property insurance premium for the Office Building Project over what it was
immediately prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease if the increase
is specified by Lessor's insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of
Lessee's occupancy or any act or omission of Lessee.
8.5. INSURANCE POLICIES. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of
liability insurance policies and ENDORSEMENT NAMING LESSOR AS AN ADDITIONAL
INSURED required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the existence

Commencement Date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject

prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of such policies furnish Lessor with renewals thereof.
8.6. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other,
for direct or consequential loss or damage arising out of or incident to the
perils covered by property insurance carried by such party, whether due to the
negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or
invitees. If necessary all property insurance policies required under this Lease
shall be endorsed to so provide.
8.7. INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its
agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and lenders, from and against
any and all claims for damage to the person or property of anyone or any entity
arising from Lessee's use of the Office Building Project, or from the conduct of
Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or
suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims, costs
and expenses arising from any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or
arising from any act or omission of Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents,
contractors, employees or invitees, and from and against all costs, attorney's
fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by Lessor as the result of any such use,
conduct, activity, work, things done, permitted or suffered, breach, default or
negligence, and in dealing reasonably therewith, including, but not limited to
the defense or pursuit of any claims or any action or proceeding involved
therein; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such matter, Lessee upon notice form Lessor shall defend the same
at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor
shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any
such claim in order to be indemnified. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property of Lessee
and to persons, in, upon or about the Office Building Project arising from any
cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
8.8. EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or loss of or damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person
in or about the Premises or the Office building Project, nor shall Lessor be
liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or
contractors, whether such damage is caused by or results from theft, fire,
steam, electricity, gas, water or rain or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing,
air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause whether said
damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the Office Building Project, or from other sources or places, or
from new construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of
the Office Building Project, or of the equipment, fixtures or appurtenances
applicable thereto, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible, Lessor shall not be liable
for any damages arising from any
10
act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or user of the Office Building
Project, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other
lease of any other lessee of the Office Building Project.

option, if it is to be exercised at all, no later than twenty (20) days after
the occurrence of an Insured Loss falling within the classification of Premises

essential services), the rent payable hereunder (including Lessee's Share of
Operating Expense Increase) for the period during which such damage, repair or
restoration continues shall be abated, provided (1) the damage was not the
result of the negligence of Lessee, and (2) such abatement shall only be to the

9.5.2 If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises or the Building under the provisions of this paragraph 9 and shall not
commence such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days
12
after such occurrence, or if Lessor shall not complete the restoration and
repair within six (6) months after such occurrence, Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written notice of

increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional
improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
10.3. DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX". As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,

nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real
property tax", or (iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged
prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged, has been increased since June
1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a change in ownership, as
defined by applicable local statutes for property tax purposes, of the Office
Building Project or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included
within the definition of real property tax by reason of such change of
ownership, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any
modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.

which are to be paid separately by Lessee under paragraph 10.2 or 10.5 are not
separately assessed, Lessee's portion of that tax shall be equitably determined

faith, shall be conclusive.

