On or before the first day of the calendar month next succeeding<br \/>\nsuch notice, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to such estimated<br \/>\namounts multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months<br \/>\nof such subsequent calendar year of the Lease which have elapsed and the<br \/>\ndenominator of which is 12; on or before the first day of each calendar month<br \/>\nthereafter occurring during such subsequent calendar year, Lessee shall pay to<br \/>\nLessor 1\/12 of such estimated amounts. If for any reason such notice is not<br \/>\ngiven as provided above, Lessee shall continue to pay on the basis of the then<br \/>\napplicable rental until the month after such notice is given. If at any time or<br \/>\ntimes it appears to Lessor that the increased amounts payable under paragraphs<br \/>\n(b) and\/or (c) above for such subsequent calendar year will vary from its<br \/>\nestimate by more than 10 percent, Lessor shall, by notice to Lessee, revise its<br \/>\nestimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Lessee for such year shall be<br \/>\nbased upon such revised estimate.<\/p>\n<p>               (ii)  Within 90 days after the close of each Base Year and each<br \/>\nrespective calendar year during the term of this Lease subsequent to the Base<br \/>\nYear (or as soon after such 90-day period as practicable), Lessor shall deliver<br \/>\nto Lessee a statement of the adjustments to be made pursuant to paragraphs (b)<br \/>\nand\/or (c) above for such calendar year prepared according to generally<br \/>\nacceptable accounting principles, and such statement shall be final and binding<br \/>\nupon Lessor and Lessee.  If on the basis of such statement Lessee owes an amount<br \/>\nthat is less than the estimated payments for such year previously made by<br \/>\nLessee, Lessor shall refund such excess to Lessee.  If on the basis of the<br \/>\nstatement Lessee owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for<br \/>\nsuch year previously made by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the deficiency to Lessor<br \/>\nwithin 30 days after delivery of the statement.<\/p>\n<p>               (iii) If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last<br \/>\nday of a full year of the term of this Lease, the amount of adjustment to be<br \/>\nmade pursuant to paragraphs (b) and\/or (c) above that is applicable to the<br \/>\ncalendar year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis<br \/>\nthat the number of days from the commencement of such year to and including the<br \/>\ntermination date bears to 365.  The termination of this Lease shall not affect<br \/>\nthe obligations of Lessor and Lessee pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this<br \/>\nparagraph (d) to be performed after such termination.<\/p>\n<p>     Lessee and Lessee&#8217;s auditors shall have the right upon reasonable notice to<br \/>\ninspect Lessor&#8217;s books and records, at Lessor&#8217;s office, showing the amounts<br \/>\nalleged to be payable by Lessee as additional rent.  If Lessee&#8217;s auditors<br \/>\nconclude that Lessor has overcharged (by more than three percent (3%) of all<br \/>\nadditional rent) for any additional rent, Lessor shall promptly refund to Lessee<br \/>\nthe amount of such overcharge, plus Lessee&#8217;s out-of-pocket costs (including<br \/>\nauditing costs) incurred in connection with such inspection and the<br \/>\ndetermination of such <\/p>\n<p>                                       3<\/p>\n<p>overcharge.

