3. Term.
3.1 Term. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of
this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2 Early Possession. If an Early Possession Date is specified in
Paragraph 1.4 and if Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises after
the Early Possession Date but prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation
to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All
other terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the
obligations to pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to
carry the insurance required by Paragraph 8) shall be in effect during such
period. Any such early possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration
Date of the Original Term.
3.3 Delay in Possession. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is
specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by

nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations
of Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall
not, except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform
any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor
delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises
is not delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date,
Lessee may at its option by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days
after the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event
the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided
further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by
Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease
hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may
be otherwise provided, and regardless of when the Original Term actually
commences, if possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease
and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the
obligation to pay Base Rent, it any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed
shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a period
equal to the period during which the Lessee would have otherwise enjoyed under
the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts, changes or
omissions of Lessee.
4. Rent.
4.1 Base Rent. Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or charges, as
the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful money of the
United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on which it
is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all other rent and
charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full
month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the month

(vii) Any deductible portion of an insured loss concerning the
Building or the Common Areas.
(viii) Any other services to be provided by Lessor that are stated
elsewhere in this Lease to be a Common Area Operating Expense.
(b) Any Common Area Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes that
are specifically attributable to the Building or to any other building in the
Industrial Center or to the operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall
be allocated entirely to the Building or to such other building. However, any
Common Area Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes that are not
specifically attributable to the Building or to any other building or to the
operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall be equitably allocated by
Lessor to all buildings in the Industrial Center.
(c) The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and services set
forth in Subparagraph 4.2(a) shall not be deemed to impose an obligation upon
Lessor to either have said improvements or facilities or to provide those
services unless the Industrial Center already has the same, Lessor already
provides the services, or Lessor has agreed elsewhere in this Lease to provide
the same or some of them.
(d) Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses shall be payable
by Lessee within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual
expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's option, however, an
amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time of Lessee's Share of
annual Common Area Operating Expenses and the same shall be payable monthly or
quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each 12-month period of the Lease
term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. Lessor shall deliver
to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each calendar year a
reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of the actual Common Area
Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If Lessee's payments
under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding year exceed Lessee's Share
as indicated on said statement, Lessor shall be credited the amount of such
over-

(c) American Industrial Real Estate Association 1993
payment against Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses next becoming
due. If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding

shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days of the
delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said statement.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's execution
hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for
Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If
Lessee falls to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or
otherwise Defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor may
use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the
payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any
liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which
Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or
any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after
written request therefore deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore
said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. Any time the
Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written
request from Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor as an addition to
the Security Deposit so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at
all times be the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial
Security Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5.
Lessor shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit
separate from its general accounts. Lessor shall, at the expiration or earlier
termination of the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the Premises,
return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of
Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the Security Deposit not used or
applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lessor, no
part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear
interest or other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any monies to
be paid by Lessee under this Lease.
6. Use
6.1 Permitted Use.
(a) Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Permitted
Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other legal use which is reasonably
comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit
the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates waste or a
nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to the
Premises or neighboring premises or properties.
(b) Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or subtenants,
and by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its assignees and
subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long as the same will
not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or in
the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, does not
conflict with uses by other lessees, is not significantly more burdensome to
the Premises or the Building and the improvements thereon, and is otherwise
permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such
consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after such request give a
written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of
Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.
6.2 Hazardous Substances.
(a) Reportable Uses Require Consent. The term "Hazardous Substance"
as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material or
waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of existence, use,
manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect, either by
itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises,
is either (i) potentially injurious to the public health safety or welfare,
the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to
any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common
law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited to,
hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products or by-products
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or about the Premises
which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous
Substances without the express prior written consent of Lessor and compliance
in a timely manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense) with all Applicable
Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3). "Reportable Use" shall mean (i)
the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the
generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a
Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a
report, notice registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any
governmental authority, and (iii) the presence in, on or about the Premises of
a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Laws require that a
notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring
properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee 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 expiration
or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to
the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an
additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.
(b) Duty to Inform Lessor. It Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause
to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on under or
about the Premises or the Building, other than as previously consented to by
Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written notice thereof, together
with a 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, without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary
sewer system).
(c) Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnity, protect, defend and hold
Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the
Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities,
judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and
attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous
Substance brought 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 Substances unless specifically so
agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.
6.3 Lessee's Compliance with Requirements. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole
cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply with all
"Applicable Requirements," which term is used in this Lease to mean all laws,
rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements and
restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire
insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's
engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner to the Premises
(including but not limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene,
(ii) environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including
soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture,
production, installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage,
spill, or release of any Hazardous Substance), now in effect or which may
hereafter come into effect. Lessee shall, within five (5) days after receipt
of Lessor's written request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and
information, including but not limited to permits, registrations, manifests,
applications, reports and certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with
any Applicable Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon
receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of
any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report
pertaining to or involving failure by Lessee or the Premises to comply with
any Applicable Requirements.
6.4 Inspection; Compliance with Law. Lessor, Lessor's agents, employees,
contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any mortgages,
deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lenders") 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 inspecting the condition of
the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease and all
Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and Lessor shall be
entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith to
advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but not limited
to Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal
of any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of
any such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a
Default or Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a violation of Applicable
Requirements or a contamination, caused or materially contributed to by
Lessee, is found to exist or to be imminent, or unless the inspection is
requested or ordered by a governmental authority as the result of any such
existing or imminent violation or contamination. In such case, Lessee shall
upon request reimburse Lessor or Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the
costs and expenses of such inspections.

