notice, request, communication or demand by the
Tenant to the Landlord shall be addressed to the
Landlord at the building. Rejection or other refusal
to accept a notice, request, communication or demand
or the inability to deliver the same because of a
changed address of which no notice was given shall be
deemed to be receipt of the notice, request, communi-
cation or demand sent.
Landlord's 8. The Landlord's title is and always shall be
Title paramount to the title of the Tenant, and nothing
herein contained shall empower the Tenant to do any
act which shall encumber the title of the Landlord.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the
Landlord may enter upon the premises and may exercise
any or all of the foregoing rights hereby reserved
without being deemed guilty of an eviction or
disturbance of the Tenant's use or possession and

for, damage to person or property sustained by the
Tenant or any occupant of the building or premises

-12-
23
building manager of the building, and its agents,

tenants, occupants or servants in the building or of
any other person, and whether such damage be caused
or results from any thing or circumstance above
mentioned or referred to, or any other thing or
circum- stance whether of a like nature or of a
wholly different nature. If any such damage, whether
to the premises or to the building or any part

in writing its rights of subrogation against the
Tenant. All property belonging to the Tenant or any
occupant of the premises that is in the building or
the premises shall be there at the risk of the Tenant
or other occupant only, and the Landlord shall not be
liable for damages thereto or theft or
misappropriation thereof.

thereto and if Landlord has not expressly
-13-

retention of possession. The provisions of this
Section do not waive the Landlord's rights of reentry
or any other right hereunder.
Rules 12. The Tenant shall observe faithfully and comply
strictly with the rules and regulations promulgated
from time to time by the Landlord.
Subordination 13. This Lease shall be subordinate and subject at all

replacements thereof, and to all advances made, or
hereafter to be made, upon the security of any such
mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant shall execute such
further instruments subordinating this Lease to any
such mortgage or deed of trust as the Landlord shall
request, provided that the holder of such mortgage or
deed of trust executes an attornment and
nondisturbance agreement providing that Tenant's
rights under this Lease will not be disturbed by such
holder so long as Tenant performs its obligations
pursuant to this Lease.

enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall
exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law or
equity.
(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a default by the
Tenant and a breach of this Lease: (i) the Tenant
fails to make a payment of rent or any other payment
of money as and when the same shall become due and

(5) days after written notice from the Landlord, or
(ii) the Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform
or observe any of the other covenants, agreements,

Lease to be performed or observed by the Tenant and
such failure shall continue for

by the Landlord specifying the nature of such
failure, or if the failure so specified shall be of
such a nature that the same cannot be reasonably
cured or remedied within said twenty (20) day period,
the Tenant shall not in good faith have commenced to
cure or remedy such failure within such twenty (20)
day period and thereafter diligently proceed
therewith to completion, (unless the act or omission
of the Tenant or occurrence involves a hazardous or
emergency condition which shall be cured by the
Tenant forthwith upon the Landlord's demand), or
(iii) the leasehold interest or property of the
Tenant be levied upon under execution or be attached
by process of law, or (iv) the Tenant makes an

receiver be appointed for any property of the Tenant,
or at any time prior to or during the term of this
Lease any voluntary or involuntary petition or
similar pleading under any section or sections of any
bankruptcy law shall be filed by or against the
Tenant, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding in
any court or tribunal shall be instituted to declare
the Tenant insolvent or unable to pay the Tenant's
debts, and in the case of any involuntary petition or
proceeding, the petition or proceeding is not

