4.3 Rent Increase.
4.3.1 At the times set forth in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic Lease
Provisions, the monthly Base Rent payable under paragraph 4.1 of this Lease

Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor for AN Urban Consumers, (1

calculated as follows: the Base Rent payable for the first month of the term of
this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 4.1 of this Lease, shall be multiplied by
a fraction the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the calendar month
during which the adjustment is to take effect, and the denominator of which
shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in which the original Lease term
commences. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new monthly Base Rent
hereunder, but, in no event, shall such new monthly Base Rent be less than the
Base Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the date for the rent
adjustment.
4.3.3 In the event the compilation and/or publication of the C.P.I. shall
be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or
c 1984 American Industrial Real Estate Association Initials:/s/ DSB
---------
FULL SERVICE-GROSS /s/ BA
PAGE 2 OF 10 ---------
agency or shall be discontinued, then the Index most nearly the same as the
C.P.I. shall be used to make such calculations. In the event that Lessor and
Xxxxxx cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be
submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in the County in
which the Premises are located, in accordance with the then rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the
parties, notwithstanding one party failing to appear afte due notice of the
proceeding. The cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and
Lessee.
4.3.4 Lessee shall continue to pay the rent at the rate previously in
effect until the increase, if any, is determined. Within five (5) days following
the date on which the increase is determined, Lessee shall make such payment to
Lessor as will bring the increased rental current, commencing with the effective
date of such increase through the date of any rental installments then due.
Thereafter the rental shall be paid, at the increased rate.
4.3.5 At such time as the amount of any change in rental required by this
Lease is known or determined, Lessor and Lessee shall execute an amendment to
this Lease setting forth such change.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the
security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as
security for Xxxxxx's faithful performance of Xxxxxx's obligations hereunder. If
Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults
with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all
or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in
default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by
reason of Xxxxxx's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which
Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor
deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the
full amount then required of Lessee. If the monthly Base Rent shall, from time
to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, a the time of
such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times
bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial security
deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit
separate from Its general accounts. If Xxxxxx performs all of Xxxxxx's
obligations hereunder, said deposit or so much thereof as has not heretofore
been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or. at Xxxxxx's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Xxxxxx's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Xxxxxx has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx with respect to said Security Deposit.

alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part
thereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in
effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's
expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the
Premises in good order, condition and repair.
7.2 Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to keep the Premises in good
condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of the cost
thereof to Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of any
maintenance and repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that
serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to
causes beyond normal wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of
painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings and to repair or replace any
Premises improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are
above then Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable
notice, elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs
the cost of which is otherwise Xxxxxx's responsibility hereunder.
(b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination,
Xxxxxx shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition as received,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Any damage or
deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the
same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Xxxxxx. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of Xxxxxx's trade fixtures, alterations, furnishings and equipment.
Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines,
power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, window coverings, wall coverings, carpets, wall panelling,
ceilings and plumbing on the Premises and in good operating condition.
7.3 Alterations and Additions.

alterations, improvements, additions, Utility Installations or repairs in, on or
about the Premises, or the Office Building Project. As used in this paragraph
7.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window and wall
coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, plumbing and telephone and telecommunication wiring and equipment.
At the expiration of the term, Lessor may require the removal of any or all of
said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations, and the
restoration of the Premises and the Office Building Project to their prior
condition, at Lessee's expense. Should Lessor permit Lessee to make its own
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations, Lessee shall use
only such contractor as has been expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor may
require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost
of such improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and
materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior
approval of Lessor, or use a contractor not expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor
may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any
part or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations in
or about the Premises or the Office Building Project that Lessee shall desire to
make shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with proposed detailed plans.
If Lessor shall give its consent to Xxxxxx's making such alteration,
improvement, addition or Utility Installation, the consent shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the applicable
governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the
commencement of the work, and compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said
permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for Use in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, or any interest therein.
(d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to
the commencement of any work in the Premises by Xxxxxx, and Lessor shall have
the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the
Building as provided by law. If Xxxxxx shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy

thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish
to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such
contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises, the Building and the Office Building Project free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessors reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such action
if Lessor shall decide it is to Xxxxxx's best interest so to do.

