The City of Tempe ("Master Landlord"), and TFS, as tenant, TFS leases that
certain building located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000
(herein the "Premises or the "Building"), which is more particularly described
in the Master Lease;
WHEREAS, a true and correct copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto
as Exhibit A and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms not herein defined
shall have the meanings given to them in the Master Lease;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Ground Sublease TFS subleases the Land from
Papago Park Center, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("Ground Lessor"); the Ground
Sublease is attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, TFS desires to sublet to Brillian and Brillian desires to
sublet from TFS approximately 35,502 square feet of rentable floor area (the
"Sublet Premises") of the Building, which Sublet Premises is shown in
cross-hatch on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and
conditions hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it
is mutually agreed as follows:
1. SUBLET PREMISES; USE.
(a) TFS hereby subleases the Sublet Premises to Brillian and
Brillian hereby subleases the Sublet Premises from TFS, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof and the Master Lease. Brillian shall not use the Sublet
Premises for any illegal or improper purpose which shall constitute a nuisance
nor do or suffer anything to be done in or about the Sublet Premises which will
violate any term of the Master Lease, this Sublease, or any laws, rules,
regulations, or ordinances or increase the rate of fire or other insurance or
jeopardize the coverage of the same. Brillian agrees to comply with all of
Master Landlord's rules and regulations relating to the Sublet Premises or the
building in which the Sublet Premises is located.
(b) In the event TFS fails to deliver to Brillian possession
of the Sublet Premises or obtain the consent of the Master Landlord, TFS shall
not be liable for any damages caused thereby, whether or not such failure is
caused by the negligence of TFS or otherwise. In addition, this Sublease shall
not be void or voidable if possession is tendered to Brillian within forty-five
(45) days after the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and the consent
of the Master Landlord is obtained within such forty-five (45) day period. In
such event, the Commencement Date shall be the later of (i) the date such
possession of the Sublet Premises is so tendered, and (ii) the date TFS obtains
the consent of Master Landlord. In the event that such period elapses and TFS
shall not have tendered possession to Brillian and obtained the consent of the
Master Landlord, this Sublease shall be voidable at Brillian's option upon
written notice to TFS, in which event TFS shall return the Security Deposit, if
any, and Brillian shall have no further rights or remedies hereunder. For
purposes of this Sublease, possession of the Sublet Premises shall be deemed
tendered upon TFS's providing access to Brillian. Brillian's failure to take
possession of the Sublet Premises for any reason when delivered by TFS shall not
delay the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined).
(c) Brillian shall also have the right to use in common with
TFS (and such other subtenants as from time to time may occupy the Building) the
facilities yard, parking areas, improvements (other than the Building) located
from time to time on the Land, and the common areas described on Exhibit B-1
attached hereto and made a part hereof (all of the foregoing in this Paragraph
1(c), the "Common Areas").
2. TERM.
(a) Subject to the terms of Paragraph l(b) above, the initial
term of this Sublease shall be for a period of two (2) years (the "Initial
Sublease Term") and shall commence on the date of execution hereof by TFS (the
"Commencement Date") and terminate on __________, 2005. The Initial Sublease
Term may be extended for additional single or multi-year terms (each, a "Renewal
Term") pursuant to the terms and provisions of Paragraph 2(b) below. The Initial
Sublease Term, together with any and all Renewal Terms, is hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Sublease Term".
(b) The Sublease Term may be extended for successive Renewal
Terms only by written agreement of the parties.
3. RENT.
(a) BASE RENT. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian
covenants and agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind, a
minimum annual Base Rent in an amount equal to $175,488, payable in equal
monthly installments of $14,624. For purposes of this Agreement, Base Rent shall
be defined to mean the depreciation amount of the building space leased by
Brillian. Brillian shall pay to TFS this amount on the first day of each month
during the Term of this Agreement.
(b) SERVICES RENT. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian
covenants and agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind, a
minimum annual Service Rent in an amount equal to $399,744 payable in equal
monthly installments of $33,312. The particular services that are provided by
TFS to Brillian and that are covered under this rent are enumerated and
described in
2
Exhibit C to this Agreement ("Services Rent Items"). For purposes of this
Agreement, Services Rent shall include all Rent other than Base Rent, and
Variable Rent. Brillian shall pay to TFS this amount on the first day of each
month during the Term of this Agreement.
