Consultant"), in creating, modifying and changing the Plans and Specifications
through out the construction process. All changes to the Plans and

Specifications. Landlord and Tenant shall agree in writing as the nature and
amount of such changes prior to Landlord making any such change. Landlord shall
invoice Tenant for such additional costs and payment of such additional costs
shall be due promptly after receipt of such invoice.
Construction of the Office Building Project shall commence not later
than September 1, 2001, and Landlord shall diligently pursue construction to
completion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the
Landlord has not commenced construction of the Office Building Project by

the delivery date of the Premises, and (ii) on any Milestone Date or any time
thereafter, Landlord reasonably believes or the Estimated Delivery Date Notice
indicates, that

Landlord will not be reasonably capable of completing the Office Building
Project on the applicable delivery date, then Landlord shall provide written
notice thereof ("Construction Schedule Delay Notice"), and Tenant shall have a
one time (with respect to each Construction Schedule Delay Notice) right, but
not the obligation, to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such Construction Schedule Delay Notice. In the event the
Commencement Date has not occurred within thirty (30) days after the then
applicable final completion date as indicated on the then applicable
Construction Schedule, or such completion date can not reasonably be expected to
be met, then Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate
this Lease by providing written notice of such termination to Landlord.
Notwithstanding any other of this Section 4, the Construction Commencement Date
and each Milestone Date is subject to adjustment in the event of a delay caused
by a hurricane, tornado or other act of god and then only for the actual number
of days that construction on the site is directly impacted by such event, but

such Taking, (b) Tenant shall pay all Rent and other amounts due through such
termination date, and any payments of Rent and other amounts previously made by
Tenant for any period subsequent to such termination date shall, so long as no
Event of Default then exists hereunder, be returned to Tenant after first
deducting therefrom all amounts owed by Tenant, and (c) Landlord shall be
entitled to the entire award for the fee interest in the Office Building Project

after the Termination Date. All Tenant's Equipment which remains on the Premises
after the Termination Date and Tenant fails to promptly remove such equipment
upon demand by Landlord shall be deemed to have been abandoned and Landlord may,
at its option (but subject to the rights of third parties), either cause such
property to be placed into public storage for Tenant's account, retain the same
as it own property or otherwise dispose of the same, in any case at Tenant's
sole expense.
20.2 Unless Landlord and Tenant are negotiating in good faith for an
extension of this Lease, any holdover after the expiration of the Term with the
written consent of Landlord shall be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month
on the same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease, insofar as the same
are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that monthly Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent shall be one hundred thirty five percent (135%) of the monthly
Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for the last full month of the Term if Tenant
holds over without the consent of Landlord. Any holdover after the expiration of
the Term without the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a
tenancy at sufferance on the same terms and conditions as contained in this
Lease, insofar as the same are applicable to a tenancy at sufferance, except the
monthly Fixed Rent.
21. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
21.1 Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of Law, convey, sell, assign, sublease, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise
transfer this Lease, or any interest in the Premises, or enter into any
agreement or make any arrangement to do any of the foregoing (any of the actions
referred to in this sentence being hereinafter referred to as a "Transfer")
without, in each instance, Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided (a) such transferee is a
good credit risk based on reasonable credit criteria generally applied to the
evaluation of prospective Tenant's, and (b) such transferee's use is consistent
with Tenant's use as set forth herein. Any Transfer undertaken in violation of
the provisions of this Section 21.1 shall be null and void and of no force or
effect and, at Landlord's option, shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder. Whether or not Landlord has consented to any Transfer, Landlord may
collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant without such collection
being deemed an acceptance or waiver of Landlord's right to consent to such
Transfer. Each permitted transferee shall be required to execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord a written instrument wherein such Transferee
unconditionally assumes and agrees to perform all of the obligations of the
Tenant under this Lease and recognizes and consents to the exercise of all of
Landlord's rights and remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Lease, Tenant may assign, sublet or otherwise transfer its
interest in the Lease, without Landlord's consent, written or otherwise, to any
parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant, or to a corporation or other business
entity with which Tenant may merge or consolidate and there shall be no
recapture right in connection with such
18
assignment and there shall not be any recapture rights in connection with any
such assignments, sublets or transfers. This Lease shall not restrict or purport
to restrict or refer in any manner to a change in control or change in
shareholders, directors, management or organization of Tenant, or any
subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Tenant, or to the issuance, sale, purchase,
public offering, disposition or recapitalization of the capital stock of Tenant,
or any subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Tenant. All other assignments shall be
subject to the approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned.
