ARTICLE 2. LEASED PREMISES AND TERM
Section 2.1. Leased Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant
---------------
hereby leases from Landlord, the premises described below, upon and subject to
the covenants, agreements, terms, conditions, limitations, exceptions and
reservations of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as a material
part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform all of the
covenants, agreements, terms and conditions by each of them to be kept and
performed under this Lease, and this Lease is made upon the condition of such
performance.
The premises leased to Tenant under this Lease is the Building (and the
space included therein) indicated on the plan attached to this Lease as
Exhibit A (the "Leased Premises"). For purposes of this Lease, the parties agree
---------
that the rentable square feet of the Leased Premises is as stipulated in
Article 1.
Section 2.2. Term. The term of this Lease (the `Term") shall be as
----
indicated in Article 1. The Term and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent (as defined
in Section 3.2, but subject to the period of abatement of Fixed Rent and the Fee
as set forth in the Rider) shall commence on the Commencement Date as set forth
in Article 1 and, unless the Term is extended as provided in this Lease, shall
expire on the Expiration Date set forth in Article 1.
If Landlord has not completed Landlord's Work within 120 days after the
Scheduled Completion Date for Landlord's Work as set forth In Article 1, then at
Tenant's option as indicated by Tenant's written notice received by Landlord no
later than five (5) business days thereafter, this Lease and all rights, duties
and obligations of the parties shall terminate effective one day after the date
of such notice. If Tenant fails to timely deliver such notice of termination,
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 2.3. Completion of Leased Premises. For the purposes of Section
-----------------------------
2.2, the Leased Premises shall be conclusively deemed available for Tenant to
commence Tenant's Work (as defined in the Work Letter) upon mutual execution of
this Lease. Except for Landlord's Work, as described in Exhibit B to this Lease
---------
(the "Work Letter"), Landlord has no obligation for the completion or remodeling
of the Leased Premises and Tenant accepts the Leased Premises In their "as is"
condition as of the date of mutual execution of this Lease. Landlord's Work
shall be deemed substantially completed when Landlord certifies in writing that
Landlord's Work has been substantially completed. Landlord's Work, if any, shall
be deemed substantially completed notwithstanding that minor or non-material
details of construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration that do not
materially interfere with Tenant's ability to perform the Tenant Work (so-called
"punch list items") remain to be performed, or that portions of Landlord's Work
are incomplete because such work cannot be done until Tenant's Work is
completed. Landlord agrees to perform or complete the punch list items within 30
business days after mutual execution of the punch list by Tenant and Landlord.
In the event Landlord Is delayed In completing Landlord's Work by any delay,
interference or hindrance of such work by Tenant, Tenant's contractors or any of
their employees or agents, or by any changes in such work requested by Tenant
and agreed to by Landlord or by Tenant's failure to timely and properly perform
any of its obligations imposed pursuant to Exhibit B, then the Scheduled
---------
Completion Date for Landlord's Work set forth in Article 1 shall be
correspondingly adjusted.
Section 2.4. Commencement and Expiration Date Agreement. [Intentionally
------------------------------------------
Omitted]
Section 2.5. Tenant's Entry Upon Leased Premises Before Commencement Date.
------------------------------------------------------------
On the condition that Tenant complies at all times with the provisions and
requirements of this Lease (other than the obligation to pay Fixed Rent and the
Fee for parking) Tenant may enter upon the Leased Premises prior to the
Commencement Date to commence construction of Tenant's Work as set forth in the
Work Letter.
Section 2.6. Occupancy of Leased Premises. The taking of occupancy of all
----------------------------
or part of the Leased Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming by, under or through
Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that: (a) Tenant accepts possession of the
Leased Premises; and (b) the Leased Premises and the Building were in good and
satisfactory condition and were delivered in the condition required under the
Lease, except for the completion of Landlord's Work.
ARTICLE 3. RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
Section 3.1. Fixed Rent and First Monthly Rent Payment. Tenant shall pay
-----------------------------------------
Landlord the fixed rent stipulated in Article 1 (the "Fixed Rent"). The Fixed
Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in the amount stipulated in
Article 1 as monthly Fixed Rent, in advance, on the first day of each calendar
month during the term of this Lease. If the Term does not commence on the first
day of a calendar month or does not end on the last day of a calendar month, the
monthly Fixed Rent for such month or months shall be prorated, and the prorated
amounts shall be paid in advance. All Fixed Rent shall be paid without any prior
demand and without any deduction or set-off whatsoever, in lawful currency of
the United States of America, at the address of Landlord set forth in Article 1,
or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
Within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date (acknowledging the
period of abatement of Fixed Rent and the Fee for parking as set forth in the
Rider), Tenant agrees to pay Landlord an amount equal to the monthly Fixed Rent
and Fee, which Landlord shall hold without interest to Tenant and apply to the
first full monthly Fixed Rent and Fee obligation of Tenant. Landlord will
provide Tenant an invoice for the first installment of Fixed Rent and the Fee
for parking which invoice will provide for a payment date by Tenant no later
than sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date. Thereafter Landlord shall have
no obligation to provide Tenant an invoice prior to any payment of Rent,
Additional Rent or the Fee, unless expressly required hereunder.
Section 3.2. Additional Rent and Rent Defined. Any sums or charges to be
--------------------------------
paid by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, other than the Fixed
Rent, represent obligations of Tenant for additional rent ("Additional Rent")
and shall be payable within five business days after Landlord gives written
notice and demand for payment unless otherwise provided in this Lease. Payment
shall be made at the location specified in Article 1, unless otherwise
designated by notice from Landlord in writing, and shall be recoverable in the
same manner as the Fixed Rent. Landlord shall have the same rights against
Tenant for default in payment of Additional Rent as for default in payment of
the Fixed Rent.
As used in this Lease, the term "Rent" shall mean Fixed Rent and Additional
Rent.
2
Section 3.3. Past Due Rent and Additional Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay
---------------------------------
any Rent before the sixth day after such Rent is due and payable, Tenant agrees
to pay as Additional Rent each day after such sixth day that the Rent remains
unpaid, a late charge which shall be the greater of (a) $25.00 per day, or (b)
5% of the amount of such unpaid Rent divided by 30. The late charge shall accrue
daily until the unpaid Rent (including the late charge) is paid. Tenant agrees
that such amounts are not a penalty, but are intended as liquidated damages and
reflect a reasonable estimate by the parties of the cost to reimburse Landlord
for the loss of the use of the money and the additional administrative costs
resulting from late payments. Tenant shall also be responsible for the payment
of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in collecting any delinquent
Rent from Tenant. Any election by Landlord to waive in any instance the
requirement for Tenant's payment of late charges and/or attorneys' fees incurred
by Landlord pursuant to this Section of any other provision in this Lease shall
not operate to waive or impair Landlord's right to collect such sums from Tenant
upon any other breach of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
Section 3.4. Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon
----------------
signing this Lease, and shall keep on deposit with Landlord in a separate,
interest bearing account throughout the term of this Lease, the security deposit
referenced in Article 1 of this Lease (the "Security Deposit") as security for
the payment by Tenant of the Rent and for the faithful performance of all the
terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease. If at any time during the Term
Tenant defaults in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under
this Lease, Landlord may but shall not be required to use the Security Deposit,
or so much thereof as necessary, in payment of any Rent in default, in
reimbursement of any expense incurred by Landlord and in payment of the damages
incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, or at the option of
Landlord, Landlord may retain the Security Deposit as liquidated damages. In
such event, on written demand of Landlord, Tenant shall immediately remit to
Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount. If, upon termination of this Lease, Landlord has not applied
the Security Deposit balance to sums owed to Landlord as permitted by this
Section above, then within 60 days after the termination of this Lease Landlord
will refund the Security Deposit to Tenant with interest. Tenant is hereby
notified that any questions regarding the Security Deposit, including any
request for its return, should be directed to Landlord at the address for
Landlord set forth in Article 1.
