Premises or the Office Building; (ii) is removable without damage to the Leased
Premises or the Office Building, and (iii) is not a replacement of any property
of Landlord, whether such replacement is made at Tenant’s expense or otherwise.

this Lease, if the assessed value of the Office Building is increased by

Landlord, upon demand, that portion of the real estate taxes payable by
Landlord and attributable to such increase. Tenant shall remove all Tenant’s
Personal Property from the Leased Premises at the termination of this Lease.
Any property belonging to Tenant or any other person which is left in the
Leased Premises after the date the Lease is terminated, for any reason, shall
be deemed to have been abandoned. In such event, Landlord shall have the right
to claim from Tenant all expenses and damages caused by Tenant’s failure to
remove such property, and Tenant shall not have any right to compensation or
claim against Landlord as a result.

policies providing at least the following coverage:

 

                     A.     Public
liability insurance, including insurance against assumed or contractual
liability under this lease, with respect to the Leased Premises, to afford

- 14 -

with limits of not less
that five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per occurrence and one million
dollars ($1,000,000) annual aggregate, combined single limit, with respect to
personal injury and death and property damage, such insurance to provide for no
deductible;

                      B.     All-risk
property and casualty insurance, including theft, written at replacement cost
value and with replacement cost endorsement, covering all of Tenant’s Personal
Property in the Leased Premises and all of the Alterations, and all other
things installed in the Leased Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, and covering
loss of income resulting from casualty; and 

                      C.     If,
and to the extent, required by law, worker’s compensation or similar insurance
offering statutory coverage and containing statutory limits.

                      Such
policies will be maintained in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and will
be written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with, or in excess
of, any coverage which Landlord shall carry. Tenant will deposit the policy or
policies of such required insurance or certificates thereof with Landlord prior
to Move-in, which policies shall name Landlord or its designee as an additional
named insured, as a loss-payee and shall also contain a provision staring that
such policy or policies shall not be canceled or materially altered except
after thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord. All such policies of
insurance shall be effective as of the date Tenant occupies the Leased Premises
and shall be maintained in force at all times during the Term of this Lease and
all other times during which Tenant shall occupy the Leased Premises. In
addition to the foregoing insurance coverage. Tenant shall require any
contractor maintain, at no expense to Landlord, during such times as the
contractor is working in the Leased Premises, a non-deductible (i)
comprehensive general liability insurance policy, including, but not limited
to, contractor liability coverage, contractual liability coverage, completed
operations coverage, broad form property damage endorsement and contractor’s
protective liability coverage, to afford protection with limits per person and
for each occurrence, of not less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000),
combined single limit, with respect to personal injury and death and property

termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 15 herein, Tenant
agrees that it will pay Landlord all of its insurance proceeds relating to
Tenant’s Improvements made in the Leased Premises by or on behalf of Tenant.

          14.2.    Tenant’s
Failure to Insure. If Tenant
shall fail to obtain insurance as required under this Section 14, Landlord may,
but shall not be obligated to. obtain such insurance, and in such event. Tenant
agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, the premium for such insurance upon demand
by Landlord.

- 15 -

          14.3.    Compliance
with Policies. Tenant will not do or suffer to be done,
or keep, or suffer to be kept,
anything in, upon or about the Leased Premises which will contravene Landlord’s
policies insuring against loss or damage by fire, other casualty, or any other
cause, including without limitation, public liability, or which will prevent
Landlord from procuring such policies in companies acceptable to Landlord. If
any act or failure to act by Tenant in and about this Office Building and the
Leased Premises shall cause the rates with respected insurance policies
required to be maintained by Landlord under this Section 14 or under the
provisions of leases with respect to any other tenants in the Office Building,
to be increased beyond those rates that would normally applicable for such
coverage, Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent, the amount of any such increases

Subrogation. Tenant will cause each insurance policy
carried by it insuring against liability or insuring the Leased Premises
(including the contents located in them) against loss by fire or any of the
casualties covered by the all-risk insurance required under this Lease to be
written in such a manner as to provide mat in insurer waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation or otherwise against Landlord in connection with
any loss or damage covered by such policies. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
be liable and both waive and release the other from any loss or damage covered
by any of the insurance policies required to be carried by both parties. If, by
reason of the preceding waiver, either party shall be unable to obtain any such
insurance, such waiver shall be deemed not to have been made by such party and
if either party shall be unable to obtain any such insurance without the
payment of an additional premium, then it shall so notify the other party and,
unless such party for the costs of the additional premium within thirty (30)
days after notice setting forth such requirement and the amount of the
additional premium, such waiver shall be of effect between such party and such
claiming party.

