An investment in shares of our Common Stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. We face a variety of risks that may affect our operations or financial results and many of those risks are driven by factors that we cannot control or predict. The following discussion addresses those risks that management believes are the most significant, although there may be other risks that could arise, or may prove to be more significant than expected, that may affect our operations or financial results. Only those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment should participate in this offering. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our Common Stock. 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

We have never generated any revenues.

Although we have been in business for more than ten years, we have never generated any revenues from operations. We have been in a development stage since inception, and have yet to manufacture products for sale to customers. All of our working capital has been generated by sales of securities and loans from affiliates.

We have a history of operating losses, which may continue.

We have a history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred a net loss of approximately $775,000 for the year ended September 30, 2006 and a net loss of approximately $950,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007 our accumulated deficit was approximately $16,400,000. We have not achieved profitability on a quarterly or on an annual basis. We may not be able to generate revenues or reach a level of revenue to achieve profitability.
 
Our future financial results, including our expected revenues, are unpredictable and difficult to forecast.

If we begin to generate revenues, it is likely that our revenues, expenses and operating results will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could increase the volatility of the price of our Common Stock. We expect that our operating results will continue to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
 
 
·
Our ability, thus far unproven, to sell our products.
 
·
If we receive orders for products, our ability to complete those orders in a timely fashion.
 
·
The costs we will incur in manufacturing products.
 
·
The costs of marketing our products, including customer relations and warranty repairs
 
Due to all of these factors, our operating results may fall below the expectations of investors, which could cause a decline in the price of our Common Stock. 

We will need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. The raising of additional capital may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership interests. Our income from operations will not be sufficient to achieve our business plan. We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings to meet various objectives including, but not limited to:
 
 
·
pursuing growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;
     
 
·
acquiring complementary businesses;
     
 
·
making capital improvements to improve our infrastructure;
 
2

 

Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. The registration rights agreements  we entered into in connection with the 2006 Private Placement and the 2007 Private Placement provide that we will not, without the prior written consent of the majority of registered holders, file or request the acceleration of any other registration statement filed with the SEC, subject to certain exceptions, until the SEC has declared the registration statement contemplated by those registration rights agreement effective. In addition, negative covenants in the purchase agreements limit our ability to raise additional capital, including through the incurrence of debt or liens on our properties or the issuance of equity securities that include registration rights. These negative covenants may impair our ability to raise additional capital. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition. 

We may be required to pay liquidated damages to certain of our investors under certain circumstances.

We entered into registration rights agreements in connection with our 2006 Private Placement and our 2007 Private Placement. These registration rights agreements require us to pay partial liquidated damages under certain circumstances if we do not satisfy our obligations under such registration rights agreements, including our obligations to file or obtain or maintain the effectiveness of registration statements as required under these registration rights agreements. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations under these registration rights agreements and we are obligated to pay partial liquidated damages, it may adversely impact our financial condition.

Our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2006 were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In the absence of significant revenues and profits, we are seeking to raise additional funds to meet our working capital needs principally through the additional sales of our securities or debt financings. However, we cannot guarantee that will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. In the event that these plans can not be effectively realized, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  

3


We intend to expand our operations and increase our expenditures in an effort to grow our business. If we are unable to achieve or manage significant growth and expansion, or if our business does not grow as we expect, our operating results may suffer.
 
Our business plan anticipates continued additional expenditure on development, manufacturing and other growth initiatives. We may not achieve significant growth. If achieved, significant growth would place increased demands on our management, accounting systems, network infrastructure and systems of financial and internal controls. We may be unable to expand associated resources and refine associated systems fast enough to keep pace with expansion, especially to the extent we expand into multiple facilities at distant locations. If we fail to ensure that our management, control and other systems keep pace with growth, we may experience a decline in the effectiveness and focus of our management team, problems with timely or accurate reporting, issues with costs and quality controls and other problems associated with a failure to manage rapid growth, all of which would harm our results of operations.
 
 
We may be unable to maintain sufficient insurance as a public company to cover liability claims made against our officers and directors. If we are unable to adequately insure our officers and directors, we may not be able to retain or recruit qualified officers and directors to manage us.

Losing key personnel or failing to attract and retain other highly skilled personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.
 
Our future performance depends substantially on the continued service of our senior management and other key personnel. We do not currently maintain key person life insurance. If our senior management were to resign or no longer be able to serve as our employees, it could impair our revenue growth, business and future prospects.

To meet our expected growth, we believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to hire, train and retain other highly skilled personnel.  We cannot be sure that we will be successful in hiring, assimilating or retaining the necessary personnel, and our failure to do so could cause our operating results to fall below our growth and profit targets.

Rules issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our Common Stock.

We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management because of rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by the stock exchanges and NASDAQ. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers. 

Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange or NASDAQ (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.
 
 
 
 Many of our competitors are large, diversified manufacturing companies with significant expertise in the water quality business and contacts with water utilities and industrial water consumers. These competitors have significantly greater name recognition and financial and other resources. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in the face of strong competition from other water treatment companies.

4


Certain Aspects of Our Industry Are Subject To Government Regulation

Treatment of domestic drinking water and wastewater is regulated by a number of federal state and local agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The changing regulatory environment, including changes in water quality standards, could adversely affect our business or make our products obsolete.


We, like any other manufacturer of products that are designed to treat food or water that will be ingested, face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. Such claims may include, among others, that our products fail to remove harmful contaminants or bacteria, or that our products introduce other contaminants into the water. While we intend to obtain product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available at a reasonable cost, or, if available, will be adequate to cover liabilities. We do not anticipate obtaining contractual indemnification from parties acquiring or using our products. In any event, any such indemnification if obtained will be limited by our terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liabilities relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial conditions.
 
Our water treatment system and the related technology is unproven and may not achieve widespread market acceptance among our prospective customers.
 
Although we have installed a water treatment system on a pilot basis, our products have not been proven in a commercial context over any significant period of time. We have developed our proprietary technology and processes for water treatment based on dissolved air flotation technology, which competes with other forms of water treatment technologies that currently are in operation throughout the United States. Our water treatment system and the technology on which it is based may not achieve widespread market acceptance. Our success will depend on our ability to market our system and services to businesses and water providers on terms and conditions acceptable to us and to establish and maintain successful relationships with various water providers and state regulatory agencies.
 
We believe that market acceptance of our system and technology and our related success will depend on many factors including:
 
 
 
the perceived advantages of our system over competing water treatment solutions;
 
 
 
the actual and perceived safety and efficacy of our system;
 
 
 
the availability and success of alternative water treatment solutions;
 
 
 
the pricing and cost effectiveness of our system;
 
 
 
our ability to access businesses and water providers that may use our system;
 
 
 
the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;
  
 
 
publicity concerning our system and technology or competitive solutions;
 
 
 
timeliness in assembling and installing our system on customer sites;
 
 
 
our ability to respond to changes in the regulatory standards for  levels of various contaminants; and
 
 
 
our ability to provide effective service and maintenance of our systems to our customers’ satisfaction.
 
If our system or technology fails to achieve or maintain market acceptance or if new technologies are introduced by others that are more favorably received than our technology, are more cost effective or otherwise render our technology obsolete, we may experience a decline in demand for our system. If we are unable to market and sell our system and services successfully, our revenues would decline and our operating results and prospects would suffer.
 
We have only recently leased a manufacturing facility for our products.
 
In September of 2007 we leased a 60,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Garden Grove, California. We are currently acquiring and assembling the necessary equipment and machinery for manufacturing our products, but have yet to commence manufacturing at the facility. We may encounter unexpected problems and expenses in making the facility ready to commence manufacturing.

We must meet evolving customer requirements for water treatment and invest in the development of our water treatment technologies.
 
If we are unable to develop or enhance our system and services to satisfy evolving customer demands, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects will be harmed significantly. The market for water treatment is characterized by changing technologies, periodic new product introductions and evolving customer and industry standards. For instance, competitors in the water treatment industry are continuously searching for methods of water treatment that are more cost-effective and more efficient. Our current and prospective customers may choose water treatment systems that are offered at a lower price than our system. To achieve market acceptance for our system, we must effectively and timely anticipate and adapt to customer requirements and offer products and services that meet customer demands. This may cause us to pursue other technologies or capabilities through acquisitions or strategic alliances. Our customers may require us to provide water treatment systems for many different contaminants or higher volumes of water or to decrease the presence of contaminants. We also may experience design, engineering and other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of any modifications to our system or our new services. Our failure to develop successfully and offer a system or services that satisfy customer requirements would significantly weaken demand for our system or services, which would likely cause a decrease in our revenues and harm our operating results. In addition, if our competitors introduce solutions and/or services based on new or alternative water treatment technologies, our existing and future system and/or services could become obsolete, which would also weaken demand for our system, thereby decreasing our revenues and harming our operating results.
 
Failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our competitive position.
 
Our water treatment systems utilize a variety of proprietary rights that are important to our competitive position and success. Because the intellectual property associated with our technology is evolving and rapidly changing, our current intellectual property rights may not protect us adequately. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and contractual restrictions to protect the intellectual property we use in our business. In addition, we generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements, or have confidentiality provisions in agreements, with our employees, consultants, strategic partners and customers and control access to, and distribution of, our technology, documentation and other proprietary information.
 
Because legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and intellectual property rights in new technologies are uncertain and still evolving, the future viability or value of our intellectual property rights is uncertain. Furthermore, our competitors independently may develop similar technologies that limit the value of our intellectual property or design around patents issued to us. If competitors or third parties are able to use our intellectual property or are able to successfully challenge, circumvent, invalidate or render unenforceable our intellectual property, we likely would lose any competitive advantage we might develop. We may not be successful in securing or maintaining proprietary or patent protection for the technology used in our system or services, and protection that is secured may be challenged and possibly lost.
 
Risks Related to Our Industry
 
Changes in governmental regulation and other legal uncertainties could adversely affect our customers or decrease demand for our systems, and thus harm our business, operating results and prospects.
 
In the United States, many different federal, state and local laws and regulations govern the treatment and distribution of  water, as well as and disposal of attendant wastes. The increased interest in the treatment of contaminated water due to increased media attention on the adverse health effects from contaminated drinking water may result in intervention by the EPA or state regulatory agencies under existing or newly enacted legislation and in the imposition of restrictions, fees or charges on users and providers of products and services in this area. These restrictions, fees or charges could adversely affect our potential customers, which could negatively affect our revenues. Conversely, the failure of the EPA or state regulatory agencies to act on a timely basis to set interim or permanent standards for pollutants, or to delay effective dates for standards for pollutants, grant waivers of compliance with such standards or take other discretionary actions not to enforce these standards, may decrease demand for our system if water utilities and agencies are not required to bring their water into compliance with such regulatory standards. While we are not aware of any currently proposed federal regulation directly affecting our business, we cannot predict whether there will be future legislation regarding the treatment and distribution of water and the disposal of attendant wastes.
 
