LEASE
By this Lease Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord
the Premises in the Building as set forth and described on the Reference Pages.
The Premises are depicted on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
the Building is depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The
Reference Pages, including all terms defined thereon, are incorporated as part
of this Lease.
1. USE AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE.
1.1 The Premises are to be used solely for the purposes set forth on
the Reference Pages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Tenant may change the use set forth on the Reference Pages with Landlord's
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall not do
or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way
obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the
Building or injure, annoy, or disturb them, or allow the Premises to be used for
any improper, immoral, unlawful, or objectionable purpose, or commit any waste.
Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer in, on, or about the Premises the sale of
any alcoholic liquor without the written consent of Landlord first obtained.
Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
applicable to the use of the Premises and its occupancy and shall promptly
comply with all governmental orders and directions for the correction,
prevention and abatement of any violations in the Building or appurtenant land,
caused or permitted by, or resulting from the specific use by, Tenant or in or
upon, or in connection with, the Premises, all at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant
shall not do or permit anything to be done on or about the Premises or bring or
keep anything into the Premises which will in any way increase the rate of,
invalidate or prevent the procuring of any insurance protecting against loss or
damage to the Building or any of its contents by fire or other casualty or
against liability for damage to property or injury to persons in or about the
Building or any part thereof.
1.2 Tenant shall not, and shall not direct, suffer or permit any of its
agents, contractors, employee's, licensees or invitees (collectively, the
"Tenant Entities") to at any time handle, use, manufacture, store or dispose of
in or about the Premises or the Building any (collectively "Hazardous
Materials") flammables, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes or
materials, toxic wastes or materials, or other similar substances, petroleum
products or derivatives or any substance subject to regulation by or under any
federal, state and local laws and ordinances relating to the protection of the
environment or the keeping, use or disposition of environmentally hazardous
materials, substances, or wastes, presently in effect or hereafter adopted, all
amendments to any of them, and all rules and regulations issued pursuant to any
of such laws or ordinances (collectively "Environmental Laws"), nor shall Tenant
suffer or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used in any manner not fully in
compliance with all Environmental Laws, in the Premises or the Building and
appurtenant land or allow the environment to become contaminated with any
Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store,
use or dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials
(such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for copiers, paints, paint
remover and the like) to the extent customary and necessary for the use of the
Premises for general office purposes; provided that Tenant shall always handle,
store, use, and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful
manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises,
Building and appurtenant land or the environment. Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold each and all of the Landlord Entities (as defined in Article
30) harmless from and against any and all loss, claims, liability or costs
(including court costs and attorney's fees) incurred by reason of any actual or
asserted failure of Tenant to fully comply with all applicable Environmental
Laws, or the presence, handling, use or disposition in or from the Premises of
any Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Tenant Entity (even though permissible
under all applicable Environmental Laws or the provisions of this Lease), or by
reason of any actual or asserted failure of Tenant to keep, observe, or perform
any provision of this Section 1.2. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has
completed, executed and delivered to Landlord the Environmental Questionnaire
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit F and reaffirms that all
information provided in such Environmental Questionnaire is true and complete in
all respects as of the date hereof. Tenant shall not have any liability to
Landlord or to any third party under this Section 1.2 resulting from any
conditions existing, or events occurring, or any Hazardous Materials existing or
generated, at, in, on, under or in connection with the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date (herein defined).
1.3 Tenant and the Tenant Entities will be entitled to the
non-exclusive use of the common areas of the Building as they exist from time to
time during the Term, including the parking facilities, subject to Landlord's
rules and regulations regarding such use. However, in no event will Tenant or
the Tenant Entities park more vehicles in the parking facilities than Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the total parking spaces available for common use. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to provide Tenant with an exclusive right to any
parking spaces or any guaranty of the availability of any particular parking
spaces or any specific number of parking spaces.

