The term of this Lease shall be the term specified in the Basic Lease Information, which shall commence on the Commencement Date and, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall end on the Expiration Date. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but, in such event, the Commencement Date shall be postponed until the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant.

Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, on or before the Commencement Date and on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease. If such notice is not given for any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year's estimate until the month after such notice is given, and subsequent payments by Tenant shall be based on Landlord's current estimate.

ARTICLE 10

(a) Tenant fails to pay any Base Rent, or any additional monthly rent under Section 3.1, hereof, or any other amount of money payable by Tenant hereunder as and when such rent becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than five (5) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that after the second such failure in a calendar year, only the passage of time, but no further written notice, shall be required to establish an Event of Default in the same calendar year; or
(b) Tenant fails to perform or breaches any other agreement or covenant of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant as and when performance or observance is due and such failure or breach continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if, by the nature of such agreement or covenant, such failure or breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period of ten (10) days, an Event of Default shall not exist as long as Tenant commences with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such failure or breach within such period of ten (10) days and, having so commenced, thereafter prosecutes with diligence and dispatch and completes the curing of such failure or breach; or
(c) Tenant (i) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors' relief law of any jurisdiction, (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers of Tenant or of any substantial part of Tenant's property; or

If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the right at any time to give a written termination notice to Tenant and, on the date specified in such notice, Tenant's right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the full and immediate right to possession of the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant all unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination, all unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after termination, and all other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s failure to perform all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. If an Event of Default occurs and Landlord does not exercise its right to terminate, then this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of
8
Default, Landlord shall have the right to exercise and enforce all rights and remedies granted or permitted by law and the remedies provided for in this Lease are cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or otherwise surrender of the Premises can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant and exercise by Landlord of any remedy shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Tenant, either by agreement or by operation of law.
10.3 Tenant's Primary Duty. All agreements and covenants to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money to be paid by Tenant or to perform any other act to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, to make any such payment or to perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant in accordance with this Lease. All sums so paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and all costs incurred or paid by Landlord shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and Tenant shall pay the same to Landlord on written demand, together with interest on all such sums and costs from the date of expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not have any personal liability under this Lease. In the event of any default by Landlord under this Lease, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then owned by Landlord in the Property, and in no event shall any deficiency judgment or personal money judgment of any kind be sought or obtained against Landlord.
ARTICLE 11
Casualty
11.1 Casualty. If fire or other casualty damages the Premises or common areas of the Property necessary for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's agents, officers, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, then, during the period the Premises is rendered unusable by such damage, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in Base Rent in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered unusable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Property or the Premises, or any part thereof, is damaged by fire or other casualty before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease and (a) such fire or other casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease, or (b) the insurance proceeds received by Landlord in respect of such damage are not adequate to pay the entire cost, as reasonably estimated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, of the repair and restoration work to be performed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or (c) the repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord cannot, as reasonably estimated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, be completed within four (4) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, then, in any such event, Landlord shall have the right, by giving written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, to terminate this Lease as of the date of such notice.

ARTICLE 12
Eminent Domain
12.1 Condemnation. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any part of the Premises or any substantial part of the Property (whether or not it includes the Premises) is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain (including any voluntary conveyance in lieu thereof) before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if a substantial portion of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease and the remaining portion of the Premises is not reasonably suitable for Tenant's purposes.

If all of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking. All awards, compensation, damages, income, rent and interest payable in connection with such taking shall, except as expressly set forth below, be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of the foregoing. Tenant shall have the right to claim and receive directly from the entity exercising the power of eminent domain only the share of any award determined to be owing to Tenant for the taking of improvements installed in the portion of the Premises so taken by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense based on the unamortized cost actually paid by Tenant for such improvements, for the taking of Tenant's movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and personal property, for loss of goodwill, for interference with or interruption of Tenant's business, or for removal and relocation expenses.
ARTICLE 13

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of all mortgages and deeds of trust securing any amount or amounts whatsoever which may now exist or hereafter be placed on or against the Property or on or against Landlord's interest or estate therein, all without the necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effect such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust or of any other action or proceeding for the enforcement thereof, or of any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated or extinguished, nor shall the rights and possession of Tenant hereunder be disturbed, if no Event of Default then exists under this Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to the person who acquires Landlord's interest hereunder through any such mortgage or deed of trust. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of all such mortgages and deeds of trust as may reasonably be required by Landlord.
