to renew this Agreement for 1 extended term(s) of 3 year(s) (“Renewal Term”). If Tenant
chooses to exercise this renewal option, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s
intention to renew at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the initial Agreement Term. The
Renewal Term shall continue upon the same terms and conditions in this Agreement, except the
annual Base Rent for the first year of the Renewal Term shall be $165000.
5. BASE RENT.
A. For the first year of this Agreement Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an annual base
rent of $150000, payable in 12 equal installments of $12500 per month (“Base Rent”),
due to Landlord in full on the first business day of each month. After the first year of the
Agreement Term, the annual Base Rent shall increase by 3% each year. The 3%
increase shall be calculated using the previous year’s base rent. Tenant shall continue to
pay the annual base rent in 12 equal installments on the first business day of each month
throughout the term of this Agreement.
B. Tenant shall pay rent through the LeaseRunner Tenant Payment Center, with all ACH
fees paid by 123 Paperless Shops, a/an California Corporation.
6. PRORATION OF FIRST MONTH’S BASE RENT. If applicable, for the period from 07-01-2011
through the end of that month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the pro-rated monthly Base Rent of
$n/a.
7. PERCENTAGE RENT. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant also shall pay to Landlord a rent
amount of 2% of all gross sales in excess of annual sales above $500000 (“Percentage Rent”).
Once Tenant’s gross sales exceed $500000, Tenant shall include the Percentage Rent along
with Tenant’s next monthly payment of Base Rent. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
statement of Tenant’s gross sales year-to-date within 10 days after the end of each calendar
month. Within 30 days following the end of a calendar year, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
financial statements prepared by a certified public accountant showing Tenant’s month-by-month
gross sales from the previous calendar year.
8. FINANCIAL RECORDS. Tenant shall allow Landlord reasonable access to Tenant’s financial
records for Landlord to verify Percentage Rent. Landlord’s verification of Tenant’s Percentage
Rent shall be done at Landlord’s expense.
9. RADIUS RESTRICTION. Under Paragraph 7, Tenant shall be responsible for paying Percentage
Rent to Landlord, based on Tenant’s gross sales. Accordingly, so as not to dilute Tenant’s gross
sales at the Premises, Tenant shall not open another store of a similar kind within 5 miles of the
Center without the prior written consent of Landlord.
10. RENT CHANGES. Landlord may change the rental amount or other Agreement terms
subsequent to the Agreement Term by providing written notice to Tenant 30 days prior to the
end of the Agreement Term. If Tenant becomes a holdover tenant or a month-to-month tenant,
Landlord may change the rental amount or contract terms by providing written notice to Tenant
at least 30 days prior to the end of such month-to-month tenancy.
11. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the amount of $10000 as security
deposit against any breach of this Agreement by Tenant including but not limited to: damage to
the Premises or Center, except for ordinary wear and tear; abandonment of the Premises;
nonpayment of rent; late charges; and attorney’s fees. Tenant may not apply the security deposit
to the last month’s rent or any other charges. Within the maximum time allowed under applicable
state law, Landlord shall return Tenant’s security deposit with an itemized security deposit
settlement statement listing any deductions.
12. CHARGES AND FEES. If Tenant fails to pay the rent in full by the first business day of the
month, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge of $200. If any payment offered by Tenant to
Landlord for rent or any other amount due under this Agreement is returned for lack of sufficient
funds, a stop-payment, or any other reason, Tenant shall pay Landlord an insufficient funds fee
of $50 plus late charges until Landlord receives acceptable payment. Landlord and Tenant agree
that the charges and fees are a reasonable estimate of the administrative costs incurred by
Landlord. Landlord does not waive the right to insist on payment of the rent in full on the date it is
due.
13. OPERATING EXPENSES.
A. Landlord and Tenant intend for this Agreement to be a true triple net lease. All costs and
expenses associated with operating, servicing, managing, maintaining and repairing the
Center (“Operating Expenses”) shall be estimated in advance for each calendar year by
Landlord. The estimated annual Operating Expenses then shall be divided proportionally
amongst all of the tenants of the Center, based on square footage. For purposes of this
paragraph, Tenant’s proportionate share is 9.52% (“Proportionate Share”). Except where
otherwise indicated, Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of the estimated annual
Operating Expenses in 12 equal monthly installments, payable at the same time as Base
Rent, under the same terms and conditions of Paragraph 5. Tenant’s monthly payments
for Operating Expenses shall be pro-rated accordingly for the period between 07-01-2011
and December 31 of that year.
B. Within 90 days following the end of the calendar year, Landlord shall give Tenant a
written statement itemizing the actual Operating Expenses of the previous year. If there is
a discrepancy between the estimated Operating Expenses and the actual Operating
Expenses, Tenant either shall (i) be credited for any excess payment, or (ii) pay any
deficiency. Such credit or additional payment shall be reflected in Tenant’s next monthly
rent payment.
C. Operating Expenses include but are not limited to the following:
i. Taxes and Other Assessments. Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of all
taxes and other assessments against the Center, including but not limited to real
estate and personal property taxes (excluding the personal property of Landlord).
ii. Utilities and Common Area Maintenance. Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share
of all shared utilities supplying the Center. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
any utilities exclusively provided to Tenant and the Premises. Tenant shall pay its
Proportionate Share of all maintenance and repair services for common areas of
the Center including but not limited to interior and exterior repair, janitorial service,
security service, elevator maintenance, and grounds maintenance.
iii. Insurance. Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of Landlord’s insurance policy
premiums for the Center, including but not limited to fire and hazard insurance.
Landlord’s insurance shall not cover Tenant’s personal property. Tenant’s
obligation under this subsection is in addition to Tenant’s insurance obligation set
forth in Paragraph 20.
14. PROMOTIONAL FUND. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an annual amount of $2400, payable in 12
equal installments of $200 per month for the Center’s marketing, advertising, and promotional
activities (“Promotional Fund Fee”). Such Promotional Fund Fee shall be payable to Landlord at
the same time as Base Rent and Operating Expenses, under the same terms and conditions of
Paragraph 5 .
15. NOTICE TO QUIT AND HOLDOVER. At least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Agreement
Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s intention to vacate the
Premises by the end of the Agreement Term. If such notice is not timely given, Tenant shall be
liable for the rent due for the following month if the Premises are not rented to another tenant. If
Tenant continues in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Agreement Term,
Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant and its tenancy shall be a month-to-month tenancy.
During such month-to-month tenancy, the monthly rent shall increase to $15000 and all other
terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in effect, and Tenant must provide 30 days’
written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to vacate the Premises. Landlord may elect not to
renew this Agreement by providing written notice to Tenant 30 days prior to the end of the

to quit at least 30 days prior to the end of such month-to-month tenancy.
