2. Premises.




2.1 Letting. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the
Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this
Lease, or that may have been used in calculating Rent, is an approximation which the Parties agree
is reasonable and any payments based thereon are not subject to revision whether or not the actual
size is more or less. NOTE: Lessee is advised to verify the actual size prior to executing this
Lease.



2.2 Condition. Lessor shall deliver that portion of the Premises contained within the
Building (“Unit”) to Lessee broom clean and free of debris on the Commencement Date or the Early
Possession Date, whichever first occurs
(“Start Date”), and, so long as the required service
contracts described in Paragraph 7.1 (b) below are obtained by Lessee and in effect within thirty
days following the Start Date, warrants that the existing electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler,
lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (“HVAC”), loading doors, sump pumps,
if any, and all other such elements in the Unit, other than those constructed by Lessee, shall be
in good operating condition on said date, that the structural elements of the roof, bearing walls
and foundation of the Unit shall be free of material defects, and that the Unit does not contain
hazardous levels of any mold or fungi defined as toxic under applicable state or federal law. If a
non-compliance with such warranty exists as of the Start Date, or if one of such systems or
elements should malfunction or fail within the appropriate warranty period, Lessor shall, as
Lessor’s sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and
extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, rectify same at Lessor’s expense. The
warranty periods shall be as follows: (i) 6 months as to the HVAC systems, and (ii) 30 days as to
the remaining systems and other elements of the Unit. If Lessee does not give Lessor the required
notice within the appropriate warranty period, correction of any such non-compliance, malfunction
or failure shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee’s sole cost and expense (except for the
repairs to the fire sprinkler systems, roof, foundations, and/or bearing walls — see Paragraph 7).



2.3 Compliance. Lessor warrants that to the best of its knowledge the improvements on the
Premises and the Common Areas comply with the building codes that were in effect at the time that
each such improvement, or portion thereof, was constructed, and also with all applicable laws,
covenants or restrictions of record, regulations, and ordinances in
effect on the Start Date (“Applicable Requirements”). Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the
Premises, modifications which may be required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar
laws as a result of Lessee’s use (see Paragraph 49), or to any Alterations or Utility Installations
(as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. NOTE: Lessee is responsible for
determining whether or not the Applicable Requirements, and especially the zoning are appropriate
for Lessee’s intended use, and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be
allowed. If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise
provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the
nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor’s expense. If Lessee does not
give Lessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within 6 months following the
Start Date, correction of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee’s sole
cost and expense. If the Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during the
term of this Lease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Unit, Premises and/or
Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other physical
modification of the Unit, Premises and/or Building (“Capital
Expenditure”), Lessor and Lessee shall
allocate the cost of such work as follows:



(a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital Expenditures are required as a result
of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in
general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this Lease and the cost thereof exceeds
6 months’ Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in
writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessee’s termination notice that Lessor has elected to
pay the difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to 6 months’ Base Rent. If
Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires
such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor written notice specifying a termination date at
least 90 days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than the
last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital
Expenditure.



(b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee
shall allocate the obligation to pay for the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the
Premises pursuant to the formula set out in Paragraph 7.1(d); provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably
determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall have the
option to terminate this Lease upon 90 days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies
Lessor, in writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessor’s termination notice that Lessee will
pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate, and fails to tender its
share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with
Interest, from Rent until Lessor’s share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to
finance Lessor’s share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this
Lease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall have the right
to terminate this Lease upon 30 days written notice to Lessor.



(c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditures are intended to
apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital
Expenditures are instead triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use,
change in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event, Lessee shall
either: (i) immediately cease such changed use or intensity of use and/or take such other steps as
may be necessary to eliminate the requirement for such Capital Expenditure, or (ii) complete such
Capital Expenditure at its own expense. Lessee shall not have any right to terminate this Lease.



2.4 Acknowledgements. Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by Lessor and/or
Brokers to
satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the
electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with
Applicable Requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act), and their suitability for
Lessee’s intended use, (b) Lessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference
to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the
Premises, and (c) neither Lessor, Lessor’s agents, nor Brokers have made any oral or written
representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this Lease.
In addition, Lessor acknowledges that: (i) Brokers have made no representations, promises or
warranties concerning Lessee’s ability to honor the Lease or
suitability to occupy the Premises,
and (ii) it is Lessor’s sole responsibility to investigate the financial capability and/or
suitability of all proposed tenants.



2.5 Lessee as Prior Owner/Occupant. The warranties made by Lessor in Paragraph 2 shall be of
no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start Date Lessee was the owner or occupant of the
Premises. In such event, Lessee shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work.

2.6 Vehicle Parking. Lessee shall be entitled to use the number of Parking Spaces specified
in Paragraph 1.2(b) on those portions of
the Common Areas designated from time to time by Lessor for parking. Lessee shall not use more
parking spaces than said number. Said parking spaces shall be used for parking by vehicles no
larger than full-size passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks, herein called “Permitted Size
Vehicles.” Lessor may regulate the loading and unloading of vehicles by adopting Rules and
Regulations as provided in Paragraph 2.9. No vehicles other than Permitted Size Vehicles may be
parked in the Common Area without the prior written permission of Lessor. In addition:



(a) Lessee
shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Lessee or
Lessee’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, contractors or invitees to be loaded,
unloaded, or parked in areas other than those designated by Lessor for such activities.



(b) Lessee shall not service or store any vehicles in the Common Areas.



(c) If
Lessee permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described in
this Paragraph 2.6, then Lessor shall have the right, without
notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may
have, to remove or tow away the
vehicle involved and charge the cost to Lessee, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand
by Lessor.



2.7 Common Areas — Definition. The term “Common Areas” is defined as all areas and facilities
outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary line of the Project and interior utility
raceways and installations within the Unit that are provided and designated by the Lessor from time
to time for the general non-exclusive use of Lessor, Lessee and other tenants of the Project and
their respective employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, contractors and invitees, including
parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, walkways, driveways and
landscaped areas.



2.8 Common Areas — Lessee’s Rights. Lessor grants to Lessee, for the benefit of Lessee and
its employees, suppliers, shippers, contractors, customers and invitees, during the term of this
Lease, the non-exclusive right to use, in common with others entitled to such use, the Common Areas
as they exist from time to time, subject to any rights, powers, and privileges reserved by Lessor
under the terms hereof or under the terms of any rules and regulations or restrictions governing
the use of the Project. Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common
Areas be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the
Common Areas. Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written consent of Lessor or
Lessor’s designated agent, which consent may be revoked at any time. In the event that any
unauthorized storage shall occur, then Lessor shall have the right, without notice, in addition to
such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the
property and charge the cost to
Lessee, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Lessor.



2.9 Common Areas — Rules and Regulations. Lessor or such other
person(s) as Lessor may appoint
shall have the exclusive control and management of the Common Areas and shall have the right, from
time to time, to establish, modify, amend and enforce reasonable rules and regulations (“Rules and
Regulations”) for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and
unloading of vehicles and the preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other
occupants or tenants of the Building and the Project and their invitees. Lessee agrees to abide by
and conform to all such Rules and Regulations, and shall use its best efforts to cause its
employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, contractors and invitees to so abide and conform. Lessor
shall not be responsible to Lessee for the non-compliance with said Rules and Regulations by other
tenants of the Project.