Base Rent shall be paid to Lessor upon the<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nexecution of this Lease for the first full calendar month of the term of this<br \/>\nLease, and on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar<br \/>\nmonth after the first full calendar month during the term hereof.<\/p>\n<p>          (f) No Deduction or Offset; Interest.  All rental and all other sums<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\ndue and payable by Lessee to Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease<br \/>\nshall be paid to Lessor, without abatement, deduction, offset, prior notice or<br \/>\ndemand, in lawful money of the United States at Lessor&#8217;s address for notices or<br \/>\nto such other person or at such other place as Lessor, from time to time, may<br \/>\ndesignate in writing.  If not paid within 10 days following the date when due,<br \/>\nall rental and any and all other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under any of<br \/>\nthe provisions of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due until paid at<br \/>\nthe rate of 10% per annum.  Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to<br \/>\nLessor of rental or such sums will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated<br \/>\nby this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and<br \/>\nimpracticable to fix.  Such costs include, without limitation, processing and<br \/>\naccounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Lessor by the terms<br \/>\nof any encumbrance and note secured by and encumbrance covering the Building<br \/>\nand\/or the Premises.  Therefore, if any installment of rental or other sum due<br \/>\nand payable by Lessee to Lessor is not paid to and received by Lessor within 10<br \/>\ndays following the date when due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum<br \/>\nof 5 percent of the overdue amount as a late charge.  The parties agree that<br \/>\nthis late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that<br \/>\nLessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.  Acceptance of any late<br \/>\ncharge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee&#8217;s default on the overdue amount,<br \/>\nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available<br \/>\nto Lessor.<\/p>\n<p>     4.   Use.  The Premises shall be used for general office purposes and no<br \/>\n          &#8212;<br \/>\nothers.  Lessee shall neither do or permit to be done in or about the Premises,<br \/>\nnor bring or permit to be brought or kept therein, anything which is prohibited<br \/>\nby or will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental<br \/>\nrule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or<br \/>\npromulgated, or which now or hereafter is prohibited by the standard form of<br \/>\nfire insurance policy, or will in any way increase the existing rate of or<br \/>\naffect any fire or any other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents,<br \/>\nor cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or any<br \/>\npart thereof or any of its contents.  Lessee, in its own respect and in respect<br \/>\nof its agents, servants and invitees, shall neither do nor permit anything to be<br \/>\ndone in or about the Premises or the Building or any part thereof which will in<br \/>\nany way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants of the Building<br \/>\n(including any noise audible or any vibrations observable from outside the<br \/>\nPremises), or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises or the Building<br \/>\nor any part thereof to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or<br \/>\nobjectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance<br \/>\nin, on or about the Premises or the Building or any portion thereof, or commit<br \/>\nor suffer to be committed any waste or damage in or about the Premises or the<br \/>\nBuilding or any portion thereof.  Lessee shall not permit any materials to be<br \/>\nplaced or stored in the common areas of the Building and shall not permit debris<br \/>\nto be placed therein, except in appropriate receptacles provided thereof.<br \/>\nLessee, its agents, <\/p>\n<p>                                       4<\/p>\n<p>servants and invitees shall have the right on a 24 hour per day &#8211; seven day per<br \/>\nweek basis during the term hereof, subject to compliance with Lessor&#8217;s security<br \/>\nprocedures, to the (a) non-exclusive use of the entrance lobby of the Building,<br \/>\nits passenger elevators, and the common area of the floor of the Building in<br \/>\nwhich the Premises are located, for purposes of ingress to and egress from the<br \/>\nPremises, and (b) the restrooms located on the floor of the Building in which<br \/>\nthe Premises are located, and (c) the exclusive use of the Premises.

However, if such failure lasts for thirty (30)<br \/>\nconsecutive days, Lessee shall have the option, upon written notice to Lessor,<br \/>\nto terminate this Lease. Lessor agrees to use its best efforts to restore such<br \/>\nservice as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>          (b) Extraordinary Services.  Lessee will not, without the prior<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nwritten consent of Lessor, use any apparatus or device in the Premises,<br \/>\nincluding without limitation electronic data processing machines, punch card<br \/>\nmachines and machines using current that will in any way increase the amount of<br \/>\nwater or air conditioning reasonably required for use of the Premises as general<br \/>\noffice space and in no event shall Lessee consume water or power in excess of<br \/>\nthe capacity of the existing Building systems; nor shall Lessee connect with<br \/>\nelectric current, except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises, or<br \/>\nwater pipes, any apparatus or device, for the purpose of using electric current<br \/>\nor water.

