and operation of the Building. Tenant will maintain the Premises in a clean
and healthful condition, and comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules
and regulations of any governmental entity with reference to the operation of

hereof and the full amount of all parking charges, if any, due in accordance
with this Lease (the "Additional Base Rental") and all such other sums of money
as shall become due under this Lease (including, without limitation, any
charges for replacement of electric lamps and ballasts that are above Building

and payable in advance in equal monthly installments on the first day of each
calendar month during the Lease Term and any extensions or renewals hereof, and

such payments shall be by a good and sufficient check. No payment by Tenant or
receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct amount of
Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account
of the earliest Rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on
any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord
and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance or pursue any other
available remedy. The acceptance by Landlord of any Rent on a date after the
due date of such payment shall not be construed to be a waiver of Landlord's
right to declare a default for any other late payment. Tenant's covenant to
pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant set forth in this Lease.
B. All Rent not paid when due and payable shall bear interest from the
date due until paid (provided Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of

additional Rent upon presentation of statements therefor by Landlord.

ingress and egress to and from the floor of the Premises during Normal

administrative orders, wear, use, repairs, improvements, alterations, Force

Landlord shall not render Landlord liable in any respect nor be construed as an
eviction of Tenant, nor give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant
from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any of
the equipment or machinery used in the provision of such services for any cause
cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair
such equipment or machinery, but except as otherwise expressly provided herein,

account of an interruption in service or resulting therefrom. Landlord's
entire obligation with respect to the repair and maintenance of the Premises
are set forth above.

set forth on Exhibit G hereto and any unattached and movable equipment or
furniture, trade fixtures or other personalty of Tenant ("Tenant's Property")

Tenant to remove any Leasehold Improvements performed by or for the benefit of
Tenant and all electronic, phone and data cabling as are designated by Landlord
(the "Required Removables") at Tenant's sole cost. In the event that Landlord
so elects, Tenant shall remove such Required Removables on or before the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair any damage caused by
such removal. If Tenant, on or before ten (10) days after the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease or Tenant's right to possession, fails to
remove any Required Removables specified by Landlord or fails to

remove any of Tenant's Property, Landlord may remove, store or dispose of the
Required Removables and Tenant's Property at Tenant's cost and repair any
damage caused by such removal and Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional Rent
hereunder, on demand, all such costs.
C. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is required to install an ATM
machine in the Premises or Building in connection with the operation of its
business. Landlord and Tenant agree to work together in good faith to
determine a location within the Premises or Building that is mutually
acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, taking into account any relevant
considerations such as traffic flow, aesthetics and ease of installation and
maintenance. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a
location, the reasonable determination of Landlord shall prevail. Tenant
acknowledges that such ATM machine shall be considered to be Tenant's Property
and shall be removed by Tenant in accordance with Section VIII.B. above upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to

good condition and repair. Such repairs shall restore the Premises to as good
a condition as it was in prior to such damage and shall be effected in
compliance with the reasonable directions of Landlord. If Tenant falls to

such repairs, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the Landlord on demand
as additional Rent.
B. Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, additions
or improvements to the Premises, nor install any vending machines, safes or
other heavy property or equipment within the Premises, nor place signs or

Landlord for examination of the architectural, mechanical, electric and
plumbing plans for any alterations, additions or improvements and for the costs

agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, or invitees. For
improvements other than the Initial Improvements, if Landlord so requests,
Tenant may permit Landlord to supervise construction operations, but no such
supervision shall impose any liability upon Landlord. In the event Landlord

in the amount of fifteen percent (15%) of the cost of such construction.

work performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be a

applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or
regulations.

