ARTICLE 2. PREMISES/RIGHT TO USE COMMON AREAS
2.1 Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises,
for and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Lease.
This Lease is subject to all liens, encumbrances, parking and access
easements, restrictions, covenants, and all other matters of record,
the Rules and Regulations described in ARTICLE 14 and the Parking Rules
and Regulations described in ARTICLE 6. Tenant and Tenant's agents,
contractors, customers, directors, employees, invitees, officers, and
patrons (collectively, the "TENANT'S PERMITTEES") have a non-exclusive
privilege and license, during the Lease Term, to use the non-restricted
Common Areas in common with all other authorized users thereof.
2.2 For purposes of this Lease, the following terms have the definitions
set forth below:
(a) "AUTOMOBILE PARKING AREAS" means all areas designated for
automobile parking upon the land in the Project. Automobile
Parking Areas are Common Areas, but certain parking areas are
restricted. (See Parking Rules & Regulations).
(b) "COMMON AREAS" means those areas within the Building and Land
not leased to any tenant and which are intended by Landlord to
be available for the use, benefit, and enjoyment of all
occupants of the Building.
(c) "INTERIOR COMMON FACILITIES" means lobbies, corridors,
hallways, elevator foyers, restrooms, mail rooms, mechanical
and electrical rooms, janitor closets, and other similar
facilities used by tenants or for the benefit of tenants on a
non-exclusive basis. Access to certain Interior Common
Facilities is restricted.
(d) "PROJECT" means the Building and the parcel(s) of land
containing said Building.
(e) "RENTABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE" means (1) with respect to the
Building, the sum of the total area of all floors in the
Building (including Interior Common Facilities but excluding
stairs, elevator shafts, vertical shafts, parking areas and
exterior balconies), computed by measuring to the exterior
surface of permanent outside walls; and (2) with respect to
the Premises, the area of the Premises (or other space
occupiable by tenants as the case may be) computed by
measuring to the exterior surface of permanent outside walls,
to the midpoint of corridor and demising walls and to the
Tenant side of permanent interior walls and Interior Common
Facilities walls (other than corridor walls).
(f) "TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE" 5.093%, which is the percentage
obtained by dividing (a) the number of Rentable Square Feet in
the Premises as stated above by (b) the Rentable Square Feet
in the Building at the time a respective charge was incurred,
which at the time of execution of this Lease is 95,744
Rentable Square Feet. Landlord and Tenant stipulate that the
number of Rentable
2
Square Feet in the Premises and in the Building set forth
above is conclusive as to the square footage in existence on
the date of this Lease and shall be binding upon them.
ARTICLE 3. TERM
The term of this Lease and the Commencement Date shall be as specified in
SECTION 1.1. Landlord shall provide the Premises per the attached space plan
(EXHIBIT "A") on or before the Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant presently
anticipate that possession of the Premises will be tendered to Tenant in the
condition required by this Lease on or about July 27, 2005 (the "ESTIMATED
DELIVERY DATE"). If there are delays, which delays are not caused by Tenant, and
the Premises are not substantially complete enough that Tenant can reasonably
take occupancy of the Premises on or before the Estimated Delivery Date,
Landlord shall not be deemed in default of the Lease, Tenant shall accept
possession of the Premises when Landlord tenders possession thereof to Tenant,
and the parties agree to amend the Commencement Date and Rent (as defined
herein) schedule, accordingly. Subject to force majeure and Tenant Delay Days,
if the Premises are not substantially complete enough that Tenant can reasonably
take occupancy of them within 90 days after the scheduled Commencement Date,
Tenant's sole remedies shall be to either enter into a mutually acceptable
revision of the appropriate terms of the Lease with Landlord, or to cancel the
Lease with ten (10) days written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if said delays are caused by Tenant, then the Lease, and all of the
obligations therein, shall commence on the Commencement Date. By occupying the
Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in their
condition as of the date of such occupancy, subject to the performance of
punch-list items that remain to be performed by Landlord, if any. Prior to
occupying the Premises, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a letter
substantially in the form of EXHIBIT E hereto confirming: (1) the Commencement
Date (as defined in the Basic Lease Information) and the expiration date of the
initial Term (as defined in the Basic Lease Information); (2) that Tenant has
accepted the Premises; and (3) that Landlord has performed all of its
obligations with respect to the Premises (except for punch-list items specified
in such letter); however, the failure of the parties to execute such letter
shall not defer the Commencement Date or otherwise invalidate this Lease.
Tenant's failure to execute such document within ten (10) days of receipt
thereof from Landlord shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease and shall be
deemed Tenant's agreement to the contents of such document. Occupancy of the
Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date ("EARLY OCCUPANCY") shall be
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, including the payment of Minimum
Monthly Rent prorated on a per diem basis for each day of Early Occupancy.
ARTICLE 4. MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without deduction, setoff, prior notice, or
demand, the Minimum Monthly Rent, payable in advance on the first day of each
calendar month during the Lease Term. The obligations of Tenant to pay Minimum
Monthly Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under
this Lease are independent obligations. The Seventh (7th) monthly installment of
Minimum Monthly Rent shall be payable contemporaneously with the execution of
this Lease; thereafter, Minimum Monthly Rent shall be payable on the first (1st)
day of each month beginning on the first (1st) day of the eighth (8th) full
calendar month of the Term. If the Lease Term commences on a date other than the
first day of a calendar month, the Minimum Monthly Rent for that month shall be
prorated on a per diem basis and be paid to Landlord on or before the
Commencement Date.
