Lessee and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
the Term of the Lease shall commence on delivery. If Lessor, for any reason,
cannot deliver the Premises to Lessee on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall
not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any loss or
damage resulting from nondelivery, but in that event the Rent Commencement Date

Date and the time when Lessor delivers the Premises to Lessee. No delay in

B. Lessee may enter the Premises in order to install Tenant's data
system and cabling and telephone wiring thirty (30) days prior to the Lease

for Tenant's early entry if Tenant's activities or workers unreasonably
interfere with the completion of Lessor's work.
Section 4. Rental.
For Suite 350, beginning on the Commencement Date, Lessee agrees to pay
to Lessor as Base Rent, without notice or demand, Thirty Four Dollars ($34.00)
per rentable square foot of the Premises computed on an annual basis for the
first year as follows:
$12,918 per month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and
continuing for the first twelve (12) months.
Rent Adjustments
(a) The rent adjustments in the second year commencing twelve (12)
months after the Rent Commencement Date and continuing for the next twelve (12)
months shall be as follows:
Second Year the sum of $35.02 per rentable square foot or $12,925 per
month, and the third year $36.07 per rentable square foot or $13,313 per month,
and the fourth year $37.15 per rentable square foot or 13,711 per month, and the
fifth year $38.27 per rentable square foot or $14,125 per month.
(a) (1) For Suite 250, beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Lessee
agrees to pay Lessor as Base Rent, without notice or demand,
5
<PAGE>
Thirty Dollars ($30.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises computed on an
annual basis for the entire Term of the Lease as follows:
$11,238 per month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and
continuing for the entire Term of the Lease.
(b) Lessee shall pay to Lessor throughout the Term as rental for the
Premises Additional Rent in an amount equal to Lessee's share, which equals
22.4%, of the total dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses paid or
incurred by Lessor over the Base Operating Expenses, and also Lessee's share of
the total dollar increase, if any, in Property Taxes paid by Lessor in that year
over the Base Property Taxes. The increased rental due pursuant to this Section
4 is the Additional Rent.
(c) Rental shall be paid to Lessor, in advance, on or before the first
day of the Term of this Lease and on or before the first day of each successive
calendar month during the Term of this Lease. In the event the Term of this
Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on
a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly rental for the
first and last fractional months of the Term of this Lease shall be
appropriately prorated.
(d) All sums of money due to Lessor under this Lease, not specifically
characterized as rental, shall constitute additional rent and shall be due
within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of a billing. If any sum is not
paid when due, it shall be collectible as additional rent with the next
installment of rental falling due. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any sum of money at the time it
becomes due and payable under this Lease, or to limit any other remedy of
Lessor.
(e) Lessee acknowledges that late payment of rent and other sums due
under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable cure period under this
Lease will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact
amount of which will be difficult to ascertain. These costs include, but are not
limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be
imposed on Lessor by the terms of any trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sums due from Lessee are
not received when due, or if a cure period is applicable under this Lease, prior
to the expiration of the cure period, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that the
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will
incur because of late payment. Acceptance of the late charge by Lessor shall not
constitute a waiver of Lessee's default for the overdue amount, nor prevent
Lessor from exercising the other rights and remedies granted under this Lease.
6
<PAGE>
(f) Any amount due to Lessor, if not paid within five (5) days
following the due date, will bear interest from the due date until paid at the
rate of ten percent (10%) per year or, if a higher rate is legally permissible,
at the highest rate legally permitted. However, interest shall not be payable on
late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any amounts on which late charges are
paid by Lessee to the extent this interest would cause the total interest to be
in excess of that legally permitted. Payment of interest shall not excuse or
cure any default by Lessee.
(g) All payments due shall be paid to Lessor, without deduction or
offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at Lessor's address for
notices under this Lease or to another person or at another place as Lessor may
designate by notice to Lessee.
Section 5. Additional Rent
Additional Rent shall be paid monthly on an estimated basis, with
subsequent annual reconciliation, in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) No later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Base Year
and no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of each subsequent calendar
year, or as soon after that time as practicable, Lessor shall give Lessee notice
of Lessor's estimate of any Additional Rent due under Section 4(a) for the
ensuing calendar year, together with supporting documentation and calculations
therefor. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar
year, Lessee shall pay to Lessor one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated
Additional Rent. If Lessor fails to give notice as required in this Section,
Lessee shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year's estimate until the
month after that notice is given. If at any time it appears to Lessor that the
Additional Rent for the current calendar year will vary from the estimate by
more than five percent (5%), Lessor shall, by notice to Lessee, revise the
estimate for that year, and subsequent payments by Lessee for that year shall be
based on the revised estimate.
(b) Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year, or
as soon after the ninety (90) day period as practicable, Lessor shall deliver to
Lessee a statement of the actual Additional Rent for that calendar year,
accompanied by a statement from certified public accountants for the Building
showing Operating Expenses and Property Taxes on the basis of which the actual
Additional Rent was determined. At Lessee's request, Lessor shall provide Lessee
reasonable supporting detail underlying the calculations of Operating Expenses
and Property Taxes. If Lessor's statement discloses that Lessee owes an amount
that is less than the estimated payments for the calendar year previously
7
<PAGE>
made by Lessee, Lessor shall credit the excess first against any sums then owed
by Lessee, and then against the next payments of rental due or refunded to
Lessee if the Term has ended. If Lessor's statement discloses that Lessee owes
an amount that is more than the estimated payments for the calendar year
previously made by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the deficiency to Lessor within
thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.
(c) The amount of Additional Rent for any fractional year in the Term
shall be appropriately prorated. The proration of Operating Expenses for the
calendar year in which termination occurs shall be calculated on the basis of a
fraction of the Operating Expenses for that entire calendar year; the proration
of Property Taxes for the calendar year in which termination occurs shall be
calculated on the basis of a fraction of the Property Taxes for that entire
calendar year, but shall exclude any Property Taxes attributable to any increase
in the assessed valuation of the Building occurring after termination. The
termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of the parties
pursuant to Section 5(b) to be performed after the termination.
Section 6. Use.
