not be deemed to impose an obligation upon Lessor to either have said
improvements or facilities or to provide those services unless the
Industrial Center already has the same, Lessor already provides the services,
or Lessor has agreed elsewhere in this Lease to provide the same or some of
them.
(d) Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by Lessee
within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses
is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's option, however, an amount may
be estimated by Lessor from time to time of Lessee's Share of annual
Operating Expenses and the same shall be payable monthly or quarterly, as
Lessor shall designate, during each twelve-month period of the Lease term, on
the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that Lessee pays
Lessor's estimate of Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses as aforesaid,
Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of
each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of
the actual Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If Lessee's
payments under this paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding year exceed
Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall be entitled to
credit the amount of such overpayment against Lessee's Share of Operating
Expenses next falling due. If Lessee's payments under this paragraph during
said preceding year were less than Lessee's Share as indicated on said
statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within ten
(10) days after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said statement.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
$10,396.61 as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's
obligations hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due
hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the
payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any
other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default,
or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer
thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit,
Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash
with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full
amount then required of Lessee. If the monthly rent shall, from time to
time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the time of
such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at all
times bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial
security deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 4.
Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its
general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder,
said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by
Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for
its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of
Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after
Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein
between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.
6. USE.
6.1 USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose of
manufacturing, developing & marketing of computer software and for no other
use without Lessor's prior written consent. See Addendum for additional
terms.
6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to
the use for which Lessee will occupy the Premises, does not violate any
covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable building code,
regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term commencement date. In
the event it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it
shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice from Lessee, to
promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation. In
the event Lessee does not give to Lessor written notice of the violation of
this warranty within six months from the date that the Lease term commences,
the correction of same shall be the obligation of the Lessee at Lessee's sole
cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2(a) shall be of no force
or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was an owner or
occupant of the Premises and, in such event, Lessee shall correct any such
violation at Lessee's sole cost.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements of any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in
effect or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a
change in policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the
term hereof, relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use
by Lessee of the Premises and of the Common Areas. Lessee shall not use nor
permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will
tend to create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of
the Industrial Center.
6.3 CONDITION OF PREMISES.
(a) Lessor shall deliver the premises to Lessee clean and free of
debris on the Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in
possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air
conditioning, heating, and loading doors in the Premises shall be in good
operating condition on the Lease commencement date. In the event that it is
determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the
obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting
forth with specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's
sole cost, rectify such violation. Lessee's failure to give such written
notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the Lease commencement date
shall cause the conclusive presumption that Lessor has complied with all of
Lessor's obligations hereunder. The warranty contained in this paragraph
6.3(a) shall be of no force or effect if prior to the date of this Lease,
Lessee was an owner or occupant of the Premises. See Addendum.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the Lease commencement
date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is
earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws,
ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises,
and any covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject
thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached
hereto. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made
any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
7. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND COMMON AREA SERVICES.
7.1 LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4.2
(Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.2 (Lessee's Obligations) and 9 (Damage or
Destruction) and except for damage caused by negligent or intentional act or
omission of Lessee, Lessee's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, or
invitees, in which event Lessee shall repair the damage, Lessor, at Lessor's
expense, subject to reimbursement pursuant to paragraph 4.2, shall keep in
good condition and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural
condition of interior bearing walls, and roof of the Premises, as well as the
parking lots, walkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility
installations of the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing
the services for which there is an Operating Expense pursuant to paragraph
4.2. Lessor shall not, however, be obligated to paint the exterior or
interior surface of exterior walls, nor shall Lessor be required to maintain,
repair or replace windows, doors or plate glass of the Premises. Lessor
shall have no obligation to make repairs under this paragraph 7.1 until a
reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Lessee of the need for
such repairs. Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or
hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make
repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's
failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair. Lessor
shall not be liable for damages or loss of any kind or nature by reason of
Lessor's failure to furnish any Common Area Services when such failure is
caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockout, or other labor
disturbances or disputes of any character, or by any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of Lessor.
7.2 LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessor's
Obligations), and 9 (Damage or Destruction), Lessee, at Lessee's expense,
shall keep in good order, condition and repair the Premises and every part
thereof (whether or not the damaged portion of the Premises or the means of
repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee) including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing, heating,
ventilating and air conditioning systems (Lessee shall procure and maintain,
at Lessee's expense, a ventilating and air conditioning system maintenance
contract), electrical and lighting facilities and equipment within the
Premises, fixtures, interior walls and interior surfaces of exterior walls,
ceilings, windows, doors, plate glass, and skylights located within the
Premises. Lessor reserves the right to procure and maintain the ventilating
and air conditioning system maintenance contract and if Lessor so elects,
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, upon demand, for the cost thereof. Lessee
shall be responsible for clean-up of all hazardous waste occurring in or
about the premises.
(b) If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this
paragraph 7.2 or under any other paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may enter
upon the Premises after ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lessee (except
in the case of emergency, in which no notice shall be required), perform such
obligations on Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in good order, condition
and repair, and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the
maximum rate then allowable by law shall be due and payable as additional
rent to Lessor together with Lessee's next Base Rent installment.
(c) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same
condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of
debris. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed
ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good
maintenance practices. Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises
occasioned by the installation or removal of Lessee's trade fixtures,
alterations, furnishings and equipment. Notwishstanding anything to the
contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines,
power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space
heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and fencing on the Premises in good
operating condition.
7.3 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent make
any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations in, on or
about the Premises, or the Industrial Center, except for nonstructural
alterations to the Premises not exceeding $2,500 in cumulative costs, during
the term of this Lease. In any event, whether or not in excess of $2,500 in
cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or alteration to the
Initials:

exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the Building nor the Industrial
Center without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in this paragraph 7.3 the
term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window coverings, air lines,
power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters,
air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may require that Lessee remove
any or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
at the expiration of the term, and restore the Premises and the Industrial
Center to their prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to
one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor
against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure
completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, Lessor
may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any
or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
in or about the Premises or the Industrial Center that Lessee shall desire to
make and which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor
in written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent,
the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so
from appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to
Lessor prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) 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 in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises, or the Industrial Center, or any
interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice
prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the
Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any
such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement
thereof against the Lessor or the Premises or the Industrial Center, upon the
condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety
bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or
demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the
Premises and the Industrial Center free from the effect of such lien or claim.
In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs
in participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to Lessor's best
interest to do so.
(d) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall be the property of
Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
expiration of the Lease term, unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to
paragraph 7.3(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7.3(d),
Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to the
Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises,
and other than Utility Installations, shall remain the property of Lessee and
may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of paragraph 7.2.
7.4 UTILITY ADDITIONS. Lessor reserves the right to install new or
additional utility facilities throughout the Building and the Common Areas for
the benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Industrial Center,
including, but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical
systems, security systems, communication systems, and fire protection and
detection systems, so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere
with Lessee's use of the Premises.
8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.

SEE PAGE 8 AFTER ARTICLE NUMBER 49
8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE -- LESSOR. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury

liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Industrial Center in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the

extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is
required by a lender having a lien on the Premises) special extended perils
("all risk", as such term is used in the insurance industry), plate glass
insurance and such other insurance as Lessor deems advisable. In addition,
Lessor shall obtain and keep in force, during the term of this Lease, a policy
of rental value insurance covering a period of one year, with loss payable to
Lessor, which insurance shall also cover all Operating Expenses for said period.
In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as defined in
paragraph 9.1(g) hereof, the deductible amounts under the casualty insurance
policies relating to the Premises shall be paid by Lessee.

(a) After the term of this Lease has commenced, Lessee shall not be
responsible for paying Lessee's Share of any increase in the property insurance
premium for the Industrial Center specified by Lessor's insurance carrier as
being caused by the use, acts or omissions of any other lessee of the Industrial
Center, or by the nature of such other lessee's occupancy which create an
extraordinary or unusual risk.
(b) Lessee, however, shall pay the entirety of any increase in the
property insurance premium for the Industrial Center over what it was
immediately prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease if the increase
is specified by Lessor's insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of
Lessee's occupancy or any act or omission of Lessee.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall
not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance
policies carried by Lessor. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of liability
insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days after the
commencement date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancellable or subject
to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders"
thereof.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other
for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against
which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to the
negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or
invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance
required give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing
mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Industrial Center,
or from the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things
done, permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and
shall further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation
on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from
any act or omission of Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or
employees, and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessor by reason of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall
defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessee, as a material
part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property of Lessee or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Industrial Center
arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof
against Lessor. See Addendum.
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of
income therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises or the Industrial Center, nor shall Lessor be
liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or
contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire,
steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Industrial Center, or from other
sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or
injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Lessee. Lessor
shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any
other lessee, occupant or user of the Industrial Center, nor from the failure
of Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other lease of the Industrial
Center.