ARTICLE 5. ADDITIONAL RENT
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent each year Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs during each Operating Year of the Lease Term
("OPERATING COST RENT"). Landlord may make a good faith estimate of the
Operating Cost Rent to be due by Tenant for any Operating year or part thereof
during the Lease Term. During each Operating Year or partial Operating Year of
the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance concurrently with each
monthly installment of Minimum Monthly Rent, an amount equal to the estimated
Operating Cost Rent for such Operating Year or part thereof divided by the
number of months therein. From time to time, Landlord may estimate and
re-estimate the Operating Cost Rent to be due by Tenant and deliver a copy of
the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of
Operating Cost Rent payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in
accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the Operating Year in
question, Tenant shall have paid all of the Operating Cost Rent as estimated by
Landlord. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to
adjustment as herein provided when actual Operating Costs are available for each
Operating Year. In the event the Building is not fully occupied during any
Operating Year, an adjustment shall be made by Landlord in calculating the
Operating Costs for such Operating Year so that the Operating Costs shall be
adjusted to the amount that would have been incurred had the Building been
occupied to the extent of 95% during such Operating Year. By May 1 of each
Operating Year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to
Tenant a statement of Operating Costs for the previous year, adjusted as
provided above (the "Operating Costs Statement"). If Tenant's payments of
estimated Operating Cost Rent for the year covered by the Operating Costs
Statement exceed Tenant's Proportionate Share of such items as indicated in the
Operating Costs Statement, then Landlord shall promptly credit or reimburse
Tenant for such excess; likewise, if Tenant's estimated payments of Operating
Costs for such year are less than Tenant's share of such items as indicated in
the Operating Costs Statement, then Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord such
deficiency, notwithstanding that the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
Premises. For purposes of this Lease (a) "OPERATING COSTS" means and includes
all costs of management, maintenance, and operation of the Project, including
but not limited to the costs of cleaning, repairs, utilities, air conditioning,
heating, plumbing, elevator, parking, landscaping, insurance, property taxes and
special assessments, and all other costs which can properly be considered
operating expenses but excluding costs of property additions, alterations for
tenants, leasing commissions, advertising, depreciation, interest, income taxes
and administrative costs not specifically incurred in the management,
maintenance and operation of the Project; and (b) "OPERATING YEAR" means a year
beginning January 1 and ending December 31. Tenants with leases expiring or
3
terminating prior to the end of the Operating Year shall be responsible for
their portion of Operating Costs based on Landlord's estimate of Operating
Costs.
ARTICLE 6. PARKING
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create liability upon Landlord for
any damage to motor vehicles of Tenant's Permittees, or from loss of property
from within such motor vehicles while parked in the Automobile Parking Areas.
Landlord has the right to establish and to enforce against all users of the
Automobile Parking Areas, reasonable rules and regulations (the "PARKING RULES
AND REGULATIONS"). Landlord shall assign and identify Reserved Parking Spaces.
Landlord will not police nor be responsible for any vehicle parked in Tenant's
reserved parking space.
ARTICLE 7. RENT TAX AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to, and simultaneously with, any other
amounts payable to Landlord under this Lease, a sum equal to the aggregate of
any municipal, county, state, or federal excise, sales, use, or transaction
privilege taxes now or hereafter legally levied or imposed against, or on
account of, any amounts payable under this Lease by Tenant or the receipt
thereof by Landlord (collectively, "RENT TAX"). Tenant shall pay, prior to
delinquency, all taxes levied upon fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and
personal property placed on the Premises by Tenant.
ARTICLE 8. PAYMENT OF RENT/LATE CHARGES/INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS
Tenant shall pay the rent and all other charges specified in this Lease to
Landlord at the address set forth on SECTION 1.1 of this Lease, or to another
person and at another address as Landlord from time to time designates in
writing. All monetary obligations of Tenant, including Minimum Monthly Rent,
additional rent, or other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms
of this Lease shall be deemed "RENT", and any Rent not received within ten (10)
days after the due date (the "DELINQUENCY DATE") thereof shall automatically
(and without notice) incur a late charge of five percent (5%) of the delinquent
amount. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Rent due to Landlord not paid
when due shall bear interest, from the date due, at the maximum rate then
allowable by law or judgments. Payment of such interest shall in no way excuse
or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that interest
shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant.
ARTICLE 9. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant shall, upon execution of this Lease, deposit with Landlord the Security
Deposit, as security for the performance of terms and provisions of this Lease
by Tenant, which shall be returned to Tenant within the time period required by
law if it has discharged its obligations to Landlord in full. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred within the prior twelve
(12) calendar months of the Term, Landlord agrees to return $6,665.00 of the
Security Deposit to Tenant: (a) on the first (1st) anniversary of the
Commencement Date; and (b) on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Commencement
Date. The Security Deposit shall not be used to pay the last month's lease
payment. Unless required otherwise by applicable law, the Security Deposit may
be commingled with other funds, and no interest shall be paid thereon.
ARTICLE 10. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES
Except as otherwise set forth on EXHIBIT D, if any, attached hereto, Landlord
shall construct Tenant's leasehold improvements in accordance with plans and
specifications prepared by Landlord's architect. Prior to the Commencement Date,
any work performed by Tenant or any fixtures or personal property moved onto the
Premises shall be at Tenant's own risk, Tenant's entry onto the Premises shall
be subject to all provisions of the Lease (other than the payment of Minimum
Monthly Rent and additional rent) and neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents or
contractors shall be responsible to Tenant for damage or destruction of Tenant's
property.
ARTICLE 11. ALTERATIONS
After completion of Landlord's construction obligations under ARTICLE 10, Tenant
shall not make or cause to be made any further additions, alterations,
improvements, Utility Installations or repairs in, on or about the Premises, the
Building or the Project without the prior written consent of Landlord. As used
in this Article, the term "UTILITY INSTALLATION" shall mean carpeting, window
and wall coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, air conditioning, plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring
and equipment. At the expiration of the term, Landlord may require the removal
of any and all of said additions, alterations, improvements or Utility
Installations, and the restoration of the Premises, Building and Project to
their prior condition, at Tenant's expense. Should Landlord permit Tenant to
make its own additions, alterations, improvements or Utility Installations,
Tenant may only use such contractor as has been expressly approved by Landlord,
and Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times
the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Landlord against any
liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the
work. Should Tenant make any additions, alterations, improvements or Utility
Installations without the prior approval of Landlord, or use a contractor not
expressly approved by Landlord, Landlord may, at any time during the Lease Term,
require that Tenant remove any part or all of the same. All additions,
alterations, improvements and Utility Installations (whether or not such Utility
Installations constitute trade fixtures of Tenant), which may be made to the
Premises by Tenant, including but not limited to, floor coverings, panelings,
doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings, sound attenuation, and lighting and
telephone or communication systems, conduit, wiring and outlets, shall be made
and done in a good and
4
workmanlike manner and of good and sufficient quality and materials and shall be
the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at
the expiration of the Lease Term, unless Landlord requires their removal as
described above. Provided Tenant is not in default, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article, Tenant's personal property and equipment, other than
that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without
material damage to the Premises or Building or Project, and other than Utility
Installations, shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant
as provided herein. Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built plans and
specifications for any additions, alterations, improvements or Utility
Installations.
