reason Landlord can deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on said date
and subject to paragraph 3.2.2, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability
therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the
obligations of Tenant hereunder or extend the term hereof; but, in such case,
Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent or perform any other obligation of
Tenant under the terms of this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in
this Lease, until possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant, as
hereinafter defined, provided, however, that if Landlord shall not have
delivered possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days following said
Commencement Date, as the same may be extended under the terms of a Work Letter,
if any, executed by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant may, at Tenant's option, by
written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease,
in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder,
except that Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred for
Non-Standard Improvements and Landlord shall return any money previously
deposited by Tenant (less any offsets due Landlord for Non-Standard
Improvements). If Tenant's written notice is not received by Landlord within
said ten (10) day period, Tenant's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect.
3.2.1 Possession Tendered - Defined. Possession of the Premises shall be deemed
tendered to Tenant ("Tender of Possession") when (1) the improvements to be
provided by Landlord under this Lease are substantially completed, (2) the
Building utilities are ready for use in the Premises, (3) Tenant has reasonable
access to the Premises, and (4) ten (10) days shall have expired following
advance written notice to Tenant of the occurrence the matters described in (1),
(2) and (3), above of this paragraph 3.2.1.
3.2.2 Delays Caused by Tenant. There shall be no abatement of Rent, and the
sixty (60) day period following the Commencement Date before which Tenant's
right to cancel this Lease accrues under paragraph 3.2, shall be deemed extended
to the extent of any delays caused by acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant's
agents, employees and contractors.
3.3 Early Possession. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to said Commencement
Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this Lease, such
occupancy shall not change the termination date, and Tenant shall pay Rent for
such occupancy.
3.4 Uncertain Commencement. In the event commencement of the Lease term is
defined as the completion of the improvements, Tenant and Landlord shall execute
an amendment to this Lease establishing the date of Tender of Possession (as
defined in paragraph 3.2.1) or the actual taking of possession by Tenant,
whichever first occurs, as the Commencement Date.
4. Rent.
4.1 Base Rent. Subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 4.3 and except as
may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the
Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the Basic Lease
Provisions, without offset or deduction. Tenant shall pay Landlord upon
execution of this Lease the advance Base Rent described in paragraph 1.9 of the
Basic Lease Provisions. Rent for any period during the term which is for less
than one month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the
calendar month involved. Rent shall be payable on the first day of each month in
lawful money of the United States to Landlord at the address stated herein or to
such other persons or at such other places as Landlord may designate in writing.
4.2 Operating Expense Increase. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the term of
this Lease Tenant's Share, as defined in paragraph 4.2(a), of all estimated
increases in Operating Expenses, as defined in paragraph 4.2(b), above the Base
Allowance, as defined in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Payments
of Tenant's Share in excess of the Base Allowance are due and payable monthly on
the same date as the Base Rent. Tenant's Share of the increase may be adjusted
by Landlord on a quarterly basis should the actual Operating Expenses exceed the
then current estimates. Within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each
calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed
statement showing the actual increase/decrease in Operating Expenses over the
Base Allowance for the prior year. If payments made by Tenant pursuant to this
paragraph are less than or exceed the amounts shown in any statement then
Tenant's account will be adjusted to reflect the amounts due. All deficiencies
are payable upon receipt of invoice and all credits will be applied by Landlord
to the next installment of Operating Expense reimbursement. Concurrently, with
the remittance of the prior year statement, or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably possible, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the then current year's
estimate of Operating Expenses as well as the monthly payment due thereon. Any
deficiencies in the monthly xxxxxxxx that may have accrued from either the
commencement date of the Lease or the first day of any subsequent calendar year,
shall be due and payable upon receipt by Tenant of an invoice from Landlord.
(a) "Tenant's Share" is set forth in paragraph 1.11 and is calculated
by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises by the total
rentable square footage of the Building as defined by Landlord. It is
understood and agreed that the square footage figures are
approximations which Landlord and Tenant agree are reasonable and shall
not be subject to revision except in connection with an actual change
in the size of the Premises or a change in the space available for
lease in the Building. Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph
to the contrary, if the occupancy of the Building or the Office
Building Project during any calendar year (including the calendar year
in which the Base Allowance is calculated) of the term of this Lease is
less than ninety-five percent (95%), then Operating Expenses for such
year shall be "grossed up" to that amount of Operating Expenses that,
using reasonable projections, would normally be expected to be incurred
during such year if the Building and/or the Office Building Project
were ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. Landlord shall provide in the
annual statement given to Tenant in respect of increases/decreases in
Operating Expenses an explanation as to how the Operating Expenses were
grossed up. Only those components of Operating Expenses that are
affected by variations in occupancy levels shall be grossed up.
(b) "Operating Expense(s)" is defined to include all costs incurred by
Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, for:
(i) The operation, repair, maintenance, and replacement, in
a neat, clean, safe, good order and condition, of the Office
Building Project, including but not limited to, the
following:

