in excess of $ 1996 Base Year ("Base Operating Expenses") per annum.
-------------------
Operating Expenses
As used herein, the term "Operating Expenses" shall include (but not be

taxes and assessments; rent taxes (if applicable); water and sewer charges;
insurance premiums; utilities; supply and materials costs; license and permit

Property, including without limitation, janitorial service, gardening, security,
parking, elevator, painting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, window washing, parking and grounds maintenance,
snow removal, and refuse service. Operating expenses shall not include
depreciation on the building on which the premises are a part or equipment
therein, loan payments, or brokerage commissions.
Leasee's proportionate share of any increase in Operating Expenses is
5.75%. This percentage is that portion of the total gross rentable area of the
building occupied by the Lessee hereunder.
Lessor shall give to Lessee on or before the first day of April of each
year following the year in which the Lease commences a statement of the increase
in rent payable by Lessee hereunder (both on an annual basis and on a monthly
installment basis), but failure
-1-
14
No Lessee shall lay linoleum, tile, carpet or other similar floor covering
so that the same shall be affixed to the floor of the premises in any manner
except as approved by the Lessor. The expense of repairing any damage resulting
from a violation of this rule or removal of any floor covering shall be borne
by the Lessee by whom, or by whose contractors, employees or invitees, the
damage shall have been caused.
15
No furniture, packages, supplies, equipment or merchandise will be received
in the building or carried up or down in the elevators, except between such
hours and in such elevators as shall be designated by Lessor.
16
On Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, and on other days between the
hours of 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M. the following day, access to the building, or
to the halls, corridors, elevators or stairways in the building, or to the
premises may be refused unless the person seeking access is known to the person
or employee of the building in charge and has a pass or is properly identified.
The Lessor shall in no case be liable for damages for any error with regard to
the admission to or exclusion from the building of any person. In case of
invasion, mob, riot, public excitement, or other commotion, the Lessor reserves
the right to prevent access to the building during the continuance of the same
by closing the doors or otherwise, for the safety of the Lessees and protection
of property in the building and the building.
17
Lessee shall see that the doors of the premises are closed and securely
locked before leaving the building and must observe strict care and caution that
all water faucets or water apparatus are entirely shut off, so as to prevent
waste or damage, and for any default of carelessness Lessee shall make good all
injuries sustained by other tenants or occupants of the building of Lessor.
18
Lessor reserves the right to exclude or expel from the building any person
who, in the judgment of Lessor, is intoxicated or under the influence of liquor
or drugs, or who shall in any manner do any act in violation of any of the rules
and regulations of the building.
19
The requirements of Lessee will be attended to only upon application at the
Office of the Building. Employees of Lessor shall not perform any work or do
anything outside of their regular duties unless under special instructions from
the Lessor, and no employee will admit any person (Lessee or otherwise) to any
office without specific instructions from the Lessor.
20
No vending machine or machines of any description or kind may be maintained
or operated upon the premises without the written consent of Lessor.
21
Lessor shall have the right, exercisable without notice and without
liability to Lessee, to change the name and the street address of the building
of which the premises are a part.
22
Lessee shall not disturb, solicit, or canvass any occupant of the building
and shall cooperate to prevent same.
23
Without the written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not use the name of the
building in connection with or in promoting or advertising the business of
Lessee except as Lessee's address.
24
The word "building" as used herein means the building of which the premises
are a part.
-2-
Lessor to give such Statement by said date shall not constitute a waiver
by Lessor of its right to require an increase in rent, so long as such notice is
given not later than December 31 of the year in question. Upon receipt of said
Statement, Lessee shall pay in full, within fifteen (15) days thereafter.
Lessee's share of the total amount of the increase due (based upon the number of
months the Lease was in effect during the prior year), and in addition for the
then current year Lessee shall pay the Lessor an amount equal to one monthly
installment multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar
year in which the Statement is rendered to the month of such payment, both
months inclusive. Subsequent monthly installments shall be payable concurrently
with the regular monthly rent payments for the balance of that calendar year,
and shall continue until the next comparison year's Statement is rendered. If
the next or any succeeding comparison year results in a greater increase in
Operating Expenses, then upon receipt of the Statement from Lessor, Lessee shall
pay a lump sum equal to Leasee's share of such total increase in Operating
Expenses less the total of the monthly installments of estimated increase paid
in the previous calendar year for which comparison is then being made; and the
estimated monthly installments to be paid for the next year following said
comparison year shall be adjusted to reflect such increase. If in any comparison
year the Leasee's share of Operating Expenses are less than the preceeding year,
then upon receipt of Lessor's Statement, any overpayment made by Lessee on the
monthly installment basis provided above shall be credited towards the next
monthly rent following due and the estimated monthly installments of Operating
Expenses to be paid shall be adjusted to reflect such lower Operating Expenses
for the most recent comparison year.
