5. Landlord’s
Work.
Tenant
desires to modify and/or improve the Premises and Expansion Premises with
certain tenant improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) generally set forth in
the plan or description attached hereto as Schedule “One”. Schedule One may or
may not consist of finalized construction drawings, and if Schedule One does
not
consist of finalized construction drawings, Landlord and Tenant, in conjunction
with Landlord’s interior design architects, will prepare plans and schedules and
finalize construction drawings (collectively “Plans and Specifications”)
depicting the desired Tenant Improvements. The Plans and Specifications shall
contain sufficient detail and specificity to allow the planned Tenant
Improvements to be bid by applicable contractors. Landlord shall have approval
rights of all Plans and Specifications, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Subject
to the conditions set forth below, Landlord will provide Tenant with an
allowance up to but not exceeding $20,000 for improvements to the Premises
and
Expansion Premises requested by Tenant (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance").
The
Tenant Improvement Allowance is meant to be comprehensive to include but
not be
limited to all of Landlord’s costs and expenses associated with the Tenant
Improvements, including but not limited to preparation of the Plans and
Specifications, permitting fees, actual construction material and labor,
wiring
and cabling in and between the Premises and Expansion Premises (hereinafter
collectively “Total Construction Costs”). The Tenant Improvement Allowance is an
agreed upon maximum reimbursement from Landlord to Tenant of a portion of
the
Total Construction Costs, and Landlord does not represent or insure that
the
Tenant Improvement Allowance will cover the Total Construction Costs for
the
Tenant Improvements. Any portion of the Total Construction Costs that exceed
the
Tenant Improvement Allowance will be, at the election of Landlord, paid by
Tenant either to (i) Landlord, to the extent Landlord has paid or is obligated
to pay any portion of such amount, or (ii) to the provider of the goods or
services. Tenant hereby agrees to save and hold Landlord harmless from any
portion of the Total Construction Cost that exceeds the Tenant Improvement
Allowance. In the event Landlord is required to pay any portion of the Total
Construction Costs that exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, as and for
additional Rent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefore no later than
five
(5) days after receipt of an itemized invoice therefore.
All
Tenant Improvements shall be made and constructed in accordance with all
laws
and applicable codes, and shall be constructed by Landlord’s contractors
(minimum of three contractor bids unless otherwise agreed to by Tenant and
Landlord) using materials supplied by suppliers of Landlord’s choice but
commercially competitive. No construction shall commence until all required
building permits have been obtained from applicable governmental agencies
and
until Landlord has reasonably approved the Plans and Specifications. No
construction shall commence until Tenant has paid to Landlord (and such funds
have cleared), any amount required under any applicable construction contract
calling for deposit, progress, performance or similar payments (the “Required
Payments”), to the extent the Required Payments exceed any unapplied Tenant
Improvement Allowance. Following the commencement of construction of the
Tenant
Improvements, to the extent Tenant is required to pay any portion of the
Required Payments and fails to do so, and notwithstanding Tenant’s obligations
to reimburse Landlord for a portion of the Total Constructions Costs as set
forth in the prior paragraph, Landlord may in its sole discretion stop
construction of the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord’s directions to the
applicable contractors to stop construction (i) shall not give Tenant any
action
or claim against Landlord, nor (ii) shall same cause any delay in the
anticipated delivery or commencement date under the Lease, and (iii) if the
delivery or commencement date under the Lease is determined by the completion
of
construction of the Tenant Improvements, then the delivery date or commencement
date under the Lease shall be deemed the date that the Tenant Improvements
are
substantially completed and a certificate of occupancy by the governing
authority has been issued (if required) as otherwise set forth under the
Lease,
less the number of days that Tenant failed to pay any Required Payments as
set
forth in this paragraph.
Any
changes to the Plans and Specifications shall only be made pursuant to written
change orders signed by Tenant and Landlord. To the extent any such change
order
increases the Total Construction Costs beyond the Tenant Improvement Allowance,
Tenant shall pay same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
in
the change order.
Tenant
and Landlord shall diligently deliver to the other copies of all invoices
pertaining to the Tenant Improvements, and shall each pay all invoices required
to be paid per this Amendment. To the extent any unapplied portion of the
Tenant
Improvement Allowance is not, within one (1) month following the substantial
completion of the Tenant Improvements, utilized by Tenant or required to
be paid
by Landlord as set forth above, such portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance
shall be forfeited and shall not be further available from Landlord to Tenant.
Tenant
may utilize the Tenant Improvement Allowance for the remainder of 2006, at
such
time, any remaining unused amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall
be
forfeited to Landlord.
Tenant
Improvements shall not include, and the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall
not
be applied to, any costs associated with Tenant’s moving costs, relocation
related expenses, telephone and data communications cabling, movable furniture,
works of art, or other items that are not affixed to the leased Premises
and
Expansion Premises.
All
Tenant Improvements, and any other physical alterations and permanent
improvements to the Premises and Expansion Premises shall remain the property
of
Landlord, except for those Tenant Improvements, physical alterations and
permanent improvements that (i) are solely paid for by Tenant and not reimbursed
by any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and (ii) consist of
furniture, fixtures and equipment and (iii) can be removed from the Premises
and
Expansion Premises without damage to the Premises and Expansion Premises
that
can be repaired at no cost to Landlord.
6. Security
Deposit. The
Security Deposit will be increased by $2,850.13 to $11,023.13 which is one
month’s gross rent of the Existing and Premises and Expansion
Premises.
7. Signage. Tenant
shall have the right to install its corporate identification on the middle
line
of the (three line) Two Northpoint sign monument on a month to month basis,
such
month to month basis being conditioned as follows: If any Tenant in Two
Northpoint has more square footage than Wintegra and has a written agreement
for
monument signage, and there are no available lines to place signage on the
monument sign, then Wintegra shall either
(a) cooperate with Landlord and its designated contractor at Tenant’s own
expense, to modify the sign to allow an additional line, within 30 days of
the
Landlord’s request, or (b) remove signage within 30 days of Landlord’s request
to remove signage. Tenant
shall have the right to use a portion of their Tenant Improvement Allowance
to
pay for any signage costs pursuant to Section 5 of this Amendment No.
1.
8. Right
of First Offer. Provided
no Event of Default then exists, Landlord shall, prior to offering the same
to
any party (other than the then-current tenant therein), first offer to lease
to
Tenant up to the entire space, but a minimum of approximately 50% of the
space
designated on Exhibit
B
(the
“Offer
Space”)
in an
“AS-IS”
condition; such offer shall be in writing and specify the lease terms for
the
Offer Space, including the rent to be paid for the Offer Space and the date
on
which the Offer Space shall be included in the Premises ( the “Offer-Notice”).
The
Offer Space shall have a lease termination date coterminous with Tenant’s Lease
so long as Tenant has at least thirty (30) months remaining on their term.
Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to lease the
Offer
Space on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and this paragraph, within
five
(5) business days after Landlord delivers to Tenant the Offer Notice. If
Tenant
timely elects to lease the Offer Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute
an amendment to this Lease, effective as of the date the Offer Space is to
be
included in the Premises, on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and,
to the
extent not inconsistent with the Offer Notice terms, the terms of this Lease;
however, Tenant shall accept the Offer Space in an “AS-IS”
condition and Landlord shall provide $6 per square foot to Tenant as an
allowance for construction of Tenant Improvements.
If
Tenant
fails or is unable to timely exercise its right hereunder, then such right
shall
lapse, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise thereof (it
being
understood that Tenant’s right hereunder is a one-time right only), and Landlord
may lease all or a portion of the Offer Space to third parties on such terms
as
Landlord may elect. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Exhibit
if an
Event of Default exists or Tenant is not then occupying the entire Premises.
For
purposes hereof, if an Offer Notice is delivered for less than all of the
Offer
Space but such notice provides for an expansion, right of first refusal,
or
other preferential right to lease some of the remaining portion of the Offer
Space, then such remaining portion of the Offer Space shall thereafter be
excluded from the provisions of this section.
Tenant’s
rights under this section shall terminate if (a) this Lease or Tenant’s right to
possession of the Premises is terminated, (b) Tenant assigns any of its interest
in this Lease or sublets more than 20% of the rentable square footage of
the
Premises or (c) less than two full calendar year remains in the initial Term
of
this Lease.
9. Effective
Date; Tenant’s Proportionate Share; Acceptance.
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord,
the
Expansion Premises on the terms and conditions of the Lease, as modified
hereby.
Accordingly, from and after July 1, 2006, the term "Premises” shall refer
collectively to the Premises and the Expansion Premises, except as otherwise
provided herein, Tenant’s Proportionate Share (as defined in the Lease) shall be
increased to 4.69%, which is the percentage obtained by dividing the number
of
rsf in the Premises (7,039) by the number of rsf in the Project
(149,930).
10.
Parking.
Landlord
and Tenant agree that the parking provision (as described in Article 8.4
of the
Lease) shall remain effective as written; provided, however, that the first
(1st)
sentence of Article 8.4 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the
following:
“During
the initial Lease Term and any renewal term, Tenant shall have the right
to
twenty three (23) unreserved surface vehicle parking spaces at no cost to
the
Tenant and Tenant shall be obligated to pay $45 per parking space per month
beginning on April 1, 2007 to Landlord and Landlord shall provide Tenant
with
Four (4) reserved covered vehicle parking spaces in the Parking
Areas.”
11. Brokerage.
Landlord and Tenant each warrant to the other that it has not dealt with
any
broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this
Amendment except Xxxx Xxxxxx of Bluestone Partners. Tenant and Landlord shall
each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and other
liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any other broker
or
agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying
party.
12. Ratification.
Tenant
hereby confirms and ratifies that, as of the date hereof, (a) the Lease is
and remains in good standing and in full force and effect, and (b) to
Tenant’s actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry, Tenant has no claims,
counterclaims, set-offs or defenses against Landlord arising out of the Lease
or
in any way relating thereto or arising out of any other transaction between
Landlord and Tenant.
13. Binding
Effect; Governing Law.
Except
as modified hereby, the Lease shall remain in full effect and this Amendment
shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors
and
assigns. If any inconsistency exists or arises between the terms of this
Amendment and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail.
This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises
are located.
14. Counterparts.
This
Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one
document.

