1.10. Date. This Lease is dated, for reference purposes only, as of
January 19, 1996.
2. Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from
Landlord for the term, at the rental, and on all of the terms and conditions
of this Lease, the Premises.
3. Term.
3.1. Term. The term of this Lease is from the Commencement Date until
the Termination Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision
hereof.
3.2. Delay in Commencement. Despite the stated Commencement Date, the
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and this Lease (including the stated
Termination Date) and the Tenant obligations under this Lease shall be
unaffected if for any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, but in such case Tenant shall have
no obligation to pay rent until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to
Tenant. If Landlord has not delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant by
ten (10) days after the stated Commencement Date and until Landlord does deliver
possession to the Premises to Tenant, Tenant may elect by written notice to
Landlord cancel this Lease. If the Landlord shall not have delivered possession
of the Premises within one (1) year from the Commencement Date, Landlord may by
notice in writing to Tenant cancel this Lease. If either party elects to so
cancel the Lease, Landlord shall return any money previously deposited by Tenant
and the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder. In no event,
however, shall Tenant have the right to cancel this Lease because of any delay
in delivering possession of the Premises because of any act of God or the
elements; shortage or unavailability of necessary materials, supplies, or labor;
shortage of or interruption in transportation of facilities; regulations or
restriction; or any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. In the
event delivery of possession of the Premises is delayed beyond the stated
Commencement Date, the stated Commencement Date and the stated Termination Date
each shall be extended by the number of days of such delay.
3.3. Early Possession. If Tenant occupies the Premises before the
Commencement Date of the term, all of Tenant's Lease obligations (including
payment of Operating Expenses, but not Basic Monthly Rent) shall become
effective immediately although such early possession shall not accelerate the
Termination Date of this Lease.
4. Rent.
4.1. Basic Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rent for the
Premises the Basic Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first day of each month of
the term hereof. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less
than one (1) month shall be a pro-rata portion of the monthly installment. Rent
shall be payable without notice or demand and without deduction, offset, or
abatement, in lawful money of the United States of America to Landlord at such
address and to such other persons or at such other places as Landlord may
designate in writing.
PAGE 2

4.2. Operating Expenses.
4.2.1. In addition to the Basic Monthly Rent and commencing on the
earlier of Tenant's occupancy or the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord monthly and in advance the Operating Expenses of the Premises.
Periodically Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the anticipated
monthly amount of the Operating Expenses, and Tenant shall pay the same and all
subsequent monthly payments concurrently with the payment of Basic Monthly Rent
or if no Basic Monthly Rent is due, payment of the Operating Expenses shall be
due and payable on or before the first day of each month, in advance without
adjustment or offset. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until
notified by Landlord of a change thereof. In the event that a Lender requires
Landlord to make monthly or periodic deposits to an account for the payment of
Insurance Premiums or Taxes, the amount of such required deposits shall be
simultaneously due from Tenant rather than being due on the date when such Taxes
or Insurance Premiums are paid. Each year when available, Landlord shall give
Tenant a statement showing the total Operating Expenses and other charges, if
any, for the Property actually incurred for the prior calendar year. In the
event that the term of this Lease does not begin or end coincident with the
calendar year, the statement for such year shall be prorated appropriately. In
the event the total of the monthly payments which Tenant has made for the prior
calendar year shall be less than the actual Operating Expenses, then Tenant
shall pay the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) days after receipt of
such statement from Landlord when the final determination is made of the
Operating Expenses; even though the Term may have expired or been terminated.
Any overpayment made shall be refunded to Tenant or, at Landlord's option,
credited towards the next Basic Monthly Rent payments coming due. In the case of
the year in which the Lease expires or terminates, any overpayment will be
refunded. In the event of any adjustment by Landlord of the estimated amount of
the Operating Expenses, Tenant shall immediately commence paying the adjusted
estimated amount.
4.2.2. Definition of Operating Expenses. "Operating Expenses" shall
mean the total costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection
with the ownership, operation, maintenance and repair of the Premises which in
accordance with reasonable accounting and management practices consistently
applied, including, without limitation (1) Taxes; (2) Insurance Premiums; (3)
the cost of utilities consumed in the Premises if paid for by Landlord; (4) the
costs incurred by Landlord due to a breach of this Lease by Tenant; (5) the cost
of any governmentally required license, permit, or inspection for or of the
Premises; (6) personal property taxes on any personal property owned by Landlord
and located in the Premises and used for the maintenance or operation of the
Premises; (7) and any other costs and expenses of any other kind whatsoever
reasonably incurred by Landlord in operating or maintaining the Premises; and
(9) any other expense designated by this Lease to be an Operating Expense.
Operating Expenses shall be "net" only and for that purpose shall be deemed
reduced by the amounts of any insurance reimbursement or other reimbursement
received by Landlord in connection with such expenses. The following shall not
be Operating Expenses (1) repairs or other work occasioned by insured casualty
except for the deductible portion of any insured casualty loss; (2) leasing
commissions except in the event of Tenant's default; (3) depreciation and
amortization; (4) costs of a capital improvement nature; (5) interest on debt or
principal payments to a Lender or rental under a ground lease (other than
leasehold excise tax); and (6) costs of Landlord's general overhead.
5. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be security for Tenant's full
performance of Tenant's lease obligations. If Tenant fails to pay rent or any
other charges due from Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may elect to apply the
Security Deposit toward the payment of such default. If Landlord applies any
portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, on ten (10) days written notice,
deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to the full amount stated in Section 1; Tenant's failure to do so shall
be a default. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's
PAGE 3
4
other funds and no interest shall be paid or accrued on the Security Deposit. If
Tenant performs all of Tenant's lease obligations, the Security Deposit (or so
much as has not been applied by Landlord) shall be returned to Tenant (or, at
Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, or Tenant's interest under the
Lease) within a reasonable time. Landlord may transfer the security deposit to
the purchaser of his interest in the event of sale and Tenant shall look solely
to such purchaser for return of the deposit.
6. Use.
6.1. Allowed Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the
Allowed Use and for no other purpose without prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent may be withheld or conditioned as Landlord deem appropriate within
its sole, unrestricted discretion. The designation of Tenant's Allowed Use shall
not be deemed to be an agreement by Landlord to refrain from leasing other
property to others for a similar use.
6.2. Compliance with Law. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply
promptly with all present and future laws and requirements regulating the use of
the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's business together with any laws providing for
accessibility of the Premises, including access by disable persons. Tenant shall
not create or allow waste or a nuisance, or unreasonably disturb any other
person.
6.3. Insurance Cancellation. Despite any other provision of this
Lease, no use of the Premises may be made or permitted nor acts done which
will adversely affect or increase the cost of any insurance policy maintained
by Landlord.
6.4. Landlord's Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with
reasonable regulations made or changed by Landlord shall from time to time which
regulations shall not conflict with any express provision of this Lease.