          15.       DAMAGE
AND DESTRUCTION. 

          15.1.    Landlord’s
Obligation to Repair and Reconstruct. If the Leased
Premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements, accident, or other casualty
(any of such causes being referred to as a “Casualty”), but the leased Premises
shall not be rendered wholly or partially untenantable. Landlord shall promptly
cause such damage to be repaired and there shall be no abatement of Basic Rent.
If, as the result of Casualty, the leased Premises shall be rendered wholly or
partially untenantable, then, subject to the provisions of Section 15.2.
Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired and Basic Rent shall be abated
proportionately as to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable
during the period of such untenantability. All such repairs shall be made at
the expense of Landlord, subject to Tenant’s responsibilities set forth in this
Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for interruption to Tenant’s business or
for damage to or replacement or repair of Tenant’s Personal Property, all of
which damage, replacement or repair shall be undertaken and completed by Tenant
promptly.

          15.2.    Landlord’s
Option to Terminate Lease. If (i) the Leased Premises are
rendered wholly untenantable, or (ii) the Office Building is damaged to the
extent of fifty percent (50%) or

- 16 -

more of its gross
leasable area, or (iii) for reasons beyond Landlord’s control, or by virtue of
the terms of any financing of the Office Building, sufficient insurance
proceeds are not available for any reconstruction or restoration of the Office
Building or Leased Premises, then, in any of such event. Landlord may elect to
terminate this Lease by giving the Tenant notice of such election within ninety
(90) days after the occurrence of such event. If such notice is given, the
rights and obligations of the parties shall cease as of the date of such
notice, and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent (other than any Additional Rent
due Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations
under this Lease) shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

          15.3     Demolition
of the Building. If the Building shall be so
substantially damaged that it is reasonably necessary, in Landlord’s judgment,
and after consultation with Landlord’s insurance carrier and adjuster to
demolish the Office Building for the purpose of reconstruction, Landlord may
demolish it, in which event the Basic and Additional Rent shall be abated to
the same extent as if the Leased Premises were rendered untenantable by a
casualty.

          15.4     Insurance
Proceeds. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this
lease pursuant to this Section 15, Landlord shall, subject to the terms of any
Mortgages, disburse and apply any insurance proceeds received by Landlord to
the restoration and rebuilding of the Office Building in accordance with
Section 15.1 of this Lease. All insurance proceeds payable with respect to the
Leased Premises and the Office Building shall belong and shall be payable to Landlord.

          16.       CONDEMNATION.

          16.1.    Termination.
If either the entire Leased Premises or the Office Building shall be acquired
or condemned by any governmental authority under its power of eminent domain
for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of
the date of vesting or acquisition of title in the condemning authority and the
rents shall be abated on that date. If less than the whole but more than fifty
percent (50%) of the Leased Premises or more than fifty percent (50%) of the
total area of the Office Building (even if the Leased Premises are unaffected)
or such portion of the Common Areas as shall render the Leased Premises or the
Office Building untenantable should be so acquired or condemned, Landlord and
Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease by notice given to
the other within ninety (90) days after such taking. In the event that such a
notice of termination is given, this lease shall terminate as of the date of
vesting or acquisition of title in the condemning authority and the rents shall
be abated on that date.

                     If
(i) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall exercise their respective options to
terminate this lease, as set forth above, or (ii) some lesser portion of the
leased Premises or the Office Building, which does not give rise to a right to
terminate pursuant to this Section 16.1, is taken by the condemning authority,
this lease shall continue in effect, but from and after the date of the vesting
of title in the condemning authority, the Basic Rent payable during the
unexpired

- 17 -

portion of the Term of
this Lease shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the Leased
Premises, and any Additional Rent (other than Additional Rent due Landlord by
reason of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations) shall be adjusted to
reflect the diminution of the Leased Premises or the Office Building, as the
case may be.

          16.2     Right
to Award. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord
arising out of the taking or condemnation, or arising out of the cancellation
of this Lease, or for any portion or the amount that may be awarded as damages
as a result of any taking or condemnation, or for the value of any unexpired
portion of the Term of this Lease, or for any property lost through
condemnation, and Tenant assigns to Landlord all its right, title, and interest
in and to any such award; provided, however, that, in the event of a total
taking. Tenant may assert any claim it may have against the condemning
authority for compensation for Tenant’s Personal Property lost thereby and for
any relocation expenses compensable by statute and receive such awards as may
be allowed in the Condemnation proceedings provided that such awards shall be
made in addition to, and stated separately from, the award made to Landlord for
the Office Building, the underlying land, and the Leased Premises. Landlord
shall have no obligation to contest any taking or condemnation.

