EXHIBIT 10.9
ADDENDUM OF Lease between X.X. Xxxx & Notify Corporation
--------------------------------------------------------
The following are extensions to Paragraph
4.2 Operating Expense Increases
Lessee is only responsible for an annual operating expense increase of up
to 10% of that portion of Lessee's rent which is attributable to operating
expense. Therefore, for the first 12 months of the Lease term, Lessee's
responsibility is capped at $7196 x 12 = $86,352.00 x 10% = $8635.20; for
the second 12 months, at $8023.54 x 12 = $96,282.48 x 10% = $9,628.25
maximum.
9.3 If the Lessee is not able to occupy a reasonable portion of the premise due
to damage, the Lessee shall have the option to terminate the Lease.

Project.
-4-
(b) "BASE YEAR" is defined as the calendar year in which the

the first and last Comparison Years of the Lease Term shall be prorated
according to that portion of such Comparison Year as to which Lessee is
responsible for a share of such increase.

Lease, to include all costs, if any, incurred by Lessor in the exercise of its

as above provided.
(f) Operating Expenses shall not include any expenses paid
by any lessee directly to third parties, or as to which Lessor is otherwise

(g) Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be

actual expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's option, however,
an amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time in advance of Lessee's
Share of the Operating Expense Increase for any Comparison Year, and the same
shall be payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each
Comparison Year of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due
hereunder. In the event that Lessee pays Lessor's estimate of Lessee's Share of
Operating Expense Increase as aforesaid, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within
sixty (60) days after the expiration of each Comparison Year a reasonably
detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of the actual Operating Expense
Increase incurred during such year. If Lessee's payments under the paragraph
4.2(g) during said Comparison Year exceed Lessee's Share as indicated on said
statement, Lessee shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment
against Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase next falling due. If
Lessee's payments under this paragraph during said Comparison Year were less
than Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days after delivery by Lessor to
Lessee of said statement. Lessor and Lessee shall forthwith adjust between them
by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to that portion of
the last Comparison Year for which Lessee is responsible as to Operating Expense
Increases, notwithstanding that the Lease term may have terminated before the
end of such Comparison Year.
-6-
4.3 Rent Increase:
-------------
4.3.1 At the times set forth in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic
Lease Provisions, the monthly Base Rent payable under paragraph 4.1 of this
Lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor for All Urban
Consumers, (1967=100). "All Items," for the city nearest the location of the
Building, herein referred to as "C.P.I." since the date of this Lease.
4.3.2 The monthly Base Rent payable pursuant to paragraph
4.3.1 shall be calculated as follows: the Base Rent payable for the first month
of the term of this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 4.1 of this Lease, shall be
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the
calendar month during which the adjustment is to take effect, and the
denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in which the
original Lease term commences. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new
monthly Base Rent hereunder, but, in no event, shall such new monthly Base Rent
be less than the Base Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the date
for the rent adjustment.
4.3.3 In the event the compilation and/or publication of the
C.P.I. shall be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or
agency or shall be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the
C.P.I. shall be used to make such calculations. In the event that Lessor and
Lessee cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be
submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in the County in
which the Premises are located, in accordance with the then rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the
parties, notwithstanding one party failing to appear after due notice of the
proceeding. The cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and
Lessee.
4.3.4 Lessee shall continue to pay the rent at the rate
previously in effect until the increase, if any, is determined. Within five (5)
days following the date on which the increase is determined, Lessee shall make
such payment to Lessor as will bring the increased rental current, commencing
with the effective date of such increase through the date of any rental
installments then due. Thereafter the rental shall be paid at the increased
rate.
4.3.5 At such time as the amount of any change in rental
required by this Lease is known or determined, Lessor and Lessee shall execute
an amendment to this Lease setting forth such change.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT: Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution
----------------
hereof the security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease
Provisions as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations
hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or
otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use,
apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent
or other charge in default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may
become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any
loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all
or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor
-7-
in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount then required
of Lessee. If the monthly Base Rent shall, from time to time, increase during
the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the time of such increase, deposit with
Lessor additional money, as a security deposit so that the total amount of the
security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the same proportion to
the then current Base Rent as the initial security deposit bears to the initial
Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Lessor shall
not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general
accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, said
deposit, on so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by Lessor, shall
be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to
Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's
interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has
vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and
Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.
6. USE
---
6.1 Use: The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the
---
purpose set forth in paragraph 1.4 of the Basic Lease Provisions or any other
use which is reasonably comparable to that use and for not other purpose.
6.2 Compliance with Law:
-------------------
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the
state existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to
alterations or improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will
occupy the Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record,
or any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease
term Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has
been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written
notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any
such violation.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements of any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect
or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in
policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof,
relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Less of the
Premises. Lessee shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use
or permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will