By way of example and illustration of the above provisions, the following
hypothetical Lease is assumed:
(a) Leasee's base monthly rent is $1,000; (b) Leasee's Lease commenced on
July 1 of the prior year; (c) Lessee's portion of the increase in Operating
Expenses for the comparison year is $360, or $30 per month; and (d) the
Statement is delivered to Lessee on March 1 of the current calendar year.
Under the above facts, Lessee would be required to pay to Lessor upon
receipt of the Statement the sum of $240, representing the monthly increase
attributable to the last six months of the year in which the Lease commenced and
the first two months of the current calendar year, and commencing March of the
current calendar year, Leasee's total monthly rent would be increased to $1,030.
Lessor agrees to maintain records concerning the cost of Operating Expenses
for all comparison years for a period not less than 150 days after the date
Lessor delivers to Lessee the Statement setting forth the previous year's
cost increase. Lessee shall have the right to inspect and copy such records.
If the Lease term has expired and Lessee has vacated the premises, when
the final determination is made of Lessee's share of Operating Expense increases
for the year in which this Lease terminates, Lessee shall immediately pay any
increase due over the estimated expenses paid, and conversely, any overpayment
made in the event said expense is decreased shall be immediately rebated by
Lessor to Lessee.
USES PROHIBITED. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in or
about the premises nor being or keep anything herein which will in any way
increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon the
building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy
covering said building or any part thereof or any of its contents. Lessee shall
not do or permit anything to be done in or about the premises which will in any
way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the
building or injure or annoy them or use or allow the premises to be used for any
improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause,
maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the premises. Lessee shall not
commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the premises.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Lessee shall not use the premises or permit anything
to be done in or about the premises which will in any way conflict with any law,
statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense
promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules,
regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force and
with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body
now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or
occupancy of the premises excluding structural changes not related to or
affected by Leasee's improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee,
whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any law,
statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.
7. ALTERATIONS. As of the date Lessor delivers the premises to Tenant and
continuing thereafter until the original term expires, Lessee shall have the
right to make non-structural alterations, additions and improvements to the
premises, including, but not limited to, the installation of partitions,
carpeting, light fixtures, window hangings, wall hangings, furnitures, and trade
fixtures (the "Improvements"); provided, in no event shall Lessee make such
alterations or improvements without first obtaining Lessor's prior approval of
the proposed improvement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Lessee may contract with a third party or Lessor for the construction of such
improvements; provided, Lessor shall have the right to approve any such third
party contractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Upon the expiration or termination of the Lease, Lessee, upon Lessor's
demand, shall at its cost remove any improvements to the premises which are
designated by Lessor to be removed and Lessee shall forthwith and with all due
diligence and at its sole cost and expense, repair any damage to the premises
caused by such removal. Upon the expiration or termination of the Lease, Lessee
shall have the right to remove all improvements owned by it which are not
attached or affixed to the premises.
8. REPAIRS AND DAMAGES. By entry hereunder Lessee accepts the premises as
being in good, sanitary order, condition and repair. Lessee hereby waives all
rights to make repairs at the expense of Lessor as provided by any law, statute
or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Lessee shall, upon the expiration or
sooner termination of the term hereof, surrender the premises to Lessor in the
same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire,
earthquake, act of God or the elements excepted. It is specifically understood
and agreed that Lessor has no obligation and has made no promises to any part
thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the premises or
the building of which the premises are a part have been made by Lessor to Lessee
except as specifically herein set forth.
9. ABANDONMENT. Lessee shall not vacate or abandon the premises at any time
during the term, and if Lessee shall abandon, vacate or surrender said premises,
or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property
belonging to Lessee and left on the premises shall be deemed to be abandoned.
10. LIENS. Lessee shall keep the premises and the property in which the
premises are situated free from any liens arising out or any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee.