2. TERM.
2.1 The Term of this Lease shall begin on the date ("Commencement
Date") which shall be the Scheduled Commencement Date as shown on the Reference
Pages, and shall terminate on the date as shown on the Reference Pages
("Termination Date"), unless sooner terminated by the provisions of this Lease.
Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date and
all the work, if any, to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit B to this
Lease shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date.
Tenant shall deliver a punch list of items not completed within thirty (30) days
after Landlord tenders possession of the Premises and Landlord agrees to proceed
with due diligence to perform its obligations regarding such items. Tenant
shall, at Landlord's request, execute and deliver a memorandum agreement
provided by Landlord in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, setting forth the
actual Commencement Date, Termination Date and, if necessary, a revised rent
schedule. Should Tenant fail to do so within thirty (30) days after Landlord's
request, the information set forth in such memorandum provided by Landlord shall
be conclusively presumed to be agreed and correct.
2.2 Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord to
deliver possession of the Premises on the Scheduled Commencement Date for any
reason, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such
inability, but Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until the time when
Landlord can, after notice to Tenant, deliver possession of the Premises to
Tenant. No such failure to give possession on the Scheduled Commencement Date
shall affect the other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except that if
Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises within seven (7) days
after the Scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the option to terminate
this Lease unless said delay is as a result of: (a) Tenant's failure to agree to
plans and specifications and/or construction cost estimates or bids; (b)
Tenant's request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord's
standard except those, if any, that Landlord shall have expressly agreed to
furnish without extension of time agreed by Landlord; (c) Tenant's change in any
plans or specifications; or, (d) performance or completion by a party employed
by Tenant (each of the foregoing, a "Tenant Delay"). If any delay is the result
of a Tenant Delay, the Commencement Date and the payment of rent under this
Lease shall be accelerated by the number of days of such Tenant Delay.
2.3 In the event Landlord permits Tenant, or any agent, employee or
contractor of Tenant, to enter, use or occupy the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, such entry, use or occupancy shall be subject to all the
provisions of this Lease other than the payment of rent, including, without
limitation, Tenant's compliance with the insurance requirements of Article 11.
Said early possession shall not advance the Termination Date.
3. RENT.
3.1 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Annual Rent in effect from
time to time by paying the Monthly Installment of Rent then in effect on or
before the first day of each full calendar month during the Term, except that
the first full month's rent shall be paid upon the execution of this Lease. The
Monthly Installment of Rent in effect at any time shall be one-twelfth (1/12) of
the Annual Rent in effect at such time. Rent for any period during the Term
which is less than a full month shall be a prorated portion of the Monthly
Installment of Rent based upon the number of days in such month. Said rent shall
be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset and without notice or demand,
at the Rent Payment Address, as set forth on the Reference Pages, or to such
other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate
in writing. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may require by notice to
Tenant that all subsequent rent payments be made by an automatic payment from
Tenant's bank account to Landlord's account, without cost to Landlord. Tenant
must implement such automatic payment system prior to the next scheduled rent
payment or within ten (10) days after Landlord's notice, whichever is later.
Unless specified in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts and sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed additional rent.
3.2 Tenant recognizes that late payment of any rent or other sum due
under this Lease will result in administrative expense to Landlord, the extent
of which additional expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical
to ascertain. Tenant therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is not paid
within seven (7) days after due and payable pursuant to this Lease, a late
charge shall be imposed in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) Fifty Dollars
($50.00), or (b) four percent (4%) of the unpaid rent or other payment. The
amount of the late charge to be paid by Tenant shall be reassessed and added to
Tenant's obligation for each successive month until paid. The provisions of this
Section 3.2 in no way relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or other
payments on or before the date on which they are due, nor do the terms of this
Section 3.2 in any way affect Landlord's remedies pursuant to Article 19 of this
Lease in the event said rent or other payment is unpaid after date due.
4. RENT ADJUSTMENTS.
4.1 For the purpose of this Article 4, the following terms are defined
as follows:
MTIN
2
4.1.1 LEASE YEAR: Each fiscal year (as determined by Landlord
from time to time) falling partly or wholly within the Term.
4.1.2 EXPENSES: All reasonable and customary costs of
operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the Building
(including the amount of any credits which Landlord may grant to particular
tenants of the Building in lieu of providing any standard services or paying any
standard costs described in this Section 4.1.2 for similar tenants), as
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
including the following costs by way of illustration, but not limitation: water
and sewer charges; insurance charges of or relating to all insurance policies
and endorsements deemed by Landlord to be reasonably necessary or desirable and
relating in any manner to the protection, preservation, or operation of the
Building or any part thereof; utility costs, including, but not limited to, the
cost of heat, light, power, steam, gas; waste disposal; the cost of janitorial
services; the cost of security and alarm services (including any central station
signaling system); costs of cleaning, repairing, replacing and maintaining the
common areas, including parking and landscaping, window cleaning costs; labor
costs; costs and expenses of managing the Building including management and/or
administrative fees; air conditioning maintenance costs; elevator maintenance
fees and supplies; material costs; equipment costs including the cost of
maintenance, repair and service agreements and rental and leasing costs;
purchase costs of equipment; current rental and leasing costs of items which
would be capital items if purchased; tool costs; licenses, permits and
inspection fees; wages and salaries; employee benefits and payroll taxes;
accounting and legal fees; any sales, use or service taxes incurred in
connection therewith. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, as
additional rent (which, along with any other capital expenditures constituting
Expenses, Landlord may either include in Expenses or cause to be billed to
Tenant along with Expenses and Taxes but as a separate item), Tenant's
Proportionate Share of: (i) an allocable portion of the cost of capital
improvement items which are reasonably calculated to reduce operating expenses;
(ii) the cost of fire sprinklers and suppression systems and other life safety
systems; and (iii) other capital expenses which are required under any
governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not applicable to the
Building at the time it was constructed; but the costs described in this
sentence shall be amortized over the reasonable life of such expenditures in
accordance with such reasonable life and amortization schedules as shall be
determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, with interest on the unamortized amount at one percent (1%) in
excess of the Wall Street Journal prime lending rate announced from time to
time. Expenses shall not include depreciation or amortization of the Building or
equipment in the Building except as provided herein, loan principal payments,
costs of alterations of tenants' premises, leasing commissions, interest
expenses on long-term borrowings or advertising costs.
4.1.3 TAXES: Real estate taxes and any other taxes, charges
and assessments which are levied with respect to the Building or the land
appurtenant to the Building, or with respect to any improvements, fixtures and
equipment or other property of Landlord, real or personal, located in the
Building and used in connection with the operation of the Building and said
land, any payments to any ground lessor in reimbursement of tax payments made by
such lessor and all fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in
investigating, protesting, contesting or in any way seeking to reduce or avoid
increase in any assessments, levies or the tax rate pertaining to any Taxes to
be paid by Landlord in any Lease Year. Taxes shall not include any franchise, or
estate, inheritance or net income tax, or tax imposed upon any transfer by
Landlord of its interest in this Lease or the Building or any taxes to be paid
by Tenant pursuant to Article 28.
4.2 Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each Lease Year Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes incurred for such Lease Year. Landlord
agrees to promptly pay any Expenses and Taxes when due.
4.3 The annual determination of Expenses shall be made by Landlord and
shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.3. During the Term, Tenant may review, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, the books and records supporting such determination in an office of
Landlord, or Landlord's agent, during normal business hours, upon giving
Landlord five (5) days advance written notice within sixty (60) days after
receipt of such determination, but in no event more often than once in any one
(1) year period, subject to execution of a confidentiality agreement acceptable
to Landlord, and provided that if Tenant utilizes an independent accountant to
perform such review it shall be one of national standing which is reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is also
subject to such confidentiality agreement. If Tenant fails to object to
Landlord's determination of Expenses within one hundred eighty (180) days after
receipt, or if any such objection fails to state with specificity the reason for
the objection, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such determination and
shall have no further right to object to or contest such determination. In the
event that during all or any portion of any Lease Year or Base Year, the
Building is not fully rented and occupied Landlord shall make an appropriate
adjustment in occupancy-related Expenses for such year for the purpose of
avoiding distortion of the amount of such Expenses to be attributed to Tenant by