tend to create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of
the Office Building Project.
6.3 Condition of Premises:
---------------------
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in a clean
condition on the Lease Commencement Date (unless Lessee is already in
possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air
conditioning and heating system in the Premises shall be in good operating
condition. In the event that it is determined that this warranty has been
violated, then it shall be the
-8-
obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth
with specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole
cost, rectify such violation.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee
hereby accepts the Premises and the Office Building Project in their condition
existing as of the Lease Commencement Date or the date that Lessee takes
possession of the Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable
zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants or
restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all
matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee
acknowledges that it has satisfied itself by its own independent investigation
that the Premises are suitable for its intended use, and that neither Lessor nor
Lessor's agent or agents has made any representation or warranty as to the
present or future suitability of the Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building
Project for the conduct of Lessee's business.
7. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND COMMON AREAS SERVICES
-----------------------------------------------------------
7.1 Lessor's Obligations: Lessor shall keep the Office Building
--------------------
Project, including the Premises, interior and exterior walls, roof and common
areas, and the equipment whether used exclusively for the Premises or in common
with other premises in good condition and repair; provided, however, Lessor
shall not be obligated to paint, repair or replace wall coverings, or to repair
or replace any improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or
are above then Building standards. Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there
shall be no abatement of rent or liability of Lessee on account of any injury or
interference with Lessee's business with respect to any improvements,
alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part
thereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in
effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's
expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the
Premises in good order, condition and repair.
7.2 Lessee's Obligations:
--------------------
(a) Notwithstanding Lessor's obligations to keep the
Premises in good condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment
of the cost thereof to Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of
any maintenance and repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located)
that serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable
to causes beyond normal wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost
of painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to repair or replace any
Premises improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are
above then Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable
notice, elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs
the cost of which is otherwise Lessee's responsibility hereunder.
(b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Any
damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and
tear if the same could have been prevent by good maintenance practices by
Lessee. Lessee shall
-9-
repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of
Lessee's trade fixtures, alterations, furnishing and equipment. Except as
otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air conditioning, window
coverings, wall coverings, carpets, wall paneling, ceiling and plumbing on the
Premises and in good operating condition.
7.3 Alterations and Additions:
-------------------------
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent
make any alterations, improvements, additions, Utility Installation or repairs
in, on or about the Premises, or the Office Building Project. As used in this
paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window and
wall coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, air conditioning, plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring
and equipment. At the expiration of the term, Lessor may require the removal of
any or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations, and the restoration of the Premises and the Office Building
Project to their prior condition, at Lessee's expense. Should Lessor permit
Lessee to make its own alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations, Lessee shall use only such contractor as has been expressly
approved by Lessor, and Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee'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 Lessor against
any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of
the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, or use a contractor not
expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor may, at any time during the term of this
Lease, require that Lessee remove any part or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project that
Lessee shall desire to make shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with
proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent to Lessee's making
such alteration, improvement, addition or Utility Installation, the consent
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the
applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to
the commencement of the work, and compliance by Lessee with all conditions of
said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, or any interest therein.
(d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days'
notice prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Lessee, and
Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the
Premises or the Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith,
contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall at its
sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy
any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement
thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require. Lessee shall furnish
to Lessor a
-10-
surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien
claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding
the Premises, the Building and the Office Building Project free from the effect
of such lien or claim. If addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to Lessor's best interest to do so.
(e) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but
not limited to, floor coverings, panelings, doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings,
sound alteration and lighting and telephone or communications systems, conduit,
wiring and outlets, shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner and
of good and sufficient quality and materials and shall be the property of Lessor
and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the
Lease term, unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a).
Provided Lessee is not in default, notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph 7.3(e), Lessee's personal property and equipment, other than that
which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material
damage to the Premises or the Building, and other than Utility Installations,
shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the
provisions of paragraph 7.2.
(f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and
specifications for any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations.
7.4 Utility Additions: Lessor reserves the right to install new or
-----------------
additional utility facilities throughout the Office Building Project for the
benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Office Building Project,
including, but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical
systems, communication systems and fire protection and detection systems, so
long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use of
the Premises.

