2. LEASED
PREMISES; ADJUSTMENTS
2.1 Leased
Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby
leases and accepts from Landlord, the Leased Premises, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Lease and any modifications, supplements or
addenda
hereto (the "Lease"), including the Basic Provisions of ArticleI
which are incorporated herein by this reference, together with the nonexclusive
right to use, in common with Landlord and others, the Building Common Areas
(defined below). For the purposes of this Lease, the term
"Building Common Areas" means common hallways, corridors, walkways and
footpaths, foyers and lobbies, parking lots, driveways, landscaped areas,
and
such other areas within or adjacent to the Building which are subject to
or are
designed or intended solely for the common enjoyment, use and/or benefits
of the
tenants of the Property.
2.2 Adjustments. The
Monthly Basic Rent at the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) is based
on
the Leased Premises containing the rentable square footage set forth in
Article 1.8 above.
3. LEASE
TERM, COMMENCEMENT DATE
3.1 Lease
Term. The Lease Term shall begin on the Commencement Date and
shall be for the period set forth in Article 1. 10 above, plus any period
of less than one (1) month between the Commencement Date and the first day
of
the next succeeding calendar month, unless sooner terminated in accordance
with
the further provisions of this Lease.
4. SECURITY
DEPOSIT
Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, upon the execution of this Lease, the Security Deposit
set forth in Article 1. 13 above as security for the performance by
Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, which amount shall be returned
to
Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided
that
Tenant shall have fully performed all of its obligations contained in this
Lease. The Security Deposit, at the election of Landlord, may be
retained by Landlord as and for its full damages or may be applied in reduction
of any loss and/or damage sustained by Landlord by reason of the occurrence
of
any breach, nonperformance or default by Tenant under this Lease without
the
waiver of any other right or remedy available to Landlord at law, in equity
or
under the terms of this Lease. If any portion of the Security Deposit
is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written notice
from Landlord, deposit with Landlord immediately available funds in an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a breach of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges
and agrees that in the event Tenant shall file a voluntary petition pursuant
to
the Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto, or if an involuntary petition
is
filed against Tenant pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto,
then Landlord may apply the Security Deposit towards those obligations of
Tenant
to Landlord which accrued prior to the filing of such
petition. Tenant acknowledges further that the Security Deposit may
be commingled with Landlord's other funds and that Landlord shall be entitled
to
retain any interest earnings thereon. In the event of termination of
Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit
to Landlord's successor in interest, whereupon Landlord shall be released
from
liability by Tenant for the return of such deposit or the accounting
therefore.

amounts then payable by Tenant to Landlord or to the next
maturing installment of Monthly Basic Rent or Additional
Rent. Any deficiency between the estimated and actual Pro Rata Share
of Operating Costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with

