(1) To install, use, maintain, repair and replace pipes, ducts,
conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts
of the Building above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the

5. RENT.
a. Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent in the initial amount set forth
in Section 1 which shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each
and every calendar month ("Base Monthly Rent") provided, however, the first
month's rent shall be due and payable upon execution of this lease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
d. All rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in advance on the first
day of every calendar month, at the address shown in Section 1, or such other
place as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. All rent shall be
paid without prior demand or notice and without any deduction or offset
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 at the rate of
1/30th of the total monthly rent per day. Tenant acknowledges that late payment
by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such
costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs
include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges
that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured
by the Premises. Therefore, if any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not
received when due, Tenant shall pay to landlord an additional sum equal to 10%
of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur
by reason of any such late payment. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or
other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the then maximum
lawful rate permitted to be charged by Landlord. Any payments of any kind
returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge
of $25.00, and thereafter, Landlord may require Tenant to pay all future
payments of rent or other sums due by money order or cashier's check.
e. Upon the execution of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prepaid
rent set forth in Section 1, and if Tenant is not in default of any provisions
of the Lease, such prepaid rent shall be applied toward the rent due for the
first month of the term. Landlord's obligations with respect to the prepaid rent
are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the
prepaid rent with Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to
pay Tenant interest on the prepaid rent. Landlord shall be entitled to
immediately endorse and cash Xxxxxx's prepaid rent; 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 return said prepaid
rent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
g. "For purposes of Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties to
this lease agreement hereby agree to allocate the stated rents, provided herein,
to the periods which correspond to the actual rent payments as provided under
the terms and conditions of this agreement."
6. RENTAL ADJUSTMENT.
a. For the purposes of this Paragraph 6, the following terms are defined as
follows:
(1) Tenant's Percentage shall mean that portion of the total rentable
area of the Project occupied by Tenant as set forth as a percentage in Section
1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Operating Expenses shall consist of all direct costs of operation
and maintenance of the Project and the Common Areas, including any expansions
to the Common Areas by Landlord ("Operating Expenses"), as determined by
standard accounting practices, calculated assuming the Project is fully
occupied, including the following costs by way of illustration, but not
limitation: any and all assessments Landlord must pay for the Project pursuant
to any covenants, conditions or restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements,
tenancy-in-common agreements or similar restrictions and agreements affecting

or assessments hereafter imposed in lieu thereof; rent taxes, gross receipt

imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from statutes or regulations
or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any federal, state, regional,

of the Project or the Premises or the parking facilities serving the
Project or the Premises; the cost (amortized over such reasonable period as
Landlord shall determine together with interest at the maximum rate allowed by
law on the unamortized balance) of any capital improvements made to the Project
or the Common Areas by the Landlord in order to comply with any governmental
requirements not in existence as of the date of this Lease or designed to
reduce Operating Expenses, or replacement of any building equipment needed to
operate the Building or the Common Areas at the same quality levels as prior to
the replacement; costs incurred in the management of the Project, if any
(including supplies, wages and salaries of employees used in the management,
operation and maintenance of the Project, and payroll taxes and similar
governmental charges with respect thereto, Project management office rental, a
management fee and, in the event Landlord is directly participating in the
administration of the Project, an administrative fee in the amount of

items, including appropriate reserves. Operating Expenses shall not include

(4) As used herein, the term "real property taxes" shall include any
form of assessment, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial
rental tax, levy, charge, penalty, tax or similar imposition, imposed by any
authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or
federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other
improvement or special assessment district thereof, as against any legal or
equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, including, but not limited to,
the following:
(a) any tax on Landlord's "right" to other income from the
Premises or as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises;
(b) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution,
partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously
included within the definition of real estate tax, including but not limited to,
any assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges that may be imposed by
governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and
road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly

to the contrary, "real property taxes" shall not include Landlord's federal or
state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. Even though the term has expired and Xxxxxx has vacated the Premises, when
final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses for the
year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase
due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely, any overpayment made in
the event said expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant.
7. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the
amount of the security deposit set forth in Section 1 in part as security for
the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease.-----If tenant is in
default, Landlord can 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 expended or applied by Landlord
to maintain the security deposit in the amount initially deposited with
Landlord. In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the
security deposit to any rent or other sums due under this Lease. 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 deposit are those of a debtor and not of a
trustee, and Landlord can commingle the security deposit with Landlord's general
funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the deposit.
Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Xxxxxx's prepaid
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 return said prepaid deposit. Should Landlord sell its interest in
the Premises during the term hereof and if Landlord deposits with the purchaser
thereof the then unappropriated funds deposited by Tenant as aforesaid,
thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect
to the Security Deposit.
8. USE.
Tenant shall use the Premises for the uses set forth in Section 1
above, and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose
without the prior written consent of Landlord. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give Tenant any exclusive right to such use in the Building. Tenant
shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of law or of the Certificate
of Occupancy issued for the Building, and shall, upon written notice from
Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any
governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or of said
Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall comply with any direction of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature
of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or
Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation
thereof. Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and
requirements of the Insurance Service Office or any other organization
performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse
Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of
Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph. Tenant shall
not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any
way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the
Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for
any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant
cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about
4
6
the Premises. Tenant shall comply with all restrictive covenants and obligations
created by private contracts which affect the use and operation of the Premises,
the Building, the Common Area or the Project. Subject to Paragraph 23 hereof,
tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the
Premises and shall keep the Premises in first class repair and appearance normal
wear and tear excepted. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and
position of all files, safes and heavy equipment which Tenant desires to place
in the Premises so as to properly distribute the weight thereof. Further,
Tenant's business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or
noise that may be transmitted to the building structure or to any other space in
the building shall be so installed, maintained and used by Tenant as to
eliminate such vibration or noise. Tenant shall be responsible for all
engineering required to determine structural load.
9. NOTICES.
Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by mail, and if given by mail
shall be deemed sufficiently given if sent by registered or certified mail
addressed to Tenant at the address(es) designated in Section 1 or to Landlord at
both of the addresses designated in Section 1. Either party may specify a
different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other.
10. BROKERS.
Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker
or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, except for those
certain brokers whose names are set forth in Section 1 and that it knows of no
other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission in
connection with this Lease. If Tenant has dealt with any other person or real
estate broker with respect to leasing or renting space in the Project, Tenant
shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said person or firm
and Tenant shall hold Landlord free and harmless against any liability in
respect thereto, including attorneys' fees and costs.
11. HOLDING OVER.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the
term hereof without the express written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall become
a Tenant at sufferance only, at a rental rate equal to the greater of Landlord's
scheduled rent for the space or one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the
rent in effect upon the date of such expiration (subject to adjustment as
provided in Paragraph 6 hereof and prorated on a daily basis), and otherwise
subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as
applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or earlier
termination shall not result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 11 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 attorneys fees and costs.
12. TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY.
a. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay at least ten (10) days before
delinquency all taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures
placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's
personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's
property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion
therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of
Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based
upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do
regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested
by Tenant, Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied
against Landlord, or the portion of such taxes resulting from such increase in
the assessment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. CONDITION OF PREMISES.
Tenant acknowledges that neither Xxxxxxxx nor any agent of Landlord has
made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the building
or the Project or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of
Xxxxxx's business. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall
conclusively establish that the Premises and the building were in satisfactory
condition at such time. Without limiting the foregoing, Xxxxxx's execution of
the Notice attached hereto as EXHIBIT "C" shall constitute a specific
acknowledgement and acceptance of the various start-up inconveniences that may
be associated with the use of the Common Areas such as certain construction
obstacles including scaffolding, delays in use of freight elevator service,
certain elevators not being available to Tenant, the passage of work crews using
elevators, uneven air conditioning services and other typical conditions
incident to recently constructed office buildings.
14. ALTERATIONS
a. Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements in or to the
Premises without Landlord's prior written consent,* and then only by contractors
or mechanics approved by Landlord; such consents and approvals by Landlord shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans
and specifications for any proposed alterations, additions or improvements to
the Premises, and may not make such alterations, additions or improvements until
Landlord has approved of such plans and specifications. Tenant shall construct
such alterations, additions or improvements in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by Landlord, and shall not amend or modify such plans
and specifications without Landlord's prior written consent. If the proposed
change requires the consent or approval of any lessor of a superior lease, or
the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Premises, such consent or approval must
be secured prior to the construction of such alteration, addition or improvement
and Landlord agrees to cooperate in obtaining any such consent or approval.
Tenant agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other
obstructions which might interfere with Landlord's free access to mechanical
installations or service facilities of the building or interfere with the moving
of Landlord's equipment to or from the enclosures containing said installations
or facilities. All such work shall be done at such times and in such manner as
Landlord may from time to time designate. Tenant covenants and agrees that all
work done by Tenant shall be performed in full compliance with all laws, rules,
orders, ordinances, regulations and requirements of all governmental agencies,
offices and boards having jurisdiction, and in full compliance with the rules,
regulations and requirements of the Insurance Service Office, and of any similar
body. Before commencing any work, Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10)
days written notice of the proposed commencement of such work and shall, if
required by Landlord, ** secure at Tenant's own
*unless such alterations, additions, or improvements are less than a cost of
Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00),
**and other than for the work described in the Work Letter Agreement of even
date herewith
5
7
cost and expense, a completion and lien indemnity bond satisfactory to Landlord
for said work if said work costs more than $100,000. Tenant further covenants
and agrees that any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises or against the
Building for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have
been furnished to Tenant, will be discharged by Xxxxxx, by bond or otherwise,
within (10) ten days after the filing thereof, at the cost and expense of
Xxxxxx. All alterations, additions or improvements upon the Premises made by
either party, including (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) all
wall covering, built-in cabinet work, paneling and the like, shall, become the
property of Landlord, and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with the
Premises, as a part thereof, at the end of the term hereof.)
b. All articles of personal property and all business and trade fixtures,
machinery and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Tenant or
installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises shall be and remain the
property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the lease
term. If Tenant shall fail to remove all of its effects from the Premises upon
termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, Landlord may, at its option,
remove the same in any manner that Landlord shall choose, and store said effects
without liability to Tenant for loss thereof. In such event, Xxxxxx agrees to
pay Landlord upon demand any and all expenses incurred in such removal,
including court costs and attorneys' fees and storage charges on such effects,
for any length of time that the same shall be in Landlord's possession. Landlord
may, at its option, without notice, sell said effects, or any of the same, at
private sale and without legal process, for such price as Landlord may obtain
and apply the proceeds of such sale upon any amounts due under this Lease from
Tenant to Landlord and upon the expense incident to the removal and sale of said
effects.
15. REPAIRS.
a. By entry hereunder, Xxxxxx accepts the Premises as being in good and sanitary
order, condition and repair. Subject to Paragraph 23 hereof Tenant shall keep,
maintain and preserve the Premises in first class condition and repair, normal
wear and tear excepted and shall, when and if needed, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, make all repairs to the Premises and every part thereof. Tenant shall,
upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof, surrender the
Premises to Landlord in the same condition as when received, usual and ordinary
wear and tear excepted. Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel,
improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof. The parties
hereto affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant respecting the
condition of the Premises, the building, the Project or the Common Area except
as specifically herein set forth.
b. Anything contained in Paragraph 15a above to the contrary notwithstanding,
Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the building and
the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, elevator and electrical
systems installed or furnished by Landlord, unless such maintenance and repairs
are caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect or omission of any duty by
Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and
repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs
or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an
unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or
maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Paragraph 23
hereof, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by
reason of any injury to or interference with Xxxxxx's business arising from the
making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the
building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment
therein. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any
law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
16. LIENS.
Tenant shall not permit any mechanics', materialmens' or other liens to
be filed against the building or the Project nor against Xxxxxx's leasehold
interest in the Premises. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times
to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices which it deems necessary for
protection from such liens. If any such liens are filed, Landlord may, without
waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach of Tenant and without
releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such liens to be released by
any means it shall deem proper, including payments in satisfaction of the claim
giving rise to such lien. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at once, upon notice by
Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest
at the maximum rate per annum permitted by law from the date of such payment by
Landlord.
17. ENTRY BY LANDLORD.
Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times (except as provided
below) have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same upon reasonable
prior notice to Tenant, to supply janitor service and any other service to be
provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective
purchasers or tenants upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to post notices of
nonresponsibility, to alter improve or repair the Premises or any other portion
of the Building* all without being deemed guilty of any eviction of Tenant and
without abatement of rent. Landlord may, in order to carry out such purposes,
erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by
the character of the work to be performed, provided that the business of Tenant
shall be interfered with as little as reasonably practicable. Tenant hereby
waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference
with Xxxxxx's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the
Premises, and any other loss in, upon and about the Premises. Landlord shall at
all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all doors in the Premises,
excluding Xxxxxx's vaults and safes. Landlord shall have the right to use any
and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency
in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by
Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not be construed or deemed to
be a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from
the Premises or any portion thereof, and any damages caused on account thereof
shall be paid by Xxxxxx. It is understood and agreed that no provision of this
Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs,
alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed herein by
Landlord.
18. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Xxxxxxxx agrees
to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the utilities and services
described in the Standards for Utilities and Services, attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "D", subject to the conditions and in accordance with the standards set
forth therein. Landlord's failure to furnish any of the foregoing items when
such failure is caused by (i) accident, breakage or repairs; (ii) strikes,
lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; (iii)
governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (iv) inability
despite the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or
fuel; or by (v) any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, shall not
result in any liability to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled
to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of such failure, no eviction of
Tenant shall result from such failure and Tenant shall not be relieved from the
performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of such failure.
In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord shall
diligently attempt to resume service promptly. If Tenant requires or utilizes
more water or electrical power than is considered reasonable or normal by
Landlord, Landlord may at its option require Tenant to pay, as additional rent,
the cost, as fairly determined by Landlord, incurred by such extraordinary
usage. In addition, Landlord may install separate meter(s) for the Premises, at
Landlord's sole expense, and Tenant thereafter shall pay all charges of the
utility providing service and Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to
account for the fact Tenant is directly paying such metered charges.
* (with reasonable prior notice to Tenant for non-routine repairs and
maintenance)