Landlord shall deliver the Security Deposit to the purchaser of Landlord's
interest in the Leased Premises in the event such interest is sold, and
thereupon, Landlord shall be discharged from further liability with respect to
the Security Deposit. Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability
with respect to the Security Deposit if either Landlord delivers the Security
Deposit to the purchaser, or the purchaser assumes all of the obligations of
Landlord with respect to the Security Deposit. Notwithstanding these provisions
above if claims of Landlord exceed the Security Deposit, Tenant shall remain
liable for the balance of such claims.

-----------

arrange directly with the utility companies serving the Leased Premises to
provide and pay for all electricity and gas furnished or required in the Leased
Premises, and any deposits required therefor. Landlord shall incur no liability

diminished or affected by reason of the unavailability, change or cessation of
such utility service, except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.2 of this
Lease.
Section 4.3. Janitorial. Tenant will contract for and pay for all
----------
janitorial services utilized in the Leased Premises. Tenant will keep the Leased
Premises in a clean condition, free from garbage or debris in a manner

Section 4.4. Tenant's Share of the Increase in the Operating Costs. For
-----------------------------------------------------
each calendar year during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the time
and in the manner provided below, Tenant's Share of the Increase in Operating
Costs, as defined below.
(a) The term "Tenant's Share of the Increase in Operating Costs" for any
year shall mean the product of (i) the difference, if any, between the
actual Operating Costs for the Building for such year when expressed on a
square-foot basis and the Landlord's operating cost limitation indicated in
Article 1 ("Landlord's Operating Cost Limitation"), also expressed on a
square-foot basis, and (ii) the number of rentable square feet in the
Leased Premises (as stated in Article 1). In the event that actual
Operating Costs are less than Landlord's Operating Cost Limitation, there
shall be no credit or refund to the Tenant.
(b) For each full calendar year during the Term beginning with the calendar
year 2001, Landlord shall compute and deliver to Tenant a reasonable
estimate of Tenant's Share of the Increase in Operating Costs for such
year, and without further notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
simultaneously with Tenant's monthly payments of Fixed Rent during such
year, monthly installments equal to one-twelfth of such estimate. With the
first such monthly installment of Tenant's Share of the Increase in
Operating Costs to be paid by Tenant for any calendar year, Tenant shall
include payment of the amount of the estimated increase prorated for the
period from the preceding January 1 to the first day of the next month
following the date of the notice. In any year Landlord may subsequently
revise the estimated adjustment in Operating Costs to allow for any new
expenses or other information which may impact Operating Costs for that
fiscal period, and in that case, after receipt of Landlord's notice of the
revised estimates Tenant shall pay monthly installments of Tenant's Share
of the Increase in Operating Costs based on Landlord's adjusted projections
as provided in this paragraph above.
(c) Unless delayed by causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant within 120 days after the end of each calendar year
during the Term, a written statement (the "Statement") setting out in
reasonable detail Tenant's Share of the Increase in Operating Costs for
such year. If the aggregate of monthly installments of Tenant's Share of
the Increase in Operating Costs actually paid by Tenant to Landlord during
any calendar year differs from the amount of Tenant's Share of the Increase
in the Operating Costs payable according to the Statement for such year
under this Section 4.3, then within thirty (30) days after the date of
delivery of the Statement, Tenant shall either (1) pay the amount (without
interest) by which the certified Tenant's Share of the Increase in
Operating Costs exceeds the amount previously paid on account of the
estimated Tenant's Share of the Increase in Operating Costs, or (2) be
credited against the next installment of Rent (or receive a check if there
is no Rent thereafter due) with the amount (without interest) by which the
amount previously paid on account of the estimated Tenant's Share of the
Increase in Operating Costs exceeds the certified Tenant's Share of the
Increase in Operating Costs.
(d) If Landlord and Tenant disagree on the accuracy of Tenant's Share of
the Increase in Operating Costs as set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall
nevertheless make payment in accordance with any notice given by Landlord,
but the disagreement shall immediately be referred by Landlord for prompt
decision by a mutually acceptable public accountant or other professional
consultant who shall be deemed to be acting as expert and not as an
arbitrator, and a determination signed by the selected expert shall be
final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Any adjustment required to
any previous payment made by Tenant or Landlord by reason of any such
decision shall be made within fourteen (14) days after the decision. If the
adjustment calls for a credit to Tenant equal to 3% or more of the payments
made but disputed by Tenant, Landlord will pay the cost of the expert;
otherwise Tenant will pay the cost of the expert.
(e) Neither party may claim a readjustment in respect of Tenant's Share of
the Increase in Operating Costs for any year if based upon any error of
computation or allocation except by notice delivered to the other party
within ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of the Statement for
such year. Upon written request from Tenant within the 90-day period,
Landlord will provide reasonable documentation verifying Tenant's Share of
the increase in Operating Costs.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4,
for the purposes of calculating Tenant's Share of the Increase in the
Operating Costs "Controlled Expenses" (as hereinafter defined) shall not
exceed the "Maximum Controlled Expenses" (as hereinafter defined).
"Controlled Expenses" shall mean all Operating Costs except those
attributable to utilities, if any, not separately billed to Tenant or
another tenant in the Building, Taxes, costs of insurance, including,
without limitation, liability insurance, business interruption insurance,
casualty insurance and worker's compensation insurance, and costs of
compliance with any laws, rules or regulations. If Landlord is managing the
Building Complex itself the management fees included within Operating
Expenses shall be a Controlled Expense.
4
"Maximum Controlled Expenses" shall mean: (a) for calendar year 2000, the full
amount of the actual expenses for Controlled Expenses as determined in
accordance with the foregoing provisions; (b) for calendar year 2001 and each
calendar year thereafter, the prior calendar year's Maximum Controlled Expenses
multiplied by 1.05. The limitations described above shall be a limitation only
on the calculation and passthrough to Tenant of Tenant's Share of the Increase
in the Operating Costs. Landlord may, in accordance with advice from its
accountants and other professionals, reasonably contest any utility rate
increases associated with the Building and/or tax assessments and to apply for
all rebates to which it is entitled so long as it has knowledge thereof. The
costs of all such contests and applications shall be included in Operating Costs
however, any penalties or fines in connection with such amounts shall not be so
included. To the extent any rebates or refunds are actually received by
Landlord, they shall be applied to reduce the total Operating Costs for the year
in which such amounts are received. if any such amounts attributable to periods
during the term hereof are received by Landlord following the expiration of the
term hereof (according to its terms and not as a result of an Event of Default,
as hereinafter defined), Landlord agrees to forward to Tenant any amounts to
which Tenant is entitled as and when received notwithstanding the fact that this
Lease has so expired, provided Tenant has given to Landlord a valid forwarding
address.
