ARTICLE 2. RENT, OPERATING EXPENSES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
2.1 BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay monthly as base rent during
the term of this Lease the sum of money set forth in Section 1.4
of this Lease, which amount shall be payable to Landlord at the
address shown above. One monthly installment shall be due and
payable on or before the Commencement Date; provided, if the
Commencement Date should be a date other than the first day of a
calendar month, the monthly rental set forth above shall be
E-66
prorated to the end of that calendar month, and all succeeding
installments of rent shall be due and payable on or before the
first day of each succeeding calendar month during the term of
this Lease. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all other sums
due under this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if
Landlord, for any reason whatsoever (other than Tenant's
default), cannot deliver possession of the Premises to the Tenant
on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or
voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage
resulting therefrom, nor shall the expiration of the term be
extended, but all rent shall be abated until Landlord delivers
possession.
2.2 OPERATING EXPENSES. Tenant shall also pay as additional
rent Tenant's pro rata share of the operating expenses of
Landlord for the Building. Landlord may invoice Tenant monthly
for Tenant's pro rata share of the estimated operating expenses
for each calendar year, which amount shall be adjusted from time-
to-time by Landlord based upon anticipated operating expenses and
shall be due at the same time base rent is due. Within six (6)
months following the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall
provide Tenant an accounting showing in reasonable detail the
computations of additional rent due under this Section. In the
event the accounting shows that the total of the monthly payments
made by Tenant exceeds the amount of additional rent due by
Tenant under this Section, the accounting shall be accompanied by
evidence of a credit to Tenant's account. In any event the
accounting shows that the total of the monthly payments made by
Tenant is less than the amount of additional rent due by Tenant
under this Section, the accounting shall be accompanied by an
invoice for the additional rent. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this Lease, during the year in which this Lease
terminates, Landlord, prior to the termination date, shall have
the option to invoice Tenant for Tenant's pro rata share of the
operating expenses based upon the previous year's operating
expenses. If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the
last day of a calendar year, the amount of any additional rent
payable by Tenant applicable to the year in which the termination
shall occur shall be prorated on the ratio that the number of
days from the commencement of the calendar year to and including
such termination date bears to 365. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Tenant agrees to pay any additional rent due under this
section within ten (10) days following receipt of the invoice or
accounting showing additional rent due. Tenant's pro rata share
set forth in Section 1.7 shall, subject to reasonable adjustment
by Landlord, be equal to a percentage based upon a fraction, the
numerator of which is the total area of the Premises as set forth
in Article 1 and the denominator of which shall be the net
rentable area of the Building, as the same may change from time
to time.
2.3 DEFINITION OF OPERATING EXPENSES. The term "operating
expenses" includes all expenses incurred by Landlord with respect

are required under any governmental law or regulation that was
not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed;

deed restrictions and/or owners' associations which accrue
against the Building during the term of this Lease and legal fees
incurred in connection with actions to reduce the same; and all

to pay, including fire and extended coverage, and rent loss and
public liability insurance, with respect to the Building.