cost of casualty and liability insurance applicable to the Building and Parking
Areas and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith as provided
in Article VI below.
(f) All
taxes
and assessments and governmental charges whether federal, state, county or

or their operation, excluding, however, federal and state taxes on

attributable solely to tenants of the Building other than Tenant).
(h) Amortization
of the cost of installation of capital investment items which are installed

the purpose of reducing operating expenses or which may be required by

ten
percent (10%) per annum on the unamortized balance, with the reasonable life
and
amortization schedule being determined in accordance with generally accepted

Tenant,
at Tenant’s option and expense, may audit
Landlord’s accounts to substantiate any costs claimed.
If
any of
the factors included in “Base Operating Cost” are not payable, billed, or
otherwise due so as to allow an accurate calculation of said factors annually
(e.g., ad valorem taxes and long-term contracts), Landlord, in its sole
discretion, may estimate and prorate said factors on an annual basis, and said
factors shall be properly adjusted by Landlord when they actually become due
and
payable.
Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, it is agreed that in the
event the Building is not fully occupied during any calendar year or in the
event the entire Building is not provided with Building standard services during
any calendar year, an adjustment shall be made in computing such component
of
the Base Operating Cost for such year so that the actual operating expenses
shall be computed for such year as though the Building had been fully occupied
during such year and as though the entire Building had been provided with
Building standard services during such year.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 1.3, Base Operating Cost shall not
include any costs incurred in the replacement of capital investment items except
those made for the purposes of reducing operating expenses, nor Landlord’s home
office expense nor specific costs specially billed to specific tenants nor
commissions paid for the leasing or renting of space in the

(5,449) by the total number of square feet of Net Rentable Area in all office
space leased or held for lease in the Building (149,894) (such percentage being
referred to as Tenant’s “Pro Rata Share”). Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is stipulated
to be 3.6%.