Section 4.5. Reduction in the Event of Casualty or Taking by Eminent Domain. If
--------------------------------------------------------------
any part of the Building is taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any
public or quasi-public use or purpose (other than temporary use or occupancy) or
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, and if the Term shall continue
in force as to any part of the Leased Premises, Landlord's Operating Cost
Limitation shall be equitably reduced, permanently or temporarily, as
appropriate, to take into account any decrease In Operating Costs attributable
to such taking or damage or destruction.
ARTICLE 5. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY TENANT
Section 5.1. Use of Leased Premises. Tenant shall use the Leased Premises
----------------------
solely for general office use and for the purpose set forth in Article 1 above
and for no other purpose.
Section 5.2. Compliance with Laws and Requirements of Public Authorities.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(a) At all times during the Term, Tenant shall give prompt notice to
Landlord of any notice Tenant receives of the violation of any law or
requirement of any public authority affecting the Leased Premises or the
Building. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with all laws and
requirements of public authorities, which, with respect to the Leased Premises
or the use, condition or occupancy thereof, or the abatement of any nuisance,
shall impose any violation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant, arising from
(i) Tenant's use of the Leased Premises; (ii) the manner of conduct of Tenant's
business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property in the
Leased Premises; (iii) any cause or condition created by or at the insistence of
Tenant; or (iv) breach of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
(b) Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer any act or thing to be done in or
to the Leased Premises which is immoral or contrary to law or in violation of
the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building.
(c) Tenant agrees that it shall not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or
upon the Leased Premises any article which may be prohibited by the
then-available standard forms of fire insurance policies with extended coverage.
Tenant agrees to pay any increase in premiums for insurance that may be charged
during the Term on the amount of such insurance which may be carried by Landlord
on the Leased Premises or the Building resulting from the type of business
conducted by Tenant in the Leased Premises, whether or not Landlord has
consented to that business. Landlord acknowledges that use of the Premises for
uses that are considered general office uses and a computer and
telecommunications equipment room will not result in an increase in Landlord's
insurance premiums. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of
Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, a schedule issued by the organization
making the insurance rate on the Leased Premises and showing the various
components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and
charges which make up the insurance rate on the Leased Premises.
(d) Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all costs, expenses, fines,
penalties or damages which may be imposed upon Landlord by reason of Tenant's
failure to comply with the provisions of this Section.
(e) The judgement of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission
by Tenant, whether Landlord is a party to the proceeding or not, that Tenant has
violated any law or requirement of public authorities affecting the Building or
the Leased Premises shall be conclusive of such violation as between Landlord
and Tenant.
(f) Tenant shall strictly comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations, and precautions now or hereafter mandated or advised by any
federal, state, local or other governmental entity with jurisdiction over the
Premises with respect to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of any
hazardous or toxic material regulated by any federal, state or local
governmental entity (collectively "Hazardous Materials"). Tenant shall not
cause, or allow anyone else to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be used,
generated, stored or disposed of in, on or about the Premises or any
improvements now or hereafter constructed therein, except for hazardous or toxic
substances in small quantities as are typically used in an office space or in a
computer and telecommunications equipment room, but which are used, stored and
disposed of in strict compliance with all applicable laws, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in the sole
discretion of Landlord, and which consent may be revoked at any time. Tenant's
indemnification of Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall extend to all
liability, including all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages,
directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, storage, or disposal
of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under
Tenant, including, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary
repair, cleanup, or detoxification and the preparation of any closure or other
required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or
following the termination of this Lease, to the full extent that such action is
attributable, directly or indirectly, to the use, generation, storage, or
disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant. Neither the written consent by Landlord to the use, generation,
storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant
with all statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and precautions
pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's obligation
of indemnification. In the event Tenant is in breach of the covenants herein,
after notice to Tenant and the expiration of the cure period permitted under
applicable law, regulation, or order, Landlord may, in its sole discretion,
declare Tenant to be in default under this Lease and/or cause the Premises to be
free from the Hazardous Materials and such cause shall be deemed Additional Rent
hereunder and shall immediately be due and payable from Tenant.
(g) Landlord shall have the express right, but no more frequently than once
each calendar year during the lease term, and sixty (60) days prior to the
termination or other expiration of this Lease, to conduct an environmental
investigation at the Leased Premises (and at any other part of the Building
which Tenant utilizes for any operation, equipment or supplemental system). if
either Tenant installs a UPS system or backup generator in or on the Building,
or Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a problem
involving Hazardous Materials in the Premises or Building caused by Tenant, its
agents, invitees, employees or contractors, or resulting from Tenant's use of
the Premises, then Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent within fifteen days of
receipt of an invoice therefore, the cost of the first environmental
investigation thereafter conducted by Landlord. If the first environmental
investigation
5
details no contamination (or any other violation or any applicable Hazardous
Material law or applicable law, rule or regulation of a governmental entity with
jurisdiction over the Premises) that was caused by Tenant, its agents, invitees,
employees or contractors, or resulted from Tenant's use of the Premises, then
the cost of any environmental investigation conducted thereafter shall be borne
by Landlord unless such later environmental Investigation discloses any
contamination or violation of applicable laws (provided such violation or
contamination was caused by Tenant, its agents, invitees, employees or
contractors, or resulted from Tenant's use of the Premises). Tenant will pay, as
Additional Rent within fifteen days of receipt of an invoice therefore, the cost
of the first environmental investigation and any subsequent environmental
investigation which reveals a violation of any applicable Hazardous Material law
or applicable law, rule or regulation of a governmental entity with jurisdiction
over the Premises that was caused by Tenant, its agents, invitees, employees or
contractors, or resulted from Tenant's use of the Premises. If contamination (or
any other violation of any applicable Hazardous Material law or applicable law,
rule or regulation of a governmental entity with jurisdiction over the Premises)
is found and was caused by Tenant, its agents, invitees, employees or
contractors, or resulted from Tenant's use of the Premises, Tenant will
immediately remediate the contamination. Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless against and from any and all claims, liability, damage,
penalties, actions, demands or expenses of any kind or nature (including
attorney's fees), without limitation damage to any property and injury
(including death) to any person, arising from Tenant's breach of this Lease,
Tenant's use of the Premises for the conduct of its business, or from any
activity, work or other thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or omission
of Tenant in and about the Premises. It shall further indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless against and from any and all claims arising from any breach or
default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed
under the terms of this Lease or arising from any act or any of the foregoing
acts or omissions by any of Tenant's agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors or invitees, or from any litigation concerning any of the
foregoing in which Landlord is made a party defendant, and from and against all
costs, attorneys fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any
such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon. Except as limited by
Sections 10.3 and 10.4 below Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to
Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in,
upon or about the Premises from any cause other than Landlord's sole negligence.
Section 5.3. Rules and Regulations.
---------------------
(a) Tenant and its agents, employees, contractors and invitees shall
faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations attached as
Exhibit D, and such reasonable changes to them, whether by modification,
---------
elimination or addition, as Landlord from may make time to time for the use,
safety, cleanliness, and care of the Leased Premises and the Building, and the
comfort, quiet, and convenience of occupants of the Building provided that such
changes do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's operation in the Premises.