insurance premiums paid by Landlord for the Building Is caused by

and causes an increase in such premiums, then Tenant shall pay as
additional rent the amount of such increase to Landlord.
2.5 SECURITY DEPOSIT. The security deposit set forth in Section
1.6 shall be held by Landlord for the performance of Tenant's
covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly
understood that the security deposit shall not be considered an
advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damage in
case of default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any event of
default by Tenant or breach by Tenant of Tenant's covenants under
E-67
this Lease, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to
any other remedy, use the security deposit to the extent
necessary to make good any arrears of rent, or to repair any
damage or injury, or pay any expense or liability incurred by
Landlord as a result of the event of default or breach of
covenant, and any remaining balance of the security deposit shall
be returned by Landlord to Tenant upon termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 7.CASUALTY AND INSURANCE
7.1 CASUALTY LOSS.
A. Total Destruction. If all of the Premises, the Building or
the Project are totally destroyed by fire or any other type of
casualty ("Casualty"), then this Lease shall terminate at the
option of either Landlord or Tenant by written notice to the
other party within sixty (60) days following the date of
Casualty, and the Rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion
of the Lease effective as of the date of Casualty.
B. Partial Destruction. If the Premises is partially damaged by
Casualty, and if the Premises are damaged to such extent that the
damage cannot, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, be rebuilt or
repaired economically (taking into account the time necessary
to. receive any insurance proceeds and using normal construction
methods without overtime or other premium) within two hundred
(200) business days after the date of Casualty, then this Lease
shall terminate at the option of Landlord or Tenant by written
notice to the other party within sixty (60) days following the
date of Casualty, and the Rent shall be abated for the unexpired
portion of the Lease effective as of the date of Casualty.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the
Premises or the Building is partially damaged by Casualty and
either (i) insurance proceeds are not made available to Landlord
or are inadequate for restoration, or (ii) repair or restoration
of the same would not be economically prudent in Landlord's
reasonable determination, then Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within sixty
(60) days following the date of Casualty, and the Rent shall be
abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease effective as of the
date of Casualty.
C. Restoration Obligations. If this Lease is not terminated
pursuant to Section 7.1.A. or 7.11.13 above, then Landlord shall,
at its sole expense, proceed with reasonable diligence, subject
to delays beyond he reasonable control of Landlord, to rebuild or
repair the Premises (exclusive of improvements, alterations or
changes thereto made or paid for by Tenant), the Building or
other improvements within the Project to as near the condition in
which they existed immediately prior to the date of Casualty as
reasonably possible. If the Premises are to be rebuilt or
repaired and are untenantable in whole or in part following the
Casualty, and the Casualty was not caused or contributed to by
the actions or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors, customers or invitees, then the Rent payable under
this Lease during the period for which the Premises are
untenantable shall be abated in proportion to the areas of the
Premises rendered untenantable (as reasonably and equitably
determined by Landlord) from the date of Casualty until
restoration is completed by Landlord.
D. Insurance Proceeds. Tenant hereby waives any right in or
claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance maintained by
Landlord under this Lease. If any insurance proceeds are
recoverable on account of any Casualty affecting the Premises,
the Building or Project, then Tenant agrees that as between this
Lease and any recorded mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument presently existing or hereafter created covering
Landlord's interest in all or part of the Premises, Building or
the Project, and all increases, refinancings, extensions,
renewals, amendments and modifications thereof (collectively,
"Mortgage"), the terms of such Mortgage shall govern and be
determinative relative to the payment and disposition of such
proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, if the holder of a Mortgage purchases or acquires
Landlord's interest in the Premises, Building or Project by
foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof, then such holder shall
not be bound by the restoration obligations set forth in this
Section 7 and shall have the right to apply or dispose of any
insurance proceeds recoverable under insurance maintained by
Landlord under this Lease pursuant to the terms of such Mortgage.
7.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall not be obligated in any
way or manner to insure any personal property (including, but not
limited to, any furniture, machinery, goods or supplies) of