2.10 Common Areas — Changes. Lessor shall have the right, in Lessor’s sole discretion, from
time to time:

3. Term.




3.1 Term. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of this Lease are as
specified in Paragraph 1.3.



3.2
Early Possession. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early
possession. All other terms of this Lease (including but not limited to the obligations to pay
Lessee’s Share of Common Area Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums and to
maintain the Premises) shall be in effect during such period. Any such early possession shall not
affect the Expiration Date.



3.3 Delay In Possession. Lessor agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts,
Lessor is unable to deliver possession as agreed, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability
therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or change the Expiration Date.
Lessee shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until Lessor
delivers possession of the Premises and any period of rent abatement that Lessee would otherwise
have enjoyed shall run from the date of the delivery of possession and continue for a period equal
to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or
omissions of Lessee. If possession is not delivered within 60 days after the Commencement Date,
Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing within 10 days after the end of such 60 day period,
cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder.
If such written notice is not received by Lessor within said 10 day period, Lessee’s right to
cancel shall terminate. Except as otherwise provided, if possession is not tendered to Lessee by
the Start Date and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, any period of rent abatement
that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and
continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but
minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee. If possession of the Premises
is not delivered within 4 months after the Commencement Date, this Lease shall terminate unless
other agreements are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing.



3.4 Lessee Compliance. Lessor shall not be required to tender possession of the Premises to
Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5).
Pending delivery of such
evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations under this Lease from and
after the Start Date, including the payment of Rent, notwithstanding Lessor’s election to withhold
possession pending receipt of such evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee is required to
perform any other conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the Start Date shall occur
but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are satisfied.



4. Rent.




4.1 Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this
Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are
deemed to be rent (“Rent”).

Paragraph 51 1.6) of all Common Area Operating Expenses, as hereinafter defined, during each
calendar year of the-term of this Lease, in accordance with the following provisions:



(a) “Common
Area Operating Expenses” are defined, for purposes of this
Lease, as all costs
incurred by Lessor relating to the
ownership and operation of the Project, including, but not limited to, the following:



(i) The
operation, repair and maintenance, in neat, clean, good order and condition, but not
the replacement (see
subparagraph (e)), of the following:



(aa) The
Common Areas and Common Area improvements, including parking areas, loading
and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, parkways, walkways, driveways, landscaped areas,
bumpers, irrigation systems, Common Area lighting facilities, fences and gates, elevators, roofs,
and roof drainage systems.

(viii) Auditors’,
accountants’ and attorneys’ fees and costs related to the operation,
maintenance, repair and replacement of the Project.



(ix) The
cost of any capital improvement to the Building or the Project not covered under the
provisions of Paragraph 2.3 provided; however, that Lessor shall
allocate the cost of any
such capital improvement over 12 year period and Lessee shall not be required to pay more
than Lessee’s Share of 1/144th of the cost of such capital improvement in any given month.



(x) Any other services to be provided by Lessor that are stated elsewhere in this Lease to be a
Common Area Operating Expense.



(b) Any
Common Area Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes that are specifically attributable
to the Unit, the Building or to any other building in the Project or to the operation, repair and
maintenance thereof, shall be allocated entirely to such Unit, Building, or other building. However,
any Common Area Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes that are not specifically attributable
to the Building or to any other building or to the operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall
be equitably allocated by Lessor to all buildings in the Project.



(c) The
inclusion of the improvements, facilities and  services set forth in
Subparagraph 4.2(a)
shall not be deemed to impose an obligation upon Lessor to either
have said improvements or
facilities or to provide these services unless the Project already has the same, Lessor already
provides the services, or Lessor has agreed elsewhere in this Lease to provide the same or some of
them.



(d) Lessee’s
Share of Common Area Operating Expenses is payable monthly on the same day as the
Base Rentis due hereunder. The amount of such payments shall be based
on Lessor’s estimate of the
annual Common Area Operating Expenses. Within 60 days after written request (but not more than
once each year) Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a reasonably detailed statement showing
Lessee’s Share of the actual Common Area Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If
Lessee’s payments during each year exceed Lessee’s Share, Lessor shall credit the amount of such
over payment against Lessee’s future payments. If Lessee’s payments during such year were
less than Lessee’s Share, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within
10 days after delivery by Lessor-to Lessee of the statement.



(e) Except as provided in paragraph 4.2(a)(viii), Common Area Operating Expenses shall not include
the cost of replacing equipment or capital components such as the roof, foundations, exterior walls
or Common Area capital improvements, such as the parking lot paving, elevators, fences that have a
useful life for accounting purposes of 5 years or more.



(f) Common
Area Operating Expenses shall not include any expenses paid by any tenant directly to
third parties, or as to which Lessor is otherwise reimbursed by any third party, other tenant, or
insurance proceeds.



4.3 Payment. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by Lessor in lawful money
of the United States, without offset or deduction (except as specifically permitted in this
Lease), on or before the day on which it is due. All monetary amounts shall be rounded to
the nearest whole dollar. In the event that any statement or invoice prepared by Lessor is
inaccurate such inaccuracy shall not constitute a waiver and Lessee shall be obligated to
pay the amount set forth in this Lease. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is
for less than one full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days
of said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to
such other persons or place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance
of a payment which is less than the amount then due shall not be a waiver of Lessor’s rights
to the balance of such Rent, regardless of Lessor’s endorsement of any check so stating. In
the event that any check, draft, or other instrument of payment given by Lessee to Lessor is
dishonored for any reason, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the sum of $25 in addition to any
Late Charge and Lessor, at its option, may require all future Rent be paid by cashier’s
check. Payments will be applied first to accrued late charges and attorney’s fees, second to
accrued interest, then to Base Rent and Common Area Operating Expenses, and any remaining
amount to any other outstanding charges or costs.



5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the Security Deposit as
security for Lessee’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails to
pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any
portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or
compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by
reason thereof, If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Lessee
shall within 10 days after written request there for deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to
restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this
Lease. If the Base Rent increases
during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit additional
monies with Lessor so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the
same proportion to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base
Rent. Should the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Lessee
or to accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the Security
Deposit to the extent necessary, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear
and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs
during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor’s
reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies with Lessor
as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based
on such change in financial condition. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit
separate from its general accounts. Within 14 days after the
expiration or termination of this Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security Deposit only to
unpaid Rent, and otherwise within 30 days after the Premises have been vacated pursuant to
Paragraph 7.4(c) below. Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit not used or
applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to
bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.



6. Use.



6.1 Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Agreed Use, or any other
legal use which is reasonably comparable
thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a
manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs occupants of or
causes damage to neighboring premises or properties. Other than guide, signal and seeing eye
dogs, Lessee shall not keep or allow in the Premises any pets, animals, birds, fish, or reptiles.
Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any
written request for a modification of the Agreed Use, so long as the same will not impair the
structural integrity of the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, and/or is not
significantly more burdensome to the Project. If Lessor elects to withhold consent, Lessor shall
within 7 days after such request give written notification of same, which notice shall include an
explanation of Lessor’s objections to the change in the Agreed Use.