The Premises shall be used for general office purposes and other administrative
activities and for no other. Lessee shall be allowed access to the Building and
Premises on a twenty-four hours per day, seven day per week basis. Lessee shall
not do or permit to be done on the Premises, nor bring or keep or permit to be
brought or kept in the Premises, anything (a) which is prohibited by or in
conflict with any law, ordinance, or governmental rule or, (b) which is
prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy or, (c) which will
increase the existing rate of or affect fire or other insurance on the Building
or its contents or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the
Building or any part of it or its contents; provided, however, if Lessee's use
of the Premises is the cause of an increase in the rate charged for Lessor's
casualty policy(ies) for the Property, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder
if Lessee pays to Lessor the additional insurance premium therefor. Lessee shall
not use or store in the Premises any hazardous or toxic substances, with the
sole exception of reasonably necessary substances that are kept in reasonably
necessary quantities for normal office operations, provided that their use and
storage are in accordance with applicable laws. Lessee shall not do or permit
anything to be done on the Premises that will obstruct or interfere with the
rights of other Lessees of the Building, or injure or annoy them, or use or
allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purposes, nor shall Lessee cause,
maintain, or permit any nuisance or waste on or about the Premises.
8
<PAGE>
Section 7. Services.
(a) Lessor shall maintain the public and Common Areas of the Building,
including lobbies, stairs, elevators, corridors, restrooms, windows, the
mechanical, plumbing, and electrical equipment serving the Building, and the
structure itself, in reasonably good order and condition, and shall provide
janitorial services for the Premises, so as to meet the reasonable needs of
Lessee, except for damage, excluding normal wear and tear, caused by the Lessee.
Damage by Lessee shall be repaired by Lessor at Lessee's expense.
(b) Lessor shall furnish lighting replacement for building standard
lights and window washing with reasonable frequency.
(c) Lessor shall not be in default under this Lease, nor be liable for
any damages resulting from (i) the installation, use, or interruption of use of
any equipment in connection with furnishing the previously listed services, (ii)
failure to furnish or delay in furnishing these services, when failure or delay
is caused by accident or conditions beyond the reasonable control of Lessor or
by necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building, or
(iii) the limitation, curtailment, rationing, or restrictions on use of water,
electricity, gas, or any other form of energy serving the Premises or the
Building; provided, however, if any of the foregoing occur and continues for
more than ten (10) consecutive days after Lessor's receipt of notice thereof
from Lessee, Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Premises shall abate from and
after the end of such ten (10)-day period during the remaining period of such
activity in the proportion that the Rentable Area of Lessee's premises which
Lessee is prevented from using, and does not use as a result of the foregoing,
bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises. Lessor shall use reasonable
efforts to diligently remedy interruptions in the furnishing of these services.
If the foregoing extends for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, Lessee may
terminate the Lease any time thereafter due to the continuation of such
situation upon five (5) days prior written notice.
(d) If Lessor, at Lessee's request, provides services to Lessee that
are not otherwise provided for in this Lease, Lessee shall pay Lessor's
reasonable charges for these services on billing of Lessor.
(e) Lessee shall provide electrical service at its own cost.
Section 8. Impositions.
In addition to the monthly rental and other charges to be paid by
Lessee under this Lease, Lessee shall pay Lessor for all of the following
items (collectively, Impositions), which are imposed on
9
<PAGE>
Lessor during the Term and relate directly to the operation of the Property and
not its development: (i) taxes, other than local, state, and federal personal or
corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Lessor; (ii) assessments,
including without limitation, all assessments for public improvements, services,
or benefits, irrespective of when commenced or completed; (iii) excises; (iv)
levies; (v) business taxes; (vi) license, permit, inspection, and other
authorization fees; (vii) transit development fees; (viii) assessments or
charges for housing funds; (ix) service payments in lieu of taxes and; (x) any
other fees or charges that are levied, assessed, confirmed, or imposed by a
public authority; provided, however, that Impositions shall not include amounts
otherwise included in Operating Expenses or Property Taxes. Lessee is obligated
to pay only to the extent that the Impositions are directly (a) imposed on,
measured by, or reasonably attributable to, the cost or value of Lessee's
equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located in the
Premises; (b) based on or measured by the monthly rental or other charges
payable under this Lease, including without limitation, any gross receipts tax
levied by a municipality, the State of California, the Federal Government, or
any other governmental body with respect to the receipt of the rental; (c) based
on the development, possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by Lessee of the Premises or any portion
of the Premises; or (d) on this transaction or any document to which Lessee is a
party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it
is unlawful for Lessee to reimburse Lessor for the Impositions, but lawful to
increase the monthly rental to take into account Lessor's payment of the
Impositions, the monthly rental payable to Lessor shall be revised to net Lessor
the same net return without reimbursement of the Impositions as would have been
received by Lessor with reimbursement of the Impositions.
Section 9. Alterations.
(a) Lessee shall not make or allow any alterations, additions, or
improvements to the Premises after the Lease Commencement Date or any part of
the Premises (collectively, Alterations), without Lessor's prior consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The installation of furnishings, fixtures,
equipment, or decorative improvements, none of which shall affect Building
systems or the structure of the Building, and the repainting or recarpeting of
the Premises, shall not constitute Alterations. All Alterations shall be made by
Lessor for Lessee's account, including increased costs, if any, in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section. All Alterations shall immediately
become Lessor's property and, at the end of the Term, shall remain on the
Premises without compensation to Lessee, unless Lessor elects by notice to
Lessee to have Lessee remove any Alterations that are peculiar to Lessee's use
of the Premises and are not normally required or of benefit for general office
use. When
10
<PAGE>
plans and specifications for any Alterations are approved by Lessor pursuant to
Section 9(b), Lessor shall advise Lessee on request whether proposed Alterations
would entitle Lessor to require their removal and restoration of the Premises at
the end of the Term. In this event, Lessee shall bear the cost of removing the
Alterations so identified and restoring the Premises to their condition prior to
the installment of the Alterations. Lessee may make an aggregate of FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($15,000) worth of non-structural Alterations per calendar year
without obtaining the consent of Lessor, and without the necessity of compliance
with Sections (b) through (f) below.