----------------------------
expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of
Comprehensive General Liability insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office
standard form with Broad Form General Liability Endorsement (GL0404), or
equivalent, in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence of bodily
injury and property damage combined or in a greater amount as reasonably
determined by Lessor and shall insure Lessee with Lessor as an additional
insured against liability arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of

----------------------------
force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily
Injury and Broad Form Property Damage Insurance, plus coverage against such
other risks Lessor deems advisable from time to time, insuring Lessor, but not

maintenance of the Office Building Project in an amount not less than
$5,000,000.00 per occurrence.
-11-
8.3 Property Insurance - Lessee: Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense,
---------------------------
obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease for the benefit of
Lessee, replacement cost fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism

endorsements, in an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full
replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all of Lessee's
personal property, fixtures, equipment and tenant improvements.
8.4 Property Insurance - Lessor: Lessor shall obtain and keep in
---------------------------
force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering
loss of damage to the Office Building Project improvements, but not Lessee's

the full replacement cost thereof, as the same may exist from time to time,
utilizing Insurance Services Office standard form, or equivalent, providing
protection against all perils included within the classification of fire,
extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, plate glass, and such other
perils as Lessor deems advisable or may be required by a lender having a lien on
the Office Building Project. In addition, Lessor shall obtain and keep in force,
during the term of this Lease, a policy of rental value insurance covering a
period of one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also
cover all Operating Expenses for said period. Lessee will not be named in any
such policies carried by Lessor and shall have no right to any proceeds
therefrom. The policies required by these paragraphs 8.2 and 8.4 shall contain
such deductibles as Lessor or the aforesaid lender may determine. In the event
that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as defined in paragraph 9.1(f)
hereof, the deductible amounts under the applicable insurance policies shall be
deemed an Operating Expense. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything
which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Lessor. Lessee shall
pay the entirety of any increase in the property insurance premium for the
Office Building Project over what it was immediately prior to the commencement
of the term of this Lease, if the increase is specified by Lessor's insurance
carrier as being caused by the nature of Lessee's occupancy or any act or
omission of Lessee.
8.5 Insurance Policies: Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of
------------------
liability insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days
after the Commencement Date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancelable
or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals
thereof.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation: Lessee and Lessor each hereby release
---------------------
and relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the
other, for direct or consequential loss or damage arising out of or incident to
the perils covered by property insurance carried by such party, whether due to
the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors
and/or invitees. If necessary all property insurance policies required under
this Lease shall be endorsed to so provide.
8.7 Indemnity: Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and
---------
its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and lenders, from and
against any and all claims for damage to the person or property of anyone or any
entity arising from Lessee's use of the Office Building Project, or from the
conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done,
permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor
-12-
from and against any and all claims costs and expenses arising from any breach
or default in the performance of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed
under the terms of this Lease or arising from any act or omission of Lessee or
any of Lessee's agents, contractors, employees or invitees and from and against
all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by Lessor as the
result of any such use, conduct, activity, work, things done, permitted or
suffered, breach, default or negligence, and in dealing reasonably therewith,
including but not limited to the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action
of proceeding involved therein; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessor by reason of such matter. Lessee upon notice form Lessor shall
defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense, Lessor need not have
first paid any such claim in order to be so indemnified. Lessee, as a material
part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property of Lessee or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Office Building
Project arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect
thereof against Lessor. Broker shall not be obligated to perform, or discharge,
(nor) does Broker hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty
or liability under this Lease or under or by reason of any assignment and Lessor
shall, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and deferred Broker for, and
to hold Broker harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or
might be incurred under this Lease or under or by reason of any provision herein
and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against
Broker by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to
perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in this
Lease. Should Broker incur any such liability under this Lease or in defense of
any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees shall be secured hereby, and Landlord shall reimburse Broker
therefor immediately upon demand; and, upon the failure of Lessor to do so,
Broker may, at its option, declare all sums secured hereby as evidenced by the
Listing Agreement, immediately due and payable.
8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability: Lessee hereby agrees that
----------------------------------
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for loss of or damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person
in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project, nor shall Lessor be
liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or
contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from theft,
fire, stream, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing,
air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said
damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the Office Building Project, or from other sources or places, or
from new construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of
the Office Building Project, or of the equipment, fixtures or appurtenances
applicable thereto, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible, Lessor shall not be liable
for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or
user of the Office Building Project, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce
the provisions of any other lease of any other lessee of the Office Building
Project.