Water treatment systems in the United States must generally be permitted by a regulatory agency prior to its use by our customers, and changing drinking water standards and other factors could affect the approval process with respect to our systems by such regulatory agencies.
 
In general, water treatment systems must be permitted by applicable state or local regulatory agencies prior to commencement of operations. We cannot assure you when or whether the various regulatory agencies will approve our system for use by our customers. The application process can be time consuming and often involves several information requests by the regulatory agencies with respect to the system. Any long waiting periods or difficulties faced by our customers in the application process could cause some of our customers to use competing technologies, products, services or sources of drinking water, rather than use our technology.

Demand for our products could be adversely affected by a downturn in government spending related to water treatment, or in the cyclical residential or non-residential building markets.
 
Our business will be dependent upon spending on water treatment systems by utilities, municipalities and other organizations that supply water, which in turn is often dependent upon residential construction, population growth, continued contamination of water sources and regulatory responses to this contamination. As a result, demand for our water treatment systems could be impacted adversely by general budgetary constraints on governmental or regulated customers, including government spending cuts, the inability of government entities to issue debt to finance any necessary water treatment projects, difficulty of customers in obtaining necessary permits or changes in regulatory limits associated with the contaminants we seek to address with our water treatment system.  A slowdown of growth in residential and non-residential building would reduce demand for drinking water and for water treatment systems. The residential and non-residential building markets are generally cyclical, and, historically, down cycles have typically lasted a number of years. Any significant decline in the governmental spending on water treatment systems or residential or non-residential building markets could weaken demand for our systems.
 
We operate in a competitive market, and if we are unable to compete effectively, our business, operating results and prospects could suffer.
 
The market environment in which we operate is very dynamic and is characterized by evolving standards, the development of new technology, regulations which continually reduce the acceptable levels for contaminants and affect the means, methods and costs of disposing of wastes derived from water treatment.
 
We will compete with large water treatment companies, such as  USFilter Corporation, a subsidiary of Siemens AG. Our competition may vary according to the contaminant being removed. Many of our current and potential competitors have technical and financial resources, marketing and service organizations, and market expertise significantly greater than ours. Many of our competitors also have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and large customer bases. Moreover, our competitors may forecast the course of market developments more accurately and could in the future develop new technologies that compete with our system and/or services or even render our system and/or services obsolete. Due to the evolving markets in which we compete, additional competitors with significant market presence and financial resources may enter those markets, thereby further increasing competition. These competitors may be able to reduce our market share by adopting more aggressive pricing policies than we can or by developing technology and services that gain wider market acceptance than our system and/or services. Existing and potential competitors also may develop relationships with distributors of our system and services or third parties with whom we have strategic relationships in a manner that could harm our ability to sell, market and develop our system and services significantly. If we do not compete successfully we may never achieve significant market penetration and we may be unable to maintain or increase our business or revenues, causing our operating results and prospects to suffer.  

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
 
You may have difficulty trading our Common Stock as there is a limited public market for shares of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the NASD’s OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SINX.OB.” Our Common Stock is not actively traded and there is a limited public market for our Common Stock. As a result, a stockholder may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our Common Stock. This severely limits the liquidity of our Common Stock, and would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price for our Common Stock and on our ability to raise additional capital. An active public market for shares of our Common Stock may not develop, or if one should develop, it may not be sustained.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” may limit the trading and liquidity of our Common Stock which may affect the trading price of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the NASD’s OTC Bulletin Board.  Stocks such as ours which trade below $5.00 per share are considered “penny stocks” and subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our Common Stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our Common Stock.

A dividend has never been declared or paid in cash on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

 
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders.  We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2007, there were 106,635,201 shares of Common Stock outstanding.  We may also issue additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes.  The future issuance of any such additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our Common Stock.  There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with any capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our Common Stock are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. 
 
Even though we are not a California corporation, our Common Stock could still be subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation Law.
 
Under Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”), corporations not organized under California law may still be subject to a number of key provisions of the CGCL. This determination is based on whether the corporation has significant business contacts with California and if more than 50% of its voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses in California. In the immediate future, we will continue the business and operations of Sionix in California, and a majority of our business operations, revenue and payroll will be conducted in, derived from, and paid to residents of California. Therefore, depending on our ownership, we could be subject to certain provisions of the CGCL. Among the more important provisions are those relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, standards of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate transactions, dissenters' and appraisal rights, and inspection of corporate records.

The Water Purification Industry

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND. The water purification industry is highly fragmented, consisting of many companies involved in various capacities, including companies that design fully integrated systems for processing millions of gallons of water for municipal, industrial, and commercial applications. Demand for water purification has continued to grow due to economic expansion, population growth, scarcity of usable water, concerns about water quality and regulatory requirements. Drinking water, regardless of its source, may contain impurities that can affect the health of consumers. Although municipal agencies and water utilities in the United States are required to provide drinking water that complies with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act, the water supplied to homes and businesses from municipalities and utilities may contain high levels of bacteria, toxins, parasites and human and animal-health pharmaceuticals, as well as high levels of chlorine used to eliminate contaminants. The quality of drinking water outside the United States and other industrialized countries is generally much worse, with high levels of contaminants and often only rudimentary purification systems. In the industrialized world, water quality is often compromised by pollution, aging municipal water systems, and contaminated wells and surface water. In addition, the specter of terrorism directed at intentional contamination of water supplies has heightened awareness of the importance of reliable and secure water purification. The importance of effective water treatment is also critical from an economic standpoint, as health concerns and impure water can impair consumers' confidence in food
products. Discharge of impaired waters to the environment can further degrade the earth's water and violate environmental laws, with the possibility of significant fines and penalties from regulatory agencies.

There are over 200,000 public rural water districts in the United States. The great majority of these are considered small to medium-sized public water systems, which support populations of fewer than 10,000 people. A substantial portion of these are in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act at any given time. This problem is expected to worsen, as more stringent EPA rules are implemented for small public water systems. Substantial expenditures will be needed in coming years for repair, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The Company believes that water districts using conventional sand-anthracite filters will be unable to comply with the Clean Water Act without massive installations of on-site chemical filter aids and disinfection equipment, such as ozone or ultraviolet. On a worldwide level, water supply issues are viewed by many as the next global crisis; while the quantity of available fresh water is relatively fixed, the world population and demand for clean water is increasing at a rapid pace.

The market for the treatment and purification of drinking water and the treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater has shown significant growth as world demand for water of specified quality continues to increase and as regulations limiting waste discharges to the environment continue to mount. In addition, urbanization in the third world and the spread of agricultural activities has increased the demand for public water systems.

EXISTING PURIFICATION SYSTEMS. Until the early twentieth century, municipal water supplies consisted of flowing water directly from the source to the end user with little or no processing. In the late 19th and early 20th century, most large municipal water systems instituted a form of filtration called "slow sand filtration" to enhance the clarity and esthetics of delivered waters. These municipal water filtration systems however were extremely large plants that are typically excavated into the landscape of the facility. The surface area required for these filters could vary widely depending on the input quality of the water; generally, this involves extremely large areas or footprints. In a typical treatment facility, the first step adds to the raw incoming water a substance which causes tiny, sticky particles (called "floc") to form - these attract dirt and other particles suspended in the water. This process of coagulation results in the heavy particles of dirt and floc clumping together and falling to the bottom. These heavier particles form sediment which is siphoned off, leaving the clearer water, which passes on to filtration. The most common filtration method is known as "slow sand" or sand-anthracite, in which the water flows into large shallow beds and passes down through layers of sand, gravel and charcoal. The final process is disinfection, which is intended to kill bacteria or other microorganisms left in the water and leave a residual to keep the water safe through the delivery pipes to the customer. Chlorine is the most commonly employed disinfectant, although chloramine, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) are also used.

The current trend in water filtration, due to the higher demands for water and the reduction in clean or relatively clean source waters, is to clarify and heavily filter all municipal water supplies. Smaller municipalities and water districts will also be required to meet the added water quality goals of the larger systems and will require the infrastructure to do so.

While "slow sand" filtration is by far the most common treatment method used in the United States, it has serious drawbacks. The treatment facilities themselves occupy large tracts of land. The filtration beds are large, shallow
in-ground concrete structures, often hundreds of feet long to accommodate large volumes of water. The water being filtered must remain in these beds for a comparatively long-time (known as "residence time") in order for low density materials to settle out. The sand and charcoal filtering medium rapidly becomes plugged and clogged. The bed must then be taken off-line and back-flushed, which uses large volumes of water - water which becomes contaminated and is therefore wasted. Additional settling ponds are necessary to "de-water" this waste by evaporation so that the dried solids may be disposed of in an environmentally and expensive method.

 The average life expectancy of a treatment plant is about 20 years, after which they must be extensively renovated. Population growth necessitates enlarging old facilities or building new ones, occupying still more valuable land. This process requires lengthy environmental impact studies, long design periods, and complex financing programs to fund costly construction budgets, as lead times usually stretch out for years.

Aside from cost and logistical issues, however, there are many pathogens resistant to chlorine or small enough to pass through these existing methods of filtration. Illnesses such as hepatitis, gastroenteritis, Legionnaire's Disease, as well as increasingly pervasive chemical contaminants, have become increasingly common. One of the more difficult of these problems is monitoring and providing a barrier against microscopic protozoan parasites such as cryptosporidium (3-4 microns in size) and Giardia lamblia oocysts (5-7microns). These common organisms exist naturally in the digestive systems of livestock and wild animals, and end up in lakes and streams. They have caused severe illness in millions of people in the United States. Conventional "slow sand" water filtration beds, used in most of the nation's public water districts, will not filter out these parasites - the best treatment facilities are only able to remove particles larger than 10-15 microns.

In recent years, there have been several serious public health emergencies caused by microbes breaking through the filtration barrier in treatment facilities. When ingested, they can cause diarrhea, flu-like symptoms and dehydration. In persons with immune system impairment, the illness can be life-threatening. In 1993, over 400,000 people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin became ill and about 100 people died during a failure in the drinking water filtration system.

Most surface water bodies in the United States, many of which supply drinking water, are contaminated with these organisms. They are extremely resistant to disinfection, and increasing disinfectant levels in the attempt to kill them creates a new set of problems. Disinfectants such as chlorine can react with organic matter in the water to form new chemicals known as "disinfection byproducts". These byproducts, of which trihalomethanes (THM's) are the most common, are thought to be health-threatening and possibly cancer-causing. Recent modifications in the EPA-SDWA regulations have addressed minimum acceptable levels of THM's. Therefore, physical removal of the organisms from the water is vitally important to their control.

