thereof, shall be allocated entirely to the Building or to such other

payment against Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses next
becoming due. If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said

after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said statement.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT not required under this Lease. Lessee shall deposit
with Lessor upon Lessee's execution hereof the Security Deposit set forth in

said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to
reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense, loss or

thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security
Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefore

full amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent increases during
the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor,
deposit additional monies with Lessor as an addition to the Security Deposit
so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the
same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit
bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5. Lessor shall not
be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its
general accounts. Lessor shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of
the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee
(or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest
herein), that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the
Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or
other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by
Lessee under this Lease.
6. USE.
6.1 PERMITTED USE.
(a) Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the
Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other legal use which is
reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use
or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates waste
or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage
to the Premises or neighboring premises or properties.
(b) Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or
subtenants, and by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its
assignees and subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long
as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on
the Premises or in the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems
therein, does not conflict with uses by other lessees, is not significantly
more burdensome to the Premises or the Building and the improvements thereon,
and is otherwise permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects
to withhold such consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after
such request give a written notification of same, which notice shall include
an explanation of Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.
6.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. See FLA Para. 61
(a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical,
material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of
existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or
effect, either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to
be on the Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public
health, safety or welfare, the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated
or monitored by any governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential
liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any
applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include,
but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any
products or by-products thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in
or about the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter
defined) of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of
Lessor and compliance in a timely manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense)
with all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3). "REPORTABLE
USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground
storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation,
or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with
respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required

or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any
Applicable Laws require that a notice be given to persons entering or
occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior consent, but upon notice to
Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary
and customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the
normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable
Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any
meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability
therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so)
condition its consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by
Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in
its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises and the environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or
liability therefor, including but not limited to the installation (and, at
Lessor's option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier
termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the Premises
(such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional Security
Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.
(b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has
reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be
located in, on, under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as
previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor
written notice thereof, together with a copy of any statement, report,
notice, registration, application, permit, business plan, license, claim,
action, or proceeding given to, or received from, any governmental authority
or private party concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or
exposure to, such Hazardous Substance including but not limited to all such
documents as may be involved in any Reportable Use involving the Premises.
Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or
released in, on, under or about the Premises (including, without limitation,
through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system).
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect,
defend and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if
any, and the Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of
permits and attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any
Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone
under Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c)
shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or
injury to person, property or the environment created or suffered by Lessee,
and the cost of investigation (including consultants' and attorneys' fees and
testing), removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of
any contamination therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation or release
agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from its
obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, unless
specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.
See FLA Para. 61 & 71 *reasonable & appropriate
6.3 LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS. Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner,

easements and restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any

the Premises, including soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use,
generation, manufacture, production, installation, maintenance, removal,

(5) days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide Lessor with
copies of all documents and information, including but not limited to
permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and certificates,
evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements specified by
Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with
copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice,
citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving failure by
Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements.

employees, contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any
mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("LENDERS") shall

and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the
condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this
Lease and all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and
Lessor shall be entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection
therewith to advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but
not limited to Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring,
maintenance, or removal of any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises.
The costs and expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by the party
requesting same, unless a Default or Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a
violation of Applicable Requirements or a contamination, caused or materially
contributed to by Lessee, is found to exist or to be imminent, or unless the
inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority as the result