(a) Reportable Uses Require Consent. The term “Hazardous Substance” as used in this Lease
shall mean any product, substance, or waste whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal,
transportation, or release, either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be
on the Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the
environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental authority, or (iii) a
basis for potential liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any
applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited
to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which constitutes a
Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of Lessor and
timely compliance (at Lessee’s expense) with all Applicable Requirements. “Reportable Use” shall
mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation,
possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a
permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required
to be filed with, any governmental authority, and/or (iii) the presence at the Premises of a
Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Requirements requires that a notice be
given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used in
the normal course of the Agreed Use, ordinary office supplies (copier toner, liquid paper, glue,
etc.) and common household cleaning materials, so long as such use is in compliance with all
Applicable Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the Premises or neighboring
property to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such
additional assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or liability, including,
but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or termination) of
protective modifications (such as concrete encasements) and/or increasing the Security Deposit.



(b) Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a
Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, other than as
previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to
Lessor, and provide Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other documentation which it
has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Substance.



(c) Lessee Remediation. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be
spilled or released in, on, under, or about the Premises (including through the plumbing or
sanitary sewer system) and shall promptly, at Lessee’s expense, comply with all Applicable
Requirements and take all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably recommended, whether or
not formally ordered or required, for the cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance,
security and/or monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or materially
contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the
Premises during the term of this Lease, by or for Lessee, or any third party.



(d) Lessee Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor, its agents,
employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless from and against any and all loss of rents
and/or damages, liabilities, judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys’ and
consultants’ fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by
or for Lessee, or any third party (provided, however, that Lessee shall have no liability under
this Lease with respect to underground migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from
areas outside of the Project not caused or contributed to by Lessee). Lessee’s obligations shall
include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or
the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation, removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release
Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, unless
specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.



(e) Lessor Indemnification. Lessor and its successors and assigns shall indemnify, defend,
reimburse and hold Lessee, its employees and lenders, harmless from and against any and all
environmental damages, including the cost of remediation, which suffered as a direct result of
Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to Lessee taking possession or which are caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents or employees. Lessor’s obligations, as
and when required by the Applicable Requirements, shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of
investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Lease.



(f) Investigations and Remediations. Lessor shall retain the responsibility and pay for any
investigations or remediation measures required by governmental entities having jurisdiction with
respect to the existence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to Lessee taking possession,
unless such remediation measure is required as a result of Lessee’s use (including “Alterations”,
as defined in paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the Premises, in which event Lessee shall be responsible
for such payment. Lessee shall cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor,
including allowing Lessor and Lessor’s agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at
reasonable times in order to carry out Lessor’s investigative and remedial responsibilities.



(g) Lessor Termination Option. If a Hazardous Substance Condition (see Paragraph 9.1(e))
occurs during the term of this Lease, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case
Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by the Applicable Requirements
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor’s rights under
Paragraph 6.2(d) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, either (i) investigate and
remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor’s expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the
estimated cost to remediate such condition exceeds 12 times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee, within 30 days after receipt by Lessor of
knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition, of Lessor’s desire to terminate
this Lease as of the date 60 days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects
to give a termination notice, Lessee may, Within 10 days thereafter, give written notice to Lessor
of Lessee’s commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the remediation of such Hazardous
Substance Condition exceeds an amount equal to 12 times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance
thereof within 30 days following such commitment. In such event, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such remediation as soon as reasonably possible
after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the
required funds or assurance thereof within the time provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date specified in Lessor’s notice of termination.



6.3 Lessee’s Compliance with Applicable Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in
this Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s
sole expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, materially comply with all Applicable
Requirements, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and
the recommendations of Lessor’s engineers and/or consultants which relate in any manner to such
Requirements, without regard to whether said Requirements are now in effect or become effective
after the Start Date. Lessee shall, within 10 days after receipt of Lessor’s written request,
provide Lessor with copies of all permits and other documents, and other information evidencing
Lessee’s compliance with any Applicable Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately
upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any threatened
or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving the
failure of Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements. Likewise, Lessee
shall immediately give written notice to Lessor of: (i) any water damage to the
Premises and any suspected seepage, pooling, dampness or other
condition conducive to the
production of mold; or (ii) any mustiness or other odors that might indicate the presence of mold
in the Premises.

6.4 Inspection; Compliance. Lessor and Lessor’s “Lender” (as defined in Paragraph 30) and
consultants shall have the right to enter into Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times after reasonable notice, for the purpose of
inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this
Lease. The cost of any such inspections shall be paid by Lessor, unless a violation of
Applicable Requirements, or a Hazardous Substance condition (see Paragraph 9.1) is found to
exist or be imminent, or the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority.
In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor for the cost of such inspection, so
long as such inspection is reasonably related to the violation or contamination. In addition,
Lessee shall provide copies of all relevant material safety data sheets (MSDS) to Lessor
within 10 days of the receipt of written request therefor.



7. Maintenance; Repairs; Utility Installations; Trade Fixtures and Alterations.



7.1 Lessee’s Obligations.



(a) In General. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 6.3
(Lessee’s Compliance with Applicable Requirements), 7.2 (Lessor’s Obligations), 9 (Damage or
Destruction), and 14 (Condemnation), Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense, keep the Premises,
Utility Installations (intended for Lessee’s exclusive use, no matter where located), and
Alterations in good order, condition and repair (whether or not the portion of the Premises
requiring repairs, or the means of repairing the same, are reasonably or readily accessible to
Lessee, and whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee’s use, any prior
use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises), including, but not limited to, all
equipment or facilities, such as plumbing, HVAC equipment, electrical, lighting facilities,
boilers, pressure vessels, fixtures, interior walls, interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings,
floors, windows, doors, plate glass, and skylights but excluding any items which are the
responsibility of Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.2. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good order,
condition and repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices, specifically including
the procurement and maintenance of the service contracts required by Paragraph 7.1(b) below.
Lessee’s obligations shall include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep
the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of
repair.



(b) Service Contracts. Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense, procure and maintain
contracts, with copies to Lessor, in customary form and substance for, and with contractors
specializing and experienced in the maintenance of the following equipment and improvements, if
any, if and when installed on the Premises: (i) HVAC equipment, (ii) boiler and pressure vessels,
(iii) clarifiers, and (iv) any other equipment, if reasonably required by Lessor. However, Lessor
reserves the right, upon notice to Lessee, to procure and maintain any or all of such service
contracts, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, upon demand, for the cost thereof.



(c) Failure to Perform. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee’s obligations under this Paragraph
7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after 10 days’ prior written notice to Lessee (except in
the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on
Lessee’s behalf, and put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, and Lessee shall
promptly pay to Lessor a sum equal to 115% of the cost thereof.



