THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between BEL DE MAR, L.L.C.,
AN ARIZONA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, hereinafter referred to as "Landlord", and
LIMELIGHT NETWORKS, INC. A DELAWARE CORPORATION., hereinafter referred to as
"Tenant";
WITNESSETH:
1. PREMISES AND TERM. In consideration of the mutual obligations of Landlord and
Tenant set forth herein, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from
Landlord the Premises situated within the County of MARICOPA, State of ARIZONA,
more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference, (the "Premises"), together with all rights, privileges,
easements, appurtenances, and amenities belonging to or in any way pertaining to
the Premises, to have and to hold, subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease. The term of this Lease shall commence on the
commencement date hereinafter set forth and shall end on JANUARY 31, 2010. If
this Lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or otherwise available
and ready for occupancy, or if any present Tenant or occupant of the Premises
holds over, and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Premises prior to the
date recited as the commencement date of this Lease, Landlord shall not be
deemed in default hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the
Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same, which date shall
thenceforth be deemed the "commencement date", and Landlord hereby waives
payment of rent covering any period prior to the tendering of possession to
Tenant hereunder.
A. EXISTING BUILDING. If no improvements are to be constructed to the
Premises, the commencement date shall be FEBRUARY 1, 2005. Tenant acknowledges
that, (i) it has inspected and accepts the Premises, (ii) the buildings and
improvements comprising the same are suitable for the purpose for which the
Premises are leased, (iii) the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition,
and (iv) no representations as to the repair of the Premises, nor promises to
alter, remodel or improve the Premises have been made by Landlord (unless
otherwise set forth in the Lease). In no event shall Landlord be liable for any
defects in the Premises or for any limitation on its use. Upon request by
Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Letter of Acceptance of
delivery of the Premises.
B. BUILDING TO BE CONSTRUCTED OR SHELL SPACE. If the Premises or part
thereof are to be constructed, the commencement date shall be deemed to be the
sooner of the date upon which the Premises and other improvements to be erected
in accordance with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit "C"
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Plans") have been
substantially completed or the date upon which the Tenant takes occupancy. As
used herein, the term "substantially completed" shall mean, that in the opinion
of the architect or space planner that prepared the Plans, such improvements
have been completed in accordance with the Plans and the Premises are in good
and satisfactory condition, subject only to completion of minor punch list
items. As soon as such improvements have been substantially completed, Landlord
shall notify Tenant in writing that the commencement date has occurred. Within
ten (10) days thereafter, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing a punch
list of items needing completion or correction. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to complete such items within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such
notice. In the event Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors cause
construction of such improvements to be delayed, the commencement date shall be
deemed to be the date that, in the opinion of the architect or space planner
that prepared the Plans, substantial completion would have occurred if such
delays had not taken place. The taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed
to conclusively establish that the buildings and other improvements had been
completed in accordance with the Plans, that the Promises are in good and
satisfactory condition as of when possession was taken, and that Tenant has
accepted such buildings and other improvements without representation or
warrant) from Landlord. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord a Letter of Acceptance of delivery of the Premises.

Premises, in advance, without demand, deduction or set off, at the rate of TWO

DURING MONTHS ONE (1) THROUGH SIX (6) OF THE INITIAL LEASE TERM, FIVE THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY AND 30/100 DOLLARS ($5,270.30)* PER MONTH DURING MONTHS
SEVEN (7) THROUGH TWELVE (12) OF THE INITIAL LEASE TERM, FIVE THOUSAND SIX

(25) THROUGH THIRTY-SIX (36) OF THE INITIAL LEASE TERM, SIX THOUSAND
NINETY-EIGHT AND 49/100 DOLLARS ($6,098.49)* PER MONTH DURING MONTHS
THIRTY-SEVEN (37) THROUGH FORTY-EIGHT (48) OF THE INITIAL LEASE TERM AND SIX
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FORTY-NINE AND _7/100 DOLLARS ($6,249.07)* PER MONTH DURING
MONTHS FORTY-NINE (49) THROUGH SIXTY (60) OF THE INITIAL LEASE TERM, per month
during the term hereof. One such monthly installment, plus the other monthly
charges set forth in Paragraph 2.C below,
2
<PAGE>
shall be due and payable on the date hereof and a like monthly installment shall
be due and payable on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding
the commencement date, except that all payments due hereunder for any fractional
calendar month shall be prorated. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and
other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are
independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate,
reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except where expressly provided in
this Lease. Tenant waives and releases all statutory liens and off-set rights as
to rent.