and its employees or invitees, Landlord shall maintain, at Landlord's expense
and not as an Operating Expense, the structural foundations of the Premises and
the exterior roof(s) of the Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation to make
such repairs until a reasonable time after receipt of written notice of the need
for such repairs. Except as provided in this Section and as provided in this
Lease as to damage by casualty, Landlord shall have no obligation to make any
repair, change or improvement of the Property or the Premises.
7.2. Tenant's Obligations. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall maintain in
good condition and appearance all and every part of the Premises. Without
limiting Tenant's duty, Tenant shall so maintain (including repainting when
reasonably needed) all walls (both the exterior and interior), all plumbing,
heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and
equipment, fixtures, ceilings, doors, glass, and skylights, sidewalks,
landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences and signs on the Premises. Tenant's
agreement to maintain the Premises shall include the duty to replace as well as
repair. If and as directed in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall contract, at
Tenant's expense, for third party periodic preventative maintenance and
servicing of heating, air conditioning and ventilating equipment serving the
Premises.
7.3. Initial Condition of Premises. Tenant accepts the Premises in the
condition existing when this Lease is signed. Tenant acknowledges that neither
Landlord nor the Broker has made any representation or warranty as to (i) the
physical condition of the Premises other than Landlord represents
PAGE 4
5
that Landlord is not presently aware of any existing physical condition of the
Premises which presently is legally required to be rectified or altered, or (ii)
the suitability or zoning of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business.
Unless expressly provided in Schedule 7.3 attached to the Lease and signed or
initialed by the Landlord, Landlord has no obligation to make any improvements
or changes to the Premises.
7.4. Surrender. On the Termination Date of this Lease, or on any sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in
good condition and in accordance with Tenant's maintenance obligations and broom

holes resulting from attachment of any of Tenant's trade fixtures, furnishings
and equipment. Tenant shall remove any alterations or improvements made by
Tenant without the prior written approval of Landlord.
7.5. Landlord's Rights. If Tenant fails to perform Tenant's maintenance
obligations, Landlord may, at its option (but shall not be required to) enter
the Premises, after ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant or with no
prior written notice in an emergency, and perform Tenant's maintenance
obligations and Tenant shall immediately, fully reimburse Landlord for such
expense together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum and pay to Landlord an administrative surcharge equal to fifteen percent
(15%) of the costs so incurred by Landlord.
7.6. Alterations and Additions.
7.6.1. Without Landlord's, or Master Landlord's prior written
consent, Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements or additions to the
Premises, except for non-permanent changes costing less than Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) in the aggregate per year. As a condition of consent, Landlord
may require that Tenant be responsible to remove any such alterations,
improvements or additions at the expiration of the term, and to restore the
Premises to the prior condition; Landlord may impose such other conditions as
are reasonable. Tenant shall secure all governmental permits required in
connection with any such work. Landlord may, at its sole option, require Tenant,
at Tenant's expense, to obtain for Landlord's benefit a surety bond in an amount
equal to the estimated cost of such work, to insure Landlord and the Property
against any liability for liens arising from such work and to insure completion
of the work.
7.6.2. Before commencing any work relating to alterations, additions
and improvements affecting the Premises (none of which are required or requested
by Landlord, nor any obligation of Tenant under this Lease), Tenant shall notify
Landlord in writing of the expected date of commencement thereof. Landlord shall
then have the right at any time to maintain on the Premises such notices as
Landlord reasonably deems necessary to protect the Premises and Landlord from
any lien. In any event, Tenant shall pay, when due, all charges incurred by
Tenant. Tenant shall not permit any lien to be asserted, against the Premises or
Property for any charge incurred or alleged to have been incurred by Tenant, and
Tenant shall indemnify, defend Landlord against, and hold Landlord harmless from
any and all liability, costs, damages therefrom.

surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the term; provided Tenant's
machinery, equipment and trade fixtures, other than that which is affixed to the
Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises,

Premises.