(c) VARIABLE RENT. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian
covenants and agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind, the
actual monthly costs enumerated in Exhibit D to this Agreement ("Variable
Services Rent Items"). For purposes of this Agreement, Variable Rent shall
include all Rent other than Base Rent, and Services Rent. Brillian shall pay to
TFS this amount within five (5) days from the receipt of an invoice from TFS.
(d) ADDITIONAL RENT. In the event that, during the term of
this Sublease, a building fixture or piece of maintenance or operating equipment
breaks or fails to work properly, and that fixture or piece of maintenance or
operating equipment is solely used by Brillian under the terms of this
Agreement, then (i) TFS reserves the right to not repair or replace the said
fixture or piece of maintenance or operating equipment, or (ii) in the event
that TFS chooses to repair or replace such fixture or piece of maintenance or
operating equipment, Brillian shall be solely liable for any costs associated
with action.
4. CONSTRUCTION; ACCEPTANCE. Brillian agrees that TFS has no
construction, repair, or replacement obligations hereunder and that Brillian
will accept the Sublet Premises in "as-is" condition; provided, however, TFS
shall deliver the Sublet Premises in the same arrangement and condition as on
the date or the execution of this Sublease. Brillian's taking possession of the
Sublet Premises shall be a conclusive acknowledgement on Brillian's part that
the Sublet Premises are in good and tenantable condition and that Brillian has
accepted the Sublet Premises in "as is" condition as of such date.
5. REPRESENTATIONS. TFS hereby warrants and represents that (i) the
Master Lease is presently in full force and effect; (ii) that TFS has the power
and authority to enter into this Sublease; (iii) the copy of the Master Lease
attached hereto as Exhibit A is true, complete, and correct; (iv) the Master
Lease has not been modified or amended and constitutes the full and complete
agreement of the parties thereto relative to the subject matter thereof; (v) (a)
to the best of TFS' knowledge, TFS is not in default under any of the provisions
of the Master Lease, and to the best of TFS' knowledge, no event or condition
exists which with notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a
default by TFS under the Master Lease, and (b) TFS has received no notice of any
such default, event, or condition from Master Landlord which remains uncured;
(vi) TFS has received no written notice from any applicable governmental
authority of, or alleging any, violation of any applicable law or regulation,
including any environmental laws, with respect to the Sublet Premises which
remains uncured; (vii) TFS has given no written notices alleging any default
which remains uncured by the Master Landlord under the Master Lease, or that any
event has occurred which, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or
both, would constitute an uncured default by the Master Landlord under the
Master Lease, nor to the best of TFS' knowledge, has any event occurred which,
with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an
uncured default by Master Landlord under the Master Lease. TFS makes no other
representations or warranties and hereby disclaims same.

6. MASTER LEASE.
(a) All the rights and obligations of TFS contained in the
Master Lease as they relate to the Sublet Premises are hereby conferred and
imposed upon Brillian, except as expressly modified and amended by this
Sublease. The rights of TFS in Sections 9, 15, 16, 17, 24(g), and 24(l) of the
Master Lease are expressly not conferred upon Brillian and Brillian expressly
acknowledges that it shall not be entitled to any of the rights of TFS in
Sections 9, 15, 16, 17, 24(g), and 24(l) of the Master Lease. Brillian covenants
and agrees fully and faithfully to perform the terms and conditions of the
Master Lease as they relate to the Sublet Premises and this Sublease on its part
to be performed, including, but not limited to, all maintenance and repair
obligations and all compliance with law obligations. Brillian shall not do or
cause to be done or suffer or permit any act to be done that would or might
cause the Master Lease, or the rights of TFS as tenant under the Master Lease,
to be endangered, canceled, terminated, forfeited, or surrendered, or that would
or might cause TFS to be in default thereunder or liable for any damage, claim,
or penalty. Brillian agrees, as an express inducement for TFS's executing this
Sublease, that if there is any conflict between the provisions of this Sublease
and the provisions of the Master Lease that would permit Brillian to do or cause
to be done or suffer or permit any act or thing to be done that is prohibited by
the Master Lease, then the provisions of the Master Lease shall prevail. All
rights, remedies, and indemnifications given to the Master Landlord in the
Master Lease are hereby given to TFS under this Sublease.
