Tenant shall execute the Acceptance of Premises Memorandum (herein so
called) attached hereto as Exhibit E. If Tenant occupies the Premises

Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of such
improvements. If Tenant fails to deliver the Premises in the condition
aforesaid, AFTER LANDLORD HAS PROVIDED ALL NECESSARY APPROVALS, ACCESS AND
REASONABLE COOPERATION FOR SUCH RESTORATION AND/OR REPAIR then Landlord may
restore the Premises to such a condition at Tenant's expense. All property
required to be removed pursuant to this Section not removed within time period
required hereunder shall thereupon be conclusively presumed to have been
abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may, at its option, take over possession of
such property and either (a) declare the same to be the property of Landlord by
written notice to Tenant at the address provided herein or (b) at the sole cost
and expense of Tenant, remove and store and/or dispose of the same or any part

Tenant or any other person.

claiming rights to this Lease, retains possession of the Premises after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such possession shall
constitute and be construed as a tenancy at will only, subject, however, to
all of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant
hereunder; such parties shall be subject to immediate eviction and removal and
Tenant or any such Party shall pay Landlord as rent for the period of such
holdover an amount equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the Basic Annual
Rent (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately preceding expiration or

any and all damages sustained by Landlord as a result of such holdover. The
rent during such holdover period shall be payable to Landlord from time to time
on demand; provided, however, if no demand is made during a particular month,
holdover rent accruing during such month shall be paid in accordance with the
provisions of Article 2. IN THE EVENT OF A HOLDOVER, Tenant will vacate the
Premises and deliver same to Landlord immediately upon Tenant's receipt of

actual Operating Expenses allocable to the Final Calendar Year but which

Premiums, Utility Expenses or Permitted Capital Pass Through Costs
increase during a calendar year or if the number of square feet of
rentable area in the Premises increases, Landlord may revise the
estimated Additional Rent during such year by giving Tenant written
notice to that effect and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in
each of the remaining months of such year, an additional amount equal
to the amount of such increase in the estimated Additional Rent divided
by the number of months remaining in such year.
SECTION 2.3 RENT DEFINED AND NO OFFSETS. Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent and
all other sums (whether or not expressly designated as rent) required to be
paid to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation, any
sums payable to Landlord under any addendum, exhibit, rider or schedule
attached hereto) shall constitute rent and are sometimes collectively referred
to as "Rent". Each payment of Rent shall be paid by Tenant when due, without
prior demand therefor and without deduction or setoff, except as provided in
this Lease Agreement.
SECTION 2.4 LATE CHARGES. If any installment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional
Rent or any other payment of Rent under this Lease shall not be paid within ten
(10) days of the date when due, a "Late Charge" of five cents ($.05) per dollar
so overdue may be charged by Landlord to defray Landlord's administrative
expense incident to the handling of such overdue payments. Each Late Charge
shall be payable on demand.
ARTICLE 3
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant will pay Landlord on the date this Lease is executed by Tenant the
Security Deposit set forth in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security
for the performance of the terms hereof by Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled
to interest thereon and Landlord may commingle such Security Deposit with any
other kinds of Landlord. The Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance
payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by
Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, which is
not cured within the applicable cure period, Landlord may, but shall not be
required to, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use,
apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any
Rent or any other sum in default or for the Payment of any other amount which
Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default or
to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of
6
Tenant's default, including, without limitation, costs and attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises. If Tenant shall
fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by
it, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days
after the Expiration Date. Tenant agrees that it will not assign or encumber or
attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as the Security
Deposit and that Landlord and its successors and assigns shall not be bound by
any such actual or attempted assignment or encumbrance. Regardless of any
assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may return the Security Deposit
to the original Tenant, in the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of
an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or any part of the
balance thereof.
ARTICLE 4
OCCUPANCY AND USE
SECTION 4.1 USE OF PREMISES.
4.101 GENERAL. The Premiss shall, subject to the remaining Provisions of this
Section, be used solely for the purpose specified in Item 12 of the
Basic Lease Provisions. Without in any way limiting the foregoing,
Tenant will not use, occupy or permit the use or occupancy of the
Premises for any purpose which if forbidden by or in violation of any
law, ordinance or governmental or municipal regulation, order, or
certificate of occupancy, or which may be dangerous to life, limb or
property; or permit the maintenance of any public or private nuisance;
or do or permit any other thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment
of any other tenant of the Building; or keep any substance or carry on
or permit any operation which might emit offensive odors or conditions
from the Premises; or commit or suffer or permit any waste in or upon
the Premises; or sell, purchase or give away, or permit the sale,
purchase or gift of food in any form by or to any of Tenant's agents or
employees or other parties in the Premises except through vending

