acknowledges that any termination of the underlying Lease shall extinguish this
Sublease. Landlord's consent to this Sublease shall not make Landlord a party
to this Sublease, shall not create any privily of contract between Landlord and
Subtenant or other contractual liability or duty on the part of the Landlord to

subletting shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from the
terms of any covenant or obligation under this Lease, nor shall the collection
or acceptance of rent from any such assignee, subtenant or occupant constitute
a waiver or release of Tenant of any covenant or obligation contained in this
Lease, nor shall any such assignment or subletting be construed to relieve

date of recording thereof. In the event any mortgage or deed of trust to which
this Lease is subordinate is foreclosed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is
given to the mortgagee or beneficiary, Tenant shall attain to the purchaser at
the foreclosure sale or to the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure;
in the event any ground lease to which this Lease is subordinate is terminated,

foregoing, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance
agreement from all mortgagees and beneficiaries of any deeds of trust now or
hereafter placed on the Building, provided that the same can be obtained at no

liability to Tenant as a result of its failure to obtain any non-disturbance
agreement, provided that Landlord endeavored in good faith to obtain such an
agreement.

substantial part of the Land or the Building should be taken for any public or
quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right
of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking would
prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose

Lease, effective when the physical taking of said Land or the Building shall
occur. If part of the Land or Building shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by
right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease
is not terminated as provided in the sentence above, this Lease shall not
terminate but too rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this
Lease shall be adjusted to reflect Tenant's new proportionate share of the
Building. In the event of any such taking or

shall not detract from any award which Landlord is entitled to receive; and if

and restorations as hereafter expressly provided, unless this Lease shall be
terminated by Landlord or unless any mortgagee which la entitled to receive
casualty insurance proceeds fails to make available to Landlord a sufficient
amount of such proceeds to cover the Cost of such repairs and restoration.
If (i) the damage is of such nature or extent, in the judgment of Landlord's
architect, that more than two hundred ten (210) consecutive days, after
commencement of the work, would be required (with normal work crews and hours)
to repair and restore the part of the Premises or Building which has been
damaged, or (ii) a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building is so
damaged that, in Landlord's sole judgment, it is uneconomic to restore or
repair the Premises or the Building, as the case may be, Landlord shall so
advise Tenant promptly and Landlord or Tenant, for a period of ten (10) days
thereafter, shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to
the other, as of the date specified in such notice, which termination date

event of such fire or other casualty, if this Lease is not terminated pursuant
to the terms of this Section 17, and if (i) sufficient casualty insurance
proceeds are available for use for such restoration or repair, and (ii) this
Lease is then in full force and effect, Landlord shall proceed promptly and
diligently to restore the Premises to its substantially similar condition prior
to the occurrence of the damage, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated
to repair or restore any alterations, additions or fixtures which Tenant or any
other tenant may have installed unless Tenant, in a manner satisfactory to
Landlord, assures payment in full of all Costs which may be incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith. Landlord shall not insure any improvements or
alterations to the Premises in excess of Standard Tenant Work (unless such
improvements or alterations become fixtures), equipment or other property of

not manure or agree to issue payment of the Cost or restoration or repair as
aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right to determine the manner in which the
Premises shall be restored so as to be substantially the same as the Premises
existed prior to the damage occurring, as if such alterations, additions or
fixtures had not been made or installed. The validity and effect of this Lease
shall not be impaired in any way by, and Landlord shall have no liability as a
result of, the failure of Landlord to complete repairs and restoration of the
Premises or of the Building within two hundred ten (210) consecutive days after
commencement of work, even if Landlord had in good faith notified Tenant that
it estimated that the repair and restoration would be completed within such
period, provided that Landlord proceeds diligently with such repair and
restoration.
In the case of damage to the Premises not caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of the Tenant or any of its agents, employees or invitees,
and which la of a nature or extent that Tenant is continued occupancy is
substantially impaired, the rent otherwise payable by Tenant hereunder shall be

Taxes for said preceding calendar year exceeded Tenant's actual increases for
said year, then Tenant may deduct such overpayment from its next payment or
payments of monthly rent. If such statement shows that Tenant's percentage
share of Landlord's actual increases in the annual Real Estate Taxes exceeded

Estate Taxes for said preceding calendar year, then Tenant shall pay the total
amount due to Landlord, which amount shall constitute additional rent hereunder

refund to which Tenant la entitled from Landlord for the calendar year in which
the expiration date occurs shall be determined by multiplying the amount of
Tenant's share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction with the number
of days during such calendar year prior to the expiration date as the
numerator, and with 365 as the denominator. The termination of this Lease shall
not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this Section to
be performed after such termination.
(e) Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against
personal property, furniture or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, and
if any such taxes for which Tenant la liable are in any way levied or assessed

acceptance of rent following an Event of Default hereunder shall not be
construed as Landlord's waiver of such Event of Default. No waiver by Landlord

contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other
violation or Event of Default. The lose or damage that Landlord may suffer by

Term. Tenant's obligations and liability under this Lease shall also survive

foregoing provisions of this Section 21. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section, in computing the amount due Landlord as a
result of any Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall not be entitled to
receive any credit, upon reletting by Landlord after Tenant's default, for any
rent or other sums received by Landlord in excess of those for which Tenant is
otherwise obligated herein.