Building of which the Premises are a part is damaged or destroyed to the
extent that the cost to repair is fifty percent or more of the then
replacement cost of the Building.
(e) "Industrial Center Buildings" shall mean all of the buildings on
the Industrial Center site.
(f) "Industrial Center Buildings Total Destruction" shall mean if the
Industrial Center Buildings are damaged or destroyed to the extent that the cost
of repair is fifty percent or more of the then replacement cost of the
Industrial Center Buildings.

(g) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction which was covered
by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in paragraph 8.
The fact that an Insured Loss has a deductible amount shall not make the loss an
uninsured loss.

spent in order to repair or rebuild the damaged area to the condition that
existed immediately prior to the damage occurring excluding all improvements
made by lessees.
9.2 PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE; PREMISES BUILDING PARTIAL DAMAGE.

expense, repair such damage to the Premises, but not Lessee's fixtures,
equipment or tenant improvements, as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect.
(b) Uninsured Loss: Subject to the provisions of paragraph 9.4 and
9.5, if at any time during the term of this Lease there is damage which is not
an Insured Loss and which falls within the classification of Premises Partial
Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, unless caused by a negligent or
willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's
expense), which damage prevents Lessee from using the Premises, Lessor may at
Lessor's option 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) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the
date of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and
terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. In the

terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention to
repair such damage at Lessee's expense, without reimbursement from Lessor, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessee shall
proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible. If Lessee does not
give such notice within such 10-day period this Lease shall be cancelled and
terminated as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.
9.3 PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION; PREMISES BUILDING TOTAL DESTRUCTION;

written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of
such damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease, in which
case this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date of the
occurrence of such damage.
9.4 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM.
(a) Subject to paragraph 9.4(b), if at any time during the last six
months of the term of this Lease there is substantial damage, whether or not an
Insured Loss, which falls within the classification of Premises Partial Damage,
Lessor may at Lessor's option cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of
occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that Lessee has an
option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which said option may
be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such option, if it is to
be exercised at all, no later than twenty (20) days after the occurrence of an
Insured Loss falling within the classification of Premises Partial Damage during
the last six months of the term of this Lease. If Lessee duly exercises such
option during said twenty (20) day period, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense,
repair such damage, but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements,
as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option during said twenty (20) day

of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10) days after the expiration of said
twenty (20) day period, notwithstanding any term or provision in the grant of
option to the contrary.
9.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) In the event Lessor repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to
the provisions of this paragraph 9, the rent payable hereunder for the period
during which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired.
Except for abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor
for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or
restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises
under the provisions of this paragraph 9 and shall not commence such repair or
restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee
may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written
notice of Lessee's election to do so at any time prior to the commencement of
such repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of such notice.
9.6 TERMINATION -- ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall,
in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit as has not
theretofore been applied by Lessor.
9.7 WAIVER. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statute which
relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and agree that
such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the real property tax, as defined
in paragraph 10.3, applicable to the Industrial Center subject to reimbursement
by Lessee of Lessee's Share of such taxes in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 4.2, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.2.
10.2 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Lessee shall not be responsible for paying
Lessee's Share of any increase in real property tax specified in the tax
assessor's records and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements
placed upon the Industrial Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the
exclusive enjoyment of such other lessees. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor
at the time that Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the
entirety of any increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of
additional improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's
request.
10.3 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX." As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Industrial Center or any portion thereof by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary,
fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any
legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or in any portion
thereof, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and as
against Lessor's business of leasing the Industrial Center. The term "real
property tax" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in
substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge
hereinabove included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the
nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged
prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged, has been increased since June
1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or
total, of Lessor's interest in the Industrial Center or which is added to a tax
or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of real property tax by
reason of such transfer, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction,
any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.
10.4 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Industrial Center is not separately
assessed, Lessee's Share of the real property tax 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
determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's
work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's
reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.
10.5 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee
shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with
Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the taxes attributable to
Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth
the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to the
Premises, Lessee shall pay at Lessor's option, either Lessee's Share of a
reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered
with other premises in the Building.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under paragraph 13.1. See
Addendum for additional terms.