(d) Replacement. Subject to Lessee’s indemnification of Lessor as set forth in Paragraph 8.7
below, and without relieving Lessee of liability resulting from Lessee’s failure to exercise and
perform good maintenance practices, if an item described in Paragraph 7.1(b) cannot be repaired
other than at a cost which is in excess of 50% of the cost of replacing such item, then such item
shall be replaced by Lessor, and the cost thereof shall be prorated between the Parties and Lessee
shall only be obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the term of this Lease, on the
date on which Base Rent is due, an amount equal to the product of multiplying the cost of such
replacement by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is 144 (i.e.
1/144th of the cost per month). Lessee shall pay interest on the unamortized balance but may
prepay its obligation at any time.



7.2 Lessor’s Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition), 2.3
(Compliance), 4,2 (Common Area Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessee’s Obligations), 9 (Damage
or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), Lessor, subject to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4.2,
shall keep in good order, condition and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural
condition of interior bearing walls, exterior roof, fire sprinkler system. Common Area fire alarm
and/or smoke detection systems, fire hydrants, parking lots, walkways, parkways, driveways,
landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems serving the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as
well as providing the services for which there is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to
Paragraph 4.2. Lessor shall not be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surfaces of exterior
walls nor shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or replace windows, doors or plate glass of
the Premises. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of any statute now or hereafter in effect to
the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of this Lease.



7.3 Utility Installations; Trade Fixtures; Alterations.



(a) Definitions. The term “Utility Installations” refers to all floor and window coverings,
air and/or vacuum lines, power panels, electrical distribution, security and fire protection
systems, communication cabling, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and fencing in or on
the Premises. The term “Trade Fixtures” shall mean Lessee’s machinery and equipment that can be
removed without doing material damage to the Premises. The term “Alterations” shall mean any
modification of the improvements, other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures, whether by
addition or deletion. “Lessee Owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations” are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned by Lessor pursuant
to Paragraph 7.4(a).



(b) Consent. Lessee shall not make any Alterations or Utility Installations to the Premises
without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make non-structural Utility
Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof) without such consent but upon
notice to Lessor, as long as they are not visible from the outside, do not involve puncturing,
relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, will not affect the electrical, plumbing,
HVAC, and/or life safety systems, and the cumulative cost thereof during this Lease as extended
does not exceed a sum equal to 3 month’s Base Rent in the aggregate or a sum equal to one month’s
Base Rent in any one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not make or permit any roof
penetrations and/or install anything on the roof without the prior written approval of Lessor.
Lessor may, as a precondition to granting such approval, require Lessee to utilize a contractor
chosen and/or approved by Lessor. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee shall
desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written
form with detailed plans. Consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee’s: (i) acquiring all
applicable governmental permits, (ii) furnishing Lessor with
copies of both the permits and the
plans and specifications prior to commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with all
conditions of said permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and expeditious manner.
Any Alterations or Utility Installations shall be performed in a workmanlike manner with good and
sufficient materials.
Lessee shall promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications.
For work which costs an amount in excess of one month’s Base Rent, Lessor may condition its consent
upon Lessee providing a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost
of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee’s posting an additional Security
Deposit with Lessor.



(c) Liens;
Bonds. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or
alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or
may be secured by any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or any interest
therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than 10 days notice prior to the commencement of any
work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility. If Lessee shall contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then
Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the
same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the
enforcement thereof. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish a
surety bond in an amount equal
to 150% of the
amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such action, Lessee shall pay Lessor’s attorneys’
fees and costs.

7.4 Ownership; Removal; Surrender; and Restoration.



(a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor’s right to require removal or elect ownership as hereinafter
provided, all Alterations and Utility Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee,
but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time, elect in writing to be the owner of
all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless
otherwise instructed per paragraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor
and be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises.



(b) Removal. By delivery to Lessee of written notice from Lessor not earlier than 90 and not
later than 30 days prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Lessor may require that any or all
Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the expiration or termination of
this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned
Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required consent.



(c) Surrender; Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the Expiration Date or any
earlier termination date, with all of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and
free of debris, and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have
been prevented by good maintenance practice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Lease is for
12 months or less, then Lessee shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as delivered to
Lessee on the Start Date with NO allowance for ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall repair any
damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade Fixtures, Lessee owned
Alterations and/or Utility Installations, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any
storage tank installed by or for Lessee. Lessee shall also completely remove from the Premises any
and all Hazardous Substances brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (except
Hazardous Substances which were deposited via underground migration from areas outside of the
Premises) even if such removal would require Lessee to perform or pay for work that exceeds
statutory requirements. Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by
Lessee, Any personal property of Lessee not removed on or before the Expiration Date or any earlier
termination date shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee and may be disposed of or
retained by Lessor as Lessor may desire. The failure by Lessee to timely vacate the Premises
pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express written consent of Lessor shall constitute a
holdover under the provisions of Paragraph 26 below.



8. Insurance; Indemnity.




8.1 Payment of Premium Increases.



(a) As used herein, the term “Insurance Cost Increase” is defined as any increase in
the actual cost of the insurance applicable to the Building and/or the Project and
required to be carried by Lessor, pursuant to Paragraphs 8.2(b),
8.3(a) and 8.3(b), (“Required Insurance”), over and above the Base Premium, as hereinafter defined,
calculated on an annual basis. Insurance Cost Increase shall include, but not be
limited to, requirements of the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises, Building and/or Project, increased valuation of the Premises, Building
and/or Project, and/or a general premium rate increase. The term Insurance Cost
Increase shall not, however, include any premium increases resulting from the nature
of the occupancy of any other tenant of the Building. If the parties insert a dollar
amount in Paragraph 1.9, such amount shall be considered the “Base Premium.” The Base
Premium shall be the annual premium applicable to the 12 month period immediately
preceding the Start Date. If, however, the Project was not insured for the entirety of
such 12 month period, then the Base Premium shall be the lowest annual premium
reasonably obtainable for the Required Insurance as of the Start Date, assuming the
most nominal use possible of the Building. In no event, however, shall Lessee be
responsible for any portion of the premium cost attributable to liability insurance
coverage in excess of $2,000,000 procured under Paragraph 8.2(b).



(b) Lessee shall pay any Insurance Cost Increase to Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 4.2. Premiums
for policy periods commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be
prorated to coincide with the corresponding Start Date or Expiration Date.



8.2 Liability Insurance.



(a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a Commercial General Liability
policy of insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor as an additional insured against claims for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of the ownership,
use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance
shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than $2,000,000. Lessee shall add
Lessor as an additional insured by means of an endorsement at least as broad as the Insurance
Service Organization’s “Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises” Endorsement and
coverage shall also be extended to include damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile
fire. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an “insured
contract” for the performance of Lessee’s indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of
said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any
obligation hereunder. Lessee shall provide an endorsement on its liability policy(ies) which
provides that its insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance
carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.



(b) Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall maintain liability insurance as described in Paragraph
8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee.
Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured therein.



8.3 Property Insurance — Building, Improvements and Rental Value.



(a) Building and Improvements. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of
insurance in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor, any ground-lessor, and to any Lender
insuring loss or damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full
insurable replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the
amount required by any Lender, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available
insurable value thereof. Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and
Lessee’s personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is
available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of
direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required by a
Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements
requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the Premises
as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation
provision in lieu of
any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an
increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted
U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where
the Premises are located. If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount
shall not exceed $1,000 per occurrence.



