verification of such deficiency, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to
Landlord.

amend or terminate any Easement Agreement, give any consent or approval
thereunder, or enter into any new Easement Agreement without, in each case, the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any such new
-19-
22
Easement Agreement shall automatically be a Permitted Encumbrance.
(c) Not more frequently than once every three (3) years and at any other
time that, in the opinion of Landlord or Lender, a reasonable basis exists to
believe that an Environmental Violation of an Environmental Law or any other
material Environmental Violation exists or a condition that could be reasonably
expected to result in an Environmental Violation exists, upon prior written
notice from Landlord or Lender, Tenant shall permit such persons as Landlord or
Lender may designate ("Site Reviewers") to visit the Leased Premises at
reasonable times agreed to by Tenant and perform, as agents of Tenant,
environmental site investigations and assessments ("Site Assessments") on the
Leased Premises for the purpose of investigating the Leased Premises. In
addition to the permitted Site Assessments, the Site Reviewers shall have the
right to obtain from Tenant information reasonably necessary to update any Site
Assessment. Such Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground
testing for Environmental Violations and such other tests as may be reasonably
necessary; in the opinion of the Site Reviewers, to conduct the Site
Assessments. Tenant shall supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and
operational information regarding the Leased Premises as may be reasonably
requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments, and shall
make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel
having knowledge of such matters. Landlord shall pay the cost of any such Site
Assessment unless an Environmental Violation is found, in which event the cost
shall be paid by Tenant.
(d) If an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist and, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, the cost of remediation of the same is likely to
exceed $250,000, or, if an Event of Default under Paragraph 22(a)(i) hereof has
occurred during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period, $50,000,
Tenant shall provide to Landlord, and Lender within ten (10) days after
Landlord's request therefor, adequate financial assurances that Tenant will
effect such remediation in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if an Environmental
Violation occurs or is found to exist that would render the Leased Premises
untenantable or unmarketable and the Term would otherwise terminate or expire,
then, at the option of Landlord, the Term shall be automatically extended beyond
the date of termination or expiration and this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect beyond such date until the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of
all remedial action in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws or (ii) the
date specified in a written notice from Landlord to Tenant terminating this
Lease.

(f) If Tenant fails to comply with (or promptly commence to comply with
and diligently pursue to completion) any requirement of any Environmental Law in
connection with any Environmental Violation which occurs or is found to exist,

required if any emergency exists) Landlord shall have the right (but no
obligation) to take any and all actions as Landlord shall deem necessary or
advisable in order to cure such Environmental Violation.
(g) Tenant shall notify Landlord and Lender immediately after becoming
aware of any Environmental Violation (or alleged Environmental Violation) or
noncompliance with any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 10 and shall

the prior written approval of Landlord and Lender. Tenant represents and
warrants to Landlord that the indemnity under clause (f) of Section 6.2 includes
1, 1-dichloroethene on the Lease Premises.

carried under a "blanket" or umbrella policy or policies covering other
properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such "blanket" or umbrella
policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 16 and
provided further that such policies shall provide for a reserved amount
thereunder with respect to the Leased Premises so as to assure that the amount
of insurance required by this Paragraph 16 will be available notwithstanding any
losses with respect to other property covered by such blanket policies. The

-28-
31

contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this Paragraph 16

-29-
32
(C) In the event of a Casualty that is not a Termination
Event where the proceeds are equal to or less than $500,000 and
unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, or if a fact
or condition exists which with the lapse of time or giving of
notice, of both, would in Landlord's judgment constitute an Event
of Default, at the time such proceeds are paid, the Net Award
shall be payable to Tenant. Tenant shall apply the Net Award to
restoration of the Leased Promises in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Lease.
(iii) In the event that Tenant is listed as a payee on a check
from an insurance carrier for insurance proceeds which subparagraphs

-30-
33
17. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If any Casualty occurs the insurance proceeds for which is reasonably
estimated by Tenant to be equal to or in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000), Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender immediate notice thereof. So
long as no Event of Default exists Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust,
collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required
by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person
other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and to execute and deliver on behalf of
Tenant all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by
the insurers and Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. Any
adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim in excess of $500,000
shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and Landlord shall have the right
to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such
claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise. If an Event of Default exists,
Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or compromise any such claim or
to participate with Landlord in any adjustment, collection and compromise of the
Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the
request of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases.
Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said
policies in excess of $500,000 and return of unearned premiums, directly to
Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage or requested by Lender pursuant to the
Mortgage, to Lender instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby
appoints each of Landlord and Lender as Tenant's attorneys-in-fact to endorse
any draft therefor. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) shall be
extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(b) Tenant, immediately upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify
Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is
authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and
Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant herein. If an Event of Default
exists, Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the
amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with
Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or
to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. No
agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation
shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the provisions of
this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or
payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation,
whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant's leasehold interest
hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant's right to
any
-31-
34
award or payment on account of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment or other
tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of
business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have
the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the
condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of
the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord's fee
interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise
payable for the Condemnation of Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder. The
rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender
if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(c) If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial
Condemnation shall occur, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event,
and there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Monetary Obligations, except
as provided in Paragraph 17(d) and 19(c). Promptly after such Partial Casualty
or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a), shall commence
and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as practicable
to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event. Upon
the receipt by Landlord of the entire Net Award of such Partial Casualty or
Partial Condemnation, Landlord shall make such Net Award available to Tenant for
restoration in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19(a).
If any Casualty or Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial
Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of
Paragraph 18.
(d) In the event of a Requisition of any of the Leased Premises, if any Net
Award payable by reason of such Requisition is retained by Landlord or Lender,
each installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the date on which the Net
Award is paid to Landlord shall be reduced by a fraction, the denominator of
which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and
including the last day such Requisition remains in effect and the numerator of
which shall be the amount of such Net Award retained by Landlord. Upon the
expiration of the Term, any portion of such Net Award which shall not have been
previously credited to Tenant shall be retained by Landlord.

