ARTICLE 3
RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
3.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior written or oral demand in advance on the first day of each calendar month, as base monthly rent, the amount set forth as Base Monthly Rent in Article 1
3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (the Additional Rent) Tenants Proportionate Share of all Building Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13). Payment shall be made by one of the following methods: Landlord may bill to Tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently than monthly, Tenants Proportionate Share of such expenses (or group of expenses) as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay such share of such expenses within ten days after receipt of a written bill therefore from Landlord; and/or Landlord may budget the annual projected expenses and bill to Tenant on a monthly basis, one-twelfth of the annual amount. If Landlord elects the latter of the alternatives, Landlord shall reconcile the budgeted amounts with the actual amounts on an annual basis during the first quarter of the subsequent year and bill Tenant for any additional amounts or credit Tenant any overpayments against future Additional Rent amounts.
3.3 LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST ON RENT IN DEFAULT: Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expense not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. If any installment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within six calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to ten percent of the amounts due and not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated loss Landlord would suffer by reason of Tenants failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenants failure to pay each rental installment due under this Lease when due. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of six calendar days, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said sixth day at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited by Law until paid.
3.4 PAYMENT OF RENT: All rent shall be paid without any abatement, deduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenants obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.
3.5 SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall immediately deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the Security Deposit as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent; (ii) to repair damage to the Leased Promises caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean and repair the Leased Promises following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2; and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenants behalf any sums claimed by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenants request to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Building during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the California Civil Code, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.

If Tenant shall breach this Covenant of Good Faith, Landlord may immediately declare Tenant to be in default under the terms of this Lease and terminate this Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies Landlord would have under the terms of this Lease in the case of a material default by Tenant under this Lease.

On demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlords property, the Building or the Project, or if the assessed value of the Building or the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
- 12 -
placed upon same, then Landlord, after giving written notice to Tenant, shall have the right, regardless of the validity thereof, to pay such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge and bill Tenant, as Additional Rent, the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid on Tenants behalf. Tenant shall, within ten days from the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so levied, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in said invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within said ten day period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right, and with Landlords full cooperation if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid.
13.2 HOLDING OVER: This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over after the expiration of the Lease shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the Leased Premises unless Landlord has consented to same in writing. Any holding over by Tenant with written permission of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terns and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such period of holding over.
13.3 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES: This Lease is subject and subordinate to all underlying ground leases and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Building and are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.

Tenant hereby consents to Landlords ground leasing the land underlying the Building and/or encumbering the Building as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any Lender holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deal of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten days after Landlords written request therefore, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments (including but not limited to the enclosed Exhibit D) as requested by Landlord or such lessor or lender as may be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust; but only if such lessor or Lender agrees to recognize Tenants rights under this Lease and not to disturb Tenants quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenants failure to execute and deliver such subordination agreement within ten days after Landlords request therefore shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and sue for damages proximately caused thereby, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenants failure to so deliver such subordination agreement in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Project, or any interest therein.
13.4 TENANTS ATTORNMENT UPON FORECLOSURE: Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deal given in lieu of foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building, or (iii) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building, should such ground lease be terminated; provided that such purchaser, grantee or lessor recognizes tenants rights under this Lease.
13.5 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION: In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease who shall have requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.
13.6 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Tenant will, following any request(s) by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenants knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenants failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten days after Landlords request therefore shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and sue for damages proximately caused thereby, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenants failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Project, or any interest therein.

In the event that Landlord shall be required to retain counsel to enforce any provision of this Lease; or if Tenant defaults under this Lease and thereafter cures (or desires to cure) such default with Landlords consent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord promptly upon demand. Landlord may enforce this provision by requiring Tenant to pay such fees and costs as a condition to curing its default.

RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND
WHEN RECORDED RETURN TO:
SUBORDINATION,
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
NOTICE: | THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT RESULTS IN YOUR LEASEHOLD ESTATE IN THE PROPERTY BECOMING SUBJECT TO AND OF LOWER PRIORITY THAN THE LIEN OF SOME OTHER OR LATER SECURITY INSTRUMENT. |
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and among Tenant, Landlord, and Beneficiary and affects the Property described in Exhibit A attached hereto. The terms Tenant, Landlord, Beneficiary, Premises, Lease, Property, Loan, Note, and Mortgage are defined in the Schedule of Definitions attached hereto as Exhibit B. This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts:
A. Landlord and Tenant have entered into the Lease covering the Premises in the Property.
B. Beneficiary has agreed to make the Loan to Landlord to be evidenced by the Note, which Note is to be secured by the Mortgage covering the Property, provided that the Lease is subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage.
C. For the purposes of completing the Loan, the parties hereto desire expressly to subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Mortgage, it being a condition precedent to Beneficiarys obligation to consummate the Loan that the lien of the Mortgage be unconditionally and at all times prior and superior to the leasehold interests and estates created by the Lease.
D. Tenant has requested that Beneficiary agree not to disturb Tenants possessory rights in the Premises in the event Beneficiary should foreclose the Mortgage; provided that Tenant is not then in default under the Lease and provided further that Tenant attorns to Beneficiary or the purchaser at any foreclosure or trustees sale of the Property.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, the Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby and all of Tenants rights thereunder shall be and shall at all times remain subject, subordinate and inferior to the Mortgage and the lien thereof, and all rights of Beneficiary thereunder and to any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
2 Acknowledgment and Agreement by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Beneficiary would not make the Loan without this Agreement;
EXHIBIT C
(b) It consents to the Mortgage and the agreements evidencing and securing the Loan; and
(c) Beneficiary, in making any disbursements to Landlord, is under no obligation or duty to oversee or direct the application of the proceeds of such disbursements, and such proceeds may be used by Landlord for purposes other than improvement of the Property.
(d) From and after the date hereof, in the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of time, to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant will not exercise any such right:
(i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Beneficiary; and
(ii) until the same period of time as is given to Landlord under the Lease to cure such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice to Beneficiary and following the time when Beneficiary shall have become entitled under the Mortgage to remedy the same.
(e) It has notice that the Lease and the rent and all other sums due thereunder have been assigned or are to be assigned to Beneficiary as security for the Loan secured by the Mortgage. In the event that Beneficiary notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Beneficiary, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Beneficiary or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice.
(f) It shall send a copy of any notice or statement under the Lease to Beneficiary at the same time such notice or statement is sent to Landlord.
(g) It has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and is hereby waived and released as against Beneficiary.
(h) This Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement.
3. Foreclosure and Sale. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or upon a sale of the Property pursuant to the trustees power of sale contained therein, or upon a transfer of the Property by conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, then:
