Tenant shall not disturb or interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the premises
of any other tenant.
3.5 Common Areas. All of the portions of the Project made available by Landlord
for use in common by tenants and their employees and invitees ("Common Areas")
at all times shall remain subject to Landlord's exclusive control and Landlord
shall be entitled to make such changes in the Common Areas as it deems
appropriate. Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the arrangement
and/or locations of entrances, or passageways, doors and doorways, and
corridors, windows, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the
Building and to change the name, number or designation by which the Building or
the Project is commonly known. Tenant acknowledges that the existing cafeteria

notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such cafeteria area is not part
of the Common Areas.
3.6 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply and shall cause its employees to
comply with the rules and regulations for the Project. The current rules and
regulations are attached as Exhibit C. Landlord from time to
3
4

reasonable non-discriminatory rules and regulations for the Project, not
inconsistent with the terms of this Lease.
3.7 Compliance with Law. Without in any manner limiting any other provision of
this Lease, Tenant hereby represents and warrants and agrees:
(a) to comply fully with all present and future federal, state and
local laws, rules, orders, or regulations pertaining to its use and occupancy,
health or the environment ("Environmental Laws"), including, without limitation,
the comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, as amended ("CERCLA") and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1987, as amended ("RCRA").
(b) that Tenant will not dispose of nor permit or acquiesce in the
disposal of any waste (including, but not limited to, any paints, solvents, or
paint thinners) products on, under or around the Premises.
(c) to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and each mortgagee
or deed of trust holder of the Premises for any and all costs, claims, demands,
damages including attorneys' fees and court costs and investigatory and
laboratory fees, related to any adverse health or environmental condition
relating to the use of the Premises or the Project, including, without
limitation, any adverse health or environmental condition (including without
limitation any violation of Environmental Laws) occurring during the term of
this Lease. This indemnification to Landlord shall survive the expiration or
sooner termination of the Lease.
(d) comply with all reporting obligations imposed under the Federal
Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986 and any similar state
or local laws, rules or regulations.
(e) comply with all pretreatment requirements imposed by law with
respect to the disposal of waste or effluent into the sanitary sewer system;
(f) prevent any dumping, spillage, leakage or runoff of substances
regulated by Environmental Laws ("Regulated Substances") which are brought onto
the Premises or Project by Tenant or its agents, contractors, employees or
invitees, into dry xxxxx, storm drains, water retention areas, Common Areas or
any areas where such substances could be absorbed into the soil. It is
understood and agreed that the provisions contained in this Article shall be
applicable notwithstanding the fact that any substance shall not be deemed a
Regulated Substance at the time of its use by the Tenant but shall thereafter be
deemed to be a Regulated Substance;
(g) obtain and maintain all permits required by federal, state or local
laws, rules or regulations;
(h) prepare, and upon request provide a copy to Landlord of, all
response plans required by applicable law; and
(i) not keep, store, or use within the Premises any Regulated
Substances except small quantities that are reasonably necessary for Tenant's
business, and customarily associated with office usage, such as copier supplies,
provided that the storage, use, and disposal of such substances comply with all
Environmental Laws.
3.8 [Intentionally deleted]
3.9 Parking. Tenant shall receive the following parking spaces: 168 assigned
parking spaces (100 covered and 68 uncovered). If any vehicle of Tenant, or of
any subtenant, licensee, concessionaire, or of their respective officers, agents
or employees, is parked in any part of the Common Areas other than the employee
parking area(s) designated therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
such reasonable penalty as may be fixed by Landlord from time to time. Landlord
reserves the right to reassign assigned parking to comparable facilities in
connection with any modification to the Building permitted pursuant to this
lease. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to impose any obligation on
Landlord to police the parking area.
3.10 Keys. Locks and Access Cards. No additional locks shall be allowed on any
door of the Premises without Landlord's permission. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, Tenant may maintain its current security system, provided
that Landlord shall, at all times, have access to the Premises. Upon termination
of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys of the Premises, and
give to Landlord the combination of all locks for safes, safe cabinets and vault
doors, if any, in the Premises.
ARTICLE 4 SECURITY DEPOSIT AND GUARANTIES. In the event any security is required
to be deposited pursuant to the terms of this Lease and in the event Landlord
uses any of said security deposit to cure Tenant's default(s) or meet any of the
Tenant's obligations, Tenant covenants upon demand replace the amount utilized.
In
4
5
the vent of a bona fide sale, subject to this Lease, Landlord shall have the
right to transfer the security to the vendee, and Landlord shall be considered
released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security; and
Tenant agrees to look solely to the new Landlord for the return of said
security, and it is agreed that this shall apply to every transfer or assignment
made of the security to a new Landlord. The security deposited as provided
herein shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered by tenant without the
written consent of Landlord.
In the event of the insolvency of Tenant, or in the event of the entry
of a judgment in bankruptcy in any court against Tenant which is not discharged
within thirty (30) days after entry, or in the event a petition is filed by or
against Tenant under any chapter of the bankruptcy laws of the State of Arizona
or the United States of America, then in such event, Landlord may require the
Tenant to deposit security in the amount specified in Subsection 9(a) to
adequately assure Tenant's performance of all of its obligations under this
Lease including all payments subsequently accruing. Failure of tenant to deposit
the security required by this Section within ten (10) days after Landlord's
written demand shall constitute a material breach of this Lease by Tenant.
ARTICLE 5 RENT
5.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, on the first day of
each calendar month, beginning on the Commencement Date, Base Rent in the amount
set forth in Section 1.8.
5.2 Late Charges. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, at
Landlord's option, Tenant shall pay a "Late Charge" equal to five (5%) percent
which late charge shall be assessed on any installment of Rent or any other sums
due hereunder paid more than five (5) days after the due date thereof, to cover
the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments. Tenant shall not be
charged a Late Charge the first two times Tenant is late during each calendar
year of the Term until Tenant, as to such two (2) times each calendar year, is
given five (5) days' notice and opportunity to cure said nonpayment within said
notice period and fails to cure said nonpayment within said time.
5.3 Excise Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all sales, use, transaction
privilege, rental or other excise tax levied or imposed upon, or measured by,
any amount payable by Tenant under this Lease.
5.4 Obligations Are Rent. All amounts payable to Landlord under this Lease
constitute rent and shall be payable without notice, demand, deduction or offset
to such person and at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate by
written notice to Tenant. Until further notice, all such payments shall be made
to Landlord at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000.
5.5 Proration. Base Rent payable with respect to a period consisting of less
than a full calendar month shall be prorated based on a thirty (30) day month.
ARTICLE 6 OPERATING COSTS
6.1 Tenant's Share/Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs for each calendar year in excess of the Expense Stop as
set forth in Section 1.10. Tenant's Proportionate Share, wherever that phrase is
used, shall be 38(%) percent, which the parties agree reflects and will be
continually adjusted to reflect the sum arrived at by dividing the gross square
feet of the area rented to Tenant (including an allocable share of all Common
Areas) as set forth in Section 1.1 (the numerator) plus any additional gross
square footage leased from time to time pursuant to this Lease, by the total
number of gross square feet of the entire Building (or additional buildings that
may be constructed within the Building), (the denominator), measured outside
wall to outside wall but excluding therefrom any storage areas. Landlord shall
have the right to make changes or revisions in the Common Areas so as to provide
additional leasing area so long as such changes or revisions do not materially
and unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to the Premises or Tenant's use
of the Premises or the visibility of the Premises. Landlord shall also have the
right to construct additional buildings on the Land on which the Building is
located for such purposes as Landlord may deem appropriate so long as such
additional buildings do not materially and unreasonably interfere with Tenant's
access to the Premises or Tenant's use of the Premises or the visibility of the
Premises, and subdivide the lands for that purpose if necessary, and upon so
doing, the land on which the Building is located shall become the subdivided lot
on which the Building in which the premises is located. If any service provided
for or any utility provided for herein is separately billed or separately
metered within the Building, then the square footage so billed or metered shall
be deemed vacant and if applicable subject to the variable lost adjustment set
forth herein. Tenant understands that as a result of changes in the layout of
the Common Areas from time to time occurring due to, by way of example and not
by way of limitation, the rearrangement of corridors, the aggregate of all
Building tenant proportionate shares may be equal to, less than or greater than
one hundred (100%) percent.
5
6
At any time, and from time to time, Landlord shall advise tenant in
writing of Tenant's Proportionate Share for the current Lease Year and for each
succeeding Lease year or proportionate part thereof if the last period prior to
the Lease's termination is less than twelve (12) months as then known to
Landlord, and thereafter, Tenant shall pay as additional rent, Tenant's
Proportionate Share, as hereinafter defined, of the excess of the Operating
Costs over the Expense Stop in equal monthly installments on the first day of
each month, such new rates being applied to any months for which the Base Rent
shall have already been paid, as well as the unexpired months of the current
period, the adjustment for the then expired months to be made at the payment of
the next succeeding installment of Base Rent, all subject to final adjustment at
the expiration of each "Lease Year" or proportionate part thereof, if the last
period prior to the Lease's termination is less than twelve (12) months. As used
in this Lease, "Lease year" means the twelve (12) month period commencing on the
Commencement Date and each twelve (12) month period thereafter notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, Landlord reserves the right to calendarize billing and
payment in order to establish operating consistency.
6.2 Books and Records Right to Review/Reconciliation. For the protection of
Tenant, Landlord shall maintain books of account which shall be open to Tenant
and its representatives, at all reasonable times so that Tenant can determine
that such Operating Costs have, in fact, been paid or incurred. Any disagreement
with respect to any one or more of said charges if not satisfactorily settled
between Landlord and Tenant shall be referred by either party to an independent
certified public accountant to be mutually agreed upon, and if such an
accountant cannot be agreed upon, the American Arbitration Association may be
asked by either party to select an arbitrator, whose decision on the dispute
will be final and binding upon both parties, who shall jointly share any cost of
such arbitration. Pending resolution of said dispute, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the sum billed by Landlord subject to its ultimate resolution as
aforesaid. Once Landlord shall have finally determined said Operating Costs at
the expiration of a calendar year, then as to the item so established, Tenant
shall only be entitled to dispute said charge as finally established for a
period of twelve (12) months after such charge is finally established, and
Tenant specifically waives any right to dispute any such charge at the
expiration of said twelve (12) month period. Any difference between Tenant's
obligation and the amounts paid by Tenant on account shall be paid or credited,
as the case may be, within fifteen days after the statement is provided. Late
delivery of the annual statement of Operating Costs shall not relieve Tenant of
any obligation with respect to payment of Tenant's Proportionate Share of the
Operating Costs or Base Rent.
6.3 Partial Year Proration; Variable Cost Adjustment. During the first and last
years of the Term, Tenant's responsibility for Operating Costs shall be adjusted
in the proportion that the number of days of that calendar year during which the
Lease is in effect bears to 365. Tenant's obligations under this Article 6 for
the payment of Operating Costs during the Lease Term, including the payment of
any deficiency as described in Section 6.2, shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease. If the mean level of occupancy of the Building during
a calendar year is less than 100% of the rentable area, the Operating Costs
shall be adjusted to reflect the fact that some costs, such as HVAC and
janitorial services, vary with level of occupancy while other costs, such as
real estate taxes, may not. In order to allocate those variable costs to
occupied space while allocating non-variable costs to occupied and unoccupied
space alike, Landlord shall determine what the total Operating Costs would have
been had the Building been at least 100% occupied during the entire calendar
year on the average, and that adjusted total shall be the figure employed in the
calculations described in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and this Section 6.3.
6.4 "Operating Costs" consist of all costs of operating, maintaining and
repairing the Project, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) Premiums for property, casualty, liability, rent interruption or
other insurance and any permitted deductibles to the extent of any losses
required to be paid by Landlord as a result of said deductibles.
(b) Salaries, wages and other amounts paid or payable for personnel of
Landlord involved in the maintenance and operation of the Project, and the total
charges of any independent contractors or managers engaged in the repair, care,
maintenance, painting, and cleaning of any portion of the Project.
(c) Cleaning, including sweeping of parking areas and removal of snow
and ice.
(d) Landscaping, including irrigating, trimming, mowing, fertilizing,

