however, that (a) Tenant shall not commence to do business within the Premises;
(b) Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an indemnity agreement in favor
of Landlord in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, prior to entry, (c)
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of insurance issued by an insurance
carrier approved in writing by Landlord, with coverage of the Premises as

not be deemed possession of the Premises by the Tenant for purposes of Sections
3.1 or 4.1.
3.4 QUIET POSSESSION. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that
upon paying the Rent and other monetary sums due under this Lease, and
performing the covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed
hereunder, Tenant shall quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the

3.5 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. At the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all alterations
and additions thereto in good order, repair and condition (except for ordinary
wear and tear). Tenant shall remove all personal property and trade fixtures
prior to the expiration of the term, including any signs, notices and displays
installed by Tenant. Tenant shall perform all necessary restoration, including,
without limitation, restoration made necessary by the removal of Tenant's
personal property and trade fixtures (or of any Alterations required to be
removed by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof) prior to
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord can elect to
retain or dispose of, in any manner, any Alterations, Tenant's personal property
or trade fixtures that Tenant does not remove from the Premises on expiration or
earlier termination of the term as allowed or required by this Lease. Title to
any such Alterations, Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures that Landlord

<PAGE> 6
property or trade fixtures. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's
costs for storing, removing and disposing of any Alterations, Tenant's personal
property or trade fixtures and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
the claim of any third party to an interest in the personal property.
3.6 ACTION BY LANDLORD. No act or conduct of Landlord, including,
without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an
acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of
the term. Only a notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of
the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease.
3.7 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier
termination of the term hereof without the express written consent of Landlord,
Tenant shall become a tenant at will only, at a rental rate equal to one and one
half times the immediately prior Rent, together with any additional rent, and
otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so
far as applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or
earlier termination shall not constitute a holdover hereunder or result in a
renewal.
3.8 INDEMNIFICATION. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the
expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by the Landlord, Tenant shall
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claim made by any succeeding
tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender. The provisions of
this Section 3.8 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of
re-entry or any rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by law.
ARTICLE 4 RENT
4.1 BASIC RENT. Throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay as
rent for the Premises the Basic Monthly Rent (sometimes referred to as "Basic
Rent") set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions hereof. Basic Rent shall be
payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and
every calendar month, in full, without deduction, abatement or set-off. The
monthly payment for the first full month after the Commencement Date of the term
of the Lease is to be made concurrently with the execution hereof. If the
Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, then the
Basic Rent payable hereunder shall be prorated on a daily basis, based on a 360
day year, and the rent for such partial month following the Commencement Date
shall be payable on the Commencement Date.
4.2 ADDITIONAL RENT FOR ADDITIONAL OPERATING EXPENSES. In addition to
Basic Rent, Tenant shall pay each year during the term hereof additional rent in
an amount equal to the amount by which "Tenant's Proportionate Share" (as set
forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions hereof) of the "Operating Expenses"
(as defined below) for such year exceeds the Operating Expenses for the
"Tenant's Base Year" (as set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions hereof),
all in accordance with the following provisions:
4
<PAGE> 7
(a) DEFINITION OF OPERATING EXPENSES. The term "Operating Expenses"
shall be defined as those reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord with respect
to the repair, alteration, improvement, replacement, operation, management and
maintenance of the Premises, the Building (including any vacant space and space
leased to other tenants in the Building), the Common Areas and the Parking
Facilities, in accordance with accepted principles of sound accounting practice
as applied to the operation, management, maintenance and security of a
first-class office building, which costs shall include, without limitation,
utilities (except sub-metered or allocated utility charges billed separately to
any tenant); elevators; plumbing; electrical; ventilating; heating;
air-conditioning; roof; exterior walls; floor slabs; waste and refuse disposal;
water and sewer charges; repair and maintenance; landscaping services; costs of
janitorial, window washing, security and other services and maintenance
contracts therefor; supplies, materials, equipment and tools; compensation and
all fringe benefits, worker's compensation insurance premiums and payroll taxes
paid to, for, or with respect to, all persons engaged in the operating,
maintaining, or cleaning of the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas and the
Parking Facilities; compliance with all environmental laws or laws relating to
"Hazardous Substances" (as defined below) or any directive, regulation, order or
judgment pursuant thereto; glass replacement; maintenance of ceiling
light-fixtures and replacement of light bulbs and tubes therefor; management
fees at reasonable rates, not to exceed 5% of gross revenues, consistent with
the type of occupancy and the service rendered (applicable whether the Building
is managed by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, or managed for Landlord by a
property management company); amortization or rental of personal property used
in maintenance or repair; all costs required by a governmental entity for energy
conservation, life safety or other purposes or made by Landlord to reduce
operating expenses; insurance, including fire and extended coverage, all risk
public liability and property damage, rental abatement insurance (including one
year's Basic Rent and property taxes for all tenants in the Building), war risk
insurance, earthquake insurance and such other insurance as may otherwise be
required by the first mortgagee of the Building or by Landlord in the exercise
of its discretion; the cost of any capital improvements made to the Building
after completion of its construction as a labor-saving device or to effect other
economies in the operation or maintenance of the Building, or made to the
Building after the date of this lease that are required under any governmental
law or regulation that was not applicable to the Building at the time that
permits for the construction thereof were obtained, such costs to be amortized
over such reasonable period as Landlord shall determine, together with interest
on the unamortized balance at a market rate; costs and upkeep of the Common
Areas, including loading platforms, washrooms, lounges, shelters and other
facilities available for the common use of tenants, employees, invitees and the
public; gross receipts taxes (whether assessed against Landlord or assessed
against Tenant, and collected by Landlord, or both); "property taxes" as
hereinafter defined, and all other charges directly related to the operation and
maintenance of the Premises, the Building and the Parking Facilities, but
excluding the cost of constructing any tenant improvements initially. Any of the
services which may be included in the computation of the Operating Expenses may
be performed by subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord, provided that the
contracts for the performance of such services shall be competitive with similar
contracts and transactions with unaffiliated entities for the performance of
such services in comparable buildings within the governmental jurisdiction
wherein the Building is located.
5
<PAGE> 8
(b) DEFINITION OF PROPERTY TAXES. As used herein, the term "property
taxes" shall include any form of assessment, license fee, license tax, business
license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, penalty tax or similar
imposition, imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including
any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural,
lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district thereof,
as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Building and
