injury to health, safety or property, including all of those materials and
substances designated as hazardous or toxic by the county in which the Premises

Safety Commission, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Arizona Department
of Environmental Quality, or any other governmental agency now or hereafter
authorized to regulate materials and substances in the environment.
(b) Tenant agrees not to introduce any Hazardous Material in, on or
adjacent to the Premises without (i) obtaining Landlord's prior written
approval, (ii) providing Landlord with thirty (30) days prior written notice of
the exact amount, nature and manner of intended use of such Hazardous Material,
and (iii) complying with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules,
regulations, policies and authorities relating to the storage, use, disposal and
clean up of Hazardous Material, including, but not limited to, the obtaining of
all proper permits.
(c) Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any inquiry, test,
investigation or enforcement proceeding by, against or directed at Tenant or the
Premises concerning any Hazardous Material. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord,
as the owner of the Premises, shall have the right, at its election, in
Lease for 0000 X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
Page 6
its own name or as Tenant's agent, to negotiate, defend, approve, and appeal, at
Tenant's expense, any action taken or order issued with regard to a Hazardous
Material by any applicable governmental authority.
(d) If Tenant's storage, use or disposal of any Hazardous Material in,
on or adjacent to the Premises results in any contamination of the Premises, the
soil, surface or groundwater thereunder or the air above and around the Premises
(i) requiring remediation under federal, state or local statutes, ordinances,
regulations or policies, or (ii) at levels which are unacceptable to Landlord,
in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, Tenant shall clean-up the
contamination immediately, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant further
agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any claims, suits, causes of action, fines, penalties, costs, damages, loss and
fees, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with
(i) any clean-up work, inquiry or enforcement proceeding relating to Hazardous
Material currently or hereafter used, stored or disposed of by Tenant or its
agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees on or about the Premises,
and (ii) the use, storage, disposal or release by Tenant of its agents,
employees, contractors, licensees or invitees of any Hazardous Material on or
about the Premises.
(e) Notwithstanding any other right of entry granted to Landlord under
this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises or to have
consultants enter the Premises throughout the Term at reasonable times during
business hours for the purposes of determining: (1) whether the Premises are in
conformity with federal, state and local statutes, regulations, ordinances and
policies, including those pertaining to the environmental condition of the
Premises; (2) whether Tenant has complied with all of its obligations hereunder;
and (3) the corrective measures, if any, required of Tenant to ensure the safe
use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Material. Tenant shall provide access and
reasonable assistance for such inspections. Such inspections may include, but
are not limited to, entering the Premises with machinery for the purpose of
obtaining laboratory samples. Landlord shall not be limited in the number of
such inspections during the Term. If, during such inspections, it is found that
Tenant's use of Hazardous Material constitutes a violation of this Lease, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such inspections within ten (10) days
of receipt of a written demand therefor. If such consultants determine that the
Premises are contaminated with Hazardous Material or in violation of any
applicable environmental law, Tenant shall, in a timely manner, at its expense,
remove such Hazardous Material or otherwise comply with the recommendation of
Lease for 0000 X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
Page 7
such consultants to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and any applicable
governmental agencies. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord, in its sole
discretion, may, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under
this Lease and at law and in equity, cause the violation or contamination to be
remedied at Tenant's sole cost and expense. The right granted to Landlord herein
to inspect the Premises shall not create a duty on Landlord's part to inspect
the Premises, or liability of Landlord for Tenant's use, storage or disposal of
Hazardous Material, it being agreed and acknowledged that Tenant shall be solely
responsible for all liability in connection therewith.
(f) Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease free of Hazardous Material and in a
condition which complies with all governmental statutes, ordinances, regulations
and policies, recommendations of consultants hired by Landlord, and such other
reasonable requirements as may be imposed by Landlord.
(g) Tenant's obligations hereunder and all indemnification obligations
of Tenant under this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease.
17. Insurance. (a) Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall at all
times during the Term of the Lease, at its own cost and expense, carry and
maintain general liability insurance, including contractual liability insurance,
and property damage insurance for personal injury, death or property damage, or
destruction of property, occurring in, on or about the Premises with limits not
less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence or in such greater
amounts as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time. Tenant shall also
carry workmen's compensation insurance as required by law and such other
insurance in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time.
(b) Tenant, at its expense, shall at all times during the Term of this
Lease keep the Premises and insured against loss by fire or any other casualty,
with extended coverage, for 100% of the full replacement cost therefor, and
vandalism and malicious mischief coverage, and shall keep all such insurance in
full force and effect during the entire Term of this Lease.
(c) The foregoing insurance shall be in companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona and in form, substance and amount (where not
stated above) satisfactory to Landlord and any mortgagee or beneficiary of
Landlord. The foregoing insurance shall specify Landlord, its successors,
mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary and assigns as additional
Lease for 0000 X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
Page 8
insureds or payment of loss thereunder to Landlord, its successors, mortgagee,
trustee, beneficiary or assigns. Policies or certificates evidencing such
insurance shall be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the
execution of this Lease, and renewals thereof shall be delivered to the Landlord
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the respective
policies. In the event Landlord at any time shall cause a mortgage or deed of
trust to be placed against the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to have all
appropriate insurance policies called for in this Lease endorsed with a standard
mortgagee loss payable clause, making losses, if any, payable to the mortgagee
or trustee or beneficiary as their interests may appear. Each of said policies
shall provide that Landlord be provided with thirty (30) days' advance notice of
intent to cancel the same.
(d) In the event Tenant shall at any time fail, neglect or refuse to
procure insurance required hereunder or pay the premium costs as hereinbefore
provided therefor, or to provide Landlord upon demand with evidence of insurance
as required herein, then Landlord may at its discretion procure or renew such
insurance, and any amounts paid therefor by Landlord shall be so much additional
rent due from Tenant to Landlord to be paid along with the next installment of
Monthly Base Rent hereunder, with interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum from the date of payment thereof by Landlord until the repayment
thereof to Landlord by Tenant.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may during the Term of this
Lease keep the improvements of the Premises insured against loss by fire or any
other casualty with such extended coverage and in such amounts as Landlord may
reasonably deem necessary from time to time. In such event, Tenant shall pay
Landlord upon demand the annual premium costs for such insurance.
18. Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not transfer, convey,
assign, encumber or hypothecate any interest in this Lease or in the Premises or
sublease all or any part thereof, or allow any other person or entity to occupy
or use all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's prior
written consent, which may be withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion. Any
transfer or a series of transactions resulting in the transfer of control of
Tenant, other than by reason of death, shall be deemed to be an assignment and
transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease for purposes of this Section 19.
The term "control", as used herein shall mean the power to directly or
indirectly direct, or cause a direction of, the management and policies of
Tenant.

