obligations imposed upon Tenant by this Lease, nor any of the rights, remedies
or benefits afforded Landlord by this Lease are thereby impaired or diminished.
Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or more
sublettings of the Premises shall not operate to exhaust Landlord's rights under
this Article. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a
mutual cancellation hereof shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of
Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or shall
operate as an assignment to Landlord of such subleases or subtenancies. If
Tenant is a corporation or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the
transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such
corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty nine
percent (49%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of
this Article.
If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to
do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name of the proposed
subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed subtenant's or assignee's
business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the
proposed sublease or assignment; and (iv) such reasonable financial information
as Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee. Any
request for Landlord's approval of a sublease or assignment shall be accompanied
with a check in such reasonable amount as Landlord shall advise for the cost of
review and/or preparation of any documents relating to such proposed transfer
but in no event less than $250.00.
At any time within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of the
information specified above, and provided that Landlord approves of the
assignee, assignment or sublet, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect
to either (i) sublease the Premises or the portion thereof as shall be specified
in said notice for its own account upon the same terms as those offered to the
proposed subtenant or assignee, as the case may be; or (ii) terminate this Lease
as to the portion (including all) of the Premises so proposed to be subleased or
assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable hereunder. If
Landlord does not exercise either of these options within said fifteen-day
period, Tenant may thereafter within ninety (90) days after the expiration of
said fifteen-day period enter into a valid assignment or sublease of the
Premises or portion thereof, upon the terms and conditions described in the
information required to be furnished by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, or other
terms not less favorable to Tenant, subject, however, to Landlord's consent as
herein provided.
No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall
relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and perform all the other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of
any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment or subletting.

ARTICLE 13
MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION
Upon the written request of Landlord or of any lessor under a sale and
leaseback of the land and/or building in which the Premises are situated or of
any mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord, Tenant will from time to time in
writing subordinate its rights hereunder to the interest of any such lessor, as
well as to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter in force
against the land and building of which the Premises are a part or against any
buildings hereafter placed upon the land of which the Premises are a part, and
to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. Such
written subordination shall be executed and delivered to Landlord within ten
(10) days from Tenant's receipt of a request for the same. If Tenant fails to
execute and deliver such statement to Landlord within said ten-day period,
Landlord may, as attorney-in-fact of Tenant, coupled with an interest, execute
such statement for, and on behalf, and in the name of Tenant. If requested by
Landlord in writing, Tenant shall give similar certificates from time to time
during the term of this Lease in the manner hereinabove provided.
Tenant agrees to give any mortgagees and/or trust deed holders, by
registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord,
provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified, in writing, (by way
of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of
such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Tenant further agrees that if
Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in
this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default
cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary
if within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holders has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such
default, including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings,
if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be
terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.
Landlord agrees to obtain from its lender, if any, a non-disturbance
agreement in form acceptable to Landlord and the lender, providing that as long
as Tenant performs its obligations hereunder, no foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or trustee's sale shall affect Tenants rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed in this Lease,
Tenant agrees to amend or modify this Lease in any particulars as may be
reasonably required by any mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord so long as any
such amendments or modifications do not materially alter the substantive rights
of Tenant herein and so long as Landlord has agreed to the same.
ARTICLE 14
EMINENT DOMAIN
In the event the entire Premises shall be appropriated or taken under
the power of eminent domain this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date
of such taking.
In the event more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the square footage
of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain, or if by reason of
any appropriation or taking,
9
regardless of the amount so taken, the remainder of the Premises is not one
undivided parcel of property, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease as of the date Tenant is required to vacate a portion of
the Premises upon giving notice in writing of such election within thirty (30)
days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of written notice that said Premises
have been so appropriated or taken.
If neither Landlord or Tenant elects to so terminate this Lease, Tenant
shall remain in that portion of the Premises which shall not have been
appropriated or taken as herein provided, or in the event less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the square footage of the Premises shall be appropriated under
the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, and the
remainder thereof is an undivided parcel of property, then in either such event
Landlord agrees, at Landlord's cost and expense, as soon as reasonably possible
to restore the Premises on the land remaining to a complete unit of like quality
and character as existed prior to such taking; and thereafter the Minimum Rent
shall be reduced on an equitable basis, taking into account the relative value
of the portion taken as compared to the portion remaining.
All awards for the taking of any part of the Premises shall be the
property of Landlord, whether made as compensation for diminution of value of
the leasehold estate, for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages,
provided that Tenant shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to
Tenant's fixtures or removable personal property if the same is sought by Tenant
and is awarded separately.
For the purposes of this Article 14, a voluntary sale or conveyance in
lieu of condemnation shall be deemed an appropriation or taking under the power
of eminent domain.
ARTICLE 15
DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES
If the Premises be destroyed or damaged by fire or other perils to such
an extent that they cannot be repaired and restored within one hundred twenty
(120) days, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease; otherwise
Landlord shall forthwith and with due diligence, repair and restore said
building and Premises to substantially their condition immediately prior to such
damage or destruction. Tenant's Minimum Rent and other charges during the period
of such repair and restoration shall not xxxxx and Tenant shall promptly pay all
amounts coming due hereunder.