12.3 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ASSIGNMENT. Regardless of Lessor's consent,
no assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the Base Rent and Lessee's Share of
Operating Expenses, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by
Lessee hereunder. Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
pending approval or disapproval of such assignment. Neither a delay in the
approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of rent shall
constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies
for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this
Lease. Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or
any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof,
Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of
exhausting remedies against said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent
assignments of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with
assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee,
and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not
relieve Lessee of liability under this Lease.
12.4 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. Regardless of
Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any
subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be included
in subleases:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or
hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and
apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however,
that until a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing
under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other
assignment of such sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the
rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such
sublessee under such sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor
stating that a default exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents due and to become due under the
sublease. Lessee agrees that such sublessee shall have the right to rely upon
any such statement and request from Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay
such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether
such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee
to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against such sublessee
or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless
and until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any
sublease, Lessee shall use only such form of sublease as is satisfactory to
Lessor, and once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or
modified without Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublessee shall, by
reason of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with
each and every obligation herein to be performed by Lessee other than such
obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a
sublease to which Lessor has expressly consented in writing.
(c) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed
by third parties, then a sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto, shall not be
effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease
and the terms thereof.
(d) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not release
Lessee from its obligations or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay
the rent and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Lessee to be
performed under this Lease.
(e) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any assignment or
subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent
sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or
modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on the
Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall
not relieve such persons from liability.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible
for the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first
exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible
therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease
from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such
sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents
or security deposit paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior
defaults of Lessee under such sublease.
(h) Each and every consent required of Lessee under a sublease
shall also require the consent of Lessor.
(i) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(j) Lessor's written consent to any subletting of the Premises by
Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no default then exists
under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall such
consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.
(k) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented,
Lessor agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the
sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee
within ten (10) days after service of said notice of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset
from and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.
12.5 ATTORNEY'S 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 act Lessee proposes to
do then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in
connection therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such
request.
13. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other
payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such
failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this subparagraph.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by
Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than described in
paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessee's noncompliance is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not
be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
To the extent permitted by law, such thirty (30) day notice shall constitute
the sole and exclusive notice required to be given to Lessee under applicable
Unlawful Detainer statutes.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes 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. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d)
is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or
effect.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to
Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, was materially false. See Addendum.
13.2 REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default by Lessee,
Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate
and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor.
In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages
incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default 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
attorney's fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at
the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee
proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing commission
paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired term of
this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease
shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or
abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all
of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of
Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law. Lessor's remedies shall include the
relief set forth in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.
13.3 DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but
in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to
Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to
Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such
obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor
shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses or other
sums due hereunder 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 on Lessor by the terms of any
mortgage or trust deed covering the Property. Accordingly, if any installment
of Base Rent, Operating Expenses, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not
be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount.
The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment
by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount,
nor prevent Lessor from exercising 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 any of
the aforesaid monetary obligations of Lessee, then Base Rent shall
automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than
monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease
to the contrary.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Industrial
Center are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat
of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called
"condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the
date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first
occurs. If more than ten percent of the floor area of the Premises, or more
than twenty-five percent of that portion of the Common Areas designated as
parking for the Industrial Center is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only 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 rent
shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total floor area of the Premises. No reduction of rent shall
occur if the only area taken is that which does not have the Premises located
thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under
the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise
of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be
made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the
taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee
shall be entitled to any award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade
fixtures and removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of
severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation,
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the
extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority.
Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to
complete such repair.
15. BROKER'S FEE.
(a) Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay to
N/A Licensed real estate broker(s), a fee as set forth in a separate
agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), or in the event there is no
separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), the sum of $ N/A, for
brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.
(b) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor but also
on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity having an
ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when such fee
is due hereunder. Any transferee of Lessor's interests in this Lease, whether
such transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have
assumed Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Said broker shall be a
third party beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph 15.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Each party (as "responding party") shall at any time upon not less
than ten (10) days' prior written notice from the other party ("requesting
party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in
writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and
the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and
(ii) acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party's knowledge,
any uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied
upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or of the
business of the requesting party.
(b) At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material default of this Lease by the
party who is to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it
shall be conclusive upon such party that (i) this 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.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Property, or
any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser
designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably
required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past
three (3) years' financial statements of Lessee. 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.
17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only the
owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Industrial Center, and except as expressly
provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or
interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then
the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of
all liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed,
provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the
time of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to
the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by
Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and
assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.
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. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided,
any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum
rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall
not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however,
that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on
any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations
to be performed under this Lease.
21. ADDITIONAL RENT. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Lessee's Share of Operating
Expenses and insurance and tax expenses payable shall be deemed to be rent.
22. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No
prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such
matter shall be effective. This lease may be modified in writing only, signed
by the parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as
otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the
real estate broker listed in paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker
on this transaction nor the Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said
persons has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee
relative to the condition or use by Lessee of the Premises or the Property
and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the
Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the
Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations
in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise specifically
stated in this Lease.
23. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be
in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and if
given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed
to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the
respective parties, as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the
other specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon
Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or
permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted
to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor or 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 such rent.
25. RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of
this Lease for recording purposes.
26. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of
the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof,
such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions
of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all Options, if
any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be
of no further effect during said month to month tenancy.

