The term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date. 2.3. Delay in Commencement. 2.3.1 Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage incurred by Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date. Landlord's non-delivery of the Premises to Tenant on that date shall not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. -6- <PAGE> 12 2.3.2 Landlord and Tenant shall, upon the occurrence of the Commencement Date, confirm the same in writing promptly by specifying the Commencement Date in a document which shall be executed by an authorized representative of the Tenant and Landlord. 2.4. Early Occupancy. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

Monthly Rent for any portion of a month shall be prorated on a thirty (30) day month basis, based on the number of days in such a partial month that this Lease is in effect. 3.2. Additional Rent. -7- <PAGE> 13 3.2.3. 3.2.4. 3.2.5. 3.2.6. Tenants's Taxes. Tenant shall be responsible for, and agrees to pay as Additional Rent, prior to delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed upon Tenant's equipment, furniture, trade fixtures, Tenant Improvements and personal property located within, upon or about the Premises and on the leasehold interest of Tenant. If any personal property of Tenant shall be taxed with the Building, then Tenant shall pay Landlord all such taxes, based upon Landlord's review of the tax assessor worksheets or from such other information as may be reasonably available to Landlord, which determination shall be binding on Tenant, within ten (10) business days after delivery to Tenant of a statement setting forth the amount of such taxes. 3.3. Interest and Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Monthly Rent and/or any other sum due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs, 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 on Landlord. Accordingly, if any payment of Monthly Rent and/or any other sum due hereunder from Tenant is not received by Landlord or Landlord's designee when due, it shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law from the due date to the date of payment. In addition, in the event any such amount is not paid within five (5) days after the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that the amount of such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost and expenses that would be incurred by Landlord 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 shall such acceptance prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder or by law. 3.4. Security Deposit. Upon Tenant's execution of this Lease and delivery to Landlord, Tenant will deposit with Landlord in the form of cash currency of the United States or cashier's or certified check the sum specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security ("Security Deposit") for the full and faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for payment of any Rent in default, -8- <PAGE> 14 or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a breach of this Lease. No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. As a condition to any assignment of this Lease, Landlord may require an increase in the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully perform every provision of this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant or, the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Lease Term and upon Tenant's vacation of the Premises. In the event of any transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter Landlord shall be released by Tenant from all liability or obligation for the return of the Security Deposit. 3.5. Advance Rent. The amount specified in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions is paid herewith to Landlord upon execution of this Lease as advance rent, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged; provided, however, that such amount shall be held by Landlord as additional security pursuant to Section 3.4. above until it is applied by Landlord to the first Monthly Rent due hereunder. 3.6. Disputed Sums. Under the terms of this Lease numerous charges are and way be due from Tenant to Landlord as Monthly Rent and Additional Rent including, without limitation, Common Area charges, Property Taxes, insurance reimbursements and advances made by Landlord in respect of Tenant's default at Landlord's option. In the event that at any time during the lease term there is a bona fide dispute between the parties as to the amount due for any of such charges or any other charge claimed by Landlord to be due, the amount demanded by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant until the resolution of the dispute between the parties or by litigation. Failure by Tenant to pay the disputed sums until resolution shall constitute a default under the terms of the Lease. ARTICLE 4 USE OF PREMISES 4.1. Permitted Use.

The purpose of this Lease is to transfer possession of the Premises to Tenant for Tenant's personal use in return for certain benefits, including Rent, to be transferred to the Landlord. Tenant's right to assign or sublet as stated in this Article is subsidiary and incidental to the underlying purpose of this Lease.