term of this Lease shall not have commenced, the
Landlord may cancel and terminate this Lease by
notice to the Tenant, or (ii) if the term of this
Lease shall have commenced, the Landlord may serve
upon the Tenant a notice that this Lease and the term
hereof will terminate on a date to be specified
therein, and upon the date so specified by the
Landlord in such notice, this Lease and the then
unexpired term hereof shall terminate and come to an
end as fully and completely as if the date specified
in the Landlord's notice was the day herein
definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this
Lease and the term
-15-
26
hereof, and the Tenant shall then quit and surrender
the premises to the Landlord, but the Tenant shall
remain liable as hereinafter set forth; provided,
however, that if the Tenant shall fail to perform a
covenant of this Lease two (2) or more times in any
period of six (6) months then, notwithstanding that
each act or omission shall have been cured within the
period after the giving of notices as herein
provided, any further similar act or omission shall
be deemed to be deliberate and the Landlord
thereafter may serve the aforesaid notice of
termination without affording to the Tenant a further
opportunity to cure.
(c) Upon termination of this Lease by the Landlord
as hereinabove provided, or if the premises become
vacated or deserted for a period of more than ninety
(90) consecutive days, with or without terminating
the Lease, the Landlord may, without notice,
terminate all services and re-enter the premises
either by force or otherwise, and by summary
proceedings or otherwise, dispossess the Tenant and
the legal representatives of the Tenant or any other
occupant of the premises, and remove their effects
without being deemed in any manner guilty of
trespass, eviction, or forceable detainer, and hold
the premises as if this lease had not been made.
(d) In the event of default, re-entry, termination
and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or
otherwise, (i) the Landlord shall in addition to any
other rights granted herein or by law, be entitled to
recover all rent, additional rent and other sums due
and payable by the Tenant up to and including the
date of re-entry, dispossess and/or termination, and
(ii) with or without terminating the Lease, and
without releasing the Tenant, in whole or in part,
from the Tenant's obligations to pay the rent
hereunder for the full term or from any other of its
obligations under this Lease or for damages herein
described the Landlord may, at the Landlord's option,
occupy the premises and/or cause the premises to be
-16-
27
redecorated, altered, divided, consolidated with
other adjoining premises, or otherwise changed or
prepared for reletting, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to relet the premises or any part
thereof for the account of the Tenant for a term or
terms to expire prior to, at the same time as, or
subsequent to, the original expiration date of this
Lease, and receive the rent therefor, applying the
same first to the payment of such expenses as the
Landlord may have incurred in connection with the
recovery of possession, redecorating, altering,
dividing, consolidating with other adjoining
premises, or otherwise changing or preparing for
reletting, and the reletting, including brokerage and
reasonable attorneys' fees, and then to the payment
of damages in amounts equal to the rent hereunder and
to the cost and expense of performance of the other
covenants of the Tenant as herein provided. The
Tenant agrees, whether or not the Landlord has relet,
to pay to the Landlord damages equal to the rent and
other sums herein agreed to be paid by the Tenant,
less the net proceeds of the reletting, if any, as
ascertained from time to time, and the same shall be
payable by the Tenant on the several rent days above
specified. In reletting the premises as aforesaid,
the Landlord may grant rent concessions, and the
Tenant shall not be credited therewith. No such
reletting shall constitute a surrender and acceptance
of the premises or be deemed evidence thereof. If
the Landlord elects, pursuant hereto, actually to
occupy and use the premises (for a purpose other than
to achieve a reletting of the premises), or any part
thereof, during any part of the balance of the term,
as originally fixed or since extended, there shall be
allowed against the Tenant's obligation for rent, or
damages as herein defined, during the period of the
Landlord's occupancy, the reasonable value of such
occupancy, not to exceed in any event the rent herein
reserved and such occupancy shall not be construed as
a release of the Tenant's liability hereunder.
-17-
28
(e) Any and all property which may be removed from
the premises by the Landlord pursuant to the
authority of this Lease or of law, to which the
Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed
or stored by the Landlord at the risk, cost and
expense of the Tenant, and the Landlord shall in no
event be responsible for the value, preservation or
safekeeping thereof. The Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord upon demand any and all reasonable expenses
incurred in such removal and all storage charges
against such property so long as the same shall be in
the Landlord's possession or under the Landlord's
control. Any such property of the Tenant not removed
from the premises or taken from storage by the Tenant
within thirty (30) days after the end of the term,
however terminated, shall be presumed to have been
conveyed by the Tenant to the Landlord under this
Lease as a ▇▇▇▇ of sale without further payment or
credit by the Landlord to the Tenant.
(f) The Tenant shall pay upon demand all of the
Landlord's reasonable costs, charges and expenses,
including the reasonable fees of counsel, agents and
others retained by the Landlord, incurred in
enforcing or carrying out the Tenant's obligations
hereunder after default by the Tenant and any
applicable notice and cure periods having expired or
incurred by the Landlord in any litigation,
negotiations or transactions in which Tenant causes
the Landlord, without the Landlord's fault, to become
involved or concerned, plus interest from the date of
payment at the annual rate of one and one-half
percent above the prime rate, which amount shall be
deemed to be additional rent due and payable by the
Tenant at once without notice or demand.
(g) Tenant hereby waives all rights of redemption
granted by or under any present or future laws.
(h) Mention in the lease of any particular remedy
shall not preclude the Landlord from pursuing any
other remedy in law or in equity.
-18-
29
(i) The delivery of keys to any agent or employee of
the Landlord shall not be considered as a termination
of this Lease or a surrender of the premises.
(j) The Landlord and the Tenant hereby waive trial
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
brought by either of them against the other on any
matters arising out of or in any way connected with
this Lease, the relationship of the Landlord and the