reason of variation in total occupancy of the Building, by employing consistent
and sound accounting and management principles to determine Expenses that would
have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been at least
ninety-five percent (95%) rented and occupied, and the amount so determined
shall be deemed to have been Expenses for such Lease Year.
MTIN
3
4.4 Prior to the actual determination thereof for a Lease Year,
Landlord may from time to time estimate Tenant's liability for Expenses and/or
Taxes under Section 4.2, Article 6 and Article 28 for the Lease Year or portion
thereof. Landlord will give Tenant written notification of the amount of such
estimate and Tenant agrees that it will pay, by increase of its Monthly
Installments of Rent due in such Lease Year, additional rent in the amount of
such estimate. Any such increased rate of Monthly Installments of Rent pursuant
to this Section 4.4 shall remain in effect until further written notification to
Tenant pursuant hereto.
4.5 When the above mentioned actual determination of Tenant's liability
for Expenses and/or Taxes is made for any Lease Year and when Tenant is so
notified in writing, then:
4.5.1 If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid
pursuant to Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or Taxes for the Lease Year
is less than Tenant's liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Tenant shall pay
such deficiency to Landlord as additional rent in one lump sum within thirty
(30) days of receipt of Landlord's xxxx therefor; and
4.5.2 If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid
pursuant to Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or Taxes for the Lease Year
is more than Tenant's liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Landlord shall
credit the difference against the then next due payments to be made by Tenant
under this Article 4, or, if the Lease has terminated, promptly refund the
difference in cash.
4.6 If the Commencement Date is other than January 1 or if the
Termination Date is other than December 31, Tenant's liability for Expenses and
Taxes for the Lease Year in which said Date occurs shall be prorated based upon
a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord
upon the execution of this Lease. Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security
for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant and not as an
advance rental deposit or as a measure of Landlord's damage in case of Tenant's
default. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or
any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may
spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default or to
compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of Tenant's default. If any portion is so used, Tenant shall within five
(5) days after written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Except to such
extent, if any, as shall be required by law, Landlord shall not be required to
keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not
be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security
Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant at such time after
termination of this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled.
6. ALTERATIONS.
6.1 Except for those, if any, specifically provided for in Exhibit B to
this Lease, Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations,
additions, or improvements, including, but not limited to, the attachment of any
fixtures or equipment in, on, or to the Premises or any part thereof or the
making of any improvements as required by Article 7, without the prior written
consent of Landlord. When applying for such consent, Tenant shall, if requested
by Landlord, furnish complete plans and specifications for such alterations,
additions and improvements. Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld with respect to alterations which (i) are not structural in nature,
(ii) are not visible from the exterior of the Building, (iii) do not affect or
require modification of the Building's electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC or
other systems, and (iv) in aggregate do not cost more than $5.00 per rentable
square foot of that portion of the Premises affected by the alterations in
question.
6.2 In the event Landlord consents to the making of any such
alteration, addition or improvement by Tenant, the same shall be made by using
either Landlord's contractor or a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, in
either event at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant shall employ any
contractor other than Landlord's contractor and such other contractor or any
subcontractor of such other contractor shall employ any non-union labor or
supplier, Tenant shall be responsible for and hold Landlord harmless from any
and all delays, damages and extra costs suffered by Landlord as a result of any
dispute with any labor unions concerning the wage, hours, terms or conditions of
the employment of any such labor. In any event Landlord may charge Tenant a
construction management fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such
work to cover its overhead as it relates to such proposed work, plus third-party
costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed work and the
design thereof, with all such amounts being due thirty (30) days after
Landlord's written demand.
MTIN
4
6.3 All alterations, additions or improvements proposed by Tenant shall
be constructed in accordance with all government laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations, using Building standard materials where applicable, and Tenant
shall, prior to construction, provide the additional insurance required under
Article 11 in such case, and also all such assurances to Landlord as Landlord
shall reasonably require to assure payment of the costs thereof, including but
not limited to, notices of non-responsibility, waivers of lien, surety company
performance bonds and funded construction escrows and to protect Landlord and
the Building and appurtenant land against any loss from any mechanic's,
materialmen's or other liens. Tenant shall pay in addition to any sums due
pursuant to Article 4, any increase in real estate taxes attributable to any
such alteration, addition or improvement for so long, during the Term, as such
increase is ascertainable; at Landlord's election said sums shall be paid in the
same way as sums due under Article 4. Landlord may, as a condition to its
consent to any particular alterations or improvements, require Tenant to deposit
with Landlord the amount reasonably estimated by Landlord as sufficient to cover
the cost of removing such alterations or improvements and restoring the
Premises, to the extent required under Section 26.2
7. REPAIR.
7.1 Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair,
decorate or paint the Premises, except as specified in Exhibit B if attached to
this Lease and except that Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural
portions of the roof, foundation and walls of the Building, sprinklers systems,
underground plumbing and sewer lines, water, gas and electric service lines to
the point where such service lines enter the Building of which the Premises are
a part. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant accepts them as being in
good order, condition and repair and in the condition in which Landlord is
obligated to deliver them, except as set forth in the punch list to be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.1, except for latent defects, which Tenant shall have a
period of ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date to discover and promptly
report same to Landlord. It is hereby understood and agreed that no
representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have
been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.
Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform
any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after
written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord
by Tenant
7.2 Tenant shall at its own cost and expense keep and maintain all
parts of the Premises and such portion of the Building and improvements as are
within the exclusive control of Tenant in good condition, promptly making all
necessary repairs and replacements, whether ordinary or extraordinary, with
materials and workmanship of the same character, kind and quality as the
original (including, but not limited to, repair and replacement of all fixtures
installed by Tenant, water heaters serving the Premises, windows, glass and
plate glass, doors, exterior stairs, skylights, any special office entries,
interior walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, heating and air
conditioning systems serving the Premises, electrical systems and fixtures, dock
boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, plumbing work and fixtures, and performance
of regular removal of trash and debris). Tenant as part of its obligations
hereunder shall keep the Premises in a clean and sanitary condition. Tenant
will, as far as possible keep all such parts of the Premises from deterioration
due to ordinary wear and from falling temporarily out of repair, and upon
termination of this Lease in any way Tenant will yield up the Premises to
Landlord in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire
or other casualty excepted (but not excepting any damage to glass). Tenant
shall, at its own cost and expense, repair any damage to the Premises or the
Building resulting from and/or caused in whole or in part by the negligence or
misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees, or any other
person entering upon the Premises as a result of Tenant's business activities or
caused by Tenant's default hereunder.
7.3 Except as provided in Article 22, there shall be no abatement of
rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference
with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or
improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or to
fixtures, appurtenances and equipment in the Building. Except to the extent, if
any, prohibited by law, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's
expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
7.4 Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, enter into a regularly
scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor
approved by Landlord for servicing all heating and air conditioning systems and
equipment serving the Premises (and a copy thereof shall be furnished to
Landlord). The service contract must include all services suggested by the
equipment manufacturer in the operation/maintenance manual and must become
effective within thirty (30) days of the date Tenant takes possession of the
Premises. Should Tenant fail to do so, Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant,
enter into such a maintenance/service contract on behalf of Tenant or perform
the work and in either case, charge Tenant the cost thereof along with a
reasonable amount for Landlord's overhead.
8. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and appurtenant land and
Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises free from any liens arising out of
any services, work or materials performed, furnished, or contracted for by
Tenant, or obligations incurred by Tenant. In the event that Tenant fails,
within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, to either cause
the
MTIN

