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 TAX" shall
also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein,
imposed by reason of events occurring, or changes in Applicable 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, execution of
this Lease, or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or
not contemplated by the Parties.
(b) As used herein, the term "BASE REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall be the amount
of Real Property Taxes, which are assessed against Premises, Building or Common
Areas in the calendar year during which the Lease is executed. In calculating
Real Property Taxes for any calendar year, 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 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 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 lessee.

the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2,
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 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 respect
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 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, together with any taxes thereon. If any such utilities
or services are not separately metered to the Premises or separately billed to
Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable proportion, to be determined
by Lessor of all charges jointly metered or billed with other premises in
Building, in the manner and within the time periods set forth in Paragraph
4.2(d).
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively "assignment") 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 Paragraph
36.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment
requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change
in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series
of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, refinancing,
transfer, leveraged buy-out or-otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or
hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will
result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as hereinafter defined, by an
amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth of
Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the time of the execution by Lessor of
this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has
consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions
constituting such reduction, at whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or
is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which
Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent. "Net Worth of Lessee" for purposes
of this Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors)
established under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
(d) An assignment or subletting of Lessees interest in this Lease without
Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option, be 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 their (30) days
written notice ("LESSOR'S NOTICE"), increase the monthly Base Rent to fair
market rental value or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in
effect, whichever is greater. Pending determination of the new fair market
rental value, if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in
Lessor's Notice, with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s)
of Base Rent coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to
the effective date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the
determination thereof. Further, in the event such Breach and market value
adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held
by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value
(without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or any deduction for
depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises at its highest and
best use and in good condition), or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price
previously in effect, whichever is greater, (ii) any index-oriented rental or
price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to require
that the base Index be determined with reference to the index applicable to the
time of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental adjustments scheduled during
the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased in the same ratio as the new
market rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the market
value adjustment.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall
be limited to compensatory damages and injunctive relief.
12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting shall not:
(i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or
sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of
any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for
the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder or for the
performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from
any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment.
Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the
acceptance of any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by Lessee of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lease or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the subleasee. However,
Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignment of the sublease or
any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent, and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or
sublease.

(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantor or any one
else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor remedies against
any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any security held
by Lessor or Lessee.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in
writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the
financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed
assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or
required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable
deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current monthly Base Rent,
whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's considering and
processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such
other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of
accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each
and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than
such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.
(g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.2(g) shall
give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the Security
Deposit be increased to an amount equal to six (6) times the then monthly Base
Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the amount required to
establish such Security Deposit a condition to Lessor's consent to such
transaction.
(h) Lessor, as a condition to giving its consent to any assignment or
subletting, may require that the amount and adjustment structure of the rent
payable under this Lease be adjusted to what is then the market value and/or
adjustment structure for property similar to the Premises as then
constitutionally 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 Lessees obligations under this Lease;
provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) shall
occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee may,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents
accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other
assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of the collection of the
rents from a sublease, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any at Lessee's obligations to such sublessee
under such sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such
sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach
exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to
Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under the sublease.
Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor and shall
pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any obligation or right to
inquire as to whether such Breach exists and notwithstanding any notice from or
claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against
said sublessee or until the Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for any such
rents and other charges so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation
to do so, may required 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 sublessee to such sublessor or for any
other prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.
(c) Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by
Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee
within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall
have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such
Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is consulted
by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as hereinafter
defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence for legal
services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of Default and
that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said notice as
rent due and payable to cure said Default. A "DEFAULT" by Lessee is defined as a
failure by the Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the terms,
covenants, conditions, or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"BREACH" 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, 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

written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly executed
original form, If applicable) of (i) compliance with applicable law per
Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service contracts required
under Paragraph 7.1(b). (iii) the recission of an unauthorized assignment or
subletting per Paragraph 12.1(b), (iv) a Tenancy Statement per Paragraphs 16 or

(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 flied against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) me appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at me 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 Lessees 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 (5) is contrary to any applicable
law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect me validity
of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by
Lessee or any Guarantor of Lessee's obligations hereunder was materially false.
(g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is

such guaranty, (iii) a guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a
bankruptcy filing, (iv) a guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory breach basis,
and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event, to provide Lessor with written
alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the then existing
resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of
Lessee and the guarantors that existed at me time of execution of this Lease.
13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or obligation
of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee
(or in case of an emergency, without notice). Lessor may at its option (but
without obligation to do so). perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's
behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option,
may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to be made
only by cashier's check. in me 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 me 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 me 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 me 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 me
Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration
of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and that portion of the leasing
commission paid by Lessor applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The
worth at me time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the
prior sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rats
of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one
percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default
or Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under
this Paragraph. if termination of this Lease is obtained through me provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have me right to recover in such
proceeding me unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may
reserve therein the right to recover all or any pert 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 me case may be, given to Lessee under any
statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also
constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by
subparagraphs 13.1(b). (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period
under subparagraphs 13.1(b). (c) or (d) and under me unlawful detainer statute
shall run concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and the failure of
Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods
shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling
Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect (in
California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach and
abandonment and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. See
Paragraphs 12 and 36 for me limitations on assignment and subletting which
limitations Lessee and Lessor agree are reasonable. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or me appointment of a receiver to
protect the Lessor's interest under the Lease, shall not constitute a
termination of me Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the
laws or Judicial decisions of me state wherein the Premises are located.
(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of
Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any
indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during me
term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by Lessor for free
or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the giving or
paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or
consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions
are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions," shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Lessee
during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence of a
Breach of this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph 13.1, any such
Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an
Inducement Provision shall be Immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated me operation of this
Paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
acceptance.
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, me exact amount of which will be extremely difficult
to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and
accounting charges, and late charges which may be Imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within five (5) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge be Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.
13.5 BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor falls within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and by the holders of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for
such purpose, of 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 a on 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 land area not occupied
by any building, Is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be
exercised in writing within ten (10) days alter Lessor shall have given Lessee
written notice of such taking (or In the absence of such notice, within ten (10)
days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this
Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession, if Lessee
does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall
remain In full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining,
except that the Base Rent shall be reduced In the same proportion as the
rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable floor area
of the building located on the Premises. No reduction of Base Rent shall occur
if the only portion of the Premises taken Is land on which there Is no building.
Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of
eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power
shall be the properly of Lessor, whether such award shall be made in
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation separately awarded to Lessee for Lessees relocation expenses
and/or loss of Lessee's `Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease Is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its net
severance damages received, over and above the legal and other expenses incurred
by Lessor In the condemnation matter, repair any damage to the Premises caused
by such condemnation, except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall be responsible for the
payment of any amount In excess of such net severance damages required to
complete such repair.

15.1 PROCURING CAUSE. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are the

Paragraph 30.1) granted under this Lease or any Option subsequently granted, or
(b) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises in which
Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises
with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of the term of this Lease after
having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if said Brokers are the procuring
cause of any other lease or sale entered into between the Parties pertaining the
Premises and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or (e) if
Base rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalated clause

fee in accordance with the schedule of said Broker(s) in effect at the time of
the execution of this Lease.
15.3 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATION. Any buyer or transferee of Lessors 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 a third party beneficiary of the provisions 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