B. SECURITY DEPOSIT. In addition, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on
the date hereof the sum of SEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS
($7,300.00). which shall be held by Landlord, without obligation for interest,
as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under the Lease, it
being expressly understood and agreed that this deposit is not an advance rental
deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon
each occurrence of an event of default, Landlord may use all or part of the
deposit to pay rent or other payments due Landlord under this Lease, and the
cost of any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such event of
default without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by
law. On demand, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount that will restore the
security deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent
increases during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall, upon written request from
Landlord, deposit additional monies with Landlord so that the total amount of
the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the
increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base
Rent. Should the Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business
of Tenant or to accommodate a Tenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the right
to increase the Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in Landlord's
reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that the
Premises may suffer as a result thereof. The security deposit shall be deemed
the property of Landlord and Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security
Deposit separate from its general accounts, but any remaining balance of such
deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days from the
time Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled, less a
refurbishment fee equal to fifteen percent of the total deposit.
C. OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS. During each month of the Lease Term, on the
same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional
rent an amount equal to one-twelfth of the amount, as estimated by Landlord, of
Tenant's Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses for the
Project. Payments thereof for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
The term "Operating Expenses" means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project
including, but not limited to costs of Taxes (hereinafter defined) and fees
payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes;
insurance; utilities (subject to the other provisions of this Lease regarding
utilities) maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Project,
including without limitation, paying and parking areas, roads, roofs, alleys,
and driveways, mowing, landscaping, exterior painting, utility lines, mechanical
systems, and amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services
performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any
association of which the Project is subject; property management fees payable to
a property manager, including any affiliate of Landlord, or if there is no
property manager, an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) of Operating
Expenses payable to Landlord; security services, if any; trash collection,
sweeping and removal; and additions, alterations or replacements made by
Landlord at Landlord's sole discretion to the Project in order to comply with
applicable laws or codes as amended from time to time or that are appropriate to
the continued operation of the Project, provided that the cost of such
additions, alterations, or replacements that are required to be capitalized for
federal income tax purposes shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a
period equal to the lesser of the useful life thereof for federal income tax
purposes or ten (10) ten years. Operating Expenses do not include debt service
under mortgages or ground rent under ground leases, costs of restoration to the
extent of net insurance proceeds received by Landlord with respect thereto,
leasing commissions, renovating of space for tenants, or depreciation or
amortization except as provided above.
The monthly estimated Operating Expense payments may be increased or decreased
by Landlord from time to time to reflect the projected actual cost of all such
items. If the Tenant's total payments for any year are less that Tenant's
Proportionate Share of actual operating costs for such year, Tenant shall pay
the difference to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand. If the total
payments of Tenant for any year are more than Tenant's Proportionate Share of
actual operating costs for such year, Landlord shall retain such excess and
credit it against Tenant's next payments. For purposes of calculating Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year
except the first year, which shall begin on the Commencement Date, and the last
year, which shall end on the expiration of this Lease.
The Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be a fraction, having as its numerator
the floor area of the Premises and its denominator the total floor area of the
Project, all as determined by Landlord. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant's
Proportionate Share for any item of the Project that includes the Premises.
3. TAXES.
A. Subject to Tenant's reimbursement obligation and Landlord's right to
contest, Landlord agrees to pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges
of any kind and nature (collectively referred to herein as "Taxes") that accrue
against the
3
<PAGE>
Premises, and/or the land and/or improvements of which the Premises are a part.
Landlord shall have the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings the
amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. The Landlord
shall have the right to employ a tax consulting firm and legal counsel to
attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the building and grounds within the
applicable taxing jurisdiction. Tenant agrees to pay its proportionate share of
the cost of such consultant and legal counsel.
B. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any
personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises. If any such taxes are
levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord's property and (i) Landlord pays
the same or (ii) the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by
inclusion of such personal property and fixtures and Landlord pays the increased
taxes, then, upon demand Tenant shall pay to Landlord such taxes.