21.2 Landlord shall not be required to consider any request for consent
to a proposed Transfer unless Landlord is first given fifteen (15) days' prior
Notice of the particulars of such proposed Transfer, including, without
limitation, a description of the nature and character of the proposed
transferee's business, and such financial and other data and information
concerning the proposed Transfer and transferee as Landlord may reasonably
request and which are consistent with the scope of Landlord's consent rights.
22. CONVEYANCES OF LANDLORD'S INTERESTS IN THE OFFICE BUILDING PROJECT;
LANDLORD'S MORTGAGES; SUBORDINATION
22.1 Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time to
ground lease or to place one or more Landlord's mortgages on all or any part of
the Office Building Project provided that such mortgages do not exceed the fair
market value of the Office Building Project at such time, or if the Office
Building Project is part of collateral package consisting of multiple properties
which secure a loan, that the release price for the Office Building Project does
not exceed the fair market value of the property. Tenant understands and agrees
that this Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subject and subordinate in lien
to each and every Landlord's Mortgage which now is or hereafter may be placed by
Landlord on the Office Building Project or any part thereof, and to all
increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, spreadings, replacements and
extensions thereof, irrespective of their respective dates of recording. By way
of example and not limitation, if required by a Landlord's Mortgage (a) Tenant
will recognize as Landlord and attorn to such Landlord's Mortgagee or any
purchaser at a foreclosure sale or at a public or private sale by a trustee, (b)
no pre-payment of Rent more than two months prior to its due date will be
binding upon such Landlord's Mortgagee, and (c) no amendment or surrender of
this Lease without the consent of such Landlord's Mortgagee shall be binding
upon such Landlord's Mortgagee provided Tenant had been supplied with the name
and address of Landlord's Mortgagee. Tenant's obligations under this section are
subject to Landlord causing it's Mortgagee to execute and deliver to Tenant a
subordination and nondisturbance agreement which is form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
22.2 Landlord will provide to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement in the
form and content satisfactory to Tenant by each mortgagee or such other forms as
shall be reasonably satisfactory too Tenant and in any event shall specifically
include provisions that, in the case of a deed of trust or mortgage, in the
event of any foreclosure or other enforcement under the mortgage or deed of
trust, either by judicial proceeding or by power of sale, or if conveyance or
transfer of the Office Building Project shall be made in lieu of foreclosure, or
in the case of a lease, in the event of any termination of the lease for any
reason (whether or not because of exercise by lessor of any right or remedy) or
any enforcement of remedies by the lessor thereof (any such foreclosure or
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, and any such lease termination or enforcement
of lease remedies, being herein referred to as "Enforcement"), then this Lease
shall not be terminated as a result of such Enforcement, and the fact that this
Lease is subordinate to the deed of trust mortgage or lease (as the case may
be), this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a binding lease
agreement between Owner and Tenant in accordance with its provisions, and the
right of Tenant under this Lease shall not be interfered with nor disturbed by
any party owning the Project or any interest therein as a result of Enforcement,
or such party's successors and assigns (any such owner, and its successors and
assigns, being herein called "Owner"). However, nothing herein shall negate the
right of Owner to exercise the rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease,
including without
19
limitation the right to terminate this Lease as provided herein in the event of
an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, such Enforcement shall not
operate to waive or abate any action initiated by Landlord under this Lease to
terminate the same on account of such Event of Default. Tenant agrees to
subordinate its interest under this Lease to any ground lease, mortgage or deed
of trust lien hereafter placed on the Project, provided that as a condition to
such subordination, the party to whose interest Tenant subordinates its interest
hereunder shall execute and deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement
meeting the requirements of this Section.
22.3 Tenant agrees that so long as any Landlord's Mortgage shall be an
outstanding lien against the Office Building Project to the extent termination
is provided in this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice of such violation to
each Landlord's Mortgagee, and such Landlord's Mortgagee, and such Landlord's
Mortgagee shall have a reasonable time (but not less than thirty (30) days after
such notice) within which to remedy such violation or to begin the process of
covering such violation.
22.4 Except with respect to Tenant's purchase option described in
Section 36 of this agreement, nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed in
any way to limit, restrict or otherwise affect Landlord's absolute right at any
time and from time to time to convey, sell, assign, encumber or otherwise
transfer all or any portion of Landlord's interests in the Office Building
Project (subject to this Lease) or to assign, pledge or give a security interest
in all or any portion of its interest in this Lease and/or in all or any portion
of the Rent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Tenant's option to
purchase. Tenant shall recognize and honor any such sale, assignment,
encumbrance or transfer of which it receives Notice. Following any absolute
transfer, all liabilities and obligations on the part of the Landlord thereafter
accruing shall terminate (including, without limitation, the obligation, if any,
to return any funds held by it hereunder) provided the same are actually
delivered by Landlord to its Transferee.