Materials.
The
term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any substance, materials and wastes that
are or become regulated, restricted or prohibited as hazardous, toxic or
polluting substances under any applicable federal, state or local law,

Term.
Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, or in any exhibit
attached hereto, the primary term of this Lease shall commence on the
“Commencement Date” as defined below, and shall terminate on the Last days of
the 36 month of the Lease Term. The “Lease Term” of this Lease shall be the
primary term specified in this Section 2.1, unless renewed or otherwise extended
or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Lease. The
Commencement Date of this Lease shall be the date the Leased Premises are deemed
to be ready for occupancy by Tenant upon the first to occur of (i) the date
that
there is delivered to Tenant a certificate of substantial completion of the
improvements in and to the Leased Premises from Landlord’s architect, which
certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon Tenant; or (ii) the date on
which Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, occupies any

RENT
3.1 Rental
Payments.
(a) Commencing
on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term,
Tenant agrees to the Base Rental as described in Section 3.2, plus Tenant’s
Forecast Additional Rental and Tenant’s Additional Rental as described in
Section 3.3. The Base Rental together with Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental
shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the
first
day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. Tenant agrees to pay such
rent
to Landlord at Landlord’s address for notice as provided herein (or such other
address as may be designated by Landlord from time to time). If the term of
the
Lease is deemed to have commenced on a date other than the first date of a
calendar month, the expiration date of the primary term shall be extended so
as
to give effect to the full term specified in 2.1 above in addition to the
remainder of the calendar month during which the Lease is deemed to have
commenced.
(b) If
the
Lease Term as described above commences on other than the first day of a
calendar month or terminates on other than the last day of a calendar month,
then the installments of Base Rental and Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental for
such month or months shall be prorated and the installment or installments
so
prorated shall be paid in advance. The payment for such prorated month shall
be
calculated by multiplying the monthly installment by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of days of the Lease Term occurring during said
commencement or termination month, as the case may be, and the denominator
of
which shall be the total number of days occurring in said commencement or
termination month. Also, if the Lease Term commences or terminates on other
than
the first day of a calendar year, Tenant’s Additional Rental (defined below)
shall be prorated for such commencement or termination year, as the case may
be,
by multiplying each by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of
days of the Lease Term during the commencement or termination year, as the
case
may be, and the denominator of which shall be 365, and the calculation described
in Section 3.3(c) below shall be made as soon as possible after the termination
of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions relating to said
calculation shall survive the termination of this Lease.
(c) Tenant
shall pay all rent and other sums of money as same shall become due from and
payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease at the times and in the manner
provided in this Lease, without demand, set-off or counterclaim.
(d) Tenant
shall pay all applicable bank charges incurred by Landlord plus Twenty-five
and
No/100 Dollars ($25.00) for each returned check. Tenant’s right to possession
and all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are expressly contingent on
the prompt payment of rent, and the use of the Leased Premises is obtained
only
on the condition that rent is paid on time. Payment of rent by Tenant shall
be
an independent covenant. In the event Tenant has not timely paid rent or other
sums due on two or more occasions, or in the event a check is returned for
insufficient funds or no account, Landlord may thereafter require that all
rent
and other sums due be paid by cashier’s check, certified check, or money order,
without further notice.
(e) In
the
event that Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rental, or any Additional
Rental or other sums of whatever nature owed by Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease within ten (10) days of the date such amount is due, there shall be added
to such unpaid amount a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the past due amount
in order to compensate Landlord for the extra administrative expenses associated
with the collection of such late payment. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord interest
on any past due amount owed under this Lease at the maximum lawful rate allowed
by applicable law from the date due until paid.

3.2 Base
Rental.
Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base annual rental
(“Base Rental”) in an amount of $9.10 Net Average per square foot of Net
Rentable Area within the Leased Premises per year, or an amount as outlined
below per calendar month commencing on the Commencement Date:

3.3 Additional
Rental.
(a) Commencing
with the Lease Year in which the Commencement Date occurs and continuing
thereafter for each Lease Year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall present
to
Tenant prior to the beginning of said Lease Year (or for the first Lease Year,
prior to the commencement of said term) a statement of Tenant’s Forecast
Additional Rental (defined below). In Landlord’s best estimate as of the date of
this Lease, Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental for the first Lease Year is
estimated to be $8.90 per square foot of Net Rentable Area in the Leased
Premises per year , which shall not be increased during the calendar year of
2004. Tenant Agrees to pay Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental according to the
terms of Section 3.1 (that is, in equal monthly installments in advance).
“Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental” shall mean Landlord’s reasonable estimate
of Tenant’s Additional Rental (defined below).
(b) “Tenant’s
Additional Rental,” as used herein, shall mean for each Lease Year or partial
Lease Years during the Lease Term, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Base Operating
Cost.
(c) Within
one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the first Lease Year in which
the
Commencement Date occurs and of each Lease Year thereafter during the Lease
Term, or as soon as possible thereafter, Landlord shall provide Tenant a
statement showing the Base Operating Cost for said Lease Year and a statement
prepared by Landlord comparing Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental with Tenant’s
Additional Rental for said Lease Year. In the event that Tenant’s Forecast
Additional Rental exceeds Tenant’s Additional Rental for said Lease Year,
Landlord shall pay Tenant (in the form of a credit against rentals next due)
an
amount equal to such excess. In the event that Tenant’s Additional Rental
exceeds Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental for said Lease Year, Tenant shall
pay Landlord, within ten (30) days of receipt of the statement, an amount equal
to such difference.
3.4 First
Month’s Rent and Security Deposit.
At the
time of execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay in advance the first monthly
installment of Base Rental and Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental. On the same
date, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, an amount equal to $8,173.00 (the
“Security Deposit”) as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s
obligations herein contained. If Tenant defaults in any manner in the
performance of Tenant’s obligations contained in this Lease, Landlord may use,
apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment
of
any rent, or other sum in default or for the payment of any other sum or expense
to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of such default, or to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby.
Landlord shall not be required to separately account for the Security Deposit
nor to maintain an escrow or separate account therefor. If Tenant performs
all
of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or so much
thereof as has not been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment
of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Tenant’s option,
the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within sixty (60)
days after the expiration of the Lease Term, and after Tenant has vacated the
Leased Premises. Landlord’s right to so apply the Security Deposit shall in no
manner limit, impair or otherwise affect any of Landlord’s remedies set forth in
this Lease.

