3.3 DELAY IN POSSESSION. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee as agreed herein by the Early Possession
Date, if one is specified in Paragraph 1.4, or, if no Early Possession Date
is specified, by the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any
liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease,
or the obligations of Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in
such case, Lessee shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated
to pay rent or perform any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this
Lease until Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee. If
possession of the Premises is not delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days
after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing
to Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in which event
the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided,
however, that if such written notice by Lessee is not received by Lessor
within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise
provided, and regardless of when the term actually commences, if possession
is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease and Lessee does not
terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay
Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from
the date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to what
Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any
days of delay caused by the acts, changes or omissions of Lessee.
4. RENT.
4.1 BASE RENT. Lessee shall cause payment of Base Rent and other rent or
charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to be received by Lessor
in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before
the day on which it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all
other rent and charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less
than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number
of days of the calendar month involved. Payment of Base Rent and other charges
shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or
at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to
Lessee.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution
hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for
Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If
Lessee fails to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or
otherwise Defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor
may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the
payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any
liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which
Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or
any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after
written request therefor deposit moneys with Lessor sufficient to restore
said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. Any time the
Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon
written request from Lessor, deposit additional moneys with Lessor sufficient
to maintain the same ratio between the Security Deposit and the Base Rent as
those amounts are specified in the Basic Provisions. Lessor shall not be
required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its
general accounts. Lessor shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of
the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee
(or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest
herein), that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the
Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or
other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any moneys to be paid by
Lessee under this Lease.
6. USE.
6.1 USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the purposes
set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other use which is comparable thereto, and
for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises
in a manner that creates waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or
occupants of, or causes damage to, neighboring premises or properties. Lessor
hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any
written request by Lessee, Lessees assignees or subtenants, and by
prospective assignees and subtenants of the Lessee, its assignees and
subtenants, for a modification of said permitted purpose for which the
premises may be used or occupied, so long as the same will not impair the
structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises, the mechanical or
electrical systems therein, is not significantly more burdensome to the
Premises and the improvements thereon, and is otherwise permissible pursuant
to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such consent, Lessor shall
within five (5) business days give a written notification of same, which
notice shall include an explanation of Lessor's reasonable objections to the
change in use.
6.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
(a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE"
as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material
or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of existence, use,
manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect, either by
itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises,
is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare,
the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority, or (iii) a basis for liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law
theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited to,
hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products, by-products or
fractions thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in, on or about the
Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of
Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of Lessor and
compliance in a timely manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense) with all
Applicable Law (as defined in Paragraph 6.3) "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i)
the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the
generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a
Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a
report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with,
any governmental authority. Reportable Use shall also include Lessee's being
responsible for the presence in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous
Substance with respect to which any Applicable Law requires that a notice be
given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring
properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior
consent, but in compliance with all Applicable Law, use any ordinary and
customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal
course of Lessee's business permitted on the Premises, so long as such use is
not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring
properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor
to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without any
obligation to do so) condition its consent to the use or presence of any
Hazardous Substance, activity or storage tank by Lessee upon Lessee's giving
Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion,
deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the
environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability
therefrom or therefor, including, but not limited to, the installation (and
removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably
necessary protective modifications to the Premises (such as concrete
encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional Security Deposit under
Paragraph 5 hereof.
(b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause
to believe, that a Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or resulting
from same, has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, other
than as previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give
written notice of such fact to Lessor. Lessee shall also immediately give
Lessor a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application,
permit, business plan, license, claim, action or proceeding given to, or
received from, any governmental authority or private party, or persons
entering or occupying the Premises, concerning the presence, spill, release,
discharge of, or exposure to, any Hazardous Substance or contamination in,
on, or about the Premises, including but not limited to all such documents as
may be involved in any Reportable Uses involving the Premises.
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the
Premises, harmless from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, permits
and attorney's and consultant's fees arising out of or involving any
Hazardous Substance or storage tank brought onto the Premises by or for
Lessee or under Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6
shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or
injury to person, property or the environment created or suffered by Lessee,
and the cost of investigation (including consultant's and attorney's fees and
testing), removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of
any contamination therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation or release
agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from its
obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances or storage
tanks, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such
agreement.
6.3 LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, Lessee, shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently

directives, covenants, easements and restrictions of record, permits, the
requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau,
and the recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants, relating in
any manner to the Premises (including but not limited to matters pertaining
to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii) environmental conditions on, in, under or
about the Premises, including soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the
use, generation, manufacture, production, installation, maintenance, removal,
transportation, storage, spill or release of any Hazardous Substance or
storage tank), now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, and
whether or not reflecting a change in policy from any previously existing
policy. Lessee shall, within five (5) days after receipt of Lessor's written
request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and information,
including, but not limited to, permits, registrations, manifests,
applications, reports and certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with
any Applicable Law specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt,

threatened or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report
pertaining to or involving failure by Lessee or the Premises to comply with
any Applicable Law.

and to employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith and/or to

any Hazardous Substance or storage tank on or from the Premises. The costs
and expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting

exist or be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or ordered by a
governmental authority as the result of any such existing or imminent
violation or contamination. In any such case, Lessee shall upon request
reimburse Lessor or Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and
expenses of such inspections.

all of which obligations are intended to be that of the Lessee under
Paragraph 7.1 hereof. It is the intention of the Parties that the terms of
this Lease govern the respective obligations of the Parties as to maintenance
and repair of the Premises. Lessee and Lessor expressly waive the benefit of
any statute now or hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with
the terms of this Lease with respect to, or which affords Lessee the right to
make repairs at the expense of Lessor or to terminate this Lease by reason of
any needed repairs.

owned by Lessor as defined in Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make any
Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises
(excluding the roof), as long as they are not visible from the outside, do
not involve puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any existing
walls, and the cumulative cost thereof during the term of this Lease as
extended does not exceed $25,000.
(b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee
shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with proposed detailed plans. All
consents given by Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by
subsequent specific consent, shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's
acquiring all applicable permits required by governmental authorities, (ii)
the furnishing of copies of such permits together with a copy of the plans
and specifications for the Alteration or Utility Installation to Lessor prior
to commencement of the work thereon, and (iii) the compliance by Lessee with
all conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any
Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee during the term of this Lease
shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, with good and sufficient
materials, and in compliance with all Applicable Law. Lessee shall promptly
upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications
therefor. Lessor may (but without obligation to do so) condition its consent
to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation that costs $10,000 or
more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Alteration
or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee's posting an additional Security
Deposit with Lessor under Paragraph 36 hereof.
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. 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 on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any
mechanics' or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest
therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior
to the commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the
Premises 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 and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises 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. If
Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
amount of such contested lien claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against
liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the Premises
free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require
Lessee to pay Lessor's attorney's fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.

become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided in this Paragraph 7.4, all
Alterations and Utility Additions made to the Premises by Lessee shall be the
property of and owned by Lessee, but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor
may, at any time and at its option, elect in writing to Lessee to be the owner
of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and remain upon

(b) REMOVAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may require that
any or all Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the

removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or
Utility Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.
(c) SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the
end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, with
all of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris
and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted. "ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR" shall not include any damage or

Endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" for damage
caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not
contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this
Lease as an "insured contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity
obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance required by this
Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not, however, limit the liability of
Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance to be
carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar
insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance only.
(b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. In the event Lessor is the Insuring Party,
Lessor shall also maintain liability insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a),
above, in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be
maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured
therein.

8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE--BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.
(a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Insuring Party shall obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name
of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to the holders of any mortgages,
deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("LENDER(S)"), insuring loss
or damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the
full replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to
time, or the amount required by Lenders, but in no event more than the
commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof if, by reason
of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter amount
is less than full replacement cost. If Lessor is the Insuring Party, however,
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall be insured by Lessee
under Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all
risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or
earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for any
additional costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of
coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the
reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the Premises
required to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of any
building, zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered cause of
loss. Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision
in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard
protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage
amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where
the Premises are located. If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause,
the deductible amount shall not exceed $1,000 per occurrence, and Lessee
shall be liable for such deductible amount in the event of an Insured Loss,
as defined in Paragraph 9.1 (c).
(b) RENTAL VALUE. The Insuring Party shall, in addition, obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name
of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and Lender(s), insuring the loss of
the full rental and other charges payable by Lessee to Lessor under this
Lease for one (1) year (including all real estate taxes, insurance costs, and
any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance shall provide that in the
event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of
indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the
completion of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full
year's loss of rental revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance
shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance
clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the
projected rental income, property taxes, insurance premium costs and other
expenses, if any, otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month
period. Lessee shall be liable for any deductible amount in the event of such
loss.
(c) ADJACENT PREMISES. If the Premises are part of a larger building, or
if the Premises are part of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are
adjacent to the Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums
for the property insurance of such building or buildings if said increase is
caused by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(d) TENANT'S IMPROVEMENTS. If the Lessor is the Insuring Party, the
Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor
under the terms of this Lease. If Lessee is the Insuring Party, the policy
carried by Lessee under this Paragraph 8.3 shall insure Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations.
8.4 LESSEE'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph
8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at Lessor's
option, by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance
coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to
that carried by the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3. Such insurance shall
be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000
per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee
for the replacement of personal property or the restoration of Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Lessee shall be the Insuring Party
with respect to the insurance required by this Paragraph 8.4 and shall
provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies
duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are
located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders
Rating" of at least B +, V, or such other rating as may be required by a
Lender having a lien on the Premises, as set forth in the most current issue
of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall not do or permit to be done
anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in this
Paragraph 8. If Lessee is the Insuring Party, Lessee shall cause to be
delivered to Lessor certified copies of policies of such insurance or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with the
insureds and loss payable clauses as required by this Lease. No such policy
shall be cancellable or subject to 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 evidence of renewals
or "insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be
payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. If the Insuring Party shall fail to
procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by the Insuring
Party under this Paragraph 8, the other Party may, but shall not be required
to, procure and maintain the same, but at Lessee's expense.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or remedies,
Lessee and Lessor ("WAIVING PARTY") each hereby release and relieve the
other, and waive their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract
or in tort) against the other, for loss of or damage to the Waiving Party's
property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured
against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such releases and waivers of the
right to recover damages shall not be limited by the amount of insurance
carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable thereto.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's negligence and/or breach of express
warranties, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the
Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners
and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or
damages, costs, liens, judgments, penalties, permits, attorney's and
consultant's fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or
in dealing with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of
Lessee's business, any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by
Lessee in the performance in a timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's
part to be performed under this Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not
be limited to, the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or
proceeding involved therein, and whether or not (in the case of claims made
against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to judgment, and whether well
founded or not. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any of the foregoing matters, 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. Lessor need
not have first paid any such claim in order to be so indemnified.
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property
of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by
or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers,
wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from
any other cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions
arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the
Premises are a part, or from other sources or places, and regardless of
whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same
is accessible or not. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from
any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor's
negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be
liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit
therefrom.
9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
9.1 DEFINITIONS.
(a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction to the
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than 50%
of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
(b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
the repair cost of which damage or destruction is 50% or more of the then
Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
(c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements
on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the
insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any deductible
amounts or coverage limits involved.
(d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition
existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes, ordinances
or laws, and without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the occurrence or
discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises.
9.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE--INSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an
Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such
damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at
Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total
cost to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall
make the insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for
that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was
not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such
repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds
(except as to the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when
required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, the shortage in
proceeds was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the
improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially
reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the
shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the
Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or
adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written
notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds
or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, the party
responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably
possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If Lessor does
not receive such funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may
nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days
thereafter to make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable
with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect. If in such case Lessor does not so elect,
then this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of
the damage or destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event
have any right to reimbursement from Lessor for