Such changes shall be effective upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant. In
the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease
and any of the rules and regulations as originally promulgated or as changed,
the provisions of this Lease shall control. (The rules and regulations, as
changed in accordance with this Section from time to time, are called the "Rules
and Regulations.")
(b) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon
Landlord any liability for the failure of any other tenant or other party to
comply with the Rules and Regulations or the provisions in any other lease, but
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the Rules and Regulations
uniformly.
Section 5.4. Permitted Weight Loads. Tenant shall not place in or move
----------------------
about the Leased Premises any article the weight of which exceeds the maximum
floor load limit for the Building, which is 100 pounds per square foot, without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Tenant proposes to bring any article exceeding this limit into the
Building, Landlord may engage an engineering consultant to advise Landlord
regarding the placement of the article and any requirements to support the
weight, and Tenant shall pay the fees of that consultant, any costs necessary to
comply with the consultant's recommendations, and any other costs incurred by
Landlord as a result of moving or placing the article in the Leased Premises.
Section 5.5. Signage. Tenant shall not install any sign in any window of
-------
the Leased Premises or any sign elsewhere in the Leased Premises which is
visible from the exterior of the Building. Any signs of Tenant in the Common
Area (as defined in Section 6.1) shall conform to the Building standard and
shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall have the right to install, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, a sign on the exterior of the Building, provided: (i)
Tenant makes the requisite submittals to Landlord required under Section 7.2 of
this Lease or in connection with the approval of Tenant's Work; (ii) Tenant
obtains any and all requirements of any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority with jurisdiction over the Building; and (iii) Tenant pays all costs,
fees and expenses in connection with the installation, maintenance, operations,
repair and removal of the sign (at the end of the Term). The size, location,
method of installation and all other matters in connection with the exterior
sign are subject to Landlord's prior written consent which will not be
unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE 6. COMMON AREA
Section 6.1. Control of Common Area.
----------------------
(a) As used in this Lease, the term "Common Area" shall mean that part of
the Building designated by Landlord as parking areas, sidewalks, landscaping,
curbs, driveways, delivery passages, private streets and alleys, lighting
facilities, and the like.
(b) Landlord grants Tenant a non-exclusive license for the Term to use and
occupy in common with the invitees of Landlord and Tenant and such other persons
as Landlord and Tenant shall designate, the Common Area, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Lease and to reasonable Rules and Regulations prescribed
from time to time by Landlord. Tenant shall not solicit business within the
Common Area or distribute handbills or take any action which would interfere
with the rights of other persons to use the Common Area.
(c) Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, without
incurring any liability to Tenant to change the arrangement, dimensions, and/or
location of the Common Areas. In such event. Landlord shall repair any physical
damage caused to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall, at all times, have access to
the Leased Premises, and no such changes shall unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's normal business operations in the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts during any construction associated with any such change
to prohibit any unreasonable interference with Tenant's normal business
operations in the Leased Premises.
Section 6.2. Parking. During the Term, Tenant and its employees shall have
-------
the right to use the number of parking spaces stipulated in Article 1, all on an
unassigned basis and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to
reasonable Rules and Regulations prescribed from time to time by Landlord,
including the designation of specified areas (which may change from
time-to-time, but in no event will be located outside a three block radius of
the Building) in which automobiles operated by Tenant and its employees shall be
parked. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall have the right to reduce the number of parking spaces
stipulated in Article 1, to no less than eight (8) spaces by delivering written
notice to Tenant of such reduction, which
6
reduction will take effect thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers written
notice to Tenant. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a
complete list of the license numbers of all automobiles operated by Tenant and
its employees. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a parking fee for the parking spaces
(the "Fee") In the amount of Thirty Five Dollars ($35.00) per space per month
plus a fiat fee for the Exclusive Spaces (as defined below) of Three Hundred
Fifteen Dollars ($315). The Fee shall equal the monthly charge per parking space
set forth above multiplied by the number of parking spaces to which Tenant is
then entitled plus Three Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($315) for the Exclusive
Spaces. All payments of the Fee shall be made as Additional Rent in advance,
without notice or set off, at Landlord's Notice Address, or at such place as
Landlord from time to time designates in writing. Tenant shall pay the Fee on
the Commencement Date and on the first day of each succeeding calendar month
during the initial Term or any extension thereof. If Tenant takes occupancy of
the Premises on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Fee for
the fractional month shall be prorated on a daily basis and shall be paid on the
date Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises. If Tenant fails to pay the Fee in a
timely manner, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies afforded it under
Section 16 hereof. The Fee for the parking spaces shall be due and payable in
full each month regardless of whether Tenant actually uses all or only a portion
of the parking spaces allocated for Tenant each month. Provided Tenant is not in
default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord will
designate that specific area located immediately contiguous to the east of the
Building (but to the west of the alley adjacent to thereto), as depicted on
Exhibit C, for Tenant's exclusive use during the Term of this Lease (the
"Exclusive Spaces") for parking spaces in addition to those noted above, and for
location of Tenant's Generator Pad authorized under the Rider.
ARTICLE 7. REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND MECHANICS' LIENS
Section 7.1. Repairs.
-------
(a) Landlord, at its expense, shall make all necessary repairs, interior or
exterior, structural or otherwise, to keep the Building, including building
equipment and systems, in good order and repair, excluding, however, all repairs
which Tenant is obligated to make pursuant to this Section 7.1. Tenant shall
give Landlord prompt notice of any defective condition in any plumbing, heating
system or electrical lines located in, servicing or passing through the Leased
Premises, and following such notice, Landlord shall remedy the condition with
due diligence, subject to unavoidable delay, but at the expense of Tenant if
repairs are necessitated by damage or injury attributable to Tenant, Tenant's
servants, agents, employees, invitees, or licensees; provided, however, that no
liability of Landlord to Tenant shall accrue under this Lease unless and until
Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the specific repair to be made.
(b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall take good care of the
Leased Premises, including all building equipment and systems located in and
exclusively serving the Leased Premises and Tenant's property and fixtures.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for all maintenance, repairs and replacement
of the roof of the Building. Tenant shall make and be responsible for all
repairs, interior or exterior, structural or otherwise, as and when needed to
preserve the Leased Premises, including such building equipment and systems, and
Tenant's property and fixtures, in good working order and condition, the need
for which arises out of (i) the performance or existence of any alteration or
modification to the Leased Premises made by Tenant, (ii) the installation, use
or operation of Tenant's property or fixtures, (iii) the moving of Tenant's
property or fixtures in or out of the Building or in and about the Leased
Premises, (iv) the acts, omission, negligence or misuse by Tenant or those
holding under Tenant, or their use or occupancy or manner or use or occupancy of
the Leased Premises or (v) as may be required by Article 5. All repairs made by
or on behalf of Tenant shall be made and performed in conformity with the
provisions of Section 7.2 and shall be at least equal in quality and class to
the original construction of the Leased Premises. If Tenant fails after 10 days'
notice by Landlord to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be
made by Tenant, the same may be made by Landlord at the expense of Tenant, and
the expenses of those repairs incurred by Landlord shall be reimbursed
immediately as Additional Rent after submission of a xxxx or statement for such
repairs.
Section 7.2. Alterations.