ARTICLE 12. PERSONAL PROPERTY/SURRENDER OF PREMISES
All personal property located in the Premises shall remain the property of
Tenant and may be removed by Tenant not later than the Expiration Date or the
earlier termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall promptly repair, at its own
expense, any damage resulting from such removal. All cabinetry, built-in
appliances, wall coverings, floor coverings, window coverings, electrical
fixtures, plumbing fixtures, conduits, lighting, and other special fixtures that
may be placed upon, installed in, or attached to the Premises by Tenant shall,
at the termination of this Lease be the property of Landlord unless Landlord
requires its removal as set forth in ARTICLE 11. At the Expiration Date or upon
the earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises
in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall deliver all keys
to Landlord.
ARTICLE 13. LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Premises, Building, and the Project free from any liens
arising out of work performed, material furnished, or obligations incurred due
to the actions of Tenant or Tenant's Permittees or the failure of Tenant to
comply with any law. In the event any such lien does attach against the
Premises, Building, or Project, and Tenant does not discharge the lien or post
bond (which under law would prevent foreclosure or execution under the lien)
within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, such event shall be a default by
Tenant under this Lease and, in addition to Landlord's other rights and
remedies, Landlord may take any action necessary to discharge the lien at
Tenant's expense.
ARTICLE 14. USE OF PREMISES/RULES AND REGULATIONS
14.1 Without the prior approval of Landlord, Tenant shall not use the
Premises for any use other than for general business office purposes
(the "PERMITTED USE") and Tenant agrees that it will use the Premises
in such manner as to not interfere with or infringe on the rights of
other tenants in the Building or Project. Tenant agrees to comply with
all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations in connection with its
use of the Premises, agrees to keep the Premises in a clean and
sanitary condition, and agrees not to perform any act in the Building
which would increase any insurance premiums related to the Building or
Project or would cause the cancellation of any insurance policies
related to the Building or Project. Tenant shall not use, generate,
manufacture, store, or dispose of, in, under, or about the Premises,
the Building, the or the Project or transport to or from the Premises,
the Building, the or the Project, any Hazardous Materials. For purposes
of this Lease, "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS" includes, but is not limited to:
(i) flammable, explosive, or radioactive materials, hazardous wastes,
toxic substances, or related materials; (ii) all substances defined as
"hazardous substances," "hazardous materials," "toxic substances," or

Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. ss. 9601, et seq., as amended by Superfund
Amendments and Re-authorization Act of 1986; the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. ss. 1901, et seq.; the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 6901, et seq.; the Toxic
Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. ss. 2601, et seq.; (iii) those
substances listed in the United States Department of Transportation
Table (49 CFR 172.10 and amendments thereto) or by the Environmental
Protection Agency (or any successor agent) as hazardous substances (40
CFR Part 302 and amendments thereto); (iv) any material, waste, or
substance which is (A) petroleum, (B) asbestos, (C) polychlorinated
biphenyl's, (D) designated as a "hazardous substance" pursuant to ss.
311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. S 1251 et seq. (33 U.S.C. ss.
1321) or listed pursuant to the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. ss. 1317);
(E) flammable explosives; or (F) radioactive materials; and (v) all
substances defined as "hazardous wastes" in the statutes of the state
in which the Premises are located.
14.2 Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building
which are attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landlord may, from time to
time, change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or
cleanliness of the Building and related facilities, provided that such
changes are applicable to all tenants of the Building, will not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises and are
enforced by Landlord in a non-discriminatory manner. Tenant shall be
responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by any
assignees claiming by, through, or under Tenant; any subtenants
claiming by, through, or under Tenant; and any of their respective
agents, contractors, employees, and invitees.
ARTICLE 15. RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD
In addition to all other rights, Landlord has the following rights, exercisable
without notice to Tenant and without effecting an eviction, constructive or
actual, and without giving right to any claim for set off or abatement of rent:
(a) to decorate and to make repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or
improvements in and about the Building during Building Hours (b) to approve the
weight, size, and location of heavy objects in and about the Premises and the
Building, and to require all such items to be moved into and out of the Building
and Premises in such manner as Landlord shall direct in writing; (c) to prohibit
the placing of vending machines in or about the Premises without the prior
written consent of Landlord; (d) to take all such reasonable measures for the
security of the Building and its occupants (provided that Landlord shall have no
obligation to provide any such security unless required by law);
5
(e) to relocate the Premises to another location of substantially equivalent
size and location in the Building provided such relocation does not increase the
Minimum Monthly Rent or other costs payable by Tenant under this Lease. If
Landlord elects to move Tenant, the suite into which Tenant is re-located shall
have substantially similar leasehold improvements as were in the original
Premises and Landlord will pay Tenant's reasonable costs of moving to the new
location, including incidental costs such as reprinting existing stock of
stationery and new Signage, but Landlord will have no other liability to Tenant
with respect to relocation and (f) to temporarily block off parking spaces for
maintenance or construction purposes.
ARTICLE 16. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord agrees that, provided a default by Tenant has not occurred, Landlord
will do nothing that will prevent Tenant from quietly enjoying and occupying the
Premises during the Lease Term. Tenant agrees this Lease is subordinate to the
Rules and Regulations described in ARTICLE 14, and the Parking Rules and
Regulations described in ARTICLE 6.
ARTICLE 17. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
17.1 Landlord shall, subject to reimbursement for Operating Costs, keep and
maintain in good repair and working order, subject to reasonable wear
and tear: (1) structural elements of the Building; (2) standard
mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety
systems serving the Building generally, together with air filters
provided by Landlord for the HVAC serving the Premises, if any and
standard light fixtures provided by Landlord to the Premises, if any;
(3) Common Areas; (4) the roof of the Building; (5) exterior windows of
the Building; and (6) elevators serving the Building, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. Tenant waives all rights to make repairs at the
expense of Landlord. If Landlord would be required to perform any
maintenance or make any repairs because of: (a) modifications to the
roof, walls, foundation, and floor of the Building from that set forth
in Landlord's plans and specifications which are required by Tenant's
design for improvements, alterations and additions; (b) installation of
Tenant's improvements, fixtures, or equipment; (c) a negligent or
wrongful act of Tenant or Tenant's Permittees; or, (d) Tenant's failure
to perform any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Landlord may
perform the maintenance or repairs and Tenant shall pay Landlord the
cost thereof.