A. All electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord's
option, be paid for by Tenant either (1) through inclusion in Base Rental or
Basic Costs, or (2) by a separate charge billed directly to Tenant by Landlord
and payable by Tenant as additional Rent, or (3) by a separate charge billed by
the utility company supplying electricity and payable by Tenant directly to
such utility company. Tenant's use of electrical and heating, ventilating and
air conditioning ("HVAC") services furnished by Landlord shall not exceed,
either in voltage, rated capacity, use or overall load, that which Landlord
deems to be standard for the Building. Landlord acknowledges, that as of the
date of this Lease, (i) Tenant's use of electricity services does not exceed
the standard for electrical usage for the Building and (ii) no additional Base
Rental as due and owing as a result of said usage. In the event Tenant shall
request that it be allowed to consume electrical or HVAC services in excess of
that deemed by Landlord to be
91
9
standard for the Building, Landlord may refuse to consent to such usage or may
consent upon such conditions as Landlord elects (including the installation of
utility service upgrades, submeters, air handlers or cooling units), and all
such additional usage (to the extent permitted by law), installation and
maintenance thereof shall be paid for by Tenant as additional Rent. Landlord
shall have the right to separately meter electrical usage for the Premises at
any time during the Lease Term or to use any other method of measuring
electrical usage that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, deems to be
appropriate.
B. If Landlord generates or distributes electric current for the
Building, Tenant shall obtain all current from Landlord and pay as additional
Rent Landlord's charges therefor, provided, however, that if the cost of
providing electricity IS not included in Base Rental or Basic Costs, the
charges to Tenant shall not exceed the rate that would be charged Tenant if
billed directly by the local utility for the same services. Landlord may cease
to furnish electricity upon 30 days prior written notice, provided within the
30 days Landlord connects with another source of electric supply.
XII. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its agents or representatives shall
have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, or to show the
Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, tenants or insurers, or to
clean or make repairs, alterations or additions thereto, including any work
that Landlord deems necessary for the safety, protection or preservation of the
Building or any occupants thereof, or to facilitate repairs, alterations or
additions to the Building or any other tenants premises. If reasonably
necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees, Landlord
shall have the right to temporarily close the Premises to perform repairs,
alterations or additions in the Premises, provided that such closure does not
violate federal law and provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
perform all such work on weekends and after Normal Business Hours. Entry by
Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle
Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason thereof.
XIII. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber this Lease or
any interest therein or grant any license, concession or other right of
occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof or otherwise permit the use of
the Premises or any portion thereof by any party other than Tenant (any of
which events is hereinafter called a "Transfer") without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with
respect to any proposed assignment or subletting. Landlord's consent shall not
be considered unreasonably withheld if: 1. the proposed transferee's financial
responsibility does not meet the same criteria Landlord uses to select Building
tenants; 2. the proposed transferee's business is not suitable for the Building
considering the business of the other tenants and the Building's prestige or
would result in a violation of an exclusive right granted to another tenant in
the Building; 3. the proposed use is different than the Permitted Use; 4. the
proposed transferee is a government agency or occupant of the Building; or 5.
Tenant is in default. Tenant acknowledges that the foregoing is not intended
to be an exclusive list of the reasons for which Landlord may reasonably
withhold its consent to a proposed Transfer. Any attempted Transfer in
violation of the terms of this Article shall, at Landlord's option, be void.
Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfers shall not operate as a waiver of
Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers. In addition, Tenant shall
not, without Landlord's consent, publicly offer or advertise the Lease for
Transfer in any media. In the event Tenant or anyone acting on behalf of
Tenant or with Tenant's knowledge violates the provisions of the foregoing
sentence, Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, shall be entitled to
seek injunctive relief preventing such action, and Tenant shall be responsible
for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
B. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing at least 45 days prior to the effective date of the
proposed Transfer of the name of the proposed transferee and the nature of the
business of the proposed transferee, the term, use, rental rate and all other
material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including, without
limitation, evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the proposed transferee is
financially responsible. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section XIII.A.
above, Landlord may, during said 45-day period, 1. consent to or refuse to
consent to such Transfer in writing; or 2. negotiate directly with the proposed
transferee and (in the event Landlord is able to reach agreement with such
proposed transferee) upon execution of a lease with such transferee, terminate
this Lease (in part or in whole, as appropriate) upon thirty (30) days' notice;
or 3. cancel and terminate this Lease, in whole or in part as appropriate, upon
30 days notice. In the event Landlord consents to any such Transfer, the
Transfer shall be in a form approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall bear all
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and
approval of such documentation, which costs and expenses shall be deemed to be
at least Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00).
92
10
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in Section
XIII.D., Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublet the
Premises to a wholly owned corporation or controlled subsidiary or parent of
Tenant or to any successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or
reorganization (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Corporate Transfer")
without the consent of Landlord, provided: (i) Tenant is not in default under
this Lease; (ii) if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by
purchase, said proposed transferee shall acquire all or substantially all of
the stock or assets of Tenant's business or, if such proposed transferee is a
successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or reorganization, the continuing
or surviving corporation shall own all or substantially all of the assets of
Tenant; (iii) such proposed transferee shall have a net worth which is at least
equal to the greater of Tenant's net worth at the date of this Lease or
Tenant's net worth at the date of the Transfer; (iv) such proposed transferee
operates the business in the Premises for the Permitted Use and no other
purpose; and (v) in no event shall any Transfer release or relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such Corporate
Transfer. As used herein, the terms "controlled" or "subsidiary" shall mean a
corporate entity wholly owned by Tenant or at least fifty-one percent (51%) of
whose voting stock is owned by Tenant.
C. All cash or other proceeds (the "Transfer Consideration") of any
Transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease and/or the Premises, whether
consented to by Landlord or not, shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant hereby
assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any such proceeds to
Landlord. In addition to the Rent hereunder, Tenant hereby covenants and
agrees to pay to Landlord all rent and other consideration which it receives
which is in excess of the Rent payable hereunder within ten (10) days following
receipt thereof by Tenant. In addition to any other rights Landlord may have,
Landlord shall have the right to contact any transferee and require that all
payments made pursuant to the Transfer shall be made directly to Landlord.
D. If Tenant is a corporation and if at any time during the Lease Term
the person or persons who own the voting shares at the time of the execution of
this Lease cease for any reason, including but not limited to merger,
consolidation or other reorganization involving another corporation, to own a
majority of such shares, or if Tenant is a partnership and if at any time
during the Lease Term the general partner or partners who own the general
partnership interests in the partnership at the time of the execution of this
Lease, cease for any reason to own a majority of such interests (except as the
result of transfers by gift, bequest or inheritance to or for the benefit of
members of the immediate family of such original shareholder(s) or partner(s)),
such an event shall be deemed to be a Transfer. The preceding sentence shall
not apply whenever Tenant is a corporation the outstanding stock of which is
listed on a recognized security exchange, or if at least eighty per cent (80%)
of its voting stock is owned by another corporation, the voting stock of which
is so listed.
E. Any Transfer consented to by Landlord in accordance with this Article
XIII shall be only for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose, and in no
event shall any Transfer release or relieve Tenant or any Guarantors from any
obligations under this Lease.
XIV. LIENS. Tenant will not permit any mechanic's liens or other liens to
be placed upon the Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest therein, the
Building, or the real estate associated therewith. Landlord's title to the
Building and Property is and always shall be paramount to the interest of
Tenant, and nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act that
can, shall or may encumber Landlord's title. In the event any such lien does
attach, Tenant shall, within 5 days of notice of the filing of said lien,
either discharge or bond over such lien to the satisfaction of Landlord and
Landlord's Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined), and in such a manner as to stay
the enforcement or foreclosure of such lien. If Tenant shall fail to so
discharge or bond over such lien, then, in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the
same. Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, including