any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction.
Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to
Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2, notwithstanding that there may be
some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be
made available for the repairs if made by either Party.
9.3 PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that is
not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's
rights under Paragraph 13), 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 shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give
written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to terminate
this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the giving of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention
to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days
after the receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's
commitment to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense
and without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the
required funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days
following Lessee's said commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon
as reasonably possible and the required funds are available. If Lessee does
not give such notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the
times specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
Lessor's notice of termination.
9.4 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the
damage or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or
willful act of Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction
was caused by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages
from Lessee except as released and waived in Paragraph 8.6.
9.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6) months
of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair
exceeds one (1) month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor
may, at Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days
following 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 occurrence of such damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has
an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then
Lessee may preserve this Lease by, within twenty (20) days following the
occurrence of the damage, or before the expiration of the time provided in
such option for its exercise, whichever is earlier ("EXERCISE PERIOD"), (i)
exercising such option and (ii) providing Lessor with any shortage in
insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the
repairs. If Lessee duly exercises such option during said Exercise Period and
provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover any
shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense repair such
damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such
funds or assurance during said Exercise Period, then Lessor may at Lessor's
option terminate this Lease as of the expiration of said sixty (60) day
period following the occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to
Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10) days after the
expiration of the Exercise Period, notwithstanding any term or provision in
the grant of option to the contrary.
9.6 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) In the event of damage described in Paragraph 9.2 (Partial
Damage-Insured), whether or not Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the
Premises, the Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, and other
charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such
damage, its repair or the restoration continues (not to exceed the period for
which rental value insurance is required under Paragraph 8.3(b)), shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired. Except for abatement of Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance
premiums, and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such 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, in a
substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises
within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at
any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give
written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice
of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty
(60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to
Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender
commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. "COMMENCE" as used in this Paragraph shall mean either the
unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the
beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.
9.7 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee
shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable
Law and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to
Lessor's rights under Paragraph 13), Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i)
investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as
soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to
investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then
monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater, give written notice to
Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the
occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the giving of
such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's
intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten
(10) days after the receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor
of Lessee's commitment to pay for the investigation and remediation of such
Hazardous Substance Condition totally at Lessee's expense and without
reimbursement from Lessor except to the extent of an amount equal to twelve
(12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater.
Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds required of Lessee or satisfactory
assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following Lessee's said commitment.
In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor
shall proceed to make such investigation and remediation as soon as
reasonably possible and the required funds are available. If Lessee does not
give such notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof within
the times specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
specified in Lessor's notice of termination. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs for which Lessee is not legally responsible, there shall be
abatement of Lessee's obligations under this Lease to the same extent as
provided in Paragraph 9.6(a) for a period of not to exceed twelve (12) months.
9.8 TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made
concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to
Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's
Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by
Lessor under the terms of this Lease.
9.9 WAIVE STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with
respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of
any present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 (a) PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Premises during the term of this
Lease. Subject to Paragraph 10.1(b), all such payments shall be made at least
ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of the applicable installment.
Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such
taxes have been paid. If any such taxes to be paid by Lessee shall cover any
period of time prior to or after the expiration or earlier termination of the
term hereof, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be equitably prorated to
cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year this Lease is in
effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment after such
proration. If Lessee shall fail to pay any Real Property Taxes required by
this Lease to be paid by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same,
and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor therefor upon demand.
(b) ADVANCE PAYMENT. In order to insure payment when due and before
delinquency of any or all Real Property Taxes, Lessor reserves the right, at
Lessor's option, to estimate the current Real Property Taxes applicable to
the Premises, and to require such current year's Real Property Taxes to be
paid in advance to Lessor by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal
to the installment due, at least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable
delinquency date, or (ii) monthly in advance with the payment of the Base
Rent. If Lessor elects to require payment monthly in advance, the monthly
payment shall be that equal monthly amount which, over the number of months
remaining before the month in which the applicable tax installment would
become delinquent (and without interest thereon), would provide a fund large
enough to fully discharge before delinquency the estimated installment of
taxes to be paid. When the actual amount of the applicable tax bill is known,
the amount of such equal monthly advance payment shall be adjusted as
required to provide the fund needed to pay the applicable taxes before
delinquency. If the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of
this Paragraph are insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay
such Real Property Taxes as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums as are necessary to pay such
obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this Paragraph may be inter-
mingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event
of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of the obligations of Lessee under
this Lease, then any balance of funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of
this Paragraph may, subject to proration as provided in Paragraph 10.1(a), at
the option of Lessor, be treated as an additional Security Deposit under
Paragraph 5.
10.2 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAXES." As used herein, the term "REAL
PROPERTY TAXES" 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 upon the Premises by any authority
having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or
federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage or other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or in the real property of which
the Premises are a part, Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom,
and/or Lessor's business of leasing the Premises. The term "REAL PROPERTY
TAXES" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any
increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring, or changes in
applicable law taking effect, during the term of this Lease, including but
not limited to a change in the ownership of the Premises or in the
improvements thereon, the execution of this Lease, or any modification,
amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or not contemplated by the Parties.
10.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property
Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel
assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective
valuations
Initials [ILLEGIBLE]