or
right of approval, be deemed to make any representation, warranty or

additional insured endorsement(s) shall be delivered to Landlord prior to
commencement of the Lease Term. Each such policy shall provide that
any loss payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (a) any act,
omission or neglect by Tenant or by any subtenant of Tenant, or (b) any
occupation or use of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant
or by
any subtenant of Tenant for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the
terms
of such policy or policies, or (c) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding
taken by any mortgagee or trustee pursuant to any provision of any mortgage
or
deed of trust covering the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property,
or (d)
any change in title or ownership of the Property. All insurance
policies required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be written as primary
policies, not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which Landlord
may
carry. Tenant shall procure and maintain all policies entirely at its
own expense and shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration
of such
policies, furnish Landlord with certified copies of replacement policies
or
renewal certificates for existing policies in conformance with Accord Form
No.
27 (March 1993). Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything
which shall invalidate the insurance policies maintained by Landlord or the
insurance policies required pursuant to this Article 9 or the coverage
thereunder. If Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant does or permits to
be done anything which shall increase the cost of any insurance policies
maintained by Landlord, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any additional
premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Tenant or any
subtenant of Tenant causing such increase in the cost of
insurance. Any such amount shall be payable as Additional Rent within
five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of a xxxx from Landlord. All
policies of insurance (other than the policy of property insurance described
in
Article 9.2) shall name both Landlord and Tenant (and/or such other party
or parties as Landlord may require) as insureds and shall be endorsed to
indicate that the coverage provided shall not be invalid due to any act or
omission on the part of Landlord. In addition, the policy of property
insurance described in Article 9.2 shall name Landlord (and Landlord's Lender,
if Landlord shall so require) as a co-loss payee.
9.6 Co-Insurance. If
on account of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this
Article 9, Landlord is deemed a co-insurer by its insurance carrier, then
any
loss or damage which Landlord shall sustain by reason thereof shall be borne
by
Tenant, and shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) days after receipt of
a xxxx
therefor.
9.7 Adequacy
of Insurance. Landlord makes no representation or warranty to
Tenant that the amount of insurance to be carried by Tenant under the terms
of
this Lease is adequate to fully protect Tenant's interests. If Tenant
believes that the amount of any such insurance is insufficient, Tenant is
encouraged to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, such additional insurance
as
Tenant may deem desirable or adequate. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, waiving, accepting,
or obtaining any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the
amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of such insurance,
the solvency of any insurance companies or the payment or defense of any
lawsuit
in connection with such insurance coverage, and Tenant hereby expressly assumes
full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect
thereto.
10. RECONSTRUCTION
10.1 Insured
Damage. In the event the Leased Premises are damaged during the
Lease Term by fire or other perils covered by Landlord's insurance, Landlord
shall:
(a) Subject
to Force Majeure, within a period of ninety (90) days after receipt by Landlord
of insurance proceeds and the adjustment of the loss with the Superior Mortgagee
and/or the Superior Lessor, as the case may be, and its insurer, and provided
there is not then in existence of an
Event
of Default, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Leased
Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event
this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
10
EXHIBIT
10.1 - continued
(b) In
the event of a partial or total destruction of either the Leased Premises,
the
Building, or the Property during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term,
Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving written
notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such destruction. For
purposes of this Article 10, "partial destruction" shall be deemed
destruction to an extent of at least thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33
%) of the then full replacement cost of the Leased Premises, the Building,
or
the Property as of the date of destruction.
(c) In
the event that Superior Mortgagee shall require that insurance proceeds be
applied
against the principal balance due on the Superior Mortgage (defined below),
then
Landlord may, at Landlord's option and upon sixty (60) days written notice
to
Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease.
10.2 Uninsured
Damage. In the event the Leased Premises, the Building or the
Property shall be damaged as a result of any casualty not covered by Landlord's
insurance, to any extent whatsoever, Landlord may, subject to Force Majeure,
within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the casualty,
commence repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Leased Premises, in
which
event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or within such
one
hundred eighty (180) day period elect not to so repair, reconstruct or restore
the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property, as the case may be, in
which
event this Lease shall cease and terminate. In either event, Landlord
shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's intention within such one
hundred
eighty (180) day period.
10.3 Reconstruction. In
the event of any reconstruction of the Leased Premises, the Building or the
Property pursuant to this Article 10, such reconstruction shall be in
conformity with all city, county, state and federal ordinances, rules and
regulations then in existence, as the same may be interpreted and
enforced. Notwithstanding that all reconstruction work shall be
performed by Landlord's contractor unless Landlord shall otherwise agree
in
writing, Landlord's obligation to reconstruct the Leased Premises shall be
only
to the comparable condition of the Leased Premises immediately prior to the
Commencement Date. Landlord's obligation to repair and reconstruct
the Leased Premises shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds of insurance
received by Landlord, subject to reduction pursuant to Article 10.1(c)
above. Any extra expenses incurred by Landlord in the reconstruction
of the Leased Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Property
as a
result of the violation by Tenant of the terms and conditions set forth in
Article 34 below shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, shall be responsible for the repair and restoration of
all
items of the Tenant Improvements or Tenant's improvements and/or alterations
installed pursuant to Article 7.2 and the replacement of Tenant's stock
in trade, trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings and
equipment. Tenant shall commence the installation of fixtures,
equipment and merchandise promptly upon delivery to Tenant of possession
of the
Leased Premises and shall diligently prosecute such installation to
completion.
10.4 Termination. Upon
any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Article
10, Landlord and Tenant each shall be released without further obligations
to the other coincident with the surrender of possession of the Leased Premises
to Landlord, except for items which have previously accrued and remain
unpaid. In the event of termination, all proceeds from Tenant's
property insurance coverage and covering the Tenant Improvements or Tenant's
improvements and/or alterations installed pursuant to Article 7.2, but
excluding proceeds for trade fixtures, merchandise, signs and other removable
personal property, shall be disbursed and paid to Landlord, less the
unamortized portion of the Tenant Improvements initially installed by
Tenant.
10.5 Abatement. In
the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Leased Premises,
the
Minimum Monthly Rental and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately
with
the degree to which Tenant's use of the Leased Premises is impaired commencing
from the date of destruction and continuing during the period of such repair,
reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall continue the operation of
Tenant's business at the Leased Premises during any such period to the
extent
reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business
management. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or
damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the
Leased
Premises, or the building of which the Leased Premises are a part, Tenant's
personal property or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such
damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.
11
EXHIBIT
10.1 - continued
10.6 Waiver. Tenant
hereby waives any statutory and common law rights of termination which may
arise
by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Leased Premises which
Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions
of
this Lease, including the provisions of A.R.S. § 33-343.
11. WAIVER
OF
SUBROGATION
Tenant
hereby waives its rights and the subrogation rights of its insurer against
Landlord and any other tenants of space in the Building or the Property,
as well
as their respective members, officers, employees, agents, authorized
representatives and invitees, with respect to any claims including, but not
limited to, claims for injury to any persons, and/or damage to the Leased
Premises and/or any fixtures, equipment, personal property, furniture,
improvements and/or alterations in or to the Leased Premises, which are caused
by or result from (a) risks or damages required to be insured against under
this
Lease, or (b) risks and damages which are insured against by insurance policies
maintained by Tenant from time to time. Tenant shall obtain for
Landlord from its insurers under each policy required by this Lease a waiver
of
all rights of subrogation which such insurers of Tenant might otherwise have
against Landlord.
12. LANDLORD'S
RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT OBLIGATIONS
All
covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms
of
this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense
and
without any abatement of Monthly Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Monthly Basic Rent,
required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act
on
its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for five
(5)
days after notice thereof by Landlord (or such shorter period of time as
may be
reasonable following oral notice to Tenant's personnel in the Leased Premises),
Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) without waiving or releasing
Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations, make any such payment or perform
any
such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and
all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the greater
of
(a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (b) the rate of interest per annum
publicly announced, quoted or published, from time to time, by Bank of America,
at its Phoenix, Arizona office as its "reference rate" plus four (4) percentage
points, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursement in
full by
Tenant (the "Default Rate"), shall be payable to Landlord as Additional
Rent with the next monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent; provided, however,
in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted
by
applicable law.
13. DEFAULT
AND REMEDIES
13.1 Event
of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events will constitute an "Event of Default" on the part of Tenant:
(a) Failure
to pay any installment of Monthly Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any
other
sum required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, and such failure shall
continue for five (5) days;
(b) Failure
to perform any of the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required
to
observe and perform (except failure in the payment of Monthly Basic Rent,
Additional Rent or any other monetary obligation contained in this Lease)
and
such failure shall continue for fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period
of
time as may be specified by Landlord in the event of an emergency) after
written
notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, provided that if such default is other
than the payment of money and cannot be cured within such fifteen (15) day
period, then an Event of Default
shall not have occurred if Tenant, within such fifteen (15) day period,
commences to cure such failure and diligently in good faith prosecutes the
same
to completion and furnishes evidence thereof to Landlord within thirty (30)
days
thereafter;
12
EXHIBIT
10.1 - continued
(c) If