Lessor, as a condition of Lessor&#8217;s consent, may cause a water meter to<br \/>\nbe installed in the Premises, so as to measure the amount of water consumed.<br \/>\nThe cost of any such meter and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof<br \/>\nshall be paid by Lessee, and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor promptly upon demand<br \/>\nthereof by Lessor for all such water so used.  Unless and until Lessor installs<br \/>\nsuch separate meters, Lessee shall pay to Lessor promptly upon demand Lessor&#8217;s<br \/>\nreasonable estimate of the excess of the amount of water used by Lessee over<br \/>\nthat usually furnished or supplied by Lessor for use of the Premises as general<br \/>\noffice space and Lessor&#8217;s estimate based upon the independent judgment of<br \/>\nLessor&#8217;s engineer, the manufacturer of the equipment involved, or the utility<br \/>\nproviding the service shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon Lessee.<\/p>\n<p>     6.   Taxes Payable by Lessee.  In addition to the monthly rental and other<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\ncharges that are payable by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon<br \/>\ndemand for any and all taxes payable by Lessor (other than net income taxes)<br \/>\nwhether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto:<br \/>\n(a) upon, measured by, or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of<br \/>\nLessee&#8217;s equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located in<br \/>\nthe Premises or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to<br \/>\nthe Premises by or for Lessee, other than tenant improvements made and paid for<br \/>\nby Lessor hereunder, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be<br \/>\nin Lessee or Lessor; (b) upon or measured by the monthly rental payable<br \/>\nhereunder, including without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax<br \/>\nlevied by the United States Government, the State of California, any county, any<br \/>\ncity, or any other political subdivision of any of the foregoing with respect to<br \/>\nthe receipt of such rental; (c) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,<br \/>\noperation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by<br \/>\nLessee of the Premises or any portion thereof; (d) upon this transaction or any<br \/>\ndocument to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring an interest or an<br \/>\nestate in the Premises.  If it should not be lawful for Lessee to so reimburse<br \/>\nLessor, the monthly rental payable to Lessor under this Lease shall be revised<br \/>\nto net Lessor the same net rental after imposition of any such tax upon Lessor<br \/>\nas would have been payable to Lessor prior to the imposition of any such tax.<\/p>\n<p>     7.   Alterations, Additions or Improvements.  Excluding Lessee&#8217;s initial<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nTenant Improvements, Lessee shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations,<br \/>\nadditions, or <\/p>\n<p>                                       6<\/p>\n<p>improvements to or of the Premises or any part thereof, or attach any fixtures<br \/>\nor equipment thereto, without Lessor&#8217;s prior written consent, provided that<br \/>\nLessee from time to time, without Lessor&#8217;s prior written consent, may make<br \/>\nalterations, additions and improvements of an aggregate cost of $20,000<br \/>\n(excluding nevertheless any alterations and the like involving the Building<br \/>\nstructure or the Building systems). All such alterations, additions or<br \/>\nimprovements shall become Lessor&#8217;s property immediately and, at the end of the<br \/>\nterm hereof, shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Lessee unless<br \/>\nLessor elects by notice to Lessee, at the time approval is given, to have Lessee<br \/>\nremove the same, in which event Lessee shall promptly remove such alterations,<br \/>\nadditions or improvements and restore the Premises to their condition prior to<br \/>\nthe installation of such alterations, additions or improvements.<\/p>\n<p>     All alterations made by Lessee with the prior written consent of Lessor<br \/>\nshall be effected through the use of contractors approved by Lessor who shall<br \/>\nfurnish to Lessor upon demand such completion bonds and labor and material bonds<br \/>\nas Lessor may require so as to assure completion of such alterations, additions<br \/>\nor improvements on a lien-free basis (and the furnishing of the same shall not<br \/>\nrelieve Lessee of its obligation under Section 8 hereof).<\/p>\n<p>     8.   Liens.  Lessee shall keep the Premises and the Building free and clear<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nof and from any and all mechanics&#8217;, materialmen&#8217;s and other liens for work or<br \/>\nlabor done, services performed and for materials used or furnished in or about<br \/>\nthe Premises by or on behalf of Lessee.  