19. BANKRUPTCY.
If Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy under any provision of
the Bankruptcy Code as then in effect, or if Tenant shall be adjudicated a
bankrupt in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings and such adjudication shall not
have been vacated within thirty (30) days from the date thereof, or if a
receiver or trustee shall be appointed of Tenant's property and the order
appointing such receiver of trustee shall not be set aside or vacated within
thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, or if Tenant shall assign Tenant's
estate or effects for the benefit of creditors, then in any such event Landlord
may terminate this Lease, if Landlord so elects, with or without notice of such
election and with or without entry or action by Landlord. In such case,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Landlord, in addition to any
and all rights and remedies allowed by law or equity, shall, upon such
termination, be entitled to recover damages in the amount provided in Paragraph
25b hereof. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by
virtue of any statute or order of any court shall be entitled to possession of
the Premises but shall surrender the Premises to Landlord. Nothing contained
herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to recover damages by
reason of any such termination equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or
rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which,
such damages are to be proved; whether or not such amount is greater, equal to
or less than the amount of damages recoverable under the provisions of this
Paragraph 19.
20. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION OF LANDLORD.
a. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims
arising from Tenant's use of the Premises or the conduct of its business or from
any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about
the Premises, the Building, the Project or the Common Area.** Tenant shall
further indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed
by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act, neglect, fault
or omission of Tenant or of its agents or employees, and from and against all
costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about such claim
or any action or proceeding brought thereon. In case any action or proceeding
shall be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel
approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration
to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to person
in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is
caused by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of
this Lease where such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time
after written notice of such failures. Tenant hereby waives all its claims in
respect thereof against Landlord.
b. Neither Landlord nor any partner, director, officer, agent or employee of
Landlord shall be liable to Tenant or its partners, directors, officers,
contractors, agents, employees, invitees, sublessees or licensees, for any
loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person, or to its or their
property, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless
solely caused by or solely resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents in the operation or
maintenance of the Premises, the building, or the Project without contributory
negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its sublessees or licensees or its
or their employees, agents or contractors, or any other lessees or occupants of
the building or Project. Further, neither Landlord nor any partner, director,
officer, agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable (i) for any such damage
caused by other lessees or persons in or about the building or Project, or
caused by quasi-public work; or (ii) for consequential damages arising out of
any loss of the use of the Premises of any equipment or facilities therein by
Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.
21. DAMAGE TO TENANT'S PROPERTY.
* Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 20 to the contrary, Landlord or
its agents shall not be liable for (i) any damage to any property entrusted to
employees of the building or Project, (ii) loss or damage to any property by
theft or otherwise, (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting
from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain
which may leak from any part of the building or from the pipes, appliances or
plumbing work therein or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other
place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever. Landlord or its
agents shall not be liable for interference with light or other incorporeal
hereditaments, nor shall Landlord be liable for any latent defect in the
Premises or in the building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case
of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the building or of defects therein or
in the fixtures or equipment.
22. TENANT'S INSURANCE.
a. Tenant shall, during the term hereof and any other period of occupancy, at
its sole cost and expense, keep in full force and effect the following
insurance:
(1) Standard form property insurance insuring against the perils of
fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended
coverage ("All-Risk") and sprinkler leakage. This insurance policy shall be upon
all property owned by Tenant, for which Tenant is legally liable or that was
installed at Tenant's expense, and which is located in the Project including,
without limitation, furniture, fittings, installations, fixtures (other than
Tenant improvements installed by Landlord), and any other personal property, in
an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement cost
thereof. In the event that there shall be a dispute as to the amount which
comprises full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or any mortgagees of
Landlord shall be conclusive. This insurance policy shall also be upon direct or
indirect loss of Xxxxxx's earnings attributable to Tenant's inability to use
fully or obtain access to the Premises, Building or Project in an amount as will
properly reimburse Tenant. Such policy shall name Xxxxxxxx and any mortgagees of
Landlord as insured parties, as their respective interests may appear.
(2) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance insuring Tenant against
any liability arising out of the lease, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in the
amount of $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit for injury to, or death of one or
more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including
loss of use) in an occurrence, with such liability amount to be adjusted from
year to year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index. The policy shall
insure the hazards of the Premises and Xxxxxx's Operations thereon, independent
contractors, contractual liability (covering the indemnity contained in
Paragraph 20 hereof) and shall (a) name Landlord as an additional insured, (b)
contain a cross liability provision and (c) contain a provision that the
insurance provided the Landlord hereunder shall be primary and non-contributing
with any other insurance available to the Landlord.
(3) Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance (as
required by state law).
(4) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any
mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in
amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect
itself.
b. All policies shall be written in a form satisfactory to Landlord and
shall be taken out with insurance companies holding a General Policyholders
Rating of "A" and a Financial Rating of "X" or better, as set forth in the most
current issue of Best's Insurance Reports. Within ten (10) days after the
execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of policies or
certificates evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage
satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancellable or reducible in
coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant
shall, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish
Landlord with renewals or "binders" thereof, or Landlord may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord
obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this Paragraph,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the cost of
any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has
been computed.
* Except to the extent of Landlord's or its employees' or agents' gross
negligence or willful misconduct,
7
** Except to the extent of Landlord's or its employees' or agents'
negligence or willful misconduct,
9
c. During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall insure the Building (excluding
any property which Tenant is obligated to insure under Subparagraphs 22a and b
hereof) against damage with All-Risk insurance and public liability insurance,
all in such amounts and with such deductions as Landlord considers appropriate.
Upon written request of Tenant with reference to this Subparagraph 22c,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of a certificate of Landlord's
insurance. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry any
other form or forms of insurance as it or Landlord's mortgagees may determine
advisable. Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance
premiums, as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to
receive any proceeds from any insurance policies carried by Landlord.
d. Tenant will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any
article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy periodically in force
covering the Building. If Xxxxxx's occupancy or business in, or on, the
Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any
increase in premiums for the insurance periodically carried by Landlord with
respect to the Building, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as
additional rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefore by Landlord.
In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant's use of the
Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on
the Building or the Tenant Improvements showing the various components of such
rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make
up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of
the insurance authority or any present or future insurer relating to the
Premises.
e. If any of Landlord's insurance policies shall be cancelled or cancellation
shall be threatened or the coverage thereunder reduced or threatened to be
reduced in any way because of the use of the Premises or any part thereof by
Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the
Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to such
cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction of coverage, threatened
reduction of coverage, increase in premiums, or threatened increase in premiums,
within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Landlord may, at its option,
either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy
such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay the cost thereof to Landlord as
additional rent. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to
any property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises resulting from such
entry. If Landlord is unable, or elects not to remedy such condition, then
Landlord shall have all of the remedies provided for in this Lease in the event
of a default by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Subparagraph 22e, if Tenant fails to remedy as aforesaid, Tenant shall be in
default of its obligation hereunder and Landlord shall have no obligation to
remedy such default.
f. All policies of insurance required hereunder shall include a clause or
endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other
party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured before the
occurrence of injury or loss. Landlord and Tenant waive any rights of recovery
against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by policies of
insurance containing such a waiver of subrogation of clause or endorsement to
the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby.
See Addendum "1" Item 8.

24. EMINENT DOMAIN.
a. In case all of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially
interfere with Xxxxxx's use and occupancy thereof, shall be taken for any public
or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the
right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such
taking, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as
of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. Tenant
shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any
compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive
the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of
Tenant. In the event the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall
not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business, Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any
estate or interest of Tenant, Landlord shall restore the Premises to
substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking, and a
proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to
the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant shall be
so deprived on account of such taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this
paragraph shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award made to
Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or
for moving expenses or for the unamortized portion of tenant improvements paid
for by Xxxxxx.
b. In the event of taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use,
(1) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not xxxxx,
and (2) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions
of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is
within the term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall then pay to
Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing Tenant's obligations
under Paragraph 15 with respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such
payment shall be excused from such obligations. For purpose of this Subparagraph
24b, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of 270 days or
less.
25. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
a. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a
default hereunder by Xxxxxx:
(1) The ------------------------ abandonment of the Premises by Xxxxxx.
Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by
Tenant from the Premises for ten (10) business days or longer while in default
of any provision of this Lease.
(2) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent
or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, ----------------
within five days after notice to Tenant that such payment is due.
(3) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or
implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Tenant, other than as specified in Subparagraph 25a.(1) or (2) above, where such
failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant. If the nature of Tenant's default is such that
more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said
ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion.
(4) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged
a bankrupt or 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 thirty (30) days); the appointment of a trustee or
receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at
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.
*
b. In the event of any such default by Xxxxxx, in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate
option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event
that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover
from Tenant:
(1) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been
earned at the time of such termination; plus
(2) 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 Tenant proves could have been
reasonable avoided, plus
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
detriment proximately caused by Xxxxxx's failure to perform Tenant's obligations
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom.
As used in Subparagraphs 25b (1) and (2) above, the "worth at the time of
award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. As
used in Subparagraph 25b (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
c. In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the
right, with or without terminating this Lease to re-enter the Premises and
remove 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 Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant
to this paragraph 25c shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the
termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
d. In the event of the ------------- abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or
in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter as provided above or shall
take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any
notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease
as provided above, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this
Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any
part thereof for the term for this Lease on terms and conditions as Landlord in
its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and
repairs to the Premises.
In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by
Landlord from such relenting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to
the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of
any alterations and repairs to the Premises, fourth, to the payment of rent due
and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and
applied to payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable
hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting
during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less
than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder then Tenant
* (5) A default by Tenant under the lease of even date herewith with
Landlord for Suite 400.