If Tenant is a corporation which is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, or Tenant consists of more than one party, the transfer, assignment or -19- <PAGE> 25 hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, partnership or ownership interest, in the aggregate in excess of twenty-five percent (25%), shall be deemed a Transfer of the Premises. 10.3. No Transfer Without Consent. Tenant shall not suffer a Transfer of the Premises or any interest therein, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto without the prior written consent of Landlord, and a consent to one Transfer of the Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer of the Premises. Any Transfer of the Premises without such written consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. 10.4 When Consent Granted. (a) The consent of Landlord to a Transfer may not be unreasonably withheld, provided should Landlord withhold its consent for any of the following reasons, which list is not exclusive, such withholding shall be deemed to be reasonable: (i) Financial strength of the proposed transferee is not at least equal to that of Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease; (ii) A proposed transferee whose occupation of the Premises would cause a diminution in the reputation of the Building or the other businesses located therein; (iii) A proposed transferee whose impact on the Common Areas or the other occupants of the building would be disadvantageous; or (iv) A proposed transferee whose occupancy will require any variation in the terms and conditions of this Lease. (b) Tenant agrees that its personal business skills and philosophy were an important inducement to Landlord for entering into this Lease and that Landlord may reasonably object to the Transfer of the Premises to another whose proposed use, while permitted by this Lease, would involve a different quality, manner or type of business skills than that of Tenant. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, but upon prior written notice to Landlord, to assign this Lease to a company incorporated or to be incorporated by Tenant provided that Tenant owns or beneficially controls all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the company. 10.5. Procedure for Obtaining Consent. (a) Landlord need not commence its review of any proposed Transfer, or respond to any request by Tenant with respect to such, unless and until it has received from Tenant adequate descriptive information concerning the business to be conducted by the proposed transferee, the transferee's financial capacity, and such other information as may reasonably be required in order to form a prudent judgment as to the acceptability of the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, the following: (i) The past two years' Federal Income Tax returns of the proposed transferee (or in the alternative the past two years audited annual Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss statements, certified correct by a Certified Public Accountant); (ii) Banking references of the proposed transferee; -20- <PAGE> 26 (iii) Written statements concerning the business background and experience of the proposed transferee; (iv) At least five (5) business and three (3) personal references for the proposed transferee; (v) An executed copy of the instrument by which Tenant proposes to effectuate the Transfer.

(c) No Transfer, whether or not consent of Landlord is required hereunder, shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation to pay the Monthly Rent and other charges required by this Lease and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Monthly Rent and other charges by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer of the Premises. (d) If Landlord consents to a sublease, such sublease shall not extend beyond the expiration of the term of this Lease. (e) No Transfer shall be valid and no transferee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof unless, within ten (10) days after the execution of the documentary evidence thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duly executed duplicate original of the Transfer instrument in form satisfactory to Landlord which provides that: (i) the transferee assumes Tenant's obligations for the payment Monthly Rent and all other charges required by this Lease and for the full and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions contained herein; (ii) such transferee will, at Landlord's election, attorn directly to Landlord in the event Tenant's Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms set forth in the instrument of Transfer; and (iii) such instrument of Transfer contains such other assurances as Landlord reasonably deems necessary. 10.7.

Within sixty (60) days after notice of such election has been given to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate as to the entire or portion of the Premises recaptured. If only a portion of the Premises is recaptured, Rent and any other charges due under this Lease shall be proportionately reduced. If Landlord does not elect to recapture, Tenant may proceed with the Transfer of the Premises, provided that Landlord consents thereto pursuant to this Article, and provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease. 10.8. Liability. Notwithstanding any assignment, sublease or other Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Consent to one Transfer is not a consent to any subsequent Transfer. If Tenant's transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord's general partners, officers, shareholders and employees harmless with respect to all costs (including attorneys' fees expended by Landlord in connection with) and liability for compensation claimed by any broker or agent in connection with any assignment, subletting or other Transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease.

