show the subordination of this lease to said mortgages,
deeds of trust or other such instruments in the nature of a

the Rent credit (as defined in Section 35) provided for in
this Lease constitute the primary consideration for LESSEE's

this Lease. It shall, therefore, be a condition of LESSEE's
obligations under this Lease that the LESSOR use best

satisfactory to Lessee from LESSOR's current mortgage lender
within forty-five (45) days after the execution of this
Lease. Such non-disturbance agreement must fully accept the
terms of this Lease and must not contain any carve-outs
which would negate the Rent Credit provision. In the event
that, despite using such efforts, the LESSOR is unable to
obtain a non-disturbance agreement in such forty-five day
period, then, upon request from the LESSOR prior to the
expiration of such time period, LESSEE will not unreasonably
withhold its consent to an extension period of an additional
forty-five (45) days. If LESSOR fails to deliver such non-
disturbance agreement prior to the end of such period of
time, as the same may be extended, then, at LESSEE's option,
either (a) LESSEE may continue to xxxxx XXXXXX additional
extensions of time or (b) LESSOR shall, upon demand by
LESSEE at the expiration of any extension period granted
hereunder, pay to LESSEE, a cash sum in the amount of the

such actions do not materially interfere with LESSEE'S use
of the Premises.
16. INDEMNIFI- LESSEE shall save LESSOR harmless, and shall exonerate and
CATION AND indemnify LESSOR, from and against any and all claims,
LIABILITY liabilities or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any
person, firm, corporation or public authority:
(i) on account of or based upon any injury to person, or
loss of or damage to property sustained or occurring
or emanating from the Premises on account of or based
upon the act, omission, fault, negligence or
misconduct of any person except LESSOR, its Agents or
their employees;
(ii) on account of or based upon any injury to person, or
loss or damage to property, sustained on or occurring
elsewhere (other than on the Premises) in or about the
Property (and, in particular, without limitation, the
elevators, stairways, public corridors, sidewalks,
parking areas, concourses, arcades, approaches,
areaways, roof, or other appurtenances and facilities
used in connection with the Property or the Premises)
arising out of the use or occupancy of the Property or
Premises by the LESSEE or by any person claiming by,
through or under LESSEE, except where such injury,
loss or
7
damage was caused by the negligence, fault or
misconduct of LESSOR, its Agents or their employees;
and in addition to and not in limitation of either of
the foregoing subdivisions (i) and (ii);
(iii) on account of or based upon (including moneys due on
account of) any work or thing whatsoever done (other

employees or either) on the Leased Premises; and, in

costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees),
and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any
such claim, or any action or proceeding brought
thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be
brought against LESSOR by reason of any such claim.
LESSEE upon notice from LESSOR shall at LESSEE'S
expense resist or defend such action or proceeding and
employ counsel therefore reasonably satisfactory to
LESSOR, it being agreed that such counsel as may act
for insurance underwriters of LESSEE engaged in such
defense shall be deemed satisfactory.

LIABILITY Property of which the Premises are a part commercial general
INSURANCE liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 with property
damage insurance in limits of $1,000,000 and Workers

within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such
policies. All such insurance certificates shall provide that
such policies shall not be canceled without at least ten (10)
days prior written notice to each assured named therin.

CASUALITY, property of which they are a part, be substantially damaged by
EMINENT fire or other casualty, or be taken by eminent domain, the
DOMAIN LESSOR may elect to terminate this lease. When such fire,
casualty, or taking renders the Premises substantially
unsuitable for their intended use, a just and proportionate

terminate this lease if:

days of the event of its intention to restore Premises, or
(b) The LESSOR fails to restore the Premises to a condition
substantially suitable for their intended use within
ninety (90) days of said fire, casualty or taking, as such
date may be extended ninety (90) days if LESSOR is
diligently working to restore the Premises and extended an
additional ninety (90) days for force majeure. LESSOR
reserves, and the LESSEE grants the LESSOR, all rights
which the LESSEE may have for damages or injury to the
Premises for any taking by eminent domain, except for
damage to the LESSEE'S fixtures, property, or equipment.

thirty-day period, LESSEE fails to commence to

thereafter, while such default continues, to re-
enter and take complete possession of the
Premises, to terminate this lease, and remove the
LESSEE'S effects without prejudice to any remedies
which might be otherwise used for arrears of rent
or other default.
The LESSEE shall indemnify the LESSOR against all
loss of rent and additional rent and other
payments which the LESSOR may incur by reason of
such termination during the residue of the term.
If the LESSEE shall default, after reasonable
notice thereof; in the observance or performance
of any conditions or covenants on LESSEE'S part to
be observed or performed under or by virtue of any
of the provisions in any article of this lease,
the LESSOR, without being under any obligation to
do so and without thereby waiving such default,
may remedy such default for the account and at the
expense of the LESSEE. If the LESSOR makes any
expenditures or incurs any obligations for the
payment of money in connection therewith,
including but not limited to, reasonable
attorney's fees in instituting, prosecuting or
defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid
or obligations incurred, with interest at the rate