4.4 Assignment
and Subletting.
(a) Tenant
shall not assign this Lease or sublet these Leased Premises or any part thereof,
or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its leasehold interest without the prior
express written permission of Landlord, which permission shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do any of
the

of
Tenant’s interest in the leasehold estate, including, but not limited to, sale

Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or
any
part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (which shall specify
all
of the terms of said proposed sublease or assignment as well as the name and
address of each proposed assignee or subtenant, and current and complete

have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which
to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects: (1) to terminate this Lease
as
to the space so affected as of the date so specified by Tenant in its notice,
in
which event Tenant will be relieved of all obligations hereunder as to such
space; (2) to permit Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet such space for the
duration specified by Tenant in its notice; or (3) to reject the proposed
assignment or sublease, for reasonable cause, explained to Tenant. If Landlord
should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within the thirty
(30)
day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (3) above. In
addition, no space shall be listed or offered to any broker for listing or
advertisement, nor shall Tenant advertise for subletting without prior written
approval of Landlord.
(b) If
Landlord exercises its right as of the requested effective date of such

set forth in subparagraph (a) above, Landlord shall not be obligated to pay
any
consideration to effect such cancellation as to the portion of the Leased
Premises and the term of Lease with respect to which Landlord has been requested
to permit such assignment, sublease, or other transaction; and if Landlord
elects to cancel and terminate this Lease as to the aforesaid portion of the
Leased Premises and for the term proposed to be assigned or subleased, then
the
rent and other charges payable hereunder shall thereafter be proportionately
reduced. In addition to the right of Landlord to withhold its consent to the
assignment or subletting of the Leased Premises by Tenant as described in
Section 4.4, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent
to
any assignment or subletting which would involve a different use of the Leased

of
Landlord’s security interest.
(c) In
any
case where Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease of the leasehold,
the
undersigned Tenant will remain liable for the performance of all of the
covenants, duties, and obligations in this Lease, including, without limitation,
the obligation to pay all rent and other sums to be paid, and Landlord shall
be
permitted to enforce the provisions of this instrument against the undersigned
Tenant and/or any assignee or sublessee without demand upon or proceeding in
any
way against any other person. In addition, if Landlord consents to such an
assignment or sublease, Tenant shall enter into a written agreement with
Landlord where it is agreed that any profit realized by Tenant as a result
of
said assignment or sublease (that is, after deducting all of Tenant’s costs
associated therewith, including reasonable brokerage fees and the reasonable
cost of remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for said assignee
or sublessee) shall be payable to Landlord as it accrues as additional rent
hereunder. If Tenant refuses to execute such written agreement, Landlord shall
be deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent to the proposed assignment
or
sublease.
9
(d) In
any
case where Landlord consents to any such assignment, sublease, or other
transaction, Landlord requires consent to sublease executed by Landlord, Tenant
and Sublessee and may require that Tenant pay to Landlord a reasonable sum
as
attorney’s fees (attorney fees shall not exceed $750.00) or other fees and costs
to change the lobby directory and tenant signage arising incident to such
transaction, and that the assignee or subtenant pay Landlord a reasonable sum
incurred by Landlord in moving the assignee or subtenant in and out of the
Leased Premises should Landlord provide such assistance; however, Landlord
shall
have no obligation to provide such service.
(e) Tenant
shall give Landlord written notice of the consummation of any assignment or
sublease consented to by Landlord; furnish to Landlord copies of all
assignments, transfers, subleases and other documents executed in connection
with such assignment or sublease; and notify Landlord in writing of the date
the
assignee or subtenant takes possession of the Leased Premises or a portion
thereof.
(f) Each
sublessee or assignee shall fully observe all covenants of this Lease,
including, without limitation, the use restrictions of this Lease and provisions
of this Lease pertaining to Tenant signage and alteration of the Leased
Premises, and no consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease shall be
deemed in any manner to be consent to a use not permitted under this Lease.
Any
consent by Landlord to a particular assignment or sublease shall not constitute
Landlord’s consent to any other or subsequent assignment or sublease, and any
proposed assignment or sublease by an assignee or sublessee of Tenant shall
be
subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4 as if it were a proposed
assignment or sublease by Tenant.
(g) As
a
condition precedent to any actual or deemed consent of Landlord to any
assignment or subletting, Tenant shall cause the assignee or subtenant to take
all action necessary to assure that the statutory and contractual Landlord’s
liens apply to property of the subtenant or assignee to the same or greater
extent, for the same or greater value of property, and with the same or better
priority than Tenant’s property which is subject to such landlord’s liens.
Tenant shall furnish a current UCC Search of the proposed subtenant or assignee
and shall cause the assignee or subtenant to execute financing statements
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

Building, as attached to and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit
“C”
and,
upon written notice thereof to Tenant, any changes, amendments, or additions

tenants of the Building. Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for
any
failure of any other tenant or tenants of the Building to comply with such
Rules
and Regulations.
4.6 Alterations

(a) Tenant
shall not make or allow to be made (except as otherwise specifically provided

the
written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the
“as-built” plans and specifications for all alterations or physical additions
made with the approval of Landlord in or to the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees
specifically that no food, soft drink or other vending machine will be installed
within the Leased Premises without the written consent of Landlord. Landlord
shall retain the right to monitor the performance of any alterations or
additions to the Leased Premises after the plans and specifications for same
have been approved by Landlord.
10
(b) All
alterations, physical additions or improvements in or to the Leased Premises
(including fixtures) shall, when made, become the property of Landlord and
shall
be surrendered to Landlord upon termination of this Lease; provided, however,
this clause shall not apply to movable trade fixtures, equipment or furniture
owned by Tenant as long as Tenant restores the Leased Premises to its initial
improved condition after the removal of any such property by
Tenant.
(c) Tenant
shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all costs (including
attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), losses, liabilities or causes of action
arising out of or relating to any alterations, additions or improvements made
by
Tenant to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, any mechanic’s or
materialmen’s liens asserted in connection therewith.
(d) Should
any mechanic’s or other lien or liens be filed against any portion of the
Building by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against
Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record
by
bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant
shall
fail to cancel or discharge said lien or liens within said ten-day period,
Landlord may, at its sole option, cancel or discharge the same and, upon
Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs
incurred in canceling or discharging such liens.