Parking Facilities or any interest in leasehold improvements which is taxed to
Landlord and not to a specific tenant, but excluding Landlord's income taxes or
corporate franchise taxes whether fixed or levied on net income. Landlord shall
have the right in its discretion to contest the amount or validity of any
property taxes by appropriate legal proceedings and to include in the Operating
Expenses the reasonable cost of any such contest, including attorneys' fees.
(c) ALLOCATION OF OPERATING EXPENSES. Landlord shall pay that portion of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses for each year during the
term hereof which is equal to the Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year. The
Basic Rent is established on the basis that Landlord shall pay only such amount
in connection with the Operating Expenses and that Tenant will reimburse
Landlord to the extent that Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating
Expenses for any year exceed the Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year and
on the basis that the Basic Rent shall never be decreased if Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the actual Operating Expenses for any year is less than
the Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year. Therefore, if Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses for any year shall be greater
than the Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year, then Tenant shall pay as
additional rent during such year an amount equal to the difference between
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses for such year and the
Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year, all in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.2(d).
(d) DETERMINATION OF OPERATING EXPENSES. From time to time during the
term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement
showing in reasonable detail Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Operating
Expenses for the calendar year in question (the "Estimated Costs Statement").
Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly with installments of Basic Rent
one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses as
shown on the last Estimated Costs Statement provided by Landlord to Tenant to
the extent that Tenant's Proportionate Share of such Operating Expenses exceeds
the Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year. Within a reasonable time after
the expiration of a calendar year ending during the term of this Lease or
ending immediately after the end of the term of this Lease, Landlord shall
furnish Tenant with a written statement showing in reasonable detail the actual
Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. Within 30 days after the
delivery of the statement showing actual Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord the amount by which Tenant's Proportionate Share of actual
Operating Expenses, less an amount equal to Operating Expenses for Tenant's
Base Year, exceeds the amount of additional rent actually paid by Tenant toward
the Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question. Such payment by Tenant
shall be made, notwithstanding that the statement of actual Operating Expenses
shall be furnished to Tenant after the expiration of the term. If the
statement of actual Operating Expenses indicates that the amount of additional
rent actually paid by Tenant toward Operating Expenses for the relevant calendar
6
<PAGE> 9
year exceeds Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, less an amount
equal to Operating Expenses for Tenant's Base Year, Landlord shall pay the
amount of such excess additional rent paid to Tenant. No failure by Landlord to
provide any statements described in this paragraph or to require the payment of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses for any period shall
constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to collect such amount for such period.
(e) ADJUSTMENTS IF BUILDING NOT FULLY OCCUPIED. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein to the contrary, it is agreed that in the event less than
90% of all rentable areas of the Building are occupied or are provided with
Building standard services during any calendar year (on average), an equitable
adjustment shall be made in computing each component of the Operating Expenses
for such year so that Operating Expenses shall be computed for such year as
though 90% of all rentable areas of the Building had been fully occupied during
such year and as though 90% of all rentable areas of the Building had been
provided with Building standard services during such year.
4.3 DELETED.
4.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENT TAXES. Tenant hereby
agrees to pay all taxes which may be levied with respect to Tenant's personal
property and trade fixtures located upon the Premises. Tenant agrees to use its
best efforts to cause such personal property and trade fixtures to be taxed or
assessed separately from the Premises and not as a lien thereon. If leasehold
improvements are made to the Premises (including any Tenant improvement
installed prior to the commencement of the term hereof and subsequent Tenant
alterations, additions, substitutions and improvements, but not including the
original tenant improvements constructed pursuant to the provisions of Section
5.1 below), and such improvements are used by a taxing authority in the
calculating of any property tax payable by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the
property taxes attributable to such leasehold improvements throughout the term
of this Lease within 30 days after being billed therefor by Landlord. Tenant
agrees to give to Landlord copies of all contracts for such leasehold
improvements within ten days of the execution of such contracts. Landlord shall
use those materials available to it (including the working papers of the taxing
authority) to determine the amount of taxes allocable to such leasehold
improvements and will calculate Tenant's bill for such taxes accordingly.
4.5 TENANT'S PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, any sum, amount, item or charge designated or
considered as additional rent in this Lease or any other sum, amount, item or
charge payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease (all of which sums
together with Basic Rent are sometimes referred to in this Lease as "Rent")
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the first day of the month following the
date on which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount payable or on the tenth day
after the giving of such notice, whichever shall be later. Any such notice shall
specify in reasonable detail the basis of such additional Rent. Additional Rent
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without offset or deduction.
4.6 LATE CHARGES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur
costs not
7
<PAGE> 10
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment
of Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or
Landlord's designee within five days after such amount shall be due, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue
amount, or a minimum of $250.00, whichever is greater. The parties hereby agree
that such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of
Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted by law or equity or
pursuant to this Lease.
4.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this
Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount of the security deposit as
set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions hereof. The sum shall be held by
Landlord as a security deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to
the provisions relating to the payment of Rent and payment of any other amount
required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease or which Landlord may spend by
reason of Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or
damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion
of the deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall within ten days after written
demand therefor, deposit the original amount with Landlord. Tenant's failure to
so do shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required
to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall
not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and
faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the
security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at
Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interests hereunder) at the
expiration of the Lease term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises.
4.8 RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of
delinquent Rent or a portion of the Rent or other payment due shall not
constitute a waiver of the delinquency of the remaining portion of the Rent or
other payment due or a waiver of any other default, and shall not constitute
waiver of the right to command a late charge with respect to such payment.
4.9 PAYMENTS FROM TENANT. Any rental payments or other sums received
from Tenant or any other person in connection with this Lease shall be
conclusively presumed to have been paid by Tenant or on Tenant's behalf, unless
(a) Landlord has been given prior written notice to the contrary by Tenant, and
(b) Landlord has consented to payment of such sums by such person other than
Tenant. In no event shall the foregoing be construed as requiring Landlord to
accept any rental payments or other sums from any person other than Tenant.

