------------------------------------------------------------
Rent. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written estimate of the
----
Operating Costs and Taxes of the Project by April 1 of each fiscal year, or
as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Landlord may revise these
estimates whenever it obtains more accurate information, such as the final
real estate tax assessment or tax rate for the Project.
Within ten (10) days after receiving the original or revised estimate
from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of this estimate, multiplied by the number of months
that have elapsed in the applicable fiscal year to the date of such payment
including the current month, minus payments previously made by Tenant for

pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate Share of this
estimate, until a new estimate becomes applicable.
(2) Correction of Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall
---------------------------------------
deliver to Tenant a report for the previous fiscal year (the "Operating
---------
Cost Report") by May 15 of each year, or as soon as reasonably possible
-----------
thereafter, setting forth (a) the actual Operating Costs incurred, (b) the
amount of Operating Cost Share Rent due from Tenant, and (c) the amount of
Operating Cost Share Rent paid by Tenant. Within twenty (20) days after
such delivery, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount due minus the amount
paid. If the amount paid exceeds the amount due, Landlord shall apply the
excess to Tenant's payments of Operating Cost Share Rent next coming due.
To the extent any excess occurring within sixty (60) days before the end of
the Lease term exceeds the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent next coming
due for the then balance of the term, Landlord shall refund the same to
Tenant in cash or immediately available funds.
(3) Correction of Tax Share Rent. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
----------------------------
report for the previous fiscal year (the "Tax Report") by May 15 of each
----------
year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, setting forth (a) the

amount of Tax Share Rent paid by Tenant. Within

amount due from Tenant minus the amount paid by Tenant. If the amount paid
exceeds the amount due, Landlord shall apply the excess to Tenant's
payments of Tax Share Rent next coming due. To the extent any excess
occurring within sixty (60) days before the end of the Lease term exceeds
the amount of Tax Share Rent next coming due for the then balance of the
term, Landlord shall refund the same to Tenant in cash or immediately
available funds.
C. Definitions.
-----------
(1) Included Operating Costs. "Operating Costs" means any expenses,
------------------------ ---------------
costs and disbursements of any kind other than Taxes, paid or incurred by
Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation,
insurance, repair and other related activities in connection with any part
of the Project and of the personal property, fixtures, machinery,
equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith, including
the cost of providing those services required to be furnished by Landlord
under this Lease. Operating Costs shall also include the costs of any
capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Costs or
improve safety, and those made to keep the Project in compliance with
governmental requirements applicable from time to time (collectively,
"Included Capital Items"); provided, that the costs of any Included Capital
----------------------
Item shall be amortized by Landlord, together with an amount equal to
interest at ten percent (10%) per annum, over the estimated useful life of
such item and such amortized costs are only included in Operating Costs for
that portion of the useful life of the Included Capital Item which falls
within the Term.
If the Project is not fully occupied during any portion of any fiscal
year, Landlord may adjust (an "Equitable Adjustment") among Tenant and all
--------------------
other tenants in the Project ratably, in accordance with the percentage
space each tenant occupies, Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating
Costs otherwise payable as Operating Cost Share Rent so that the sum of all
of the then Project tenants' contributions to the Operating Costs equal
Landlord's actual Operating Costs for the Project. This Equitable
Adjustment shall apply only to Operating Costs which are variable and
therefore increase as occupancy of the Project increases. Landlord may
incorporate the Equitable Adjustment in its estimates of Operating Costs.
If Landlord does not furnish any particular service whose cost would
have constituted an Operating Cost to a tenant other than Tenant who has
undertaken to perform such service itself, then with respect to the cost of
that service, Landlord may likewise make an Equitable Adjustment in
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs among Tenant and all other
tenants in the Project to whom Landlord furnishes the service, ratably, in
accordance with the percentage space each such tenant occupies in the
Project, so that the sum of the contributions toward the cost of the
service by Project tenants who receive the service equal the cost actually
incurred by Landlord for the service.
(2) Excluded Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall not include:
------------------------
(a) costs of alterations of tenant premises;
5
<PAGE>
(b) costs of capital improvements other than Included Capital Items;
(c) interest and principal payments on mortgages or any other debt
costs, or rental payments on any ground lease of the Project;
(d) real estate brokers' leasing commissions;
(e) legal fees, space planner fees and advertising expenses incurred
with regard to leasing the Building or portions thereof;
(f) any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, by
insurance proceeds or otherwise, except by Operating Cost Share
Rent;
(g) the cost of any service furnished to any office tenant of the
Project which Landlord does not make available to Tenant;
(h) depreciation (except on any Included Capital Items);
(i) franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord, except to the
extent imposed in lieu of all or any part of Taxes;
(j) costs of correcting defects in construction of the Building (as
opposed to the cost of normal repair, maintenance and replacement
expected with the construction materials and equipment installed
in the Building in light of their specifications);
(k) legal and auditing fees which are for the benefit of Landlord
such as collecting delinquent rents, preparing tax returns and
other financial statements, and audits other than those incurred
in connection with the preparation of reports required pursuant
to Section 2B above;
(l) the wages of any employee for services not related directly to
the management, maintenance, operation and repair of the
Building; and
(m) fines, penalties and interest.
(3) Taxes. "Taxes" means any and all taxes, assessments and charges
----- -----
of any kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, levied against
the Project, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay in
connection with the ownership, leasing, renting, management, use,
occupancy, control or operation of the Project or of the personal property,
fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection
therewith. Taxes shall include real estate taxes, personal property taxes,
sewer rents, water rents, special or general assessments, transit taxes, ad
valorem taxes, and any tax levied on the rents hereunder or the interest of
Landlord under this Lease (the "Rent Tax"). Taxes shall also include all
--------
fees and other costs and expenses paid by Landlord in
6
<PAGE>
reviewing any tax and in seeking a refund or reduction of any Taxes,
whether or not the Landlord is ultimately successful.