17.2 Tenant agrees to: (a) pay Landlord's cost of maintenance and repair,
including additional janitorial costs of any non-building standard
improvements and non-building standard materials and finishes as
additional rent hereunder; (b) repair or replace all ceiling and wall
finishes (including painting) and floor or window coverings which
require repair or replacement during the Lease Term, at Tenant's sole
cost; and (c) at Tenant's sole cost, maintain and repair interior
partitions; doors; electronic, phone and data cabling and related
equipment that is installed by or for the benefit of Tenant and located
in the Premises or other portions of the Building or Project;
supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens,
including hot water heaters, plumbing, dishwashers, ice machines and
similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively; phone rooms used
exclusively by Tenant; alterations performed by contractors retained by
or on behalf of Tenant; and all of Tenant's furnishings, trade
fixtures, equipment and inventory. It is generally understood that mold
spores are present essentially everywhere and that mold can grow in
most any moist location. Emphasis is properly placed on prevention of
moisture and on good housekeeping and ventilation practices. Tenant
acknowledges the necessity of housekeeping, ventilation, and moisture
control (especially in kitchens, janitor's closets, bathrooms, break
rooms and around outside walls) for mold prevention. In signing this
Lease, Tenant has first inspected the Premises and certifies that it
has not observed mold, mildew or moisture within the Premises. Tenant
agrees to immediately notify Landlord if it observes mold/mildew and/or
moisture conditions (from any source, including leaks), and allow
Landlord to evaluate and make recommendations and/or take appropriate
corrective action. Tenant relieves Landlord from any liability for any
bodily injury or damages to property caused by or associated with
moisture or the growth of or occurrence of mold or mildew on the
Premises. In addition, execution of this Lease constitutes
acknowledgement by Tenant that control of moisture and mold prevention
are integral to its Lease obligations.
17.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, to the extent
the terms and provisions of ARTICLE 22 conflict with, or are
inconsistent with, the terms and provisions of this ARTICLE 17, the
terms and provisions of ARTICLE 22 shall control. Tenant shall take all
reasonable precautions to insure that the Premises are not subjected to
excessive wear and tear, i.e. chair pads should be utilized by Tenant
to protect carpeting. Tenant shall be responsible for touch-up painting
in the Premises throughout the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 18. UTILITIES AND JANITORIAL SERVICES
Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises during normal Building Hours as
defined in SECTION 1.1, and subject to the Rules and Regulations, electricity
suitable for general office use of the Premises, heat and air conditioning
required in Landlord's judgment for normal use and occupation of the Premises,
and during such hours as determined by Landlord, janitorial services for the
Premises and Common Areas. Landlord further agrees to furnish hot and cold water
to those areas provided for general use of all tenants in the Building. Landlord
will use diligent efforts to provide continuous elevator service for the
Building. If Tenant shall require electric current, water, heating, cooling, or
air outside of normal Building Hours which will result in excess consumption of
such utilities or services, Tenant shall first obtain the written consent of
Landlord to the use thereof. If, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, Tenant
consumes any utilities or services in excess of the normal consumption of such
utilities and services for general office use, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for
the cost of such excess consumption of utilities or services as additional rent,
upon receipt of a statement of such costs from Landlord, at the same time as
payment of
6
the Minimum Monthly Rent is made. Landlord shall have the right to install
separate electrical meters, at Landlord's expense, to measure excess consumption
or establish another basis for determining the amount of excess consumption of
electrical current. Further, Landlord shall have the right to install electronic
HVAC over-time hour meters for Tenant's convenience. These meters shall be used,
in part, by Landlord to determine Tenant's excess HVAC consumption for purposes
of billing Tenant for such excess charges. If Tenant desires HVAC at a time
other than Building Hours: (i) Tenant shall give Landlord such prior notice as
Landlord shall from time to time establish as appropriate of Tenant's desired
use; (ii) Landlord shall supply such after-hours HVAC to Tenant at such hourly
costs to Tenant as Landlord shall from time to time establish; and (iii) Tenant
shall pay such cost as additional rent within ten (10) days after billing.
Landlord shall not be liable for damages nor shall rent or other charges xxxxx
in the event of any failure or interruption of any utility or service supplied
to the Premises, Building or Project by a regulated utility or municipality, or
any failure of a Building system supplying any such service to the Premises
(provided Landlord uses diligent efforts to repair or restore the same) and no
such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to xxxxx rent or terminate
this Lease.
ARTICLE 19. ENTRY AND INSPECTION
Landlord shall have the right to enter into the Premises at reasonable times for
the purpose of inspecting the Premises and reserves the right, during the last
three months of the term of the Lease, to show the Premises at reasonable times
to prospective tenants. Landlord shall be permitted to take any action under
this Article without causing any abatement of rent or liability to Tenant for
any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, nor shall such action
by Landlord be deemed an actual or constructive eviction.
ARTICLE 20. ACCEPTANCE OF THE PREMISES/LIABILITY INSURANCE
20.1 All personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant shall be placed
and remain on the Premises at Tenant's sole risk. Upon taking
possession of the Premises and thereafter during the Lease Term, the
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain insurance
coverage with limits not less than the following: (a) Worker's
Compensation Insurance, minimum limit as defined by applicable laws;
(b) Employer's Liability Insurance, minimum limit $1,000,000; (c)
Commercial General Liability Insurance, Bodily Injury/Property, Damage
Insurance (including the following coverages:
Premises/Operations, Independent Contractors, Broad Form Contractual in
support of the indemnification obligations of Tenant under this Lease,
and Bodily and Personal Injury Liability), minimum combined single
limit $1,000,000; and (d) Automobile Liability Insurance, minimum limit
$1,000,000. All such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation in
favor of Landlord and shall name Landlord and such other party or
parties as Landlord may require as additional insureds. Tenant's
insurance shall be primary, with any insurance maintained by Landlord
to be considered excess. Tenant's insurance shall be maintained with an
insurance company qualified to do business in the state in which the
Premises are located and having a current A.M. Best manual rating of at
least A-X or better. Before entry into the Premises and before
expiration of any policy, evidence of these coverages represented by
Certificates of Insurance issued by the insurance carrier must be
furnished to Landlord. Certificates of Insurance should specify the
additional insured status, the waiver of subrogation, and that such
insurance is primary, and any insurance by Landlord is excess. The
Certificate of Insurance shall state that Landlord will be notified in
writing thirty (30) days before cancellation, material change, or
non-renewal of insurance.