Tenant's employees only; or use any apparatus which might make undue
noise or set up vibrations in the Building; or permit anything to be
done which would increase the fire and extended coverage insurance rate
on the Building or Building contents and, if there is any increase in
such rate by reason of acts of Tenant, the Tenant agrees to pay such
increase upon demand therefor by Landlord. Payment by Tenant of any such
rate increase shall not be a waiver of Tenant's duty to comply herewith.
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), claims and
causes of action arising from Tenant's failure to comply with this
Section without limitation upon Landlord's obligations under Section
5.105. Tenant shall keep the Premises neat and clean at all times.
Tenant shall promptly correct any violation of a governmental law, rule
or regulation relating to the Premises. Tenant shall comply with any
direction or any governmental authority having jurisdiction which
imposes any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or
with respect to the occupancy or use thereof.
4.102 HAZARDOUS AND TOXIC MATERIALS.
(a) Tenant shall not knowingly incorporate into, or use or otherwise
place or dispose of at, the Premises, the Building or on the Land any
hazardous or toxic materials, except for use and storage of cleaning and
office supplies used in the ordinary course of Tenant's business and
then only if (i) such materials are in small quantities, properly
labeled and contained, (ii) such materials are handled and disposed of
in accordance with the highest accepted industry standards for safety,

material safety data sheet if provided to Landlord for each such
hazardous or toxic material and (iv) such materials are used,
transported, stored, handled and disposed of in accordance with all
applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Landlord shall have
the right to periodically inspect, take samples for testing and
otherwise investigate the Premises for the presence of hazardous or
toxic materials. Landlord shall not knowingly dispose of at the
Premises, Building or the Land any hazardous or toxic materials and
shall otherwise deal with all hazardous or toxic materials at the
Premises, Building or Land in a manner that will not materially and
adversely affect Landlord's access, use or occupancy of the Premises. If
Landlord or Tenant ever has knowledge of the presence in the Premises or
the Building or Land of hazardous or toxic materials which affect the
Premises, the party having knowledge shall notify the other party
thereof in writing promptly after obtaining such knowledge. For purposes
of this Lease, hazardous or toxic materials shall mean asbestos
containing materials ("ACM") and all other materials, substances, wastes
and chemicals classified as hazardous or toxic substances, materials,
wastes or chemicals under then-current applicable governmental laws,
rules or regulations or that are subject to any right-to-know laws or
requirements.
(b) Prior to commence of any tenant finish work to be performed by
Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to make such studies and
investigations and conduct such tests and surveys of the Premises from
an environmental standpoint as permitted under Rider H-2 attached
hereto. If Tenant requests that Landlord commence construction of
Tenant's Improvements prior to
7
exercising such right, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the
termination right set forth in Rider H-2.
(c) If Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors shall ever
violate the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.102 or
otherwise contaminate the Premises or the Property, then Tenant shall
clean-up, remove and dispose of the material causing the violation,
in compliance with all applicable governmental standards, laws, rules
and regulations and then prevalent industry practice and standards
and shall repair any damage to the Premises or Building within such
period of time as may be reasonable under the circumstances after
written notice by Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord of its
method, time and procedure for any clean-up or removal and Landlord
shall have the right to require reasonable changes in such method,
time or procedure or to require the same to be done after normal
business hours. Tenant's obligations under this subsection 4.102(c)
shall survive the termination of this Lease. Tenant represents to
Landlord that, except as has been disclosed to Landlord, Tenant has
never been cited for or convicted of any hazardous or toxic materials
violations under applicable laws, rules or regulations.
SECTION 4.2 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant will comply with such rules and
regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") generally applying to tenants in the
Building as may be adopted from time to time by Landlord for the management,
safety, care and cleanliness of; and the preservation of good order and

All such Rules and Regulations are hereby made a part hereof. The Rules and
Regulations in effect on the date hereof are on file with the Property Manager.