For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (a) from taxes or
assessments payable in installments, shall be the amount of the
installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b)
from all other Taxes, shall at Landlord's election be the amount accrued,
assessed, or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable
in such year. Any refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by the taxing
authority, shall apply during the year in which the adjustment is made.
Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax), capital,
stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance tax,
except to the extent that such tax shall be imposed in lieu of any portion
of Taxes.
(4) Lease Year. "Lease Year" means each consecutive twelve-month
---------- ----------
period beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the
Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the first
Lease Year shall be the period from the Commencement Date through the final
day of the twelve months after the first day of the following month, and
each subsequent Lease Year shall be the twelve months following the prior
Lease Year.
(5) Fiscal Year. "Fiscal Year" means the calendar year, except that
---------- -----------
the first fiscal year and the last fiscal year of the Term may be a partial
calendar year.
D. Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments.
---------------------------------------------
(1) Prorations. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first
----------
day of a month, the Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent
shall be prorated for such partial month based on the actual number of days
in such month. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day, or
ends on a day other than the last day, of the fiscal year, Operating Cost
Share Rent and Tax Share Rent shall be prorated for the applicable fiscal
year.
(2) Default Interest. Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid
----------------
when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at eighteen
percent (18%) per annum.
(3) Rent Adjustments. The square footage of the Premises and the
----------------
Building set forth in the Schedule are conclusively deemed to be the actual
square footage thereof, without regard to any subsequent remeasurement of
the Premises or the Building. If any Operating Cost paid in one fiscal year
relates to more than one fiscal year, Landlord may proportionately allocate
such Operating Cost among the related fiscal years.
(4) Books and Records. Landlord shall maintain books and records
-----------------
reflecting the Operating Costs and Taxes in accordance with sound
accounting and management practices. Tenant, its attorneys and its
certified public accountant shall have the right to inspect Landlord's
records at Landlord's office upon at least seventy-two (72) hours' prior
7
<PAGE>
notice during normal business hours during the ninety (90) days
following the respective delivery of the Operating Cost Report or the
Tax Report. The results of any such inspection shall be kept strictly
confidential by Tenant and its agents, and Tenant and its certified
public accountant must agree, in their contract for such services, to
such confidentiality restrictions and shall specifically agree that the
results shall not be made available to any other tenant of the
Building. Unless Tenant sends to Landlord any written exception to
either such report within said ninety (90) day period, such report
shall be deemed final and accepted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the
amount shown on both reports in the manner prescribed in this Lease,
whether or not Tenant takes any such written exception, without any
prejudice to such exception. If Tenant makes a timely exception,
Landlord shall cause an independent certified public accountant (who
shall be subject to the approval of Tenant, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) to issue a final and conclusive
resolution of Tenant's exception. Tenant shall pay the cost of such
certification unless Landlord's original determination of annual
Operating Costs or Taxes overstated the amounts thereof by more than
five percent (5%).
(5) Miscellaneous. So long as Tenant is in default of any
--------------
obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund
of any amount from Landlord. If this Lease is terminated for any reason
prior to the annual determination of Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax
Share Rent, either party shall pay the full amount due to the other
within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's notice to Tenant of the
amount when it is determined. Landlord may commingle any payments made
with respect to Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax Share Rent, without
payment of interest.
3. PREPARATION AND CONDITION OF PREMISES; POSSESSION AND
-----------------------------------------------------
SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
---------------------
A. Condition of Premises. Landlord shall make those modifications
----------------------
to the Premises listed on Appendix H hereto promptly following prior to the
Commencement Date. Landlord is otherwise leasing the Premises to Tenant "AS IS",
without any obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair or decorate any part
of the Premises.
B. Tenant's Possession. Tenant's taking possession of any portion
--------------------
of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises was in good
order, repair and condition. If Landlord authorizes Tenant to take possession of
any part of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for purposes of doing
business, all terms of this Lease shall apply to such pre-Term possession,
including Base Rent at the rate set forth for the First Lease Year in the
Schedule prorated for any partial month.
C. Maintenance. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain the
------------
Premises in their condition as of the Completion Date, loss or damage caused by
the elements, ordinary wear, and fire and other casualty excepted, and at the
termination of this Lease, or Tenant's right to possession, Tenant shall return
the Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition; provided, however, that
Landlord shall be responsible for maintenance of the structural soundness of the
roof, foundation, and exterior walls of the Building in good repair, reasonable
wear and tear and damage by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors and
invitees excluded. Landlord's
8
<PAGE>
obligation to maintain the exterior walls shall not include the windows, glass,
doors or entries or any other non-structural portion thereof. To the extent
Tenant fails to perform its obligations under this section, Landlord may, but
need not, restore the Premises to the condition required hereunder and Tenant
shall pay the cost thereof.
4. PROJECT SERVICES.
----------------
Landlord shall furnish services as follows:
A. Heating and Air Conditioning. During Tenant's normal business
-----------------------------
hours of 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. on Saturday, Landlord shall furnish heating and air conditioning to provide
a comfortable temperature, in Landlord's judgment, for normal business
operations, except to the extent Tenant installs equipment which adversely
affects the temperature maintained by the air conditioning system. If Tenant
installs such equipment, Landlord may install supplementary air conditioning
units in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as
Additional Rent the cost of installation, operation and maintenance thereof.