coverings, decorative items, carpets, drapes and
window coverings, and including parking areas,
loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways,
sidewalks, walkways, stairways, parkways,
driveways, landscaped areas, striping, bumpers,
irrigation systems, lighting facilities, building
exteriors and roofs, fences and gates;
(bb) All heating, air conditioning, plumbing,
electrical systems, life safety equipment,
telecommunications equipment, elevators and
escalators, lessee directories, fire detection
systems, sprinkler systems and other equipment used
in common by, or for the benefit of, occupants of
the Office Building Project;
(ii) Trash disposal, janitorial and security services;
(iii) Any other service to be provided by Landlord that

Expense";

and boiler and machinery insurance, if carried) maintained
by Landlord;
(v) Real property taxes payable by Landlord under
paragraph 10.1;
(vi) Water, sewer, gas, electricity, and other publicly
mandated services to the Office Building Project;
(vii) Wages, salaries and applicable fringe benefits and
materials, supplies and tools, used in maintaining and
cleaning the Office Building Project;
(viii) Maintaining and auditing accounting records and a
management fee attributable to the operation of the Office
Building Project;
(ix) Replacing and/or adding improvements mandated by any
governmental agency and any repairs or removals necessitated
thereby amortized over their useful life as determined in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord's accountant (including
interest on the unamortized balance as reasonably determined
by Landlord's accountant);
(x) Replacing equipment or improvements that have a useful
life for depreciation purposes of five (5) years or less, as
determined in the reasonable judgment of Landlord's
accountant, amortized over such life (including interest on
the unamortized balance as reasonably determined by
Landlord's accountant);
(xi) Replacing and/or adding any equipment, device or capital
improvement to reduce operation or maintenance expenses with
respect to the Office Building Project, amortized over its
useful life as determined in the reasonable judgment of
Landlord's accountant (including interest on the unamortized
balance as reasonably determined by Landlord's accountant).
(c) Operating Expenses shall not include replacement of equipment or
improvements having a useful life in excess of five (5) years as
determined in the reasonable judgment of Landlord's accountant unless
they are the type described in paragraph 4.2(b)(ix) or (xi), in which
case their cost shall be included as above provided.
(d) Notwithstanding the calculation of Tenant's Share and anything else
set forth in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant be required to pay
more than Tenant's Share of the Building's proportionate share of
Operating Expenses not exclusively related to the Building (which
Building's proportionate share shall be calculated based on a ratio,
the numerator of which the rentable square footage of the all Building
and the denominator of which is the rentable square footage of all the
buildings in the Office Building Project including the Building).
4.4 Definition of Rent. The capitalized term "Rent", as used in this Lease,
shall mean the Base Rent plus Tenant's Share of Operating Expense Increase.
5. Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution hereof
the security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.10 of the Basic Lease Provisions
as security for Tenant's faithful performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder.
If Tenant fails to pay Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise
defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or
retain all or any portion of said deposit for payment of any Rent or other
charge in default for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become
obligated by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss
or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all
or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written
demand deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said
deposit to the full amount then required of Tenant. If the Base Rent shall at
anytime, increase during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall, at the time of
such increase, deposit with Landlord additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Landlord shall at all
times bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial
security deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of
the Basic Lease Provisions. Landlord shall not be required to keep said security
deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant's
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not been applied
by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment
for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any,
of Tenant's interest hereunder) as soon as reasonably practical after the term
expires and Tenant vacates the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein
between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said Security Deposit.

regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of
any insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may

that now existing, during the term or any part of the term thereof, relating in
any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Tenant of the Premises.
Tenant shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit
the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to

provisions of Exhibit C, Tenant he accepts the Premises and the Office
Building Project in their "as is" condition as of the date of delivery
of possession of the Premises to Tenant, subject to all applicable
municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants or
restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to
all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto.
Tenant acknowledges that it has satisfied itself by its own independent
investigation that the Premises are suitable for its intended use, and
that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of
the Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the conduct
of Tenant's business.