reasonably possible and to the extent the required materials and labor are
readily available through usual commercial channels, at Lessor's expense, repair
such damage (but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements
originally paid for by Lessee) to its condition existing at the time of the
damage, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

at Lessee's expense), which damage prevents Lessee from making any substantial
use of the Premises, Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i) repair such damage
as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease

occurrence of such damage, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of the occurrence of such damage.

of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of
Lessor's election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of recurrence
of such damage.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that
Lessee has an option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which
said option may be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such
option, if it is to be exercised at all, no later than twenty (20) days after
the occurrence of an Insured Loss falling within the classification of Premises
Damage during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease. If Lessee

Lessor's expense, repair such damage, but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or
tenant improvements, as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall

and cancel this Lease as of the expiration of said twenty (20) day period by
giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10)
days after the expiration of said twenty (20) day period, notwithstanding any

-15-
due to loss of access or essential services), the rent payable hereunder
(including Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase) for the period during
which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated, provided (1)
the damage was not the result of the negligence of Lessee, and (2) such
abatement shall only be to the extent the operation and profitability of
Lessee's business as operated from the Premises is adversely affected. Except
for said abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor
for any damages suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or
restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises or the Building under the provisions of this paragraph 9 and shall not
commence such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such
occurrence, or if Lessor shall not complete the restoration and repair within
six (6) months after such occurrence, Lessee may at Lessee's option cancel and
terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee's election to do
so at any time prior to the commencement or completion, respectively, or such
repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the date

Office Building Project by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive
enjoyment of any work sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed
upon the Office Building Project by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive
enjoyment of any other lessee. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time
that Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the entirety of any
increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional
improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
-16-

including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school,
agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement district
thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Office
Building Project or in any portion thereof, as against Lessor's right to rent or
other income therefrom, and as against Lessor's business of leasing the Office
Building Project. The term "real property tax" shall also include any tax, fee,
levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of, partially or totally, any
tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove included within the definition
of "real property tax," or (ii) the nature of which was hereinbefore included
within the definition of "real property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a
service or right not charged prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged,
has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a
change in ownership, as defined by applicable local statutes for property tax

any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.
10.4 Joint Assessment: If the improvements or property, the taxes
----------------
for which are to be paid separately by Lessee under paragraph 10.2 or 10.5 are
not separately assessed, Lessee's portion of that tax shall be equitably
determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's
work sheets or such other information (which may include the cost of
construction) as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

and/or fluorescent tubes and ballasts for standard overhead fixtures.
11.2 Services Provided by Lessee: Lessor shall pay for all water,
---------------------------
gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities and services specially or
exclusively supplied and/or metered
-17-
exclusively to the Premises or to Lessee, together with any taxes thereon. If
any such services are not separately metered to the Premises, Lessee shall pay
at Lessor's option, either Lessee's Share or a reasonable proportion to be
determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered with other premises in the
Building.