Tenant in writing and conforming to the foregoing standards shall be carried
out and observed by Tenant. Landlord hereby reserves all rights necessary to

this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Rules and
Regulations which materially decreases the benefits of the Lease Agreement to
Tenant or increases its obligations hereunder shall be enforceable against
Tenant.

without abatement of Rent, Landlord or its authorized agents shall have the
right to enter the Premises at reasonable times and, upon reasonable notice, to
inspect the Premises, to show the Premises to prospective lenders, purchasers
or during the last nine (9) months of the term, tenants and to fulfill
Landlord's obligations or exercise its rights under this Lease. Landlord shall
exercise good faith reasonable efforts not to interfere with the operation of

with Landlord and to abide by all regulations and requirements which Landlord
reasonably prescribes for the use of the above utilities and services. Any

other governmental action, inability by exercise of reasonable
diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel, or by any other cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control (collectively, "Uncontrollable

agreement herein and in no event shall Landlord be liable for damage
to persons or property (including, without limitation, business

INSURANCE, FIRE AND CASUALTY
SECTION 6.1 TOTAL OR PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING OR THE PREMISES.
In the event that the Building should be totally destroyed by fire or other
casualty or in the event the Building (or any portion thereof) should be so
damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such

Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of
this Lease effective with the date of such damage. Landlord shall exercise the
termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence, if at all, by delivering

period. In the event that the Premises should
11
be so damaged by fire or other casualty that rebuilding or repairs cannot be
completed, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, within one hundred eighty (180)
days after the date of such damage, Tenant may, at its option terminate this
Lease, in which event Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated
during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective the date of such damage.
Tenant shall exercise the termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence,
if at all, by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days after being advised by Landlord that the repairs cannot be
completed within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. In the event the
Building or the Premises should be damaged by fire or other casualty and, in

shall, within (60) days after the date of such damage, commence to rebuild or
repair the Building and the Premises (including Tenant's Improvements, but only
to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the
repair of Tenant's Improvements), and shall pursue with reasonable diligence
the repair and restoration of the Building and the Premises to substantially

replace any part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, inventory, supplies or
any other personalty or any other improvements (except Tenant's Improvements,

the repair of Tenant's Improvements) which may have been placed by Tenant or
other tenants within the Building or at the Premises. Landlord shall allow
Tenant a fair diminution of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent during the
time the Premises are unfit for occupancy; provided, that if such casualty was
caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees or invitees, Basic Annual
Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated only to the extent Landlord is
compensated for such Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent by loss of rents
insurance, if any. Notwithstanding Landlord's restoration obligation, in the
event any mortgagee under a deed of trust, security agreement or mortgage on
the Building should require that the insurance proceeds be used to retire or
reduce the mortgage debt or if the insurance company issuing Landlord's fire
and casualty insurance policy fails or refuses to pay Landlord the proceeds
under such policy, Landlord shall have no obligation to rebuild and this Lease

companies based upon an assignment from its insured. Each party to this Lease
agrees immediately to give to each such insurance company written notification

Property or any portion thereof that, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, is
necessary to the continued efficient and/or economically feasible use of the

Landlord, at Landlord's sole option and expense, shall restore and reconstruct
the Building to substantially its former condition to the extent that the same
may be reasonably feasible, but such work shall not be required to exceed the
scope of the work done by Landlord in originally constructing the Building, nor