-----------
(a) Tenant shall make no alterations, additions, or improvements in or to
the Leased Premises without Landlord's prior written consent which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord will make good faith and commercially
reasonable efforts to respond within five (5) business day to any requested
alteration, addition or improvement proposed by Tenant, unless greater time is
required to allow engineers or other specialists time to review the submittal.
Any notice from Landlord stating that Landlord does not consent to any proposed
installation, alteration or improvement will specify the reasons for the
objection. Any contractors and sub-contractors chosen by Tenant to perform the
work in the Building or Leased Premises must be approved in advance by Landlord,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, unless the alteration, addition
or improvement involve the structural components of the Building or the Building
systems, in which case Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
require Tenant to hire contractors regularly engaged by Landlord to perform work
in the Building. Before making any alterations, additions, installations or
improvements, Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all permits, approvals and
certificates required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and (upon
completion) certificates of final approval thereof and shall deliver promptly
duplicates of all such permits, approvals and certificates to Landlord. Tenant
agrees to carry and to cause all contractors and sub-contractors hired by Tenant
to carry such workmen's compensation, general liability, personal and property
damage insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, and Landlord shall be named
as an additional insured on each of these policies. An increase in any taxes as
a result of such alterations by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.
(b) All fixtures and all paneling, partitions, railings and like
installations, alterations, additions and improvements installed in the Leased
Premises or on the Building at any time (including, but not limited to, those
items installed pursuant to Tenant's Work), either by Tenant or by Landlord on
Tenant's behalf, shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and
be surrendered with the Leased Premises unless Landlord, by notice to Tenant no
later than 20 days prior to the date fixed as the Expiration Date (or in the
event of termination of this Lease in advance of the Expiration Date, by notice
to Tenant given with the notice of termination), elects to have them removed by
Tenant, in which event, the same shall be removed from the Leased Premises by
Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will make its election regarding
removal of improvements at the time Landlord approves such improvements if such
election by Landlord is expressly requested in writing by Tenant at that time
and only in respect to certain specific improvements as determined by Landlord
in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that the
following items can be disconnected from any Building system without the need
for rewiring or reworking (as opposed to capping off a supplemental system in
connection with its removal) any Building system, or would require Landlord to
replace such Item to return the Building to a good and working condition, then
Tenant shall have the right to remove the supplemental generator, supplemental
HVAC unit, and the UPS system, if any, installed by Tenant as authorized under
this Lease. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to give Landlord title to
or to prevent Tenant's removal of trade fixtures, movable office furniture and
equipment (including, without limitation, Tenant's backup generators, UPS system
and portable HVAC units), but upon removal of any such furniture, equipment and
trade fixtures from the Leased Premises, Tenant shall return the Leased Premises
in a good and working condition which, at a minimum requires: (i) a HVAC system,
in a good and working condition, suitable to serve the entire Building for
general office purposes; (ii) capacity for electric current to the Building,
with a step down capability to provide 8 xxxxx per square foot in the Leased
Premises for normal office lighting and business machines which operate on
standard 110 voltage; and (iii) all other Building systems be in a good and
working condition to allow Landlord to utilize the Building
7
for standard office uses. Tenant will repair any damage to the Leased
Premises or the Building due to such removal. All property that was
permitted or required to be removed by Tenant at the end of the Term but
which remains in the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned and, at the
election of Landlord, Landlord may either retain the property as Landlord's
property or remove the property from the Leased Premises at Tenant's
expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease or the Rider to
the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to remove any installation,
alteration, addition or improvement if the removal of such item would: (i)
necessitate rewiring or reworking any Building system (as opposed to
capping off a supplemental system in connection with its removal); or (ii)
require Landlord to replace such item to return the Building to a good and
working condition as described above.
Section 7.3. Mechanics' Liens.
----------------
(a) Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all costs for work done or
caused to be done by Tenant in the Leased Premises which could result in
any lien or encumbrance on all or any part of Landlord's interest in the
Building; shall keep the title to the Building free and clear of any lien
or encumbrance in respect to such work; and shall indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord against any claim, loss, cause of action, cost, demand,
damages, judgment and legal or other expense (including without limitation
attorneys' fees), whether in respect of any lien or otherwise, arising out
of the supply of material, services or labor for such work. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord of any such lien, claim of lien or other action
of which it has or reasonably should have knowledge and which affects the
title to the Building, and shall cause the same to be removed or bonded
over as authorized by law within five (5) days (or such additional time as
Landlord may consent to in writing). If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may
take such action as Landlord deems necessary to remove the same, and the
entire cost of that action shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant
to Landlord as Additional Rent.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall desire to contest
any lien or claim of lien, it shall have the right to do so on the
condition that Tenant shall furnish Landlord, within the time stated above
for removal of such lien or claim of lien, security in an amount not less
than that required by statute in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
plus estimated costs, and if final judgment establishing the validity or
existence of a lien for any amount is established, Tenant shall immediately
pay and satisfy the same.
(c) At least 10 days prior to the commencement of any work by Tenant
on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice
of the proposed work and the names and addresses of the persons supplying
labor and materials for the proposed work so that Landlord may avail itself
of the provisions of statutes such as Colo. Rev. Stat. 38-22-105(2). During
any such work, Landlord or its representatives shall have the right to
enter and inspect the Leased Premises at reasonable times after notice as
required by Section 12.1, and shall have the right to post and keep posted
thereon notices such as those provided for by Colo. Rev. Stat. 38-22-105(2)
and to take any further action which Landlord may deem to be proper for the
protection of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE 8. UTILITIES AND BUILDING SERVICES
Section 8.1. Utilities and Services Provided.
-------------------------------
(a) Subject to limitations and restrictions imposed by federal, state
and/or local authorities and so long as Tenant is not in default under the
terms of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish or cause to be furnished
domestic cold and temperate water for the operation of lavatories and
ordinary drinking fountains in the Building.
(b) Tenant shall purchase, install, maintain, repair and replace, as
necessary, all light bulbs and fluorescent and other lighting tubes and ballasts
used in the Leased Premises. Landlord shall purchase, install, maintain, repair
and replace, as necessary, all light bulbs and fluorescent and other lighting
tubes and ballasts used in the common areas of the Building, and the cost of
such items and service shall be included in Operating Costs. Landlord may, at
intervals not shorter than 75% of the rated life of the fluorescent tubes being
used, cause all such tubes to be replaced at the same time, so as to maintain
full operating efficiency and so as to avoid the undue expense of piecemeal
replacement. No fluorescent tubes, other than standard warm and white types, may
be used.
(c) If heat generating machines or equipment (other than standard office
equipment, such as typewriters, calculators, and small reproduction machines)
are used in the Leased Premises which affect the temperature otherwise
maintained by the air-conditioning system, Tenant (provided it complies with the
requirements of Section 7.2 hereof) shall have the right to install
supplementary air-conditioning units for the Leased Premises at the expense of
Tenant, and Tenant will bear the cost of operating such equipment. Any
air-conditioning units required for Tenant's computer systems shall be installed
at the expense of Tenant, and the costs of operation and maintenance shall be
paid by Tenant.
(d) If Tenant uses or consumes water for any purposes other than ordinary
drinking and lavatory purposes, or in unusual quantities (of which fact Landlord
shall reasonably judge), Landlord may install a water meter at Tenant's expense
which Tenant shall thereafter maintain at Tenant's expense in good working order
and repair to register such water consumption. Tenant shall pay for water
consumed as shown on such meter as Additional Rent as and when bills are
rendered, and on Tenant's default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such
charges and collect the same as additional rent from Tenant. Such a meter shall
also be installed and maintained at Tenant's expense if required by law or
governmental order. Tenant shall not waste or permit the waste of water.