----------------------
utilities except by or through existing outlets and shall not install or use
machinery or equipment on or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting
or power, or suffer or permit any act that causes extra burden upon the
utilities or for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out of a breach of
this subparagraph by Lessee. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, install at
Lessee's expense supplemental equipment and/or separate metering applicable to
Lessee's excess usage or loading.
11.5 Interruptions: There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor

12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
-------------------------
12.1 Lessor's Consent Required: Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
-------------------------
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or part of lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1. "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall
include the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation,
more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or
(b) if Lessee is a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
profit and loss participation in such partnership.
12.2 Lessee Affiliate: Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
----------------
12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and (b) Lessor shall
be given written notice of such assignment and assumption. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of
-18-
this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting:
------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or
subletting shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the
primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder
including Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by lessee hereunder.
(b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
pending approval or disapproval of such assignment.
(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver
or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of
the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 of this Lease.
(d) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been
guaranteed by third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's
consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their
written consent to such sublease and the terms thereof.
(e) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for
the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible
therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) Lessor's written consent to any assignment or subletting
of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default
then exists under this Lease of the obligation to be performed by Lessee nor
shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as
may be otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.
(h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement
relied upon by Lessor in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was
materially false shall, at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null
and void.
12.4 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting:
--------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply
to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be
deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly
incorporated therein.
-19-
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore
or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and
apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this lease; provided, however, that
until a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of rents from a sublease, be
deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply
with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such sublease. Lessee
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a
written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in the performance of
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents due and to
become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such sublessee shall have the
right to rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor, and that such
sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to
inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or
claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against
said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective
unless and until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any
sublease, Lessee shall use only such form of sublessee as is satisfactory to
Lessor, and once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or
modified without Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublease shall, by reason
of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of
Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every
obligation herein to be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are
contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which
Lessor has expressly consented in writing.
(c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of
its obligations under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may request any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from
the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security
deposit paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of
Lessee under such sublease.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has
consented, Lessor agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to
the sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right of reimbursement and offset
from and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.
12.5 Lessor's Expenses: In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet
-----------------
the Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or
if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, including attorneys', architects', engineers' and other
consultants' fees.
-20-
12.6 Conditions to Consent: Lessor reserves the right to condition
---------------------
any approval to assign or sublet upon Lessor's determination that (a) the
proposed assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business on the Premises of a
quality substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general
character of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in
violation of any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the
proposed assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as Lessee
was expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such
assignment or subletting, whichever is greater.
13. DEFAULT; REMEDIES
-----------------
13.1 Default: The occurrence of any one or more of the following
-------
events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
Vacation of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a
continuous period of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid.
(b) The breach by Lessee of any of the covenants, conditions
or provisions of paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1 (assignment
or subletting), 13.1(a) (vacation or abandonment), 13.1(e) (insolvency), 13.1(f)
(false statement), 16(a) (estoppel certificate), 30(b) (subordination), 33
(auctions), or 41.1 (easements) all of which are hereby deemed to be material,
non-curable defaults without the necessity of any notice by Lessor to Lessee
thereof.
(c) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this subparagraph.
(d) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Lessee other than those referenced in subparagraphs (b) and (c), above, where
such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if
Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such
thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required
to be given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.
(e) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement of
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becoming a "debtor"
as defined in 11 U.S.C. (S)101 or any successive statute thereto (unless, in the
case of petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)
days, (iii) the possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or
(iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the
-21-
Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
discharged within thirty (30) days. in the event that any provisions of this
paragraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of
no force or effect.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement
given to Lessor by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of
Lessee's obligations hereunder, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies: In the event of any material default or breach of
--------
this Lease by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice
or demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy
which Lessor may have by reason of such default:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises
by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall
terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to
Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all
damages incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default including, but not
limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of
reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the
worth at the time of award by the courts having jurisdiction thereof of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing
commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired
term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or
abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of
Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
the rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.
13.3 Default by Lessor: Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
-----------------
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
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 Lessee in
writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges: Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
------------
Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense increase or
other sums due hereunder will cause
-22-
Lessor 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 Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Office
Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Operating
Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by
Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due,
then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that
such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor
will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. The parties hereby agree that
such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor
will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge
by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect
to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. CONDEMNATION: If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office
------------
Building Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the
threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called
"condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the
date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs;
provided that if so much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are
taken by such condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the
operation and profitability of Lessee's business conducted from the Premises,
Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30)
days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in
the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning
authority shall have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date
the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate
this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the
rent and Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the
proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor
area of the Premises. Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common
Areas usable by Lessee and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto
or by reason thereof. Lessee shall have the option in its sole discretion to
terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority,
by giving written notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days
after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises
or the Office Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of
the Premises or the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or
any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the
property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for
diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as
severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
separate award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable
personal property and unamortized tenant improvements that have been paid for by
Lessee. For that purpose the cost of such improvements shall be amortized over
the original term of this Lease excluding any options. In the event that this
Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the
extent of severance damages received by lessor in connection with such
condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation
except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning
authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages
required to complete such repair.