8. Hazardous Substances.
8.1. As used in this Lease, the term "Hazardous Substance" means any
substance or material, the storage, use or disposal of which is or becomes
regulated under any law, now or hereafter in effect.
8.2. Landlord warrants to Tenant that Landlord has not released or
deposited on the Premises any Hazardous Substance, and Landlord has no knowledge
of the presence of any hazardous substance on the Premises.
8.3. Without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant shall not receive,
store or otherwise allow any Hazardous Substance on the Premises. In the event
of any release or presence of any Hazardous Substance on or about the Premises
occurring on or after the Commencement Date of this Lease, Tenant agrees to
immediately, fully and completely remove (and to dispose of such in accordance
with applicable law) all of such Hazardous Substance from the Premises even if
the quantity or concentration of such Hazardous Substance would not require
remediation under the provisions of law. Tenant further agrees to defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors and
Lender from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages,
demands, fine, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of or resulting from any release or presence, during the term of
this Sublease, of any Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises; the
provisions of this sentence shall survive (and be enforceable thereafter) the
termination or expiration of this Lease and the surrender of the Premises by
Tenant. If Tenant becomes aware of the release or presence on the Premises of
any Hazardous Substance, Tenant shall immediately advise Landlord of such
release or presence, and Tenant further shall provide Landlord with copies of
any reports, studies, recommendations or requirements received by Tenant from
any third person including a governmental agency.
9. Insurance; Indemnity.
9.1. Payment of Premium. "Insurance Premiums" are the actual cost of
the insurance applicable to improvements on the Property and required to be
carried by Landlord by this Lease and include, but are not limited to,
requirements of the Lender. The cost of Insurance Premiums shall be included
as a portion of the Operating Expenses which Tenant shall pay.
9.2. Liability Insurance.
9.2.1. Carried by Tenant. Tenant shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a commercial (comprehensive) liability insurance
policy protecting Tenant, Landlord and any Lender(s) whose names have been
provided to Tenant in writing (as additional insureds) against claims for bodily
injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out
of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas
appurtenant thereto. For the purposes of this Lease, a "Lender" is a mortgagee
under a mortgage or a beneficiary under a deed of trust granted by Landlord or
Landlord's predecessor and which is a lien on the Premises. Such insurance shall
be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less
than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an "Additional Insured - Managers or
Landlords of Premises" endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution
Exclusion" endorsement for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile
fire. The policy shall not contain any inter-insured exclusions as between
insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability
assumed under this Lease as an "insured contract" for the performance of
Tenant's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance
required by this Lease or as carried by Tenant shall not, however, limit the
liability of Tenant nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder.
PAGE 6
7
9.2.2. Carried by Landlord. At Landlord's own expense, Landlord may
also maintain liability insurance similar to that described in the preceding
Section, in addition to and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant. Tenant shall not be named as an additional insured
therein.
9.3. Property Insurance - Building, Improvements and Rental Value.
9.3.1. Building and Improvements. Landlord shall obtain and keep in
force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Landlord, with loss payable to Landlord and to any Lender(s), insuring against
loss or damage to the Premises with such deductible amount as is selected by
Landlord. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as the same shall
exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s) but in no event
more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof if,
by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter
amount is less than full replacement cost. If the coverage is available and
commercially reasonable, Landlord's policy or policies may insure against all
risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or
earthquake), including coverage for any additional costs resulting from debris
removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance
or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of
the Premises required to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement
of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered
loss. Such policies may also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of
any co-insurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection
causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor
selected by the insurer.
9.3.2. Rental Value. Landlord shall also obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Landlord, with
loss payable to Landlord and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental
and other charges year (including Operating Expenses) payable by Tenant to
Landlord for one year. Said insurance may provide that in the event the Lease is
terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for such
coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs or
replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss of rental
revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, and the amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected payments payable by
Tenant for the next 12-month period.
9.4. Tenant's Property Insurance. Tenant at its own cost shall maintain
insurance coverage on all of Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures and
Tenant-owned alterations and improvements in the Premises similar in coverage to
that required by this Lease to be carried by Landlord. Such insurance shall be
full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to exceed Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be
used by Tenant for the replacement of personal property, trade fixtures and the
restoration of any Tenant owned improvements. Upon request from Landlord, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
9.5. Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are
located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating"
of at least B+, V or such other rating as may be required by a Lender, as set
forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Tenant shall not do
or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies
maintained by Landlord. Tenant shall cause to be delivered to Landlord, within
seven (7) days after the earlier of the Early Possession Date of the
Commencement Date, certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence
and amounts of, the insurance required of Tenant by this Lease. No such policy
shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to Landlord. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
PAGE 7
8
expiration of such policies, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence of
renewals or "insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Landlord may
obtain such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall
be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
9.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Tenant and Landlord each hereby release and relieve the other, and
waive their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort)
against the other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or
incident to the perils required to be insured against under this Lease to the
actual extent of the insurance actually maintained. Landlord and Tenant agree to
have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance
waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not invalidated thereby.
9.7. Indemnity. Except to the extent of Landlord's comparative negligence
or breach of an express provision of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify,
protect, defend and hold harmless the Landlord and its Lenders from and against
all claims, loss of rents and damages, costs, liens, judgments, penalties, loss
of permits, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and liabilities arising
out of, involving, or in connection with, the occupancy of the Premises by
Tenant, the conduct of Tenant's business, any act, omission or neglect of
Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees, and out of any Default
or Breach by Tenant in the performance in a timely manner of any obligation on
Tenant's part to be performed under this Lease. The foregoing shall include, but
not be limited to, the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or
proceeding involved therein, and whether or not (in the case of claims made
against Landlord) litigated or reduced to judgment. In case any action or
proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any of the foregoing
matters, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's
expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Landlord shall
cooperate with Tenant in such defense. Landlord need not have first paid any
such claim in order to be so indemnified. In the event of concurrent negligence
of Landlord and Tenant resulting in injury or damage to persons or property and
which relates to the construction, alterations, repair, addition to, subtraction
from, improvement to or maintenance of the Premises, the indemnifying party's
obligation to indemnify the other party as set forth in this Section shall be
limited to the extent of the indemnifying party's negligence, and that of its
agents, employees, sublessees, invitees, licensees or contractors.
9.8. Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Landlord shall not be liable
for injury or damage to the person or property of Tenant, Tenant's employees,
contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises,
whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam,
electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or
other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said injury
or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or from other
sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not. Notwithstanding
Landlord's negligence or breach of this Lease, Landlord shall under no
circumstances be liable for any loss of income or profit of Tenant's business or
any other consequential damage.
10. Damage or Destruction.
10.1. Partial Damage - Insured. If the Premises or Property are Partially
Damaged and such damage was caused by a casualty covered under an insurance
policy required to be maintained by Tenant or Landlord pursuant to this Lease,
Landlord shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible, and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, if the insurance proceeds
actually available to Landlord (after deduction of any proceeds required by a
Lender to be applied to reduction of
PAGE 8
9
indebtedness) are not sufficient to effect such repair, Landlord shall not be
obligated to make such repairs unless Tenant elects, without obligation to do
so, to contribute, without right of reimbursement, the required amount. In the
event that Landlord is not obligated and does not voluntarily agree to repair
such damage, either Tenant or Landlord may declare this Lease terminated by
thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
10.2. Damage - Uninsured. In the event the Premises are damaged or
destroyed by a casualty which is not covered under an insurance policy required
to be maintained by Tenant or Landlord, the Landlord may elect to repair such
damage as soon as reasonably possible, and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect. If Landlord does not so elect within sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of the casualty to repair, either Tenant or Landlord may declare this
Lease terminated by ten (10) days written notice to the other party; provided
Tenant may avoid termination of this Lease if Tenant voluntarily agrees to pay,
without right of reimbursement, all of the costs of such repairs by Landlord.
10.3. Total Destruction. If the Premises are Totally Destroyed by a
casualty covered under an insurance policy required to be maintained by Tenant
or Landlord pursuant to this Lease, this Lease shall automatically terminate as
of the date of such total destruction.
10.4. Damage Near End of Term. If the premises are Partially Damaged
during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease, Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence
of such damage by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to do
so within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives notice of occurrence of such
damage; provided Landlord shall continue to have all rights to receive the
proceeds of any insurance policy required by the Lease to be maintained by
Tenant.
10.5. Abatement of Rent. If the Premises are Partially Damaged, the rent
payable while such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Tenant's reasonable use of the Premises is
substantially impaired. Except for abatement of rent, if any, Tenant shall have
no claim against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.
10.6. Definitions. For the purposes of this Lease, the term Partially
Damaged shall be deemed to mean damage to the Premises (excluding any damage to
Tenant owned property or alterations) which is reasonably estimated to cost to
repair less than fifty percent (50%) and Totally Destroyed shall be deemed to
mean damage to the Premises or Property (excluding any damage to Tenant owned
property or alterations) which is reasonably estimated to cost to repair more
than fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable fair market value of the improvements
constituting the Premises (but not the land) calculated immediately prior to the
occurrence of the damage. Cost shall include the cost to rebuild all of the
damaged improvements owned by Landlord including demolition, debris removal,
requirements of applicable building codes and other laws, mitigation
requirements and without regard for depreciation.
10.7. Notwithstanding any provision in this paragraph 10 to the contrary,
if, under paragraph 13 of the Master Lease the Landlord therein has, and elects
to exercise a right to terminate the Master Lease, then this Sublease shall
thereupon terminate.
11. Taxes.
11.1. Taxes. Landlord shall pay all Taxes applicable to the Premises, the
amount of which shall be included in calculating the total of Operating
Expenses. If any Taxes cover any period of the time prior
PAGE 9
10
to or after expiration of the term hereof, Tenant's share of such taxes shall be
equitable prorated to cover only the period of time within which this Lease
shall be in effect. As used herein, the term Taxes shall include any form of
required payment, assessment, license fee, tax on rent, levy, penalty, or tax
(other than Landlord's net income tax and inheritance or estate taxes) imposed
by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax any legal or
equitable interest of Landlord in the Property or Landlord's right to rent or
other income therefrom. If Landlord deems such action to be warranted, the cost
of contesting any Taxes or assessment affecting the Property shall be an
Operating Expense.
11.2. Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied on any leasehold improvements, fixtures,
furnishings, equipment and other property of Tenant. Tenant shall cause such
Tenant property to be assessed separately from Landlord's Property or reimburse
Landlord for the taxes attributable to Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt
of a written statement from Landlord setting forth the taxes applicable to
Tenant's property.
12. Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, drainage service, sewer
service, garbage service, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities and
services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. At the
election of the Landlord, Landlord may pay the costs of any of such utilities
which costs then shall be considered to be Operating Expenses for which Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord.
13. Assignment and Subletting.
13.1. Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this lease or the Premises
without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned, in
addition to any other reasonable conditions, on a written assumption by the
assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Tenant, a written guarantee of
payment and performance by Tenant and a consent or reaffirmation of any
guarantor of Tenant. Any purported assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance,
or subletting without consent shall be void and constitute a breach of this
Lease. No option to renew or extend, if any, may be assigned by Tenant and no
assignee or subtenant shall have any right to exercise any such option. The
acceptance of rent by Landlord from a person other than Tenant shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one
assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting.
13.2. No Release of Tenant. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Tenant's primary obligation to pay or
perform any obligation under this Lease.
13.3. Assignment Fee. In the event that Landlord shall consent to a
sublease or assignment under Article 13.1, Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with such consent.
13.4. Assignment by Landlord. Landlord shall be permitted freely to assign
all of its rights and obligations hereunder. In the event of a sale or other
transfer of the Premises, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, the Tenant agrees
to attorn to the new owner and to recognize such owner as the Landlord under
this Lease and Tenant shall thereafter look solely to such transferee for
performance of this Lease.
14. Defaults; Remedies.
14.1. Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more the following events
shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
PAGE 10
11
14.1.1. The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
14.1.2. The failure by Tenant to make any payment required to be
made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due where such failure shall continue for
a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
14.1.3. The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
provisions of this Lease (other than the payment of money) to be observed or
performed by Tenant where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10)
days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however,
that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days
are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in
default if Tenant commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
14.1.4. The making by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant of any
general assignment, or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the
filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant of a petition to have
Tenant adjudged a bankruptcy or petition for reorganization or arrangement under
any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) 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 ten (10) days; or (iv) 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 ten (10) days.
14.2. Remedies in Default. Upon the occurrence of a Default by Tenant,
Landlord, without notice to Tenant (except where expressly provided for in
this Lease or by applicable law) may do any one or more of the following:
14.2.1. Elect to terminate this Lease and the tenancy created hereby
by giving notice of such election to Tenant, and reenter the Premises, without
the necessity of legal proceedings, and remove Tenant and all other persons and
property from the Premises, and may store such property in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant without resort to legal
process and without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable
for any loss or damage occasioned thereby; and
14.2.2. Exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy which
it may have.
14.3. Damages. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this
section, Tenant nevertheless shall remain liable for (a) any rents and damages
which may be due or sustained prior to such termination, all reasonable costs,
fees and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder, or
in renting the Premises to others from time to time until the original
Termination Date of this Lease (all such rents, damages, costs, fees and
expenses being referred to herein as "Termination Damages"), and (b) additional
damages ("Post-Termination Damages"), which Post-Termination Damages, at the
election of Landlord, shall be either:
14.3.1. an amount equal to the rents which, but for termination of
this Lease, would have become due during the remainder of the Term, less the
amount of rents, if any, which Landlord shall receive during such period from
others to whom the Premises may be rented, in which case such Post-Termination
Damages shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on
the first day of each calendar month following termination of the Lease and
continuing until the date on which the Term
PAGE 11
12
would have expired but for such termination, and any suit or action brought to
collect any such Post-Termination Damages for any month shall not in any manner
prejudice the right of Landlord to collect any Post-Termination Damages for any
subsequent month by a similar proceeding; or
14.3.2. an amount equal to the present worth (as of the date of such
termination) of rents which, but for termination of this Lease, would have
become due during the remainder of the Term, less the fair rental value of the
Premises, as determined by an independent real estate appraiser named by
Landlord, in which case such Post-Termination Damages shall be payable to
Landlord in one lump sum on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate
until paid. For purposes of this section, "present worth" shall be computed by
discounting such amount to present worth at a discount rate equal to one
percentage point above the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve
Bank nearest to the Premises; provided that Tenant may avoid the application of
this section so long as Tenant voluntarily agrees to pay, and, in fact, does pay
all sums due to date under the immediately preceding section within forty-five
(45) days of receipt of notice of Landlord's declaration of the termination of
this Lease and Tenant continues thereafter to pay such amounts monthly until the
Termination Date.
14.4. Miscellaneous. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease following
the default of Tenant, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof,
alone or together with other premises, for such term or terms (which may be
greater or less than the period which otherwise would have constituted the
balance of the Term) and on such terms and conditions (which may include
concessions or free rent, alterations of the Premises and payment of brokers) as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and the costs thereof shall be
included in the total of Landlord's Termination Damages which shall be paid by
Tenant. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of
Landlord to prove for and obtain, in proceedings for the termination of this
Lease by reason of bankruptcy or insolvency, an amount equal to the maximum
allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing
the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the
amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages
referred to above. The failure or refusal of Landlord to relet the Premises or
any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for
damages.
14.5. Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless
Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable
time, but in no event later sooner thirty (30) days after written notice by
Tenant to Landlord and any Lender whose name and address shall have been
furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to
perform such obligation; provided, however, that the nature of the Landlord's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance,
then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performances within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to
completion.
14.6. Late Charges and Interest. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late
payment by Tenant to Landlord of any sum due under this Lease will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease and the amount of which
is difficult to predict in advance. Accordingly, if any sum due from Tenant
shall not be received by Landlord within ten (10) days after that said amount is
due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of five percent (5%) of
such overdue amount. In addition, any amount due to Landlord not paid when due
shall bear interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum ("Default Rate") from the
due date. Payment of such interest or late charge shall not excuse or cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease. In the event that a check from Tenant is
returned unpaid by Tenant's bank, Tenant shall pay an additional returned check
charge of twenty five dollars ($25) which Tenant agrees is reasonable and which
is in addition to a late charge and interest charges if otherwise applicable.
PAGE 12
13
14.7. Cure by Landlord. Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a
default, may cure the default at Tenant's cost. If Landlord at any time pays any
sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, repayment of the sum
paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant together with interest at
the Default Rate.
14.8. Condemnation. If all of the Premises or any portion of the Premises
which is reasonably necessary for the reasonably convenient use of the Premises
are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold by Landlord under the
threat of the exercise of said power (all of which is in referred to in this
Lease as "condemnation") or if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor
area of all buildings constituting the Premises, or more than fifty percent
(50%) of the parking areas on the Property is taken by condemnation, either
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes possession by notice in writing of such election within twenty
(20) days after Landlord shall have notified Tenant of the taking, or, in the
absence of such notice, then within twenty (20) days after the condemning
authority shall have taken possession; provided Landlord may avoid termination
of the Lease by Tenant by providing, within a reasonable time, a substantially
similar replacement for the facilities so taken. If this Lease is not terminated
by either Landlord or Tenant then it shall remain in full force and effect as to
the portion of the Premises remaining, provided the Basic Monthly Rent shall be
reduced by the proportion to the floor area of the Premises taken by
condemnation bears to the total floor area of the Premises. All awards for the
taking of any part of the Premises or any payment made under the threat of the
exercise of power of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether
made as compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking
of the fee or as severance damages; provided, however, that Tenant shall be
entitled to any separately made award for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade
fixtures and removable personal property.
14.8.1. Notwithstanding any provision in this paragraph 14.8 to the
contrary, if, under paragraph 14 of the Master Lease the Landlord therein has,
and elects to exercise a right to terminate the Master Lease, then this Sublease
shall thereupon terminate.
15. General Provisions.