Tenant, the Tenant's use or occupancy of the
premises, or any emergency statutory remedy. The
Tenant further agrees that it shall not interpose any
counterclaim or counterclaims in a summary proceeding
or in any action based on nonpayment of rent or any
other payment required of the Tenant hereunder,
unless the failure to assert such counterclaim would
foreclose the Tenant's right to commence a separate
action or proceeding.
Mechanics' 15. The Tenant shall not permit any mechanics'
Liens or materialmen's liens to be filed against the fee of
the real property on which the building is located
nor against the Tenant's leasehold interest in the
premises. The Landlord shall have the right at all
reasonable times to post and keep posted on the
premises, any notices which it deems necessary for
protection from such liens. If any such liens are so
filed, the Landlord, at its election, unless the
Tenant has theretofore bonded over such lien as
provided by applicable law or otherwise provides
security, as may be reasonably adequate, for the
protection of Landlord's interest, may pay and
satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid
by the Landlord, with interest from the date of
payment at the annual rate of one and one-half
percent above the prime rate, shall be deemed to be
additional rent due and payable by the Tenant at once
without notice or demand.
Eminent 16. (a) In the event that the whole or any part
Domain of the premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken
in any manner for any public or quasi-public use, at
the Landlord's option,
-19-
30
this Lease and the term hereby granted shall
forthwith cease and terminate on the date of the
taking of possession by the condemning authority and
the Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire
award without any payment to the Tenant, the Tenant
hereby assigning to the Landlord the Tenant's
interest in the award, if any, and the rent shall be
apportioned as of such date; provided, however, the
Tenant shall have the right to assert any claim that
it may have against the condemning authority for
compensation for any fixtures and property owned by
the Tenant and leasehold improvements installed by
the Tenant at Tenant's expense and for any relocation
expenses compensable by law and receive such award
therefor as may be allowed in the condemnation
proceedings if such award shall be stated separately
from the award made for the project or the part
thereof so taken.
(b) In the event that a part of the building shall
be so condemned or taken and, if, in the opinion of
the Landlord, the building should be restored in such
a way as to alter the premises materially, or the
building should be demolished, the Landlord may
terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby
granted without compensation to the Tenant by
notifying the Tenant of such termination within sixty
(60) days following the date of the taking of
possession by the condemning authority, and this
Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall
expire on the date specified in the notice of
termination not less than sixty (60) days after the
giving of such notice, as fully and completely as if
such date were the date hereinbefore set for the
expiration of the term of this Lease, and the rent
shall be apportioned as of such date.
Casualty 17. In the event of damage or destruction of the premises
during the term by fire, the elements, or casualty,
the Landlord shall forthwith repair the same,
provided such repairs can be made, in the Landlord's
opinion, within one hundred twenty (120)
-20-
31
days, but such damage or destruction shall not annul
or void this Lease, except that the Tenant shall be
entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while
such repairs are being made, such proportionate
reduction to be based upon the extent that the
premises, or part thereof, may be untenantable
(including as a result of lack of access to the
premises). As used herein, the term "untenantable"
shall include a situation in which the premises are
not reasonably accessible for the conduct of the
Tenant's business. If, in the Landlord's reasonable
opinion, such repairs cannot be made within one
hundred twenty (120) days the Landlord may, at its
option to be exercised within thirty (30) days from
the date of such damage or destruction make the same
as soon as possible thereafter, and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and the rent shall
be proportionately reduced as aforesaid. In the
event that the Landlord does not so elect to make
such repairs which cannot be made within said one
hundred twenty (120) day period, this Lease may be
terminated at the option of either party. In the
event that the building be damaged, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, but the Landlord
shall forthwith repair such damage; except that if
the building is severely damaged or destroyed, as
determined by the Landlord, the Landlord, at its
option to be exercised within thirty (30) days from
the date of such damage or destruction, may terminate
this Lease. The Tenant shall be entitled to a
proportionate reduction of rent only if the premises
are untenantable as aforesaid and no such rent
reduction shall be allowed by reason of
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to the Tenant's
business because of such damage or destruction, or
the necessity of repairing any portion of the
building, or making of such repairs, and the Landlord
shall not be liable to the Tenant because of such
inconvenience, annoyance or injury; provided, that if
the Tenant is unable to conduct its business in the
premises, then the rent and additional rent shall be
abated until the earlier occur of (i) the premises
-21-
32
are repaired, or (ii) the Tenant is able to resume
conducting business in the premises. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent
insurance proceeds are not available, Landlord shall
not be obligated to repair the premises or any
portion of the building. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Lease, if damage or destruction
renders the premises untenantable, so as to prevent
Tenant from conducting his business therefrom and is
not repaired, or repairable, within 180 days from the
date of the casualty, then Tenant shall have the
right, exercisable by notice to Landlord within 210
days from the date of such casualty (but not after
the premises have been made tenantable) to terminate
this Lease.
Waiver of 18. Each party hereto hereby waives all claims
Subrogation for recovery from the other party for any loss or
damage to any of its property insured under valid and
collectible insurance policies. Such insurance
policies shall be endorsed to provide coverage for
said waivers of subrogation.
Operating 19. (a) Except as may otherwise be specifically
Expenses set forth herein and subject to the provisions of
Section 20, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay to
Landlord, any amounts with respect to Operating
Expenses.

