1. TERM; ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES; PREMISES
1.1 TERM; POSSESSION OF PREMISES; DELAYED DELIVERY. The term of this
Lease shall commence on the "Commencement Date" (as defined below) and shall
end on 11/30/2001 (the "Expiration Date"). Commencement Date is the date
Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, which shall not be
later than 12/01/96. Written notice from Landlord to Tenant that the
Premises are available as of a specified date shall constitute delivery of
possession of the Premises as of that date. The Premises shall be deemed
ready for possession upon the completion of all standard tenant finish out
items. Completion of tenant upgrades, custom finish out items or punch list
items shall not be required in order for the Premises to be deemed ready for
occupancy. If possession is not delivered to Tenant by 12/01/96 and the
cause for delay is not the fault of Tenant or its agents, the Commencement
Date shall be extended to the date possession is delivered to Tenant and the
Expiration Date shall be extended a like number of days as the delay period.
The Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage due to the delay. If the cause for the delay
is the fault of Tenant or its agents, the delay shall not affect the
Commencement Date and Tenant shall begin paying rent on that date unless
otherwise provided by Landlord.
1.2 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Occupying all or any portion of the
Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive that the Premises are in satisfactory
condition and acceptable to Tenant subject only to latent defects and
deficiencies listed in writing by Xxxxxx and delivered to Landlord within ten
(10) days after Xxxxxx's initial occupancy. The Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord the Acceptance Letter contained in Exhibit C within ten
(10) days after Xxxxxx's occupancy.
1.3 PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases
from Landlord the Premises designated as Suite 300 in the Building known as
REFLECTIONS II located at 000 XXXXXX XXX XXXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXXX, XXXXXXXX
00000. The Premises are located on the THIRD floor of the Building and
consist of certain office space representing approximately 19,229 square feet
of Rentable Area. The Rentable Area of the Premises represents 26% of the
Building's Rentable Area.
The term "Rentable Area" shall have the meaning set forth in "Standard
Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings", Building Owners and
Managers Association International, American National Standard, approved July
31, 1980.
2. RENT; DEPOSITS
2.1 RENT WHEN DUE; WHERE PAID. All monies payable by Tenant to Landlord
under this Lease shall be deemed to be rent. Beginning on the Commencement
Date, rent shall be paid to Landlord in advance, in monthly installments on
the first day of each calendar month, during the entire term of this Lease,
without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United
States at the address of Landlord as set forth in this Lease, or to such
other person or entity or to such other address as Landlord may designate in
writing. Tenant's obligation to pay all rent due under this Lease shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Should
Commencement Date be on a day other than the first day of the month or
terminate on a day other than the last day of the month, the rent for such
partial month shall be pro-rated based on a 365-day year and shall be paid on
Commencement Date.
2.1.1 BASIC RENT. Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord a Basic Rent
of $24,837.46 per month ($298,049.50 per year), adjusted annually as provided
in Section 2.6.
2.1.2 INTEREST RATE ON DELINQUENCIES. If Tenant shall fail to
pay any monthly installment of Basic Rent or any Additional Rent or other
charges when due, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the rate of the
lesser of 15% per annum or the highest lawful rate under applicable law from
the due date until paid. Tenant shall at the time the late payment is made
pay such interest plus a penalty equal to 5% of the amount of delinquent
rent. This provision shall not be construed to adjust, alter or modify the
date when monthly installments of rent are due, nor shall the payment of any
interest required by this Section be deemed to cure or excuse any default by
Tenant under this Lease.
2.2 DEPOSITS. Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this Lease,
has deposited with Landlord the amounts described in sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2
below.
2.2.1 GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. Tenant has deposited with Landlord a
Good Faith Deposit in the amount of $24,837.46 to be held by Landlord without
interest, and which shall be applied to the first payment of the Basic Rent
as defined in Section 2.1.1. Should Tenant fail, for any reason, to enter
into occupancy of the Premises when possession of same have been delivered by
Landlord, the Good Faith Deposit shall be forfeited by Tenant without
prejudice to any other remedy under law the Landlord may have.