The challenge of removing organic matter from water has been at the crux of water treatment since antiquity. Organic matter causes water to be cloudy, or turbid. High levels of turbidity can indicate the presence of pathogens and signal that the filtration process is not working effectively. The presence of high levels of organic matter makes disinfection more difficult and clogs filter media, causing long back flush cycles, which in turn increases the volume of back flush waste-water. In a typical treatment plant, this back flush water can account for up to 20 percent of the raw water volume flowing through the facility.

Other filtration methods, such as reverse osmosis and activated charcoal, may be required to remove contaminants such as organic and inorganic chemicals, salts, color, odors, and viruses. However, they too are clogged quickly by organic particles in the water. These filter media are comparatively expensive, and frequent back flush cycles drastically shorten filter life, thereby increasing the cost of treatment.

Products and Technology

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY. Sionix was formed to develop advanced water treatment technology for public and private potable drinking water systems and wastewater treatment systems, as well as industrial systems, in order to address these issues. We have initially targeted (1) small to medium public and private water districts that provide communities with drinking water or sewage treatment service and (2) water reclamation systems of commercial-industrial clients that create and dispose of contaminated wastewater.

DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION. Dissolved air flotation, or DAF, has been used in water and wastewater treatment for more than eighty years, primarily in Europe. Some of the first systems installed in the 1920's are still in operation in Scandinavia. The DAF method involves injecting microscopic bubbles of air under pressure into the water being treated. The air molecules bond with organic matter in the water, and because of their lightness, the clumps float to the surface, where they are skimmed away. Over the eight decades this technology has been utilized, various improvements have been made in the technology. Until recently, it has not been utilized widely in the United States, and then primarily for wastewater treatment.

SIONIX "ELIXIR" WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS. The dissolved air flotation system developed by Sionix, which employs patented technology, removes more than 99.95+ percent of the organic particles in water, and provides a barrier against microbial contaminants such as cryptosporidium and Giardia lamblia. Each Elixir Water Treatment System is a self-contained water treatment system or pre-treatment process using ordinary air, with minimal chemical flocculent aids. Our goal is to provide effective, practical and economical solutions to problems caused by pollution and toxic chemicals that seriously threaten public health and our environment. Our systems significantly reduce the risk of bacterial or parasitic contamination, particularly cryptosporidium, giardia, and e-coli, with minimal disinfecting by-products. Our systems are designed for quick installation, easy access for simple maintenance and are cost-effective for even the smallest water utilities or commercial applications. This technology is designed to support public water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, water reclamation facilities, commercial air conditioning cooling towers, emergency water systems for floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. The Sionix system occupies a small footprint, is self-contained and portable.

Our Elixir system utilizes and refines this technology for a highly efficient pre-treatment process using ordinary oxygen. In addition, it helps ordinary filters meet EPA Safe Drinking Water Act regulations and eliminates potentially cancer-causing disinfection by-product precursors while reducing the risk of bacterial or parasitic contamination, particularly Trihalomethanes ("THM"), cryptosporidium and giardia. The Elixir system is designed for quick installation, easy access for simple maintenance and to be cost-effective for even the smallest water utilities or commercial applications.

By significantly reducing turbidity, the Elixir system remediates against disinfection byproducts such as THM. Used in conjunction with filtration or disinfection technology which may be required by specific raw water conditions, it reduces back-flushing cycle times, thereby lengthening the life of post-DAF equipment.

Completely modular, we plan to customize each system installation with filtration and disinfection options appropriate for the user. The entire unit is built into a standard thirty-foot or forty-foot ISO transportable container, making it easy to move by truck, train, plane, helicopter, or ship. Standard configuration includes a small control and testing laboratory located in the front of the container. The addition of a generator module makes the system self-powered. The customer can operate and control the entire system from a remote site via hardwired or wireless communications. A comprehensive service and maintenance program (which will be part of all equipment leases) includes a standard upgrade path.

A single unit should produce a minimum of 225 gallons of potable water per minute (about 325,000 gallons, or one acre-foot, per day), enough for a community of 2,400 people and its infrastructure - which is about 500-600 homes in the United States, based on U.S. Government guidelines. It is important to note that per capita usage of water in the U.S. is among the highest in the world. Two or more units can be ganged together for increased capacity.

 Our systems are ideal for small to medium-sized potable water treatment utilities. They serve equally well in commercial/industrial uses where incoming process water must be treated to high levels of purity, or wastewater must be decontaminated before discharge to the environment. The products can also address water quality issues faced by commercial and industrial facilities that process water or produce toxic wastewater, such as food and beverage processing plants, dairy products facilities, and fresh water aquaculture installations, such as fish farms.

A major problem facing the water treatment industry is the difficulty in monitoring and disposing of microscopic parasites such as Cryptosporidium (4-5 microns) and Giardia cysts (7-12 microns), common chlorine-resistant organisms that have infected millions of people in the United States. Sand-anthracite water filtration beds, in use in most of the nation's public water districts, will not filter out these parasites and experience frequent breakthroughs of Cryptosporidium sized particles.

Our system uses a more efficient method of saturating recirculated post-filter water with excess dissolved air, and injecting this excess air in the form of microscopic bubbles in a DAF particle separator. Pressurized water can hold an excess amount of dissolved air and forms microscopic bubbles when injected into water, which has a lower pressure. A booster pump recirculates a small amount (approximately 10%) of the post-filtered water through the dissolved air-saturation system. Oxygen and nitrogen molecules are transferred directly into the recirculated high-pressure water without forming air bubbles.  This method of transferring air into water is 100% efficient, and reduces the amount of energy required to saturate recirculated water with excess dissolved air. The Elixir provides a denser concentration of white water bubbles. This process requires less energy than a conventional system, and uses a fraction of the floor space.

11


In general, water districts using sand-anthracite filters cannot meet the EPA Surface Water Treatment rules without a massive increase in on-site chemical filter-aids, additional filtering and the installation of ozone or other disinfection equipment. Plant operators must continually test raw influent water to adjust chemical filter aid dosage properly. Chemical and metal (alum) filter-aids increase sludge volume and landfill disposal problems.

Our systems include automatic computer controls to optimize ozone concentration levels and reduce monthly energy costs. Higher ozone contact concentration levels using smaller sized generators are possible if most of the algae are removed first by DAF. Extended contact time increases collision rate of ionized ozone molecules with negatively charged organic suspended particles. By utilizing the Elixir to pre-treat the feedwater, less energy is required to create the appropriate amount of ozone. By creating a turbulent flow of water and gas within the mixing chamber, we have achieved a much higher saturation with less ozone (and a minimum of excess ozone) than in other mixing methods.

The Elixir system is a sealed unit, thus preventing tampering or incursion by bio-terrorism or airborne contaminants due to the steel container in which the system is assembled. Should catastrophic damage be incurred, a replacement unit may be installed within a few days rather than many months or years with in-ground systems.

Pilot Program-Villa Park Dam

In November of 2006 we entered into an agreement with the Serrano Water District in Orange County, California to install an Elixir system at the Villa Park Dam (near Anaheim, California) for testing of the system by processing flood water residue behind the dam. Under the agreement, scientists and engineers from California State University at Fullerton are to coordinate with the Serrano Water District to trace and record the cleaning efficiency for the various contaminants in the water (thought to be iron, manganese and algae) against the flow rate capacity of the Elixir system. The system placed at the dam site was designed by Sionix for research purposes and contains a variety of sampling sites within the system to extract and test water outside the system, as well as a suite of internal water quality measurement instruments to monitor the cleaning process.

Villa Park Dam is operated by Orange County Flood Control and is designed to check the flow of flood waters from several small watersheds in the northern Santa Ana Mountains. The dam is capable of impounding up to 15,000 acre-feet of water (4.9 billion gallons), although its purpose is to check and safely release the waters during periods of heavy rainfall into Santiago Creek, where it is diverted to groundwater recharge ponds or allowed to discharge to the ocean. Serrano Water District has rights to 3,000 acre-feet of water from the impoundment pool. Until now, impounded waters have been released to flow downstream during storms. However, under the plan, rain and other water will flow down creeks and collect to form a useable pool of water behind the dam. This water slowly degrades during the summer and has been shown to have exceptionally high values of iron and manganese. This water has been prohibitively expensive to treat for drinking water.

In May of 2007 we placed an Elixir system at the dam and began processing runoff water. We began a thorough evaluation of every component in the system during this testing period. Data are being used to evaluate the baseline water quality to be treated, as part of an ongoing water collection and analysis study of the Elixir water treatment system. Several testing and research programs to evaluate the treatment system have been implemented and will continue throughout the fall of 2007.
 
On November 7, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets of RJ Metals, Inc. a manufacturer of specialty metal components, for 3,400,000 shares of our Common Stock. The machine shop operation of RJ Metals was moved into our manufacturing facility in Garden Grove, California, and will be used to fabricate parts and components for our systems.

Rodney L. Anderson, a director of Sionix, was the founder, President and a principal shareholder of RJ Metals, Inc. Mr. Anderson received 1,224,000 shares of Sionix Common Stock in the transaction. Under the agreement between Sionix and the former shareholders of RJ Metals, the former shareholders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the Sionix shares received by them.

Marketing and Customers

THE MARKET. The potable water market includes residential, commercial, and food service customers. Demand is driven both by consumers' desire to improve the taste and quality of their drinking water and by the expanded concern of regulatory agencies. Water safety concerns have driven the growth of the consumer bottled water market to over $2 billion in the United States, as well as the growth in the water filtration market.

According to industry data, it is estimated that one billion people in the world do not have safe drinking water. Demand is driven both by consumers' desire to improve the taste and quality of their drinking water and by the expanded concern of regulatory agencies. There is significant market potential in Asian, Pacific and Latin American countries, where the quality of drinking water has been found to be severely deficient in several regions.

In the United States, the Company plans to initially target the established base of small to medium water providers, as well as industrial users (such as the dairy industry, meat and poultry producers, cruise ship operators, food and beverage processors, pharmaceuticals, cooling tower manufacturers and oil and gas producers) and disaster relief agencies with a need for a clean and consistent water supply. Outside the United States, the Company plans to market principally to local water systems and international relief organizations.

12


The Company's marketing efforts emphasize that its products are easily expandable and upgradable; for example, adding ozone and microfiltration equipment to a DAF unit is similar to adding a new hard drive to a personal computer. Each piece of equipment comes with state-of-the-art telemetry and wet-chemistry monitoring that expands as the system does. The Company plans to provide lease financing for all of its products, not only making it easy for a customer to acquire the equipment, but also guaranteeing that the customer will always have access to any refinements and improvements made to the Company's products.