Lessee at all times shall pay and<br \/>\ndischarge, promptly and fully, any and all claims upon which any such lien may<br \/>\nor could be based (provided that Lessee may contest any such claims or liens,<br \/>\nprovided that Lessee shall obtain and record a release bond with respect to any<br \/>\nrecorded mechanics lien in accordance with the provisions of California Code<br \/>\nSection 3143), and Lessee shall save and hold Lessor, the Premises and the<br \/>\nBuilding free and harmless of and from any and all such liens or claims of liens<br \/>\nor claims of liens or suits or other proceedings pertaining thereto.<\/p>\n<p>     9.   Repairs.  By entry hereunder, Lessee accepts the Premises as being in<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nthe condition in which Lessor is obligated to deliver the Premises.  Lessee, at<br \/>\nall times during the term hereof and at Lessee&#8217;s sole cost and expense, shall<br \/>\nkeep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, ordinary<br \/>\nwear and tear, damage thereto by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements<br \/>\nexcepted.  Lessee hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of<br \/>\nLessor or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided by California Civil<br \/>\nCode Section 1941 and 1942 or any other law, statute or ordinance now or<br \/>\nhereafter in effect.  Lessor has no obligation and has made no promise to alter,<br \/>\nremodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or any part thereof<br \/>\nexcept as specifically herein set forth in Exhibit B.  Except as specifically<br \/>\nset forth herein, Lessor has not made any representations respecting the<br \/>\ncondition of the Premises to Lessee.<\/p>\n<p>     Lessor, at Lessor&#8217;s sole cost and expense, agrees to maintain all<br \/>\nstructural portions of the Building, all systems servicing the Building and<br \/>\nPremises, including but not limited to HVAC, plumbing, electrical, elevators and<br \/>\nall common areas and all exterior portions of the Building.<\/p>\n<p>                                       7<\/p>\n<p>     10.

This Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that, if such<br \/>\ndamage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or<br \/>\nLessee&#8217;s employees or invitees, a proportional abatement of rental (based upon<br \/>\nsquare footage) shall be allowed Lessee for such part of the Premises as shall<br \/>\nbe rendered unusable by Lessee in the conduct of its business during the time<br \/>\nsuch part is so unusable.  Lessor&#8217;s determination that such repair may be made<br \/>\nwithin the Rebuilding Period shall not obligate Lessor to complete the same<br \/>\nwithin such period.<\/p>\n<p>     Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 10 to the contrary, if the<br \/>\nPremises have been rendered inaccessible or untenantable by the damage and the<br \/>\nPremises cannot be repaired to the condition that the Premises were in prior to<br \/>\nthe damage within 180 days after the date on which the damage has occurred,<br \/>\nLessee may, provided Lessee is not then in default under this Lease, by written<br \/>\nnotice to Lessor within 30 days after the damage, elect to terminate this Lease<br \/>\nas of the date of damage.  If there has been no termination of this Lease, such<br \/>\nrepairs and restoration shall be made.  A full destruction of the Building as<br \/>\ndetermined by Lessor will automatically terminate this Lease as of the date of<br \/>\ndestruction.  Upon any termination of this Lease under any provisions of this<br \/>\nSection, the parties will be released from any further obligations hereunder<br \/>\nexcept for any obligations which may have accrued prior to the damage or<br \/>\ndestruction.<\/p>\n<p>          (b) Repair.  If such repairs, in Lessor&#8217;s opinion, cannot be made<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nwithin the Rebuilding Period, Lessor may elect, upon notice to Lessee within 30<br \/>\ndays after the date of such fire or other casualty:  (i) to repair or restore<br \/>\nsuch damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect<br \/>\n(except that the rent shall be partially abated as hereinabove provided) and<br \/>\nLessor shall repair and restore such damage with reasonable diligence, or (ii)<br \/>\nto terminate this Lease, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the<br \/>\ndate of such fire or other casualty.<\/p>\n<p>          (c) Waiver.  Lessee waives California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n1933(4) providing for termination of hiring upon destruction of the thing hired.<\/p>\n<p>          (d) Costs of Repair.  If the Premises are to be repaired under this<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nSection, Lessor shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building<br \/>\nitself and the tenant improvements in the Premises paid for by Lessor hereunder.<br \/>\nLessee shall repair and pay the cost of repairing Lessee&#8217;s alterations, Lessee&#8217;s<br \/>\nimprovements, Lessee&#8217;s trade fixtures, Lessee&#8217;s personal property and any other<br \/>\ntenant improvements in the Premises and shall be responsible for carrying such<br \/>\ncasualty insurance as it deems appropriate with respect to such other tenant<br \/>\nimprovements.<\/p>\n<p>                                       8<\/p>\n<p>     11.