18. Termination Events.
(a) If (i) the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking or (ii) any
substantial portion of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking or all or
any substantial portion of the Leased Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by
a Casualty and, in such case, Tenant certifies to Landlord that it will forever
abandon operations at the Leased Premises (each of the events described in the
above clauses (i) and (ii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Termination
Event"), then (x) in the case of (i) above, Tenant shall be obligated, within
thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice and (y) in the case
of (ii) above, Tenant shall have the option, within thirty (30) days after
Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice or thirty (30) days after the Casualty, as
the case may be, to give to Landlord written notice of the Tenant's option to
terminate this Lease (a "Termination Notice") in the form described in Paragraph
18(b).
(b) A Termination Notice shall contain (i) notice of Tenant's intention to
terminate this Lease on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least
ninety (90) days after the Fair Market Value Date (the "Termination Date"), (ii)
a binding and irrevocable offer of Tenant to purchase the Leased Premises for an
amount equal to the Termination Amount and (iii) if the Termination Event is an
event described in Paragraph 18(a)(ii), the certification described therein and
a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same.
Promptly upon the delivery to Landlord of a Termination Notice, Landlord and
Tenant shall commence to determine the Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises.
(c) If Landlord shall reject such offer to purchase the Leased Premises by
written notice to Tenant (a "Rejection"), which Rejection shall contain the
written consent of Lender, not later than thirty (30) days following the Fair
Market Value Date, then this Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date;
provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary Obligations and all
other obligations and liabilities under this Lease which have arisen on or prior
to the Termination Date (collectively, "Remaining Obligations") on the
Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which
this Lease may terminate to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent
Payment Date after the Termination Date on which Tenant has satisfied all
Remaining Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii) Tenant
shall promptly vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest in or
to any of the Leased Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be retained by
Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove contained, if
Tenant shall have received a Rejection and, on the date when this Lease would
otherwise terminate as provided above, Landlord shall not have received the full
amount of the Net Award payable by reason of the applicable Termination Event,
then on the Termination Date
-33-
36
Tenant shall assign to Landlord all of its right, title and interest, it any, in
and to the Net Award.
(d) Unless Tenant shall have received a Rejection not later than the
thirtieth (30th) day following the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall be
conclusively presumed to have accepted such offer. If such offer is accepted by
Landlord then, on the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Lender
if the Mortgage requires or permits Lender to so require) the Termination Amount
and all Remaining Obligations and, if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall (i)
convey to Tenant the Leased Premises or the remaining portion thereof, if any,
and (ii) pay to or assign to Tenant its entire interest in and to the Net Award,
all in accordance with Paragraph 20.
19. Restoration; Reduction of Rent.
(a) So long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and
including $500,000 shall be paid directly to Tenant and Tenant shall restore the
Leased Premises in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 13(b) of this
Lease. Any Net Award in excess of $500,000 shall be made available by Landlord
to Tenant for the restoration of any of the Leased Premises, and Landlord (or
Lender if required by any Mortgage or if the Mortgage permits Lender to so
require) shall hold such Net Award in a fund (the "Restoration Fund") and
disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following
conditions:
(i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects,
contracts, contractors, plans and specifications for the restoration shall
have been approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed and (B) Landlord and Lender shall, upon
reasonable request and based upon a review of the contractor's and prime
subcontractors' credit, be provided with acceptable performance bonds which
insure satisfactory completion of the restoration, are in an amount and
form and have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord and Lender
as additional dual obligees;
(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist
and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed against any
of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged;
(iii) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not
exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, upon
receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects' certificates,
of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and
performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in
accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of
liens, (C)
-34-
37
contractors' and subcontractors' sworn statements as to completed work and
the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory
bringdown of title insurance and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so
that Landlord and Lender can verify that the amounts disbursed from time
to time are represented by work that is completed, in place and free and
clear of mechanics' and materialmen's lien claims;
(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a
certificate of Tenant, signed by the president or a vice president or the
chief financial officer of Tenant, describing the work for which payment
is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating
that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon
completion of the work, also stating that the work has been fully
completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;
(v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of the restoration fund
until the restoration is fully completed;
(vi) if the Restoration Fund is held by Lender it may be commingled
with Lender's other funds and shall bear interest unless otherwise
required by Lender; if it is held by Landlord it shall be commingled with
Landlord's other funds and shall bear interest at the best available
interest rate; and
(vii) such other reasonable conditions to insure timely, lien free
completion of the restoration as Landlord or Lender may impose.
(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during
restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and
clear of all liens, as determined by Landlord or if required by a Mortgage or by
Lender pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage, to Lender, exceeds the amount of the
Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess shall, upon
demand by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord or if required by a Mortgage
or by Lender pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage, to Lender to be added to the
Restoration Fund. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Restoration
Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For purposes of
determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds
remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be deemed to
be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.
(c) if any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the
restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 19(b), such sum (the
"Remaining Sum") shall be retained by Landlord or, if required by a Note or
Mortgage or by Lender pursuant to the terms of a Note or Mortgage, paid by
-35-
38
Landlord to a Lender. If the Remaining Sum is (i) retained by Landlord, each
installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the Retention Date shall be
reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the total amount of all
Basic Rent due from such date to and including the last Basic Rent Payment Date
for the then existing Term and the numerator of which shall be the Remaining
Sum, or (ii) paid to Lender, then each installment of Basic Rent thereafter
payable shall be reduced in the same amount as payments are reduced under any
Note as if the Loan were reamortized to reflect such payment, in each case until
such Remaining Sum has been applied in full or until the Term has expired,
whichever occurs first. Landlord agrees that if the terms of a Note or Mortgage
permit partial prepayment of the principal balance of the Loan without premium
or penalty and, in such event, require the Lender to thereupon reamortize the
Loan, Landlord shall pay any Remaining Sum to Lender as a partial prepayment of
the Loan and clause (ii) of this Paragraph 19(c) shall apply. Upon the
expiration of the Term, any portion of the Remaining Sum which has not been so
applied shall be retained by Landlord.
20. Procedures Upon Purchase.
(a) If the Leased Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to any provision
of this Lease, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which
was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant shall accept such title, subject, however,
to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and
restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises and to all
applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any
Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or
relating to the Leased Premises which have been created by or resulted solely
from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are
Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased
Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a
default by Tenant under this Lease.
(b) Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises
pursuant to any provision of this Lease (any such date the "Purchase Date"),
through an appropriate escrow, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to
whom Landlord directs payment, the Relevant Amount therefor specified herein, in
Federal Funds, less any credit of the Net Award received and retained by
Landlord or a Lender allowed against the Relevant Amount, and Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant (i) a special warranty deed which describes the premises being
conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 20(a), (ii) such
other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee
any other property (or rights to any Net Award not yet received by Landlord or a
Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease
and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord, not credited to Tenant
-36-
39
against the Relevant Amount and required to be delivered by Landlord to Tenant
pursuant to this Lease; provided, that if any Monetary Obligations remain
outstanding on such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount
of such Monetary Obligations; and further provided, that if any event has
occurred which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, is likely to subject any
Indemnitee to any liability which Tenant is required to indemnify against
pursuant to Paragraph 15, then an amount shall be deducted from the Net Award
which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, is sufficient to satisfy such
liability, which amount shall be deposited in an escrow account with a financial
institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant on terms reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant pending resolution of such matter. If on the
Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding and no Net Award is
payable to Tenant by Landlord or the amount of such Net Award is less than the
amount of the Monetary Obligations, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the
Purchase Date the amount of such Monetary Obligations. Upon the completion of
such purchase, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant
hereunder shall terminate, except any Surviving Obligations.
(c) If the Tenant shall cause completion of such purchase to be delayed
after (i) the Termination Date, in the event of a purchase pursuant to Paragraph
18 or, (ii) the date scheduled for such purchase, in the event of a purchase
under any other provision of this Lease then (x) Rent shall continue to be due
and payable until completion of such purchase and (y) at Landlord's sole option,
Fair Market Value shall be redetermined and the Relevant Amount payable by
Tenant pursuant to the applicable provision of this Lease shall be adjusted to
reflect such redetermination. Landlord shall not be deemed to have caused
completion of such purchase to be delayed if it in good faith disputes the
process or methodology for determining Fair Market Value.
(d) Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as