Common Areas of the Office Building Project and the plumbing, heating,

shall be no abatement of Rent or liability of Landlord on account of any injury
or interference with Tenant's business with respect to any improvements,
alterations or repairs made by Landlord to the Office Building Project or any
part thereof. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or

any alterations, improvements or additions in, on or about the

such improvements, to insure Landlord against any liability for
mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the
work. Such contractors shall carry liability insurance of a type

(b) Tenant shall present any alteration, improvement or addition in
or about the Premises or the Office Building Project that Tenant

permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.

attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall pay
such attorneys' fees to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written request.
12.8 No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any transfer or subletting
by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under
this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, transfer or
subletting. Landlord's consent to any transfer or subletting shall not relieve
Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's express prior written consent to
any other transfer or subletting. The acceptance by Landlord of payment from any
other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of
this Lease or to be a consent to any subsequent transfer or sublease, or be a
release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.
12.9 Assumption of Obligations. Each transferee of this Lease shall assume all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly
and severally with Tenant for the payment of the Rent and the performance of all
the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's
part to be performed for the term of this Lease. No transfer shall be binding on
Landlord unless the transferee or Tenant delivers to Landlord a counterpart of
the instrument of transfer which contains a covenant of assumption by the
transferee satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord, consistent with the
above requirements. The failure or refusal of the transferee to execute such
instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the transferee from its
liability to Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to
perform any duty to or respond to any request from any subtenant, it being the
obligation of Tenant to administer the terms of its sublease.
12.10 Deemed Transfers. If the Tenant is a nonpublicly traded corporation, or is
an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, sale, exchange,
assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation,
association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%)
shall be deemed to be a transfer of this Lease and shall be subject to the
provisions of this paragraph 12; provided, that this Section 12.10 shall not
apply if as a result of such transaction the Tenant has financial
creditworthiness greater than before such transaction, and Tenant demonstrates
such improved creditworthiness to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction.
12.11 Assignment by Operation of Law. No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall
be assignable by operation of law; provided, that this Section 12.11 shall not
apply if as a result of such transaction the Tenant has financial
creditworthiness greater than before such transaction, and Tenant demonstrates
such improved creditworthiness to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction.
12.12 Assignment of Sublease Rents. Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns
to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all rent
from any subletting of all or any part of the Premises, and Landlord, as
assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant for purposes hereof, or a receiver
for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rents and apply
same toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease, except that, until the
occurrence of an act of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right and
license to collect such rents.
12.13 Prohibition of Assignment to Party in Interest of ERISA Party. If Landlord
is an ERISA Party (see paragraph 1.16) or an ERISA Party subsequently becomes
Landlord hereunder and Tenant is notified of such event, Tenant shall inquire of
any prospective transferee or subtenant whether it is a "party in interest," as
that term is defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, as to Landlord. Tenant shall not
transfer this Lease or sublet any part of the Premises to a person or entity
that Tenant knows or reasonably should know is a "party in interest," as that
term is defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, as to Landlord.
13. Default; Remedies.
13.1 Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a material default of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) The breach by Tenant of any of the provisions of paragraphs 7.3(a),
(b) or (d) (Alterations and Additions), 12.1 (Assignment and
Subletting), 25 (Vacation), 30.2 (Subordination), 33 (Auctions,
Other Sales and Cessation of Business), or 41.1 (Easements), all of
which are hereby deemed to be non-curable defaults without the
necessity of any notice by Landlord to Tenant thereof.
15
(b) The failure by Tenant to pay Rent or make any other payment
required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such
failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days. In the event
that Landlord serves Tenant with a notice regarding such nonpayment
pursuant to any applicable summary eviction statute, such notice shall
also constitute the notice required by this subparagraph.
(c) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Tenant other than those referenced in subparagraphs 13.1 (a) and (b)
where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided,
however, that if the nature of Tenant's noncompliance is such that more
than (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within
said thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to
completion; provided, however, in no event shall such cure period
extend beyond sixty (60) days. To the extent permitted by law, such
thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole notice required to be
given to Tenant under any applicable summary eviction statute.
(d) (i) The making by Tenant of any arrangement or assignment for the
benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant becoming a "debtor" as defined in the
Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute, (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)
days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take
possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not
restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's
assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease,
where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days, all of
which are hereby deemed to be non-curable defaults without the
necessity of any notice bv Landlord to Tenant thereof.
(e) The existence of materially false information in any financial
statement given to Landlord by Tenant, or its successor in interest or
by any guarantor of any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, all of which
are hereby deemed to be non-curable defaults without the necessity of
any notice by Landlord to Tenant thereof.
(f) The default by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant under this Lease
under any other lease with Landlord.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default of this Lease by Tenant,
Landlord may at an time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without
limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have
by reason of such default:
(a) Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises by any lawful means, in which case Tenant shall immediately
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event,
Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred
by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including, but not limited
to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of
reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the
Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and any real estate commission
actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court having
jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the
balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of
Rent loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord
pursuant to paragraph 15, applicable to the unexpired term of the
Lease. No payment by Tenant after termination of this Lease following