detection systems and equipment, fire hydrants, parking lots, walkways,
parkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems serving
the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing the services for
which there is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2.
Lessor shall not be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surfaces of
exterior walls nor shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or replace
windows, doors or plate glass of the Premises.
7.3 UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES, ALTERATIONS. See FLA
Para. 70.1
(a) DEFINITIONS; CONSENT REQUIRED. The term "UTILITY
INSTALLATIONS" is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution, security, fire protection systems, communications
systems, lighting fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning
equipment, plumbing, and fencing in, on or about the Premises. The term
"TRADE FIXTURES" shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be
removed without doing material damage to the Premises. The term
"ALTERATIONS" shall mean any modification of the improvements on the Premises
which are provided by Lessor under the terms of this Lease, other than
Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures. "LESSEE-OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR
UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined as Alterations and/or Utility
Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned by Lessor pursuant to
Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make or cause to be made any Alterations
or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make non-structural Utility
Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof) without
Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so long as they are not visible
from the outside of the Premises, do not involve puncturing, relocating or
removing the roof or any existing walls, or changing or interfering with the
fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and the cumulative cost thereof
during the term of this Lease as extended does not exceed $5,000.00.
(b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall
be presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. All consents
given by Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent
specific consent, shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring
all applicable permits required by governmental authorities; (ii) the
furnishing of copies of such permits together with a copy of the plans and
specifications for the Alteration or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to
commencement of the work thereon; and (iii) the compliance by Lessee with all
conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any
Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee during the term of this Lease
shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, with good and sufficient
materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable Requirements. Lessee
shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans and
specifications therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation to do so)
condition its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation
that costs $2,500.00 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost
of such Alteration or Utility Installation.
(c) LIEN PROTECTION. Lessee shall pay when due all claims
for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for
Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by
any mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest
therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior
to the commencement of any work in, on, or about the Premises, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the
Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same
and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered
thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises. If
Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against
liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the Premises
free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require
Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
7.4 OWNERSHIP, REMOVAL, SURRENDER, AND RESTORATION.
(a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require their
removal and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter
provided in this Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations
made to the Premises by Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee,
but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its
option, elect in writing to Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified
part of the Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless
otherwise instructed per Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and remain upon the
Premises and be surrendered with the Premises by Lessee.
(b) REMOVAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor
may require that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations
be removed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
notwithstanding that their installation may have been consented to by Lessor.
Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any
Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required consent of
Lessor. See FLA Para. 70.2
(c) SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the
Premises by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier
termination date, clean and free of debris and in good operating order,
condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear
and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been
prevented by good maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its
obligations under this Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified herein,
the Premises, as surrendered, shall include the Alterations and Utility
Installations. The obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any
damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's
Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations, as well as the removal of any storage tank installed
by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or remediation of any soil,
material or ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as may then be required
by Applicable Requirements and/or good practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures
shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee subject to
its obligation to repair and restore the Premises per this Lease.
8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.
8.1 PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. The cost of the premiums for the insurance
policies maintained by Lessor under this Paragraph 8 shall be a Common Area
Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy
periods commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease
shall be prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date or
Expiration Date.
8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE.
(a) CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of
insurance protecting Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been
provided to Lessee in writing (as additional insureds) against claims for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or
arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises
and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence
basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises"
endorsement and contain the "Amendment to the Pollution Exclusion"
*endorsement for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire.
The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured
person or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed
under this Lease as an "INSURED CONTRACT" for the performance of Lessee's
indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance required
by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not, however, limit the liability
of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance to be
carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar
insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance only.
(b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall also maintain liability
insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, in addition to and not in lieu
of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be
named as an additional insured therein.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE-BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.
(a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. Lessor shall obtain and keep
in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against
loss or damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement
cost, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by
any Lender(s), but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and
available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age
of the improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full
replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade
Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant
to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate,
Lessor's policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical
loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required
by a Lender), including coverage for any additional costs resulting from
debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any
ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any
undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed by
reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Said
policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu
of any co-insurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard
protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage
amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where
the Premises are located.
(b) RENTAL VALUE. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor,
with loss payable to Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full
rental and other charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for
one year (including all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area
Operating Expenses and any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may
provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured
loss, the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the
date of the completion of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide
for one full year's loss of rental revenues from the date of any such loss.
Said insurance shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any
co-insurance clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to
reflect the projected rental income, Real Property Taxes, insurance premium
costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise payable, for the next 12-month
period. Common Area Operating Expenses shall include any deductible amount in
the event of such loss.
(c) ADJACENT PREMISES. Lessee shall pay for any increase in
the premiums for the property insurance of the Building and for the Common
Areas or other buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused
by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(d) LESSEE'S IMPROVEMENTS. Since Lessor is the Insuring
Party, Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of
Lessor under the terms of this Lease.
8.4 LESSEE'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to the requirements of
Paragraph 8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at
Lessor's option, by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain
insurance coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures and
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations in, on, or about the
Premises similar in coverage to that carried by Lessor as the Insuring Party
under Paragraph 8.3(a). Such insurance shall be full replacement cost
coverage with a deductible not to exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds
from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement of
personal property and the restoration of Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request from Lessor, Lessee shall
provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises
are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders
Rating" of at least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a
Lender, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide."
Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the
insurance policies referred to in
* Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion is required only if Lessee has
products or supplies that would, by hostile fire, create a polution
consequence.