same to be released of record or provide Landlord with insurance against the
same issued by a major title insurance company or such other protection against
the same as Landlord shall accept (such failure to constitute an Event of
Default), Landlord shall have the right to cause the same to be released by such
means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to
such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in
connection therewith shall be payable to it by Tenant within five (5) days
Landlord's demand.
9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
9.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign or pledge this Lease or
to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises whether voluntarily or by
operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other
than Tenant, and shall not make, suffer or permit such assignment, subleasing or
occupancy.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. None of the Landlord Entities shall be liable and Tenant
hereby waives all claims against them for any damage to any property or any
injury to any person in or about the Premises or the Building by or from any
cause whatsoever (including without limiting the foregoing, rain or water
leakage of any character from the roof, windows, walls, basement, pipes,
plumbing works or appliances, the Building not being in good condition or
repair, gas, fire, oil, electricity or theft), except to the extent caused by or
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
agents, employees or contractors. Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold the
Landlord Entities harmless from and against any and all loss, claims, liability
or costs (including court costs and attorney's fees) incurred by reason of (a)
any damage to any property (including but not limited to property of any
Landlord Entity) or any injury (including but not limited to death) to any
person occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Building to the extent that
such injury or damage shall be caused by or arise from any actual or alleged
act, neglect, fault, or omission by or of Tenant or any Tenant Entity to meet
any standards imposed by any duty with respect to the injury or damage; (b) the
conduct or management of any work or thing whatsoever done by the Tenant in or
about the Premises or from transactions of the Tenant concerning the Premises;
(c) Tenant's failure to comply with any and all governmental laws, ordinances
and regulations applicable to the condition or use of the Premises or its
occupancy; or (d) any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance
of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Tenant to be performed pursuant
to this Lease. The provisions of this Article shall survive the termination of
this Lease with respect to any claims or liability accruing prior to such
termination.
11. INSURANCE.
11.1 Tenant shall keep in force throughout the Term: (a) a Commercial
General Liability insurance policy or policies to protect the Landlord Entities
against any liability to the public or to any invitee of Tenant or a Landlord
Entity incidental to the use of or resulting from any accident occurring in or
upon the Premises with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and
not less than $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate, or such larger amount as
Landlord may prudently require from time to time, covering bodily injury and