Tenant shall pay Landlord all then current charges for the heating or
air conditioning to the Premises to the extent the cost of the same for the
Tenant's normal business hours exceeds the cost otherwise applicable to
Landlord's normal operating hours for the Building (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday), as reasonably
determined by Landlord. Landlord currently estimates that Tenant's obligation
for such additional HVAC will be $25 per hour.
B. Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service
---------
during Tenant's normal business hours to Tenant in common with Landlord and all
other tenants. Landlord shall provide limited passenger service at other times,
except in case of an emergency.
C. Electricity. Landlord shall provide sufficient electricity to
-----------
operate normal office lighting and equipment. Tenant shall not install or
operate in the Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery,
other than business machines and equipment normally employed for general office
use, including software development, which do not require high electricity
consumption for operation, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Landlord. If any or all of Tenant's equipment requires electricity consumption
in excess of that which is necessary to operate normal office equipment, such
consumption (including consumption for computer or telephone rooms and special
HVAC equipment) shall be submetered by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the cost of its submetered
consumption based upon Landlord's average cost of electricity. Such Additional
Rent shall be in addition to Tenant's obligations pursuant to Section 2A(2) to
pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.
D. Water. Landlord shall furnish hot and cold tap water for
-----
drinking, cleaning and toilet purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for water
furnished for any other purpose as Additional Rent at rates fixed by Landlord.
Tenant shall not knowingly permit water to be wasted.
9
<PAGE>
E. Janitorial Service. If Tenant elects to have Landlord provide
------------------
janitorial service, Landlord shall furnish such janitorial service as generally
provided to other tenants in the Building.
F. Interruption of Services. If any of the Building equipment or
------------------------
machinery ceases to function properly for any cause Landlord shall use
reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly. Landlord's inability to
furnish, to any extent, the Project services set forth in this Section 4, or any
cessation thereof resulting from any causes, including any entry for repairs
pursuant to this Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of
any area of the Building shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either
person or property or for interruption or loss to Tenant's business, nor be
construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion of
Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof.
However, in the event that an interruption of the Project services set forth in
this Section 4 causes the Premises to be untenantable for a period of at least
ten (10) consecutive business days, monthly Rent shall thereafter be abated
proportionately. If the cause of such interruption is within the reasonable
control of Landlord and causes the Premises to be untenantable for a period of
at least sixty (60) consecutive days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease on ten (10) days' written notice to Landlord, and this Lease shall
terminate on the 10th day following such notice, as if such date were originally
set forth as the termination date herein, unless the Project services are
restored within such ten-day period.
5. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS.
-----------------------
A. Landlord's Consent and Conditions.
----------------------------------
Tenant shall not make any improvements or alterations to the Premises
(the "Work") without in each instance submitting plans and specifications for
----
the Work to Landlord and obtaining Landlord's prior written consent which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that (a) such Work does not
impact the base structural components or systems of the Building, (b) such Work
will not impact any other tenant's premises, and (c) such Work is not visible
from outside the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord's standard charge for
review of the plans and all other items submitted by Tenant. Landlord may
withhold its consent in its sole discretion for any Work which (a) impacts the
base structural components or systems of the Building, (b) impacts any other
tenant's premises, or (c) is visible from outside the Premises.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for actual costs incurred for review of
the plans and all other items submitted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay for the cost
of all Work.
The following requirements shall apply to all Work:
(1) Prior to commencement, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord
building permits, certificates of insurance satisfactory to Landlord,
and, at Landlord's request, security for payment of all costs.
10
<PAGE>
(2) Tenant shall perform all Work so as not to unreasonably
interfere with other contractors serving the Project or other work to
be performed or services to be rendered in the Project.
(3) The Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, meeting the standard for construction and quality of materials
in the Building, and shall comply with all insurance requirements and
all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
("Governmental Requirements").
-------------------------
(4) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to minimize or prevent
disruption to other tenants, and Tenant shall comply with all
reasonable requests of Landlord in response to complaints from other
tenants.
(5) Tenant shall perform all Work in compliance with
Landlord's "Policies, Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects"
in effect at the time the Work is performed.
(6) Tenant shall permit Landlord to supervise all Work. If
Landlord's employees or contractors perform the Work, Landlord may
charge a supervisory fee not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of labor,
material, and all other costs of the Work.
(7) Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
contractor's affidavits and full and final statutory waivers of liens,
as-built plans and specifications, and receipted bills covering all
labor and materials, and all other close-out documentation required in
Landlord's "Policies, Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects".
B. Damage to Systems. If any part of the mechanical, electrical
------------------
or other systems in the Premises shall be damaged, Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord, and Landlord shall repair such damage reasonably promptly following
receipt of written notice from Tenant. Landlord may also at any reasonable time
make any repairs or alterations which Landlord deems necessary for the safety or
protection of the Project, or which Landlord is required to make by any court or
pursuant to any Governmental Requirement. Tenant shall at its expense make all
other repairs necessary to keep the Premises and Tenant's fixtures in good
order, condition and repair; to the extent Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may
make such repairs itself. The cost of any repairs made by Landlord on account of
Tenant's default, or on account of the mis-use or neglect by Tenant or its
invitees, contractors or agents anywhere in the Project, shall become Additional
Rent payable by Tenant on demand.
C. No Liens. Tenant has no authority to cause or permit any lien
---------
or encumbrance of any kind to affect Landlord's interest in the Project; any
such lien or encumbrance shall attach to Tenant's interest only. If any
mechanic's lien shall be filed or claim of lien made for work or materials
furnished to Tenant, then Tenant shall at its expense within ten (10) days
thereafter either discharge or contest the lien or claim. If Tenant contests the
lien or claim, then Tenant shall (i) within such ten (10) day period, provide
Landlord adequate security for the lien or claim, (ii) contest the lien or claim
in good faith by appropriate proceedings that operate to stay its enforcement,
and (iii) pay promptly any final adverse judgment entered in any such
proceeding.