Tenant;
(e) Failure
to conduct business operations within the Leased Premises for five (5)

for a
period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof;
(h) The
filing of any petition by or against Tenant or any Guarantor to declare Tenant

forty
five (45) days after the date of filing;

Tenant or any Guarantor shall be declared insolvent according to
law;

any
of their respective property, which appointment is not discharged within
forty
five (45) days after he date of filing;
(m) The
filing by Tenant or any Guarantor of a voluntary petition pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto or the filing of an involuntary

days after the date of filing; or
(n) The
occurrence of an Event of Default or other breach by Tenant under the other
provisions of this Lease.
13.2 Remedies. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease by Tenant, Landlord
may,
without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to a landlord
at
law, in equity or by statute, Landlord may exercise one or more of the following
remedies, all of which shall be construed and held to be cumulative and
non-exclusive: (a) Terminate this Lease and re-enter and take possession
of the
Leased Premises, in which event, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs,
redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased Premises as may
be
necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in good faith for
the
purposes of reletting the Leased Premises and the costs and expenses incurred
in
respect of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and the expenses
of
such reletting (including brokerage commissions) shall be paid by Tenant
to
Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of Landlord's statement; or (b)
Without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession of the Leased
Premises; or (c) Without such re-entry, recover possession of the Leased
Premises in the manner prescribed by any statute relating to summary process,
and any demand for Monthly Basic Rent, re-entry for condition broken, and
any
and all notices to quit, or other formalities of any nature to which Tenant
may
be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted by law;
or
(d) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Leased Premises
as Landlord may see fit without thereby avoiding or terminating this Lease,
and
for the purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs,
redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased Premises as may
be
necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in good faith for
the
purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not realized from such
reletting (after payment of all costs and expenses of such repairs, redecorating
and refurbishments and expenses of such reletting (including brokerage
commissions) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom) each month to
equal
the Monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, then Tenant
shall
pay such deficiency each month within five (5) days after receipt of Landlord's
statement; or (e) Landlord may declare immediately due and payable all the
remaining installments of Monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent, and such
amount, less the amount Tenant proves, if any, could reasonably expect to
be
recovered by Landlord through the releasing of the Leased Premises for the
remainder of the Lease Term, shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) days
after
receipt of Landlord's statement. Landlord shall not by re-entry or
any other act, be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the liability
of
Tenant for the total Monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder
or for any installment thereof then due or thereafter accruing, or for damages,
unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord has so elected to
terminate this Lease. After the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the acceptance of Monthly Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or the failure to
re-enter by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord's right
to
thereafter terminate this Lease and exercise any other rights and remedies
available to it, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased
Premises as if no Monthly Basic Rent or Additional Rent had been accepted
after
the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default,
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord,
including court costs and attorneys' fees, in retaking or otherwise obtaining
possession of the Leased Premises, removing and storing all equipment, fixtures
and personal property on the Leased Premises and otherwise enforcing any
of
Landlord's rights, remedies or recourses arising as a result of an
Event of Default.
13
EXHIBIT
10.1 - continued
13.3 Additional
Remedies. All of the remedies given to Landlord in this Lease in
the event Tenant commits an Event of Default are in addition to all other
rights
or remedies available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute, including,
without limitation, the right to seize and sell all goods, equipment and
personal property of Tenant located in the Leased Premises and apply the
proceeds thereof to all due and unpaid Monthly Basic Rent, Additional Rent
and
other amounts owing under the Lease. All rights, options and remedies
available to Landlord shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no
one
of them shall be exclusive of the other. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, all rights, privileges and contingencies which may be
exercised by Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, options
to
renew, extend and expand, as well as relocation rights, contraction rights
and
any other rights which may be exercised by Tenant during the Lease Term,
shall
be void and of no further force and effect.
13.4 Interest
on Past Due Amounts. In addition to the late charge described
in Article 14 below, if any installment of Monthly Basic Rent or
Additional Rent is not paid promptly when due, it shall bear interest at
the
Default Rate; provided, however, this provision shall not relieve Tenant
from
any default in the making of any payment at the time and in the manner required
by this Lease; and provided, further, in no event shall the Default Rate
exceed
the maximum rate (if any) permitted by applicable law.
13.5 Landlord
Default. In the event Landlord should neglect or fail to perform
or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in this
Lease on its part to be performed or observed, and such failure continues
for
thirty (30) days after written notice of default (or if more than thirty
(30)
days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord
shall
fail to commence the curing of such default within such thirty (30) day period
and proceed diligently thereafter), then Landlord shall be responsible to
Tenant
for any actual damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's breach,
but
not special or consequential damages. Should Tenant give written
notice to Landlord to correct any default, Tenant shall give similar notice
to
the holder of any mortgages or deeds of trust against the Building or the
lessor
of any ground lease, and prior to any cancellation of this Lease, the holder
of
such mortgage or deed of trust and/or the lessor under such ground lease
shall
be given a reasonable period of time to correct or remedy such
default. If and when such holder of such mortgage or deed of trust
and/or the lessor under any such ground lease has made performance on behalf
of
Landlord, the default of Landlord shall be deemed cured.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions in this Lease, any claim which Tenant may have against
Landlord for failure to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions
or
conditions contained in this Lease shall be deemed waived unless such claim
is
asserted by written notice thereof to Landlord within ten (10) days of
commencement of the alleged default or occurrence of the cause of action
and
unless suit be brought thereon within six (6) months subsequent to the
occurrence of such cause of action. Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Lease, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this
Lease.
14
EXHIBIT
10.1 - continued
14. LATE
PAYMENTS
Tenant
hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any
installment of Monthly Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sums
due
hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the
exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to
ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to processing,
administrative and accounting costs. Accordingly, if any installment
of Monthly Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant
shall not be received by Landlord within five business (5) days
after the date when due, Tenant shall pay to ]Landlord a late charge equal
to
five percent (5%) of such overdue amount or Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars
($200.00), whichever is greater. Tenant acknowledges that such late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will
incur by reason of late payments by Tenant. Neither assessment nor
acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to
Landlord. Nothing contained in this Article 14 shall be deemed
to condone, authorize, sanction or grant to Tenant an option for the late
payment of Monthly Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due
hereunder.
15. ABANDONMENT
AND SURRENDER
15.1 Abandonment. Tenant
shall not vacate or abandon the Leased Premises at any time during the Lease
Term. No act or thing done by Landlord or by any agent or employee of
Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender
of
the Leased Premises unless such acceptance is expressed in writing and duly
executed by Landlord. Unless Landlord so agrees in writing, the
delivery of the key to the Leased Premises to any employee or agent of Landlord
shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or as a surrender of the
Leased
Premises.
15.2 Surrender. Tenant
shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, peaceably
surrender the Leased Premises, including any Tenant Improvements and Tenant's
improvements and/or alterations installed pursuant to Article 7.2, in a
janitorial clean condition and otherwise in as good condition as when Tenant
took possession, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear subsequent to the
last
repair, replacement, restoration, alteration or renewal; (ii) loss by fire
or
other casualty, and (iii) loss by condemnation. If Tenant shall
abandon, vacate or surrender the Leased Premises, or be dispossessed by process
of law or otherwise, any personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant
and
left in the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned and, at Landlord's
option,
title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a xxxx of
sale. Landlord may, however, if it so elects, remove all or any part
of such personal property from the Leased Premises and the costs incurred
by
Landlord in connection with such removal, including storage costs and the
cost
of repairing any damage to the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property
caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) days after
receipt of Landlord's statement. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys to
the
Leased Premises and shall inform Landlord of the combination of any vaults,
locks and safes left on the Leased Premises. The obligations of
Tenant under this article 15.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against
any loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the
Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
Tenant founded on such delay. Tenant shall give written notice to
Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Leased Premises
for the
express purpose of arranging a meeting with Landlord for a joint inspection
of
the Leased Premises. In the event of Tenant's failure to give such
notice or to participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's inspection
at or
after Tenant's vacation of the Leased Premises shall be conclusively deemed
correct for purposes of determining Tenant's liability for repairs and
restoration hereunder.