reasonable attorneys fees (if and to the extent permitted by law) shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional Rent.
XV. INDEMNITY AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS.
A. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its principals,
beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, employees and any
Mortgagee(s) (collectively the "Landlord Related Parties") harmless against and
from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable architects' and
attorneys' fees (if and to the extent permitted by law), which may be imposed
upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related
Parties and arising, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with the
use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises by, through or under Tenant, and
(without limiting the generality of the foregoing) any of the following: 1.
any work or thing done in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof by
Tenant
93
11
or any of its transferees, agents, servants, contractors, employees, customers,
licensees or invitees; 2. any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition,
operation or maintenance of the Premises or any part thereof; 3. any act or
omission of Tenant or any of its transferees, agents, servants, contractors,
employees, customers, licensees or invitees, regardless of whether such act or
omission occurred within the Premises; 4. any injury or damage to any person or
property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof; or 5. any
failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants,
agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease with which Tenant must
comply or perform. In case any action or proceeding is brought against
Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by reason of any of the
foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, resist and defend
such action or proceeding with counsel approved by Landlord or, at Landlord's
option, reimburse Landlord for the cost of any counsel retained directly by
Landlord to defend and resist such action or proceeding.
B. Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties shall not be liable for, and
Tenant waives, all claims for loss or damage to Tenant's business or damage to
person or property sustained by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant (including Tenant's employees) resulting from any accident or
occurrence in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Property,
including, without limitation, claims for loss, theft or damage resulting from:
1. the Premises, Building, or Property, or any equipment or appurtenances
becoming out of repair; 2. wind or weather; 3. any defect in or failure to
operate, for whatever reason, any sprinkler, heating or air-conditioning
equipment, electric wiring, gas, water or steam pipes; 4. broken glass; 5. the
backing up of any sewer pipe or downspout; 6. the bursting, leaking or running
of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe; 7. the escape of steam or
water; 8. water, snow or ice being upon or coming through the roof, skylight,
stairs, doorways, windows, walks or any other place upon or near the Building;
9. the falling of any fixture, plaster, tile or other material; 10. any act,
omission or negligence of other tenants, licensees or any other persons or
occupants of the Building or of adjoining or contiguous buildings, of owners of
adjacent or contiguous property or the public, or by construction of any
private, public or quasi-public work; or 11. any other cause of any nature
except, as to items 1. - 9., where such loss or damage is due to Landlord's
willful failure to make repairs required to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Lease, after the expiration of a reasonable time after
written notice to Landlord of the need for such repairs. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such
other portions of the Building as Tenant is herein given the right to use, at
Tenant's own risk.
C. Except for losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties,
claims, costs, charges and expenses resulting from the negligence of Tenant
and/or its agents, employees or contractors, and subject to the provisions of
Article XVII hereof, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its
principals, agents and employees (collectively the "Tenant Related Parties")
harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, damages (other than
consequential damages), penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be imposed
upon, incurred by, or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related
Parties and arising, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with any
of the following: (i) any work or thing done in, on or about the Common Areas or
any part thereof by Landlord or any of its agents, contractors or employees;
(ii) any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition, operation,
maintenance or management of the Common Areas or any part thereof by Landlord
or any of its agents, contractors or employees (iii) any act or omission of
Landlord or any of its agents, contractors or employees; and (iv) any injury or
damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Common Areas or
any part thereof; provided, however, that in each case such liability,
obligation, damage, penalty, claim, cost, charge or expense results from the
negligence of Landlord and/or its agents, employees or contractors.
XVI. TENANT'S INSURANCE.
A. At all times commencing on and after the earlier of the Commencement
Date and the date Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors enters the
Premises for any purpose, Tenant shall carry and maintain, at its sole cost and
expense:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance with a Broad Form General
Liability Endorsement applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances
providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000).
2. All Risks of Physical Loss Insurance written at replacement cost
value and with a replacement cost endorsement covering all of Tenant's
Property in the Premises.
94
12
3. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by the state in
which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by
applicable statute, and Employers Liability Coverage of One Hundred
Thousand (1 00,000.00) per occurrence.
4. Whenever good business practice, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment, indicates the need of additional insurance coverage or
different types of insurance in connection with the Premises or
Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, Tenant shall, upon request,
obtain such insurance at Tenant's expense and provide Landlord with
evidence thereof.
B. Except for items for which Landlord is responsible under the Work
Letter Agreement, before any repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, or
construction are undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall carry and
maintain, at its expense, or Tenant shall require any contractor performing
work on the Premises to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, in
addition to worker's compensation insurance as required by the jurisdiction in
which the Building is located, All Risk Builder's Risk Insurance in the amount
of the replacement cost of any alterations, additions or improvements (or such
other amount reasonably required by Landlord) and Commercial General Liability
Insurance (including, without limitation, Contractor's Liability coverage,
Contractual Liability coverage, Completed Operations coverage, a Broad Form
Property Damage coverage and Contractor's Protective liability) written on an
occurrence basis with a minimum combined single limit of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000); such limit may be accomplished by means of an umbrella policy.
C. Any company writing any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain
or cause to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease (all such
insurance as well as any other insurance pertaining to the Premises or the
operation of Tenant's business therein being referred to as "Tenant's
Insurance"), as well as the form of such insurance, shall at all times be
subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, and each such insurance company
shall have an A.M. Best rating of "A7" or better and shall be licensed and
qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises are located. All
policies evidencing Tenant's Insurance (except for Workers Compensation) shall
specify Tenant and the "owner[s] of the Building and its (or their) respective
principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and
mortgagee[s]" (and any other designees of Landlord as the interest of such
designees shall appear) as additional insureds. Provided that the coverage
afforded Landlord and any designees of Landlord shall not be reduced or
otherwise adversely affected, all of Tenant's Insurance may be carried under a
blanket policy covering the Premises and any other of Tenant's locations. All
policies of Tenant's Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s)
will give to Landlord and its designees at least thirty (30) days' advance
written notice of any change, cancellation, termination or lapse of said
insurance. Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of premiums for all
of Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the time Tenant's Insurance is first required to be carried by
Tenant, and upon renewals at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of
any such insurance coverage, a certificate of insurance of all policies
procured by Tenant in compliance with its obligations under this Lease. The
limits of Tenant's Insurance shall in no event limit Tenant's liability under
this Lease.
D. Tenant shall not do or fail to do anything in, upon or about the
Premises which will: 1. violate the terms of any of Landlord's insurance
policies; 2. prevent Landlord from obtaining policies of insurance acceptable
to Landlord or any Mortgagees; or 3. result in an increase in the rate of any
insurance on the Premises, the Building, any other property of Landlord or of
others within the Building. In the event of the occurrence of any of the
events set forth in this Section, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand, as
additional Rent, the cost of the amount of any increase in any such insurance
premium. If Tenant fails to obtain the insurance coverage required by this
Lease, Landlord may, at its option, obtain such insurance for Tenant, and
Tenant shall pay, as additional Rent, the cost of all premiums thereon and all
of Landlord's costs associated therewith.
XVII. SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to
the contrary, Landlord and Tenant do hereby waive any and all right of
recovery, claim, action or cause of action against the other, their respective
principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, and
employees, and, with respect to Landlord, its Mortgagee[s], for any loss or
damage that may occur to Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through
or under Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to their