Article 17, no Hazardous Substances, as defined in Article 17, may be brought
upon or kept or used in or about the Premises or the Building by the Tenant.
6.1(a) EXCLUSIVE USE. Deleted
6.2 EFFECT OF USE ON INSURANCE. Tenant shall not do or permit anything
to be done in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which
will in any way increase the existing rate or affect any fire or other
insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of
the insurance policy covering the Building or any part thereof or any of its
contents, nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about
said Premises any articles which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of
insurance. Without limitation upon Landlord's remedies for Tenant's breach of
this covenant, Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any
additional premium charged upon such policy by reason of Tenant's failure to
comply with the provisions of this Article.
6.3 PROHIBITED USES. In addition to those uses prohibited in section 6.l
above, Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of any
other tenants of the Building or injure or annoy them, nor shall Tenant cause,
maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not
commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.
6.4 RULES AND REGULATIONS. The Rules and Regulations attached to this
Lease as Exhibit "E", as well as such reasonable rules and regulations as may be
hereafter adopted by Landlord for the safety, care, utilization and cleanliness
of the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas and the Parking Facilities, and
the preservation of good order thereon (the "Rules and Regulations"), are hereby
expressly made a part hereof, and Tenant agrees to comply with such rules and
regulations and the violation of any of them shall constitute a default by
Tenant under this Lease. If there is a conflict between the Rules and
Regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this
Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the
nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of said
Rules and Regulations.

<PAGE> 12
6.5 SAFETY. Tenant shall keep the Premises equipped with all safety
appliances required by law or ordinance or any other regulation of any public
authority because of any use made by Tenant. Tenant shall procure all licenses
and permits so required because of such use and, if requested by Landlord, shall
do any work so required because of such use, it being understood that the
foregoing provisions shall not be construed to broaden in any way the uses on
the Premises permitted under this Lease.
6.6 NO ILLEGAL USE. Tenant shall not use the Premises in any way, or
permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, which will conflict with
law, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation or requirement of duly
constituted public authorities now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or
promulgated. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly comply with all
laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements
now in force or which may hereafter be in force and the requirements of any
board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted
relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises.
ARTICLE 7 SERVICE AND UTILITIES
7.1 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to Article 4 and Section 7.3 hereof,
and subject to the Rules and Regulations and subject to governmental regulation,
Landlord agrees to make available to the Premises water and electricity suitable
for the intended use of the Premises, and heat and air conditioning required in
Landlord's reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the

or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall

interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of
the foregoing utilities and services unless due to Landlord's gross negligence,
(b) failure or delay in furnishing any such utilities or services when such
failure or delay is caused by Acts of God or the elements, the making of
reasonable repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building, labor
disturbances of any character, or any other accidents or conditions beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord, or (c) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or
restriction on use of water or electricity, gas or any other form of energy or
any other service or utility whatsoever serving the Premises or the Building.
Furthermore, Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate voluntarily with the
efforts of national, state or local governmental agencies or utilities suppliers
in reducing energy or other resources consumption.
7.3 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall pay for, prior to delinquency,
all telephone and all other materials and services not expressly required to be
provided by Landlord, which may be furnished to or used in, on or about the
Premises during the term of this Lease. Tenant shall also
10
<PAGE> 13
pay, prior to delinquency, all charges and fees required to be paid by Tenant by
the Rules and Regulations. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Article, Tenant agrees to bear the cost of no less than that portion of the
services provided by Landlord described in Section 7.1 which clearly reflects
the use by Tenant of the Premises and the services provided by Landlord with
respect thereto, such as computer utility costs and unusual electricity, air
conditioning, heat or water requirements, and Landlord may, in its sole
discretion, increase or decrease, from time to time during the term of this
Lease, the portion of such cost of such services to be paid by Tenant in
addition to Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses. Landlord may,
but shall have no obligation to, install (a) at Tenant's cost, separate meters
to measure the consumption by Tenant of utility resources including but not
limited to, electricity, or (b) meters to measure such utility resource
consumption by two or more tenants, the prorate share of Tenant and each such

sum as for a default in the payment of rent. Tenant shall also provide and pay
for janitorial services and interior window washing for the Premises.

