If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any Transfer, then at least twenty (20) business days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and all consideration therefor (including calculation of the Transfer Profits described below), copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information relating to the proposed transferee: name and address; information reasonably satisfactory to Landlord concerning the transferee's business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit information, and general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee's creditworthiness and character. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises, provided that the parties agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold any such consent if, without limitation, Landlord determines in good faith that (A) the proposed transferee is not of a reasonable financial standing or is not creditworthy, (B) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency, (C) the proposed transferee, or any affiliate thereof, is then an occupant in the Project or has engaged in discussions with Landlord concerning a lease of direct space in the Project, (D) the proposed Transfer would result in a breach of any obligation of Landlord or permit any other tenant in the Project to terminate or modify its lease, (E) there is then in effect an uncured Event of Default, (F) the Transfer would increase the occupancy density or parking density of the Project or any portion thereof, (G) the Transfer would result in an undesirable tenant mix for the Project, as determined in good faith by the Landlord, (H) the proposed transferee does not enjoy a good reputation, as a business or as a tenant; or (I) any guarantor of the Lease does not consent to such Transfer in a form satisfactory to Landlord. Any Transfer made without Landlord's consent shall be void and, at Landlord's election, shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant. Tenant shall also, within ten (10) days of written demand therefor, pay to Landlord $500 as a review fee for each Transfer request, and reimburse Landlord for its reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs incurred in connection with considering any request for consent to a proposed Transfer. If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord Landlord's standard form transfer consent and agreement whereby the proposed transferee expressly assumes the Tenant's obligations hereunder. Landlord's consent to a Transfer shall not release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease (or any guarantor of this Lease of its obligations with respect thereto), but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations under this Lease allocable to the space subject to such Transfer. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers. In the event of any claim by Tenant that Landlord has breached its obligations under this Paragraph 9.1, Tenant's remedies shall be limited to recovery of its out-of-pocket damages (excluding consequential, incidental and punitive damages, if any,) and injunctive relief. 9.2 Cancellation and Recapture.

Insurance, Waivers, Subrogation and Indemnity. --------------------------------------------- 10.1 Insurance. Tenant shall maintain throughout the Term each of the --------- insurance policies described on Exhibit E attached hereto --------- Tenant initials___Landlord initials___ 25 and shall otherwise comply with the obligations and requirements provided on Exhibit E. --------- 10.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each waives any claim, --------------------- loss or cost it might have against the other for any injury to or death of any person or persons, or damage to or theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property (a "Loss"), to the extent the same is insured against (or is required to be insured against under the terms hereof) under any "all risk" property damage insurance policy covering the Building, the Premises, Landlord's or Tenant's fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements, or business, regardless of whether the negligence of the other party caused such Loss. 10.3 Indemnity. Subject to Paragraph 10.2, Tenant shall indemnify, defend --------- and hold Landlord, Rexco Main Street, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, and each of its respective directors, shareholders, partners, lenders, members, managers, contractors, affiliates and employees (collectively, "Landlord Indemnitees") harmless from and against all claims, demands, proceedings, losses, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from or asserted in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party in, under, on or about the Project, or any negligence or misconduct of Tenant or of any Tenant Party in or about the Premises, or Tenant's breach of any of its covenants under this Lease, except in each case to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitee. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and each Landlord Indemnitee for any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (i) acts of God, (ii) acts of third parties, or (iii) any matter outside of the reasonable control of Landlord. This Paragraph 10.3 shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. 11. Subordination; Attornment. ------------------------- 11.1 Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present ------------- and future ground or master leases of the Project and to the lien of all mortgages or deeds of trust (collectively "Security Instruments") now or hereafter to be made upon the security of any such Security Instruments, unless the holders of any such mortgages or deeds of trust, or the lessors under such ground or master leases (such holders and lessors are sometimes collectively referred to herein as "Holders") require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph 11 to the contrary, any Holder of any Security Instrument may at any time subordinate the lien of its Security Instrument to this Lease without obtaining Tenant's consent by giving Tenant written notice of such subordination, in which event this Lease shall be deemed to be senior to the Security Instrument in question. Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of request do so by Landlord, execute acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such Security Instrument; provided, however, that at the request of Tenant made within five (5) days of any such Landlord request, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for the benefit of Tenant such Holder's standard nondisturbance agreement. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant any such instrument or instruments if Tenant fails to do so within said fifteen (15) day period. 