(b) Rental Value. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force a policy or policies in the name
of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor and any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one
year with an extended period of indemnity for an additional 180 days (“Rental Value
insurance”). Said insurance shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any
coinsurance clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected
Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next 12 month period.



(c) Adjacent Premises. Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property
insurance of the Building and for the Common Areas or other buildings in the Project if said
increase is caused by Lessee’s acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.



(d) Lessee’s Improvements. Since Lessor is the Insuring Party, Lessor shall not be
required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the
property of Lessor under the terms of this Lease.

8.4 Lessee’s Property; Business Interruption Insurance.



(a) Property Damage. Lessee shall obtain and maintain insurance coverage on all of Lessee’s
personal property. Trade Fixtures, and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Such
insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement of
personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Lessee
shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force.



(b) 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 or attributable
to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.



(c) No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Lessor makes no representation that the limits or
forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate to cover Lessee’s property, business
operations or obligations under this Lease.



8.5 Insurance Policies. Insurance required herein shall be by companies duly licensed or
admitted to transact business in the state where the Premises are located, and maintaining during
the policy term a “General Policyholders Rating” of at least A-, VI, as set forth in the most
current issue of “Best’s Insurance Guide”, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender.
Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required insurance
policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Start Date, deliver to Lessor certified copies of policies of
such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required insurance. No
such policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after 30 days prior written
notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least 10 days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish
Lessor with evidence of renewals or “insurance binders” evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may
order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee
to Lessor upon demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of
the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail to procure and
maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required
to, procure and maintain the same.



8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee and Lessor
each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right to recover damages against
the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required
to be insured against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers
is not limited by the amount
of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto. The Parties agree to
have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not
invalidated thereby.



8.7 Indemnity. Except for Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessee shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor’s master
or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or
damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, expenses and/or liabilities
arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the Premises by
Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing
matters, Lessee shall upon notice 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 defended or indemnified.



8.8
Exemption of Lessor and its Agents from Liability. Notwithstanding the negligence or
breach of this Lease by Lessor or its agents, neither Lessor nor its agents shall be liable under
any circumstances for: (i) injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee’s employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or
about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam,
electricity, gas, water or rain, indoor air quality, the presence of mold or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC
or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury or damage results from
conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building, or from other sources
or places, (ii) any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor or from
the failure of Lessor or its agents to enforce the provisions of any other lease in the Project, or
(iii) injury to Lessee’s business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. Instead, it is
intended that Lessee’s sole recourse in the event of such damages or injury be to file a claim on
the insurance policy(ies) that Lessee is required to maintain pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph 8.



8.9 Failure to Provide Insurance. Lessee acknowledges that any failure on its part to obtain
or maintain the insurance required herein will expose Lessor to risks and potentially cause Lessor
to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to
ascertain. Accordingly, for any month or portion thereof that Lessee does not maintain the required
insurance and/or does not provide Lessor with the required binders or certificates evidencing the
existence of the required insurance, the Base Rent shall be automatically increased, without any
requirement for notice to Lessee, by an amount equal to 10% of the then existing Base Rent or $100,
whichever is greater. The parties agree that such increase in Base Rent represents fair and
reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will incur by reason of Lessee’s
failure to maintain the required insurance. Such increase in Base Rent shall in no event constitute
a waiver of Lessee’s Default or Breach with respect to the failure to maintain such insurance,
prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, nor relieve Lessee
of its obligation to maintain the insurance specified in this Lease.



9. Damage or Destruction.




9.1 Definitions.



(a) “Premises Partial Damage” shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be
repaired in 3 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction, and the cost thereof does
not exceed a sum equal to 6 month’s Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30
days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or
Total. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premises Partial Damage shall not include damage to windows,
doors, and/or other similar items which Lessee has the responsibility to repair or replace pursuant
to the provisions of Paragraph 7.1.



(b) “Premises Total Destruction” shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which
cannot reasonably be
repaired in 3 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction and/or the cost
thereof exceeds a sum equal to 6 month’s Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within
30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or
Total.



(c) “Insured Loss” shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the Premises, other
than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an
event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any
deductible amounts or coverage limits involved.



(d) “Replacement Cost” shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the improvements owned by
Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition existing immediately prior thereto,
including demolition, debris removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable
Requirements, and without deduction for depreciation.

9.2 Partial Damage — Insured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an Insured Loss
occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor’s
expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee’s Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor’s election, make the repair of any
damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event,
Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for
that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or the
insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly
contribute the shortage in proceeds as and when required to complete said repairs. In the event,
however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the
improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to
fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to
cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within 10 days following receipt of written notice of
such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof
within said 10 day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as
soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds
or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within
10 days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with
Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, or (ii) have this Lease terminate 30 days thereafter. Lessee shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction.
Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such
insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.



9.3 Partial Damage — Uninsured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is not an Insured
Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall
make the repairs at Lessee’s expense), Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as
reasonably possible at Lessor’s expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within 30 days after
receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall be
effective 60 days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this
Lease, Lessee shall have the right within 10 days after receipt of the termination notice to give
written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance
thereof within 30 days after making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible
after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.



9.4
Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total
Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate 60 days following such Destruction. If the damage
or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall
have the right to recover Lessor’s damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.



9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last 6 months of this Lease there is
damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one month’s Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss,
Lessor may terminate this Lease effective 60 days following the date of occurrence of such damage
by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within 30 days after the date of occurrence of
such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a)
exercising such option and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or
adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs on or before
the earlier of (i) the date
which is 10 days after Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s written notice purporting to terminate this
Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly exercises
such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to
cover any shortage in insurance proceeds. Lessor shall, at Lessor’s commercially reasonable
expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance
during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date
specified in the termination notice
and Lessee’s option shall be extinguished.



9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee’s Remedies.



(a) Abatement. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total Destruction or a
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent
payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage
shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, but
not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such
damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.



(b) Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not
commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within 90 days after such
obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or
restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice, of
Lessee’s election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than 60 days following the giving of
such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within 30
days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the
repair or restoration is commenced within such 30 days, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. “Commence” shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the
required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.



9.7 Termination; Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph
6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance Base Rent and any
other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so
much of Lessee’s Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor.



9.8 Waive Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease shall govern the
effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with respect to the termination of this
Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent inconsistent
herewith.



10.
Real Property Taxes.




10.1 Definitions.



(a) “Real Property Taxes.” As used herein, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall include any
form of
assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax
(other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee
imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Project, Lessor’s
right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor’s business of leasing, by any authority having the
direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds are generated with reference to the Project
address and where the proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local
taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Project is located. The term “Real Property
Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein: (i)
imposed by reason of events occurring during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to,
a change in the ownership of the Project, (ii) a change in the improvements thereon, and/or (iii)
levied or assessed on machinery or equipment provided by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Lease.



