(c) The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and services set

or facilities or to provide those services unless the Industrial Center already
has the same, Lessor already provides the services, or Lessor has agreed
elsewhere in the Lease to provide the same or some of them.
(d) Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by Lessee
within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses is
presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's option, however, an amount may be
estimated by Lessor from time to time of Lessee's Share of annual Operating
Expenses and the same shall be payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall
designate, during each twelve-month period 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 Expenses as aforesaid, Lessor shall deliver to
-4-

Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each calendar year a
reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of the actual Operating
Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If Lessee's payments under this
paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding 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 Expenses next falling due. If
Lessee's payments under this paragraph during said preceding 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. If estimated operating expenses are due Lessee at the end of
the lease term, then this refund shall be paid to Lessee within sixty (60) days.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution
hereof $8,032.42 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 or 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 in
an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount than required of
Lessee. If the monthly 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 4. 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, or so much thereof as has not theretofore
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 general
office and R&D use for medical products or any other use which is reasonably
comparable and for no other purposes.
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 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
-5-
6
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 rectify promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, any such
violation. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor written notice of the
violation of this warranty within six months from the date that the Lease term
commences, the correction of same shall be the obligation of the Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2(a) shall be of
no force or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was an owner or
occupant of the Premises and, in such event, Lessor shall correct any such
violation at Lessee's sole cost.
(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 Lessee of
the Premises and of the Common Areas. Lessee shall not use nor 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 Industrial Center.
6.3 CONDITION OF PREMISES.
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free
of debris on the Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in
possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air
conditioning, heating, and loading doors in the Premises shall be in good
operating condition on the Lease commencement date. In the event that it is
determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the 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. Lessee's failure to give such written notice to Lessor
within thirty (30) days after the Lease commencement date shall cause the
conclusive presumption that Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's obligations
hereunder. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.3(a) shall be of no force
or effect if prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was an owner or occupant of
the Premises.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises 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 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 neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business.

however, be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surface of exterior
walls, nor shall Lessor be required to maintain, repair or replace windows,
doors or plate glass of the Premises. Lessor shall have no obligation to make
repairs under this paragraph 7.1 until a reasonable time after receipt of
written notice from Lessee of the need for such repairs. 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. Lessor shall not be liable for damages or loss of any kind or nature
by reason of Lessor's failure to furnish any Common Area Services when such
failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockout, or other
labor disturbances or disputes of any character, or by any other cause beyond
the reasonable control of Lessor.
7.2 LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.

case of emergency, in which no notice shall be required), perform such
obligations on Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in good order, condition and
repair, and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the maximum rate
then allowable by law shall be due and payable as additional rent to Lessor
together with Lessee's next Base Rent installment.

(c) 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 prevented by good maintenance practices. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, alterations, furnishings and equipment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee

make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations in, on
or about the Premises, or the Industrial Center, except for nonstructural
alterations to the Premises not exceeding $10,000 in cumulative costs, during
the term of this Lease. In any event, whether or not in excess of $10,000 in
cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or alteration to the exterior of
the Premises nor the exterior of the Building nor the Industrial Center without
Lessor's prior written consent. As used in this paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility
Installation" shall mean carpeting, window coverings, air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters, air
conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may require that Lessee remove any
or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations at
the expiration of the term, and restore the Premises and the Industrial Center
to their prior condition. 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, Lessor
may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any
or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in or about the Premises or the Industrial Center that Lessee
shall desire to make and which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor
shall give its consent, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee
acquiring a permit to do so from appropriate governmental agencies, the
furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the commencement of the work and
the compliance by Lessee of 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

9
or the Industrial Center, or any interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not
less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any work in the
Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of nonresponsibility
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 or the Industrial
Center, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor a 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 and the Industrial Center free from the effect of such lien
or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees
and costs in participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to
Lessor's best interest to do so.
(d) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall be the property of
Lessor and shall 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). Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7.3(d),
Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to the
Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises,

may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of paragraph 7.2

additional utility facilities throughout the Building and the Common Areas for
the benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Industrial Center,

systems, security 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
Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury and Property Damage insurance insuring
Lessee and Lessor against any liability arising out of the use, occupancy or
maintenance of the Premises and the Industrial Center. Such insurance shall be
in an amount not less than $500,000.00 per occurrence. The policy shall
insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this paragraph 8.
The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee
hereunder.

force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily
Injury and Property Damage Insurance, insuring Lessor, but not Lessee, against

not less than $500,000 per occurrence.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or
damage to the Industrial Center improvements, but not Lessee's personal

the full replacement value thereof, as the same may exist from time to time,
providing protection against all perils included within the classification of
fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event the
same is required by a lender having a lien on the Premises) special extended
perils ("all risk," as such term is used in the insurance industry), plate glass
insurance and such other insurance as Lessor deems advisable. 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.
In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as defined in
paragraph 9.1(g) hereof, the deductible amounts under the casualty insurance
policies relating to the Premises shall be paid by Lessee.

not be responsible for paying Lessee's Share of any increase in the property
insurance premium for the Industrial Center specified by Lessor's insurance
carrier as being caused by the use, acts or omissions of any other lessee of the
Industrial Center, or by the nature of such other lessee's occupancy which
create an extraordinary or unusual risk.
(b) Lessee, however, shall pay the entirety of any increase in
the property insurance premium for the Industrial Center 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. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as

not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance
policies carried by Lessor. 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 cancellable 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 or "binders"
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 loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured
against which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to the
negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or
invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance
required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the
foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor
from and against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Industrial
Center, 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 from and against
any and all claims 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, or employees, and from and against all costs, attorney's fees,
expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action
or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessor by reason of any such claim. Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall
defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. 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 Industrial Center
arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof
against Lessor.
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 damages 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 Industrial Center, 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 fire, steam, 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 Industrial
Center, or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or
neglect of any other lessee, occupant or user of the Industrial Center, nor from
the failure of Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other lease of the

may at Lessor's option either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably
possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, or (ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after the date of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's intention to cancel
and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. In the

repair such damage at Lessee's expense, without reimbursement from Lessor, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessee shall