default by Tenant shall reinstate the Lease. Neither shall the receipt
and retention of any such payment by Landlord reinstate the Lease.
(b) Without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession of the
Premises or any part thereof and expel Tenant and those claiming
through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both or either, and
relet the Premises, or any part thereof, in Landlord's or Tenant's
name, but for the account of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall in no
manner be relieved from liability for payment of Rent, covering the
balance of the term of this Lease, and Landlord's retaking shall not be
considered an acceptance of the Premises nor a manifestation of an
intent to terminate this Lease.
16
(c) Maintain Tenant's right to possession, in which case this Lease
shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have vacated or
abandoned the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled
enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(d) Whenever not prohibited by the law of the state in which the
Premises is located, when this Lease and the term or any extension or
renewal thereof shall have been terminated on account of default by
Tenant, or when the term hereby created or any extension or renewal
thereof shall have expired, it shall be lawful for an attorney for any
court of record to appear as attorney for Tenant as well as for all
persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, and to sign an agreement
for entering in any competent court action in ejectment and judgment
against Tenant and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant and
therein confess judgment for the recovery by Landlord of possession of
the Premises, for which this Lease shall be sufficient warrant;
thereupon if Landlord so desires, an appropriate writ of possession may
issue forthwith, without any prior writ or proceeding whatsoever, and
provided that if for any reason after such action shall have been
commenced, it shall be determined and possession of the Premises remain
in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, for the
same default and upon any subsequent default or defaults, or upon the
termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession as
hereinbefore set forth, to bring one or more further action or actions
are hereinbefore set forth to recover possession of the Premises and
confess judgment as hereinbefore provided.
(e) To require Tenant to pay immediately the rent reserved for the
entire unexpired portion of the term of this Lease, as if such rent
were payable in advance, and to confess judgment therefore against
Tenant provided in paragraph (d) above.
(f) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord
under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located.
13.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails
to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and
to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose
name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing,
specifying where Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided
however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than
thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other
sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs include but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment
Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Tenant shall
not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after
such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such
overdue amount, but not to exceed the maximum late charge permitted by law in
the jurisdiction where the Office Building Project is 1ocated. The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of
such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
13.5 Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Any amount not paid by Tenant to Landlord
when due shall interest from the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by
law, except that interest shall not be payable on any late charge and interest
on any amount upon which a late charge is payable shall not commence to accrue
until thirty (30) days after the date due. Payment of interest shall not excuse
or cure any default by Tenant.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called ("condemnation"),
this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs, provided that if so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project is taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
17
profitability of Tenant's business conducted from the Premises, Tenant shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after
the condemning authority shall have taken possession, to terminate this Lease as
of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Tenant does not
terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain
in full in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining,
except that the Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be
reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the
total floor area of the Premises. Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the
Common Areas usable by Tenant and no reduction of Rent shall occur with respect
thereto or by reason thereof Landlord shall have the option in its sole
discretion to terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the
condemning authority, by giving written notice to Tenant of such election within
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part
of the Premises or the Office Building Project. Any award for the taking of all
or any part of the Premises or the Office Building Project under the power of
eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power
shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled
to any separate award for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures,
removable personal property and unamortized tenant improvements that have been
paid for by Tenant. For that purpose, the cost of such improvements shall be
amortized over the original term of the lease excluding any options. In the
event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord
shall, to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection
with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefore by
the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of such
severance damages required to complete such repair.
15. Broker's Fee.
(a) Subject to the execution of this Lease by both parties, Landlord
shall pay to the Listing Broker and the Cooperating Broker, if any,
designated in paragraphs 1.14 and 1.15 of this Lease jointly, or in
such separate shares as they may mutually designate in writing, a fee
as set forth in a separate agreement between Landlord and the Listing
Broker.
(b) Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that
neither has had any dealing with any person, firm, broker or finder
(other than the person(s), if any, whose names are set forth in
paragraphs 1.14 and 1.15) in connection with the negotiation of this
Lease or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and
no other broker or other person, firm or entity is entitled to any
commission or finder's fee in connection with said transaction and
Tenant and Landlord do each hereby indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or
liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such
unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings
or actions of the indemnifying party.
16. Estoppel Certificates.
(a) Each party (as "responding party") shall at any time upon not less
than ten (10) days prior written notice from the other party
("requesting party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting
party a statement in writing (1) certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the
nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so
modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent
and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging
that there are not, to the responding party's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of the requesting party, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Office
Building Project or of the business of Tenant.
(b) At the requesting party's option, the responding party's failure to
deliver such statement within such time shall be a material default of
this Lease, without any further notice to such party, or it shall be
conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and
effect, without modification except as may be represented by the
requesting party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting
party's performance, and (iii) if Landlord is the requesting party, not
more than one month's rent has been paid in advance.
(c) If Landlord desires to finance, refinance or sell the Office