Tenant
has full knowledge of all matters pertaining to the Leased Premises, including,
but not limited to, the condition of the tenant improvements therein.
Accordingly, Tenant hereby acknowledges that it is leasing the Leased Premises

the
Building as Landlord may deem necessary or proper for the safety, improvement,
or preservation of the Leased Premises or of the Building, as a first class
building. All such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and
so
as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible, but Tenant
shall in no event be entitled to any abatement or reduction in rent by reason
thereof. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises resulting from any such actions by
Landlord. Landlord shall at all times have and retain keys with which to unlock
all of the doors in, on and above the Leased Premises (excluding Tenant’s
vaults, safes and similar areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance)
and
Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem
proper to open said doors in an emergency to obtain entry to the Leased
Premises, and any entry to the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord by any
of
said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or
deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Leased
Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Leased
Premises, or any portion thereof. Landlord shall also have, at all times, the
keys and/or combination necessary to deactivate any on-Premises audible fire
or
burglary alarm system and Landlord shall have the right to turn off the audible
alarm once it has sounded.

malfunction, diminution or termination that may occur due to governmental
regulations or utility policies, or in the event of Landlord’s decision to
improve any space in the Building in general, so as to maintain the Building
in
a first class manner, shall constitute or be deemed to be a constructive
eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use, possession or commercial suitability of
the Leased Premises or Building or a breach by Landlord of any of its
obligations hereunder or render Landlord liable for damages (including loss
of
profits) or entitle Tenant to be relieved from any of its obligations hereunder
(including Tenant’s independent obligation to pay rent) or grant Tenant any
right of setoff or recoupment. In the event of any such interruption,
malfunction, diminution or termination, however, Landlord shall use reasonable
diligence to restore such service. In addition to the foregoing, should any
of
the equipment or machinery break down or for any cause cease to function
properly, Tenant shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account

INSURANCE,
DAMAGE, AND CONDEMNATION
6.1 Indemnity
and Hold Harmless.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its agents, servants, employees,
contractors, customers, or invitees, for any damage to persons or property
caused by any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, contractors, customers, or invitees, and Tenant agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Landlord harmless from all liability and claims for any such
damage. Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord, or to Landlord’s agents,
servants, employees, contractors, customers or invitees for any damage to person
or property caused by any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers, or invitees, and Landlord
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from all claims for such
damage. The preceding sentences shall apply only when the injury, death or
damage is caused only by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor
or when the cause is the concurrent result of the negligence or willful
misconduct of the indemnitor, its agents, servants, employees, contractors,
customers, or invitees or other third party and not of any negligence or willful
misconduct of the indemnitee or its agents, servants, employees, contractors,
customers or invitees. In any situation involving injury, death or damage
resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor and the
indemnitee, or any of their agents, servants, employees, contractor, customers
or invitees, each party as indemnitor shall indemnify the other party as the
indemnitee to the extent, but only to the extent, of the liability attributable
to its negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct
of its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers or invitees. The
foregoing indemnity obligations shall include reasonable attorney’s fees,
investigation costs, court costs and all other reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any claim or demand which is covered by the
indemnities hereunder. Tenant agrees that all personal property upon the Leased
Premises shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and that Landlord shall not be
liable for any damage thereto or loss, theft or disappearance thereof. The
provisions under this Lease shall survive the termination of this Lease with
respect to any damage, injury or death occurring prior to such termination,
or
after such termination during any period during which Tenant is in possession
of
the Leased Premises or engaged in removing any property it is permitted to
remove under this Lease.
14
6.2 Property
Insurance by Landlord.
Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on: (i) the
structural components and common areas of the Building; and (ii) tenant finish
improvements within the Leased Premises with a value of fifteen dollars ($15.00)
per square foot of usable area within the Leased Premises (the “Covered Tenant
Improvements”). Said insurance shall be maintained with any insurance company
authorized to do business in the State of Texas, in amounts desired by Landlord
and at the expense of Landlord and payment for losses thereunder shall be made
solely to Landlord; subject, however, to the rights of the Mortgagees (defined
below). If the annual premiums to be paid by Landlord shall exceed the standard
rates because Tenant’s operations result in extra hazardous exposure, Tenant
shall promptly pay the excess amount of the premium upon the request of
Landlord.
6.3 Property
Insurance by Tenant.
Tenant
shall, at all times during the Lease Term, at its own expense, maintain a policy
or policies of insurance with premiums fully paid in advance, insuring the
following against loss or damage by fire, explosion, or other hazards and
contingencies for the full insurable value thereof: (i) all of Tenant’s contents
located in the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, trade fixtures,
furnishings, equipment, and other items of personal property; and (ii) all
tenant improvements within the Leased Premises with a total value in excess
of
the stated value for the Covered Tenant Improvements.
6.4 Liability
Insurance.
Tenant
shall, at Tenant’s expense, obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect
during the Lease Term, commercial general liability insurance (including
premises operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent
contractors, products, and completed operations, broad form contractual
liability and broad form property damage coverages) in a combined single limit
amount of not less than $3,000,000, against all claims, demands or actions
with
respect to damage, injury or death made by or on behalf of any person or entity,
arising from or relating to the conduct and operation of Tenant’s business in,
on or about the Leased Premises, or arising from or related to any act or
omission of Tenant or any person within Tenant’s control. Whenever, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing conditions
indicate a need for additional amounts or different types of insurance coverage,
Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request, obtain such
insurance coverage, at Tenant’s expense.
6.5 General
Insurance Requirements.
The
policy or policies of insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall name Landlord,
the Managing Agent, and the Mortgagees as co-insured and shall contain an
endorsement that such policies cannot be canceled, amended or modified as to
Landlord or the Mortgagees, if any, without thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord and the Mortgagees. Tenant shall deliver certificates of
insurance in form satisfactory to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of the old policies. The insurance required under this Lease,
shall be insured by such good and responsible companies qualified to do and
doing business in the State of Texas as may be approved by Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each policy of insurance required
to be carried under this Lease or a duplicate or certificate thereof, shall
be
delivered to Landlord for retention by it. If Tenant shall fail to insure or
shall fail to furnish to Landlord any such policy, duplicate policy or
certificate as required, Landlord may, from time to time, effect such insurance
for the benefit of Tenant or Landlord, or both of them, for a period not
exceeding one (1) year, and any premium paid by Landlord shall be recoverable
from Tenant as additional rent on demand.
15
6.6 Waiver
of Subrogation.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant
each
waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action,
against the other, its agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage
that may occur to the Leased Premises, or any improvements thereto, or said
Building of which the Leased Premises are a part, or any improvements thereto,
or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements,
or any other cause which are insured against under the terms of standard fire
and extended coverage insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin,
including negligence of the other party to this Lease, its agents, officers,
or
employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation
against such other party.
6.7 Fire
or Other Casualty.
In the
event of a fire or other casualty in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall
immediately give notice thereof to Landlord. If the Leased Premises is partially
damaged by fire or other casualty, whether or not such casualty is an insured
or
insurable risk, so as to render the Leased Premises untenantable in whole or
in
part, the rental provided for shall xxxxx thereafter as to the portion of the
Leased Premises rendered untenantable until such time as the Leased Premises
are
made tenantable as determined by Landlord, and Landlord agrees to commence
and
prosecute such repair work promptly and with all due diligence; provided,
however, in the event such destruction results in the Leased Premises being
untenantable in whole or in substantial part for a period reasonably estimated
by a responsible contractor selected by Landlord to be one hundred twenty (120)
days or longer after Landlord’s insurance settlement, or in the event of total
or substantial damage or destruction of the Leased Premises or the remainder
of
the Building from any cause and if Landlord shall decide not to rebuild, then
in
either event all rent owed up to the time of such destruction or termination
shall be paid by Tenant and thenceforth this Lease shall cease and come to
an
end. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its decisions, estimates
or
elections hereunder within sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of notice
of settlement from Landlord’s insurance carrier. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Lease, Landlord shall only be obligated to restore or rebuild:
(i) the structural components and common areas of the Building; and (ii) the
Covered Tenant Improvements.
6.8 Condemnation
and Loss or Damage.
If the
Leased Premises or any part hereof shall be taken or condemned for any public
purpose to such an extent as to render the remainder of the Leased Premises,
in
the opinion of Landlord, not reasonably suitable for Tenant’s occupancy, this
Lease shall, at the option of either party, forthwith cease and terminate.
All
proceeds from any taking or condemnation of the Leased Premises shall belong
to
and be paid to Landlord, including any and all compensation, damages, income,
rent, awards or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in
connection therewith, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the
value of any unexpired portion of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein shall prevent Tenant from seeking a separate award
from
the condemning authority for any matters which will not interfere with or reduce
any award to Landlord. In the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises
which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rental shall
be
reduced in the proportion that the area of the portion of the Leased Premises
so
taken bears to the total area of the Leased Premises before such taking.
Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage
to
any property or persons occasioned by theft, fire, act of God, public enemy,
injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order
of governmental body or authority, force majeure or any other cause beyond
the
control of Landlord, or for any damage or inconvenience which may arise through
repair, alteration, or improvements of all or any part of the Building, or
failure to make such repairs.