shall not, within twenty (20) days following notification to Tenant of the
imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment
or the posting of a bond in amount, form and substance acceptable to Landlord,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by
law, the right but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such
means as it shall deem proper, including payment of or defense against the claim
giving rise to such lien. All amounts paid or incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand and shall bear interest
from the date of demand until paid at the rate set forth in Section 15.10 below.
Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way
14
as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials
for any specific improvement, alteration or repair of or to the Building or the
Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or
authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the
furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any
mechanic's or other liens against the interest of Landlord in the Property or
the Premises.
ARTICLE 10
TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY
Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, prior to their becoming delinquent,
any and all taxes and assessments levied against, and any increases in Real
Estate Taxes as a result of; any personal property or trade or other fixtures
placed by Tenant in or about the Premises and any improvements (other than
Tenant's Improvements) constructed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant.
In the event Landlord pays any such addition taxes or increases, Tenant will,
within ten (10) days after demand, reimburse Landlord for the amount thereof.
ARTICLE 11
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING
SECTION 11.1 SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or
allow it to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise
or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or
permit the Premises to be occupied by any firm, person, partnership or
corporation or any combination thereof, other than Tenant, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, WHICH CONSENT SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD.
In no event shall any assignment or sublease ever release Tenant from any
obligation or liability hereunder. No assignee or sublessee of the Premises or
any portion thereof may assign or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof.
Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not operate
as a waiver of Landlord's right as to any subsequent assignments and/or
sublettings. All reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any assignment or sublease proposed by Tenant will be the
responsibility of Tenant and will be paid by Tenant within five (5) days of
receipt of an invoice from Landlord.
SECTION 11.2 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS RELATING TO ASSIGNEE OR SUBTENANT. If this
Lease or any part hereof is assigned or the Premises or any Premises thereof
are sublet, Landlord may at its option collect directly from such assignee or
sublessee all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease
and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord by Tenant hereunder.
Tenant hereby authorizes and directs any such assignee or sublessee to make
such payments of rent direct to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord
and Tenant agrees that any such payments made by an assignee or sublessee to
Landlord shall, to the extent of the payments so made, be a full and complete
release and discharge of rent owed to Tenant by such assignee or sublessee. No
direct collection by Landlord from any such assignee or sublessee shall be
construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant or any guarantor of
Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder. Receipt by
Landlord of rent from any assignee, sublessee or occupant of the Premises or
any part thereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the above covenant in this
Lease against assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant under this
Lease. In the event that, following an assignment or subletting, this Lease or
the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder are terminated for any reason,
including without limitation in connection with default by or bankruptcy of
Tenant (which, for the purposes of this Section 11.2, shall include all persons
or entities claiming by or through Tenant), Landlord may, at its sole option,
consider this Lease to be thereafter a direct lease to the assignee or
subtenant of Tenant upon the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.
ARTICLE 12
TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD, SUBORDINATION AND
TENANT'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
SECTION 12.1 SALE OF THE PROPERTY. In the event of a sale of conveyance by
Landlord of the Property, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any
and all liability under this Lease arising after the date of such sale,
PROVIDED THE PURCHASE IS A FULLY CAPITALIZED, ONGOING BONA FIDE BUSINESS
ENTITY, WHICH IN WRITING ASSUMES ALL OBLIGATIONS OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE SECURITY DEPOSIT.
SECTION 12.2 SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NOTICE. This Lease is subject and
subordinate to (i) any lease wherein Landlord is the tenant and to the liens of
any and all mortgages and deeds of trust, regardless of whether such lease,
mortgage or deed of trust now exists or may hereafter be created with regard to
all or any part
15
of the Property, (ii) any and all advances (including interest thereon) to be
made under any such lease, mortgage or deed of trust and (iii) all
modifications, consolidations, renewals, replacements and extensions of any such
lease, mortgage or deed of trust; provided that the foregoing subordination in
respect of any mortgage or deed of trust placed on the Property after the date
hereof shall not become effective until and unless the holder of such mortgage
or deed of trust delivers to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement (which may
include Tenant's agreement to attorn as set forth below) permitting Tenant, if
Tenant is not then in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this
Lease, to remain in occupancy of the Premises in the event of a foreclosure of
any such mortgage or deed of trust UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN
CONTAINED. Tenant also agrees that any lessor, mortgagee or trustee may elect
(which election shall be revocable) to have this Lease superior to any lease or
lien of its mortgage or deed of trust and, in the event of such election and
upon notification by such lessor, mortgagee or trustee to Tenant to that effect,
this Lease shall be deemed superior to the said lease, mortgage or deed of
trust, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said
lease, mortgage or deed of trust. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall, in the
event of the sale or assignment of Landlord's interest in the Premises (except
in a sale-leaseback financing transaction), or in the event of the termination
of any lease in a sale-leaseback financing transaction wherein Landlord is the
lessee, attorn to and recognize such purchaser, assignee or mortgagee as
Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall, in the event of any proceedings brought
for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale
under, any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, attorn to and
recognize purchaser at such sale, assignee or mortgagee, as the case may be, as
Landlord under this Lease. The above subordination and attornment clauses shall
be self-operative (subject to the proviso herein contained) and no further
instruments of subordination or attornment need be required by any mortgagee,
trustee, lessor, purchaser or assignee. In confirmation thereof, Tenant agrees
that, upon the request of Landlord, or any such lessor, mortgagee, trustee,
purchaser or assignee, Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may
be required for such purposes and to carry out the intent of this Section 12.2.
LANDLORD ACKNOWLEDGES TO TENANT, THAT AS OF THE DATE OF THIS LEASE AND AS OF THE
COMMENCEMENT DATE, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO
GROUND LEASE, MORTGAGE, OR DEED OF TRUST.
SECTION 12.3 TENANTS ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, upon the request of
Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord, without additional consideration, deliver
an estoppel certificate, consisting of reasonable statements required by
Landlord, any mortgagee or purchaser of any interest in the Property, which
statements may include but shall not be limited to the following: this Lease is
in full force and effect, with rental paid through _________________; this Lease
has not been modified or amended; and Landlord is not in default and Landlord
has fully performed all of Landlord's obligations hereunder. If Tenant is unable
to make any of the statements contained in the estoppel certificate because the
same is untrue, Tenant shall with specificity state the reason why such
statement is untrue. Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord or any such
mortgagee, deliver to Landlord a fully executed instrument in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord evidencing the agreement of Tenant to the mortgage or
other hypothecation by Landlord of the interest of Landlord hereunder.