(b) Plans and specifications for Alterations shall be prepared at
Lessee's expense by Lessee's architect, or by Lessor's architect if Lessee so
elects, and by engineers reasonably approved by Lessor, where the nature of the
Alterations requires mechanical or electrical engineering services. Any
architect retained by Lessee shall be instructed to follow standard construction
administration procedures and use standard specifications and details reasonably
promulgated by Lessor for the Building. The plans and specifications shall be
subject to approval by Lessor and Lessee, and shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed by either party. Plans and specifications that have neither been
approved nor disapproved by Lessor within fifteen (15) days after submittal by
Lessee shall be deemed to have been approved. Following approval, Lessor shall
obtain cost quotations for the Alterations from one or more general contractors
approved by Lessor, including any general contractors requested by Lessee that
Lessor has reasonably approved. Lessee may specify subcontractors in the finish
trades to be included in the general contractors' bids. Lessor shall submit the
quotations to Lessee, accept the quotation approved by Lessee, and then contract
for the construction or installation of the Alterations with the contractor
approved by Lessee. Lessor does not warrant the cost of the Alterations, the
timeliness of performance, nor the quality of the contractor's work, but Lessor
shall use reasonable best efforts to secure performance of the construction
contract by the contractor for Lessee's benefit.
(c) In the event Lessee instructs Lessor or the contractor to proceed
with any changes to the Alterations without a prior determination of increased
costs resulting from those changes and without approval of the increases by
Lessee, or in the event Lessee is responsible for increased costs attributable
to a delay or acceleration in the time for construction, the amount of any
increased costs shall be reasonably determined by Lessor on completion of the
Alterations, subject only to Lessor's reasonable efforts in causing the
contractor to furnish Lessee appropriate back-up information concerning
increased costs, if any.
(d) The cost of the Alterations to be paid by Lessee shall include a
reasonable charge not to exceed actual third party costs plus fifteen
11
<PAGE>
percent (15%) for the administration, by Lessor or an agent, of the construction
or installation of the Alterations, the amount of which shall bear a reasonable
relationship to the scope of the Alterations and the costs of performing the
administration.
(e) Lessee shall pay to Lessor all amounts payable by Lessee pursuant
to this Section after billing by Lessor on monthly progress payments to the
contractor. Billing may be in advance of or during the progress of the
Alterations to enable Lessor to pay the contractor, architect, or engineer
without advancing Lessor's own funds. At Lessee's request, Lessor shall furnish
a copy of each bill to Lessee for Lessee's approval at least ten (10) days prior
to the due date of the bill. Lessee may contest any payment to a contractor for
Alterations and Lessor shall withhold this payment, provided that the provisions
of Section 10 are satisfied and Lessee indemnifies and defends Lessor against
all claims and liability arising out of the contested payment. At Lessor's
option and prior to commencement of Alterations, Lessee shall provide reasonable
written evidence of the availability of funds to complete such Alterations.
(f) Lessor may delegate some or all authority and responsibilities
under this Section to a manager, but such delegation shall not relieve Lessor of
its obligations under this Section.
(g) Lessee may elect to use non-union labor to make any Alterations
allowed herein provided that access to or through the Building or its common
areas is not obstructed, and that there is no interference either with other
lessees' use of their premises or with any other work being undertaken in the
Building. Lessee shall take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that
labor peace is maintained at all times.
Section 10. Liens.
Lessee shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred
by Lessee. Lessor may have posted on the Premises any notices that may be
provided by law or that Lessor may deem proper for the protection of Lessor, the
Premises, and the Building from those liens. Lessee may contest any lien for
which Lessee is responsible under this Section, provided that Lessee shall have
caused the lien to be bonded against.
Section 11. Repairs.
Lessee accepts the Premises as being in the condition in which Lessor
is obligated to deliver the Premises, subject to the completion of Lessee
improvements, if any, that Lessor has agreed to make. At all
12
<PAGE>
times during the term of this Lease and at Lessee's sole cost, Lessee shall keep
the Premises in good condition and repair; ordinary wear and tear and damage to
the Premises by fire, earthquake, or act of God or the elements are excepted.
Lessee waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Lessor or instead to
vacate the Premises, and Lessee further waives the provisions of Civil Code
Sections 1941 and 1942 with respect to Lessor's obligations under this Lease. At
the end of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender to Lessor the Premises
and all Alterations that are to remain in the Premises in the same condition as
when received; ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, or act of
God or the elements are excepted. Lessor has no obligation and has made no
promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or
any part of them, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. Lessor has
made no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the
Building, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.
Section 12. Damage or Destruction.
(a) In the event the Premises or any portion of the Building necessary
for Lessee's occupancy and enjoyment of the Premises and/or use of the Common
Areas are damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements, or other
casualty, within thirty (30) days after that event, Lessor shall notify Lessee
of the estimated time, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, required for repair or
restoration. If the estimated time is one hundred and eighty (180) days or less
after the commencement of the physical work and one (1) year or less after the
casualty event, Lessor shall proceed promptly and diligently to adjust the loss
with applicable insurers, to secure all required governmental permits and
approvals, and to repair or restore the Premises or the portion of the Building
necessary for Lessee's occupancy. This Lease shall remain in full force, except
that for the time unusable, Lessee shall receive a rental abatement for that
part of the Premises rendered unusable in the conduct of Lessee's business, or
while Lessee's access to the Premises is denied or blocked, while a significant
portion of the Common Areas are made unavailable to use by Lessee and its
employees, representatives and visitors, or while any Building systems or any
other services provided by Lessor are materially diminished or curtailed.