11
<PAGE>
If Tenant does not comply with these requirements, Landlord may discharge the
lien or claim, and the amount paid, as well as attorney's fees and other
expenses incurred by Landlord, shall become Additional Rent payable by Tenant on
demand.
D. Ownership of Improvements. All Work as defined in this Section
--------------------------
5, partitions, hardware, equipment, machinery and all other improvements and all
fixtures except Tenant's trade fixtures (and Tenant's movable equipment,
furniture and other personal property), constructed in the Premises by either
Landlord or Tenant, (i) shall become Landlord's property upon the expiration or
sooner termination of the Lease, and (ii) shall at Landlord's option either (a)
be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises at the termination of the Lease or
of Tenant's right to possession, or (b) be removed at Tenant's cost in
accordance with Subsection 5E below (unless Landlord at the time it gives its
consent to the performance of such construction expressly waives in writing the
right to require such removal).
E. Removal at Termination. Upon the termination of this Lease or
-----------------------
Tenant's right of possession Tenant shall remove from the Project its trade
fixtures, furniture, moveable equipment and other personal property, any
improvements which Landlord elects shall be removed by Tenant pursuant to
Section 5D, and any improvements to any portion of the Project other than the
Premises. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by the installation or removal
of any of the foregoing items. If Tenant does not timely remove such property,
then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have, at Landlord's election (i)
conveyed such property to Landlord without compensation or (ii) abandoned such
property, and Landlord may dispose of or store any part thereof in any manner at
Tenant's sole cost, without waiving Landlord's right to claim from Tenant all
expenses arising out of Tenant's failure to remove the property, and without
liability to Tenant or any other person. Landlord shall have no duty to be a
bailee of any such personal property. If Landlord elects abandonment, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any expenses incurred for disposition.
6. USE OF PREMISES. Tenant shall use the Premises only for
---------------
general office purposes, including software development. Tenant shall not allow
any use of the Premises which will negatively affect the cost of coverage of
Landlord's insurance on the Project. Subject to the provisions of Section 28,
below, Tenant shall not allow any inflammable or explosive liquids or materials
to be kept on the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which
would cause the value or utility of any part of the Premises to diminish or
would interfere with any other Tenant or with the operation of the Project by
Landlord. Tenant shall not permit any nuisance or waste upon the Premises, or
allow any offensive noise or odor in or around the Premises.
If any governmental authority shall deem the Premises to be a "place of
public accommodation" under the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other
comparable law as a result of Tenant's use, Tenant shall either modify its use
to cause such authority to rescind its designation or be responsible for any
alterations, structural or otherwise, required to be made to the Building or the
Premises under such laws.
7. GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS AND BUILDING RULES. Tenant shall
--------------------------------------------
comply with all Governmental Requirements applying to its use of the Premises.
Tenant
12
<PAGE>
shall also comply with all reasonable rules established for the Project from
time to time by Landlord; provided, however, that as to any future rules and
regulations, Tenant shall be required to comply with the same only to the extent
they do not materially decrease Tenant's rights or materially increase Tenant's
obligations under this Lease. The present rules and regulations are contained in
Appendix B. Failure by another tenant to comply with the rules or failure by
Landlord to enforce them shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to comply
with the rules or make Landlord responsible to Tenant in any way. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to apply the rules and regulations uniformly with respect
to Tenant and tenants in the Building under leases containing rules and
regulations similar to this Lease. In the event of alterations and repairs
performed by Tenant, Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 5 of
this Lease and also Landlord's "Policies, Rules and Regulations for Construction
Projects".
8. WAIVER OF CLAIMS; INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE.

caused by any risk actually covered or required hereunder to be covered by "All-
Risk" property insurance and each party waives any claims against the other
party and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and
contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its
property shall not void this waiver.
9. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY.
-----------------------
A. Termination. If a fire or other casualty causes substantial
------------
damage to the Building or the Premises, Landlord shall engage a registered
architect to certify within one (1) month of the casualty to both Landlord and
Tenant the amount of time needed to restore the Building and the Premises to
tenantability, using standard working methods. If the time needed exceeds twelve
(12) months from the beginning of the restoration, or two (2) months therefrom
if the restoration would begin during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease,
then in the case of the Premises, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Lease, and in the case of the Building, Landlord may terminate this Lease, by
notice to the other party within ten (10) days after the notifying party's
receipt of the architect's certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if flood,
earthquake, or other peril for which Landlord does not carry insurance causes
substantial damage to the Building or the Premises, Landlord may also terminate
this Lease by written notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days from the
date of the casualty. The termination shall be effective thirty (30) days from
the date of the notice and Rent shall be paid by Tenant to that date, with an
abatement for any portion of the Premises which has been untenantable after the
casualty.
B. Restoration. If a casualty causes damage to the Building or
------------
the Premises but this Lease is not terminated for any reason, then subject to
the rights of any mortgagees or ground lessors, Landlord shall obtain the
applicable insurance proceeds and use reasonable efforts to restore the Building
and the Premises within a reasonable amount of time, subject to current
Governmental Requirements. Tenant shall replace its damaged improvements,
personal property and fixtures. Rent shall be abated on a per diem basis during

<PAGE>
the Premises which is untenantable, except to the extent that Tenant's
negligence caused the casualty.