          17.     BANKRUPTCY
OF TENANT.

          Not
withstanding any of the other provisions of this Lease, if Tenant shall
voluntarily or involuntarily come under the jurisdiction of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code and thereafter Tenant or its trustee in bankruptcy, under the
authority of and pursuant to applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
shall determine to assign this Lease, Tenant agrees that (i) Tenant or its
trustee will provide to Landlord sufficient information enabling it to
independently determine whether Landlord will incur actual and substantial
detriment by reason of such assignment and (ii) “adequate assurance of future
performance” under this lease, as that term is generally defined under the
Federal Bankruptcy Code, will be provided to Landlord by Tenant and its
assignee as a condition of the assignment.

          18.     DEFAULT
PROVISIONS AND REMEDIES.

          18.1.   Events of
Default. Each of the
following shall be deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease:

                    A.
   Failure of Tenant to pay Basic Rent, any Additional Rent, or any other sum
required to be paid under the terms of this Lease, including late charges,
within 10 days after the written notice of default;

                    B.
   Failure by Tenant to perform any other term, covenant, agreement or condition
of this Lease, on the part of Tenant to be performed, for a period of thirty
(30) days after notice from the Landlord, unless such performance shall
reasonably require a longer period, in which case Tenant shall not be deemed in
default if Tenant commences the required

the pursues and completes such action diligently and expeditiously and in any
event within not more than thirty (30) days;

                    C.

discharged within thirty (30) days of the date such lien is filed;

                    D.
   The commencement of any action or proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation
of Tenant or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or the property of
Tenant, whether instituted by or against Tenant, if not bonded or discharged
within sixty (60) days of the date of the commencement of such proceeding or
action, and for purposes of this subsection 18.1.e. the word “Tenant” shall
also include any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;

                    E.
   The making by Tenant of any assignment for the benefit of creditors; and

                    F.
   The sale of Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises under attachment, execution,
or similar legal process.

          18.2.   Remedies.
If a default occurs under the terms of this Lease, Landlord may, at any time
thereafter, provided Tenant has received prior written notice and being given
notice to give right to cure the default (5 days monetary, 15 days
non-monetary), terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the
leased Premises and, with or without legal process, take possession of the
Leased Premises and remove Tenant, any occupant, and any property, without being
guilty of or liable for trespass and without relinquishing any right of
Landlord against Tenant.

          If
this Lease is terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding
paragraph. Tenant shall be obligated to, and shall, pay to Landlord as damages,
upon demand, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or any proceedings
instituted by Landlord to recover possession of the Leased Premises, and the
expenses of releasing the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, any
leasing commissions and alterations paid in connection with them plus at the
election of Landlord either:

                    A.
  Liquidated damages determined as of the date of termination of the Lease, in an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the sum of the aggregate Basic Rent and
the aggregate Additional Rent which would have been paid over the remaining
Term of this Lease had this Lease not been terminated, discounted to present
worth, over the then-current rental value of the Leased Premises, for such
remaining Term as determined by an independent real estate appraiser selected
by Landlord, discounted to present worth, and in determining such liquidated
damages, the Additional Rent for each Rental Year of such remaining Term shall
be assumed to equal the Additional Rent payable for the operating year
immediately preceding the operating year in which the default occurs,
annualized in the event that such preceding operating year is less than twelve

- 19 -

(12) months, and in
determining present worth, a discount rate equal to one percentage point above
the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington,
D.C. shall be used; Landlord shall have an affirmative obligation to relet the
premises to mitigate the total damages and such rent received shall offset
Tenant’s liability; or

                       B.
   Damages (payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each
calendar month following such termination and continuing until the date
originally fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease) in amounts equal
to the sum of (i) an amount equal to the Installment of Basic Rent which would
have been payable by Tenant for such calendar month had this Lease not been
terminated and (ii) an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the total Additional
Rent payable for the operating year immediately preceding the operating year in
which the default occurred, annualized to the extent that such preceding
operating year is less than twelve (12) months, less the rents, if any
collected by Landlord with respect to such calendar month pursuant to either
releasing the Leased Premises or portion of them or from any existing subleases
permitted under the terms of this Lease, it being agreed that (a) Landlord
shall be entitle to immediately bring a separate suit, action or proceeding to
collect any amount due from Tenant under this Section 18.2 for any calendar
month and any such suit, action, or proceeding shall not prejudice in any way
the right of Landlord to collect such amount due on account of any subsequent
calendar month by similarly proceeding and (b) in no event shall Landlord be
required to exercise any efforts whatsoever to release the Leased Premises.