22.5 Tenant understands and agrees that this Lease is and shall be
subject and subordinate to any and all Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions, Reciprocal Easement Agreements and other similar documents, and to
all amendments thereof (collectively, the "CC&Rs"), which now are or any time
hereafter affect the Office Building Project or any part thereof, irrespective
of their respective dates of recording, provided, however that the CC&Rs shall
not unreasonable impair the intended use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall
not use or occupy the Premises, or allow the same to be used or occupied, in any
manner which would cause a default, or an event which with the giving of notice
or passage of time or both would constitute a default, under the CC&Rs. Tenant
agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument without charge, which
may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by Landlord to further effect
the subordination of this Lease and Tenant's interest hereunder to all such
CC&Rs.
23. DEFAULT PROVISIONS
23.1 Each of the following shall constitute a material breach of this
Lease and an event of default by Tenant ("EVENT OF DEFAULT") hereunder:
(A) Tenant's failure to pay any installment of Rent within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of Notice of non-payment; or
(B) Tenant violates, breaches or fails to comply with any
other term, condition or provision of this Lease, and Tenant fails to cure such
violation, breach or non-compliance within thirty (30) days after Notice from
Landlord specifying such violation, breach or non-compliance; provided, however,
if such violation, breach or non-compliance (excluding the non-payment of any
sum due Landlord hereunder) cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)
day period and Tenant commences such cure promptly upon receipt of such notice
and thereafter diligently and continuously takes such action as may be necessary
to effect such cure, then Tenant shall have such longer period of
20
time, as may be reasonably necessary to cure such violation, breach or
non-compliance, it being understood that the cure provisions of this Section
23.1(b) shall not apply to any of the other Events of Default provided for in
this Section 23.1; or
(C) If Tenant (a "Debtor") shall file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or shall file any
petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, recapitalization,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or
future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable Law
("Bankruptcy Law"), or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment
of any trustee, custodian, receiver or liquidator of such Debtor or of all or
any substantial part of its properties or of Tenant's interests in the Premises
or any portion thereof, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
the same become due; or
(D) If, within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any
proceedings against any Debtor seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
recapitalization, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under
any Bankruptcy Law, such proceedings shall not have been finally vacated and
dismissed; or if , within sixty (60) days after the appointment, without the
consent or acquiescence of any Debtor, of any trustee, custodian, receiver or
liquidator of such Debtor or of all or any substantial part of its property or
of Tenant's interests in the Premises or any portion thereof, such appointment
shall not have been finally vacated and dismissed; or if, within thirty (30)
days after the levying or fixing of any order or writ of execution, warrant,
attachment or garnishment against Tenant's interests in the Premises or any
portion thereof, or against any Debtor, such order or writ shall not have been
finally vacated and dismissed; or
(E) If Tenant commits waste or otherwise breaches any of the
covenants contained in Sections 15 or 19 hereof, and Tenant fails to cure such
violation, breach or non-compliance within thirty (30) days after Notice from
Landlord specifying such violation, breach or non-compliance.
23.2 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, exercise any of the
following remedies, in addition to any others now or hereafter available to
Landlord at law or in equity, without such exercise being deemed (a) an
acceptance of surrender of the Premises, (b) a discharge of Tenant from
liability hereunder, or (c) a termination of this Lease (which only may occur by
Landlord's giving the notice referred to in Section 23.2(e) below):
(A) Re-enter and repossess the Premises or any part thereof by
all lawful means, and dispossess and remove Tenant and all other Persons and
property from the Premises, without liability therefor or for any loss or damage
occurring in connection therewith and without being deemed guilty of trespass
and without prejudice to any remedies which otherwise may be available to
Landlord. In no event shall any re-entry be deemed an acceptance of surrender of
the Premises and/or this Lease or construed as an election on Landlord's part to
terminate this Lease (which only may occur by Landlord's giving the notice
referred to in Section 23.2(e)below); nor shall it absolve or discharge Tenant
from liability under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such re-entry, or reletting
pursuant to Section 23.2(b) below, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect
to terminate this Lease for any future Event of Default.