election:
(i) Give LESSEE written notice of LESSOR'S intention
to terminate this Lease on the earliest date
permitted by law or on any later date specified in
such notice, in which case LESSEE'S right to
possession of the Premises will
9
cease and this Lease will be terminated,
except as to LESSEE's liability, as if the
expiration of the term fixed in such notice
were the end of the Term;
(ii) Without further demand or notice, and without
terminating this Lease, reenter and take
possession of the Premises or any part of the
Premises, repossess the same, expel LESSEE
and those claiming through or under LESSEE
and remove the effects of both or either,
using such force for such purposes as may be
necessary, without being liable for
prosecution, without being deemed guilty of
any matter of trespass, and without prejudice
to any remedies for arrears of Monthly Rent
or other amounts payable under this Lease or
as a result of any preceding breach of
covenants or conditions; or
(iii) Without further demand or notice to cure any
event of default and charge LESSEE for the
cost of effecting such cure, including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees
and interest on the amount of 18 percent per
annum, provided that LESSOR will have no
obligation to cure any such event of default
of LESSEE.
If LESSOR elects to reenter as provided in subsection (ii)
or if LESSOR takes possession pursuant to legal proceedings
or pursuant to any notice provided by law, LESSOR may, from
time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the
Premises or any part of the Premises in LESSOR'S or LESSEE'S
name, but for the account of LESSEE, for such term or terms
(which may be greater or less than the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on
such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include
concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the
Premises) as LESSOR, in its reasonable discretion, may
determine, and LESSOR may collect and receive the rents from
such reletting. LESSOR will in no way be responsible or
liable for any failure to relet the Premises, or any part of
the Premises, or for any failure to collect any rent due
upon such reletting. No such reentry or taking possession of
the Premises by LESSOR will be construed as an election on
LESSOR'S part to terminate this Lease unless a written
notice of such intention is given to LESSEE. No written
notice from LESSOR under this Section or under a forcible or
unlawful entry and detainer statue or similar law will
constitute an election by LESSOR to terminate this Lease
unless such notice specifically so states. LESSOR reserves
the right following any such reentry or reletting to
exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving LESSEE
such written notice, in which event this Lease will
terminate as specified in such notice.
20. NOTICE Any Notice from the LESSOR to the LESSEE relating to the
Premises or to the occupancy thereof, shall be in writing

Premises, (including, without hereby limiting the generality
of the foregoing, all signs and lettering affixed or painted

10
the Premises and all keys, locks thereto, and other fixtures
connected therewith and all alterations and additions made

shall never be personally liable for any such judgment or
for the payment of any monetary obligation to LESSEE. The
provisions contained in the foregoing sentence are not
intended to, and shall not, limit any right the LESSEE might
otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against LESSOR or
to take any action not involving the liability of LESSOR to
respond in monetary damages from LESSOR'S assets other than
from such property.
24. WAIVER Failure on the part of the LESSOR or LESSEE to complain of
any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter
how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by
LESSOR or LESSEE, respectively, of its rights hereunder.
Further, no waiver at any time of the provisions hereof, by
LESSOR or LESSEE shall be construed as a waiver of any of
the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any
of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver
at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent
or approval of LESSOR or LESSEE to, or of any action by the
other requiring such consent or approval, shall not be
construed to waive or render unnecessary LESSOR'S or
LESSEE'S consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar
act by the other.

THE PREMISES: prepared, at LESSEE'S sole cost and expense, certain
plans ("LESSOR'S Plans") for improvements to be made in
the Premises and adjacent areas of the Building to
prepare the Premises for LESSEE'S occupancy. Upon
completion of LESSOR'S Plans, LESSOR shall submit the
same to LESSEE for LESSEE'S approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. To the
extent that LESSEE does not disapprove LESSOR'S Plans
in writing, and provide specific remedies that will
make LESSOR'S Plans acceptable, within five (5)
Business Days after submission of the same by LESSOR,
LESSEE shall be conclusively deemed to have approved
LESSOR'S Plans. Promptly after approval of LESSOR'S
Plans, LESSOR shall exercise all reasonable efforts to

list" items), the building permit is signed off, the
Premises is legally available for occupancy and LESSEE
has been given notice thereof. LESSOR shall complete as
soon as conditions permit all "punch list" items (but
in no event later than thirty days after the
Substantial Completion Date) and LESSEE shall afford
LESSOR access to the Premises for such purposes.
If the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred by
August 1, 2000 (the "Outside Completion Date") as it
may be extended pursuant to section 26.D. LESSEE shall
have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice
to LESSOR not later than thirty (30) days after the
Outside Completion Date (as so extended), of Tenant's
desire so to do; and this Lease shall cease and come to
an end without further liability or obligation on the
part of either party thirty (30) days after the giving
of such notice, unless, within such 30-day period,
LESSOR substantially completes LESSOR'S Work; and such
right of termination shall be LESSEE'S sole and
exclusive remedy at law or in equity for LESSOR'S
failure so to complete such work.
C. CONCLUSIVENESS