(b) If the estimated time for repair or restoration is in excess of one
hundred and eighty (180) days after the commencement of the physical work or one
(1) year after the casualty event, Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease as
of the date of the casualty event by giving notice to Lessor within fifteen (15)
days following receipt of Lessor's notice of the estimated time for repair. If
the estimated time is more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after
commencement of the physical work or one (1) year after the casualty event, but
Lessee has not elected to terminate this Lease, Lessor may elect, on notice
13
<PAGE>
to Lessee within twenty (20) days after the period for Lessee's election to
terminate has expired, to repair or restore the Premises or the portion of the
Building necessary for Lessee's occupancy. In that event, this Lease shall
continue in full force, but the rent shall be abated as provided above. If
Lessor does not elect to repair or restore, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of the casualty event. However, if Lessor has not commenced the physical
repair or restoration of the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary
for Lessee's occupancy within one (1) year from the casualty event, Lessee may
elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Lessor given at any time following
the expiration of one (1) year from the casualty event, but prior to the
commencement of the physical repair or restoration work.
(c) If the Premises or the Building are to be repaired or restored
under this Section, Lessor shall repair or restore at Lessor's cost the Building
itself and all improvements in the Premises, including but not limited to, any
Lessee improvements constructed pursuant to this Lease, but excluding
Alterations made by or for Lessee subsequent to completion of those Lessee
improvements. Lessee shall pay the cost of repairing or restoring any
Alterations made by or for Lessee subsequent to completion of the Lessee
improvements made pursuant to this Lease and shall be responsible for carrying
casualty insurance as Lessee deems appropriate for those Alterations.
(d) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises or the
Building, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that their respective rights and
obligations are to be governed exclusively by this Lease.
(e) In the event the Premises are to be repaired or restored and Lessee
requires temporary offices as a result of a casualty event affecting the
Premises, Lessor shall use best efforts to locate offices for Lessee within the
Building. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor makes no commitment as to the
availability of any offices or as to their cost.
Section 13. Insurance: Waiver of Subrogation.
(a) Insurance. Lessee, at Lessee's expense, shall maintain in full
force during the term hereof a policy or policies of commercial general
liability insurance insuring against claims and liability for personal injury
death and property damage arising in or about the Premises, the Building and
adjoining areas or ways, with a carrier or carriers acceptable to Lessor, and
which carrier or carriers in any event shall have a rating of not less than A
VII by Best's Insurance Guide and admitted in the State of California. Lessee's
liability coverage shall include all the coverages typically provided by the
Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability Endorsement. The liability under such
insurance shall not be less than FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00)
14
<PAGE>
combined single limit bodily injury and property damage. Such policy or policies
or policies of insurance shall (i) name Lessor and Lessee's lender as additional
insureds, (ii) be nonassessable; primary and noncontributory and any policies
carried by Lessor, and (iii) provide that the same may not be canceled or
materially amended except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor.
Lessee at all times shall maintain with Lessor a current certificate or
certificates of said policy or policies.
(b) Subrogation. Each party hereby waives and releases all claims which
it may have against the other party, and its employees, officers, directors,
contractors, representatives, agents and visitors (collectively "Releasees") for
damage to or loss of any real and personal property owned by such party or death
or bodily injury occasioned by the act or omission of any Releasee of the other
party. Furthermore, to the extent available without material incremental
premium, each party shall obtain from its insurers under all policies of
property insurance maintained by such party at any time during the term hereof
insuring or covering the Premises, the Building or any portion thereof or
operations therein, a waiver of all rights of Subrogation which the insurer
might have against the other party, and each party shall indemnify the other
party against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
resulting from the failure to obtain such waiver to the extent the same is also
available.
(c) Lessor's Insurance. During the Term, Lessor shall maintain in
effect insurance on the Building against "broad form" perils with insurers
admitted in California having a rating classification of "A" or better and
financial size category ratings of "VII" or better according to the latest
edition of the A.M. Best Key Rating Guide, insuring the Building and the Lessee
Improvements in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the
replacement cost thereof, excluding land, foundations, footings and underground
installations, as reasonably estimated by Lessor. Lessor may, but shall not be
obligated to carry, insurance against additional perils and/or in greater
amounts. During the Term, Lessor covenants that at it will maintain
comprehensive general liability insurance with broad form extended coverage,
including contractual liability insurance against claims occurring upon, in or
about the Building with a minimum coverage of combined single limit of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000), which coverage, if requested, will provide that no
material change or cancellation shall be made without thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lessee. Lessor shall provide Lessee upon written request with
current certificates evidencing these coverages.
Section 14. Indemnification.
Lessee waives all claims against Lessor for damage to any property or
injury or death of any person on the Premises arising at any time
15
<PAGE>
and from any cause other than the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or
Lessor's employees, agents, or contractors. Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless
from and defend Lessor against all claims, liability, damage, or loss arising
out of any claims by third parties for injury or death of any person or damage
to or destruction of their property asserted against Lessor attributable to the
use of the Premises by Lessee, except that caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Lessor or Lessor's agents, contractors, or employees. Lessee shall
also hold Lessor harmless from any liability, cost, or expense arising from
Lessee's use or storage in the Premises of any hazardous or toxic substance
permitted or not under this Lease. Lessor shall hold Lessee harmless from and
defend Lessee against all claims, liability, damage, or loss arising out of any
claims by third parties for injury or death of any person or damage to or
destruction of their property asserted against Lessee attributable to Lessor's
failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or at law respecting the
Common Areas, except that caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Lessee, or Lessee's agents, contractors or employees. These indemnity
obligations shall include reasonable attorney fees, investigation costs, and all
other reasonable costs incurred by either party from the first notice that any
claim or demand is to be made or may be made. Lessor or Lessee shall promptly
give notice to the other of any claim or demand. The provisions of this Section
shall survive the termination of this Lease for any event occurring prior to the
termination. The provisions of this Section to indemnify and hold Lessor or
Lessee harmless are limited to the amount of loss that is not paid to Lessor or
Lessee out of insurance proceeds, if any.
Section 15. Compliance with Legal Requirements.