2.2.2 SECURITY DEPOSIT. INTENTIONALLY DELETED
2.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. Tenant shall pay, monthly, as Additional Rent any
money required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.4
designated "Additional Rent" and all other sums of money or charges required
to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not the same be designated
Additional Rent.
2.3.1 ADDITIONAL RENT - OPERATING COSTS. INTENTIONALLY DELETED
2.3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT - PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay its
pro-rata share of all Property Taxes in excess of $70,728.96 ($.96 per square
foot of Rentable Area) in any calendar year levied and assessed upon the
Building and the land upon which the Building
is situated. Property Taxes shall include any taxes and assessments which
may hereafter be substituted for real estate taxes by the applicable taxing
authorities, including general and special impositions on the Building and
grounds and any taxes on rent or rental income imposed in lieu of or in
addition to real estate taxes. Tenants pro rata share shall be adjusted to
reflect the actual period of occupancy during the calendar year. In
addition, Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against
personal property, furniture, or fixtures placed by or on behalf of Tenant in
the Premises.
2.4 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT. Prior to January 1 of each calendar
year Landlord may make a reasonable estimate of Xxxxxx's pro-rata share of
excess <#>operating costs and property taxes for the calendar year, and
this amount shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, concurrently with the
regular monthly rent payment, an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment
until the next calendar year's estimate is rendered. In addition, Landlord
shall endeavor to give to Tenant by March 31 of each year a statement of the
increase in rent payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 2.3 relative to the
immediately preceding calendar year, but failure by Landlord to give such a
statement shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to require
Additional Rent. Upon receipt of such statement applicable to the first
calendar year, Tenant shall pay in full the total amount of any rental
increase due for the first calendar year. If, according to this statement,
Xxxxxx's Pro Rata Share of such costs exceeds Tenant's payments made pursuant
to Sections 2.3 and 2.4, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within ten
(10) days after the date of such statement. If said payments exceed Xxxxxx's
Pro Rata Share of excess <#>operating costs and property taxes, Tenant
shall be entitled to offset the excess against the next payments thereafter
to become due Landlord pursuant to this Section. When the final
determination is made of Tenant's pro-rata share of excess <#>operating costs
and property taxes for the year in which this Lease terminates and Tenant
vacates the Premises, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the
excess costs already paid and conversely any overpayment made in the event
said costs are lower than previously estimated shall be immediately rebated
by Landlord to Tenant. Termination of the Lease shall not impair the
Tenant's obligation to pay any Additional Rent owed to Landlord.
2.5 PRO-RATA DEFINITION. The term "Tenant's Pro-Rata Share" is defined
as the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises to the total Rentable Area
of the Building. The percentage is shown in Section 1.3.
2.6 RENT ESCALATION. The Basic Rent to be paid monthly to Landlord by
Tenant shall be increased annually on the anniversary of this Lease each year
by THREE PERCENT (3%).
3. USE; RESTRICTIONS ON USE; BUILDING REGULATIONS; QUIET-ENJOYMENT; SERVICES
BY LANDLORD.
3.1 USE. Premises shall be used for GENERAL OFFICE USE and for no other
purpose. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply with all laws, rules,
regulations, requirements, and ordinances enacted or imposed by any
governmental unit having jurisdiction over the Building, Premises, Landlord
or Tenant.
3.2 BUILDING RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall obey all rules and
regulations (including restrictions) of the Building as imposed by Landlord
and set forth in Exhibit A and incorporated as a part of this Lease.
Landlord shall have the right to make changes or additions to such rules and
regulations provided such changes or additions, except those affecting the
safety and operation of the Building or Premises, do not unreasonably affect
Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for failure of
any tenant to obey such rules and regulations. Failure by Landlord to
enforce any current or subsequent rules or regulations against any tenant of
the Building shall not constitute a waiver thereof.
3.3 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Xxxxxxxx agrees that, subject to terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease, Tenant may, upon observing and complying with
all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, peaceably and quietly
occupy the Premises.

