10.1 Subordination of Lease.

Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease or underlying lease, or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust. If Tenant fails to execute such instruments within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor, Landlord is hereby appointed Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments for and on behalf of Tenant, provided the same does not materially alter the terms of this Lease.

10.2 Attornment. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination of any ground lease, underlying lease or lien to this Lease, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord at the option of such successor in interest.

10.3 The foregoing notwithstanding, subordination of this Lease to any mortgage and attornment by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.2 is conditioned on the holder of such mortgage executing a nondisturbance agreement in favor of Tenant.

11. Inability to Perform; No Delay to Constitute Eviction. If, for any reason, Landlord or Tenant is unable to perform or make or is delayed in fulfilling any of its obligations under this Lease, and such failure arises from or through acts of God, strikes, lockouts, labor difficulties, explosions, sabotage, accidents, riots, civil commotions, acts of war or warlike conditions in this country, fire and casualty, legal requirements, energy shortage or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, no such inability or delay shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or by reason of injury to or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise.

12. Destruction

12.1 Damages Caused By Tenant. Subject to the provisions of section 8.1 all injury to the demised premises and other portions of the building of which it is a part, caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees and visitors, will be repaired by Landlord at the expense of Tenant except as provided in Section 8.2, or repaired by Tenant with Landlord’s approval in accordance with Section 8. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such repairs within ten (10) days of receipt of invoice from Landlord of the costs. At its election, Landlord may regard the same as additional rent, in which event the cost shall become additional rent payable with the installment of rent next becoming due after notice is received by Tenant from Landlord. This provision shall be construed as an additional remedy granted to Landlord and not limitation of any other rights and remedies, which Landlord has or may have in said circumstances.

Fire or Casualty Damage. In the event of damage or destruction of the demised premises by fire or any other casualty without the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees and visitors, this Lease shall not be terminated, but structural damage to the premises including demising partition and doors shall be promptly and fully repaired and restored as the case may be by Landlord at its own cost and expense.

In the event of fire or casualty damage to the demised premises caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or visitors. Landlord shall restore structural damages as described herein at Tenant’s cost and expense. It is agreed that in any of the aforesaid events, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

12.2 Termination of Lease in the Event of Total Destruction. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof, if, prior to or during the Term (a) the Premises shall be totally damaged or rendered wholly untenantable by fire or other casualty, and if Landlord shall determine, in its sole discretion, not to restore the Premises, or (b) the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that, in Landlord’s opinion, substantial alteration, demolition or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged or rendered untenantable), then, in any of such events, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may give to Tenant within Ninety (90) days after such fire or other casualty, a thirty (30) days’ notice of termination of this Lease and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the Term shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of such thirty (30) days were the Term Expiration Date; and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of such date and any prepaid portion of Basic Rent or Additional Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant-notice to Tenant as of the date of actual loss. Unless Tenant is able to conduct business in the Premises, such notice shall effect the termination of this Lease and the Basic Rent and any Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of such date and any prepaid portion of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

Landlord shall obtain and maintain, throughout the Term, in Landlord’s casualty insurance policies, provisions to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to loss, any or all right, of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the Building. In the event that at any time Landlord’s casualty insurance carriers shall exact an additional premium for the inclusion of such or similar provisions, Landlord shall give tenant notice thereof. In such event, if Tenant agrees, in writing, to reimburse Landlord for such additional premium for the remainder of the Term, Landlord shall require the inclusion of such or similar provisions by Landlord’s casualty insurance carriers. As long as such or similar provisions are included in Landlord’s fire insurance policies then in force, Landlord hereby waives any right of recovery against Tenant, any other permitted occupant of the Premises, and any of their servants, employees, agents or contractors, for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty that is an insured risk under such policies. In the event that at any time Landlord’s casualty insurance carriers shall not include such or similar provisions in Landlord’s fire insurance policies, the waivers set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed of no further force or effect.

12.4 Tenant not Relieved from Liability. Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 12.3 hereof, nothing contained in this Lease shall relieve Tenant of any liability to Landlord or to its insurance carriers which Tenant may have under law or under the provisions of this Lease in connection with any damage to the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty.

12.5 No Abatement of Rent if Damage Caused by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 12 hereof, if any such damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, any person claiming through or under Tenant, or any of their servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, then there shall be no abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent by reason of such damages, unless Landlord is reimbursed for such abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent pursuant to any rental insurance policies that Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to carry.

13. Eminent Domain

If all of the Premises is condemned or taken in any manner for public or quasi-public use, including but not limited to a conveyance or assignment in lieu of a condemnation or taking, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of dispossession of Tenant as a result of such condemnation or other taking. If a part of the Premises is so condemned or taken, this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion so long as Tenant is able to conduct business within the remaining portion of the Premises, of the Premises so taken as of the date of dispossession of Tenant as a result of such condemnation or taking. If such portion of the Building is condemned or otherwise taken so as to require, in the opinion of Landlord, a substantial alteration or reconstruction of the remaining portions thereof, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord, as of the date of dispossession of Tenant as a result of such condemnation or taking, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following notice to Landlord as of the date on which said dispossession will occur.

Tenant shall be entitled to moving expenses.

13.3 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a partial condemnation or other taking that does not result in a termination of this Lease as to the entire Premises, the Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken by such condemnation or other taking.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporate reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall not be considered an assignment or subletting within the meaning of this Section 14.1. Tenant agrees that any permitted assignment or subletting hereunder may be conditioned upon payment of consideration to be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.