respective property, the Building, the Property or the Premises or any addition
or improvements thereto, or any contents therein, by reason of fire, the
elements or any other cause, regardless of cause or origin, including the
negligence of Landlord or Tenant, or their respective principals,
beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents and employees and, with
respect to Landlord, its Mortgagee[s], which loss or damage is (or would have
been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by
insurance. Since this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such
claim by
95
13
subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person),
Landlord and Tenant each agree to give each insurance company which has issued,
or in the future may issue, its policies of fire, extended coverage or material
damage insurance, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver, and to
have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the
invalidation of any of the coverage provided by such insurance policies by
reason of such mutual waiver. For the purpose of the foregoing waiver, the
amount of any deductible applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed
covered by, and recoverable by the insured under the insurance policy to which
such deductible relates. In the event that Tenant is permitted to and
self-insures any risk which would have been covered by the insurance required
to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Article XVI of the Lease, or if Tenant
fails to carry any insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to
Article XVI of this Lease, then all loss or damage to Tenant, its leasehold
interest, its business, its property, the Premises or any additions or
improvements thereto or contents thereof shall be deemed covered by and
recoverable by Tenant under valid and collectible policies of insurance.
XVIII. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord shall maintain property insurance
on the Building in such amounts as Landlord reasonably elects. The cost of
such insurance shall be included as a part of the Basic Costs, and payments for
losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the Mortgagees of
Landlord as their interests shall appear.
XIX. CASUALTY DAMAGE. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be
damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged that substantial
alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord's sole opinion,
be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such
casualty) or in the event the Premises have been damaged and there is less than
one (1) year of the Lease Term remaining on the date of such casualty or in the
event any Mortgagee should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a
result of a casualty be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the
event of any material uninsured loss to the Building, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination
within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. Such termination
shall be effective as of the date of fire or casualty, with respect to any
portion of the Premises that was rendered untenantable, and the date specified
in Landlord's notice, with respect to any portion of the Premises that remained
tenantable. In addition to Landlord's rights to terminate as provided herein,
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if (1) a substantial
portion of the Premises has been damaged by fire or other casualty; (2) there
is less than one (1) year of the Lease Term remaining on the date of such
casualty; (3) the casualty was not caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors, and (4) Tenant
provides Landlord with written notice of its intent to terminate within thirty
(30) days after the date of the fire or other casualty. If neither Landlord
nor Tenant elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed
with reasonable diligence to restore the Building (provided that Landlord shall
not be required to restore any unleased premises in the Building) and the
Leasehold Improvements (but excluding any improvements, alterations or
additions made by Tenant in violation of this Lease) located within the
Premises, if any, which Landlord has insured to substantially the same
condition they were in immediately prior to the happening of the casualty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's obligation to restore the Building,
and the Leasehold Improvements, if any, shall not require Landlord to expend
for such repair and restoration work more than the insurance proceeds actually
received by the Landlord as a result of the casualty. When repairs to the
Premises have been completed by Landlord, Tenant shall complete the restoration
or replacement of all Tenant's Property necessary to permit Tenant's
reoccupancy of the Premises, and Tenant shall present Landlord with evidence
satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's ability to pay such costs prior to
Landlord's commencement of repair and restoration of the Premises. Landlord
shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to
the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair
thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the next sentence, Landlord
shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of Rent on a per them basis during the
time and to the extent the Premises are untenantable. If the Premises or any
other portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty resulting
from the fault or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, employees, or
contractors, the Rent hereunder shall not be diminished during any period
during which the Premises, or any portion thereof, is untenantable, and Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for the cost of the repair and restoration of the
Building caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by
insurance proceeds. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any law
from time to time in effect during the Lease Term relating to the effect upon
leases of partial or total destruction of leased property. Landlord and Tenant
agree that their respective rights in the event of any damage to or destruction
of the Premises shall be those specifically set forth herein.
XX. DEMOLITION. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
96
14
XXI. CONDEMNATION. If 1. the whole or any substantial part of the
Premises or 2. any portion of the Building or Property which would leave the
remainder of the Building unsuitable for use as an office building comparable
to its use on the Commencement Date, shall be taken or condemned for any public
or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by
right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then Landlord
may, at its option, terminate this Lease effective as of the date the physical
taking of said Premises or said portion of the Building or Property shall
occur. In the event this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable Area of the
Building, the Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant's Pro Rate Share shall
be appropriately adjusted. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises
so taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired term of this Lease
effective when the physical taking of said portion of the Premises shall occur.
All compensation awarded for any such taking or condemnation, or sale proceeds
in lieu thereof, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no
claim thereto, the same being hereby expressly waived by Tenant, except for any
portions of such award or proceeds which are specifically allocated by the
condemning or purchasing party for the taking of or damage to trade fixtures of
Tenant, which Tenant specifically reserves to itself provided, however, Tenant
may file a claim at its sole cost and expense and receive an award for the
Tenant's Property and Tenant's reasonable relocation expenses, provided the
filing of such claim does not adversely affect or diminish the award which
would otherwise have been received by Landlord had Tenant not filed such a
claim and received such award.
XXII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events shall be deemed to be
events of default under this Lease:
A. Tenant shall fall to pay when due any Base Rental,
Additional Base Rental or other Rent under this Lease and such failure
shall continue for five (5) days after delivery of notice to Tenant
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Monetary Default").
B. Any failure by Tenant (other than a Monetary Default) to
comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, which
failure is not cured within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant of
notice of the occurrence of such failure, provided that if any such
failure creates a hazardous condition, such failure must be cured
immediately.
C. Tenant or any Guarantor shall become insolvent, or shall
make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall commit an act of
bankruptcy or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or Tenant or any Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts as they become due.
D. Tenant or any Guarantor shall file a petition under any
section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended,
pertaining to bankruptcy, or under any similar law or statute of the
United States or any State thereof, or Tenant or any Guarantor shall
be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant
or any Guarantor thereunder; or a petition or answer proposing the
adjudication of Tenant or any Guarantor as a debtor or its
reorganization under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy
or similar law shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer
shall not be discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the
filing thereof.
E. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any Guarantor or of the
Premises or of any of Tenant's property located thereon in any
proceeding brought by Tenant or any Guarantor, or any such receiver or
trustee shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Tenant or
any Guarantor and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after
such appointment or Tenant or such Guarantor shall consent to or
acquiesce in such appointment.
F. The leasehold estate hereunder shall be taken on execution
or other process of law or equity in any action against Tenant.
G. Tenant shall abandon or vacate any substantial portion of
the Premises without the prior written permission of Landlord.
H. Tenant shall fail to take possession of and occupy the
Premises within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date and
thereafter continuously conduct its operations in the Premises for the
Permitted Use as set forth in Paragraph IV hereof.
I. The liquidation, termination, dissolution, forfeiture of
right to do business or death of Tenant or any Guarantor.
97
15
J. Tenant shall be in default beyond any notice and cure
period under any other lease with Landlord.
XXIII. REMEDIES.
A. Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default under this
Lease, whether enumerated in Article XXII or not, Landlord shall have the
