Building and the improvements thereon, and is otherwise permissible pursuant to
this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such consent, Lessor shall within
five (5) business days after such request give a written notification of same,
which notice shall include an explanation of Lessor's reasonable objections to

compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary
materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal course of the
Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose
the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination
or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may
(but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to any Reportable
Use of any Hazardous Substance by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such
additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary
to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the environment against damage,
contamination or injury and/or liability therefor, including but not limited to

or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the
Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional
Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or about the
Premises or the Building, other than as previously consented to by Lessor,
Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written notice thereof, together with a
copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit,

the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the
environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation
(including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee
shall release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to
Hazardous Substances, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the
time of such agreement. See Addendum

plate glass of the Premises.
7.3 Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, Alterations.
(a) Definitions; Consent Required. The term "Utility Installations" is used
in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels, electrical distribution,
security, fire protection systems, communications systems, lighting fixtures,
heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, plumbing and fencing in, on
or about the Premises. The term "Trade Fixtures" shall mean Lessee's machinery
and equipment which can be removed without doing material damage to the
Premises. The term "Alterations" shall mean any modification of the improvements
on the Premises which are provided by Lessor under the terms of this Lease,
other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures. "Lessee-Owned Alterations
and/or Utility Installations" are defined as material Alterations and/or Utility
Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned by Lessor pursuant to
Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make nor cause to be made any Alterations or
Utility Installations in, on, under or about the Premises without Lessor's prior
written consent. Lessee may, however, make non-structural Utility Installations
to the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof) without Lessor's consent
but upon notice to Lessor, so long as they are not visible from the outside of
the Premises, do not involve puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any
existing walls, or changing or interfering with the fire sprinkler system or
fire detection systems and the cumulative cost thereof during the term of this
Lease as extended does not exceed $10,000.00.
(b) Consent. Any alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee shall
desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to
Lessor in written form with detailed plans. All consents given by Lessor,
whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific consent, shall
be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable permits
required by governmental authorities; (ii) the furnishing of copies of such
permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications for the Alteration
or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of the work thereon; and
(iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permits in a prompt
and expeditious manner. Any alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee
during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner,
with good and sufficient materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements. Lessee shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with
as-built plans and specifications thereof. Lessor may, (but without obligation
to do so) condition its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility
Installation that costs $10,000.00 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a
lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation.
(c) Lien Protection. Lessee shall pay when due all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in, or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices
of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall,
in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then
Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor and the
Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment
that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor
or the Premises. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a
surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half times
the amount of such contested lien claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against
liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the Premises free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
7.4 Ownership, Removal, Surrender and Restoration.
(a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to require their removal and to
cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided in this
Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by
Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee, but considered a part of
the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its option, elect in writing to
Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per
Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
become the property of Lessor and remain upon the Premises and be surrendered
with the Premises by Lessee.
(b) Removal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may require that
any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding that their
installation may have been consented to by Lessor. Lessor may require the
removal at any time of all or any part of any Alterations or Utility
Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.
(c) Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the end
of the last day of the lease term or any earlier termination date, clean and
free of debris and in good operating order, condition and state of repair,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not include any
damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance
practice or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this Lease. Except
as otherwise agreed or specified herein, the Premises, as surrendered, shall
include the Alterations and Utility Installations. The obligation of Lessee
shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the installation,
maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, furnishings , equipment, and
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, as well as the removal of
any storage tank installed by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or
remediation of any soil, material or ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as
may then be required by Applicable Requirements and/or good practice. Lessee's
Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by
Lessee subject to its obligation to repair and restore the Premises per this
Lease.
8. Insurance; Indemnity.
8.1 Payment of Premiums. The cost of the premiums for the insurance
policies maintained by Lessor under this Paragraph 8 shall be a Common Area
Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy periods
commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be
prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date or Expiration
Date.
8.2 Liability Insurance.
(a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of Insurance protecting
Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been provided to Lessee in
writing (as additional insureds) against claims for bodily injury, personal
injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas
appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing
single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with
an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" endorsement and contain
the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" endorsement for damage caused by
heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any
intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall
include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "Insured contract"
for the performance of Lessee's Indemnity obligations under this Lease. The
limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall
not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation
hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor whose insurance shall
be considered excess insurance only.
(b) Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall also maintain liability insurance
described in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, in addition to and not in lieu of, the
insurance to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional
insured therein.
8.3 Property Insurance-Building, Improvements and Rental Value.
(a) Building and Improvements. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss
payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss or damage to the
Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as the same shall
exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s), but in no
event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value
thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved,
such latter amount is less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall
be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, Lessor's policy or policies shall insure against all
risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or
earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for any additional
costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement
of any undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed
by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Said
policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of
any co-insurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection
causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor
of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located.
(b) Rental Value. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable
to Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental and other
charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for one year (including
all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area Operating Expenses and
any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may provide that in the event
the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity
for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs
or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss of rental
revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, and the amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income, Real
Property Taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise
payable for the next 12-month period. Common Area Operating Expenses shall
include any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
(c) Adjacent Premises. Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premium for
the property insurance of the Building and for the Common Areas or other
buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts,
omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(d) Lessee's Improvements. Since Lessor is the insuring Party, Lessor shall
not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of
this Lease.
8.4 Lessee's Property Insurance. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph
8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at Lessor's option,
by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance coverage on all
of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee- Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to that
carried by Lessor as the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a). Such insurance
shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to exceed $1,000
per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for
the replacement of personal property and the restoration of Trade Fixtures and
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request from Lessor,
Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in
force.
8.5 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies
duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are located,
