The insurance policies to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph12.3 shall satisfy the
requirements of subparagraphs 12.2(b) through (f) above.
12.4 Lessee Payment of Increase in Fire Insurance Cost.

13.
DESTRUCTION. If, during the term, the premises are totally or partially destroyed from fire or other casualty generally insurable under a "cause of loss-special form" policy of property insurance (excluding repairs resulting from vandalism or malicious mischief which shall be the sole obligation of Lessee), rendering the premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, Lessor shall restore the premises to substantially the same condition as they were on the commencement date, if the restoration can be made under the existing laws and can be completed within ninety (90) days after the date of the destruction. Such destruction shall not terminate this lease. If the restoration cannot be made in the time stated in this paragraph, then within fifteen (15) days after the parties determine that the restoration cannot be made in the time stated in this paragraph, Lessee may terminate this lease immediately by giving notice to Lessor. If Lessee fails to terminate this lease and if restoration is permitted under the existing laws, Lessor, at its election, may either terminate this lease or restore the premises within a reasonable time and this lease shall continue in full force and effect. If the existing laws do not permit the restoration, either party may terminate this lease immediately by giving notice to the other party. In no event shall Lessor be required to restore alterations made by Lessee, Lessee's improvements, Lessee's trade fixtures, and Lessee's personal property, such excluded items being the sole responsibility of Lessee to restore. Any extra expenses incurred by Lessor in the reconstruction of the premises or any portion of the building of which the premises is a part as a result of the use, storage or release of hazardous materials on the premises shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor within ten (10) days after Lessor's request for payment. In case of destruction there shall be an abatement or reduction of rent, between the date of destruction and the date of Lessor's completion of restoration, based on the extent to which the destruction interferes with Lessee's use of the premises. If the destruction occurs during the last year of the term, Lessor may terminate this lease by giving notice to Lessee not more than thirty (30) days after the destruction. Lessee hereby waives any statute now or hereafter in effect which grants a lessee the right to terminate a lease or which provides for an abatement of rent on account of damage or destruction. This waiver shall include, without limitation, A.R.S. Section 33-343.
14.
CONDEMNATION. If all or such portion of the premises so as, in the reasonable judgment of Lessor, to make the balance thereof untenantable is condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose or is transferred in avoidance of an exercise of the power of eminent domain (an "Appropriation"), then this lease shall terminate as of the date that title vests in the condemning authority. All rental and additional rent shall be paid up to such date of termination and Lessee shall have no further claim against Lessor nor against the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired term of the lease, and Lessor shall be entitled to receive any and all proceeds awarded on account of such Appropriation. In the event an Appropriation of a portion of the premises which does not result in a termination of this lease as provided
above, the rent payable hereunder shall be abated in the proportion which the portion of the premises so taken bears to the total premises immediately prior to the Appropriation. The entire award made by reason of any such partial Appropriation shall belong entirely to Lessor. No taking of any portion of the sidewalks or the parking area shall entitle Lessee to terminate this lease or to an abatement of rent and Lessee waives any statutory or other right to terminate this lease on account of any appropriation of the premises, the building or the property.
15.
ASSIGNMENT.
15.1 Prohibition Against Voluntary Assignment, Subletting and Encumbering. Lessee shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this lease or in the premises, or sublease all or any part of the premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the premises, or advertise that any portion of the premises is available for lease, without first obtaining Lessor's consent. If Lessor shall so require, Lessee, any guarantor and the assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, shall join in the execution of Lessor's form of consent. Any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease without Lessor's consent shall be voidable and, at Lessor's elections, shall constitute a default. No consent to any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this paragraph.
15.2 Deemed Transfer. If Lessee is a corporation, unincorporated association, a limited liability company, a partnership or other business entity, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Lessee, for the sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation of fifty percent (50%) or more of any stock or other ownership interest in such corporation, association, limited liability company, partnership or other business entity shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of and subject to the provisions of this paragraph 15. If, however, Lessee is a corporation whose stock is regularly traded on a national stock exchange or is regularly traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on NASDAQ, the transfer of stock, regardless of quantity, shall not constitute an assignment for the purposes of this lease.
15.3 Lessor's Consent Required. If Lessee desires at any time to assign this Lease or sublet the premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Lessor of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Lessor: (a) the name, address, telephone number and social security number, or tax payer identification number, as applicable, of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (b) the nature of the proposed subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in the premises; (c) a true, correct and complete copy of the proposed sublease or assignment; and (d) such financial information as Lessor may reasonably request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee. Lessee's failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph 15.3 shall entitle Lessor to withhold its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting.
15.4. No Release From Liability. No assignment, subletting or other transfer of the lease or the premises (with or without the consent of Lessor) shall release Lessee from primary liability under this lease and neither Lessee nor any guarantor of this lease shall be released from performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease.
15.5 Fees. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any other act the Lessee proposes to do, then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
16.
DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
16.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following events will constitute a default on the part of Lessee:
(a)
Failure to pay any installment of rent, additional rent or any other sum due and payable hereunder when such payment is due;
(b)
Failure to perform any of Lessee's agreements or obligations hereunder, if such failure (except a failure in the payment of any installment of rent, additional rent or any other monetary obligation hereunder) continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee, provided that if such default is other than the payment of money and cannot be cured within such ten (10) day period, then Lessee will not be in default hereunder if Lessee, within such ten (10) day period, commences curing of such failure and diligently and in good faith prosecutes the same to completion within twenty (20) additional days;
(c)
A general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(d)
The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Lessee or any of the guarantors or the filing of an involuntary petition by Lessee's or any of the guarantors' respective creditors, such involuntary petition remaining undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days;
(e)
Failure by Lessee to operate its business within the premises for more than ten (10) successive days;
(f)
The appointment of a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's or any of the guarantors' respective assets or of this leasehold, such receivership remaining undissolved for a period of thirty (30) days;
(g)