connection with property used in the operation or
management of the building, utilities used in the
maintenance and operation of the building,
expenses of a management office in the building
for Landlord's building manager and the net cost
of operating the amenities of the building.
-22-
33
Real Estate 20. (a) In addition to the annual rent
Taxes described in Section 1, Tenant hereby agrees to pay
to Landlord, as additional rent, an amount for each
Comparison Year equal to the Tenant's "Pro Rata
Share" of any increase for such Comparison Year in
the amount of Real Estate Taxes over the Base Amount
thereof.
(b) For the purposes of this Section 20:
(1) The term "Base Amount" means the Real Estate
Taxes for the 1993 calendar year. The Base
Amount shall be adjusted proportionately for
Comparison Years which are not a full twelve (12)
months.
(2) The term "Real Estate Taxes" means all taxes
and assessments, special or otherwise, levied
upon or with respect to the building and the land
upon which it is located (with the land
assessment being allocated based upon the
relative value of the project improvements)
imposed by Federal, State or local governments,
(but shall not include income, franchise, capital
stock, estate or inheritance taxes, except as
provided below) and use or occupancy taxes, and
excise and other taxes (other than general income
taxes) on rent and other income from the
building, (computed, in case of a graduated tax,
as if the Landlord's income from the building
were the Landlord's sole taxable income), and any
substitutions for Real Estate Taxes. In the case
of special taxes and assessments payable in
installments only the amount of each installment
due and payable during a fiscal year shall be
included in Real Estate Taxes for that year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Real
Estate Taxes" shall not include any income,
franchise, transfer, inheritance, capital stock
or other tax unless, due to a future change in
the method of taxation, such a tax shall be
levied against the Landlord in substitution for
or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise
constitute "Real Estate
-23-
34
Taxes", in which event such income, franchise,
transfer, inheritance, capital stock or other tax
shall be deemed to be included in the term "Real
Estate Taxes" to the extent and only to that
extent that such tax is ascertained to be in lieu
of or a substitute for what were previously "Real
Estate Taxes"; provided, that the amount of such
income, franchise, transfer, inheritance, capital
stock or other tax deemed to be included in the
term "Real Estate Taxes" shall be determined as
if the project was the only asset of the Landlord
and as if the rent paid hereunder were the only
income of the Landlord.
(3) The term "Pro Rata Share" in reference to
Real Estate Taxes means the ratio which the
rentable square footage of the premises bears to
the rentable square footage of the building.
(4) The term "Comparison Year" in reference to
Real Estate Taxes means each calendar year or
portion thereof during the term, commencing with
the 1994 calendar year.
(c) If by reason of complaint against valuation,
protest of tax rates, or otherwise, Real Estate Taxes
for any year are affected in such a way as would
result in a rent increase or decrease hereunder, the
Real Estate Taxes for the affected year shall be
recalculated accordingly and the resulting increase
or decrease in rent, less the reasonable expenses
incurred in effecting any such reduction, shall be
paid simultaneously with or applied as a credit
against the rent next becoming due.
(d) Statements of the amount of the Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of increase in Real Estate Taxes shall be
rendered by the Landlord to the Tenant as soon as
reasonably feasible for each Comparison Year. On the
first day for the payment of monthly rent under this
Lease following the furnishing of a statement for the
current Comparison Year
-24-
35
(1) the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a sum equal
to one twelfth of the increase in Tenant's estimated
Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes multiplied by the
number of months elapsed during the Comparison Year
and, in advance, one-twelfth of such increase in the
estimated share in respect to the then current month;
and (2) thereafter, until the next Comparison Year
statement shall be rendered, the monthly installments
of rent payable under this Lease shall include an
amount equal to one-twelfth of the Tenant's estimated
share of the increase in Real Estate Taxes based on
the most recent statement.
(e) After Landlord's receipt of tax bills for each
tax year, or such reasonable (in Landlord's
determination) time thereafter, Landlord will certify
to Tenant the amount of the increase in Real Estate
Taxes for the tax year in question and the amount of
Tenant's Pro Rata Share thereof. Tenant's Pro Rata
Share of such increase in Real Estate Taxes which are
paid or payable for each tax year shall be adjusted
between Landlord and Tenant, both Landlord and Tenant
hereby agreeing that Tenant shall pay Landlord or
Landlord shall credit to Tenant's account (or, if
such adjustment is at the end of the Lease term, pay
Tenant), as the case may be, within thirty (30) days
of the aforesaid certification to Tenant, such amount
necessary to effect such adjustment. The failure of
Landlord to provide such certification within the
time prescribed above shall not relieve Tenant of its
obligations generally or for the specific tax year in
which any such failure occurs.
Condition 21. The Tenant's taking possession shall be
of Premises conclusive evidence as against the Tenant that the
premises were in good order and satisfactory
condition when the Tenant took possession. At the
termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or
otherwise, the Tenant shall return the premises in as
good condition as when the Tenant took possession,
ordinary wear and loss by fire or other casualty
insured under valid and
-25-
36
collectible fire and standard extended coverage
insurance policies excepted, failing which the
Landlord may restore the premises to such condition
and the Tenant shall pay the cost thereof and this
obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