11
shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefore by
Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall
also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred,
including but not limited to brokers' commissions, by Landlord in such reletting
or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received
from such reletting.
e. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be
construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of
the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such
remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law, whether or
not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be
implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due
hereunder or any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such
default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall
affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The consent or approval
of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval
shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or
approval of any subsequent similar acts by Xxxxxx.
26. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
a. Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or
in the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other
person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first
obtaining Landlord's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's
prior written consent shall be voidable at Landlord's election and shall
constitute a default. ----------------- No consent to an assignment, encumbrance
or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this
Paragraph. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Xxxxxx's intent to assign,
encumber or sublease this Lease, the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee,
information concerning the financial responsibility of the proposed assignee or
sublessee and the terms of the proposed assignment or subletting, and Landlord
shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, and additional
information requested by Xxxxxxxx concerning the proposed assignee's or
sublessee's financial responsibility, elect one of the following: (1) consent to
such proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease; or (2) refuse such consent,
which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; ---------------- In addition, a
condition to Landlord's consent to any assignment, transfer or hypothecation of
this Lease shall be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully
executed instrument of assignment, transfer or hypothecation, and the delivery
to Landlord of an agreement executed by the assignee in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord and expressly enforceable by Landlord, whereby the
assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of
this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
b. As a condition to Landlord's consent to any sublease, such sublease shall
provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all mortgages;
that Landlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection
of rent; that in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason,
including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Xxxxxx, or in the event of
any reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its
option, either (1) terminate the sublease or (2) take over all of the right,
title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, in which case
such sublessee shall attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless Landlord shall
not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such
sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of
the sublessee against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of
any sublease made without Xxxxxxxx's written consent, or by any previous
prepayment by sublessee of more than one month's rent.
c. In the event that Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease under
the provisions of this Paragraph 26, Tenant shall pay Landlord's processing
costs and attorneys' fees incurred in giving such consent. If Landlord shall
consent to any assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
additional rent, * ------------- of all sums and other considerations payable to
and for the benefit of Tenant by the assignee on account of the assignment, as
and when such sums and other consideration ** are due and payable by the
assignee to or for the benefit of Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and
without any release of Tenant's liability for the same, Tenant shall instruct
the assignee to pay such sums and other consideration directly to Landlord). If
for any proposed sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either
initially or over the term of the sublease, in excess of the rent called for
hereunder or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of
such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to
assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken into account.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent hereunder * -------------- of
the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by
Tenant** promptly after its receipt, Xxxxxxxx's waiver or consent to any
assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee or sublessee
from any obligation under this Lease whether or not accrued. Occupancy of all or
part of the Premises by parent or subsidiary companies of Tenant not be deemed
an assignment or subletting.

27. SUBORDINATION.
***
a. 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 with a lien on the building or any ground lessor with respect to the
building, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to:
(1) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter
be executed affecting the building or the land upon which the building is
situated or both; and
(2) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or
hereafter be executed in any amount for which the building, land, ground leases
or underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items is
specified as security.
***
b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate
or cause to be subordinated any such ground leases or underlying leases or any
such liens to this Lease. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease
terminates
** after Xxxxxx's recovery of reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with such assignment or sublease (including, without limitation, a
subtenant improvement allowance) and other monetary concessions
*** Subject to Addendum 1, Item 2,
10
12
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
Xxxxxxxx, 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 of subordination
of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the
lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust. Should Tenant fail to sign and
return any such documents within ten (10) business days of request Tenant shall
be in default, and Landlord may, at Landlord's option, terminate the Lease
provided written notice of such termination is received by Tenant prior to
Landlord's receipt of such documents. 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.
28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
a. Within ten (10) days following any written request which Landlord may make
from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a statement, in
a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit "E", certifying: (1) the
date of commencement of this Lease; (2) the fact that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications hereto, that
this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such
modifications); (3) the date to which the rental and other sums payable under
this Lease have been paid; (4) that there are no current defaults under this
Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in Tenant's statement;
and (5) such other matters requested by Landlord. Landlord and Xxxxxx intend
that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 28 may be relied upon by
any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building
or any interest therein.
b. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant (1) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (2) that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (3) that not more than one (1)
month's rental has been paid in advance. Xxxxxx's failure to deliver said
statement to Landlord within ten (10) working days of receipt shall constitute a
default under this Lease and Landlord may, at Landlord's option, terminate the
Lease, provided written notice of such termination is received by Tenant prior
to Xxxxxxxx's receipt of said statement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30. RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the "Rules and
Regulations", a copy of which is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "F", and all
reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto
from time to time put into effect by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible
to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by any other tenant or occupant
of the building or Project of any of said Rules and Regulations.
31. CONFLICT OF LAWS.
This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the
state in which the premises are located.
32. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants,
conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns.
33. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Xxxxxx, or a mutual
cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of
Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all subleases or
subtenancies. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
peaceably surrender the Premises and all alterations and additions thereto,
broom clean the Premises, leave the Premises in good order, repair and
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and comply with the provisions of
Paragraph 15. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord's
agent or any employee thereof shall not be sufficient to constitute a
termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
34. PROFESSIONAL FEES.
a. If Landlord should bring suit for possession of the Premises, for the
recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any
provisions of this Lease, or for any other relief against Tenant hereunder, or
in the event of any other litigation or appeal between the parties with respect
to this lease, then all costs and expenses, including without limitation, its
actual professional fees such as appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees,
incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which
obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the
date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not
the action is prosecuted to judgment. 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.
b. If Landlord is named as a defendant in any suit or appeal brought against
Tenant in connection with or arising out of Xxxxxx's occupancy hereunder, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including
without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers',
accountants' and attorneys' fees.
35. PERFORMANCE BY TENANT.
All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the
terms of 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
of money owed to any party other than Landlord, for which it is liable
hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be
performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after
notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant
from obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, making any such
payment or perform any such other act to be made or performed by Tenant. All
sums so paid by Xxxxxxxx and all necessary incidental costs together with
interest thereon at the maximum rate permissible by law, from the date of such
payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Tenant covenants to
pay any such sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord) all rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment
thereof by Xxxxxx as are set forth in Paragraph 25.
11
13
36. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give
notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or
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.
37. DEFINITION OF LANDLORD.
The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and
include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of
the Premises or the lessees under any ground lease, if any. In the event of any
transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfers of any such title,
Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances,
the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the
date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability as respects the
performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in
this Lease thereafter to be performed. Without further agreement, the transferee
of such title shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform
any and all obligations of Landlord hereunder, during its ownership of the
Premises. Landlord may transfer its interest in the Premises without the consent
of Tenant and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a
violation on Landlord's part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
38. WAIVER.
The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition
herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained, nor shall
any custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in the
administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of or in any way affect
the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict
accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant
to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No acceptance by
Landlord of a lesser sum than the basic rental and additional rent or other sum
then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment
of such rent or other amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or any letter accompanying any check be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's
right to recover the balance of such installment or other amount or pursue any
other remedy in this Lease provided.
39. IDENTIFICATION OF TENANT.
If more than one person executes this lease as Tenant, (1) each of them is
jointly and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing of all of
the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be
kept, observed and performed by Xxxxxx, and (2) the term "Tenant" as used in
this Lease shall mean and include each of them jointly and severally. The act of
or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of any one or more of
them, with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to,
any renewal, extension, expiration, termination or modification of this Lease,
shall be binding upon each and all of the persons executing this Lease as Tenant
with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or so
given or received such notice or refund or so signed.
40. PARKING.
a. Tenant shall have the right to use the type and number of spaces indicated
in Section 1. All such spaces shall be provided to the tenant at no cost.
b. The use by Tenant, its employees and invitees, of the parking facilities of
the Project shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit G attached
hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, and shall be subject to such
other agreement between Landlord and Tenant as may hereinafter be established.
Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled
by Tenant or Tenant's employees suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be
loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for
such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities
described in Exhibit G, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in
addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow
away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be
immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.
41. FORCE MAJEURE.
Except as applied to Paragraph 23, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever
to Tenant on account of (1) the inability of Landlord to fulfill, or delay in
fulfilling, any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease by reason of strike,
other labor trouble, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in
connection with a national or other public emergency, or shortages of fuel,
supplies or labor resulting therefrom or any other cause, whether similar or
dissimilar to the above, beyond Landlord's reasonable control; or (2) any
failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of electricity or water
furnished to the Premises, by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the
public utility or others furnishing the Project with electricity or water, or
for any other reason, whether similar or dissimilar to the above, beyond
Landlord's reasonable control. If this Lease specifies a time period for
performance of an obligation of Landlord, that time period shall be extended by
the period of any delay in Landlord's performance caused by any of the events of
force majeure described above.
42. TERMS AND HEADINGS.
The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall include the plural
as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders. The
paragraph headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no
effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
43. EXAMINATION OF LEASE.
Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Xxxxxx does
not constitute a reservation of or option for lease, and it is not effective as
a lease or otherwise until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and
Tenant.
44. TIME.
Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision
of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.
12