(B) Attempt to re-let the Premises or any part thereof in the
name of Landlord, Tenant or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be
greater or less that the period, which would otherwise have constituted the
balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or
free rent) as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine, and
collect and receive the rent therefor. In no event, however, shall Landlord be
under any obligation to re-let the Premises or any part thereof other than to
make reasonable efforts to do so and to mitigate its damages, and Landlord shall
in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to re-let or for any failure
to collect
21
any rent due upon any such re-letting. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make
such renovations and repairs and other physical changes in and to the Premises
as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable or
necessary in connection with any such re-letting or proposed re-letting, without
relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any
such liability. Landlord may recover from Tenant Landlord's costs associated
with the reasonable alteration or repair of the Premises that is necessary and
proper in connection with preparing the Premises for reletting as office space;
provided, however, (1) such right of recovery shall be limited to an initial
amount of sixty percent (60%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance in the first
year of the Term and reduced by twenty percent (20%) per Lease year for each
lease year thereafter such that in the sixth year of the lease Term landlord
shall not be entitled to any recovery for such costs and expenses, and (2) such
right of recovery shall not apply in the event of the termination of the Lease
for any reason in accordance with Sections 11 (Damage or Destruction) or 12
(Condemnation) of this Lease.
(C) Bring suit to recover possession of the Premises and/or to
collect all Rent and other sums and charges payable by Tenant hereunder and/or
to specifically enforce any provision hereof and/or to seek damages.
(D) Collect, by suit or otherwise, each installment of Rent
(together with other sums payable by Tenant hereunder) as they became due,
and/or any deficiency (the "DEFICIENCY") between the Rent and the net proceeds
of any re-letting of the Premises (after first deducting from any re-letting
proceeds all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such re-entry
and/or re-letting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs,
brokerage and management commissions, operating expenses, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the
Premises for such re-letting). In any proceeding to enforce its rights and
remedies under this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to collect all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and experts' fees. Landlord shall be entitled to recover all such amounts
monthly or as the same shall arise and not suit to collect such amounts for any
period shall prejudice Landlord's right to collect such amounts for any prior or
subsequent period by a similar proceeding. Alternatively, Landlord shall have
the right to (a) accumulate such amounts and sue to recover the same from time
to time as Landlord may determine, or (b) accelerate Rent due hereunder for a
period of up to one (1) year from the period any Rent is past due and unpaid.
Except as expressly set forth herein, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a
credit in respect of any proceeds from any re-letting and then only to the
extent that such proceeds are actually received by Landlord. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, Landlord shall not have (and hereby waives
same if provided by applicable law) any right to accelerate rent and all other
amounts payable by Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall not have the right to sue
Tenant for any consequential, punitive or special damages (including, without
limitation, any claims for lost profits and/or lost business opportunity), or
sue Tenant for the cost to renovate the Premises for any prospective tenant
except as described in Section 23.2(b) above. In the event of any default by
Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate its damages.
23.3 Tenant, for and on behalf of itself and all Persons claiming by,
through or under Tenant (including, without limitation, Tenant's
trustee-in-bankruptcy and all of Tenant's creditors), hereby expressly waives,
so far as permitted by law, any and all rights which Tenant and all such Persons
have to (a) have a jury determine any issue in dispute between Landlord and
Tenant, (b) redeem the Premises or any portion thereof, (c) re-enter or
repossess the Premises or any portion thereof, and (d) restore the operation of
this Lease after Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment, writ or
other court order, or after any re-entry or repossession by Landlord, or after
any termination of this Lease, whether such dispossession, re-entry or
termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease. The terms "enter", "re-enter", "entry" or "re-entry", as used in this
Lease, are not and shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal
meanings.
22
23.4 If, following the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,
Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease or if this Lease shall terminate as
a result of or while there exists an Event of Default hereunder, any funds
(including interest earned thereon, if any) then held by Landlord or a
Landlord's Mortgagee in which Tenant has an interest may be applied by Landlord
for the purposes of curing any Event of Default and/or to pay any damages to
which Landlord is entitled hereunder. If this Lease is terminated, the balance
remaining, if any, shall be paid to Tenant.
23.5 Landlord will not be deemed in default under this Lease unless
Landlord violates, breaches or fails to comply with any term, condition or
provision of this Lease, and Landlord fails to cure such violation, breach or
non-compliance within thirty (30) days after Notice from Tenant specifying such
violation, breach or non-compliance; provided, however, if such violation,
breach or non-compliance cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day
period and Landlord commences such cure promptly upon receipt of such Notice and
thereafter diligently and continuously takes such action as may be necessary to
effect such cure, then Landlord shall have such longer period of time (not to
exceed sixty (60) days), as may be reasonably necessary to cure such violation,
breach or non-compliance. Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any
of its rights provided at law or in equity, subject to all limitations set forth
elsewhere in this Lease.
24. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
At any time during the Term, each party shall, within fifteen (15) days
after the other party's request, accurately complete, execute and return to the
other party an estoppel certificate concerning the status of the Premises and
this Lease as each party reasonably request. Each party's failure to do so shall
be an Event of Default hereunder. All such statements and/or certificates may be
conclusively relied upon by either party and/or any purchaser, encumbrancer, or
lender of a party's interest in the Office Building Project.
25. BROKERAGE
Tenant warrants to Landlord that Tenant dealt and negotiated solely and
only with Landlord for the Lease and with no other broker, firm, company or
person except: Select Real Estate by Stephanie Miller, Inc. Tenant (for good and
valuable consideration) shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all claims, suits, proceedings, damages, obligations,
liabilities, counsel fees, costs, losses, expenses, orders and judgments imposed
upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reasons of the falsity or
error of its own aforesaid warranty. Landlord shall be solely responsible for
all commissions due to Select Real Estate by Stephanie Miller, Inc. pursuant to
a separate written brokerage agreement which shall survive the termination of
this Lease.
26. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying all Rent as provided herein
and upon complying with all of its obligations hereunder, shall lawfully and
quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or
molestation by Landlord or by anyone lawfully claiming by, through or under
Landlord, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
27. ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
27.1 Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (a) the
person executing and delivering this Lease on Tenant's behalf has been duly
authorized to do so, (b) Tenant has full power, right and legal capacity to
enter into this Lease and to fully perform all of its obligations hereunder, (c)
if
23
Tenant is other than an individual, the exercise of such rights and powers has
been duly authorized by all requisite actions (and consented to by all necessary
third parties, if any), and (d) this Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance
with its terms.
27.2 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that (a) the person
executing and delivering this Lease on Landlord's behalf has been authorized to
do so, (b) it has authority to enter into this Lease, (c) to the best of its
knowledge, there are no pending or threatened condemnation proceedings affecting
all or any portion of the Premises, (d) to the best of Landlord's knowledge, the
use of the Premises by Tenant strictly in accordance with the provisions of
Section 15.1 hereof will not violate or be prohibited by any Law or CC&R's in
effect on the Lease Date, (e) the Office Building Project is in full compliance,
or will be once completed, with all applicable federal, state, and local laws,
ordinances, orders, rules, or regulations with respect to zoning, subdivision,
building, safety, fire protection, public access, or environmental matters, and
(f) the ground lease landlord under the Ground Lease has consented to this
Lease.
28. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Tenant agrees that (a) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease do
not constitute personal obligations of Landlord or of any members, directors,
officers, partners or shareholders of Landlord, (b) Tenant and all Persons
claiming by, through or under Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's interests
in the Office Building Project, and not to any other assets of Landlord or any
of its members, officers, directors, partners or shareholders for satisfaction
of any liability of Landlord with respect to this Lease, and (c) Tenant shall
not seek recourse against any of such members, directors, officers, partners or
shareholders or against any of their personal assets or any of Landlord's other
assets for such satisfaction, in the absence of fraud.
29. CONSENTS
Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that with respect to any approval or
consent required of it under this Lease as to which such party has expressly
agreed that it may not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent or approval,
it shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of any request for consent or
approval (except when another response time is specified in this Lease, in which
event such other time shall govern), respond in writing either granting or
denying the same and, if denied, stating therein with particularity the basis
for such denial. Failure to timely deny any such request shall be deemed to be
an approval thereof. No consent or approval by Landlord or Tenant shall be
deemed to waive or render unnecessary such party's consent or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party.
30. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS
Each of Landlord and Tenant agree that the other party's failure to
meet any of its obligations hereunder solely on account of the occurrence of
Unavoidable Delays shall not be deemed to be a default in the performance
thereof and that the applicable time limit with respect thereto shall be
extended for the same amount of time as that lost on account of the Unavoidable
Delays; provided, however, that no such extension shall apply to (a) extend the
time when any payment of Rent or any other sum is due from Tenant hereunder, or
(b) extend the length of the Term hereof. Each party further covenants that it
will use reasonable efforts to shorten any Unavoidable Delays, provided the
ability to do so is within such party's reasonable control. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease or any exhibit hereto,
governmental restriction or delay (including any delay by any governmental
authority with respect to approval of plans and specifications and/or the
issuance of permits for Tenant's Work) shall not be deemed Unavoidable Delays.