9.1 USE OF PARKING. During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall be
assigned 27 parking stalls in the parking area located on the Property which
may, at Landlord's option, be designated by Landlord as stalls reserved for
Tenant or its employees or invitees, provided, however, that no less than 2.5%

feet of space rented by such other tenants under the same conditions as
hereinabove set forth for Tenant. In the event that parking stalls are
designated or reserved for exclusive use by other tenants or their employees and

employees of other tenants of Landlord within the Building shall not be entitled
to the use of parking spaces in the parking area located on the Property which

invitee parking. Landlord shall have the right to change the location of such
designated parking stalls from time to time. Tenant and its employees shall park
their cars only in those portions of the parking area, if any, designated by

decorations, improvements, or additions
13
<PAGE> 16
(hereinafter collectively "Alterations"), in, to or about the Premises. If,
prior to the termination of this Lease, or within 15 days thereafter, Landlord
so directs by written notice to Tenant, Tenant shall, prior to termination or
within ten days after receipt of such notice (whichever is later), remove any
Alterations which were placed in or on the Premises by Tenant and which are
designated in such notice, and shall repair any damage occasioned by such
removal and in default thereof Landlord may effect any removals and repairs at
Tenant's expense.
10.2 PLANS REQUIRED. Any Alterations in or about the Premises that Tenant
shall desire to make shall be presented to Landlord in written form, with
proposed detailed plans. If Landlord shall give its consent, the consent shall
be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a permit to do the work from
appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy of such permit to
Landlord prior to the commencement of the work, and the compliance by Tenant
with all conditions of the permit in a prompt and expeditious manner. Landlord
may, as a condition to its consent to any Alterations, require Tenant to provide
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a performance and/or payment bond
or a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half (1/l/2)
times the estimated cost of the Alterations, to insure Landlord that Alterations
shall be completed satisfactorily to Landlord. In performing the work of any
such Alterations, Tenant agrees to use a bondable contractor, which contractor
shall be either (a) one of the contractors set forth in a listing of approved
contractors prepared by Landlord or (b) if not set forth on such a listing,
approved by Landlord in writing prior to the commencement of Tenant's work.
10.3 ATTACH TO PREMISES. Unless Landlord requires their removal as set
forth above, all Alterations shall become the property of Landlord and remain
upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the term or
earlier termination of this Lease.
10.4 PERFORMANCE. Tenant shall construct Alterations in a good and
workmanlike manner and shall diligently prosecute such construction to
completion, to the end that the improvements on the Premises shall at all times
be a complete unit except during the period of work. Tenant shall have the work
performed in such a manner so as not to (a) obstruct the access of any other
tenant in the Building, (b) interfere with the rights of quiet enjoyment of the
premises of the other tenants in the Building, or (c) damage any portion of the
Building, including the Common Areas.
10.5 COMPLIANCE. Any Alterations shall be performed and done strictly in
accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, and with the
requirements of all carriers of insurance on the Premises and on the Building,
and the Board of Underwriters, Fire Rating Bureau, or similar organization.

or about the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least ten days

such notices as Landlord deems necessary to protect the Premises and Landlord
from the liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors.

Alterations are constructed pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Article, Tenant agrees to carry such insurance as required by Article 13 below
covering any such Alterations, it being expressly understood and agreed that
none of such Alterations shall be insured by Landlord under such insurance as it
may carry upon the Building, nor shall Landlord be required under any provisions
of reconstruction of the Premises to reinstall any such Alterations.
10.8 MECHANICS' LIENS NOT PERMITTED. Tenant hereby agrees that it will
pay or cause to be paid all costs for work done by it or caused to be done by it
on the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics', laborers',
materialmen's or similar liens on account of work done by Tenant or persons
claiming under it to be filed against the Building, nor against Tenant's
leasehold interest in the Premises. If Tenant shall desire to contest any claim
of lien, it shall furnish Landlord adequate security of the value or in the
amount of the claim, plus estimated costs and interest, or a bond of a
responsible corporate surety acceptable to Landlord in such amount as is
necessary to release the lien; provided, however, if a final judgment
establishing the validity or existence of a lien for any amount is entered,
Tenant shall pay and satisfy the same at once. Landlord shall have the right at
all reasonable times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices which
it deem's necessary for protection from such liens.
10.9 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CAUSE RELEASE. Subject to Section 10.8 above, if
any such liens are filed, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies
based on such breach of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any of its
obligations, cause such liens to be released by any means it shall deem proper,
including payment and satisfaction of the claim giving rise to such lien. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord at once, upon notice by Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord
to remove such liens, together with interest.

all times have the right to effect such other tenancies in the Building as

uncured defaults in Landlord's performance hereunder, (iii) that not more than
one monthly installment of the Basic Rent has been paid in advance, and (iv)

of Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and defend
Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any
person or property whatsoever (a) occurring in, on or about the Premises, and
(b) occurring in, on or about the Common Areas and the Parking Facilities, when
such injury or damage is caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault
or omission of any duty with respect to the same by Tenant, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees. Tenant shall further indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or
default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed

any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord's part pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease, by reason of any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable
control, including without limitation the causes set forth in Section 21.11
below, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor, except as expressly
otherwise provided in Articles 14 and 15 below, shall Tenant be entitled to any
abatement or reduction of Rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise
to a claim in Tenant's favor that such failure constitutes actual or
constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. Tenant hereby agrees
that Landlord, except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord
shall not be liable for injury to Tenant's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Landlord be liable for injury to the person of Tenant,
Tenant's employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is

appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause whatsoever. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any