during generally accepted business days and hours or such other days or hours as
may hereafter be set forth. Utilities and services required at other times shall
be subject to advance request and reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of the cost
thereof.
11.3. EXCESS USAGE BY LESSEE. Lessee shall not make connection to the
utilities except by or through existing outlets and shall not install or use
machinery or equipment in or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting
or power, or suffer or permit any act that causes extra burden upon the
utilities or services, including but not limited to security services, over
standard office usage for the Office Building Project. Lessor shall require
Lessee to reimburse Lessor for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out
of a breach of this subparagraph by Lessee. Lessor may in its sole discretion,
install at Lessee's expense supplemental equipment and/or separate metering
applicable to Lessee's excess usage or loading.
11.4. INTERRUPTIONS. There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor
shall not be liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage,
interruption or discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike,
labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's
reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1. LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1. "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include
the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation, more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or (b) if
Lessee is a partnership or limited liability company, more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the profit and loss participation in such partnership or
limited liability company.
14
12.2. LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate"
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and Lessor shall be
given written notice of such assignment and assumption. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit of Lessee under the terms of this Lease
even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are
materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom
shall not be necessary.
12.3. TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.3.1 Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or
subletting shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation hereunder or alter the
primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder
including Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder.
12.3.2 Lessor may accept rent from any person other than
Lessee pending approval or disapproval of such assignment.
12.3.3 Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver
or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of
the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.
12.3.4 If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been
guaranteed by third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's
consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantor give their written
consent to such sublease and the terms thereof.
12.3.5 The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting
shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by
Lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the
sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments
of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying
Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining
their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability
under this Lease or said sublease; however, such persons shall not be
responsible to the extent any such amendment or modification enlarges or
increases the obligations of the Lessee or sublessee under this Lease or such
sublease.
12.3.6 In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor
may proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible
for the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first
exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible
therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
12.3.7 Lessor's written consent to any assignment or
subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that
no default then exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by
Lessee nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default,
except as may be otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.
12.3.8 The discovery of the fact that any financial statement
relied upon by Lessor in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was
materially false shall, at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null
and void.
15
12.4. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING:
Regardless of Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply
to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be
deemed included in all subleases under this ___________ whether or not expressly
incorporated therein:
12.4.1. Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore
or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and
apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that
until a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease to Lessor nor by reason for the collection of the rents from a
sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such
sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in
the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents due and to become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such
sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor;
12.4.2. No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective
unless and until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any
sublease, Lessee shall use only such form of sublessee as is satisfactory to
Lessor, and once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or
modified without Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublessee shall, by reason
of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of
Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every
obligation herein to be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are
contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which
Lessor has expressly consented in writing;
12.4.3. In the event Lessee shall default in the performance
of its obligations under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from
the time for the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security
deposit paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of
Lessee under such sublease;
12.4.4. No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent; and
12.4.5. With regard to any subletting to which Lessor has
consented, Lessor agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to
the sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee
within three (3) days after service of said notice of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.
12.5. LESSOR'S EXPENSE. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor for any act proposes to do then Lessee
shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith, including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other consultants'
fees.
16
12.6. CONDITIONS TO CONSENT. Lessor reserves the right to condition any
approval to assign or sublet upon Lessor's determination that (a) the proposed
assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality
substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character
of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of
any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the proposed
assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as Lessee was
expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or such assignment or
subletting, whichever is greater.
13. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
13.1. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:
13.1.1 The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee;
vacation of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a
continuous period of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid;
13.1.2 The breach of Lessee of any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of paragraphs 7.3.1, 7.3.2 or 7.3.4 (alterations), 12.1
(assignment or subletting), 13.1.1 (vacation or abandonment), 13.1.5
(insolvency), 13.1.6 (false statement), 16.1 (estoppel certificate), 30.2
subordination), 33 (auctions), or 41.1 (easements), all of which are hereby
deemed to be material, non-curable defaults without the necessity of any notice
by Lessor to Lessee thereof;
13.1.3 The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or
any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due,
where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written
notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee
with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer
statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice
required by this subparagraph;
13.1.4 The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Lessee other than those reference in subparagraphs 13.1.2 or 13.1.3, above,
where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof from lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if
Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty (30 day period and thereafter
diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such
thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required
to be given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes;
13.1.5 (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becoming a "debtor"
as defined in 11 U.S.C. ss.101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the
case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)