include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the
Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order,
condition and state of repair.
(b) Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, procure and
maintain a contract, with copies to Lessor, in customary form and substance
for and with a contractor specializing and experienced in the inspection,
maintenance and service of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for the Premises. However, Lessor reserves the right, upon notice to
Lessee, to procure and maintain the contract for the heating, air conditioning
and ventilating systems, and if Lessor so elects, Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor, upon demand, for the cost thereof.
(c) If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this
Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no
notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf, and
put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, in accordance with
Paragraph 13.2 below.
7.2 Lessor's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2
(Condition), 2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code)
4.2 (Common Area Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessee's Obligations), 9
(Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), Lessor, subject to
reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural condition of interior

detection systems and equipment, fire hydrants, parking lots, walkways,
parkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems serving
the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing the services for
which there is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2.
Lessor shall not be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surfaces of
exterior walls nor shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or replace
windows, doors or plate glass of the Premises. Lessee expressly waives the
benefit of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford
Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this
Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the Building, Industrial Center or
Common Areas in good order, condition and repair.
7.3 Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, Alterations.
(a) Definitions; Consent Required. The term "Utility Installations"
is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels, electrical
distribution, security, fire protection systems, communications systems,
lighting fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment,
plumbing, and fencing in on or about the Premises. The term "Trade Fixtures"
shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be removed without doing
material damage to the Premises. The term "Alterations" shall mean any
modification of the improvements on the Premises which are provided by Lessor
under the terms of this Lease other than Utility Installations or Trade
Fixtures. "Lessee-Owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations" are defined
as Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet
owned by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make nor cause
to be made any Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises
(excluding the roof) without Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so
long as they are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not involve
puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, or changing
or interfering with the fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and the
cumulative cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does not
exceed $2,500.00.
(b) Consent. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee
shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. All consents given by
Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific
consent, shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all
applicable permits required by governmental authorities; (ii) the furnishing
of copies of such permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications
for the Alteration or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of
the work thereon; and (iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of
said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility
Installations by Lessee during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good
and workmanlike manner, with good and sufficient materials, and be in
compliance with all Applicable Requirements. Lessee shall promptly upon
completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications
therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation to do so) condition its consent
to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation that costs $2,500.00 or
more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Alteration
or Utility Installation.
(c) Lien Protection. Lessee shall pay when due all claims for labor
or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at
or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any
mechanic's or materalmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on, or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have
the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as
provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any
such lien, claim or demand then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and
protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and shall pay and
satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the
enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall
require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor
in an amount equal to one and one-half times the amount of such contested lien
claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same, as
required by law for the holding of the Premises free from the effect of such
lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's
attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor shall
decide it is to its best interest to do so.
7.4 Ownership, Removal, Surrender, and Restoration.
(a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to require their removal and
to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided in this
Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises
by Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee, but considered a part
of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its option, elect in writing
to Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per
Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
become the properly 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 operating 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, furnishings,
equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, as well as
the removal of any storage lank 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. Insurance; Indemnity.
8.1 Payment of Premiums. The cost of the premiums for the insurance
policies maintained by Lessor under this Paragraph 8 shall be a Common Area
Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy
periods commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall
be prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date or Expiration
Date.
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
Alteration, 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), 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 either by separate policy or, at Lessor's
option, by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance
coverage on all of Lessee's personal properly, 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+, V, 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 shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the
insurance policies referred to in
-4- Initials: /s/ BAP
/s/ PEI
MULTI-TENANT-MODIFIED NET
(c) American Industrial Real Estate Association 1993
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 Paragraph 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
waive 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 or 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 or
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, or 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.
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 less than 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 per cent (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 Utility 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 9.2, 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
with in 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 at 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, it 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 of any such damage, destruction, repair, emaciation
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
repair 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
-5- Initials: /s/ BAP
/s/ PEI
MULTI-TENANT-MODIFIED NET
(c) American Industrial Real Estate Association 1993
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 provide 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, applicable to the Industrial Center, and except as
otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any such amounts shall be included in
the calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 4.2.
10.2 Real Property Tax Definition. 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. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any
calendar year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be
included in the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year
based upon the number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in
common.
10.3 Additional Improvements. Common Area Operating Expenses shall not
include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessors records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such
other lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however,
pay to Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under
Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed
solely by reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations
placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
10.4 Joint Assessment. If the Building is not separately assessed, Real
Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of
the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within
the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other
information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.
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 directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security, 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).
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 for this purpose.
(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 was represented to Lessor at the time
of full execution and delivery of this Lease or at the time of the most recent
assignment to which Lessor has consented, or 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 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 alter 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, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase
the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment,
the then fair market value as reasonably determined by Lessor (without the
Lease being considered an encumbrance or any deduction to, depreciation or
obsolescence, and considering the Premises at its highest and best use and in
good condition) or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price previously in
effect, (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 to 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 or 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.

