3. Term.
3.1 Term. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of
this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2 Early Possession. If an Early Possession Date is specified in
Paragraph 1.4 and if Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises after the
Early Possession Date but prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay
Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All other
terms of this Lease, however (including but not limited to the obligations to
pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to carry the insurance
required by Paragraph 8), shall be in effect during such period. Any such early
possession
E-94
May 2, 1999
Page 5
shall not affect nor advance the Expiration Date of the Original
Term.
3.3 Delay in Possession. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee 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 after
the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further,
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise
provided, and regardless of when the Original 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 the period
during which the Lessee would have otherwise 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 pay Base Rent and other rent or charges, as
the same may be adjusted from time to time, to 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 full month shall be
prorated based upon the actual number of days of the 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. (See Addendum #1, Paragraph 49)
4.2 Common Area Operating Expenses. (See Addendum #1, Paragraph 50)
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's 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 therefore
deposit monies 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
E-95
May 2, 1999
Page 6
Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor as an addition to the Security
Deposit so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear
the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial Security
Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5. 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 monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease.
6. Use.
6.1 Permitted Use.
(a) Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only
for the Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other legal use which
is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use
or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates waste or
a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to the
Premises or neighboring premises or properties.
(b) Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably
withhold or delay its consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's
assignees or subtenants and by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee,
its assignees and subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long
as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the Improvements on the
Premises or in the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein,
does not conflict with uses by other lessees, is not significantly more
burdensome to the Premises or the Building 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 after such request 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 potential 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 or by-products
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in 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 Requirements (as
defined in Paragraph 6.3). "Reportable Use" shall mean (i) the installation or
use of any above or below

from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan
is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and (iii) the presence
in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any
Applicable Laws require 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 upon notice to Lessor and in compliance
with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials
reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal course of the Permitted
Use, 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 any Reportable Use of
any Hazardous Substance 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 therefor, including but not limited to
the installation (and, at Lessor's option, 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 has come to be
located in, on, under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as
previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written
notice thereof, together with 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 concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to,
such Hazardous Substance including but not limited to all such documents as may
be involved in any Reportable Use involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause
or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under or
about the Premises (including, without limitation, through the plumbing or
sanitary sewer system).
(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 damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of
permits and attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any
Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone
under Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) 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 consultants' and attorneys' 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, unless specifically so
agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.
6.3 Lessee's Compliance with Requirements. Lessee shall, at Lessee's

Premises, including soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use,
generation, manufacture, production, installation, maintenance, removal,

effect or which may hereafter come into effect. 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 Requirements specified by Lessor, and
shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any
documents involved) of any 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 Requirements.
6.4 Inspection; Compliance with Law. Lessor, Lessor's agents, employees,
contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any mortgages,
deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lenders") shall have the right
to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at
reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises
and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease and all Applicable
Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and Lessor shall be entitled to
employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith to advise Lessor with
respect to Lessee's activities, including but not limited to Lessee's
installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal of any
Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of any such
inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a Default or
Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a violation of Applicable Requirements or a
contamination, caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, is found to exist
or to 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 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.

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 be in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements. 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 $2,500.00 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.
(c) Lien Protection. 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 mechanic's or materialman'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 attorneys' fees and costs in
participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest
to do so.

