repaired forthwith by and at the expense of Landlord, provided such repairs can
be, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, completed within one hundred twenty (120)
days after notice to Landlord of the occurrence of such damage, without the
payment of repair, overtime or other premiums. Except as set forth herein below,

unusable for a period of less than two days. Landlord's opinion as to
completion date of any repair shall be given to Tenant in writing within thirty
(30) days of the occurrence of the damage.
10. Damage or Destruction --Tenant's Election to Terminate. In case of any
significant damage or destruction mentioned herein, which Landlord is required

Agreement by written notice to Landlord any time prior to completion of the
required repair if Landlord has not restored and rebuilt the Leased Premises
(exclusive of any property of Tenant or improvements installed by Tenant located
therein) to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to
such damage or destruction within one hundred twenty (120) days after notice to
Landlord of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, unless Landlord may
have been delayed in doing so by acts of God, adjustment of insurance, labor
trouble, governmental controls, unavailability of materials, or any other cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control, but in no event shall the repair period
exceed a total of one hundred and eighty (18O) days.

other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and to
perform, and such default shall continue for twenty (20 days after written
notice by Landlord; (c) if the interest of Tenant under this Lease Agreement is

any transfer of any interest in the Leased Premises not in accordance with the
requirements of this Lease Agreement, then Landlord may treat the occurrence of
any one or more of the foregoing events as a breach of this Lease Agreement and
thereupon, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall have one or more of the
following described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided at law or in equity:
a. Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement and forthwith, in
accordance with applicable law, repossess the Leased Premises and remove all
persons or property therefrom, and be entitled to recover as damages a sum of
money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Leased Premises (ii)
the unpaid rent owed thereon from due date plus interest thereon at the rate of
18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is
lower, (iii) the present value of the balance of the rent for the remainder of
the term, discounted to the present at 8% per annum, and (iv) any other sum of
money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord;
b. Landlord shall also be entitled to terminate Tenant's right of
possession in accordance with applicable law and to repossess the Leased
Premises, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant, by summary
proceedings, any other applicable action or proceeding, or otherwise, all
without terminating this Lease Agreement, in which event Landlord may, but shall
be under no obligation to, relet the same for the account of Tenant for such
rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord. None of these
actions will be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Leased Premises. For
the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to decorate or to make any
repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Leased Premises that
may be necessary or convenient, and (i) if Landlord shall fail or refuse to
relet the Leased
5
Premises, or (ii) if the same are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be
realized from such reletting, after paying the unpaid Base Rental due hereunder
earned or unpaid at the time of reletting, plus interest thereon at the rate set
forth herein, the cost of recovering possession, and all of the costs and
expenses of such decoration, repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, and
the expense of such reletting, and of the collection of the rent accruing
therefrom to satisfy the payment of the rent provided for in this Lease
Agreement, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the
amount of the rental reserved in this Lease Agreement for such period or
periods, or if the Leased Premises have been relet, Tenant shall satisfy and pay
any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time; and Tenant agrees
that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of
this Lease Agreement from time to time on one or more occasions without Landlord
being obligated to wait until expiration of the term of this Lease Agreement and
without barring or affecting in any manner Landlord's right to bring a later
action or actions for further damages; nor shall such reletting be construed as
an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease Agreement unless a
written notice of such intention be given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding
any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter
elect to terminate this Lease Agreement for such previous breach.
c. Without prejudice to any other remedy for default, Landlord may
perform any obligation or make any payment required to cure a default by Tenant.
The cost of performance, including attorneys' fees and all disbursements, shall
immediately be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent.
13. Defects. Tenant agrees to report in writing to Landlord any defective
condition in or about the Leased Premises known to Tenant, and further agrees to
attempt to contact Landlord by telephone immediately in such instance.
14. Eminent Domain
a. In the event the Leased Premises are taken pursuant to powers of
eminent domain, all awards for the taking other than awards for interruption of
Tenant's business shall belong solely to Landlord, and Tenant shall make no
claim therefor.
b. In the event of a partial taking, which does not result in a
termination of this Lease Agreement, rent shall be abated in proportion to the
part of the Leased Premises so made unusable by said partial taking, and any
award for the taking shall belong solely to Landlord.
c. No temporary taking of the Leased Premises and/or of Tenant's
rights therein or under this Lease Agreement shall terminate this Lease
Agreement or give Tenant any right to any abatement of rent hereunder; and any
award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking shall belong
entirely to Tenant, and Landlord shall not be entitled to share therein. The
Tenant and Landlord will work together to cause the governmental agency
6
responsible for the taking to restore the Leased Premises and Project, after the
taking, to their original condition prior to the taking.
d. If the whole of the Leased Premises, or so much thereof as to
render the balance unusable by Tenant, shall be taken by any governmental
authority under power of Eminent Domain, this Lease Agreement shall
automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date
possession is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. No award
for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together
with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or
any part thereof, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to
Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property,
equipment, and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for the interruption of or
damage to Tenant's business or for Tenant's unamortized cost of improvements
installed by Tenant and/or the cost of moving and/or the lost value of Tenant's
unexpired Lease Agreement term.
15. Entire Agreement. This instrument, along with any exhibits and
attachments or other documents affixed hereto or referred to herein, constitute
the entire and exclusive agreement between Landlord and Tenant relative to the
Leased Premises herein described, and this Agreement and said exhibits and
attachments and other documents may be altered and/or revoked only by an
instrument in writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree that all prior written and oral agreements, understandings and/or
practices relative to the leasing of the Leased Premises are merged in or
revoked by this Lease Agreement.
16. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall at any time and from time to time,
upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice from Landlord,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or to other parties as Landlord may
direct, a statement in writing, (a) certifying that this Lease Agreement is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of
such modification and certifying that this Lease Agreement as so modified is in
full force and effect), the date to which the rental and other charges are paid
in advance, and the amount of the Base Rental, Estimated Operating Expense
Adjustment, and the commencement and termination dates of the Lease Agreement,
and (b) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any
are claimed. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Leased
Premises are a part. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time
shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease Agreement is in full force
and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) not more than
one month's Base Rental, or Estimated Operating Expense Adjustment installment,
has been paid in advance. If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the
Project, or any part thereof, Tenant agrees to deliver to any lender designated
by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as Tenant make publicly
available.