option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice
(except as expressly prescribed herein) or demand whatsoever (and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically waives
notice and demand for payment of Rent or other obligations due and waives any
and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by applicable law):
1. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the
Premises upon termination of the Lease hereunder, Landlord may without
prejudice to any other remedy which it may have, enter upon and take
possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other
person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof, by force,
if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of
damages therefor, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand
the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on
satisfactory terms or otherwise, specifically including but not limited
to all Costs of Reletting (hereinafter defined) and any deficiency that
may arise by reason of any reletting or failure to relet.
2. Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or
remove Tenant or any other person who may be occupying said Premises, or
any part thereof, by force, if necessary, without having any civil or
criminal liability therefor and without terminating this Lease. Landlord
may (but shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises or any part
thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or
otherwise, without notice to Tenant for such term or terms which may be
greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted
the balance of the Lease Term and on such conditions (which may include
concessions, free rent and alterations of the Premises) and for such uses
as Landlord in its absolute discretion may determine, and Landlord may
collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting.
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand all Costs of Reletting and any
deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting or failure to
relet. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to
relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any
Rent due upon any such reletting. No such re-entry or taking of
possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election
on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
such termination is given to Tenant.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages,
provided that such reasonable efforts shall not require Landlord to relet
the Premises in preference to any other space in the Building or to relet
the Premises to any party that Landlord could reasonably reject as a
transferee pursuant to Article XIII hereof.
3. Enter upon the Premises by force if necessary without having any
civil or criminal liability therefor, and do whatever Tenant is
obligated to do under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord on demand for any expense which Landlord may incur in
thus affecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease
together with interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to: a.
the Maximum Rate, or b. the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%), and
Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence
of Landlord or otherwise.
4. In order to regain possession of the Premises and to deny Tenant
access thereto in any instance in which Landlord has terminated this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to limit access to the Premises
in accordance with local law in the event of a default by Tenant,
Landlord or its agent may, at the expense and liability of the Tenant,
alter or change any or all locks or other security devices controlling
access to the Premises without posting or giving notice of any kind to
Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant a key or
grant Tenant access to the Premises so long as Tenant is in default under
this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to recover possession of the
Premises, terminate this Lease, or recover any actual, incidental,
consequential, punitive, statutory or other damages or award of
attorneys' fees, by reason of Landlord's alteration or change of any lock
or other security device and the resulting exclusion from the Premises of
the Tenant or Tenant's agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees,
invitees or any other persons from the Premises. Landlord may, without
notice, remove and either dispose of or store, at
98
16
Tenant's expense, any property belonging to Tenant that remains in the
Premises after Landlord has regained possession thereof.
5. Terminate this Lease, in which event, Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord and pay to Landlord the sum of: a. all
Rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination, and, upon
Landlord's determination thereof, b. an amount equal to (i) the total
Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the
Lease Term discounted to present value at the prime rate then in effect,
minus (ii) the then present fair rental value of the Premises for the
remainder of the Lease Term, similarly discounted, after deducting all
anticipated Costs of Reletting. Landlord's determination of such amount
shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant, and shall be deemed to have
been made in good faith, subject only to manifest error.
B. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Costs of Reletting" shall mean
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the reletting of
the Premises, including without limitation, Rent loss during the period the
Premises are vacant prior to reletting, the cost of cleaning, renovation,
repairs, decoration and alteration of the Premises for a new tenant or tenants,
advertisement, marketing, brokerage and legal fees (if and to the extent
permitted by law), the cost of protecting or caring for the Premises while
vacant, the cost of removing and storing any property located on the Premises,
any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Premises and
any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord including tenant
inducements such as the cost of moving the new tenant or tenants and the cost
of assuming any portion of the existing lease(s) of the new tenant(s).
C. Except as otherwise herein provided, no repossession or re-entering on
the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Article XXIII hereof or otherwise
shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations
hereunder, all of which shall survive such repossession or re-entering.
Notwithstanding any such repossession or re-entering by reason of the
occurrence of an event of default, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent
required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
D. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right
and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by agreement, applicable law or in
equity. In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall
be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief,
or to a decree compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to
Landlord at law or in equity. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more
of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
E. This Article XXIII shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such
enforcement is not prohibited by applicable law, and the unenforceability of
any portion thereof shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion.
XXIV. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY
CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR
LANDLORD HEREUNDER) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN
THE BUILDING, AND TENANT AGREES TO LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE
BUILDING FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST THE LANDLORD, IT
BEING INTENDED THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR
DEFICIENCY. TENANT HEREBY COVENANTS THAT, PRIOR TO THE FILING OF ANY SUIT FOR
AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD HEREUNDER, IT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND ALL
MORTGAGEES WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES OR DEED OF TRUST LIENS
ON THE PROPERTY, BUILDING OR PREMISES NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE SUCH
ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. IN ADDITION, TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EQUITY
OFFICE PROPERTIES, INC. IS ACTING SOLELY IN ITS CAPACITY AS AGENT FOR LANDLORD
AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES OR DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY
WAIVED BY TENANT.
XXV. NO WAIVER. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately
upon its occurrence, or delay in taking any action in connection with an event
of default shall not constitute a waiver of such default, nor shall it
constitute an estoppel against Landlord, but Landlord shall have the right to
declare the default at any time and take such action as is lawful or authorized
under this Lease. Failure by Landlord to enforce its rights with respect to
any one default shall not constitute a waiver of its rights with respect to any
subsequent default. Receipt
99
17
by Landlord of Tenant's keys to the Premises shall not constitute an
acceptance or surrender of the Premises.
XXVI. EVENT OF BANKRUPTCY. In addition to, and in no way limiting the
other remedies set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant ever
becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization,
composition, or other similar type proceeding under the federal bankruptcy
laws, as now enacted or hereinafter amended, then:
A. "Adequate protection" of Landlord's interest in the Premises pursuant
to the provisions of Section 361 and 363 (or their successor sections) of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., (such Bankruptcy Code as
amended from time to time being herein referred to as the "Bankruptcy Code"),
prior to assumption and/or assignment of the Lease by Tenant shall include, but
not be limited to all (or any part) of the following:
1. the continued payment by Tenant of the Base Rental and all other
Rent due and owing hereunder and the performance of all other covenants
and obligations hereunder by Tenant;
2. the hiring of security guards to protect the Premises if Tenant
abandons and/or ceases operations; such obligation of Tenant only to be
effective so long as Tenant remains in possession and control of the
Premises to the exclusion of Landlord;
3. the furnishing of an additional/new security deposit by Tenant
in the amount of three (3) times the then-current monthly Base Rental.
B. "Adequate assurance of future performance" by Tenant and/or any
assignee of Tenant pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 will include (but
not be limited to) payment of an additional/new Security Deposit in the amount
of three (3) times the then-current Base Rental payable hereunder.
C. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed without further act or deed
to have assumed all of the obligations of Tenant arising under this Lease on