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.
10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes
assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee shall
cause its Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property
to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of
Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay 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 or, at Lessor's option, as provided in Paragraph 10.1(b).
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be
determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign,
transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively.
"ASSIGNMENT") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or
in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and
subject to the terms of Paragraph 36.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment
requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall
constitute a change in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or
series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing,
refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a
formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs,
which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as
hereinafter defined, by an amount equal to or greater than twenty-five
percent (25%) of such Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at
the time of the execution by Lessor of this Lease or at the time of the most
recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately
prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, at
whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or is greater, shall be
considered an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which Lessor may
reasonably withhold its consent. "NET WORTH OF LESSEE" for purposes of this
Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established
under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
(d) An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in this Lease
without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option, be
a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a noncurable Breach
without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to
treat such unconsented to assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach,
Lessor shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon
thirty (30) days written notice ("Lessor's Notice"), increase the monthly
Base Rent to fair market rental value or one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Base Rent then in effect, whichever is greater. Pending determination of
the new fair market rental value, if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the
amount set forth in Lessor's Notice, with any overpayment credited against
the next installment(s) of Base Rent coming due, and any underpayment for the
period retroactively to the effective date of the adjustment being due and
payable immediately upon the determination thereof. Further, in the event of
such Breach and market value adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option
to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar
adjustment to the then fair market value (without the Lease being considered
an encumbrance or any deduction for depreciation or obsolescence, and
considering the Premises at its highest and best use and in good condition),
or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price previously in effect,
whichever is greater, (ii) any index-oriented rental or price adjustment
formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to require that the base
index be determined with reference to the index applicable to the time of
such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the
remainder of the Lease term shall be increased in the same ratio as the new
market rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the
market value adjustment.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor
shall be limited to compensatory damages and injunctive relief.
12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting shall
not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or
sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of
any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for
the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder or for the
performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's obligations
from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an
assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or
estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by
Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or
to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee.
However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the
sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee
or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their
consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under
this Lease or sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors
or any one else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations
under 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.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be
in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as
to the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the
proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use
and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a
non-refundable deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current monthly
Base Rent, whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's
considering and processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide
Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may
be reasonably requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason
of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for
the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with
each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed
or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other
than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of
an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in
writing.
(g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.1(c)
shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the
Security Deposit be increased to an amount equal to six (6) times the then
monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the
amount required to establish such Security Deposit a condition to Lessor's
consent to such transaction. *
12.3 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. 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:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a
portion of the Premises 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 Breach (as defined in
Paragraph 13.1) shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, Lessee may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, 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 Breach exists in the performance of
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other
charges due and to become due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon
any such statement and request from Lessor and shall pay such rents and other
charges to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether
such Breach exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee
to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against said sublessee,
or, until the Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and
other charges so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee 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 the sublessor under such
sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of
such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid
rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any
other prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.
(c) Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor under
a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by
Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee
within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall
have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such
Defaults cured by the sublessee
13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in
said notice as rent due and payable to cure said Default. A "DEFAULT" is
defined as a failure by the Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of
the terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this
Lease. A "BREACH"
* The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the Lessee sublets the premises
and Lessee receives base rent which is greater than the base rent the Lessee
is paying the Lessor at the time of the subletting, the Lessee shall pay to
Lessor all and any sublet rents which are in excess of the base rent at the
time of the sublet; however, Lessee shall have the right to offset any
leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs against this excess rent
payment to Lessor.