such services are provided to Premises on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays or
times other than specified, or are of a level in excess of those described,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of those services provided based
upon Xxxxxxxx's schedule of rates in effect at the time such services are
furnished. If any services to be provided are suspended or interrupted by
strikes, repairs, alterations, orders from any governmental authority or any
cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord shall not be liable for
any costs or damages incurred by Tenant. Suspension or interruption shall not
result in any abatement of rent, be deemed an eviction or relieve Tenant of
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
3.4.1 SERVICES PROVIDED. Landlord will furnish the Premises,
without additional charge (except as provided in Sections 2.3 and 2.4),
subject to all the provisions of 3.4 above, janitorial service in accordance

SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE; SALE
BY LANDLORD.
4.1 ASSIGNMENT; SUBLET. Tenant shall not assign, pledge, grant a
security interest in or mortgage this Lease, or sublet all or any portion of
the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which, if consented to
by Landlord, shall be in a form acceptable to Landlord. No assignment,
mortgaging or subletting, if consented to by Landlord, shall relieve Tenant
of its obligations under this Lease. Consent by Landlord shall not operate
as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent assignment,
mortgaging or subletting and the terms of such consent shall be binding upon
the assignee, mortgagee or subtenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns, for
purposes of collateral, the rent of any and all assignees and sublessees and,
upon instruction from Landlord, shall notify any assignee or sublessee to
make such payments directly to Landlord. For convenience purposes, the
Landlord may, at his option, make arrangements to collect the rent directly
from the assignee or subtenant. Additionally, if the Tenant does sublet
Premises, in whole or in part, then it is hereby mutually agreed that
Landlord shall have the right to 75% of any additional rental income which is
the result of such sublease. For purposes of this section, "Additional
Rental Income" is defined as the difference between all rent paid by
subtenant and all rent owed by Xxxxxx to Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall
submit periodic reports to Landlord computing any subrental payments due to
Landlord and enclosing the payments.
4.2 CORPORATE TRANSFER. Any transfer of this Lease by merger,
consolidation or liquidation, or any change in the ownership of or power to
vote the majority of Tenant's outstanding voting stock, shall constitute an
assignment whether the result of a single or series of transactions. Unless
Tenant's stock is listed on a recognized security exchange or if less than
eighty percent (80%) of its stock is owned by a corporation whose stock is
listed on a recognized security exchange, an assignment forbidden under this
Lease shall include one or more sales or transfers, by operation of law or
otherwise, or creation of new stock, by which an aggregate of more than fifty
percent (50%) of Tenant's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are
non-stockholders as of the Commencement Date of this Lease.
4.3 RECAPTURE OF PREMISES. Xxxxxx's request for Xxxxxxxx's consent to
the assigning this Lease or subletting all or any part of the Premises shall
contain an offer to Landlord to recapture, at the then square foot rental
rate or the rental Tenant proposes to obtain, whichever is lower, all or such
part of the Premises which Tenant proposes to assign or sublet. Upon receipt
of such offer, Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised within sixty
(60) days following receipt, to accept the Tenant's offer to permit Landlord
to recapture. If accepted, Xxxxxx shall execute an assignment of the Lease
or a sublease to Landlord in a form acceptable to Landlord, with Landlord
having the right to sublease or subrent to others. In such event, Tenant
shall not be relieved of its liability under this Lease. If Landlord
exercises its option to recapture and the assignment or sublease from Tenant
provides for a rental rate equal to the rental rate in effect as of the date
the option is exercised, Tenant shall be released of all further liability
under this Lease, as of the effective date of the assignment or sublease,
with respect to that portion of the Premises subject to the assignment or
sublease.
4.4 MORTGAGE BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall have the right to transfer,
assign, pledge, grant a security interest in, mortgage or convey in whole or
in part the Building and any and all of its rights under this Lease, and
nothing herein shall be construed as a restriction upon Xxxxxxxx's so doing.
4.5 SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate
in all respects to any and all mortgages, deeds of trust and ground leases
now or hereafter placed on the Building or the land upon which the Building
is situated, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements
and extensions thereof.
4.6 ATTORNMENT. If the interest of Xxxxxxxx is transferred to any
person or entity by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for
enforcement of any mortgage, deed of trust or security interest or by
delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings, or by reason
of sale, assignment or other transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building,
Tenant shall immediately and automatically attorn to such person or entity.
In event of such transfer, this Lease and Xxxxxx's rights hereunder shall
continue undisturbed so long as Tenant is not in default. Tenant shall, at
Xxxxxxxx's request, execute an agreement providing for subordination of the
Lease. Tenant agrees that the termination of any ground lease shall not
result in termination of this Lease.
4.7 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to
time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice by Xxxxxxxx, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or any person designated by
Landlord, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect, or, if there have been modifications specifying
the same; (ii) certifying that Xxxxxx has accepted possession of the
Premises, and that any improvements required by the terms of this Lease to be
made by the Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of the Tenant
or, if not, describing such unsatisfactory improvements; (iii) stating that
no rent under this Lease has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance
of its due date; (iv) stating the address to which notices to Tenant should
be sent; (v) certifying that Tenant, as of the date of any such
certification, has no charge, lien or claim of set-off under this Lease, or
otherwise, against rents or other charges due or to become due hereunder;

in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition
contained in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which
Tenant may have knowledge; and (vii) containing any other statement as
Landlord may reasonably request. Any such
statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any owner
of the Building, any prospective purchaser of the Building, any mortgagee or
prospective mortgagee of the Building or of Landlord's interest, or any
prospective assignee of any such mortgagee.
4.8 SALE BY LANDLORD. In the event Landlord transfers its interest in
the Building, Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligation
hereunder, and Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of
the Landlord for the performance of such obligations.
5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; RIGHT OF ENTRY; ALTERATIONS; LIENS; SIGNS.
5.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS BY TENANT. Tenant shall maintain the
Premises and any alterations and additions to the Premises in good condition.