DEFAULT
7.1 Default
by Tenant.
If (1)
default is made in the payment of any sum to be paid by Tenant under this Lease
(no notice being required for default in payment), (2) default is made in the
performance of any of the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required
to observe and to perform under this Lease, and such non-monetary default shall
continue for twenty (20) days after written notice to Tenant, (3) the interest
of Tenant under this Lease is levied on under execution or other legal process,
(4) any petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or
to
delay, reduce, or modify Tenant’s debts or obligations, (5) any petition is
filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure,
(6) Tenant is declared insolvent according to law, (7) any assignment of
Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors, (8) a receiver or
trustee is appointed for Tenant or its property, (9) Tenant abandons the Leased
Premises (which shall mean that Tenant is absent from the Leased Premises for
ten (10) consecutive days),, then Landlord may treat the occurrence of any
one
or more of the foregoing events as a breach of this Lease (provided that no
such
levy, execution, legal process, or petition filed against Tenant shall
constitute a breach of this Lease if Tenant shall vigorously contest the same
by
appropriate proceedings and shall remove or vacate the same within thirty (30)
days from the date of its creation, service, or filing) and thereupon, at its
option Landlord may have any one or more of the following described remedies
in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in
equity:
(a) Landlord
may terminate this Lease and repossess the Leased Premises and be entitled
to
recover as damages a sum of money equal to the total of: (i) the cost of
recovering the Leased Premises (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit);
(ii) the unpaid rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon
at
the rate provided herein; (iii) the present value of the balance of the rent
for
the remainder of the term less the present value of the fair market rental
value
of the Leased Premises for said period; and (iv) any other sum of money and
damages owed by Tenant to Landlord.
(b) Landlord
may terminate Tenant’s right of possession (but not the Lease) and may repossess
the Leased Premises by forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise, without
demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease,
in
which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the same for the
account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory
to
Landlord. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to decorate
or to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Leased
Premises that may be necessary or convenient, and, if Landlord shall fail or
refuse to relet the Leased Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for
such
period or periods, or, if the Leased Premises are relet and a sufficient sum
shall not be realized from such reletting after paying the unpaid Base and
Additional Rent due hereunder plus interest thereon at a maximum lawful rate,
plus the cost of recovering possession, and all of the costs and expenses of
such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, and additions and the expenses
of such reletting and of the collection of the rent accruing therefrom to
satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall
satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time,
and
Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under
the terms of this paragraph from time to time, and that no delivery or recovery
of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent
action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor
of
Landlord, nor shall such reletting be construed as an election on the part
of
Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be
given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach.
17
(c) At
any
time after an event of breach or default by Tenant has occurred, Landlord shall
have the right to change or modify door locks on entry doors to the Leased
Premises, and/or terminate all utility services to the Leased Premises, and
such
right to modify or change locks and/or terminate utility services shall continue
so long as Tenant is in default hereunder. Landlord shall not be obligated
to
furnish Tenant with a new key or to allow Tenant to enter the Leased Premises,
or to reinstate any terminated utility services until and unless Tenant has
cured such default. Landlord may take such action as is required to cure any
breach or default by Tenant hereunder and xxxx Tenant for any expenses incurred
by Landlord in curing such breach, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay such
xxxx immediately upon its receipt by Tenant.
(d) Landlord
shall have the right to cause a receiver to be appointed in any action against
Tenant to take possession of the Leased Premises and/or to collect the rents
or
profits derived therefrom. The appointment of such receiver shall not constitute
an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless notice of
such intention is given to Tenant.
(e) After
terminating this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises,
Landlord may remove any and all personal property located in the Leased Premises
and place such property in a public or private warehouse or elsewhere. Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for all costs of such removal and storage upon demand.
Tenant waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing
or storing the property as herein provided, and Tenant shall indemnify and
hold
Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all damages, including
without limitation all costs of court and attorney’s fees of Landlord occasioned
thereby.
(f) In
addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in
case of the violation or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the
provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any other
provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed at law or in
equity.
7.2 Holding
Over.
In the
event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or termination of this Lease
without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall pay 150% of the rent
(including all Base Rental and Additional Rental then payable) for the entire
holdover period. No holding over by Tenant after the Lease Term shall operate
to
extend the Lease.
7.3 Non-Waiver.
Failure
of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or
delay
in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default,
but
Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time and take
such action as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, either in law or in
equity.
7.4 Attorney’s
Fees.
In the
event either party defaults in the performance of any of the terms, agreements
or conditions contained in this Lease and the other party places the enforcement
of this Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any rent due or to
become due hereunder, or recovery of the possession of the Leased Premises,
in
the hands of an attorney who files suit upon the same, and should such
non-defaulting party prevail in such suit, the defaulting party agrees to pay
the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.
18
7.5 Landlord’s
Lien.
IN
ADDITION TO THE STATUTORY LIEN, LANDLORD IS HEREBY GRANTED AND SHALL HAVE,
AT
ALL TIMES, A VALID SECURITY INTEREST UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OF TEXAS
(ARTICLE 9 OF THE BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE V.A.T.S.) TO SECURE PAYMENT OF
ALL
RENTALS AND OTHER SUMS OF MONEY BECOMING DUE UNDER THIS LEASE FROM TENANT,
AND
TO SECURE PAYMENT OF ANY DAMAGES OR LOSS WHICH LANDLORD MAY SUFFER BY REASON
OF
THE BREACH BY TENANT OF ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR CONDITION CONTAINED HEREIN,
UPON ALL GOODS, WARES, EQUIPMENT, FIXTURES, FURNITURE, IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER
PERSONAL PROPERTY OF TENANT PRESENTLY OR WHICH MAY HEREAFTER BE SITUATED ON
THE
LEASED PREMISES, AND ALL PROCEEDS THEREOF. TENANT SHALL NOT ALLOW SUCH PROPERTY
TO BE REMOVED THEREFROM WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LANDLORD UNTIL
ALL
ARREARAGES IN RENT AS WELL AS ANY AND ALL OTHER SUMS OF MONEY THEN DUE OR TO
ACCRUE AND BECOME DUE UNDER THIS LEASE TO LANDLORD SHALL FIRST HAVE BEEN PAID
AND DISCHARGED AND ALL THE COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF HAVE
BEEN
FULLY COMPLIED WITH AND PERFORMED BY TENANT.
Upon the
occurrence of an event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any
other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Premises and take
possession of any and all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture,
improvements and other personal property of Tenant situated on the Leased
Premises, without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the same at
public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, after
giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or
of
the time after which any private sale is to be made, at which sale Landlord
or
itsassigns may purchase unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise
provided by law, and without intending to exclude any other manner of giving
Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met
if
such notice is given at least five (5) days before the time of any sale. The
proceeds from any such disposition, less any and all expenses connected with
the
taking of possession, holding and selling of the property (including reasonable
attorney’s fees and other expenses), shall be applied as a credit against the
indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this section. Any
surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law; and Tenant
shall pay any deficiencies forthwith. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant agrees
to
execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form sufficient to
perfect the security interest created herein under the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code in force in the State of Texas, or Landlord may file this Lease
or a copy hereof as a financing statement. The statutory lien for rent is not
hereby waived; on the contrary, the security interest herein granted shall
be in
addition to and supplementary of said statutory lien. Notwithstanding anything
containing in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, Landlord agrees to subordinate
its liens and security interest to any lender of Tenant which has a lien or
shall be given a lien by Tenant on Tenant’s personal property.
7.6 Default
by Landlord.
Tenant
shall provide to Landlord written notice of any alleged breach or default by
Landlord under this Lease, stating with specificity the nature of such alleged
breach or default. Landlord shall not be considered to be in default hereunder
unless Landlord fails to commence the cure of any such default within thirty
(30) days after such written notice has been delivered to Landlord by Tenant
or
unless Landlord fails to pursue such cure to completion. In the event of any
default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for
damages, and in consideration of the execution of the Lease by Landlord, Tenant
waives any right to injunctive or other equitable relief.
19
7.7 Limitation
on Liability of Landlord.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely
to the equity of Landlord in and to the Building in the event of breach or
default by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or any agreement
or
instrument executed in connection herewith, and Tenant agrees that the liability
of Landlord under this Lease or any such agreement or instrument shall not
exceed the value of such equity of Landlord in and to the Building. Without
limitation to the foregoing, no properties or assets of Landlord other than
the
Building shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement procedures
for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) arising
out of
or in connection with this Lease. If Tenant shall acquire a lien on any other
properties or assets of Landlord by judgment or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly
release such lien on such other properties and assets by executing,
acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an instrument to that effect prepared
by Landlord’s attorneys. This Lease is executed by a representative of Landlord
solely in the representative capacity of such party, and not in such party’s own
individual capacity. No owner, partner, joint venturer, shareholder,
representative, advisor, trustee, director, officer, beneficiary, participant,
or agent of Landlord shall be personally liable in any manner or to any extent
under or in connection with this Lease.