C. If at any time during the term of this Lease, there shall be levied,
assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly or
indirectly upon the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax, any excise,
transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or
based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the land
improvements of which the Premises are a part, then all such taxes, assessments,
levies or charges, or the part, thereof so measured or based, shall be payable
to Landlord, monthly or upon demand, at the option of the Landlord, as
additional rent.

of the cost and expense of such repair, replacement, maintenance and other such

ordinances, regulations, or any other applicable authorities, including, without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), in which
event Tenant shall be liable for its proportionate share of such cost. If such
modification is a capital modification for the general benefit of the project,
and is required regardless of Tenant's particular use of the Premises, then the
cost shall be an operating expense allocated over the lesser of five (5) years

modification is predicated by Tenant's particular use of the Premises or is
principally for the benefit of Tenant (and not other Tenants of the building)
the cost shall be borne entirely by Tenant and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for same promptly upon demand.

<PAGE>
pay its share of all charges for jointly metered utilities, based on consumption
as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any
interruption or failure of utility service on the Premises.
B. In the event water is not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant agrees
that it will not use water for uses other than normal domestic restroom and
kitchen usage; and, Tenant does further agree to reimburse Landlord for the
entire amount of common water costs as additional rental if, in fact, Tenant
uses water for uses other than normal domestic restroom and kitchen uses without
first obtaining Landlord's written permission. Furthermore, Tenant agrees in
such event to install at its own expense, a submeter to determine Tenant's
usage.
C. Tenant agrees it will not use sewer capacity for any use other than

10. INSURANCE.
A. Subject to Tenant's reimbursement obligation, Landlord shall maintain
such fire and extended coverage insurance covering the building situated on the
Premises or of which the Premises are a part as Landlord deems appropriate. Such
insurance may provide for a commercially reasonable deductive. Landlord may, but
is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverage as it
may deem necessary, including but not limited to, comprehensive general
liability insurance, loss of rental insurance for up to 12 months rental, and
such additional insurance and coverage shall be reimbursable by Tenant as
provided herein. The Project may be included in a blanket policy (in which case
the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project will be determined by
Landlord based upon insurer's cost calculations).
B. Tenant, at its own expense, shall maintain during the term of this Lease
a policy or policies of worker's compensation and comprehensive general
liability insurance, including personal injury and property damage, with
contractual liability endorsement, in the amount of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) for property damage and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per
occurrence for personal injuries or deaths of persons occurring in or about the
Premises. Tenant, at its own expense, also shall maintain during the term of
this Lease fire and extended coverage insurance covering the replacement cost of
(i) all alterations, additions, partitions and Tenant's personal property
contained within the Premises by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant and
(ii) all of Tenant's personal property contained within the Premises. Said
policies shall (i) name Landlord as an additional insured and insure Landlord's
contingent liability under this Lease (except for the worker's compensation
policy, which instead shall include waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor
of Landlord), (ii) be issued by an insurance company which is acceptable to
Landlord, (iii) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty
(30) days written notice shall be given to Landlord, and (iv) provide primary
coverage to Landlord, when any policy issued to Landlord provides duplicate or
if similar coverage, Landlord's policy will be excess over Tenant's policies.
Said policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant
within ten (10) written days of the commencement of the term of the Lease and
upon each renewal of said insurance.
C. Tenant will not permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any
manner that would (i) void the insurance thereon, (ii) increase the insurance
risk, or (iii) cause the disallowance of any sprinkler credits, including
without limitation, use of the Premises for the receipt, storage or handling of
any product, material or merchandise that is explosive or highly flammable. If
any increase in the cost of any insurance of the Premises or the building of
which the Premises are a part is caused by Tenant's use of the Premises, or
because Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such
increase to Landlord.
11. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE.
A. If the Premises or the building of which the Premises are a part should
be damaged or destroyed by fire or other peril, Tenant immediately shall give
written notice to Landlord. If the buildings situated on the Premises or of
which the Premises are a part should be totally destroyed by any peril covered
by insurance to be provided by Landlord under Paragraph 10.A above, or if they
should be so damaged thereby that, in the Landlord's estimation, rebuilding or
repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date
of such damage, this Lease shall terminate and rent shall be abated during the
unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of
such damage, provided Tenant has paid to Landlord the deductible or applicable
portion of the deductible, as the case may be, under the Landlord's insurance
policy.