10. EMINENT DOMAIN. If a part of the Project is taken by eminent
--------------
domain or deed in lieu thereof which is so substantial that the Premises cannot
reasonably be used by Tenant for the operation of its business, then either
party may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the taking. If any
substantial portion of the Project is taken without affecting the Premises, then
Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date of such taking. Rent shall
abate from the date of the taking in proportion to any part of the Premises
taken. The entire award for a taking of any kind shall be paid to Landlord, and
Tenant shall have no right to share in the award. All obligations accrued to the
date of the taking shall be performed by the party liable to perform said
obligations, as set forth herein.
11. RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD.
---------------------------
Landlord may exercise at any time any of the following rights
respecting the operation of the Project without liability to the Tenant of any
kind:
A. Name. To change the name or street address of the Building or
----
the suite number(s) of the Premises.
B. Signs. To install and maintain any signs on the exterior and
-----
in the interior of the Building (other than on the interior of the Premises),
and to approve at its sole discretion, prior to installation, any of Tenant's
signs in the Premises visible from the common areas or the exterior of the
Building.
C. Window Treatments. To approve, at its discretion, prior to
-----------------
installation, any shades, blinds, ventilators or window treatments of any kind,
as well as any lighting within the Premises that may be visible from the

----
Premises or any door within the Premises. Tenant shall not alter or add any lock
or bolt.
E. Access. To have access to inspect the Premises, and to perform
------
its obligations, or make repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, as
permitted by this Lease.

abandons the Premises, without relieving Tenant of any obligation to pay Rent.
G. Heavy Articles. To approve the weight, size, placement and
--------------
time and manner of movement within the Building of any safe, central filing
system or other heavy article of Tenant's property. Tenant shall move its
property entirely at its own risk.
H. Show Premises. To show the Premises to prospective purchasers,
-------------
tenants, brokers, lenders, investors, rating agencies or others at any
reasonable time, provided that Land-
16
<PAGE>
lord gives reasonable prior notice to Tenant and does not materially interfere
with Tenant's use of the Premises.
I. Relocation of Tenant. To relocate the Tenant, upon thirty
--------------------
days' prior written notice, from all or part of the Premises (the "Old
---
Premises") to another area in the Project (the "New Premises"), provided that:
-------- ------------
(1) the size of the New Premises is at least equal to the size
of the Old Premises;
(2) such relocation shall not cause unreasonable interference
with Tenant's business;
(3) Landlord pays the cost of moving the Tenant and improving
the New Premises to the standard of the Old Premises. Tenant shall
cooperate with Landlord in all reasonable ways to facilitate the move,
including supervising the movement of files or fragile equipment,
designating new locations for furniture, equipment and new telephone
and electrical outlets, and determining the color of paint in the new
premises; and
(4) if the New Premises is larger than the Old Premises,
Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Rent, nor shall Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs or Taxes increase, to the extent
Tenant does not use or occupy any portion of the increased premises
area. Any such area of the New Premises not intended for Tenant's use
or occupancy shall be identified at the time of the relocation.
J. Use of Lockbox. To designate a lockbox collection agent for
---------------
collections of amounts due Landlord. In that case, the date of payment of Rent
or other sums shall be the date of the agent's receipt of such payment or the
date of actual collection if payment is made in the form of a negotiable
instrument thereafter dishonored upon presentment. However, Landlord may reject
any payment for all purposes as of the date of receipt or actual collection by
mailing to Tenant within 21 days after such receipt or collection a check equal
to the amount sent by Tenant; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
apply to any payments timely made in full performance of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, inclusive of any payments made within any applicable cure
period. It is the intent of this provision to prevent waiver of claims for
payment as the result of any partial payments or of any full payments made after
the expiration of any applicable cure period.
K. Repairs and Alterations. To make repairs or alterations to the
------------------------
Project and in doing so transport any required material through the Premises, to
close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators and other facilities in the
Project, to open any ceiling in the Premises, or to temporarily suspend services
or use of common areas in the Buildings; provided, however, that Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to avoid unreasonable interference with Tenant's business
operations in the Premises while nevertheless completing the Work to be
performed. Landlord may perform any such repairs or alterations during
Landlord's ordinary business hours, except that Tenant may require any Work in
the Premises to be done between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. if Tenant
pays Landlord for overtime and any other expenses incurred as a result of
performing the
17
<PAGE>
Work during such hours. Landlord may do or permit any work on any nearby
building, land, street, alley or way.
L. Landlord's Agents. If Tenant is in default under this Lease,
------------------
possession of Tenant's funds or negotiation of Tenant's negotiable instrument by
any of Landlord's agents shall not waive any breach by Tenant or any remedies of
Landlord under this Lease.
M. Building Services. To install, use and maintain through the
------------------
Premises, pipes, conduits, wires and ducts serving the Building, provided that
such installation, use and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's use of the Premises.
N. Other Actions. To take any other action which Landlord deems
--------------
reasonable in connection with the operation, maintenance or preservation of the
Building.
12. TENANT'S DEFAULT.
----------------
Any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant:
A. Rent Default. Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due.
-------------
B. Assignment/Sublease or Hazardous Substances Default. Tenant
----------------------------------------------------
defaults in its obligations under Section 17 Assignment and Sublease or Section
28 Hazardous Substances;
C. Other Performance Default. Tenant fails to perform any other
--------------------------
obligation to Landlord under this Lease, and this failure continues for ten (10)
days after written notice from Landlord, except that if Tenant begins to cure
its failure within the ten (10) day period but cannot reasonably complete its
cure within such period, then, so long as Tenant continues to diligently attempt
to cure its failure, the ten (10) day period shall be extended to sixty (60)
days, or such lesser period as is reasonably necessary to complete the cure;
D. Credit Default. One of the following credit defaults occurs:
---------------
(1) Tenant commences any proceeding under any law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debts, or seeks
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official
for the Tenant or for any substantial part of its property, or any such
proceeding is commenced against Tenant and either remains undismissed
for a period of thirty days or results in the entry of an order for
relief against Tenant which is not fully stayed within fifteen days
after entry;
(2) Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, does not generally
pay its debts as they become due, or admits in writing its inability to
pay its debts, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors;
(3) Any third party obtains a levy or attachment under process
of law against Tenant's leasehold interest.