          18.3     No
waiver. No act or omission by Landlord shall be deemed to
be an acceptance of a surrender of the leased Premises or a termination of
Tenant’s liabilities under this Lease, unless Landlord shall execute a written
release to Tenant. Tenant’s liability shall not be terminated by the execution
by Landlord of any new lease for all or any portion of the leased Premises or
the acceptance of rent from any assignee or subtenant.

          18.4     Remedies
Not Exclusive. All rights and remedies of Landlord set
forth in this lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right
or remedy, now or later allowed by or available under any statute, ordinance,
rule or court, or the common law, either at law or in equity, or both. For the
purposes of any suit, this Lease shall be construed to be a divisible contract,
to the end that successive actions may be maintained on this Lease as
successive periodic sums shall mature under it. The failure of Landlord to
insist, in any one or more instance, upon a strict performance of any of the
covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease or to exercise any right or
option contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment for the future, of such covenant, term, condition, right, or
option, but they shall continue and remain in full effect unless the contrary
is expressed by Landlord in writing. The receipt by Landlord or rents, with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant or the receipt by Landlord of less than
the full rent due, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or of the
Landlord’s right to receive the full rents, and no waiver by Landlord of any
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in
writing and signed by Landlord.

- 20 -

          18.5.     Persistent
Failure to Pay Rent. In addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease or by law, Landlord may, at any
time throughout the Term of this Lease, terminate this Lease upon Tenant’s
default on three (3) separate occasions during any consecutive twelve (12)
month period of the Term of this Lease, regardless of whether or not such
subsequent defaults have been cured. Termination, pursuant to this Section
18.5, shall effective upon Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a notice of
termination.

          19.       LANDLORD’S
RIGHT TO CURE.

          If
Tenant shall default in the performance of any term of this Lease on Tenant’s
part to be performed. Landlord, without waiving such default, may, but shall
not be obligated to, cure such default for the account and at the expense of
Tenant, without notice in case of emergency and upon ten (10) days’ prior
notice in all other cases. Landlord may enter the Leased Premises at any time
to cure any default without incurring any liability to Tenant, or anyone
claiming through or under Tenant, and any costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in so carrying out Tenant’s obligations shall be paid immediately by
Tenant as Additional Rent upon demand by Landlord.

          20.       INDEMNITY
BY TENANT.

          To
the maximum extent permitted by law. Tenant will indemnify, hold harmless, and
(at Landlord’s option) defend Landlord, its agents, servants, and employees
from and against all claims, actions, losses, costs, and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, settlement payments, and, whether or not reduced
to final judgment, all liabilities, damages, or fines paid, incurred, or
suffered by Landlord in connection with or arising from (a) any default by
Tenant under the terms of this Lease, (b) the use or occupancy of the Leased
Premises and at the Common Areas by Tenant or any person claiming through or
under Tenant, or (c) any acts or omissions of Tenant or any contractor, agent,
employee, invitee, or licensee of Tenant in or about the Leased Premises or the
Office Building.

          21.     LIMITATION
OF LANDLORD LIABILITY.

          The
term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall mean only the owner or the
Mortgagee or its trustees, as the case may be, then in possession of the Office
Building so that in the event of any transfer by Landlord of its interest in the
Office Building, the Landlord in possession immediately prior to such transfer
shall be, and is, entirely released and discharged from all covenants,
obligations, and liabilities of Landlord under this Lease. If Tenant obtains a
money judgment against Landlord, any of its partners, or its successors or
assignees under any provisions of, or with respect this Lease, or on account of
any matter, condition or circumstance arising out of the relationship of the
parties under this Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the Office Building or
Landlord’s ownership of the Office Building, Tenant shall be entitled to
execute upon such judgment only upon Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises
(whichever is applicable) and not out of any other assets of Landlord, any of its
partners, or its successors or assignees;

- 21 -

and Landlord shall be
entitled to have any such judgment so qualified so as to constitute a lien only
on such estate of Landlord, subject to any liens antedating such judgment;
provided, however, that this sentence shall be inapplicable to the extent that
the judgment against Landlord is covered by insurance.