GENERAL
8.1 The
Landlord’s Mortgagee.
(a) This
Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate to any
mortgage or mortgages and any deed or deeds of trust, blanket or otherwise,
which are now or may hereafter be placed on the Land and the Building and any
and all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions of any of such mortgages and deeds of trust (any such instrument
being a “Mortgage”). This provision shall be self-operative and no further
instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease. Tenant
shall, however, upon demand at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord any and all instruments and certificates that may be
necessary or proper to more effectively document the subordination of this
Lease
and all rights of Tenant hereunder to any Mortgage or to confirm or evidence
such subordination. If Tenant fails or neglects to execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any such subordination instrument or certificate, Landlord, in addition
to any other remedies it may have, may, as the agent and attorney-in-fact of
Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver the same, and Tenant hereby irrevocably
nominates, constitutes, and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s proper and legal agent
and attorney-in-fact for such purpose. Tenant covenants and agrees, in the
event
of the foreclosure of or trustee’s sale under any Mortgage (“Foreclosure Sale”),
to attorn to the purchaser upon any Foreclosure Sale, if so requested by such
purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant
agrees to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the
request of Landlord or of any holder or holders of any Mortgage, any instrument
or certificate which, in the sole judgment of Landlord or of such holder or
holders, may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such
attornment.
(b) This
Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are further subject and subordinate,
to
the extent that the same relate to the Premises, to all applicable ordinances
of