ARTICLE 13 TENANT'S INSURANCE

any mortgagee of Landlord, as an additional insured, as their respective
interests may appear, and as certificate holders, and copies of all policies or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance shall be
delivered to Landlord by Tenant at least ten days prior to Tenant's occupancy in
the Premises. No such policy shall be subject to cancellation or modification
except after 30 days written notice to Landlord and Landlord's lender. Tenant
18
<PAGE> 21
shall furnish Landlord and Landlord's lender with renewals or "binders' of any
such policy at least 30 days prior to the expiration thereof. Tenant shall have
the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies
obtained by the Tenant provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage
to the Premises and to Tenant as required by this Lease. In the event of any
loss which is insured by a policy provided by Tenant and by any policy held by
Landlord, the parties agree that Tenant's insurance coverage shall be primary.
13.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE. At all times during the term hereof, Tenant
shall maintain in effect policies of casualty insurance covering (a) all
leasehold improvements (including any alterations, additions or improvements as
may be made by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 hereof), and (b)
trade fixtures, merchandise and other personal property from time to time in, on
or upon the Premises, in an amount not less than 100% of their actual
replacement cost from time to time during the term of this Lease, providing
protection against any peril included within the classification "All Risks". The
proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the
property so insured, except that upon termination of this Lease following a
casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds under (a) above shall be paid to
Landlord and the proceeds under (b) above shall be paid to Tenant if Tenant
would have the right to remove such trade fixtures, merchandise and other
personal property under this Lease. Otherwise, the proceeds under (b), or the
proportionate amount thereof relating to items that Tenant would not have the
right to remove, shall also be paid to Landlord.
13.3 PUBLIC LIABILITY. Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof
and at its own cost and expense procure and continue in force Personal Injury,
Bodily Injury, and Property Damage Liability Insurance adequate to protect
Landlord against liability, including contractual, for injury to or death of any
person or damage to property in connection with the construction of improvements
on the Premises or with the use, operation or condition of the Premises or in
connection with the use by Tenant and its employers and agents of the common
areas of the Building and Parking Facilities. Such insurance at all times shall
have a combined single limit of not less than $3,000,000 on a per location
basis. The limits shall be adjusted from time to time during the term hereof,
upon request by Landlord, to such higher limits, as in Landlord's reasonable
judgment are customarily carried in the locale where the Building is located
with respect to similar properties.
13.4 OTHER INSURANCE. Tenant shall also maintain any other form or forms
of Insurance as Tenant or Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors of
Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in the form and amounts and
against the risks which a prudent tenant would protect itself.
13.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Any policy or policies of fire, extended
coverage or similar casualty insurance which Tenant obtains in connection with
the Premises shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any right
of subrogation against Landlord to the extent rights have been waived by the
insured prior to the occurrence of injury or loss. Tenant hereby waives any
rights of recovery against Landlord for injury or loss due to hazards covered by
insurance to the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby.
19
<PAGE> 22
13.6 VIOLATIONS. Tenant agrees that it will not keep, use, sell or offer
for sale in or upon the Premises any article which may be prohibited by any
insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Premises. In the event
Tenant's occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Premises, whether or not
Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the
insurance carried from time to time by Landlord with respect to the Premises,
Tenant shall pay any such increased premiums as additional rent within ten (10)
days after being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether increased
premiums are a result of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, a schedule
issued by the organization computing the issuance rate on the Premises, or the
Tenant Improvements showing the various components of such rate, shall be
conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate.
Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance
authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Premises.
If any insurance policy carried by Landlord shall be canceled or cancellation
shall be threatened, or the coverage thereunder reduced or threatened to be
reduced in any way, by reason of the use or occupation of the Premises or any
part thereof by Tenant or by any assignee or sub-tenant of Tenant or by anyone
permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy the
condition giving rise to cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction of
coverage within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Landlord may, at
its option, either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt
to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall forthwith pay the cost thereof to
Landlord as additional rent. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or
injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located in the Premises as
a result of such entry. In the event that Landlord shall be unable to remedy
such condition, then Landlord shall have all of the remedies provided for in
this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing.
provisions of this Section 13.6, if Tenant fails to remedy as aforesaid, Tenant
shall be in default of its obligation hereunder and Landlord shall have no
obligation to attempt to remedy such default.
13.7 TENANT'S FAILURE TO INSURE. If Tenant fails to maintain any
insurance required by this Lease, Tenant shall be liable for any loss or cost
resulting from the failure. This Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any of Landlord's rights and remedies under any other provision of this Lease.
ARTICLE 14 DAMAGE AND RESTORATION
14.1 DAMAGE/RESTORATION. If any part of the Premises shall be damaged by
fire or other casualty or if any part of the Building shall be damaged by fire
or other casualty and such damage shall affect Tenant's occupancy of the
Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall
with reasonable diligence repair such damage, and if any part of the Premises
shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage (including
untenantability due to lack of access thereto or services therein), the Basic
Rent shall be equitably abated for a period from the date of such damage to the
date when such part of the Premises shall have been made tenantable unless (a)
Landlord shall make available to Tenant, during the period of such repair, other
space in the Building which is reasonably suitable for the temporary conduct of
Tenant's business or (b) such fire or other casualty shall have resulted from
the fault or neglect of Tenant
20
<PAGE> 23

misconduct or gross negligence, Landlord shall not be liable for any
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant

reconstruction or restoration. Landlord shall have no obligation to carry
insurance of any kind on Tenant's goods, furniture or furnishings or on Tenant's
property, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or to
replace the same.
14.2 EXCEPTIONS TO OBLIGATION TO REBUILD. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 14.1 above, if substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
Building shall be required as a result of damage by fire or other casualty
(whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other
casualty and whether or not such damage is covered by insurance carried by
Landlord), or if the proceeds of available insurance are less than 100% of the
cost of restoration, or if the damage to the Premises or Building is a result of
an uninsured risk, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted may be
terminated by Landlord by its giving to Tenant within 90 days after the date of
such damage a notice specifying a date, not less than 30 days after the giving
of such notice, for such termination. In the event of the giving of such notice
of termination, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall cease
and terminate as of the date specified therefor in such notice, and the Basic
Rent payable hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of such damage.
14.3 MUTUAL RELEASE. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the
provisions of this Article, the parties shall be released thereby without
further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is
surrendered to Landlord, except for items which have theretofore accrued and are
then unpaid.
14.4 DELAY IN RESTORATION. Tenant shall not be released from any of its
obligations under this Lease by reason of fire or other casualty, except to the
extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Article. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article, should Landlord be delayed
or prevented from repairing or restoring the damaged Premises or Building by
reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to procure the
necessary labor or materials, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord, Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs
or restoration for a period equal to such delay or prevention, provided however,
if such delay in restoration exceeds a period of 90 days, Tenant shall have the
option to terminate this Lease, in such event, Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage whatsoever and Tenant shall not be liable for any
additional rent.
14.5 EXTENT OF LANDLORD'S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. It is hereby understood
that if Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein
provided, Landlord shall be obligated to make repairs or restoration only of
those portions of the Building and the Premises which were originally provided
at Landlord's expense, and the repair and restoration of items not provided at
Landlord's expense shall be the obligation of Tenant.