of any person or persons, firm or firms, corporation
or corporations, arising from the Tenant's use of the
premises or the conduct of its business or from any
activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered

the performance or observance of any covenant or
agreement on the Tenant's part to be performed or
observed pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or
arising from any act or negligence of the Tenant, or
any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees
or licensees, and from and against all costs, counsel
fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection
with any such claim or action or proceeding brought
thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be
brought against the Landlord, the Landlord's building
manager or Landlord's other employees and agents by
reason of any such claim, the Tenant upon notice from
the Landlord covenants to resist or defend at the
Tenant's expense such action or proceeding by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. The
liability of the Tenant to indemnify the Landlord, as
hereinabove set forth, shall not extend to any matter
against which the Landlord shall be effectively
protected by insurance, provided, however, that if
any such liability shall exceed the amount of the
-26-
37
effective and collectible insurance in question, the
said liability of the Tenant shall apply to such
excess. The indemnity obligations of the Tenant set
forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.

deliver possession of the premises at the time of the
commencement of the term of this Lease, neither the
Landlord nor its contractors, subcontractors,
employees, agents or building manager shall be liable
for any damage caused thereby, nor shall this Lease
thereby become void or voidable, nor shall the term
herein specified be in any way extended, but in such
event the term shall begin when the Landlord does
deliver possession of the premises and the Tenant
shall not be liable for any rent until the time that
the Landlord delivers such possession.

through or under Landlord, subject to the provisions
of this Lease.
Miscellaneous 25. (a) No receipt of money by the Landlord from the
Tenant after the termination of this Lease or after
the service of any notice or after the commencement
of any suit, or after final judgment for possession
of the premises shall renew, reinstate, continue or
extend the term of this Lease or affect any such
notice, demand or suit.
(b) No waiver of any default of the Tenant hereunder
shall be implied from any omission by the Landlord to
take any action on account of such default if such
default persists or be repeated, and no express
waiver shall affect any default other than the
default specified in a written waiver and then only
for the time and to the
-27-
38
extent therein stated. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not
affect or impair any other provision and the invalid
or unenforceable provision shall be deemed restated
to comply with local law.