11.2 Attornment. Tenant covenants and agrees that in the event that any ---------- proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust, or if any ground or master lease is terminated, it shall attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or master lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as "Landlord" under this Lease. If requested, Tenant shall enter into a new lease with that successor on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease (for the unexpired portion of the Term then remaining). 12. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply, and shall cause each Tenant --------------------- Party to comply, with the Rules and Regulations of the Building which are attached hereto as Exhibit A, and all such nondiscriminatory modifications, --------- additions, deletions and amendments thereto as Landlord shall adopt in good faith from time to time. 13. Condemnation. If the entire Project or Premises are taken by right of ------------ eminent domain or conveyed by Landlord in lieu thereof (a "Taking"), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the Taking. If any part of the Project becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking will prevent Tenant from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking, and all Rent paid or payable hereunder shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such Taking. If any material portion, but less than all, of the Project, Building or the Premises becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds received for a Taking to any Holder of any Security Instrument, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such Taking, and all Rent paid or payable hereunder shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such Taking. If this Lease is not so terminated, then Base Rent thereafter payable hereunder shall be abated for the duration of the Taking in proportion to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by Tenant initials___Landlord initials___ 26 such Taking. If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the land on which the Project is situated, the Project, and other improvements taken, and Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce Landlord's award) against the condemnor for the value of Tenant's personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease and moving and relocation costs. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of this Paragraph 13 and the remaining provisions of this Lease shall exclusively govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to any Taking of any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Project or the land on which the Building is located, and Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each and all of their respective common law and statutory rights inconsistent herewith, whether now or hereinafter in effect (including, without limitation, Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as amended from time to time). 14. Fire or Other Casualty. ---------------------- 14.1 Repair Estimate; Right to Terminate. If all or any portion of the ----------------------------------- Premises, the Building or the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after Landlord's discovery of such damage, deliver to Tenant its good faith estimate (the "Damage Notice") of the time period following such notice needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty. Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease in any case where (a) any portion of the Premises or any material portion of the Project are damaged and (b) either (i) Landlord estimates in good faith that the repair and restoration of such damage under Paragraph 14.2 ("Restoration") cannot reasonably be completed (without the payment of overtime) within two hundred (200) days of Landlord's actual discovery of such damage, (ii) the Holder of any Security Instrument requires that application of any insurance proceeds with respect to such Casualty to be applied to the outstanding balance of the obligation secured by such Security Instrument, (iii) the costs of such Restoration is not fully covered by insurance proceeds available to Landlord and/or payments received by Landlord from tenants, or (iv) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent. Such right of termination shall be exercisable by Landlord by delivery of written notice to Tenant at any time following the Casualty until forty-five (45) days following the later of (A) delivery of the Damage Notice or (B) Landlord's discovery or determination of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding sentence, and shall be effective upon delivery of such notice of termination (or if Tenant has not vacated the Premises, upon the expiration of thirty (30) days thereafter). 14.2 Repair Obligation; Abatement of Rent. Subject to the provisions of ------------------------------------ Paragraph 14.1, Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after the discovery by Landlord of any damage resulting from a Casualty, begin to repair the damage to the Building and the Premises resulting from such Casualty and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such Casualty, except for modifications required by Regulations, and modifications to the Building or the Project reasonably deemed desirable by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required as part of the Restoration to repair or replace any of the Alterations, furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other improvements which may have been placed by, or at the request of, Tenant or other occupants in the Building or the Premises. Landlord shall have no liability for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to Tenant's business as a result of any Casualty, regardless of the cause therefor. Base Rent, and Additional Rent payable under Paragraph 3.2, shall abate if and to the extent a Casualty damages the Premises or common areas in the Project required and essential for access thereto and as a result thereof all or a material portion of the Premises are rendered unfit for occupancy, and are not occupied by Tenant, for the period of time commencing on the date Tenant vacates the portion of the Premises affected on account thereof and continuing until the date the Restoration to be performed by Landlord with respect to the Premises (and/or required common areas) is substantially complete, as determined by Landlord's architect. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of this Paragraph 14 and the remaining provisions of this Lease shall exclusively govern the right and obligations of the parties with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any portion of the Premises or the Project by Casualty, and Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each and all of their respective common law and statutory rights inconsistent herewith, whether now or hereinafter in effect (including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933 (4) of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time). 