regarding all work to be performed.
5.1.1 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OR REPAIR. If, within ten
days following occurrence, Tenant fails to repair or replace any damage to

5.2 LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord, its agents, contractors or
employees shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable hours to

emergency Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees shall have the right
of entry at any time and may perform any acts related to safety, protection,
preservation or improvement of the Building or the Premises. Except for
repair of casualty damage as provided in Section 7.2, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent because of work performed
within the Building or Premises by Landlord.
5.3 MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall maintain all public or
common areas located in the Building.
5.4 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant shall make no changes, additions,
alterations or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent
of Landlord and subject to all
rules, requirements and conditions imposed by Xxxxxxxx at the time such
consent is given. Landlord shall have the right to withhold its consent and
condition the same upon provision by Tenant of adequate security.
5.5 ALTERATIONS BY LANDLORD. Landlord may make repairs, changes or
additions to the structure, systems, facilities and equipment in the Premises
where necessary to serve the Premises or the Building. Landlord may also
make changes, alterations or additions to any part of the Building not
forming part of the Premises and change the location of public areas of the
Building.
5.6 LIENS. If, because of any act or omission of Tenant or any person
claiming by, through, or under Tenant, any mechanic's lien or other lien
shall be filed against the Premises or the Building or against other property
of Landlord (whether or not such lien is valid or enforceable as such),
Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause the same to be discharged of record
within thirty-five (35) days after the date of filing thereof, and shall also
indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from any and all claims, losses,
damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys'
fees, resulting therefrom or by reason thereof. Landlord may, but shall not
be obligated to, pay or post security for the claim upon which such lien is
based so as to have such lien released of record; and, if Landlord does so,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, upon demand, the
amount of such claim or security, plus all other costs and expenses incurred
in connection therewith, plus interest thereon at the rate of the lesser of
fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the highest lawful rate under applicable
law until paid.
5.7 SIGNS. Tenant shall not inscribe any inscription or post, place or
in any manner display any sign, notice, picture, placard, poster or
advertising matter anywhere in or about the Building or Premises at places