Pilot study requirements and potential adverse environmental effects can generally be more easily addressed with Sionix' prepackaged plant approach. The company's initial approach to the market place is to supply the best of practice process for the largest number of water types encountered. The following is a brief description of the types of customers to be targeted:

DOMESTIC WATER UTILITIES. There are approximately 197,060 public rural water districts in the United States. The great majority of these are considered small to medium-sized public water systems, which support populations of fewer than 10,000 people. We believe that the Elixir system can provide a comprehensive solution for these utilities. It avoids most of the above problems, occupies a small footprint, is self-contained and portable. Equally important, in most cases, it does not require costly and time consuming environmental studies.

 INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER PURIFICATION. Many industries use water in their manufacturing process which results in contamination. This wastewater must be treated and purified before it can be reused or released into the ocean or streams. Principal markets are: pharmaceutical manufacturers, producers of paper products, the dairy industry, and silicon chip manufacturers. The small footprint, low cost, and predictably efficient output of the Elixir system make it an excellent choice for customers in these markets.

 FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY. The production of beer and wine, soft drinks, and food products require water of a specific purity that must be controlled and monitored as part of the production process. The food service industry has an increasing need for consistent global product quality. Food service includes water used for fountain beverages, steam ovens, coffee and tea.

HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. Hospitals require clean, uncontaminated water for their normal day-to-day operations. They also produce contaminated water that may require treatment before being reused or released. The Sionix Elixir system will process waste-water to a specific and controlled purity. The systems can be used to filter water going into or coming out of use. In such exacting situations, the customer may be able to reuse contaminated water or ensure decontamination before discharge.

WASTEWATER UTILITIES (SEWAGE TREATMENT). The Elixir system can treat any degree of contamination. Sewage overflows are a major problem in many communities. The unit can function as a cost-effective emergency alternative to mitigate the problem of overflows.

 THIRD-WORLD MARKETS. In addition to the domestic market, fast spreading urbanization in third-world countries has created a growing demand for public water systems. Most of the fatal waterborne illnesses occur in these countries. Industrial and agricultural contamination of water supplies is epidemic because environmental controls are neither adequate nor well enforced.

 EMERGENCIES AND NATURAL DISASTERS. During natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes, it is the role of the National Guard and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist local authorities with emergency services. Damage to local utilities can disrupt the drinking water supply and cause the failure of wastewater (sewage) treatment plants. The Elixir system can help address both of these problems. The system is completely self-contained, can be easily transported from place to place, is highly efficient, and can be equipped with its own power package.

 DESALINIZATION. Reverse osmosis (RO) is among the most efficient desalinization processes available today. An RO desalinization system requires prefiltration to reduce clogging of the filter membrane by organic matter. Placed in front of an RO filter unit in a desalinization system, the Elixir unit will greatly lengthen the time between costly back-flushes and prolong the life of the RO filters.

MARKETING METHODS. We plan to market our products through participation in industry groups, selected advertising in specialized publications, trade shows, and direct mail. Sionix initially will utilize in-house marketing in conjunction with outsourced marketing consultants and national and international distributorships.

Patents

We hold eight U.S. patents on technology incorporated into the Elixir system and related components, with an additional two patents pending. Our patents cover process, system and waste handling, an automatic backflushing system using air pressure to activate the valves, the ozone mixing system, and the inline wet-chemistry water quality monitoring system. The extent to which patents provide a commercial advantage, or inhibit the development of competing products, varies. We plan to be aggressive in securing additional patents to further protect and position Sionix for the future. We also rely on common law concepts of confidentiality and trade secrets, as well as economic barriers created by the required investments in tooling and technical personnel and the development of customer relationships, to protect our proprietary products.

Competition

Our products will compete with other producers of water filtration and purification equipment, such as USFilter and Cuno, Inc., many of which are more established and have significantly greater resources. We will also compete with large architectural/engineering firms that design and build water treatment plants and wastewater facilities. In addition to conventional methods such as chlorination and ozonation, our products may also compete with other new technologies for water filtration. Competitive factors include system effectiveness, operational cost and practicality of application, pilot study requirements and potential adverse environmental effects. In competing in this marketplace, we have to address the conservative nature of public water agencies and fiscal constraints on the installation of new systems and technologies.

Regulatory Matters

Process water treatment plants and wastewater plants must comply with clean water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the Clean Water Act and standards set by states and local communities. In many jurisdictions, including the United States, because process water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment systems require permits from environmental regulatory agencies, delays in permitting could cause delays in construction or usage of the systems by prospective customers.

 In 1974, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was passed. It empowered the EPA to set maximum levels of contamination allowable for health-threatening microbes, chemicals, and other substances which could find their way into drinking water systems, and gave the agency the power to delegate enforcement.

 By 1986, Congress was dissatisfied with the speed with which the EPA was regulating and enforcing contaminant limits. The SDWA revision that year set rigid timetables for establishing new standards and ordered water systems to monitor their supplies for many substances not yet regulated by EPA standards.

Additionally, it limited polluting activities near public groundwater wells used as drinking water sources - an acknowledgment of the growing threat to underground water supplies. It named 83 contaminants and set out a program for adding 25 more every three years, as well as specifying the "best available technology" for treating each contaminant.

The timetable for imposing these regulations was rigid and tended to treat all contaminants as equally dangerous, regardless of relative risk. The cost to water districts for monitoring compliance became a significant burden, especially to small or medium-sized districts. The 1986 law authorized the EPA to cover 75 percent of state administrative costs, but in actuality, only about 35 percent was funded.

Congress updated the SDWA again in 1996, improving on the existing regulations in two significant ways. First, they changed the focus of contaminant regulations to reflect the risk of adverse health effects, the rate of occurrence of the contaminant in public water systems, and the estimated reduction in health risk resulting from regulation. Along with this, a thorough cost-benefit analysis must be performed by the EPA, with public health protection the primary basis for determining the level at which drinking water standards are set. Second, states were given greater flexibility to implement the standards while arriving at the same level of public health protection. In addition, a revolving loan fund was established to help districts build necessary improvements to their systems.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2006 were $0.  Only direct costs associated with tooling for new products are capitalized. All other costs, including salaries and wages of employees included in research and development, are expensed as incurred.

Raw Materials

Materials and components to be used for manufacturing will be carefully selected based on stringent specifications for usage and operating conditions. Every effort will be made to specify parts from multiple sources for  independence from manufacturers and distributors.

Employees

 Sionix has  four  full-time employees, none of whom are covered by any collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, no legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims are pending against us or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Property

Our office facility is located in Irvine, California and is leased pursuant to a lease expiring in February 28, 2009. The facility consists of approximately 1,994 square feet of office area. Our manufacturing facilities are located at 14271 Corporate Drive, Garden Grove, California 92708. We plan to lease a separate facility for manufacturing and warehouse space. Our management believes the facilities will provide adequate space for our office, product assembly and warehouse activities, and that suitable additional space will be available to accommodate planned expansion.
 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
 CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION
 
General.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Except for the historical information contained in this report, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Prospectus should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Prospectus. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
Plan of Operation.
 
During the next twelve months we plan to continue testing of our ELIXIR unit currently installed at the Villa Park Dam under our arrangement with the Serrano Water District. We believe that if the unit continues to operate successfully, we will be in a position to aggressively market the ELIXIR product, using the Villa Park Dam unit as a prototype for additional installations. We plan to engage in substantial promotional activities in connection with the installation and operation of the unit, including media exposure and access to other public agencies and potential private customers. If the unit continues to operate successfully, we believe we will receive orders for additional units.
 
Results of Operations (Year Ended September 30, 2006 Compared To Year Ended September 30, 2005).
 
The Company was relatively inactive during most of the 2006 fiscal year due to lack of resources, although it reactivated operations in the last quarter. Revenues for both the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years were zero, as the Company had not yet commenced the sale of products. General and administrative expenses for the 2006 fiscal year totaled $639,259, an increase of $216,046 over general and administrative expenses for the 2005 fiscal year. Research and development expenses decreased by $1,810, from $1,810 in 2005 to zero in 2006, due to the suspension of research and development activities in 2006 as a result of the lack of funds to finance such activities.

15


Interest expense for 2006 of $10,080 represented an increase of $1,956, due largely to interest accruals on unpaid interest. During 2006 the Company incurred an extraordinary loss on settlement of debts of $94,221, with no corresponding loss during 2005. As a result of these items, the loss for the 2006 fiscal was $774,887, an increase of $307,870 over the loss for the 2005 fiscal year.
 
Results of Operations (Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared To Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006).
 
 The Company was relatively inactive during the period of nine months ended June 30, 2006 due to lack of resources. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, the Company raised capital through the sale of Convertible Debentures, and was able to resume activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenues for both the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 and the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 were zero, as the Company has not yet commenced the sale of products. General and administrative expenses for the period of nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $932,668, an increase of $485,421 over the $447,247 incurred in the corresponding period in 2006, due to the resumption of development and capital-raising activities. Interest expense increased to $144,895 from $7,218 in the 2006 period, representing interest on Convertible Debentures issued during the past nine months.  
 
As a result of these items, the loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,100,620, an increase of $528,448 over the loss of $572,172 for the corresponding period in the 2006 fiscal year.  
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
 
On June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $455,563. The sole source of liquidity has been borrowings from affiliates and the sale of securities. Management anticipates that additional capital will be required to finance the Company's operations. The Company believes that anticipated proceeds from sales of securities and other financing activities, plus possible cash flow from operations during the 2007 fiscal year, will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations. However, the Company has no commitments for financing, and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or that the Company will not encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete its capital resources more rapidly than anticipated. Also, the Company may not be able to generate revenues from operations during the fiscal year.  
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,400,573. It can be expected that the future operating results will continue to be subject to many of the problems, expenses, delays and risks inherent in the establishment of a developmental business enterprise, many of which the Company cannot control.
 
Recent Private Placements
 
In a private offering that commenced in October of 2006 and concluded in early 2007, we issued convertible bridge notes in the amount of $750,000 to a group of private investors. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum, expire eighteen months after issuance, and are convertible into our Common Stock at a conversion price of $ .04 per share. The holders have the option to convert accrued interest on these notes into Common Stock of the Company at the same conversion rate.
 
In June of 2007 we completed a private offering of 10% Convertible Promissory Notes of $86,000 to five private investors. The notes are convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $.01 per share: provided, however, that the right of the holders of these notes to convert is subject to the completion of certain financing milestones.
 
In July of 2007 we completed a private offering, principally to private investment funds, in the amount of $1,025,000. The investors received Subordinated Convertible Debentures that bear interest at 8% per annum, expire twelve months after issuance, and are convertible into our Common Stock at a conversion price of $ .22 per share.
 
Going Concern Opinion.
 