(b) “Base Real Property Taxes.” As used herein, the term “Base Real Property Taxes” shall
be the amount of Real Property Taxes, which are assessed against the Premises, Building, Project or
Common Areas in the calendar year during which the Lease is executed. In calculating Real
Property Taxes for any calendar year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be
included in the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the number of
days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.

10.2
Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, Lessor shall pay the
Real Property Taxes applicable to the
Project, and said payments shall be included in the calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses
in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.2.



10.3 Additional Improvements. Common Area Operating Expenses shall not include Real
Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor’s records and work sheets as being caused by
additional improvements placed upon the Project by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive
enjoyment of such other lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.2 hereof, Lessee shall, however,
pay to Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the
entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by reason of Alterations, Trade
Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee’s request or by
reason of any alterations or improvements to the Premises made by Lessor subsequent to the
execution of this Lease by the Parties.



10.4 Joint Assessment. If the Building is not separately assessed, Real Property Taxes
allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of
the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined
by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s work sheets or such other
information as may be reasonably available. Lessor’s reasonable determination thereof, in good
faith, shall be conclusive.



10.5 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures,
furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises. When
possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade
Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed
separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee’s said property shall be assessed
with Lessor’s real property. Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee’s property
within 10 days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee’s
property.



11. Utilities and Services. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone,
trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes
thereon. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 4.2, if at any time in Lessor’s sole
judgment, Lessor determines that Lessee is using a disproportionate amount of water, electricity or
other commonly metered utilities, or that Lessee is generating such a large volume of trash as to
require an increase in the size of the trash receptacle and/or an increase in the number of times
per month that it is emptied, then Lessor may increase Lessee’s Base Rent by an amount equal to
such increased costs. 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.



(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or
encumber (collectively, “assign or assignment”) or sublet all or any part of Lessee’s interest in
this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor’s prior written
consent.



(b) Unless Lessee is a corporation and its stock is publicly traded on a national stock
exchange, a change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring consent. The
transfer, on a cumulative basis, of 25% or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a
change in control for this purpose.



(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions (by
way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or
not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee’s assets occurs, which results or
will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than 25% of such Net
Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of the most
recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said
transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be
considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent. “Net Worth of
Lessee” shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established under generally
accepted accounting principles.



(d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor’s option, be a Default
curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any
notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a
noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon 30 days written
notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to 110% of the Base Rent then in effect, Further, in the
event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the
Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to 110% of the price previously in
effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the
Lease term shall be increased to 110% of the scheduled adjusted rent.



(e) Lessee’s remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to
compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.



(f) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to a proposed assignment or subletting if Lessee is
in Default at the time consent is requested.



(g) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, allowing a diminimus portion of the Premises, ie. 20
square feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in connection with the installation of a
vending machine or payphone shall not constitute a subletting.



12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.



(a) Regardless
of Lessor’s consent, no assignment or subletting shall: (i) be effective
without the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee
under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be
performed by Lessee.



(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee’s obligations from any person other than
Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or
disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver
or estoppel of Lessor’s right to exercise its remedies for Lessee’s Default or Breach.



(c) Lessor’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to
any subsequent assignment or subletting.



(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessee’s obligations under
this Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor’s remedies against
any other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.



(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied
by information relevant to Lessor’s determination as to the financial and operational
responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited
to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a fee of
$500 as consideration for Lessor’s considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to
provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested. (See also Paragraph 36)



(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such
assignment, entering into such sublease, or entering into possession of the Premises or any portion
thereof, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term,
covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of
said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with
provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing.



(g) Lessor’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not transfer to the assignee or
sublessee any Option granted to the original Lessee by this Lease unless such transfer is
specifically consented to by Lessor in writing. (See Paragraph 39.2)

12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. 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 Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:



(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee’s interest in all Rent payable
on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessee’s obligations under
this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee’s
obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. In the event that the amount collected by Lessor exceeds
Lessee’s then outstanding obligations any such excess shall be refunded to Lessee. Lessor shall
not, by reason of the foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection
of Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any
of Lessee’s obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any
such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the
performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become
due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all
Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists,
notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary.



(b) In
the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, atits option, require sublessee to attorn
to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such
sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such
sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of
such sublessor.



(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease shall also
require the consent of Lessor.



(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises
without Lessor’s prior written consent.



(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee,
who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified
in such notice. The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against
Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.



13. Default; Breach; Remedies.



13.1 Default; Breach. A “Default” is defined as a failure by the Lessee to comply with or
perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or Rules and Regulations under this Lease. A
“Breach” is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of
Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period:



(a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the Premises without providing a
commercially reasonable level of security, or where the coverage of the property insurance
described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable
assurances to minimize potential vandalism.



(b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any Security Deposit required to be
made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable
evidence of insurance or surety bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers
or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of 3 business days
following written notice to Lessee.



(c) The commission of waste, act or acts constituting public or private nuisance, and/or an
illegal activity on the Premises by Lessee, where such actions continue for a period of 3 business
days following written notice to Lessee.



(d) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance with
Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized
assignment or subletting, (iv) an Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi)
evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 41,
(viii) material data safety sheets (MSDS), or (ix) any other documentation or information which
Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure
continues for a period of 10 days following written notice to Lessee.



(e) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or
of the rules adopted under Paragraph 2.9 hereof, other than those described in subparagraphs
13.1(a), (b), (c) or (d), above, where such Default continues for a period of 30 days after written
notice; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee’s Default is such that more than 30 days
are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee
commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.



(f) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general arrangement
or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101
or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same
is dismissed within 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 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 30 days; provided,
however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph is contrary to any applicable law,
such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions.



(g) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to
Lessor was materially false.



(h) If the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a
Guarantor, (ii) the
termination of a Guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with
the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor’s becoming insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy
filing, (iv) a Guarantor’s refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor’s breach of its
guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee’s failure, within 60 days following
written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or security, which,
when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial
resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.



13.2
Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within
10 days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its
option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee’s behalf, including but not limited to the
obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs and expenses incurred by
Lessor in such performance upon receipt of an invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor
may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any
right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:



(a) Terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case
this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned
at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the
time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused
by the Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and
alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that portion of any leasing commission
paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The
worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award
plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by

Lessee’s Breach of this Lease
shall not waive Lessor’s right to recover damages under Paragraph 12. if termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of
unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and
damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right
to recover all or any part
thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not
previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the
unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In such
case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute
shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the
two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease
entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.



(b) Continue
the Lease and Lessee’s right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes
due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of
maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor’s
interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee’s
right to possession.



(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of
the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee’s right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any
indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by
reason of Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises.



13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration
for Lessee’s entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as
“Inducement Provisions”, shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee’s full and faithful performance of
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any
such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further
force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated,
given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not
be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in
writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.



13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent 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 upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly,
if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within 5 days after such amount shall be due, then,
without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor a one-time
late charge equal to 10% of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater. The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor
will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no
event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that
a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for 3 consecutive installments of
Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at
Lessor’s option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.