If the damage or destruction referred to in the preceding paragraph
amounts to at least 25% of the Premises and occurs during the last year of the
term of this Lease, then Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option, at the
election of either of them, to terminate this Lease effective as of the date of
such damage or destruction, and any unearned rents paid in advance shall be
refunded. If this Lease shall not be terminated as provided in this paragraph,
the Premises shall be repaired and restored as hereinabove provided.
In the event Landlord is either obligated or elects to repair and
restore the building and Premises, Landlord shall have the immediate right to
enter the Premises for such purpose.
10
ARTICLE 16
BANKRUPTCY - INSOLVENCY
Tenant agrees that in the event all or substantially all Tenant's
assets be placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership
continues for a period of thirty (30) days, or should Tenant make an assignment
for the benefit of creditors or be finally adjudicated a bankrupt, or should
Tenant institute any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act as the same now exists
or under any amendment thereof which may hereafter be enacted, or under any
other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy, wherein Tenant seeks to be
adjudicated a bankrupt or to be discharged of its debts or to effect a plan of
liquidation, composition of reorganization, or should any voluntary proceedings
be filed against Tenant under any such bankruptcy laws and such proceeding not
be removed within ninety (90) days thereafter, then this Lease or any interest
in and to the Premises shall not become an asset in any of such proceedings and,
in any such events and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Landlord
hereunder or by law provided, it shall be lawful for Landlord to declare the
term hereof ended and to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and
remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or
hereunder. The provisions of this Article 16 shall also apply to any Guarantor
of this Lease. In no event shall this Lease or any interest of the Tenant
therein be assigned or transferred by operation of law without the express
written consent of Landlord.
ARTICLE 17
DEFAULT RE-ENTRY REMEDIES
In the event of any breach of any of the terms of this Lease by Tenant,
then Landlord, besides other rights and remedies it may have under the laws in
force, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may move all persons and
property from the Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public
warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. Should
Landlord elect to re-enter or should it take possession pursuant to legal
proceedings it may either terminate this Lease or it may, without terminating
this Lease, re-let said Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and
at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to
said Premises. Rentals received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be
applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent due
hereunder; second, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; third, to
the payment of any cost of such re-letting; fourth, to the payment of the cost
of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; and the residue, if any, shall
be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become
due and payable hereunder. Should such rentals received from such re-letting
during any month be less than that agreed to be paid during that month by Tenant
hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly. Tenant
shall also pay as soon as ascertained the cost and expense incurred by Landlord
in such re-letting or in making such alterations and repairs. No such re-entry
or taking possession of said Premises shall be construed as an election on its
part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given
to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Landlord may
at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease in addition to any other
remedy it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by
reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Premises and
including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of
the amount or rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the
remainder
11
of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the
remainder of the stated term.
For the purposes of this Article 17, the rental agreed to be paid by
tenant or the amount of rental payable by Tenant shall be deemed to be the
Minimum Rental and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the
terms of this Lease. All such sums, other than the Minimum Rental, shall be
computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof, accruing during the
preceding term of the lease.
In the event of default, all Tenant's fixtures, furniture, equipment,
improvements, additions, alterations, and other personal property shall remain
on the Premises and in that event, and continuing during the length of said
default, Landlord shall have the right to take the exclusive possession of same
and to use same, rent or charge free, until all defaults are cured or, at its
option, at any time during the term of this Lease, to require Tenant to
forthwith remove same.
The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term herein contained shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of such term or any subsequent breach of the same
or any other term herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach of Tenant of
any term of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular
rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach
at the time of acceptance of such rent. No term of this Lease shall be deemed to
have been waived by Landlord unless such waivers shall be in writing.
ARTICLE 18
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
Tenant shall, upon expiration or termination of the term hereby
created, surrender the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises at
the place then fixed for payment of rent and shall inform Landlord of
combinations on any locks and safes on the Premises. At the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Landlord, within five days after written demand from Landlord to Tenant, any
quit-claim deed or other document required by a reputable title company to
remove the cloud of this Lease from the real property upon which the Premises
are situated.
ARTICLE 19
FOLDING OVER
If Tenant shall hold over after the term of this Lease, Tenant shall
become a tenant on a month-to-month basis upon all the terms, covenants and
conditions herein specified, but exclusive of any renewal options.
ARTICLE 20
FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
Any trade fixture, signs and other personal property of Tenant not
permanently affixed to the Premises shall remain the property of Tenant, and
Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the
12
right, provided Tenant be not in default under the terms of this Lease, at any
time, and from time to time, to remove any and all of its trade fixtures, signs
and other personal property which it may have stored or installed in the
Premises. Tenant at its expense shall immediately repair any damage occasioned
to the Premises by reason of the removal of any such trade fixtures, signs and
other personal property, and upon expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, shall leave the Premises in a neat and clean condition, free of debris.