Building Project, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver
to any lender or purchaser designated by Landlord such financial
statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender or
purchaser. Such statements include the past three (3) years' financial
18
statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall received by
Landlord and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used
only for the purposes herein set forth.
17. Landlord's Liability. The term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean only the
owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or the leasehold
interest under a ground lease of the Office Building Project. In the event of
any transfer of such title or interest, Landlord herein named (and in case of
any subsequent transfers then the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the
date of such transfer of all liability as respects Landlord's obligations
thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or
the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest,
shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be
performed by Landlord shall be binding on Landlord's successors and assigns,
only during their respective periods of ownership.
18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. Force Majeure. Any obligation of Landlord which is delayed or not performed
due to an act of God, strike, riot, shortage of labor or materials, war (whether
declared or undeclared), laws, governmental regulations or restrictions or any
other governmental action or inaction, or any other cause of any kind whatsoever
which is beyond Landlord's reasonable control, shall not constitute a default
hereunder and shall be performed within a reasonable time after the end of the
cause for delay or non-performance.
20. Time is of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations
to be performed under this Lease.
21. Additional Rent. All monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the
terms of this Lease, including but not limited to any expenses payable by Tenant
hereunder, shall be deemed to be rent.
22. Incorporation of Prior Agreement; Amendments.
(a) This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to
any matter mentioned herein. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or
understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may
be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of
the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Tenant hereby
acknowledges that neither the Listing Broker nor the Cooperating Broker, if any,
designated in paragraphs 1.14 and 1.15 nor the Landlord or any employee or agent
of any of said persons has made any oral or written warranties or
representations to Tenant relative to the condition or use by Tenant of the
Premises or the Office Building Project and Tenant acknowledges that Tenant
assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the
Americans with Disabilities Act (subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.17 and
paragraph 7.5(a) or (b), as the case may be), the legal use and adaptability of
the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations
in effect during the term of this Lease.
(b) Tenant occupies a portion of the Premises pursuant to a lease
between Tenant and Landlord's predecessor (the "Present Lease"). Effective upon
the Commencement Date of this Lease, the Present Lease shall terminate
automatically, and Tenant and Landlord shall have no further obligations to
each other under the Present Lease, except for any obligations that expressly
survive termination.
23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or registered mail
(provided that notice of exercise of any Option, as defined in paragraph 39,
must in all events be given by certified or registered mail) addressed to a
party at the address beneath such party's signature on this Lease or such other
address for notice purposes as may be later specified by notice to the other
party, except that upon Tenant's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises
shall constitute Tenant's address for notice purposes. Mailed notices shall be
deemed given upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight hours
following deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. A copy
of all notices required or pemitted to be given to Landlord hereunder shall be
concurrently transmitted to such other party or parties at such addresses as
Landlord may from time to time hereafter desigmte by notice to Tenant.
24. Waivers. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same
or any other provision. Landlord's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not
be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or
approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of rent by Landlord
shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach of this Lease by Tenant, other
19
than Tenant's failure to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.
25. Vacation or Abandonment of Premises. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the
Premises. Abandonment of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the
Premises for a continuous period of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the
Rent is paid.
26. Holding Over. If Tenant, with Landlord's consent, remains in possession of
all or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease,
such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month-to-month upon all of the provisions
of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Tenant, except that the Base Rent
payable shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent payable immediately
preceding the expiration of the term.
27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative With all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Tenant and subject to the provisions of paragraph
17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
where the Office Building Project is located and any litigation concerning this
Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the
Office Building Project is located.
30. Subordination.
30.1 This Lease, including but not limited to any Option, as defined in
paragraph 39, shall, at Landlord's option, be subordinate to any ground lease,
mortgage, trust deed, or any other security interest now or hereafter affecting
the Office Building Project and to any and all advances made on the security
thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet
possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default
and so long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all of the
provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to
its terms. If any ground lessor or the holder of any mortgage, trust deed or
other security interest shall elect to have this Lease prior to its ground
lease, mortgage, trust deed or other security interest, and shall give written
notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease,
mortgage, trust deed or other security interest, whether this Lease is dated
prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, mortgage, trust deed or
other security interest or the date of recording thereof. Upon termination of
any ground lease or foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security
interest, Tenant shall attorn to the ground lessor or any purchaser upon
foreclosure.
30.2 Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate a
subordination or attornment, or to make this Lease prior to any ground lease,
mortgage, trust deed or other security interest, if requested by the ground
lessor or holder of the mortgage, trust deed or other security interest.
Tenant's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written
demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder without further
notice to Tenant or, at Landlord's option, Landlord may execute such documents
on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make,
constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and
in Tenant's name, place and stead, to execute such documents.
31. Attorneys' Fees. If either party brings any lawsuit to enforce or declare
rights under this Lease, the prevailing party in the action, including any
appeal, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees paid by the losing party
as fixed by the court in the same or a separate proceeding, whether or not such
action is pursued to decision or judgment. The attorneys' fee award shall not be
computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to
fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in good faith. Landlord
shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses
incurred in the preparation and service of notice of default and consultations
in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently
commenced.
20
32. Landlord's Access.