consent. Upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
remove all such signs or advertising consented to by Landlord and shall
repair any damage caused by such removal. (EXTERIOR SIGNAGE - SEE ADDENDUM)
6. INSURANCE, INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION.
6.1 INSURANCE BY LANDLORD. Landlord may maintain insurance for those
perils and in amounts which would be considered prudent for similar income
type property situated in the general area of the Building or which is
required by any mortgagee or creditor of Landlord.
6.2 INSURANCE BY TENANT.
6.2.1 TENANT'S LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall at all times
during the term hereof and at its cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of
Landlord and Tenant, purchase and maintain with an insurance company,
comprehensive general liability insurance coverage in an adequate amount, as
determined by Landlord's insurance broker or adviser, but not less than One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit of coverage for
personal injury, death and property damage. The insurance carrier shall be
satisfactory to Owner and licensed in the state in which the Premises are
located. The insurance carrier shall at all times during the term of this
Lease have a policyholder's rating of not less than "A+/7" in the most
current edition of Best's Insurance Reports. The comprehensive general
liability policy shall also include contractual coverage of Tenant's
obligations under Section 6.4 below. In no event shall the limits of such
policy be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord with evidence of such insurance prior to
occupancy evidencing the obligation of the insurer to provide Landlord with
not less than thirty (30) days written notice prior to any reduction or
cancellation of such insurance. Any insurance required of Tenant under this
Lease may be furnished by Tenant under a blanket policy carried by it. Such
blanket policy shall contain an endorsement that names Owner as an additional
insured, references the Premises, and guarantees a minimum limit available
for the Premises equal to the insurance amounts required in this Lease. Each
policy evidencing the insurance to be carried by Tenant under this Lease
shall contain a clause that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby
shall be primary with respect to any policies carried by Owner, and that any
coverage carried by Owner shall be excess insurance.
6.2.2 TENANT'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall at its own expense
maintain in full force and effect on all of its inventory, furnishings,
fixtures and equipment in the Premises, a policy or policies of fire and
extended coverage insurance with vandalism and malicious mischief
endorsements to the extent of at least eighty percent (80%) of their
insurable actual cash value, providing that deductible amounts under such
policy or policies of insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement
of the fixtures and equipment so insured. Landlord will sign all documents
necessary or proper in connection with the settlement of any claims or loss
by Xxxxxx. Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant's possessions, nor on
any leasehold improvements made by Tenant.
6.2.3 CONAMING OF LANDLORD AND LANDLORD'S MANAGING AGENT. The
insurance policy or policies for the insurance required in Sections 6.2.1 and
6.2.2 above shall name Landlord and Landlord's Managing Agent as additional
insureds and shall provide that they may not be cancelled on less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Xxxxxxxx's Managing Agent.
Tenant shall furnish Landlord and Xxxxxxxx's Managing Agent with Evidence of
Insurance evidencing all required coverage. Should Tenant fail to carry such
insurance and furnish Landlord and Landlord's Managing Agent with such
evidence of such insurance after a request to do so, Landlord and Landlord's
Managing Agent shall have the right to obtain such insurance and collect the
cost thereof from Tenant as additional rent plus
interest thereon at the rate of the lesser of 15% per annum or the highest
lawful rate under applicable law from the due date until paid.
6.3 INSURANCE RATING. Tenant will not conduct or permit to be conducted
any activity, or place any equipment in or about the Premises, which will, in
any way, increase the rate of fire insurance or other insurance on the
Building; and if any increase in the rate of fire insurance or other
insurance is stated by any insurance company or by the applicable Insurance
Rating Bureau to be due to activity or equipment in or about the Premises,
such statement shall be conclusive evidence that the increase in such rate is
due to such activity or equipment and as a result thereof, Tenant shall be
liable for such increase and shall reimburse Landlord therefor.
6.4 INDEMNITY. Tenant will indemnify and save Landlord harmless from
and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in
connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property
arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises, or the
occupancy or use by Tenant of the Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned
wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors,
employees, servants, lessees or concessionaires, clients or customers. In
case Landlord shall, without material fault on his part, be made a party to
any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, Tenant shall protect and hold
Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's
fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation.
6.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive, to the
extent of net proceeds collected under insurance policies, any rights each
may have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to
Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, their respective property, or the
Building.
7. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
7.1 DAMAGE CAUSED BY TENANT. In event of damage to the Premises or the
Building by fire or other causes resulting from fault or negligence of
Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, such damage shall be promptly
reported to Landlord and shall be repaired by and at expense of Tenant under
direction and supervision of Landlord. There shall be no abatement of rent
during the period of repair.
7.2 DAMAGE NOT CAUSED BY TENANT. In the event the Building or the
Premises shall be destroyed or rendered untenantable, either in whole or in
part, by fire or other casualty not resulting from the fault or negligence of
Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, Landlord may, at its option,
restore the Building or Premises to as near their previous condition as is
reasonably possible, and in the meantime the rent shall be abated in the same
proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole
thereof; but unless Landlord, within sixty days after the happening of any
such casualty, shall notify Tenant of its election to so restore, this Lease
shall thereupon terminate and Tenant shall vacate the Premises. Such
restoration by Landlord shall not include replacement of furniture, equipment
or other items that do not become part of the Building or any improvements to
the Premises in excess of those provided for in the allowance for building
standard items as of the Commencement Date of this Lease. Restoration of the
Premises required beyond Landlord's obligation shall be performed by the
Tenant at no cost to the Landlord.
7.3 DELAY BEYOND LANDLORD'S CONTROL. Landlord shall not be penalized
for any delay in commencing or completing repairs caused by adjustment of
insurance claims, governmental requirements or any cause beyond landlord's
reasonable control.
8. CONDEMNATION.
8.1 CONDEMNATION; AWARD; TERMINATION. If the Building or Premises shall
be taken or condemned for any public purpose, or for any reason whatsoever,
to such an extent as to render either or both untenantable, either Landlord
or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the
date of taking or condemnation. If the taking or condemnation does not
render the Building and the Premises untenantable, this Lease shall continue
in effect and Landlord shall promptly restore the portion not taken to the
extent possible to the condition existing prior to the taking, but in no
event shall Landlord be required to expend any amounts in excess of the net
condemnation proceeds received by Landlord. If, as a result of such
restoration, the area of the Premises is reduced, the rent shall be reduced
proportionately. All proceeds from any taking or condemnation shall be paid
to Landlord. Tenant waives all claims against such proceeds. A voluntary
sale or conveyance in lieu of but under the threat of condemnation shall be
considered a taking or condemnation
for public purpose.