          23.     ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING.

          Tenant
agrees for itself and its permitted successors and assigns in interest that it
will not (i) assign or otherwise transfer, mortgage, or otherwise encumber this
lease or any of its rights under this Lease; (ii) sublet the Leased Premises or
any part of them or permit the occupancy or use of the Leased Premises or any
part of them by any person other than Tenant; or (iii) permit the assignment or
other transfer of this Lease or any of Tenant’s rights under it by operation of
law (each of the events referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) being referred to as a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of
Landlord in each instance first obtained, which consent may be given or
withheld in the Landlord’s sole discretion, and any consent given shall not
constitute a consent to any later Transfer. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s
consent shall be void and shall not confer any rights upon any purported
transferee, assignee, mortgagee, sublessee, or occupant. No Transfer,
regardless of whether Landlord’s consent has been granted or withheld, shall be
deemed to release Tenant from any of its obligations or to alter, impair, or
release the obligations of any person guaranteeing the obligations of Tenant.

          If
Tenant is a corporation, the stock of which is not publicly traded, any
transfer of Tenant’s issued and outstanding capital stock or any issuance of
additional capital stock, as a result of which the majority of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Tenant is held by a corporation, firm, or person
or persons who do not hold a majority of the outstanding capital stock as of
the date of this Lease, shall be deemed a prohibited Transfer under this
Section 23. Further, if Tenant is a partnership, any Transfer of any interest
in the partnership or any other change in the composition of the partnership,
which results in a change in management of Tenant from the person or persons
managing the partnership as of the date of this Lease, shall be deemed a
prohibited Transfer under this Section 23.

          If
Landlord consents to a Transfer of this Lease and the amount of the rents (or
other compensation) to be paid to the Tenant by any such transferee is greater
per square foot than the rents required to be paid by the Tenant to the
Landlord pursuant to this Lease or a premium is to be paid to Tenant for an
assignment of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such excess or any
such premium, as the case may be, upon receipt by Tenant from such transferees.

          Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 23, in the event that, at any time and from
time to time before to or during the Term of this Lease, Tenant desires to
Transfer this Lease in whole or in part. Tenant shall submit to Landlord (i) in
writing, the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, a
reasonably detailed statement of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s
business and reasonably detailed financial references and information
concerning

- 22 -

the financial condition
of the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (ii) a fully-executed copy of the
final proposed sublease or assignment, the effective date of which shall be at
least thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant shall have furnished
Landlord with all of the information required pursuant to (i) above and which
shall be conditioned on Landlord’s consent to it and (iii) an agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Landlord by Tenant to indemnify Landlord against
liability resulting from any claim made against Landlord by the proposed
assignee or subtenant or by any broker claiming a commission in connection with
the proposed Transfer. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord all costs incurred by
Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed Transfer, including, without
limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of a
proposed subtenant or assignee and legal costs incurred in connection with any
requested consent.

          No
transfer consented to by Landlord shall be valid unless Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, with ten (10) days after Landlord’s written consent has been
received, a duplicate original sublease, duly executed by Tenant, as the case
may be, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, and in case of an
assignment, an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, duly
executed by the assignee and the Tenant, in which such assignee shall agree to
assume, observe, perform, and to be personally bound by, all of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease and the Tenant shall agree to remain primarily
liable for such obligations.

          Any
levy or sale in execution of a judgment or any assignment of sale in
bankruptcy, or insolvency, or the appointment of a receiver or Trustee by a
state or federal court shall be deemed a Transfer within the meaning and terms
of this Section 23 shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.

          24.     HOLDING
OVER.

          Tenant
agrees to vacate the Leased Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease, and
Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of all summary proceedings to recover
possession of the Leased Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease, as if
statutory notice had been given. If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased
Premises after the expiration of the Term of this Lease, such action shall not
renew this Lease by operation of law and nothing in this Lease shall be deemed
as a consent by Landlord to Tenant’s remaining in the Leased Premises. If
Tenant fails to vacate the Leased Premises as required, Landlord may consider
Tenant either: (i) a “Tenant-at-Will” liable for the payment rent at the ten
market rate as determined by Landlord or (ii) as a “Tenant-Holding Over” liable
for an amount equal to the actual damages incurred by Landlord as a result of
Tenant’s holding over, including, without limitation, all incidental
prospective and consequential damages and attorney’s fees, but in no event
shall such amount be less than 200% of Basic Rent then payable and all other
Additional Rent reserved applicable to the period of the holdover. In either
event, all other covenants of this Lease shall remain in effect.