this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor, within seven
(7) days after the earlier of the Early Possession Date or the Commencement
Date, certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts
of, the insurance required under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such policy shall
be cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
"insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable
by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against
the other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to
the perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.
8.7 INDEMNITY. See replacement provision FLA Para. 71
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable
for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any
other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused
by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not.
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of
any other lessee of Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the
provisions of any other lease in the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding
Lessor's negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances
be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit
therefrom.
9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. See FLA Para. 72
9.1 DEFINITIONS.
(a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty
percent (50%) of the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of
the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
(b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty
percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures)
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. In addition, damage or
destruction to the Building, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building, the cost of
which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building) of the Building shall, at the
option of Lessor, be deemed to be Premises Total Destruction.
(c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the
insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a) irrespective of any deductible amounts
or coverage limits involved.
(d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or
rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes,
ordinances or laws, and without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the
occurrence or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a
contamination by, a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on,
or under the Premises.
9.2 PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial
Damage that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's
expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event, however,
that there is a shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to
the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the
Premises, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially
reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the
shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the
Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or
adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written
notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds
or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, Lessor shall
complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect. If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance
within said period, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee
within ten (10) days thereafter to make such restoration and repair as is
commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which
case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If Lessor does not
receive such funds or assurance within such ten (10) day period, and if
Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then this Lease shall
terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the damage or
destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have any
right to reimbursement from Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to
repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood
or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net
proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if
made by either Party.
9.3 PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial Damage
that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act
of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's
option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds
or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such
commitment from Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such
notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.
9.4 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
if Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however that the damage or destruction was caused by
Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee
except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7.
9.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair
exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this
Lease by (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage
in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the
repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10) days after
Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease,
or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee
duly exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's expense repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise
such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this
Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 9.5.
9.6 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii)
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible,
the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any,
payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or
condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated
in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried
under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area
Operation Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other
obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee
shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any
such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in
a substantial and meaningful way, the repair of restoration of the Premises
within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at
any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give
written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice
of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty
(60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice
to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender
commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. "COMMENCE" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the
unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the
beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
9.7 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case
Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by
Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
but subject
INITIALS: KEO
-----
SD
MULTI-TENANT--MODIFIED NET -5- -----
- -C- American Industrial Real Estate Association 1993
to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may at
Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance
Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the
estimated cost to investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000 whichever is greater, give
written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's
desire to terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date
of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's
intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10)
days after the receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of
Lessee's commitment to pay for the excess costs of (a) investigation and
remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition to the extent required by
Applicable Requirements, over (b) an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then
monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide
Lessor with the funds required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof
within thirty (30) days following said commitment by Lessee. In such event this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make
such investigation and remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the
required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide
the required funds or assurance thereof within the time period specified above,
this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.
9.8 TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment
made by Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not
been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this
Lease.
9.9 WAIVER OF STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of
this Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the
Premises and the Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and
hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is
inconsistent herewith.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Industrial Center, and except as
otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any such amounts shall be included in the
calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 4.2.
10.2 REAL PROPERTY TAX DEFINITION. As used herein, the term "REAL
PROPERTY TAXES" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Industrial Center by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state
or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage, or other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or any portion thereof,
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of
leasing the Premises. The term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall also include any
tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason
of events occurring, or changes in Applicable Law taking effect, during the term
of this Lease, including but not limited to a change in the ownership of the
Industrial Center or in the improvements thereon, the execution of this Lease,
or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or not
contemplated by the Parties. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any
calendar year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be
included in the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based
upon the number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.
10.3 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Common Area Operating Expenses shall
not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the
Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
10.4 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Building is not separately assessed,
Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion
of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within
the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other
information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.
10.5 LESSEE'S PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency
all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center.
When possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
If any of Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security, gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If
any such utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or
separately billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable
proportion to be determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or
billed with other premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time
periods set forth in Paragraph 4.2(d). Electrical & phone service to be in
Lessee's name and be paid directly by Lessee.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessor's consent will be
reasonable and timely

assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively,
"assign") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the
terms of Paragraph 36.
(d) An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in
this Lease without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's
option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1, or a
non-curable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If
Lessor elects to treat such unconsented to assignment or subletting as a
non-curable Breach, Lessor shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this
Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days' written notice ("LESSOR'S NOTICE"),
increase the monthly Base Rent for the Premises to the then fair market
rental value of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Lessor, or Pending
determination of the new fair market rental value, if disputed by Lessee,
Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in Lessor's Notice, with any
overpayment credited against the next installment(s) of Base Rent coming due,
and any underpayment for the period retroactively to the effective date of
the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the determination
thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the
purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be
subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value as reasonably
determined by Lessor (without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or
any deduction for depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises
at its highest and best use and in good condition) or one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the price previously in effect, (ii) any index-oriented rental or
price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to
require that the base index be determined with reference to the index
applicable to the time of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental
adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be
increased in the same ratio as the new rental bears to the Base Rent in
effect immediately prior to the adjustment specified in Lessor's Notice.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by
Lessor shall be pursuant to applicable laws.
12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, nor (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval
of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment nor the acceptance of any rent for performance shall constitute a
waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default
or Breach by Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting
shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by
Lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the
assignee or sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings
and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto
without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable under this Lease or the sublease
and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such
persons from liability under this Lease or the sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's
obligation under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any
Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, including any sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or
subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to
Lessor's determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not
limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if
any, together with a non-refundable deposit of $750.00, as reasonable
consideration for Lessor's considering and processing the request for
consent. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional
information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease
shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease,
be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform
and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation
herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said
assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has
specifically consented in writing. See Lease Para. 12.3 "*"

following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all
or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases
under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein: *
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all
or a portion of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and
Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as
defined in Paragraph 13.1) shall occur in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, Lessee may, except as otherwise provided in
this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing provision or any other
assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of the collection of the
rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such
sublessee under such Sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor
stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become
due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and
request from Lessor and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor
without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists
and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary.
Lessee shall have no right of claim against such sublessee, or, until the
Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and other charges
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance
of its obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such
sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of
such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid
rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any
other prior defaults or breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.
(c) Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the
sublessor under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.
(d) No sublessee under a sublease approved by Lessor shall
further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default
or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the
Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice.
The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against
Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee. *Notwithstanding, Lessee
is permitted to a sublease under these terms which may yield a profit to
Lessee.
13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney
is consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), and that Lessor may include the cost of such services
and costs in said notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A
"DEFAULT" by Lessee is defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with
or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to
Lessee under this Lease. A "BREACH" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of
any one or more of the following Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure
after notice is specified herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default
prior to the expiration of the applicable grace period, and shall entitle
Lessor to pursue the remedies set forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:

reoccupy same, or the abandonment of the Premises. without payment of rent.
(b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease,

Lessor with reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required under
this Lease, or the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this
Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure
continues for a period of five (5) days following written notice thereof by
or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee. See FLA Para. 7
(c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease,
the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in
duly executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable
Requirements per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service
contracts required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination
of this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of
Lessee's obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and
37, (vii) the execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42
(easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor
may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this lease, where any
such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice
by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under
Paragraph 40 hereof that are to be observed, complied with or performed by
Lessee, other than those described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c),
above, where such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee, provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed
to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if Lessee commences such cure within
said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code
Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days);
(iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within
thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure
of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty
(30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this
Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall
be of no force or effect, and shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement
of Lessee or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor,
was materially false.
(g)
13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written
notice to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at
its option (but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation
on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably
required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its own option, may require all future payments to be made under
this Lease by Lessee to be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a
Breach of this Lease by Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or
without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise
of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor
may: See FLA Para. 74
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises
by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall
terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises
to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i)
the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned
at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee
proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term
after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount
necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by
the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including
but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises,
expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the
Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees and that portion of any leasing
commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the
unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District in which
the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts
by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this
Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph
13.2. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy
of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor
may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit
for such rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under
Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay
rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee
under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer
shall also constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes
required by Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable
grace period under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after
the one such statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default
within the greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an
unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies
provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in
effect after Lessee's Breach and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided
Lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations. Lessor and Lessee agree that the limitations on assignment and
subletting in this Lease are reasonable. Acts of maintenance or preservation,
efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect
the Lessor's interest under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of
the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located.