B. If the buildings situated upon the Premises or of which the Premises are
a part, should be damaged by any peril covered by the insurance to be provided
by Landlord under Paragraph 10.A above, and in Landlord's estimation, rebuilding
or repairs can be substantially completed within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the date of such damage, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord
shall restore the Premises to substantially its previous condition, except that
Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the
partitions, fixtures, additions and other improvements that may have been
constructed, erected or installed in, or about the Premises or for the benefit
of, or by or for the Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the
deductible under Landlord's insurance policy within thirty (30) days after
receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor. If the damage covered by the insurance
also involves portions of the building or buildings other than the Premises,
Tenant shall pay only a portion of the deductible, based on the ratio of the
cost of repairing the damage in the Premises
6
<PAGE>
to the total of repairing all damage in the building or buildings. If such
repairs and rebuilding have not been substantially completed within one hundred
fifty (150) days after the date of such damage, Tenant, at Tenant's exclusive
remedy, may, upon payment of insurance policy, terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Landlord in which event the rights
and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. As an alternative to the
aforementioned rebuilding, repairs and/or reduction of rent, Landlord may, at
its sole option, use reasonable efforts to provide a reasonably comparable
facility for Tenant to lease at the then prevailing fair market rental for
either (i) the remainder of the term of the Lease, or (ii) the period of time
during which the Premises are untenantable.
C. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the holder
of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written
notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirements
is made known by any such holder, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder
shall cease and terminate.
D. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and
Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents,
officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises,
improvements to the building of which the Premises are a part, or personal
property (building contents) within the building and /or Premises, for any
reason regardless of cause or origin. Each party of this Lease agrees
immediately after execution of this Lease to give each insurance company, which
has issued to its policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written
notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this subparagraph, and if
necessary, to have the insurance policies properly endorsed.
12. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. Except for any claims, rights of recovery and
causes of action that Tenant has released, Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless
and defend Tenant against any and all claims or liability for any injury or
damage to any person in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof and/or the
building of which the Premises are a part, when such injury shall be caused by
the act, neglect, negligence, fault of, or omission of any duty with respect to
the same by Landlord, its agents, servants and employees. Except for any claims,
rights of recovery and causes of action that Landlord has released, Tenant shall
hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or
liability for any injury or damage (i) to any person or property whatsoever
occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof and/or of the
building of which the Premises are a part, including without limitation
elevators, stairways, passageways or hallways, the use of which Tenant may have
in accordance with this Lease, when such injury or damage shall be caused by the
act, neglect, negligence, fault of, or mission of any duty with respect to the
same by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, or invitees, (ii) arising from
the conduct of management of any work done by the Tenant in or about the
Premises, (iii) arising from transactions of the Tenant, (iv) Tenant's breach of
any covenant contained in this Lease, including but not limited to Tenant's
failure to comply with any of the matters set forth relating to environmental
requirements as defined and described in Paragraph 23 and incorporated herein by
reference, and (v) all costs, counsel fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with any such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon. The
provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such
expiration or termination.
13. USE. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of general office use,
data center operations, receiving, storing, shipping, and selling (other than
retail) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant
and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto. Outside
storage, including without limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles and
the washing thereof at any time is prohibited without Landlord's prior written
consent. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain any and all licenses
and permits necessary for such use, shall at all times maintain the Premises in
a clean, healthful and safe condition and comply with all governmental laws,
codes, ordinances, regulations or any other applicable authorities with regard
to the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises including, without
limitation, the ADA. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, for the correction, prevention, and abatement of nuisances in or upon,
or connected with, the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or
unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, vibrations, or pest infestations to
emanate from the Premises, nor take any other action that would constitute a
nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or
any other tenants of the building or project of which the Premises are a part.
Tenant's use of the Premises shall at all times comply with the insurance
provisions in Paragraph 10 hereof.