(f) Maintaining, operating, repairing and replacing equipment used in
the maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of any portion of the
Project.

6
7
(h) Policing and security for the Project.
(i) The cost of the rental of any equipment and the cost of supplies
used in the maintenance and operation of the Project.
(j) Audit fees and the cost of accounting services incurred in the
preparation of statements referred to in this Lease and financial statements,
and in the computation of the rents and charges payable by tenants of the
Project.
(k) Costs of capital expenditures incurred for the purpose of reducing
Operating Costs, and costs of improvements, repairs, or replacements which
otherwise constitute Operating Costs under this Article but which are properly
charged to capital accounts shall not be included in Operating Costs in a single
year but shall instead be amortized over their useful lives, as determined by
the Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
only the annual amortization amount shall be included in Operating Costs.
(l) A fee for the administration and management of the Project not to
exceed 3% of the gross Building Rent.
(m) Costs of alterations or modifications to the Project necessary to
comply with requirements of applicable law of which Landlord has not received
notice of violation of prior to the Commencement Date; provided, however, that
if any of such costs are for the replacement, alteration, modification or
construction of a capital improvement, such costs shall be amortized over their
useful lives, as determined by the Landlord in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals, and only the annual amortization amount shall be
included in Operating Costs;
(n) General and special real and personal property taxes, assessments,
and association dues for the Project and expenses incurred in successful efforts
to reduce taxes, assessments or association dues;
(o) Sums levied, assessed, imposed or required to be paid to any
governmental authority on account of the parking of motor vehicles, including
all sums required to be paid pursuant to transportation controls imposed by the
Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act of 1970, or otherwise
required to be paid by any governmental authority with respect to the parking,
use, or transportation of motor vehicles, or reduction or control of motor
vehicle traffic, or motor vehicle pollution; and
(p) All other items properly constituting direct operating costs
according to standard accounting practices.
6.5 Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.4,
"Operating Costs" shall not include:
(a) Amounts reimbursed by other sources, such as insurance proceeds,
equipment warranties, judgments or settlements.
(b) Utilities or other expenses paid directly by tenants to suppliers
or paid by tenants to Landlord for separately metered or special services such
as after-hours air conditioning services.
(c) Ground rents.
(d) Payments on any mortgage or other encumbrance.
(e) Construction of tenant improvements.
(f) Leasing commissions.

mortgagees or ground lessors sad coverage and/or limits become inadequate or
less than that commonly maintained by prudent tenants in similar buildings in
the area by tenants making similar uses.
8.2 Policy Requirements. Tenant's insurance policies shall:

and in any event a waiver of any subrogation rights which Tenant's insurers may
have against Landlord and against those for whom the Landlord is in law

(b) be taken out with insurers licensed by the State of Arizona which
are reasonably acceptable to Landlord but having a policy holder's service