The levy of a writ of attachment or execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's or any of the guarantors' respective assets or this leasehold, such attachment, execution or other seizure remaining undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof; or
(h)
the occurrence of any event defined elsewhere in this lease as a "default"
16.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a default under this lease by Lessee, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute, exercise one or more of the following remedies, all of which shall be construed and held to be cumulative and non-exclusive:
(a)
Terminate this lease and re-enter and take possession of the premises, in which event, Lessor is authorized to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Lessor acting in good faith for the purposes of reletting the premises and the costs and expenses incurred in respect of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and the expenses of such reletting (including brokerage commissions) shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's statement;
(b)
Without terminating this lease, re-enter and take possession of the premises;
(c)
Without such re-entry, recover possession of the premises in the manner prescribed by any statute relating to summary process, and any demand for rent, re-entry for condition broken, and any and all notices to quit, or other formalities of any nature to which Lessee may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted by law;
(d)
Without terminating this lease, Lessor may relet the premises as Lessor may see fit without thereby avoiding or terminating this lease, and for the purposes of such reletting, Lessor is authorized to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Lessor acting in good faith for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not realized from such reletting (after payment of all costs and expenses of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and expenses of such reletting (including brokerage commissions) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom) each month to equal the rent and additional rent payable hereunder, then Lessee shall pay such deficiency each month within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's statement; or
(e)
Lessor may declare immediately due and payable all the remaining installments of rent and additional rent, and such amount, less the fair rental value of the premises for the remainder of the lease term shall be paid by Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's statement.
Lessor shall not by re-entry or any other act, be deemed to have terminated this lease, or the liability of Lessee for the total rent and additional rent reserved hereunder or for any installment thereof then due or thereafter accruing, or for damages, unless Lessor notifies Lessee in writing that Lessor has so elected to terminate this lease. After the occurrence of a default, the acceptance of rent or additional rent, or the failure to re-enter by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lessor's right to thereafter terminate this lease and exercise any other rights and remedies available to it, and Lessor may re-enter and take possession of the premises as if no rent or additional rent had been accepted after the occurrence of a default.
16.3 Interest on Past Due Amounts. In addition to late charge described in paragraph 16.4 below, if any installment of rent, additional rent or any other payment is not paid promptly when due, it will bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date on which it becomes due until paid; provided, however, this provision is not intended to relieve Lessee from any default in the making of any
payment at the time and in the manner herein specified. The foregoing interest, expenses and damages will be recoverable from Lessee by the exercise of Lessor's remedies hereinabove set forth.
16.4 Late Charge. Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent or additional rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by the lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if any installment of rent or additional rent due from Lessee is not received by Lessor within ten (10) days after it is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of the overdue rent or additional rent as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. No payments need be accepted after the tenth (10th) day of the month unless accompanied by the late payment charge. This provision shall not be construed to allow or permit Lessee to make payments after the due date or to waive any Lessor's rights in connection with a late payment.
16.5 Bankruptcy of Lessee. In the event of the bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, or dissolution of the Lessee, or in the event Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or in the event Lessee shall seek similar relief under any present or future Federal or State bankruptcy act, which relief results in a stay of the termination of this lease, then, the rent and additional rent payable hereunder shall be deemed to be an administrative expense. In addition, the Lessee, as debtor in possession, or if appointed, the Trustee in bankruptcy, must assume or reject this lease within sixty (60) days (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by law) after the filing of the petition in bankruptcy.
16.6 Additional Remedies. All of the remedies given to Lessor in this lease in the event Lessee commits a default are in addition to all other rights or remedies available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute. All rights, options and remedies available to Lessor shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other. Upon the occurrence of a default, all privileges and contingencies which may be exercised by Lessee under this lease including, without limitation, options to renew, extend and expand, as well as relocation rights, contraction rights or other rights which may be exercised by Lessee during the term shall be void and of no further force and effect.
16.7 NSF Checks. If any check of Lessee is returned for insufficient funds, Lessee shall pay Lessor a $75.00 processing charge and all bank fees assessed by Lessor's bank, in addition to payment of the amount due plus applicable interest and late charges; provided, however, this provision is not intended to relieve Lessee from any default in the making of any payment at the time and in the manner herein specified. If during the term of this lease a second check of Lessee is returned for insufficient funds, all future payments by Lessee shall be by cashier's checks or other immediately available funds.
16.8 Right to Cure. In the event Lessor shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in this lease on its part to be performed or observed, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of default (or if more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Lessor shall fail to commence the curing of said default within the thirty (30) day period and proceed diligently to completion), then Lessor shall be responsible to Lessee for any actual damages sustained by Lessee as a result of Lessor's breach, but not special, consequential or punitive damages. Lessee shall have no right to terminate this lease, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this lease, any claim (whether in contract, tort or for breach of any express or implied covenant contained in this lease) which Lessee may have against Lessor for failure to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in this lease shall be deemed waived unless such claim is asserted by written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the alleged default or of occurrence of the cause of action and unless suit be brought thereon within twelve (12) months subsequent to the accrual of such cause of action.
16.9 Lessor's Right to Perform Lessee's Covenants. If Lessee shall at any time fail to pay any sum in accordance with the provisions of this lease, or shall fail to make any other payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed, then Lessor, after ten (10) days' written notice to Lessee (or without notice in case of emergency) and without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligation of Lessee contained in this lease, may, but shall be under no obligation to: (a) pay any sum payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this lease, or (b) make any other
payment or perform any other act on Lessee's part to be made or performed as provided in this lease, and may enter upon the premises for any such purpose, and take all such action on the premises, as may be necessary for the premises. All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lessor in connection with the performance of any such act shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the respective dates of Lessor's making of each such payment or incurring of each such cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, until repaid by Lessee in full.
17.