and after the effective date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon
demand by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming
such assumption of liability.
D. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts
payable by Tenant to or on behalf of the Landlord under this Lease, whether or
not expressly denominated as "Rent", shall constitute "rent" for the purposes
of Section 502(b) (6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
E. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other considerations
payable or otherwise to be delivered to Landlord (including Base Rentals and
other Rent hereunder), shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord
and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the bankruptcy estate of
Tenant. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Landlord's
property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall
be held in trust by Tenant or Tenant's bankruptcy estate for the benefit of
Landlord and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.
F. If Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who shall have
made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms
acceptable to the Tenant, then notice of such proposed offer/assignment,
setting forth 1. the name and address of such person or entity, 2. all of the
terms and conditions of such offer, and 3. the adequate assurance to be
provided Landlord to assure such person's or entity's future performance under
the Lease, shall be given to Landlord by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days
after receipt by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to
the date that Tenant shall make application to a court of competent
jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assumption and
assignment, and Landlord shall thereupon have the prior right and option, to be
exercised by notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of
such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same
terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide
offer made by such persons or entity, less any brokerage commission which may
be payable out of the consideration to be paid by such person for the
assignment of this Lease.
G. To the extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that this
Lease is a contract under which applicable law excuses Landlord from accepting
performance from (or
100
18
rendering performance to) any person or entity other than Tenant within
(c) and 365(e) (2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
XXVII. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold, and
enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms of this Lease (including,
without limitation, Article XXX hereof, provided that Tenant pays the Rent
herein recited to be paid by Tenant and performs all of Tenant's covenants and
agreements herein contained. This covenant and any and all other covenants of
Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or
their respective periods of ownership of the Landlord's interest hereunder.
XXVIII. RELOCATION. Landlord, at its expense, shall be entitled to cause
Tenant to relocate from the Premises to space containing approximately the same
Rentable Area as the Premises (the "Relocation Space") within the Building or
adjacent buildings within the same project at any time upon one hundred twenty
(120) days prior written notice to Tenant provided that the Relocation Space
shall be located on the first floor of such building. Such a relocation shall
not affect this Lease except that from and after the date of such relocation,
"Premises" shall refer to the Relocation Space into which Tenant has been
moved, rather than the original Premises as herein defined, and the Base Rental
shall be adjusted so that immediately following such relocation the Base Rental
for the Relocation Space per annum on a per square foot of Rentable Area basis
shall be the same as the Base Rental per annum immediately prior to such
relocation for the original Premises on a per square foot of Rentable Area
basis.
XXIX. HOLDING OVER. In the event of holding over by Tenant after
expiration or other termination of this Lease or in the event Tenant continues
to occupy the Premises after the termination of Tenant's right of possession
pursuant to Articles XXII and XXIII hereof, occupancy of the Premises
subsequent to such termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at
sufferance and in no event for month-to-month or year-to-year, but Tenant
shall, throughout the entire holdover period, pay rent (on a per month basis
without reduction for any partial months during any such holdover) equal to
twice the sum of the Base Rental and Additional Base Rental due for the period
immediately preceding such holding over, provided that in no event shall Base
Rental and Additional Base Rental during the holdover period be less than the
fair market rental for the Premises. No holding over by Tenant or payments of
money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the term of this Lease
shall be construed to extend the Lease Term or prevent Landlord from recovery
of immediate possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise.
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damage, including any consequential
damage, which Landlord may suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant, and
Tenant shall indemnity Landlord against any and all claims made by any other
tenant or prospective tenant against Landlord for delay by Landlord in
delivering possession of the Premises to such other tenant or prospective
tenant.
XXX. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and
subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or other lien
presently existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises, or upon the Building
and/or the Property and to any renewals, modifications, refinancings and
extensions thereof (any such mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other lien being
hereinafter referred to as a "Mortgage", and the person or entity having the
benefit of same being referred to hereinafter as a "Mortgagee"), but Tenant
agrees that any such Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate
such Mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as
such Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion. This clause shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.
However, Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to
subordinate this Lease to any Mortgage, and Tenant agrees upon demand to
execute such further instruments subordinating this Lease, acknowledging the
subordination of this Lease or attorning to the holder of any such Mortgage as
Landlord may request. The terms of this Lease are subject to approval by the
Landlord's existing lender(s) and any lender(s) who, at the time of the
execution of this Lease, have committed or are considering committing to
Landlord to make a loan secured by all or any portion of the Property, and such
approval is a condition precedent to Landlord's obligations hereunder. In the
event that Tenant should fail to execute any subordination or other agreement
required by this Article promptly as requested, Tenant hereby irrevocably
constitutes Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute such instrument in
Tenant's name, place and stead, it being agreed that such power is one coupled
with an interest in Landlord and is accordingly irrevocable. If any person
shall succeed to all or part of Landlord's interests in the Premises whether by
purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination
of lease or otherwise, and if and as so requested or required by such
successor-in-interest, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to such
successor-in-interest. Tenant agrees that it will from time to time upon
request by Landlord and, within live (5) days of the date of such request,
execute and deliver to such persons as Landlord shall request an estoppel
certificate or other similar statement in recordable form certifying that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that the same is in
101
19
full force and effect as so modified), stating the dates to which Rent and
other charges payable under this Lease have been paid, stating that Landlord is
not in default hereunder (or if Tenant alleges a default stating the nature of
such alleged default) and further stating such other matters as Landlord shall
reasonably require.
Upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to
obtain a nondisturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord's
then current mortgagee on such mortgagee's then current standard form of
agreement. "Reasonable efforts" of Landlord shall not require Landlord to
incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed
that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the
mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the mortgagees form
of nondisturbance, subordination and attornment agreement and return the same
to Landlord for execution by the mortgagee. Landlord's failure to obtain a
non-disturbance, subordination and adornment agreement for Tenant shall have no
effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be
considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.
XXXI. ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event that Landlord should retain counsel
and/or institute any suit against Tenant for violation of or to enforce any of
the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or should Tenant institute any suit
against Landlord for violation of any of the covenants or conditions of this
Lease, or should either party intervene in any suit in which the other is a
party to enforce or protect its interest or rights hereunder, the prevailing
party in any such suit shall be entitled to all of its costs, reasonable
expenses and reasonable fees of its attorney(s) (if and to the extent permitted
by law) in connection therewith.
XXXII. NOTICE. Whenever any demand, request, approval, consent or notice
("Notice") shall or may be given to either of the parties by the other, each
such Notice shall be in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified
mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier service (such
as Federal Express) at the respective addresses of the parties for notices as
set forth in Section I.A.6. of this Lease, provided that if Tenant has vacated
the Premises or is in default of this Lease Landlord may serve Notice by any
manner permitted by Law. Any Notice under this Lease delivered by registered
or certified mail shall be deemed to have been given and effective on the
earlier of (a) the third day following the day on which the same shall have
been mailed with sufficient postage prepaid or (b) the delivery date indicated
on the return receipt. Notice sent by overnight courier service shall be
deemed given and effective upon the day after such notice is delivered to or
picked up by the overnight courier service. Either party may, at any time,
change its Notice Address by giving the other party Notice stating the change
and setting forth the new address.
XXXIII. LANDLORD'S LIEN. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