20.2 During the entire Lease Term, Landlord agrees to maintain public
liability insurance in such forms and amounts as Landlord shall
determine. The cost of the insurance obtained under this SECTION 20.2
shall be an Operating Cost under ARTICLE 5 of this Lease.
ARTICLE 21. CASUALTY INSURANCE
21.1 Tenant shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance (full
replacement value) with a business interruption and extra expense
endorsements, on personal property and trade fixtures owned or used by
Tenant.
21.2 Landlord shall maintain property insurance for the Building's
replacement value, less a commercially reasonable deductible if
Landlord so chooses including endorsements as determined by Landlord
throughout the Lease Term on the Building (excluding Tenant's trade
fixtures and personal property). At Landlord's option, the policy of
insurance may include a business interruption insurance endorsement for
loss of rents. The cost of the insurance obtained under this SECTION
21.2 shall be an Operating Cost under ARTICLE 5 of this Lease.
ARTICLE 22. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES
22.1 If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty
(a "CASUALTY"), Landlord shall use good faith efforts to deliver to
Tenant within sixty (60) days after such Casualty a good faith estimate
(the "DAMAGE NOTICE") of the time needed to repair the damage caused by
such Casualty.
22.2 If a material portion of the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that
Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a
manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such
Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot
be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement
of repairs (the "REPAIR PERIOD"), then Tenant may terminate this
7
Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to
terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been
delivered to Tenant.
22.3 If a Casualty damages the Premises or a material portion of the
Building and: (1) Landlord estimates that the damage to the Premises
cannot be repaired within the Repair Period; (2) the damage to the
Premises exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof
(excluding foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and
such damage occurs during the last two (2) years of the Term; (3)
regardless of the extent of damage to the Premises, Landlord makes a
good faith determination that restoring the Building would be
uneconomical; or (4) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds
arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord's Mortgagee, then Landlord
may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to
terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been
delivered to Tenant.
22.4 If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty,
then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty,
begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable
diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition
as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, other than
building standard leasehold improvements Landlord shall not be required
to repair or replace any Alterations or betterments within the Premises
(which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored
by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense) or any furniture,
equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in
the Premises or the Building, and Landlord's obligation to repair or
restore the Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance
proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question. If
this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this ARTICLE 22,
Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the insurance
policies providing coverage for all alterations, improvements and
betterments in the Premises (and, if Tenant has failed to maintain
insurance on such items as required by this Lease, Tenant shall pay
Landlord an amount equal to the proceeds Landlord would have received
had Tenant maintained insurance on such items as required by this
Lease).
22.5 If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, Rent for the portion of the
Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a
reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of
Landlord's repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by
Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be), unless
Tenant or a Tenant Permitee caused such damage, in which case, Tenant
shall continue to pay Minimum Monthly Rent and all other rent without
abatement and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and
expense of the repair and restoration of the Premises or the Building
caused thereby to the extent that costs and expense is not covered by
insurance proceeds.
ARTICLE 23. EMINENT DOMAIN
23.1 If the entire Building or Premises are taken by right of eminent domain
or conveyed in lieu thereof (a "TAKING"), this Lease shall terminate as
of the date of the Taking.
23.2 If any part of the Building becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking
will prevent Tenant from conducting its business in the Premises in a
manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such
Taking for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days, then
Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving
written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking,
and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Tenant
does not terminate this Lease, then Rent shall be abated on a
reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered
untenantable by the Taking.
23.3 If any material portion, but less than all, of the Building becomes
subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the
proceeds arising from a Taking to a Landlord's Mortgagee, then Landlord
may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after such Taking, and Rent shall be
apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Landlord does not so
terminate this Lease, then this Lease will continue, but if any portion
of the Premises has been taken, Rent shall xxxxx as provided in SECTION
22.5.
23.4 If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or
other compensation for the Land, the Building, and other improvements
taken; however, Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it
will not reduce Landlord's award) against the condemnor for the value
of Tenant's personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove under
this Lease, moving costs, loss of business, and other claims it may
have.
ARTICLE 24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant agrees not to assign, mortgage, or pledge this Lease, and shall not
sublet the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as
provided herein. Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord's consent shall
not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee's
financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building
tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee's use
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 another tenant's
rights; (3) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency or occupant of the
Project; (4) Tenant is in default after the expiration of the notice and cure
periods in this Lease; or (5) any portion of the Premises or Building would
likely become subject to additional or different laws as a consequence of the
proposed assignment or subletting. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any
monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its
consent to a proposed sublease or assignment and Tenant's sole remedy shall be
an action to enforce any provision through specific performance or declaratory
judgment. Any attempted sublease or
8
assignment in violation of this Article shall, at Landlord's option, be void.
Consent by Landlord to one or more subleases or assignments shall not operate as
a waiver of Landlord's rights to approve any subsequent subleases or
assignments. Any assignment or subletting hereunder shall not release or
discharge Tenant of or from any liability under this Lease, and Tenant shall
continue to be fully liable thereunder. As part of its request for Landlord's
consent to a sublease or assignment, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
financial statements for the proposed transferee, a complete copy of the
proposed sublease, assignment and other contractual documents and such other
information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall, by written
notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the required
information and documentation, either: (1) consent to the sublease or assignment
by the execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by
Landlord or reasonably refuse to consent to the sublease or assignment in
writing; or (2) exercise its right to terminate this Lease with respect to the
portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to sublease or assign. Any such
termination shall be effective on the proposed effective date the sublease or
assignment for which Tenant requested consent. If Tenant shall assign or sublet
the Lease or request the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting or
if Tenant shall request the consent of Landlord for any act Tenant proposes to
do, then Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other
consultants' fees, which fee shall be no less than $500.00. Consent by Landlord
to one assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by another person shall not be
deemed to be consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation, or
use by another person. Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of all rent and
other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a sublease or
assignment that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of
the Premises and Lease Term covered by the sublease or assignment. Tenant shall
pay Landlord for Landlord's share of any excess within thirty (30) days after
Tenant's receipt of such excess consideration. Tenant may deduct from the excess
all reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable
to the sublease or assignment (other than Landlord's costs and expenses),
including brokerage fees, legal fees and construction costs. If Tenant is a
corporation, an unincorporated association or a partnership, unless listed on a
national stock exchange, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock
or interest in such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in
excess of fifty percent (50%) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.
