Thirty-ninth:  Lessee covenants that it will not use, suffer, or permit any person to use the demised premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose in violation of the laws of the United States of America, State of California, ordinances, regulations, and requirements of the City of Los Angeles at the County of Los Angeles, or other lawful authorities; and that during said term, the demised premises and every part thereof shall be kept by Lessee in a clean and wholesome condition and that all health and police regulations.  In all respects and at all times, shall be fully complied with by the Lessee and also that all areas contiguous to the demised premises shall be kept by Lessee, safe and secure and conformable to the requirements of the City of Los Angeles and Lessor kept harmless and indemnified at all times against the loss, damage, cost, or expense by reason of a failure so to do in any respect or by reason of any accident, loss, or damage resulting to person or persons or property by reason of any use which may be made of said premises by Lessee and all persons holding or using said premises under or through Lessee or by Lessee’s sufferance or consent.

Forty-first:  Assignment, Subletting, Etc.  Lessee shall not assign this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the demised premises or any portion thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person (the employees of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the demised premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Lessor; and the consent to one assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupancy or use by any other person.  Any such assignment, subletting occupancy of use without Lessor’s prior written consent shall be void and, at Lessor’s option, shall terminate this Lease.  Neither this Lease nor any interest therein shall be assignment by operation at law, as to Lessee’s interest, without Lessor’s prior written consent.  If Lessee shall have obtained Lessor’s prior written consent to either assignment, or subleasing, then any rental premium or other consideration paid by such assignee, or sublessee, in excess of the rental provided by this Lease, shall be for the benefit of and shall be immediately paid to Lessor.  In any event, Lessor’s consent to any assignment of subleasing, shall not relieve Lessee from any obligation under this Lease.  In the event that Lessee is a corporation, the hereinafter named majority stockholder(s) shall not transfer, sell, assign, or hypothecate their stock or voting power in said corporation without prior consent of Lessor.  A change in ownership, whether voluntary, by operation of law, or otherwise, of fifty percent or more of the capital stock of Lessee, if Lessee is a corporation, shall at the option of Lessor, be deemed an assignment prohibited hereby.

 

Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s reasonable costs incurred in connection with the processing and documentation of any such requested assignment, subletting, transfer, change of ownership, or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee’s interest in and to the Premises.

 

If Lessee desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises of any portion thereof, it shall first notify Lessor of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Lessor (i) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s business to be carried on in the Premises: (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment; (iv) such reasonable financial information as Lessor may request concerning the proposed subtenant within thirty (30) days of the proposed subletting; (v) agreement of assignee to assume, pay or perform the obligations of the Lease; and (vi) the purpose clause shall be limited to the same purpose as are set forth in respect to Lessee.

 

Forty-second:  It is agreed that electric lighting, electric light bulbs, power and utility units, air-conditioning equipment, and attached fixtures, whether installed or provided by Lessor or Lessee and the replacement thereof, are and shall be the property of the Lessor and may not be removed by the Lessee upon any termination of the Lease from any cause.  The Lessee shall maintain at its expense all the foregoing in good condition, replacement and repair during the term of the lease.

 

Forty-third Lessee shall pay N.A.% of the total tax bill of the BUILDING and land of which the premises are a part.  Said payment shall be due upon demand and statement given by Lessor to Lessee.  If the Lessee is in possession of the leased premises for less than any full year, the Lessee will pay for that period the proportionate amount of the total taxes as his fractional tenancy bears to a full year.  (The tax amount is    -0-     )

 

Forty-fourth:  Late charges.  Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee in Lessor of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor 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, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the premises.  Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any sum due from Lessee shall not received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within five (5) days after said amount is past due, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to the maximum amount permitted by law (and in the absence of any governing law, ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount), plus any attorney’s fees incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee’s failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder.  The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur by reason of the late payment by Lessee.  Acceptance of such late charges by the Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

This provision shall not be construed to relieve Lessee from any default hereunder arising through the failure on the part of Lessee to make any payment at the time and in the manner herein specified.

 

Forty-fifth:  Waiver.  The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenants, or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

 

Forty-sixth:  Security Deposit.  Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof $ 8,770.00**

 


**                                  The security deposit shall increase to equal two month gross rental, when the new rate goes into effect-per addendum -page 6.

 

as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder.  If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee’s default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss of damage which Lessor may suffer thereby.  If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated and Lessee’s failure to do so shall be material breach of this Lease.  Lessor shall not be required to keep said deposit separate from its general accounts.  If Lessee performs all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use to Lessee (or, at Lessor’s option, to the last assignee, if any, or Lessee’s interest hereunder) fourteen (14) days after the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the Premises, in broom-swept and good condition and repair.

 

Forty-seventh:  Substitution of Lease.  The parties hereto agree that the Lessor at its option, may during the term of this Lease of any renewals or extensions thereof, move the Lessee to another location within the building of which the demised premises are a part.  On the effective date of such substitution, this Lease shall cease and terminate as to the above-described premises and become effective as to the substituted space for the same as though this lease had originally covered the substituted space only.  Lessee’s failure to comply with each and all of the provisions hereof from and after the date set forth in a twenty (20) day notice of such substitution, shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

 

Forty ninth:  CPI.  The minimum monthly net rent shall be adjusted upward (only) as of the 1st day of December – per addendum on page 6 of each year (the adjustment date), beginning in the year 2003, according to the following computations:

 

The base for computing the adjustment is the index figure for the month of November (the index claim) as shown in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Items Urban Consumers Los Angeles — Long Beach Area based on the period 1967 equals 100, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.  The base figure for the index date is  *  .

 

The index for the adjustment date shall be computed as a percentage of the base figure.  For example, assuming the base figure on the index date in 173 and the index figure on the adjustment date is 190.3, the percentage to be applied is 190.3 + 173 - 1.10 or 110% .The percentage shall be applied to the initial minimum monthly net rental for the period beginning on the adjustment date and continuing until the next adjustment date (being one year from the previous adjustment date).

 

The index for the adjustment date shall be the one reported in the U.S. Department of Labor’s most comprehensive official index, then in use and most nearly answering the foregoing description of the index to be used.  If it is calculated from a base different that the base period 1967 equals 100, use for the base figure above,  the base figure used for calculating the adjustment percentage shall first be converted under a formula supplied by the Bureau.

 

If the described index no longer is being published, another generally recognized as authoritative shall be substituted by agreement of the parties.  If they are unable to agree within ten (10) days after demand by either party, shall be selected by the chief officer of the San Francisco regional office of the Bureau of Labor Statistics or its successor.**

 


*                         Insert true base figure when obtained. (Base figure for September 2000 was 173.3

**                  The CPI shall be adjusted upward only commencing on per addendum on page 6

 

The increase is to be in no event less than Seven Percent (7%).  (In addition to the rental payment) of the rental payment due for