days; (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty
(30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)
days. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1.5 is contrary to
any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect; and/or
13.1.6 The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement
given to Lessor by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of
Lessee's obligation hereunder, was materially false.
17
13.2. REMEDIES. In the event of any material default or breach of this
Lease by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or
demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which
lessor may have by reason of such default:
13.2.1 Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises
by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and term hereof shall terminate
and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In
such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred
by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost
of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses or reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
which the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount
of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably
avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to
paragraph 53 applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease;
13.2.2 Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case
this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or
abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of
Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
the rent as it becomes due hereunder; and/or
13.2.3 Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.
13.3. DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in
writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently pursues the same to completion.
13.4. LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase or
other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by
this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges,
and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment
of Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation",) this
Lease shall terminate as to the date the condemning authority
18
takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of
the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such condemnation as
would substantially and adversely affect the operation and profitability of
Lessee's business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall have the option, to
be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after Lessor shall have
given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice,
within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall have taken
possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority
takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance
with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Lessee's Share of
Operating Expense increase shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor
area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises. Common
Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Lessee and no
reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof. Lessor
shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this lease as of the
taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written notice to
Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a
taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office Building
Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or the
Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment made
under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by lessee. For that purpose the cost
of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding any options. In the event that this lease is not terminated by reason
of such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by Lessor
in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused
by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of
such severance damages required to complete such repair.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
16.1. Each party (as "responding party") shall at any time upon not
less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from the other party ("requesting
party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in
writing (i) 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, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed and (iii) any other provisions of the standard from
AIR Estoppel. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or encumbrances of the Office Building Project or of the
business of the Lessee.
16.2. At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material default of this Lease by the
party who is to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall
be conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance, and (iii)
if Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one month's rent has been paid
in advance.
16.3. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Office
Building Project, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any
lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of lessee as
may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall
include the
19
past three (3) years' financial statements of lessee. All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "lessor" as used herein shall mean only the
owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or an interest in a
ground lease of the Office Building Project, in the event of any transfer of
such title or interest. Lessor herein named case of any subsequent transfers
then the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of
all liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed,
provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time
of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the
grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor
shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on lessor's successors and assigns, only
during their respective periods of ownership.
18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law or judgments from the date due. Payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided,
however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee
nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to
be performed under this Lease.
21. ADDITIONAL RENT. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Lessee's share of Operating
Expense Increase and any other expenses payable by Lessee hereunder shall be
deemed to be rent.
22. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter
shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the
parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated
in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker
listed in paragraph 53 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction or
the Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or
written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use
by Lessee of the Premises or the Office Building Project and Lessee acknowledges
that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health
Act, the legal ▇▇▇ and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof
with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this
Lease.
23. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or registered
mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below or adjacent to the signature of the
respective parties, as the case may be. Mailed notices shall be deemed given
upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight hours following
deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either party may
by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except
that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall
constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required
or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted
to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereinafter by notice to Lessee.
20
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.
25. RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other, execute
acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this Lease for
recording purposes.
26. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or early termination of the
term hereof, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the
provisions of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of lessee, except that
the rent payable shall be ONE HUNDRED FIFTY PERCENT (150%) of the rent payable
immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease, and all Options, if
any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of
no further effect during said month to month tenancy. If Lessee, without
Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the expiration or early termination of the term hereof, such occupancy
shall be a tenancy at sufferance upon all the provisions of this Lease
pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, except that the rent payable shall be
two hundred percent (200%) of the rent payable immediately preceding the
termination date of this Lease.
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by lessee
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of paragraph
17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
where the Office Building Project is located and any litigation concerning this
lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the
Office Building Project is located and any litigation concerning this Lease
between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the Office

