Commencement Date, and prior to commencement of each calendar year
thereafter, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant its reasonable
estimate of Expenses for the Project for the coming year. Tenant's

Landlord, monthly, in advance, as additional rent, one-twelfth of the
product achieved by multiplying the then current estimate of annual
Expenses by the Premises Percent of Project set forth in Section 1.7.

shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses incurred during the
prior calendar year. If the amount of additional rent paid by Xxxxxx as
Xxxxxx's Share during the preceding calendar year was less than the
actual amount of Tenant's Share of Expenses, Landlord shall so notify
Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between said two
amounts within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Such amount
shall be deemed to have accrued during the prior calendar year and
shall be due and payable from Tenant even though the Term of this Lease
may have terminated prior to Tenant's receipt of the notice. If the
amount of additional rent paid by Xxxxxx as Xxxxxx's Share during the
preceding calendar year was greater than the actual amount of Tenant's
Share of Expenses, then Landlord shall promptly so notify Tenant and
such overpayment shall be credited by Landlord or, at the end of the
Lease Term, shall be immediately refunded to Tenant to the monthly
payment of Tenant's Share of Expenses next due from Tenant to Landlord.
In no event shall such credit be used to offset or in any way reduce
the Base Monthly Rent. During February 1998 and March 1, 1998 Tenant
shall pay twenty five (25) percent of the Expenses due for each of
these months.
4.4 RENT WITHOUT OFFSET. All rent shall be paid by Tenant to

whatsoever. All rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the United
States of America. All rent due for any partial month shall be
prorated, when appropriate, at the rate of one-thirtieth (1/30) of the
total monthly rent per day.
4.5 LATE CHARGE. Time is of the essence to the performance of this
Lease. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
any base monthly rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause
Landlord to incur costs and damages, including but not limited to
processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed
on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance secured by the Premises, as
well as the loss of the use and time value of money. Landlord and
Xxxxxx specifically agree and acknowledge that the exact amount of such
costs and damages would be difficult or impossible to prove. Provided
that Landlord and Tenant initial here:

TENANT
---------------

Xxxxxx agrees that, if any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not
received when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal
to TEN (10) PERCENT OF THE UNPAID BALANCE DUE. Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree that they have attempted to estimate the amount of costs
and damages which would result from delay in payment, and that the
agreed late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs and damages that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late
payment in light of the anticipated or actual harm which would be
caused by such delays, the difficulties of proof of loss, and the
inconvenience or nonfeasibility of Landlord otherwise obtaining an
adequate remedy. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums,
plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the rate per annum set
forth in Section 1.9 above. Any payments of any kind returned
insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of
$25.00.
6. DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord the amount of the security deposit set forth in Section 1.10(4)
(herein the "Security Deposit"), in part as security for the performance by
Tenant of the provisions of this Lease. In the event of default by Tenant,
Landlord shall have the right to use the Security Deposit or any portion of
it to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for all damage sustained by
Landlord resulting from Xxxxxx's default. Upon demand, Xxxxxx shall
immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security
Deposit so expended or applied so as to maintain the Security Deposit in the
amount initially deposited with Landlord. If Tenant is not in default at the
expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the entire
Security Deposit to Tenant. Landlord's obligations with respect to the
Security Deposit are not those of a trustee, such that, for example, Landlord
may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's general funds. Landlord
shall not be required to pay Tenant interest with respect to the Security
Deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash any check
tendered as the Security Deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall
not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord
does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall immediately return the Security
Deposit.
7. CONDITION AND USE OF PREMISES AND PROJECT FACILITIES. Tenant shall
use the Premises solely for the purpose set forth in Section 1.4 and for no
other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant

regulations affecting the Premises and the Project, including without
limitation any rules and regulations that may be attached to this Lease and
to any reasonable none-discriminatory modifications to these rules and
regulations as Landlord may adopt from time-to-time. Should Tenant do or
permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything
in the Premises that in any way increases the premiums paid by Landlord on
its insurance related to the Project or which will in any way increase the
premiums for fire or casualty insurance carried by other tenants in the
Project. Tenant shall pay for said increase in premium. Tenant will not
perform any act or carry on any practice that may injure the Premises or the
Project, be a nuisance or menace to other tenants in the Project, or in any
way interfere with the quiet enjoyment of such other tenants. Tenant shall
not use the Premises for sleeping, washing clothes, cooking or the
preparation, manufacture or mixing of anything that might emit any
objectionable odor, noises, vibrations or lights onto such other tenants. If