24
31. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
If at any time during the Term of this Lease hazardous substances are discovered
on or under the Premises, the Office Building, or the Project (the "Property")
in violation of any Environmental Law and such violation is not caused by the
acts of Tenant ("Environmental Violation"), then Landlord shall indemnify Tenant
against any and all loss, damages, claims or costs incurred by Tenant as a
result of such violation, and upon notice of same from Tenant, promptly remove
or otherwise eliminate the Environmental Violation from the Property in
accordance with all applicable laws ("Remedial Action") and without cost to
Tenant or interference with Tenant's use of the Premises. If Tenant's business
operations are materially affected by Landlord's Remedial Action, then Tenant
shall not be required to pay rent or any other charges payable by Tenant
hereunder until such time as Landlord has completed its Remedial Action and
Tenant can resume its normal business operations. Further, if Tenant's business
operations are materially affected by Landlord's Remedial action for a period of
more than one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant shall have the right to
either (a) abate all rental payments until all loss, cost and expense incurred
by Tenant in connection therewith have been reimbursed, and (b) terminate this
Lease.
Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any and all damage, claim, liability or loss, including reasonable
attorneys' and other fees arising out of the generation, treatment, storage or
disposal of Hazardous Substances by Tenant, its employees, agents and
contractors in the Premises.
32. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall comply with, and shall use its
reasonable efforts cause its employees, agents, visitors and invitees to comply
with, the rules and regulations of the Office Building set forth in the attached
EXHIBIT J. Landlord may makes changes and alterations to such rules and
regulations as are reasonably necessary for the safety, protection, care and
cleanliness of the Premises, the Office Building Project and the operation
thereof, the preservation of good order therein and the comfort of the tenants
in the Office Building consistent with class a building standards. In the event
of a conflict between the provisions of such rules and regulations and the terms
of this Lease, each as amended, the terms of this Lease shall control. Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to cause the tenants of the Office Building, and
their employees, agents, visitors and invitees, to comply with such rules and
regulations, as amended. Landlord shall not enforce such rules and regulations,
as amended, with respect to Tenant in a manner that is more restrictive than the
manner they are enforced as to any other tenant of the Office Building, or in a
manner which would materially and adversely impact Tenant's enjoyment of the
Premises.
33. MISCELLANEOUS
33.1 Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every provision
hereof. All references to days hereunder refers to calendar days, however, if
the time for the performance of any obligation hereunder expires on a day other
than a business day (any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or state or federal
legal holiday), the time for performance shall be extended to the next
succeeding day which is a business day.
33.2 No surrender or termination of this Lease, other than one
occurring at the natural end of the Term, shall operate as a merger of
Landlord's and Tenant's estates in the Premises, but instead shall, at
Landlord's option, either terminate any or all existing subleases or act as an
assignment to Landlord of any or all of the same.
33.3 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed as
creating a partnership, joint venture, principal and agent, or any other
relationship between Landlord and Tenant, other than that
25
of Lessor and Tenant, or cause Landlord to be responsible in any way for the
debts or obligations of Tenant.
33.4 In the event suit is brought or an attorney is retained by either
party to this Lease to enforce the terms of this Lease or to collect for the
breach hereof or for the interpretation of any provision herein in dispute, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other remedy,
reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, costs of investigation and other
related expenses incurred in connection therewith. If suit is commenced,
attorneys fees shall be fixed by the court.
33.5 If any person or entity not a party to this Lease shall institute
an action against Tenant or any other Tenant Party in which Landlord,
involuntarily and without any fault on its part, shall be made or attempted to
be made a party, or if Landlord shall be required to initiate, defend or appear
in any litigation on account of any act or omission of Tenant or any other
Tenant Party, then Tenant shall pay, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for,
from and against all claims, damage, loss, liability and expense (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith.
33.6 Landlord's rights, powers and remedies hereunder or at law or in
equity are cumulative and non-exclusive, and each may be pursued singularly,
consecutively or concurrently with any others. No remedial action taken
hereunder by or on behalf of Landlord shall constitute a cure or waiver of, or
an election of remedies with respect to, any default hereunder, or waive or
modify any notice thereof, or otherwise prejudice any rights, powers or remedies
of Landlord hereunder or at law or in equity.
33.7 Failure or delay of Landlord to exercise any right hereunder or to
enforce any breach hereof shall not operate as a waiver of such right or breach
or of any other right or breach.
33.8 The parties shall cooperate with each other to execute and deliver
such instruments and documents and take such actions as may be required, or as a
party may reasonably deem desirable, to effectuate the provisions and intent of
this Lease.