of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from
the Relevant Amount due to Landlord.
21. Assignment and Subletting; Prohibition against Leasehold Financing.
(a) Tenant shall have the right so long as an Event of Default has not
occurred and is continuing, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord and Lender, with no consent of Landlord or Lender being required or
necessary ("Preapproved Assignment") to assign this Lease to any Person
("Preapproved Assignee") that is a Subsidiary of Tenant on the date hereof or
that, after the date hereof, is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Tenant or which,
whether or not in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially
all of Tenant's business, immediately following such assignment satisfies all
-37-
40
published criteria necessary to obtain a publicly traded unsecured senior debt
rating of "A" or better from Xxxxx'x Investors Services, Inc. or a rating of "A"
or better from Standard & Poor's Corporation, and in the event all of such
rating agencies cease to furnish such ratings, then a comparable rating by any
rating agency reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Lender.
(b) During the Initial Term, if Tenant desires to assign this Lease to a
Person ("Non-Preapproved Assignee") who would not be a Preapproved Assignee
("Non-Preapproved Assignment") then Tenant shall, not less than ninety (90) days
prior to the date on which it desires to make a Non-Preapproved Assignment
submit to Landlord and Lender information regarding the following with respect
to the Non-Preapproved Assignee: (A) credit, (B) capital structure, (C)
management, (D) operating history, (E) proposed use of the Leased Premises and
(F) risk factors associated with the proposed use of the Leased Premises by the
Non-Preapproved Assignee, taking into account factors such as environmental
concerns, product liability and the like. Landlord and Lender shall review such
information and shall approve or disapprove the Non-Preapproved Assignee no
later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of all such information,
and Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in granting or
withholding consent if such grant or disapproval is based on their review of the
above-described criteria. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the request for consent to a Non-Preapproved Assignment is in
connection with the sale by Tenant of all or substantially all of its assets,
Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the Non-Preapproved
Assignment so long an an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing and
if, immediately after the assignment, the Non-Preapproved Assignee has, on a pro
forma basis, an Adjusted Consolidated Net Worth (as defined in Exhibit "E") of
not less than Fifty-three Million Dollars ($53,000,000).
(c) After the Initial Term, if Tenant desires to carry out a
Non-Preapproved Assignment, then Tenant shall, not less than fifteen (15) days
prior to the date on which it desires to make such Non-Preapproved Assignment,
submit to Landlord (and Lender, if Lender's consent to the Pre-Approved
Assignment is required), reasonable information regarding the identity and
credit of the Non-Preapproved Assignee. Landlord (and Lender, if applicable)
shall review such information and shall, no later than the fifteenth (15th) day
following receipt of such information, approve or disapprove the Non-Preapproved
Assignee. Such approval shall be deemed given if the net worth of the
Non-Preapproved Assignee is greater than or equal to the net worth of the Tenant
as shown on its then most recently prepared financial statements, and otherwise
such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
-38-
41
(d) If Landlord and Lender withhold consent to the Non-Preapproved
Assignment and Tenant desires to complete the Non-Preapproved Assignment, Tenant
shall make a rejectable offer (the "Intended Assignment Offer") to purchase the
Leased Premises for a purchase price equal to the Offer Amount and to consummate
the purchase on the first Basic Rent Payment Date occurring thirty (30) days
after the determination of Fair Market Value (the "Intended Assignment Purchase
Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Intended Assignment Offer is
accepted by Landlord and the Non-Preapproved Assignment occurs on a date (the
"Assignment Date") that is prior to the Intended Assignment Purchase Date, then
no later than the Assignment Date, then on the Assignment Date Tenant shall
deposit in escrow with Lender an amount (the "Deposit Amount") equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the sum of the Acquisition Cost and any Prepayment
Premium. The Deposit Amount shall be held by and invested by Landlord and the
Deposit Amount, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be applied on
the Intended Assignment Purchase Date to payment of the Offer Amount.
(e) If Landlord shall reject the Intended Assignment Offer by notice to
Tenant, such notice to contain the written consent of Lender to such rejection,
no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of the Intended
Assignment Offer by Landlord, then this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the
Non-Preapproved Assignment. Nothing provided herein shall constitute a waiver by
Landlord of the obligation of Tenant re comply with the requirements of this
Paragraph 21(a)(iii) if a subsequent Non-Preapproved Assignment arises. No
rejection of the Intended Assignment Offer shall be effective for any purpose
unless consented to in writing by Lender.
(f) Unless Landlord shall have rejected the Intended Assignment Offer by
the foregoing notice to Tenant not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following
receipt of information described in the foregoing Paragraph 21(a)(ii), Landlord
shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted the Intended Assignment Offer.
If the Intended Assignment Offer is accepted by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the Offer Amount (less the Deposit Amount and interest thereon paid to
Landlord) on the Intended Assignment Purchase Date and, provided that no Rent
or any other charge is due and unpaid under this Lease as of the Intended
Assignment Purchase Date and Tenant is otherwise in compliance with the terms of
this Lease, Landlord shall convey to Tenant the Leased Premises in accordance
with the provisions of Paragraph 20 of this Lease.
(g) Any assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease by operation of law
as a result of any merger or consolidation by Tenant shall be governed by the
provisions of Paragraph l(c) of Exhibit "E".
-39-
42
(h) Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice
to Landlord and Lender, to enter into one or more subleases that demise, in the
aggregate, up to but not in excess of thirty-one percent (31%) of the gross
space in the Improvements with no consent or approval of Landlord being required
or necessary ("Preapproved Sublet"). Other than pursuant to a Preapproved
Sublet, during the Initial Term, no portion of the Leased Premises shall be
subleased during the Term to any other Person without the prior written consent
of Landlord and Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and which consent shall be granted or withheld based on a review of the
following criteria as they relate to the proposed sublessee: (i) credit, (2)
capital structure, (3) management, (4) operating history and (5) the proposed
use of the sublet portion of the Improvements, taking into account factors
related to the proposed subtenant's use of the Leased Premises such as
environmental concerns. Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have acted
reasonably in granting or withholding consent if such grant or disapproval is
based on their reasonable review of the above-described criteria.
(i) After the Initial Term, if Tenant desires to sublet any portion of the
Leased Premises other than as permitted by the first sentence of subparagraph
(i) above, then Tenant shall, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date
on which it desires to enter into such sublease, submit to Landlord regarding
the identity and credit of the proposed subtenant. Landlord shall review such
information and shall, no later than the fifteenth (15th) day following receipt
of such information, approve or disapprove the proposed sublease. Such approval
shall be deemed given if the net worth of the proposed subtenant is greater than
or equal to the net worth of the Tenant as shown on its then most recently
prepared financial statements, and otherwise such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(j) If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the
assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of
Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which
may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written
instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. Each sublease
of any of the Leased Premises shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions
of this Lease. No assignment or sublease made as permitted by this Paragraph 21
shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such
obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a
principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease
had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations
on Landlord under this Lease.
(k) With respect to any Preapproved Assignment or Preapproved Sublet,
Tenant shall provide to Landlord information
-40-
43
reasonably required by Landlord to establish that any proposed Preapproved
Assignment or Preapproved Sublet satisfies the criteria set forth above.
(l) Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of
any assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord, deliver a duplicate
original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be
in recordable form.
(m) As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease,
Tenant hereby grants, conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and
interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now in existence or hereinafter
entered into for any or all of the Leased Premises, any and all extensions,
modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom.
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and
other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises,
provided, however, that Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time
during the existence of an Event of Default, upon notice to Tenant and any
subtenants, to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money
and to retain the same. Tenant shall not consent to, cause or allow any
modification or alteration of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any
of the subleases or the termination thereof, without the prior written approval
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall Tenant
do nor permit anything to be done, the doing of which, nor omit or refrain from
doing anything, the omission of which, will or could be a breach of or default
in the terms of any of the subleases.
(n) Tenant shall have the right to grant a first lien leasehold mortgage
on, or to pledge its leasehold interest in, the Leased Premises to its senior
lender, but shall not have the power to otherwise mortgage, pledge or otherwise
encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of the Leased Premises,
and any other such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in violation of this
Paragraph 21 shall be void. Landlord and Lender shall execute such documents as
may be reasonably requested by Tenant's senior lender and are customarily
acceptable to Landlord and Lender in order to afford to such senior lender
rights of notice and an opportunity to cure an Event of Default and the benefits
of any non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant, provided,
however, that any entity that becomes a successor tenant under this Paragraph
21(g) shall be required to be in compliance with all of the terms of this Lease,
including, during the Initial Term, the Covenants.
(o) Subject to Tenant's rights under Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx may sell or
transfer the Leased Premises at any time without Tenant's consent to any third
party (each a "Third Party Purchaser"), provided, that so long as no Event of
Default
-41-
44
exists either at the time Landlord enters into an Agreement of Sale for the
purchase of the Leased Premises or on the date of conveyance to a Third Party
Purchaser, Landlord shall not sell the Leased Premises to any Person whose
primary business is the manufacturing of equipment that makes masks for the
semi-conductor industry. In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn
to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser
and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer and such Third Party
Purchaser assumes in writing the obligations of Landlord under this Lease. At
the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the
agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably
request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and
obligations of Tenant hereunder.
22. Events of Default.
(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after expiration of
any applicable cure period as provided in Paragraph 22(b)) shall, at the sole
option of Landlord, constitute an "Event of Default" under this Lease:

Obligation, regardless of the reason for such failure;

or breach of, any other provision hereof not otherwise specifically

borrowed money having an outstanding principal balance of $10,000,000 or
more in the aggregate, or in the performance of any other provision
contained in any instrument under which any such obligation is created or
secured (including the breach of any covenant thereunder), (x) if such
payment is a payment at maturity or a final payment, or (y) if a result of
such default is to cause such obligation to be accelerated prior to its
stated maturity;
(v) a default by Tenant beyond any applicable cure period in the
payment of rent under, or in the performance of any other material
provision of, any other lease or leases that have, in the aggregate,
-42-

aggregate if the landlord under any such lease or leases commences to
terminate such lease or leases, dispossess Tenant or accelerate the rent
payable thereunder;
(vi) a final, non-appealable judgment or judgments for the payment of
money in excess of $10,000,000 (less any amounts payable from the proceeds
of insurance in the aggregate shall be rendered against Tenant and the same
shall not be payable from the proceeds of insurance and shall remain
undischarged, unbonded or unsatisfied for a period of sixty (60)
consecutive days;

or any jurisdiction, (D) make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or (E) be unable to pay its debts as they mature;
(ix) a court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing,
without the consent of Tenant, a receiver or trustee for it or for any of
the Leased Premises or approving a petition filed against Tenant which
seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United
States, any state or any jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree
shall remain undischarged or unstayed ninety (90) days after it is entered;
(x) the Leased Premises shall have been vacated (i,e., ceased to be
operated on a consistent basis) except as permitted under, and subject to
the terms and conditions of, Paragraph 38 hereof or the Leased Promises
shall have been abandoned;
(xi) Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin
proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;
(xii) the estate or interest of Tenant in any of the Leased Premises
shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or
interest is about
-43-
46
to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or
discharged within sixty (60) days after it is made,
(xiii) a failure by Tenant, following any notice and an opportunity
to cure, to perform or observe, or a violation or breach of, or a
misrepresentation by Tenant under any provision of any Assignment or any
other document between Tenant and Lender that, as to such Assignment or
other document, (A) recites that a breach, violation or misrepresentation
by Tenant thereunder will cause a default under the Loan and (B) provides
that Lender will give to Tenant any notice of such default that it is
required to give to Landlord, if such failure, violation, breach or
misrepresentation gives rise to a default beyond any applicable cure period
with respect to any Loan; or
(xiv) a failure by Tenant to maintain in effect any occupancy permit
for the Leased Premises or permit required under any Environmental Law.
(b) No notice or cure period shall be required in any one or more of the

(except as otherwise set forth below), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x)
(except as otherwise set forth below), (xi), (xii) or (xiii) of Paragraph 22(a);
(B) the default consists of a failure to pay Basic Rent, a failure to provide
any insurance required by Paragraph 16 or an assignment or sublease entered into
in violation of Paragraph 21; or (C) the default is such that any delay in the
exercise of a remedy by Landlord could reasonably be expected to cause
irreparable non-monetary harm to Landlord. If the default consists of the
failure to pay any Monetary Obligation under clause (i) of Paragraph 22(a), the
applicable cure period shall be five (5) days from the date on which notice is
given, but Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice of, or allow any cure
period for, any such default more than twice within any Lease Year. If the
default consists of a default under clauses (iv), (v) or (x) the applicable cure
period shall be ten (10) days from the date on which notice is given provided

other than the events specified in clauses (B) and (C) of the first sentence of
this Paragraph 22(b), the applicable cure period shall be twenty (20) days from
the date on which notice is given or, if the default cannot be cured within such
twenty (20) day period, the cure period shall be extended for the period
required to cure the default (but such cure period, including any extension,
shall not in the aggregate
-44-
47
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days), provided that Tenant shall commence to
cure the default within the said twenty-day period and shall actively,
diligently and in good faith proceed with and continue the curing of the default
until it shall be fully cured.
23. Remedies and Damages Upon Default.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord
shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise its remedies and to collect
damages from Tenant in accordance with this Paragraph 23, without demand upon or
notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 22(b) and this
Paragraph 23.
(i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to
terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such date,
this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder
shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately
surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in
accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver
possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the
Leased Premises, with or without legal process, by peaceably entering the
Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary proceedings, ejectment or
any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking
possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by peaceable means or
legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be
under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or
removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may (A)
exercise the remedy set forth in and collect the damages permitted by
Paragraph 23(a)(iii) or (B) collect the damages set forth in Paragraph
23(c).
(ii) After repossession of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i)
above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to
such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such
conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may
determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such
reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such
reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding
any such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph
23(c).
-45-
48
(iii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord may, upon
notice to Tenant, require Tenant to make an irrevocable offer to terminate
this Lease upon payment to Landlord of an amount (the "Default Termination
Amount") specified in the next sentence. The "Default Termination Amount"
shall be the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises,
or (B) the sum of the Acquisition Cost and Prepayment Premium which
Landlord will be required to pay in prepaying any Loan with proceeds of the
Default Termination Amount. Upon such notice to Tenant, Tenant shall be
deemed to have made such offer and shall, if requested by Landlord, within
ten (10) days following such request deposit with Landlord as payment
against the Default Termination Amount the amount described in (B) above,
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly commence to determine Fair Market Value.
Within thirty (30) days after the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall
accept or reject such offer. If Landlord accepts such offer then, on the
tenth (10th) business day after such acceptance, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the Default Termination Amount and, at the request of Tenant,
Landlord will convey the Leased Premises to Tenant or its designee in
accordance with Paragraph 20. Any rejection by Landlord of such offer shall
have no effect on any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease.
(b) In addition to its other rights under this Lease, Landlord has the
remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 which provides
substantially as follows: Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after
Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover the Rent as it becomes due. In
accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (or any successor statute),
Tenant acknowledges that in the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons
the Leased Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord
does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all of
its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the
Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the
limitations on subletting and assignment set forth in Paragraph 21 are
reasonable. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Leased
Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect
Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of
Tenant's right to possession.
(c) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Landlord may collect from Tenant damages computed in
accordance with the following provisions in addition to Landlord's other
remedies under this Lease:
-46-
49
(i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which has been
earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which any unpaid
Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have
been reasonably avoided; plus
(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 Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided, plus
(iv) any other reasonable Cost necessary to compensate Landlord for
all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
would be likely to result therefrom including, without limitation,
brokerage commissions, the cost of repairing and reletting the Leased
Premises and reasonable attorneys' fees; plus
(v) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable
state law. Damages shall be due and payable from the date of termination.
(d) For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this Paragraph, the "worth at
the time of award" shall be computed by adding interest at the Default Rate to
the past due Rent. For the purposes of clause (iii) of this Paragraph 23(d), the
"worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the
award, plus one percent (1%).
(e) Landlord shall be entitled to apply the Security Deposit to any
amounts due under Paragraph 23(c) if this Lease shall be terminated, or, if this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect, to any amounts due under Paragraph
23(b) or in the following order (i) to past due Basic Rent, (ii) to cure any
other monetary Event of Default and (iii) to installments of Basic Rent in
inverse order of maturity commencing with the last installment of the Term.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in lieu of
or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may
exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in
equity. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the
-47-
50
exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder or
at law or in equity.
(g) Landlord shall not he required to mitigate any of its damages hereunder
unless required to by applicable Law. If any Law shall validly limit the amount
of any damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount
agreed to herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount available
under such Law.
(h) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of the Leased
Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this
Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving obligations.
(i) WITH RESPECT TO ANY REMEDY OR PROCEEDING OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER, TENANT
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. Tenant agrees that this Lease constitutes a
written consent to waiver of trial by jury pursuant to the provisions of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 631 and Tenant does hereby appoint
Landlord its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with
an interest, and Tenant does hereby authorize and empower Landlord, in the name,
place and stead of Tenant, to file this Lease with the clerk or judge of any
court of competent jurisdiction as statutory written consent to waiver of trial
by jury.
(j) During the existence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the
right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder and,
if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises,
Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose.
(k) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict
performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option,
right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver,
modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum in
satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by
Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless
expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.
(l) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming
under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it
or any of them may have under any present or future Law to redeem any of the
Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of this
Lease or of Tenant's right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court
order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future
Law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.
-48-
51
(m) Except as otherwise provided heroin, all remedies are cumulative and
concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be
exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may
be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted by any exercise
thereof.
24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offers,
statements and other instruments or communications required or permitted to be
given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given for all purposes when delivered in person or by
Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery service or five (5) business
days after being deposited in the United States mail, by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at
its address stated above. A copy of any notice given by Tenant to Landlord shall
simultaneously be given by Tenant to Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx & XxXxxx, 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxx

the purposes of this Paragraph, any party may substitute another address stated
above (or substituted by a previous notice) for its address by giving fifteen
(15) days, notice of the new address to the other party, in the manner provided
above.
25. Estoppel Certificate. At any time upon not less than ten (10) days'
prior written request by either Landlord, Tenant or Lender (the "Requesting
Party") to Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, (the "Responding Party"), the
Responding Party shall deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing,
executed by an authorized officer of the Responding Party, certifying (a) that,
except as otherwise specified, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect, (b) the dates to which Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other
Monetary Obligations have been paid, (c) that, to the knowledge of the signer of
such certificate and except as otherwise specified, no default by either
Landlord or Tenant exists hereunder, (d) such other matters as the Requesting
Party may reasonably request, and (e) if Tenant is the Responding Party that,
except as otherwise specified, there are no proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the signer, threatened, against Tenant before or by any court or
administrative agency which, if adversely decided, would materially and
adversely affect the financial condition and operations of Tenant. Any such
statements by the Responding Party may be relied upon by the Requesting Party,
any Person whom the Requesting Party notifies the Responding Party in its
request for the Certificate is an intended recipient or beneficiary of the
Certificate, any Lender or their assignees and by any prospective purchase or
mortgagee of any of the Leased Premises. Any certificate required under this
Paragraph 25 and delivered by Tenant shall state that, in the opinion of each
person signing the same, he has made such examination or investigation as is
necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to the subject matter
of such
-49-
52
certificate, and shall briefly state the nature of such examination or
investigation.
26. Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall peaceably leave and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in
the same condition in which the Leased Premises was at the commencement of this
Lease, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered, replaced or added to as
permitted or required by any provision of this Lease, and except for ordinary
wear and tear. Upon such surrender, Tenant shall (a) remove from the Leased
Premises all property which is owned by Tenant or third parties other than
Landlord and (b) repair any damage caused by such removal. Property not so
removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause
such property to be removed from the Leased Premises. The cost of removing and
disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Leased
Premises caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse
Tenant for any such property which becomes the property of Landlord pursuant to
this Paragraph 26.
27. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate
created by this Lease with the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises by
reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold or own, directly or
indirectly, (a) the leasehold estate created hereby or any part thereof or
interest therein and (b) the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises or any
part thereof or interest therein, unless and until all Persons having any
interest in the interests described in (a) and (b) above which are sought to be
merged shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly
record the same.
28. Books and Records.

accountants and attorneys, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to visit and
inspect the Leased Premises and examine (and make copies of) the records and
books of account and to discuss the finances and business with the officers of

request of Lender (either telephonically or in writing), Tenant shall provide to
Lender (with a copy to Landlord) such other information as Lender shall
reasonably request.
(b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and to Lender within ninety (90) days
of the close of each fiscal year, annual audited financial statements of Tenant