Tenant agrees to immediately notify Landlord in writing of any change in its
ownership. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 24 to the contrary, Tenant
may assign or sublease all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part
of the Premises (a "Permitted Transfer") to the following types of entities (a
"Permitted Transferee") without the written consent of Landlord: (a) any person
or entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries,
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant (an
"AFFILIATE"); (b) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability
partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with
which Tenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated,
in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and
consolidation of business entities, so long as (i) Tenant's obligations
hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such
consolidation; and (ii) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created
entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date of
execution of this Lease; or (c) any corporation, limited partnership, limited
liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity
acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant's assets if such entity's Tangible
Net Worth after such acquisition is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of
Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer. Tenant shall remain liable for the
performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no
longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving
or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing the obligations of Tenant
hereunder. Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the
terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use, and the use of
the Premises by the Permitted Transferee may not violate any other agreements
affecting the Premises, the Building or the Complex, Landlord or other tenants
of the Complex. No later than five (5) business days after the effective date of
any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (A) copies of the
instrument effecting any of the foregoing Permitted Transfers, (B) documentation
establishing Tenant's satisfaction of the requirements set forth above
applicable to any such Permitted Transfer, and (C) evidence of insurance as
required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee. The
occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to any
subsequent assignments or subleases. "Tangible Net Worth" means the excess of
total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP"),
excluding, however, from the determination of total assets all assets which
would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP including goodwill,
licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Any
subsequent assignments or subleases by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject
to the terms of this Article 24.
ARTICLE 25. SALE OF PREMISES BY LANDLORD
In the event of any sale of the Building or the property upon which the Building
is located or any assignment of this Lease by Landlord (or a successor in
title), the assignee or purchaser shall be deemed, without any further agreement
between the parties, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the
covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease, and shall be substituted
as Landlord for all purposes from and after the sale or assignment: and Landlord
(or such successor) shall automatically be entirely freed and relieved of all
liability under any and all of Landlord's covenants and obligations contained in
this Lease or arising out of any act, occurrence, or omission occurring after
such sale or assignment.
ARTICLE 26. SUBORDINATION/ATTORNMENT/MODIFICATION/ASSIGNMENT
Tenant's interest under this Lease is subordinate to all terms of and all liens
and interests arising under any ground lease, deed of trust, or mortgage now or
hereafter placed on the Landlord's interest in the Premises, the Building, or
the Project. Tenant consents to an assignment of Landlord's interest in this
Lease to Landlord's lender as required under such financing. If the Premises or
the Building is sold as a result of a default under the mortgage, or pursuant to
a transfer in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall, at the mortgagee's, purchaser's
or ground lessor's sole election,
9
attorn to the mortgagee or purchaser. This Article is self-operative. However,
Tenant agrees to execute and deliver, if Landlord, any deed of trust holder,
mortgagee, or purchaser should so request, such further instruments necessary to
subordinate this Lease to a lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, to
acknowledge the consent to assignment and to affirm the attornment provisions
set forth herein.
ARTICLE 27. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT AND RIGHT TO CURE
Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations
required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty
(30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any
first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address
shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein
Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the
nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord
commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues the same to completion.
ARTICLE 28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time upon request by Landlord, to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) calendar days
after demand by Landlord, a statement in writing certifying (a) that this Lease
is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating such
modifications), (b) the dates to which the Minimum Monthly Rent and other rent
and charges have been paid in advance, if any, (c) Tenant's acceptance and
possession of the Premises, (d) the commencement of the Lease Term, (e) the rent
provided under the Lease, (f) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease
(or if Tenant claims such default, the nature thereof), (g) that Tenant claims
no offsets against the rent, and (h) such other information as may be requested
with respect to the provisions of this Lease or the tenancy created by this
Lease. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more than one
month's rent has been paid in advance.
ARTICLE 29. TENANT'S DEFAULT AND LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
29.1 Tenant will be in default under the Lease if any of the following
occurs, and same shall be deemed an "EVENT OF DEFAULT":
(a) If Tenant fails to pay the Minimum Monthly Rent or make any
other payment required by the Lease within three (3) working
days after Landlord sends Tenant a written notice or demand
for payment, provided that such notice or demand is dated
subsequent to the date such payment is due.
(b) If Tenant assigns the Lease or mortgages its interest in the
Lease or sublets any part of the Premises without first
obtaining Landlord's written consent, as required by ARTICLE
24.
(c) If Tenant abandons the Premises, or ceases to operate its
business on the Premises, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or
makes any general assignment of all or a substantial part of
its property for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is
appointed to operate Tenant's business or to take possession
of all or a substantial part of Tenant's property.
(d) If a lien attaches to the Lease or to Tenant's interest in the
Premises, and Tenant fails to post a bond or other security or
to have the lien released within ten (10) days of its
notification thereof, or if a mortgagee institutes proceedings
to foreclose its mortgage against Tenant's leasehold interest
or other property and Tenant fails to have the foreclosure
proceedings dismissed within ten (10) calendar days after the
entry of any judgment or order declaring the mortgage to be
valid and Tenant to be in default on the obligation secured
thereby, or directing enforcement of the mortgage.
(e) If Tenant fails to maintain any of the insurance as required
by the Lease.
(f) If Tenant breaches any other provision of the Lease and fails
to cure the breach within fifteen (15) days after Landlord
sends it written notice of the breach, or if the breach cannot
be cured within fifteen (15) days, then if Tenant does not
proceed with reasonable diligence to cure the breach within
such additional time as may be reasonably necessary under the
circumstances, not to exceed sixty (60) days.