33.9 This Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings of the parties concerning the same. No provision of this
Lease shall be waived or altered or otherwise amended except pursuant to an
instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged and no consent to any
departure by any party from the provisions of this Lease shall be effective
pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the party who is claimed to have

34. OPTION TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE:
Provided that an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing,
Tenant shall have the option to lease (the "Lease Option") up to 10,000 square
feet of Rentable Area on the second floor of the Office Building (the "Option
Space") for a period of one (1) year from the Commencement Date of the Lease. To
exercise the Lease Option, Tenant shall provide Landlord with ninety (90) days
written notice, it being understood that the commencement of the lease for the
Option Space must occur within the period of one (1) year from the Commencement
Date of the Lease and that the Option space shall be incorporated into the
Premises hereunder and be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Base Rent
shall be increased in an amount equal to the per square foot Base Rent
multiplied by the number of additional square feet of Option space leased by
Tenant. Landlord will provide the same general level of fitout on a per square
foot basis as the original Premises with Rent payable by Tenant calculated in
the same manner provide for in the Lease. In the event that Tenant does not
exercise this option within the required period, this option shall expire and
Landlord shall be free to enter into an agreement to lease the Option Space to a
third party, subject to the first right of refusal contained in this Lease.
35. FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE:
Provided that an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing,
Tenant shall have the first right of refusal to lease all additional space (the
"Additional Space") in the Office Building. Upon receipt of a bona fide third
party offer to lease (the "Offer to Lease"), Landlord will provide Tenant with
written notice of its intent to lease the Additional Space and Tenant shall have
the option, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from
Landlord, to lease the Additional Space. The Additional Space shall be
incorporated into the Premises covered by this Lease and the Tenant Fit Out
[(amortized for the remaining balance of the term)] and Rent for such space
shall be computed in the same manner of this Lease on a per square foot basis.
In the event that Tenant does not exercise this option within such fifteen (15)
day period, this right of refusal shall lapse with respect to such lease and
Landlord shall be free to enter into an agreement to lease the Additional Space
to the third party. However, Tenant's right of first refusal shall be reinstated
and apply to such Additional space in the event such lease expires or terminates
in the future. Also any remaining Additional Space shall continue to be subject
to the refusal of first renewal in this Section 35.
36. OPTION TO PURCHASE
36.1 Provided that an Event of default has not occurred and is
continuing, Tenant shall have the right to purchase the Ground Lease and the
Office Building Project ("Option to Purchase") at any time during the Initial
Term or any Extension Term of this Lease upon giving notice in writing to
Landlord and the Ground Lease Landlord (the "Purchase Notice") prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or any Extension Term hereof of Tenants intention
to purchase the Premises. If Tenant exercises this Option to Purchase, then
Tenant shall purchase and the Ground Lease Landlord and the Landlord shall sell
their respective interests in the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the "Purchase Terms").
Upon the closing of title pursuant to the above-mentioned Purchase Terms, this
Lease shall terminate and end. The purchase price for the Premises shall be
determined by the procedure set forth below.
36.2 Ground Lease Landlord and Tenant agree to act reasonably and in
good faith to negotiate a purchase price for the Ground Lease and the Office
Building Project that will be equal to the then current fair market value of the
Ground Lease and the Office Building Project ("Purchase Price"). The
28
Ground Lease Landlord and the and Landlord shall independently agree to an
allocation of the Purchase Price between their respective interests. In no event
shall such allocation delay or prevent Tenant from closing under this Option to
Purchase. In the event the parties are unable to reach an agreement with respect
to the Purchase Price within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Notice then either
party may notify the other of its intent to have the Purchase Price determined
by appraisal. Such notice must identify the appraiser retained to make such
determination, which appraiser must be engaged full time as a real estate
appraiser and must be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers. A copy of such appraiser's report indicating the appraised fair
market value of the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project shall be
delivered, upon receipt, to the other party. If the fair market value contained
in the appraisal is not acceptable to the other party, such other party shall
then have thirty (30) days to retain a second appraiser to make a separate
determination and to submit a separate report indicating the fair market value
of the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project. Such second appraiser must
also be engaged full time as a real estate appraiser and must also be a member
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. A copy of such second
appraiser's report shall be delivered, upon receipt, to the other party. If the
appraised fair market value of the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project
according to such two (2) appraisal reports vary by ten (10%) percent or less,
then the fair market values indicated in the two (2) reports shall be averaged
and the value thus obtained, shall, for all purposes, conclusively be the
Purchase Price. If such values vary by more than ten (10%) percent then such two