At Lessee's sole cost, Lessee shall promptly comply with all laws and
governmental rules now or later in force; with the requirements of any board of
fire underwriters or other similar body now or in the future constituted; with
any direction or occupancy certificate issued by public officers (Legal
Requirements), insofar as they relate to the condition, use, or occupancy of the
Premises. Excluded are any obligation to cause to be made any (a) structural
changes or changes to the electrical, mechanical, or plumbing systems or other
common Building systems and the Common Areas of the Building, except to the
extent necessitated by Lessee's acts or by improvements made for Lessee (other
than the Lessee Improvements to be made pursuant to this Lease by Lessor, if
any); (b) alterations or improvements to the Building as a whole or the Premises
of lessees generally that are not by law the lessees' sole responsibility with
which to comply; and (c) work necessitated by defects in the construction of the
Building. In no event shall Lessee be required to correct any violations of
legal requirements in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building if such
violation is in existence on or prior to the Commencement Date. Lessor shall
comply at its cost in a timely manner with all Legal Requirements
16
<PAGE>
that are not Lessee's responsibility under this Section to the extent
noncompliance would adversely affect Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises.
Section 16. Assignment and Subletting.
Lessor's Consent Required.
Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Lessee's
interest in the Lease or in the Premises, without Lessor's prior written
consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, or subletting without such consent
shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this Lease without the need for
notice to Lessee under Section 16.1. Any sale or other transfer, including by
consolidation, merger, or reorganization, of a majority of the voting stock of a
Lessee, if Lessee is a corporation, or any sale or other transfer of a majority
of the partnership interest in Lessee, if Lessee is a partnership, shall be an
assignment for purposes of this Section 16.
Lessor shall approve or reject the transfer within ten (10) business
days of notice thereof and must state reasons for any disapproval. If Lessee
desires Lessor's consent to a transfer of all or any portion of the Premises,
Lessee shall submit to Lessor (a) the proposed sublease or assignment or other
transfer agreement, and (b) all other information which Lessor may reasonably
request including, without limitation, sufficient information to enable Lessor
to determine the character, quality, type of business, and financial
responsibility of the proposed transferee. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's
request for consent hereunder in a timely manner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor's consent shall not be required
in connection with any transfer of Lessee's stock or any merger or
reorganization of Lessee or any sale of substantially all of Lessee's assets, or
in connection with any assignment or sublet to an affiliate of Lessee, provided
that the net worth of Lessee's successor (immediately following any such
transaction of Lessee) or in the case of an assignment or sublet to an
affiliate, the net worth of such affiliate shall be equal to or greater than the
net worth of Lessee as of the date hereof, and provided that any such assignee
or transferee complies with the provisions of Section 48 of this Lease.
16.1 Terms and Conditions of Assignment.
Regardless of Leasor's consent, no assignment shall release Lessee of
Lessee's obligation hereunder or alter the primary liability of
17
<PAGE>
Lessee to pay the Base Rent and Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses, and to
perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder except to the
extent otherwise agreed in writing by Lessor. Lessor may accept rent from any
person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of such assignment.
Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the
acceptance of rent shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to
exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this
Section 16 of this Lease. Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent
to any subsequent assignment. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee
or any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof,
Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting
remedies against said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments of
this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of
Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without
obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee
of liability under this Lease. Lessee shall not unreasonably withhold the
approval of any modification or amendments agreed to by Sublessees, but no such
amendment or modification shall increase Lessee's obligations.
16.2 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:
(a) Lessee shall absolutely and unconditionally assign and transfer to
Lessor all of Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from such
sublease, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same toward
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, provided, however, that until a default
which has not been timely cured shall occur in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, Lessee shall have a license to receive, collect,
and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of
the assignment of such sublease or by reason of the collection of rents from a
sub-lessee, be deemed liable to the sub-lessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sub-lessee under
such sublease. Upon Lessor's demand Lessee shall irrevocably authorize and
direct any such sub-lessees, upon receipt by Lessee of a written notice from
Lessor stating that a default exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents due and to become due under the
sublease. Lessee agrees that such sub-lessee shall have the right to rely upon
any such statement and request from Lessor and that such sub-lessee shall pay
such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether
such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to
the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against such sub-lessee or
Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sub-lessee to Lessor upon Lessor's
proper demand.
18
<PAGE>
(b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless and
until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any sublease,
Lessee shall use only such form of sublease as is satisfactory to Lessor, and
once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without
Lessor's prior written consent which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Any sub-lessee shall, by reason of entering into a sublease under
this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to
confirm and comply with each and every obligation herein to be performed by
Lessee other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with
provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has expressly consented in
writing.
(c) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by
third parties, then a sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto, shall not be
effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease and
the terms thereof.
(d) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not release Lessee
from its obligations or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent
and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Lessee to be performed
under this Lease.
(e) Consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not constitute a consent
to any subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any assignment or subletting by the
sub-lessee. However, if an Event of Default by Lessee then exists, Lessor may
consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any
amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for the
performance of this Lease, including the sub-lessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation
to do so, may require any sub-lessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sub-lessee to Lessee or from any other prior defaults of Lessee
under such sublease, except that which is then held by Lessor.
19
<PAGE>
(h) Each and every consent required of Lessee under a sublease shall
also require the consent of Lessor.
(i) No sub-lessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(j) Lessor's written consent to any subletting of the Premises by
Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under
this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall such consent
be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise
stated by Lessor at the time.
(k) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor consents, Lessor
agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the sub-lessee
and such sub-lessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within ten
(10) days after service of said notice of default upon such sub-lessee, and the
sub-lessee shall have a right of reimbursement from and against Lessee for any
such defaults cured by the sub-lessee.
16.3 Additional Rent Due on Assignment or Subletting.
If at any time during the initial Term or any extended Term hereof,
Lessee shall assign all or part of its interest hereunder or shall sublet all or
any portion of the Premises, Lessee shall be obligated to pay Lessor additional
rental as follows: If for any proposed assignment or sublease Lessee receives
rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of such
assignment or sublease, in excess of the Base Rent and other sums then required
to be paid by Lessee hereunder (including percentage rent, if any), or in the
case of a sublease of a portion of the Premises in excess of the Base Rent
allocable to such portion based solely on a rentable square footage basis, after
appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments required to be made by
Lessee hereunder are taken into account. Subject to the provisions of Section 16
above, Lessee shall promptly pay to the Lessor as additional rent fifty percent
(50%) of (a) such excess less, (b) reasonable attorney's fees, brokerage
commissions and lessee improvement costs (including reimbursement for
unamortized lessee improvements previously installed in the Premises at Lessee's
cost) incurred by Lessee in connection with such sublease or assignment. Such
Lessee costs shall not exceed Ten Dollars ($10.00) per square foot to determine
the amount to be paid to Lessor. Said additional sum shall be payable by Lessee
within five (5) days after receipt thereof.