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. Each provision of this Lease performable by
Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions hereof
restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions
of paragraph 17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the State where the Industrial Center is located and any litigation
concerning this Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the
county in which the Industrial Center is located.
30. SUBORDINATION.
(a) This Lease, and any Option granted hereby, at Lessor's option,
shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any
other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Industrial
Center and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of
this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and
any Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust
or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease
and such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or
ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or
subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the
date of recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease or any Option granted
herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as
the case may be. Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10)
days after written demand shall constitute a material default by Lessee
hereunder without further notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option, Lessor
shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact.
Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as
Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute
such documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).
31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an
action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the
prevailing party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to
his reasonable attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the
court. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the
broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the
same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and
making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises
or to the building of which they are part as Lessor may deem necessary or
desirable. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or the
Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the
last 120 days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Lease" signs. All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall
be without abatement of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee
for the same.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common
Areas without first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be
obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to
grant such consent.
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or the
Industrial Center without Lessor's prior written consent. Under no
circumstances shall Lessee place a sign on any roof of the Industrial Center.
35. MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of the Lessor, operate as an assignment to
Lessor of any or all of such subtenancies.
36. CONSENTS. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
37. GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Property.
39. OPTIONS.
39.1 DEFINITION. As used in this paragraph the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease
or to renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on
other property of Lessor; (2) the option or right of first refusal to lease
the Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right
of first refusal to lease other space within the Industrial Center or other
property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other space within
the Industrial Center or other property of Lessor; (3) the right or option to
purchase the Premises or the Industrial Center, or the right of first refusal
to purchase the Premises or the Industrial Center, or the right of first
offer to purchase the Premises or the Industrial Center, or the right or
option to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first refusal to
purchase other property of Lessor or the right of first offer to purchase
other property of Lessor.
39.2 OPTIONS PERSONAL. Each Option granted to Lessee in this Lease is
personal to the original Lessee and may be exercised only by the original
Lessee while occupying the Premises who does so without the intent of
thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises or any portion
thereof, and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Lessee, provided,
however, that an Option may be exercised by or assigned to any Lessee
Affiliate as defined in paragraph 12.2 of this Lease. The Options, if any,
herein granted to Lessee are not assignable separate and apart from this
Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either
by reservation or otherwise.
39.3 MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple options
to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless the
prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.
39.4 EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i)
during the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of
default pursuant to paragraph 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the
noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the
period of time commencing on the date after a monetary obligation to Lessor
is due from Lessee and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to
Lessee) and continuing until the obligation is paid, or (iii) at any time
after an event of default described in paragraphs 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e)
(without any necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee),
nor (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee three or more notices
of default under paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the
defaults are cured, during the 12 month period of time immediately prior to
the time that Lessee attempts to exercise the subject Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise
an Option because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).
(c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due
and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the
term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of
Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due
(without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii)
Lessee fails to commence to cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(c)
within thirty (30) days after the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of
such default and/or Lessee fails thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure
to completion, or (iii) Lessee commits a default described in paragraph
13.1(a), 13.1(d) or 13.1(e) (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice
of such default to Lessee), or (iv) Lessor gives to Lessee three or more
notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or
not the defaults are cured.
40. SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for
the benefit of the Premises or the Industrial Center. Lessee assumes all
responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents, and invitees and the
property of Lessee and of Lessee's agents and invitees from acts of third
parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Lessor, at Lessor's sole
option, from providing security protection for the Industrial Center or any
part thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within the
definition of Operating Expenses, as set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).
41. EASEMENTS. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to
grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or
desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so
long as such easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall
sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure
to do so shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee without
the need for further notice to Lessee.
42. 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. If it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part
of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be
entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally
required to pay under the provisions of this Lease.