aggregate; (b) Business Auto Liability covering owned, non-owned and hired
vehicles with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident; (c) insurance
protecting against liability under Worker's Compensation Laws with limits at
least as required by statute; (d) Employers Liability with limits of $500,000
each accident, $500,000 disease policy limit, $500,000 disease--each employee;
(e) All Risk or Special Form coverage protecting Tenant against loss of or
damage to Tenant's alterations, additions, improvements, carpeting, floor
coverings, panelings, decorations, fixtures, inventory and other business
personal property situated in or about the Premises to the full replacement
value of the property so insured, (f) Business Interruption Insurance for 100%
of the 12 months actual loss sustained, and (g) Excess Liability in the amount
of $5,000,000.
11.2 The aforesaid policies shall (a) be provided at Tenant's expense;
(b) name the Landlord Entities as additional insureds (General Liability) and
loss payee (Property--Special Form); (c) be issued by an insurance company with
a minimum Best's rating of "A:VII" during the Term, and (d) provide that said
insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty (30) days prior written notice
(ten days for non-payment of premium) shall have been given to Landlord; a
certificate of Liability insurance on Accord Form 25 and a certificate of
Property insurance on Accord Form 27 shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant
upon the Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days prior to each renewal
of said insurance.
11.3 Whenever Tenant shall undertake any alterations, additions or
improvements in, to or about the Premises ("Work") the aforesaid insurance
protection must extend to and include injuries to persons and damage to property
arising in connection with such Work, without limitation including liability
under any applicable structural work act, and such other insurance as Landlord
shall require; and the policies of or certificates evidencing such insurance
must be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such Work.
12. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. So long as their respective insurers so permit,
Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery
against each other for any loss insured by fire, extended coverage, All Risks or
other
MTIN
6
insurance now or hereafter existing for the benefit of the respective party but
only to the extent of the net insurance proceeds payable under such policies.
Each party shall obtain any special endorsements required by their insurer to
evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver.
13. SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light,
power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler system charges and other utilities and
services used on or from the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, and
surcharges or the like pertaining thereto and any maintenance charges for
utilities. Tenant shall furnish all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts,
battery packs for emergency lighting and fire extinguishers. If any such
services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such proportion
of all charges jointly metered with other premises as determined by Landlord, in
its sole discretion, to be reasonable. Any such charges paid by Landlord and
assessed against Tenant shall be immediately payable to Landlord on demand and
shall be additional rent hereunder. Tenant will not, without the written consent
of Landlord, contract with a utility provider to service the Premises with any
utility, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, electricity, water,
sewer or gas, which is not previously providing such service to other tenants in
the Building. Landlord shall in no event be liable for any interruption or
failure of utility services on or to the Premises.
14. HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day Tenant retains
possession of the Premises or part of them after termination of this Lease by
lapse of time or otherwise at the rate ("Holdover Rate") which shall be One
Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the amount of the Annual Rent for the last
period prior to the date of such termination plus all Rent Adjustments under
Article 4 prorated on a daily basis, and also pay all damages sustained by
Landlord by reason of such retention. If Landlord gives notice to Tenant of
Landlord's election to such effect, such holding over shall constitute renewal
of this Lease for a period from month to month at the Holdover Rate, but if the
Landlord does not so elect, no such renewal shall result notwithstanding
acceptance by Landlord of any sums due hereunder after such termination; and
instead, a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be deemed to have
been created. In any event, no provision of this Article 14 shall be deemed to
waive Landlord's right of reentry or any other right under this Lease or at law.
15. SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being
executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, this Lease
shall be subject and subordinate at all times to ground or underlying leases and
to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust now or hereafter placed on,
against or affecting the Building, Landlord's interest or estate in the
Building, or any ground or underlying lease; provided, however, that if the
lessor, mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust
elects to have Tenant's interest in this Lease be superior to any such
instrument, then, by notice to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed superior,
whether this Lease was executed before or after said instrument. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver within ten
(10) days of Landlord's request such further instruments evidencing such
subordination or superiority of this Lease as may be required by Landlord.
16. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with all
the rules and regulations as set forth in Exhibit D to this Lease and all
reasonable and non-discriminatory modifications of and additions to them from
time to time put into effect by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to
Tenant for the non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building
of any such rules and regulations.
17. REENTRY BY LANDLORD.
17.1 Landlord reserves and shall at all times have the right to
re-enter the Premises to inspect the same, to show said Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises
and any portion of the Building, without abatement of rent, and may for that
purpose erect, use and maintain scaffolding, pipes, conduits and other necessary
structures and open any wall, ceiling or floor in and through the Building and
Premises where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed,
provided entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further
provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably.
Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the arrangement and/or
locations of entrances, or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors,
windows, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Building and to
change the name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly known.
In the event that Landlord damages any portion of any wall or wall covering,
ceiling, or floor or floor covering within the Premises, Landlord shall repair
or replace the damaged portion to match the original as nearly as commercially
reasonable but shall not be required to repair or replace more than the portion
actually damaged. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned by any action
of Landlord authorized by this Article 17.
17.2 For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times
have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in the Premises,
excluding Tenant's vaults and safes or special security areas (designated in
advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency to obtain entry to
any portion
MTIN
7
of the Premises. As to any portion to which access cannot be had by means of a
key or keys in Landlord's possession, Landlord is authorized to gain access by
such means as Landlord shall elect and the cost of repairing any damage
occurring in doing so shall be borne by Tenant and paid to Landlord within five
(5) days of Landlord's demand.
18. DEFAULT.
18.1 Except as otherwise provided in Article 20, the following events
shall be deemed to be Events of Default under this Lease:
18.1.1 Tenant shall fail to pay when due any sum of money
becoming due to be paid to Landlord under this Lease, whether such sum be any
installment of the rent reserved by this Lease, any other amount treated as
additional rent under this Lease, or any other payment or reimbursement to
Landlord required by this Lease, whether or not treated as additional rent under
this Lease, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after
written notice that such payment was not made when due, but if any such notice
shall be given, for the twelve (12) month period commencing with the date of
such notice, the failure to pay within five (5) days after due any additional
sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord under this Lease during such
period shall be an Event of Default without notice.
18.1.2 Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or
covenant of this Lease which is not provided for in another Section of this
Article and shall not cure such failure within twenty (20) days (forthwith, if
the failure involves a hazardous condition) after written notice of such failure
to Tenant provided, however, that such failure shall not be an event of default
if such failure could not reasonably be cured during such twenty (20) day
period, Tenant has commenced the cure within such twenty (20) day period and
thereafter is diligently pursuing such cure to completion, but the total
aggregate cure period shall not exceed ninety (90) days.
18.1.3 Tenant shall fail to vacate the Premises immediately
upon termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon
termination of Tenant's right to possession only.
18.l.4 Tenant shall become insolvent, admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition in
bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, make a transfer in fraud of creditors,
apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole
or any substantial part of its property, or file a petition or answer seeking
reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now in
effect or hereafter amended, or any other applicable law or statute of the
United States or any state thereof.
18.1.5 A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order,
judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant bankrupt, or appointing a receiver of
Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, without the
consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking
reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United
States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such
order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within
sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof.
19. REMEDIES.
19.1 Except as otherwise provided in Article 20, upon the occurrence of
any of the Events of Default described or referred to in Article 18, Landlord
shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies
without any notice or demand whatsoever, concurrently or consecutively and not
alternatively:
19.1.1 Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease or
terminate Tenant's right to possession only, without terminating the Lease.
19.1.2 Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of
time or otherwise, or upon any termination of Tenant's right to possession
without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate
the Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Tenant
hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the
Premises in such event and to repossess Landlord of the Premises as of
Landlord's former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be
occupying or be within the Premises and to remove Tenant's signs and other
evidence of tenancy and all other property of Tenant therefrom without being
deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer,
and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, Tenant
waiving any right to claim damages for such re-entry and expulsion, and without
relinquishing Landlord's right to rent or any other right given to Landlord
under this Lease or by operation of law.
MTIN