Landlord in substantially the condition in which Tenant is required to

Any unattached movable furniture, furnishings or equipment not removed by
the Tenant prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease shall become,
at Landlord's option, the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with
the Premises as a part thereof. Upon expiration or other termination of this
Lease, Tenant (i) shall remove only such alterations, additions and
improvements (including telephone cable) as Landlord requests in writing;
(ii) shall, except for these alterations, additions and improvements not
required to be removed, restore the Premises to the same condition existing
upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease, reasonable wear (but
not soil and grime) excepted; and (iii) shall surrender to Landlord, at the
place then fixed for payment of rent, all keys for the Premises and shall
inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes, and vaults, if any, in

expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time
reenter by any applicable legal process or otherwise in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease. Any holding over shall be with Xxxxxxxx's consent
and Tenant shall be a month-to-month Tenant and subject to all laws of the
state in which the Building is situated and to the terms and conditions of
this Lease, so far as applicable. The rent to be paid Landlord by Tenant
during such continued occupancy shall be for each month of continued
occupancy, an amount equal to one and one-<#>half QUARTER times the rent
that would otherwise be owed hereunder for the month the Lease expires or is
terminated. No receipt of money by Xxxxxxxx from Tenant after expiration
or termination of this Lease shall reinstate or extend this Lease or affect
any prior notice given by Landlord to Tenant. If Xxxxxx fails to surrender
the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease, despite demand to do so by
Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or
liability, including without limitation, any claim made by any succeeding
tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.
11. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
11.1 DEFAULTS BY TENANT. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall be a default under and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
11.1.1 FAILURE TO PAY RENT. Tenant shall fail to make any
required payment of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent or other charges within
ten (10) days after the same shall be due and payable, or any other amounts
due Landlord from Tenant including any amounts owed by Tenant for Building
Non-Standard Work within thirty (30) days after the same shall be due and
payable.
11.1.2 FAILURE TO PERFORM. Tenant shall fail to perform or
observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed
or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after
notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition,
covenant or obligation to be performed by Tenant is of such nature that the
same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty day period, such
failure shall not constitute a default if Tenant commences such performance
within said thirty-day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to
complete the same and does so complete the required action within a
reasonable time but in any case not longer than sixty (60) days.
11.1.3 VACATION; ABANDONMENT; FAILURE TO OCCUPY. Tenant shall
vacate or abandon the Premises for any period, or fail to occupy for a period
of thirty (30) days the Premises or any substantial portion thereof.
11.1.4 TRUSTEESHIP; ASSIGNMENT; ATTACHMENT. A trustee or
receiver shall be appointed to take possession of substantially all of
Tenant's assets in, on or about the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease (and Xxxxxx does not regain possession within sixty (60) days after
such appointment); Xxxxxx makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or substantially all of Tenant's assets in, on or about the
Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease are attached or levied under
execution (and Xxxxxx does not discharge the same within thirty (30) days
thereafter).