11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Lessee shall not assign, transfer, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall
not sublet the said premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege
appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person (the agents and servants of
Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the said premises, or any portion thereof,
without the written consent of Lessor first had and obtained, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and a consent to one assignment, subletting,
occupation or use by another person. Any such assignment or subletting without
such consent shall be void, and shall at the option of Lessor, terminate this
Lease. Any sublease or assignment agreed to by Lessor shall in no way relieve
Lessee of responsibility of making rent payments to Lessor in the event of a
default by the assignee or "sub-lessee" in making their rent payments for the
terms of the original lease or any extensions thereof. This Lease shall not, nor
shall any interest therein, be assignable as to the interest of Lessee by
operation of law, without the written consent of Lessor.
12. INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee, and
Lessee hereby waives all claims against Lessor, for any injury or damage to any
person or property in or about the premises by or from any cause whatsoever,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether caused by water
leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the
premises or the building, or caused by gas, fire, oil, electricity or any cause
whatsoever in, on or about the premises of the building or any part thereof,
Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from any and all claims or liability from
injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever: (1) occurring in or about
the premises or any part thereof and (2) occurring in or about any facilities
without
-2-
prejudice to the generality of the term "facilities," elevators, stairways,
passageways, hallways and parking areas, the use of which Lessee may have in
conjunction with other tenants of the building, when such injury or damage shall
be caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault of or omission of any
duty with respect to the same by Lessee, its agents, servants, employees or
invitees.
13. INSURANCE. Lessee agrees during the term hereof to carry public liability
insurance covering the premises in an amount of not less than Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00)for injury and/or death to any one person and Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) for injury and/or death to any number of
persons in any one accident, and property damage insurance in an amount of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars($100,000.00) in companies satisfactory to Lessor in the
name of Lessee (with Lessor named as an additional insured), to pay the premiums
therefor and to deliver said policies or certificates thereof to Lessor, and the
failure of Lessee either to effect said insurance in the names herein called
for, or to permit Lessor to procure said insurance, or to pay the requisite
premiums therefor or to deliver said policies or certificates or duplicates
thereof to Lessor, shall permit Lessor to procure said insurance and pay the
requisite premiums therefor, which premiums shall be repayable to Lessor with
the next installment of rent. Each insurer under the policies required hereunder
shall agree by endorsement on the policy issued by it or by independent
instrument furnished to Lessor that it will give Lessor no fewer than ten (10)
days written notice before the policy or policies in question shall be altered
or cancelled.
14. SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Lessor agrees to furnish to the premises during
reasonable hours of generally recognized business days, to be determined by
Lessor, and subject to the rules and regulations of the building of which the
premises are a part, water and electricity suitable for the intended use of the
premises, heat and air conditioning necessary for the comfortable use and
occupation of the premises, and janitorial service. Lessor shall also maintain
and keep lighted the common stairs, entries and toilet rooms in the building of
which the demised premises are a part. Lessee shall not be entitled to any
abatement or reduction of rental by reason of Lessor's failure to furnish any of
the foregoing when such failure is caused by accidents, breakage, repairs,
strikes, lockouts of other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any
character, or by any other similar cause, beyond the reasonable control of
Lessor; provided, should Lessor fail to furnish such services for a continuous
period of time in excess of ten (10) days unless the result of causes beyond
Lessor's reasonable control, Lessee shall, as of the eleventh (11th) day have
the right to reduce its rental by reason of such failure to supply services.
Wherever heat generating machines or equipment are used in the premises which
affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system.
Lessor reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the
premises and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation and the cost
of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon
demand by Lessor.
Lessee will not, without the written consent of Lessor, use any apparatus
or device in the premises, including but without limitation thereto, computers,
electronic data processing machines, punch card machines and machines using
current in excess of 110 volts, which will in any way increase the amount of
electricity or water usually furnished or supplied for use of the premises as
general office space; nor connect with electric current, except through existing
electrical outlets in the premises, or water pipes, any apparatus or device, for
the purposes of using electric current or water. If Lessee shall require water
or electric current in excess of that usually furnished or supplied for use of
the premises as general office space, Lessee shall first procure the consent of
Lessor, which Lessor may refuse, to the use thereof and Leasee may cause a water
meter or electric current meter to be installed in the premises, so as to
measure the amount of water and electric current consumed for any such use. The
cost of any such meters and installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall
be paid for by Lessee and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor promptly upon demand
therefor by Lessor for all such water and electric current consumed as shown by
said meters, at the rates charged for such services by the local public utility
furnishing the same, plus any additional expenses incurred in keeping account of
the water and electric current so consumed.
15. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee agrees to pay or cause to be paid, before
delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable
during the term hereof upon all equipment, furniture, fixtures and other
personal property located in the premises; except that which may be owned by
Lessor.
16. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the
rules and regulations printed as Exhibit "A" to this Lease and all reasonable
modifications of and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by
Lessor, provided that in such event Lessor shall give notice thereof to Lessee.
Lessor shall not be responsible to Lessee for the non-performance by any other
tenant or occupant of the building of any of said rules and regulations.
17. HOLDING OVER. If, with Lessor's consent, Lessee holds possession of the
premises after the term of this Lease, Lessee shall become a tenant from month
to month upon the terms herein specified but at a monthly rental equivalent to
the then prevailing rental paid by Lessee at the expiration of the term of this
Lease pursuant to all of the provisions of Paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof payable in
advance on or upon the first day of each month, and Lessee shall continue in
possession until such tenancy shall be terminated by Lessor, or until Lessee
shall have given to Lessor a written notice at least one month prior to the date
of termination of such monthly tenancy of his intention to terminate such
tenancy.
18. ENTRY BY LESSOR. Lessor reserves and shall at any and all times have the
right to enter the premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial service
and any other service to be provided by Lessor to Lessee hereunder, and submit
said premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of
nonresponsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the premises and any portion
of the building of which the premises are a part, without abatement of rent, and
may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where
reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always
providing the entrance to the premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further
providing that the business of Lessee shall not be interfered with unreasonably.
Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or
interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of
the premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid
purposes, Lessor shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock
all of the doors in, upon and about the premises, excluding Lessee's vaults and
safes, and Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means which Lessor may
deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the
premises, and any entry to the premises obtained by Lessor by any of said means,
or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a
forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the premises or an eviction
of Lessee from the premises or any portion thereof.
19. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
(i) Any failure by Lessee to pay the rental or to make any other
payments required to be made by Lessee hereunder (where such failure continues
for ten [10] days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee).
(ii) The abandonment or vacation of the premises by Lessee.
(iii) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure
continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee;
provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty day period Lessee shall not be
deemed to be in default of Lessee shall within such period commence such cure
and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion.
(iv) The making by Lessee of any general assignment for the benefit
of creditors; the filing by or against Lessee of a petition to have Lessee
adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any
law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days): the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, including an
attempted assumption of this Lease by the Trustee under Section 70B of the
Bankruptcy Act, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30)
days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially
all of Lessee's assets located at the premises or of Lessee's interest in this
Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
In the event of any such default by Lessee, then in addition to any other
remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the
immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder by
giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Lessor
shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Lessor may recover from Lessee:
(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been
earned at the time of such termination; plus
-3-
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss Lessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the
detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform his obligation under
this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom, and
(v) At Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term "rent," as used herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean the
rental, rental adjustment payments and all other sums required to be paid by
Lessee pursuant to the term of this Lease.
As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of
award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum. As used in paragraph (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
In the event of any such default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the
right, with or without terminating this Lease, re-enter the premises and remove
all persons and property from the premises; such property may be removed and
stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
Lessee.
In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the premises by Lessee or in
the event that Lessor shall elect to reenter as provided above or shall take
possession of the premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any
notice provided by law, then if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease as
provided above, then Lessor may from time to time, without terminating this
Lease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the premises or any
part thereof for such term or terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to
the premises.
In the event that Lessor shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by
Lessor from such reletting shall be applied; first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the
payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any
alteration and repairs to the premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and
unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied
in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.
Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any
month which is applied by the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent
payable during that month by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall pay such
deficiency to Lessor immediately upon demand therefor by Lessor. Such deficiency
shall be calculated and paid monthly. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor, as soon
as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such reletting or
in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received
from such reletting.
No re-entry or taking possession of the premises by Lessor pursuant to this
Paragraph 19 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention be given to Lessee or unless the termination
thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any
reletting without termination by Lessor because of any default by Lessee, Lessor
may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such
default.