(2) appraisers shall select a third appraiser, similarly qualified, who shall
determine the fair market value of the Ground Lease and the Office Building
Project, such determination to be conclusive on the parties. If the two (2)
appraisers fail to appoint such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after
delivery of the second appraiser's report, the third appraiser shall be
appointed by the presiding judge of the state court of general jurisdiction for
the county in which the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project are
located, and such third appraiser shall then individually determine the fair
market value of the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project, such
determination to be binding upon each of the parties. It is expressly agreed
that the determination of the fair market value of the Ground Lease and the
Office Building Project by a third appraiser (whether appointed by the prior two
(2) appraisers or such presiding judge) shall be a value that must be between
the values determined by the results of the prior two (2) appraisers, and the
submission of the dispute to such third appraiser shall so provide. It is
further expressly acknowledged, understood and agreed that such appraisals shall
determine the actual fair market value of the Ground Lease and the Office
Building Project for the purposes of determining the Purchase Price to be paid
under the Option to Purchase. In determining the fair market value of the Office
Building, the Appraisers shall consider: (1) with respect to the space affected
by the Lease, the fair market value rent for a comparable lease considering the
space taken, term, tenant improvement allowances and other relevant factors, (2)
the existence, or nonexistence, of other leases affecting the Office Building
other than this Lease, and (3) a developer profit of five percent (5%). The fair
market value of the Ground Lease and the Office Building Project as determined
by the above procedure shall be the Purchase Price for the Ground Lease and the
Office Building Project. Each party shall pay all costs, fees and expenses of
the appraiser appointed by it, and fifty (50%) percent of the costs, fees and
expenses of the third appraiser, if any. The Closing Date of the sale and
purchase shall be extended as necessary to complete the procedure set forth
above, and if extended, the Closing shall occur fifteen (15) days after the
Purchase Price is finally determined. In association with such sale, Landlord
agrees to enter into agreements with Tenant, or use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the association as the owner, to : (1) permit Tenant to utilize the
chiller plant for the property in the same manner designed with some equitable
arrangement for the sharing of the ongoing expenses of such chiller plant, and
(2) a reciprocal rights with respect to the use of any roadways and sidewalk
which provide access to the Office Building Project which are owned by Landlord,
or an assignment of Landlord's rights under similar agreements with the
association or any governmental entity. In the event that Tenant exercises such
option, Tenant shall either: (1) assume the Ground Landlord's and Lease
Landlord's mortgages encumbering the Office Building to the extent of the
Purchase Price, or (2) prepay such mortgages and pay any associated prepayment
penalties provided such penalties are reasonable and customary for mortgages of
such type.
29
36.3 Notwithstanding anything contain herein to the contrary, Tenant
agrees that the Purchase Price shall be the greater of the Purchase Price as
determined in accordance with Section 36.2 or the actual cost of the Ground
Lease and the Office Building Project (the "Office Building Project Cost") plus
a five percent (5%) developer profit ("Developer Profit") (as applied to the
Office Building Project Cost). The Office Building Project Cost shall be the
actual cost incurred by the Ground Lease Landlord in acquiring the land upon
which the Office Building Project is located and the Landlord for the
construction of the Office Building Project which cost shall include, but not be
limited to, the value of the land at the time of construction, all construction
costs, allocation of the cost of the chiller plant providing HVAC to the Office
Building Project, carrying and financing costs which are capitalized under
generally accepted accounting principles, and all project soft costs. Within six
(6) months of the Commencement Date of the Lease, Landlord will provide Tenant
with the cost breakdown and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to review. If
Tenant accepts Landlord's Office Building Project Cost, said cost plus Developer
Profit shall be deemed the minimum Purchase Price (the "Minimum Purchase Price")
to be paid by Tenant if it exercises the Option to Purchase. In the event that
Tenant wish to dispute the cost provided by Ground Lease Landlord and Landlord,
Tenant shall notify Ground Lease Landlord and Landlord of its intent to audit
Landlord's records, and Landlord shall make timely arrangements for Tenant's
representatives to conduct said audit or send such to Tenant's attorneys or
accountant's offices. In the event that Ground Lease Landlord and Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree on the Office Building Project Cost, both parties
agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration.
36.4 If Tenant exercises the Option to Purchase, the transfer of the
Office Building Project will be controlled by the provisions contained in
EXHIBIT "K".
36.5 Tenant, Landlord and Ground Lease Landlord agree execute and
deliver a memorandum of lease and option for recording in the public records of
Lee County, Florida within thirty (30) days after the date of execution of this
Lease Such memorandum shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant,
Landlord and Ground Lease Landlord.
37. CONSENT TO TRANSFER OF GROUND LEASE TO LANDLORD. Tenant
acknowledges that at some time during the term of this Lease the Ground Lease
landlord's may assign their interest in the Ground Lease to the Landlord. Tenant
consents to such transfer and agrees to execute any documents or certificates
reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with such assignment. Any
reasonable expenses of Tenant in reviewing such documents shall be reimbursed by
Landlord.