If said repairs cannot be completed within said 120 Day Completion Period, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice ("Landlord's Notice") thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease but the damage or destruction cannot be completed within the 120 Day Completion Period, Landlord shall deliver written notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of the damage or destruction and if, as a result of such damage the Premises are rendered unsuitable for the purpose for which the Premises were leased, as mutually by Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall also have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of its election to terminate the Lease within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of Landlord's Notice. The failure of Tenant to deliver written notice of its election to terminate this Lease within said fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to be Tenant's election not to terminate this Lease. Until such repairs are completed, the Rent may be reduced pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.3 of this Lease. 11.2. Uninsured Casualty. If there is damage or destruction to the Premises and/or Building and such repairs will cost more than the available insurance proceeds, or there are no insurance proceeds, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days of the date of the damage or destruction. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease but the restoration of the Building and/or Premises cannot, in Landlord's reasonable determination, be completed during the 120 Day Completion Period and, as a result of such damage, the Premises are rendered unsuitable for the purpose for which the Premises were leased, as mutually determined by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant accordingly and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of Landlord's notice to elect to terminate the Lease and deliver notice thereof to landlord. The failure of Tenant to deliver said notice shall be deemed to be -22- <PAGE> 28 Tenant's election to not terminate the Lease and thereafter this Lease shall continue in effect and the Rent my be reduced pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.3 below. 11.3. Temporary Reduction of Rent. If the Premises are destroyed or damaged and Landlord repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Article, any Rent payable during the period of such repair shall be reduced by the amount paid to Landlord under any business interruption insurance and/or rental interruption insurance. Except for such possible reduction in payments required from the Tenant, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reduction or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair or restoration of or to the Premises. 11.4. Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds of any insurance maintained by Tenant or Landlord upon the Premises (including insurance for the Tenant Improvements) shall be used to pay for the repairs made, to the extent that repairs are made pursuant to this Article 11. If pursuant to this Article 11 repairs are not made, the insurance proceeds shall be payable to the parties as their interests may appear. As to any insurance maintained by Tenant on Tenant's own personal property, the proceeds of such insurance shall be the property of Tenant. 11.5. Tenant's Property. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's own property and, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or to replace the same. If Landlord is obligated to or elects to make any repairs to the Premises pursuant to Section 11.1, upon completion of such repairs, Tenant shall restore and repair any damage to the Tenant's own property. Such restoration and repair by Tenant shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall be completed as promptly as practical in a lawful and workmanlike manner. 11.6. Waiver. Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code or judicial decision which grants a tenant the right to terminate a lease in the event of damage or destruction of the premises, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 1932(2) and 1933(3) of the Civil Code or any successor statute or law. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event of any damage or destruction of the Premises. Further, in event of a casualty occurring during the last two (2) years of the Initial Lease Term hereof or of any extension, Landlord need not undertake any repairs and may cancel this Lease unless Tenant has the right under the terms of this Lease to extend the Lease Term for an additional period of at least five (5) years and does so within thirty (30) days of the date of the casualty. 11.7. Landlord's Election. In the event that the Building in which the Premises is situated is destroyed to the extent of not less than thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not, in the same manner as in Section 11.1 above. A total destruction of the Building of which the Premises forms a part, or the Premises itself, shall terminate this Lease. ARTICLE 12 CONDEMNATION 12.1. Substantial or Total Taking. In case the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, as determined by Landlord and Tenant, shall be taken by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date -23- <PAGE> 29 possession is required to be surrendered to said authority or the date the condemning authority takes title to the Premises, whichever is earlier, except as provided herein. In the event the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall not substantially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award and shall promptly proceed to restore the affected premises to as near its former condition as reasonably possible using that portion of the condemnation award attributable to such restoration costs, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking and restoration. If the severance damages received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay for such repair, Landlord shall have the right to either terminate this Lease or make such repair at Landlord's expenses. Nothing contained in this Section 12.1 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority. 12.2. Temporary Taking. No temporary taking of the Premises and/or of Tenant's rights therein or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to any abatement of Rent hereunder. ARTICLE 13 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 13.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material event of default ("Event of Default") and breach of this Lease by Tenant: 13.1.1. Vacation or Abandonment. If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises for more than ten (10) consecutive days; 13.1.2. Failure to Pay. If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant, as and when due; 13.1.3. Failure to Perform. If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant's nonmonetary obligations under this Lease for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord; provided that if more than ten (10) days is required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such performance within the ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion. However, Landlord shall not be required to give such written notice if Tenant's failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach of this Lease. 