reorganization or arrangement is filed by or against Tenant pursuant to any
federal or state statute (and, with
respect to any such petition filed against it, Xxxxxx fails to secure a stay
or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days after the filing of the same).
11.2 REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. Upon the occurrence of any event of default
set forth in Section 11.1, Landlord shall have the following rights and
remedies, in addition to those provided by law, any one or more of which may
be exercised without further notice to or demand upon Tenant:
11.2.1 CURE. Landlord may apply the Security Deposit or re-enter
the Premises and cure any default of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for any costs and expenses which
Landlord may incur to cure such default; and Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage which Tenant may sustain by reason of
Landlord's action, regardless of whether caused by Xxxxxxxx's negligence or
otherwise.
11.2.2 TERMINATION; RE-LET. Landlord shall have the right, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, to re-enter the
Premises peaceably or by force, with or without process of law, and to take
possession thereof and to terminate this Lease. No such termination of this
Lease nor recovering possession of the Premises, however, shall deprive
Landlord of any action or remedy against Tenant for possession, rent (accrued
or to accrue) or damages, nor constitute a waiver of any lien of Landlord on
the property of Tenant and Landlord may to the extent permitted by law (but
shall not be obligated to) re-let the Premises in whole or in part for the
unexpired portion of the Lease term and Tenant shall be obligated to
reimburse Landlord for all of its expenses in connection with such retaking
and re-letting, including any loss of rental which might result. Landlord
shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the
Premises, or in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect
the rent under such reletting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to
receive the excess, if any, of such net rent collected over the sums payable
by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant
waives any notice to quit or other provision of applicable law requiring
notice or delay in an action to evict or dispossess Tenant, and all rights of
redemption under any law in the event Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for
any cause.
11.2.3 ACCELERATION. Landlord reserves the right to accelerate
the whole or any part of the rent for the entire unexpired balance of the
term of this Lease, as well as all other charges and expenses herein agreed
to be paid by Xxxxxx. Such rent charges and expenses if so accelerated
shall, in addition to any and all installments of rent already due and
payable and in arrears, be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and
provision of this Lease, such accelerated rent and other charges and expenses
were on that date payable in advance.
11.2.4 SUIT. Landlord may sue for specific performance,
injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from the
breach.
11.2.5 INTEREST ON UNPAID RENT. Interest on unpaid rent shall be
charged as specified in Section 2.1.2.
11.3 DEFAULT BY XXXXXXXX AND REMEDIES OF TENANT. It shall be a default
under and breach of this Lease by Landlord if it shall fail to perform or
observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed
or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after
notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the term, condition,
covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is of such nature that the
same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty-day period, such
occurrence shall not constitute a default if Landlord commences such
performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
undertakes to complete the same. Upon the occurrence of any such default,
Tenant may sue for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss
resulting from the breach, but Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this
Lease or withhold or xxxxx any rent due hereunder.
11.4 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. If Landlord shall fail to
perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be
performed or observed by it under this Lease after notice thereof and an
opportunity to cure as provided in Section 11.3, and if Tenant shall, as a
consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, Xxxxxx agrees
that it shall look solely to Landlord's right, title and interest in and to
the Building for the collection of such judgment; and Xxxxxx further agrees
that no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other
process for the satisfaction of Xxxxxx's judgment and that Landlord (and its
partners, if any) shall not be personally liable for any deficiency.
11.4.1 LANDLORD DEFINED. The references to "Landlord" in this
Lease shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the
time, of the fee simple interest in the Building. In the event of a sale or
transfer of such interest (except a mortgage or other transfer as security
for a debt), the "Landlord" named herein, or, in the case of a subsequent
transfer, the transferor, shall, after the date of such transfer, be
automatically released from all personal liability for the performance or
observance of any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be
performed or observed by Landlord hereunder; and the transferee shall be
deemed to have assumed all of such terms, conditions, covenants and
obligations.
11.5 NON-WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. The failure or delay by either party hereto
to exercise or enforce at any time any of the rights or remedies or other
provisions of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor
affect the validity of any part of this Lease or the right of either party
thereafter to exercise or enforce each and every such right or remedy or
other
provision. No waiver of any default and breach of the Lease shall be deemed
to be a waiver of any other default and breach. The receipt by Landlord of
less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment
on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant's check or any
letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and
Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to
recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided
in this Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents
during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of
the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid
unless in writing and signed by Xxxxxxxx.
12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
12.1 WAIVER. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance
of any of the covenants and agreements of this Lease, or to exercise any
option herein conferred in any one or more instances, shall not be considered
to be a waiver or relinquishment of such performance by Tenant or right of
Landlord, and all covenants, agreements and options shall remain in full
force and effect.
12.2 CONSENT NOT UNREASONABLY WITHHELD. Unless otherwise specifically
provided, whenever consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant is required
under the terms of this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant's sole remedy, if Landlord
unreasonably withholds or delays consent or approval, shall be an action for
specific performance and Landlord shall not be liable for damages. If either
party withholds any consent or approval, such party shall on written request
deliver to the other party a written statement giving the reasons therefor.
12.3 ATTORNEYS FEES. All costs and expenses, including attorneys fees in
a reasonable amount, incurred by Landlord or Tenant in enforcing the
obligations of either under this Lease, shall be paid by the defaulting party
to the prevailing party upon demand, once a default is determined to have
occurred, whether by judgment or otherwise.
12.4 DESIGNATED PARTIES. Landlord may act in any matter provided for
herein through its property manager or any other person who shall from time
to time be designated by Landlord by notice to Tenant. Tenant may designate
in writing a person to act on its behalf in any matter provided for herein
and may, by written notice, change such designation. In the absence of such
designation, the person or persons executing this Lease for Tenant shall be
deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of Tenant in any matter provided for
herein.
12.5 SUCCESSORS. All covenants, agreements, terms and conditions
contained in this Lease shall apply to and be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Landlord and Xxxxxx and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns. If there is more
than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint
and several. No rights, however, shall inure to the benefit of any assignee
or subtenant of Tenant unless Landlord has given its consent to the
assignment or sublease in accordance with Section 4.
12.6 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Nothing contained in this Lease shall
create any relationship between the Landlord and Tenant other than that of
Landlord and Tenant, and it is acknowledged and agreed that Landlord does not
in any way or for any purpose become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of
Xxxxxx's business, or a joint venturer or a member of a joint or common
enterprise with Tenant.
12.7 SEVERABILITY. If any clause or provision of this Lease is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future law effective
during the term of this Lease, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected thereby. In lieu of such clause or provision held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable there shall be added, as a part of this Lease, a
clause or provision as similar in terms as possible which shall be legal,
valid and enforceable.
12.8 GENDER. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and
construed to include any other gender and words in the singular number shall
be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.
12.9 BUILDING NAME. Landlord reserves the right at any time and from
time to time to change the name, number or designation by which the Building
is commonly known.

liability for commission or other compensation or charges claimed by or
awarded to any broker or agent with respect to this Lease.