making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or
to the Office Building Project as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or
desirable and the erecting, using and maintaining of utilities, services, pipes

abatement of Rent and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for the
same.
32.3 Landlord shall have the right to retain keys to the Premises and to unlock
all doors in or upon the Premises other than files, vaults and safes, and in the
case of emergency to enter the Premises by any reasonably appropriate means,
and any such entry shall not be deemed a forcible or unlawful entry or detainer
of the Premises or an eviction. Tenant waives any charges for damages or
injuries or interference with Tenant's property or business in connection
therewith.
33. Auctions, Other Sales and Cessation of Business. Tenant shall not conduct,
nor permit to be conducted either voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon
the Premises or the Common Areas without Landlord's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall not be
obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to
grant such consent. Tenant shall not make a bulk sale of its goods or move, or
attempt to or threaten to move its goods and equipment out of the Premises
(other than in the ordinary course of business) or cease to conduct business
from the Premises.
34. Signs. Tenant shall not place any sign upon the Premises or the Office
Building Project without Landlord's prior written consent. Under no
circumstances shall Tenant place a sign on any roof of the Office Building
Project.
35. Merger. The voluntary or other surrender or mutual cancellation or
termination by Landlord of this Lease shall not work a merger, but shall, at the
option of Landlord, terminate all or any subtenancies or may, at the option of
Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subtenancies.
36. Consents. Except for paragraphs 7.3 (Alterations and Additions), 12
(Assignment and Subletting) 33 (Auctions, Other Sales and Cessation of Business)
34 (Signs), and 49 (Hazardous Material) as it relates to causing or permitting

Premises, wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act
of the other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant's part
to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease.
39. Options.
39.1 Options Personal. The term "Option" as used in this Lease refers to any
option to extend, renew or expand and to any right of first refusal or first
offer granted to Tenant. Each Option is personal to the original Tenant and may
be exercised only by the original Tenant while occupying the Premises without
the intent of thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises or any
portion thereof, and may not be, voluntarily or involuntarily, exercised by or
assigned to any other person or entity. Options shall not be assignable separate
and apart from this Lease, and may not be separated from this Lease in any
manner, by reservation or otherwise.