16. INDEMNIFICATION
AND EXCULPATION
16.1 Indemnification. Tenant
shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against,
and shall be responsible for, all claims, damages, losses, costs, liens,
encumbrances, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys',
accountants' and investigators' fees and court costs (collectively, the
"Claims"), however caused, arising in whole or in part from Tenant's use
of all
or any part of the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property or the
conduct of Tenant's business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted
or suffered by Tenant or by any invitee, servant, agent, employee or subtenant
of Tenant in the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property, and shall
further indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against,
and shall be responsible for, all Claims arising in whole or in part from
any
breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to
be
performed under the terms of this Lease or arising in whole or in part from
any
act, neglect, fault or omission by Tenant or by any invitee, servant, agent,
employee or subtenant of Tenant anywhere in the Leased Premises, the Building
and/or the Property. In case any action or proceeding is brought
against Landlord to which this indemnification shall be applicable, Tenant
shall
pay all Claims resulting therefrom and shall defend such action or proceeding,
if Landlord shall so request, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The obligations of Tenant under
this Article 16.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this
Lease.
16.2 Exculpation. Tenant,
as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk
of
damage to property, injury and death to persons and all claims of any other
nature resulting from Tenant's use of all or any part of the Leased Premises,
the Building and/or the Property, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in
respect
thereof against Landlord. Neither Landlord nor its agents or
employees shall be liable for any damaged property of Tenant entrusted to
any
employee or agent of Landlord or for loss of or damage to any property of
Tenant
by theft or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or
damage to persons or property resulting from any cause, including, but not
limited to, fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, sewage,
odor, noise, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or
from
the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein, or from the roof of any
structure on the Property, or from any streets or subsurfaces on or adjacent
to
the Building or the Property, or from any other place or resulting from dampness
or any other causes whatsoever, unless caused solely by the gross negligence
or
wilful misconduct of Landlord. Neither Landlord nor its employees or
agents shall be liable for any defects in the Leased Premises, the Building
and/or the Property, nor shall Landlord be liable for the negligence or
misconduct, including, but not limited to, criminal acts, by maintenance
or
other personnel or contractors serving the Leased Premises, the Building
and/or
the Property, other tenants or third parties, unless Landlord is grossly
negligent or guilty of willful misconduct. All property of Tenant
kept or stored on the Property shall be so kept or stored at the risk of
Tenant
only, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from
and
against, and shall be responsible for, any Claims arising out of damage to
the
same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, unless
such
damage shall be caused by the willful act or gross neglect of Landlord and
through no fault of Tenant. None of the events or conditions set
forth in this Article 16 shall be deemed a constructive or actual eviction
or
result in a termination of this Lease, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any
abatement or reduction of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent by reason
thereof. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord with respect to
any defects, fires or accidents which Tenant observes in the Leased Premises,
the Building and/or the Property.
17. ENTRY
BY
LANDLORD
Landlord
reserves and shall at any and all times have the right to enter the Leased
Premises, to inspect the same, to supply janitorial service and other services
to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit the Leased Premises
to
prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility,
and to alter, improve or repair the Leased Premises and any portion of the
Building of which the Leased Premises are a part, without abatement of Monthly
Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding
and
other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of
the
work to be performed, always providing that access into the Leased Premises
shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of
Tenant
shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any
claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with
Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Leased
Premises or any loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid
purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to
unlock
all the doors in, upon or about the Leased Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults
and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may deem proper to open such doors in an emergency in order to obtain
entry to the Leased Premises, and any entry to the Leased Premises obtained
by
Landlord by any such means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances
be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer
of, the Leased Premises or an eviction of Tenant from all or any portion
of the
Leased Premises. Nothing in this Article 17 shall be construed
as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or maintenance
except
as otherwise expressly required elsewhere in this Lease.