20
<PAGE>
16.4 Attorney fees.
In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the premises or request the
consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if Lessee shall request the
consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do then Lessee shall pay
Lessor's reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with reviewing and
preparing any documentation therefor, but not to exceed $2,500.
Section 17. Entry by Lessor.
Lessor may enter the Premises at reasonable hours and, except in the
event of an emergency, on reasonable prior notice, to (a) inspect the Premises;
(b) exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders, or Lessees (during
the last six (6) months of the Term only); (c) determine whether Lessee is
complying with all obligations under this Lease; (d) supply any services to be
provided by Lessor under this Lease; (e) post notices of nonresponsibility; and
(f) make repairs or perform maintenance required of Lessor by this Lease, make
repairs to any adjoining space or utility services, or make repairs,
alterations, or improvements to any other portion of the Building. However, all
this work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and cause as little
interference to Lessee as reasonably possible. Subject to Lessor undertaking
such actions as provided above in the previous sentence, Lessee waives any
damage claims for inconvenience to or interference with Lessee's business or
loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises caused by Lessor's entry
conducted in such manner. At all times Lessor shall have a key with which to
unlock the doors on the Premises, excluding Lessee's vaults, safes, and similar
areas designated as secure areas in writing by Lessee in advance. In an
emergency, Lessor shall have the right to use any means that Lessor deems proper
to open Lessee's doors and enter the Premises. Entry to the Premises by Lessor
in an emergency shall not be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry, a
detainer, or an actual or constructive eviction of Lessee, but Lessor shall
repair or otherwise reimburse Lessee for physical damage, if any, caused by such
entry.
Section 18. Events of Default.
The following events shall constitute events of default under this
Lease (each an Event of Default):
(a) a failure by Lessee to make a payment when due of any rent or other
sum payable under this Lease and the continuation of this failure for ten (10)
or more days after written notice of the default from Lessor, provided that if
Lessee has failed two (2) or more times in any twelve (12) months to pay any
rent or other sum when due and notice of this default has been given by Lessor
in each instance, no notice shall
21
<PAGE>
be required after this until the expiration of twelve (12) months in which all
rental and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid on or before the
date due;
(b) a default by Lessee in the performance of any of the terms,
covenants, agreements, or conditions in this Lease, other than a default by
Lessee in the payment when due of any rent or other sum payable under this
Lease, and the continuation of the default beyond thirty (30) days after written
notice by Lessor or, if the default is curable and would require more than
thirty (30) days to remedy, beyond the time reasonably necessary for cure;
provided, however that if Lessee has defaulted in the performance of the same
obligation two (2) or more times in twelve (12) months and notice of the default
has been given by Lessor in each instance, no notice shall be required after
this until the expiration of twelve (12) months without any default by Lessee;
(c) the bankruptcy or insolvency of Lessee, a transfer by Lessee in
fraud of creditors, an assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors, or the
commencement of proceedings of any kind by or against Lessee under the Federal
Bankruptcy Act or under any other insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization act,
unless Lessee is discharged from voluntary proceedings within ninety (90) days;
(d) the appointment of a receiver for a substantial part of Lessee's
assets;
(e) the abandonment of the Premises; and
(f) the levy upon this Lease or any estate of Lessee under this Lease
by attachment or execution and the failure to have the attachment or execution
vacated within thirty (30) days.
(g) If Lessor shall default in any of its obligations under this Lease
and such failure shall continue beyond the expiration of any applicable cure
period provided for such default herein or, in the absence of a stated cure
period for such default, for a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days
(or such additional period which may, with the exercise of diligence, be
required to cure the same, if the same cannot be cured within such thirty (30)
day period) or as may otherwise be provided herein, after written notice from
Lessee specifying the circumstances of such default, then Lessee shall have such
rights and remedies as are specifically provided in this Lease, and such
additional rights and remedies available at law and equity which are not
otherwise expressly waived by Lessee under this Lease.
(h) In any provision in this Lease where Lessor is permitted to take
action to remedy a default or event of default by Lessee, such default or event
of default shall mean an "Event of Default" as defined hereinabove.
22
<PAGE>
Section 19. Termination upon Default.
On occurrence of any Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor may, in
addition to any other rights and remedies given here or by law, terminate this
Lease and exercise remedies relating to it without further notice or demand in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) So long as the Event of Default remains uncured, Lessor shall have
the right to give notice of termination to Lessee, and on the date specified in
this notice, this Lease shall terminate.
(b) If this Lease is terminated, Lessor may, by judicial process,
reenter the Premises, remove all persons and property, and repossess and enjoy
the Premises, all without prejudice to other remedies that Lessor may have
because of Lessee's default or the termination.
(c) If this Lease is terminated, Lessor shall have all of the rights
and remedies of a Lessor provided by Civil Code ss. 1951.2, in addition to any
other rights and remedies Lessor may have. The damages which Lessor may recover
shall include, without limitation, (i) the worth at the time of award of 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 the award exceeds the amount of the
rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the
worth at the time of award computed by discounting the amount at the discount
rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one
percent (1%) of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term
after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss that Lessee proves
could be reasonably avoided; (iv) all reasonable legal expenses and other
related costs incurred by Lessor following Lessee's default; (v) all reasonable
costs incurred by Lessor in restoring the Premises to good order and condition
to relet the Premises; and (vi) all reasonable costs, including without
limitation, any market rate brokerage commissions incurred by Lessor in
reletting the Premises.
Section 20. Continuation after Default.
Even though Lessee has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises,
this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate
Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor may enforce all rights and remedies
under this Lease, including the right to recover the rental as it becomes due
under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the
Premises, or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Lessor to protect
Lessor's
23
<PAGE>
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of
Lessee's right to possession.