Tenant is required by the terms of this Lease, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed although it may be subject to reasonable
conditions.

shall be deemed to be rent due under this Lease.
15.3. Estoppel Certificate.
15.3.1. Tenant shall, at any time, on not less than ten (10) days
prior written notice from Landlord, sign and deliver to Landlord a statement in

effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to
which the rent, security deposit, and other charges are paid in advance, if any,
and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, or specifying such
defaults, if any, which are claimed, and agreeing to give reasonable written
notice to a Lender of any future default. Any such statement may be conclusively
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.
PAGE 13
14
15.3.2. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time
period shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and
effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) not more than
one (1) month's rent has been paid in advance.
15.3.3. If Landlord desires to sell, finance or refinance the
Property, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any Lender
designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably
required by such Lender. Such statements shall include the past three (3) years
financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received
by Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set

only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title, vendee's
interest under a real estate contract, or a tenant's interest in a ground lease
of the Premises. In the event of any transfer of such title or interest,
Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers, the then
grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Landlord's obligations thereafter to be performed,
provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time
of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be delivered to the
grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Landlord
shall be binding upon Landlord's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.
15.5. Signage. At Tenant's own expense, Tenant may place one or more signs
on the Property so long as (i) Tenant has obtained Landlord's prior written
consent for the specific sign proposed by Tenant, (ii) such sign(s) conform to
all applicable governmental rules and regulations, Tenant maintains such sign is
in good condition and appearance and (iv) at the termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall remove all such signs and repair any damage caused by such sign or
its removal at Tenant's sole expense.
15.6. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as

prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be
effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in
interest at the time of the modification.
15.10. Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be
deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by
Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord's consent to or approval of
any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any provision hereof, 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.
PAGE 14
15
15.11. Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease or allow the filing
of a UCC financing statement containing the legal description of the Property
without Landlord's prior written consent, and such recordation or filing shall,
at the option of the Landlord, constitute a noncurable default of Tenant
hereunder.
15.12. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or
any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof without the express
written consent of Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to
month at a rental equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Basic Monthly Rent
due for the last month of the Lease term plus all other charges payable
hereunder, and upon the terms hereof applicable to a month to month tenancy.
15.13. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be
deemed exclusive, but shall wherever possible, be cumulative with all
other remedies at law or in equity.
15.14. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable
by Tenant shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
15.15. Binding Effect; Choice of Law; Proration. Subject to any provisions
hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant or as may be expressly
provided in this Lease, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the state where the Premises are located.
15.16. Subordination.
15.16.1. This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to
any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for
security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises
are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If
any Lender or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of
its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice
thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of
trust, or ground lease, regardless whether this Lease is dated prior or
subsequent to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, or the date of
recording thereof.
15.16.2. Provided that the mortgagee or beneficiary, as the case
may be, shall agree to recognize this Lease in the event of foreclosure if
Tenant is not in default at such time subject to such provisions relating to the
disposition or application of insurance or condemnation proceeds as may be
contained in such mortgagee or beneficiary's loan documents, Tenant agrees to
execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination or to make this
Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the
case may be, and failing to do so within ten (10) days after written demand,
does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place and stead, to do so.
15.17. Attorneys Fees. If Tenant or Landlord brings an action to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorneys fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court.
15.18. Landlord's Access. Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the
right to enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting
the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers or Lenders, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or
PAGE 15
16
to the building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or
desirable. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Premises signs
advertising the availability for sale of the Property or a portion thereof, and,
during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Lease,
Landlord may place signs on the Premises advertising the availability for lease
of the Premises so long as such signs do not unreasonably obscure Tenant's
existing signs identifying its business.
15.19. Auctions. Tenant shall not advertise or conduct any auction or
going out of business sale in the Premises.
15.20. Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a legal entity, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or
she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of such
entity and that this Lease is binding upon such entity in accordance with its
terms.
15.21. Landlord's Liability. Any claim by Tenant against Landlord shall
be limited to the Landlord's interest in the Property, and Tenant expressly
waives any and all rights to proceed against any other assets of Landlord or any
owner of Landlord.
15.22. Broker's Fee. Upon execution of this Lease by both parties,
Landlord shall pay to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc., a licensed real estate
broker, a fee as set forth in a separate agreement between Landlord and said
broker, or in the event there is no separate agreement the sum of 5% for
brokerage services rendered by said broker to Landlord in this transaction.
Landlord further agrees that if Tenant exercises any option granted herein or
any option substantially similar thereto, either to extend the term of this
Lease, to renew this Lease, to purchase said Premises or any part thereof and/or
any adjacent property which Landlord may own or in which Landlord has an
interest or any other option granted herein, or if said broker is the procuring
cause of any other lease or sale entered into between the parties pertaining to
the Premises and/or any adjacent property in which Landlord has an interest,
then as to any said transactions, Landlord shall pay said broker a fee in
accordance with the schedule of said broker in effect at the time of execution
of this Lease. Landlord agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Landlord
but also on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity
having an ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when
such fee is due hereunder. Any transferee of Landlord's interest in this Lease,
by accepting an assignment of such interest, shall be deemed to have assumed
Landlord's obligation under this Paragraph 15.22. Said broker shall be a third
party beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph.
15.23. Notices. Wherever under this Lease provision is made for any
demand, notice or declaration of any kind, or where it is deemed desirable or
necessary by either party to give or serve any such notice, demand or
declaration to the other party, it shall be in writing and served either
personally or sent by United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the
address stated at the beginning of this Lease or such subsequent address as may
have been specified for such purpose in a written notice given to the other
party.

without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United
States, the sum of FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,600.00). If
the commencement date is not the last day of a month, or if the Lease
termination date is not the last day of a month, a prorated monthly installment
shall be paid at the then current rate for the fractional month during which the
Lease commences and/or terminates.
Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the sum of NINE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($9,200.00) as
rent for December 1979 and last month.
3.2 Additional Monetary Sums. This Lease is entered into by Landlord for
the express purpose of providing Landlord with net income from rent, free and
clear of any and all expenses, charges, taxes, liens or impositions, of any
kind. In addition to the rent reserved by Section 3.1, Tenant shall pay all
impositions, insurance premiums, operating and maintenance charges, construction
costs and any other charges, costs and expenses which arise during the term of
this Lease. In the event of the non-payment of all or any portion of such
charges, costs and expenses, Landlord shall [illegible] the same rights and
remedies as provided in this Lease for failure of Tenant to pay rent. The
parties agree that this Lease is not terminable for any reason by the Tenant;
Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any abatement for reduction of rent or
other monetary sums payable hereunder except as expressly herein provided,
notwithstanding any present or future law to the contrary.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord the sum of FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($4,600.00). Said sum shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit for the
faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of
this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant
defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including but not limited
to the provisions relating to the payment of rent and any of the monetary sums
due herewith, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain
all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any other amount
which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's
default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord
may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of said deposit is so
used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the
security deposit to its original amount; Tenant's failure to do so shall be a
material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep this
security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the security
deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's
option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interests hereunder) at the expiration
of the Lease term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the event of
termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer said
deposit to Landlord's successor in interest, whereupon Tenant agrees to release
Landlord from all liability for the return of such deposit or the accounting
therefor.