8.3 Evidence of Coverage. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of
insurance not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date and (b)
periodically thereafter before expiration, renewal or replacement of the
policies then in force. Such insurance policy or certificate will unequivocally
provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the mortgagees or
ground lessors (if any) of Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days
prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, or other
termination thereof. Should a certificate of insurance initially be provided, a
policy shall be furnished by Landlord within thirty (30) days of the
Commencement Date. The aforesaid insurance shall be written with no deductible
except as may be consented to by Landlord. No review or approval of any such
insurance certificate by Landlord shall derogate or diminish Landlord's rights
or Tenant's obligations. Tenant shall not take possession of the Premises
without having complied with the requirements of this Section.
8.4 Indemnity and Exculpation. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless, regardless of any negligence imputed to Landlord as owner of the real
property involved in an injury, from and against any and all loss, claims,
actions, damages, liability and expense (including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees and insurance deductibles) in connection with loss of life,
personal injury, damage to property or any other loss or injury whatsoever
arising directly or indirectly from or out of this Lease, or any occurrence in,
upon or at the Premises, or the occupancy or use by the Tenant of the Premises,
or any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees.
Tenant shall not be required, however, to indemnify Landlord against a claim
arising from Landlord's active negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord shall
not be liable to Tenant for any loss suffered by Tenant under any circumstances,
including but not limited to (i) that arising from the negligence of Landlord,
its agents, servants, invitees, contractors or subcontractors, or from defects,
errors or omissions in the construction or design of the Premises and/or the
Building including the structural and nonstructural portions thereof; or (ii)
loss of injury to Tenant or to property or that for which Tenant is legally
liable from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to theft or
burglary; or (iii) that which results from or is incidental to Tenant's the
furnishings of or failure to furnish or the interruption in connection with the
furnishings of any service which Landlord is obligated to furnish pursuant to
this Lease; or (iv) that which results from any inspection, repair, alteration,
or addition or the failure thereof undertaken or failed to be undertaken by
Landlord; or (v) any interruption to Tenant's business, however occurring.
The aforesaid exculpatory Section is to induce the Landlord, in its
judgment, to avoid or minimize covering risks which are better quantified and
covered by Tenant either through insurance (or self-insurance or combinations
thereof if specifically permitted pursuant to this Lease) thereby permitted
potential costs savings in connection with the Operating Costs borne by Tenant
pursuant to this Lease.
The indemnification of Landlord by Tenant provided for in this Section
8.4 shall not include any matter to the extent for which Landlord has received
insurance proceeds covering Landlord's loss, claims, actions, damages, liability
and expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and insurance
deductibles). Notwithstanding the preceding, until Landlord receives insurance
proceeds sufficient to make Landlord whole, the terms of this indemnity from
Tenant to Landlord shall be in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, if Landlord's loss, claims, actions, damages, liability and
expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and insurance
deductibles) exceeds any insurance proceeds received by Landlord or if Landlord
has not received any insurance proceeds for such matters, Tenant shall fully
indemnify Landlord for such matters as provided herein.
8.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all
rights of recovery against the other, or against the partners, officers,
employees, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to
such waiving party or its property or the property of the other under its
control to the extent that such loss or damages is insured against under any
insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damage. Tenant shall, upon
obtaining the policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the
insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is
contained in this Lease.
8.6 Landlord's Policies. No insurable interest is conferred upon Tenant under
any policies of insurance carried by Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled
to share or receive proceeds of any insurance policy carried by Landlord.