(e) Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant has
already contracted for and replaced the current electric transformer serving the
Building with a 480 volt transformer to serve the Leased Premises. Tenant hereby
acknowledges and agrees: (i) Landlord has no obligation or responsibility to
provide any capacity for electric current to the Leased Premises; (ii) Landlord
has no obligation or responsibility to provide any electricity service to the
Leased Premises; and (iii) Tenant will provide electric capacity to the Leased
Premises at the expiration or early termination of this Lease, as provided in
Section 7.2(b), with a step down capability of 6 xxxxx per square foot in the
Leased Premises for normal office lighting and business machines which operate
on standard 110 voltage. Subject to Landlord's review and approval as required
under this Lease and compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and codes
applicable to the Building, Tenant shall have the right to provide additional
capability for electric current to the Leased Premises. Landlord shall cooperate
with Tenant in connection with any such request by Tenant for additional power.
Section 8.2. Interruption of Services. Landlord does not warrant that any
------------------------
service will be free from interruptions caused by repairs, improvements, changes
of service, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, accidents,
inability to obtain fuel, water or supplies or other cause beyond the reasonable
control of Landlord. No such interruption of service shall be deemed an eviction
or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of all or any part of the Leased
Premises, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, by abatement of rent
or otherwise except as specifically provided below, or relieve Tenant from
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives and
releases all claims against Landlord for damages for interruption or stoppage of
service.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection above, if utility service
to the Leased Premises is interrupted so that Tenant is prevented from using the
Leased Premises for Tenant's normal business operations for five consecutive
business days, and the cause is within Landlord's control, then Fixed Rent shall
xxxxx beginning with the sixth business day and continuing until service is
restored, and if any such interruption causes the Leased Premises or any
material portion thereof to be unusable for Tenant's normal business operations
for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given after
8
the 90th day and prior to the time, if at all, such services are restored, in
which event both parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder.
However, Tenant will not be entitled to any abatement of Fixed Rent if the
interruption in utility service arises from (i) any renovation or alteration to
the Leased Premises conducted by Tenant or at Tenant's request, (ii) any
wrongful act or negligence on the part of Tenant or its contractors, agents,
employers or representatives, or (iii) the failure by Tenant to timely pay any
charges for such service and all other Rent due under this Lease. (For purposes
of this Lease, the Term "business day" means any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or Legal Holiday.)
Section 8.3. Energy Conservation and Security Policies. Landlord shall be
-----------------------------------------
deemed to have observed and performed the terms and conditions to be performed
by Landlord under this Lease, including those relating to the provision of
utilities and services, if in so doing it acts in accordance with a directive,
or requirement of a governmental or quasi-governmental authority serving the
public interest in the fields of energy conservation or security.
ARTICLE 9. TENANT'S PROPERTY TAX AND OTHER TAXES
In addition to the Fixed Rent and other Additional Rent to be paid by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for any
and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) whether or not
now customary or within the contemplation of Landlord and Tenant: (a) upon
or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of all or any part of the Leased
Premises; or (b) upon the measured value of Tenant's personal property located
in the Leased Premises, It being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that, to
the extent possible, such personal property taxes shall be billed to and paid
directly by Tenant; or (c) upon this transaction. Any reimbursement referred to
above shall be collectible by Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease.
ARTICLE 10. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
Section 10.1. Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall keep in force and effect
--------------------
(a) a policy of general liability, including bodily injury and property damages
insurance with limits in the amount of not less than $1,000,000 for any
occurrence and $2,000,000 policy aggregate; and (b) standard fire and extended
coverage property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building
(excluding Tenant Work but including the roof).
Section 10.2. Tenant's Insurance. At all times Tenant shall keep in full
------------------
force and effect a policy of general liability, including bodily injury and
property damage insurance with respect to the Leased Premises, in such limits as
reasonably required from time to time by Landlord. The limits of general
liability insurance on the Commencement Date shall be not less than $1,000,000
for any occurrence and $2,000,000 policy aggregate. These policies shall name
Landlord and any person, firm or corporation designated by Landlord as
additional insureds, and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel
or change the insurance without, first giving Landlord 30 days' prior written
notice. The insurance shall be written by an insurance company, licensed and
qualified to do business in Colorado, which is reasonably acceptable to
Landlord. A copy of the policy or a certificate of insurance shall be delivered
to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date and each anniversary of the
Commencement Date throughout the Term.
Section 10.3. Indemnity and Non-Liability.
---------------------------
(a) Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents, employees, contractors,
officers, directors, shareholders, partners, or principals (disclosed or
undisclosed) shall be liable to Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees,
contractors, invitees, or licensees or any other occupant of the Leased
Premises, and Tenant shall save Landlord, its successors and assigns and their
respective agents, employees, contractors, officers, directors, shareholders,

liability, cause of action, claim, damage, expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements), penalty, fine or judgment incurred in
connection with or arising from any injury to Tenant or to any other person or
for any damage to or loss (by theft or otherwise) of any of Tenant's property or
of the property of any other person, irrespective of the cause of such injury,
damage, or lose (including the acts or negligence of any tenant or of any owners
or occupants of adjacent or neighboring property or caused by operations in
construction of any private, public, or quasi-public work) unless due to the
negligence or intentional acts of Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees.
However, even if such loss or damage is caused by the negligence of Landlord,
its agents or employees, Tenant waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any
claim for consequential damages in connection therewith. Landlord and its agents
and employees shall not be liable, to the extent of Tenant's insurance coverage,
for any loss or damage to any person or property even if due to the negligence
or intentionally tortious conduct of Landlord, its agents or employees.

liability as may be imposed upon Landlord: (1) by law for Landlord's negligence
or the negligence of Landlord or its agents or employees in the operation or
maintenance of the Building or the Building equipment; or (2) for the breach by
Landlord of any express covenant of this Lease on Landlord's part to be
performed. No representation, guaranty, or warranty is made or assurance given
that the security systems, devices, or procedures of the Building will be
effective to prevent injury to Tenant or any other person or damage to, or loss
(by theft or otherwise) of, any of Tenant's property or of the property of any
other person, and Landlord reserves the right to discontinue or modify at any
time such security systems or procedures, if any, without liability to Tenant.
Landlord will provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice prior to
discontinuing or modifying such security systems. Tenant acknowledges that, as
of the date of this Lease, there is no security system in the Leased Premises.
Landlord will not add a security system without Tenant's consent.
(c) Subject to Paragraph 10.4 below, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend,
and hold Landlord, its employees, agents, and contractors harmless from all
liability, costs, or expenses, including attorneys' fees, on account of damage
to the person or property of any third party, including any other tenant in the
Building, to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its
employees, agents or contractors. Subject to Paragraph 10.4 below, Landlord
agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant, its employees, agents, and
contractors harmless from all liability, costs, or expenses, including
attorneys' fees, on account of damage to the person or property of any third
party, including any other tenant in the Building, to the extent caused by the
acts or omissions of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors.