18
<PAGE>
E. Vacation or Abandonment Default. Tenant vacates or abandons
--------------------------------
the Premises.
13. LANDLORD REMEDIES.
-----------------
A. Termination of Lease or Possession. If Tenant defaults,
-----------------------------------
Landlord may elect by notice to Tenant given at any time before Tenant shall
have cured the default either to terminate this Lease or to terminate Tenant's
possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease. In either case,
Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to Landlord,
and Landlord may repossess the Premises and may, at Tenant's sole cost, remove
any of Tenant's signs and any of its other property, without relinquishing its
right to receive Rent or any other right against Tenant.
B. Lease Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates the Lease,
--------------------------
Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent due on or before the date of termination,
plus Landlord's reasonable estimate of the aggregate Rent that would have been
payable from the date of termination through the Termination Date, reduced by
the rental value of the Premises calculated as of the date of termination for
the same period, taking into account anticipated vacancy prior to reletting,
reletting expenses and market concessions, both discounted to present value at
the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. If Landlord shall relet any part of the
Premises for any part of such period before such present value amount shall have
been paid by Tenant or finally determined by a court, then the amount of Rent
payable pursuant to such reletting (taking into account vacancy prior to
reletting and any reletting expenses or concessions) shall be deemed to be the
reasonable rental value for that portion of the Premises relet during the period
of the reletting.
C. Possession Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates
-------------------------------
Tenant's right to possession without terminating the Lease and Landlord takes
possession of the Premises itself, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
relet the Premises for such Rent, for such time, and upon such terms as Landlord
in its sole discretion shall determine, without any obligation to do so prior to
renting other vacant areas in the Building. Any proceeds from reletting the
Premises shall first be applied to the expenses of reletting, including
redecoration, repair, alteration, advertising, brokerage, legal, and other
reasonably necessary expenses. If the reletting proceeds after payment of
expenses are insufficient to pay the full amount of Rent under this Lease,
Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly upon demand as it becomes
due. Any excess proceeds shall be retained by Landlord.
D. Landlord's Remedies Cumulative. All of Landlord's remedies
-------------------------------
under this Lease shall be in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have at
law or in equity. Waiver by Landlord of any breach of any obligation by Tenant
shall be effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of
any other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Landlord's
acceptance of payment by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by
Tenant, and if the acceptance occurs after Landlord's notice to Tenant, or
termination of the Lease or of Tenant's right to possession, the acceptance
shall not affect such notice or termination. Acceptance of payment by Landlord
after commencement of a legal proceeding or final judgment shall not affect such
proceeding or judgment. Landlord may advance such monies and take such other
actions for Tenant's account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate
19
<PAGE>
any default by Tenant. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any such
advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the default interest rate until
paid.
E. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN
------------------------
THE EVENT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
LEASE. EACH PARTY SHALL BRING ANY ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS LEASE IN A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN WASHINGTON, CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE ANY PROCEEDING
TRANSFERRED FROM SUCH COURTS ON THE GROUND OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT
FORUM.
F. Litigation Costs. In the event of Tenant's default hereunder,
-----------------
Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in
enforcing this Lease, whether or not suit is filed. In the event of any
litigation between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the non-prevailing party, the prevailing party's reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses of litigation.
14. SURRENDER. Upon termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to
----------
possession, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in good order and
condition, ordinary wear and casualty damage excepted. If Landlord requires
Tenant to remove any alterations, then Tenant shall remove the alterations in a
good and workmanlike manner and restore the Premises to its condition prior to
their installation.
15. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall have no right to holdover possession of
---------
the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's
sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant retains possession of any part of the
Premises after the Term, Tenant shall become a month-to-month tenant for the
entire Premises upon all of the terms of this Lease as might be applicable to
such month-to-month tenancy, except that Tenant shall pay all of Base Rent,
Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent at double the rate in effect
immediately prior to such holdover, computed on a monthly basis for each full or
partial month Tenant remains in possession. Tenant shall also pay Landlord all
of Landlord's direct and consequential damages if Tenant holds over in the
Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord. No acceptance of Rent
or other payments by Landlord under these holdover provisions shall operate as a
waiver of Landlord's right to regain possession or any other of Landlord's
remedies.
16. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES.
--------------------------------------------
A. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any present
-------------
or future ground lease or mortgage respecting the Project, and any amendments to
such ground lease or mortgage, at the election of the ground lessor or mortgagee
as the case may be, effected by notice to Tenant in the manner provided in this
Lease. The subordination shall be effective upon such notice, but at the request
of Landlord or ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of
the request, execute and deliver to the requesting party any reasonable
documents provided to evi-
20
<PAGE>
dence the subordination. Any mortgagee has the right, at its option, to
subordinate its mortgage to the terms of this Lease, without notice to, nor the
consent of, Tenant.
B. Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage. If any
------------------------------------------------------
ground lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure
given and the ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall
thereby become the owner of the Project, Tenant shall attorn to such ground
lessor or mortgagee or purchaser without any deduction or setoff by Tenant, and
this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between Tenant and such
ground lessor, mortgagee or purchaser. The ground lessor or mortgagee or
purchaser shall be liable as Landlord only during the time such ground lessor or
mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Project. At the request of Landlord,
ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver within ten (10)
days of the request any document furnished by the requesting party to evidence
Tenant's agreement to attorn.