assignment or sublease shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder and
Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of each term hereof. Any
assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be
voidable and, at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default. If Tenant is a
partnership, withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of
law, of any partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a
voluntary assignment. If Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported
assignment, voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law from one person to
the other shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. All rent received by Tenant
from its subtenants in excess of the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under
this Lease shall be paid to Landlord, or any sums to be paid by an assignee to
Tenant in consideration of the assignment of this Lease shall be paid to
Landlord. If Tenant requests Xxxxxxxx to consent to a proposed assignment or
subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately
given, $100 or Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection with
such request, whichever is greater. SEE ADDENDUM A-3
No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary
assignment through operation of law (including without limitation the transfer
of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be
considered an involuntary assignment: (a) If Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or
insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes
proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is bankrupt; or if Tenant
is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner
of the partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or
insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors: or (b) if a writ
of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) if in any proceeding
or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to
take possession of the Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a
default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this
Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant.
19. DEFAULT. In addition to the acts, events, and omissions elsewhere
specified in this Lease as such, the occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default by Tenant: (a) A failure to pay rent or other charge
when due; (b) Abandonment of the Premises (failure to occupy and operate the
Premises for ten consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment and
vacation); and (c) Failure to perform any other term or provision of this
Lease, within a reasonable time for performance thereof.

20. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
20.1 REMEDIES. In the event of default, Landlord shall have the
remedies set forth in this Section 20. These remedies are not
exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or
later allowed by law. Landlord may terminate Xxxxxx's right to
possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than
giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of
maintenance, efforts to release the Premises or the appointment of a
receiver on Xxxxxxxx's initiative to protect Xxxxxxxx's interest under
this Lease shall not constitute a termination of this Lease. Upon
termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover
from Tenant: (1) The worth of the unpaid rent that had been earned at
the time of termination of this lease; (2) The worth of the amount of
the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of
termination of this Lease; and (3) Any other amount, including court,
attorney and collection fees and costs, necessary to compensate
Landlord for Tenant's default. "The worth" as used in item 20(1) is to
be computed by allowing interest at the rate per annum set forth in
Section 1.9 above. "The worth" as used for item 20(2) is to be computed
by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank or San Francisco at the time of termination of Tenant's right of
possession.
20.2 PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. All covenants
and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms or this
Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense
and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum
or money owed to any party, other than Landlord, for which it is liable
hereunder, or it Tenant shall fail to perform any other act on its part
to be performed hereunder or otherwise violate any term or provision of
this Lease including, without limitation, its obligations pursuant to
Sections 7, 12 and 13, Landlord may, without waiving any default or
releasing Tenant from any obligation hereunder, but shall not be
obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other act to be
made or performed by Xxxxxx. All sums so paid by Xxxxxxxx and all
necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon from the
date of such payment by Landlord at the rate per annum set forth in
Section 1.9 above, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Tenant
covenants to pay any such sums.
21. ENTRY ON PREMISES. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall
have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the
following purposes: (a) To determine whether the Premises are in good condition
and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) To do
any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to the Premises or the
Project that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (c) To post "for
sale" signs at any time during the Term, to post "for rent" or "for lease" signs
during the last ninety (90) days of the term, or during any period while Tenant
is in default; (d) To show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers,
tenants or persons interested in an exchange, at any time during the Term; or
(e) To repair, maintain or improve the Project and to erect scaffolding and
protective barricades around and about the Premises (but not so as to prevent
entry to the Premises), and (f) To do any other act or thing necessary for the
safety or preservation of the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall not be
liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business,
nuisance or other damage arising out of Landlord's entry onto the Premises as
provided in this Section 21. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or
reduction of rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Section 21.
Landlord shall conduct its activities on the Premises as provided herein in a
manner that will cause the least inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to
Tenant. For each of these purposes, Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a
new or additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises without prior written
consent of Landlord. If Landlord shall give its consent, Tenant shall in each
case furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock.
22. SUBORDINATION; CERTIFICATES. Without the necessity of any additional
document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination,
and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee or any beneficiary of a deed of
trust with a lien on the Project or any ground lessor with respect to the
Project, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (a) all
ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed
affecting the Project, and (b) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which
may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the Project,
ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of
said items is specified as
10
security. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates
for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance
in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding
any subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in
interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest. Tenant
covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, by Xxxxxxxx and in
the form requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the
priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease
or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust.
Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact of Tenant to
execute, deliver and record any such document in the name and on behalf of
Xxxxxx.
Tenant, within ten days from notice from Landlord, shall execute and deliver
to Landlord, in recordable form, certificates stating that Landlord is not in
default hereunder, that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect,
or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modification. Such
certificate shall also state the amount of current monthly rent, the dates to
which rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit
and prepaid rent. Failure to deliver this certificate to Landlord within
ten (10) days shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force
and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by Landlord.
23. NOTICE. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or
communication desired by either party or required to be given, shall be in
writing and served personally and sent by prepaid first class mail, addressed
as set forth in Section 1. Either party may change its address by notification
to the other party. Notice shall be deemed to be communicated forty-eight (48)
hours from the time of mailing, if mailed, or from time of service, if
personally served.
24. WAIVER. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by
Landlord shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act
or conduct of Landlord, including without limitation, acceptance of the keys to
the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by
Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written notice from Landlord to
Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and
accomplish termination of the Lease. Xxxxxxxx's consent for approval shall not
be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of
any subsequent act by Xxxxxx. Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in
writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or
any other provision of the Lease.
25. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER. Upon expiration of the Term,
Xxxxxx shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all tenant improvements and
alterations in the condition described in Section 13 above. Tenant shall remove
all personal property owned by Xxxxxx and shall perform all restoration made
necessary by the removal of any alterations or Xxxxxx's personal property before
the expiration of the Term, including for example, restoring all wall surfaces
to their condition prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord shall have the right
to elect to retain or dispose of in any manner Xxxxxx's personal property not so
removed. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant or
such personal property resulting from Xxxxxxxx's retention or disposal of
Tenant's personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's
costs for storage, removal and disposal of Tenant's personal property.
If Tenant, with Xxxxxxxx's express written consent, remains in possession of the
Premises after expiration or termination of this Lease, or after the date in any
notice given by Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease, such possession by
Tenant shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on thirty (30)
day notice at any time, be either party. All provisions of this Lease, except
those pertaining to Term and rent, shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy.
Tenant shall pay monthly rent in an amount equal to 125% of the Base Monthly
Rent which was due with respect to the last full calendar month during the Term,
plus 100% of said last month's Tenant's Share of Expenses.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination
hereof without the express written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall become a
tenant at sufferance only, at a rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the Base Monthly Rent in effect upon the date of such termination
expiration, prorated on a daily basis, and subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions herein specified, so far as applicable, including Section 4.3.
Acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or earlier termination
shall not result in a renewal or extension of
11
this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section 25 are in addition to
and do not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord
hereunder or as otherwise provided by law. If Xxxxxx fails to surrender the
Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by
Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or
liability, including without limitation, any claim made by any succeeding
tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender and any
attorney's fees and costs.
26. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant
will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of
trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Premises whose address shall have
been furnished to Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a
reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession
of the Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove
necessary to effect a cure.
27. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing
hereunder, Xxxxxx agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure,
breach or default of this Lease by Landlord, if Landlord is a partnership:
(a) The sole and exclusive remedy shall be against the partnership and its
partnership assets and the Project, (b) No partner of Landlord shall be sued or
named as a party in any suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure
jurisdiction of the partnership); (c) No service of process shall be made
against any partner of Landlord (except as may be necessary to secure
jurisdiction of the partnership); (d) No partner of Landlord shall be required
to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process; (e) No judgment may be
taken against any partner of Landlord; Any judgment taken against any partner of
Landlord may be vacated and set aside at any time without hearing; (g) No writ
of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord;
(h) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and also by
any partner of Landlord.
Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing provisions shall be applicable to any
covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by
statute or at common law.
28. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
28.1 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of each provision of
this Lease.