7.4 Ownership, Removal, Surrender, and Restoration.
(a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to
require their removal and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as
hereinafter provided in this Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility
Installations 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 the Premises and be
surrendered with the Premises by Lessee.
(b) Removal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing,
Lessor may require that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility
Installations be removed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
notwithstanding that their installation may have been consented to by Lessor.
Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any 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, 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 deterioration that would have been
prevented by good maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its
obligations under this Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified herein,
the Premises, as surrendered, shall include the Alterations and Utility
Installations. The obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage
occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade
Fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, as well as the removal of any storage tank installed by or for
Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or remediation of any soil, material or
ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as may then be required by Applicable
Requirements and/or good practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures shall remain the
property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee subject to its obligation to
repair and restore the Premises per this Lease.
8. Insurance; Indemnity. (See Addendum #1, Paragraph 51)
8.2 Liability Insurance.
(a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability
policy of insurance protecting Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have
been provided to Lessee in writing (as additional insureds) against claims for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or
arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and
all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis
providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises"
endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" endorsement
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
E-101
May 2, 1999
Page 12
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. 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. (See
Addendum #1, Paragraph 51)
(a) Building and Improvements. Lessor 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 any Lender(s), insuring
against loss or damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full
replacement cost, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount
required by any Lender(s), 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. Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and
Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4.
If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, Lessor's 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
Building 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 loss,
but not including plate glass insurance. Said policy or policies shall also
contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance 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.
(b) Rental Value. Lessor shall also 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 any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the
full rental and other charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor
for 6 months (including all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common
Area Operating Expenses and any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may
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
co-insurance clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to
reflect the projected rental income, Real Property Taxes, insurance premium
costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise payable, for the next 12-month
period. Common Area Operating Expenses shall include any deductible amount in
the event of such loss.
E-102
May 2, 1999
Page 13
(c) Adjacent Premises. Lessee shall pay for any
increase in the premiums for the property insurance of the Building and for the
Common Areas or other buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is
caused by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(d) Lessee's Improvements. Since Lessor is the
Insuring Party, 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.
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, Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in
coverage to that carried by Lessor as the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a).
Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to
exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used
by Lessee for the replacement of personal property and the restoration of Trade
Fixtures and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request
from Lessor, Lessee 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, 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. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor,
within seven (7) days after the earlier of the Early Possession Date or the
Commencement Date, certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence
and amounts of, the insurance required under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such
policy shall be cancelable 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.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor 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 or damage to their 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. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.
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
E-103
May 2, 1999
Page 14
against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, costs, liens,
judgments, penalties, loss of permits, attorneys' and consultants' fees,
expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection 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. 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 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, 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
lessee of Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the provisions of any
other lease in the Industrial Center. 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 Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty
percent (50%) of the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of
the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
(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 fifty
percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures)
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. In addition, damage or
destruction to the Building, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building, the cost of
which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building) of the Building
E-104
May 2, 1999
Page 15
shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed to be Premises Total Destruction.
(c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, 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 Premises Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If 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. In the event, however, that there is a
shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that, by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the Premises, 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, Lessor 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 Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within such
ten (10) day period, and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, 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 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 repairs at Lessee's expense and this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect), 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
E-105
May 2, 1999
Page 16
knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to terminate this
Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date 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 such commitment from Lessee.
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 after 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
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 9.7.
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 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 (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage
in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs
on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10) days after Lessee's
receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii)
the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurances 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 such period, then this
Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 9.5.
9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.
(a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage
or (ii) Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally
responsible, the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if
any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or
condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but
not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph
8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses 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 damage, destruction, repair,
remediation or restoration.
E-106
May 2, 1999
Page 17
(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 the receipt of such
notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used
in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the
preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the
Premises, whichever occurs first.
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
Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but subject
to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) and 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 date 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 excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such
Hazardous Substance Condition to the extent required by Applicable Requirements,
over (b) 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 said commitment by Lessee. 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 after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or
assurance thereof within the time period specified above, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
9.8 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment
made by Lessee to Lessor and 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 Waiver of Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this
Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises
and the Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive
the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is inconsistent
herewith.
E-107