Section 21. Other Relief.
The remedies provided in this Lease are in addition to any other
remedies available to Lessor at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise.
Section 22. Right of Lessor to Cure Defaults.
Agreements and provisions to be performed by Lessee under this Lease
shall be at Lessee's sole cost and without abatement of rental, except as
specifically provided in this Lease. If Lessee (a) fails to pay any sum of
money, other than rental, required under this Lease, or (b) fails to perform any
other act under this Lease, and this failure continues for thirty (30) days
after notice of the failure by Lessor, or a longer period as may be allowed
under this Lease, Lessor may, without waiving or releasing Lessee from any
obligations of Lessee, make payment or perform other acts required by this Lease
on Lessee's behalf. All sums paid by Lessor and all necessary incidental costs
shall be payable to Lessor on demand and shall constitute additional rental
under this Lease.
Section 23. Attorney Fees.
If, as a result of a breach or default under this Lease, Lessor or
Lessee, except as otherwise provided herein, uses an attorney to secure
compliance with Lease provisions, to recover damages, to terminate this Lease,
or to evict Lessee, the prevailing party in any legal action or proceeding shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and expenses incurred by such
party.
Section 24. Eminent Domain.
If all or any part of the Premises are taken through eminent domain,
this Lease shall terminate for the part taken as of the date of taking. For a
partial taking, either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this
Lease for the balance of the Premises by notice to the other within thirty (30)
days after the taking. However, Lessee's right to terminate arises only if the
portion of the Premises taken substantially handicaps, impedes, or impairs
Lessee's use of the balance of the Premises. In the event of any taking, Lessor
shall be entitled to all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or any
interest that may be paid in connection with the taking, except for any portion
specifically awarded to Lessee for loss of good will, moving expenses, trade
fixtures, equipment, and any leasehold improvements in the Premises to the
extent of the then unamortized value of these
24
<PAGE>
improvements for the remaining term of the Lease as determined in the award.
However, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of any
unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise, other than for prepaid rent. In the
event of a partial taking of the Premises that does not result in a termination
of this Lease, the subsequent monthly rental shall be equitably reduced.
Section 25. Subordination.
(a) This Lease shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed
of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now existing or, subject to
the following, later placed upon the Building and to any advances made on the
security of it or Lessor's interest in it, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, and extensions of it. Lessee's covenant under
Section 25(a) to subordinate this Lease to any future ground lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, or other hypothecation later executed is conditioned on each such
instrument containing the commitments specified in subsection 25(b). However, if
any mortgagee, trustee, or ground lessor elects to have this Lease prior to the
lien of its mortgage or deed of trust or prior to its ground lease, and gives
notice of that to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to the mortgage, deed
of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to
the date of the mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the date of
recording of it. In the event any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease
is subordinate is foreclosed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the
mortgagee or beneficiary, Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser at the
foreclosure sale or to the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the
event of termination of any ground lease to which this Lease is subordinate,
Lessee shall attorn to the ground lessor. Lessee agrees to execute any
documents, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessee, required to
effectuate the subordination, to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage or deed of trust or ground lease, or to evidence the attornment.
(b) In the event any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease is
subordinate is foreclosed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the
mortgagee or beneficiary, or in the event any ground lease to which this Lease
is subordinate is terminated, this Lease shall not be barred, terminated, cut
off, or foreclosed. Neither shall the rights and possession of Lessee under this
Lease be disturbed, if Lessee is not then in default in the payment of rental
and other sums due under this Lease or otherwise in default under the terms of
this Lease, and if Lessee attorns to the purchaser, grantee, or ground lessor as
provided in Section 25(a) or, if requested, enters into a new lease for the
balance of the term of this Lease on the same terms and provisions contained in
this Lease.
25
<PAGE>
(c) Lessee agrees that Lessee shall not discriminate against or
segregate any person or group of persons on account of race, sex, creed, color,
marital status, sexual preference, national origin, or ancestry, in the
occupancy, use, sublease, tenure, or enjoyment of the Premises.
Section 26. No Merger.
The surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation of it,
shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any
existing subleases or sub-tenancies, or operate as an assignment to Lessor of
all subleases or sub-tenancies.
Section 27. Sale.
On a transfer of all of Lessor's interest in the Building and Real
Property and in this Lease, Lessor shall be released from all liability and
obligations under this Lease that accrue and pertain to events and conditions
first arising after the effective date of transfer ("Future Events"). With
respect to any liability or obligations of Lessor under this Lease which have
accrued and pertain to events and conditions first arising prior to the
effective date of the transfer ("Prior Events"), to the extent that a default
by Lessor is not claimed by Lessee in an estoppel certificate delivered by
Lessee upon Lessor's request in connection with such transfer pursuant to
Section 28 below, the same shall be released automatically by Lessee upon
completion of such transfer. All other liability and obligations of Lessor
respecting Prior Events shall not be released unless and until the transferee
agrees in writing, for the benefit of Lessee, to assume all of Lessor's
liability and obligations under this Lease pertaining to Prior Events and
delivers to Lessee written notification of such agreement. Upon receipt of
written notice and assumption of Lessor's liability and obligations under this
Lease for Future Events by such transferee, Lessee agrees to attorn to such
transferee.
Section 28. Estoppel Certificate.
Any time with at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice by
Lessor, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Lessor a certificate
in the form substantially the same as attached Exhibit D certifying to the
extent true and complete: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force, as
modified, together with the date and nature of each modification, (b) the amount
of the Base Rent, most recent Additional Rent, if any, and the date to which the
rent has been paid, (c) that no notice has been received by Lessee of any
default that has not been cured, except defaults specified in the certificate,
(d) that no default of Lessor is claimed by Lessee, except defaults specified in
the certificate, and (e) other matters as may be
26
<PAGE>
reasonably requested by Lessor. Any certificate may be relied on by the
prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or beneficiary under any deed of trust on the
Building or any part of it specified in such certificates. Lessee shall have the
right to obtain an estoppel certificate from Lessor within fifteen (15) days
following written request, certifying to such matters as may be reasonably
requested.