thereto, truck-ways, pedestrian sidewalks and ramps, landscaped areas and
other areas and improvements located on the Premises are provided for the
general non-exclusive use, in common, of Tenant, Landlord and all other

management by Landlord, and Xxxxxx agrees to abide by any rules and
regulations with respect thereto and to use its best efforts to cause its
employees, guests and invitees to do the same. Without limitation on
Landlord's general right to promulgate any such rules and regulations,

repair such damage.
5. HEAVY ARTICLES. No safe or article, the weight of which may, in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord, constitute a hazard to or damage the

the Building only during such hours and in such manner as shall be
prescribed by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to designate the
location of such articles in the Premises.
6. NUISANCE. Tenant shall not use, allow, or permit the Premises to be used
for any improper or objectionable purposes. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in the Premises, or bring or keep anything therein

injure or annoy them, or conflict with the laws relating to fire, or with
any regulations of the fire department, or with any insurance policy upon
the Building or any part thereof, or conflict with any law, rule,
regulation, requirement, or ordinances of any governmental authority having

duplicate key made. At the termination of this tenancy Tenant shall
promptly return to Landlord all keys to offices and toilet rooms.

which are the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease. An exception to
this provision shall be made for normal picture hanging.

food and beverages within the Building, or to use the elevators or public

amount of directory space utilized by any tenant.

only upon application in writing at the office of the Building. Employees

B. Mortgagee has agreed to make or has made a mortgage loan in the amount
of $24,950,000.00 to Landlord, secured by a mortgage or the Real Property (the
"Mortgage"), and the parties desire to set forth their agreement herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:
1. The Lease and all extensions, renewals, replacements or
modifications thereof are and shall be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage
and all terms and conditions thereof insofar as it affects the Real Property of
which the Premises form a part, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, to the full extent of
amounts secured thereby and interest thereon.
2. Tenant shall attorn to and recognize any purchaser at a
foreclosure sale under the Mortgage, any transferee who acquires the Premises by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, and the successors and assigns of such
purchaser(s), as its landlord for the unexpired balance (and any extensions, if
exercised) of the term of the Lease on the same terms and conditions set forth
in the Lease.
3. If it becomes necessary to foreclose the Mortgage, Mortgagee
shall neither terminate the Lease nor join Tenant in summary or foreclosure
proceedings so long as tenant is not in default under any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions of the Lease.
4. If Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the
Lease, Mortgagee shall not be:
a. liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord
(including Landlord);
b. liable for the return of any security deposit unless such
deposit has been delivered to Mortgagee by Landlord or is an escrow fund
available to Mortgagee;
c. subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have
against any prior landlord (including Landlord);
d. bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant might have
paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord);
e. bound by any amendment, modification, or termination of the
Lease made without Mortgagee's consent;
x. personally liable under the Lease, Mortgagee's liability
thereunder being limited to its interest in the Real Property; or
g. bound by any notice of termination given by Landlord to
Tenant without Mortgagee's prior written consent thereto.
5. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
6. Tenant shall give Mortgagee, by certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by commercial overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of
default served on Landlord, at Mortgagee's address set forth above or at such
other address as to which Xxxxxx has been notified in writing. If Landlord
shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in the
Lease, then Mortgagee shall have an additional ten (10) days within which to
cure any default capable of being cured by the payment of money and an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure any other default or if such
default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be
necessary to cure such default shall be granted if within such thirty (30) days
Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to
cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure
proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which even the Lease shall
not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.
7. Landlord has agreed under the Mortgage and other loan documents
that rentals payable under the Lease shall be paid directly by Tenant to
Mortgagee upon default by Landlord under the Mortgage. After receipt of notice
from Mortgagee to Tenant, at the address set forth above or at such other
address as to which Mortgagee has been notified in writing, that rentals under
the lease should be paid to Mortgagee, Tenant shall pay to Mortgagee, or at the
direction of Mortgagee, all monies due or to become due to Landlord under the
Lease. Tenant shall have no responsibility to ascertain whether such demand by
Mortgagee is permitted under the Mortgage, or to inquire into the existence of a
default. Landlord hereby waives any right, claim, or demand it may now or
hereafter have against Tenant by reason of such payment to Mortgagee, and any
such payment shall discharge the obligations of Tenant to make such payment to
Landlord.
8. Xxxxxx declares, agrees and acknowledges that Mortgagee, in
making disbursements pursuant to any agreement relating to the Loan, is under no
obligation or duty to, nor has Mortgagee represented that it will, see to the
application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Mortgagee
disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for
purposes other than those provided for in such agreement shall not defeat the
subordination herein made in whole or in part.