of Landlord Required. Tenant shall not transfer or assign this
Lease or any right or interest hereunder, or sublet the Leased Premises or
any
part thereof, without first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No
transfer or assignment (whether voluntary or involuntary) or subletting shall
be
valid or effective without such prior written consent. Should Tenant
attempt to make or allow to be made any such transfer, assignment or subletting,
except as aforesaid, and in any of the foregoing events Landlord may, at
its
option, treat such act as an Event of Default by Tenant. Should
Landlord consent to a transfer, assignment or subletting, such consent shall
not
constitute a waiver of any of the restrictions or prohibitions of this Article
19, and such restrictions or prohibitions shall apply to each successive
transfer, assignment or subletting hereunder, if any.
19.2 Deemed
Not To Be A Transfer. For the purposes of this
Article 19, it is understood and agreed by Landlord that the
Tenant is a public company and that the acquisition of all or a part of the
stock of Tenant by another person or entity, public or private, or the merger
of
Tenant into another company, public or private, shall not be considered to
be an
unpermitted transfer and shall not require the prior written consent of
Landlord, In any such event, Tenant will provide Landlord notice of such
merger
or acquisition.
19.3 Delivery
of Information. If Tenant wishes at any time to assign this Lease
or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify
Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord (a)
the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, (b) the nature of the proposed
subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in the Leased Premises;
(c)
the terms and the provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment; and
(d)
such financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning
the
proposed subtenant or assignee. Tenant's failure to comply with the
provisions of this Article 19.3 shall entitle Landlord to withhold its
consent to the proposed assignment or subletting.
19.4 Recapture. If
Tenant shall, without Landlord’s consent, assign its interst in
this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, Landlord may,
at
its option, upon written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's receipt of the information specified in Article 19.3 above, elect
to
recapture all of the Leased Premises, and within sixty (60) days after notice
of
such election has been given to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate.
If the Leased Premises are recaptured by Landlord pursuant to this
Article 19.4, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord a
termination agreement setting forth the termination date with respect to
the
Leased Premises or the recaptured portion thereof, and prorating the Monthly
Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder to such
date, in such event the Landlord shall reimburse the unamortized portion
of the initial Tenant Improvements. If Landlord does not
elect to recapture as set forth above, Tenant may thereafter enter into a
valid
assignment or sublease with respect to the Leased Premises, provided that
Landlord consents thereto pursuant to this Article 19, and provided further,
that (a) such assignment or sublease is executed within ninety (90) days
after
Landlord has given its consent, (b) Tenant pays all amounts then owed to
Landlord under this Lease, (c) there is not in existence an Event of Default
as
of the effective date of the assignment or sublease, (d) there have been
no
material changes with respect to the financial condition of the proposed
subtenant or assignee or the business such party intends to conduct in the
Leased Premises, and (e) a fully executed original of such assignment or
sublease providing for an express assumption by the assignee or subtenant
of all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease is promptly delivered
to
Landlord.

19.5 Adjustment
to Rental. In the event Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease
or Sublets the Leased Premises, the Monthly Basic Rent set
forth in Article 1. 12 above, as adjusted, shall be increased effective
as of the date of such assignment or subletting to the rent and other
consideration payable by any such assignee or sublessee pursuant to such
assignment or sublease if such assignee or sublessee is paying rent in excess
of
the Monthly Basic Rent as adjusted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event shall the Monthly Basic Rent after any such assignment or subletting
be
less than the Monthly Basic Rent specified in Article 1. 12 above, as
adjusted.
19.6 No
Release from Liability. Landlord may collect Monthly Basic Rent
and Additional Rent from the assignee, subtenant, occupant or other transferee,
and apply the amount so collected, first to the installments of Monthly Basic
Rent, then to any Additional Rent and other sums due and payable to Landlord,
and the balance, if any, to Landlord, but no such assignment, subletting,
occupancy, transfer or collection shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's
rights
under this Article 19, or the acceptance of the proposed assignee,
subtenant, occupant or transferee. Notwithstanding any assignment,
sublease or other transfer (with or without the consent of Landlord), Tenant
shall remain primarily liable under this Lease and shall not be released
from
performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease.
19.7 Landlord's
Expenses. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or
other transfer by Tenant of all or any portion of Tenant's interest under
this
Lease, Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord, a transfer fee in
an
amount not less than Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) to reimburse
Landlord for administrative expenses and for legal, accounting and other
out of
pocket expenses incurred by Landlord.
19.8 Assumption
Agreement. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or
other transfer by Tenant of all or any portion of Tenant's interest under
this
Lease, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, and cause the transferee
to
execute and deliver to Landlord, an instrument in the form and substance
acceptable to Landlord in which (a) the transferee adopts this Lease and
assumes
and agrees to perform, jointly and severally with Tenant, all of the obligations
of Tenant hereunder, (b) Tenant acknowledges that it remains primarily liable
for the payment of Monthly Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other obligations
under this Lease, (c) Tenant subordinates to Landlord's statutory lien, contract
lien and security interest, any liens, security interests or other rights
which
Tenant may claim with respect to any property of transferee and (d) the
transferee agrees to use and occupy the Leased Premises solely for the purpose
specified in Article 20 and otherwise in strict accordance with this
Lease.