Lease, a later option cannot be exercised unless the prior option to extend or
renew has been exercised.
21
39.3 Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Tenant shall have no right to exercise any Option, notwithstanding
any provision in the grant of the Option to the contrary, (i) if Tenant
has committed any non-curable material default, or (ii) from the date
Landlord gives Tenant notice of a curable default until the default is
cured, or (iii) from the day after a monetary obligation to Landlord is
due from Tenant and unpaid (without any necessity of notice thereof to
Tenant) until the obligation is paid, or (iv) if, during the twelve
(12) month period prior to the date Tenant gives Landlord notice of
Tenant's exercise of the option, Landlord has given to Tenant three or
more notices of default under paragraph 13.1 (b) or (c), whether or not
the defaults are cured. The period of time within which an Option may
be exercised shall not be extended by reason of Tenant's inability to
exercise an option because of the provisions of this paragraph.
(b) All rights of Tenant under the provisions of any Option shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding
Tenant's due and timely exercise of the Option, if after such exercise

such easements, rights, dedications, restrictions and maps do not unreasonably

this Lease as may be reasonably required by an institutional lender in

obligations under this Lease, or otherwise materially and adversely affect
Tenant.

Landlord or Tenant herein, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
obligations of the Landlord or Tenant herein shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Landlord or

Tenant breaches the obligations set forth in this paragraph, or if the presence
of Hazardous Material in the Premises or at the Office Building Project caused
or permitted by Tenant (whether or not Landlord has given its consent to the
presence of such Hazardous Material in the Premises) results in contamination of
the Premises or any other part of the Office Building Project, or if
contamination of the Office Building Project by Hazardous Material otherwise
occurs for which Tenant is legally liable, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments damages,
penalties, fines, assessments, costs, liabilities or losses, including, without
limitation, diminution in value of the Office Building Project, damages for the
loss or restriction on use of rentable or useable space or floor area in or of
any amenity of the Office Building Project, damages arising from any adverse
impact on leasing space in the Office Building Project, sums paid in settlement
of claims, and any attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees which arise
during or after the term of this Lease as a result of such contamination. This
indemnification of Landlord by Tenant shall survive expiration or termination of

any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or
restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or
political subdivision because of Hazardous Material xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxx

invitees, results in any contamination of the Office Building Project, Tenant
shall promptly take all actions, at its sole expense, as are necessary to return
the Office Building Project to the condition existing prior to the introduction
of any such Hazardous Material, provided that Landlord's approval, and that of
any ground lessor or mortgagee of Landlord, of such actions shall first be
obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such
actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term
effects on the Office Building Project. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of
any such contamination.
50. Attachments. Attached hereto are the following documents which constitute a
part of this Lease.
EXHIBIT A: Floor Plan.

51. Liability of Landlord. The liability of Landlord and all officers,
directors, shareholders, partners, members and employees of Landlord to Tenant
for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to
the interest of Landlord in the Office Building Project, and Landlord or any
officer, director, shareholder, partner, member or employee of Landlord shall
not be personally liable for any deficiency.
52. Early Termination Option. Landlord grants Tenant an option to terminate this
Lease effective on the last day of each of the 36th month following the
Commencement Date and the 48th month following the Commencement Date (each, a
"Early Termination Date"). Tenant shall give Landlord not less than one hundred
fifty (150) days prior written notice of its desire to terminate the Lease,
which notice shall contain a reasonable explanation that the Premises are no
longer sufficient for its business at the time. In addition, Tenant shall pay
Landlord not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Early Termination Date the
applicable Early Termination Payment set forth below, which amount is comprised
of the approximate value of unamortized tenant improvements and leasing
commissions, together with an early termination fee. Tenant's right to terminate
this Lease as provided in this Section 52 shall be exercisable only if at the
time of the exercise of such termination right and upon the Early Termination
Date, there shall have occurred and be continuing no event of default by Tenant
of any of its obligations under this Lease.
Notwithstanding the amount of the Early Termination Payment set forth
below, Tenant shall pay the "Reduced Early Termination Fee" set forth below, if
prior to the exercise of the Early Termination Option Tenant seeks to expand
within the Office Building Project and Landlord cannot accommodate Tenant's
Expansion Requirements (defined below). The term "Tenant's Expansion
Requirements" shall mean that Tenant desires to expand or relocate within the
Office Building Project to a space at least 10,000 square feet greater than the
Premises at a base rent equal to the then fair market value of similar space in
the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area for a term of five (5) years from the date
of such request and substantially upon the other terms and conditions set forth
in this Lease. If Landlord can accommodate Tenant's request, then Landlord and
Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to execute a lease for the expanded space,
or if Tenant and Landlord do not enter into such lease, then the Early
Termination Fee (not the Reduced Early Termination Fee) shall apply.