29.2 If Tenant is in default, then Landlord may take any one or more of the
following actions:
(a) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of all or any part
of the Premises and remove Tenant and any person claiming
under Tenant from the Premises, using reasonable force, if
necessary, and without committing a trespass or becoming
liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned thereby.
Landlord may also change the locks to the Premises without
notice at Tenant's expense. Re-entry and possession of the
Premises will not by themselves terminate the Lease.
10
(b) Landlord may remove any property, including fixtures, from the
Premises and store the same at Tenant's expense in a warehouse
or any other location, or Landlord may lease the Premises with
the property on the Premises pending removal or other
disposition. If Landlord leaves the property on the Premises
or stores it at another location owned or controlled by
Landlord, then Landlord may charge Tenant a reasonable fee for
storing and handling the property comparable to what Landlord
would have had to pay to a third party for such services.
Landlord will not be liable under any circumstance to Tenant
or to anyone else for any damage to the property. Provided
that Tenant does not remove Tenant's property within twenty
(20) days after Landlord has taken possession of all or any
part of the Premises, Landlord may proceed to sell Tenant's
property, which shall be sold in accordance with the laws of
the state in which the Premises are located.
(c) Landlord may collect any rents or other payments that become
due from any subtenant, concessionaire or licensee, and may in
its own name or in Tenant's name bring suit for such amounts,
and settle any claims therefor, without approving the terms of
the sublease or Tenant's agreement with the concessionaire or
licensee and without prejudice to Landlord's right to
terminate the sublease or agreement without cause and remove
the subtenant, concessionaire or licensee from the Premises.
(d) [Intentionally Deleted]
(e) Landlord may relet the Premises at whatever rent and on
whatever terms and conditions it deems advisable. The term of
any new lease may be shorter or longer than the remaining term
of this Lease. In reletting the Premises, Landlord may make
any alterations or repairs to the Premises it feels necessary
or desirable; may subdivide the Premises into more than one
unit and lease each portion separately; may sell Tenant's
improvements, fixtures and other property located on the
Premises to the new tenant, or include such improvements,
fixtures and property as part of the Premises without
additional cost; may advertise the Premises for sale or lease;
may hire brokers or other agents; and, may do anything else it
deems necessary or helpful in reletting the Premises. Tenant
will be liable to Landlord for all costs and expenses of the
reletting including but not limited to rental concessions to
the new tenant, broker's commissions and tenant improvements,
and will remain liable for the Minimum Monthly Rent and all
other charges arising under the Lease, less any income
received from the new tenant, unless the Lease is terminated
as set forth below. In the event an existing tenant of the
project is moved into the Premises, Tenant will be liable for
the damages suffered by Landlord (as calculated herein) as the
result of the vacancy of the premises occupied by the existing
tenant.
(f) Landlord may terminate the Lease at any time after Tenant
defaults by sending a written notice to Tenant expressly
stating that the Lease is being terminated. Termination will
be effective on the date of the notice or on any other date
set forth in the notice. Until Landlord sends Tenant such a
notice, the Lease will remain in full force and effect, and
Tenant will remain liable for paying the Minimum Monthly Rent
and other charges that come due under the Lease and for
performing all other terms and conditions of the Lease. No
other action by Landlord, including repossession of the
Premises, removing or selling Tenant's separate property,
reletting the Premises, or filing suit for possession or for
damages, will terminate the Lease or release Tenant from its
continuing liability for complying with the terms and
conditions.
(g) Landlord may recover from Tenant all costs and expenses
Landlord incurs as a direct or indirect consequence of
Tenant's breach, including the cost of storing and selling
Tenant's property, reletting the Premises, and bringing suit
against Tenant for possession or damages. If Landlord made or
paid for any improvements to the Premises, or granted Tenant
any improvement allowance or credit against the Minimum
Monthly Rent or other charges due hereunder for Tenant's
improvements, then Landlord shall also be entitled to recover
the unamortized portion of the cost of such improvements or
the amount of such allowance or credit, determined by
multiplying the total amount of such cost or allowance or
credit by a fraction, the denominator of which is the total
number of months of the initial Lease Term and the numerator
of which is the number of months of the Lease Term remaining
at the time of Tenant's default. Also, if the Lease provides
for any months for which no Minimum Monthly Rent or a reduced
Minimum Monthly Rent is payable, or for any other rent
concession to Tenant, then, upon default, Tenant shall become
liable for the full amount of the Minimum Monthly Rent (or
other rent concession), plus applicable taxes, for such
months, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover as
additional rent the amount that would have been payable by
Tenant for such months if the Minimum Monthly Rent provided
for herein had been payable by Tenant throughout the entire
Lease Term. Unless Landlord terminates the Lease, Tenant will
also remain liable for any difference between the Minimum
Monthly Rent and other charges called for by the Lease and the
rent and other charges collected by Landlord from any new
tenant. For any month in which Landlord collects less from a
successor tenant than is payable under this Lease, Landlord
may demand that Tenant immediately make up the difference, and
Landlord may bring suit against Tenant if Tenant fails to do
so. If Landlord does terminate the Lease, then Tenant will no
longer be liable on a continuing monthly basis for the Minimum
Monthly Rent and other charges that would have become due
under the Lease thereafter, but Tenant will remain liable for
all sums accrued under the Lease to the date of termination,
as well as for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord,
and any other damages sustained by Landlord, as a consequence
of Tenant's breach. Also Landlord may recover from
11
Tenant the difference between the present value at the date of
termination to the end of the Lease Term and the present value
of the Minimum Monthly Rent and other charges Landlord could
have obtained if Landlord had rented the Premises for the same
period at its fair rental value at the end of termination. The
present value of the amounts referred to in the preceding
sentence shall be computed using a discount rate equal to the
prime rate charged by Xxxxx Fargo Bank (or its successor) at
the date of termination.
(h) Landlord may xxx Tenant for possession of the Premises, for
damages for breach of the Lease, and for other appropriate
relief, either in the same or in separate actions. Landlord
may recover all costs and expenses it incurs in any such suit,
including reasonable attorneys' fees.
(i) Landlord may exercise any other right or remedy available at
law or in equity for breach of contract, damages or other
appropriate relief. The rights and remedies described herein
are cumulative, and Landlord's exercise of any one right will
not preclude the simultaneous exercise of any other right or
remedy.
