Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Rental abatement shall not, in all events, exceed the sum of one year's payment of Base Rental. Except for the possible abatement in Base Rental, Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Lessor as to such matters.

Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.

LESSOR LIABILITY
20.1
Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be considered in default or breach of this Lease for the non-performance of any obligation imposed herein unless Lessee provides Lessor with written notice of said non-performance and:
(a)
If said non-performance relates solely to the non-payment of money, Lessor fails to perform within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice.
(b)
If said non-performance does not relate solely to the non-payment of money, if Lessor fails to commence performance within said 30-day period and diligently continue such performance until the obligation for which performance is being rendered is fulfilled.
If Lessor grants a security interest in this Lease to any person or entity and if Lessee has been notified in writing of the name and address of said lienholder, then Lessee shall, simultaneously upon giving any notice of non-performance to Lessor deliver a copy of same to each such lienholder, by personal delivery or certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid. Notwithstanding Article 31 below, notices sent by mail pursuant to this Article 20.1 shall be deemed delivered only upon actual receipt thereof by such lienholder. Each such lienholder shall be entitled to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any period of time within which Lessor is entitled to perform such obligation.
20.2
Sale of Lessor's Interest. In the event of any sale or conveyance of Lessor's interest in this Lease, Lessor shall be entirely relieved of all liability for Lessor's obligations under this Lease accruing thereafter, and the assignee or purchaser shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest, to have assumed all of the duties and obligations of Lessor under this Lease accruing after such conveyance.

No Liability for Loss, Theft, Etc. Lessor shall not be liable for any loss, theft, or damage to property or business or injury to or death of Lessee, its employees, agents, contractors, customers or invitees, on or about the Premises, including without limitation fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, any act or omission of co-tenants or other occupants of the Project or of adjoining or contiguous property or buildings, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Premises or the Building or from the pipes, tanks, appliances or plumbing works therein, or from the roof, street or subsurface, or from any other place.

Lessee shall give prompt notice to Lessor of any fire, accident or defect discovered within the Premises or the Project.
20.4
Liability of Lessor. If Lessor shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease that Lessor is obligated to perform and, as a consequence of such non-performance, Lessee shall receive a money judgement against Lessor, such judgement shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgement and levy thereon against the right, title and interest of Lessor in the Project and out of rents or other income from the Project receivable by Lessor, or out of the consideration received by Lessor from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Lessor's right, title and interest in the Project. Neither Lessor nor any of the members, officers, directors, employees or agents of the Lessor shall be liable for any deficiency.
21.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
21.1
Lessor's Consent Required. Lessee shall not convey, transfer, sublease, assign, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of this Lease or any right, title or interest therein, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lessor. Any such assignment or subletting shall be void and/or terminate this Lease, at the option of Lessor, thereby giving Lessor the right to immediately exercise any of the remedies contained in Article 32.2. The consent by Lessor to any assignment or other disposition shall not be construed as consent to any other assignment or disposition. In the event Lessor approves any assignment or subletting by Lessee, it is hereby agreed by Lessor and Lessee that Lessee shall not realize any financial gain resulting from any increase in the rental value of the Premises. Therefore, as a condition of any assignment or subletting, it is agreed by the parties that Lessor shall receive all consideration due or to become due to Lessee from any assignee or Sublessee with respect to such assignment or subletting, including without limitation, the full and complete rental payments paid by such assignee or Sublessee, including any amounts paid in excess of Lessee's financial obligations under this Lease.
21.2
No Release of Lessee. Regardless of whether Lessor's consent is granted, no subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. In the event of default by any assignee or successor of Lessee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or successor.
21.3
Attorneys' Fees. In the event Lessor is asked to consent to a sublease or assignment under Article 21hereof, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with reviewing the information regarding the proposed assignee and the documenting and granting of such consent. Lessor may request and Lessee shall advance, upon such request, the estimated costs for said attorney's fees.
21.4
Corporations, Associations and Partnerships. If Lessee is a corporation, an unincorporated association or a partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Article 21. Lessee shall have the right without Lessor's consent to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to any corporation into which or with which Lessee merges or consolidates and to any parent or wholly-owned subsidiary corporation, provided that the resulting entity from such merger or consolidation shall have a net worth not less than Lessee's prior to the merger, and provided further that any such assignee shall deliver to Lessor a copy of a document satisfactory to Lessor by which such assignee agrees to assume and perform all of the terms and conditions of this Lease on Lessee's part from and after the effective date of such assignment.
21.5
No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, a mutual cancellation of this Lease, or the termination of this Lease by Lessor pursuant to any provision contained herein, shall not work as a merger, but, at Lessor's option, shall either terminate any or all existing subleases hereunder, or operate as an assignment to Lessor of any such subleases.

In the event additions, alterations or other accommodations to the Premises, building wherein the Premises are located, or Common Areas are required as a result of Lessee's actions, which would not otherwise be required of Lessor by the ADA, Lessee shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its successors and assigns for, from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to such action.
22.