20. RECONSTRUCTION. In the event the premises or the building of which the
premises are a part are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended
coverage insurance, Lessor agrees to forthwith repair the same; and this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, unless otherwise terminated in accordance
with this Article, except that Lessee shall be entitled, to a proportionate
reduction of rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate
reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall
interfere with the business carried on by Lessee in the premises. Provided,
however, if the damage or destruction renders the premises or the common areas
of the building providing access to the premises unusable, Lessee may terminate
this Lease effective as of the date of the damage and destruction by giving
notice thereof in writing to Lessor unless Lessor shall, after receipt of the
notice, immediately take all necessary emergency action so that the premises can
be utilized for Leasee's normal business use with a minimum of disruption and
thereafter Lessor, within seven (7) days of the date Leasee's notice is given
commences removal of the debris and the restoration of the premises. If
notwithstanding such damage or destruction the building in which the premises is
located remains open for business with the public, Lessor's restoration and
repair shall be completed as soon as reasonably feasible and in no event later
than one-hundred twenty (120) days after such damage and destruction. If the
premises and/or the building are so damaged or destroyed that it will not be
open to the public or usable by Lessee for a period in excess of one hundred
twenty (120) days, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
Lessor written notice thereof, said notice to be effective as of the date it is
given.
In the event the destruction of the premises or of the building is to an
extent greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then full replacement
value, then Lessor shall have the option either: (1) to repair or restore such
damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect; provided, Lessee has not
terminated this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Article, but the
rent to be proportionately reduced as provided above in this paragraph; or (2)
give notice to Lessee at any time within thirty (30) days after such damage,
terminating this Lease as of the date of such notice. In the event of giving of
such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest to the Lessee in the
premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the rent,
reduced by any proportionate reduction, based upon the extent, if any, to which
such damage interfered with the business carried on by Lessee in the premises,
shall be paid up to date of such termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph,
Lessor shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or
restore the premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under
this Paragraph occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this
Lease or any extension thereof.
Lessor shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or
other cause, or to make any repairs or replacement of any panels, decoration,
office fixtures, railing, ceiling, floor covering partitions, or any other
property installed in the premises by Lessee.
21. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the premises shall be taken or
appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent
domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, to terminate
this Lease, and Lessor shall be entitled to any and all income, rent, award, or
any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with
such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. If a part of
the premises shall be so taken or appropriated and neither party hereto shall
elect to terminate this Lease, the rental thereafter to be paid shall be
equitably reduced. Before Lessee may terminate this lease by reason of taking
or appropriation as above provided, such taking or appropriation shall be of
such an extent and nature as to substantially handicap, impede or impair
Lessee's use of the premises for a period in excess of sixty (60) days. If any
part of the building other than the premises shall be so taken or appropriated,
Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease and shall be
entitled to the entire award, as above provided.
22. PLATS AND RIDERS. Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed or initialed by
Lessor and Lessee and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part hereof.
23. SALE BY LESSOR. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Lessor of the
building containing the premises, the same shall operate to release Lessor from
any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, express or
implied, herein contained in favor of Lessee, and in such event Lessee agrees to
look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Lessor in and
to this Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale, and Lessee
agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee.
24. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either
party against the other under this Lease the prevailing party shall be entitled
to recover for the fees of its attorneys in such action or proceeding such
amount as the Court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees.

and performed by Lessee during the term hereof. If Lessee defaults with respect
to any provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions

perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor
shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust,
or ground lease, and shall give written notice to Lessee, 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.

of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by
the Lessor covering the demised premises, Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser
upon any much foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Lessor
under this Lease.

Lessee agrees to comply and conform with municipal, state, and federal laws and
statutes that are in effect concerning hazardous waste, toxic substances, and
chemical substances. Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor and hold Lessor free and
harmless from any liability and cost caused by Lessee's maintenance of hazardous

EXHIBIT 'B'
[THIRD LEVEL FLOOR PLAN APPEARS HERE]
LEASE ADDENDUM "A"
-------------------
This Lease Addendum "A" ("Addendum") is entered into on this 10th day of
September, 1996, by and between Judge Building Group, as Lessor, and City
Search, Inc., as Lessee, and modifies and supersedes the provisions of the
printed form lease agreement ("Lease") entered into between the parties on the
same date hereof covering Suite 300 ("Premises") at the Judge Building, 8 East
Broadway, Salt Lake City, Orem, Utah, in the event of any inconsistencies
between the two.
1. Lease commencement date shall be the date of completion of improvements to
the Premises, which is estimated to be 45 days from execution of the Lease.
Lessee shall pay first month's rent and security deposit upon execution of the
Lease.