19.1.3 Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of
time or otherwise, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages, all rent,
including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease, and other
sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the sum of: (a) an amount equal
to the then present value of the rent reserved in this Lease for the residue of
the stated Term of this Lease including any amounts treated as additional rent
under this Lease and all other sums provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant,
minus the fair rental value of the Premises for such residue; (b) the value of
the time and expense necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, and
the estimated expenses described in Section 19.1.4 relating to recovery of the
Premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself; and (c) the cost
of performing any other covenants which would have otherwise been performed by
Tenant.
19.1.4 Upon any termination of Tenant's right to possession
only without termination of the Lease:
19.1.4.1 Neither such termination of Tenant's right
to possession nor Landlord's taking and holding possession thereof as provided
in Section 19.1.2 shall terminate the Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in
part, from any obligation, including Tenant's obligation to pay the rent,
including any amounts treated as additional rent, under this Lease for the full
Term, and if Landlord so elects Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the
entire amount of the rent as and when it becomes due, including any amounts
treated as additional rent under this Lease, for the remainder of the Term plus
any other sums provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of
the Term.
19.1.4.2 Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to relet the Premises or portions thereof to the extent required by
applicable law. Landlord and Tenant agree that nevertheless Landlord shall at
most be required to use only the same efforts Landlord then uses to lease
premises in the Building generally and that in any case that Landlord shall not
be required to give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of the
Premises or portions thereof over any other space that Landlord may be leasing
or have available and may place a suitable prospective tenant in any such other
space regardless of when such other space becomes available and that Landlord
shall have the right to relet the Premises for a greater or lesser term than
that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet only a portion of the
Premises, or a portion of the Premises or the entire Premises as a part of a
larger area, and the right to change the character or use of the Premises. In
connection with or in preparation for any reletting, Landlord may, but shall not
be required to, make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises
and redecorate the same to the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and
Tenant shall pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord's expenses of
reletting, including, without limitation, any commission incurred by Landlord,
within five (5) days of Landlord's demand. Landlord shall not be required to
observe any instruction given by Tenant about any reletting or accept any tenant
offered by Tenant unless such offered tenant has a credit-worthiness acceptable
to Landlord and leases the entire Premises upon terms and conditions including a
rate of rent (after giving effect to all expenditures by Landlord for tenant
improvements, broker's commissions and other leasing costs) all no less
favorable to Landlord than as called for in this Lease, nor shall Landlord be
required to make or permit any assignment or sublease for more than the current
term or which Landlord would not be required to permit under the provisions of
Article 9.
19.1.4.3 Until such time as Landlord shall elect to
terminate the Lease and shall thereupon be entitled to recover the amounts
specified in such case in Section 19.1.3, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon
demand the full amount of all rent, including any amounts treated as additional
rent under this Lease and other sums reserved in this Lease for the remaining
Term, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating
and Landlord's expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent accruing
therefrom (including, reasonable attorney's fees and broker's commissions), as
the same shall then be due or become due from time to time, less only such
consideration as Landlord may have received from any reletting of the Premises;
and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suits from time to time to recover any
sums falling due under this Article 19 as they become due. Any proceeds of
reletting by Landlord in excess of the amount then owed by Tenant to Landlord
from time to time shall be credited against Tenant's future obligations under
this Lease but shall not otherwise be refunded to Tenant or inure to Tenant's
benefit.
19.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may (but
shall not be obligated to) cure such default at Tenant's sole expense. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may, at Landlord's option,
enter into and upon the Premises if Landlord determines in its sole discretion
that Tenant is not acting within a commercially reasonable time to maintain,
repair or replace anything for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease or
to otherwise effect compliance with its obligations under this Lease and correct
the same, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or
forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any liability for any damage
or interruption of Tenant's business resulting therefrom and Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord within five (5) days of Landlord's demand as additional rent,
for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with
Tenant's obligations under this Lease, plus interest from the date of
expenditure by Landlord at the Wall Street Journal prime rate.
19.3 Tenant understands and agrees that in entering into this Lease,
Landlord is relying upon receipt of all the Annual and Monthly Installments of
Rent to become due with respect to all the Premises originally leased hereunder
over the full Initial Term of this Lease for amortization, including interest at
the Amortization Rate. For purposes hereof, the "Concession Amount" shall be
MTIN
9
defined as the aggregate of all amounts forgone or expended by Landlord as free
rent under the lease, under Exhibit B hereof for construction allowances
(excluding therefrom any amounts expended by Landlord for Landlord's Work, as
defined in Exhibit B), and for brokers' commissions payable by reason of this
Lease. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if this Lease or Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises leased hereunder shall be terminated as of any date
("Default Termination Date") prior to the expiration of the full Initial Term
hereof by reason of a default of Tenant, there shall be due and owing to
Landlord as of the day prior to the Default Termination Date, as rent in
addition to all other amounts owed by Tenant as of such Date, the amount
("Unamortized Amount") of the Concession Amount determined as set forth below;
provided, however, that in the event that such amounts are recovered by Landlord
pursuant to any other provision of this Article 19, Landlord agrees that it
shall not attempt to recover such amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 19.3. For
the purposes hereof, the Unamortized Amount shall be determined in the same
manner as the remaining principal balance of a mortgage with interest at the
Amortization Rate payable in level payments over the same length of time as from
the effectuation of the Concession concerned to the end of the full Initial Term
of this Lease would be determined. The foregoing provisions shall also apply to
and upon any reduction of space in the Premises, as though such reduction were a
termination for Tenant's default, except that (i) the Unamortized Amount shall
be reduced by any amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord to effectuate such
reduction and (ii) the manner of application shall be that the Unamortized
Amount shall first be determined as though for a full termination as of the
Effective Date of the elimination of the portion, but then the amount so
determined shall be multiplied by the fraction of which the numerator is the
rentable square footage of the eliminated portion and the denominator is the
rentable square footage of the Premises originally leased hereunder, and the
amount thus obtained shall be the Unamortized Amount.
19.4 If, on account of any breach or default by Tenant in Tenant's
obligations under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it shall become
necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or consult with an attorney or
collection agency concerning or to enforce or defend any of Landlord's rights or
remedies arising under this Lease or to collect any sums due from Tenant, Tenant
agrees to pay all costs and fees so incurred by Landlord, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
19.5 Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude
pursuit of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease or any other
remedies provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative), nor shall
pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver
of any rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to
Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and
covenants contained in this Lease.
19.6 No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term
shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of
the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of
said Premises shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by
Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and
covenants contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute a
waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and
covenants contained in this Lease. Landlord's acceptance of the payment of
rental or other payments after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not
be construed as a waiver of such Default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in
writing. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcing one or more of the remedies
provided in this Lease upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed
to constitute a waiver of such Default or of Landlord's right to enforce any
such remedies with respect to such Default or any subsequent Default
19.7 Landlord hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, any right to claim a contractual or statutory landlord's lien
against any of Tenant's moveable personal property at the Premises.
19.8 Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by
Landlord pursuant to the authority of this Lease or of law, to which Tenant is
or may be entitled, may be handled, removed and/or stored, as the case may be,
by or at the direction of Landlord but at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant,
and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or
safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all
expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property
so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's
control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken by Tenant from storage within
thirty (30) days after removal from the Premises shall, at Landlord's option, be
deemed conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as by a xxxx of sale
without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant
20. TENANT'S BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY.
20.1 If at any time and for so long as Tenant shall be subjected to the
provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United
States or any state thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such
time (each a "Debtor's Law"):
20.1.1 Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee
or receiver of Tenant's assets (each a "Tenant's Representative") shall have no
greater right to assume or assign this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or
to sublease any of the Premises than accorded to Tenant in Article 9, except to
the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such assumption, assignment
MTIN
10
or sublease by the provisions of such Debtor's Law. Without limitation of the
generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant's Representative to assume
or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the Premises shall be subject to the
conditions that:
20.1.1.1 Such Debtor's Law shall provide to Tenant's
Representative a right of assumption of this Lease which Tenant's Representative
shall have timely exercised and Tenant's Representative shall have fully cured
any default of Tenant under this Lease.
20.1.1.2 Tenant's Representative or the proposed
assignee, as the case shall be, shall have deposited with Landlord as security
for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to the larger of: (a) three (3)
months' rent and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease; and (b) any
sum specified in Article 5; and shall have provided Landlord with adequate other
assurance of the future performance of the obligations of the Tenant under this
Lease. Without limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the case
of assumption of this Lease, demonstration to the satisfaction of the Landlord
that Tenant's Representative has and will continue to have sufficient
unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and
administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant's Representative will
have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;
and, in the case of assignment, submission of current financial statements of
the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and showing a net worth and working capital in
amounts determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance
by such assignee of all of the Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
20.1.1.3 The assumption or any contemplated
assignment of this Lease or subleasing any part of the Premises, as shall be the
case, will not breach any provision in any other lease, mortgage, financing
agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.
20.1.1.4 Landlord shall have, or would have had
absent the Debtor's Law, no right under Article 9 to refuse consent to the
proposed assignment or sublease by reason of the identity or nature of the
proposed assignee or sublessee or the proposed use of the Premises concerned.
21. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and
authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, while paying the rental and
performing its other covenants and agreements contained in this Lease, shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term without
hindrance or molestation from Landlord subject to the terms and provisions of
this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any interference or disturbance by
other tenants or third persons, nor shall Tenant be released from any of the
obligations of this Lease because of such interference or disturbance.
22. CASUALTY
22.1 In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or
other cause and in Landlord's reasonable estimation such damage can be
materially restored within one hundred twenty (120) days, Landlord shall
forthwith repair the same and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement in rent from
the date of such damage. Such abatement of rent shall be made pro rata in
accordance with the extent to which the damage and the making of such repairs
shall interfere with the use and occupancy by Tenant of the Premises from time
to time. Within forty-five (45) days from the date of such damage, Landlord
shall notify Tenant, in writing, of Landlord's reasonable estimation of the
length of time within which material restoration can be made, and Landlord's
determination shall be binding on Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the
Building or Premises shall be deemed "materially restored" if they are in such
condition as would not prevent or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the
Premises for the purpose for which it was being used immediately before such
damage.
22.2 If such repairs cannot, in Landlord's reasonable estimation, be
made within one hundred eighty (180) days, Landlord and Tenant shall each have
the option of giving the other, at any time within thirty (30) days after such
damage, notice terminating this Lease as of the date of such damage. In the
event of the giving of such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of
the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate as of the date of such damage as if
such date had been originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the
Term. In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its option to
terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall repair or restore such damage, this