19. Condemnation. (a) If the whole of the Premises shall be taken or
condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by a competent authority,
or if a portion of the Premises shall be so taken that as a result thereof the
balance of either cannot be used for the same purpose and with substantially the
same utility to Tenant as immediately prior to such taking, or if the taking is
material and substantial and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease (Landlord
is hereby given such right to terminate), which election shall be made by giving
written notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of
possession to the condemning authority, then in any of such events, the Term of
this Lease shall terminate upon delivery of possession to the condemning
authority, and any award, compensation or damages (hereinafter referred to as
the "Award") shall be paid to and be the sole property of Landlord, whether the
Award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold
estate or the fee of the Premises or otherwise; and Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord all of Tenant's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Award.
Tenant shall continue to pay rents and other charges hereunder until the Lease
is terminated and any impositions and insurance premiums prepaid by Tenant or
any unpaid impositions or other rents and charges which accrue prior to the
termination, shall be adjusted between the parties hereto.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease,
in the event that one or more of the following are taken through condemnation,
Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Landlord:
(i) ten percent (10%) or more of the usable square feet of the
Premises; or
(ii) a lesser portion of the Premises that, if taken, would materially
and adversely affect Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises for the uses set
forth in Paragraph 6 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease,
if any part of the Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not
terminated, Rent shall be proportionately reduced, Landlord shall, at Landlord's
sole expense, accomplish all necessary restoration to the Premises resulting

Page 10
days after written notice of the failure from the Landlord to the Tenant; or
(2) The failure of Tenant to perform or observe any of the
other covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease on the part of Tenant
to be performed or observed, and the continuance of such failure for a period of
twenty (20) days after notice in writing thereof (which notice shall specify the
respect in which Landlord contends that Tenant has failed to perform or observe
any of such covenants, conditions and agreements) from Landlord to Tenant; or
(3) (i) The filing of an application by Tenant for, or a
consent to, the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of