paid for by Tenant upon or within the Premises, or any
improvements which Tenant may construct on the Premises. Tenant
shall maintain property insurance on its personal property and
shall also maintain plate glass insurance. Tenant shall have no
right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance
maintained by Landlord even if the cost of such insurance is
borne by Tenant as set forth in Article 2.
7.3 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Anything in this Lease to the
contrary withstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and
release each other of and from any and all right of recovery,
claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their
agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may
E-70
occur to the Premises, the improvements of the Building or
personal property within the Building, by reason of fire or the
elements, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of
Landlord or Tenant and their agents, officers and employees.
Landlord and Tenant agree immediately to give their respective
insurance companies which have issued policies of insurance
covering all risk of direct physical loss, written notice of the
terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section.
7.4 HOLD HARMLESS. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant's
employees, agents, invitees, licensees or visitors, or to any
other person, for an injury to person or damage to property on or
about the Premises caused by any act or omission of Tenant, its
agents, servants or employees, or of any other person entering
upon the Premises under express or implied invitation by Tenant,
or caused by the improvements located on the Premises becoming
out of repair, the failure or cessation of any service provided
by Landlord (including security service and devices), or caused
by leakage of gas, oil, water or steam or by electricity
emanating from the Premises. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord of and from any loss, attorney's fees, expenses
or claims arising out of any such damage or injury.
7.5 PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall, during the term
hereof, keep in full force and effect at its expense a policy or
policies of public liability insurance with respect to the
Premises and the business of Tenant, on terms and with companies
approved in writing by Landlord, in which both Tenant and
Landlord shall be covered by being named as insured parties under
reasonable limits of liability not less than $1,000,000, or such
greater coverage as Landlord may reasonably require, combined
single limit coverage for injury or death. Such policy or
policies shall provide that thirty (30) days' written notice must
be given to Landlord prior to cancellation thereof. Tenant shall
furnish evidence satisfactory to Landlord at the time this Lease
is executed that such coverage is in full force and effect.
ARTICLE 8. CONDEMNATION
8.1 SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If all or a substantial part of the
Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any
governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent
domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking would
prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for
the purpose for which it is then being used, this Lease shall
terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired
portion of this Lease effective on the date physical possession
is taken by the condemning authority. Tenant shall have no claim
to the condemnation award or proceeds in lieu thereof, except
that Tenant shall be entitled to a separate award for the cost of
removing and moving its personal property.
8.2 PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a substantial part of the Premises
are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any
governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent
domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not
terminated as provided in Section 8.1 above, the rent payable
under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the term shall
be adjusted to such an extent as may be fair and reasonable under
the circumstances.
Tenant shall have no claim to the condemnation award or proceeds
in lieu thereof, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a
separate award for the cost of removing and moving its personal
property.
ARTICLE 9. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE
9.1 LANDLORD ASSIGNMENT. Landlord shall have the right to sell,
transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its rights and
obligations under this Lease and in the Building. Any such sale,
transfer or assignment shall operate to release Landlord from any
and all liabilities under this Lease arising after the date of
such sale, assignment or transfer.
9.2 TENANT ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall not assign, in whole or in
part, this Lease, or allow it to be assigned, in whole or in
part, by operation of law or otherwise (including without
limitation by transfer of a majority interest of stock, merger,
or dissolution, which transfer of majority interest of stock,
merger or dissolution shall be deemed an assignment) or mortgage
or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises, in whole or in part,
without the prior written consent of Landlord, and in no event
shall said such assignment or sublease ever release Tenant or any
guarantor from any obligation or liability hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the
event of any assignment or sublease, any option or right of first
refusal granted to Tenant shall not be assignable by Tenant to
E-71
any assignee or sublessee. No assignee or sublessee of the
Premises or any portion thereof may assign or sublet the Premises
or any portion thereof.
9.3 CONDITIONS OF ASSIGNMENT. If Tenant desires to assign or
sublet all or any part of the Premises, it shall so notify
Landlord at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on
which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease. Tenant
shall provide Landlord with a copy of the proposed assignment or
sublease and such information as Landlord might request
concerning the proposed sublessee or assignee to allow Landlord
to make informed judgments as to the financial condition,
reputation, operations and general desirability of the proposed
sublessee or assignee. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's
receipt of Tenant's proposed assignment or sublease and all
required information concerning the proposed sublease or
assignee, Landlord shall have the following options: (1) cancel
this Lease as to the Premises or portion thereof proposed to be
assigned or sublet; (2) consent to the proposed assignment or
sublease, and, if the rent due and payable by any assignee or
sublessee under any such permitted assignment or sublease (or a
combination of the rent payable under such assignment or sublease
plus any bonus or any other consideration or any payment incident
thereto) exceeds the rent payable under this Lease for such
space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such excess rent and
other excess consideration within ten 0 0) days following receipt
thereof by Tenant; or (3) refuse, in its sole and absolute
discretion and judgement, to consent to the proposed assignment
or sublease, which refusal shall be deemed to have been exercised
unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice providing otherwise.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default, if all or any part of
the Premises are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition
to any other remedies provided by this Lease or provided by law,
may, at its option, collect directly from the assignee or
sublessee all rents becoming due to Tenant by reason of the
assignment or sublease, and Landlord shall have a security
interest in all properties on the Premises to secure payment of
such sums. Any collection directly by Landlord from the assignee
or sublessee shall not be construed to constitute a novation or a
release of Tenant or any guarantor from the further performance
of its obligations under this Lease.
9.4 RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and
subordinate to any recorded mortgage presently existing or
hereafter created upon the Building and to all existing recorded
restrictions, covenants, easements and agreements with respect to
the Building. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full
power and authority to subordinate Tenant's interest under this
Lease to any first mortgage lien hereafter placed on the
Premises, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute additional
instruments subordinating this Lease as Landlord may require. If
the interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be transferred
by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of
any first mortgage or deed of trust on the Premises, Tenant shall
be bound to the transferee (sometimes called the "Purchaser") at
the option of the Purchaser, under the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease for the balance of the term remaining,
including any extensions or renewals, with the same force and
effect as if the Purchaser were Landlord under this Lease, and,
if requested by the Purchaser, Tenant agrees to attorn to the
Purchaser, including the first mortgagee under any such mortgage
if it be the Purchaser, as its Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the
Premises so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.
9.5 TENANT'S STATEMENT. Tenant agrees to furnish, from time to
time, within ten (10) days after receipt of a request from
Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee, a statement certifying, if
applicable, the following: Tenant is in possession of the
Premises; the Premises are acceptable; the Lease is in full force
and effect; the Lease is unmodified; Tenant claims no present
charge, lien, or claim or offset against rent; the rent is paid
for the current month, but is not prepaid for more than one month
and will not be prepaid for more than one month in advance; there
is no existing default by reason of some act or omission by
Landlord; and such other matters as may be reasonably required by
Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee. Tenant's failure to deliver
such statement, in addition to being a default under this Lease,
shall be deemed to establish conclusively that this Lease is in
full force and effect except as declared by Landlord, that
Landlord is not in default of any of its obligations under this
Lease, and that Landlord has not received more than one month's
rent in advance. Tenant agrees to furnish, from time to time,
within ten (10) days after receipt of a request from Landlord, a
current financial statement of Tenant, certified as true and
correct by Tenant.