(a) Subject to paragraph 9.4(b), if at any time during the
last six months of the term of this Lease there is substantial damage, whether
or not an Insured Loss, which falls within the classification of Premises
Partial Damage, Lessor may at Lessor's option cancel and terminate this Lease as
of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of
Lessor's election to do so within 30 days after the date of occurrence 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
-13-
14
classification of Premises Partial Damage during the last six months of the term

period, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage, but not Lessee's
fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements, as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise
such option during said twenty (20) day period, then Lessor may at Lessor's
option terminate 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,

(a) In the event Lessor repairs or restores the Premises
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 9, the rent payable hereunder for
the period during which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired. Except for abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this paragraph 9 and shall not commence such
repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall
accrue, 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 of such repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such notice.
9.6 TERMINATION -- ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this
Lease pursuant to this paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made
concerning advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor.
Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit
as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor.
9.7 WAIVER. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statute
which relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and
agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the real property tax, as
defined in paragraph 10.3, applicable to the Industrial Center subject to
reimbursement by Lessee of Lessee's Share of such taxes in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 4.2, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.2
10.2 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Lessee shall not be responsible for
paying Lessee's Share of any increase in real property tax specified in the tax
assessor's records and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements
placed upon the Industrial
-14-
15
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. 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.
10.3 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX". As used herein, the term
"real property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed on the Industrial Center or any portion
thereof by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, 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 Industrial Center 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 Industrial Center.
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 transfer,
either partial or total, of Lessor's interest in the Industrial Center or which
is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of real
property tax by reason of such transfer, or (v) which is imposed by reason of
this transaction, any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.
10.4 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Industrial Center is not separately
assessed, Lessee's Share of the real property tax liability shall be an
equitable proportion of real property taxes for all of the land and improvements
included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by
Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or
such other information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable
determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.
10.5 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
-15-
16
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, 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.
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 any 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 breach of
this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under paragraph 13.1.
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 said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. 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 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 OF ASSIGNMENT. Regardless of Lessor's
consent, no assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or
alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the Base Rent and Lessee's Share of
Operating Expenses, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by
Lessee hereunder. Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
pending approval or disapproval of such assignment. Neither a delay in the
approval or disapproval of such assignment 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 or this Lease.
Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor
of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against
said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without
notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or their
consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this
Lease.
-16-
17
12.4 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 included in
subleases:
(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 the rents from a
sublessee, 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 such 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 sublease 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 sublessee 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) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been
guaranteed by third parties, then a sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto,
shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease and the terms thereof.
(d) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not release
Lessee from its obligations or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the
rent and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Lessee to be
performed under this Lease.
(e) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any assignment
or subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent
sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications
thereof without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on
-17-
18
the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall
not relieve such persons from liability.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for
the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefore to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) 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 require 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.
(h) Each and every consent of Lessee under a sublease shall
also require the consent of Lessor.
(i) No sublessees shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(j) Lessor's written consent to any subletting of the Premises
by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no default then exists
under this Lease of the obligations 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.
(k) 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 to cure a default of Lessee
within ten (10) days after service of said notice of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.
12.5 ATTORNEYS' FEES. 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 attorneys' fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys' fees not to exceed $350 for each such request.
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:
-18-
19
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
(b) 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.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this lease, the failure by
Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of
this Lease to be observed over performed by lessee, other than described in
paragraph (b) 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 prosecutes 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.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor"
as defined by 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty
(60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee with thirty
(30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)
days. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d) is contrary to
any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, was materially false.
13.2 REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default 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 recovery 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 commission
-19-
20
actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court 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 nor 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 firth 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 prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Shares of operating Expenses or other
sums due hereunder will cause 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 Property. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent,
Operating Expenses, 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 5% 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. 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. In the event that a late charge is
payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of any of the aforesaid monetary obligations of Lessee, then Base
Rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather
than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease
to the contrary.
-20-
21
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Industrial
Center 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. If more than ten
percent (10%) of the floor area of the Premises, or more then twenty-five (25%)
of that portion of the Common Areas designated as parking for the Industrial
Center is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised
in writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee
written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10)
days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) 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 shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of
the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises. No reduction
of rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have the
Premises located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the
Premises 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 award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures
and removable personal property. 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) Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay to
per agreement __________, licensed real estate broker(s), 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), the sum of $ per
agreement , for brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this
transaction.
(b) Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercises any Option, as
defined in paragraph 40.1 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 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 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 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, than as to any of said transactions,
Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in
-21-
22
accordance with the schedule of said broker(s) in effect at the time of
execution of this Lease.
(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 interests 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. Said broker shall be a third party
beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph 15.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Each party (as "responding party") shall at any time upon not less
than ten (10) days' prior written notice from the other party ("requesting
party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in
writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to
which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon
by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or of the business
of the requesting party.
(b) At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material default of this Lease by the
party who is to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall
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)
there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance, and (iii)

waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of

24
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

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

cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a merger, and

event that Lessor has given to Lessee three or more notices of default under
paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured,
during the 12 months period of time immediately prior to the time that Lessee