14.6 LAST YEAR OF TERM. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to
repair, reconstruct or restore the Building or tile Premises when the damage
resulting from any casualty covered under this Article occurs during the last 12
months of the term of this Lease or any extension hereof.
14.7 EXPRESS AGREEMENT. This Lease shall be considered an express
agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or the
Premises by fire or other casualty, and any law which purports to govern the
rights of Landlord and Tenant in such a contingency in the absence of express
agreement, and any successor or other law of like import, shall have no
application.
ARTICLE 15 CONDEMNATION
15.1 CONDEMNATION. If all or a substantial part of the Premises shall be
taken or appropriated for public or quasi-public use by the right of eminent
domain, with or without litigation or transferred by agreement in connection
with such public or quasi-public use, either party hereto shall have the right
at its option exercisable within 30 days of receipt of notice of such taking to
terminate this Lease as of the date possession is taken by the condemning
authority, provided, however, that before Tenant may terminate this Lease by
reason of taking or appropriation as provided herein above, such taking or
appropriation shall be of such an extent and nature as to economically frustrate
Tenant's business as well as to substantially handicap, impede or impair
Tenant's use of the Premises. If any part of the Building other than. the
Premises shall be taken or appropriated, for public or quasi-public use,
Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this Lease. In the
event of a partial taking with respect to which a right of termination of this
Lease does not exist or is not exercised, Basic Rent shall be equitably abated
to the extent Tenant's business is economically impaired. A sale by Landlord
under threat of condemnation shall constitute a "taking" for the purpose of this
Article.
15.2 RESTORATION. In the event of a partial taking which does not result
in a terminations of this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable
diligence to restore the remaining portion of the Premises (other than Tenant's
property or any of Tenant's goods, furniture or furnishings) as nearly as
practicable to its condition prior to such condemnation or taking. Tenant agrees
that Landlord's obligation to restore is limited by the provisions of Sections
14.4 and 14.5 above.
15.3 AWARD. In the event of any condemnation or taking of all or a part
of the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the
condemnation proceeding, including any award made for the value of the estate
vested by this Lease in Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and
all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any
such award or any part thereof, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part
of such award; provided, however, that nothing shall preclude Tenant from
intervening in any such condemnation proceeding to claim or receive from the
condemning authority any compensation to which Tenant may otherwise lawfully be
entitled in such case with respect only to Tenant's personal property or for
relocation costs.
23
<PAGE> 25
15.4 CONDEMNATION FOR A LIMITED PERIOD. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Sections 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 above, if all or any portion of the Premises shall
be condemned or taken for governmental occupancy for a limited period, Lease,
shall not terminate, there shall be no abatement of Basic Rent or additional
rent payable hereunder, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award
therefor (whether paid as damages, rent or otherwise) unless the period of
governmental occupancy extends beyond the expiration of this Lease, in which
case Landlord shall be entitled to such part of such award as shall be properly
allocable to the cost of restoration of the Premises, and the balance of such
award shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such
expiration. If the termination of such governmental occupancy is prior to
expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall, to the extent an award has been made for
the purpose of restoring the Premises, after application for the diligent
pursuit of such award by Tenant, restore the Premises as nearly as possible to
the condition of the Premises prior to the condemnation or taking.
ARTICLE 16 ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASE AND ENCUMBRANCE
16.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, license, franchise, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, or
otherwise encumber all or any part of this Lease or any interest therein, and
shall not sublet, franchise, change ownership or license all or any part of the
Premises, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord thereto,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment,
license, franchise, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, subletting or change of
ownership without such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void
and shall confer no rights upon any third parties even if Landlord accepts rent
from the third party. Landlord's consent shall not be deemed unreasonably
withheld if the proposed new tenant is anyone with whom Landlord has negotiated
for a direct lease within the preceding 12 months, anyone with whom Landlord is
negotiating a direct lease at the time of such proposed assignment or sublease,
anyone on Landlord's list of prospective new tenants, or any current or prior
occupant or tenant of the Building; or if in Landlord's opinion the business
operation conducted on the Premises is or may in any way adversely affect the
Building or other tenants during the term of the Lease by such proposed
assignment, license, franchise, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting;
or the financial worth of a proposed new tenant is less than that of Tenant or
the financial worth of the guarantor of a proposed new tenant is less than that
of the guarantor of Tenant. Furthermore, Landlord hereby reserves the right to
condition Landlord's consent to any assignment or sublease upon Landlord's
receipt from Tenant of a written agreement, in form and substance acceptable to
Landlord, pursuant to which Tenant shall pay over to Landlord all rent or other
consideration received by Tenant from any such subtenant or assignee, either
initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the rent
called for hereunder, or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises,
in excess of such rent allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments
to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken into account.
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord
against any and all claims
23
<PAGE> 26

