directors, or stockholders of Landlord) ever be personally liable for any such liability. 16.5 No Prior or Other Agreements. This Lease contains all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or understandings. 16.6 Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand, messenger, or courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified, or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission during normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 16.6. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for delivery or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes, except that upon Tenant's taking possessing of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Tenant's address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to Tenant. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Landlord may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice to Tenant. 16.7 Date of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given 48 hours after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or an overnight courier that guarantees next day delivery shall be deemed given 24 hours after delivery of the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed served or delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via hand or overnight delivery or certified mail. If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day. 16.8 Waivers. No waiver by Landlord of a Default by Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of any other town, covenant, or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default by Tenant of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition hereof. 16.9 Holdover. Tenant has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant holds over with the consent of Landlord: (a) the Base Rent payable shall be increased to 150% of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such expiration or earlier termination; (b) Tenant's right to possession shall terminate on 30 days notice from Landlord; and (c) all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue to apply. Nothing contained herein shall be -13- construed as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, obligations, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees incurred or suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. 16.10 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies in law or in equity. 16.11 Binding Effect: Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the Parties, their personal representatives, successors, and assigns, and be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which the Premises are located. 16.12 Landlord. The covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord are binding on Landlord, its successors, and assigns only during their respective period of ownership of an interest in the Building. In the event of any transfer or transfers of such title to the Building, Landlord (and, in the case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement, of all liability with respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed. 16.13 Attorneys' Fees and Other Costs. If any Party brings an action or proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. The term "Prevailing Party" shall include, without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought. Landlord shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting breach. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all reasonable legal, engineering, and other professional services expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant or any lender of Tenant for consent, waiver or approval of any kind. 16.14 Landlord's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements, or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs, and Landlord may at any time during the last 180 days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such activities of Landlord shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Tenant. 16.15 Signs. Tenant shall not place any signs at or upon the exterior of the Premises or the Building, except that Tenant may, with Landlord's prior written consent, install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise Tenant's own business so long as such signs are in a location designated by Landlord and comply with sign ordinances and the signage criteria established for the Industrial Center by Landlord. 16.16 Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Landlord, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Landlord for Default by Tenant, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall, in the event of any such surrender, termination, or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any existing subtenancies. Landlord's failure within 10 days following any such event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest shall constitute Landlord's election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest. 16.17 Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Tenant of the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Premises and the performance of all of the covenants, conditions, and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof, subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. 16.18 Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance. (a) Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or mortgage (collectively, "Mortgage") now or hereafter placed by Landlord upon the real property of which the Premises are a part, to -14- any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees that any person holding any Mortgage shall have no duty, liability, or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease. In the event of Landlord's default with respect to any such obligation, Tenant will give any Lender, whose name and address have previously been furnished in writing to Tenant, notice of a default by Landlord. Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord unless and until Landlord and the Lender shall have received written notice of such default and a reasonable time (not less than 90 days) shall thereafter have elapsed without the default having been cured. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease superior to the lien of its Mortgage and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage. The provisions of a Mortgage relating to the disposition of condemnation and insurance proceeds shall prevail over any contrary provisions contained in this Lease. (b) Attornment. Subject to the nondisturbance provisions of subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 16.18, Tenant agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Mortgage. In the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior Landlord, or (iii) be liable for security deposits or be bound by prepayment of more than one month's rent. (c) Non-Disturbance. With respect to a Mortgage entered into by Landlord after the execution of this Lease, Tenant's subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "nondisturbance agreement") from the Mortgage holder that Tenant's possession and this Lease will not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. (d) Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 16.18 shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that upon written request from Landlord or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing, or refinancing of Premises, Tenant and Landlord shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such subordination or nonsubordination, attornment, and/or nondisturbance agreement, as is provided for herein. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power to subordinate this Lease to a Mortgage. 16.19 Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees that it will abide by, and to cause its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, tenants, contractors, and invitees to abide by, all reasonable rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations") which Landlord may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the Industrial Center, the parking and unloading of vehicles, and the preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other occupants or tenants of the Building and the Industrial Center and their invitees. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the noncompliance with said Rules and Regulations by other tenants of the Industrial Center. 16.20 Security Measures. Tenant acknowledges that the rental payable to Landlord hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security measures. Landlord has no obligations to provide same. Except for the gross negligence or intentional acts of Landlord and its agents, Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of the Premises, Tenant, its agents, and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties. 16.21 Reservations. Landlord reserves the right to grant such easements that Landlord deems necessary and to cause the recordation of parcel maps, so long as such easements and maps do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easements or maps. 16.22 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. 16.23 Offer. Preparation of this lease by either Landlord or Tenant or Landlord's agent or Tenant's agent and submission of same to Tenant or Landlord shall not be deemed an offer to lease. This Lease is not intended to be binding until executed and delivered by all Parties hereto. 16.24 Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification. 16.25 Multiple Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if more than one person or entity is named herein as Tenant, the obligations of such persons shall be the joint and several responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Tenant. -15- 16.26 Authority. Each person signing on behalf of Landlord or Tenant warrants and represents that she or he is authorized to execute and deliver this Lease and to make it a binding obligation of Landlord or Tenant.

In order to exercise an option to extend, Tenant must give written notice of such election to Landlord and Landlord must receive the same by the Last Exercise Date but not prior to the Earliest Exercise Date. If proper notification of the exercise of an option is not given and/or received, such option shall automatically expire. Options (if there are more than one) may only be exercised consecutively. Failure to exercise an option terminates that option and all subsequent options. Tenant acknowledges that because of the importance to Landlord of knowing no later than the Last Exercise Date whether or not Tenant will exercise the option, the failure of Tenant to notify Landlord by the Last Exercise Date will conclusively be presumed an election by Tenant not to exercise the option. b. Tenant shall have no right to exercise an option (i) if Tenant is in Default or (ii) in the event that Landlord has given to Tenant three or more notices of separate Defaults during the 12-month period immediately preceding the exercise of the option, whether or not the Defaults are cured. The period of time within which an option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to exercise an option because of the provisions of this paragraph. c. All of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except where specifically modified by this Addendum, shall apply. 1 d. The options are personal to the Tenant, cannot be assigned or exercised by anyone other than the Tenant, and only while the Tenant is in full possession of the Premises and without the intention of thereafter assigning or subletting.
