prepayment for any monies to be paid by lessee under this Lease.

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

copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit,
business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given to, or received from,
any governmental authority or private party concerning the presence, spill,
release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance including, but
not limited to, all such documents as may be involved in any Reportable Use
involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance
to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the Premises (including,

onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone under Lessee's control. Lessee's
obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall include, but not be limited to,
the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the
environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation
(including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee
shall release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to
Hazardous Substance, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the
time of such agreement.

and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply with all

participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest
to do so.

expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor
and remain upon the Premises and be surrendered with the Premises by Lessee.
(b) Removal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may require that any or
all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding that their
installation may have been consented to by Lessor. Lessor may require the
removal at any time of all or any part of any Alterations or Utility
Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.
(c) Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the end of the
last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, clean and free of
debris and in good operation order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear
and tear excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not include any damage or
deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by
Lessee performing all of its obligations under this Lease. Except as otherwise
agreed or specified herein, the Premises, as surrendered, shall include the
Alterations and Utility Installations. The obligation of Lessee shall include
the repair of any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal
of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, furnishing, equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations, as well as the removal of any storage tank installed
by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement or remediation of any soil,
material or ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as may then be required by
Applicable Requirements and/or good practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures shall
remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee subject to its
obligation to repair and restore the Premises per this Lease.

8.2 Liability Insurance.
(a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force during the term of
this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance protecting Lessee,
Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been provided to Lessee in writing (as
additional insureds) against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and
property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the ownership, use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such
insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an "Additional
Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" endorsement and contain the "Amendment
of the Pollution Exclusion" endorsement for damage caused by heat, smoke or
fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured
exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall include
coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "insured contract" for the
performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of
said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not,
however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation
hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall
be considered excess insurance only.
(b) Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall also maintain liability insurance described
in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, in addition to and not in lieu of, the insurance
required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional
insured therein.
8.3 Property Insurance - Building, improvements and rental value.
(a) Building and Improvements. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable
to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss or damage to the Premises.
Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as the same shall exist from
time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s), but in no event more than
the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof if, by reason
of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter amount is
less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by
Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and commercially
appropriate, Lessor's policy or policies shall insure against all risks of
direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake
unless required by a Lender or included in the Base Premium), including coverage
for any additional costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of
coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the
reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the Building required
to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of any building,
zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered loss, but not
including plate glass insurance. Said policy or policies shall also contain an
agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, waiver of
subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual
property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted
U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the
city nearest to where the Premises are located.
(b) Rental Value. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force during the term of
this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to
Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental and other charges
payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for one year (including all
Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area Operating Expenses and any
scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may provide that in the event the
Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for
such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs or
replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss of rental
revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, and the amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income. Real
Property Taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise
payable, for the next 12-month period. Common Area Operating Expenses shall
include any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
(c) Adjacent Premises. Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the
property insurance of the Building and for the Common Areas or other buildings
in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts, omissions,
use or occupancy of the Premises.
(d) Lessee's Improvements. Since Lessor is the insuring Party, Lessor shall not
be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless
the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of this
Lease.
8.4 Lessee's Property Insurance. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph 8.5,
Lessee at its cost shall maintain insurance coverage on all of Lessee's personal
property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to that carried by Lessor as
the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a). Such insurance shall be full
replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to exceed $1,000 per occurrence.
The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement
of personal property and the restoration of Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request from Lessor, Lessee shall
provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
8.5 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies duly
licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are located, and
maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least
B+, <184>, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender, as set forth in
the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee's insurance policies
shall name Lessor as additional insured. Lessee shall not do or permit to be
done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in this
Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor, within seven (7) days
after the earlier of the Early Possession Date or the Commencement Date,
certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of,
the insurance required under Paragraphs 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such policy shall be
cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
"insurance binders' evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable
by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies,
Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waiver their
entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against the
other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to the
perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.
8.7 Indemnity. Except for Lessor's negligence and/or breach of express
warranties, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the
Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and
Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages,
costs, liens, judgments, penalties, loss of permits, attorneys' and consultants'
fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection
with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of Lessee's business,
any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees or
invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee in the performance in a
timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under this
Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or
pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved therein, and whether
or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to
judgment. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason
of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee, upon notice from Lessor, shall defend
the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and
Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first
paid any such claim in order to be so indemnified.