is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following Defaults,
and, where a grace period for cure after notice is specified herein, the
failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of the
applicable grace period, shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:
(a) The vacating of the Premises without the intention to reoccupy
same, or the abandonment of the Premises.
(b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure
by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent or any other monetary payment
required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third
party, as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with
reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, or
the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which
endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a
period of three (3) days following written notice thereof by or on behalf of
Lessor to Lessee.
(c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure
by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly
executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable Law
per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service contracts
required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the recission of an unauthorized
assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1(b), (iv) a Tenancy Statement per
Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of this Lease
per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii)
the execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or
(viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably
require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure
continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof,
that are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than
those described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or
on behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this
Lease by Lessee if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) The making by
lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 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 within 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;
provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph (e)
is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or
effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to
Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor of Lessee's obligations hereunder was
materially false.
(g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is
guaranteed: (i) the death of a guarantor, (ii) the termination of a
guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance
with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a guarantor's becoming insolvent or
the subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a guarantor's refusal to honor the
guaranty, or (v) a guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an
anticipatory breach basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days
following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such
event, to provide Lessor with written alternative assurance or security,
which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or
exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the guarantors that
existed at the time of execution of this Lease.
13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written
notice to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at
its option (but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation
on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably
required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made under this
Lease by Lessee to be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach
of this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph 13.1, with or without
further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any
right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:
(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: (i) the worth
at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time
of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time
of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could
have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor
for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform
its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
would be likely to result therefrom, 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 that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor applicable to
the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the
amount referred to in provision (iii) of the prior sentence shall be computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by
Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this Lease
shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph. If
termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of
unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding
the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve
therein the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit for
such rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under
subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay
rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee
under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer
shall also constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes
required by subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable
grace period under subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d) and under the unlawful
detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such statutory notice,
and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two
such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of
this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or
by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect (in
California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach
and abandonment and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has
the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. See
Paragraphs 12 and 36 for the limitations on assignment and subletting which
limitations Lessee and Lessor agree are reasonable. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver
to protect the Lessor's interest under the Lease, shall not constitute a
termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(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.
(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters
occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's
occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of
which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "INDUCEMENT PROVISIONS,"
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or
observed by Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon
the occurrence of a Breach of this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph
13.1, any such inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted
from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other
charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid
by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and
payable by Lessee to Lessor, and recoverable by Lessor as additional rent due
under this Lease, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by
Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which
initiated the operation of this Paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by
Lessor of the provisions of this Paragraph unless specifically so stated in
writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and 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 upon
Lessor by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the
Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from
Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within five (5)
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 six percent (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. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach 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 Base Rent, then notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.
13.5 BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a
reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt
by Lessor, and by the holders of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust
covering the Premises whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee
in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such
obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the
nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after
such notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall
not be in breach of this Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof 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

NET PAGE 7
title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%)
of the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the land area not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee
may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing 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 Base
Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of
the Premises taken bears to the total rentable floor area of the building
located on the Premises. No reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the only
portion of the Premises taken is land on which there is no building. 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 compensation separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's
relocation expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to
the extent of its net severance damages received, over and above the legal
and other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, 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
be responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.
16. TENANCY STATEMENT.
16.1 Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall within ten (10) days after
written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY") execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in
form similar to the then most current "TENANCY STATEMENT" form published by
the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional
information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by
the Requesting Party.
16.2 If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, any
part thereof, or the building of which the Premises are a part, Lessee and
all Guarantors of Lessee's performance hereunder shall deliver to any
potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements
of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be reasonably required by such lender or
purchaser, including but not limited to Lessee's financial statements for the
past three (3) years. All such financial statements shall be received by
Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for
the purposes herein set forth.
17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the owner
or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if
this is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event
of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior
Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations
and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor.
Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to
be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as
hereinabove defined.
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. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within thirty (30)
days following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the
thirty-first (31st) day after it was due at the rate of 12% per annum, but
not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the late charge
provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance
of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this
Lease.
21. RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.
22. NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains all
agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein,
and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be
effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that
it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the
nature, quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to
this Lease and as to the nature, quality and character of the Premises.
Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any
default or breach hereof by either Party.
23. NOTICES.
23.1 All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing
and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or courier service)
or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal
Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and
shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this
Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this
Lease shall be that Party's address for delivery or mailing of notice
purposes. Either Party may by written 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 the purpose
of mailing or delivering notices to Lessee. 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 written notice to Lessee.
23.2 Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt
card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by
regular mail the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after
the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantees next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours
after delivery of the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If
any notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means, the
same shall be deemed served or delivered upon telephone confirmation of
receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via
delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Sunday or legal holiday, it
shall be deemed received on the next business day.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof.
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 or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an
estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such
consent. Regardless of Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time
of accepting rent, the acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of
any preceding Default or Breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than
the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted. Any payment
given Lessor by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of moneys or
damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions
made by Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or
conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless specifically
agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such
payment.
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. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.
26. NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, UNLESS LESSOR AND LESSEE HAVE MADE PRIOR AGREEMENT TO THE
HOLDOVER.