ARTICLE 9 FIRE AND CASUALTY
9.1 Termination Rights. If all or part of the Premises is rendered untenantable
by damage from fire or other casualty which in Landlord's opinion cannot be
substantially repaired (employing normal construction methods without overtime
or other premium) under applicable laws and governmental regulations within 240
days from the date of the fire or other casualty, then either Landlord or Tenant
may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by written
notice delivered to the other not later than ten days after notice of such
determination is given by Landlord. In the event of any casualty damage to the
Premises rendering the same untenantable, Landlord shall give Tenant written
notice within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage setting forth
Landlord's best estimate of the time reasonably necessary to repair and restore
the Premises and the estimated dates by which such repair will be commenced and
completed.
9.2 Restoration. If in Landlord's opinion the damage caused by the fire or
casualty can be substantially repaired (employing normal construction methods
without overtime or other premium) under applicable laws and governmental
regulations within 240 days from the date of the fire or other casualty, or if
neither party exercises its right to terminate under Section 9.1, Landlord
shall, but only to the extent that insurance proceeds are available therefor,
repair such damage other than damage to furniture, chattels or trade fixtures
which do not belong to the Landlord, which shall be repaired forthwith by Tenant
at its own expense.
9.3 Abatement. During any period of restoration, the Base Rent payable by Tenant
shall be proportionately reduced to the extent that the Premises are thereby
rendered untenantable from the date of casualty until completion by Landlord of
the repairs to the Premises (or the part thereof rendered untenantable) or until
Tenant again uses the Premises (or the part thereof rendered untenantable) or
until Tenant again uses the Premises (or the part thereof rendered
untenantable) in its business, whichever first occurs.
9.4 Demolition of Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
9.1, if all or a substantial part (whether or not including the Premises) of the
Building is rendered untenantable by damage from fire or other casualty to such
a material extent that in the opinion of Landlord the Project must be totally or
partially demolished, whether or not to be reconstructed in whole or in part,
Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty (or on
the date of notice if the Premises are unaffected by such casualty) by written
notice delivered to Tenant not more than sixty days after the date of the fire
or casualty.
9.5 Agreed Remedies. Except as specifically provided in this Article, there
shall be no reduction of rent and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by
reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business or property
arising from fire or other casualty, howsoever caused, or from the making of any
repairs resulting therefrom in or to any portion of the Project or the Premises.
Tenant waives any statutory or other rights of termination by reason of fire or
other casualty, it being the intention of the parties to provide specifically
and exclusively in this Article for the rights of the parties with respect to
termination of this Lease as a result of a casualty.
ARTICLE 10 CONDEMNATION
10.1 Automatic Termination. If during the Term all or any material part of the
Premises is permanently taken for any public or quasi-public use under any
statute or by right of eminent domain, or purchased under threat of such taking,
this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date when title vests pursuant
to such taking. The Base Rent, and any other sums due hereunder, shall be
apportioned as of said termination date. In the event of a partial taking which
does not effect a termination of this Lease but does deprive Tenant of the use
of a portion of the Premises, there shall either be an abatement or an equitable
reduction of the Base Rent and any other sums due hereunder, and an equitable
adjustment reducing the operating costs, depending on the period for which and
the extent to which the Premises so taken are not reasonably usable for the
purpose for which they are leased hereunder. Except for any award specifically
attributed by the condemning authority to loss or damage to Tenant's trade
fixtures and removable personal property or to Tenants relocation costs, Tenant
shall not be entitled to any part of the award for such taking.
10.2 Optional Termination. If during the term any part of the Project is taken
or purchased by right of eminent domain or in lieu of condemnation, whether or
not the Premises are directly affected, then if in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Project is necessary or
desirable as a result thereof, or the amount of parking available to the Project
is materially and adversely affected, Landlord shall have the right to terminate
this Lease by giving Tenant at least thirty days written notice of such
termination.
10.3 Award. Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain the entire award or
consideration for the affected lands and improvements and Tenant shall not have
or advance any claims against Landlord for the value of its
10
11
property or its leasehold estate or the unexpired term of this Lease or for
costs of removal or relocation or business interruption expense or any other
damages arising out of the taking or purchase. Nothing herein shall give
Landlord any interest in or preclude Tenant from seeking and recovering on its
own account from the condemning authority any award of compensation attributable
to the taking or purchase of Tenant's chattels or trade fixtures or attributable
to Tenant's relocation expenses provided that any such separate claim by Tenant
shall not reduce or adversely affect the amount of Landlord's award. If any such
award made or compensation paid to Tenant specifically includes an award or
amount for Landlord, Tenant shall promptly account therefor to Landlord.
ARTICLE 11 MAINTENANCE
11.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall maintain equipment, alterations or other
improvements whether constructed for Tenant's initial occupancy or made
subsequently pursuant to Article 15, such as supplemental or special cooling
systems not consistent with building standard tenant improvements as established
by the Landlord. If Tenant does not comply with its obligations under this
Article, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements or
obtain such service contracts, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof
upon demand. With respect to any improvements required due to the manner in
which Tenant uses the Premises, Tenant also shall make such repairs and
alterations necessary to comply with any current or future requirements of any
governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction, provided
Landlord has not received notice of violation of such laws or requirements prior
to the Commencement Date.
11.2 By Landlord. Landlord shall, without reimbursement from Tenant, pay for any
repairs and alterations necessary to comply with any current or future
requirements of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having
jurisdiction, provided Landlord shall have received notice of violation of such
laws or requirements prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord shall, at Tenant's
expense, maintain the Premises and the improvements thereon (including all
doors, plate glass, and heating, air conditioning, ventilation, electrical and
plumbing systems serving the Premises), in good condition and repair subject to
reimbursement to the extent provided in Article 6. Landlord shall provide
janitorial services to the extent set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto.
Landlord shall maintain the Project and all Common Areas in good condition and
repair in accordance with standards then prevailing for comparable properties of
like age and character, the cost of which is to be included as an Operating
Cost, except where the repair has been made necessary by misuse or neglect by
Tenant or Tenant's agents, servants, visitors or licensees, in which case the
Landlord shall nevertheless make the repairs but Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
immediately upon demand, the costs relating thereto. Landlord shall not be
liable or responsible for breakdowns or temporary interruptions in access or
utilities nor for interference with Tenant's business or Tenant's access to the
Premises during the course of repairs or remedial work. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to make repairs in a manner designed to minimize interference
with Tenant's business operations or access to the Premises.
ARTICLE 12 ACCESS/UTILITIES
12.1 24-Hour Access. Tenant, its employees, agents, and invitees shall have
access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, but
this shall not be construed as authorization to make use of the services set
forth herein beyond the normal Business Hours without reimbursing Landlord for
the cost thereof, and shall be subject to any governmental or municipal laws and
regulations with respect to said 24-hour, seven (7) day a week access. Landlord
may, however, restrict access by requiring persons to show a badge or
identification card issued by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for denying
entry to any person unable to show the proper identification. Landlord may
temporarily close the Building if reasonably required because of a
life-threatening or Building-threatening situation. Landlord shall use its best
efforts to close the Building during nonbusiness hours only.
12.2 Standard Services. During Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall supply to
the Premises electrical power for lighting, for the operation of heating,
ventilation and air conditioning equipment, and for the operation of normal
small office equipment and shall supply water and sewer services for any
plumbing facilities in the Premises. Extra services beyond that in this Section
12.2 are not included in the Base Rent or the Expense Stop and Tenant shall pay
Landlord upon demand for any lighting or heating, ventilation and air
conditioning provided outside of Normal Business Hours in accordance with
Section 12.3:
12.3 Extra Services. Whenever Landlord knows that any tenant (including Tenant)
is using extra services because of either nonbusiness-hours use or electricity
consumption in excess of the Landlord's standard electric service, Landlord will
directly charge that tenant for the extra use. Extra services include:
(a) NonBusiness Hours Use. HVAC and electricity required by Tenant
during nonbusiness
11
12
hours shall be supplied upon 24 hours advance verbal notice. If more than one
tenant directly benefits from these services then the cost shall be allocated
proportionately between or among the benefiting tenants based upon the amount of
time each tenant benefits and the rentable square footage each leases.
(b) Excess Utility Use. Tenant shall not place or operate in the
Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery, other than
typewriters, personal computers, adding machines, reproduction machines, and
other machinery and equipment normally used in offices, unless Tenant receives
Landlord's advance written consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent. But Landlord may require payment for the extra use of
electricity caused by operating this equipment or machinery. Landlord may
require that special, high electricity consumption installations of Tenant such
as computer or reproduction facilities (except personal computers or normal
office photocopy machines) be separately sub-metered for electrical consumption
at Tenant's cost.
(c) Payment. Tenant's charges for the utilities provided under (a) and
(b) above shall be one hundred and fifteen (115%) percent of Landlord's actual
cost of utilities consumption to cover Landlord for its utility costs incurred,
overtime personnel and service charges for nonbusiness hours use, and the
depreciation, wear and tear on Landlord's equipment and machinery. The actual
cost of the utilities consumption, to the extent not separately submetered at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall be determined either by (i) the
installation of submeters by Landlord, at Tenant's expense or (ii) by survey as
follows:
Tenant agrees that an independent engineering consultant
selected by Landlord, but to be paid by Tenant, shall make a survey of the power
demand of the utilities provided under (a) and (b) above used in the Premises to
determine the excess consumption thereof. After Landlord's consultant has
submitted its report, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after
demand therefor by Landlord, the amount determined by said consultant as due and
owing from Tenant, for the period commencing with said excess use through the
period covered by said report. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay said costs of such
excess use, monthly in arrears, on the first day of the next succeeding month,
the cost thereof to be increased or decreased in proportion to rate changes
(including demand surcharges) in effect from time to time measured against the
rate in effect at the time the survey was conducted. Proportionate sums shall be
payable for periods of less than a full month.
The decision on whether extra services are to be made by
submetering or survey shall be determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord does
not warrant that any services Landlord supplies will not be interrupted.
Services may be interrupted because of accidents, repairs, alterations,
improvements, or any reason beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Any
interruption shall not:
(a) be considered an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and
possession of the Premises;
(b) make Landlord liable to Tenant for damages;
(c) xxxxx Base Rent or any other obligations pursuant to this
Lease; or
(d) relieve Tenant from performing Tenant's Lease obligations.
Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for any utility costs
attributable to any special or supplemental cooling systems or other special
equipment as established by Landlord. Any other utilities provided to the
Premises, including telephone services, shall be arranged directly by Tenant
with the utility supplier, including the posting of any required deposits, and
paid directly to the utility supplier when due.
ARTICLE 13 LANDLORD RIGHT OF ENTRY
Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have access to the Premises for
