Section 11.6. Limitation on Remedies. Tenant shall not be entitled to, and Tenant hereby waives any right it may have to make any claim for, money damages (nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed its consent or approval to a proposed assignment or subletting as provided for in this Article 11. Tenant's sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any provision hereof, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.

Section 17.2. Landlord's Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord, at any time thereafter, may give a written termination notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice (which shall be not less than three (3) days after the giving of such notice), Tenant's right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, unless on or before such date all sums identified in such 3 day notice have been paid by Tenant and all other breaches of this Lease by Tenant at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord. If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Section 19512 of the California Civil Code or any successor code section. Upon such termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law, Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (0) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Section 17.4 hereof. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (0) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at a rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Board of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percentage point.

Every installment of rent and every other payment due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord which shall not be paid within ten (10) days after the same shall have become due and payable shall bear interest at Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) per annum, or at the highest rate legally permitted, whichever is less, from the date that the same became due and payable until paid, whether or not demand be made therefor.

Section 17.4. Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Monthly Base Rent or Increased Direct Expenses or Increased Taxes will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by an encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Increased Direct Expenses or increased Taxes due from Tenant is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) per month of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord. With respect to the first two (2) delinquencies occurring during any twelve (12) consecutive month period Landlord shall give Tenant ten (10) days written notice within which to cure the subject delinquency before assessing the late charge.

Section 17.5. Lease Continues Until Termination. If Tenant has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises, Landlord may elect to exercise its rights pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4 and to continue this Lease in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant' s right to possession.

Article 18 - Landlord's Right to Cure Defaults

Section 18.1. Right to Cure. All agreements and provisions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at Tenant's sale cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Monthly Base Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to cure any default and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in taking such action shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be paid to Landlord on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent.

Article 19 - Attorneys' Fees

Section 19.1. Attorneys' Fees. In any action or proceeding brought by either Party against the other under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover court and litigation costs and the fees of its attorneys, consultants and experts, in such action or proceeding (whether at the administrative, trial or appellate levels) in such amount as the court or administrative body may adjudge reasonable.

Article 20 - Holding Over

Section 20.1. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereof shall continue to apply and bind Tenant so long as Tenant remains in possession insofar as the same are applicable, except that if Tenant remains in possession without Landlord's written consent (regardless of whether Landlord accepts rent payments in a lesser amount during such holdover period), the Monthly Base Rent shall be one and one-fourth (1.25) times the Monthly Base Rent payable for the last month of the Term, prorated on a daily basis for each day that Tenant remains in possession, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims, losses and liabilities for damages resulting from failure to surrender possession, including, without limitation, any tenancy shall be from month to month, terminable by either party on not less than thirty (30) days written notice.

Article 21 - Waiver

Section 21.1. Waiver. The failure of Landlord to exercise its rights in connection with any breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such tern, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

Article 22 - Eminent Domain

19

If a material part of the Building is condemned or taken or if substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shal1, in Landlord's opinion, be necessary or desirable as a result of such condemnation or taking, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of taking.

Section 22.2. Condemnation Award. Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, and any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with any taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired te1m of this Lease or otherwise. In the even! of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Monthly Base Rent thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced by Landlord. Each party waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

Section 22.3. Temporary Taking. If all of the Premises shall be temporarily condemned or taken for governmental occupancy for a period of more than one year, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of taking and Landlord shall be entitled to all and all compensation, damages, income, rent and awards in connection therewith.