10. Real Property Taxes. (See Addendum #1, Paragraph 51)
10.1 Payment of Taxes. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2.
10.2 Real Property Tax Definition. 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 Industrial Center 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 Industrial Center or any portion thereof,
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
Industrial Center 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. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any calendar
year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included in
the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the
number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.
10.3 Additional Improvements. Common Area Operating Expenses shall not
include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
(See Addendum #1, Paragraph 51), the entirety of any increase in Real Property
Taxes if assessed solely by reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility
Installations placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
10.4 Joint Assessment. If the Building is not separately assessed, Real
Property Taxes allocated to the Building 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 assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as
may be reasonably available, Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good
faith, shall be conclusive.
10.5 Lessee's Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center. When
possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, 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 property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written
E-108
May 2, 1999
Page 19
statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. Utilities. Lessee shall pay directly for all utilities and services supplied
to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone, security,
gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such
utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or separately
billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable proportion to be
determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or billed with other
premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time periods set forth in
Paragraph (See Addendum #1, Paragraph 50).
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, "assign") 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 full execution and delivery 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, or a
non-curable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If
Lessor elects to treat such unconsented to assignment or subletting as a
non-curable 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 for the Premises to the greater of the then fair
market rental value of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Lessor or one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in effect. 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
E-109
May 2, 1999
Page 20
being due and payable immediately upon the determination thereof. Further, in
the event of such Breach and rental 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 as reasonably determined by Lessor
(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, (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
rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the adjustment
specified in Lessor's Notice.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of this
Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or
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, nor (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 for 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 assignee or 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 under this Lease or the
sublease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve
such persons from liability under this Lease or the sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of
Lessee's obligation under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of the
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any sublessee, without first
exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible
therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.
(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,
E-110
May 2, 1999
Page 21
together with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the
monthly Base Rent applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the subject
of the proposed assignment or sublease, 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 12.2(c) shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to
require that the Security Deposit be increased by an amount equal to six (6)
times the then monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by
Lessor of the Security Deposit increase a condition to Lessor's consent to such
transaction.
(h) Lessor, as a condition to giving its consent
to any assignment or subletting, may require that the amount and adjustment
schedule of the rent payable under this Lease be adjusted to what is then the
market value and/or adjustment schedule for property similar to the Premises as
then constituted, as determined by Lessor.
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 the foregoing provision 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 such sublessee, or, until the Breach
has been cured,
E-111
May 2, 1999
Page 22
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 under a sublease approved by
Lessor 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" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"Breach" by Lessee 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, and 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, Lessee's
Share of Common Area Operating Expenses, or any other monetary payment required
to be made by Lessee hereunder 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 Requirements per
E-112
May 2, 1999
Page 23
Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service contracts required
under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or
subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (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 13.1(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. Code 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
13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force
or effect, and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial
statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by
Lessee or any Guarantor, 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 assurances of 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
E-113
May 2, 1999
Page 24
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 own 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 any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
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 immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District
in which the Premises are located 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 13.2. 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 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 Subparagraph
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 Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period 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 (2) 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.
E-114
May 2, 1999
Page 25
(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 recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee
has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations.
Lessor and Lessee agree that the limitations on assignment and subletting in
this Lease 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 this 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 where 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 (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, 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 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph 13.3 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 deed of trust covering the
Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee
shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after
such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 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
E-115
May 2, 1999
Page 26
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 any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to
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 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 portion of
the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, 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 Premises. No reduction of Base
Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the
Premises. 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 of 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 Lessee's Share of the legal and
other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.

15.3 Assumption of Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation of
law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph
15. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions
of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its interest in any
commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right directly against
Lessor and its successors.
15.4 Representations and Warranties. Lessee and Lessor each represent
and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm,
broker or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other
than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in
connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to
indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against
liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed
broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of
the Indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
16. Tenancy and Financial Statements.
16.1 Tenancy Statement. 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 a form similar to the then most current "Tenant Statement" from 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 Financial Statement. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or
sell the Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee and all
Guarantors shall delivery 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. 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 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability
E-117
May 2, 1999
Page 28
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 ten (10) days following
the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date due at the prime
rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which the
Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the
maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential 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. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary
of the provisions of this Paragraph 22.
23. Notices.
23.1 Notice Requirements. 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 during normal business hours, 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.