Each party shall provide the<br \/>\nother with a certificate or certificates of said policy or policies.  The amount<br \/>\nof insurance coverage provided for in this Section shall be increased from time<br \/>\nto time during the term hereof upon demand of the other party to the extent<br \/>\nreasonably required by circumstances then existing (including, but not limited<br \/>\nto increases in the cost of living as reflected in the Consumer Price Index<br \/>\npublished by the U.S. Department of Labor and increases in personal injury and<br \/>\nwrongful death judgments or awards in the City and County of San Francisco).<\/p>\n<p>          (b) Subrogation.  Each party shall obtain from its insurers under all<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\npolicies of fire, theft, public liability, worker&#8217;s compensation, and other<br \/>\ninsurance maintained by such party at any time during the term hereof insuring<br \/>\nor covering the Building or any portion thereof or operations therein, a waiver<br \/>\nof all rights of subrogation which the insurer might have against such party and<br \/>\nsuch party&#8217;s Lender.<\/p>\n<p>     12.  Indemnity.  Lessee covenants and agrees that Lessor shall not at any<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\ntime or to any extent whatsoever be liable, responsible or in anywise<br \/>\naccountable for any loss, injury, death or damage to persons or property which<br \/>\nat any time may be suffered or sustained by Lessee or by any person whosoever<br \/>\nmay at any time be using or occupying or visiting the Premises or be in, on or<br \/>\nabout the same, whether such loss, injury, death or damage shall be caused by or<br \/>\nin anyway result from or arise out of any act or omission of Lessor, Lessee or<br \/>\nof any occupant, subtenant, visitor or user of any portion of the Premises, or<br \/>\nshall result from or be caused by any other matter or thing whether of the same<br \/>\nkind as or of a different kind than the matters or things above set forth,<br \/>\nexcept to the extent caused by the Breach of this Lease by Lessor or the<br \/>\nnegligence or willful act of Lessor, its agents or employees, and Lessee shall<br \/>\nforever indemnify, defend, hold and save Lessor and Lessor&#8217;s Lender free and<br \/>\nharmless of, from and against any and all claims, liability, loss or damage<br \/>\nwhatsoever on account of any such loss, injury, death or damage, except to the<br \/>\nextent caused by the negligence or willful act of Lessor, its agents or<br \/>\nemployees.