purposes of showing the Premises to current or prospective lenders, to
prospective purchasers of the Project, and, during the twelve-month period
preceding the expiration of the term of this Lease, to prospective tenants.
Landlord shall at all times have access to the Premises for purposes of
inspection and performing Landlord's obligations and exercising its rights under
this Lease, provided Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to make repairs in a
manner designed to minimize interference with Tenant's business operations or
access to the Premises.
ARTICLE 14 SIGNS
Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed any sign, picture, advertisement,
notice, lettering or decoration on any part of the outside of the Premises or
anywhere in the interior of the Premises which is visible from the outside of
the Premises without Landlord's prior written approval. All of Tenant's signs
shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval.
12
13
ARTICLE 15 TENANT ALTERATIONS
15.1 Tenant Alterations. Tenant may from time to time at its own expense make
changes, additions and improvements in the Premises, provided that any such
change, addition or improvement shall:
(a) comply with the requirements of any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction (including, without limitation,
the Americans with Disabilities Act), with the requirements of Landlord's
insurance carriers, and with Landlord's safety and access requirements,
including restrictions on flammable materials and elevator usage;
(b) not be commenced until Landlord has received satisfactory evidence
that all required permits have been obtained;
(c) be made only with the prior written consent of Landlord (which may
be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion, to the extent it relates in
Landlord's opinion to the structure or electrical, HVAC, plumbing or sprinkler
systems of the Building, but which otherwise shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be
required for cosmetic alterations, or improvements;
(d) be constructed in good workmanlike manner and conform to complete
working drawings prepared by a licensed architect and submitted to and approved
by Landlord;
(e) be of a quality that equals or exceeds the then current standard
for the Project and comply with all building, fire and safety codes;
(f) be carried out only during hours approved by Landlord by licensed
contractors selected by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord, who shall
deliver to Landlord before commencement of the work performance and payment
bonds as well as proof of workers' compensation and general liability insurance
coverage, including coverage for completed operations and contractual liability,
with Landlord and its agents and designees named as additional insureds, in
amounts, with companies, and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which
shall remain in effect during the entire period in which the work shall be
carried out. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only subcontractors selected or
designated by Landlord may be used to make connection with the Project's main
electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems, except connections to circuit panels,
pipes or ducts within the Premises; and
(g) upon completion, be shown on accurate "as built" reproducible
drawings in the form of reverse sepia transparencies or mylars delivered to
Landlord.
15.2 Tenant Installations. Tenant may install in the Premises its usual trade
fixtures and personal property in a proper manner, provided that no installation
shall interfere with or damage the mechanical or electrical systems or the
structure of the Building. Landlord may require that any work that may affect
structural elements or mechanical, electrical, heating, air conditioning,
plumbing or other systems be performed by Landlord at Tenant's cost or by a
contractor designated by Landlord.
15.3 Mechanics Liens. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all costs for work
done or caused to be done by Tenant in the Premises which could result in any
lien or encumbrance on Landlord's interest in the Project or any part thereof,
shall keep the title to the Project and every part thereof free and clear of any
lien or encumbrance in respect of such work, and shall indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees against any claim, loss,
cost, demand or legal or other expense, whether in respect of any lien or
otherwise, arising out of the supply of material, services or labor for such
work. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any such lien, claim of lien
or other action of which it has or reasonably should have knowledge and that
affects the title to the Project or any part thereof, and shall cause the same
to be removed by bonding or otherwise within fifteen days, failing which
Landlord may take such action as Landlord deems necessary to remove same and the
entire cost thereof shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord.
If provided by applicable law, Tenant shall cause such postings to be made and
notices given as shall prevent any mechanics' lien for work done for Tenant from
attaching to the Project.
ARTICLE 16 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
16.1 Consent Required. In the event that the Tenant desires to sublease or
assign the Premises to any other party, the terms and conditions of such
sublease or assignment shall be communicated to the Landlord in writing not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such sublease or
assignment, and, prior to such
13
14
effective date, the Landlord shall have the option, exercisable in writing to
the Tenant, to recapture the within Lease so that such prospective sublessee or
assignee shall then become the sole Tenant of Landlord hereunder or
alternatively to recapture said space and the within Tenant shall be released
from any and all obligations hereunder. In the event Landlord does not recapture
the Lease as provided herein, Tenant shall not assign its interest under this
Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the consent of any
mortgagee or deed of trust holder. Tenant shall not at any time pledge,
hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease as
security for the payment of a debt or the performance of a contract. Tenant
shall not permit its interest under this Lease to be transferred by operation of
law. Any purported assignment or sublease made without Landlord's consent shall
be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16.1,
Landlord's consent shall not be required for an assignment of this Lease or a
subletting of the Leased Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant or to any entity
that is acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant. As used
herein, the terms "Affiliate" and "any entity that is acquiring all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant" shall mean any entity that controls,
is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, whether through the
ownership of more than at least fifty percent (50%) of the stock or other equity
interest of the relevant entity or the power to vote the same under the terms of
a partnership or operating agreement with respect to such entity, provided such
entity has a value equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of the total value of
the stock of Tenant.
16.2 Change in Control of Tenant. If Tenant is a corporation other than a
corporation whose stock is listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock
exchange, the provisions of this Subsection 16.8 shall apply to transfer
(however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related
or unrelated transactions) of stock or any other mechanism such as, by way of
example, the issuance of additional stock, a stock voting agreement or change in
class(es) of stock which results in a change of control of Tenant as if such
transfer of stock (or other mechanism) which results in a change of control of
Tenant were an assignment of this lease, and if Tenant is a partnership or joint
venture, said provisions shall apply with respect to a transfer (by one or more
transfers) of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such
partnership or joint venture (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example,
the creation of additional general partnership or limited partnership interests)
which results in a change of control of such a partnership or joint venture as
if such transfer of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of
such partnership or joint venture which results in a change of control of such
partnership or joint venture were an assignment of this lease; but said
provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which
Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of
Tenant's assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is
controlled by Tenant or is under common control Tenant, provided that in the
event of such merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of
Tenant's assets, (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the
greater of (a) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger,
consolidation or transfer or (b) the net worth of Tenant herein named on the
date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth
shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of any such transaction.
16.3 Requests for Approval. Landlord shall be under no obligation to decide
whether consent will be given or withheld unless Tenant has first provided to
Landlord: (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed assignee or
subtenant and the nature of its business; (b) the use to which the proposed
assignee or subtenant intends to put the Premises; (c) the terms and conditions
of the proposed assignment or sublease and of any related transaction between
Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant; (d) information related to the
experience, integrity and financial resources of the proposed assignee or
subtenant; (e) such information as Landlord may request to supplement, explain
or provide details of the matters submitted by Tenant pursuant to subparagraphs
(a) through (d); (f) reimbursement for all costs incurred by Landlord, including
attorneys' fees in connection with evaluating the request and preparing any
related documentation, plus a $500 payment to cover its handling charges for
each request for consent to any sublet or assignment done prior to its
consideration of the sum; and (g) an assumption, by written instrument delivered
to Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution and in the event of a
sublease, an express acknowledgment in the sublease stating that sublessees
rights against the Landlord shall be no greater than those of the Tenant.
16.4 Responsibility. Tenant and each assignee shall remain fully liable for
performance of this Lease, notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, for the
entire Lease Term. Tenant shall have no claim, and hereby waives the right to
any claim, against Landlord for money damages by reason of any refusal,
withholding or delaying by Landlord of any consent, and in such event, Tenant's
only remedies therefor shall be an action for specific performance, injunction
or declaratory judgment to enforce any such requirement.
16.5 Excess Proceeds. If consent to an assignment or sublease is given, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of all amounts
received from the assignee or subtenant, specifically as consideration for the
assignment or subletting, in excess of the amounts otherwise payable by Tenant
to Landlord
14
15
with respect to the space involved, measured on an average per gross square foot
basis that Tenant has leased net of commissions paid to the third parties and
all other commercially reasonable expenses actually incurred and paid by Tenant,
including attorneys' fees not to exceed $1,500 and amounts paid to Landlord
pursuant to Section 16.3.
16.6 Limitations. Without limiting appropriate grounds for withholding consent,
it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if the proposed
assignee or subtenant is a tenant in the Building or another building owned by
Landlord or by an affiliate of Landlord or of any of Landlord's constituent
partners or principals or if the use by the proposed assignee or subtenant would
contravene this Lease or any restrictive use covenant or exclusive rights
granted by Landlord or if the proposed assignee or subtenant does not intend to
occupy the Premises for its own use or if the nature of the proposed assignee or
subtenant is not compatible with the Project.
16.7 No Waiver. No consent shall constitute consent to any further assignment or
subletting.
16.8 Transfer by Landlord. Upon a sale or other transfer of the Project (or a
portion thereof containing the Premises) by Landlord, Landlord's interest in
this Lease shall automatically be transferred to the transferee, the transferee
shall automatically assume all of Landlord's obligations under this Lease
accruing from and after the date of transfer, and the transferor shall be
released of all obligations under this Lease arising after the transfer. Tenant
shall upon request attorn in writing to the transferee.
16.9 Bankruptcy of Tenant. In the event that any or all of Tenant's interest in
the Premises and/or this Lease is transferred by operation of law to any
trustee, receiver, or other representative or agent of Tenant's, or to Tenant's
as a debtor in possession, and subsequently any or all of Tenant's interest in
the Premises and/or this Lease is offered or to be offered by Tenant or any
trustee, receiver, or other representative or agent of Tenant as to its estate
or property (such person, firm or entity being hereinafter referred to as the
"Grantor"), for assignment, conveyance, lease, or other disposition to a person,
firm or entity other than Landlord (each such transaction being hereinafter
referred to as a "Disposition"), it is agreed that Landlord has and shall have a
right of first refusal to purchase, take, or otherwise acquire, the same upon
the same terms and conditions as the Grantor thereof shall accept upon such
Disposition to such other person, firm, or entity; and as to each such
Disposition the Grantor shall give written notice to Landlord in reasonable
detail of all of the terms and conditions of such Disposition within twenty (20)
days next following its determination to accept the same but prior to accepting
the same, and Grantor shall not make the Disposition until and unless Landlord
has failed or refused to accept such right of first refusal as to the
Disposition, as set forth herein.
Landlord shall have sixty (60) days next following its receipt of the