(b) If any event occurs that would permit TFS to terminate the
Master Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises, Brillian shall notify TFS of
such occurrence and of its recommendations immediately with regard to such
termination rights. TFS shall decide in its reasonable discretion whether or not
to terminate the Master Lease and shall give Brillian written notice of such
decision. If TFS elects to terminate the Master Lease as it relates to the
Sublet Premises, this Sublease shall terminate on the earlier of the date of
termination of the Master Lease or the date which is (30) days after Brillian's
receipt of such written notice from TFS. In the event that TFS elects to
terminate the Master Lease prior to providing notice to the Master Landlord, TFS
must provide prior written notice to Brillian of its intent to terminate this
Sublease, and within five (5) days after the receipt of such notice from TFS,
Brillian may notify TFS in writing that it intends to continue possession of the
Sublet Premises under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, in which case,
TFS shall not exercise its right of termination under the Master Lease as it
relates to the Sublet Premises. In addition, TFS agrees that it shall not
exercise its one-time cancellation option granted under the Second Amendment to
Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises without the prior written consent of
Brillian.
( c) TFS shall have no duty to perform any obligations of or
provide any services to be provided by the Master Landlord and shall under no
circumstances be responsible or liable to Brillian for any default, failure, or
delay on the part of the Master Landlord in the performance of any obligations
under the Master Lease, nor shall such default of the Master Landlord affect
Brillian's obligations hereunder; provided, that in the event of any such
default or failure of performance by Master Landlord, TFS agrees, upon notice
from Brillian, to make demand upon Master Landlord to perform its obligations
under the Master Lease and to otherwise cooperate reasonably with Brillian as
Brillian may reasonably request, in enforcing the remedies provided in the
Master Lease.
4
7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one of the following events
shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Sublease:
(a) Brillian fails to pay Base Rent, Services Rent, Variable
Rent, and any other Rent or other sum of money when due under this Sublease
within three (3) business days after receipt by Brillian of written notice from
TFS that such amount is due; provided, however, that TFS shall not be required
to give more than two written notices in any twelve month period;
(b) Brillian assigns this Sublease or sublets all or a portion
of the Sublet Premises, or attempts to do the aforementioned, in violation of
Paragraph 19 hereof;
(c) Brillian fails to perform any of its other obligations
under this Sublease or the Master Lease and such failure continues for ten (10)
days after the receipt by Brillian of written notice of default with respect to
such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brillian shall not be in default
under this Sublease with respect to any non-monetary breach (other than those
listed in subparagraph b above) that may be cured by the performance of
affirmative acts if Brillian promptly commences the performance of said
affirmative acts and diligently prosecutes the same to completion as soon as
possible, and in any event, within not more than the time period prescribed for
TFS to cure such default under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the foregoing, if Brillian fails to maintain the insurance
required in Paragraph 17 hereof, TFS may, in addition to any other remedies
herein contained, immediately upon such failure (but TFS shall not be so
obligated), at Brillian's sole cost and expense, procure the insurance coverage
required herein, and if Brillian shall fail to reimburse TFS for the costs and
expenses it incurred in procuring such coverage, within fifteen (15) days of
notice from TFS, an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder.
8. REMEDIES OF TFS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, TFS
shall have all of the rights and remedies available under the Master Lease and
at law or in equity. All remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive.
9. ACCESS TO SUBLET PREMISES. Except in the event of an emergency in
which case no notice shall be required, TFS or Master Landlord or any of their
respective agents, contractors, or employees may enter the Sublet Premises
during normal business hours upon 24 hours advance notice (except in the event
of an emergency), to inspect the Sublet Premises, or during the last six (6)
months of the term of this Sublease to show said property to persons seeking to
rent or purchase the Sublet Premises, or to make repairs or improvements to the
Sublet Premises. This paragraph is not to be construed as obligating TFS to make
any repairs.
10. WAIVERS BY BRILLIAN; HOLDOVER.
(a) Except for any notice expressly provided for in this
Sublease, Brillian waives to TFS the benefit of all laws now or hereafter in
force, in this state or elsewhere, requiring notice to vacate the Sublet
Premises at the end of the term or any extensions or renewals thereof. Brillian
covenants and agrees to give up quiet and peaceful possession without further
notice from TFS or its agent at the end of the term of this Sublease. Brillian
also waives to TFS the benefit of all laws now or hereafter in force, in this
state or elsewhere, exempting property from liability for rent, or for debt.