Leased Premises are leased to Tenant solely for the Permitted Use set forth
in
Article 1.9 above and for no other purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall
not use or occupy or permit the Leased Premises to be used or occupied, nor
shall Tenant do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises
nor bring or keep anything therein which will in any way increase the existing
rate of or affect any casualty or other insurance on the Building or the
Property, or any of their respective contents, or make void or voidable or
cause
a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or the Property,
or
any part thereof or any of their respective contents. Tenant shall
not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, the
Building and/or the Property which will in any way obstruct or interfere
with
the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or the Property
or
injure or annoy them. Tenant shall not use or allow the Leased
Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or
about
the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property. In addition,
Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the
Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property. Tenant shall not
use the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property or permit anything
to
be done in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property
which
will in any way conflict with any matters of record, or any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter
be enacted or promulgated, and shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
comply with all matters of record and all laws, statutes, ordinances and
governmental rules, regulations and requirements now in force or which may
hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any Board of Fire
Underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, foreseen
or
unforeseen, ordinary as well as extraordinary, relating to or affecting the
condition, use or occupancy of the Property, excluding structural changes
not
relating to or affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. The
judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant
in
any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that
Tenant has violated any matters of record, or any law, statute, ordinance
or
governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that
fact
between Landlord and Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall not place a
load upon any floor of the Leased Premises which exceeds the load per square
foot which the floor was designed to carry, nor shall Tenant install business
machines or other mechanical equipment in the Leased Premises which cause

20.2 Rubbish
Removal. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises clean, both inside
and outside, subject, however, to Landlord's obligation as set forth in
Article 7.3 above. Tenant shall not burn any materials or
rubbish of any description upon the Leased Premises. Tenant shall
keep all accumulated rubbish in covered containers. In the event
Tenant fails to keep the Leased Premises in the proper condition, Landlord
may
cause the same to be done for Tenant and Tenant shall pay the expenses incurred
by Landlord on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate, as Additional
Rent. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all

municipal governments, departments, commissions and boards regarding the
collection, sorting, separation, and recycling of waste products, garbage,
refuse and trash. Tenant shall sort and separate such waste products,
garbage, refuse and trash into such categories as provided by
law. Each separately sorted category of waste products, garbage,
refuse and trash shall be placed in separate receptacles reasonably approved
by
Landlord. Such separate receptacles may, at Landlord's option, be
removed from the Leased Premises in accordance with a collection schedule
prescribed by law. Landlord reserves the right to refuse to collect
or accept from Tenant any waste products, garbage, refuse or trash that is
not
separated and sorted as required by law, and to require Tenant to arrange
for
such collection at Tenant's sole cost and expense using a contractor
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses,
fines, penalties or damages that may be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by
reason
of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 20.2,

Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees harmless (including legal fees
and
expenses) from and against, and shall be responsible for, all actions, claims,
liabilities and suits arising from such noncompliance, utilizing counsel

21. SUBORDINATION
AND ATTORNMENT
21.1 Subordination. This
Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall be, at the option of Landlord,
subordinate to (a) all matters of record, (b) all ground leases, overriding
leases and underlying leases (collectively referred to as the "leases") of
the
Building or the Property now or hereafter existing, (c) all mortgages and
deeds
of trust (collectively referred to as the "mortgages") which may now or
hereafter encumber or affect the Building or the Property, and (d) all renewals,
modifications, amendments, replacements and extensions of leases and mortgages
and to spreaders and consolidations of the mortgages, whether or not leases
or
mortgages shall also cover other lands, buildings or leases. The
provisions of this Article 21.1 shall be self-operative and no further
instruments of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of
such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver
any
instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any lease or the holder of any
mortgage or any of their respective assigns or successors in interest may
reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to which
this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a "Superior Lease" and
the lessor under a Superior Lease or its assigns or successors in interest
is
called a "Superior Lessor". Any mortgage to which this Lease
is subject and subordinate is called a "Superior Mortgage" and the holder
of a Superior Mortgage is called a "Superior Mortgagee". If
Landlord, a Superior Lessor or a Superior Mortgagee requires that such
instruments be executed by Tenant, Tenant's failure to do so within ten (10)
days after request therefor shall be deemed an Event of Default under this
Lease. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease because of any
foreclosure proceedings. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Landlord (and any successor Landlord) as Tenant's attorney-in-fact,
with full power of substitution coupled with an interest, to execute and
deliver
to any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee any documents required to be
executed by Tenant for and on behalf of Tenant if Tenant shall have failed
to do
so within ten (10) days after request therefore.

21.2 Attornment. If
any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee (or any purchaser at a foreclosure
sale) succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through
possession or foreclosure action, or the delivery of a new lease or deed
(a
"Successor Landlord"), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such
Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly
execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably
request to evidence such attornment.
22. ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATE
Tenant
shall, whenever requested by Landlord, within ten (10) days after written
request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement
in
writing certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect, (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the dates
to

provide such other information and facts Landlord may reasonably
require. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective or
existing purchaser, ground lessee or mortgagee of all or any portion of the
Property, as well as by any other assignee of Landlord's interest in this
Lease. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time
shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and
effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (ii) that
there
are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance hereunder; (iii) that Tenant
has paid to Landlord the Security Deposit; (iv) that not more than one month's

Additional Rent and other charges are as set forth therein and (viii) that
the
other information and facts set forth therein are true and correct.
23. SIGNS
Landlord
shall retain absolute control over the exterior appearance of the Building

advertising, or any items that will in any way, in the sole opinion of Landlord,
adversely alter the exterior appearance of the Building or the exterior
appearance of the Leased Premises as viewed from the exterior of the
Building. In no event may Tenant utilize trucks, automobiles or other
vehicles on the Property for signage purposes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, letters
or
numerals at or near the entryway to the Leased Premises provided Tenant obtains
Landlord's prior written consent as to size, color, design and
location. All such letters or numerals shall be in accordance with