22.4 In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs
and material restoration within sixty (60) days after the date estimated by
Landlord therefor as extended by this Section 22.4, Tenant may at its option and
as its sole remedy terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to
Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of said period of time,
whereupon the Lease shall end on the date of such notice or such later date
fixed in such notice as if the date of such notice was the date originally fixed
in this Lease for the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that if
construction is delayed because of changes, deletions or additions in
construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, Acts of God,
war, material or labor shortages, government regulation or control or other
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for restoration,
repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the amount of time Landlord is so
delayed.
22.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article: (a) Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,
reconstruct, or restore the Premises when the damages resulting from any
casualty covered by the provisions of this Article 22 occur during the last
twelve (12) months of the Term or any extension thereof, but if Landlord
determines not to repair such damages Landlord shall notify Tenant and if such
damages shall render any material portion of the Premises untenantable Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's notice; and (b) in the event the
holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises or Building requires that any insurance proceeds be applied to such
indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days
after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this Lease shall
end on the date of such damage as if the date of such damage were the date
originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.
22.6 In the event of any damage or destruction to the Building or
Premises by any peril covered by the provisions of this Article 22, it shall be
Tenant's responsibility to properly secure the Premises and upon notice from
Landlord to remove forthwith, at its sole cost and expense, such portion of all
of the property belonging to Tenant or its licensees from such portion or all
of the Building or Premises as Landlord shall request.
23. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any substantial part of the Premises shall be
taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of
eminent domain, or conveyance in lieu of such appropriation, either party to
this Lease shall have the right, at its option, of giving the other, at any time
within thirty (30) days after such taking, notice terminating this Lease, except
that Tenant may only terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation,
if such taking or appropriation shall be so substantial as to materially
interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. If neither party to
this Lease shall so elect to terminate this Lease, the rental thereafter to be
paid shall be adjusted on a fair and equitable basis under the circumstances. In
addition to the rights of Landlord above, if any substantial part of the
Building shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority
under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, and regardless
of whether the Premises or any part thereof are so taken or appropriated,
Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this Lease.
Landlord shall be entitled to any and all income, rent, award, or any interest
whatsoever in or upon any such sum, which may be paid or made in connection with
any such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord any interest it may have in or claim to all or any part of such sums,
other than any separate award which may be made with respect to Tenant's trade
fixtures and moving expenses; Tenant shall make no claim for the value of any
unexpired Term.
24. SALE BY LANDLORD. In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the
Building, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability
upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, contained in this
Lease in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the
responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease.
Except as set forth in this Article 24, this Lease shall not be affected by any
such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee. If any
security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of
the covenants of this Lease, Landlord may transfer or deliver said security, as
such, to Landlord's successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be
discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.
25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within ten (10) days following any written request
which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord or mortgagee or prospective mortgagee a sworn statement certifying: (a)
the date of commencement of this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications to
this Lease, that this lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and
stating the date and nature of such modifications); (c) the date to which the
rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) the fact that
there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant
except as specified in Tenant's statement; and (e) such other matters as may be
requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered
pursuant to this Article 25 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary or
purchaser, and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost or expense resulting
from the failure of any sale or funding of any loan caused by any material
misstatement contained in such estoppel certificate. Tenant irrevocably agrees
that if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such certificate within such ten
(10) day period Landlord or Landlord's beneficiary or agent may execute and
deliver such certificate on Tenant's behalf, and that such certificate shall be
fully binding on Tenant.

26. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
26.1 Tenant shall arrange to meet Landlord for two (2) joint
inspections of the Premises as set forth in Exhibit E, the first to occur at
least thirty (30) days (but no more than sixty (60) days) before the last day of
the Term, and the second to occur not later than forty-eight (48) hours after
Tenant has vacated the Premises, as set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto and
incorporated herein. In the event of Tenant's failure to arrange such joint
inspections, if not due to Landlord's inability or uncooperation, and/or
participate in either such inspection, Landlord's inspection at or after
Tenant's vacating the Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes
of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs and restoration.
26.2 All alterations, additions, and improvements in, on, or to the
Premises made or installed by or for Tenant, including carpeting (collectively,
"Alterations"), shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Term. Upon

ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord reasonably elects by notice given to Tenant at least ten

remove any Alterations, including carpeting, so designated by Landlord's notice,
and repair any damage caused by such removal. Tenant must, at Tenant's sole
cost, remove upon termination of this Lease, any and all of Tenant's furniture,
furnishings, movable partitions of less than full height from floor to ceiling
and other trade fixtures and personal property (collectively, "Personalty").
Personalty not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by the Tenant and title to
the same shall thereupon pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a xxxx of sale,
but Tenant shall remain responsible for the cost of removal and disposal of such
Personalty, as well as any damage caused by such removal. In lieu of requiring
Tenant to remove Alterations and Personalty and repair the Premises as
aforesaid, Landlord may, by written notice to Landlord delivered at least thirty
(30) days before the Termination Date, require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as
additional rent hereunder, the cost of such removal and repair in an amount
reasonably estimated by Landlord.
26.3 All obligations of Tenant under this Lease not fully performed as
of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated
by Landlord, necessary to repair and restore the Premises as provided in this
Lease and/or to discharge Tenant's obligation for unpaid amounts due or to
become due to Landlord. All such amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for
payment of such obligations of Tenant, with Tenant being liable for any
additional costs upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to
Tenant after all such obligations have been determined and satisfied. Any
otherwise unused Security Deposit shall be credited against the amount payable
by Tenant under this Lease.
27. NOTICES. Any notice or document required or permitted to be delivered under
this Lease shall be addressed to the intended recipient, by fully prepaid
registered or certified United States Mail return receipt requested, or by

Tenant's Notice Address.
28. TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT. In addition to rent and other charges to be paid by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord, upon demand, any

taxes) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties
to this Lease: (a) upon, allocable to, or measured by or on the gross or net
rent payable under this Lease, including without limitation any gross income tax
or excise tax levied by the State, any political subdivision thereof, or the

common areas (parking lots, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.) appurtenant thereto.

copy, of Tenant's most recent audited financial statement, or, if unaudited,
certified by Tenant's chief financial officer as being true, complete and
correct in all material respects. Landlord agrees that such financial reports
shall be kept confidential and shall only be disclosed to Landlord's
accountants, attorneys and other third parties as deemed reasonably necessary by

its representatives or understandings made between the parties other than those
set forth in this Lease and its exhibits. This Lease may not be modified except

required by Article 5, the first month's rent as set forth in Article 3 and any
sum owed pursuant to this Lease.

memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, and then shall