30. SUBORDINATION.
30.1. This Lease, and any Option or right of first refusal granted
hereby, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed
upon the Office Building Project and to any and all advances made on the
security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination,
Lessee's right to quiet possession of the premises shall not be disturbed if
Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the rent and observe
and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground Lessor
shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien
of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice
thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are
dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease or the date of recording thereof.
21
30.2. Lessee agrees to execute all documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease granted herein prior to the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be.
Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written
demand shall constitute a material default by lessee hereunder without further
notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall execute such documents on
behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make,
constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in
Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with
this paragraph 30.2.
31. ATTORNEY'S FEES.
31.1. If either party brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or
declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action, trial or
appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees to be paid by
the losing party as fixed by the court in the same or a separate suit, and
whether or not such action is pursued to decision or judgment.
31.2. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance
with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all
attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in good faith.
31.3. Lessor shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all
other costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notice of
default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal

Premises at reasonable times for the purposes of inspecting the same, performing
any services required of Lessor, showing the same to prospective purchasers,

other necessary structures, making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises or to the Office Building Project as Lessor may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using and maintaining

premises as long as there is no material adverse effect to Lessee's use of the
Premises. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or the Building
any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any times during the last one
hundred twenty (120) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any
ordinary "For Lease" signs.
32.2. All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall be
without abatement of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for the
same.
32.3. Lessor shall have the right to retain keys to the Premises and to
unlock all doors in or upon the Premises other than to files, vaults and safes
and in the case of emergency, to enter the Premises by any reasonably
appropriate means, and any such entry shall not be deemed a forcible or unlawful
entry or detainer of the Premises or an eviction. Lessee waives any charges for
damages or injuries with Lessee's property or business in connection therewith.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common Areas
without first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to
exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such
consent. The holding of any auction on the Premises or Common Areas in violation
of this paragraph shall constitute a material default in this Lease.
22
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or the Office
Building Project without Lessor's prior written consent. Under no circumstances
shall Lessee place a sign on any roof of the Office Building Project.
35. MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
36. CONSENTS. Except for paragraphs 33 (auctions) and 34 (signs) hereof,
wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act of the
other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
37. GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this
lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent and
warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and legally capable of
executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such execution is binding upon
all parties holding an ownership interest in the Office Building Project.

of Operating Expenses, as set forth in paragraph 4.2.2.
40.2. Lessor shall have the following rights:

or the Office building Project or on pole signs in the Common Areas.

41. EASEMENTS.
41.1. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant
such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable,
and to cause the recordation of the Parcel maps and restrictions, so long as
such easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so shall
constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee without the need for
further notice to Lessee.
41.2. The obstruction of Lessee's view, air or light by any structure
erected in the vicinity of the Building, whether by Lessor or third parties,
shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Lessor.
42. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall be
regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part
of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be
adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay
such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum
or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of
this Lease.
43. AUTHORITY. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, Lessee, and each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such
entity represent and warrant that such individual is duly authorized to execute

trust or partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of
this Lease, deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.
44. CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions, Exhibits or Addenda
of this Lease and the typewritten or handwritten provisions, shall be controlled
by the typewritten or handwritten provisions.
45. NO OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by Lessor's agent and submission of same
to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to Lessee to lease. This Lease shall
become binding upon Lessor and Lessee only when fully executed by both parties.
46. LENDER MODIFICATION. Lessee agrees to make such reasonable modifications to
this Lease as may be reasonably required by an institutional lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the Office
Building Project.

Lessor or Lessee herein, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the

56. OPERATING EXPENSE GROSS UP. The following is added at the end of Paragraph
4.2:
If the Building is not ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during all or
any portion of the Base Year and/or any Comparison Year, Lessor shall make an
appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for that

Lessor employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the
amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building been
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and the amount so determined shall be deemed

Comparison Year, as applicable.

parties to the Lease of any terms of the Lease (including, with limitation, any
claims as to the interpretation or validity of the Lease or of the scope of this
section) are encompassed within this provision, which is intended to be applied

jurisdiction, nor to any matter where the amount of the controversy does not
exceed the principal sum of $5,000, exclusive of interest, cost, and attorneys'
4
fees, nor to any matter where the relief requested by any of the parties is as a
matter of law not permissible or available in an arbitration proceeding nor to
any right to seek writs, injunctive relief, restraining orders or specific
performance. The parties by electing arbitration do not intend to limit their
ability to obtain a writ of attachment and shall have the same right as if a
lawsuit had commenced, and the parties hereby waive any provision of Civil Code
1281.8 to the contrary.
An arbitration under this section may be commenced at any time by any
party to the Lease. Prior to the commencement of any such arbitration, however,
the party seeking to commence the arbitration shall provide not less than ten

Lease, of his, her, or its intent to commence an arbitration. Such notice shall
identify the nature of the dispute and the parties who will be joined in the

County Bar Association, shall be made in accordance with the neutral selection
procedures established by such organizations from time to time, and not
unilaterally by the party commencing the arbitration.

whatsoever for any acts or omissions performed or omitted in good faith pursuant
to the provisions of this section.