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 or
facsimile confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy
is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday or a
Sunday or a 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 any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's consent
to, or approval of, any such 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 any 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 Default or Breach by Lessee of
any provision hereof. 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. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to two hundred percent
(200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such
expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
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,
E-119
May 2, 1999
Page 30
"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 pursuant to Paragraph 13.5. 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 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 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. Attorneys' 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) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' 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
attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee
schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably
incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses
incurred in 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. Broker(s) shall be intended
third party beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.
32. Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any
E-120
May 2, 1999
Page 31
time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the
purpose of showing to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making
such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Building, 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 eighty (180) 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 exterior of the Premises or
the Building, 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 so long as such signs are in a location designated by
Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage criteria
established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. 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 of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, including the roof, which do not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such
advertising signs.
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' and 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, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit
described in Paragraph 12.2(e), 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
E-121
May 2, 1999
Page 32
responding to Lessee's request. 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 impositions 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 Form of Guaranty. 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 such 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 required in
Paragraph 16.
37.2 Additional Obligations of Guarantor. It shall constitute a Default
of the Lessee under this Lease if any such Guarantor fails or refuses, upon
reasonable request by Lessor to give: (a) evidence of the due execution of the
guaranty called for by this Lease, including the authority of the Guarantor (and
of the party signing on Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on said
guaranty, and resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making of
such guaranty, together with a certificate of incumbency showing the signatures
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 Statement, or (d) written confirmation that the guaranty is still in
effect.
38. Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and
the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's
part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease.
39. Options.
39.1 Definition. As used in this Lease, the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to renew
this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other property of
Lessor; (b) the right of first refusal to lease the Premises or the right of
first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first refusal to lease other
property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other property of
Lessor; (c) the right to purchase the Premises, or the right of first refusal to
purchase the Premises, or the right of first offer to purchase the Premises, or
the right to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of the first
refusal to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first offer to
purchase other property of Lessor.
39.2 Options Personal to Original Lessee. Each Option granted to Lessee
in this Lease is personal to the original
E-122
May 2, 1999
Page 33
Lessee named in Paragraph 1.1 hereof, and cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily
assigned or exercised by any person or entity other than said original Lessee
while the original Lessee is in full and actual possession of the Premises and
without the intention of thereafter assigning or subletting. The Options, if
any, herein granted to Lessee are not assignable, either as a part of an
assignment of this Lease or separately or apart therefrom, and no Option may be
separated from this Lease in any manner, by reservation or otherwise.
39.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple Options
to extend or renew this Lease, a later option cannot be exercised unless the
prior Options to extend or renew this Lease have been validly exercised.
39.4 Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary: (i) during
the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under Paragraph
13.1 and continuing until the noticed Default is cured, or (ii) during the
period of time any monetary obligation due Lessor from Lessee is unpaid (without
regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii) during the time
Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to
Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1
during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the exercise of the
Option, whether or not the Defaults are cured.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 39.4(a).
(c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and
timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of
this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of Lessee
for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessor gives to
Lessee three (3) or more notices to separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1
during any twelve month period, whether or not the Defaults are cured, or (iii)
if Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.
40. Rules and Regulations. Lessee agrees that it will abide by, and keep and
observe all reasonable rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations") which
Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and
cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and unloading of vehicles and the
preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other occupants or
tenants of the Building and the Industrial Center and their invitees.
41. Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the Premises, Lessee,
its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties.
42. Reservations. Lessor reserves the right, from time to time, to grant,
without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of way, utility
raceways, and dedications that
E-123
May 2, 1999
Page 34
Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and
restrictions, so long as such easements, rights of way, utility raceways,
dedications, maps and restrictions do not reasonably interfere with the use of
the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested
by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or
restrictions.
43. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of
said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged
that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party to pay such sum or
any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much
thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this
Lease.
44. Authority. If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust, or general or
limited partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such
entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on its behalf. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after request by Lessor,
deliver to Lessor evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such authority.
45. Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and the
typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or
handwritten provisions.
46. Offer. Preparation of this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee or Lessor's
agent or Lessee's agent and submission of same to Lessee or Lessor shall not be
deemed an offer to lease. This Lease is not intended to be binding until
executed and delivered by all Parties hereto.
47. Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the
parties in interest at the time of the modification. The Parties shall amend
this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made to the
Base Rent or other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do not
materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such
reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
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.
48. Multiple Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if more
than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or Lessee, the
obligations of such multiple parties shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Lessor or Lessee.