therefor, acts of God, governmental restrictions or regulations or controls,
judicial orders, enemy or hostile government actions, civil commotion, fire or
other casualties, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party
obligated to perform hereunder, shall excuse performance of the work by that
party for a period equal to the duration of that prevention, delay, or stoppage.

charges under this Lease Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Lease
Agreement.

Premises or the Project, claims for injuries to the person or property of any
other tenant of the Project or of any other person in or about the Project for
any purpose whatsoever, or due to administrative or criminal action by a

other tenant of the Project or of any other person in or about the Project for
any purpose whatsoever, or due to administrative or criminal action by a
governmental authority, whether such injury, expense, damage, liability, or
claim results either directly or indirectly from the act, omission, gross
negligence, misconduct, or breach of any provisions of this Lease Agreement by
Landlord, the agents, servants, or employees of Landlord, or any other person
entering upon the Leased Premises under express or implied invitation or consent
of Landlord. Landlord further agrees to reimburse Tenant for any costs or

end of the term of this Lease Agreement, for each month or any part thereof of
any such holdover period, together with any Additional Rent. No holding over by
Tenant after the termination of this Lease Agreement shall operate to extend
the Lease Agreement term. In the event of any unauthorized holding over, Tenant
shall indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any other tenant
against Landlord to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Leased
Premises covered hereby effective upon the termination of this Lease Agreement.

with all government, local building code and permitting requirements and provide
Landlord with evidence of compliance. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice

expense, to remove such alterations,
10
physical additions, or improvements upon termination of this Lease Agreement and
to repair any damage caused by such removal.
22. Inconvenience Damage. No damages, compensation, or claim shall be
payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising

unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy.
23. Insurance by Landlord. Landlord shall maintain during the term of this
Lease Agreement an all-risk commercial property policy insuring the project,
common areas, and personal property owned by Landlord, in amounts equal to
replacement value. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any furniture,
equipment, machinery, goods, or supplies owned by Tenant or which Tenant may
bring or obtain upon the Leased Premises, or any additional improvements which
Tenant may construct thereon. If the annual premiums charged Landlord for such
insurance exceed the standard premium rates because of the nature of Tenant's
operations, then Tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate premium invoices,
reimburse Landlord for such increases in premium. Landlord may, should it choose
to do so, self insure all or part of the above referenced risks. Should Landlord
choose to self insure any insurance risks, the cost demonstrated by a bid from a
reputable insurance company shall be included in the cost of insurance for
expense reimbursement purposes.

injury and property damage and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Landlord shall be
added as an additional insured thereto; and said policy shall not be canceled or
substantially modified without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days written
notice thereof. In addition, Tenant shall maintain Workers Compensation
insurance as required by statute. Tenant shall furnish, within thirty (30) days

upon the approved use for Tenant hereunder), condition, or occupancy of the
Leased Premises. Tenant shall comply, at its sole cost, with requirements of the
11
Americans with Disabilities Act which provides for the removal of architectural
barriers that prevent equal access to disabled persons on the interior of the
Leased Premises. To the extent that barrier removal relates to access on the
exterior of the Project, the obligation shall be that of the Landlord.
26. Lease Memorandum. Neither this Lease Agreement, nor any notice nor
memorandum regarding the terms hereof, shall be recorded by Tenant without the
prior written consent of the Landlord. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant
in satisfying the security interest requirements of its existing lenders.
27. Limitation of Landlord's Liability. The obligations of Landlord under
this Lease Agreement do not constitute personal obligations of Landlord or of
the individual partners, directors, officers, employees, or shareholders of
Landlord or its partners, and Tenant shall look solely to the property that is
the Project described in this Lease Agreement and to no other assets of Landlord
for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease Agreement, and Tenant

similar relationship or arrangement between Landlord and Tenant hereunder.