Section 29. Holding Over.
(a) If, without written objection by Lessor, Lessee holds possession of
the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall become a
Lessee from month-to-month on the terms specified in this Lease but at a monthly
rental equivalent to One Hundred Fifty percent (150%) of the then prevailing
monthly rental paid by Lessee at the expiration of the term of this Lease,
payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. Each party shall
give the other notice of intention to terminate the tenancy at least one (1)
month prior to the date of termination of a monthly tenancy.
(b) If, over written Lessor's objection, Lessee holds possession of the
Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or expiration of the
holdover tenancy, Lessee shall be deemed to be a Lessee-at-sufferance and,
without limiting the liability of Lessee for unauthorized occupancy of the
Premises, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor and any replacement Lessee with an
executed Lease for the Premises for any damages or loss suffered by either
Lessor or the replacement Lessee resulting from Lessee's failure to vacate the
Premises in a timely manner.
Section 30. Abandonment.
Lessee shall not vacate or abandon any part or all of the Premises. If
Lessee shall vacate, abandon, or surrender the premises, or be dispossessed by
process of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Lessee and left
on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of the Lessor,
except such property as may be mortgaged to Lessee.
Section 31. Security Deposit.
Lessee has deposited with Lessor the sum specified in the Basic Lease
Information (Deposit). The Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the
faithful performance by Lessee of all provisions of this Lease. If Lessee fails
to pay rent or other sums due under this Lease or defaults with respect to any
provision of this Lease, then upon Lessor's declaration of a default by Lessee
and the expiration of the applicable cure period with such default remaining
uncured, Lessor may use, apply, or retain all or any portion of the Deposit for
the
27
<PAGE>
payment of rent or other sums in default, for the payment of any other sums to
which Lessor may become obligated because of Lessee's default, or to compensate
Lessor for any loss or damage that Lessor may suffer because of the Lessee's
actions. If Lessor uses or applies the Deposit, Lessee shall, within ten (10)
days after written demand, deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to
restore the Deposit to the full amount, and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a
material breach of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Deposit
separate from Lessor's general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, the Deposit or the amount not applied by Lessor
shall be returned, without interest, to Lessee or at Lessor's option, to the
last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest under this Lease within two weeks
after the expiration of the Term and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No
trust relationship is created between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the
Deposit.
Section 32. Waiver.
The waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any agreement, condition, or
provision contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the agreement, condition, or provision or any other
agreement, condition, or provision contained in the Lease, nor shall any custom
or practice that may arise between the parties in the administration of the
terms of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen the right of Lessor or
Lessee to the performance by Lessor or Lessee in strict accordance with these
terms. The subsequent acceptance of rental under this Lease by Lessor shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by the other party of any
agreement, condition, or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of
Lessee to pay the particular accepted rental, regardless of knowledge of the
preceding breach at the time of the rental acceptance.
Section 33. Improvement Work

Thirty-five Dollars ($35) per rentable square foot of the Premises, or THREE
HUNDRED TWELVE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FORTY DOLLARS ($312,340.00) as Lessor's
total contribution to the cost of Lessee's Lessee improvements. Lessor's
approval of the Lessee improvements shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Lessee improvements' allowance may be used for both hard and soft costs
of said work. Any unused Lessee improvement dollars shall not be credited toward
any rent abatement. Lessee will pay all improvement expenses exceeding the sum
of THREE HUNDRED TWELVE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FORTY DOLLARS ($312,340.00).

<PAGE>
(b) Lessee shall maintain the L-C for the entire term of this Lease,
subject only to the reduction in the amount of the L-C or release of the L-C as
provided herein. The L-C shall expressly state that the L-C and the right to
draw thereunder may be transferred or assigned by Lessor to any successor or
assignee of Lessor under this Lease.
(c) The L-C issued by the L-C Bank shall provide that upon expiration
of the first year the L-C is in effect, the L-C shall be automatically extended
for additional consecutive one year terms if Lessor has not received by
certified mail notification of the L-C Bank's intention not to renew no less
than thirty (30) days prior to the original expiry date and each subsequent
expiry date. If the term of the L-C will expire prior to expiration of the Lease
Term, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a replacement L-C which satisfies the
conditions of this Section. If Lessee fails to cause the issuance of a
replacement L-C by an approved L-C Bank at provided herein, then Lessor shall
have the right to draw the full amount of the L-C at any time prior to the
expiration of the L-C and to hold and apply the proceeds from the L-C as an
additional cash Deposit under Section 31 hereof.
(d) Subject to sub-paragraph (g) hereinafter, if any Event of Default
by Lessee occurs under this Lease, then Lessor shall have the right at any time
thereafter, but shall not be obligated, to draw the full amount of the L-C and

Section 31 hereof.
(e) The L-C Amount shall be eliminated over a period of years by
reducing the L-C Amount on a straight-line basis in five (5) equal annual
installments, beginning on the first anniversary and ending on the 5th
anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date. If, on the date of any scheduled
reduction, Lessee is in default under this Lease, the L-C Amount shall not be
reduced on that date. If Lessee cures the default, the L-C Amount shall be
reduced on the date of that cure as if the default had not occurred. The L-C
shall be eliminated at the termination of the Lease.
(f) Lessee grants to Lessor a security interest in all proceeds of the
L-C to secure performance of all obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Lessee
may not assign, mortgage, or encumber the L-C without Lessor's consent. Any
attempt to do so shall be void and shall not be binding on Lessor. No trust
relationship is created between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the L-C.
32
<PAGE>
(g) In the event that Lessor shall draw the full amount of the L-C as
provided in sub-paragraph (d) above and Lessee shall thereafter cure all
defaults under the Lease, Lessor shall return said L-C Amount to Lessee provided
that Lessee shall replenish the L-C Amount (subject to the conditions as
provided in sub-paragraph (f) above.

(b) Lessee's Final Plans shall be subject to Lessor's approval within

As promptly as reasonably possible thereafter, Lessee shall submit to Lessor
plans and specifications incorporating the revisions required by Lessor. Said