Building directory, if any; provided, however, any additions, deletions or
other

than twenty-four (24) hours shall be allowed without Landlord's prior written
consent. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be
liable for damage, loss or theft of property or injury to persons in, upon

advisable for the proper operation and maintenance of the Parking
Accommodations, including, without limitation, designation of particular

for reserved, visitor and/or employee parking, and establishment of a reasonable
rental charge for the use of the Parking Accommodations by tenants of
the Building and/or the general public, as a part of the Rules and Regulations
of the Building referenced in Article 31 hereof.
24.2 Parking. Tenant
is hereby allocated the number of parking spaces designated in Article
1.16 hereof, entitling Tenant to park in the Parking Accommodations as
designated by Landlord from time to time for use by Tenant, its employees
and
licensees.
25. LIENS
Tenant
shall keep the Leased Premises free and clear of all mechanic's and
materialmen's liens. If, because of any act or omission (or alleged
act or omission) of Tenant, any mechanics', materialmen's or other lien,
charge
or order for the payment of money shall be filed or recorded against the
Leased
Premises, the Property or the Building, or against any other property of
Landlord (whether or not such lien, charge or order is valid or enforceable
as
such), Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause the same to be canceled or
discharged of record within thirty (30) days after Tenant shall have received
written notice of the filing thereof, or Tenant may, within such thirty (30)
day
period, furnish to Landlord, a bond pursuant to A.R.S. §33-1004 (or any
successor statute) and satisfactory to Landlord and all Superior Lessors

thereof.
26. HOLDING
OVER
It
is
agreed that the date of termination of this Lease and the right of Landlord
to
recover immediate possession of the Leased Premises thereupon is an important
and material matter affecting the parties hereto and the rights of third
parties, all of which have been specifically considered by Landlord and
Tenant. In the event of any continued occupancy or holding over of
the Leased Premises without the express written consent of Landlord beyond
the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or of Tenants right to occupy
the Leased Premises, whether in whole or in part, or by leaving property
on the
Leased Premises or otherwise, this Lease shall be deemed a monthly tenancy
and
Tenant shall pay two (2) times the greater of (a) Monthly Basic Rent then
in
effect, or (b) the then prevailing monthly rental rate within the Building,
in
advance at the beginning of the hold-over month(s), plus any Additional Rent
or
other charges or payments contemplated in this Lease, and any other costs,
expenses, damages, liabilities and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord on
account of Tenant's holding over.

shall pay to Landlord all amounts for costs (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any breach or default by Tenant

addition, if any action shall be instituted by either of the parties hereto
for
the enforcement or interpretation of any of their respective rights or remedies
in or under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
from
the losing party all costs incurred by the prevailing party in such action
and
any appeal therefrom, including reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by
the
court. Further, should Landlord be made a party to any litigation
between Tenant and any third party, then Tenant shall pay all costs and
attorneys' fees incurred by or imposed upon Landlord in connection with such
litigation.

the
Building systems) as may be necessary or desirable for the operation,
improvement, safety, protection or preservation of the Leased Premises or
the
Building, or in order to comply with all laws, orders and requirements of

DOMAIN
29.1 Taking. If
the whole of the Building is lawfully and permanently taken by condemnation
or
any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, or by deed in lieu
thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title in
such
condemning authority and the Monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall
be pro
rated to such date. If any part of the Building or Property is so
taken, or if the whole of the Building is taken, but not permanently, then
this
Lease shall be unaffected thereby, except that (a) Landlord may terminate
this
Lease by notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of vesting
of
title in the condemning authority, and (b) if twenty percent (20%) or more
of
the Leased Premises shall be permanently taken and the remaining portion
of the
Leased Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue
operation of its business, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord
within ninety (90) days after the date of vesting of title in such condemning
authority. This Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day

and
surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. The Monthly Basic Rent and
Additional Rent shall be pro rated to the earlier of the termination of this
Lease or such date as Tenant is required to vacate the Leased Premises by
reason
of the taking. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of a
partial taking of the Leased Premises, the Monthly Basic Rent and Additional
Rent shall be equitably adjusted according to the rentable area of the Leased
Premises and Building remaining.
29.2 Award. In
the event of a taking of all or any part of the Building or the Property,
all of
the proceeds or the award, judgment, settlement or damages payable by the
condemning authority, except an amount equal to not less than the
unamortized portion of tenant improvements initially installed by
Tenant, shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of
Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest
in and
to any such award, judgment, settlement or damages to Landlord;
provided, Landlord shall, immediately upon receipt of such payment, remit
to
Tenant a sum equal to the unamortized portion of Tenant’s
improvements. Tenant shall, however, have the right, to the
extent that the same shall not reduce or prejudice amounts available to
Landlord, to claim from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord,
such
compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation
benefits, moving expenses, and damage to Tenant's personal property and trade
fixtures.

service or deposited with the United States Postal Service or a successor
agency, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage
pre-paid, addressed as set forth in the Basic Provisions, or at such other
address as a party may from time to time designate by notice
hereunder. Notice shall be effective upon delivery. The
inability to deliver a notice because of a changed address of which no notice
was given or a rejection or other refusal to accept any notice shall be deemed
to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver
or
rejection or refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by Landlord
may be given by the legal counsel and/or the authorized agent of
Landlord.

Regulations are imposed to enhance the cleanliness, appearance, maintenance,
order and use of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Property, and
the
proper enjoyment of the Building and the Property by all tenants and their
clients, customers and employees. The Rules and Regulations may be
changed from time to time upon ten (10) days notice to Tenant. Breach
of the Rules and Regulations, by Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default
if
such breach is not fully cured within ten (10) days after written notice
to
Tenant by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for
nonperformance by any other tenant, occupant or invitee of the Building or
the
Property of any Rules or Regulations.