in default in the payment of any rentals, damages or other
payments required to be made by this Lease or is in default of
any other provision of this Lease, Landlord may enter upon the
Premises, by picking or changing locks if necessary, and take
possession of all or any part of the personal property, and may
sell all or any part of the personal property at a public or
private sale, in one or successive sales, with or without notice,
to the highest bidder for cash, and, on behalf of Tenant, sell
and convey all or part of the personal property to the highest

events of default ("Default") by Tenant under this Lease: (1)
Tenant shall fail to pay when due any installment of rent or any
other payment required pursuant to this Lease; (2) Tenant shall

fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this

that it cannot meet its financial obligations as they become due;
or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or

transfer in fraud of creditors or shall make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors; or (5) Tenant shall do or permit to be
done any act which results in a lien being filed against the
Premises or the Building and/or project of which the Premises are
a part.
In the event that an order for relief is entered in any case
under Title 11, U.S.C. (the "Bankruptcy Code") in which Tenant is
the debtor and: (A) Tenant as debtor-in-possession, or any
trustee who may be appointed in the case (the "Trustee") seeks to
assume the lease, then Tenant, or Trustee if applicable, in
addition to providing adequate assurance described in applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall provide adequate
assurance to Landlord of Tenant's future performance under the
Lease by depositing with Landlord a sum equal to the lesser of
twenty-five percent (25%) of the rental and other charges due for
the balance of the Lease term or six (6) months' rent
("Security"), to be held (without any allowance for interest
thereon) to secure Tenant's obligation under the Lease, and (B)
Tenant, or Trustee if applicable, seeks to assign the Lease after
assumption of the same, then Tenant, in addition to providing
adequate assurance described in applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, shall provide adequate assurance to Landlord of
the proposed assignee's future performance under the Lease by
depositing with Landlord a sum equal to the Security to be held
(without any allowance or interest thereon) to secure performance
under the Lease. Nothing contained herein expresses or implies,
or shall be construed to express or imply, that Landlord is
consenting to assumption and/or assignment of the Lease by
Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves all of its rights to
object to any assumption and/or assignment of the Lease. Neither
Tenant nor any Trustee shall conduct or permit the conduct of any
"fire", "bankruptcy", "going out of business" or auction sale in
or from the Premises.
11.2 REMEDIES FOR TENANT'S DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of a
Default as defined above, Landlord may elect either (i) to cancel
and terminate this Lease and this Lease shall not be treated as
an asset of Tenant's bankruptcy estate, or (ii) to terminate
Tenant's right to possession only without cancelling and
terminating Tenant's continued liability under this Lease.
Notwithstanding the fact that initially Landlord elects under (H)
E-73
to terminate Tenant's right to possession only, Landlord shall
have the continuing right to cancel and terminate this Lease by
giving three (3) days' written notice to Tenant of such further
election, and shall have the right to pursue any remedy at law or
in equity that may be available to Landlord. In the event of
election under (ii) to terminate Tenant's right to possession
only, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, enter the Premises and
take and hold possession thereof, without such entry into
possession terminating this Lease or releasing Tenant in whole or
in part from Tenant's obligation to pay all amounts hereunder for
the full stated term. Upon such reentry, Landlord may remove all
persons and property from the Premises and such property may be
removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost
and for the account of Tenant, without becoming liable for any
loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Such reentry
shall be conducted in the following manner: without resort to
judicial process or notice of any kind if Tenant has abandoned or
voluntarily surrendered possession of the Premises; and,
otherwise, by resort to judicial process. Upon and after entry
into possession without termination of the Lease, Landlord may,
but is not obligated to, relet the Premises, or any part thereof,
to any one other than the Tenant, for such time and upon such
terms as Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, shall
determine. Landlord may make alterations and repairs to the
Premises to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable
to relet the Premises.
Upon such reentry, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord as follows:
A. For all attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection
with exercising any remedy hereunder;
B. For the unpaid installments of base rent, additional rent or
other unpaid sums which were due prior to such reentry,
including interest and late payment fees, which sums shall
be payable immediately.
C. For the installments of base rent, additional rent, and
other sums falling due pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease for the period after reentry during which the Premises
remain vacant, including late payment charges and interest,
which sums shall be payable as they become due hereunder.
D. For all expenses incurred in releasing the Premises,
including leasing commissions, attorneys' fees, and costs of
alteration or repairs, which shall be payable by Tenant as
they are incurred by Landlord; and
E. While the Premises are subject to any new lease or leases
made pursuant to this Section, for the amount by which the
monthly installments payable under such new lease or leases
is less than the monthly installment for all charges payable
pursuant to this Lease, which deficiencies shall be payable
monthly.
Notwithstanding Landlord's election to terminate Tenant's right
to possession only, and notwithstanding any reletting without
termination, Landlord, at any time thereafter, may elect to
terminate this Lease, and to recover (in lieu of the amounts
which would thereafter be payable pursuant to the foregoing, but
not in diminution of the amounts payable as provided above before
termination), as damages for loss of bargain and not as a
penalty, an aggregate sum equal to the amount by which the rental
value of the portion of the term unexpired at the time of such
election is less than an amount equal to the unpaid base rent,
percentage rent, and additional rent and all other charges which
would have been payable by Tenant for the unexpired portion of
the term of this Lease, which deficiency and all expenses
incident thereto, including commissions, attorneys' fees,
expenses of alterations and repairs, shall be due to Landlord as
of the time Landlord exercises said election, notwithstanding
that the term had not expired. If Landlord, after such reentry,
leases the Premises, then the rent payable under such new lease
shall be conclusive evidence of the rental value of the unexpired
portion of the term of this Lease.
If this Lease shall be terminated by reason of bankruptcy or
insolvency of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from
Tenant or Tenant's estate, as liquidated damages for loss of
bargain and not as a penalty, the amount determined by the
immediately preceding paragraph.
11.3 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR ACCOUNT OF TENANT. If
Tenant shall be in Default under this Lease, Landlord may cure
the Default at any time for the account and at the expense of
Tenant. If Landlord cures a Default on the part of Tenant, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount expended by
Landlord in connection with the cure, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and interest.
11.4 INTEREST, ATTORNEY'S FEES AND LATE CHARGE. In the event
of a Default by Tenant: (1) if a monetary default, interest shall
accrue on any sum due and unpaid at the rate of the lesser of
E-74
eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by
law and, if Landlord places in the hands of an attorney the
enforcement of all or any part of this Lease, the collection of
any rent due or to become due or recovery of the possession of
the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord's costs of
collection, including reasonable attorney's fees for the services
of the attorney, whether Suit is actually filed or not. Other
remedies for nonpayment of rent notwithstanding, if the monthly
rental payment or any other payment due from Tenant to Landlord
is not received by Landlord on or before the fifth (5th) day of
the month for which the rent is due, a late payment charge of
five percent (5%) of such past due amount shall become due and
payable in addition to such amounts owed under this Lease.
11.5 ADDITIONAL REMEDIES, WAIVERS, ETC.
A. The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall
be in addition to any other right and remedy now and
hereafter provided by law. All rights and remedies shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of each other. Landlord may
exercise its rights and remedies at any times, in any order,
to any extent, and as often as Landlord deems advisable
without regard to whether the exercise of one right or
remedy precedes, concurs with or succeeds the exercise of
another.
B. A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not
preclude a further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
another right or remedy from time to time.
C. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or
remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a
waiver of, or acquiescence to, a Default.
D. No waiver of Default shall extend to or affect any other
Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto.

of Default.