15. Parking. Tenant shall have the right to the nonexclusive use of such ------- portion of the parking facilities of the Project as are designated by Landlord from time to time for such purpose for the parking of passenger-size motor vehicles used by Tenant and Tenant Parties only and are not transferable without Landlord's approval. Landlord may install gate access to the parking areas and/or a parking structure and charge a fee for use of those areas and/or structures. The use of such parking facilities shall be subject to the parking rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, as such rules and regulations may be modified by Landlord from time to time, for the use of such facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant shall have use of the twenty-five (25) parking spaces described as the Parking Allocation in the Basic Lease Information free of charge and Tenant's customers and invitees may use the visitor parking area, at the Project, to be designated by Landlord, free of charge. 16. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall be an "Event of ----------------- Default" and shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) any failure to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder when due; (b) the abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant, provided, however, that unless Tenant is using the Tenant initials___Landlord initials___ 27 Premises for a retail use, abandonment or vacation of the Premises shall not be an Event of Default so long as no other Event of Default has occurred hereunder and provided Tenant has given Landlord five (5) days' prior written notice of its intent to vacate the Premises; (c) any failure by Tenant to execute and deliver any estoppel certificate or other document or instrument described in Paragraphs 10 (Insurance) and 11 (Subordination) or 21.2 (Estoppel Certificates) requested by Landlord, where such failure continues for five (5) days after delivery of written notice of such failure by Landlord to Tenant; (d) any failure by Tenant to fully perform any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days (except where a shorter period of time is specified in this Lease, in which case such shorter time period shall apply) after delivery of written notice of such failure by Landlord to Tenant; (e) the voluntary or involuntary filing of a petition by or against Tenant or any general partner of Tenant (i) in any bankruptcy or other solvency proceeding, (ii) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief laws, (iii) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenants property or Tenant's interest in this Lease, or (iv) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant's capital structure (provided, however, that if such a petition is filed against Tenant, then such filing shall not be an Event of Default unless Tenant fails to have the proceedings initiated by such petition dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof); (f) the default of any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder under any guaranty of this Lease, the attempted repudiation or revocation of any such guaranty, or the participation by any such guarantor in any other event described in this Paragraph 16 (as if this Paragraph 16 referred to such guarantor in place of Tenant); or (g) any other event, act or omission which any other provision of this Lease identifies as an Event of Default. Any notice of any failure of Tenant required under this Paragraph 16 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 et seq. ------- of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 17. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord -------- shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate, and cumulative), the option to pursue any one (1) or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever: (a) Terminate this Lease, and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following: (i) the worth at the time of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) 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 rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) 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 (specifically including, without limitation, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant); and (v) 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. The term "rent" as used in this Paragraph 17(a) shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Paragraphs 17(a)(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Paragraph 17(a)(iii) 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 percent (1%). (b) Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due. (c) Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Paragraphs 17(a) and 17(b) above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof. (d) Following the occurrence of three instances of payment of Rent more than ten (10) days late in any twelve (12) month period, the late charge set forth in Paragraph 4 shall apply from the date payment was due and Landlord may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to it, upon written notice to Tenant, require that all remaining monthly installments of Rent payable under this Lease shall be payable by cashier's check or electronic funds transfer three (3) months in advance, and may require that Tenant increase the Security Deposit to an amount equal to three times the current month's Rent at the time of the most recent default. In addition, (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, if the Premises or any portion thereof are sublet, Landlord may, at its option and in addition and without prejudice to any other Tenant initials___Landlord initials___ 28 remedies herein provided or provided by law, collect directly from the sublessee(s) all rentals becoming due to the Tenant and apply such rentals against the other sums due hereunder to Landlord; (ii) without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Landlord, if Tenants shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord may cure the same at the expense of Tenant (A) immediately and without notice in the case (1) of emergency, (2) where such default unreasonably interferes with any other tenant in the Building, or (3) where such default will result in the violation of any Regulation or the cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (B) in any other case if such default continues for ten (10) days following the receipt by Tenant of notice of such default from Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default(s), including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, shall be reimbursable by Tenant as Rent hereunder upon demand, together with interest thereon, from the date such costs were incurred by Landlord, at the Default Rate; and (iii) Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all rights now and hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant's right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease. 18. Surrender of Premises. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of --------------------- a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys (including any electronic access devices and the like) to the Premises, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises in the same condition as existed on the date Tenant originally took possession thereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted, provided that ordinary wear and tear shall not include repair and clean up items. By way of example, but without limitation, repair and clean up items shall include cleaning of all interior walls, carpets and floors, replacement of damaged or missing ceiling or floor tiles, window coverings or cover plates, removal of any Tenant-introduced markings, and repair of all holes and gaps and repainting required thereby, as well as the removal requirements below. In addition, prior to the expiration of the Term or any sooner termination thereof, (a) Tenant shall remove such Alterations as Landlord shall request and shall restore the portion of the Premises affected by such Alterations and such removal to its condition existing immediately prior to the making of such Alterations, (b) Tenant shall remove from the Premises all unattached trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and personal property located in the Premises, including, without limitation, phone equipment, wiring, cabling and all garbage, waste and debris, and (c) Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises or the Project caused by any such removal including, without limitation, full restoration of all holes and gaps resulting from any such removal and repainting required thereby. All personal property and fixtures of Tenant not so removed shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Regulations, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items. 19 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier ------------ termination of the Term hereof, with or without express or implied consent of Landlord, Tenant shall become and be only a tenant at sufferance at a daily rent equal to one-thirtieth of the greater of (a) the then prevailing monthly fair market rental rate as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, or (b) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent (and estimated Additional Rent payable under Paragraph 3.2) payable by Tenant immediately prior to such expiration or termination, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Neither any provision hereof nor any acceptance by Landlord of any Rent after any such expiration or earlier termination (including, without limitation, through any "lockbox") shall be deemed a consent to any holdover hereunder or result in a renewal of this Lease or an extension of the Term, or any waiver of any of Landlord's rights or remedies with respect to such holdover. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, (i) Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration of the Term or upon the earlier termination hereof or at any time during any holdover, and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant and collect damages in connection with any such holdover, and (ii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all lost profits and other consequential damages, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees and court costs incurred or suffered by or asserted against Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. 20. Miscellaneous. ------------- 21.1 Transfers and Liability. Landlord may, without restriction, sell ------------------------ assign or transfer in any manner all or any portion of the Project, any interest therein or any of Landlord's rights under this Lease. If Landlord assigns its right under this Lease, then Landlord shall automatically be released from any further obligations hereunder, provided that the assignee thereof assumes in writing all of Landlord's obligations hereunder accruing after such assignment. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease or with respect to any obligation or liability related to the Premises or the Project shall be recoverable only from the interest of Landlord in the Project and in no case shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any lost profits or damage to business. 21.2 Estoppel Certificates; Financial Statements. At any time and from ------------------------------------------- time to time during the Term, Tenant shall, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefor, an estoppel certificate in recordable form containing such factual certifications and other provisions as are found in the estoppel certificate forms requested by institutional lenders Tenant initials___Landlord initials___ 29 and purchasers. Tenant agrees in any case that (a) the foregoing certificate may be relied on by anyone holding or proposing to acquire any interest in the Project from or through Landlord or by any mortgagee or lessor or prospective mortgagee or lessor of the Project or of any interest therein and (b) the form of estoppel certificate shall be in the form of, at Landlord's election, the standard form of such present or prospective lender, lessor or purchaser (or any form substantially similar thereto), or any other form that Landlord shall reasonably select. At the request of Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall provide to Landlord within ten (10) days of Landlord's request therefor Tenant's and any guarantor's current financial statements. 21.3 Notices. Notices, requests, consents or other communications ------- desired or required to be given by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease shall be effective only if given in writing and sent by (a) registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, (b) nationally recognized express mail courier that provides written evidence of delivery, fees prepaid, or (c) facsimile and United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other address in the State of California as may be specified from time to time, in writing, or, if to Tenant, at the Premises. Any such notice, request, consent, or other communication shall only be deemed given (i) if sent by registered or certified United States mail, on the day it is officially delivered to or refused by the intended recipient, (ii) if sent by nationally recognized express mail courier, on the date it is delivered by such courier, (iii) if delivered by facsimile, on the date the sender obtains written telephonic confirmation that the electronic transmission was received, or (iv) if delivered personally, upon delivery or, if refused by the intended recipient, upon attempted delivery. 21.4 Payment by Tenant; Non-Waiver. Landlord's acceptance of Rent ----------------------------- (including, without limitation, through any "lockbox") following an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord's rights regarding such Event of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive Landlord's rights regarding any future violation of such terms.