For purposes hereof,<br \/>\n&#8220;assignment&#8221; shall include any proposed disposition or transfer, voluntary or<br \/>\ninvoluntary, or hypothecation; and where Lessee is a corporation or partnership,<br \/>\n&#8220;assignment&#8221; shall include a transfer of 25% or more of the equity interest<br \/>\ntherein (but shall exclude any transfer of the equity interest of any parent of<br \/>\nLessee).  Any of the foregoing acts without such consent of Lessor shall be void<br \/>\nand shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease.  This Lease shall not,<br \/>\nnor shall any interest herein, be transferable or assignable as to the interest<br \/>\nof Lessee by operation of law without the written consent of Lessor (except as<br \/>\nprovided by state or federal laws governing savings and loan associations).<br \/>\nSubject to the further provisions of the Section,<\/p>\n<p>     Lessor&#8217;s consent to any assignment or subletting of all or any part of the<br \/>\nPremises shall not be unreasonably withheld.<\/p>\n<p>     Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessee may<br \/>\nassign this Lease at any time, or sublease all or part of the Premises, with<br \/>\nwritten consent from Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or<br \/>\ndelayed, to any entity which acquires all or part of Lessee (by merger,<br \/>\nconsolidation or otherwise), or which is acquired in whole or in part by Lessee,<br \/>\nor which is controlled directly or indirectly by Lessee, or which is acquired in<br \/>\nwhole or in part by Lessee, or which is controlled directly or indirectly by<br \/>\nLessee, or which is under common control with Lessee, or which entity controls,<br \/>\ndirectly or indirectly, Lessee (an &#8220;Affiliate&#8221;), or which owns or is owned by<br \/>\nthe Affiliate.

Regardless of Lessor&#8217;s consent, no subletting<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nor assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee&#8217;s obligation or alter the primary<br \/>\nliability of Lessee to pay the rental and to perform all other obligations to be<br \/>\nperformed by Lessee hereunder.  The<\/p>\n<p>                                      11<\/p>\n<p>acceptance of rental by Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a<br \/>\nwaiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or<br \/>\nsubletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or<br \/>\nsubletting. In the event of default by any assignees of Lessee or any successor<br \/>\nof Lessee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed<br \/>\ndirectly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against<br \/>\nsuch assignee or successor. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or<br \/>\nsubletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with<br \/>\nassignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and<br \/>\nwithout obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve<br \/>\nLessee of liability under this Lease.<\/p>\n<p>          (e) Attorneys Fees.  If Lessee shall assign or sublet the Premises or<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nrequest the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting, or if Lessee<br \/>\nshall request the consent of Lessor for any act that Lessee proposes to do, then<br \/>\nLessee shall pay Lessor&#8217;s reasonable attorneys&#8217; fees, not to exceed $2,000.00,<br \/>\nincurred in connection therewith.<\/p>\n<p>          (f) Conflicting Provisions.  The provisions of this Section shall<br \/>\n              &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nprevail and govern over any conflicting provision in any assignment or<br \/>\nsubletting to which Lessor gives written consent.  Any modification of the terms<br \/>\nof this Lease as between Lessee and Sublessee shall be void and will not be<br \/>\nbinding on the Lessor.<\/p>\n<p>     15.  Rules.  Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nregulations annexed to this Lease and, after notice thereof, all reasonable<br \/>\nmodifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time promulgated in<br \/>\nwriting by Lessor.  Lessor shall not be responsible to Lessee for the<br \/>\nnonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of said<br \/>\nrules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>     16.

Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or<br \/>\ninconvenience to or interference with Lessee&#8217;s business, any loss of occupancy<br \/>\nor quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry.<br \/>\nLessor shall at all times have and retain keys with which to unlock all of the<br \/>\ndoors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Lessee&#8217;s vaults, safes and similar<br \/>\nareas designated in writing by Lessee and approved by Lessor in advance); and<br \/>\nLessor shall have the right to use any and all means which Lessor may deem<br \/>\nproper to open such doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the<br \/>\nPremises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Lessor by any of said means,<br \/>\nor otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a<br \/>\nforcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction,<br \/>\nactual or constructive, of Lessee from the Premises, or any portion thereof.<\/p>\n<p>                                      12<\/p>\n<p>     17.  Events of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nevents (an &#8220;Event of Default&#8221;) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by<br \/>\nLessee:  (a) if Lessee shall fail to pay any rent when and as the same becomes<br \/>\ndue and payable; or (b) if Lessee shall fail to pay any other sum when and as<br \/>\nthe same becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for more than<br \/>\n10 days after written notice to Lessee or (c) if Lessee shall default in the<br \/>\nperformance or observance of any other term hereof or of the rules and<br \/>\nregulations described in Section 15 to be performed or observed by Lessee, and<br \/>\nwithin 30 days following written notice from Lessor to Lessee, Lessee shall have<br \/>\nfailed to completely cure such default, or if the nature of such default is such<br \/>\nthat it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 day period, Lessee shall not<br \/>\nwithin such 30 day period have commenced with prompt diligence the curing of<br \/>\nsuch default, or, having so commenced, shall thereafter have failed to prosecute<br \/>\nwith prompt diligence the complete curing of such default; or (d) if Lessee<br \/>\nshall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in<br \/>\nwriting its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall file a<br \/>\npetition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or as insolvent, or<br \/>\nshall file a petition in any proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement,<br \/>\ncomposition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any<br \/>\npresent or future statute, law, or regulation, or shall file an answer<br \/>\nadmitting, or fail to protest timely the material allegations of a petition<br \/>\nfiled against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or<br \/>\nacquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator of Lessee<br \/>\nor any material part of its properties; or (e) if within 30 days after the<br \/>\ncommencement of any proceeding against Lessee seeking any reorganization,<br \/>\narrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar<br \/>\nrelief under any present or future statute, law, or regulation, such proceeding<br \/>\nshall not have been dismissed, or if, within 30 days after the appointment<br \/>\nwithout the consent or acquiescence of Lessee, of any trustee, receiver, or<br \/>\nliquidator of Lessee or of any material part of its properties, such appointment<br \/>\nshall not have been vacated; or (f) if this Lease or any estate of Lessee<br \/>\nhereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such<br \/>\nattachment or execution is not vacated within 30 days; or (g) if Lessee shall<br \/>\nabandon or surrender the Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or<br \/>\notherwise, or shall vacate or fail to take possession of the Premises.<\/p>\n<p>     18.  Lessor&#8217;s Right to Terminate.  If an Event of Default shall occur,<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nLessor at any time thereafter may give a written termination notice to Lessee,<br \/>\nand on the date specified in such notice (which shall be not less than three<br \/>\ndays after the giving of such notice) Lessee&#8217;s right to possession shall<br \/>\nterminate, unless on or before such date all delinquent rent and all other sums<br \/>\npayable by Lessee under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on<br \/>\nbehalf of Lessor hereunder shall have been paid by Lessee and all other breaches<br \/>\nof this Lease by Lessee at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to<br \/>\nthe satisfaction of Lessor.  Lessor may remove all persons and property located<br \/>\ntherein and store such property in a public warehouse for the account and risk<br \/>\nand at the expense of Lessee.  Lessor may do all things Lessor deems necessary<br \/>\nin order to relet the Premises, including, without limitation any alterations,<br \/>\nrepair and\/or restoration of the Premises.  