29.3 [Intentionally Deleted]
ARTICLE 30. TENANT'S RECOURSE
Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees to look
solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the Building and the Project,
subject to prior rights of any ground lessor, mortgagee, or deed of trust of the
Building and the Project or any part thereof, for the collection of any judgment
requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by
Landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees that it is prohibited from using any
other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenants' remedies. Neither Landlord nor
any of its respective officers, directors, employees, heirs, successors, or
assigns, shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature, directly or
indirectly, under or in connection with this Lease.
ARTICLE 31. HOLDING OVER
Subject to prior written consent by Landlord, if Tenant holds over after the
Expiration Date, or any extension thereof, Tenant shall be a tenant at
sufferance, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased to 150% of the then
current lease rate at the Building or the Tenant's lease rate at the time the
Lease expired, whichever is higher, plus any amounts due under ARTICLE 5, which
shall be payable in advance on the first day of such holdover period and on the
first day of each month thereafter. Tenant will be considered to be on a
month-to-month basis during any holdover period.
ARTICLE 32. GENERAL PROVISIONS
32.1 This Lease is construed in accordance with the laws of the state in

EXHIBIT F
RENEWAL OPTION
If Tenant has not committed more than two (2) Events of Default at any
time during the Term and there is no existing Event of Default at the time it
exercises its renewal option or at the commencement of the extended Term, and
Tenant is occupying the entire Premises at the time of such election, Tenant may
renew this Lease for one (1) additional period of Three (3) years, by delivering
written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not earlier than twelve (12)
months nor later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the Term. The
Base Rent payable for each month during such extended Term shall be the
prevailing rental rate (the "Prevailing Rental Rate"), at the commencement of
such extended Term, for renewals of space in the Building or Complex, if
applicable, of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length
of the extended Term and the credit standing of Tenant to be taken into account.
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice to renew, Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant written notice of the Prevailing Rental Rate and shall
advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent, if any, and the other
terms and conditions offered. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt
of Landlord's notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or
rejects Landlord's determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant timely
notifies Landlord that Tenant accepts Landlord's determination of the Prevailing
Rental Rate, then, on or before the commencement date of the extended Term,
Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the Term
on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:
(a) Base Rent shall be adjusted to the Prevailing Rental Rate;
(b) Tenant shall have no further renewal option unless expressly
granted by Landlord in writing;
(c) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their then-current
condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving
allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements;
and
(d) Tenant shall pay for the parking spaces which it is entitled to use
at the rates from time to time charged to patrons of the parking area and/or any
other parking area associated with the Building during the extended Term (plus
all applicable taxes).
If Tenant rejects Landlord's determination of the Prevailing Rental
Rate, or fails to timely notify Landlord in writing that Tenant accepts or
rejects Landlord's determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, time being of
the essence with respect thereto, Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall
terminate and Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease.
Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (1) this Lease or
Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated, (2) Tenant assigns
any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises unless
in connection with a Permitted Transfer, (3) Tenant fails to timely exercise its
option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant's
exercise thereof, or (4) Landlord determines, in its sole but reasonable
discretion, that Tenant's financial condition or creditworthiness has materially
deteriorated since the date of this Lease.

EXHIBIT G
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
Subject to then-existing renewal or expansion options of other tenants
for the Offer Space (or, even if not a right under such tenant's lease, the
renewal of a lease of any tenant by Landlord for the Offer Space (hereinafter
defined)) ("PRIOR RIGHTS"), and provided no Event of Default then exists,
Landlord grants Tenant continuous right of first offer (the "RIGHT OF OFFER") to
lease those approximately 2,921 rentable square feet of space located on the
second (2nd) floor of the Building contiguous to the Premises and known as Suite
207 (the "OFFER SPACE") as it becomes available to lease throughout the
Extension Term hereof, on the following basis:
(a) Once the Offer Space becomes available (subject to the rights of
tenants with Prior Rights), Landlord shall, prior to offering or accepting an
offer for the same to any party (other than tenants with Prior Rights), first
offer to lease to Tenant the Offer Space in an "AS-IS" condition; such offer
shall be in writing and specify the lease terms for the Offer Space, including
the rent to be paid for the Offer Space and the date on which the Offer Space
shall be included in the Premises (the "OFFER NOTICE"). However, such offer
shall be on terms no less favorable to Tenant than would be offered to any third
party prospective tenant in the market. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing
whether Tenant elects to lease the entire Offer Space on the terms set forth in
the Offer Notice, within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant the
Offer Notice. If Tenant timely elects to lease the Offer Space, then Landlord
and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease, effective as of the date the
Offer Space is to be included in the Premises, on the terms set forth in the
Offer Notice and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Offer Notice terms,
the terms of this Lease; however, Tenant shall accept the Offer Space in an
"AS-IS" condition and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g.,
moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant
inducements except as specifically provided in the Offer Notice. Landlord and
Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that in addition to the Prior Rights, the
Offer Space shall not be deemed to become available if the space is: (1)
assigned or subleased by the current tenant of the space; (2) the current tenant
by renewal, extension, or renegotiation has extended and continued its current
lease by rights existing as of the Commencement Date or the current tenant is in
a holdover status; or (3) vacant and not leased to a tenant as of the date of
this Lease.
(b) If Tenant fails or is unable to timely exercise its right
hereunder, then such right shall lapse, time being of the essence with respect
to the exercise thereof, and Landlord may lease all or a portion of the Offer
Space to third parties on such terms as Landlord may elect. Tenant may not
exercise its rights under this Exhibit if an Event of Default exists or Tenant
is not then occupying the entire Premises. For purposes hereof, if an Offer
Notice is delivered for less than all of the Offer Space but such notice
provides for an expansion, right of first refusal, or other preferential right
to lease some of the remaining portion of the Offer Space, then such remaining
portion of the Offer Space shall thereafter be excluded from the provisions of
this Exhibit. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay a commission with
respect to any space leased by Tenant under this Exhibit, and Tenant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs,
expenses, attorneys' fees, and other liability for commissions or other
compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or
under Tenant.
(c) Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (a) this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated, (b) Tenant
assigns any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the
Premises, (c) Tenant's current financial condition fails to meet and satisfy the
financial criteria that Landlord generally uses to lease space to tenants
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or (d) less than two (2) full calendar years
remain in the initial Term of this Lease.