(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters
occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's
occupancy of the Premises.
13.3
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to
incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon
Lessor by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from
Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10)
days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice
to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%)
of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by
reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with
respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the
other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge
is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.
13.5 BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this
Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a
reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt
by Lessor, and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been
furnished to Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying
wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however,
that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30)
days after such notice are reasonably required for its performance, then
Lessor shall not be in breach of this Lease if performance is commenced
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to
completion.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under
the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority
takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent
(10%) of the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the portion of the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is
taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in
writing within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written
notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days
after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this
Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If
Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises
remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion
as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable
floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the
condemnation does not apply to any portion of the Premises. Any award for the
taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain
or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the
property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for
diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as
severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation expenses
and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of the legal
and other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any
damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.
15. BROKERS' FEES.
15.1 PROCURING CAUSE. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are
the procuring cause of this Lease.
15.2 ADDITIONAL TERMS. Unless Lessor and Broker(s) have otherwise
agreed in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as
defined in Paragraph 39.1) granted under this Lease or any Option
subsequently granted, or (b) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or
other premises in which Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in
possession of the Premises with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of
the term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if
said Brokers are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale entered into
between the Parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent property
in which Lessor has an interest, or (e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by
agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then as to any of said
transactions, Lessor shall pay said Broker(s) a fee in accordance with the
schedule of said Broker(s) in effect at the time of the execution of this
Lease.
15.3 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation
of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this
Paragraph 15. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the
provisions of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its
interest in any commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right
directly against Lessor and its successors.
15.4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee and Lessor each
represent and warrant to the other that is has had no dealings with any
person, firm, broker or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in
connection with the negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or
entity other than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or
finder's fee in connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each
hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from
and against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any
such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings
or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or
attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
16. TENANCY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
16.1 TENANCY STATEMENT. See FLA Para. 75
16.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENT. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance,
or sell the Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee and all
Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by
Lessor such financial statements of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to
Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such
financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser
in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In
the event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in
this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by
credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such
transfer or assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such
transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid,
the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the
obligations and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by
the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in
this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the
Lessor as hereinabove defined.
18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10)
days following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the
date due at the prime rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the
state in which the Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but
not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential
late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties
under this Lease.
21. RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease are deemed to be rent.
22. NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains
all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned
herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding
shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the
Brokers that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation
as to the nature, quality, character and financial responsibility of the
other Party to this Lease and as to the nature, quality and character of the
Premises. Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto or with respect
to any default or breach hereof by either Party. Each Broker shall be an
intended third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 22.
23. NOTICES.
23.1 NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this
Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by
messenger or courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified or
registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or
by facsimile transmission during normal business hours, and shall be deemed
sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The
addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may
by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice
purposes, except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the
Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or
delivering notices to Lessee. A copy of all notices required or permitted to
be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party
or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter
designate by written notice to Lessee.

shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark

same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any notice is

holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's
consent to, or approval of, any such act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any
subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an
estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such
consent. Regardless of Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time
of accepting rent, the acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of
any Default or Breach by Lessee of any provision hereof. Any payment given
Lessor by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of moneys or damages
due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by
Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall

execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of
this Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.
26. NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this
Paragraph 26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to 125% of
the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such
expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
at law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All provisions of this Lease to be observed
or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be
governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any
litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be
initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.
30. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.
30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall
be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or
other hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now
or hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises
are a part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no
duty, liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor
under this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to
any such obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have
been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default
pursuant to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease
and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device
and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options
shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative
dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of
Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who
acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security
Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not:
(i) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to
events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any
offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or
(iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one month's rent.
30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered
into by Lessor after the execution of this lease, Lessee's subordination of
this Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance
agreement") from the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so
long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises.
30.4 SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30
shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided,
however, that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with
a sale, financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document
any such subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or
non-disturbance agreement as is provided for herein.
31. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or
proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the
Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or
appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may
be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not
such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term
"PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who
substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be,
whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other
Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fee award shall not
be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to
fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be
entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in preparation and
service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith,
whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with
such Default or resulting Breach. Broker(s) shall be intended third party
beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's
agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of
an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Building, as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time
place on or about the Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and
Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the
term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.
All such activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of rent or liability
to Lessee. See FLA Para. 76
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without
first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to
exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such
consent.
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the
Premises or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written
consent, install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required
to advertise Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location
designated by Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage
criteria established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of
any sign on the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and
Alterations). Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all
rights to the use of the roof of the Building, and the right to install
advertising signs on the Building, including the roof, which do not
unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be
entitled to all revenues from such advertising signs. See FLA Para. 77
35. TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing
by Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for
Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate
in the Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall in the event of any such
surrender, termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one
or all of any existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days
following any such event to make a written election to the contrary by
written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute
Lessor's election to have such event constitute the termination of such
interest.
36. CONSENTS.
(a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as
otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is
required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and
expenses (including but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers'
and other consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response
to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or
the Premises, including but not limited to consents to an assignment a
subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation
therefor. In addition to the deposit described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor
may, as a condition to considering any such request by Lessee, require that
Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of money (in addition to the Security
Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably calculated by Lessor to represent
the cost Lessor will incur in considering and responding to Lessee's request.
Any unused portion of said deposit shall be refunded to Lessee without
interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of this Lease or subletting
of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no
Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
consent.
(b) All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this
Lease are acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify
herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the
impositions by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other
conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for
which consent is being given.
37. GUARANTOR.
37.2 ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR.
38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the
Premises and the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and
provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease,
Lessee shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