by law, including the awarding of any and all monetary damages and attorneys'
fees, and any and all provisional remedies and injunctive relief, to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

arbitration, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that any party
who so requests may, at that party's expense, have a certified shorthand
reporter transcribe the proceedings. The party shall pay for the certified
shorthand reporter, but any party shall be able to obtain a copy of the
transcript at the cost of the party making the request.
13. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and may
be confirmed and entered by any court of competent jurisdiction at the request

other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration, in
accordance with paragraph 31, and the non prevailing parry shall pay the cost of

60. RECOVERY OF CONCESSIONS UPON EARLY TERMINATION. In the event that Lessee's
right of possession of the Premises is terminated prior to the end of the
initial term by reason of default, legal process, abandonment, or any other
reason other than mutual agreement of the parties, then immediately upon such
termination, an amount shall be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor equal to the
unamortized portion as of that date (which amortization shall exclude any Option
Terms and shall be based on an interest rate of ten (10%) percent per annum) of
the sum of (i) the value of the free Base Rent (i.e., the Base Rent stated in
this Lease to be abated as an inducement to Lessee's entering into this Lease)
enjoyed as of that date by Lessee, and (ii) the amount of all commissions paid

IN THE EVENT THAT BOTH CONDITIONS REQUIRED IN PARAGRAPH 75 ARE MET WITHIN NINETY
DAYS OF LEASE EXECUTION, THE MONTHLY BASE RENT DUE FOR MONTH 36 IN THE AMOUNT OF

LESSOR SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PAY TO LESSEE IN CASH THE PRESENT VALUE OF THE
7
REMAINING AMOUNT OF ANY CREDITS DUE TENANT AGAINST ITS RENT. THE PRESENT VALUE

DISCOUNTED FOR TIME AT THE RATE OF 5% PER ANNUM. UPON RECEIPT OF SUCH MONEY,
LESSEE SHALL RECEIVE NO FURTHER CREDITS AGAINST ITS RENT UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH
AND SHALL, UPON THE REQUEST OF LESSOR, EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT, WHICH SHALL

items in (1) of paragraph 3.2.1 of the Lease or (2) the date that Lessee
occupies the suite.
64. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS REDUCING OPERATING EXPENSES. Notwithstanding any other
provision of paragraph 4.2.5 of the original Lease, the cost of any repair or