C. Security Deposit. Any ground lessor or mortgagee shall be
-----------------
responsible for the return of any security deposit by Tenant only to the extent
the security deposit is received by such ground lessor or mortgagee.
D. Notice and Right to Cure. The Project is subject to any ground
------------------------
lease and mortgage identified with name and address of ground lessor or
mortgagee in Appendix D to this Lease (as the same may be amended from time to
time by written notice to Tenant). Tenant agrees to send by registered or
certified mail to any ground lessor or mortgagee identified either in such
Appendix or in any later notice from Landlord to Tenant a copy of any notice of
default sent by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default
within the required time period under this Lease, but ground lessor or mortgagee
begins to cure within ten (10) days after such period and proceeds diligently to
complete such cure, then ground lessor or mortgagee shall have such additional
time as is necessary to complete such cure, including any time necessary to
obtain possession if possession is necessary to cure, and Tenant shall not begin
to enforce its remedies so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
E. Definitions. As used in this Section 16, "mortgage" shall
------------
include "deed of trust" and/or "trust deed" and "mortgagee" shall include
"beneficiary" and/or "trustee", "mortgagee" shall include the mortgagee of any
ground lessee, and "ground lessor", "mortgagee", and "purchaser at a foreclosure
sale" shall include, in each case, all of its successors and assigns, however
remote.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.
-----------------------
A. In General. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of
-----------
Landlord in each case, (i) make or allow any assignment or transfer, by
operation of law or otherwise, of any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease,
(ii) grant or allow any lien or encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise,
upon any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease, (iii) sublet any part of the
Premises, or (iv) permit anyone other than Tenant and its employees to occupy
any part of the Premises. Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its
obligations under this Lease, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer. No
consent granted by Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment or transfer, lien or encumbrance, sublease or occupancy. Tenant shall
21
<PAGE>
pay all of Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in
connection with any consent requested by Tenant or in reviewing any proposed
assignment or subletting. Any assignment or transfer, grant of lien or
encumbrance, or sublease or occupancy without Landlord's prior written consent
shall be void. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises in its
entirety any rights of Tenant to renew this Lease, extend the Term or to lease
additional space in the Project shall be extinguished thereby and will not be
transferred to the assignee or subtenant, all such rights being personal to the
Tenant named herein.
B. Landlord's Consent. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its
------------------
consent to any proposed assignment or subletting. It shall be reasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease if (i) Tenant is
in default under this Lease, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a tenant
in the Project or an affiliate of such a tenant or a party that Landlord has
identified as a prospective tenant in the Project, (iii) the financial
responsibility, nature of business, and character of the proposed assignee or
subtenant are not all reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord the purpose for which the assignee or subtenant
intends to use the Premises (or a portion thereof) is not in keeping with
Landlord's standards for the Building or are in violation of the terms of this
Lease or any other leases in the Project, (v) the proposed assignee or subtenant
is a government entity, or (vi) the proposed assignment is for less than the
entire Premises or for less than the remaining Term of the Lease. The foregoing
shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its
consent.
C. Procedure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any proposed assignment
---------
or sublease at least thirty (30) days prior to its proposed effective date. The
notice shall include the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant,
its corporate affiliates in the case of a corporation and its partners in a case
of a partnership, an execution copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, and
sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the financial
responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant. As a
condition to any effective assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall execute
and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the effective date of the assignment, an assumption of all of the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease. As a condition to any effective sublease, subtenant
shall execute and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the effective date of the sublease, an agreement to comply with
all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and at Landlord's option, an
agreement (except for the economic obligations which subtenant will undertake
directly to Tenant) to attorn to Landlord under the terms of the sublease in the
event this Lease terminates before the sublease expires.
D. Change of Management or Ownership. Any transfer of the direct or
---------------------------------
indirect power to affect the management or policies of Tenant or direct or
indirect acquisition of or transfer of control of twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the ownership interest in Tenant to any individual or entity and/or
their affiliate shall constitute an assignment of this Lease.
E. Permitted Transfers. Landlord hereby consents to Tenant's assignment
-------------------
of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises to any affiliate of
Tenant or to any corporation resulting from the reorganization, merger, or
consolidation with Tenant (any of the foregoing referred to herein as a
"Permitted Transfer"); provided, however, that in the case of a permitted
assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all of the Tenant's obligations
under
22
<PAGE>
this Lease arising after the effective date of the transfer, and in the case of
a permitted sublease, Tenant shall execute an agreement to comply with all of
the Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and at Landlord's option, an
agreement (except for economic obligations which such subtenant will under take
directly to Tenant), to attorn to Landlord under the terms of the sublease in
the event this Lease terminates before the sublease expires. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with written notice of any proposed Permitted Transfer as soon
as reasonably practical prior to the effective date thereof, and shall provide
Landlord with a final execution copy of the assignment or sublease as soon as
reasonably possible thereafter.
F. Excess Payments. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet any
---------------
part of the Premises for consideration in excess of the pro-rata portion of Rent
applicable to the space subject to the assignment or sublet, then Tenant shall
pay to Landlord as Additional Rent 50% of any such excess immediately upon
receipt.
G. Recapture. Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within
---------
thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice of assignment or subletting,
terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant's notice, as
of the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease and all obligations
under this Lease as to such space shall expire except as to any obligations that
expressly survive any termination of this Lease.
18. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. If Landlord shall at any time transfer its
----------------------
interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall be released of any
obligations occurring after such transfer, except the obligation to return to
Tenant any security deposit not delivered to its transferee, and Tenant shall
look solely to Landlord's successors for performance of such obligations. This
Lease shall not be affected by any such transfer.