8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for injury or
damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or
about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by results from
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, of from any other cause,
whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises
or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a part, from
other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or
injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not. Lessor shall not
be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee of
Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other
lease in the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of
this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's
business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. Refer to Paragraph 58.
9. Damage or Destruction.
9.1 Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises,
other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, the repair cost
of which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) of the then Replacement
Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to
such damage or destruction.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the
then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. In addition, damage or destruction to the Building, other than
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures of any
lessees of the Building, the cost of which damage or destruction is fifty
percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the
Building) of the Building shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed to be
Premises Total Destruction.
(c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises, other than
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utilities Installations and Trade Fixtures, which
was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in
Paragraph 8.3(a) irrespective of any deductible amounts or coverage limits
involved.
(d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the improvements
owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition existing
immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and upgrading
required by the operation of applicable building codes, ordinances or laws, and
without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the occurrence or discovery of a
condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous
Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises.
9.2 Premises Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If Premises Partial Damage that is
an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such
damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect. In the event, however, that there is a shortage of
insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that, by reason of the
unique nature of the improvements in the Premises, full replacement cost
insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall
have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully
restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with
the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days
following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If
Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10)
day period, Lessor shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If Lessor does not receive such
funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written
notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to make such restoration and
repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in
proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within such ten (10) day period,
and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then this Lease shall
terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the damage or destruction.
Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have any right to
reimbursement from Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such
damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall
be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds
of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either
Party.
9.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. If Premises Partial Damage that is not an
Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in
which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may, at Lessor's option, either
(i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give
written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to terminate this
Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the
event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this
Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of
such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for
the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without reimbursement
from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds or satisfactory
assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment from Lessee.
In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor
shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the
required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide
the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified above, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if Premises
Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any authorized
public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the date
of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage or destruction is
an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee. In the
event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by Lessee, Lessor
shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee except as released
and waived in Paragraph 9.7.
9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If any time during the last six (6) months of the
term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one
month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may, at Lessor's
option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of
occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this
Lease by (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage
in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs
on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10) days after Lessee's
receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii)
the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to
exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period,
then this Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the first sentence
of this Paragraph 9.5.
9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.
(a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous Substance
Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent, Common
Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder
for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair, remediation or
restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which
Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from
insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of
Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as
aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by
Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by
reason
MULTI-TENANT GROSS Initials: /s/ X.X.
Page 7 of 15 /s/ R.H.D.
8
of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the
provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and
meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90)
days after such obligation shall accrue. Lessee may, at any time prior to the
commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to
any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate
this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such
notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair
or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If
Lessor or a Lender commences the repairs or restoration of the Premises within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean
either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans,
or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
9.7 Hazardous Substance Conditions. If a Hazardous Substance Condition occurs,
unless lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee shall make
the investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable Requirements
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's
rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may at Lessor's option
either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if
required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated
cost to investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the
then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater, give written notice to
Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the
occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to terminate
this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In
the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate
this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt
of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay
for the excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such Hazardous
Substance Condition to the extent required by Applicable Requirements, over (b)
an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds required of
Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following said
commitment by Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such investigation and remediation as
soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee
does not give such notice and prove the required funds or assurance thereof
within the time period specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
9.8 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to
this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment made by
Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not been, or is
not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this Lease.
9.9 Waiver of Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and the
Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the
provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is inconsistent
herewith.
10. Real Property Taxes.
10.1 Payment of Taxes. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as defined in
Paragraph 10.2(a), applicable to the industrial Center.
10.2 Real Property Tax Definitions.
(a) As used herein, the term "Real Property Taxes" shall include any form of
real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and
any license fee, commercial rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax
(other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the
Industrial Center by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax,
including any city, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural,
sanitary, fire, street, drainage, or other improvement district thereof, levied
against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or
any portion thereof, Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and/or
Lessor's business of leasing the Premises. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall
also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein,
imposed by reason of events occurring, or changes in Applicable Law taking
effect, during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to a change in
the ownership of the Industrial Center or in the improvements thereon, the
execution of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and
whether or not contemplated by the Parties.
10.5 Lessee's Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes
assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center. When
possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
If any of Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.
11. Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, including, but not limited to, electricity, telephone, water/sewer,
gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such
utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or separately
billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable proportion to be
determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or billed with other
premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time periods set forth in
Paragraph 4.2(d). Refer to Paragraph 59 and Exhibit C.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
12.1 Lessor's Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively, "assign") or sublet
all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without
Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the terms of Paragraph
36.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment requiring
Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change in
control of this purpose.
MULTI-TENANT GROSS Initials: /s/ X.X.