2. Lessor shall build-out the Premises in accordance with the layout and
specifications contained in Exhibit "B" attached hereto. Lessor will install
dedicated conduit for all electrical, telephone, and data outlets indicated on
Exhibit "B." Carpeting allowance shall be $14.00 per yard installed. Build-out
shall be done in accordance with building standard construction (vanilla finish)
for wall, doors, jambs, base, lighting, standard grid ceiling, and HVAC. Any
upgrades desired by Lessee shall be at Lessee's expense. Lessee, however, may
elect to have "open ceiling environment" instead of a grid ceiling, in which
case Lessee shall pay 50% of the net additional cost of the open ceiling
environment. Within seven days of execution of the Lease, Lessor shall submit to
Lessee an estimate of the net additional cost of the open ceiling environment,
and Lessee shall notify Lessor within five days thereafter if it desires to have
an open ceiling environment. If Lessee does not notify Lessor of its decision
within said five day period, Lessor shall be entitled to proceed with
installation of the standard grid ceiling. In the event Lessee selects the open
ceiling environment, Lessee understands that sound acoustics of the Premises
will diminish and that certain exposed equipment and fixtures that serve the
Premises will make the Premises noisier and louder, and Lessee agrees that
Lessor shall have no responsibility or obligation to mitigate such increased
sound or noise levels.
3. Lessee shall have access to the premises seven days a week. Lessee's
business hours may extend to after normal business hours and weekends, with use
of HVAC at no extra cost. However, Lessee agrees not to work multiple shifts or
have over-lapping shifts. Further, Lessee agrees not to have more than 40
employees that work
throughout the day at the premises, excepting out of town personnel that work on
a non-recurring basis and regional sales meetings. Lessor will, however, allow
Lessee to exceed said limit to meet demand during periodic peak business cycles
as long as the use of additional employees does not interfere with any other
tenant's peaceful enjoyment of their premises; and provided, further, that the
limit in no event can exceed 50 people without first obtaining Lessor's prior
written consent.
4. Upon execution of the Lease and Pending completion of the premises, Lessee
shall have free use of the space directly east of the Premises, known as Suite
310. Suite 310 consists of approximately 3,000 feet. Lessor shall install
ceiling lights and light fixtures in Suite 310, but Lessee shall otherwise
occupy Suite 301 in its "as-is" condition, and shall be responsible for all
other improvements it needs or desires, including additional electrical, walls,
carpeting, etc. Lessee shall also provide its own janitorial service for said
suite. Lessee shall vacate Suite 310 at the time of completion of the Premises.
5. Lessee shall have the right to five (5) free parking spaces in the
Convenience Parking Lot, located between 400 South and 500 South and Main
Street, for as long as Lessor has the right to lease such parking from the owner
of said lot. In the event Lessor looses the right to lease any of said parking
spaces, there shall be a rent credit to Lessee in the amount of $35.00 per month
per space. In addition, Lessee shall have the right to rent an additional 13
spaces in said lot at the same rate that Lessor pays (currently around $35 per
month), provided Lessee rents such spaces concurrently with the execution of
this Lease. If Lessee later reduces the amount of such parking spaces, Lessor
shall have no obligation to provide the "surrendered" spaces to Lessee for the
remainder of the Lease term.
Lessee shall also have the right to two unreserved parking spaces, at the
prevailing monthly rates, in the Exchange Place Garage, located to the east of
the Judge Building. The cost of such parking shall be paid by Lessee.
Other than as provided above, Lessor shall have no further obligation to
provide parking to Lessee.
6. Lessee shall have an option to extend the term of the Lease for an
additional five years under the following terms and conditions:
a. Lessee must deliver written notice to Lessor of its intention to
extend the term of the Lease at least 6 months prior to the expiration of the
initial term of the Lease.
b. The base lease rate for the first year of the extension term shall be
5% greater than the base rate for the fifth year of the initial Lease term (or
at such mutually agreed to rate that is
2
determined within 30 days after Lessee serves notice of its desire to extend the
term of the Lease), with 5% annual base rate increases thereafter. The expense
pass-through provisions of Paragraph 4 of the Lease, as modified herein, shall
continue in effect.
c. Lessee must not be in breach or default of the Lease at the time of
exercise of the extension option, or have been more than 10 days late in the
payment of rent more than 5 times during the initial Lease term, unless waived
by Lessor.
d. All other terms and provisions of the Lease and Addendum shall remain
in full force and effect during the extension term.