29. Determination of Value.
(a) Whenever a determination of Fair market Value or Fair Market Rental
Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market
Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the
following procedure:
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair
Market Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the "Applicable
Initial Date") on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its
intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the Leased Premises
pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of its
intention to redetermine Fair Market Value pursuant to Paragraph 20(c),
(C) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Landlord's intention to
require Tenant to make an offer to terminate this Lease pursuant to
-52-
55
Paragraph 23(a)(iii), (D) Tenant provides Landlord with an Intended
Transaction Offer under Paragraph 21(a)(iii), (E) the date on which
Landlord accepts Tenant's offer pursuant to Paragraph 33(c), (F) the date
on which Landlord accepts the Third Party Purchaser's offer pursuant to
the third paragraph of Paragraph 35(a) and (G) the date on which Landlord
accepts Tenant's offer pursuant to Paragraph 38(c). Landlord and Tenant
shall endeavor to agree on Fair Market Rental Value on the date (also, an
"Applicable Initial Date") which is six (6) calendar months prior to the
expiration of the then current Term unless Tenant has previously exercised
its option pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) not to have the Term automatically
extended. Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an
agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair
Market Rental Value, as the case may be.
(ii) If the parties shall not have signed such agreement within
thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date, Tenant shall within
fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date select an appraiser and
notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such
appraiser. within twenty (20) days thereafter, Landlord shall select an
appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of
such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair
Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, as the case may be, based on an
appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date. If such two
appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental
Value, as the case may be, the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair
Market Rental Value, as the case may be, as so agreed shall be binding and
conclusive.
(iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair
Market Value or Fair Market Rental value, as the case may be, within
twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then
such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, as the
case may be, and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination
of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, as the case may be,
which determination as to the selection of the third appraiser shall be
binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) if such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the
designation of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration
of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if
-53-
56
such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value or
Fair Market Rental Value, as the case may be, within twenty (20) days after
his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser,
as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto (with notice to
the other party), be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American
Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California. The determination of
Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, an the case may be, made by
the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty
(20) days after such appointment.
(v) Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, as the case may
be, shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair
Market Rental Value, as the case may be, made by the third appraiser and
the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, as the
case may be, made by the appraiser (pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(iii)
hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental
Value, as the case may be, is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such
average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph
29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right,
power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C)
utilize the definition of Fair Market Value set forth in Paragraph 2 or the
definition of Fair Market Rental Value as set forth below, and (D) be
registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such
registration. The Cost of the procedure described in this Paragraph 29(a)
above shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant, except that the Cost
with respect to the appraisals performed under Paragraphs 21, 23, 33 or 38
shall be paid by Tenant and the Cost with respect to the appraisals
performed under Paragraph 35 shall be paid by the Third Party Purchaser.
(b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value is not determined by the
expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the
Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended to the date specified
for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the
determination of Fair Market Value is being made. If, by virtue of any delay,
Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of
the then current Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant
shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same
amount which it was obligated under this Lease
-54-
57
to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. When Fair Market Rental
Value is determined, the appropriate Basic Rent shall be calculated retroactive
to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund
from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to
Landlord (in the case of an underpayment).
(c) Fair Market Value shall be determined as follows: The appraisers shall
add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, (with assumed
increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate
(which may be determined by an investment banker) based on the creditworthiness
of Tenant and (ii) the present value of the Fair Market Value of the Leased
Premises as of the end of the then current Term (without necessarily making any
assumption as to whether the Tenant will or will not exercise any remaining
options), using a yield rate required by investors for property having similar
characteristics, without consideration given to Tenant's credit rating or
creditworthiness. In determining the value under (ii), the appraisers shall,
insofar as possible, consider properties having similar characteristics and in
reasonable proximity to the Leased Premises, but the appraisers shall not be
precluded from considering properties that do not have "clean" rooms, properties
that are (or are not) located in Hayward, California or properties having a
different use than the Leased Premises. The appraisers shall further assume that
no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will
comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that Tenant has not violated (and
will not violate) any of the Covenants.
(d) In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall determine
the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a building
having similar characteristics and in reasonable proximity to the Leased
Premises would accept, at arm's length, taking into account: (a) the age,
quality, and condition of the Improvements; (b) that the Leased Premises will be
leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (c) a lease term
of five (5) years; (d) an absolute triple net lease; and (e) such other items
that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider. In determining
Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall, insofar as possible, consider
properties having similar characteristics and in reasonable proximity to the
Leased Premises, but the appraisers shall not be precluded from considering
properties that do not have "clean" rooms, properties that are (or are not)
located in Hayward, or properties having a different use than the Leased
Premises.
30. Non-Recourse as to Landlord. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord
under this Lease shall be enforced only against the Leased Premises and not
against any other assets, properties or funds of (a) Landlord, (b) any
-55-
58
director, officer, general partner, shareholder, limited partner, advisor,
employee or agent of Landlord or any general partner of Landlord or any of its
general partners (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign
of any thereof), (c) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or
other entity) of Landlord or any of its general partners, shareholders,
officers, directors, advisors, employees or agents, either directly or through
Landlord or its general partners, shareholders, officers, directors, advisors,
employees or agents or any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation
(or other entity), or (d) any other Person (including W.P. Xxxxx Incorporated)
affiliated with any of the foregoing, or any director, officer, advisor,
employee or agent of any thereof).
31. Financing.
(a) If Landlord desires to obtain or refinance any Loan, Tenant shall
negotiate in good faith with Landlord concerning any request made by any Lender
or proposed Lender for changes or modifications in this Lease. In particular,
Tenant shall agree, upon request of Landlord, to supply any such Lender with
such notices and information as Tenant is required to give to Landlord hereunder
and to extend the rights of Landlord hereunder to any such Lender and to consent
to such financing if such consent is requested by such Lender. Tenant shall
provide any other consent or statement and shall execute any and all other
documents that such Lender requires in connection with such financing, including
any environmental indemnity agreement and subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement, so long as the same do not materially adversely affect any
right, benefit or privilege of Tenant under this Lease or materially increase
Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
(b) Tenant shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses associated
with any of the transactions contemplated by this Paragraph 31. Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in
carrying out its obligations under this Paragraph 31 other than as provided in
the foregoing sentence.
32. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant's interest hereunder shall be
subordinate to any Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon
the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances made or to be made
thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and
extensions thereof, provided that any such Mortgage or other security instrument
(or a separate instrument in recordable form duly executed by the holder of any
such Mortgage or other security instrument and delivered to Tenant) shall
provide for the recognition of this Lease and all Tenant's rights hereunder
unless and until an Event of Default exists or Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease pursuant to any applicable provision hereof all as set
forth in a
-56-
59
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
33. Financial Covenants; Covenant Breach Offer.
(a) Until the expiration of the Initial Term, Tenant hereby covenants and
agrees to comply with all the covenants and agreements (the "Covenants")
described in Paragraphs 1 through 3 in Exhibit "E" hereto.
(b) If (i) Tenant intends to take any action or, with respect to Paragraph
1(b) of Exhibit "E", has knowledge that such action is intended to be taken by
another Person, or such action occurs (such action, an "Intended Transaction")
that would result in a breach of any Covenant set forth in Paragraphs 1 or 2 of
Exhibit "E" attached hereto or (ii) Tenant becomes aware that the Covenant set
forth in Paragraph 3 of Exhibit "E" will be or has been breached (a "Covenant
Breach"), then, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Intended
Transaction, in the case of (i) above, or immediately upon becoming aware that a
Covenant Breach will occur or has occurred, in the case of (ii) above, Tenant
shall submit to Landlord and Lender a description thereof specifying the
Intended Transaction or the Covenant Breach, as the case may be, together with a
rejectable offer of Tenant to purchase the Leased Premises (as required by, and
in accordance with, the provisions of this Paragraph 33) and, if such offer is
accepted by Landlord, Tenant shall purchase the Leased Premises within the time
prescribed for such purchase (as provided in this Paragraph 33) and otherwise in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 20 of this Lease.
(c) Tenant shall make an offer to purchase the Leased Premises no later
than the date (the "Intended Transaction Closing Date") on which the Intended
Transaction will occur (or, in the case of a Covenant Breach, no later than the
earlier of ninety (90) days from the date Tenant becomes aware that a Covenant
Breach has occurred or will occur) for a purchase price equal to the Offer
Amount.
(d) If Landlord shall reject such offer by notice to Tenant, such notice to
contain the written consent of Lender to such rejection, not later than the
thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of such offer by Landlord, then the Lease
shall remain in full force and effect and the Intended Transaction or Covenant
Breach, as the case may be, shall be deemed waived or acceptable by Landlord and
Lender, respectively, and the waiver or acceptance shall remain in effect for
the balance of the Term with respect to the specific Intended Transaction or
specific set of facts giving rise to the Covenant Breach only. No rejection of
an offer under this Paragraph 33 shall be effective for any purpose unless
consented to in writing by Lender.
-57-
60
(e) Unless Landlord shall have rejected such offer by the foregoing notice
to Tenant not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of Tenant's
offer by Landlord, Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted such
offer. If such offer is accepted by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
Offer Amount on the Intended Transaction Closing Date (except that if the Fair
Market Value of the Leased Premise shall not yet have been determined, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Deposit Amount on the Intended
Transaction Closing Date and any excess of the Fair Market Value of the Leased
Premises over such sum shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days
of the determination of such Fair Market Value) and, provided that no Rent or
any other charge is due and unpaid under the Lease as of the Intended
Transaction Closing Date, and Tenant is otherwise in compliance with the terms
of this Lease, Landlord shall convey to Tenant the Leased Premises in accordance
with the provision of Paragraph 20 of the Lease.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and only with respect to offers made
solely in anticipation of an Intended Transaction or a Covenant Breach which
Tenant anticipates will occur, if Tenant determines that the Intended
Transaction or Covenant Breach will not occur, Tenant shall have the right to
revoke its offer to purchase the Leased Premises by notice to Landlord received
not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated Intended Transaction
Closing Date (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE), provided that Tenant shall be
obligated to pay all Costs of Landlord and Lender reasonably incurred as a
result of the offer made by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 33. Nothing
provided herein shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of the obligation of
Tenant to comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 33 if a subsequent
Covenant Breach or subsequent Intended Transaction will occur or occurs.
34. Tax Treatment; Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each
shall treat this transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall
report this transaction as a Lease for Federal income tax purposes. For Federal
income tax purposes each shall treat this Lease as a true lease with Landlord as
the owner of the Leased Premises and Equipment and Tenant as the lessee of such
Leased Premises and Equipment including: (1) treating Landlord as the owner of
the property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Section 167 or 168