We currently have insufficient assets to continue our operations, unless we secure additional financing. As a result of our ongoing losses, lack of revenues from operations, and accumulated deficits, there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders identified in the table below of:

 18,853,125 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Senior Convertible Notes due March 2008 sold in a private placement transaction that closed in  late  2006 (the “2006 Private Placement”);

2,609,375 shares of Common Stock, which, based on our good faith estimate, may be issuable in the future if we elect to pay all interest due under the Senior Convertible Notes in shares of Common Stock;

 4,659,087 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Subordinated Convertible Debentures due in June 2008 sold in a private placement transaction that closed in  June 2007 (the “2007 Private Placement”);

352,728 shares of Common Stock, which, based on our good faith estimate, may be issuable in the future if we elect to pay all interest due under the Senior Convertible Notes in shares of Common Stock;

 
8,600,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Convertible Promissory Notes issued in June 2007.
 
4,592,915 shares of Common Stock issued to Calico Capital Management, LLC and certain affiliates thereof,  as compensation for general financial and strategic consulting services rendered in 2006 and 2007; and

73,614 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of placement agent warrants.

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement executed in connection with the 2006 Private Placement and the 2007 Private Placement, we have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form SB-2, of which this prospectus forms a part, under the Securities Act to register such resales. The selling securityholders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of Common Stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered in this Offering” in the table below.

The table below has been prepared based upon the information furnished to us by the selling securityholders. Information concerning the selling securityholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly. We cannot provide an estimate as to the number of shares of Common Stock that will be held by the selling securityholders upon termination of the offering covered by this prospectus because the selling securityholders may offer some or all of their shares of Common Stock under this prospectus.

The following table sets forth the name of each selling securityholder, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship, if any, which the selling securityholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by such selling securityholder before this offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership is deemed to include any shares of Common Stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of Common Stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

We have assumed all shares of Common Stock reflected on the table will be sold from time to time in the offering covered by this prospectus. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock listed in the table below, no estimate can be given as to the amount of those shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus that will be held by the selling securityholders upon the termination of the offering.

Unless otherwise set forth below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the securityholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable.

In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities held by that person that are currently convertible or exercisable or become convertible or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus are deemed outstanding even if they have not actually been converted or exercised.

Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2007. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares of Common Stock underlying options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2007. The shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of those options or warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding those options and warrants but are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite that person’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, unless otherwise noted in the applicable footnote.


The following table summarizes all compensation recorded by us in each of the last two completed fiscal years for our principal executive officer, each other executive officer serving as such whose annual compensation exceeded $100,000 and up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been made in this table but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of our company at the end of our fiscal year. Such officers are referred to herein as our “Named Executive Officers.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling securityholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
·    
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;
  
·    
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  
·    
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  
·    
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
privately negotiated transactions;
  
·    
to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;
  
·    
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  
·    
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling securityholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling securityholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling securityholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.

Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling securityholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

23


The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Shares will be paid by the selling securityholder and/or the purchasers. Each selling securityholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling securityholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling securityholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
 
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Authorized Capital Stock

We are authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our Common Stock that are present in person or represented by proxy. Except as otherwise provided by law, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation generally must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, our Common Stock holders will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders.

Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.

Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined such officer or director did not meet the standards.  

24


Our bylaws include an indemnification provision under which we have the power to indemnify our directors and officers (including heirs and personal representatives) against all costs, charges and expenses actually and reasonably incurred, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment to which the director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of ours or any of our subsidiaries.

Our bylaws also provide that our directors may cause us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of ours or any of our subsidiaries (including heirs and personal representatives) against a liability incurred by him/her as a director, officer, employee or agent.

Our indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors contain provisions which require us to indemnify them for costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with their service as such. We are required to provide such indemnification if (i) the executive officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, and (ii) in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, the executive officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Nevada State Law

We may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada's control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation.

The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares is sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
  
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder's shares.  

Nevada's control share law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers.

In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and "interested stockholders" for three years after the "interested stockholder" first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS 

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under Nevada law, a corporation shall indemnify a director or officer against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him, to the extent the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding. A corporation may indemnify a director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to e made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. Exempt from that immunity are:
 
·    
A willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
 
·    
A violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
 
·    
A transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
 
·    
Willful misconduct.

Our bylaws include an indemnification provision under which we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents (including heirs and personal representatives) against all costs, charges and expenses actually and reasonably incurred, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment to which the director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of ours. Our bylaws further provide for the advancement of all expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amounts if it is determined that the party is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws. No advance will be made by us to a party if it is determined that the party acted in bad faith. The indemnification rights are contractual rights and will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or other agent, and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ours under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in said Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-B, except for the following:

In a private offering that commenced in October of 2006 and concluded in early 2007, the Registrant issued convertible bridge notes in the amount of $750,000 to a group of private investors. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum, expire eighteen months after issuance, and are convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $ .04 per share. The holders have the option to convert accrued interest on these notes into Common Stock of the Company at the same conversion rate.
 
In August 2006, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Calico Capital Management, LLC for financial management and strategic consulting services. The Agreement calls for the issuance of up to 4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, based on achievement of certain milestones. As of the date of this Prospectus, a total of 4,592,915 shares have been issued under this Agreement. The Consulting Agreement was amended and restated in March 2007 and terminated on November 13, 2007..
 
In June of 2007 the Registrant issued convertible notes in the principal amount of $86,000 to a group of investors. These notes bear interest at 10% per annum, expire on December 31, 2008, and are convertible into  Common Stock at a conversion price of $ .01 per share, but only if certain milestones relating to capital raising are satisfied.
 
In November 2007 the Registrant issued 3,400,000 shares of Common Stock to the shareholders of RJ Metals, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of that company.

28


In July of 2007 the Registrant completed a private offering, principally to private investment funds, in the amount of $1,025,000. The investors received convertible debentures that bear interest at 10% per annum, expire twelve months after issuance, and are convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $ .22 per share.
 
The transactions described above were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC.

Item 28. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and  

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

29


(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sionix Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sionix Corporation (a Nevada corporation) as of September 30, 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from October 3, 1994 (inception) to September 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sionix Corporation as of September 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from October 3, 1994 (inception) to September 30, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has deficit accumulated from inception amounting to $15,299,053 at September 30, 2006 including a net loss of $774,887 incurred in the year ended September 30, 2006. These factors as discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SIONIX CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Sionix Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Utah in 1985. The Company was formed to design, develop, and market automatic water filtration system primarily for small water districts.

The Company has completed its reincorporation as a Nevada corporation, effective July 1, 2003. The reincorporation was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger between Sionix Corporation, a Utah corporation ("Sionix Utah") and its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Sionix Corporation ("Sionix Nevada"). Under the merger agreement, Sionix Utah merged with and into Sionix Nevada, and each share of Sionix Utah’s common stock was automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Sionix Nevada. The merger was effected by the filing of Articles of Merger, along with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, with the Secretary of State of Nevada.
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company is in the development stage and its efforts have been principally devoted to research and development, organizational activities, and raising capital. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectibility of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is stated at cost. The cost of additions and improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated five year useful lives of the assets.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ADVERTISING

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $3,355 and $9,170 for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123 requires compensation expense to be recorded (i) using the new fair value method or (ii) using the existing accounting rules prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for stock issued to employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations with pro forma disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted the new fair value method. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee is required to pay for the stock.

F-10


The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Valuation of shares for services is based on the estimated fair market value of the services performed.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period's presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported income (loss).

REPORTING SEGMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131), which superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The company adopted this standard in 1998 and the implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements. During the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore segment disclosure has not been presented.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company's policy is to recognize revenues is in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, or other specific authoritative literature, as applicable. Accordingly, revenues from products sales are recorded when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the Company's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company's policy is to report its sales levels on a net revenue basis, with net revenues being computed by deducting from gross revenues the amount of actual sales returns and the amount of reserves established for anticipated sales returns.

The Company's policy for shipping and handling costs, billed to customers, is to include it in revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs." The purpose of this issue was to clarify the classification of shipping and handling revenues and costs. The consensus reached was that all shipping and handling billed to customers should be recorded as revenue. Accordingly, the Company records its shipping and handling amounts within net sales and operating expenses.

The Company has not generated any revenue since its inception.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments". SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAF No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 `Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets' this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:

 
1.
Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.

 
2.
Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.

 
3.
Permits an entity to choose `Amortization method' or Fair value measurement method' for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities:

 
4.
At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value.

 
5.
Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 `Fair Value Measurements'. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 `Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)' This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:

a.       A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b.       The date that adoption is required
c.       The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.

F-12


The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.

The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

7. NOTES PAYABLE UNDER EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT

During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company received $1,307,500 proceeds from promissory notes issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP, net of a 4% fee of $56,000 and $36,500 for escrow and other fees. The Company has settled $900,000 by issuing shares of common stock during the year ended September 30, 2003 (note 9). The notes payable outstanding at September 30, 2003, amounted to $500,000. The balance for the note payable outstanding at September 30, 2004 and 2005 were $233,115 and $233,115, respectively. In 2006, Company entered into a settlement agreement with Cornell Capital Partner to pay the total amount of $327,336; $50,000 payable by November 15, 2006, $25,000 payable per month on the 15th day of each month commencing December 15, 2006, with the balance of $27,336 due and payable on or before October 15, 2007. The Company recorded a loss on settlement on debt of $94,221 for the year ended September 30, 2006.

8. INCOME TAXES

Through September 30, 2006, the Company incurred net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $9,835,000. The net operating loss carryforward for federal and state purposes may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2025. The availability of the Company's net operating loss carryforward is subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company's stock.

A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets, as the utilization of the loss carry forward cannot reasonably be assured. Components of deferred tax asset at December 31, 2006 are as follows:

9.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON STOCK

The Company has 150,000,000 authorized shares, with 0.001 par value per share. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had 102,524,186 shares issued and outstanding.

The Company did not issue any shares for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

STOCK OPTIONS

2001 Executive Officers Stock Option Plan

In October of 2000, the Company entered into amendments to the employment agreement with each of the executive officers, eliminating the provisions of stock bonuses. In lieu of the bonus provision, the Company adopted the 2001 Executive Officers Stock option Plan. The Company reserved 7,576,680 shares for issuance under the plan.

The fair value of the options was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005: dividend yields of 0%; risk free interest rates of 6%; expected volatility of 100% and expected lives of 4.9 years.

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Because the exercise price of the options granted was greater than the fair value of the common stock at the grant date, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share for the year ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 would have been as follows:

   
2006
   
2005
 
             
Net loss as reported
  $ (774,887 )   $ (467,917 )
Net loss, pro forma

Basic loss per share as reported
  $ (0.01 )   $ (0.00 )
Basic loss per share, pro forma
  $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )

F-15


10. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per share were determined by dividing net income for the periods by the weighted average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Stocks to be issued are regarded as common stock equivalents and are considered in diluted earnings per share calculations.

Weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same since the effect of dilutive securities is antidilutive.

11. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Through September 30, 2006, the Company had incurred cumulative losses of $15,299,053, including current loss of $774,887. The Company's successful transition from a development stage company to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining financing adequate to fulfill its research and development activities, production of its equipment and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure. Management's plan of operations anticipates that the cash requirements for the next twelve months will be met by obtaining capital contributions through the sale of common stock and cash flow from operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to implement its plan.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Company paid $50,000 against a note payable under an equity line of credit in November 2006 (See note 7).

SIONIX CORPORATION
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Sionix Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Utah in 1985. The Company was formed to design, develop, and market automatic water filtration system primarily for small water districts.

The Company has completed its reincorporation as a Nevada corporation, effective July 1, 2003. The reincorporation was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger between Sionix Corporation, a Utah corporation ("Sionix Utah") and its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Sionix Corporation ("Sionix Nevada"). Under the merger agreement, Sionix Utah merged with and into Sionix Nevada, and each share of Sionix Utah’s common stock was automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Sionix Nevada. The merger was effected by the filing of Articles of Merger, along with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, with the Secretary of State of Nevada.
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company is in the development stage and its efforts have been principally devoted to research and development, organizational activities, and raising capital. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in these consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of the nine month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2007.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s policy to recognize revenues is in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, or other specific authoritative literature, as applicable. Accordingly, revenues from products sales are recorded when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; ( iii) the Company’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company’s policy is to report its sales levels on a net revenue basis, with net revenues being computed by deducting from gross revenues the amount of actual sales returns and the amount of reserves established for anticipated sales returns.

The Company’s policy for shipping and handling costs, billed to customers, is to include it in revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs." The purpose of this issue was to clarify the classification of shipping and handling revenues and costs. The consensus reached was that all shipping and handling billed to customers should be recorded as revenue. Accordingly, the Company records its shipping and handling amounts within net sales and operating expenses.

The Company has not earned any revenue since its inception to the date of this report.
 
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123-R, “Share-Based Payment”   (“SFAS 123-R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options based on their fair values. SFAS 123-R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”   (“APB 25”), which the Company previously followed in accounting for stock-based awards. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) to provide guidance on SFAS 123-R. The Company has applied SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123-R.

F-24


NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”). Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
 
ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates
 
ADVERTISING

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $3,385 and $3,310 for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
RECLASSIFICATION
 
For comparative purposes, prior period’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current period.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Company management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans−−an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". One objective of this standard is to make it easier for investors, employees, retirees and other parties to understand and assess an employer's financial position and its ability to fulfill the obligations under its benefit plans. SFAS No. 158 requires employers to fully recognize in their financial statements the obligations associated with single−employer defined benefit pension plans, retiree healthcare plans, and other postretirement plans. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to fully recognize in its statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year−end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 158 requires an entity to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87. This Statement requires an entity to disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. The Company is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. Company management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.

The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.

F-26


Note 7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company entered into various debenture agreements (the “Bridge Notes”) with several investors. Under the terms of the agreements, the notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The notes will automatically mature and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all unpaid and accrued interest, shall become due and payable after the earlier of (i) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date of issuance (ii) an event of default or (iii) the closing of any equity related financing by the Company in which the gross proceeds to the Company are at least $2,500,000, unless, prior to such time, the notes have been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The notes are convertible into shares of Common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share or shares of any equity security issued by the Company at a conversion price equal to the price at which such security is sold to any other party.

The conversion price is adjustable as per the terms of the agreement for the subsequent issuances of equity security at a price different than the conversion price.

The conversion price is also adjustable if a registration statement covering the underlying shares is not declared effective within 180 days after the closing, but in no case the conversion price to be reduced below $0.04 per share.

As of June 30, 2007 the Company had received $836,000 under the Bridge Notes.

On July 18, 2007 Sionix completed an offering of $1,025,000 of Subordinated Convertible Debentures to a group of institutional and accredited investors. The Subordinated Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock of Sionix at an initial conversion rate of $ .22 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. For each $100,000 of Convertible Debentures purchased, the investor received Warrants to purchase 227,272 shares of Common Stock.

The amount of the aggregate damages payable by Sionix is limited to 15% of the purchase price.

Note 9. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Through June 30, 2007, the Company had incurred cumulative losses of $16,400,573, including a current loss of $1,101,520. The Company’s successful transition from a development stage company to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining financing adequate to fulfill its research and development activities, production of its equipment and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Management’s plan of operations anticipates that the cash requirements for the next twelve months will be met by obtaining capital contributions through the sale of common stock and cash flow from operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to implement its plan.