Lessee shall, not later than ninety (90) days after the execution of this lease, cause to be installed upon the premises signage satisfying the requirements of the sign criteria attached to this lease as Schedule 3. Lessee shall not place or permit to be placed any sign, marquee, advertisement or awning on the premises without the written consent of Lessor. Lessee, upon request of Lessor, shall immediately remove any sign or decoration which Lessee has placed or permitted to be placed in, on, or about the premises which, in the opinion of Lessor, is objectionable or offensive, and if Lessee fails so to do, Lessor may enter the premises and remove the same. Lessor has reserved the exclusive right to the exterior sidewalls, rear wall and roof of said premises, and Lessee shall not place or permit to be placed upon said sidewalls, rear wall or roof, any sign, advertisement or notice without the written consent of Lessor. All signs shall be professionally prepared and shall be installed and maintained at the expense of Lessee in compliance with the sign ordinances of governmental authorities having jurisdiction. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay all fees imposed by governmental authorities with respect to its signage. Any signs placed upon the premises by Lessee which are not approved by Lessor may be removed by Lessor at the expense of Lessee. Lessee shall not alter, remove or relocate any existing signs on the premises without the prior written consent of Lessor. All of Lessee's signage shall conform to the then current sign criteria established by Lessor, as the same by be modified or updated by Lessor from time to time. Except as set forth in this paragraph 17, Lessee shall not erect or maintain any other signage on the premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this lease, Lessee shall remove its signage from the premises and shall repair any damage to the premises caused by the removal of Lessee's signage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may have its logo signage in conformance with the sign criteria. The logo colors are blue, black and silver.
18.