benefit of the parties and their successors, except as provided in

in Section 1.10(6).
28.5 OTHER CHARGES. If Landlord becomes a party to any litigation
concerning this Lease, the Premises or the Project, by reason of any
act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's authorized representatives,
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for reasonable attorney's fees and
court costs incurred by Landlord in the litigation whether or not such
litigation leads to actual court action. 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 recover from the
other party reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit, both at trial
and on appeal, such fees to be set by the court before which the matter
is heard. If Landlord employs a collection agency to recover delinquent
charges, Xxxxxx agrees to pay all collection agency fees charged to
Landlord in addition to rent, late charges, interest and other sums
payable under this Lease. Tenant shall pay a charge of $75 to Landlord
for preparation of a demand for delinquent rent.
28.6 LANDLORD'S SUCCESSORS. In the event of a sale or conveyance
by Landlord of the Project, the same shall operate to release Landlord
from any liability under this Lease, and in such event Landlord's
successor in interest shall be solely responsible for all obligations
of Landlord under this Lease.

in accordance with the laws of the slate in which the Premises are
located. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the

the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and any gender
shall include the other and/or neuter. "Party" shall mean Landlord or

permissible as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction if such
court determines that any such provision is not fully enforceable as
agreed herein.
28.8 EXECUTION AND LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity
constitutes Tenant, the obligations of Tenant herein contained shall be

procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such insurance
or other form of

corridor results from such construction, Tenant shall be responsible for the
cost to create such a corridor and Landlord shall have no liability with regard
to said construction; but if Tenant builds additional offices, and ADA bathroom
upgrades are required in existing bathrooms as a condition of approval for
Tenant's construction, Landlord shall be responsible for such upgrade costs.
32. AUDIT OF OPERATING EXPENSES. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost, shall have
the right to review and audit the Expense records for the Project and Premises

Premises at the then current market rate. The then current market rate
("Market") shall be defined as similar buildings in the area and include all
concessions that would be offered, if any, to a tenant of comparable credit
worthiness. Said Option shall not take into consideration the value of any
improvements installed by Tenant during the term of this Lease. Should Tenant
wish to exercise its option to renew, Tenant must give a six (6) month written
notice to Landlord mailed certified by the United States Postal Service.
34. SUBLEASING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, Tenant shall have the right to sublease or assign any portion of the
Premises to any subtenant with Landlord's written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. All rent received by Tenant from its subtenants in

The Termination Fee shall be retained by Landlord in a separate money market
account selected by Landlord in its sole discretion. All interest earned on said

yearly basis in arrears. In the event Tenant does not exercise its right to
Early Termination on March 31, 2000, the Base Monthly Rent in October 1999 shall
be rent free and the November 1999 Base Monthly rent shall be $9,917.52. At this
time, the Termination Fee money market account will be reduced by $ l2,225 which
shall be retained by Landlord in exchange for the free rent in October 1999 and
the reduced rent in November 1999. In the event Tenant does not exercise its
right to Early Termination on March 31, 2001, the Base Monthly Rent in October
2000, November 2000 and December 2000 shall be rent free and the Base Monthly
Rent in January 2001 shall be $4,954.60. At this time, the Termination Fee money
market account will be reduced by $40,659 to zero and the funds will be retained
by Landlord in exchange for the free rent in October, November and December 2000
and the reduced rent in January 2001. If Tenant exercises its right to Early
Termination on March 31, 2000 Landlord
15
shall close the separate money market account and shall retain the entire
$52,884. If Tenant exercises its right to Early Termination on March 31, 2001,
Landlord shall close the separate money market account and shall retain the
$40,659. In the event this Lease terminates for reasons of Destruction or
Condemnation, the outstanding amount of the Termination Fee shall be refunded to
Tenant. The Termination Fee shall not be considered or recharacterized as a
security deposit.
37. NON-DISTURBANCE. Landlord shall make its best efforts to secure a
commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from any existing or future
mortgage lender or ground lessor for the Project on behalf of Tenant. Tenant
shall provide the form of non-disturbance agreement to Landlord that it wishes
to be signed by Xxxxxxxx's mortgage lender(s) and ground lessor(s).

which may affect the Property and the Premises in accordance with Exhibit "C"
attached hereto.

in this Lease, Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost shall warrant that the roof,
existing equipment and HVAC systems, windows and seals, structural components,
and all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems at the Premises and the
Project are in good working and waterproof condition. Landlord, at Landlord's
sole cost, shall deliver the Premises and Project in a condition that meets with
all current codes and conditions and the American's with Disabilities Act. Any