operating expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph 4.2,
the determination of a replacement of equipment or improvement's useful life and
if over five years or mandated by a government agency, its amortization period
shall be reasonably determined by Lessor.
65. DISPUTES AS TO PAYMENTS OF RENT. Lessee agrees to pay the Rent required
under this Lease within the time limits set forth in this Lease. If Lessee
receives from Lessor an invoice, statement, or notice, which is sent by Lessor
in good faith, and Lessee in good faith disputes whether all or part of such
Rent is due and owing, Lessee shall nevertheless pay to Lessor the amount of the
Rent indicated on the invoice or statement until Lessee receives a final
judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction (or when arbitration is
permitted, receives a final award from an arbitrator) relieving or mitigating
Lessee's obligation to pay such Rent. In such instance where Lessee shall,
concurrently with the payment of such rent, provide Lessor with a letter or
notice entitled "Payment Under Protest", specifying in detail why Lessee is not
required to pay all or part of such Rent. Lessee will be deemed to have waived
its right to contest any past payment of Rent unless it has filed a lawsuit
against Lessor (or when arbitration is permitted or required, filed for
Arbitration and has served Lessor with notice of such filing), and has served a
summons on Lessor, within one (1) year of such payment or the requirement
therefor. Until an Event of Default by Lessee occurs, Lessor shall continue to
provide the services and utilities required by this Lease. Inconvenience
resulting from noise or conditions related to the construction of tenant
improvements in other premises or renovation to the Building shall not be
grounds for rent abatement.
66. CONFLICT. In the event of a conflict between the Lease and the Addendum, the
Addendum shall control.
67. SUBORDINATION AND ESTOPPEL STATEMENT. Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding
any such Security Device shall have no duty, liability or obligation to perform
any of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease, but that in the event of
Lessor's default with respect to any such obligation, Lessee will give any
Lender whose name and address have been furnished Lessee in writing for such
purpose notice of Lessor's default and allow such Lender thirty (30) days
following receipt of such notice for the cure of said default before invoking
any remedies Lessee may have by reason thereof. If any Lender shall elect to
have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of is
Security Device and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lessee and
such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the
relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof. Subject to the
non-disturbance provisions in the Lease, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or
any other party who acquires Ownership of the Premises by reason of a
foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the event
8
of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable for any act or
omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to
acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which
Lessee might have against any prior lessor (iii) be bound by prepayment of more
than one (1) month's rent or (iv) be bound by any assignment surrender,
termination, cancellation, waiver, release amendment, or modification of the
Lease made without its express written consent, or be liable for the return of
any security deposit. Tenant shall provide an AIREA 1987 Standard Tenant
Statement in accordance with the terms of paragraph 16a and in addition to any
other document required in paragraph 30, a nondisturbance, attornment, and
subordination agreement in favor of lender in the form as typically required by
GE Capital or, upon Lessor's election, any other commercially reasonable form.
68. LESSOR'S PROPERTY. All alterations, improvements, fixtures and or equipment
which may be permanently installed and/or affixed in or about the Premises shall
be and become the property of Lessor at the termination or earlier expiration of
this Lease, regardless of who pays for such alterations, improvements, fixtures
and/or equipment and Lessee may not remove any such items during the Term,
expiration or other earlier termination of this Lease unless any such items are
specifically exempted from this provision elsewhere in this Lease or by written
amendment thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary
contained herein, all alterations, improvements, fixtures and or equipment
existing in or about the Premises prior to the date of this Lease or installed
and or affixed in or about the Premises at Lessor's expense or with any
improvement allowance funds provided to Lessee by Lessor shall become the
property of Lessor upon installation in or about the Premises.
69. RIGHT TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. Lessor shall have the right to improve other
tenant suites and normal repairs and restoration to the Property, and Lessee
acknowledges that the concomitant noise and inconvenience shall be temporarily
permitted in a manner as consistent with industry practice.
70. EFFECTIVENESS OF LEASE. The Lease shall not be effective until it is
mutually signed and delivered to both parties, and neither party should
detrimentally rely until such time. No amendment or modification shall be
effective until it is mutually signed and delivered to both parties, and neither
party should rely upon any amendment or modification until such time.
71. LIGHT BULBS. Lessor shall only be responsible for replacement of tubular
florescent bulbs.
72. EXCESS USAGE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the HVAC and the electrical systems for the
Building and the Premises were designed primarily for general office use and not
for the HVAC and electrical load requirements of "industrial" and/or
"entertainment" equipment including, without limitation, equipment used for or
in the process of producing and editing motion pictures and television/cable
programming. Accordingly, Lessee shall not without Lessor's prior consent, which
may be withheld in its sole discretion, use heat-generating equipment or other
lighting, machinery or equipment including, without limitation, computers,
telephone switches, photocopiers and electronic data processing machines which
may effect the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises
or the Building by the HVAC system (except that with respect to normal
fractional office equipment this restriction shall only be applicable to the
usage thereof beyond what is customary for general office purposes.) If such
temperatures is affected as a result of any such use or as a result of (i) the
occupancy of the Premises by more than one person per two hundred (200) square
feet of Rentable Area therein; or (ii) an average electrical demand of three (3)
▇▇▇▇▇ (connected load) per square foot of Usable Area in the Premises, or six
(6) ▇▇▇▇▇ per square foot per any one office (the "Standard Electrical Usage"),
Lessor shall have the right (in addition to and not in lieu of all its other
rights contained in the Lease arising from a Lessee default) to install any
machinery or equipment which Lessor reasonably deems necessary to restore
temperature balance, including, without limitation, reconfiguration of the
ductwork distribution, upgrading or adding additional VAV boxes, installation of
additional HVAC compressor units, and the cost thereof including the cost of
equipment

and installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance incurred
thereby, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon demand by Lessor. Lessor makes
no representation with respect to the adequacy of fitness of the HVAC equipment
in the building to maintain temperatures which may be required for, or because
of any equipment of Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for loss or
damage in connection therewith.
ELECTRICITY. In light of the acknowledgments contained above in this
Section 72 and as an inducement to Lessor to enter into this Lease with Lessee,
Lessee agrees that it shall not exceed the Standard Electrical Usage, without
the prior written consent of Lessor, which may be withheld in its sole
discretion. In furtherance thereof, Tenant shall not (A) install additional
electrical outlets in the Premises or (B) install or operate in the Premises any
electrically operated machinery, appliance or equipment (including without
limitations, computers, electronic data processing machines, word processors,
photocopiers, and punch card machines, and machines used in excess of 110 volts)
which would exceed the capacity of the Building Systems as determined by Lessor
in its sole discretion. As a condition of Lessor's approval of either (A) or (B)
above, Lessee shall pay directly (instead of as part of Operating Expenses and
in addition to Operating Expense payments pursuant to Section 5.1) for the cost
of electrical current (at rates no higher than that charged by the public
utility providing similar service) used by Lessee in excess of the Standard
Electrical Usage. The amount of such excess usage shall be determined by Lessor
in its sole discretion. As a further condition of Lessor's approval of either
(A) or (B) above or, in any event, if Lessor determines at any time during the
term that Lessee is using electric current in excess of the Standard Electrical
Usage, Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, install a submeter on
any floor or floors of the Premises to determine the actual amount of electric
current which Lessee is utilizing from time to time. If such submeter indicates
that Lessee's use of electrical current is in excess of the Standard Electrical
Usage, then Lessee shall pay Lessor the actual cost of equipment and
installation for such submeter and shall pay directly (instead of as part of
Operating Expenses) for the actual cost of electric current in excess of the
Standard Electrical Usage, plus any additional ongoing expense incurred in
keeping account of the electric current so consumed. Lessor shall have the right
to install such submeter at any time and from time to time during the Term or
any renewal thereof. In the alternative, at Lessor's sole discretion, Lessor may
determine the estimated cost of the electric current in excess of the Standard
Electrical Usage by obtaining such estimate from a licensed mechanical engineer
or a reportable energy consultant or by any other reasonable means established
by Lessor and Lessee shall pay the cost of the estimated amount of electric
current in excess of the Standard Electrical Usage plus the cost of obtaining
the estimated amount.
HVAC/AFTER HOURS USAGE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Lease, Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor is required to provide HVAC and/or
electrical current to the Premises during normal business hours, 8:00am to
6:00pm Monday through Friday and 9:00am to 1:00pm Saturday, which shall exclude
legal holidays. If Lessee requires HVAC and/or electrical current prior to or
after normal business hours, it shall pay for such usage at an hourly rate
established by an independent mechanical engineer. Lessee acknowledges that
Lessor may estimate the hours of such usage by (i) requiring the Lessee to
request Lessor's representative that the HVAC and/or electrical current be
turned on for specified hours, (ii) using monitoring devices at the Premises, or
(iii) by any other reasonable means established by Lessor.
73. BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. Lessee shall obtain and maintain loss of income and
extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee for direct or
indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by
prudent Lessees in the business of Lessee. Lessee shall name Lessor as an
additional insured pursuant to paragraph 8.5, and the provisions of the Waiver
of Subrogation pursuant to paragraph 8.6 shall apply.

74. "AS IS PROVISION". Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lessee
has inspected the Premises and is fully satisfied with the physical condition
thereof; (ii) Lessee is accepting possession of the Premises from Lessor in an
"as is" condition; (iii) Lessor is performing no work with respect to the
Premises; and (iv) any and all work required for Lessee to operate its business
in the Premises shall be performed by Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, in
accordance with plans and specifications approved in writing by Lessor.
75. PARTIAL RELEASE OF SECURITY DEPOSIT. IN THE EVENT LESSEE OBTAINS ADDITIONAL
EQUITY FINANCING AFTER THE LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE, AND PROVIDED THAT LESSEE IS
NOT IN DEFAULT OF THIS LEASE, LESSOR SHALL RELEASE $11,652 OF THE SECURITY
DEPOSIT HELD IF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IN LESSOR'S REASONABLE JUDGMENT
ARE MET:
(A) THE NEW EQUITY FINANCING EXCEEDS $25,000,000.
(B) THE RATIO OF NEW EQUITY FINANCING IS THREE TIMES GREATER THAN THE
CASH OPERATING LOSS FOR the PREVIOUS TWELVE MONTHS.