hereunder, Landlord may, without judicial process, terminate this
Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant (whereupon all
obligations and liabilities of Landlord hereunder shall terminate)
and, without further notice and without liability, repossess the
Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to recover all loss and damage
Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through
inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise,
including without limitation, the following (without duplication of
any element of damages):
(a) accrued Rent to the date of termination and Late Charges, plus
interest thereon at the rate established under Section 15.10 below
from the date due through the date paid or date of any judgment or
award by any court of competent jurisdiction, the unamortized cost of
Tenant's Improvements, brokers' fees and commissions, attorneys'
fees, moving allowances and any other costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with making or executing this Lease, the cost of
recovering the Premises and the costs of reletting the Premises
(including, without limitation, advertising costs, brokerage fees,
leasing commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees and refurbishing
costs and other costs in readying the Premises for a new tenant);
(b) the Present value of the Rent (discounted at a rate of interest
equal to eight Percent [8%] per annum [the "Discount Rate]) that
would have accrued under this Lease for the balance of the Lease term
but for such termination, reduced by the reasonable fair market
rental value of the Premises for such balance of the Lease term
(determined from the present value of the actual base rents,
discounted at the Discount Rate, received and to be received from
Landlord's reletting of the Premises or, if the Premises are not
relet, the base rents, discounted at the Discount Rate, that would be
received from a comparable lease and comparable tenant for a
comparable term and taking into account among other things, the
condition of the Premises, market conditions and the period of time
the Premises may reasonably remain vacant before Landlord is able to
re-lease the same to a suitable replacement tenant, it being agreed
that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet or attempt to relet
the Premises);
(c) plus any other costs or amounts necessary to compensate Landlord
for its damages.
13.202 REPOSSESSION AND RE-ENTRY. Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant
hereunder, Landlord may, without judicial process, immediately
terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Premises (whereupon all
obligations and liability of Landlord hereunder shall terminate), but
not terminate this Lease, and, without notice, demand or liability,
enter upon the Premises or any part thereof, take absolute possession
of the same, expel or remove Tenant and any other person or entity
who may be occupying the Premises and change the locks. If Landlord
terminates Tenant's possession of the Premises under this subsection
13.202, (i) Landlord shall have no
17
obligation whatsoever to tender to Tenant a key for new locks installed
in the Premises, (ii) Tenant shall have no further right to possession
of the Premises and (iii) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever
to relet or attempt to relet the Premises. Landlord may, however, at
its sole option relet the Premises or any part thereof for such terms
and such rents as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. If
Landlord elects to relet the Premises, rent received by Landlord from
such reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord (in
such order as Landlord shall designate), second, to the payment of any
cost of such reletting, including, without limitation, refurbishing
costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, advertising costs, brokerage fees
and leasing commissions and third, to the payment of Rent due and
unpaid hereunder (in such order as Landlord shall designate), and
Tenant shall satisfy and pay to Landlord any deficiency upon demand
therefor from time to time. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable
for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any
failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. No such
re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be
construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such termination is given to Tenant pursuant
to subsection 13.201 above. If Landlord relets the Premises, either
before or after the termination of this Lease, all such rentals
received from such lease shall be and remain the exclusive property of
Landlord and Tenant shall not be, at any time, entitled to recover any
such rental. Landlord may at any time after a reletting elect to
terminate this Lease.
13.203 CURE OF DEFAULT. Landlord may, without judicial process, enter upon the
Premises, without having any liability therefor and do whatever Tenant
is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease and Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur
in effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and
Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence
of Landlord or otherwise.
13.204 CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. No repossession of or re-entering upon the
Premises or any part thereof pursuant to subsection 13.202 or 13.203
above or otherwise and no reletting of the Premises or any part thereof
pursuant to subsection 13.202 above shall relieve Tenant of its
liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such