by any person or entity other than said original Lessee while the original
Lessee is in full and actual possession of the Premises and without the
intention of thereafter assigning or subletting. The Options, if any, herein
granted to Lessee are not assignable, either as a part of an assignment of
this Lease or separately or apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated
from this Lease in any manner, by reservation or otherwise.
39.3 MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later option cannot be exercised
unless the prior Options to extend or renew this Lease have been validly
exercised.
39.4 EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary: (i)
during the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under
Paragraph 13.1 and continuing until the noticed Default is cured, or (ii)

under Paragraph 13.1 during the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the exercise of the Option, whether or not the Defaults are cured.

exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability
to exercise an Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 39.4(a)
(c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding
Lessee's due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and
during the term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary
obligation of Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation
becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to
Lessee), or (ii) Lessor gives to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate
Defaults under Paragraph 13.1 during any twelve (12) month period, whether or
not the Defaults are cured, or (iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this

and observe all reasonable rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations")
which Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and

grant, without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of
way, utility raceways, and dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to
cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights of way, utility raceways, dedications, maps and
restrictions do not reasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by
Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.
43. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such
payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive
the right on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such
sum. If it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part
of said Party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be
entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally
required to pay under the provisions of this Lease.

47. AMENDMENTS. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by
the parties in interest at the time of the modification. The Parties shall
amend this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made
to the Base Rent or other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do
not materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make
such reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional insurance company or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the
property of which the Premises are a part.
48. MULTIPLE PARTIES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if
more than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or Lessee,

responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Lessor or
Lessee.

FIRST LEASE ADDENDUM
TO STANDARD AIR INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL MULTI-TENANT LEASE-MODIFIED NET
In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the
provisions of the printed form of the AIR Lease, the provisions of the
Addendum shall govern. Therefore, the following provisions shall amend that
certain Lease agreement between Sun River Properties, Inc. as "Lessor" and
Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. as "Lessee", dated for reference purposes
only, May 1, 1998 and affecting that certain Property known as 4403 Table
Mountain Drive, Suite "B", Golden, Colorado, Jefferson County:
49. PARKING
Tenant's allotted thirty (30) non-exclusive parking spaces to include
twenty four (24) non-exclusive spaces located in the surface lot
directly in front of the Premises, and the balance to be located either
within the surface lot directly behind the Building or within the
surface lot directly adjacent to the Building. Lessee shall not be
charged rent in any form, or a toll, for the use of these parking spaces
for the life of the term and options.
50. LEASE TERM COMMENCEMENT
Conditioned upon the Lessee's ratification and execution of the final
Lease agreement by no later than May 1, 1998, the Commencement Date of
the Lease will be July 1, 1998. Lessor shall then be obligated to
deliver the Premises to Lessee in "Substantially Completed" condition on
or before July 1, 1998 under the terms of this Lease. Should Lessee
delay in executing the final Lease agreement beyond May 1, 1998, the
Commencement Date, and the date upon which Lessor will be obligated to
turn over the Premises in Substantially Complete condition, will be the
date which is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date as defined in
Paragraph 66 of this Lease. Should the latter occur, a separate written
agreement will be attached to the Lease in the form of a "SECOND LEASE
ADDENDUM" documenting the revised and true Effective Date and
Commencement Date of the Lease.
Should Lessor anticipate Substantially Completing the Premises prior to
July 1, 1998, Lessor shall notify Lessee ten (10) days in advance of the
date upon which Lessor expects to deliver the Premises to Lessee.
"Substantial Complete" is defined as the completion of the Tenant
Improvements whereby the Lessor's architect, engineer or general
contractor states that the Premises has been completed in accordance
with the plans and specifications except for minor items needing
correction ("punchlist items"), which do not materially affect the
building, and upon the earlier date of a) issuance of a certificate of
occupancy by the jurisdiction with inspection authority or b) issuance
of a temporary certificate of occupancy, either formally or informally
issued, by the jurisdiction having inspection authority. An "informal
certificate of occupancy" is defined as either a written or verbal
authorization by authorized personnel of the inspecting entity which
allows the tenant to occupy the space subject to defined conditions.
Should Lessor fail to deliver the Premises to the Lessee as agreed to
herein, the Lessee will be permitted the rights and actions set forth in
Addendum Paragraph 55.
51. BASE RENT SCHEDULE/RENT INCREASES