32. ACCORD
AND
SATISFACTION
No
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly
installment of Monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent (jointly called "Rent"
in
this Article 32), shall be deemed to be other than on account of the
earliest stipulated Rent due and not yet paid, nor shall any endorsement
or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as
Rent
be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check
or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of
such
Rent or to pursue any other remedy in this Lease. No receipt of money
by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease, after the service
of any notice relating to the termination of this Lease, after the commencement
of any suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Leased Premises,
shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any such notice,
demand, suit or judgment.
33. BANKRUPTCY
OF TENANT
33.1 Chapter
7. If a petition is filed by, or an order for relief is entered
against Tenant under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and the trustee of
Tenant
elects to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it, the election
or
assignment, or both, may be made only if all of the terms and conditions
of
Articles 33.2 and 33.4 below are satisfied. If the trustee
fails to elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it within
sixty
(60) days after appointment, this Lease will be deemed to have been
rejected. To be effective, an election to assume this Lease must be
in writing and addressed to Landlord and, in Landlord's business judgment,
all
of the conditions hereinafter stated, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
to
be commercially reasonable, must have been satisfied. Landlord shall
then immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further
obligation to Tenant or the trustee, and this Lease will be
terminated. Landlord's right to be compensated for damages in the
bankruptcy proceeding, however, shall survive.
33.2 Chapters
11 and 13. If Tenant files a petition for reorganization under
Chapters 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code or a proceeding that is filed by
or
against Tenant under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is converted
to a
Chapter 11 or 13 proceeding and Tenant's trustee or Tenant as a

court costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding
filed by or against Tenant.

agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Property; or
(2) Disrupt,
in Landlord's judgment, the tenant mix of the Building or any other attempt
by
Landlord to provide a specific variety of Tenants in the Building that, in
Landlord's judgment, would be most beneficial to all of the tenants of the
Building and would enhance the image, reputation, and profitability of the
Building.
(e) For
purposes of this Article 33.2 "adequate assurance" means
that:
(1) Landlord
will determine that the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has, and will
continue to have, sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all
secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the
trustee or the debtor-in-possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill
Tenant's obligations under this Lease and to keep the Leased Premises properly
staffed with sufficient employees to conduct a fully operational, actively
promoted business on the Leased Premises; and
(2) An
order will have been entered segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord
and/or a valid and perfected first lien and security interest will have been
granted in property of Tenant, trustee, or debtor-in-possession that is
acceptable for value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation

Right to Terminate. In the event that this Lease is assumed by a

all
Tenant's rights under it, by giving written notice of Landlord's election
to
terminate.
33.4 Assignment
by Trustee. If the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has
assumed the Lease, under the terms of Article 33.1 or 33.2 above, and
elects to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease or the estate created
by
that interest to any other person, that interest or estate may be assigned
only
if Landlord acknowledges in writing that the intended assignee has provided
adequate assurance, as defined in this Article 33.4, of future
performance of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease
to be
performed by Tenant.
33.5 Adequate
Assurance. For the purposes of this Article 33 "adequate
assurance of future performance" means that Landlord has ascertained that
each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

public accountant, that shows a net worth and working capital in amounts
determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance

requested by Landlord, the assignee will obtain guarantees, in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord from one or more persons who satisfy
Landlord's standards of creditworthiness;

is
obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of all
or part
of the Leased Premises, the charges will not be less than the Monthly Basic
Rent
and Additional Rent.
33.6 Consent
of Landlord. Neither Tenant's interest in the Lease nor any
estate of Tenant created in the Lease will pass to any trustee, receiver,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or
otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction
of
the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord consents in writing to the
transfer. Landlord's acceptance of Monthly Basic Rent or Additional
Rent or any other payments from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person,
or
other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the need to obtain
Landlord's consent or Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer
of Tenant's interest under this Lease without that consent.

the installation of the tenant improvements to be constructed in the Leased
Premises (the "Tenant Improvements"). The Work Schedule sets
forth each of the various items of work to be done in connection with the
completion of the Tenant Improvements and shall become the basis for completing
the Tenant Improvements. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree
that time is of the essence with respect to their respective obligations
as set
forth in this Work Letter. Tenant’s failure to perform the completion
of the installation of the tenant improvements within the time table shall
constitute an immediate event of default under the Lease.

done in the Leased Premises pursuant to the Tenant Improvements Plans described
in Paragraph 3 below.

for
the layout of the Premises. Based upon such space plan, the architect
shall prepare final working drawings and specifications for the Tenant

referred to in this Work Letter as the "Tenant Improvement
Plans." The architect shall be chosen by mutual agreement between
Landlord and Tenant to achieve the best work in the minimum amount of time
and
cost.
4. Preparation
of Tenant Improvement Plans and Final Pricing. After the
preparation of the space plan and after Tenant's approval thereof in accordance
with the Work Schedule, Tenant shall cause the architect to prepare and submit
to Landlord the Tenant Improvement Plans. Promptly after the approval
of the Tenant Improvement Plans by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with
the
Work Schedule, the Tenant Improvement Plans shall be submitted to the
appropriate governmental body for plan checking and building
permits. Tenant, with Landlord's cooperation, shall cause to be made
such changes in the Tenant Improvement Plans necessary to obtain required
permits.

Plans are being prepared and approved, and building permits for the Tenant
Improvements are being obtained, Tenant shall enter into a construction contract
with a contractor for the installation of the Tenant Improvements in accordance
with the Tenant Improvement Plans. The Tenant Improvements shall be
constructed in a good, workmanlike and lien free manner, and in conformance
with
applicable building codes. Tenant shall supervise the completion of
the Tenant Improvements and shall endeavor in good faith to secure the
completion of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Work
Schedule. All costs of the Tenant Improvements, including
architectural, engineering, and City permits shall be paid by
Tenant.

of Tenant Improvements by Tenant. To insure prompt and
full payments to the chosen contractor for the tenant improvements, Tenant