15. BROKER'S FEE
------------
(a) The brokers involved in this transaction are N/L as "listing
broker" and _________________________ as "cooperating broker," licensed real
estate broker(s). A "cooperating broker" is defined as any broker other than the
listing broker entitled to a share of any commission arising under the Lease.
Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay to said brokers
jointly, or in such separate shares as they may mutually designate in writing, a
fee as set forth in a separate agreement between Lessor and said (broker(s), or
in the event there is no separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s),

Lessor in this transaction.
(b) Lessee further agrees that (i) if Lessee exercises any Option,
as defined in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under
this Lease, or any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to
an Option granted to Lessee under this Lease, or (ii) if Lessee acquires any
rights to the Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are
substantially similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
granted to Lessee been exercised, or (iii) if Lessee remains in possession of
the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed
to exercise an Option, or (iv) if said broker(s) are 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 Lessor has an interest, or (v) if the Base
Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause
contained herein, then as to any of said transactions or rent increases, Lessor
shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said broker(s)
in effect at the time of execution of this Lease. Said fee shall be paid at the
time such increased rental is determined.
(c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor 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 Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether
such transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have
assumed Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Each listing and
cooperating broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this
paragraph 15 to the extent of their interest in any commission arising under
this Lease and may enforce that right directly against Lessor, provided,
however, that all brokers have a right to any part of such total commission
shall be a necessary party to any suit with respect thereto.
(d) Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that
neither has had an dealings with any person, firm broker or finder (other than
the person(s), if any, whose names are set forth in paragraph 15(a), above) in
connection with the negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby, and no other broker or other person, firm or
entity is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection with said
transaction and Lessee and Lessor do each hereby indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or liability for
compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder
or similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying party.
(e) Lessor hereby absolutely assigns, transfers, and sets over to
Broker, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in this Lease by and any
extension, modification, assignment or renewal thereof
-24-
together with all rents, income and profits arising from this Lease. This
Assignment is made for the purpose of securing the payment of the commission due
to Assignee as Broker. So long as there shall exist no default by the Lessor in
the payment of the principal sum, or interest and/or other indebtedness due to
Broker, Lessor shall have the right to collect at the time of, but not prior to,
the date provided for the payment thereof, all rents, income and profits arising
under this Lease or from the Premises. Upon or at any time after default in the
payment of the principal sum or interest or other indebtedness due, Broker,
without in any way waiving such default may, at its option, without notice and
without regard to the adequacy of security for said principal sum or interest
and/or other indebtedness due under the Listing Agreement, xxx for or otherwise
collect and receive all rents, income and profits of the Premises, including
those past due and unpaid, with full power to apply such rents, income and
profit to the payment of the principal sum or interest and/or other indebtedness
due, together with all costs and attorneys' fees.
(f) Upon payment in full of the principal sum, interest and
other indebtedness secured hereby, this Assignment shall become void and of no
effect. Lessor hereby authorizes and directs Tenant or any other or future
sublessee or assignee of Lessee upon receipt from Broker of written notice that
a default exists under this Assignment, to pay over to Broker all rents, income
and profits arising or accruing under this Lease or from the Premises and to
continue to do so until otherwise notified by Broker. Lessor and Lessee agree
that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon any such
default and delivery of such notice, Broker shall be immediately entitled to all
of said rents, income and profits.
(g) Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or
omitted by Broker pursuant to the powers and rights granted Broker hereunder
shall be deemed to be a waiver by Broker of its rights and remedies, and this
Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and
remedies possessed by Broker. The right of Broker to collect said principal sum,
interest and other indebtedness and to enforce any security therefor may be
exercised by Broker either prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any
action taken by it hereunder. This Assignment, together with the covenants and
warranties herein contained, shall inure to the benefits of Broker and any
subsequent transferee thereof, and shall be binding upon Lessor, Lessor's heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns and any subsequent owner of
the Premises.