and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating" of at
least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender, as set forth
in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide". Lessee shall not do or
permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies
referred to in
4
this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor, within seven (7)
days after the earlier of the Early possession Date or the Commencement Date,
certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of,
the insurance required under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such policy shall be
cancellable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
"insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable
by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies,
Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their
entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against the
other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to the
perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waiver any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.
8.7 Indemnity. Except for Lessor's negligence and/or breach of express
warranties, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the
Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and
Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages,
costs, liens, judgments, penalties, loss of permits, attorneys' and consultants'
fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection
with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of Lessee's business,
any act, omission or neglect or Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees or
invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee in the performance in a
timely manner or any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under this
Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or
pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved herein, and whether
nor not (in the case of claims made against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to
judgment. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason
of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the
same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor
shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any
such claim in order to be so indemnified. See addendum.
8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise, other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers or any other person
in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results
from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damages or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not,
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of
any other lessee or Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the
provisions of any other lease in the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding Lessor's
negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be
liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit
therefrom.
9. Damages or Destruction
9.1 Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty percent (50%) of
the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of the Premises
(excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade
Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the
then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. In addition, damage or destruction to the Building, other than
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures of any
lessees of the Building, the cost of which damage or destruction is fifty
percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the
Building) of the Building shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed to be
Premises Total Destruction.
(c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises, other
than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures,
which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described
in Paragraph 8.3(a) irrespective of any deductible amounts or coverage limits
involved.
(d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition
existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes, ordinances or
laws, and without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the occurrence or discovery
of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous
Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises.
9.2 Premises Partial Damages - Insured Loss. If Premises Partial Damage
that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair
such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event, however, that there is a
shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the premises, full
replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance
proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee
provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof,
within ten (10) days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and
request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof
within said ten (10) day period, Lessor shall complete them as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may
nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter
to make such restoration and repair as a commercially reasonable with Lessor
paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect. If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within such
ten (10) day period, and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then
this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the
damage or destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have
any right to reimbursement form Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to
repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or
earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds
of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either
Party.
9.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. If Premises Partial Damage that is not
an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee
(in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's option, either
(i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which even this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give
written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to terminate this
Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the
event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this
Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of
such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for
the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without reimbursement
from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds or satisfactory
assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment from Lessee.
In such even this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor
shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the
required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide
the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified above, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by
Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee
except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7. 9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If
at any time during the last six (6) months of the term of this Lease there is
damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or
not an Insured Loss, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, terminate this Lease
effective sixty (60) days following the date of occurrence of such damage by
giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within thirty (30)
days after the date of occurrence of such damage. Provided, however, if Lessee
at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the
Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by (a) exercising such option, and
(b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate
assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i)
the date which is ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written
notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date
upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly exercises such option during such
period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover
any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense repair
such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds
or assurance during such period, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date
set forth in the first sentence of this Paragraph 9.5.
9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.
(a) In the event of(i) Premises Partial damage or (ii) Hazardous Substance
Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent, Common
Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder
for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair, remediation or
restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which
Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from
insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of
Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as
aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by
Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by
reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under
the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and
meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90)
days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the
commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to
any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate
this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following giving of such
notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair
or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If
Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the premises within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean
either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans,
or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
9.7 Hazardous Substance Conditions. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefore (in which case Lessee
shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable
Requirements of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject
5
to Lessor's right under Paragraph 6.2(c) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may at
Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance
Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the
estimated cost to investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000 whichever is greater, give written
notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of
the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's Intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such
Hazardous Substance Condition to the extent required by Applicable
Requi8rements, over (b) an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly
Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with
the funds required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty
(30) days following said commitment by Lessee. In such event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such
investigation and remediation as soon as possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or
assurance thereof within the time period specified above, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
9.8 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant
to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment made by
Lessee to Lessor and such much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not been, or
is not then require to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this Lease.
9.9 Waiver of Status. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and the
Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the
provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is inconsistent
herewith.
10. Real Property Taxes.
10.1 Payment of Taxes. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as defined
in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Industrial Center, and except as otherwise
provided in Paragraph 10.3, any such amounts shall be included in the
calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 4.2.
10.2 Real Property Tax Definition. As used herein, the term "Real Property
Taxes" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than Inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed upon the Industrial Center by any authority having the
direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal
government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage, or
other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or equitable
interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or any portion thereof, Lessor's
right to rent or other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of leasing the
Premises. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall also including any tax, fee,
levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of events