(b) If Brillian shall not immediately surrender the Sublet
Premises on the day after the termination or expiration of the term of this
Sublease, then Brillian shall, by virtue of this
5
Sublease, become a sublessee at the sufferance of TFS at twice the immediately
preceding Base Sublease Rent agreed by Brillian to be paid as aforesaid, and
Brillian shall be subject to all of the other conditions and covenants of this
Sublease.
11. LATE PAYMENT. If Brillian shall fail to pay when the same is due
and payable, Base Rent, Services Rent, Variable Rent, and any Rent allocable to
or relating to the Sublet Premises, or other sums due under this Sublease,
interest shall be charged on all unpaid amounts at the amount of the late charge
provided for in the Master Lease.
12. INDEMNITY. In addition to the indemnity provided for in the Master
Lease, Brillian shall indemnify and hold TFS and Master Landlord harmless from
and defend TFS and Master Landlord with counsel reasonably satisfactory to TFS
and Master Landlord against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages,
costs, and expenses, for any injury or damage to any person or property
whatsoever, occurring in, on, or about the Sublet Premises or other portions of
the Building or when such injury or damage shall be caused in part or in whole
by the neglect, fault, or omission of Brillian, its employees, invitees,
contractors, subcontractors, licensees, subtenants, or agents.
TFS shall indemnify and hold Brillian harmless from and defend Brillian
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Brillian against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses caused by any representation
or warranty made by TFS in Paragraph 5 hereof being false or misleading, by any
default by TFS under the Master Lease, or by TFS's exercise of its cancellation
rights under the Second Amendment to Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall either party be liable
for consequential, indirect, or special damages to the other party.
13. MASTER LEASE DEFAULTS. TFS will not cause or knowingly allow to be
caused any default under the Master Lease which shall remain uncured at the
expiration of the applicable cure period set forth therein, unless such default
arises out of a failure by Brillian to perform its obligations under this
Sublease. TFS will deliver to Brillian a copy of any notice of default by TFS
under the Master Lease within five (5) days after receipt thereof by TFS. In
addition, in the event TFS is in default under the Master Lease and such default
continues beyond the expiration of the applicable grace period set forth therein
(a "Master Lease Continuing Default"), Brillian shall thereafter have the right
(but not the obligation) to cure such Master Lease Continuing Default, if
Brillian's cure of such Master Lease Continuing Default is acceptable to Master
Landlord and provided that Brillian gives TFS prior written notice of such
undertaking.
14. RESTORATION. Brillian shall immediately prior to the expiration or
sooner termination of this Sublease, surrender the Sublet Premises in the
condition required under the Master Lease and otherwise in broom clean and good
condition, normal wear and tear excepted. In the event of termination of this
Sublease in any manner whatsoever, Brillian shall forthwith remove Brillian's
goods and effects and those of any other persons claiming under Brillian or
subtenancies assigned to it, and quit and deliver the Sublet Premises to TFS
peaceably and quietly. Goods and effects not removed by Brillian on or before
the date of termination of this Sublease (or within forty-eight (48) hours after
a termination by reason of Brillian's default) shall be considered abandoned.
TFS shall give Brillian notice of right to reclaim abandoned property pursuant
to
6
applicable local law and may thereafter dispose of the same as it deems
expedient, including storage in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and
for the account of Brillian, but Brillian shall promptly upon demand reimburse
TFS for any expenses incurred by TFS in connection therewith, which obligation
shall survive the termination or expiration of this Sublease.
15. NOTICES. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and will be
effective upon receipt if delivered personally or by nationally recognized
overnight courier service to a party's address set forth below or to such other
address as either may give to the other in writing for such purpose:

16. BRILLIAN'S INSURANCE.
(a) Brillian shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain
during the term hereof all insurance coverages required to be maintained by the
tenant under the Master Lease. In addition to the above, Brillian shall also
separately maintain a 1 million dollar insurance policy to cover catastrophic
damage to the building that results from Brillian's use of the leasehold
premises. This policy will specifically and solely name TFS as the beneficiary.