45. PRIOR AGREEMENT OR AMENDMENTS.

respect to any matter covered or mentioned in the Lease, and no prior agreement
or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any
purpose. No provisions of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an
agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective
successors-in-interest.
46. SEPARABILITY.
Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void or
illegal in no way affects, impairs or invalidates any other provision hereof,
and such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease nor a short form
memorandum thereof without the consent of the other.
48. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.
In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Xxxxxx and all
successors and assigns covenant and agree that, in the event of any actual or
alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Xxxxxxxx:

in the Project;
(2) 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);

(6) Any judgment taken against any partner of Landlord may be vacated and
set aside at any time nunc pro tunc;
(7) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any
partner of Landlord;
(8) The obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal
obligations of the individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders of
Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual partners,
directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or any of their personal assets
for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease;
(9) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and
also by any partner of Landlord.

If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or permanent
financing for the Project the lender shall request reasonable modifications in
this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably
withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications
do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely
affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Xxxxxx's rights hereunder.

prior written notice from Landlord, provide Landlord with a current financial
statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT
This Work Letter Agreement, is entered into as of the 28th day of January,

Electronics, a California corporation ("Tenant").
* a California corporation, and Fort Xxxxx, Inc., a Michigan corporation,
tenants in common
RECITALS:
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Work Letter Agreement, Landlord
and Tenant have entered into a lease (the "Lease") covering certain premises
(the "Premises") more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached to the
Lease.
B. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease (which is hereby
incorporated by reference to the extent that the provisions of this Work Letter
Agreement may apply thereto) and in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
Reference herein to "Tenant Improvements" shall include all work to be done
in the Premises pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Plans described in Paragraph
3 below, including, but not limited to, partitioning, doors, ceilings, floor
coverings, wall finishes (including paint and wallcovering), electrical
(including lighting, switching, telephones, outlets, etc.), plumbing, heating,
ventilating and air conditioning, fire protection, cabinets and other millwork.
Whenever Landlord's consent is required in this Work Letter Agreement it shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
3. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS.
Immediately after the execution of the Lease, Xxxxxx agrees to meet with
its architect and/or space planner for the purpose of preparing a space plan for
the layout of the Premises. Based upon such space plan, Xxxxxx's architect shall
prepare final working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements.
Such final working drawings and specifications may be referred to herein as the
"Tenant Improvement Plans." The Tenant Improvement Plans must be consistent with
Landlord's standard specifications (the "Standards") for tenant improvements for
the Building, as the same may be changed from time to time by Landlord.
4. NON-STANDARD TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
Landlord shall permit Tenant to deviate from the Standards for the Tenant
Improvements; provided that (a) the deviations shall not be of a lesser quality
than the Standards; (b) the total lighting for the Premises shall not exceed
1.65 xxxxx per rentable square foot; (c) the deviations conform to applicable
governmental regulations and necessary governmental permits and approvals have
been secured; (d) the deviations do not require building service beyond the
level normally provided to other tenants in the Building and do not overload the
floors; and (e) Landlord has determined in its sole discretion that the
deviations are of a nature and quality that are consistent with the overall
objectives of the Landlord for the Building.
5. FINAL PRICING AND DRAWING SCHEDULE.
After the preparation of the space plan and after Xxxxxxxx's written
approval thereof, Tenant shall cause its architect to prepare and submit to
Landlord the final working drawings and specifications referred to in Paragraph
3 hereof. Such working drawings shall be approved by Xxxxxxxx and Tenant and
------------- shall thereafter be submitted to the appropriate governmental body
by Xxxxxx's architect for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit.
Tenant ------------ shall cause to be made any changes in the plans and
specifications necessary to obtain the building permit. Concurrent with the plan
checking, Tenant shall have prepared a final pricing for Tenant's approval,
----------- taking into account any modifications which may be required to
reflect changes in the plans and specifications required by the City or County
in which the Premises are located. After final approval of the working drawings,
no further changes to the Tenant Improvement Plans may be made without the prior
written approval from both Landlord and Tenant, such approval by Landlord not to
be unreasonably withheld, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any
excess costs resulting from the design and/or construction of such changes.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that any such changes shall be subject to the terms
of Paragraph 8 hereof.
6. CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
After the Tenant Improvement Plans have been prepared and approved, the
final pricing has been approved and a building permit for the Tenant
Improvements has been issued, Tenant shall enter into a construction contract
with its contractor for the installation of the Tenant Improvements in
accordance with the Tenant Improvement Plans. Landlord shall supervise the
completion of such work at no cost to Tenant. The cost of such work shall be
paid as provided in Paragraph 7 hereof. Landlord shall not be liable for any
direct or indirect damages as a result of delays in construction beyond
Landlord's reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God,
inability to secure governmental approvals or permits, governmental
restrictions, strikes, availability of materials or labor or delays by Tenant
(or its architect or anyone performing services on behalf of Tenant).
7. PAYMENT OF COST OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
a. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a "Tenant Allowance" of Zero and
No/100------ Dollars ($-0-) per square foot of Usable Area (as defined below) of
the Premises for a total of Zero and No/100------ Dollars ($-0-). Such Tenant