(d) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, within five days
following rendition by Landlord to Tenant of bills or statements therefor, sums
equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, causes of action, claims, damages,
expenses, fines, penalties, and judgments referred to in this Section 10.3.

any of the terms of this Lease.

---------------------
this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any right of
recovery against the other party, its employees, agents, and contractors for any
loss or damage that
9
is caused by any peril covered by standard fire and extended coverage insurance
or any other insurance actually carried (or required to be carried under this
Lease) by the party suffering the loss or damage and in force at the time of
such loss or damage. Landlord and Tenant shall cause their respective insurers
to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights and endorsements to all
policies of insurance carried in connection with the Building or the Leased
Premises or the contents thereof. Tenant agrees to cause all other occupants of
the Leased Premises claiming by, under, or through Tenant to execute and deliver
to Landlord a waiver of claims as stated above and to obtain waivers of
subrogation rights and endorsements as stated above.
ARTICLE 11. DAMAGE BY CASUALTY
Section 11.1. Notice. Tenant shall give immediate written notice to
------
Landlord of any damage to the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty.
Section 11.2. Restoration of Improvements.
---------------------------
(a) in the event the Leased Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty,
unless this Lease is terminated as provided below, Landlord shall proceed with
reasonable diligence, at its sole cost and expense, to repair the Leased
Premises. If such repairs cannot, in Landlord's sole determination, be made
within 120 days after the occurrence of such damage (without the payment of
overtime or other premiums), Landlord shall notify Tenant within 30 days after
such casualty of the approximate length of time Landlord estimates will be
required to complete such repairs, and either party may terminate this Lease by
written notice to the other within 15 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of the
estimated time for completion of such repairs. Until any such repairs to the
Leased Premises are completed, the Fixed Rent shall be abated in proportion to
the part of the Leased Premises, if any, that is unusable by Tenant in the
conduct of its business (but there shall be no abatement of Fixed Rent by reason
of any portion of the Leased Premises being unusable for a period of five
business days or less). If the fire or other casualty is due to the negligence
or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, there
shall be no abatement of Fixed Rent, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for
the amount by which the cost of such repairs exceeds the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord or the amount of insurance proceeds that would have been
received by Landlord had Landlord maintained the insurance required under this
Lease, whichever is greater. If any deadline for the giving of any notice
required from Landlord under this Section or for the completion of repairs is
delayed because of (a) insurance settlement procedures, (b) failure of any
mortgagees to agree to or approve the repair, changes, deletions or additions in
construction requested by Tenant, or (c) strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of
God, war, material or labor shortages, government regulations or control or
other causes beyond the control of Landlord, then the period for the giving of
such notice or the completion of such repair shall be extended for the amount of
time Landlord is so delayed.
(b) If the Building or the Leased Premises shall be totally destroyed or
substantially damaged by a casualty or if insurance proceeds from any insured
casualty shall not be made available to Landlord by the holder of any mortgages
affecting the Building, then, in either event, Landlord may elect either to
rebuild and repair the Building and the Leased Premises or to terminate this
Lease, effective upon giving notice of such election, in writing, to Tenant
within 30 days after the occurrence of such casualty. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Building shall be deemed to have been
substantially damaged if more than one-third of the rentable square feet of the
Building (as stated In Article 1) has been damaged or destroyed or if the
Building shall be so damaged that Landlord shall decide to demolish it. Damage
to the Building or the Leased Premises caused by a casualty not covered by
Landlord's insurance shall be deemed substantial if the cost of repairing such
damage will, in Landlord's sole determination, exceed $50,000. Landlord's
obligation to rebuild and repair under this Section shall in any event be
limited to restoring the Building and the Leased Premises to substantially the
condition in which they existed prior to the casualty. In no event shall
Landlord be required to repair any of Tenant's leasehold improvements, fixtures,
equipment, furniture, furnishings, and personal property, and Tenant agrees
that, promptly after the completion of such work by Landlord, it will proceed
with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild, repair,
and restore its fixtures, equipment and other installations.
Section 11.3. Damage During Last Year of Lease Term. Without limiting
-------------------------------------
Landlord's rights under Section 11.2, in the event the Leased Premises shall be
substantially damaged, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, during the last year
of the Term, Landlord may elect either to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises
or to terminate this Lease effective upon giving notice of such election, in
writing, to Tenant within 30 days after the happening of the fire or other
casualty.
ARTICLE 12. RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD
Section 12.1. Access to Leased Premises. Landlord and Landlord's agents
-------------------------
shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the Leased Premises
in any emergency at any time, and to perform any acts related to the safety,
protection or preservation of the Leased Premises. Landlord shall give such
notice of such entry as is reasonable under the circumstances to prevent damage
to or interfere with any of Tenant's equipment in the Leased Premises. At other
reasonable times, and upon reasonable notice, Landlord and its agents may enter
the Leased Premises to examine them and make such repairs, replacements and
improvements as Landlord may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to the
Leased Premises or to any other portion of the Building or for the purpose of
complying with laws, regulations and other requirements of governmental
authorities. Landlord may, during the progress of any work in the Leased
Premises, take all necessary materials and equipment into the Leased Premises
and close or temporarily suspend operation of entrances, doors, corridors,
elevators or other facilities without such interference constituting an
eviction. Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent or any damages
by reason of loss or interruption of business or otherwise during such periods.
During such periods, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any
interference with Tenant's use of the Leased Premises for its normal business
operations. Tenant shall at all times have access to the Leased Premises.
Throughout the Term, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises
at reasonable hours, and upon reasonable notice, for the purposes of showing the
same to prospective purchasers and mortgagees, and during the last six months of
the Term, to prospective tenants. Also during the last six months of the Term,
Landlord may place "For Rent" notices upon the Common Areas and exterior
portions of the Building. If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry
into the Leased Premises, Landlord or Landlord's agents may enter the same
whenever such entry may be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly,
provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Tenant's property. Such entry
shall not render Landlord or its agents liable, nor shall the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease be affected by such entry unless Landlord fails to use
reasonable care in such entry.
Section 12.2. Relocation of Leased Premises. [Intentionally Omitted]
-----------------------------
Section 12.3. Additional Rights. Landlord shall have the following
-----------------
additional rights exercisable without notice (except as provided below) and
without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, personal business,
all claims for damage being hereby released, and without effecting an eviction
or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Leased Premises or giving
rise to any claim for setoffs or abatement of Rent. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's use of the Leased
Premises for its normal business operations and Tenant shall at all times have
access to the Leased Premises:
(a) Upon 30 days' notice, to change the name, number or designation by
which the Building may be known;
(b) To make such changes in or to the Building, including the Building
equipment and systems, as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable,
provided that any such change does not deprive Tenant of a reasonable means
of access to the Leased Premises or interfere with the use of the Leased
Premises, or interfere with any supplemental system installed by Tenant
hereunder;
(c) To have access to all mail chutes, if any, according to the rules of
the United States Postal Service or any successor
10
(d) To exclude or expel any peddler, solicitor or beggar at any time from
the Leased Premises or the Building;
(e) To approve the weight, size and location of safes, and other heavy
articles in and about the Leased Premises and the Building or Tenant
agreeing that Tenant shall not install such items until Tenant has obtained
that approval in writing which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
ARTICLE 13. EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 13.1. Taking of Leased Premises. If all of the Leased Premises
-------------------------
shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right
of eminent domain, or purchased under threat of such taking, this Lease shall
automatically terminate on the date on which the condemning authority takes
possession of the Leased Premises (the "Date of Taking"). If so much of the
Leased Premises (but less than all) is taken as shall render the Leased Premises
untenantable, Tenant shall have the right to terminate within thirty (30) days
after the Date of Taking.