Lessor reserves the right to charge fees for use of the conference room(s) to require advance sign-up or reservations and to monitor use of the conference rooms, as it deems necessary in order to allow reasonable use of said conference room(s) for all occupants of the Project. At any time, Lessor may close any common areas to perform any acts that are reasonable or desirable, in Lessor's judgment, relative to the Project.

32.2
Remedies. In the event of any such default or breach by Lessee, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise the following rights and remedies at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any other right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a)
Lessor shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises, without liability to any person or entity for damages sustained by reason of such removal. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee. Should Lessor elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, it may either terminate this Lease, or it may from time to time, without termination of this Lease, relet the premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may lease other space in the Project prior to reletting or attempting to relet the Premises. Should Lessor elect to terminate this Lease, Lessor shall immediately be entitled to recover from Lessee as damages the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of rental and other amounts payable by Lessee for the balance of the term of this Lease if it were not terminated shall exceed the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for such period, in addition to recovering all rental due but unpaid, if any. Should Lessor elect to relet the Premises, upon such reletting, the rents received by Lessor shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied to payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the rents received from such reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall immediately pay any such deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
(b)
Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to render the performance required to cure such default or breach and to charge to Lessee all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date incurred at the rate provided below, and Lessee shall immediately pay the same upon presentment of a statement to Lessee indicating the amount thereof.
(c)
No remedy herein conferred upon Lessor shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, and the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, including, but not limited to, the right to maintain an action to recover all amounts due hereunder. Lessor may exercise its rights and remedies at any time, in any order, to any extent, and as often as Lessor deems advisable. No delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein. No waiver of a default shall be effective unless it is in writing.

In addition to every other remedy available to Lessor, Lessor may, in the event of default as defined in this Article 32, obtain the appointment of a receiver in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the receiver may take possession of the Premises and any personal property belonging to the Lessee and used in the conduct of the business of Lessee being carried on in the Premises. Lessee agrees that the entry or possession by said receiver of the Premises and said personal property shall not constitute an eviction of Lessee from the Premises or any portion thereof, and Lessee hereby agrees to hold Lessor safe and harmless from any claim by any person arising out of or in any way connected with the entry by said receiver in taking possession of the Premises and/or said personal property. Neither the application for the appointment of such receiver, nor the appointment of such receiver, shall be construed as an election on Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee.
(e)
In addition to the above remedies for default, Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to declare the Base Rental set forth in Article 3 for the entire term of this Lease, to be accelerated and immediately due and payable. If Lessor exercises its option and collects all such Base Rental and taxes thereon, Lessor shall not terminate this Lease on account of the default which gave rise to the acceleration and shall not re-enter or take possession of the Premises for such default. Such full recovery of the Base Rental shall be treated as a prepayment of such rent and shall not in any manner relieve Lessee of its obligations to pay any additional rent reserved in this Lease, to perform all obligations of Lessee required by this Lease, or to pay the amount of any additional rental pursuant to Article 4 at the yearly and monthly times such payments required pursuant to Article 3. Such acceleration and full recovery shall not restrict in any way the right of Lessor to exercise any other remedy or remedies above set forth in this Lease. If this Lease provides for a postponement of any monthly rental payments, a period of "free" rent or other rent concession, such postponed rent or "free" rent is called the "Abated Rent". Lessee shall be credited with having paid all of the Abated Rent on the expiration of the Lease term, only if the Lessee has fully, faithfully and punctually performed all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, including the payment of all Base Rental, Additional Rent, Pro Rata Share, and all other monetary obligations in the surrender of the Premises in the physical condition required by this Lease. Lessee acknowledges that its rights to receive credit for the Abated Rent is absolutely conditional upon Lessee's full, faithful and punctual performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Lessee defaults and does not cure within the applicable grace period, the Abated Rent shall immediately become due and payable in full and this Lease shall be enforced as if there were no such rent abatement or rent concession. In such case, such Abated Rent shall be calculated based on the full initial rent payable under this Lease.
32.3
No Acceptance of Surrender. No act or conduct of Lessor, whether consisting of the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance by Lessor of the surrender of the Premises by Lessee prior to the expiration of the term hereof, and such acceptance by Lessor of surrender by Lessee shall only flow from, and must be evidenced by, written acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by Lessor.
32.4
Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be very difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of rental or other amount due to Lessor hereunder shall not be received by Lessor within five (5) days after the due date therefor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or such other amount. If the payment is not cured within twenty (20) days, an additional ten percent (10%) of that amount shall be paid as an additional late charge. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee, and shall be in addition to any interest which may accrue thereon pursuant to Article 32.5 below.
32.5
Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Any amount due to Lessor which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the greater of, (i) 18% per annum, or (ii) a variable rate per annum equal to four (4) percentage points in excess of the Prime Rate designated by Bank One, from time to time during the period said amounts are owed to Lessor. For the purposes of this Lease, the term Prime Rate shall mean the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank One, as the same may be changed from time to time. If for any reason Bank One, shall at any time discontinue quoting or charging a Prime Rate in the manner set forth above, Lessor shall, in the exercise of reasonable judgement, substitute another means of determining the annual lending rate of interest charged by major commercial banks on 90-day unsecured commercial loans to their most credit-worthy borrowers, and the rate of interest as thus determined shall thereafter be the Prime Rate as that term is used herein. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease.
32.6
No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the rent or other sum provided to be paid shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent or any other sum due and payable under this Lease, nor shall any endorsement or statement or any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other sum due and payable be deemed an accord and satisfaction, unless expressly agreed to, in writing, by Lessor. Lessor may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance of such rents or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