27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
at law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be
governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any
litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be
initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.
30. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.
30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or
other hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now
or hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises
are a part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no
duty, liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor
under this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to
any such obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have
been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default
and allow such Lender thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice for
the cure of said default before invoking any remedies Lessee may have by
reason thereof. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall
give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be
deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of
the documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device,
and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be
liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events
occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets
or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be
bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent.
30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this
Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT")
from the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any
options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is
not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.
30.4 SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be
effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.
31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) or Broker in any such proceeding, action, or appeal
thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Such fees may be
awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such
action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term,
"PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who
substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be,
whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other
Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorney's fees award shall not
be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as
to fully reimburse all attorney's fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be
entitled to attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation
and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith,
whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with
such Default or resulting Breach.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises with 24 hours verbal or written
prior notice, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times
for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or
lessees, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to
the Premises or to the building of which they are a part, as Lessor may
reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the
Premises or building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time
during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term hereof place on or
about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such activities of
Lessor shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises 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.
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises, except that
Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent, install (but not on the
roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise Lessee's own
business. The installation of any sign on the Premises by or for Lessee shall
be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alterations). Unless otherwise expressly
agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use of the roof and the
right to install, and all revenues from the installation of, such advertising
signs on the Premises, including the roof, as do not unreasonably interfere
with the conduct of Lessee's business.
35. TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for
Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate
in the Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such
surrender, termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one
or all of any existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days
following any such event to make a written election to the contrary by
written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute
Lessor's election to have such event constitute the termination of such
interest.
36. CONSENTS.
(a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise
provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to
an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including
but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' or other consultants'
fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee
for any Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including
but not limited to consents to an assignment, a subletting or the presence or
use of a Hazardous Substance, practice or storage tank, shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation
therefor. Subject to Paragraph 12.2(e) (applicable to assignment or
subletting), Lessor may, as a condition to considering any such request by
Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of money (in
addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably
calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering
and responding to Lessee's request. Except as otherwise provided, any unused
portion of said deposit shall be refunded to Lessee without interest.
Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of this Lease or subletting of the
Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no Default or
Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a
waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be otherwise
specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent.
(b) All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by
Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then
reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given.
37. GUARANTOR.
37.1 If there are to be any Guarantors of this Lease per Paragraph 1.11,
the form of the guaranty to be executed by each such Guarantor shall be in
the form most recently published by the American Industrial Real Estate
Association, and each said Guarantor shall have the same obligations as
Lessee under this Lease, including but not limited to the obligation to
provide the Tenancy Statement and information called for by Paragraph 16.

such Guarantor fails or refuses, upon reasonable request by Lessor to give:

including the authority of the Guarantor (and of the party signing on
Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on said guaranty, and
including in the case of a corporate Guarantor, a certified copy of a
resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making of such guaranty,
together with a certificate of incumbency showing the signature of the
persons authorized to sign on its behalf, (b) current financial statements of
Guarantor as may from time to time be requested by Lessor, (c) a Tenancy

subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

of Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due

restrictions.

payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive

required by an institutional, insurance company, or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the
property of which the Premises are a part.