19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party shall, within ten (10) days of
--------------------
receiving a request from the other party, execute, acknowledge in recordable
form, and deliver to the other party or its designee a certificate stating,
subject to a specific statement of any applicable exceptions, that the Lease as
amended to date is in full force and effect, that the Tenant is paying Rent and
other charges on a current basis, and that to the best of the knowledge of the
certifying party, the other party has committed no uncured defaults and has no
offsets or claims. The certifying party may also be required to state the date
of commencement of payment of Rent, the Commencement Date, the Termination Date,
the Base Rent, the current Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent
estimates, the status of any improvements required to be completed by Landlord,
the amount of any security deposit, and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested. Failure to deliver such statement within the time required shall be
conclusive evidence against the non-certifying party that this Lease, with any
amendments identified by the requesting party, is in full force and effect, that
there are no uncured defaults by the requesting party, that not more than one
month's Rent has been paid in advance, that the non-certifying party has not
paid any security deposit, and that the non-certifying party has no claims or
offsets against the requesting party.
20. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the date of
----------------
this Lease, as security for the performance of all of its obligations, an
irrevocable, unconditional standby letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") in
form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in
23
<PAGE>
the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Tenant may at any time
deposit cash amounts with Landlord equivalent to such amount, and such cash or
the Letter of Credit or any combination thereof, shall be deemed the "Security
Deposit." If Tenant defaults under the Lease, Landlord may use any part of the
Security Deposit to make any defaulted payment, to pay for Landlord's cure of
any defaulted obligation or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage
resulting from any default. To the extent any portion of the deposit is used,
Tenant shall, within five (5) days after demand from Landlord, restore the
deposit to its full amount, as adjusted pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 20. Landlord may keep the Security Deposit, if cash, in its general
funds and shall not be required to pay interest to Tenant on the deposit amount.
So long as Tenant shall have timely performed its obligations under this Lease
prior to such date, Landlord shall agree to reduction of the amount of the
Security Deposit to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) on the first day of the
fourth (4th) year of the Lease term, and at such time shall return to Tenant any
cash that has been deposited in excess of such Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00). If Tenant shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease
and return the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, Landlord shall
return all of the remaining Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days
after the end of the Term. The Security Deposit shall not serve as an advance
payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord's damages for any default under this
Lease.
If Landlord transfers its interest in the Project or this Lease,
Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit or the unused portion to its
transferee or shall refund it to Tenant. Upon such transfer, Landlord shall have
no further obligation to return the Security Deposit to Tenant, and Tenant's
right to the return of the Security Deposit shall apply solely against
Landlord's transferee. The terms of the Security Deposit shall not be affected
by any such transfer.

-------------
the extent Landlord is unable to perform any of its obligations on account of
any strike or labor problem, energy shortage, governmental pre-emption or
prescription, national emergency, or any other cause of any kind beyond the

RIDER 1
EXTENSION OPTION. Subject to Subsection B below, Tenant may at its option
extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years. Such period
is called a "Renewal Term." The Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms
------------
contained in this Lease except for the payment of Base Rent during the Renewal
Term; and any reference in the Lease to the "Term" of the Lease shall be deemed
to include any Renewal Term and apply thereto, unless it is expressly provided
otherwise. Tenant shall have no additional extension options.
A. The Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall be the greater of (i) the
Base Rent applicable to the last day of the final Lease Year prior to the
Renewal Term, or (ii) the Market Rate (defined hereinafter) for such space for a
term commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term. "Market Rate" shall mean
-----------
the then prevailing market rate for a comparable term commencing on the first
day of the Renewal Term for tenants of comparable size and creditworthiness for
comparable space in the Building and other first class office buildings in the
vicinity of the Building.
B. To exercise any option, Tenant must deliver a binding notice to
Landlord not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial
Term of this Lease. Thereafter, the Market Rate for the particular Renewal Term
shall be calculated pursuant to Subsection C below and Landlord shall inform
Tenant of the Market Rate. Such calculations shall be final and shall not be
recalculated at the actual commencement of such Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to
timely give its notice of exercise, Tenant will be deemed to have waived its
option to extend.
C. Market Rate shall be determined as follows:
(i) If Tenant provides Landlord with its binding notice of exercise
pursuant to Subsection B above, then at some point between thirteen (13)
and eleven (11) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal
Term (or, at Landlord's election, at an earlier point), Landlord shall
calculate and inform Tenant of the Market Rate. If Tenant rejects the
Market Rate as calculated by Landlord, Tenant shall inform Landlord of its
rejection within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
calculation, and Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to agree
upon the Market Rate. If Tenant fails to timely reject Landlord's
calculation of the Market Rate it will be deemed to have accepted such
calculation. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement within
twenty-one (21) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of
rejection, then the Market Rate shall be determined in accordance with
(ii) below.
(ii) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Market
Rate within said twenty-one (21) day period, then within seven (7) days,
Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a
sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Market Rate. If the higher
of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the
lower, then the Market Rate shall be the average of the two. Otherwise,
the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with (iii) and
(iv) below.
41
<PAGE>
(iii) Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the
parties shall select as an arbitrator an independent MAI appraiser with at
least five (5) years of experience in appraising office space in the
metropolitan area in which the Project is located (a "Qualified
---------
Appraiser"). If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Appraiser, then
---------
within a second period of seven (7) days, each shall select a Qualified
Appraiser and within ten (10) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified
Appraisers shall select a third Qualified Appraiser and the third
Qualified Appraiser shall be the sole arbitrator. If one party shall fail
to select a Qualified Appraiser within the second seven (7) day period,
then the Qualified Appraiser chosen by the other party shall be the sole
arbitrator.
