THIS

hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain
premises commonly known as 1434 6th Street #9, Santa Monica, CA 90401 (the
“Premises”). This Lease is subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions herein set forth, each of which is a material part of the
consideration for this Lease. The breach of any term, covanent or
condition of this Lease shall be considered a material default.
2. Use. Tenant
shall use and occupy the Premises for General Office only, and shall not use,
occupy or permit the Premises to be used or occupied for any other purpose
without the prior written consent of Landlord.
3. Term. The
term of this Lease (“Lease Term”) shall be One Year commencing on February 1,
2010 (“Commencement Date”), and ending on January 31, 2011 (“Termination Date”),
unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision
hereof. Notwithstanding said Commencement Date, if for any reason
Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on said
Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefore, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of
Tenant hereunder or extend the Lease Term, but in such case Tenant shall not be
obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligation of Tenant under the terms
of this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease, until
possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant; provided, however that if
Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises within ninety (90) days
from said Commencement Date, either Landlord or Tenant, without any liability to
the other, may cancel this Lease on written notice thereof. On the
other hand, if Tenant occupies the Premises prior to said Commencement Date,
such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this Lease, such occupancy
shall not advance the Termination Date, and Tenant shall pay rent for such
period at the initial monthly rates set for below. Tenant’s taking
possession of the Premises shall constitute Tenant’s acknowledgement that the
Premises is in good and clean condition. Tenant acknowledges that
neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agent has made any representation or warranty as
to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s
business. Any delay in occupancy shall not extend the Termination
Date of this Lease.
4. Security
Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution thereof
$2,000.00 as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease. Should Tenant faithfully perform all of
the items, covenants and conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall, within 21
days following the Termination Date, repay Tenant the amount of the Security
Deposit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
Lease, including, but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of
rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or
any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum
in default, or for the payment of any 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 said deposit is so used or
applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefore,
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 constitute a
default under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep this
Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. In the event Landlord transfers
his interest in the Premises to a subsequent landlord, Landlord shall transfer
said deposit to the subsequent landlord and Tenant shall look solely to the
subsequent landlord for repayment of this Security Deposit. No trust
relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to
Security Deposit.

the provisions of paragraph 11(a) above, Landlord shall repair and maintain the
exterior walls and roof, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of
the need of any repairs or maintenance of said exterior walls or roof, and

employees or invitees, or any damage caused by breaking and entering, in which
case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost of such maintenance and

of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof
without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord will not
unreasonably withhold such consent; among other things, Landlord must be
satisfied that the financial position of any proposed assignee is equal to or
greater than that of Tenant and that proposed assignee’s use of the Premises

surrounding area and would not cause an increase in insurance
premiums. Any attempted assignment, subletting or occupancy without
Landlord’s prior written consent shall void and shall, at the option of
Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease. Regardless of
Landlord’s consent, no such assignment shall release Tenant or Tenant’s
obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay rent and
perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant
hereunder. Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent to
any subsequent assignment. In the event of default by any assignee in
the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly
against Tenant without exhausting remedies against said
assignee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments, amendment
or modifications to this Lease with assignees without notifying Tenant or any
prior successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto,
and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this
Lease.

attorneys’ fees, incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation
of any such requested transfer, assignment, subletting, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecation or encumbrance of the Lease. Each such transfer,
assignment, subletting, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance to which
there has been consent shall be by an instrument in form satisfactory to
Landlord and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor, sublessor,
mortgagor, pledgor, hypothecator or encumbrancer and the transferee assignee,
sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, hypothecate or beneficiary in each instance, as
the case may be; and each transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree in

terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by
tenant. One executed copy of such instrument shall be delivered to
Landlord.

anyone other than Tenant and Tenant is in default hereunder, of if this Lease is
assigned by Tenant, Landlord may collect the rent from the assignee, subtenant
or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein
reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant
herein against assignment and subletting, or the acceptance of such assignee,
subtenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from further performance
of the covenants herein contained.
14. Hold
Harmless. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against
any from any and all claims arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises or from
the conduct of its business, or from any activity, work, or other things done,

indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against and from any and all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part

Tenant, and from all costs, attorneys’ fees and liabilities incurred in or about
the defense of any such claim, or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and
in case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of such
claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant’s
expense by counsel designated by Landlord. Tenant, as a material part
of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk or damage to property
or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause other than
Landlord’s negligence or gross or intentional misconduct; and Tenant hereby
waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. Tenant shall
give prompt notice to Landlord in case of casualty or accidents on the
Premises.

or its agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage to persons or property,
or Tenant’s business, resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam,

from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works thereon, or from the roof, street
or subsurface, or from any other place resulting from dampness or any other
cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence of Landlord, its
agents, servants or employees. Landlord or its agents shall not be
liable for interference with the light or air, for any latent defect in the

subordination or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein prior to the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may
be. Tenant’s failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days
after written demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder
without further notice to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall execute
such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s
attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably
appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and
stead, to execute such documents in accordance with this paragraph.

voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation
thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not work a merger, and shall, at
the option of the Landlord, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may,
at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all
such subtenancies..
43. Quite
Possession. Upon Tenant paying the rent for the premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of
Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