by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Office Building Project or
of the business of Lessee.
-25-

be conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii)

17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY: The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
------------------
the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Office Building Project, and except as
expressly provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title
or interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then
the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided
that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.
The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject
as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.
18. SEVERABILITY: The invalidity of any provision of this lease as
------------
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS: Except as expressly herein
--------------------------------
provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the
maximum rate then allowable by law or judgment from the date due. Payment of
such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease;
provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on the charges incurred by
lessee nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence with respect to the
---------------
obligations to be performed under this Lease.
21. ADDITIONAL RENT: All necessary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under

---------------------------------------------
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter

parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated
in this
-26-
Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in
paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the
Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or
written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the conditions or
use by Lessee of the Premises or the Office Building Project and Lessee
acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational
Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the
compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the
term of this Lease.

-------
be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or
registered mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or

deemed given upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight hours
following deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either
party may by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes
except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall
constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required
or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted
to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.
24. WAIVERS: No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed
-------
a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.
25. RECORDING: Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
---------
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.
26. HOLDING OVER: If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
------------
of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof,
such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of
this lease pertaining to the obligations of lessee, except that the rent payable
shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rent payable immediately
preceding the termination date of this Lease, and all Options, if any, granted
under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no further
effect during said month to month tenancy.

-------------------
deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other
remedies at law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS: Each provision of this Lease performable by
------------------------
Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
-27-
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW: Subject to any provisions hereof
-----------------------------
restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of
paragraph 17, 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 Office Building Project is located and any litigation concerning this
Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the
Office Building Project is located.
30. SUBORDINATION
-------------
(a) This Lease, and any Option or right of first refusal granted
hereby, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security nor or hereafter placed
upon the Office Building Project and to any and all advances made on the
security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination,
Lessee's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if
Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the rent and observe
and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor
shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien
of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice
thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are
dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease or the date of recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein
prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case
may be. Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after
written demand shall constitute a material default by lessee hereunder without
further notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall execute such
documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby
make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and
in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with
hits paragraph 30(b).

other necessary structures, making such alterations, repairs, improvements or

entry or detainer of the Premises or an eviction. Lessee waives any charges for
damages or injuries or interference with Lessee's property or business in
connection therewith.
33. AUCTIONS: Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted,
--------
either voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common
Areas without first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be
obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to
grant such consent. The holding of any auction on the Premises or Common Areas
in violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material default of this
Lease.

------
a mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a

subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
-29-
36. CONSENTS: Except for paragraph 33 (auctions) and 34 (signs) hereof,
--------
wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act of the
other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

---------
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Office Building Project.