repossession or re-entering. In the event of any such repossession of
or re-entering upon the Premises or any party thereof by reason of the
occurrence of a default, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord Rent
required to be paid by Tenant.
13.205 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. In addition to
the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case
of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the
covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to a
decree compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed
to Landlord at law or in equity.
SECTION 13.3 DEFAULTS BY LANDLORD. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.4, Landlord
shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder and said failure continues for a period of thirty (30)
days after Tenant delivers written notice thereof to Landlord (to each of the
addresses required by this Section) and each mortgagee who has a lien against
any portion of the Property and whose name and address has been provided to
Tenant, provided that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if the
curative action is commenced within said thirty (30) day period and is
thereafter diligently pursued until cured. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.4,
in no event shall (i) Tenant claim a constructive or actual eviction or that
the Premises have become unsuitable hereunder or (ii) a constructive or actual
eviction or breach of the implied warranty of suitability be deemed to have
occurred under this Lease, prior to the expiration of the notice and cure
periods provided under this Section 13.3. Any notice of a failure to perform by
Landlord shall be sent to Landlord at the addresses and to the attention of the
parties set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. Any notice of a failure to
perform by Landlord not sent to Landlord at all addresses and/or to the
attention of all parties required under this Section and to each mortgagee who
is entitled to notice or not sent in compliance with Article 14 below shall be
of no force or effect.
SECTION 13.4 LANDLORD'S LIABILITY.
13.401 TENANT'S RIGHT IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD DEFAULT. Tenant is granted no
contractual right of termination by this Lease, except to the extent
and only to the extent set forth in Sections 5.4, 7.1, 8.2 and 12.2
above and Rider H-2 attached hereto. IN THE EVENT THAT LANDLORD COMMITS
A DEFAULT HEREUNDER, TENANT MAY PURSUE ANY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO TENANT
AT LAW OR IN EQUITY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, LANDLORD'S LIABILITY HEREUNDER
SHALL BE LIMITED AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 13.402 HEREOF. If Tenant shall
recover a money judgment against Landlord, such
18
judgment shall be satisfied only out of the right, title and interest of
Landlord in the Property as the same may then be encumbered and Landlord
shall not be liable for and deficiency. If Landlord is found to be in
default hereunder by reason of its failure to give a consent that it is
required to give hereunder, Tenant's sole remedy will be an action for
specific performance or injunction. The foregoing sentence shall in no
event be construed as mandatorily requiring Landlord to give consents
under this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for
consequential or special damages by reason of a failure to perform (or a
default) by Landlord hereunder or otherwise. In no event shall Tenant
have any right to levy execution against any property of Landlord other
than its interest in the Property as hereinbefore expressly provided.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, HOWEVER, TENANT SHALL ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT
TO SATISFY A JUDGMENT AGAINST LANDLORD OUT OF (a) THE PROCEEDS COLLECTED
BY LANDLORD OR WHICH LANDLORD HAS THE RIGHT TO COLLECT FROM ANY INSURER
WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROJECT;
(b) THE PROCEEDS OF ANY SALE OF ALL OR ANY PART OF LANDLORD'S RIGHT,
TITLE AND INTEREST IN ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROJECT; (c) THE PROCEEDS
OF ANY LOAN SECURED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE PROJECT OR ALL OR ANY
PART OF LANDLORD'S RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST IN THE PROJECT; AND (d) ANY
AND ALL RENTS COLLECTED BY LANDLORD OR WHICH LANDLORD HAS THE RIGHT TO
COLLECT WITH RESPECT TO ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROJECT.
13.402 CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Unless covered by
subsection 7.502 above or caused by Landlord's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any
claims, actions, demands, costs, expenses, damage or liability of any
kind (ii) caused by or arising out of fire, explosion, falling
sheetrock, gas, electricity, water, rain, snow or dampness, or leaks in
any part of the Premises, (iii) caused by or arising out of damage to
the roof, pipes, appliances or plumbing works or any damage to or
malfunction of heating, ventilation or air conditioning equipment or
(iv) caused by tenants or any persons either in the Premises or
elsewhere in the Building (other than Common Areas) or by occupants of
property adjacent to the Building or Common Areas or by the public or by
the construction of any private, public or quasi-public work. In no
event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss of or damage to
property of Tenant or of others located in the Premises or the Building
by reason of theft or burglary.