Xxxxxx's contractor, at Xxxxxxxx's option to use such contractor, and Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for that portion of the work ten (10) working days
following receipt of proof of payment by Xxxxxx.
40. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Lease, Landlord shall provide to Tenant the existing February 1992
Phase I Environmental Report. Xxxxxx's review and approval of said report shall
be a condition to entering into the Lease. Once Xxxxxx has executed this Lease,
said condition shall be deemed waived and satisfied. Landlord shall indemnify
Tenant against any hazardous materials that may have existed prior to
February 1, 1998 in or upon the Project and Premises. Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord against Xxxxxx's use of any hazardous materials and shall use any such
materials in compliance with all governmental codes and regulations. SEE

negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its partners, employees, agents,
contractors or invitees; (iv) reserves for the repair, replace or improvement of
the Building or Project; (v) all rental and other costs due under any ground or
underlying lease; (vi) expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with services
or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or items and services for
which Tenant or any other occupant of the Project reimburses Landlord (other
than through its share of Operating Expenses) or which Landlord provides
selectively to one or more tenants, other than Tenant, without reimbursement,
and the cost of which is included as Operating Expenses; (vii) the cost of
repairing any structural defects in the Building or Project and repairing any
material defects in the design, materials or workmanship of the Building or
Project; and (viii) Landlord's general overhead and administrative expenses.
A-2 Real property taxes and assessments shall not include (i) reserves for
future real property taxes and assessments; and (ii) any documentary transfer
taxes arising from a voluntary transfer of the Building or any portion of the
Project by Landlord. If a reduction in real property' taxes is obtained for any
year of the Term during which Tenant paid tenant's percentage of such real
property taxes, then the Expenses for such year shall be retroactively adjusted
and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against Xxxxxx's next due
obligations for rent or, if none, refund such amount to Tenant within thirty
(30) days based on such adjustment. If, by applicable law, any taxes or
assessments may be paid in installments at the option of the taxpayer, then
whether or not Landlord elects to pay taxes and assessments in such
installments, Tenant's liability for such taxes and assessments shall be
computed as if such election had been made, and only the installments thereof
which would have become due during the term of the Lease shall be included in
Tenant's tax obligations.
A-3 Any provision in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord's
consent shall not be required for an assignment or subletting to: (a) any entity
who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant; (b) any
successor corporation resulting from reincorporation in another jurisdiction,
merger, consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization or governmental action
(provided that Tenant's net worth and ability to perform its obligations under
this Lease are not reduced, and the occupancy density of the Premises is not
materially increased, as a result of such merger or consolidation); or (c) to
any person or legal entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant as a going
concern of the business being conducted on the Premises (each of the foregoing
is hereinafter referred to as a "Tenant Affiliate"; provided that before such
assignment shall be effective, (a) said Tenant Affiliate shall assume, in full,
the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (b) Landlord shall be given written
notice of such assignment and assumption and (c) the use of the Premises by the
Tenant Affiliate shall be for the permitted uses set forth in Section 1.4 only.
For purposes of this paragraph, the term "control" means possession directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management,
affairs, and policies of anyone, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise. The sale or transfer of Tenant's capital
stock, including without limitation a transfer in connection with a merger,
consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization of Tenant and any sale through a
public stock exchange, shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting or other
transfer or encumbrance of the Lease or the Premises.
A-4 If the release of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the
Premises or the Project caused by Landlord, its authorized agents or employees,
and not introduced by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or
invitees results in (i) injury to any person or (ii) injury to or any
contamination of the Premises or Project at levels which require clean up or
remediation under applicable laws, Landlord, at its expense (which shall not be
included in Operating Expenses), shall promptly take all actions necessary to
return the Premises and the Project to the condition existing prior to the
introduction of such Hazardous Materials, or to such condition that is
satisfactory to all governmental agencies asserting jurisdiction and to remedy
or repair any such injury or contamination, including without limitation, any
clean up remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of
any such Hazardous Materials. If the
release of Hazardous Materials caused by Landlord, its authorized agents or
employees, renders the Premises untenantable in whole or in part or results
in Tenant being required to vacate the Premises in whole or in part pursuant
to an order or requirement of any governmental agency or authority, then the
Base Monthly Rent and Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Tenant
hereunder for the period during which the Premises (or a portion thereof)
remains so impaired shall be abated in proportion to the agreed of which
Xxxxxx's use of the Premises is impaired and for the period of such
impairment. If the period of such impairment shall exceed three (3) months,
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to
Landlord given within tell (10) days following the passage of such three (3)
month period. Tenant's termination of this Lease pursuant to this paragraph
shall be effective as of the date of such notice.

amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
17.4 AWARD. Any award for the taking of all or any part