First Lease Addendum - May 1, 1998
default of its Lease or delinquent in rental payments prior to the time of
Notice or expiration of the primary lease term or first option period.
OPTION RENT: The monthly rental rate of the option period shall be
established at the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for space in comparable class
buildings in the same submarket. In the event Lessor and Lessee are unable
to agree on a FMR rental rate, the Lessor shall hire, at its own expense,
an independent rent appraiser to determine FMR. Should Lessee disagree with
the rent appraisal, Lessee will then hire its own independent rent
appraiser to establish the FMR lease rate. The resulting two appraisals
shall be averaged, yielding the proposed lease rate. Should Lessor and
Lessee disagree as to this Value, the two shall mutually select a third
rent appraiser who shall, at its option, decide between the two values
previously established, or conduct an investigation to establish its own
value. The decision rendered by the third rent appraiser will be the final
base lease rate for the first year of the Option period. A schedule for
annual rent adjustments shall be negotiated to reflect conditions in the
market at the time each option is exercised.
53. RIGHT TO EARLY TERMINATION
Lessee shall have the option to terminate the Lease effective anytime after
the end of the sixtieth (60th) month of the Lease term. Lessee shall give
no less than six (6) months written notice ("Termination Notice") to Lessor
in order to exercise its right to terminate the Lease. In exchange for
invoking its right to terminate, Lessee shall pay, due upon the Termination
Effective Date, the amount of the unamortized cost of both (a) the Tenant
Improvements in excess of $75,000 provided by Lessor as outlined in this
First Addendum and (b) the brokerage commissions paid by Lessor to Lessor's
broker and Lessee's broker. The combined amounts of (a) and (b) shall be
deemed the "Termination Payment". Amortization of the Termination Payment
will be based on a seven (7) year period and shall be computed at an annual
compound interest rate of ten percent (10%). The Calculation of the
Termination Payment has been set forth in the attached EXHIBIT E using the
Estimated TI Amount of $170,000.00 pursuant to Paragraph 57. The
Termination Payment is subject to the cost of any changes that the Lessee
is permitted to make pursuant to Paragraph 58 of this Addendum. Should
Lessee's changes cause the Termination Payment to increase according to
Paragraph 58, then a written Amendment to EXHIBIT E will be prepared and
incorporated into the Lease as EXHIBIT E-2 memorializing the change and
amending the Termination Payment accordingly. "Termination Effective Date"
is hereby defined as the date which is six (6) months following the date
upon which Lessor's receives Lessee's Termination Notice.
54. PAYMENT OF NET CHARGES
Lessee shall be responsible for all net charges based on 15.38% of the
building. Net charges include all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
connection with the property, without exception other than as agreed to in
this Lease, including but not limited to all property taxes, utility
charges, common area maintenance fees, assessment bond payments and Coors
Technology Center Owners Association dues.
55. DELAY IN POSSESSION
Should the Lessor fail to turn over the Premises in Substantially Complete
condition by July 1, 1998, the Lessee shall be granted one (1) day of base
rent and Common Area Operating Expense abatement, collectively as "Penalty
Free Rent", for each one (1) day of