14. INSPECTION. Landlord and its agents and representatives shall have the right
to enter the Premises at any reasonable time during business hours to inspect
the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant
to this Lease. During the period that is six (6) months prior to the end of the
Lease term upon telephonic notice to Tenant, Landlord and Landlord's
representative may enter the Premises during business hours for the purpose of
showing the Premises. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to erect a
suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available. Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the
Premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the
Premises prior to vacating. If Tenant fails to give such notice or to arrange
for such inspection, then Landlord's inspection of the Premises shall be deemed
correct for the purpose of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs and
restoration of the Premise.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer or encumber this
Lease, or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Any attempted assignment, transfer or encumbrance by Tenant in violation of the
terms and covenants of this Paragraph shall be void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease to any affiliate
provided that such assignment is in form satisfactory to Landlord. Any assignee
or transferee of Tenant's interest in this Lease (all such assignees and
transferees being hereinafter referred to as "Transferees"), by assuming
Tenant's obligations hereunder, shall assume liability to Landlord for all
amounts paid to persons other than Landlord by such Transferees in contravention
of this Paragraph. No assignment, or other transfer, whether consented to by
Landlord or not permitted hereunder shall relieve Tenant of its liability
hereunder. If an event of default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof
are assigned or sublet, then Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein
provided, or provided by law, may collect directly from such Transferee all
rents payable to the Tenant and apply such rent against any sums due Landlord
hereunder. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or a
release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant's obligations
hereunder.
B. Tenant is permitted to enter into a lease agreement that permits a third
party ("Sub-Tenant(s)") to take a portion or all of the Premises from the
Tenant, provided that the Sub-tenant's use, in the sole discretion of the
Landlord, does not substantively or adversely change the Tenant's approved use,
the Tenant remains primarily responsible for all monies to be paid under the
terms of this lease, including but not limited to, the payment of base rent and
operating expenses as defined in paragraph 2, and the Sub-Tenant maintains an
adherence to the applicable terms set out in this Agreement. In the event that a
Sub-Tenant fails to adhere to the applicable terms of this Agreement, the
Landlord shall retain its rights with respect to the Tenant, and may proceed
with rights and recourse provided for the benefit of the Landlord under this
Agreement, as if the Tenant itself had failed to adhere the terms of this
Agreement.
C. If an event of default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are
assigned, transferred or sublet, then Landlord, in addition to any other
remedies herein provided, or provided by law, may collect directly from such
Transferee all rents payable to the Tenant and apply such rent against any sums
due Landlord hereunder. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a
novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant's
obligations hereunder.
D. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C., Section 101, et seq., (the
"Bankruptcy Code"), any and all monies or other consideration payable or
otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or
delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord
and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within
the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations
constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid or
delivered to Landlord be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be
promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.
E. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed, without further act or deed,
to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the
date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver
to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
16. CONDEMNATION. If the whole or any substantial part as determined by Landlord
of the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under
governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by
private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking prevents or materially
interferes with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which they were
leased to tenant, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during
the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective on the date of such taking. If
less than a substantial part, as determined by Landlord, of the Premises is
taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance
or regulation or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu
thereof, this Lease shall not terminate, but the rent payable hereunder during
the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent as may be
fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances. All compensation awarded in
connection with or as a result of any of the foregoing proceedings shall be the
property of Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns any interest in any such award to
Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made
to Tenant for loss of business or goodwill or for the taking of Tenant's
fixtures and improvements, if a separate award for such items is made, to
Tenant.
17. HOLDING OVER. At the termination of this Lease by its expiration or
otherwise, Tenant immediately shall deliver possession to Landlord with all
cleaning, repairs and maintenance required herein to be performed by Tenant
completed. If, for any reason, Tenant retains possession of the Premises after
the expiration of the Lease, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in
writing, such possession shall be subject to termination by either Landlord or
Tenant at any time upon not less than ten (10) days advance written notice, and
all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during
such period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time, upon
demand, as rental for the period of such possession, an amount equal to double
the rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a daily basis for each
day of such period. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent
of Landlord shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly
8
<PAGE>
provided. The preceding provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall not be construed
as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises in the absence of
written consent thereto by Landlord.
18. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that on or before the commencement date
it will have good title to the Premises, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, excepting only the lien for such mortgage or mortgages as are
permitted by the terms of this Lease, zoning ordinances and other building and
fire ordinances and governmental regulations relating to the use of such
property, and easements, restrictions and other conditions of record. If this
Lease is a sublease, then Tenant agrees to take the Premises subject to the
provisions of the prior Leases. Landlord represents that it has the authority to
enter into this Lease and that so long as Tenant pays all amounts due hereunder
and performs all other covenants and agreements herein set forth, Tenant shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term hereof
without hindrance or molestation from Landlord, subject to the terms and
provisions of this Lease.
19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events (herein individually referred to as
"event of default") each shall be deemed to be events of nonperformance by
Tenant under this Lease:
A. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the rent herein when due, or
any other payment of reimbursement to Landlord required herein when due, and
such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days from the date such
payment was due.
B. The Tenant or any guarantor of the Tenant's obligations hereunder shall
(i) become insolvent; (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts;
(iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) commence any
case, proceeding or other case action seeking to have an order for relief
entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent,
or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or relief of debtors seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part
of its property; or (v) take any action to authorize or in contemplation of any
of the actions set forth above in this Paragraph.
C. Any case, proceeding or other action against the Tenant or any guarantor
of the Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be commenced seeking (i) to have an
order for relief entered against it as debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or
insolvent; (ii) reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization of relief of debtors; (iii) appointment
of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or
any substantial part of its property, and such case, proceeding or other action
(a) results in the entry of an order for relief against it which is not fully
stayed within seven (7) business days after the entry thereof, or (b) shall
remain undismissed for a period of forty-five (45) days.
D. Tenant shall (i) vacate all of a substantial portion of the Premises, or
(ii) fail to continuously operate its business at the Premises for the permitted
use set forth herein, whether or not Tenant is in default of the rental payments
due under this Lease.
E. Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises in
violation of Paragraph 22 hereof within twenty (20) days after any such lien or
encumbrance is filed against the Premises.
F. Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this
Lease (other than those listed in this Paragraph 19), and shall not cure such
failure within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to Tenant.
20. REMEDIES.
A. Upon each occurrence of an event of default and so long as such event of
default shall be continuing. Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or
more of the following remedies without any notice or demand:
(i) Terminate this Lease; and/or (ii) Enter upon and take possession
of the Premises without terminating this Lease; and/or (iii) Alter all locks and
other security devices at the Premises with or without terminating this Lease,
and pursue, at Landlord's option, one or more remedies pursuant to this Lease,
Tenant hereby specifically waiving any state or federal law to the contrary; and
in any such event Tenant immediately shall surrender the Premises to Landlord,
and if Tenant fails so to do, Landlord, without waiving any other remedy it may
have, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part
thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefore.
B. If Landlord terminates this Lease, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall be
liable for and shall pay to Landlord, the sum of all rental and other payments
owed to Landlord hereunder accrued to the date of such termination, plus, as
liquidated damages, an amount equal to (i) the present value of the total rental
and other payments owed hereunder for the remaining portion of the Lease term,
calculated as if such term expired on the date set forth in Paragraph 1, less
(ii) the then present fair market value of the Premises for such period, which
because of the difficulty of ascertaining such value, Landlord and Tenant
stipulate and agree, shall in no event be deemed to exceed seventy-five percent
(75%) of the rental amount set forth in Paragraph 2 above.
C. If Landlord repossesses the Premises without terminating the Lease,
Tenant, at Landlord's option, shall be liable for and shall pay Landlord on
demand all rental and other payments owed to Landlord hereunder, accrued to the
date of such repossession, plus all amounts required to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord until the date of expiration of the term as stated in
9
<PAGE>
Paragraph 1, diminished by all amounts received by Landlord through reletting
the Premises during such remaining term (but only to the extent of the rent
herein reserved). Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant to Landlord under
this subparagraph may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions,
without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until expiration of the Lease term.
D. During an event of default, in addition to any sum provided to be paid
herein, Tenant also shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord (i) broker's
fees incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of
the Premises; (ii) the costs of removing and storing Tenant's or other
occupant's property; (iii) the costs of repairing; altering, remodeling or
otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or
tenants; and (iv) all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or
defending Landlord's rights and/or remedies. If either party hereto institute
any action or proceeding to enforce any provision hereof by reason of any
alleged breach of any provision of the Lease, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to receive from the losing party all reasonable attorney's fees and all
court costs in connection with such proceeding.