(b) Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2(a) or Section 17, Landlord may (i) proceed to re-enter the Premises and recover possession thereof; (ii) as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, remove therefrom all persons and Tenant’s Property, store such Tenant’s Property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost, and for the account, of Tenant, sell such Tenant’s Property and apply the proceeds thereof to payment of Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease, and hold the balance of such proceeds, if any, in trust for Tenant; (iii) restore the Premises to good order and repair or otherwise prepare the Premises for reletting by making such reasonable alterations, repairs or replacements in the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate; and (iv) relet the Premises for such rent, for such term (which may be longer or shorter than the Term originally reserved hereunder) and upon such other terms and conditions as are not unreasonable under the circumstances. Tenant shall be liable for all damages sustained by Landlord in connection with such termination of this Lease, including without limitation the excess of the aggregate amounts of Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved under this Lease for the Term originally reserved hereunder over net amounts actually realized in reletting the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions and the costs and expenses of recovering possession of the Premises and restoring the Premises to first class condition for reletting.

Any such damages may, at Landlord’s election, be recovered in one or more actions upon termination of the Term, at the time of any initial reletting or from time to time as such damages may become more easily ascertainable by successive relettings. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any failure to relet the Premises or for any failure to collect any amounts due on account of relettings and in no event shall Tenant have any right to any excess of amounts received by Landlord on account of relettings over amounts which Tenant may be liable hereunder.

(c) Landlord may elect not to terminate this Lease but to recover the Basic Rent and Additional Rent accruing hereunder in one or more actions as the same become due or, in advance, the present value of Basic rent and Additional Rent to become due hereunder, discounted by a factor of eight percent (8%) per annum; or, as for Tenant, Landlord may from time to time sublet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. Upon each such subletting (i) Tenant shall be immediately liable for payment to Landlord of, in addition to Basic Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder, the cost of such subletting and such alterations and repairs incurred by landlord and the amount, if any, by which the Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the Term) exceeds the amount to be paid as Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the Premises for such period, or (ii) at the option of Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied, first, to payment of any indebtedness other than Basic Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such subletting and of such alterations and repairs; third, to payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Basic Rent and Additional Rent as the same become due hereunder.

If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such subletting under clause (i) and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting under clause (ii) during any month are less than those to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No subletting of the Premises by Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such termination is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach; and

(d) Landlord may have a receiver appointed for Tenant, upon application by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof.

(e) Tenant hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Landlord under this Lease, any and every right it may have to (i) injunctive relief, (ii) a trial by jury, (iii) interpose any counterclaim therein and (iv) have the same consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding. Nothing herein contained shall prevent or prohibit Tenant from instituting or maintaining a separate action against Landlord with respect to any asserted claim.

17. Insolvency or Bankruptcy. Upon the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other debtor relief act or statute, whether now existing or hereafter amended or enacted, this Lease shall automatically terminate without notice or other action by Landlord or Tenant; provided further, that Landlord shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after Landlord has actual knowledge of the events effecting such termination, to revoke such termination and reinstate this Lease retroactively to the date of such termination. Upon, and at any time after, such termination, Landlord shall have the right to exercise the remedies reserved under Section 16.2(b). In no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor relief proceedings.

18. Fees and Expenses; Indemnity; Liability Insurance

18.1 Performance by Landlord.

18.2 Indemnification by Tenant.

19. Access to Premises

19.1 Landlord’s Right to Enter. Landlord reserves and shall have the right with prior notice, excepting emergencies, to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect same, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises, adjacent premises and any other portion of the Building or any systems serving any of the same, without abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and may for that purpose erect, use and maintain scaffolding, pipes, conduits and other necessary structures in and through the Premises where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed; provided that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby. Landlord shall use best efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant, and where reasonable, shall perform work “after hours.” Landlord and its agents shall also have unrestricted access to the Premises at any time in the event of an emergency, without abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, or special security areas (designated as such by Tenant in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means that Landlord may deem necessary or proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to any portion of the Premises, and any entry to the Premises or portions thereof obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall also have the right at any time, without same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and other public parts of the Building. Landlord will not show prospective tenants the Premises earlier than six (6) months prior to the lease termination date.

20. Waiver; Release

No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, no acceptance of full or partial Basic rent or Additional Rent during the continuance of any such breach, and no acceptance of the keys to or possession of the Premises prior to the termination of the Term by any employee of Landlord shall constitute a waiver of

 

- 10 -

any such breach or of such term, covenant or condition or operate as a surrender of this Lease. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord or a lesser amount than the aggregate of all Basic Rent and Additional Rent then due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the first items of such Basic Rent and Additional Rent then accruing or becoming due, unless Landlord elects otherwise; and no endorsement or statement on any check and no letter accompanying any check or other payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent in any such lesser amount and no acceptance of any such check or other such payment by Landlord shall constitute an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Basic Rent or Additional Rent or to pursue any other legal remedy.

20.2 Modifications in Writing. Neither this Lease nor any term or provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, and no breach thereof shall be waived, altered or modified, except by a written instrument signed by the party against which the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

Landlord shall have the right to control and operate the public portions of the Building, and the facilities furnished for the common use of the tenants, in such manner as Landlord deems best for the benefit of the tenants generally. No tenant shall permit the visit to the Leased Premises of persons in such numbers or under such conditions as to interfere with the use and enjoyment by other tenants of the entrances, passages, courts, elevators, vestibules, stairways, corridors, halls and other public portions or facilities of the Building.

2. No awnings or other projections shall be attached to the outside walls of the Building without the prior written consent of the Landlord.
