In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other mutual terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. 2. Acceptance of Premises. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Initial Improvements (as defined in Addendum 2) by April 1, 2000, (the "Delivery Date") subject to delays due to Force Majeure, Tenant Caused Delays (as defined in Addendum 2) and change orders. Upon the Initial Improvements being Substantially Completed pursuant to Addendum 2, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its condition on the date on which the Initial Improvements are Substantially Completed subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord represents that the Initial Improvements shall be constructed in compliance with Legal Requirements in all material respects and in a good and workmanlike manner. Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business, and Tenant waives -1- any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant's intended purposes. Except as provided in Paragraph 10, for punch list items under Addendum 2, and latent defects, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or any limitation on its use. The taking of possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken except for items that are Landlord's responsibility under Paragraph 10, latent defects, and any punchlist items agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. 3. Use. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (but limited to wholesale sales) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant, administrative offices, a call center, and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto; provided, however, with Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant may also use the Premises for light manufacturing. Tenant shall not conduct or give notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or any tenants of the Project. Outside storage, including without limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without Landlord's prior written consent; provided however, that Tenant shall have the right to park operable trucks and trailers overnight at the truck loading docks and truck parking areas adjacent to the Premises. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use and occupy the Premises in compliance with all laws, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises (collectively, "Legal Requirements"). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, within or without the Premises, that are required by Legal Requirements related to Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant's or Landlord's insurance, increase the insurance risk. If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises or the Project is caused by Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, or because Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. Additionally, in the event the use of any other tenant at the Project increases the cost of any insurance at the Project, Tenant shall not be responsible for its Proportionate Share of such increase. Any occupation of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except for the payment of rent which shall commence on the Commencement Date. 4. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth above. The first month's Base Rent, the cash portion of Security Deposit, and the first monthly installment of estimated Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) shall be due and payable on the date hereof, and Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date. Payments of Base Rent and Operating Expenses for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be payable at such address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is deliquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or of estimated Opeating Expenses for more than 5 days, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to 5 percent of such deliquent sum. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty. The late charge provided for in this Paragraph 4 shall not accrue with respect to the first 2 occurrences of deliquent payment in any consecutive 12-month period, so long as payment is made by Tenant within 5 days of written notice from Landlord to Tenant of Tenant's failure to pay an installment of Base Rent or estimated Operating Expenses as therein described. 5. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord's obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee; no interest shall accrue thereon. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant the later of (i) 30 days following the termination of the Lease, provided no default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) when Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord's obligations under this Paragraph 5 provided that such Security Deposit is transferred to such party. 6. Operating Expense Payments. During each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost, as estimated by Landlord from time to time, of Tenant's Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses for the Project. Payments -2- thereof for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The term "Operating Expenses" means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project including, but not limited to costs of: Taxes (hereinafter defined) and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes; insurance; utilities for the common areas and those areas not occupied by tenants of the Project, maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Project, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, the roof and roof membrane, alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, exterior painting, utility lines, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems which are within the common areas, and not exclusively serving the premises of another tenant at the Project, lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is subject; property management fees in the amount of three percent (3%) of the gross revenues from the Building payable to a property manager, including any affiliate of Landlord; security services, if any; trash collection, sweeping and removal; and additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant) or that are appropriate to the continued operation of the Project or the Building as a bulk warehouse facility in the market area, provided that the cost of additions or alterations that are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the lesser of the useful life thereof for federal income tax purposes or 10 years. Operating Expenses do not include costs, expenses, depreciation or amortization for capital repairs and capital replacements required to be made by Landlord under Paragraph 10 of this Lease, debt service under mortgages or ground rent under ground leases, costs of restoration to the extent of net insurance proceeds received by Landlord with respect thereto or which would have been received had Landlord maintained the insurance required of Landlord hereunder, leasing commissions, the costs of renovating space for tenants, legal fees incurred by Landlord in disputes with tenants other than Tenant, utilities provided to tenants other than Tenant, services provided exclusively to a tenant which are not provided to all tenants generally, or costs of repair or replacement related exclusively to another building at the Project (such as a roof replacement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Initial Lease Term, Operating Expenses shall not include the cost of replacement of the roof and roof membrane. If Tenant's total payments of Operating Expenses for any year are less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within 30 days after demand, and if more, then Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it against Tenant's next payments. For purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year except the first year, which shall begin on the Commencement Date, and the last year, which shall end on the expiration of this Lease. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the entire Project, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Project as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project; and, with respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates only to the Building, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Building as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building. The estimated Operating Expenses for the Premises set forth on the first page of this Lease are only estimates, and Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimates will be accurate. 7. Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility provider on the utilities used by Tenant at the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord may cause at Tenant's expense any utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Tenant shall pay its share of all charges for jointly metered utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No interruption or failure of utilities shall result in the termination of this Lease or the abatement of rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer for normal restroom, use and office and warehouse use. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 7 of this Lease, if an interruption or cessation of utilities results from a cause within the Landlord's reasonable control and the Premises are not usable by Tenant for the conduct of Tenant's business as a result thereof, Base Rent and applicable Operating Expenses not actually incurred by Tenant shall be abated for the period which commences three (3) business days after the date Tenant gives to Landlord notice of such interruption until such utilities are restored. 8. Taxes. Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (collectively referred to as "Taxes") that accrue against the Project during the Lease Term, which shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or upon demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in subsitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against -3- Landlord or Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be charged as an Operating Expense for any special assessments with respect to the Building or Project based on Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Building or Project, as applicable, and based on payment of the special assessment over the longest period allowed for payment by the applicable taxing authority and upon the amount due if such special assessment were paid over such period of time. 9. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building and commercial liability insurance in commercially reasonable amounts. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to rent loss insurance. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. The Project or Building may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project or Building will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer's cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises; provided however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for any increases in insurance premiums due exclusively to the use of any other tenant at the Project. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term: all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's expense; worker's compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; employer's liability insurance with such limits as required by law; and commercial liability insurance, with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and a minimum umbrella limit of $1,000,000, for a total minimum combined general liability and umbrella limit of $2,000,000 (together with such additional umbrella coverage as Landlord may reasonably require) for property damage, personal injuries, or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Premises. Landlord may from time to time require reasonable increases in any such limits. The commercial liability policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured, insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis, be issued by insurance companies which are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, not be cancelable unless 30 days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord, contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant's policies). Such policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Lease Term and upon each renewal of said insurance. The all risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable 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. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors. Tenant and its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents shall not be liable for, and Landlord hereby waives all claims against Tenant and its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents for damage to property sustained by Landlord or any person claiming through Landlord resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or in or about the Project from any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Tenant or its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors or agents; provided, however, such waiver shall only apply to claims in excess of the commercially reasonable deductible under Landlord's insurance policy. 10. Landlord's Repairs. Landlord shall maintain, at its expense, the structural soundness of the roof, foundation, and exterior walls of the Building in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors excluded. The term "walls" as used in this Paragraph 10 shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 10, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair. In the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have the right to make such temporary, emergency repairs (and only such temporary, emergency repairs) to the roof, foundation or exterior walls of the Building as may be reasonably necessary to prevent material damage to Tenant's property at the Premises and/or personal injury to Tenant's employees at the Premises (provided Tenant first attempts to notify Landlord telephonically of such emergency and notifies Landlord of such circumstances in writing as soon as practicable thereafter). In such event, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Tenant in making such emergency repairs. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in making such repairs, up to but not to exceed $2,000.00 with respect to such emergency, within 30 days after demand therefor, accompanied by supporting evidence of the costs incurred by Tenant, then Tenant may bring an -4- action for damages against Landlord to recover such costs, together with interest thereof at the rate provided for in Paragraph 37(j) of the Lease, and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Tenant in bringing such action for damages. In no event, however, shall Tenant have a right to terminate the Lease. 11. Tenant's Repairs. Landlord, the cost of which shall be an Operating Expense as provided in Paragraph 6, shall maintain in good repair and condition the roof and roof membrane, parking areas and other common areas of the Building, including, but not limited to driveways, alleys, landscape and grounds surrounding the Premises; provided however, that during the Initial Lease Term, all replacements of the roof or roof membrane at the Building shall be at Landlord's expense. Subject to Landlord's obligation in Paragraph 10 and subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all non-structural portions of the Premises and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, truck doors, plumbing, water and sewer lines exclusively serving the Premises up to points of common connection (provided however, that Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall maintain and repair such plumbing, water and sewer lines which are outside the perimeter of the Building), interior fire sprinklers and fire protection systems or those systems that exclusively serve the Premises, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Such repair and replacements include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Term. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and other mechanical and building systems servicing the Premises shall be maintained at Tenant's expense pursuant to maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant or, at Landlord's election, by Landlord. The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be reasonably approved by Landlord. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall enter into a joint maintenance agreement with any railroad that services the Premises. If Tenant fails to perform any repair or replacement for which it is responsible after thirty (30) days notice from Landlord of such repairs, then Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefor; provided however, that if such failure to repair creates an emergency condition, a threat to health or safety, a hazardous condition, such repairs are necessary due to weather conditions, or such failure to repair unreasonably interferes with another tenant's use of the Building or Project, then no notice prior to Landlord's repair is required. Subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building or Project that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees and any repair that benefits only the Premises but, with respect to repairs which may benefit only the Premises, repairs to the roof, fire sprinklers and fire protection system shall be paid by Tenant as an Operating Expense. Tenant shall not pay for repairs which exclusively benefit another tenant's premises. 12. Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises ("Tenant-Made Alterations") shall be subject to Landlord's prior written consent; provided however, that Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant-Made Alterations the cost of which do not exceed $10,000.00, which are decorative alterations to the interior of the Premises, and which do not involve any structural elements of the Building or Project, or modify the utility systems of the Building or Project. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall construct at its expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Tenant-Made Alterations. All Tenant-Made Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All plans and specifications for any Tenant-Made Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Landlord may monitor construction of the Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing plans and specifications and in monitoring construction. Landlord's right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens and shall provide certificates of insurance for worker's compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant-Made Alterations and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors. Upon surrender of the Premises, all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord's property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal at Tenant's expense of any such items or Landlord and Tenant have otherwise agreed in writing in connection with Landlord's consent to any Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Tenant, at its own cost and expense and without Landlord's prior approval, may erect such shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively "Trade Fixtures") in the ordinary course of its business provided that such items do not alter the basic character of the Premises, do not overload or damage the Premises, and may be removed without injury to the Premises, and the construction, erection, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements and with Landlord's requirements set forth above. Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage caused by such removal. -5- 13. Signs. Tenant shall not make any changes to the exterior of the Premises, install any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, or painting, or erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent. Upon surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall have removed all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia surface to which its signs are attached. Tenant shall obtain all applicable governmental permits and approvals for sign and exterior treatments. All signs, decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window treatment or bars or other security installations visible from outside the Premises shall be subject to Landlord's approval and conform in all respects to Landlord's requirements. 14. Parking. Tenant shall be allocated 120 parking spaces as described in Exhibit A and shall be entitled to park in common with other tenants of the Project in those areas designated for nonreserved parking. Landlord may allocate parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants in the Project if Landlord determines that such parking facilities are becoming crowded; provided that the spaces allocated to Tenant shall not be less than 120. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant's parking rights against any third parties. 15. Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is estimated to exceed 6 months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after Landlord's notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease or if Landlord estimates that restoration will take 6 months or less, then subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds (provided that Landlord maintained the insurance required under this Lease), Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid by Tenant, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from Force Majeure events. Tenant at Tenant's expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than one month to repair such damage; provided however, if Tenant has exercised its right to renew under Addendum 3 hereof, the provisions of the second sentence of this Paragraph 15 shall apply. Tenant shall pay to Landlord with respect to any damage to the Premises the amount of the commercially reasonable deductible under Landlord's insurance policy (currently $25,000) within 10 days after presentment of Landlord's invoice. If the damage involves the premises of other tenants, Tenant shall pay the portion of the deductible that the cost of the restoration of the Premises bears to the total cost of restoration, as determined by Landlord. Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss. 16. Condemnation. If any part of the Premises or the Project should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a "Taking" or "Taken"), and the Taking would prevent or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or in Landlord's judgment would materially interfere with or impair its ownership or operation of the Project, then upon written notice by Landlord or Tenant this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent and Operating Expenses payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord's award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses, and damage to Tenant's personal property including Trade Fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant. 17. Assignment and Subletting. Without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. For purposes of this paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a "Tenant Affiliate"), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any assignment or sublease not to exceed $1,000.00. Upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice of a desire to assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof (other than to a Tenant Affiliate or a Successor Entity as defined below), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant's notice, as of the date specified in Tenant's notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease; provided however, that Tenant shall have the right to nullify any such termination by withdrawing in writing its request for Landlord's consent to sublease or assignment within ten (10) days of the date of Landlord's termination notice. -6- Provided no default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, upon 10 days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may, without Landlord's prior written consent, assign this Lease to an entity (the "Successor Entity") into which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to an entity to which substantially all of Tenant's assets are transferred, provided (x) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant's leasehold estate, and (y) the assignee or successor entity has a net worth at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord's approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee, except for a Tenant Affiliate or a successor entity, (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder all such excess rental and other excess consideration within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant. With respect to the obligation of Tenant to pay Landlord any excess rental and other excess consideration payable with respect to any assignment or subleasing, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall be entitled, in determining the amount of such excess rental or other excess consideration, to first recapture the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs of improvements made by Tenant in connection therewith, the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket leasing commissions, and the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket attorney's fees paid by Tenant in connection therewith. If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether in whole or in part) or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant's leasehold interest or grant of any concession or license within the Premises or if the Premises be occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall be held in trust for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction or collection of rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder. 18. Indemnification. Except for the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and Landlord's agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 18. 19. Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises upon 24 hours prior telephonic notice, unless an emergency exists in which case, no notice is required, at any reasonable time to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose. Landlord and Landlord's representatives may enter the Premises during business hours for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants. Landlord may erect a suitable sign at the Building stating the Premises are available to let or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate common areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially interferes with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions. 20. Quiet Enjoyment. If Tenant shall perform all of the convenants and agreements herein required to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during the Lease Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord. 21. Surrender. Upon termination of the Lease Term or earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 15 and 16 excepted. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord's retention and disposition of such property. All obligations of Tenant and Landlord hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Lease Term shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Operating Expenses and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises. -7- 22. Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) shall be applicable during such holdover period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time, upon demand, as Base Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to 150% of the Base Rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof during such holding over. All other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph 22 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. 23. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default ("Event of Default") by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or any payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 days from the date of Landlord's written notice to Tenant of such failure to pay; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide written notice of such failure more than 2 times in any consecutive 12-month period, and failure of Tenant to pay any third or subsequent installment of Base Rent or any other payment required herein when due in any consecutive 12-month period shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure. (ii) Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganzation, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a "proceeding for relief"); (c) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity). (iii) Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be cancelled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease. (iv) Tenant shall not occupy or shall vacate the Premises or shall fail to continuously operate its business at the Premises for the permitted use set forth herein, whether or not Tenant is in monetary or other default under this Lease. Tenant's vacating of the Premises shall not consitute an Event of Default if, prior to vacating the Premises, Tenant has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to (a) insure that Tenant's insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled with respect to the Premises as a result of such vacancy, (b) insure that the Premises are secured and not subject to vandalism, and (c) insure that the Premises will be properly maintained after such vacation. Tenant shall inspect the Premises at lease once each month and report monthly in writing to Landlord on the condition of the Premises. (v) Tenant shall attempt or there shall occur any assignment, subleasing or other transfer of Tenant's interest in or with respect to this Lease except as otherwise permitted in this Lease. (vi) Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this Lease within 30 days after Tenant obtains knowledge that such a lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises. (vii) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Paragraph 23, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such default; provided however, Tenant shall not be in default under this Paragraph 23(vii) if such cure will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days to cure, and Tenant diligently pursues such cure and completes such within a commercially reasonable time not to exceed 120 days after Landlord's notice of such default. 24. Landlord's Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, Landlord may at any time thereafter at its election terminate this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided) and/or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant's right of possession, it shall be lawful for Landlord without formal demand or notice of any kind, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, to re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons and property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or remove and store, all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, provided that Landlord receives written notice that Tenant -8- has cured any non-monetary default under subparagraphs 23(ii) through 23(v) of this lease within ten (10) days after Landlord's notice to Tenant that such default has occurred, Landlord will not exercise any of its rights under this paragraph 24. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of: all Base Rent and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such termination; the cost of reletting the whole or any part of the Premises, including without limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing commissions incurred by Landlord, and costs of removing and storing Tenant's or any other occupant's property, repairing, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and the excess of the then present value of the Base Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease as would otherwise have been required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period following the termination of this Lease measured from the date of such termination to the expiration date stated in this Lease, over the present value of any net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration the availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate at the date of such termination. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right of possesion (but not this Lease), Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting [after first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and expense of repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation brokerage fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the rent accruing therefrom] to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and pay any such deficiency. Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due from time to time. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession without terminating the Lease after an Event of Default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises; provided, however, (a) Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any tenant proposed by Tenant, (b) Landlord shall have the right to lease any other space controlled by Landlord first, and (c) any proposed tenant shall meet all of Landlord's leasing criteria. Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can by effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms "enter," "re-enter," "entry" or "re-entry," as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including without limitation a term different than the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant and leasing any or all other portions of the Project before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting. 25. Tenant's Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days and Landlord diligently pursues such cure, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term "Landlord" in this Lease shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged -9- from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner's ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Project, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. Landlord's interest in the Project shall be deemed to include: (i) the rents or other income from the Project received by Landlord after Tenant obtains a final judgment against Landlord, (ii) the net proceeds received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's right, title and interest in the Project after Tenant obtains a final judgment against Landlord, (iii) the net proceeds received by Landlord from any condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation of all or any portion of the Project after Tenant obtains a final judgment against Landlord, and (iv) the net proceeds of insurance received by Landlord from any casualty loss of all or any portion of the Project after Tenant obtains a final judgment against Landlord. The failure of Tenant at any time to enforce its rights under this lease strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this lease or as having modified the same. Landlord and Tenant further agree that forbearance or waiver by Tenant to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Tenant's right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with a subsequent default. 26. Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO. 27. Subordination. Landlord represents that, at the time of the execution of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord is the fee simple owner of the Project and the Building is not subject to any mortgage or deed of trust. This Lease and Tenant's interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any first mortgage, now existing or hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been assigned to such holder. The term "mortgage" whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the "holder" of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 27, this Lease and Tenant's interest in the Premises shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Project, and Tenant shall not be obligated to execute an instrument subordinating this Lease or Tenant's interest in the Premises to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Project, unless concurrently with such subordination the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust agrees in such instrument of subordination not to disturb Tenant's possession of the Premises (so long as no default exists under the Lease) in the event such holder acquires title to the Premises through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. 28. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in, the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the interest of Landlord in the Premises or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged within 30 days of Tenant's knowledge of the filing or recording thereof; provided, however, Tenant may contest such liens or encumbrances as long as such contest prevents foreclosure of the lien or encumbrance and Tenant causes such lien or encumbrance to be bonded or insured over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord within such 30 day period. 29. Estoppel Certificates. Landlord and Tenant agree, from time to time, within 10 days after request of the other party, to execute and deliver to the other party, or its designee, any estoppel certificate requested by such other party, stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which rent has been paid, that the other party is not in default hereunder (or specifying in detail the nature of the other party's default), the termination date of this Lease and such other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by the other party. Tenant's obligation to furnish each estoppel certificate in a timely fashion is a material inducement for Landlord's execution of this Lease. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant's obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. -10- 30. Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Material contained in products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes, Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on or from the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or invitees. Not more than two times per year, Tenant shall complete and certify to disclosure statements as reasonably requested by Landlord relating to Tenant's transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term "Environmental Requirements" means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquified natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the "operator" of Tenant's "facility" and the "owner" of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or the Project and loss of rental income from the Project), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages), expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair, corrective action, or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees, consultant fees or expert fees and including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos brought into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph 30, regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of any release of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is obligated to remediate as provided above or any other breach of the requirements under this Paragraph 30 by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. The obligatons of Tenant under this Paragraph 30 shall survive any termination of this Lease. Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises to determine Tenant's compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Paragraph 30, or the environmental condition of the Premises. Access shall be granted to Landlord upon Landlord's prior notice to Tenant and at such times so as to minimize, so far as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant's operations. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at Landlord's expense, unless such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 30, Tenant shall only have liability to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials on the Project caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees or as a result of Tenant's use of the Project or Premises; Tenant shall have no liability of any kind to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials on the Project caused or permitted by: (i) Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees; or (ii) any other tenants in the Project or their agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees; or (iii) any other person or entity located outside of the Premises or the Project. 31. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project; provided that such rules and regulations do not conflict with Tenant's rights hereunder and are uniformly enforced. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto. In the event of any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project. 32. Security Service. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may patrol the Project, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises. 33. Force Majeure. Except for the payment of monetary obligations under this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be held responsible for delays in the performance of their respective obligations hereunder when caused by strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable -11- substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, delay in issuance of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of such party ("Force Majeure"). 34. Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by Landlord or Tenant, or anyone acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, which are not contained herein, and any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations are superseded by this Lease. This Lease may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. 35. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. It is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable. 36. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that they have dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, other than the broker, if any, set forth on the first page of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any other broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with such party with regard to this leasing transaction. Landlord shall pay all commissions payable to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Broker. 37. Miscellaneous. (a) Any payments or charges due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be considered rent for all purposes of this Lease. (b) If and when included within the term "Tenant," as used in this instrument, there is more than one person, firm or corporation, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Tenant. (c) All notices required or permitted to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a reputable national overnight courier service, postage prepaid, or by hand delivery addressed to the parties at their addresses below, and with a copy sent to Landlord at 14100 East 35th Place, Aurora, Colorado 80011. Either party may by notice given aforesaid change its address for all subsequent notices. Except where otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, notice shall be deemed given upon delivery. (d) At Landlord's request from time to time Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and complete copies of its most recent annual and quarterly financial statements prepared by Tenant or Tenant's accountants and any other financial information or summaries that Tenant typically provides to its lenders or shareholders. (e) Neither this Lease nor a memorandum of lease shall be filed by or on behalf of Tenant in any public record. Landlord may prepare and file, and upon request by Landlord Tenant will execute, a memorandum of lease. (f) The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto. (g) The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall have no binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Premises, nor confer any right or impose any obligations upon either party until execution of this Lease by both parties. (h) Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease. (i) Any amount not paid by Tenant within 5 days after its due date in accordance with the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from such due date until paid in full at the lesser of the highest rate permitted by applicable law or 15 percent per year. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord's and Tenant's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder. 12 (j) Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Project is located, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws. (k) Time is of the essence as to the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. (l) All exhibits and addenda attached hereto are hereby incorporated into this Lease and made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between such exhibits or addenda and the terms of this Lease, such exhibits or addenda shall control.

BETWEEN PROLOGIS TRUST and AMERICA'S SHOPPING MALL, INC. (a) Landlord agrees to furnish or perform at Landlord's sole cost and expense and in substantial conformance with Plans and Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Plans") and Landlord's Standard Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit B those items of construction and those improvements (the "Initial Improvements") specified below: 1. Approximately 4,000 s.f. of office space, including demising wall and electrical service. 2. Warehouse area, including 100% humidity controlled environment (1 ton per 500 RSF), metal halide lighting system to approximately 20 foot candles in warehouse, ESFR sprinkler system, canopied loading areas, one drive-in and at least ten loading doors (one "UPS Height") with three (3) load levelers. (b) If Tenant shall desire any changes, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and Landlord shall determine whether such changes can be made in a reasonable and feasible manner. Any and all costs of reviewing any requested changes, and any and all costs of making any changes to the Initial Improvements which Tenant may request and which Landlord may agree to shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and shall be paid to Landlord upon demand and before execution of the change order. (c) Landlord shall proceed with and complete the construction of the Initial Improvements. Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant approximately thirty (30) days prior notice of the anticipated date on which the Initial Improvements will be Substantially Completed. As soon as such improvements have been Substantially Completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the date that the Initial Improvements were Substantially Completed. The later of (i) thirty (30) days following such date or (ii) May 1, 2000, shall be the "Commencement Date," unless the completion of such improvements was delayed due to any act or omission of, or delay caused by, Tenant including, without limitation, Tenant's failure to approve plans, complete submittals or obtain permits within time periods agreed to by the parties or as reasonably required by Landlord, in which case the Commencement Date shall be thirty (30) days after the date such improvements would have been completed but for the delays caused by Tenant. The Initial Improvements shall be deemed substantially completed ("Substantially Completed") when, in the opinion of the construction manager (whether an employee or agent of Landlord or a third party construction manager) ("Construction Manager"), the Premises are substantially completed in substantial conformance with the Plans except for punch list which do not prevent in any material way the use of the Premises for the purposes for which they were intended and a temporary certificate of occupancy or its equivalent has been issued for the Premises. In the event Tenant, its employees, agents, or contractors cause construction of such improvements to be delayed, the date on which the Initial Improvements are Substantially Completed shall be deemed to be the due date that, in the opinion of the Construction Manager, the Initial Improvements would have been Substantially Completed if such delays had not taken place. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for delays caused by Tenant's request for any changes in the plans, Tenant's request for long lead items or Tenant's interference with the construction of the Initial Improvements, and such delays shall not cause a deferral of the Commencement Date beyond what it otherwise would have been. After the Commencement Date Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a letter agreement setting forth the Commencement Date and Tenant's acceptance of delivery of the Premises. In the event of any dispute as to the Initial Improvement, including the Commencement Date, the certificate of the Construction Manager shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises shall not serve to relieve Tenant of obligations arising on the Commencement Date or delay the payment of rent by Tenant. Subject to applicable ordinances and building codes governing Tenant's right to occupy or perform in the Premises, Tenant shall be allowed to install its tenant improvements, machinery, equipment, fixtures, or other property on the Premises during the final stages of completion of construction provided that Tenant does not thereby interfere with the completion of construction or cause any labor dispute as a result of such installations, and provided further that Tenant does hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any loss or damage to such property, and all liability, loss, or damage arising from any injury to the Project or the property of Landlord, its contractors, subcontractors, or materialmen, and any death or personal injury to any person or persons arising out of such installations, whether or not any such loss, damage, liability, death, or personal injury was caused by Landlord's negligence. Any such occupancy or performance in the Premises shall be in accordance with the provisions governing Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures in the Lease, and shall be subject to Tenant providing to Landlord satisfactory evidence of insurance for personal injury and property damage related to such installations and satisfactory -17- payment arrangements with respect to installations permitted hereunder. Delay in putting Tenant in possession of the Premises shall not serve to extend the term of this Lease or to make Landlord liable for any damages arising therefrom. (e) Except for incomplete punch list items, any conditions listed on the temporary certificate of occupancy which are required to obtain a final certificate of occupancy and are obligations of Landlord in completing the Initial Improvements, and as otherwise set forth in the Lease, Tenant upon the Commencement Date shall have and hold the Premises as the same shall then be without any liability or obligation on the part of Landlord for making any further alterations or improvements of any kind in or about the Premises. (f) In the event the Initial Improvements are not Substantially Completed by May 1, 2000, subject to Force Majeure events and Tenant-caused delays, Tenant shall receive one day free Base Rent and Operating Expenses for each day after May 1, 2000, until the Initial Improvements are Substantially Completed. In the event the Initial Improvements are not Substantially Completed by June 30, 2000, subject to Force Majeure events and Tenant-caused delays, Tenant shall receive two (2) days free Base Rent and Operating Expenses for each day after June 30, 2000, until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Initial Improvements are Substantially Completed and (ii) August 31, 2000. In the event that the Initial Improvements are not Substantially Completed by September 1, 2000, subject to Force Majeure events and Tenant-caused delays, the Commencement Date shall be the later of (i) the date which is thirty (30) days following the date on which the Initial Improvements are Substantially Completed and (ii) February 1, 2001. -18- ADDENDUM 3 ONE RENEWAL OPTION AT MARKET ---------------------------- ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT DATED FEB. 4, 2000, BETWEEN PROLOGIS TRUST and AMERICA'S SHOPPING MALL, INC. (a) Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Extension Notice and the Commencment Date of the Extension Term (as such terms are defined below), (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, or a Tenant Affiliate or Successor Entity (y) Tenant, Tenant Affiliate or Successor Entity actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises, and (z) no Event of Default exists, or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years (such additional term is hereinafter called the "Extention Term") commencing on the day following the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the "Commencement Date of the Extension Term"). Tenant must give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the "Extension Notice") of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term. (b) The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Extension Term shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Rent in effect on the expiration of the Lease Term (if the Base Rent is stated as an annual or other periodic rate, adjusted for the length of the Lease Term), and (ii) the Fair Market Rent, as defined and determined pursuant to Paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) below. (c) The term "Fair Market Rent" shall mean the Base Rent, expressed as an annual rent per square foot of floor area, which Landlord would have received from leasing the Premises for the Extension Term to an unaffiliated person which is not then a tenant in the Project, assuming that such space were to be delivered in "as-is" condition, and taking into account the rental which such other tenant would most likely have paid for such premises, including market escalations, provided that Fair Market Rent shall not in any event be less than the base Rent for the Premises as of the expiration of the Lease Term. Fair Market Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord's not having to find a new tenant for the Premises (including without limitation brokerage commissions, cost of improvements necessary to prepare the space for such tenant's occupancy, rent concession, or lost rental income during any vacancy period). Fair Market Rent means only the rent component defined as Base Rent in the Lease and does not include reimbursements and payments by Tenant to Landlord with respect to operating expenses and other items payable or reimbursable by Tenant under the Lease. In addition to its obligation to pay Base Rent (as determined herein), Tenant shall continue to pay and reimburse Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such operating expenses and other items with respect to the Premises during the Extension Term. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant's obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for such operating expenses and other reimbursable items. (d) Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Rent (which shall be made in Landlord's sole discretion and shall in any event be not less than the Base Rent in effect as of the expiration of the Lease Term) for the Extension Term, and Tenant shall advise Landlord of any objection within 10 days of receipt of Landlord's notice. Failure to respond within the 10-day period shall constitute Tenant's acceptance of such Fair Market Rent. If Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within 30 days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice. If the parties cannot agree, each acting in good faith but without any obligation to agree, then the Lease Term shall not be extended and shall terminate on its scheduled termination date and Tenant shall have no further right hereunder or any remedy by reason of the parties' failure to agree unless Tenant or Landlord invokes the arbitration procedure provided below to determine the Fair Market Rent. (e) Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Project is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Either party may elect to arbitrate by sending written notice to the other party and the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association within 5 days after the 30-day negotiating period provided in Paragraph (d), invoking the binding arbitration provisions of this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator their respective proposal of Fair Market Rent. The arbitrator must choose between the Landlord's proposal and the Tenant's proposal and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Fair Market Rent determined by the arbitrator shall not be less than, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to determine a Fair Market Rent less than, the Base Rent in effect as of the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Landlord and by Tenant if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Tenant; and shall be borne equally otherwise. If the arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Rent as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay 105 percent of the Base Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Lease Term until the Fair Market Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them. (f) The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Addendum and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator. (g) Except for the Base Rent as determined above, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to this addendum or to any allowances, credits or abatements or options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease. (h) If Tenant does not send the Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a), Tenant's right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the Extension Notice and the notice of Tenant's objection under Paragraph (d). (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the Extension Term. Subject to Landlord's obligations pursuant to the Lease, the Premises shall be accepted by Tenant on the Commencement Date of the Extension Term in "as-is" condition. (j) If the Lease is extended for the Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto. (k) If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum, the term "Lease Term" as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the Extension Term except as provided in (g) above.

(a) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to Tenant's request for permission to assign the Lease or sublease all or part of the Premises. It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease in any of the following instances: (i) The assignee or sublessee does not have a net worth calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment or sublease or the net worth of the Tenant at the time it executed the Lease; (ii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee is not reasonable satisfactory to Landlord; (iii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises or the Project; (iv) Occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in Landlord's opinion, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord or the Project with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Project, or similar matters; (v) The identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee will, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Project; (vi) The assignment or sublet is to another tenant in the Project and is at rates which are below those charged by Landlord for comparable space in the Project; (vii) In the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease controls over any inconsistent provision in the sublease; or (viii) The proposed assignee or sublessee is a government entity. The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sublease. (b) Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. (c) Tenant shall provide to Landlord all information concerning the assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request. (d) Landlord may revoke its consent immediately and without notice if, as of the effective date of the assignment or sublease, there has occurred and is continuing any Event of Default under the Lease. ADDENDUM 5 LETTER OF CREDIT FOR SECURITY DEPOSIT ------------------------------------- ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT DATED FEB. 4, 2000, BETWEEN PROLOGIS TRUST and AMERICA'S SHOPPING MALL, INC.

Tenant shall provide such letter of credit to Landlord on or before February , 2000, or pay such $135,000.00 to Landlord in cash on or before February 4, 2000; provided however, in the event Tenant pays such amount in cash, Tenant may provide Landlord a letter of credit as provided herein in the amount of $135,000.00, and upon receipt of such letter of credit, Landlord shall promptly return the $135,000.00 to Tenant. The letter of credit shall either provide that it does not expire until the end of the Lease Term or, if it is for less than the full term of the Lease, shall be renewed by Tenant at least 30 days prior to its expiration during the term of the Lease. The letter of credit shall provide that it may be drawn down upon by Landlord at any time Landlord delivers its site draft to the bank. If Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, cooperate in having the letter of credit transferred to the purchaser. If the letter of credit is ever drawn upon by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease and this Addendum, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter cause the letter of credit to be restored to its original amount. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, provided (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) no condition then exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, and (c) Tenant has not failed to timely pay rent as provided in Paragraph 4 of the Lease more than three (3) times in the preceding twelve (12) calendar months, then the letter of credit shall be reduced as follows: (i) by $75,000 at the end of the first 12 months of the Lease Term, (ii) by $20,000 at the end of the 24th month of the Lease Term, (iii) by $20,000 at the end of the 36th month of the Lease Term, and (iv) by $20,000 at the end of the 48th month of the Lease Term.

In the event that at the time the Letter of Credit could be reduced pursuant to Subparagraphs (i)-(iv) but for Tenant's failure to comply with Subparagraph (c), Landlord shall cause the Letter of Credit to be reduced by the applicable amount to be reduced pursuant to Subparagraphs (i)-(iv) at such time as Tenant complies with the terms of Subparagraph (c) provided that at such time Tenant also complies with Subparagraphs (a) and (b) hereof.