Any Landlord who transfers its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease to be performed on or after the date of transfer.

Guarantor does hereby agree as follows:
1.
Guarantor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee and promise to Lessor Lessor's rights under this Paragraph 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease.
2.
The liability of Guarantor and all rights, powers and remedies of Lessor hereunder and the liability and obligations of Lessee and all rights, powers and remedies of Lessor under the lease and under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Lessor by law.
3.
The Guaranty applies to, inures to the benefit of and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, devisees, legatees, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns (including any purchased at judicial foreclosure or trustee's sale or a holder of a deed in lieu thereof). This Guaranty may be assigned by Lessor voluntarily or by operation of law without reducing or modifying the liability of Guarantor hereunder.
4.
This Guaranty shall constitute the entire agreement between Guarantor and Lessor with respect to the Guarantor's guaranty of performance of all of Lessee's obligations under the Lease. No provision of the Guaranty or right of Lessor hereunder may be waived under nor may any guarantor be released from any obligation hereunder except by writing duly executed by an authorized officer, director, trustee or partner of Lessor.
5.
If more than one person signs this Guaranty, each such person shall be deemed a Guarantor and the obligation of all such Guarantors shall be joint and several. When the context and construction so requires, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural. The word "person" as used herein shall include an individual, company, firm, associate, partnership, corporation, trust or other legal entity of any kind whatsoever.
6.
Should any one or more provisions of the Guaranty be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions shall, nevertheless, be effective.
7.
The wavier or failure to enforce any provision of the Guaranty shall not operate as waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provisions hereof.
8.
If either Lessor or Guarantor participates in an action against the other, arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty, the one prevailing shall be entitled to have and recover from the other, reasonable attorney's fees, collection costs and other costs incurred in and in preparation for the actions.
9.

If Guarantor executes this Guaranty as a corporation, each of the persons executing this Guaranty on behalf of the corporation covenant and warrants that the corporation is a duly authorized and existing corporation, that the corporation has and is qualified to transact business in the State of Arizona, that the corporation has full right, authority and power to enter into this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder, that each person signing this Guaranty on behalf of the corporation is authorized to do so and that this Guaranty is binding upon the corporation in accordance with its terms.

11.
In the event Lessee shall become insolvent or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, or shall file a petition for reorganization, arrangement or other relief under any present or future provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if such a petition is filed by creditors of Lessee, or if Lessee shall seek a judicial readjustment of the rights of its creditors under any present or future Federal or State law, or if a receiver of all or part of Lessee's property or assets if appointed by the State or Federal court, no such proceeding or action taken therein shall modify, diminish, or in any way affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the liability of Guarantor with respect to the Lease shall be of the same scope as if Guarantor had itself executed the lease as the named Lessee therein, and no "rejection" and/or "termination" of the Lease in any of the proceedings referred to in this Paragraph 16 shall be effective to release and/or terminate the continuing liability of Guarantor to Lessor under this Guaranty. If, in connection with any of the circumstances referred to in this Paragraph 16 Lessor should request that Guarantor execute a new lease for the balance of the Lease Term (unaffected by any such "rejection" and /or "termination" in any of such proceedings), but in all other respects identical with the Lease, Guarantor shall do so as the named Lessee under such new lease (irrespective of the fact that the Lease may have been "rejected" or "terminated" in connection with any of the proceedings referred to in this Paragraph 16). Should Guarantor fail or refuse to execute such a new lease, without limiting any of the legal or equitable remedies available to Lessor on account of such failure or refusal, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lessor may seek specific performance of the covenant of Guarantor contained in this Paragraph 16 to execute such a new lease.
12.
Any legal action or proceeding with the respect to this Guaranty may be brought in the courts of the State of Arizona or, if the requisites of jurisdiction are obtained, of the United States of America for the District of Arizona and, by the execution and the delivery of the Guaranty, Guarantor hereby accepts for itself and respect for its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts. Nothing herein shall, however, affect the right of the Lessor to commence legal action or otherwise proceed against Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.