(c) American Industrial Real Estate Association 1993
(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 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,
nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed
liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with
any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such Sublease. Lessee
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of
a written notice from Lessor stating that a 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 soon 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.
(d) No sublessee under a sublease approved 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 if 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 Share of Common Area
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 properly, 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, it applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable Requirements
per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service contracts
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 or
of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor, was materially
false.
(g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is
guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a
Guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with
the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the
guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an
anticipatory breach basis, and Lessee's failure within sixty (60) days
following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such
event, to provide Lessor with written alternative assurances of security,
which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or
exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that
existed at the time of execution of this Lease.
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 an 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 proximatey 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 retailing, 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 statue 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 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.

(c) American Industrial Real Estate Association 1993
(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.
13.3 Inducement Recapture In Event of Breach. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of
which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions" shall
be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of
the terms covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed
by Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the
occurrence of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee,
any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this
Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus,
inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under
such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to
Lessor, and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance
by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of
this Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions
of this Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at
the time of such acceptance.
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 from
Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10)
days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice
to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 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 it 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 there after 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 it 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 for
Lessee'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.
15.2 Additional Terms. Unless Lessor and Broker(s) have otherwise agreed
in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as defined
in Paragraph 39.1) granted under this Lease or any Option subsequently
granted, or (b) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other
premises in which Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in
possession of the Premises with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of
the term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if
said Brokers are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale entered into
between the Parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent property in
which Lessor has an interest, or (e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by
agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then as to any of said
transactions, Lessor shall pay said Broker(s) a fee in accordance with the
schedule of said Broker(s) in effect at the time of the execution of this
Lease.
15.3 Assumption of Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation
of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this
Paragraph 15. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the
provisions of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its
interest in any commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right
directly against Lessor and its successors.
15.4 Representations and Warranties. Lessee and Lessor each represent and
warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person firm broker
or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other

Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as

exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential late
charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.

effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that

transmission during normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently

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

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 moneys 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

Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment.

execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.

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.
27. 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.
28. Covenants and Conditions. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
29. 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.
30. 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 (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events
occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or
defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound
by prepayment of more than one Month's rent.
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 or
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 3 1.
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
term 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
or 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, 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 or 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 hold 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 conditions as are then
reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given.
37. Guarantor.
37.1 Form of Guaranty. If there are to be any Guarantors of this Lease
per Paragraph 1.11, the form of the guaranty to be executed by each such
Guarantor shall be in the form most recently published by the American
Industrial Real Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall have the
same obligations as Lessee under this lease, including but not limited to the
obligation to provide the Tenancy Statement and information required in
Paragraph 16.
37.2 Additional Obligations of Guarantor. It shall constitute a Default
of the Lessee under this Lease if any such Guarantor fails or refuses, upon
reasonable request by Lessor to give: (a) evidence of the due execution of the
guaranty called for by this Lease, including the authority of the Guarantor
(and of any party signing on Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on
said guaranty, and resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making
of such guaranty, together with a certificate of incumbency showing the
signatures of the persons authorized to sign on its behalf, (b) current
financial statements of Guarantor as may from time to time be requested by
Lessor, (c) a Tenancy Statement, or (d) written confirmation that the guaranty
is still in effect.
38. Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and
the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's
part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease.

are not assignable either as part of an assignment of this Lease or separately
or apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated from this Lease in any
manner, by reservation or otherwise.

terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due
and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise, and during the

such easement, rights, dedication, maps or restrictions.

any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as if was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.

change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such reasonable
non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably required by an
institutional insurance company or pension plan Lender in connection with the
obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the property of which the