(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee),
which may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but not limited to, floor
coverings, panelling, doors, drapes., built-ins, moldings, sound attenuation,
and lighting and telephone or communication systems, conduit, wiring and
outlets, shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner and of good and
sufficient quality and materials and shall be the property of Xxxxxx and remain
upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Lease term,
unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a). Provided
Lessee is not in default, notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
7.3(e), Lessee's personal property and equipment, other than that which is
affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to
the Premises or the Building, and other than Utility Installations, shall remain
the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of
paragraph 7.2.
(f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and specifications
for any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations.
7.4 Utility Additions. Lessor reserves the right to install new or additional
utility facilities throughout the Office Building Project for the benefit of
Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Office Building Project, including,

or any part of Xxxxxx's interest in the Lease or in the Premises, without
Xxxxxx's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold.
Lessor shall respond to Xxxxxx's request for consent hereunder in a timely
manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease, without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1. "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include
the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation, more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or (b) if

is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and (b) Lessor shall
be given written notice of such assignment and assumption. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this
Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Regardless of Xxxxxx's consent, no assignment or subletting shall
release Xxxxxx of Xxxxxx's obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability
of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including Xxxxxx's
Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder.
(b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee pending
approval or disapproval of such assignment.
(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment or
subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or
conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.
(d) If Xxxxxx's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by
third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Xxxxxx's consent thereto,
shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease and the terms thereof.
(e) The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Xxxxxx or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However,
Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or
any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or said
sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any such
amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the Lessee or
sublessee under this Lease or such sublease.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the
performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) Xxxxxx's written consent to any assignment or subletting of the
Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then
exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall
such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.
(h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by
Xxxxxx in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false
shall, at Lessor's election, render Xxxxxx's said consent null and void.
12.4 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. Regardless of
Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any
subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed
included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated
therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or
hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply
same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until
a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, Lessee may receive. collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a
sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such
sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in
the performance of Xxxxxx's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents due and to become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such
sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless and
until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any sublease,
Lessee shall use only such form of sublessee as -is satisfactory to Lessor, and
once approved by Lessor such sublease shall not be changed or modified without
Lessoes prior written consent. Any sublease shall, by reason of entering into a
sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed
and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein to be
performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has
expressly consented in writing.
(c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any obligation to
do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under
such sublease.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) With respect to any subletting to which Xxxxxx has consented, Xxxxxx
agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Xxxxxx to the sublessee.
Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within three (3)
days after service of said notice of default upon such sublessee, and the
sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee
for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.
12.5 Lessoes Expenses. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, Including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other
consultants' fees.
12.6 Conditions to Consent. Lessor reserves the right to condition any
approval to assign or sublet upon Lessoes determination that (a) the proposed
assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality
substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character
of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of
any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the proposed
assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as Lessee was
expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment
or subletting, whichever is greater.

constitute a material default of this Lease by Xxxxxx:

payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such

for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deeme to be in default if Lessee
commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty
(30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be
given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.

assignment for the benefit of creditors; (if) Lessee becoming a "debtor" as

(30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Xxxxxx's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)

any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor
by Xxxxxx, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Xxxxxx's
obligation hereunder, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this Lease
by Xxxxxx, Lessor may at any time thereafter. with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default:

means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Xxxxxx
shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event
Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor
by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of retailing, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Xxxxxx proves could be reasonably avoided;

applicable to Ilia unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain I on-inn's right to possession in which case this [.ease
shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned

perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event

holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name
and address shall have therefore been furnished to Lessee In writing, specifying
wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if
the nature of Lessor's obligation Is such that more than thirty (30) days are
required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences
performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same
to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of Base Rent, Xxxxxx's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other sums
due hereunder will cause Lessor to Incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
Include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, end late
charges which may be Imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly. if any installment of
Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due. then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Xxxxxx.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Xxxxxx's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this

authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Xxxxxx's business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall
have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Xxxxxx does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Xxxxxx's
Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the proportion that the
floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises.

no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof.
Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as
of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written
notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or
the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment
made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as a compensation for diminution in value of
the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage to Xxxxxx's trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost
of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding any options. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received
by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Xxxxxx has been
reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in
excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.