Copies of all policies or certificates evidencing said insurance shall be
delivered to TFS prior to the Commencement Date and renewals thereof shall be
delivered to TFS prior to the expiration of any such policy. If Brillian fails
to adhere to the requirements of this Paragraph 16, TFS, in addition to any
other remedies it may have, may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof
to Brillian, which amount shall be payable by Brillian upon demand as Additional
Sublease Rent.
(b) All insurance required to be carried by Brillian shall be
issued in the coverages and amounts required under the Master Lease by
responsible insurance companies, qualified to do business in the locality where
the Sublet Premises are located and reasonably acceptable to TFS and Master
Landlord and shall provide (i) that no change or cancellation of said policies
shall be made without thirty (30) days prior written notice to TFS and Brillian;
(ii) that any coverage of TFS or sum payable to TFS shall be unaffected by any
act or omission of Brillian or any other insured which might otherwise result in
forfeiture of said insurance; and (iii) that the insurance company issuing the
same shall not have any right of subrogation against TFS or TFS's insurer. Each
policy and renewal shall name TFS, any mortgagee and Master Landlord as an
additional insured and, in the case of casualty insurance for other than
Brillian's personal property, shall name TFS as loss payee. Copies of all
policies or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of said insurance
shall be delivered to
7
TFS by Brillian upon request. Each policy shall also contain provisions required
by any mortgagee of the Sublet Premises or any portion thereof.
(c) Copies of all policies or certificates evidencing said
insurance shall be delivered to TFS prior to the Commencement Date and renewals
thereof shall be delivered to TFS prior to the expiration of any such policy. If
Brillian fails to adhere to the requirements of this Paragraph 16, TFS, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, may order such insurance and charge
the cost thereof to Brillian, which amount shall be payable by Brillian upon
demand as Additional Sublease Rent.
(d) Brillian hereby waives any and all rights of recovery
against TFS and its officers, employees, agents, and representatives for loss of
or damage to Brillian or its property or the property of others under its
control, arising from any cause insured or required to be insured against by
Brillian, irrespective of whether such loss or damage is caused by negligence of
TFS or any of its employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees,
subtenants, or agents. Brillian shall obtain and furnish evidence to TFS of the
waiver by Brillian's insurance carriers of any right of subrogation against TFS.
17. ALTERATIONS.
(a) Brillian shall not make any building or leasehold
alterations or additions, including remodeling or signage, without first
obtaining Master Landlord's and TFS's consent, which TFS's and Master Landlord's
consent may be withheld in their sole discretion. If any such alterations or
additions are made, Brillian agrees not to permit any mechanics' liens to be
placed on the Sublet Premises or any portion thereof and to cause any contract
for work to be done at the Sublet Premises to contain a waiver of the
contractor's right to file a mechanics' lien. Any alterations of any kind to the
Sublet Premises or any part thereof, except Brillian's trade fixtures which can
be removed without damage or defacement to the Sublet Premises or any other
portion of the Building, shall be surrendered with the Sublet Premises, as a
part thereof, at the end of the Sublease Term; provided, however, that TFS may
require at the time TFS and Master Landlord consent to such alteration or
fixture Brillian to remove any alterations or fixtures made by Brillian, and to
repair any damage to the Sublet Premises caused by such removal, all at
Brillian's sole expense. Any alterations installed by Brillian shall be deemed a
part of the Sublet Premises and shall be maintained and repaired by Brillian in
the same manner as that required for all other portions of the Sublet Premises.
(b) Brillian shall have the right to place a sign or signs on
the facade of the Building, provided, however: (i) TFS (and the Master Landlord
to the extent that such consent from the Master Landlord is required under the
Master Lease) shall have the right to consent to the size, style, and location
of any such signs, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(ii) any such signs shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations,
and covenants, conditions, and restrictions of record; and (iii) TFS may require
that Brillian remove any such signs at the expiration of the Term and repair any
damage to the Building caused by such removal, all at Brillian's sole expense.
18. CONDEMNATION. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or
partial taking of the Sublet Premises shall belong to and be the property of TFS
without any participation by Brillian; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be construed to preclude
8
Brillian from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in
such condemnation proceedings for loss of business, and/or depreciation to,
damage to, and/or cost of removal of, and/or for the value of stock and/or trade
fixtures, furniture, and other personal property belonging to Brillian;
provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely
affect TFS's and/or Master Landlord's award or the award(s) of any and all
ground and underlying lessor(s) and mortgagee(s).
19. ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Without the written consent of TFS, which consent may be
withheld in TFS's sole discretion, and the consent of Master Landlord, Brillian
shall not by operation of law or otherwise, assign or mortgage this Sublease, or
sublet or license the whole or any part of the Sublet Premises or permit the
Sublet Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brillian may, upon fifteen (15) days prior
written notice to TFS but without TFS's consent, assign or sublet all or any
portion of the Sublet Premises to (i) any entity controlled by or under common
control with Brillian, or (ii) any successor to Brillian by merger or
acquisition of all or substantially of Brillian's assets or the transferee of
more than fifty percent (50%) of Brillian's capital stock, provided that in each
case (i) the proposed assignee or Brillian has a net worth greater than or equal
to the greater of (a) Brillian's net worth on the date of this Sublease, or (b)
Brillian's net worth on the date of such assignment or sublease, and (ii)
Brillian obtains the prior written consent of the Master Landlord to such
assignment or subletting.
(b) Regardless of TFS's consent, no subletting or assignment
shall release or alter Brillian's primary liability to pay Base Sublease Rent
and Additional Sublease Rent and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Brillian hereunder. Upon a default hereunder by any assignee or
sublessee of Brillian, TFS may proceed directly against Brillian without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or sublessee. TFS may
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting of this Sublease and such
action shall not relieve Brillian of liability under this Sublease.
(c) Each permitted assignee or transferee shall assume and be
deemed to have assumed this Sublease and shall be and remain liable jointly and
severally with Brillian for the payment of the Base Sublease Rent and Additional
Sublease Rent and for the due performance of all of the provisions, covenants,
conditions, and agreements herein contained on Brillian's part to be performed
for the term of this Sublease. No otherwise permitted assignment or transfer
shall be binding on TFS unless such assignee or transferee shall deliver to TFS
a counterpart of such assignment and an instrument in recordable form which
contains a covenant of assumption by the assignee or transferee, but the failure
or refusal of the assignee or transferee to execute such instrument of
assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee or transferee from its
liability as set forth above.
(d) Any consent by TFS or Master Landlord to any act of
assignment or subletting shall be held to apply only to the specific assignment
or subletting thereby authorized. Such consent shall not be construed as a
waiver of the duty of Brillian, or the legal representatives or assigns of
Brillian, to obtain from TFS or Master Landlord consent to any other or
subsequent assignment or subletting, or as modifying or limiting the rights of
TFS or Master Landlord under the foregoing covenant by Brillian not to assign or
sublet without consent.
9
(e) If this Sublease is assigned or transferred, or if the
Sublet Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by any person other
than Brillian, or if an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, TFS may collect
rent from the successor occupant and apply the net amount collected by it to the
rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the
prohibition against assignment, sublets, and other transfers, or the acceptance
of the successor occupant as tenant, or a release of Brillian from the further
performance of the covenants herein contained on the part of Brillian.
(f) TFS may freely assign this Agreement at any time without
consent or notice to Brillian
20. NO BROKER. Brillian covenants, warrants, and represents that there
was no broker involved in consummating this Sublease, and that no conversations
or prior negotiations were had with any broker concerning the renting of the
Sublet Premises. Brillian and TFS agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the other
party harmless against any claims for brokerage commission arising out of any
conversations or negotiations had by the indemnifying party with any broker.
21. LIABILITY OF TFS. TFS shall not be liable for any injury or damage
to any person or to any property at any time on the Sublet Premises from any
cause whatsoever that may at any time exist from the use or condition of said
Sublet Premises or Building, or from failure of water supply or electric current
or from steam, electricity, water, gas, or rain which leak or flow from or into
any part of the Sublet Premises, or from breakage, leakage, obstruction or from
difficulties to the pipes, lines, appliances, plumbing, or lighting fixtures,
awnings, or signs in or upon the Sublet Premises, or from any other cause,
during the term of this Sublease or any renewal or extension hereof except to
the extent solely caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of
TFS or its agents.
22. EFFECT. This Sublease shall be binding upon the parties hereto,
their successors and permitted assigns, and may not be altered, amended,
terminated, or modified except by written instrument executed by each of the
parties hereto.
23. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If the Sublet Premises shall be partially
damaged by fire or other cause, repairs shall be in accordance with the terms of
the Master Lease which shall also determine to what extent, if any, the rent
shall be abated. If the Sublet Premises shall be totally destroyed by fire or
other cause at any time prior to the end of the term of this Sublease, Brillian
agrees to be bound by Master Landlord's decision made in accordance with the
applicable terms of the Master Lease, if any, as to whether or not the Sublet
Premises is to be restored and whether or not the Master Lease shall remain in
effect. Brillian's obligation to pay rent under the Sublease shall be governed
by the terms of the Master Lease, if any, applicable to abatement of TFS's
rental under the Master Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises.
24. NOTICE. Brillian shall notify TFS of any damage to the Sublet
Premises by fire or other casualty and also of any dangerous or defective
condition within the Sublet Premises immediately upon the occurrence of such
fire or other casualty or discovery of such condition. Except as affected by the
giving or failure to give such notice, nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to limit or enlarge the respective rights and liabilities of either party
arising from the negligent acts or conduct of the other.
10
25. RELATIONSHIP. It is understood, covenanted, and agreed between the
parties hereto that nothing in this Sublease shall constitute TFS an employer,
employee, principal, agent, or partner of Brillian and the relationship hereby
created between the parties hereto shall be strictly and solely that of
sublessor and sublessee.
26. WAIVERS. No waiver of any covenant or condition by TFS shall be
construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant
or condition, and the consent or approval by TFS to or of any act by Brillian
requiring TFS's consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render
unnecessary TFS's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by
Brillian.
27. FORUM. This Sublease shall be governed by the laws of the state of
Arizona.
28. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; AUTHORITY. If two or more individuals,
corporations, partnerships, or other business associations (or any combination
of two or more thereof) shall sign this Sublease as sublessor, the liability of
each such individual, corporation, partnership, or other business association to
pay rent and perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint
and several, and all notices, payments, and agreements given or made by, with,
or to any one of such individuals, corporations, partnerships, or other business
associations shall be deemed to have been given or made by, with, or to all of
them. In like manner, if sublessor shall be a partnership or other business
association, the members of which are, by virtue of statute or federal law,
subject to personal liability, the liability of each such member shall be joint
and several.
29. NO OPTION; CONSENT OF MASTER LANDLORD. This Sublease shall become
effective only upon execution and delivery thereof by both parties and upon
Master Landlord's written consent to the terms of this Sublease in substantially
the form of consent attached hereto as Exhibit F and made a part hereof. TFS
shall use best efforts to obtain Master Landlord's written consent; provided
that in no event shall TFS be obligated to commence any legal proceeding to
obtain or attempt to obtain Master Landlord's consent.
30. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Brillian nor TFS shall be deemed in default
under this Sublease (excluding, however, monetary defaults) to the extent that
any such failure stems from a cause beyond the reasonable control of the
respective party, including, without limitation, any act of God, war,
insurrection, applicable governmental or judicial law or regulation, zoning
ordinance, labor strike, order, or decree.
31. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN TFS
AND BRILLIAN THAT THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES HERETO SHALL AND DO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE
PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE)
ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS
SUBLEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF TFS AND BRILLIAN, AND BRILLIAN'S USE OR OCCUPANCY
OF SAID SUBLET PREMISES.
11
32. TFS'S PURCHASE OF BUILDING. Brillian expressly acknowledges that
TFS has the right pursuant to Sections 15 and 16 of the Master Lease to purchase
the Building. In the event TFS purchases the Building, which event shall be
evidenced by a written notice of such purchase from TFS to Brillian, then in
such event this Sublease shall be deemed a prime lease by and between TFS, as
owner of the Building, and Brillian, as tenant of the Sublet Premises.
33. GROUND SUBLEASE.
(a) Brillian hereby expressly acknowledges that the Sublease
of the Sublet Premises is subject to the terms and conditions of the Ground
Sublease.
(b) All the obligations of TFS contained in the Ground
Sublease as they relate to the Sublet Premises are hereby conferred and imposed
upon Brillian, except as expressly modified and amended by this Sublease.
Brillian covenants and agrees fully and faithfully to perform the terms and
conditions of the Ground Sublease as they relate to the Sublet Premises and this
Sublease on its part to be performed, including, but not limited to, all
maintenance and repair obligations and all compliance with law obligations.