(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of
transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, refinancing,
transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or
hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will
result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as hereinafter defined, by an
amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth of
Lessee as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions
constituting such reduction, at whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or
is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which
Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent. "Net Worth of Lessee" for purposes
of this Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding any Guarantors)
established under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
(d) An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in this Lease without
Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option, be a Default
curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1, or a non-curable Breach without the
necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such
unconsented to assignment or subletting as a non-curable Breach, Lessor shall
have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30)
days' written notice ("Lessor's Notice"), increase the monthly Base Rent for the
Premises to the greater of the then fair market rental value of the Premises, as
reasonably determined by Lessor, or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base
Rent then in effect. Pending determination of the new fair market rental value,
if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in Lessor's Notice,
with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s) of Base Rent
coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to the effective
date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the determination
thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (ii) any
index-oriented rental or price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall
be adjusted to require that the base index be determined with reference to the
index applicable to the time of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental
adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased
in the same ratio as the new rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately
prior the adjustment specified in Lessor's Notice.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be
limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting shall not (i)
be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or
sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of
any obligations hereunder, nor (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for
the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder or for the
performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from any
person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment.
Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the
acceptance of any rent for performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by Lessee of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to any
subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the assignee or 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 under this Lease or the sublease and without obtaining their
consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under
this Lease or the sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligation under this
Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else
responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under this Lease,
including any sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any
other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any security held by
Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing,
accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the
financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed
assignee or sublessee, including, but not limited to, the intended use and/or
required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable
deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the monthly Base Rent applicable to
the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed assignment or
sublease, whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's
considering and processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide
Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be
reasonably requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of
accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each
and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than
such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.
(g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.2(c) shall give
Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the Security Deposit
be increased by an amount equal to six (6) times the then monthly Base Rent, and
Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the Security Deposit increase a
condition to Lessor's consent to such transaction.
(h) Lessor, as a condition to giving its consent to any assignment or
subletting, may require that the amount and adjustment schedule of the rent
payable under this Lease be adjusted to what is then the market value and/or
adjustment schedule for property similar to the Premises as then constituted, as
determined by Lessor.
12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. 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 the Lessee's interest
in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a portion of the
Premises 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 Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) shall
occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee may,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents
accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing
provision or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, not 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 Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under
the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against such sublessee, or, until the Breach has
been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and other charges so paid by said
sublessee to Lessor.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee 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 the sublessor under such sublease from the time of the
exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however,
Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by
such sublessee to such sublessor or for any other prior defaults or breaches of
such sublessor under such sublease.
(c) Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease
shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.
MULTI-TENANT GROSS Initials: /s/ X.X.
Page 9 of 15 /s/ R.H.D.
10
(d) No sublease under a sublease applied by Lessor shall further assign or
sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to
the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee within the
grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall have a right
of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such Defaults cured
by the sublessee.
13. Default; Breach; Remedies.
13.1 Default; Breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that it an attorney is consulted
by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as hereinafter
defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence for legal
services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of Default, and
that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said notice as
rent due and payable to cure said default. A "Default" by Lessee is defined as a
failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A "Breach"
by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following
Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure after notice is specified herein,
the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of the
applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:
(a) The vacating of the Premises without the intention to reoccupy same, or the
abandonment of the Premises.
(b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by Lessee
to make any payment of Base Rent, Lessee's Operating Expenses, or any other
monetary payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder as and when due, the
failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of insurance or
surety bond required under this Lease, or the failure of Lessee to fulfill any
obligation under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where
such failure continues for a period of three (3) days following written notice
thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by Lessee
to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly executed original
form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable Requirements per
Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the
rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv)
a Tenancy Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or
non-subordination of this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the
performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease if required under
Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii) the execution of any document requested under
Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which
Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any
such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice by
or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of
this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof that are to be
observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those described in
Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on behalf of
Lessor to Lessee provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is
such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if Lessee
commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making by Lessee of
any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii)
Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code Section 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of Lessee, given to
Lessor by Lessee, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or obligation of
Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee (or
in case of emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option (but without
obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf,
including, but not limited to, the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon Invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in paragraph 13.1), with or without further notice or demand,
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means,
in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time of the award
of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would
have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any
other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately
caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom,
including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the
Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration
of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees and that portion of any leasing
commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the
unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District in which the Premises
are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to
mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this Lease shall not
waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph 13.2. If
termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful
detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding the unpaid
rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to
recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit for such rent and/or damages.
If a notice and grace period required under Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was
not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as
the case may be, given to Lessee under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of
leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for
grace period purposes required by Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such
case, the applicable grace period under the unlawful detainer statute shall run
concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to
cure the Default within the greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall
constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor
to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect (in California
under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach and recover
the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the right to sublet or assign,
subject only to reasonable limitations. Lessor and Lessee agree that the
limitations on assignment and subletting in this Lease are reasonable. Acts of
maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment
of a
MULTI-TENANT GROSS Initials: /s/ X.X.
Page 10 of 15 /s/ R.H.D.
11
receiver to protect the Lessor's interest under this Lease shall not constitute
a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws
or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of
Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any
indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during
the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due form Lessee shall not
be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, them, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue
amount. The 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
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.
13.5 Breach by Lessor. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless
Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be
performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a reasonable time
shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor, and by
any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to Lessee in
writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation
of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such notice
are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach
of this Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of
the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base
Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the
Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee or Lessor's relocation
expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's share of the legal and
other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.
15. Brokers' Fees
15.1 Procuring Cause. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are the procuring
cause of this Lease.
16. Tenancy and Financial Statements.
16.1 Tenancy Statement. Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall within ten (10)
days after written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting Party") execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in a form
similar to the then most current "Tenancy Statement" form published by the
American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information,
confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting
Party.
16.2 Financial Statement. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the
Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee shall deliver to any
potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of
Lessee and may be reasonably required by such
MULTI-TENANT GROSS Initials: /s/ X.X.
Page 11 of 15 /s/ R.H.D.
12
lender or purchaser, including, but not limited to Lessor's financial statements
for the past three (3) years. All financial statements shall be received by
Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the
purposes herein set forth.
17. Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean the owner or
owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the event of
a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or
covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to
the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by
the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.
18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder,
other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10) days following
the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date due at the prime
rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which the
Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the
maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential late charge provided
for in Paragraph 13.4.
20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
21. Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.
22. No Prior or other Agreements. This Lease contains all agreements between the
Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or
contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee
each represents and warrants that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its
own investigation as to the nature, quality, character and financial
responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the nature, quality
and character of the Premises.
23. Notices.
23.1 Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall
be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or courier
service) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal
Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission during
normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a
manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's
signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for delivery or mailing of
notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to the other specify a
different address for notice purposes, except that upon Lessee's taking
possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for
the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to Lessee. A copy of all notices
required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently
transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time
to time hereafter designate by written notice to Lessee.
23.2 Date of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the
receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by
regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the
same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid. Notices
delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantees
next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of
the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any notice is
transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed
served or delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation of receipt of the
transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If
notice is received on a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal holiday, it shall be
deemed received on the next business day.
24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant
or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term,
covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee
of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's consent
to, or approval of, any such act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act
by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision
or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. Regardless of Lessor's
knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting rent, the acceptance
of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee of
any provision hereof. Any payment given Lessor by Lessee may be accepted by
Lessor on account of monies or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any
qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the
time of deposit of such payment.
25. No Right to Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to two hundred percent
(200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such
expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
26. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
27. Covenants and Conditions. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
28. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the Parties,
their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the
laws of the state in which the Premises are located. Any litigation between the
Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which
the Premises are located.
29. Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.
30.1 Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject
and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default pursuant
to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3,
Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires ownership of
the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the
event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (1) be liable for any
MULTI-TENANT GROSS Initials: /s/ X.X.
Page 12 of 15 /s/ R.H.D.
13
act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to a [illegible] occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be [illegible] to any offsets or
defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent. Refer to Paragraph 60.
30.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor
after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease shall be
subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from the Lender
that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to extend the
term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and
attorns to the record owner of the Premises.
30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be
effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.
31. Attorneys' Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as
hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same
suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding
is pursued to decision or judgment. The term "Prevailing Party" shall include,
without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the
relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment,
or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim of defense. The
attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee
schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably
incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses
incurred in preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in
connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in
connection with such Default or resulting Breach. Broker(s) shall be intended
third party beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.
32. Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Lessor
may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the
Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time
during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the terms hereof place on or
about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor
shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.
33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the Premises of
the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent,
install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise
Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location designated by
Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage criteria
established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of any sign on
the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7
(Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alterations).
Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use
of the roof of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the Building, including
the roof, which do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee's
business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such advertising signs.
35. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination of cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder
of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such
event constitute the termination of such interest.
36. Consents.
(a) Except for paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise provided herein,
wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to an act by or for
the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to,
architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees) incurred in the
consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent
pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including, but not limited to,
consents to an assignment a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous
Substance, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an invoice and
supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit described in
Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may, as a condition to considering any such request by
Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of money (in addition
to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably calculated by Lessor
to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering and responding to
Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said deposit shall be refunded to Lessee
without interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of this Lease or
subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that
no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent.
(b) All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are acknowledged
by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any particular
condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the impositions by Lessor at
the time of consent of such further or other condition as are then reasonable
with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given.
37. Guarantor.
38. Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and
the performance of all the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet

provisions of this Lease.

ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION
October 1997
From: Licensing, Safety and Nuclear Compliance (LSNC)
TO: Employees and Occupants, Via Intercompany Memo
General Atomics, in compliance with California Health and Safety Code 25915 et
seq, is required to give written notice of the presence of asbestos containing
materials to all employees. This notification applies to General Atomics
facilities at 3550 General Atomics Court, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, and 00000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx.
Prior to 1979, asbestos was used extensively in the building industry throughout
the United States as thermal insulation, fireproofing, and in structural support
materials. At General Atomics asbestos has been used to insulate hot water and
steam pipes and ventilation ducts. It may be found in some attics and mechanical
rooms, in floor and ceiling tiles and window wall panels, some roofing material,
and core material in certain fire doors.
The mere presence of asbestos in a building does not necessarily mean that a
health hazard exists. Asbestos containing materials are not a health threat
unless asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled. In areas where the
asbestos is bonded or encapsulated and properly maintained, such as in the
materials listed above, there is very little or no risk to health.
Accordingly, it is important not to disturb asbestos containing materials.
General Atomics policy restricts work on asbestos containing materials to
certified asbestos contractors who are properly trained and equipped. Moving,
drilling, cutting, or otherwise disturbing such materials can pose a health risk
and should not be attempted by untrained personnel. Employees should immediately
notify (Licensing, Safety and Nuclear Compliance) if they observe materials that
they suspect contain asbestos and which are not properly maintained.
LSNC maintains records of asbestos sampling and air monitoring results performed
during the course of asbestos abatement work. Employees may contact LSNC, Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx at extension 2016, Xxxx Xxxxxxx at extension 2466, or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx at
extension 2823, if they have questions or concerns regarding asbestos.
