5.2 Tenant's Share. In the event the Building Operating Costs incurred by
Landlord during any calendar year following the Base Year shall exceed Building
Operating Costs incurred by Landlord during the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to

current calendar year multiplied by the number of rent payments (including the
current one) then elapsed in such calendar year. Thereafter the one twelfth

or acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of
Tenant in any action against the Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or
not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule,
regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of the fact as between the
Landlord and Tenant.

14. CONDEMNATION
8
If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated for public or
quasi-public use by right of eminent domain with or without litigation or
transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use,
either party hereto shall have the right at its option exercisable within thirty
(30) days of receipt of notice of such taking to terminate this Lease as of the
date possession is taken by the condemning authority, provided, however, that
before Tenant may terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation as
provided hereinabove, such taking or appropriation shall be of such an extent
and nature as to substantially handicap, impede or repair Tenant's use of the
Premises. If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so taken
or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this
Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or
condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter
arising in or to the same, or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require
Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for the interruption of or
damage to Tenant's business and/or for Tenant's unamortized cost of leasehold
improvements. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a
termination of this Lease, rent shall be abated in the proportion which the part
of the Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises
immediately prior to the taking. No temporary taking of the Premises and/or of
Tenant's rights therein or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease or give
Tenant any right to any abatement of rent thereunder; any award made to Tenant
by reason of any such temporary taking shall belong entirely to Tenant and
Landlord shall not be entitled to share therein.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
15.1 Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein and shall not
sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of
Landlord and any attempt to do so without such consent being first had and
obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.
15.2 Reasonable Consent. If Tenant complies with the following conditions,
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of the
Premises or any portion thereof or the assignment of this Lease. Tenant shall
submit in writing to Landlord; (a) the name and legal composition of the
proposed subtenant or assignee; (b) the nature of the business proposed to be
carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed
sublease; (d) such reasonable financial information as Landlord may request
concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee.
15.3 No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord of any assignment or
subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by
Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent,
assignment or subletting. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or
subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's
express written consent to any other assignment or subletting. The acceptance of
rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment,
subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other
transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting or other transfer.
15.4 Attorneys' Fees. In the event Landlord shall not consent to a sublease or
assignment under this Section 15, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) incurred in
connection with giving such consent.
16. SUBORDINATION
16.1 Subordination. This Lease at Landlord's option shall be subject and
subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter
be executed affecting the Premises or the land upon which the Premises are
situated or both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust in any
amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the land or
improvements either thereof, of which the Premises are a part, or on or against
Landlord's interest or estate therein, or on or against any ground or underlying
lease without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further
instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. If any
mortgages, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this lease prior to the
lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or
9
ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall
be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this
Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust,
or ground lease or the date of the recording thereof.
16.2 Subordination Agreements. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver upon demand without charge therefore, such further instruments
evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases
and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by
Landlord. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact,
irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such agreements, instruments, releases
or other documents.
16.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon
Tenant paying rent and other monetary sums due under the Lease, performing its
covenants and conditions under the Lease Tenant shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term, subject, however, to the
terms of the lease and of any of the aforesaid ground leases, mortgages or deeds
of trust described above.
16.4 Attornment. In the event any proceedings are brought for default under
ground or any underlying lease or if the event of foreclosure or the exercise of
the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by the Landlord
covering the Premises, the Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such
foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this
Lease, provided said purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms of the Lease.
17. DEFAULT REMEDIES
17.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or any other monetary sums
required to be paid hereunder (where such failure continues for five (5) days
after written notice by Landlord to Tenant);
(b) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant;
(c) A failure by tenant to observe and perform any other provision of this
Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continuous for
twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided,
however that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot be
reasonably cured within said twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed
to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and
thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion;
(d) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement
for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to
have Tenant adjudged bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement
under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed
against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment
of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of tenant's
assets located in the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where
possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
17.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by Tenant,
Landlord may, at any time thereafter without limiting Landlord in the exercise
of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have by reason of
such default breach;
(a) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the rent and
other monetary charges as they become due, without terminating Tenant's right to
possession irrespective of whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In
the event Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the
right to attempt to relet the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions
and for such a term, and to do all acts necessary to maintain or preserve the
Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have
elected to terminate the Lease. Including removal of all persons and property
from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse
or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of the Tenant. In the event any
such re-letting occurs, this Lease shall terminate automatically upon the new
tenant taking possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding that Landlord fails to
elect to terminate the Lease initially, landlord at any time during the term of
this Lease may elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of such previous default
of Tenant.
10
(b) Terminate Tenant's right to possession by any lawful means, in which
case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's default, including without limitation thereto, the following: (I) the
worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time
of such termination; plus (II) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the
time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that is proved could have
been reasonably avoided; plus (III) the worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term at the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that is proved could be reasonably
avoided; plus (IV) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord of all the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform his obligations
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to
result therefrom; plus (V) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in
addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by
applicable State law. Upon any such re-entry Landlord shall have the right to
make any reasonable repairs, alterations or modification to the Premises, which
Landlord in its sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary. As used in (I)
above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount
by ten percent (10%). The term "rent", used in this Section 17, shall be deemed
to be, and to mean, the rent to be paid pursuant to Section 3 and all other
monetary sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the term of this Lease.
17.3 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord 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 Landlord by the
terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be receive by
Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be
due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of
such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge by Landlord
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such
overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and
remedies granted hereunder.
17.4 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord
fails to perform obligations required by Landlord within a reasonable time, but
in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to
Landlord 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 Tenant
in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be
in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
For the purpose of maintaining an economical and proper distribution of
Tenants throughout the Building acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall have the
right from time to time during the term of the Lease to relocate the Premises in
the Building on the following terms and conditions;
(a) The rented usable areas of the new location in the Building are of
equal size to the existing location (subject to a variation of up to ten percent
(10%) provided the amount of rent payable under this Lease is not increased;
(b) If the then prevailing rental rate for the new location is less than
the amount being paid for the existing location, the rent shall be reduced to
equal the then prevailing rent for the new location;
(c) Landlord shall pay the cost of providing tenant improvements on the new
location comparable to the tenant improvements in the existing location;
(d) Landlord shall pay the expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in
connection with such substitution of Premises, including but not limited to,
costs of moving, door lettering, telephone relocation and reasonable quantities
of new stationary.
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord's
election to relocate the Premises, specifying the new location and the amount of
rent payable therefore at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the
relocation is to be effective. If the relocation of the Premises is not
acceptable to Tenant, Tenant for a period of ten
11
(10) days after receipt of Landlord's notice to relocate shall have the right
(by delivering written notice to Landlord) to terminate this Lease effective
thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice.