PERFORMANCE Except to the extent to which LESSEE shall have given
LESSOR notice, not later than the end of the second
full calendar month of the Term of the Lease next
beginning after the Commencement Date, of any respects
in which LESSOR has not performed LESSOR'S Work and
except for latent defects not reasonably discoverable
by LESSEE within such time period, LESSOR shall be
deemed to have completed LESSOR'S Work as of the
Commencement Date of this Lease.
D. LESSEES'

LESSOR'S Work from its place in LESSOR'S construction
schedule resulting from any of the causes for delay
referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or this
paragraph and the fitting of such Work back into such
schedule; then LESSEE shall, from time to time and
within ten (10) business days after demand therefor,
pay to LESSOR for each day of such delay the amount of
Basic Rent, Escalation Charges and other charges that
would have been payable hereunder and the LESSEE'S
obligation to pay Basic Rent commenced immediately
prior to such delay.
2) If a delay in the Substantial Completion Date, or

occurred but for a delay described in paragraph above,
such delay shall be deemed added to the delay described
in that paragraph.
The delays referred to above are herein referred to
collectively and individually as "LESSEE'S Delay."
3) If, as a result of LESSEE'S Delay(s), the
Substantial Completion Date is delayed in the aggregate

restrict access to the Building during such time periods.
15. Each lessee will store all its trash and garbage within its Premises.
No material will be placed in the trash boxes or receptacles if such material is
of such nature that it may not be disposed of in the ordinary and customary
manner of removing and disposing of trash and garbage without being in violation
of any law or ordinance governing such disposal. All garbage and refuse disposal
will be made only through entryways and elevators provided for such purposes and
at such times as LESSOR designates. Removal of any furniture or furnishings,
large equipment, packing crates, packing materials, and boxes will be the
responsibility of each lessee and such items may not be disposed of in the
Buildings trash receptacles nor will they be removed by the Building's
janitorial service, except at LESSOR'S sole option and at the lessee's expense.
No furniture, appliances, equipment, or flammable products of any type may be
disposed of in the Building trash receptacles.
16. Canvassing, peddling, soliciting, and distributing handbills or any
other written materials in the Building are prohibited, and each lessee will
cooperate to prevent the same.
17. The requirements of the lessee's will be attended to only upon
application by written, personal, or telephone notice at the office of the
Building. Employees of LESSOR or LESSOR'S agent will not perform any work or do
anything outside of their regular duties unless under special instructions from
LESSOR.
18. A directory of the Building will be provided for the display of the
name and location of tenants only, all entries on the Building directory display
will conform to standards and style set by LESSOR in its sole discretion. Space
on any exterior signage will be provided in LESSOR'S sole discretion. No lessee
will have any right to the use of any exterior sign.
19. LESSEE will see that the doors of the Premises are closed and locked
and that all water faucets, water apparatus, and utilities are shut off before
LESSEE or LESSEE'S employees leave the Premises, so as to prevent waste or
damage, and for any failure to comply or carelessness in this regard LESSEE will
make good all injuries sustained by other tenants or occupants of the Building
or LESSOR. On multiple-tenancy floors, all lessee's will keep the doors to the
Building corridors closed at all times except for ingress or egress.
20. LESSEE will not conduct itself in any manner that is inconsistent with
the character of the building as a first quality building or that will impair
the comfort and convenience of other tenants in the Building.
21. No act or thing done or omitted to be done by LESSOR or LESSOR'S agent
during the term of the Lease in connection with the enforcement of these rules
and regulations will constitute an eviction by LESSOR of any lessee nor will it
be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by any lessee, and no
agreement to accept such termination or surrender will be valid unless in a
writing signed by LESSOR. The delivery of keys to any employee or agent of
LESSOR will not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the
Premises unless such delivery of keys is done in connection with a written
instrument executed by LESSOR approving the termination or surrender.
22. In these rules and regulations, the term "lessee" includes the
employees, agents, invitees, and licensees of LESSEE and others permitted by
LESSEE to use or occupy the Premises.
23. LESSOR may waive any one or more of these rules and regulations for
the benefit of any particular lessee or lessees, but no such waiver by LESSOR
will be construed as a waiver of such rules and regulations in favor of any
other lessee or lessees, nor prevent LESSOR from enforcing any such rules and
regulations against any or all of the lessees of the Building after such waiver.
24. These rules and regulations are in addition to, and will not be
construed to modify or amend, in whole or in part, the terms, covenants,
agreements, and conditions of the Lease.