13.5 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges, not
received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within 30 days
following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date
when due, as to scheduled payments, or the 31st day after it was due as to non-scheduled payments.
The interest (“Interest”) charged shall be computed at the rate of 10% per annum but shall not
exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late
charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.



13.6 Breach by Lessor.



(a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails
within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes
of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than 30 days after receipt by
Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for such
purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than 30 days are
reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is
commenced within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.



(b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event that neither Lessor nor Lender
cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure
they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at
Lessee’s expense and offset from Rent the actual and reasonable cost to perform such cure,
provided however, that such offset shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of one month’s
Base Rent or the Security Deposit, reserving Lessee’s right to reimbursement from Lessor for any
such expense in excess of such offset. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and supply said
documentation to Lessor.



14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent
domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively “Condemnation”), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the Unit, or more than
25% of Lessee’s Reserved Parking Spaces, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option,
to be exercised in writing within 10 days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of
such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within 10 days after the condemning authority shall
have taken possession) 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
Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such
Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such
award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part
taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
compensation for Lessee’s relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures,
without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this
Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes
of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled
to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by
such Condemnation.



15. Brokerage Fees.



15.1 Additional Commission. In addition to the payments owed pursuant to Paragraph 1.10
above, and unless Lessor and the Brokers otherwise agree in writing.
Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option, (b)
if Lessee acquires from Lessor any rights to the Premises or other premises owned by Lessor and
located within the Project, (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Promises, with the
consent of Lessor, after the expiration of this Lease. or (d) if Base Rent is increased, whether
by agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein then, Lessor shall pay Brokers a fee in
accordance with the schedule of the Brokers in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease.



15.2 Assumption of Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor’s interest in this Lease
shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor’s obligation hereunder. Brokers shall be third party beneficiaries of the provisions of Paragraphs
1.10, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to Brokers any
amounts due as and for
brokerage fees pertaining to this Lease when due, then such amounts shall accrue Interest. In
addition, if Lessor fails to pay any amounts to Lessee’s Broker
when due, Lessee’s Broker may send
written notice to Lessor and Lessor of such failure and if Lessor fails to pay such amounts within
10 days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to its Broker and offset such amounts
against Rent. In addition, Lessee’s Broker shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any
commission agreement entered into by and/or between Lessor and Lessor’s Broker for the limited
purpose of collecting any-brokerage too owed.

15.3 Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships. Lessee and Lessor each
represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or
finder (other than the Brokers, if any) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than
said named Brokers is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection herewith. Lessee and
Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and
against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker,
finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party,
including any costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.



16. Estoppel Certificates.




(a) Each Party (as “Responding Party”) shall within 10 days after written notice from the
other Party (the “Requesting Party”) execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a
statement in writing in form similar to the then most current “Estoppel Certificate” form
published by the AIR Commercial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information,
confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party.



(b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within
such 10 day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the
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.
Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Requesting Party’s Estoppel Certificate,
and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said
Certificate.



(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof,
Lessee and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor
such financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but
not limited to Lessee’s financial statements for the past 3 years. 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. Definition of Lessor. The term “Lessor” as used herein shall mean the owner or owners at the
time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee’s
interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessor’s title or interest in the
Premises or this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit)
any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such
transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall
be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this Lease
thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or
covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as
hereinabove defined.



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. Days. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word “days” as used in this
Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.



20. Limitation on Liability. The obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute
personal obligations of Lessor, or its partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders, and
Lessee shall look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any
liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against Lessor’s
partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction.



21. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of all obligations to
be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.



22. No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This Lease contains all agreements between
the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous
agreement or understanding shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to
the Brokers that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature,
quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the use,
nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto
or with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability (including court
costs and attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or
performance by either Lessor or Lessee under this Lease or any amendment or modification hereto
shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease;
provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s liability shall not be applicable
to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.



23. Notices.



23.1
Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease or applicable law
shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier) or may be sent by
regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or
by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified
in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party’s signature on this Lease shall be
that Party’s address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written notice to
the other specify a different address for notice, except that upon Lessee’s taking possession of
the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee’s address for notice. A copy of all notices to
Lessor shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may
from time to time hereafter designate in writing.



23.2 Date of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no
delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed
given 72 hours after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantee next day
delivery shall be deemed given 24 hours after delivery of the same to the Postal Service or
courier. Notices transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered
upon telephone confirmation of receipt (confirmation report from fax machine is sufficient),
provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.



24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant or condition
hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of
any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition
hereof. 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 or similar act by Lessee, or be
construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease
requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or
Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of monies or damages
due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection
therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless
specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment.



25. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.




(a) When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate
transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or
agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this
transaction, as follows:



(i) Lessor’s Agent. A Lessor’s agent under a listing agreement with the
Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor’s agent
or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor: A
fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in
dealings with the Lessor. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable
skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties, b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and
good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or
desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and
observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential
information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth
above.

PAGE 13 OF 17









 





(ii) Lessee’s Agent. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only.
In these situations, the agent is not the
Lessor’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered,
either in full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the following
affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity,
honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a.
Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties, b. A duty of
honest and fair dealing and good faith, c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent
materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within
the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to
either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the
affirmative duties set forth above.



(iii) Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A real estate agent, either acting
directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a transaction, but only
with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee. In a dual agency situation, the
agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Lessor and the Lessee: a. A fiduciary
duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the
Lessee. b. Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above in subparagraphs (i) or
(ii). In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not without the express permission of
the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessor will accept rent in an amount
less than that indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willing to pay a higher rent than
that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Lessor
or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor and Lessee should
carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the
transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or
tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.



(b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either
Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty,
error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the
Start Date and that the liability (including court costs and attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with
respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such
Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s
liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.



(c) Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as “Confidential” any communication or
information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential.



26. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part
thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over,
then the Base Rent shall be increased to 150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the
expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any
holding over by Lessee.



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; Construction
of Agreement. All provisions of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all
headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part
of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice
versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather
according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it.



29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties, their personal
representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in which the
Premises are located. Any litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be
initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.



30. Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.




30.1 Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate
to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device
(collectively, “Security Device”), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all
advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as
“Lender”) shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to
the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease
and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative
dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.



30.2 Attornment. In the event that Lessor transfers title to the Premises, or the Premises are
acquired by another upon the foreclosure or termination of a Security Devise to which this Lease is
subordinated (i) Lessee shall, subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, attorn
to such new owner, and upon request, enter into a new lease, containing all of the terms and
provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remainder of the term hereof, or, at the
election of the new owner, this Lease will automatically become a new lease between Lessee and such
new owner, and (ii) Lessor shall thereafter be relieved of any further obligations hereunder and
such new owner shall assume all of Lessor’s obligations, except that such new owner shall not: (a)
be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to
acquisition of ownership; (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against
any prior lessor, (c) be bound by prepayment of more than one month’s rent, or (d) be liable for
the return of any security deposit paid to any prior lessor.