43. AUTHORITY. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation,
trust or partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution
of this Lease, deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to
Lessor.
44. CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and
the typewritten or handwritten provisions, if any, shall be controlled by the
typewritten or handwritten provisions.
45. OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by Lessor or Lessor's agent and submission
of same to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to lease. This Lease shall
become binding upon Lessor and Lessee only when fully executed by Lessor and
Lessee.
46. ADDENDUM. Attached hereto is an addendum or addenda containing
paragraphs A through H which constitute a part of this Lease.
47. MODIFICATION FOR LENDER. If in connection with obtaining financing for
the building, the Lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease
as a condition to such financing, Lessee will not unreasonably withhold,
delay, or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not
increase the obligations of Lessee hereunder or materially adverse affect the
leasehold interest hereby created.
48. LESSOR OPTION TO RELOCATE LESSEE. At any time after Lessee's execution
of this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, upon providing Lessee thirty (30)
days notice in writing, to provide and furnish Lessee with space elsewhere in
the building of approximately the same size as said Premises, and to move and
place Lessee in such new space at Lessor's expense. In the event Lessor moves
Lessee to such new space, then this Lease and each and all of the terms and
covenants and conditions hereof shall thereupon remain in full force and
effect and be deemed applicable to such new space except that a revised
Exhibit "A" shall become a part of this Lease and shall reflect the location
of the new space and Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 and 5 shall be amended to show
correct data. Should Lessee refuse to permit Lessor to move Lessee to such
new space at the end of said thirty (30) day period, Lessor shall have the
right to terminate this Lease by notice to such effect given to Lessee in
writing within ten (10) days following the end of said thirty (30) day
period, which termination shall be effective sixty (60) days after the date
of the original relocation by Lessor.
49. MORTGAGE PROTECTION. Lessee agrees to give any mortgages and/or trust
deed holders, as to all or a potion of the Premises, by registered mail, a
copy of any notice of default served upon Lessor, provided that prior to such
notice Lessee has been notified in writing (by way of notice or assignment of
rents and leases, or otherwise) of the addresses of such mortgages and/or
trust deed holders. Lessee agrees not to exercise any remedies available by
virtue of a default unless Lessor shall have failed to cure such default
within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of default or such additional
time as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default in the case of a
default incapable of being cured within thirty (30) days. Lessee further
agrees that the mortgages and/or trust deed holder shall have an additional
thirty (30) days within which to cure such default, or if such default cannot
be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if
within such thirty (30) days any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such
default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings
if necessary to effect such cure), in which event such right, if any, as
Lessee might otherwise have to terminate the Lease shall not be exercised
while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.
8.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE--LESSEE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain
and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Comprehensive
General Liability insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office standard
form with Broad Form General Liability Endorsement (GLO404), or equivalent,
in an amount of not less than 1) $1,000,000 per occurrence of Bodily Injury
and Property Damage combined single limit with a $1,000,000 excess liability
policy, or 2) $1,000,000 per occurrence of Bodily Injury and Property Damage
with a $2,000,000 General Aggregate Bodily Injury and Property Damage, and
shall insure Lessee with Lessor as an additional insured against liability
arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. The policy
shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this
paragraph 8. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee hereunder.