written notice as to such Disposition in which to exercise the option to acquire
Tenant's interest by such Disposition, and the exercise of the option by
Landlord shall be effected by notice to that effect sent to the Grantor; but
nothing herein shall require Landlord to accept a particular Disposition or any
Disposition, nor does the rejection of any one such offer of first refusal
constitute a waiver or release of the obligation of the Grantor to submit other
offers hereunder to Landlord. In the event Landlord accepts such offer of first
refusal, the transaction shall be consummated pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Disposition described in the notice to Landlord. In the event
Landlord rejects such offer of first refusal, Grantor may consummate the
Disposition with such other person, firm, or entity; but any decrease in price
of more than two (2%) percent of the price sought from Landlord or any change in
the terms of payment for such Disposition shall constitute a new transaction
requiring a further option of first refusal to be given to Landlord hereunder.
Without limiting any of the provisions of this Article 16 and Article
13, if pursuant to Federal bankruptcy Code (herein the "Code") or any similar
law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, Tenant is permitted to
assign this lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease,
adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted
under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an
amount equal to the sum of one (1) year's annual Base Rent and additional sums
due hereunder for the next succeeding twelve (12) months (which additional sums
shall be reasonably estimated by landlord), which deposits shall be held by
Landlord for the balance of the term, without interest, as security for the full
performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to be held and
applied in the manner specified in Article 4.
ARTICLE 17 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
17.1 Subordination. This Lease shall, at Landlord's option, or at the option of
any holder of any mortgage, or deed of trust, be subject and subordinate to any
mortgage and/or trust deed which may now or hereafter affect the real property
of which the Premises form a part, and also to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations and replacements of said mortgage and/or trust deed. If any
mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed (meaning, for the purposes of this
Lease, judicial foreclosure, trustee's sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure,
then:
15
16
(a) This Lease and all of Tenant's rights hereunder shall
continue;
(b) Tenant's quiet possession shall not be disturbed if Tenant is
not in Default;
(c) Tenant will attorn to and recognize the mortgagee or trust
deed holder or purchaser at foreclosure sale ("Successor
Landlord") as Tenant's landlord for the remaining Term; and
(d) The Successor Landlord shall not be bound by or have any
personal liability for:
(i) any payment of Base Rent or Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for
more than one month in advance, or any
Security Deposit, if any specified in the
Lease, except to the extent received by said
Successor Landlord.
(ii) any amendment, modification, or ending of
this Lease without Successor Landlord's
consent after the Successor Landlord's name
is given to Tenant unless the amendment,
modification, or ending is specifically
authorized by the original Lease and does
not require Landlord's prior agreement or
consent, and
(iii) any act or omission of a prior Landlord.
The provisions of this Section 17.1 are self-operating. However, Tenant shall
promptly execute and deliver any documents needed to confirm this arrangement.
Landlord agrees to make a reasonable effort to obtain, for the benefit of
Tenant, a nondisturbance agreement from the holder of Landlord's present
mortgage or deed of trust, and any future mortgagee or deed of trust holder;
however any charges assessed by the holders of such mortgages in connection with
the obtaining of the aforesaid nondisturbance agreement shall be paid by Tenant.
17.2 Lender Protection. Upon a transfer in connection with foreclosure or
trustee's sale proceedings or in connection with a default under an encumbrance,
whether by deed to the holder of the encumbrance in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, Tenant, if requested, shall in writing attorn to the transferee, but
the transferee shall not be:
(a) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have
against Landlord; or
(b) bound by any prepayment by Tenant of more than one month's
installment of rent; or
(c) subject to any liability or obligation of Landlord except
those arising after the transfer.
17.3 Documentation. The subordination provisions of this Article shall be
self-operating and no further instrument shall be necessary. Nevertheless
Tenant, on request, shall execute and deliver any and all instruments further
evidencing such subordination.
17.4 Other Transactions. Landlord may at any time and from time to time grant,
receive, dedicate, relocate, modify, surrender or otherwise deal with easements,
rights of way, restrictions, covenants, equitable servitude's or other matters
affecting the Project without notice to or consent by Tenant.
ARTICLE 18 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Tenant shall at any time within ten business days after written request from
Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing:
(a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or,
if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the
rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (b) confirming the
commencement and expiration dates of the term; (c) confirming the amount of the
security deposit held by Landlord (if any); (d) acknowledging that there are
not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord
hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed; and (e) confirming
such other matters as to which Landlord may reasonably request confirmation. Any
such statement may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective purchaser or
encumbrancer of the Premises or the Project. If Landlord desires to finance or
refinance the Project, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated
by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by
such lender. Such statement shall include the past three years' financial
statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received by
Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
ARTICLE 19 QUIET ENJOYMENT
If Tenant pays the rent and observes and performs the terms, covenants and
conditions contained in this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and
enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance or interruption by Landlord,
or any other person lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord unless
otherwise permitted by the terms of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the
exercise by the Landlord of any of the rights conferred on Landlord under this
Lease and the entry upon the Premises for or in connection with such purposes
shall not be
16
17
deemed to be a constructive or actual eviction of the Tenant and shall not be
considered to be a breach of Landlord's covenant of quiet enjoyment.
ARTICLE 20 SURRENDER AND HOLDOVER
20.1 Surrender. All improvements made by Tenant to the Premises, which are so
attached to the Premises that they cannot be removed without material injury to
the Premises, shall become the property of Landlord upon installation. Not later
than the last day of the term, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove all
Tenant's personal property and those improvements made by Tenant which have not
become the property of Landlord, including trade fixtures, cabinetwork, movable
paneling partitions and the like; repair all injury done by or in connection
with the installation or removal of said property and improvements; and
surrender the Premises in as good condition as they were at the beginning of the
term of this Lease, reasonable wear and damage by fire, the elements, casualty,
or other cause not due to the misuse or neglect by Tenant, Tenant's agents,
servants, visitors or licensees excepted. All other property of Tenant remaining
on the Premises after the last day of the term of this Lease shall be
conclusively deemed abandoned and may be removed by Landlord, and Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for the cost of such removal. Landlord may have any such
property stored at Tenant's risk and expense.
20.2 Holdover. If Tenant holds over without Landlord's consent, Tenant shall, at
Landlord's election, be a tenant at will or a tenant from month-to-month. In
either case rent shall be payable monthly in advance at a rate equal to one and
one-half times the rate in effect immediately before the holdover began. A
holdover month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by either party as of the
first day of a calendar month upon at least ten days' prior notice. A holdover
tenancy at will is terminable at any time by either party without notice,
regardless of whether rent has been paid in advance. Upon a termination under
this Section, unearned rent shall be refunded following the surrender of
possession provided Tenant is not otherwise in breach of this Lease.
ARTICLE 21 BREACH, DEFAULT, AND REMEDIES
21.1 Default. The following shall constitute "Events of Default":
(a) Tenant's failure to pay rent or any other amount due under this
Lease within five days after notice of nonpayment; or
(b) Tenant's failure to execute, acknowledge and return a subordination
agreement under Article 17 or an estoppel certificate under Article 18 within
ten business days after request; or
(c) Tenant's failure to perform any other obligation under this Lease
within fifteen days after notice of nonperformance; provided, however, that if
the breach is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within fifteen days, no
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of the breach if
cure is commenced promptly and diligently pursued to completion within a period
not longer than ninety days; and provided further, that in the event of a breach
involving an imminent threat to health or safety, Landlord may in its notice of
breach reduce the period for cure to such shorter period as may be reasonable
under the circumstances; or
(d) Either (i) the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all
or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; or (ii) a general assignment by
Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) any action taken or suffered by
Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act.
21.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord, at any time
thereafter without further notice or demand may exercise any one or more of the
following remedies concurrently or in succession:
(a) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by legal
process or otherwise, with or without terminating this Lease, and retake
exclusive possession of the Premises.
(b) From time to time relet all or portions of the Premises, using
reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord's damages. In connection with any
reletting, Landlord may relet for a period extending beyond the term of this
Lease and may make alterations or improvements to the Premises without releasing
Tenant of any liability. Upon a reletting of all or substantially all of the
Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to recover all of its then prospective
damages for the balance of the Lease Term measured by the difference between
amounts payable under this Lease and the anticipated net proceeds of reletting
discounted at a rate not more than six percent (6%) per annum.
(c) From time to time recover accrued and unpaid rent and damages
arising from Tenant's breach of the Lease, regardless of whether the Lease has
been terminated, together with applicable late charges and interest at the
lesser of 10% per annum or the highest lawful rate.
17
18
(d) Enforce the statutory Landlord's lien on Tenant's property.
(e) Recover all costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by
Landlord in connection with enforcing this Lease, recovering possession,
reletting the Premises or collecting amounts owed, including, without
limitation, costs of alterations, brokerage commissions, and other costs
incurred in connection with any reletting.
(f) Perform the obligation on Tenant's behalf and recover from Tenant,
upon demand, the entire amount expended by Landlord plus 10% for special
handling, supervision, and overhead.
(g) Pursue other remedies available at law or in equity.
21.3 Subtenancies. Upon a termination of Tenant's right to possession, whether
or not this Lease is terminated: (a) subtenancies and other rights of persons
claiming under or through Tenant shall be terminated or (b) Tenant's interest in
such subleases or other arrangements shall be assigned to Landlord. Landlord may
separately elect termination or assignment with respect to each such subtenancy
or other matter.
ARTICLE 22 LANDLORD LIABILITY
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, neither Landlord nor
Landlord's directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, constituent
partners, beneficiaries, trustees, representatives, successors or assigns
(collectively, "Landlord's Affiliates") shall be personally responsible or
liable for any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement
contained in the Lease, and the sole right and remedy of the Tenant or any
subsequent sublessee or assignee shall be against Landlord's interest in the
Project, such exculpation of liability to be absolute and without any exceptions
whatsoever. Neither Tenant nor any subsequent sublessor or assignee shall seek
to obtain any judgment imposing personal liability against Landlord, Landlord's
Affiliates, or their successors or assigns nor execute upon any judgment or
place any lien against any property other than Landlord's interest in the
Project. A deficit capital account of any portion in Landlord shall not be
deemed an asset or property of Landlord. The foregoing limitation of liability
shall be noted in any judgment secured against Landlord and in the judgment
index.
ARTICLE 23 NOTICES
Any notice from one party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed
duly served: (a) if mailed by registered or certified mail addressed to Tenant
at Tenant's notice address set forth in Section 1.14 or (b) if mailed by
registered or certified mail to Landlord at the address set forth in Section
1.15 or such other address as Landlord may designate. Any notice to Tenant prior