include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the

Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax

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 Lessees' 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, including but not limited to electricity, telephone, security,
gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such
utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or separately
billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable proportion to be
determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or billed with other
Premises in the Building, in the manner and within the timer periods set forth
in Paragraph 4.2(d).
12. See Addendum.

13. Default; Breach; Remedies.
13.1 Default; Breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
Hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said
notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "Default" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"Breach" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the
following Defaults, and where a grace period for cure after notice is specified
herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of
the applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:
(a) Paragraph intentionally omitted.
(b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by
Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent; Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating
Expenses, or any other monetary payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder
as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable
evidence of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, or the failure
of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or
threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of five
(5) days following written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by
Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly executed
original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable Requirements per
Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service contracts required
under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or
subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37,
(v) the subordination or non-subordination of this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi)
the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease if
required under Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii) the execution of any document
requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii) any other documentation or
information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of
this lease, where any such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days
following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof that
are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those
described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for more than 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 require 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 U.S. Code Section 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (3) days; provided, however, in the even
that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable
law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions.
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 own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or without further notice or demand,
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease and term hereof shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time of the aware
of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the
worth at the time of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been
earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iiv) any other
amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused
by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but
not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of
reletting , including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by
Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this
Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision
(iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting
such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or
the Federal Reserve Bank District in which the Premises are located at the time
of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by
Lessee's Default or Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to
recover damages under this Paragraph 13.2 . If termination of this Lease is
obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have
the right to recover in such proceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are
recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part
thereof in a separate suite for such rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace
period required under Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given,
a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given
to Lessee under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful
detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes
required by Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace
period under the unlawful detainer statue shall run concurrently after the one
such statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the
greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful
detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided
for in this Lessee's right to possession.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect (in
California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach and
recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the right to sublet or
assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Lessor and Lessee agree that the
limitations on assignment and subletting in this Lease are reasonable. Acts of
maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment
of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interest under this Lease, shall not
constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the
laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
7
(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of
Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any
indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during
the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 Inducement Recapture in Event of Breach. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which
concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions" shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, any such
Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration therefore 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,. The acceptance
by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation for
this Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of
this Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the
time of such acceptance.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee shall not
be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue
amount. The Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no even constitute
a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.
13.5 Breach by Lessor. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a reasonable
time shall be thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor, and by any Lender(s)
whose name and address shall have been furnished to Lessee in writing for such
purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not
been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days after such notice are reasonably required
for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach of this Lease if
performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursued to completion.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date of condemning authority taxes title or
possession , whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of
the Common Area designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date of 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 the total rentable floor area of the Premises. NO reduction of Base Rent
shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion for the Premises.
Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of
eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power
shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation
expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages required to complete such repair.
15. Broker's Fees.
15.1 Procuring Cause. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are the
procuring cause of this Lease.
15.2 Additional Terms. Unless Lessor and Broker(s) have otherwise agreed in
writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as defined in
Paragraph 39.1) 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 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 to
the Premises and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or
9e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an
escalation clause herein, then as to any said transactions, Lessor shall pay
said Broker(s) a 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 Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation of
law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph
15. Each Broker shall be an intended thirty party beneficiary of the provisions
of Paragraph 1.100 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its interest in any
commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right directly against
Lessor and its successors.
15.4 Representations and Warranties. Lessee and Lessor each represent and
warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker
or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other
than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in
connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to
indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against
liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed
broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of
the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or attorneys' fee
reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
16. Tenancy and Financial Statements.
16.1 Tenancy Statement. Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall within ten
(10) days after written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting Party")
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing
in a form similar to the then most current "Tenancy Statement" form published by