the arrangement and/or location of entrances of passageways, doors and
doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and public parts of the
Building; and J. to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business
or undertaking in the Building. Landlord, in accordance with Article XII
hereof, shall have the right to enter the Premises in connection with the
exercise of any of the rights set forth herein and such entry into the Premises
and the performance of any work therein shall not constitute a constructive
eviction or entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason
thereof.
102
20

this Lease or Tenant's right of possession hereunder, Tenant shall quit and
surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition

to Tenant, (a) be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and
title to such items shall pass to Landlord, and/or (b) be removed and/or stored

EXHIBIT B-2
PAYMENT OF BASIC COSTS
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease dated June 16,
1995 by and between ZML-Paces Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership ("Landlord"), by its agent Equity Office Properties, Inc., and The
Summit National Bank, a national banking association ("Tenant") for space in
the Building located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000.
BASIC COST ADJUSTMENT. During each calendar year, or portion thereof,
beginning with the 1996 calendar year falling within the Lease Term, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as Additional Base Rental hereunder the sum of (1)
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Taxes (hereinafter
defined) for the applicable calendar year exceed Taxes for the Base Year
(hereinafter defined) plus (2) Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any,
by which Expenses (hereinafter defined) for the applicable calendar year exceed
Expenses for the Base Year. For purposes hereof, the "Base Year" shall mean
the calendar year 1995. Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Taxes and
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Expenses shall be computed separate and
independent of each other prior to being added together to determine the
"Excess." In the event that Taxes and/or Expenses, as the case may be, in any
calendar year decrease below the amount of Taxes or Expenses for the Base Year,
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Taxes and/or Expenses, as the case may be, for such
calendar year shall be deemed to be $0, it being understood that Tenant shall
not be entitled to any credit or offset if Taxes and/or Expenses decrease below
the corresponding amount for The Base Year. Prior to the Commencement Date and
prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon
thereafter as practical, Landlord shall make a good faith estimate of the
Excess for the applicable calendar year. On or before the first day of each
month during such calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Base
Rental, a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share
of Landlord's estimate of the Excess. Landlord shall have the right from time
to time during any such calendar year to revise the estimate of the Excess for
such year and provide Tenant with a revised statement therefor, and thereafter
the amount Tenant shall pay each month shall be based upon such revised
estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Excess
by January 1 of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay a monthly
installment based on the previous year's estimate until such time as Landlord
provides Tenant with an estimate of the Excess for the current year. Upon
receipt of such current year's estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any
month during the current year with respect to which Tenant paid monthly
installments of Additional Base Rental based on the previous years estimate of
the Excess. Tenant shall pay Landlord for any underpayment upon demand. Any
overpayment shall, at Landlord's option, be refunded to Tenant or credited
against the installment of Additional Base Rental due for the month immediately
following the furnishing of such estimate. Any amounts paid by Tenant based on
any estimate shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph A below, when
actual Basic Costs are determined for such calendar year.
A. Basic Costs Reconciliation. As soon as is practical following the end
of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
statement of Landlord's actual Basic Costs and the actual Excess for the
previous calendar year. If for any calendar year the Additional Base Rental
collected for the prior year, as a result of Landlord's estimate of Basic
Costs, is in excess of Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of the Excess for such
prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment (or at
Landlord's option, apply such amount against Additional Base Rental due or to
become due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any
underpayment with respect to the prior year, whether or not the Lease has
terminated prior to receipt by Tenant of a statement for such underpayment, it
being understood that this clause shall survive the expiration of the Lease.
B. Definitions.
1. "Basic Costs" for any calendar year shall mean the
total, computed in accordance herewith, of Taxes for such
calendar year and Expenses for such calendar year.
2. "Expenses" shall mean all direct and indirect costs and
expenses paid or incurred in each calendar year in connection
with operating, maintaining, repairing, managing and owning the