drawings and specifications, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and
structural drawings and of all other aspects of the Tenant Improvement Plans.
The Tenant Allowance will not be used for the payment of extraordinary design
work not included within the scope of Landlord's building standard improvements
or for payments to any other consultants, designers or architects other than
Xxxxxxxx's architect and/or space planner.
14
16
(2) The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to
construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(3) Construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without
limitation, the following:
(a) Installation within the Premises of all partitioning, doors,
floor coverings, ceilings, wall coverings and painting, millwork and similar
items.
(b) All electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, outlets and
switches, and other electrical work to be installed within the Premises.
(c) The furnishing and installation of all duct work, terminal
boxes, diffusers and accessories required for the completion of the heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems within the Premises, including the cost
of meter and key control for after-hour air conditioning.
(d) Any additional Tenant requirements including, but not limited
to, odor control, special heating, ventilation and air conditioning, noise or
vibration control or other special systems.
(e) All fire and life safety control systems such as fire walls,
sprinklers, halon, fire alarms, including piping, wiring and accessories
installed within the Premises.
(f) All plumbing, fixtures, pipes and accessories to be installed
within the Premises.
(g) Testing and inspection costs.
(h) Contractor's fees, including but not limited to any fees
based on general conditions.
(4) All other costs to be expended by Landlord in the construction of
the Tenant Improvements, including those costs incurred by Landlord for
construction of elements of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, which
construction was performed by Landlord prior to the execution of this Lease by
Landlord and Tenant (i.e., during or after the construction of the base
Building) and which construction is for the benefit of tenants and is
customarily performed by Landlord prior to the execution of leases for such
space in the Building for reasons of economics (examples of such construction
would include the extension of mechanical [including heating, ventilating and
air conditioning systems] and electrical distribution systems outside of the
core of the Building, wall construction, column enclosures and painting outside
of the core of the Building, ceiling hanger wires and window treatment).
b. The cost of each item shall be charged against the Tenant Allowance. In the
event that the cost of installing the Tenant Improvements, as established by
Xxxxxxxx's final pricing schedule, shall exceed the Tenant Allowance, or if any
of the Tenant Improvements are not to be paid out of the Tenant Allowance as
provided in Paragraph 7a above, the excess shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements.
c. In the event that, after the Tenant Improvement Plans have been prepared and
a price therefore established by Landlord, Tenant shall require any changes or
substitutions to the Tenant Improvement Plans, any additional costs thereof
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to the commencement of such work.
Landlord shall have the right to decline Xxxxxx's request for a change to the
Tenant Improvement Plans if such changes are inconsistent with Paragraphs 3 and
4 above, or if the change would, in Landlord's opinion, unreasonably delay
construction of the Tenant Improvements.
d. In the event that the cost of the Tenant Improvements increases as set forth
in Landlord's final pricing due to the requirements of any governmental agency,
Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such increase within five (5) days of
Landlord's written notice; provided, however, that Landlord shall first apply
toward such increase any remaining balance in the Tenant Allowance.
e. Any unused portion of the Tenant Allowance upon completion of the Tenant
Improvements shall not be refunded to Tenant or available to Tenant as a credit
against any obligations of Tenant under the Lease.
f. As used in this Work Letter Agreement, the term "Usable Area" means the area
of the Premises, as determined by measuring the area within the bounds of the
inside surface of the glass in the outer wall of the Building and the surface
facing the Premises of all partitions separating the Premises from the Building
core, adjoining tenant space and public corridors or other common areas. No
deductions shall be made for space occupied by structural or functional
columns or other projections. The Usable Area of the Premises is 11,911 usable
square feet.
8. COMPLETION AND RENTAL COMMENCEMENT DATE.
The commencement of the term of the Lease and Xxxxxx's obligation for the
payment of rental under the Lease shall commence at the time provided in

18
6. Building Codes: ADA. Any work that is required by applicable law now or
hereafter in effect to be done within the Premises (excluding structural

applicable building codes relating to access to or within the Building (except
for the Premises) by disabled persons, Landlord will be solely responsible for
any such improvements or alterations.

8. Damage or Destruction. The following is inserted into the Lease as
Paragraph 23:
23. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
If the Premises or any Common Areas providing access thereto shall be
damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall restore the same subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 23 . Such restoration shall
be to substantially the condition prior to the casualty, except for
modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by any
mortgagee, any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by
Landlord (provided access to the Premises is not materially impaired), and
except that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant's
furniture, furnishings, fixtures or equipment, or any alterations or
improvements in excess of Tenant's improvements installed at a cost of up to $30
per usable square foot. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or
annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in
any way from such damage or the repair thereof. However, as Xxxxxx's sole
compensation for such damage or destruction Landlord shall allow Tenant a
proportionate abatement of rent, during the time and to the extent the Premises
are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease and not
occupied by Tenant as a result thereof (unless Tenant or its employees or agents
caused the damage). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord may
elect to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination
within
19
sixty (60) days after the date of damage (such termination notice to include a
termination date providing at least ninety (90) days for Tenant to vacate the
Premises) , if the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause
such that: (a) repairs to the Premises and Building and access thereto cannot
reasonably be substantially completed within three hundred (300) days after the
date of casualty without the payment of overtime or other premiums; (b) more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is substantially destroyed by the
damage and fewer than twenty-four (24) months remain in the Term, subject to
Tenant's right to avoid or limit such termination as set forth below; (c) the
cost of the repairs, alterations, restoration or improvement work would exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement value of the Building and Landlord
determines in good faith not to repair or rebuild the Building in substantially
the same configuration as before the casualty; (d) the aggregate proceeds
available from insurance fall short of the reasonable cost of the restoration
required under this Paragraph 23 by an amount greater than $100,000 and Landlord
determines in good faith not to repair or rebuild the Building in substantially
the same configuration as before the casualty; or (e) as a result of the lawful
application of insurance proceeds by any mortgagee to retire the mortgage debt,
the insurance proceeds available for restoration fall short of the reasonable
cost of the restoration required under this Paragraph 23 by an amount greater
than $100,000 and Landlord determines in good faith not to repair or rebuild the
Building in substantially the same configuration as before the casualty. If
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under the circumstances described in
Clause (b) of the preceding sentence, provided that the damage to the Property
was not caused by the willful misconduct or reckless disregard for life or
property of Xxxxxx, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, given within
thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's termination notice, avoid such
termination by exercising a then available option to extend the term of this
Lease upon the terms and conditions set forth in Addendum "3".
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may terminate this Lease if
Tenant is unable to use all or any portion of the Premises as a result of fire
or other casualty not caused by the willful misconduct or reckless disregard for
life or property of Tenant, and: (a) Landlord fails to commence restoration work
to the Building and access thereto within sixty (60) days after the damage
occurs (Landlord's negotiation with insurance companies and consultation with
architects, engineers and contractors shall be deemed to be restoration work);
or (b) Landlord fails to substantially complete such work within three hundred
sixty five (365) days after the date of the casualty, or such additional time as
may be necessary due to strikes, lockouts or other labor troubles, shortages of
equipment or materials, governmental requirements, power shortages or outages or
other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control; or (c) such work is
reasonably estimated (which estimate Landlord shall provide within sixty (60)
20
days following the casualty), to take more than three hundred sixty five (365)
days to substantially complete after the date of the casualty. In addition,
Tenant may terminate this Lease if Tenant is unable to use more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Premises as a result of fire or other casualty not caused
by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Tenant or its employees or
agents, and fewer than twenty-four (24) months remain in the Term. In order to
exercise any of the foregoing termination rights, Tenant must send Landlord at
least sixty (60) but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days advance notice
specifying the basis for termination, and such notice must be given no later
than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the condition serving as the
basis for the termination right invoked by Xxxxxx. Such termination right shall
not be available to Tenant if Landlord substantially completes the repairs to
the Premises and access thereto within sixty (60) days after Xxxxxx's notice.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant, or its
officers, employees, contractors, invitees, partners, or agents delay Landlord
in performing the repairs, Landlord shall have additional time to complete the
work equal to such delay, and Tenant shall pay Landlord all Rent for the period
of such delay. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 23, Tenant
shall have the right, to be exercised within 10 days of such termination, to
terminate any other lease it has for space within the Project.
Tenant agrees that Xxxxxxxx's obligation to restore, and the abatement of
rent and the termination right provided herein, shall be Tenant's sole recourse
in the event of such damage, and waives any other rights Tenant may have under
any applicable Law to terminate the Lease by reason of damage to the Premises,
Project or Building, including all rights under California Civil Code, Sections
1932 (2) , 1933 (4) , and 1942, as the same may be modified or replaced
hereafter. Tenant acknowledges that this Paragraph 23 represents the entire
agreement between the parties respecting damage to the Premises, Project or
Building.