-58-
61
35. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in clause (e) of this Paragraph 35, and
provided an Event of Default does not then exist, prior to selling the Leased
Premises to any Third Party Purchaser, if Landlord shall enter into a contract
for the sale of the Leased Premises with a Third Party Purchaser, (i) such
contract shall be conditioned upon Tenant's failure to exercise its right under
this Paragraph 35(a) and (ii) Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of
the contract for sale, together with a copy of the executed offer or contract
and the name and business address of the Third Party Purchaser.
(b) For a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice,
Tenant shall have the right and option, exercisable by written notice to
Landlord given within said thirty (30) day period, to elect to purchase the
Leased Premises at the purchase price and upon all the terms and conditions set
forth in such contract for sale except that no contingencies contained in such
contract for sale as to environmental assessments, engineering studies,
inspection of the Leased Premises, sale of other property, state of the title to
or encumbrances on the Leased Premises which pertains to any exception of title
created by, or suffered to exist by, Tenant, or any other condition or
contingency to the Third Party Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Leased
Premises which pertains to the condition of the Leased Premises, shall apply to
Tenant's obligation to purchase the Leased Premises under this Paragraph 35, and
Tenant shall be obligated to purchase the Leased Premises without any such
condition or contingency.
(c) If at the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period Tenant
shall have failed to exercise the aforesaid option, Landlord may sell the Leased
Premises to such Third Party Purchaser upon the terms set forth in such
contract. For the purposes of this Paragraph 35(a), the purchase price in any
contract to purchase the Leased Premises which is received by Landlord between
the first day of the last six (6) calendar months of the ninth (9th) Lease Year
or the first six (6) calendar months of the tenth (10th) Lease Year shall be
deemed to be "acceptable to Landlord" if such offer (i) is for an amount equal
to or greater than the greater of (A) Fair Market Value (which shall be
determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in Paragraph 29 of this
Lease, except that references to Tenant in Paragraphs 29(a) and (b) hereof shall
mean Third Party Purchaser) or (B) the sum of (1) the Acquisition Cost reduced
by the principal payments made on the Note to the date of purchase and (2) the
Prepayment Premium, (ii) provides that the purchaser pays all costs in
connection with such purchase, (iii) provides that such purchase price is
payable in cash at the closing of the sale of the Leased Premises and (iv) the
closing date for such purchase will occur within sixty (60) days prior to the
last day of the tenth (10th) Lease Year.
-59-
62
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided in the foregoing Paragraph
35(a), the closing date for any purchase of the Leased Premises by Tenant
pursuant to this Paragraph 35 shall be on a date designated by Tenant, but not
later than (i) ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant's notice to Landlord
of its intention to purchase the Leased Premises upon the terms of the contract
for sale with a Third Party Purchaser or (ii) the closing date provided in such
contract for sale. At such closing Landlord shall convey the Leased Premises to
Tenant in accordance with, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the purchase price
and other consideration set forth in, the applicable offer or contract.
(e) Tenant shall have the right during the Term to exercise the foregoing
right of first refusal upon each proposed sale of the Leased Premises prior to
the last day of the tenth (10th) Lease Year; provided, that if, following
compliance with the procedure described in Paragraph 35(a), a Third Party
Purchaser does not purchase the Leased Premises, such event shall not count as
an exercise of Tenant's right of first refusal. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, if Tenant fails to exercise the right of first refusal by the last day
of the tenth (10th) Lease Year, and the sale to a Third Party Purchaser is
consummated or if this Lease terminates or the Term expires, such right shall
terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect.
(f) If Tenant does not exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the
Leased Premises and the Leased Premises are transferred to a Third Party
Purchaser, Tenant will attorn to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long
as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such
transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents
confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord
may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the
liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.
(g) The provisions of Paragraph 35(a) shall not apply to or prohibit (i)
any mortgaging, subjection to deed of trust or other hypothecation of Landlord's
interest in the Leased Premises, (ii) any sale of the Leased Premises pursuant
to a private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of any Mortgage or
other security instrument or device to which Landlord's interest in the Leased
Premises is now or hereafter subject, (iii) any transfer of Landlord's interest
in the Leased Premises to a Lender, beneficiary under deed of trust or other
holder of a security interest therein by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) any
transfer of the Leased Premises to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency
with power of condemnation, (v) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any
affiliate of Landlord or to any entity for whom W.P. Xxxxx & Co., Inc., W.P.
Xxxxx Incorporated or any of their affiliates provides material management or
investment advice, (vi) any
-60-
63
Person to whom Landlord sells all or substantially all of its assets, (vii) any
transfer of the Leased Premises to any of the successors or assigns of any of
the Persons referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) or (viii) any
transfer, sale or conveyance of any part or all of the stock of Landlord to one
of its affiliates.
36. Financing Major Alterations.
(a) Should Tenant, during the Term of this Lease, desire to make
Alterations to any of the Leased Premises which are not readily removable
without causing material damage to the Leased Premises which cannot be repaired
and which will cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
("Major Alterations"), Tenant may, prior to the commencement of construction of
such Major Alterations, request Landlord (with a copy of such request to Lender)
to reimburse the costs thereof to Landlord (the "Alteration Cost") to Tenant, to
wit: cost of labor and materials, financing fees, legal fees, survey, title
insurance and other normal and customary loan or construction costs.
(b) Should Landlord agree to reimburse such costs, Landlord and Tenant
shall enter into good faith negotiations regarding the execution and delivery of
a written agreement of modification of this Lease, which agreement shall provide
for the following:
(i) payment by Landlord to Tenant of the Alteration Cost within one
hundred twenty (120) days of the date of Landlord's agreement to pay the
Alteration Cost, or in installment payments as agreed, or on the date of
completion of the Major Alterations, whichever shall be the later;
(ii) an increase in the annual Basic Rent payable during the
Amortization Period (as hereinafter defined) to an amount sufficient to
amortize the Alteration Cost ("Total Financing") over a period (the
"Amortization Period") which shall be the remainder of the then current
Term and, if Tenant so elects, any additional extension periods provided
for herein (so long as Tenant shall confirm any such extension periods
included in the Amortization Period by a written waiver of its right to
give notice of its intention not to renew this Lease prior to the
expiration of such extension periods), at such rate of interest and upon
such other terms as shall be agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, but
which shall be no less favorable than the prevailing interest rate and
terms for unsecured loans in a principal amount equal to the Total
Financings for borrowers with credit ratings equivalent to the lesser of
Landlord's or Tenant's credit rating at that time; and
-61-
64
(iii) such other changes and amendments to this Lease as may be
necessary and appropriate in view of such payment of the Alteration Cost
by Landlord to Tenant.
(c) Tenant shall pay all Costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any
such modification to this Lease and such financing, including closing costs,
brokerage fees, taxes, recording charges and legal fees and expenses.
(d) If Landlord and Tenant do not reach agreement on Tenant's request to
have Landlord finance the Alteration Costs, Tenant shall, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 13 of this Lease, have the right to construct the Major
Alterations at Tenant's sole cost and expense. In any event, the construction
of the Major Alterations shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 13 hereof and the Major Alterations shall be the property of Landlord
and part of the Leased Premises subject to this Lease.
(e) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 36 shall be construed to modify
Paragraph 13 hereof, and the provisions of Paragraph 12 and subparagraphs (i)
and (ii) of Paragraph 13(a) shall apply to all Major Alterations made or
constructed hereunder, including the requirement for Landlord's consent to
Alterations.
37. Security Deposit.
(a) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a security deposit (the "Security
Deposit") in the amount of Three Hundred Forty-two Thousand Five Hundred
Eighty-one and 25/100 ($342,581.25). If not sooner applied as provided in
Paragraph 23(d), the Security Deposit shall be applied (i) to monthly payments
of the Basic Rent in reverse order, commencing with the last month of the
Initial Term, commencing with the last payment due or (ii) if Tenant purchases
the Leased Premises, against Tenant's obligation to pay the Default Termination
Amount, Offer Amount or Termination Amount, as the case may be. The Security
Deposit shall be security for the payment by Tenant of the Rent and all other
charges or payments to be paid hereunder and the performance of the covenants
and obligations contained herein. Landlord shall have the right to commingle the
Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. Anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Security Deposit shall be credited against Rent or
other obligations of Tenant hereunder.
(b) Landlord shall have the right to assign to Lender or any other holder
of a Mortgage the Security Deposit during the term of the applicable Loan, and
the Lender or such other holder of a Mortgage shall have all of the rights of,
and shall be subject to the terms of, this Paragraph 37. Tenant covenants and
agrees to execute such agreements, consents and
-62-
65
acknowledgments as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and Lender from time
to time to acknowledge the assignment of the Security Deposit.
38. Right to Vacate; Rejectable Offer Upon Vacation.