Provisions.
(a) ENTIRE
AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Lease, together with the Exhibits and Riders
attached hereto, embody the entire contract between the parties of this Lease
relative to the subject matter hereof, and this Lease supersedes and cancels
any
and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and
understandings if any between Landlord and Tenant, or displayed by Landlord
to
Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease or the Building.
There
are no representations or warranties between Landlord and Tenant other than
those contained in this Lease and all reliance with respect to any
representations or warranties is solely upon the representations and warranties
contained herein. This Lease may not be altered, changed, or amended, except
by
an instrument in writing signed by both parties to the Lease.
(b) SEVERABILITY
CLAUSE. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable, under present or future laws effective during the term of
this
Lease, then it is the intention of the parties to this Lease that the remainder
of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the intention
of
both parties that, in lieu of each clause or provision that is illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision
as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or
provision as possible but enforceable.
(c) BINDING
EFFECT. The provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of
the
parties, but this provision shall in no way alter the restrictions in the Lease
in connection with assignment and subletting by Tenant. Landlord shall have

effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord
and Tenant.
(h) FORCE
MAJEURE. Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of any action
by
Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall
be
excluded from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes,

change the arrangement, character, use or location of entrances or passageways,
doors, corridors, elevators, escalators, stairs, landscaping, toilets or
any
other portions of the Building, make additions or other modifications thereto,
as Landlord shall deem appropriate, and to change the name or designation
by
which the Building is commonly known, and none of the foregoing shall be
deemed
an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, entitle Tenant to any reduction
of
rent hereunder or result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant. Additionally,
the description of the Leased Premises and the location of any duct work,
electrical wiring, plumbing to other equipment and systems of the Building
within the Leased Premises shall be subject to such minor changes as Landlord
determines to be necessary or desirable in the course of the construction
or
maintenance of same, and no such changes shall invalidate or affect this

8.6 Anti-Terrorism

entity with whom [Landlord/Lessor] is restricted from doing business with

in connection with the use or occupancy of the demised premises. [Tenant/Lessee]
will not in the future during the term of the Agreement engage in any
transactions or dealings, or be otherwise associated with, any Prohibited
Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the demised

at
law or in equity.

(a) If
Tenant
is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, Tenant

so
only to the extent the same is economically feasible and otherwise will not
impose upon Landlord extreme financial or other burdens.

waiver by Landlord of any agreement, condition or provision herein contained
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or
any
other agreement, condition or provision herein contained, nor shall any custom
or practice which may grow up between the parties in the administration of
the
terms hereof be construed to waive or to lessen the right of Landlord to insist
on the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with said terms. The
subsequent acceptance of rental hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be
a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any agreement, condition or
provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular
rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach
at the time of acceptance of such rental.
(d) It
is
expressly understood that Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose,
become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or
joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant.

Documents in accordance with this section, the Construction Documents shall
constitute the Approved Construction Documents. Subsequent revisions or
variations, if any, to the Approved Construction Documents shall be mutually
approved by Landlord and Tenant. Any re-drawings requested by Tenant to the

to

|

the
date the Leased Premises are deemed ready for occupancy and the date for payment
of rent pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall be accelerated by the number
of days of such delays.
4. Early
Entry.
Landlord will permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Leased Premises prior
to
the date the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy, in order that Tenant
may
perform through its own contractors such other work and decorations in and

enter the Leased Premises prior to the date the same are ready for occupancy,
however, is conditioned upon Tenant’s contractors working in harmony and not
interfering with Contractor or any subcontractors. Such license is further
conditioned upon workers’ compensation and public liability insurance and
property damage insurance, all in amounts and with companies and on forms
satisfactory to Landlord, being provided and at all times maintained by Tenant’s
contractors and certificates of such insurance being furnished to Landlord
prior
to Tenant proceeding with any work. Additionally, Tenant’s contractors must
notify and coordinate with Contractor for scheduling work in the Leased
Premises, prior to completion of the Tenant Improvements. So long as normal
day-to-day business activities of Tenant have not commenced during such early
entry, Tenant shall not be considered in occupancy of the Leased Premises.
Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which
may
occur to Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents, workmen and mechanics,
or
any one or more of them, or to any of Tenant’s decorations or installations so
made prior to the Commencement Date, the same being solely at Tenant’s risk and
Tenant indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims
arising therefrom, regardless of whether such claims or damages are based in
whole or in part upon the negligence of Landlord, Contractor or any of their
respective employees, agents or contractors.

to occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall submit to Landlord
and Contractor a written list of any items that are of inferior workmanship
or
incomplete requiring “touch up” or minor finish, or items that are not in

referred to as the “Punch List”). Upon receipt of the Punch List, Contractor
shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to complete the Punch List
items.