ADDENDUM "2"
OPERATING EXPENSES. For the purposes of this Section, the following
terms are defined as follows:
Base Year-The calendar year in which this Lease Term commences. For the
purposes of this Lease, the Base Year is defined as 1994.
Comparison Year-Each calendar year of the term after the Base Year.
Tenant's *------ Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by Tenant to
Landlord as follows:
(a) Beginning with the calendar year following the Base Year and for
each calendar year thereafter ("Comparison Year"), Tenant shall pay Landlord an
amount equal to Tenant's *------ Share of the Operating Expenses incurred by
Landlord in the Comparison Year which exceeds the total amount of Operating
Expenses payable by Landlord for the Base Year. This excess is referred to as
the "Excess Expenses."
(b) To provide for current payments of Excess Expenses, Tenant shall,
at Landlord's, request, pay as additional rent during each Comparison Year, an
amount equal to Tenant's *------ Share of the Excess Expenses payable during
such Comparison Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time. Such payments
shall be made in monthly installments, commencing on the first day of the month
following the month in which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount it is to pay
hereunder and continuing until the first day of the month following the month in
which Landlord gives Tenant a new notice of estimated Excess Expenses. It is the
intention hereunder to estimate from time to time the amount of the Excess
Expenses for each Comparison Year and Xxxxxx's *------ Share thereof, and then
to make an adjustment in the following year based on the actual Excess Expenses
incurred for that Comparison Year.
(c) On or before April 1 of each Comparison Year after the first
Comparison Year (or as soon thereafter as is practical), Landlord shall deliver
to Tenant a statement setting forth Tenant's *------ Share of the Excess
Expenses for the preceding Comparison Year. If Xxxxxx's* Share of the actual
Excess Expenses for the previous Comparison Year exceeds the total of the
estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days of the receipt of
the statement. If such total exceeds Tenant's *------ Share of the actual Excess
Expenses for such Comparison Year, then Landlord shall credit against Xxxxxx's
next ensuing monthly installment(s) of additional rent an amount equal to the
difference until the credit is exhausted. If a credit is due from Landlord on
the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit. The
obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section
shall survive the Expiration Date.
(d) Tenant's *------ Share of Excess Expenses in any Comparison Year
having less than 365 days shall be appropriately prorated.
(e) If any dispute arises as to the amount of any additional rent due
hereunder, Tenant shall have the right after reasonable notice and at reasonable
times to inspect Landlord's accounting records at Landlord's accounting office
and, if after such inspection Tenant still disputes the amount of additional
rent owed, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made by Landlord's
certified public accountant, which certification shall be final and conclusive.
Xxxxxx agrees to pay the cost of such certification unless it is determined that
Xxxxxxxx's original statement overstated Operating Expenses by more than five
percent (5%).
(f) Operating Expenses including any additional real estate taxes
will be based on a ninety-five percent (95%) leased project for the entire base
year and other year regardless of the current occupancy.
(g) In no event shall Tenant be responsible for increases in Operating
Expenses in excess of six percent (6%) per year on a cumulative basis.

Lease for one (1) consecutive five (5) year period (the "Option Term"), on the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Each Option Term shall commence when the prior term expires. Tenant
must give written notice of its exercise of the option, and Landlord must
actually receive such notice, no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later
than six (6) months prior to the time that the Option Term would commence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(g) The options granted to Tenant may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily exercised by or assigned to any person or entity other than
Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(h) The Base Monthly Rent during each option term shall be adjusted as
of the commencement of each option term to ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair
rental value of the Premises on the terms and conditions contained in this Lease
as mutually agreed by Landlord and Tenant or, if they cannot agree on or before
such commencement date, then as determined by an appraiser mutually selected by
Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on a single appraiser
within five (5) days, then each shall select an appraiser. If the two appraisers
cannot agree on said fair rental value within thirty (30) days, then the two
appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser, and said fair rental value of the
Premises shall be deemed to be the average of the two closest appraisals. Each
appraiser shall be a disinterested member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers, or a body of comparable standing, with at least five years'
experience in commercial real estate appraisal. Landlord and Tenant shall each
bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by them, and shall share equally the
cost of the appraiser mutually selected by them or of the third appraiser
appointed, if any.

ADDENDUM "4"
RIGHT OF REFUSALS.
(a) At any time that Landlord determines to lease any space at 00000
Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx or 00000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, subject to any other existing
tenants' rights of refusal or extension options, Landlord shall notify Tenant in
writing. Within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord's notice,
Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised by delivery of written notice to
Landlord, to lease the respective space. In the event Landlord notifies Tenant

such option, the suites shall be added to the Premises, effective as of the date
specified in Landlord's notice. In the event Tenant does not timely exercise
such option, Xxxxxx's rights shall terminate and shall not apply to any
subsequent leasing of the space unless Landlord does not execute a lease for the

(b) In the event Tenant timely exercises such option, such space shall
be tendered to Tenant in "as is" condition.
(c) In the event Tenant timely exercises such option, such space shall

month, plus electricity, and the Tenant's Share shall be proportionately
increased to reflect the inclusion of such space in the Premises, and provided
further that no free rent, abatement, discount, or other concession shall apply

at which time the remaining free rent will apply.
(d) Tenant shall have no right to exercise its right of refusal,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, during the
time commencing from the date of any default*under Section 25 of this Lease and
continuing until the default is cured.

refusal shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to
exercise such right of refusal because of the provisions in Section (d) above.
-------------------------------------------------
(g) The right of refusal granted to Tenant may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily exercised by or assigned to any person or entity other than Tenant
without the prior written consent of Landlord.

ADDENDUM "5"
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS/BASE MONTHLY RENTAL REDUCTION. Tenant, at Xxxxxx's
expense, will pay for all the costs associated with the following:
(a) Space planning.
(b) Construction documents.
(c) Building permits.
(d) Construction of tenant improvements.
(e) Moving expenses.
(f) Tenant signage costs.
(g) All other costs relating to the build-out of the Premises.
As a concession for Tenant paying for these above mentioned costs,
Landlord will reduce Tenant's Base Monthly Rent in Section 1(h) of the Lease in
accordance with an amortization formula as follows:
Present Value: Total costs as outlined above, up to a maximum of Three
Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirty and No/100
Dollars ($357,330.00; $30.00 per usable square foot).
Amortization Term: Sixty (60) months. (Lease term is 66 months - 6 months' rent
abatement = 60 months.)
Interest Rate
of Amortization: Six percent (6%).
As an example, should Tenant expend the maximum amount of $357,330.00,
this amount shall be amortized at six percent (60%), which would reduce Tenant's
Base Monthly Rent by Six Thousand Nine Hundred Eight and 19/100 Dollars
($6,908.19) per month.
BID PROCESS. Tenant will cause at least two and not more than five contractors
to bid for the construction of tenant improvements including the following
contractors:
(a) Xxxx Construction
(b) Consolidated Contracting
(c)
(d)
(e)
The contractor selected shall be one of the two lowest bidders,
provided that all bids are adjusted for inconsistent assumptions to reflect an
"apples-to-apples" comparison. Tenant, at its sole discretion, shall select the
contractor in accordance with these terms.
Landlord will not impose any charge for profit overhead, or supervision
in connection with the construction of tenant improvements. Landlord, at
Xxxxxxxx's expense, shall have the right to supervise the construction of tenant
improvements from a landlord's perspective. In no event shall Xxxxxxxx's
election to supervise the tenant improvements relieve Tenant from its obligation
to perform the tenant improvements in accordance with this Lease.
Reduction in Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit. If the Base Monthly
Rent is reduced pursuant to the above provision entitled Tenant
Improvements/Base Monthly Rental Reduction, the required Prepaid Rent as set
forth in Section 1(k) and the required Total Security Deposit as set forth in
Section 1(1) shall be reduced by the same amount and Landlord shall refund to
Tenant any excess Prepaid Rent and Total Security Deposit paid to Landlord
within 10 days after the reduction is determined.