7. Effective one year after the Lease commencement date, Lessee shall have a
limited, one time, right of first refusal to lease Suite 310 in accordance with
the following terms and conditions:
a. Lessee must have been timely in its rent payments and not otherwise in
breach of the Lease.
b. Lessee shall have the right to lease Suite 310 under the same terms as
Lessor is willing to lease such space to a new tenant ("New Tenant"). Lessee
shall have three days in which to elect in writing to lease Suite 310 after
Lessor informs Lessee in writing of the lease terms for the New Tenant. In the
event Lessee exercises it right of first refusal, it shall have a tenant
improvement allowance equal to Lessor's cost of providing tenant improvement for
the New Tenant, with any additional improvement cost to be borne by Lessee.
c. Lessee shall execute a new lease for Suite 310 within four days after
exercise of it right of first refusal, and its failure to timely do so shall
result in a relinquishment and release of its right of first refusal.
d. If Lessee does not timely elect to lease such space within the three
day notice period as above provided, Lessee shall have no further right of first
refusal to lease such space, unless Lessor fails to consummate a lease with the
New Tenant. If Lessor fails to consummate a lease with the New Tenant, then
Lessee shall continue to have a right of first refusal, on the same terms
provided herein, until such time as Lessor consummates a lease with a New Tenant
for Suite 310.
e. Time is strictly of the essence herein, it being acknowledged by
Lessee that the right of first refusal granted to Lessee hereby is an impediment
to Lessor's ability to freely lease Suite 310.
8. The 12% interest charge provided in Paragraph 3 of the Lease shall be
applicable only if and when Lessee is more than 30 days
3
late in its payment of rent.
9. Paragraph 4 of the Lease is modified as follows: Notwithstanding Lessee's
calculated portion of increases in operating expenses above base year expenses
in any given year, as per paragraph #4 of the Lease, Lessee's portion of
increase in any given year shall not exceed the equivalent of a 2% increase in
Lessee's then prevailing base lease rate. This 2% "cap" on expense pass-throughs
shall be cumulative annually.
The 15 days reference in the fourth paragraph of Paragraph 4 of the Lease shall
be extended to 30 days.
10. Paragraph 5, line 2, of the Lease is modified by deleting the words "or
other" and adding the word "liability."
11. Paragraph 6, line 6, of the Lease is modified by adding the phrase "and
excluding any noncomplying conditions existing prior to the commencement of
Lessee's lease" after the phrase "Lessee's improvements or acts."
12. Paragraph 7 of the Lease is modified as follows: Lessee shall have the
right to make non-structural modifications or additions not exceeding $2,000 in
cost without obtaining Lessor's consent. For any modifications or additions that
require Lessor's consent, Lessor shall indicate whether it will require removal
of such modifications or additions at the time Lessor gives its consent.
13. Paragraph 8 of the Lease is modified as follows: The second sentence of
said paragraph is hereby deleted, and the following sentence substituted in lieu
thereof: "Any repairs to the Premises (other than those required because of the
nature of Lessee's operations) that are required to be made by Lessor in order
to comply with applicable law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect,
shall not be made without the joint approval of Lessor and Lessee."
14. Paragraph 12 of the Lease is modified as follows: The indemnification and
waiver provisions therein shall be mutual between Lessor and Lessee, and shall
not be applicable for any damage or injuries caused by the negligence,
recklessness, or wanton disregard of the parties.
15. Paragraph 13 of the Lease is modified as follows: Lessee shall only be
required to provide insurance information upon Lessor's request.
16. Paragraph 14, second paragraph, of the Lease and Regulation #6 shall be
modified as follows: (a) Lessee shall be entitled to drive nails and screws to
hang art, whiteboard, corkboards, etc, as part of normal business operations
without the prior written consent of Lessor; (b) The failure to provide services
and rent reduction

right time periods are changed from 10 and 11 days, respectively, to 3 & 4 days

17. To the extent that Paragraph 19, sixth paragraph, beginning with the phrase
"As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above" is considered to include
prejudgment interest, it shall be applicable only if Utah law allows prejudgment
interest.
18. Paragraph 20 of the Lease is modified as follows: (a) 25% is changed to
30%; (b) The phrase "as of the date notice is given" is changed to "as of the

Lessee" after the words "by Lessor."
21. All notices sent by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 27 of the Lease shall be
noted: "Attention: Chief Financial Officer."

shall be responsible" is hereby deleted.