Section 13.2. Partial Taking of Building. If only part of the Building is
--------------------------
taken or purchased as set out in Section 13.1, then:
(a) If in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, substantial alteration or
reconstruction (or demolition) of the Building is necessary as a result of
the taking or purchase, whether or not the Leased Premises are or may be
affected, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
Tenant at least thirty (30) days' written notice of such termination, and
(b) If more than one-third of the rentable square feet of the Building is
included in such taking or purchase, Landlord and Tenant shall each have
the right to terminate this Lease by giving the other at least 30 days'
written notice thereof.
If either party exercises its right of termination under Section 13.1 or
13.2 (and any such right must be exercised within 30 days after the Date of
Taking, failing which such right shall be deemed waived), this Lease shall
terminate on the date stated in the notice, provided, however, that no such
termination may occur later than 60 days after the Date of Taking.
Section 13.3. Surrender. On the date of any termination under Section 13.1
---------
or 13.2, Tenant shall immediately surrender to Landlord the Leased Premises and
all interests under this Lease, and Tenant shall pay Landlord Rent through the
date of termination (or through the Date of Taking, if such date shall not be
the same as the date of termination).
Section 13.4. Rent Adjustment for Partial Taking of Leased Premises. If any
-----------------------------------------------------
portion of the Leased Premises (but less than the whole thereof) is so taken,
and no rights of termination conferred under this Article are timely exercised,
the Term shall expire with respect to the portion so taken on the Date of
Taking. In such event, the Rent thereafter payable under this Lease shall be
adjusted pro rata by Landlord in order to account for the resulting reduction In
the number of rentable square feet In the Leased Premises.
Section 13.5. Awards. Upon any such taking or purchase, Landlord shall be
------
entitled to receive and retain the entire award or consideration for the
affected lands and improvements, and Tenant shall not have or advance any claim
against Landlord for the value of its property or its leasehold estate of the
unexpired Term, or for the costs of removal or relocation, or business
interruption expense or any other damages arising out of such taking or
purchase. Nothing in this Article shall give Landlord any interest in or
preclude Tenant from seeking and recovering on its own account, a separate award
from the condemning authority attributable to the taking or purchase of Tenant's
trade fixtures and any tenant improvements paid for by Tenant, or the removal or
relocation of its business and effects, or the interruption of its business,
provided that Landlord's award is not diminished by the separate award. If any
such award made or compensation paid to either party specifically includes an
award amount for the other, the party first receiving the same shall promptly
account therefor to the other.
ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 14.1. Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge,
----------------
encumber or in any manner transfer this Lease or any part of the Leased
Premises, or allow any third party to occupy the Leased Premises, without the
prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold. Any attempt to do any of such acts without such consent
shall be null and void and of no effect. A transfer of control of Tenant,
including but not limited to a transfer of stock if Tenant is a corporation
(unless pursuant to a legitimate capital restructuring, i.e. an IPO) shall be
deemed an assignment under this Lease and shall be subject to all the provisions
of this Article, including the requirement of obtaining Landlord's prior written
consent. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, mortgage, pledge,
encumbrance, transfer, subletting or occupancy by a third party shall not
constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent
assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer, subletting or occupancy by
a third party. This prohibition against assigning, mortgaging, pledging,
encumbering, transferring, subletting occupancy by a third party shall be
construed to include a prohibition against any assignment, mortgage; pledge,
encumbrance, transfer, subletting or occupancy by a third party by operation of
law.
If this Lease is assigned, or if all or any part of the Leased Premises or
any part is sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may
collect Rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount
collected to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent reserved under this Lease, but
no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver
of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its
covenants in this Lease.
Notwithstanding any assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer,
sublease or occupancy by a third party, Tenant shall remain fully liable on this
Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease.
Further, any consent to a sublease or other occupancy agreement shall be
conditioned upon Landlord recovering fifty percent (50%) of the difference, if
any, between the Fixed Rent paid by the sublessee or occupant (less brokerage
commissions and tenant improvement allowance) over the Fixed Rent due the
Landlord under this Lease, and any consent to an assignment shall be conditioned
upon receipt of fifty percent (50%) of any premium fee or other charge paid by
the proposed assignee to the Tenant.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, without otherwise limiting the grounds
under this Lease or applicable law on which Landlord may reasonably withhold its
consent to any request by Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased
Premises or otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease or right to occupy the
Leased Premises, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to
any such request to an assignment, sublease or other transfer if,
(1) the use of the Leased Premises contemplated by the proposed
transferee would significantly increase the pedestrian and/or vehicular
traffic in and around the Building or would generally not conform with the
other tenant uses in the Building, or
(2) The financial strength and business reputation of the proposed
transferee is unacceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion.
11
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that the
Leased Premises may not be used for welfare agencies: medical offices;
counseling clinics; employment agencies; parole offices; call services;
telephone bank offices; governmental offices; travel agencies; merchandise
sales; storage of merchandise; safe deposit businesses: recording, dance or
music studios; labor unions; beauty salons or xxxxxx shops; schools; public
stenographers' or typists' offices; businesses of photographic or multilith or
multigraph reproductions or offset printing (not precluding, however, the use of
part of a leased space for the tenant's own printing In connection with its own
business operations); executive suites; preparation of food for sale on or off
of the premises; sale of food; and businesses dealing generally with the public
so as to generate a large amount of foot traffic within or around the Building.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained hereinabove In this
Section 14, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord's prior
written consent, to assign or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to the
following parties on the following conditions: (A) Any subsidiary or affiliate
of Tenant, provided Tenant owns a substantial interest In such affiliate or
subsidiary; (B) Any parent corporation of Tenant; (C) Any subsidiary or
affiliate of Tenant's parent corporation if such parent owns a substantial
interest In such subsidiary or affiliate; or (D) Any corporation into which
Tenant may be merged or consolidated or which purchases all or substantially all
of the assets or stock of Tenant; provided that the resulting corporation has a
net worth at least equal to Tenant's net worth as of the date hereof. Tenant's
rights hereunder are further conditioned on: (i) Tenant continues to remain
primarily liable on its obligations set forth herein; (ii) Any such subtenant
and/or assignee shall assume and be bound by all obligations of Tenant for
payment of all amounts of rental and other sums and the performance of all
covenants required by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; (iii) Any such subtenant
and/or assignee intends to operate the Premises in accordance with the usage
restrictions of thIs Lease; and (iv) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of such transaction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of
the documents evidencing such transaction and such evidence as Landlord may
reasonably require to establish that such transaction falls within the terms and
provisions of this subparagraph. A transfer of stock of Tenant shall not be
deemed an assignment under this Lease unless such transfer (i) is made without
receipt of adequate consideration therefor (including, without limitation, the
value of services); and (ii) results in a change of control of management of
Tenant. If Tenant becomes a publicly traded company, then in no event shall any
transfer of stock via the publicly recognized over the counter exchange be
deemed an assignment under this provision.