Landlord and Tenant to waive all of the provisions (other than Section 17.555)

be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or
approval of any subsequent act of Tenant. Tenant's consent to or approval of any

termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. The acceptance of any

be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such

accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

WORK LETTER
PLANS AGREED UPON/FINISH ALLOWANCE
Blue Lake Partners, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Landlord"), and McAfee
Associates, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Tenant") have entered into that
certain Lease Agreement dated Nov. 14, 1996 (the "Lease") for the lease of
certain space in the office building located at 0000 XxXxxx Xxxx in Dallas,
Texas (the "Building"). Pursuant to subsection 1.201 of the Supplemental Lease
Provisions, Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Work Letter (this
"Agreement"). Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned to it in the Supplemental Lease Provisions. Landlord and Tenant
mutually agree as follows:
1. Plans.
1.1 Approved Plans. Landlord and Tenant have agreed that the Premises will be
improved in accordance with the plans and specifications (or description
thereof) approved and initialed by Landlord and Tenant (the "Construction Plans"
and all improvements required thereby, "Tenant's Improvements"). Tenant
represents to Landlord that Tenant has furnished to Landlord and the party
preparing the Construction Plans all information necessary such that (following
construction of Tenant's Improvements in accordance with the Construction Plans)
Tenant, the Premises and Tenant's Improvements will be in compliance with the
Disability Acts. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any and all claims, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by or asserted
against Landlord by reason of or in connection with any violation of the
Disability Acts by Tenant and/or Tenant's Improvements. The foregoing indemnity
shall not include any claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of the negligence or gross negligence
of Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents or contractors.
1.2 Changes to Approved Plans. If any re-drawing or re-drafting of either the
Space Plan or the Construction Plans is necessitated by Tenant's requested
changes (all of which shall be subject to Landlord's approval), the expense of
any such re-drawing or re-drafting required in connection therewith and the
expense of any work and improvements necessitated by such re-drawing or
redrafting will be charged to Tenant.
1.3 Coordination of Planners and Designers. If Tenant shall arrange for
interior design services, whether with Landlord's space planner or any other
planner or designer, it shall be Tenant's responsibility to cause necessary
coordination of its agents' efforts with Landlord's agents to ensure that no
delays are caused to either the planning or construction of the Tenant's
Improvements.
2. Construction and Cost of Tenant's Improvements.
2.1 Construction Obligation and Finish Allowance. Landlord agrees to construct,
BASED UPON THE LOWEST OF FIVE (5) COMPETITIVE BIDS FOR SUCH WORK, Tenant's
Improvements, at Tenant's cost and expense; provided, however, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with an allowance up to $7.00 PER SQUARE FOOT OF THE AGREED
RENTABLE AREA (the "Finish Allowance"), which allowance shall be disbursed by
Landlord, from time to time, for payment of (in the following priority) (i) the
contract sum required to be paid to the general contractor engaged to construct
Tenant's Improvements (the "Contract Sum"), (ii) the fees of the preparer of the
Construction Plans and (iii) payment of the Construction Management Fee
(hereinafter defined). Upon completion of Tenant's Improvements and in
consideration of Landlord administering the construction of Tenant's
Improvements, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a fee equal to five percent (5%) of
the Contract Sum to construct Tenant's Improvements (the "Construction
Management Fee") (the foregoing costs are collectively referred to as the
"Permitted Costs").
2.2 Excess Costs. If the sum of the Permitted Costs exceeds the Finish
Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such excess costs ("Excess Costs"),
provided, however, Landlord will, prior to the commencement of construction of
Tenant's Improvements, advise Tenant of the Excess Costs, if any, and the
Contract Sum. Tenant shall have two (2) business days from and after the receipt
of such advice within which to approve or disapprove the Contract Sum and Excess
Costs. If Tenant fails to approve same by the expiration of the second such
business day, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Proposed Contract
Sum and Excess Costs. If Tenant disapproves the Contract Sum and Excess Costs
within such two (2) business day period, then Tenant shall either reduce the
scope of Tenant's Improvements such that there shall be no Excess Costs or, at
Tenant's option, Landlord shall obtain two (2) additional bids, provided that
each day beyond such two (2) business day period and until the rebid is accepted
by Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. Subject to the last
sentence of this subsection, the foregoing process shall continue until a
Contract Sum and resulting Excess Costs if any, are accepted or deemed accepted
by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant must approve (or be deemed to have approved the
Contract Sum for the construction of Tenant's Improvements in writing prior to
the commencement of construction. If Tenant fails to accept a Contract Sum by
November 25, 1996, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease.
2.3 Liens Arising from Excess Costs. Tenant agrees to keep the Premises free
from any liens arising out of nonpayment of Excess Costs. In the event that any
such lien is filed and Tenant, within ten (10) days following such
25
filing fails to cause same to be released of record by payment or posting of a
proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided
herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be
released by such means as it in its sole discretion deems proper, including
payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid
by Landlord in connection therewith shall constitute Rent under the Lease and a
demand obligation of Tenant to Landlord and such obligation shall bear interest
at the rate provided for in Section 15.10 of the Supplemental Lease Provisions