proposed assignee or sublessee or any broker) for Landlord's reasonable refusal
to consent.
16.2 TENANT'S APPLICATION (ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE). In the event that
Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any
portion thereof Tenant shall submit to Landlord at least 60 days prior to the
proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease ("Proposed Effective
Date"), in writing: (a) a request for permission to assign or sublease, setting
forth the Proposed Effective Date, which shall be no less than 60 nor more than
90 days after the sending of such notice; (b) the name of the proposed subtenant
or assignee; (c) the nature of the proposed subtenant's or assignee's business

regard); (d) the name of the guarantor, if any, of the proposed subtenant or
assignee; (e) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment;
(f) current audited financial statements of the proposed subtenant or assignee
and the guarantor, if any, of the proposed subtenant or assignee, and (g) the
fee for review pursuant to Section 16.4.
16.3 RECAPTURE. If Tenant proposes to assign this Lease, Landlord may, at
its option, exercisable upon written notice to Tenant within 30 days after
Landlord's receipt of the notice from Tenant set forth in Section 16.2 above,
elect to recapture the Premises and terminate this Lease. If Tenant proposes to
sublease all or part of the Premises, Landlord may, at its option exercisable
upon written notice to Tenant, within 30 days after Landlord's receipt of the
notice from Tenant set forth in Section 16.2 above, elect to recapture such
portion of the Premises as Tenant proposes to sublease and, upon such election
by Landlord, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises
recaptured. In the event a portion only of the Premises is recaptured the rent
payable under this Lease shall be proportionately adjusted. If Landlord does not
elect to recapture pursuant to this Section 16.3, Tenant may thereafter enter
into a valid assignment or sublease with respect to the Premises, provided
Landlord, pursuant to this Article, consents thereto, and provided further that
(a) such assignment or sublease is executed within 90 days after notification to
Landlord of such proposal, and (b) the rental therefor is not less or greater
than that stated in such notification. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, no
termination of this Lease with respect to the Premises shall become effective
without the prior written consent of the holder of any first deed of trust to
which this Lease is then subject.
16.4 FEES FOR REVIEW. In the event that Tenant shall request to assign,
transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest
therein, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a non-refundable $250.00 fee for Landlord's time and processing
efforts, and for expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with reviewing such
transaction. In addition to such fee, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in the event
Landlord retains the services of an attorney to review the transaction, all
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith but not
less than $250.00. Tenant shall pay such nonreimbursable fee as provided in
Section 16.2 hereof and shall pay such attorneys' fees to Landlord within five
days after written request therefor and such payment shall be a condition to any
approval by Landlord.
24
<PAGE> 27
16.5 COLLECTION/NO RELEASE. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises
or any part thereof may be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant,
Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the
net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved and retain any excess rent so
collected, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be
deemed a waiver of Tenant's covenant set forth in the first sentence of Section
16.1 above, nor shall such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection be
deemed an acceptance by Landlord of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of
covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. No assignment or subletting
shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (which,
following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant
shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease.
16.6 IMPLIED ASSIGNMENT. If Tenant hereunder is a corporation, a limited
liability company, an unincorporated association or a partnership, the transfer,
merger, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such
corporation, limited liability company, association or partnership in the
aggregate in excess of 25% shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and
provisions of this Article; provided however, that a transfer or assignment of
any such stock or interest by a shareholder or member to his spouse, children or
grandchildren is excepted from the foregoing provision.

Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that if the nature of such default is such
that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 day period Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such
cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion.
(d) INSOLVENCY, BANKRUPTCY OR ASSIGNMENT. The failure by Tenant or by

in writing of inability to pay debts by such a party; the making by Tenant or by

assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within 30 days.
18.2 RECOVERY FROM TENANT ON TERMINATION. In the event of any such
default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord
at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this
Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such
intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate
this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(a) PAST RENT. The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent or
other charges which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
27
<PAGE> 30
(b) RENT PRIOR TO AWARD. The worth at the time of award of the amount by

(c) DELETE
(d) PROXIMATELY CAUSED DAMAGES. Any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform
its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely

addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by
applicable law.

the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at a rate per
annum equal to the "Reference Rate" plus two percent (2%), but not to exceed the
maximum rate of interest allowed by law. As used herein, "Reference Rate" shall
be the highest prime or base lending rate for determining interest on unsecured
commercial loans as published in the Wall Street Journal Money Rates Section
from time to time, with changes in the Reference Rate to be effective on the
date of publication. If the Wall Street Journal fails to publish a comparable
rate, Landlord may substitute a comparable Reference Rate announced by a major
bank in the city where the Property is located.
18.4 RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY ON DEFAULT. In the event of any such default by
Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this
Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all personal property from the
Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.