31. Occupancy Delay. In the event that the Leased Premises should not be
ready for occupancy for any reason, this Lease Agreement shall not be void or
voidable, and Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any claims,
damages, or liabilities in connection therewith or by reason thereof, and the
term of this Lease Agreement shall be for the same term of months as set forth
in the Lease Agreement, but the beginning date shall be effective only from the

begin on a date other than the beginning date, Landlord and Tenant will, at the
request of either, execute a declaration specifying the revised beginning the
term of this Lease Agreement. In such event rental under this Lease Agreement
shall not commence until said revised beginning date, and the stated term in
this Lease Agreement shall thereupon commence and the expiration date shall be
extended so as to give effect to the full stated term. Within five (5) days
after Tenant receives Landlord's notice that the Leased Premises are ready for
occupancy, Tenant shall inspect the Leased Premises, and except for items
specified by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days of Tenant's inspection,
Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Leased Premises in their then
condition, "as is." The existence of "punch list" (as that term is generally
used in the construction industry) items shall not postpone the beginning date
of this Lease Agreement.

or trust deed beneficiary, Tenant will, upon request of any person or party
succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement or
termination, automatically become the Tenant of such successor in interest
without change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease Agreement,
provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any
payment of rent or additional rent for more than one month in advance, (ii) any
amendment or modification of this Lease Agreement made without the written
consent of such mortgagee or such beneficiary or their successor in interest, or

beneficiary in writing of such act or omission by Landlord, and (ii) Tenant has
given the mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary a reasonable opportunity to cure
such act or omission, including the time as shall be reasonably required to

Operating Expense increases, excluding property taxes and insurance, by more
than five percent (5%) in any Calender Year, Tenant may audit Landlord common
area operating costs in order to verify the accuracy of operating expense
charges, provided that:
a. Tenant specifically designates the calender year(s) that Tenant
intends to audit, which shall be a year within two (2) years of date of the
audit, but must be within the Term of this Lease Agreement.
b. Such audit will be conducted only by a licensed firm, unaffiliated
with Tenant, with prior Landlord approval, and during regular business hours at

however, that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the costs associated with such
audit should the audit show that Operating Expenses were inaccurate by more than
seven percent (7%).
d. If audit yields a result that Tenant has underpaid the Tenant will
reimburse Landlord upon receipt of invoice.
e. Tenant agrees not to divulge the results of the audit to any other
party.
(f) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such

intends to audit and Landlord furnishes to
17
Tenant a copy of the results of such audit. No audit shall be conducted at any
time that Tenant is in default of any of the terms of the Lease Agreement. No
subtenant shall have any right to conduct an audit and no assignee shall conduct
an audit for any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the
Leased Premises. Any refund due Tenant as a result of such audit shall be paid

occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall
not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such
default at any time thereafter. Landlord's acceptance of rent will not be deemed
a waiver of any Tenant breach or default existing at the time of payment, except
a default in the payment of money, and then only to the extent of the amount
received by Landlord.
51. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the full extent allowed by law, the respective
parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or cross-action whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected
with this lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises, or any claim for injury or damage, or the enforcement
of any remedy under any statute or otherwise.
52. Waiver of Time Limitations. In the event Tenant shall have any claim or
cause of action against Landlord arising out of or otherwise related to this
lease, Tenant must file such action with a court of competent jurisdiction
within one year after the accrual of such claim or cause of action; otherwise,
such claim or cause of action shall be deemed waived and permanently barred by
the passage of time and be void.
53. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant do each hereby release the
other from any and all liability or responsibility (to the other or to anyone
claiming through or under the other by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any
loss or damage to property or for personal injury caused by perils insured
against by the policies to be carried pursuant to this Lease, even if the cause
of such peril or damage shall have been the negligence of the other party or of
anyone for whom such party may be responsible. Such waiver of subrogation shall
be effective with respect to such loss or damage, and each policy hereunder
shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall
not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the
releasing party to recover thereunder. Landlord and Tenant each agree that their
policies shall include such a clause or endorsement. The failure to obtain a
clause or endorsement providing such waiver of subrogation shall in no manner
limit or restrict the validity and enforceability of the waivers of subrogation
herein contained.