five (5) consecutive days.
(b) Landlord may treat any one or more Events of Default defined above
as a breach of this Lease and thereupon, at its option, Landlord may have and
exercise, in addition to all other remedies provided by law or in equity, any
one or more of the following remedies:
(1) Landlord may terminate this Lease and the Term
created hereby in which event Landlord may forthwith
repossess the Premises and be entitled
Lease for 0000 X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
Page 11
to recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal
to the value of the rent and other sums provided to
be paid by Tenant due and owing prior to the date of
such termination, and any other sum of money and
damages due or to become due to Landlord from Tenant;
or
(2) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession
only and may repossess the Premises by forcible entry
and detainer suit, or otherwise, without demand or
notice of any kind to Tenant (except as hereinabove
expressly provided) and without terminating this
Lease, in which event Landlord may, but shall be
under no obligation so to do, relet all or any part
of the Premises for such rent and upon such terms as
shall be satisfactory to Landlord (including the
right to relet the Premises for a term greater or
lesser than that remaining under the Term of this
Lease and the right to relet the Premises as a part
of a larger area and the right to change the
character or use made of the Premises). For the
purpose of such reletting, Landlord may make such
repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to
the Premises which may be necessary or convenient. If
Landlord shall fail or refuse to relet the Premises,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum
equal to the amount of the rent reserved in this
Lease for such period or periods. If the Premises are
relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from
such reletting after paying all of the costs and
expenses of repairs, changes, alterations and
additions and the expense of such reletting, and the
collection of the rent accruing therefrom, to satisfy
the rents and other charges above provided to be
paid, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such
deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time;
and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to
recover any sums falling due under the terms of this
paragraph and any other sums due under this Lease
from time to time, and that any suit or recovery of
any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be no
defense to any subsequent action brought for any
amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor
of Landlord.
(c) Each right, power and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in
Lease for 0000 X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
Page 12
addition to every other right, power or remedy now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or commencement of the
exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies
provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or
by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise
by Landlord of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.
21. Subordination. (a) This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be
subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other
hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises and to any
and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If Landlord
or any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior
to the lien of a mortgagee, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give
written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or
subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the
date of recording thereof.
(b) Tenant shall execute any documents required to effectuate such
subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of
trust or ground lease, as the case may be (including, without limitation, a
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the standard form
used by Landlord's lender), and failing to do so within ten (10) days after
written demand therefor, does hereby make, constitute, and irrevocably appoint
Landlord as Tenant's attorney in fact and in Tenant's name, place and stead, to
do the same. Upon Tenant's written request to Landlord, Landlord shall request
that its lender issue to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement on such lender's
standard form; provided, however, the failure of such lender to issue a
non-disturbance agreement shall in no way affect Tenant's obligations under this
Lease.
22. Notices. Notices and demands required or desired to be given
hereunder shall be given by personal delivery or be sent by certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed, if to Landlord, at the
address at which the last rental payment was made or required to be made, and if
to Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the Premises, or such other address as was
last specified respectively by notice by Landlord or Tenant. Notices and demands
shall be deemed to have been given when mailed or, if made by personal delivery,
then upon such delivery.

Page 13
23. Estoppel Certificate by Tenant. Tenant agrees at any time and from
time to time, upon not less than five (5) days prior written request by
Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing
in form and content requested by Landlord or its lender or potential purchaser
of the Premises certifying that this Lease is unmodified and that no default
exists hereunder (except as shall be specified and which are known to Tenant),
and also certifying the dates to which the rents and other charges have been
paid in advance, if any, and such other matters so requested; it being intended
that any such statement delivered pursuant to this section may be relied upon by
any prospective purchaser of the fee or a mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or
assignee of the Premises.
24. Mortgagee Protection. (a) If, in connection with obtaining
financing for the Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord's lender shall
request reasonable modifications to this Lease as a condition to such financing,
Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent to such
modifications, provided such modifications, do not materially adversely affect
Tenant's rights under this Lease.
(b). Tenant shall give to any trust deed or mortgage holder ("Holder"),
by prepaid certified mail, return receipt requested, at the same time as it is
given to Landlord, a copy of any notice of default given to Landlord, provided
that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified, in writing, (by way of
notice of assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such
Holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such
default within the time provided for in this Lease, then notwithstanding any
other terms or conditions hereof, the Holder shall have an additional thirty
(30) days after the expiration of such period, or after receipt of such notice
from Tenant (if such notice to the Holder is required by this Section 38),
whichever shall later occur, within which to cure such default, or if such
default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be
necessary if within such thirty (30) days, any Holder has commenced and is
diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but
not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to effect
such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated.
25. Joint and Several Obligation. In the event more than one party or
person is the "Tenant" under this Lease, the obligation to pay rent and perform

thereupon be and become the "Landlord" hereunder and shall assume fully and be
liable for all liabilities and obligations of this Lease to be performed by
Landlord that first arise after the date of conveyance, and such original
Landlord or successor owner shall, from and after the date of conveyance, be
free of all liabilities and obligations not then incurred.

obligation of Tenant under this Lease, in curing any default by Tenant
hereunder, in connection with appearing, defending or otherwise participating in
any action or proceeding arising from the filing, imposition, contesting,
discharging or satisfaction of any lien or claim for lien, in defending or
otherwise participating in any legal proceedings initiated by or on behalf of
Tenant wherein Landlord is not adjudicated to be in default under this Lease, or
in connection with any investigation or review of any conditions or documents in
the event Tenant requests Landlord's approval or consent to any action of Tenant
which may be desired by Tenant or required of Tenant hereunder.
35: Ownership, Authority and Quiet Enjoyment. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord represents and warrants that

36: Ownership of Alterations. Tenant may remove any alterations,
improvements, signs, fixtures or equipment that it installs or places in, on or

fifteen (15) days after any earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may
require Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense, to remove any alterations that cannot

restoration before expiration of the Lease Term or, in the case of earlier
termination, within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord
requesting the restoration, Landlord may do so and charge the cost of the
restoration to Tenant. On the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall promptly

proposed alteration to be usable for ordinary general office purposes.
37: Landlord Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Lease, Landlord shall (i) be liable for any and all injury,

of (a) any actual or threatened release of any Hazardous Material on, under or
about the Premises or (b) any inquiry, investigation1 proceeding or claim by any
government agency or other person regarding the presence of Hazardous Material
on, under or about the Premises, that party shall give the other party written