5. TAXATION.
5.1 Payment of Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all real property
taxes levied against the Premises during the term of this Lease. All such
payments shall be made at least twenty (20) days prior to the delinquency date
of such payment. Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with satisfactory
evidence that such taxes have been paid. If Tenant fails to pay any such taxes,
Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to pay same, in which case
Tenant shall repay such amount to Landlord with Tenant's next rent installment
together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
5.2 Proration; Joint Assessment. In the event any such real property
taxes paid by Tenant covering any period of time prior to commencement or after
the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant's share of such taxes shall be
equitably prorated to cover only the period of time within the fiscal tax year
during which this Lease is in effect, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant to the
extent required. With respect to any assessments which may be levied against or
upon the Premises, or which under the laws then in force may be evidenced by
improvement or other bonds or may be paid in annual installments, only the
amount of such annual installment (with appropriate proration for any partial
year) and interest due thereon shall be included within the computation of the
annual taxes and assessments levied against the Premises. In the event the
Premises are not separately assessed, Tenant's liability shall be an equitable
proportion of the real property taxes for all of the land and improvements
included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by
Landlord from the respective valuations assigned in the Assessor's worksheets or
such other information as may be reasonably available to Landlord, with
Landlord's reasonable determination thereof in good faith to be conclusive.
5.3 Definition of "Real Property Tax". As used in this Lease, the term
"real property tax" shall include any form of assessment, levy, penalty or tax
(other than inheritance, estate, net income or franchise taxes), imposed by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government or any school, agricultural, lighting,
drainage or other improvement district thereof, whether such tax is (a) upon,
allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rental payable
hereunder, including without limitation any gross income tax or excise tax
levied by the State, any political subdivision thereof, city or Federal
Government with respect to the receipt of such rental; or (b) upon or with
respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion
thereof; or (c) upon or measured by the value of Tenant's personal property,
equipment or fixtures located in the Premises; or (d) upon this transaction or
any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an estate in the Premises; or (e) whether or not now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties.
5.4 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment
and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or
elsewhere. When possible, Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately
from the real property of the Landlord.
6. USE.
6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant for only the
following purposes and for no other purposes whatsoever without obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord: Sales Office/Showroom and storage of
janitorial supplies and related equipment.
6.2 Suitability. If the Premises are completed as of the date of
execution hereof, then Tenant, by execution of this Lease, shall be deemed to
have accepted the Premises in the condition existing as of the
PAGE 23
24
date of execution and in any event this Lease shall be subject to all applicable
zoning ordinances and to any municipal, county and state laws and regulations
governing and regulating the use of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that
neither Landlord nor Landlord's agent has made any representation or warranty as
to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business.
6.3 Uses Prohibited.
(a) Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
the Premises which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the
Premises (unless Tenant shall pay any increased premium as a result of such use
or acts) or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Premises
or any building of which the Premises may be a part, nor shall Tenant sell or
permit to be kept, used or sold in or about said Premises any articles which may
be prohibited by a standard form policy of fire insurance.
(b) 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 any building of which the Premises may be a part
or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for an unlawful
or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste in or upon the Premises.
(c) Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done
in or about the Premises which will in anyway conflict with any law, statute,
zoning restriction, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation or requirements
or duly constituted public authorities now in force or which may hereafter be
enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly
comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations
or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force and with the
requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or
hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy
of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission of Tenant or any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party
thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact
as between Landlord and Tenant.
7. UTILITIES.
Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency for all water, gas, heat, light,
power, telephone, sewage, air conditioning and ventilating, scavenger,
janitorial, landscaping and all other materials and utilities supplied to the
Premises. If any such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant
shall pay a reasonable proportion of all charges which are jointly metered, the
determination to be made by Landlord, and payment to be made by Tenant within
ten (10) days of receipt of a statement for such charges.
8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
8.1 Tenant's Obligations. Throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall
keep in good order, condition and repair the Premises and every part hereof,
structural or non-structural, and all adjacent sidewalks, landscaping,
driveways, parking lots, fences, and signs located adjacent to or included
within the Premises. Landlord shall incur no expense nor have any obligation of
any kind whatsoever in connection with maintenance of the Premises, and Tenant
expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which
would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense or
to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in
good order. Tenant shall do all
PAGE 24
25
acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and
rules of any public authority relating to its maintenance obligation as set
forth herein. See Addendum Number 1; Paragraph 8.1 "a" TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS.
8.2 Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as received, broom
clean, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
agrees to repair any damage to the Premises caused by or in connection with the
removal of any articles of personal property, business or trade fixtures,
machinery, equipment, cabinetwork, furniture, movable partition, or permanent
improvements or addition, including without limitation thereto, repairing the
floor and patching and painting the walls where required by Landlord to
Landlord's reasonable satisfaction. Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against
any loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the
Premises, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant
founded on such delay.
8.3 Landlord's Rights. In the event Tenant fails to perform Tenant's
obligations under this Section 8 Landlord shall give Tenant notice to do such
acts as are reasonably required to so maintain the Premises; if Tenant shall
fail to commence such work and diligently prosecute it to completion, then
Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to do such acts and expend
such funds at the expense of Tenant as are reasonably required to perform such
work. Any amount so expended by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant promptly after
demand with interest at ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of such work.
Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage, inconvenience or
interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant as a result of performing
any such work.
8.4 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
(a) Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, make
any alterations, additions, improvements or utility installations in, on or
about the Premises, except for non-structural alterations not exceeding $2500 in
cost. As used in this Section 8.4, the term "utility installations" shall
include ducting, power panels, flourescent fixtures, space heaters, conduit and
wiring. As a condition to giving such consent, Landlord may require that Tenant
agree to remove any such alterations, additions, improvements or utility
installations at the expiration of the term and to restore the Premises to their
prior condition. As a further condition to giving such consent, Landlord may
require Tenant to provide Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a lien
and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated
cost of such improvements, to insure Landlord against any liability for
mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work.
(b) Unless Landlord requires their removal, as set forth in
Paragraph 8.4(a), all alterations, additions, improvements and utility
installations (whether or not such utility installations constitute trade
fixtures of Tenant), which may be made on the Premises, shall at the expiration
or earlier termination of the Lease become the property of Landlord and remain
upon and be surrendered with the Premises. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Paragraph 8.4(b), personal property, business and trade fixtures,
cabinetwork, furniture, movable partitions, machinery and equipment, other than
that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without
material damage to the Premises, shall remain the property of Tenant and may be
removed by Tenant subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8.2, at any time during
the term of this Lease when Tenant is not in default.

Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the right at reasonable times to
enter the Premises to inspect the same or to maintain or repair, make
alterations or additions to the Premises or any portion thereof or to show the
Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants or lenders. Landlord may, at any
time, place on or about the Premises any ordinary "for sale" signs; Landlord may
at any time during the last ninety (90) days of the term of the Lease place on
or about the Premises any ordinary "for lease" signs. Tenant hereby waives any
claim for abatement of rent or for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or

the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby.
10. LIENS.
Tenant shall keep the Premises and any building of which the Premises are
a part free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by Tenant and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Landlord from any liens and encumbrances arising out of any work performed or
materials furnished by or at the direction of Tenant. In the event that Tenant
shall not, within twenty (20) days following imposition of any such lien, cause
such lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by
law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such
means as it shall deemed property, including payment of the claim giving rise to
such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in
connection therewith including attorney's fees and costs shall be payable to
Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the
Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or which Landlord shall deem
proper, for the protection of Landlord and the Premises, and any other party
having an interest therein, from mechanics' and materialmen's liens, and Tenant
shall give to Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of
the expected date of commencement of any work relating to alterations or
additions to the Premises.
11. INDEMNITY.
11.1 Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
and against any and all claims of liability for any injury or damage to a person
or property arising form Tenant's use of the Premises, or from the conduct of
Tenant's business, or from any activity, work or thing be permitted or suffered
by Tenant in or about the Premises or elsewhere. Tenant shall further indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims arising from any
breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be
performed under this Lease or any negligence of Tenant or Tenant's agents,
contractors or employees, and from and against all costs, all attorney's fees,
expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action
or proceeding brought thereon. In the event any action or processing is brought
against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice form Landlord
shall defend same at Tenant's expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord.
Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all
risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises
arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof
against Landlord.
11.2 Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Landlord shall not be liable
for injury to Tenant's business or loss of income therefrom or for damage which
may be sustained by the person, goods, wares, merchandise or property of Tenant,
its employees, invitees, customers, agents or contractors or any other person in
or about the Premises, caused by or resulting from fire, steam, electricity,
gas, water or rain,
PAGE 26
27
which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures of the same, whether
the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or
upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a part, or from
either sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or
injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant. Landlord
shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other
tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises are located.
12. INSURANCE
12.1 Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, procure and
maintain at all times during the term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive
public liability insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability
arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy, or maintenance of the Premises and
appurtenant areas. Such insurance shall at all times be in an amount of not less
than $300,000.00 for injury to or death of any one person in any one accident or
occurrence and in an amount of not less than $500,000.00 for injury to or death
of more than one person in any one accident or occurrence, and in amount of not
less than $50,000.00 for liability for property damage. The limits of such
insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant, if the Premises are part of a
larger property, said insurance shall have a Landlord's Protective Liability
endorsement attached hereto. All insurance required hereunder shall be with
companies rated AAA or better in "Best's Insurance Guide." Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing the existence and amounts of
such insurance with loss payable clauses satisfactory to Landlord, provided that
in the event Tenant fails to procure and maintain such insurance, Landlord may
(but shall not be required to) procure same at Tenant's expense after ten (10)
days prior written notice. No such policy shall be cancellable or subject to
reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as
primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which the
Landlord may carry. Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders or
Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost to Tenant, which amount
shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. Tenant shall have the right to provide
such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant provided
such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to Tenant as
required by this Lease. *Amounts of such coverage shall be mutually agreed upon
between Landlord and Tenant in writing.
12.2. Property Insurance. Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, procure and
maintain at all times during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of
insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises in the amount of the full
replacement value thereof (exclusive of Tenant's trade fixtures and equipment)
providing protection against all perils included within the classification of
fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and
special extended peril (all-risk). Tenant shall pay such annual insurance
premiums to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of a copy
of the premium statement or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount
due, which shall include the method of calculation of Tenant's share thereof if
the insurance covers other improvements than the Premises. Such insurance shall
provide for payment of loss thereunder to Landlord or the holder of a first
mortgage or deed of trust on the Premises.
12.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and
all rights of recovery against the other or against the officers, employees,
agents and representatives of the other, on account of loss or damage occasioned
to such waiving party of its property or the property of others under its
control caused by fire or any of the extended coverage risks described above to
the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance
policy in force at the time of such loss or damages. The
PAGE 27
28
insuring party shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required under
this Lease, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing
mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.
13. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
13.1 Obligation to Rebuild. In the event the improvements on the Premises
are damaged or destroyed, partially or totally, from any cause whatsoever,
whether or not covered by insurance, the Tenant shall repair, restore and
rebuild the Premises to their condition prior to such damage or destruction and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Such repair, restoration and
rebuilding (hereinafter "repair") shall be commenced within a reasonable time
after such damage or destruction and shall be diligently prosecuted to
completion. There shall be no abatement of rents or any monetary or other
obligation of Tenant under this Lease by reason of such damage or destruction.
13.2 Availability of Insurance Proceeds. If the damage or destruction
results from risk against which insurance is to be provided pursuant to Section
12.2, then the proceeds of such insurance shall be made available to Tenant for
payment of the cost and expense of the repair. Landlord may make such proceeds
available to Tenant subject to reasonable conditions, including without
limitation thereto, a requirement of architect's certification of costs,
retention of a percentage of such proceeds pending final notice of completion, a
lien and completion bond to be provided solely at Tenant's expense to insure
against mechanic's or materialmen's liens arising out of the repair and to
insure completion of the repair. In the event that the insurance proceeds are
insufficient to cover the cost of repair, then any amounts in excess thereof
required to complete the repair shall be paid by Tenant. In the event such
insurance proceeds are not made available to Tenant within ninety (90) days
after such damage or destruction, Tenant shall have the option for thirty (30)
days commencing on the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, to cancel this
Lease by written notice to Landlord within said thirty (30) day period. If
Tenant shall exercise such option, Tenant shall have no further obligation
hereunder and shall have no further claim against Landlord or the insurance
proceeds, provided, however, that Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant so
much of Tenant's security deposit as has not applied by Landlord.
13.3. Damage Near End of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, if the damage or destruction occurs during the
last year of the term of this Lease to an extent greater than twenty five
percent (25%) of the then replacement value of the improvements on the Premises,
Tenant may elect not to restore, such election on the part of Tenant to be given
by notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or
destruction. In the event Tenant so elects to terminate, then this Lease shall
be terminated as of the later of the date of giving of such notice or the date
Tenant completes its vacation from the premises. In the event of such
termination, all proceeds of insurance carried in connection with the Premises
shall be payable to the Landlord.
14. CONDEMNATION.
(a) If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of
eminent domain, or sold by Landlord under the threat of the exercise of said
power (all of which is hereto referred to as "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes
title or possession, whichever occurs first. If more than ten percent (10%) of
the floor area of any buildings on the Premises, or more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the land area of the Premises not covered with buildings, is
taken by condemnation, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease, as of
the date the condemning authority takes possession, by notice in writing of such
election within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have notified Tenant of
the taking, or in the absence of such notice then within twenty (20) days after
the condemning authority shall have taken possession.
PAGE 28
29
(b) If this Lease is not terminated by either Landlord or Tenant then it
shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises
remaining, provided the rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor
area of the buildings taken within the Premises bears to the total floor area of
all buildings located on the Premises. In the event this Lease is not so
terminated then Landlord agrees, at Landlord's sole cost, to restore the
Premises to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to
the condemnation as soon as reasonably possible. All awards for the taking of
any part of the Premises or any payment made under the threat of the exercise of
power of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether made as
compensation for diminution of value of a leasehold or for the taking of the fee
or as severance damages; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any
award for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and removable personal
property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such
condemnation, Landlord shall, to the extent of severance damages received by
Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises
caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of
such severance damages required to complete such repair.
15. ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING.
15.1 Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign, transfer,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein,
and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior
written consent of Landlord and any attempt to do so without such consent
being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute breach
of this Lease. See Addendum Number 1, Paragraph 15.1. "a" LANDLORD'S CONSENT
REQUIRED.
15.2 No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or
subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by
the Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent,
assignment or subletting. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or
subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's
express written consent to any other assignment or subletting. The acceptance of
rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment,
subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other
transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting or other transfer.
15.3 Attorney's Fees. In the event Landlord shall consent to a sublease or
assignment under this Section 15, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable
attorney's fees not to exceed $500.00 incurred in connection with giving such
consent.
16. SUBORDINATION.
16.1 Subordination. This Lease at Landlord's option shall be subject and
subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter
be executed affecting the Premises or the land upon which the Premises are
situated or both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust in any
amount or amounts whatsoever now or thereafter placed on or against the land or
improvements or either thereof, of which the Premises are a part, or on or
against Landlord's interest or estate therein, or on or against any ground or
underlying lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any
further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. If
any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to
the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written
notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage,
deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent
to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of the
recording thereof.
PAGE 29
30
16.2 Subordination Agreement. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver upon demand without charge therefore, such further instruments
evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases
and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by
Landlord, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact,
irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such agreements, instruments, releases
or other documents.
16.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon
Tenant paying rent and other monetary sums due under the Lease and performing
its covenants and conditions, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have,
hold and enjoy the Premises for the term, subject however, to the terms of the
Lease and of any of the aforesaid ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust
described above.
16.4 Attornment. In the event any proceedings are brought for default
under any ground or underlying lease or in the event of foreclosure or an
exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by the
Landlord covering the Premises, the Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon
any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchasers as the Landlord under
this Lease; provided said purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be bound by
the terms of the Lease.
17. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
17.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute
a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or any other monetary sums
required to be paid hereunder (where such failure continues for three (3) days
after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant);
(b) The abandonment or vacation of the premises by Tenant;
(c) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure
continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the
________________ cannot reasonably be cured within such twenty (20) day period,
Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period
commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion;
(d) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days);
the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all
of Tenant's assets located 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.
17.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice and demand
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or
in equity which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the
rent and other monetary charges as they become due, without terminating Tenant's
right to possession, irrespective of
PAGE 30

whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects
to not terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to attempt to re-let
the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, and to
do all acts necessary to maintain or preserve the Premises as Landlord deems
reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have elected to terminate the
Lease including removal of all persons and property from the Premises; such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost of and for the account of Tenant, in the event any such re-letting occurs,
this Lease shall terminate automatically upon the new Tenant taking possession
of the Premises. Notwithstanding that Landlord fails to elect to terminate the
Lease initially, Landlord at any time during the term of this Lease may elect to
terminate this Lease by virtue of such previous default of Tenant.
(b) Terminate Tenant's right to possession by any lawful means, in
which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord, in such event Landlord shall be entitled
to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's
default including without limitation thereto, the following: (i) the worth at
the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such
termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount at such rental loss that is proved could have been
reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that is proved could be reasonably
avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom; plus (v) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in
addition to or in lieu of the forgoing as may be permitted form time to time by
applicable state law. Upon any such re-entry Landlord shall have the right to
make any reasonable repairs, alterations or modifications to the Premises, which
Landlord in its sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary. As used in
subparagraph (i) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of default. As
used in subparagraph (ii) and (iii) the "worth at the time of award" is computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank
at the time of award plus one percent (1%). The term "rent", as used in this
Section 17, shall be deemed to be and to mean the rent to be paid pursuant to
Section 3 and all other monetary sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to
the terms of this Lease.
17.3 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due form Tenant shall
not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after
such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to
ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will
incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by
Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect
to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies granted hereunder.
17.4 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless
Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable
time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant
to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to
Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such
obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's
PAGE 31
32
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance,
then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within
such thirty-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to
completion.

be altered, amended or removed only by an instrument in writing signed by both
Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant agree hereby that all prior or
contemporaneous oral agreements between and among themselves and their agents or
representatives relative to the leasing of the Premises are merged in or revoked
by this Agreement.
19.5 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any
extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and
each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
19.6 Costs of Suit.
(a) If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action for any relief
against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease,
including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent or possession of the

party to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by any third party against
Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises by
license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or material

against Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof, and costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in or in connection
with such litigation.

Lease and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating
to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by either party
if such party shall consist of more than one person or organization, shall be
deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and remedies of the parties shall
be cumulative and non-exclusive of any other remedy at law or in equity.
19.8 Binding Effect; Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all the
provisions hereof are to be construed as both covenants and conditions as though
the words importing such covenants and conditions were used in each separate
paragraph hereof: subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or
subletting by Tenant and subject to section 19.2, all of the provisions hereof
shall bind and
PAGE 33
34
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the state of Washington.
19.9 Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall
be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom waiver is
claimed, and any waiver or the breach of any covenant, term or condition shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceeding or succeeding breach of the same
or any the covenant, term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of any
performance by Tenant after the time the same shall become due shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any covenant, term
or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.
19.10 [illegible]. [illegible]____________________________________.
19.11 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of
the Premises after the expiration of the term hereof, with or without the
express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month to
month only, and not a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and
in such case, rent and other monetary sums due hereunder shall be payable in the
amount and at the time specified in this Lease and such month to month tenancy
shall be subject to every either term, covenant and agreement contained herein.

consent.

wherever in this Lease Landlord or Tenant is required to give its consent or
approval to any action on the part of the other, such consent or approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of failure to give any such consent,
the other party shall be entitled to specific performance at law and shall have
such other remedies as are reserved to it under this Lease, but in no event
shall Landlord or Tenant be responsible in monetary damages for failure to give
consent unless said failure is withheld maliciously or in bad faith.
19.14 Interest on Past Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein
provided, any amount due to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest at
ten per cent (10%) per annum from the due date. Payment of such interest shall
not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.
19.15 Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease without Landlord's
prior written consent, and such recordation shall, at the option of Landlord
constitute a non-curable default of Tenant hereunder. Either party shall, upon
request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short
form" memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.
19.16 Notices. All notices or demands of any kind required or desired to
be given by Landlord or Tenant hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed

become effective on January 1 of 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1997. In the event

ADDITION AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING
Lessor shall construct an addition and make improvements to the office area at
2250 - lst Avenue South in accordance with the preliminary plan and
specifications provided by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx Architects attached herewith and
marked Exhibit 'A'. Lessee hereby agrees to the use of that architect and

construction of the improvements, but shall have no liability to Lessee for any
personal injury or property damage suffered by Lessee caused by any act or
omission of the contractor, provided, that lessor shall require the contractor
to carry comprehensive personal liability insurance. Lessee hereby recognizes
that interruptions of its business operations will occur as a result of the
construction activities and hereby waives any claim it might in the future have
against Lessor arising out of any such interruption.
43

(including charges to date)
Permits 1,000

Contingency 3,000
--------
$110,150

could be some adjustments, either increase or decrease, to the total upon
completion of construction documents and obtaining a firm bid prior to actual
commencement of construction, and the construction, and resulting from the
construction process itself.
It is further understood and agreed to by Lessor and Lessee that Lessee shall
bear the entire cost of the above referenced addition and improvements.