All other improvements to the Premises by Tenant, including but not limited to
floor coverings, carpeting, and partitions, shall become the property of
Landlord upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 21
REIMBURSEMENT
All covenants and terms herein contained to be performed by Tenant
shall be performed by it at its expense, and if Landlord shall pay any sum of
money or do any act which required the payment of money by reason of the failure
of Tenant to perform such covenant or term, the sum or sums of money so paid
shall be considered as additional rental and shall be payable by Tenant on the
first of the month next succeeding such payment, together with interest at the
maximum contractual rate permitted by law.
ARTICLE 22
CONSENTS BY LANDLORD
Whenever under this Lease provision is made for Tenant to secure the
written consent or approval by Landlord, such consent or approval shall be in
writing and shall not be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE 23
NOTICES
Any notice required or permitted under this Lease shall be deemed
sufficiently given or served when sent by certified mail to Tenant at the
address of the leased Premises as set forth in Paragraph D of the Basic Lease
Provisions, and to Landlord at the address then fixed for payment of rent, and
either party may by like written notice at any time designate a different
address to which notices shall subsequently be sent.
ARTICLE 24
LITIGATION, COURT COSTS, ATTORNEY'S FEES
In the event at any time either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any
action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease,
or any default hereunder, then and in that event, the prevailing party in such
action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, which shall be deemed to have
accrued on the commencement of such action or proceeding and shall be
enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. In addition,
Landlord shall be entitled to all attorney's fees and all other costs incurred
in the preparation and service of any notice or demand hereunder, whether or not
a legal action is subsequently commenced. The parties waive trial by jury in any
action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other
on any matters whatsoever arising under this Lease. This Lease shall be
construed in accordance with
13
the laws of the State of Arizona and the proper venue for any legal action shall
be Maricopa County, Arizona.
ARTICLE 25
SALE OF PREMISES BY LANDLORD OR RE-LEASING
In the event of any sale or exchange of the Premises by Landlord and
assignment by Landlord of this Lease, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely
relieved of all liability under all of its covenants and obligations contained
in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission
relating to the Premises or this Lease occurring after the consummation of such
sale or exchange and assignment. Landlord and its authorized agents and
representatives shall be entitled to enter the Premises at all reasonable times
for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective purchasers and, during the
final six (6) months of the term and any extension or renewal of the term
hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to exhibit the Premises for hire and/or for
sale and to display thereon in such manner as will not unreasonably interfere
with Tenant's business the usual "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs, and such signs
shall remain unmolested on the Premises.
ARTICLE 26
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant will, on or before __________________, 1994, deposit with
Landlord the sum, if any, set forth in Paragraph I of the Basic Lease Provisions
as "Security Deposit." Said deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability
for interest as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms
of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to commingle said security deposit
with its other funds.
If any of the rent or any other sum payable by Tenant should be overdue
and unpaid or if Landlord should make payments on behalf of Tenant, or if Tenant
should fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its
option and without prejudice to any other remedy appropriate and apply said
deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the
payment of rent or Additional Charges or loss or damage sustained by Landlord
due to such breach on the part of Tenant; and Tenant shall upon demand restore
said security to the original sum deposited. Should Tenant comply with all of
the terms of this Lease, said deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned
to Tenant or, at the option of Landlord, to the last assignee of Tenant's
interest in this Lease at the expiration of the lease term.
ARTICLE 27
NO PERSONAL LIABILITY TO LANDLORD
Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's interest in the Premises for the
satisfaction of any judgment or decree requiring the payment of money by
Landlord based upon any default under this Lease, and no other property or
assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement
procedures or satisfaction of any such judgment or decree.

Tenant hereby consents to any and all conveyances or grants of
easements upon the Premises which Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary
in order to adequately provide utilities to, or ingress and egress from, the
Premises.
ARTICLE 29
PARTIAL INVALIDITY
If any provision of this Lease is determined to be void by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not attest any other provision
of this Lease and such other provision shall remain in full force and effect. If
any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would
render the provision void and one of which would render the provision valid, the
provision shall be interpreted in the manner which would render it valid.
ARTICLE 30
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Tenant shall, within five (5) days of Landlord's written request,

by such writings as shall be stated); that all conditions under this Lease to be
performed by Landlord have been satisfied; that there are no defenses or offsets
against the enforcement of this Lease by the Landlord, or stating those claimed
by Tenant; the amount of advance rental, if any, (or none if such is the case)
paid by Tenant the date to which rental has been paid; and the amount of
security deposited with Landlord. Such declaration shall be executed and
delivered by Tenant from time to time as may be requested by Landlord.
Landlord's mortgage lenders and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon
same. Tenant's failure to deliver such declaration within the time permitted
hereby shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and
effect, except to the extent any modification has been represented by Landlord,
and that there are no incurred defaults in Landlord's performance, and that not
more than one month's rent has been paid in advance.
ARTICLE 31
LATE PAYMENT CHARGE
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late payment charge in the amount of
$25.00 per day for each and every day any amount remains due and payable to
Landlord hereunder commencing on the fifth day after any such amount first
becomes due and payable; provided, however, the delay in imposition of the late
payment charge shall not be construed as extending the date on which sums become
due and payable hereunder, nor as extending the date on which a default shall be
deemed to have occurred by its failure to pay sums due to Landlord hereunder.
15
ARTICLE 32