- 23 -

          25.     SUBORDINATION
AND ATTORNMENT.

          This
Lease is subject and subordinate to the liens of all Mortgages, deeds of trust
and other security instruments placed upon the Office Building or the land on
which the Office Building sits or any portion of them and all ground and other
underlying leases from which Landlord’s interest, is derived (said Mortgages,
deeds of trust, other security instruments, and ground leases being referred to
as “Mortgage” or “Mortgages” and the mortgagees, beneficiaries secured parties,
and ground lessors, from time to time being call the “Mortgagee” or
“Mortgagees”), and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, or refinancing.
Tenant agrees that, if any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any
of the Mortgages. Tenant if requested to do so by the purchaser at the
foreclosure sale, shall attorn to the purchaser recognize the purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease, and make all payments required under this Lease to
such new Landlord without any deduction or set-off of any kind whatsoever.
Tenant waives the provisions of any law or regulation, now or hereafter in
effect, which may give, or purport to give, Tenant any right to terminate this
Lease or to alter the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event that any
such foreclosure or termination or other proceeding is prosecuted or completed.
If requested by Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall promptly execute any
certificate or document in such form and substance as may be determined by
Landlord or such Mortgagee confirming the subordination and attornment
provisions contained in this Section 25 and such other matters required by such
Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 25 to the
contrary, any mortgagee may at any time subordinate the lien of its Mortgage to
the operation and effect of this Lease without obtaining the Tenant’s consent,
by giving the Tenant written notice, in which event this Lease shall be deemed
to be senior to such Mortgage without regard to the respective dates of
execution or recordation of such Mortgage and this Lease and such Mortgagee
shall have the same rights as to this Lease as it would have had were this
Lease executed and delivered before the execution of such Mortgage.

          26.     ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES.

          Tenant
shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days
after receipt of request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to
Landlord a written estoppel certificate, in form and substance as may be
determined by Landlord, certifying to Landlord, its Mortgagees, any purchaser
of Landlord’s interest in the Building, or any other person designated by
Landlord, as of the date of such estoppel certificate, the following: (i)
whether Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises; (ii) whether this Lease
is in full effect; (iii) whether there have been any amendments to this Lease,
and if so, specifying such amendments; (iv) whether there are then existing any
set-off or defenses against the enforcement of any rights under this Lease, and
if so, specifying such matters in detail; (v) the dates, if any, to which any
rent or other charges have been paid in advance and the amount of any Security
Deposit held by Landlord; (vi) that Tenant has no knowledge of any then
existing defaults of Landlord under this Lease, or if there are such defaults,
specifying them in detail; (vii) that Tenant has now knowledge of any event
having occurred that authorizes that authorizes the termination of the

Lease by Tenant, or if
such event has occurred, specifying it in detail; (viii) the address to which
notices to Tenant under this Lease should be sent; and (ix) such other items
and matters as may be required by Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagees. Any such
certificate may be relied upon by the person or entity to whom it is directed
or by any other person or entity who could reasonably be expected to rely on it
in the normal course of business. The failure of Tenant to execute,
acknowledge, and deliver such a certificate in accordance with this Section 26
within ten (10) days after a request by Landlord shall constitute an
acknowledgment by Tenant, which may be relied on by any person who would be
entitled to rely upon any such certificates, that such certificate as submitted
by Landlord to Tenant is correct.

          27.     FORCE
MAJEURE. 

          Landlord

governmental laws and regulations, failure of governmental bodies to issue
necessary certificates and permits, riots, insurrections, war, fuel shortages,

any other memorandum of this Lease without the prior written consent of the
other party, and, in the event such consent is given, the party requesting such
consent and recording shall pay all transfer taxes, recording fees, and other
charges in connection with such recording. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant
covenants that if at any time any Mortgagee shall require the recordation of
this Lease, or if the recordation of this Lease shall be required by any valid
governmental order, or if any governmental authority having jurisdiction in the
matter shall assess and be entitled to collect transfer taxes, documentary
stamp taxes, or both, on this Lease, Tenant, upon the request of Landlord, will
execute such instruments, including a Memorandum of this Lease, as may be
necessary to record this Lease, and pay all recording fees, transfer taxes, and