13.1.4. Other Defaults. (a) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (b) if a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (c) if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (d) if substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within thirty (30) days. -24- <PAGE> 30 If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described in this Subsection is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant's interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the difference between the Rent (or any other consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease and the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder. 13.2. Landlord's Remedies. On the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant and at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have, Landlord shall be entitled to the rights and remedies set forth below: 13.2.1. Termination of Possession. Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. 13.2.2. Reentry and Removal. In such event Landlord shall have the immediate right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter and remove all persons and property; and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. 13.2.3. Damages. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including: (a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and any other charges due under this Lease which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other charges due under this Lease which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds that portion of such rental loss which Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other charges due under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss which Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligation under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition required in Article 6 of this Lease; plus (e) 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 Subsections 13.2.3.(a) and (b) above, "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by applying interest at the maximum rate allowed by law. As used in Subsection 13.2.3.(c) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1) percentage point. -25- <PAGE> 31 13.2.4. No Termination; Recovery of Rent. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section, then Landlord may, from time to time, recover all unpaid Rent and all Rent and any other charges as they become due under this Lease. At any time thereafter, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and recover damages to which Landlord is entitled. 13.2.5. Reletting the Premises. In the event that Landlord should elect to reenter as provided in Subsection 13.2.2. above and to relet the Premises, it may execute any new lease in its own name. Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any proceeds from such lease. The proceeds of any such reletting shall be applied as follows: (a) First, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, including but not limited to storage charges or brokerage commissions owing from Tenant to Landlord as the result of such reletting; (b) Second, to the payment of the costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including alterations and repairs which Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary and advisable and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the retaking of the Premises and such reletting; (c) Third, to the payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and (d) Fourth, to the payment of future Rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease. Should that portion of such proceeds received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of Rent hereunder, be less than the Rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by 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 Tenant in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the proceeds received from such reletting. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises or any other action under this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be 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. 13.2.6. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant's default under this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to recover damages hereunder, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to mitigate damages hereunder. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law whether or not stated in this Lease. 13.2.7. Landlord's Right to Cure Defaults. Should Tenant fail to repair, maintain, and/or service the Premises, or any part or contents thereof at any time or times, or perform any other obligations imposed by this Lease or otherwise, then after having given Tenant reasonable notice of the failure or failures and a reasonable opportunity which in no case shall exceed ten (10) days, to remedy the failure, Landlord may perform or contract for the performance of the -26- <PAGE> 32 repair, maintenance, or other Tenant obligation, and Tenant shall pay Landlord for all direct and indirect costs incurred in connection therewith within ten (10) days of receiving a bill therefor from Landlord. 13.3.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any breach or default of Tenant under this Lease, whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered. Such costs shall include legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise. Furthermore, if any action for breach of or to enforce the provisions of this Lease is commenced, the court in such action shall award to the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, a reasonable sum as attorneys' fees and costs.

SURRENDER OF PREMISES. 15.2.1. Surrender of Lease not Merger.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in the same order, condition, and repair as when received by Tenant or as thereafter improved by Landlord or Tenant excepting only reasonable wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease.

However, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease designated as prior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. 17.2. Attornment. If Landlord's interest in the Premises is acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord's interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant and Landlord any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord's interest. 17.3. Signing of Documents. Tenant shall sign and deliver any instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any such attornment or subordination or agreement to do so.

Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant, upon paying the Rent and any and all other charges herein provided for and observing and performing the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term without hindrance or molestation of anyone lawfully claiming by, through, or under Landlord; subject, however, to the matters set forth in this Lease.