that (i) Tenant shall notify Landlord and Lender within ten (10) days after
vacation of the Leased Premises by Tenant, (ii) Tenant shall make reasonable

which shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 21(b) hereof and (iii)
Tenant shall continue to perform all of its obligations under this Lease,
including its obligation to maintain the Leased Premises and to pay all Rent as
and when due hereunder.
(b) If, at any time during the Term, the Leased Premises shall be vacant
for twelve (12) consecutive months, Tenant shall, on the first day of the
thirteenth (13th) month that Leased Premises are vacant, make an offer (the
"Vacation Offer") to purchase the Leased Premises on the first Basic Rent
Payment Date occurring thirty (30) days after the determination of Fair Market
Value (the "Vacation Purchase") for a purchase price equal to the Offer Amount.
Promptly upon the delivery to Landlord of the Vacation Offer, Landlord and
Tenant shall commence to determine the Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises.
(c) No rejection of the Vacation Offer shall be effective for any purpose
unless consented to in writing by Lender. If Landlord shall reject the Vacation
Offer by notice to Tenant, containing the written consent of Lender to such
rejection, no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of the
Vacation Offer by Landlord, then this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have waived the Event of
Default described in Paragraph 22(a)(x) with respect to a vacation of the Leased
Premises.
(d) Unless Landlord shall have rejected the Vacation Offer by the foregoing
notice to Tenant not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of

BASIC RENT PAYMENTS
1. Basic Rent. Subject to the adjustments provided for in Paragraphs 2, 3,
4 and 5 below, Basic Rent payable in respect of the portion of the Initial Term
remaining after January 31, 1997 shall be $1,604,880 per annum, payable monthly
in arrears commencing on March 1, 1997 and on each Basic Rent Payment Date
thereafter, in equal installments of $133,740.00 each.
2. CPI Adjustments to Basic Rent. The Basic Rent shall be subject to
adjustment, in the manner hereinafter set forth, for increases in the index
known as United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer
Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All Items,
(1982-84=100) ("CPI") or the successor index that most closely approximates the
CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor or comparable successor
index, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or
formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then the matter shall be determined
by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then prevailing in New York City. Any decision or award resulting
from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant and
judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In no
event will the Basic Rent as adjusted by the CPI adjustment be less than the
Basic Rent in effect for the three (3) year period immediately preceding such
adjustment. No CPI adjustments shall be made during any Renewal Term.
3. Effective Dates of CPI Adjustments. (a) Basic Rent shall be adjusted on
March 1, 1998 (the "First Basic Rent Adjustment Date") to reflect changes in the
CPI. On the First Basic Rent Adjustment Date $1,030,452 of Basic Rent shall be
adjusted to reflect increases in the CPI during the three year period preceding
March 1, 1998 and $574,428 of Basic Rent shall be adjusted to reflect increases
in the CP1 for the one year period preceding March 1, 1998.
(b) Basic Rent shall also be adjusted on March 1, 2001, March 1, 2004,
March 1, 2007 and March 1, 2010 to reflect increases in the CPI during the most
recent three (3) year period immediately preceding each of the foregoing dates
in this subparagraph 3(b) (the First Basic Rent Adjustment Date and each date
referred to in this subparagraph 3(b) being hereinafter referred to as the
"Basic Rent Adjustment Date").
-1-
74
4. Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.
(a) As of each Basic Rent Adjustment Date when the average CPI determined
in clause (i) below exceeds the Beginning CPI (as defined in this Paragraph
4(a)), the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Basic Rent
Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the difference between (i) the average CPI for the three (3) most recent
calendar months (the "Prior Months") ending prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment
Date for which the CPI has been published on or before the forty-fifth (45th)
day preceding such Basic Rent Adjustment Date and (ii) the Beginning CPI, and
the denominator of which shall be the Beginning CPI. An amount equal to the
lesser of (A) the product of such multiplication or (B) $145,960 with respect to
the first Basic Rent Adjustment Date and the product of the Basic Rent in effect
immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date multiplied by 12% with
respect to each succeeding Basic Rent Adjustment Date, shall be added to the
Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date. As
used herein, "Beginning CPI" shall mean the average CPI for the three (3)
calendar months corresponding to the Prior Months, but occurring three (3) years
earlier with respect to each adjustment of Basic Rent, except that with respect
to the $574,428 of Basic Rent to be adjusted on the First Basic Rent Adjustment
Date, "Beginning CPI" shall mean the average CPI for the three (3) calendar
months corresponding to the Prior Months but occurring one (1) year earlier. If
the average CPI determined in clause (i) is the same or less than the Beginning
CPI, the Basic Rent will remain the same for the ensuing three (3) year period.
(b) Effective as of a given Basic Rent Adjustment Date occurring during the
Initial Term, Basic Rent payable under this Lease until the next succeeding
Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Basic Rent in effect after the
adjustment provided for as of such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
(c) Notice of the new annual Basic Rent shall be delivered to Tenant on or
before the tenth (10th) day preceding each Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
5. Basic Rent During Each Renewal Term. During each Renewal Term, annual
Basic Rent for the Renewal Term shall be Fair Market Rental Value as of the
first day of such Renewal Term, as determined in accordance with Paragraph 29 of
the Lease. Basic Rent during each Renewal Term shall be payable monthly in
arrears in installments equal to 1/12 of the annual Basic Rent for such Renewal
Term. If the Fair Market Rental value of the Leased Premises has not been
determined as of the first day of any Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay as monthly
installments of Basic Rent an amount equal to the Basic Rent in effect
immediately prior to such Renewal Date, and shall receive a credit or make an
additional payment, as applicable, on the
-2-
75
first Basic Rent Payment Date following the determination of Fair Market Rental
Value.