Brillian shall not do or cause to be done or suffer or permit any act to be done
that would or might cause the Ground Sublease, or the rights of TFS as tenant
under the Ground Sublease, to be endangered, canceled, terminated, forfeited, or
surrendered, or that would or might cause TFS to be in default thereunder or
liable for any damage, claim, or penalty. Brillian agrees, as an express
inducement for TFS's executing this Sublease, that if there is any conflict
between the provisions of this Sublease and the provisions of the Ground
Sublease that would permit Brillian to do or cause to be done or suffer or
permit any act or thing to be done that is prohibited by the Ground Sublease,
then the provisions of the Ground Sublease shall prevail. All rights, remedies,
and indemnifications given to the Ground Lessor in the Ground Sublease are
hereby given to TFS under this Sublease.
(c) If any event occurs that would permit TFS to terminate the
Ground Sublease as it relates to the Sublet Premises, Brillian shall notify TFS
of such occurrence and of its recommendations immediately with regard to such
termination rights. TFS shall decide in its reasonable discretion whether or not
to terminate the Ground Sublease and shall give Brillian written notice of such
decision. If TFS elects to terminate the Ground Sublease as it relates to the
Sublet Premises, this Sublease shall terminate on the earlier of the date of
termination of the Ground Sublease or the date which is (30) days after
Brillian's receipt of such written notice from TFS. In the event that TFS elects
to terminate the Ground Sublease prior to providing notice to the Ground Lessor,
TFS must provide prior written notice to Brillian of its intent to terminate
this Sublease, and within five (5) days after the receipt of such notice from
TFS, Brillian may notify TFS in writing that it intends to continue possession
of the Sublet Premises under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, in which
case, TFS shall not exercise its right of termination under the Ground Sublease
as it relates to the Sublet Premises.
(d) TFS shall have no duty to perform any obligations of or
provide any services to be provided by the Ground Lessor and shall under no
circumstances be responsible or liable to Brillian for any default, failure, or
delay on the part of the Ground Lessor in the performance of any obligations
under the Ground Sublease, nor shall such default of the Ground Lessor affect
Brillian's obligations hereunder; provided, that in the event of any such
default or failure of performance by Ground Lessor, TFS agrees, upon notice from
Brillian, to make demand upon Ground Lessor to
12
perform its obligations under the Ground Sublease and to otherwise cooperate
reasonably with Brillian as Brillian may reasonably request, in enforcing the
remedies provided in the Ground Sublease.
(e) TFS will not cause or knowingly allow to be caused any
default under the Ground Sublease which shall remain uncured at the expiration
of the applicable cure period set forth therein, unless such default arises out
of a failure by Brillian to perform its obligations under this Sublease. TFS
will deliver to Brillian a copy of any notice of default by TFS under the Ground
Sublease within five (5) days after receipt thereof by TFS. In addition, in the
event TFS is in default under the Ground Sublease and such default continues
beyond the expiration of the applicable grace period set forth therein (a
"Ground Sublease Continuing Default"), Brillian shall thereafter have the right
(but not the obligation) to cure such Ground Sublease Continuing Default, if
Brillian's cure of such Ground Sublease Continuing Default is acceptable to
Ground Lessor and provided that Brillian gives TFS prior written notice of such
undertaking.
(f) TFS shall use its best efforts to obtain Ground Lessor's
written consent to this Sublease in order that Brillian have the protections of
Article 16 of the Ground Sublease as a "Permitted Sublease" (as such term is
defined in Section 17.2 of the Ground Sublease); provided, that in no event
shall TFS be obligated to commence any legal proceeding to obtain or attempt to
obtain Ground Lessor's consent. Furthermore, Brillian expressly acknowledges
that TFS has the right pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Ground Sublease to
purchase the Land, in which event the Master Ground Lease (as such term is
defined in the Ground Sublease) shall be amended to delete the Land as of the
closing of such purchase, as more fully set forth in Section 3.3(B)(3) of the
Ground Sublease. In the event TFS purchases the Land, which event shall be
evidenced by a written notice of such purchase from TFS to Brillian, then in
such event this Sublease shall be deemed a prime lease by and between TFS, as
owner of the Land, and Brillian, as tenant of the Sublet Premises.

action with respect to such failure, including without limitation any action to
terminate, rescind, or avoid the Master Lease or to withhold any rent