Upon such termination, Lessor may<br \/>\nrecover from Lessee:  (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rental<br \/>\nwhich had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of<br \/>\naward of the amount by which the unpaid rental which would have been earned<br \/>\nafter termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss<br \/>\nthat Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time<br \/>\nof award of the<\/p>\n<p>                                      13<\/p>\n<p>amount by which the unpaid rental for the balance of the term of this Lease<br \/>\nafter the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee<br \/>\nproves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to<br \/>\ncompensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee&#8217;s failure<br \/>\nto perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of<br \/>\nthings would be likely to result therefrom. The &#8220;worth at the time of award&#8221; of<br \/>\nthe amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing<br \/>\ninterest at the highest rate legally permitted under applicable law. The &#8220;worth<br \/>\nat the time of award&#8221; of the amount referred to in clause (c) above is computed<br \/>\nby discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of<br \/>\nSan Francisco at the time of award plus 1% (one percent). Notwithstanding any<br \/>\nother provisions hereof, any efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by<br \/>\nLessee&#8217;s breach of this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor&#8217;s right to<br \/>\nrecover damages hereunder and shall not affect the right of Lessor to<br \/>\nindemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 hereof.<\/p>\n<p>     19.  Continuous Notwithstanding Default.  Even though Lessee has breached<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nthis Lease and abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for<br \/>\nso long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee&#8217;s right to possession, and Lessor<br \/>\nmay enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to<br \/>\nrecover the rental as it becomes due under this Lease.  Acts of maintenance or<br \/>\npreservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver<br \/>\nupon the initiative of Lessor to protect Lessor&#8217;s interest under this Lease<br \/>\nshall not constitute a termination of Lessee&#8217;s right to possession.<\/p>\n<p>     20.  Additional Remedies.  The remedies provided for in this Lease are in<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\naddition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity by<br \/>\nstatute or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>     21.  Lessor&#8217;s Right to Cure Defaults.  All agreements and provisions to be<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nperformed by Lessee under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at its sole<br \/>\ncost and expense and without any abatement of rental.  If Lessee shall fail to<br \/>\npay any sum of money, other than rental, required to be paid by it hereunder, or<br \/>\nshall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder and<br \/>\nsuch failure shall continue for 10 days after notice thereof by Lessor, Lessor<br \/>\nmay, but shall not be obligated to do so, and without waiving or releasing<br \/>\nLessee from any obligations of Lessee, make any such payment or perform any such<br \/>\nother act on Lessee&#8217;s part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided.<br \/>\nAll sums so paid by Lessor and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed<br \/>\nadditional rent hereunder and shall be payable to Lessor on demand, and Lessor<br \/>\nshall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Lessor) the same rights<br \/>\nand remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof by Lessee as in the case of<br \/>\ndefault by Lessee in the payment of rental.<\/p>\n<p>     22.  Attorneys&#8217; Fees.  If as a result of any breach or default in the<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nperformance of any of the provisions of this Lease, Lessor uses the services of<br \/>\nan attorney in order to secure compliance with such provisions or recover<br \/>\ndamages thereof, or to terminate this Lease or evict Lessee, Lessee shall<br \/>\nreimburse Lessor upon demand for any and all attorneys&#8217; fees and expenses so<br \/>\nincurred by Lessor, provided that if Lessee shall be the prevailing party in any<br \/>\nlegal action brought by Lessor against Lessee, Lessee shall be entitled to<br \/>\nrecover for the fees of its attorneys in such amount as the court may adjudge<br \/>\nreasonable.<\/p>\n<p>                                      14<\/p>\n<p>     23.  Eminent Domain.  If any part of the Premises shall be taken as a<br \/>\n          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nresult of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall<br \/>\nterminate as to the part of the Premises so taken as of the date of taking, and<br \/>\neither Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the<br \/>\nbalance of the Premises remaining after a partial taking by written notice to<br \/>\nthe other within 30 days after such date, provided, however, that a condition to<br \/>\nthe exercise by Lessee of such right to terminate shall be that such partial<br \/>\ntaking shall be to such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede,<br \/>\nor impair the conduct of Lessee&#8217;s business therein.  If all of the Premises are<br \/>\ntaken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease<br \/>\nshall terminate upon the date of taking.  If any part of the Building (other<br \/>\nthan the Premises) shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of<br \/>\neminent domain, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written<br \/>\nnotice to Lessee within 30 days from the date of such taking; in the event that<br \/>\nLessor does not so elect, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,<br \/>\nprovided that Lessee is afforded continuous access to the Premises.<\/p>\n<p>     Lessor shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income,<br \/>\nrent, awards, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in<br \/>\nconnection with any exercise of the power of eminent domain, and Lessee shall<br \/>\nhave no claim, against Lessor for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease<br \/>\nor otherwise.