PREMISES. 2.1 LETTING. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this Lease, or that may have been used in calculating rental, is an approximation which the Parties agree is reasonable and the rental based thereon is not subject to revision whether or not the actual size is more or less. 2.2 CONDITION. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee broom clean and free of debris on the Commencement Date or the Early Possession Date, whichever first occurs ("START DATE"), and, so long as the required service contracts described in Paragraph 7.1(b) below are obtained by Lessee within thirty (30) days following the Start Date, warrants that the existing electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems ("HVAC"), loading doors, sump pumps, if any, and all other such elements in the Premises, other than those constructed by Lessee, shall be to good operating condition on said date and that the structural elements of the roof, bearing walls and foundation of any buildings on the Premises (the "BUILDING") shall be free of material defects and that the Premises do not contain hazardous levels of any mold or fungi defined as toxic under applicable stat or federal law. If a non-compliance with said warranty exists as of the Start Date, or if one of such systems or elements should malfunction or fail within the appropriate warranty period, Lessor shall, as Lessor's sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify same at Lessor's expense. If, after the Start Date, Lessee does not give Lessor written notice of any non-compliance with this warranty within: (1) one year as to the surface of the roof and the structural portions of the roof, foundations and bearing walls, (ii) six (6) months as to the HVAC systems, (iii) thirty (30) days as to the remaining systems and other elements of the Building, correction of such non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense. 2.3 COMPLIANCE. Lessor warrants that to the best of its knowledge the improvements on the Premises comply with all applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of record, building codes, regulations and ordinances ("APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS") that were in effect at the time that each improvement, or portion thereof, was constructed. Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the Premises or to any Alterations or Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. NOTE: LESSEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT THE ZONING IS APPROPRIATE FOR LESSEE'S INTENDED USE, AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PAST USES OF THE PREMISES MAY NO LONGER BE ALLOWED. If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such -2- non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor's expense. If Lessee does not give Lessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within six (6) months following the Start Date, correction of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense. If the Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during the term of this Lease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Premises and/or Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other physical modification of the Unit, Premises and/or Building ("Capital Expenditure"), Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows: (a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital Expenditures are required as a result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last two (2) years of this Lease and the cost thereof exceeds six (6) months' Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessee's termination notice that Lessor has elected to pay the difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to six (6) months' Base Rent. If Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor written notice specifying a termination date at least ninety (90) days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than the last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital expenditure. (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the obligation to pay each month during the remainder of the term of this Lease, on the date that on which the Base rent is due, an amount equal to 144th of the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the Premises. Lessee shall pay interest on the balance but may prepay its obligation at any time. If however, such Capital Expenditure is required during the last two years of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies Lessor, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's termination notice that Lessee will pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate, and fails to tender its share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with Interest, from Rent until Lessor's share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance Lessor's share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this Lease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor. (c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, and Lessee shall not have any right to terminate this Lease. 2.4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by Lessor and/or Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with Applicable Requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act), and their suitability for Lessee's intended use; (b) Lessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the Premises; and (c) neither Lessor, Lessor's agents, nor any Broker has made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this Lease. In addition, Lessor acknowledges that: (i) Broker has made no representations, promises or warranties concerning Lessee's ability to honor the Lease or suitability to occupy the Premises; and (ii) it is Lessor's sole responsibility to investigate the financial capability and/or suitability of all proposed tenants. 2.5 LESSEE AS PRIOR OWNER/OCCUPANT. The warranties made by Lessor in Paragraph 2 shall be of no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start Date Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises. In such event, Lessee shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work. -3- 3. TERM. 3.1 TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3. 3.2 EARLY POSSESSION. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early possession. All other terms of this Lease (including, but not limited to, the obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall be in effect during such period. Any such early possession shall not affect the Expiration Date. 3.3 DELAY IN POSSESSION. Lessor agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts, Lessor is unable to deliver possession by such date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease. Lessee shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until it receives possession of the Premises and any period of rent abatement that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continued for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee. If possession is not delivered within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing within ten (10) days after the end of such sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder. If such written notice is not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel shall terminate. Except as otherwise provided, if possession is not tendered to Lessee by the Start Date and Lessee does not terminate. If possession of the Premises is not delivered within 120 days after the Commencement Date, this Lease shall terminate unless other agreements are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing. 3.4 LESSEE COMPLIANCE. Lessor shall not be required to tender possession of the Premises to Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5). Pending delivery of such evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations under this Lease from and after the Start Date, including the payment of Rent, notwithstanding Lessor's election to withhold possession pending receipt of such evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee is required to perform any other conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the Start Date shall occur but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are satisfied. 4. RENT. 4.1 RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent ("RENT"). 4.2 PAYMENT. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction (except as specifically permitted in this Lease), on or before the day on which it is due. All monetary amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. In the event that any invoice prepared by Lessor is inaccurate such inaccuracy shall not constitute a waiver and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the amount set forth in this Lease. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which less than the amount then due shall not be a waiver of Lessor's rights to the balance of such Rent, regardless of Lessor's endorsement of any check so stating. In the event that any check, draft, or other instrument of payment given by Lessee to Lessor is dishonored for any reason, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the sum of $25 in addition to any late charge and Lessor, at its option, may require all future Rent to be paid by cashier's check. Payments will be applied first to accrued late charges and attorney's fees, second to accrued interest, then to Base Rent and Common Area Operating Expenses, and any remaining amount to any other outstanding charges or costs. -4- 4.3 ASSOCIATION FEES. In addition to the Base Rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor each month an amount equal to any owner's association or condominium fees levied or assessed against the Premises. Said monies shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as the Base Rent. 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the Security Deposit as security for Lessee's faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails to pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor for Rents which will be due in the future, and/or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefor deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Lessee or to accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies with Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based on said change in financial condition. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Within ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease. 6. USE. 6.1 USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the premises only for the Agreed Use, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to neighboring premises or properties. Other than guide, signal and Seeing Eye dogs, Lessee shall not keep or allow any pets, animals, birds, fish, or reptiles. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any written request for a modification of the Agreed Use, so long as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the Improvements on the Premises or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, is not significantly more burdensome to the Premises. If Lessor elects to withhold consent, Lessor shall within seven (7) business days after such request give written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of Lessor's objections to the change in the Agreed Use. 6.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release, either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental authority, or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at Lessee's expense) with all Applicable Requirements. "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and/or (iii) the presence at the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Requirements requires that a notice be given to persons entering or -5- occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used in the normal course of the Agreed Use, so long as such use is in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the Premises or neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or liability, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or termination) of protective modifications (such as concrete encasements) and/or increasing the Security Deposit. (b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, other than as previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to Lessor, and provide Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other documentation which it has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Substance. (c) LESSEE REMEDIATION. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about the Premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system) and shall promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises during the term of this Lease, by or for Lessee, or any third party. (d) LESSEE INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages, liabilities, judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (provided, however, that Lessee shall have no liability under this Lease with respect to underground migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from adjacent properties). Lessee's obligations shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. NO TERMINATION, CANCELLATION OR RELEASE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY LESSOR AND LESSEE SHALL RELEASE LESSEE FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SO AGREED BY LESSOR IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF SUCH AGREEMENT . (e) LESSOR INDEMNIFICATION. Lessor and its successors and assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Lessee, its employees and lenders, harmless from and against any and all environmental damages, including the cost of remediation, which existed as a result of Hazardous Substances which existed on the Premises prior to Lessee's occupancy or which are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents or employees. Lessor's obligations, as and when required by the Applicable Requirements, shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. (f) INVESTIGATIONS AND REMEDIATION'S. Lessor shall retain the responsibility and pay for any investigations or remediation measures required by governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the existence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to Lessee's occupancy, unless such remediation measure is required as a result of Lessee's use (including "Alterations," as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the Premises, in which event Lessee shall be responsible for such payment. Lessee shall cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor, including allowing Lessor and Lessor's agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at reasonable times in order to carry out Lessor's investigative and remedial responsibilities. -6- (g) LESSOR TERMINATION OPTION. If a Hazardous Substance Condition (see Paragraph 9.1 (e)) occurs during the term of this Lease, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by the Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(d) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor's option, either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition, of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give a termination notice, Lessee may, within ten (10) days thereafter, give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition exceeds an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment. In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof within the time provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination. 6.3 LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, materially comply with all Applicable Requirements, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants which relate in any manner to the Premises, without regard to whether said requirements are now in effect or become effective after the Start Date. Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide Lessor with copies of all permits and other documents, and other information evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving the failure of Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements. Likewise, Lessee shall immediately give written notice to Lessor of: (i) any water damage to the Premises and any suspected seepage, pooling, dampness or other condition conducive to the production of mold; or (ii) any mustiness or other odors that might indicate the presence of mold in the Premises. 6.4 INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE. Lessor and Lessor's "LENDER" (as defined in Paragraph 30 below) and consultants shall have the right to enter into Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times after reasonable notice, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease. The cost of any such inspections shall be paid by Lessor, unless a violation of Applicable Requirements, or Hazardous Substance Condition (see paragraph 9.1) is found to exist or be imminent, or the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority. In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lesser for the cost of such inspections, so long as such inspection is reasonably related to the violation or contamination. In addition, Lessee shall provide copies of all relevant material safety data sheets (MSDS) to Lessor within 10 days of the receipt of a written request therefore. 7. MAINTENANCE; REPAIRS, UTILITY INSTALLATIONS; TRADE FIXTURES AND ALTERATIONS. 7.1 LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. (a) IN GENERAL. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 6.3 (Lessee's Compliance with Applicable Requirements), 7.2 (Lessor's Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14 (Condemnation), Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, keep the Premises, Utility Installations, and Alterations in good order, condition and repair (whether or not the portion of the Premises requiring repairs, or the means of repairing the same, are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises), including, but not limited to, all equipment or facilities, such as plumbing, heating, -7- ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, pressure vessels, fire protection system, fixtures, walls (interior and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roofs, floors, windows, doors, plate glass, skylights, landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences, retaining walls, signs, sidewalks and parkways located in, on, or adjacent to the Premises. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good order, condition and repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices, specifically including the procurement and maintenance of the service contracts required by Paragraph 7.1(b) below. Lessee's obligations shall include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of repair. Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, keep the exterior appearance of the Building in a first-class condition (including, e.g. graffiti removal) consistent with the exterior appearance of other similar facilities of comparable age and size in the vicinity, including, when necessary, the exterior repainting of the Building. (b) SERVICE CONTRACTS. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, procure and maintain contracts, with copies to Lessor, in customary form and substance for, and with contractors specializing and experienced in the maintenance of the following equipment and improvements, if any, if and when installed on the Premises: (i) HVAC equipment, (ii) boiler, and pressure vessels, (iii) fire extinguishing systems, including fire alarm and/or smoke detection, (iv) landscaping and irrigation systems, (v) roof covering and drains, (vi) driveways and parking lots, (vii) clarifiers, however, Lessor reserves the right, upon notice to Lessee, to procure and maintain any or all of such service contracts, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, upon demand, for the cost thereof. (c) FAILURE TO PERFORM. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after 10 days' prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf, and put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, and Lessee shall promptly pay to Lessor a sum equal to 115% of the cost thereof. (d) REPLACEMENT. Subject to Lessee's indemnification of Lessor as set forth in Paragraph 8.7 below, and without relieving Lessee of liability resulting from Lessee's failure to exercise and perform good maintenance practices, if an item described in Paragraph 7.1(b) cannot be repaired other than at a cost which is in excess of 50% of the cost of replacing such items, then such item shall be replaced by Lessor, and the cost thereof shall be prorated between the Parties and Lessee shall only be obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the term of this Lease, on the date on which Base Rent is due, an amount equal to the product of multiplying the cost of such replacement by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is 144 (i.e. 1/144th of the cost per month). Lessee shall pay interest on the unamortized balance but may prepay its obligation at any time. 7.2 LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 9 (Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), it is intended by the Parties hereto that Lessor have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain the Premises, or the equipment therein, all of which obligations are intended to be that of the Lessee. It is the intention of the Parties that the terms of this Lease govern the respective obligations of the Parties as to maintenance and repair of the Premises, and they expressly waive the benefit of any statute now or hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of this Lease. 7.3 UTILITY INSTALLATIONS; TRADE FIXTURES; ALTERATIONS. (a) DEFINITIONS; CONSENT REQUIRED. The term "UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" refers to all floor and window coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution, security and fire protection systems, communication systems, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and fencing in or on the Premises. The term "TRADE FIXTURES" shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment that can be removed without doing material damage to the Premises. The term "ALTERATIONS" shall mean any modification of the improvements, other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures, whether by addition or deletion. "LESSEE OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined as Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). -8- (b) CONSENT. Lessee shall not make any Alterations or Utility Installations to the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make non-structural Utility Installations to the Interior of the Premises (excluding the roof) without such consent but upon notice to Lessor, as long as they are not visible from the outside, do not involve puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, will not affect the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and/or life safety systems, and the cumulative cost thereof during this Lease as extended does not exceed a sum equal to 3 month's Base Rent in the aggregate or a sum equal to one month's Base Rent in any one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not make or permit any roof penetrations and/or install anything on the roof without the prior written approval of Lessor. Lessor may, as a precondition to granting such approval, require Lessee to utilize a contractor chosen and/or approved by Lessor. Any Alterations or Utility installations that Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to the Lessor in written form with detailed plans. Consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's: (i) acquiring all applicable governmental permits, (ii) furnishing Lessor with copies of both permits and the plans and specifications prior to commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with all conditions of said permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility installations shall be performed in a workmanlike manner with good and sufficient materials. Lessee shall promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications. For work which costs an amount in excess of one month's Base Rent, Lessor may condition its consent upon Lessee providing a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee's posting an additional Security Deposit with Lessor. (c) LIENS; BONDS. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or material men's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy, any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish a surety bond in an amount equal to 150% of the amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such action, Lessee shall pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs. 7.4 OWNERSHIP; REMOVAL; SURRENDER; AND RESTORATION. (a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require removal or elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations and Utility Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee, but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time, elect in writing to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per Paragraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises. (b) REMOVAL. By delivery to Lessee of written notice from Lessor not earlier than ninety (90) and not later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Lessor may require that any or all Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required consent. (c) SURRENDER; RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date, with all of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of debris, and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. "Ordinary wear and tear" shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Lease is for 12 months or less, then Lessee shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as delivered to Lessee on the Start Date with NO allowance for ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall repair any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade -9- Fixtures. Lessee Owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any storage tank installed by or for Lessee. Lessee shall completely remove from the Premises any and all Hazardous Substances brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (except Hazardous Substances which were deposited via underground migration from areas outside of the Premises, or if applicable, the Premises) even if such removal would require Lessee to perform or pay for work that exceeds statutory requirements. Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee. Any personal property of Lessee not removed on or before the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee and may be disposed of or retained by Lessor as Lessor may desire. The failure by Lessee to timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express written consent of Lessor shall constitute a holdover under the provisions of Paragraph 26 below. 