on the Property, the Building or the Premises, and taxes and

such Improvements shall be performed in compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Lease, including, without limitation, the prior approval of
Landlord with respect to the Improvements to be performed and the contractors

any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith.

request, has installed a security monitoring system for Tenant's use in
addition to the base building Security System and that such monitoring system
has been installed solely for the benefit of Tenant.
4. OTHER BANKS IN BUILDING.

and provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord covenants not
to enter into a lease agreement for space in the Building (hereinafter defined)
with a Competitor (as hereinafter defined) for a term scheduled to commence
during the Term of this Lease. If Landlord enters into a lease for space

of this Lease, and Tenant is not in default under this Lease, then, in lieu of

defined); or (iv) Tenant's primary use is no longer the Subject Primary Use, at
which time the Substitute Rent Period shall end and Tenant shall again pay to
Landlord Base Rent as provided in Exhibit B, of this Lease. Any period in
which Tenant shall pay Substitute Rent shall be deemed a Substitute Rent
Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the
event that Landlord exercises its relocation right pursuant to Article XXVIII,
then the provisions of this Section 4 shall: (i) apply to the building in which
the Relocation Space is located as of the effective date of such relocation;
and (ii) cease to apply to the Building (as defined in this Section 4).

attached hereto as Exhibit F but shall not include any other buildings in the
complex commonly known as Paces West.

4. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of
the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, resist or
defend such action or proceeding with counsel approved by Landlord.