First Lease Addendum - May 1, 1998
Lessor's delay beyond July 1, 1998. The Penalty Free Rent will be in
addition to the abated rent already granted the Lessee under this Lease.
Should Lessor's delays exceed September 1, 1998, the Lessee shall have the
right to terminate the Lease without penalty. Should Lessee elect to
terminate the Lease, it shall give the Lessor notice of its intent to do so
by no later than August 25, 1998. Lessee's failure to give notice forfeits
the right to cancel the Lease under this provision and abatement will
continue until the Lessor delivers the Premises as agreed.
Lessor's obligation to deliver the Premises by July 1, 1998, and therefore
the Lessee's ability to enforce the provisions of this Paragraph 55, are
subject to the conditions and terms further defined in Paragraph 50 of this
Addendum. If the Lease is not ratified and executed by May 1, 1998, then
all the dates of this provision will be adjusted accordingly and set forth
in a "SECOND LEASE ADDENDUM".
Lessee will not have the rights set forth in this Paragraph 55 should
delays occur for any of the following reasons: (a) acts of God or "force
majure" which cause delays in the construction or approval process, (b)
delays in the local government approval processes which are not due to the
Lessor's negligence or that of its contractor, (c) Lessee's failure to
deliver to the Lessor in timely manner, and within mutually agreed upon
deadlines set forth in EXHIBIT D-3, it's approved specifications and Tenant
Improvement plans, (d) Lessee failure to respond in a timely manner
throughout the design and construction process to matters which effect
Lessor's ability to deliver the Premises as agreed and within the time
agreed.
56. BROKERAGE COMMISSION
Lessor shall pay brokerage commissions pursuant to EXHIBIT H of this Lease
to the following brokerage firms: to CB Commercial, Denver Office as
Lessor's exclusive agent and to CFC / CRESA as Lessee's exclusive agent.
57. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
Lessor shall cause to be constructed in the Premises, at its sole cost, the
Tenant Improvements outlined in EXHIBIT C-1, Lessee's Proposed Tenant
Improvement Floor Plan, and as further set forth by Lessee in EXHIBIT D-1,
Lessee's Proposed Schedule of Improvements and EXHIBIT B, Lessee's Proposed
Electrical and Lighting Schedule. The "Estimated TI Amount" of the Tenant
Improvements outlined in Exhibits B, C-1 and D-1 is One Hundred Seventy
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($170,000.00). This amount shall be used in the
calculation of the Termination Payment subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 58 of this First Addendum. Lessor and Lessee shall upon
completion and mutual approval of such, add as Exhibit C-2 a reduced legal
size copy of the Lessee's Final Tenant Improvement Floor Plan and as
EXHIBIT D-2 a copy of the Lessor's Scope of Work for Tenant Improvements,
based on the Lessee's Final Floor Plan.
58. SCOPE OF WORK/BUILDING DESIGN/CHANGE ORDERS
To be attached hereto and incorporated as part of this Lease will be
EXHIBIT D-2. EXHIBIT D-2 will provide both parties with a set of
construction specifications, assumptions and exclusions which are based on
the Lessee's Final Tenant Improvement Floor Plan to be attached, and
reduced to legal size form, as EXHIBIT C-2 upon Lease execution, or as soon
as reasonably practical upon Lease execution, or within the time frames set
forth in EXHIBIT D-3. Lessee is permitted to make changes ("Change Orders")
up to an aggregate amount of $5,000.00 ("Change Limit") beyond the
$170,000.00 Estimated TI Amount without effecting the lease rate or the
Termination Payment. Should Lessee elect to make changes, it will put its
request in writing to the Lessor, and the Lessor shall provide Lessee with
the costs, in writing, associated with the change required by Tenant. If
Lessee accepts the Change Order costs and these costs are in excess the
Change Limit, or if these costs when combined when previous Change Orders
exceed the Change Limit, then Lessee shall either; a) pay in cash, or
certified funds, the cost of the Change Order(s) in excess of the $5,000.00
Change Limit, or b) if, and only if, the aggregate costs of all
INITIALS: KEO

Change Orders exceed the Change Limit by more than $10,000, Lessee may
elect to increase the rental rate based on the cost of the Change Order(s)
which will be fully amortized over the seven year term at ten percent (10%)
per annum. Change Orders executed after the Lease Commencement Date will be
subject to an amortization schedule based on the remaining term of the
Lease. Upon the occurrence of option (b), the amortized amount of the
improvements will be added to the Termination Payment and be incorporated
into the Lease as EXHIBIT E-2.