E. In the event Tenant fails to make any payment due hereunder when payment
is due, to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for processing such late
payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge in an amount
equal to five percent (5%) of such installment; and the failure to pay such
amount within ten (10) days after demand therefor shall be an additional event
of default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to
all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be
construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any
manner.
F. Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or
otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the
Premises by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being
understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of
Landlord and Tenant. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance by
Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to the Lease at law or in equity, shall
not be a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce one or more of its rights in
connection with any subsequent default.
G. In the event of termination and/ or repossession of the Premises for an
event of default, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises
and to collect rental after reletting; provided that, Tenant shall not be
entitled to credit or reimbursement of any proceeds in excess of the rental owed
hereunder. Landlord may relet the whole or any portion of the Premises for any
period, to any Tenant and for any use and purpose.
H. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within
thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure,
Tenant's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages. Unless and until
Landlord fails to so cure any default after such notice, Tenant shall not have
any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. All obligations of Landlord
hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such
obligations will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its
possession of the Premises and not thereafter. The term "Landlord" shall mean
only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the event of the
transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall
thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the
Landlord thereafter accruing but such covenants and obligations shall be binding
during the Lease term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner's
ownership. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord shall not have
any personal liability hereunder. In the event of breach or default by Landlord
in any term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the
equity or interest then owned by Landlord in the Premises; however, in no event,
shall any deficiency judgment or any money of any kind be sought or obtained
against any Landlord.
I. If Landlord repossesses the Premises pursuant to the authority herein
granted, the Landlord shall have the right to (i) keep in place and use or (ii)
remove and store all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises,
including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant at all times prior to any
foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by any Landlord thereof
of third party having a lien thereof. Landlord also shall have the right to
relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures,
equipment and other property to any person ("Claimant") who presents to Landlord
a copy of any instrument represented by Claimant to have been executed by Tenant
(or any predecessor of Tenant) granting Claimant the right under various
circumstances to take possession of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other
property, without the necessity on the part of Landlord to inquire into the
authenticity or legality of said instrument. The rights of Landlord herein
stated shall be in addition to any and all other rights that Landlord has or may
hereafter have at law or in equity; and Tenant stipulates and agrees that the
rights herein granted Landlord are commercially reasonable.
J. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts
payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not
expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent.
K. This is a contract under which applicable law excuses Landlord from
accepting performance from (or rendering performance to) any person or entity
other than Tenant.
21. MORTGAGES. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any
mortgages and/or deeds of trust now or any time hereafter constituting a lien or
change upon the Premises or the improvements situated thereon or the building of
which the Premises are a part, provided, however, that if the mortgagee,
trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to
10
<PAGE>
have Tenant's interest in this Lease superior to any such instrument, then by
notice to Tenant from such mortgage, trustee or holder, this Lease shall be
deemed superior to such lien, whether this Lease was executed before or after
said mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant, at any time hereafter on demand, shall
execute any instruments, releases or other documents that may be required by any
mortgagee for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien
of any such mortgage. Further, Tenant, at any time hereafter on demand, shall
deliver to Landlord a certified copy of its most recent financial statement.
22. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant has no authority, express or implied, to create or
place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any
manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in the Premises or to charge
the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with
Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any
construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause
to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor
performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the
Premises and that will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss,
cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the
leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of the Landlord in the
Premises or under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to give Landlord
immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the
Premises.
23. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. The term "Substances," as used in this Lease shall mean
pollutants, contaminants, toxic or hazardous wastes, or any other substances,
the use, storage, handling, disposal, transportation or removal of which is
regulated, restricted, prohibited or penalized by any "Environmental Law," which
term shall mean any federal, state or local law, ordinance or other statute of a
governmental or quasi-governmental authority relating to pollution or protection
of health or the environment and shall specifically include, but not be limited
to, any "hazardous substance" as that term is defined under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and any
amendments or successors in function thereto. Tenant hereby agrees that (i) no
activity will be conducted on the Premises that will produce any Substance
except for such activities that are part of the ordinary course for Tenant's
business activities (the "Permitted Activities") provided said Permitted
Activities are conducted in accordance with all Environmental Laws and have been
approved in advance in writing by Landlord (which approval Landlord may grant or
withhold in its sole discretion); Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any
required permits and paying any fees and providing any testing required by any
governmental agency; (ii) the Premises will not be used in any manner for the
storage of any Substance except for the temporary storage of such materials that
are used in the ordinary course of Tenant's business provided such substances
are properly stored in a manner and location meeting all Environmental Laws and
approved in advance in writing by Landlord (which approval Landlord may grant or
withhold in its sole discretion); Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any
required permits and paying any fees and providing any testing required by any
governmental agency; (iii) no portion of the Premises will be used "as a
landfill or a dump; (iv) Tenant will not install any underground or aboveground
tank of any type; (v) Tenant will not allow any surface or subsurface conditions
to exist or come into existence that constitute, or with the passage of time,
may constitute a public or private nuisance; (vi) Tenant will not permit any
Substances to be brought onto the Premises, except in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof, and if so brought or found located thereon, the same
shall be immediately removed, and properly disposed, and all required cleanup
procedures shall be diligently undertaken pursuant to all Environmental Laws;
and (vii) Tenant shall in all regards comply with Environmental Laws including,
without limitation, meeting any necessary financial responsibility requirements.
Prior to any Substance being brought upon or into the Premises, whether
Landlord's written permission is required or not, Tenant will provide to
Landlord any applicable material safety data sheets regarding said Substance as
well as a written description of the amount of such Substance to be brought upon
or into the Premises and the common and recognized chemical name of such
Substance. Tenant shall bear responsibility for insuring that all record
keeping, reporting and remediation responsibilities of Tenant under
Environmental Laws are met and Tenant assumes all such responsibility and
liability for such legal compliance. Landlord or Landlord's representative shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Premises for, among other
purposes, the purposes of inspecting the storage, use and disposal of any
Substances and to review compliance with all Environmental Laws. Should it be
determined, in Landlord's sole opinion, that any Substances are being improperly
stored, used, or disposed of, then Tenant shall immediately take such corrective
action as required by applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant will provide
Landlord written notification of the release or disposal of any Substances
either within the Premises or outside of Tenant's Premises and will also provide
Landlord written notice of any pending or threatened litigation concerning the
breach or purported breach of any Environmental Laws. If at any time during or
after the term of the Lease, the Premises is found to be contaminated by
Substances or subject to said conditions, arising from or as a result of
Tenant's negligence (whether in whole or in part) or the use of the Premises or
any Substances by Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, employees, assigns or
subtenants, Tenant shall diligently institute proper and thorough cleanup
procedures in accordance with Environmental Laws at Tenant's sole cost, and
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands,
actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, fines, reimbursement,
restitution, response costs, cleanup costs and obligations (including
investigative responses and attorney's fees) of any nature. The foregoing
indemnification and the responsibilities of Tenant shall apply to Tenant
regardless of whether they arise from any Permitted Activity or from any
Substances, the use of which Landlord approved, and shall survive the
termination or expiration of this lease. Landlord shall be under no obligation
to expend any sums or to seek reimbursement to enforce the indemnification
obligations of Tenant hereunder.
11
<PAGE>
Permitted Materials: Chemicals approved and used for industrial fire
suppression systems operating in the premises.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment, subletting, or
transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease if (i) the anticipated use of the
Premises by the proposed assignee, subtenant, or transferee (collectively, a
"Transferee") involves the generation, storage, use, treatment, or disposal of
Substances; (ii) the proposed Transferee has been required by any prior
Landlord, lender, or governmental authority to make remedial action in
connection with Substances contaminating a property, if the contamination
resulted from such Transferee's actions or use of the property in question; or
(iii) the proposed Transferee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any
governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal, or storage of a
Substance.

casualty, and other causes beyond the control of the Landlord.

Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord's designee, a
Certificate of Occupancy and an estoppel certificate prepared and/or submitted
by Landlord stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to
which rent has been paid, the unexpired term of this Lease and such other
factual matters pertaining to this Lease as may be requested by Landlord. It is
understood and agreed that Tenant's obligation to furnish such estoppel

effect. This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.
G. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the
expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, including without