the address set forth in Section 1.14. Any notice shall be deemed to have been
given when mailed.
ARTICLE 24 BROKERAGE
Tenant warrants and represents that no broker or other person is entitled to
claim a commission, broker's fee or other compensation in connection with this
Lease by reason of having dealt with Tenant or its parent company except: (i)
brokers or other persons that Landlord may have retained or employed directly,
and (ii) brokers whom Tenant has previously specifically designated in writing

application thereof, is to any extent held or rendered invalid, it shall be and

severable and divisible therefrom, and its invalidity, unenforceability or
illegality shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of the Lease or
any part thereof.
26.2 No Waiver. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
term, covenant or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or of any
other term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease. The subsequent
acceptance of rent by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease,
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of rent. Xx

Landlord unless such waiver is in writing by Landlord.
26.3 Effect of Payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the monthly payment of rent herein stipulated is deemed to be other
than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor is any endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent
deemed an acknowledgment of full payment or accord and satisfaction, and
Landlord may accept and cash any check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of the rent due and pursue any other
remedy provided in this Lease.
26.4 Delay. If either party is delayed or hindered in or prevented from the
performance of any term, covenant or act required hereunder by reasons of
strikes, labor troubles, inability to procure materials or services, power
failure, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection,
sabotage, rebellion, war, act of God, or other reason whether of a like nature
or not that is beyond the control of the party affected, financial inability
excepted, then the performance of that term, covenant or act is excused for the
period of the delay and the party delayed shall be entitled to perform such
term, covenant or act within the appropriate time period after the expiration of
the period of such delay.
26.5 No Offer. The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute
a reservation of an option to lease the Premises, and this Lease becomes
effective as a lease only upon its execution and delivery by Landlord and
Tenant.

the successors and assigns of Landlord and permitted successors and assigns of
Tenant. Except as otherwise provided herein, no rights, however, shall inure to

consented to by the Landlord in writing as provided in Section 16.1. If there is
more than one Tenant, they are all bound jointly and severally by the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease.