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES
The following Standards for Utilities and Services are in effect.
Landlord reserves the right to adapt nondiscriminatory modifications and
additions hereto.
As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, conditions,
provisions or agreements of this Lease, Landlord shall:
1. Provide non-attended automatic elevator facilities Monday through
Friday, except holidays from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M., and have one elevator
available at all other times.
2. On Monday through Friday, except holidays from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M., and on
Saturday mornings from 7 A.M. to 4 P.M. (and other times for an agreed
upon rate of $15.00 per hour, ventilate the Premises and furnish air
conditioning or heating on such days and hours, when in the reasonable
judgment of Landlord it may be required for the comfortable occupancy
of the Premises. The air conditioning system achieves maximum cooling
when the window coverings are closed. Landlord shall not be responsible
for room temperatures if Tenant does not keep all window coverings in
the Premises closed whenever the system is in operation. Xxxxxx agrees
to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and to abide by all
reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe
for the proper function and protection of said air conditioning system.
Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus, device, conduit or pipe to
the building chilled and hot water air conditioning supply lines.
Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants, employees,
agents, visitors, licensees or contractors shall at any time enter
mechanical installations or facilities of the building or adjust,
tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations
or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and
regulate the air conditioning system shall be charged to Tenant if the
need for maintenance work results from either Tenant's adjustment of
room thermostats or Tenant's failure to comply with its obligations
under this section, including keeping window coverings closed as
needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to
then-current journeymen's wages for air conditioning mechanics.
3. Landlord shall furnish to the Premises, during the usual business hours
on business days, electric current as required by the building standard
office lighting and fractional horsepower office business machines in
an amount not to exceed .025 KWH per square foot per normal business
day. Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical
consumption be in excess of the aforesaid quantity or extend beyond
normal business hours, to reimburse Landlord monthly for the measured
consumption at the average cost per kilowatt hour charged to the
building during the period. If a separate meter is not installed at
Tenant's cost, such excess cost will be established by an estimate
agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree,
as established by an independent licensed engineer. Tenant agrees not
to use any apparatus or device in, or upon, or about the Premises which
may in any way increase the amount of such services usually furnished
or supplied to said Premises, and Xxxxxx further agrees not to connect
any apparatus or device with wires, conduits or pipes, or other means
by which such services are supplied, for the purpose of using
additional or unusual amounts of such services without written consent
of Landlord. Should Tenant use the same to excess, the refusal on the
part of Tenant to pay upon demand of Landlord the amount established by
Landlord for such excess charge shall constitute a breach of the
obligation to pay rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to
the rights therein granted for such breach. At all times Tenant's use
of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to
the building or the risers or wiring installation and Tenants shall not
install or use or permit the installation or use of any computer or
electronic data processing equipment in the Premises without the prior
written consent of Landlord.
4. Water will be available in public areas for drinking and lavatory
purposes only, but if Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any
purposes in addition to ordinary drinking and lavatory purposes, of
which fact Tenant constitutes Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord
may install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant's water
consumption for all purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of
the meter and the cost of the installation thereof and throughout the
duration of Xxxxxx's occupancy Tenant shall keep said meter and
installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant's own
cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause such meter and
equipment to be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from
Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on said
meter, as and when bills are rendered, and on default in making such
payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from
Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by
Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated shall be
deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant and collectible by
Landlord as such.
5. Provide janitor service to the Premises, provided the same are used
exclusively as offices, and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant, and
if to be kept clean by Tenant, no one other than persons approved by
Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes. If
the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, they shall be kept
clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, and to the
satisfaction of Landlord, and by persons approved by Landlord. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant's refuse and
rubbish to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish
usually attendant upon the use of the Premises as offices.
Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, plumbing,
ventilation, air conditioning and electric systems, when necessary, by reason of
accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations or improvements, in the
judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs,
alterations or improvements, shall have been completed, and shall further have
no responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator facilities,
plumbing, ventilating, air conditioning or electric service, when prevented
from so doing by strike or accident or by any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable
control, or by laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions, regulations or
requirements of any federal, state, county or municipal authority or failure of
gas, oil or other suitable fuel supply or inability by exercise of reasonable
diligence to obtain gas, oil or other suitable fuel. It is expressly understood
and agreed that any convenants on Landlord's part to furnish any service
pursuant to any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of
this Lease, or to perform any act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, shall not
be deemed breached if Xxxxxxxx is unable to furnish or perform the same by
virtue of a strike or labor trouble or any other cause whatsoever beyond
Landlord's control.
6. This Lease is a "plus electricity" lease in which Tenant shall pay for
their use of electricity throughout the term of the Lease. Each floor
of the project is separately metered, and Tenant shall pay directly to
the utility company each month for their electrical consumption.

Laws. Tenant further acknowledges that Xxxxxx does not intend to use the
Premises in the future for the purpose of generating, manufacturing,
refining, producing, storing. handling, transferring, processing, or
transporting of Hazardous Materials.
(2) If at any time during the term of this Lease, Hazardous
Materials are used, or placed by Tenant on the Premises or Hazardous
Materials are discovered by Tenant on the Premises where no prior consent
of Landlord was obtained or otherwise in violation of any Hazardous
Materials Laws, or if any contamination of the Premises shall occur,
Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall immediately remove such
Hazardous Materials from the Premises or from the ground or ground-water
underlying the Premises in accordance with requirements of the appropriate
governmental entity. Furthermore, Tenant shall, at its own expense,
procure, maintain in effect, and comply with all conditions of any and all
permits, licenses, and other governmental and regulatory approvals
required for Tenant's use of the Premises, including, without limitation,
discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or wastes into and through
any sanitary sewer serving the Premises.
(3) Except for discharges into the sanitary sewer in strict
accordance and conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws,
Tenant shall cause any and all permitted Hazardous Materials removed from
the Premises to be removed and transported solely by duly licensed haulers
to duly licensed facilities for final disposal of such materials and
wastes. Tenant shall in all respects handle, treat, deal with, and manage
any and all Hazardous Materials in, on, under, or about the Premises in
total conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and prudent
industry practices regarding management of such Hazardous Materials.
Tenant shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of
any Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises nor enter into any
settlement agreement, consent, decree, or other compromise in respect to
any claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected with
the Premises without first notifying Landlord of Tenants intention to do
so and affording Landlord ample opportunity to appear, intervene, or
otherwise appropriately assert and protect Landlord's interest with
respect thereto. In addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord
hereunder, if such Hazardous Materials are not removed from the Premises
or the ground or groundwater underlying the Premises by Tenant within
fifteen (15) days after Landlord or Tenant discovers such Hazardous
Materials, Landlord, at its sole discretion, may, but shall not be
obligated to, pay to have the same removed, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord within five (5) days of Landlord's demand for payment.

believe, that any release of hazardous substances has come to be located
on or beneath the real property shall, upon discovery by the tenant of
the presence or suspected presence of a hazardous substance release,
give notice of that condition to the owner of the real property. Failure
of the tenant to provide written notice as required to the owner shall
make the lease voidable at the discretion of the owner. The Health and
Safety Code provides that if the tenant has actual knowledge of the
presence of any hazardous substance release and knowingly or willingly
fails to provide written notice as required by the owner, the tenant is
liable for a civil penalty not to exceed $5,000.00 for each violation.

reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord, and each

losses, or expenses (including actual attorneys' fees and costs) or death
of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever, arising
from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (i) the
presence in, on, under, or about the Premises or discharge in or from the
Premises of any Hazardous Materials placed or discharged in, on, or under
the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's use, analysis, storage,
transportation, disposal, release, threatened release, discharge, or

Premises; or (ii) Tenant's failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials
Laws. Tenant's obligation hereunder shall include, without limitation,
and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or,
necessary repair, cleanup, or detoxification or decontamination of the
Premises and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial
action, or other required plans in connection therewith. For purpose of
the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or by
employees, agents, assignees, subtenant, concessionaire, contractors, or
subcontractors of Tenant or others acting for on behalf of Tenant
(whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful, or unlawful)

indemnities with respect to Hazardous Materials shall survive the
termination of this Lease.