from the date of payment by Landlord until the date paid by Tenant.
2.4 Construction Deposit. Tenant shall remit to Landlord an amount (the
"Prepayment") equal to the projected Excess Costs, if any, within five (5)
working days after commencement of construction by Landlord. On or prior to
the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the actual Excess
Costs, minus the Prepayment previously paid. Failure by Tenant to timely tender
to Landlord the full Prepayment shall permit Landlord to stop all work until
the Prepayment is received. All sums due Landlord under this Section 2.4 shall
be considered Rent under the terms of the Lease and nonpayment shall constitute
a default under the Lease and entitle Landlord to any and all remedies
specified in the Lease.
3. Delays. Delays in the completion of construction of Tenant's Improvements
or in obtaining a certificate of occupancy, if required by the applicable
governmental authority, caused by Tenant, Tenant's Contractors (hereinafter
defined) or any person, firm or corporation employed by Tenant or Tenant's
Contractors shall constitute "Tenant Delays". In the event that Tenant's
Improvements are not Substantially Complete by the Commencement Date referenced
in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions, then the Commencement Date referenced
in Item 8 shall be amended to be the Adjusted Substantial Completion Date
(hereinafter defined) and the Expiration Date referenced in Item 9 of the Basic
Lease Provisions shall be adjusted forward by the same number of days as is
the Commencement Date, so that the term of the Lease will be the term set
forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Adjusted Substantial
Completion Date shall be the date Tenant's Improvements are Substantially
Complete, adjusted backward, however, by one day for each day of Tenant Delays,
if any. The foregoing adjustments in the Commencement Date and the Expiration
Date shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy in the event Tenant's
Improvements are not Substantially Complete by the initial Commencement Date
set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions.
4. Substantial Completion and Punch List. The terms "Substantial Completion"
and "Substantially Complete," as applicable, shall mean when Tenant's
Improvements are completed in accordance with the Construction Plans subject
only to monitor items ("Punch List Items") which may be completed in a manner so
that Tenant can reasonably use the Premises for the Permitted Use (as described
in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions) without material interruption. When
Landlord considers Tenant's Improvements to be Substantially Complete, Landlord
will notify Tenant and within two (2) business days thereafter, Landlord's
representative and Tenant's representative shall conduct a walk-through of the
Premises and identify any necessary touch-up work repairs and minor completion
items as are necessary for final completion of Tenant's Improvements. Neither
Landlord's representative nor Tenant's representative shall unreasonably
withhold his agreement on punch list items. Landlord will use reasonable efforts
to cause the contractor to complete all punch list items within thirty (30) days
after agreement thereon.
5. Tenant's Contractors. If Tenant should desire to enter the Premises or
authorize its agent to do so prior to the Commencement Date of the Lease, to
perform approved work not requested of the Landlord, Landlord shall permit such
entry if:
(a) Tenant shall use only such contractors which Landlord shall approve
in its reasonable discretion and Landlord shall have approved the
plans to be utilized by Tenant, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; and
(b) Tenant, its contractors, workmen, mechanics, engineers, space
planners or such others as may enter the Premises (collectively,
"Tenant's Contractors"), work in harmony with and do not in any way
disturb or interfere with Landlord's space planners, architects,
engineers, contractors, workmen, mechanics or other agents or
independent contractors in the performance of their work
(collectively, "Landlord's Contractors"), it being understood and
agreed that if entry of Tenant or Tenant's Contractors would cause,
has caused or is causing a material disturbance to Landlord or
Landlord's Contractors, then Landlord may, with notice, refuse
admittance to Tenant or Tenant's Contractors causing such
disturbance; and
(c) Tenant (notwithstanding the first sentence of subsection 7.201 of
the Supplemental Lease Provisions), Tenant's Contractors and other
agents shall provide landlord sufficient evidence that each is
covered under such Worker's Compensation, public liability and
property damage insurance as Landlord may reasonably request for its
protection.
Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage to any of Tenant's
installations or decorations made prior to the Commencement Date and not
installed by Landlord or Landlord's contractors. Tenant shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's Contractors from and against any and all
costs, expenses, claims, liabilities and causes of action arising out of or in
connection with work performed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant (but
excluding work performed by Landlord or Landlord's Contractors). Landlord is not
responsible for the function and maintenance of improvements, equipment,
cabinets or fixtures not installed by Landlord. Such entry by Tenant and
Tenant's Contractors pursuant to this Section 5 shall be deemed to be under all
of the terms, covenants, provisions and
26
conditions of the Lease except the covenant to pay Rent.
6. Construction Representatives. Landlord's and Tenant's representatives for
coordination of construction and approval of change orders will be as follows,
provided that either party may change its representative upon written notice to

tenant's agreement with respect to rent, term, finish allowances, tenant

which to notify Landlord in writing that it desires to lease the applicable

day period shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to lease the applicable
Right of First Refusal Space at that time and Landlord shall have the right to
lease such space to the proposed tenant upon the terms and conditions contained
in the Statement. Should a lease not be consummated with the proposed tenants,
the aforementioned rights will remain in full force and effect.

Refusal Space will be subordinate to any and all existing renewal, expansion and