of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter
as provided above or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal
proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not
elect to terminate this Lease as provided above, Landlord may from time to time,
without terminating this Lease, either recover all Rent as it becomes due or
relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term and upon such terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, Landlord
hereby reserving the right in such instances to make alterations and repairs to
the Premises.
18.6 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO RELET. In the event that Landlord shall elect to
so relet, then any rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be
applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder
from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting;
third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the
Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent
as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such
rent received from such reletting during any month
28
<PAGE> 31
which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder be less than the Rent payable
during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to
Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as
ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in
making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rent received from such
reletting.
18.7 ELECTION TO TERMINATE LEASE. No reentry into or taking of possession
of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be
given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord
because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting
elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.
18.8 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. In the event of any breach, default or
noncompliance hereunder by Landlord, Tenant shall, before exercising any right
or remedy provided herein or by law, give Landlord written notice of the claimed
breach, default or noncompliance and if prior to its giving such notice to the
Landlord, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of any notice of
assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of the holder of
any mortgage, trust deed or other security agreement then affecting Landlord's
interest in the Building, concurrently with giving the aforesaid notice to
Landlord, Tenant shall, by registered mail, transmit a copy thereof to such
holder. For the 30 days following the giving of the notice(s) required by the
foregoing portion of this section (or such longer period of time as may be
reasonably required to cure a matter which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably
be rectified within 30 days), Landlord shall have the right to cure the breach,
default, or noncompliance involved. If Landlord has failed to cure a default on
its part within that period, the aforesaid holder shall have an additional 30
days within which to cure the same or, if such default cannot be cured within
that period, such additional time as may be necessary if within such 30 day
period the holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the actions or
remedies necessary to cure the breach, default, or noncompliance involved
(including but not limited to commencement and prosecution of proceedings to
foreclose the mortgage, hold a trustee's sale or otherwise, if necessary to
effect such cure), in which event this Lease may not be terminated by Tenant
while such actions or remedies are being diligently pursued by the holder. If,
at the expiration of the applicable period(s) provided for in this Paragraph,
such default, breach or noncompliance has not been cured, Tenant may exercise
any available right or remedy. Nothing contained in this Section 18.8 shall be
deemed to impose any obligation on any lender to correct or cure any condition.
ARTICLE 19 SUBORDINATION
19.1 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Tenant's interest under this Lease is
and shall be subordinate at all times to the lien of any lender holding a first
or second lien secured by the Property, whether now existing or hereafter
created. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will promptly execute without
further consideration any and all instruments desired by Landlord or Landlord's
mortgagee subordinating this Lease in the manner requested by Landlord to all
ground or underlying leases and to the lien of any mortgage and/or any deed of
trust or other encumbrance
29
<PAGE> 32
which may now or hereafter affect the Premises, together with all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof; provided that
any lienor or encumbrancer relying on the subordination reflected in this Lease
or in such additional agreements will covenant with Tenant that this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect, and Tenant shall not be disturbed in the event
of sale, foreclose or other actions so long as Tenant is not in default
hereunder; and provided further that in the event any provision of this Lease
conflicts with any provision of any document executed by Landlord in connection
with any loan, the provisions of such loan documents shall supersede the
provisions of this Lease. Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest
of Landlord following any transfer of such interest either voluntarily or by
operation of law and to recognize such successor as Landlord under this Lease.
However, if Landlord or any such mortgagee so elects, this Lease shall be deemed
prior in lien to any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance upon or
including the Premises regardless of date of recording and Tenant will execute a
statement in writing to such effect at Landlord's request.
19.2 ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 21.16 below,
in the event that any mortgagee or its respective successor in title shall
succeed to the interest of Landlord hereunder, the liability of such mortgagee
or successor shall exist only so long as it is the owner of the Building or any
interest therein, or is the tenant under any ground or underlying lease referred
to in Section 19.1 above. No Basic Rent, additional rent or any other charge
shall be paid more than ten days prior to the due date thereof (except the
payment for the first full month's Basic Rent) and payments made in violation of
this provision shall (except to the extent that such payments are actually
received by a mortgagee) be a nullity as against any mortgagee and Tenant shall
be liable for the amount of such payments to such mortgagee.
ARTICLE 20 BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY
In the event that the Tenant shall become a debtor under any chapter of
the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, all rights and duties relating to this Lease shall be
governed by the provisions of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365, or any successor thereto, and
Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to all rights and subject to all
obligations therein set forth.
ARTICLE 21 MISCELLANEOUS
21.1 DELAY IN OR FAILURE TO ENFORCE. No delay or omission in the exercise
of any right or remedy of Landlord on any default by Tenant shall impair such
right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
21.2 WAIVER IN WRITING. Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in
writing. One or more waivers by Landlord of a breach by Tenant of any covenant,
term or condition of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver by Landlord
of a subsequent breach by Tenant of the same covenant, term or condition. The
consent or approval of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant
30
<PAGE> 33
of a nature requiring consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act.
21.3 NOTICES. Whenever any notice, approval, consent, request or election
is given or made pursuant to this Lease, it shall be in writing. Communications
and payments shall be addressed if to Landlord at Landlord's Notice Address as
set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, or at such other address as may
have been specified by prior notice to Tenant, and if to Tenant, at Tenant's
Notice Address as set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, or at such
other place as may have been specified by prior notice to Landlord, or at the
Premises. Any communication so addressed shall be deemed duly served if
personally delivered or if mailed by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested. If Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time designates some
other person to receive payments or notices, all payments or notices thereafter
by Tenant shall be paid or given to the agent designated until notice to the
contrary is received by Tenant from Landlord.
21.4 TITLES. The titles of the Articles and Sections are for convenience
only and are not to be considered in construing the provisions of this Lease.
21.5 NO PARTNERSHIP. Nothing herein contained, either in the method of
computing rent or otherwise, shall create between the parties hereto, or be
relied upon by others as creating, any relationship of partnership, association,
joint venture, or otherwise. The sole relationship of the parties hereto shall
be that of Landlord and Tenant.
21.6 GOVERNING LAW. The laws of the State in which this property is
located shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.
21.7 ATTORNEYS FEES. In the event that at any time during the term of
this Lease either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any action or proceedings
against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease, or any default
thereunder, then and in that event, the unsuccessful party in such action or
proceeding agrees to reimburse the prevailing party therein for the reasonable
expense of attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred therein by the prevailing
party. In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease, Landlord
consults with an attorney with respect to a delinquency or non-performance of
Tenant or serves Tenant with a notice to pay (or perform) or quit and Tenant
subsequently cures, or is permitted by Landlord to cure, such delinquency or
non-performance, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord's reasonable
service of process fees, filing fees (for any civil action) and reasonable
attorneys' fees.
21.8 MEANING OF "TENANT". The word "Tenant" shall be deemed and taken to
mean each and every person or party mentioned as a tenant herein, be the same
one or more; and if there shall be more than one tenant, any notice required or
permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and
shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use