(a)
To determine whether the premises are in good condition and whether Lessee is complying with its obligations under this lease;

Lessor may, in its sole discretion, retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon or about the premises, excluding however, Lessee's vaults, safes and files.
19.
SUBORDINATION. This lease is and shall be subordinate to any encumbrance now of record or recorded after the date of this lease affecting the premises. Such subordination is effective without any further act of Lessee. Lessee shall from time to time on request from Lessor execute and deliver any documents or instruments that may be required by a lender to effectuate any subordination. If Lessee fails to execute and deliver any such documents or instruments, Lessee irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee's authorized agent to execute and deliver any such documents or instruments. Lessee shall attorn to any purchaser at any foreclosure sale, or any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure. Lessee shall execute the written agreement and any other document required by the lender to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph.
20.
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Lessee, within ten (10) days after notice from Lessor, shall execute and deliver to Lessor a certificate stating that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications. The certificate also shall state the amount of minimum monthly rent, the dates to which the rent has been paid in advance, the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent, that Lessor is not in breach or default of this lease (or if Lessor is in default, stating in detail such default), and setting forth such other information as may be reasonably requested by Lessor and as is factually correct. Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Lessee that this lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by Lessor, that not more than one month's rent or other charges have been paid in advance and Lessor is not in default under this lease and such other information is as certified by Lessor.
21.

All notices to be given to Lessee shall be given in writing personally or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Lessee at the premises, whether or not lessee has departed from, abandoned or vacated the premises.

22.
WAIVER. No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of rent, and such acceptance does not relieve Lessee's liability for any late charge or interest due on such rent payment accepted by Lessor.
23.

If Lessor hires an attorney by reason of breach or default by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees, and if either party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in connection with this lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit.
24.
HOLDING OVER. It is agreed that the date of termination of this lease and the right of Lessor to recover immediate possession of the premises thereupon is an important and material matter affecting the parties hereto and the rights of third parties, all of which have been specifically considered by Lessor and Lessee. In the event of any continued occupancy or holding over of the premises without the express written consent of Lessor beyond the end of the term hereof, whether in whole or in part, or by leaving property on the premises, or otherwise, this lease shall continue as a month-tomonth tenancy and Lessee will pay one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the rent then in effect pursuant to paragraph 4, in advance at the beginning of each held-over month, plus any other charges or payments contemplated in this lease, and any other costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, and attorney's fees incurred by Lessor on account of Lessee's holding over.

25.7 Conveyance by Lessor.

Lessee shall look solely to Lessor's interest in the premises for the satisfaction of any judgment or decree requiring the payment of money by Lessor which is based upon any claim Lessee may have against Lessor under this lease (whether in contract, tort or for breach of any express or implied covenant contained in this Lease). No other property or assets of Lessor, or any partner, member, shareholder or investor in Lessor shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for satisfaction of any such judgment or decree.