the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional
information, confirmation and/ro statements as may be reasonably requested by
the Requesting Party.
17. Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean the owner or
owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the event of
a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or
covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to
the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by
the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as herein above defined.
18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way effect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder,
other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10) days following
the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date on which it was
due, shall bear interest from the date due at the prime rate charged by the
largest state charted bank in the state in which the Premises are located plus
four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law,
in addition to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
21. Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.
22. No Prior or other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This Lease contains all
agreements between the Parties with respect of any matter mentioned herein, and
no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.
Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it has made,
and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality,
character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as
to the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either Party. Each Broker shall be an intended thirty party
beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 22.
23. Notices.
23.1 Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease
shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or
courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S.
Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid or by facsimile transmission
during normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served
in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a
Party's signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for delivery or
mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to the other
specificy a different address for notice purposes, except that upon Lessee's
taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's
address for the purpose of mailing or delivering such notices to Lessee. A copy
of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be
concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice to Lessee.
23.2 Date of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on
the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. It sent
by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after
the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantees next day
8
delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same
to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any notice is transmitted by
facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed served or
delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation of receipt of the
transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If
notice is received on a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal holiday, it shall be
deemed received on the next business day.
24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant
or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other terms,
covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee
of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's consent
to, or approval of, any such act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act
by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision
or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. Regardless of Lessor's
knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting rent, the acceptance
of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee of
any provision hereof. Any payment given Lessor by Lessee may be accepted by
Lessor on account of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any
qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the
time of deposit of such payment.
25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.
26. No Right to Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to one hundred twenty five
(125%) percent of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately
preceding such expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall
be construed as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
available in law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the Parties,
their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the
laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation between the
Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which
the Premises are located.
30. Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.
30.1 Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default pursuant
to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security device and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor, or with respect to event occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one month's rent.
30.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease
shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from the
Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to extend
the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof
and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.
30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this paragraph 30 shall be
effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.
31. Attorneys' Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as
hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same
suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding
is pursued to decision or judgment. The term "Prevailing Party" shall include,
without limitations, a party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the
relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment,
or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The
attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee
schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably
incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses
incurred in preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in
connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in
connection with such Default or resulting Breach. Broker(s) shall be intended
third party beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.
32. Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alternations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Lessor
may reasonably deem necessary and upon prior written or telephonic notice to
Lessee. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or Building any
ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred
eighty (180) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of
rent or liability to Lessee.
33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the Premises or
the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent,
install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise
Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location designated by
Lessor and comply with applicable Requirements and the signage criteria
established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of any sign on
the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7
(Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alternations).
Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use
of the roof of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, including the roof, which do not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such
advertising signs. See Addendum.
35. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise by Lessor, the
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or
cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee,
shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises;
provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender, termination
or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any existing
subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such event to
make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any
such lessor interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event
constitute the termination of such interest.
36. Consents.
(a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise provided
herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to an act by
or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including but not
limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees)
incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any
Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including but not
limited to consents to an assignment a subletting or the presence of use of a
Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit
described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may, as a condition to considering any
such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of
money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably
calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering and
responding to Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said deposit shall be
refunded to Lessee without interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of
this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an

and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely
exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of this

documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights,
dedication, map or restrictions.

amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of
said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged

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

determination of the MRV and submit such determination, in writing, to
arbitration in accordance with the following provisions:

Page 1 of 2
(ii) The three arbitrators shall within thirty days of the appointment of
the third arbitrator reach a decision as to what the actual MRV for the Premises
is, and whether Lessor's or Lessee's submitted MRV is the closest thereto. The
decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be binding on the Parties. The
submitted MRV which is determined to be the closest to the actual MRV shall