8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY. 8.1 PAYMENT FOR INSURANCE. Lessee shall pay for all insurance required under Paragraph 8 except to the extent of the cost attributable to liability insurance carried by Lessor under Paragraph 8.2(b) in excess of $2,000,000 per occurrence. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to or extending beyond the Lease term shall be prorated to correspond to the Lease term. Payment shall be made by Lessee to Lessor within ten (10) days following receipt of an invoice. 8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE. (a) CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a Commercial General Liability Policy of Insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than $2,000,000. Lessee shall add Lessor as an additional insured by means of an endorsement at least as broad as the Insurance Service Organization's "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" Endorsement. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "INSURED CONTRACT" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee or any obligation hereunder. Lessee shall provide an endorsement on its liability policy (ies) which provides that its insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only. (b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall maintain liability insurance as described in Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured therein. 8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE--BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE. (a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Insuring Party shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor, any ground-lessor, and to any Lender(s) insuring loss or damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lenders, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof. If Lessor is the Insuring Party, however, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of -10- any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located. If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed $1,000 per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount in the event of an Insured Loss. (b) RENTAL VALUE. The Insuring Party shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor and any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one (1) year with an extended period of indemnity for an additional 180 days ("Rental Value insurance"). Said insurance shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall be liable for any deductible amount in the event of such loss. (c) ADJACENT PREMISES. If the Premises are part of a larger building, or of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to the Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property insurance of such building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises. 8.4 LESSEE'S PROPERTY/BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE. (a) PROPERTY DAMAGE. Lessee shall obtain and maintain insurance coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement of personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force. (b) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. Lessee shall obtain and maintain loss of income and extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or attributable to prevention of access to the premises as a result of such perils. (c) NO REPRESENTATION OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Lessor makes no representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate to cover Lessee's property, business operations or obligations under this Lease. 8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required herein shall be by companies duly licensed or admitted to transact business in the state where the Premises are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least A-, VI, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide", or such other rating as may be required by a Lender. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Start Date, deliver to Lessor certified copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such polices, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same. 8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the -11- amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be so long as the insurance is not invalidated thereby. 8.7 INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified. 8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Notwithstanding the negligence of this Lease by Lessor or its agents, neither Lessor nor its agents shall be liable under any circumstances for: (i) for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, indoor air quality, the presence of mold or from breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places. (ii) any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor or from failure of Lessor or its agents to enforce the provisions of any other lease in the Project, or (iii) injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. Instead, it is intended that Lessee's sole recourse in the event of such damages or injury be to file a claim on the insurance policy(ies) that Lessee is required to maintain pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 8. 8.9 FAILURE TO PROVIDE INSURANCE. Lessee acknowledges that any failure on its part to obtain or maintain the insurance required herein will expose Lessor to risks and potentially cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the extent of which will extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, for any month or portion thereof that Lessee does not maintain the required insurance and/or does not provide Lessor with the required binders or certificates evidencing the existence of the required insurance, the Base Rent shall be automatically increased, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, by an amount equal to 10% of the then existing Base Rent or $100, whichever is greater. The parties agree that such increase in Base Rent represents fair and reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will incur by reason of Lessee's failure to maintain such insurance, prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, nor relieve Lessee of its obligation to maintain the insurance specified in this Lease. 9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. 9.1 DEFINITIONS. (a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premises Partial Damage shall not include damage to windows, doors, and/or other similar items which Lessee has the responsibility to repair or replace pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 7.1. (b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or less from the date of the damage or -12- destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total. (c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any deductible amounts or coverage limits involved. (d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and without deduction for depreciation. (e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the occurrence or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises. 9.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE-INSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; (ii) have this Lease terminate thirty (30) days thereafter. Lessee shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party. 9.3 PARTIAL DAMAGE-UNINSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense), Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall be effective sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of the termination notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days after making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice. 9.4 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6. -13- 9.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6) months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one (1) month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of occurrence of such damage by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10)days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the termination notice and Lessee's option shall be extinguished. 9.6 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES . (a) ABATEMENT. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein. (b) REMEDIES. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within said thirty (30) days, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "COMMENCE " shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs. 9.7 TERMINATION-ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor. 10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES. 10.1 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAXES." As used herein, the term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES " shall include any form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises, Lessor's right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds are generated with reference to the Building address and where the proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Premises are located. Real Property Taxes shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein; (i) imposed by reason of events occurring during the term -14- of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the Premises, and (ii) levied or assessed on machinery or equipment provided by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Lease. 10.2 PAYMENT OF TAXES. In addition to Base Rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the Real Property Taxes installment due at least twenty (20) days prior to applicable delinquency date. If any such installment shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee's share of such installment shall be prorated. In the event Lessee incurs a late charge on any Rent payment, Lessor may estimate the current Real Property Taxes, and require that such taxes be paid in advance to Lessor by Lessee monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. Such monthly payments shall be an amount equal to the amount of the estimated installment of taxes divided by the number of months remaining before the month in which said installment becomes delinquent. When the actual mount of the applicable tax bill is known, the amount of such equal monthly advance payments shall be adjusted as required to provide the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount collected by Lessor is insufficient to pay such Real Property Taxes when due, Lessee shall pay Lessor, upon demand, such additional sum as is necessary. Advance payments may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, then any such advance payments may be treated by Lessor as an additional Security Deposit. 10.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed, Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed; such proportion to be conclusively determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably available. 10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause such property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement. 11. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered or billed. There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor shall not be liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions. 12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. 12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, "assign OR ASSIGNMENT ") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. (b) Unless Lessee is a corporation and its stock is publicly traded on a national stock exchange, a change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment requiring consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change in control for this purpose. (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of -15- the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent. " NET WORTH OF LESSEE " shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting principles. (d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor's option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price previously in effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) of the scheduled adjusted rent. (e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief. (f) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to proposed assignment or subletting if Lessee is in Default at the time consent is requested. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, allowing a de minimis portion of the Premises, i.e. 20 square feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in connection with the installation of a vending machine or payphone shall not constitute a subletting. 12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee. (b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for Lessee's Default or Breach. (c) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. (d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor. (e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, of any, together with a few of $500 as consideration for Lessor's considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested. (See also Paragraph 36) -16- (f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing. (g) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not transfer to the assignee or sublessee any Option granted to the original Lessee by this Lease unless such transfer is specifically consented to by Lessor in writing. (See Paragraph 39.2) 12.3 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein: (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary. (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor. (c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor. (d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. (e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee. 13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES . 13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. A " DEFAULT " is defined as a failure by the Lessee to comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or rules under this Lease. A " BREACH " is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period: (a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the Premises without providing a commercially reasonable level of security, or where the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable assurances to minimize potential vandalism. -17- (b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any Security Deposit required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of three (3) business days following written notice to Lessee. THE ACCEPTANCE BY LESSOR OF A PARTIAL PAYMENT OF RENT OR SECURITY DEPOSIT SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF ANY OF LESSOR'S RIGHTS, INCLUDING LESSOR'S RIGHT TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES. (c) The failure of Lessee to allow Lessor and/or its agents access to the Premises or the commission of waste, act or acts constituting public or private nuisance, and /or an illegal activity on the Premises by Lessee, where such actions continue for a period of three (3) business days following written notice to potential vandalism. (d) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) a Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice to Lessee. (e) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof, other than those described in subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. (f) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a " DEBTOR " as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph 13.1 (e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. (g) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false. (h) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor; (ii) the termination of a Guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty; (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy filing; (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty; or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease. 13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within ten (10) days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs -18- and expenses incurred by Lessor in such performance upon receipt of invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach: (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (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 the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (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 the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute. (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession. (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises. 13.3 INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as " INDUCEMENT PROVISIONS, " shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance. -19- 13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, 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 upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within five (5) business days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater. The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly in advance. 13.5 INTEREST. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within thirty (30) days following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to scheduled payments, or the thirty-first (31st) day after it was due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest (" INTEREST ") charged shall be computed at the rate of 10% per annum but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4. 13.6 BREACH BY LESSOR. (a) NOTICE OF BREACH. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. (b) PERFORMANCE BY LESSEE ON BEHALF OF LESSOR. In the event that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's expense and offset from Rent the actual and reasonable cost to perform such cure, provided, however, that such offset shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent or the Security Deposit, reserving Lessee's right to seek reimbursement from Lessor for any such expense in excess of such offset. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor. 14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively " CONDEMNATION "), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of any building portion of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area portion of the Premises not occupied by any building, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation. -20- 15. BROKERS' FEE. 15.1 ADDITIONAL COMMISSION. In addition to the payments owed pursuant to Paragraph 1.9 above, and unless Lessor and the Brokers otherwise agree in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option, (b) if Lessee or anyone affiliated with Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises owned by Lessor and located within the same Project, if any, within which the Premises is located, (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises, with the consent of Lessor, after the expiration of this Lease, or (d) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then, Lessor shall pay Brokers a fee in accordance with the schedule of said Brokers in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease. 15.2 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation hereunder. Each Broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of Paragraphs 1.9, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to a Broker any amounts due as and for commissions pertaining to this Lease when due, then such amounts shall accrue Interest. In addition, if Lessor fails to pay any amounts to Lessee's Broker when due, Lessee's Broker may send written notice to Lessor and Lessee of such failure and if Lessor fails to pay such amounts within ten (10) days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to its Broker and offset such amounts against Rent. In addition, Lessee's Broker shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any commission agreement entered into by and/or between Lessor and Lessor's Broker for the limited purpose of collecting any brokerage fee owed. 15.3 REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES OF BROKER RELATIONSHIPS. Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers, if any) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than said named Brokers is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto. 16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. (a) Each Party (as " RESPONDING PARTY ") shall within ten (10) days after written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in form similar to the then most current "ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE" form published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party. (b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within such ten day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the Requesting Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party's performance, and (iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance. Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Requesting Party's Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate. (c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including, but not limited to, Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. -21- 17. DEFINITION OF LESSOR. The term " LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined. 18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof. 19. DAYS. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word "days" as used in this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days. 20. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 17 above, the obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of Lessor, the individual partners of Lessor or its or their individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, and Lessee shall look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against the individual partners of Lessor, or its or their individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction. 21. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease. 22. NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. 23. NOTICES. 23.1 NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice, except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for notice. A copy of all notices to Lessor shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate in writing. 23.2 DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed given seventy-two (72) hours after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantee next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same to the Postal Service or courier. Notices transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered upon telephone confirmation of receipt, provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day. -22- 24. WAIVERS. (a) No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary to obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. (b) The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of monies or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment. (c) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE SHALL GOVERN WITH REGARD TO ALL MATTERS RELATED THERETO AND HEREBY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH STATUE IS INCONSISTENT WITH THIS LEASE. 25. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE NATURE OF A REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP. (a) When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows: (i) LESSOR'S AGENT. A Lessor's agent under a listing agreement with the Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor's agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessor. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. (ii) LESSEE'S AGENT. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only. In these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. (iii) AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH LESSOR AND LESSEE. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Lessor and the Lessee. a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. b. Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above in subparagraphs (i) or (ii). In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessor will accept rent in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willing to pay a higher rent than that offered. The above -23- duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor and Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advice about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. (b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the Start Date and that the liability (including court costs and attorney's fees), of any Broker with respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker. (c) Lessor and Lessee agree to identify to Brokers as "Confidential" any communication or information given to Brokers that is considered by such Party to be Confidential. 26. NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee. 27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity. 28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS; CONSTRUCTION OF AGREEMENT. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it. 29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which the Premises are located. 30. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE. 30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device (collectively, " SECURITY DEVICE "), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as "Lessor's Lender") shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof. 30.2 ATTORNMENT. In the event that Lessor transfers title to the Premises, or the Premises are acquired by another upon the foreclosure or termination of a Security Device to which this Lease is subordinated (i) Lessee shall, subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a such a new owner, and upon request, enter into a new lease, containing all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remainder of the term hereof, or, at the election of the new owner, this Lease will automatically become a new lease between Lessee and such new owner, and (ii) Lessor shall thereafter be relieved of any further obligations hereunder and such new owner shall assume all of Lessor's -24- obligations, except that such new owner shall not: (a) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, (c) be bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent, or (d) be liable for the return of any security deposit paid to any prior lessor which was not paid or credited to such new owner. 30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a " NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT ") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessee's possession of the Premises, and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance Agreement within said sixty (60) days, then Lessee may, at Lessee's option, directly contact Lessor's lender and attempt to negotiate for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement. 30.4 SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein. 31. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term, " PREVAILING PARTY " shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred.

The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given.

Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions. 43. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum.