30.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the
execution of this Lease, Lessee’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a
commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) from the Lender
which Non-Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessee’s possession of the Premises, and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in
Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within 60 days after the
execution of this Lease, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured by
the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance Agreement within
said 60 days, then Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, directly contact Lender and attempt to negotiate
for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.



30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be effective without
the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor
or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor
shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document
any subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.



31. Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises
whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys’ fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate
suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term,
“Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains
or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or
the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. 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 addition, Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses
incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection
therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such
Default or resulting Breach ($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence for such services and
consultation).

32. Lessor’s Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Showing Premises; Repairs, Lessor and Lessor’s
agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and
otherwise at reasonable times after reasonable prior notice for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using and
maintaining of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises and/or other premises
as long as there is no material adverse effect on Lessee’s use of the Premises. All such
activities shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.



33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any auction upon the Premises
without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard of
reasonableness in determining whether to permit an auction.



34. Signs. Lessor may place on the Premises ordinary “For Sale” signs at any time and ordinary
“For Lease” signs during the last 6 months of the term hereof. Except for ordinary “For Sublease”
signs which may be placed only on the Premises, Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Project
without Lessor’s prior written consent. All signs must comply with all Applicable Requirements.



35. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the voluntary
or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a
termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or
lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor’s failure within 10 days following any such event to elect to the
contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor’s
election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.



36. Consents. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is
required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Lessor’s actual reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects’,
attorneys’, engineers’ and other consultants’ fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response
to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent, including but not limited to consents to an
assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee
upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor’s consent to any act,
assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee
of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or
Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
consent. The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor’s consent shall not
preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are
then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given. In the
event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably
requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in
writing and in reasonable detail within 10 business days following such request.



37. Guarantor.




37.1 Execution. The Guarantors, if any, shall each execute a guaranty in the form most
recently published by the AIR Commercial Real Estate Association.



37.2 Default. It shall constitute a Default of the Lessee if any Guarantor fails or refuses,
upon request to provide: (a) evidence of the execution of the guaranty, including the authority of
the party signing on Guarantor’s behalf to obligate Guarantor, and in the case of a corporate
Guarantor, a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making of
such guaranty, (b) current financial statements, (c) an Estoppel Certificate, or (d) written
confirmation that the guaranty is still in effect.



38. Quiet
Possession. Subject to payment by Lessee of the Rent and performance of all of the
covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee’s part to be observed and performed under this
Lease, Lessee shall have quiet possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises during the term
hereof.



39. Options. If Lessee is granted an option, as defined below, then the following provisions shall
apply.



39.1 Definition. “Option” shall mean: (a) the right to extend the term of or renew this
Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other properly of Lessor; (b) the right of
first refusal or first offer to lease either the Premises or other property of Lessor; (c) the
right to purchase or the right of first refusal to purchase the Premises or other property of
Lessor.



39.2 Options Personal To Original Lessee. Any Option granted to Lessee in this Lease is
personal to the original Lessee, and cannot be assigned or exercised by anyone other than said
original Lessee and only while the original Lessee is in full possession of the Premises and, if
requested by Lessor, with Lessee certifying that Lessee has no intention of thereafter assigning or
subletting.



39.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple Options to extend or renew
this Lease, a later Option cannot be exercised unless the prior Options have been validly
exercised.



39.4 Effect of Default on Options.



(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option; (i) during the period commencing with
the giving of any notice of Default and continuing until said Default is cured, (ii) during the
period of time any Rent is unpaid (without regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), (iii)
during the time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessee has been given
3 or more notices of separate Default, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month
period immediately preceding the exercise of the Option.



(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not be extended or
enlarged by reason of Lessee’s inability to exercise an Option because of the provisions of
Paragraph 39.4(a).



(c) An Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee’s
due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and prior to the commencement of the
extended term or completion of the purchase, (i) Lessee fails to pay Rent for a period of 30 days
after such Rent becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof), or (ii) if
Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.



40. Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the Rent payable to Lessor hereunder does
not include the cost of guard service or other security measures, and that Lessor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to provide same. Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the
Premises, Lessee, its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties.



41. Reservations. Lessor reserves the right: (i) to grant, without the consent or joinder of
Lessee, such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary, (ii) to cause the
recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, and (iii) to create and/or install new utility
raceways, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps, restrictions, and utility raceways
do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any
documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate such rights.



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 not 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. A

RULES AND REGULATIONS




It is the Lessor’s intention and purpose to operate an outstanding office/warehouse building. The
Lessor will strive at all times to render prompt and efficient service and to maintain the
property in the best possible condition. In an effort to maintain the property, the Lessor asks
your cooperation in observing the following rules. Any expense incurred by the management as a
result of violation of these rules will be assessed against the Lessee and shall constitute
default by Lessee. Lessee shall promptly notify the management of any needed repairs to any of the
equipment or fixtures.



(A) The Lessee shall comply with all the rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters,
officers or boards of the city, county or state having jurisdiction over the Premises, and with all
ordinances and regulations of governmental authorities wherein the leased premises are located, at
Lessee’s sole cost and expense, but only insofar as any of such rules, ordinances and regulations
relate to the Lessee’s use of the Premises.



(B) The exterior of all drapes installed by Lessee shall be lined with white material. All blinds
are to be approved by Lessor. Blinds must be left in the fully extended position at all times.



(C) No additional locks shall be placed upon any doors of the premises without prior approval from
the Lessor. Lessor shall furnish to Lessee keys (3) to the Premises, and any additional keys shall
be furnished at the cost and expense of Lessee. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Lessee shall surrender to Lessor all keys to the Premises. All
duplicate key and lockset
repairs/reset requests shall be made to the Lessor, at the sole expense of the Lessee.



(D) Lessee and their employees are encouraged to park as far away from the entrances as possible.
This will enable customers and clients to enter and conduct business without undue inconvenience.
Certain spaces have been set aside as Handicapped Parking. These spaces will not be utilized for
personal vehicles of Lessee or employees of Lessee.



(E) Parking — Lessee shall not permit or allow vehicles that belong to or are controlled by,
Lessee’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, contractors or invitees to be parked overnight
in the parking spaces. Any vehicle left unattended for 72 hours is subject to being towed at
vehicle owner’s expense.



Delivery and/or trade vehicles should be parked in front driveway and front parking areas only
when loading or unloading for a period of no more than thirty minutes at a time, unless otherwise
approved by Lessor. At all other times, these vehicles should be parked in the rear of the
Building. Any driveway areas located in front of the Building should not be considered parking
spaces by Lessee. Any residue deposited on any parking or loading area by a vehicle will be the
responsibility of the Lessee, and the Lessee will immediately clean the area. No vehicle may
extend onto the sidewalk surfaces that cross a driveway at any time, except for loading or
unloading purposes. Lessee may not place signs of any type on the Building and/or parking and
loading areas without prior permission from the Lessor.



In addition, no Lessee shall use, or cause to be used, more parking than the parking ration
established by the City for their given space. Lessee will obtain written approval from CIP
Real Estate Property Services should Lessee have a truck, can or other type for work vehicle,
which requires over night Parking.