shall constitute a single instrument.
26.12 Rules of Construction/Applicable Law. Any table of contents, captions,
headings and titles in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and
shall not affect its interpretation. This Lease shall be construed without
regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party
causing this Lease to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Lease shall
have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words
or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or
phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this
Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that said
words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. Each covenant,
agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease on Tenant's part to be
performed shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant
of Tenant, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease. All terms and
words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are
used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the
context may require.
26.13 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a
lesser amount than the Base Rent and additional charges payable hereunder shall
be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated
monthly Base Rent and additional rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on
any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment for monthly Base Rent
or additional rent be deemed an accord and
19
20
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such monthly Base Rent and additional
rent or pursue any other remedy provided herein by law.
26.14 Mortgagee's Notice and Opportunity to Cure. Tenant agrees to give any
Mortgagees and/or Trust Deed Holders, by registered or certified mail, a copy of
any Notice of Default served upon the Landlord, provided that, prior to such
notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of
Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the address of such Mortgagees and/or Trust
Deed Holders. Tenant further agrees that, if Landlord shall have failed to cure
such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagees
and/or Trust Deed Holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which
to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time then
such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days, any
Mortgagee and/or Trust Deed Holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the
remedies necessary to cure such default, (including but not limited to
commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure) in
which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so
diligently pursued.
26.15 Lease Condition. This Lease is expressly conditioned upon Landlord
receiving the consent and approval of Landlord's mortgagee to its terms and
provisions not later than twenty (20) days after its execution and delivery by
both parties. Should said consent not be received within the aforesaid time
period, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, cancel this Lease and return
any Base Rent and/or security to Tenant which Tenant has deposited with Landlord
upon execution of this Lease, and thereafter the parties shall have no further
obligations to each other with respect to this Lease.
26.16 Landlord's Reserved Right. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the
Premises are in the Building which is not open to the general public. Access to
the Building is restricted to Landlord, Tenant, their agents, employees and to
their invited visitors. In the event of a labor dispute including a strike,
picketing, informational or associational activities directed at Tenant or any
other tenant, Landlord reserves the right unilaterally to alter tenant's ingress
and egress to the Building or make any other change in operating conditions to
restrict pedestrian, vehicular or delivery ingress and egress to a particular
location provided none of the foregoing shall materially affect Tenant's use of
the Premises.
26.17 Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, Tenant represents and
warrants that this Lease and the undersigned's execution of this Lease has been
duly authorized and approved by the corporation's Board of Directors. The
undersigned officers and representatives of the corporation executing this Lease
on behalf of the corporation represent and warrant that they are officers of the
corporation with authority to execute this Lease on behalf of the corporation,
and within fifteen (15) days of execution hereof, Tenant will provide Landlord
with a corporate resolution confirming the aforesaid.
26.18 Government Requirements. In the event of the imposition of federal, state,
or local governmental control, rules, regulations, or restrictions on the use or
consumption of energy or other utilities or with respect to any other aspect of
this Lease during the Term, both Landlord and Tenant shall be bound thereby
without any adjustment in Base Rent or other sums due herein. In the event of a
difference in interpretation of any governmental control, rule, regulation or
restriction between Landlord and Tenant, the interpretation of Landlord shall
prevail, and Tenant shall have the right to enforce compliance, including the
right of entry into the Premises to effect compliance.
26.19 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Provided Tenant is not then in default of
this Lease, on or before the Commencement Date, Landlord will pay to Tenant a
Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount of $206,640.
26.20 Renewal Options. Tenant is hereby granted two (2) options to renew this
Lease upon the following terms and conditions:
(1) At the time of the exercise of each option to renew and at the time
of the said renewal, the Tenant shall not be in Default and shall be in
possession of the Premises pursuant to this Lease.
(2) Notice of the exercise of the first option shall be sent to the
Landlord in writing at least twelve (12) months before the expiration of the
Term of this Lease, and notice of the exercise of the second option shall be
sent to the Landlord in writing at least twelve (12) months before the
expiration of the first renewal option, TIME HEREBY BEING MADE OF THE ESSENCE.
(3) The renewal terms shall be for the term of five (5) years each, the
first renewal term to commence at the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and
the second renewal term to commence at the expiration of the first renewal term,
and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, other than the Base Rent,
shall apply during any such renewal term.
20
21
(4) The Base Rent to be paid during the first renewal term shall not be
less than that paid for the Premises during the last year of the original Term
of the Lease (without regard to any temporary abatement of rent then in effect
pursuant to the Lease provisions); and the Base Rent to be paid during the
second renewal term shall be not less than that paid for the Premises during the
last year of the first renewal term (without regard to any temporary abatement
of rent then in effect pursuant to the Lease provisions). However, if
ninety-five (95%) percent of the fair rental value per square foot at the
commencement of either renewal term shall exceed the rent as established in the
preceding sentence, the Tenant shall pay ninety-five (95%) percent of such fair
rental value. In determining the fair rental value, the Landlord shall notify
Tenant of the fair rental value as established by Landlord. Should Tenant
dispute Landlord's determination, then the Tenant shall be free to, at the
Tenant's sole cost and expense, employ the services of an appraiser familiar
with buildings similar to the Building and located within the Scottsdale,
Arizona area comparable to the Building, who shall be a member of The Appraisal
Institute ("MAI") and who shall render an appraisal. If the Landlord and the
Tenant's appraiser cannot agree on the fair rental value, or in such case, on an
independent appraiser acceptable to both, either party may request the American
Arbitration Association of Phoenix, Arizona to appoint such independent
appraiser who shall be a member of MAI familiar with buildings in the area of
the Building and in such event the judgment of the independent appraiser shall
be final and binding upon the parties. The parties shall share equally in the
cost of any such independent appraiser. Pending resolution of the issue of fair
rental value, the Tenant shall pay Landlord as of commencement of either renewal
term, the Rent as established by Landlord, subject to retroactive adjustment
upon final determination of this issue. Fair rental value shall be determined by
the arbitrators on the basis of what a willing landlord is prepared to give and
accept from a willing tenant and what a willing tenant is prepared to pay and
obtain from a willing landlord, assuming (i) the use of the Premises as offices,
(ii) that the Premises is free and clear of all leases and tenancies (including
this Lease), and (iii) that the Premises is available in the then rental market
for comparable first-class office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona; and shall
take into account all relevant factors including but not limited to:
(a) whether Landlord is or is not obligated to pay a brokerage
commission with respect to the renewal term;
(b) the fact that Landlord will not suffer a vacancy for the time under
then existing market conditions that the Premises would have remained unleased;
(c) the fact that Landlord will not have to provide a work letter or
work allowance comparable to the work letter or work allowance then being
offered by landlords of first-class office buildings to tenants entering into
new leases in Scottsdale, Arizona;
(d) the fact that Landlord will not have to provide the other
concessions and allowances, if any, then being offered by landlords of
first-class office buildings to tenants entering into new leases of premises
that are the same size of the Premises in Scottsdale, Arizona;
(e) the fact that there will be no option to renew;
(f) the fact that Tenant will be taking the Premises "as is" in its
then existing condition and state of repair; and
(g) the creditworthiness of the Tenant.
26.21 Business Days. As used herein, the term "business days" shall mean all the
days of each Lease Year and any extension or renewal thereof, except Saturdays,
Sundays and the holidays listed in Section 1.12.
26.22 Invitees. As used herein, the term "invitees" when referring to invitees
of Tenant shall not include members of the general public with whom Tenant does
not do business with.
26.23 Waiver of Statutory Liens. Without limiting any other rights or remedies
available at law or equity or otherwise set forth herein, Landlord hereby waives
any and all rights to enforce any statutory or common law landlord's lien with
respect to Tenant's property.
26.24 Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party breaches its obligations under
this Lease, then in addition to all other rights and remedies, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover from the breaching party its reasonable costs
and attorneys' fees in successfully enforcing the provisions of this Lease.
