from
month-to-month upon and subject to the same terms and conditions of
this

occurs,
computed an a daily basis.

calendar
month shall be an amount equal to: (i) the Rent otherwise then in
effect;
divided by (ii) the number of days in the full calendar month
during which
the Lease Term commences or expires, respectively; and multiplied
by (iii)
the number of days in the partial calendar month after and
including the
Commencement Date or before and including the Expiration Date,

Tenant's
Percentage of the Common Area Expenses and Tenant's Percentage of
the Real
Property Taxes for each calendar year or portion thereof during the
Lease Term,

shall pay
to Landlord Tenant's Percentage of the estimated Common Area
Expenses and
Real Property Taxes on a monthly basis as specified in Sections
1(i) and 5

(b) Annual Adjustments. During the last month of each calendar
year
(or as soon thereafter as practicable), Landlord shall give Tenant
notice
of Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Percentage of the
Common Area
Expenses and Real Property Taxes for the following calendar year
during the
Lease Term. On or before the first day of each month during the
following
calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as part of the Monthly
Rent,
one-twelfth (1/12) of such new estimated amount, provided, that if
Landlord
fails to give such notice in the last month of the prior year, then
Tenant
shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year's estimate
until the
first day of the calendar month next succeeding the date such
notice is
given by Landlord, and from the first day of the calendar month
following
the date such notice is given, Tenant's payments shall be adjusted
so that
Landlord's estimated amount for that calendar year will be fully
paid by
the end of that calendar year. If Landlord reasonably determines
that
Tenant's Percentage of Common Area Expenses and Real Property Taxes
for the
current calendar year will substantially vary from its estimate
given to
Tenant, Landlord, by not less than thirty (30) days' notice to
Tenant, may
one time each calendar year revise its estimate for such calendar
year, and
subsequent payments by Tenant for such calendar year shall be based
upon
such revised estimate.
(c) Annual Reconciliation. As soon as reasonably practicable after
the
beginning of each calendar year during and immediately following
the Lease
Term, and in no event later that May 1st of each year, Landlord
shall
deliver to Tenant a statement (the "ANNUAL EXPENSE STATEMENT")
certified by
Landlord's chief financial officer or certified public
accountants
designated by Landlord of Tenant's Percentage of the actual Common
Area
Expenses and Real Property Taxes for the preceding calendar year
during the
Lease Term, which statement shall include a detailed itemization of
the
Common Area Expenses and Real Property Taxes and calculation of
Tenant's
Percentage of the Common Area Expenses and Real Property Taxes. If
the
Expense Statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less than
the
payments for the preceding calendar year previously made by
Tenant,
Landlord shall credit such amount to the next payment(s) of Monthly
Rent
due under this Lease (or in the case of the end of the Lease Term,
refund
Tenant for the amount of such overpayment). If the Annual Expense
Statement
shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the payments for
the
preceding calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay
the
deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30)
10
<PAGE>
days after delivery of the Annual Expense Statement and Landlord's
written
demand therefor.
(d) Right to Audit. If, within 120 days after Tenant's receipt of
the
Annual Expense Statement, Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant
desires to
audit or review all materials, invoices or receipts related to the
Annual
Expense Statement, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to permit
such
audit or review during normal business hours, and all costs and
expenses
incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by Tenant. If
Tenant
commences an audit in accordance with this Section, then such audit
and the
Tenant's auditor's report must be completed within sixty (60) days
of
Tenant's notice to Landlord of Tenant's desire to audit. If
Landlord has
overcharged Tenant in any calendar year regarding Tenant's
Percentage of
Common Area Expenses and Real Property Taxes, then Landlord shall
be
responsible and reimburse Tenant for all costs associated with such
audit
up to (but not exceeding) the amount of the overcharge; otherwise,
Tenant
shall be responsible for such costs.
(e) Controllable Common Area Expenses. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be
required to
pay as Tenant's Percentage of Common Area Expenses the increase
in
Controllable Common Area Expenses for any given calendar year that
exceed,
based on a cumulative basis over the Lease Term, three percent (3%)
of the
previous calendar year's Controllable Common Area Expenses.
(f) Partial Year Prorations. If this Lease commences on a day
other
than the first day of the calendar year or ends on a day other than
the
last day of a calendar year, the amount of the payments pursuant to
this
Section 6 payable by Tenant with respect to the year in which
such
commencement or end occurs will be prorated on the basis that the
number of
days of the Lease Term included in the year bears to 365. The end
of this
Lease will not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant
pursuant to
Sections 6(c) and 6(d) to be performed after that end.
(g) Real Property Taxes. Landlord shall pay and discharge when due
and
without penalty all Real Property Taxes (defined below) levied on,
against,
or with respect to the Property, including, without limitation,
the
Building and the Common Area.
(h) Payment by Tenant. Tenant's Percentage of the amount of
Real
Property Taxes shall be based on those amounts levied against the
Property
and the Building that are due and payable during each calendar year
during
the Lease Term, except as otherwise expressly provided below with
respect
to back-taxes.
(i) Real Property Taxes Defined. The term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES"
means
any form of real property taxes, assessments, special assessments,
fees,
charges, levies, penalties, service payments in lieu of taxes,
excises,
assessments and charges for transit, housing or any other
purposes,
impositions or taxes of every kind and nature whatsoever, assessed
or
levied or imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect
power to
tax, including, without limitation, any city, county, state, or
federal
government, or any
11
<PAGE>
improvement or assessment district of any kind, whether or not
consented to
or joined in by Tenant, against the Property and Building or any
legal or
equitable interest of Landlord in the Property and Building,
whether now
imposed or imposed in the future. Real Property Taxes shall not
include:
(i) general gross receipts taxes; (ii); income taxes; (iii)
capital, stock
or franchise taxes; (iv) transfer taxes; (v) mortgage or other
debt-related
taxes; (vi) gift, estate or inheritance taxes; (vii) any other
taxes not
customarily passed-through to tenants; or (viii) penalties,
interest or
other charges resulting from the late payment of taxes. In no event
shall
any back-taxes attributable to periods prior to the Commencement
Date be
included in Real Property Taxes payable by Tenant. Any assessments
shall
not be included in Real Property Taxes for any year if and to the
extent
that the same are not required to be paid in that year.
(j) Contesting Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall have the right
to
contest in the manner prescribed by law and otherwise in a
reasonable and
diligent manner, the calculation of Real Property Taxes levied on,
against
or with respect to the Property or the valuation of the Leased
Premises for
purposes of calculating such Real Property Taxes, subject if (i)
Tenant
determines in good faith that such Real Property Taxes have
been
incorrectly calculated or the Leased Premises has been overvalued
for
purposes of calculating such Real Property Taxes (the "TAX
DISPUTE"); (ii)
Tenant delivers to Landlord a written notice describing the Tax
Dispute and
the proposed contest with particularity; and (iii) if such contest
is to be
made during the last two years of the Initial Lease Term or an
Extension
Term, as the case may be, Landlord does not object to the proposed
contest
within ten days after receipt of such notice, which objection shall
be made
only on a reasonable basis. Pending resolution of the Tax Dispute,
Tenant
shall pay the amount of the Real Property Taxes levied on, against
or with
respect to the Leased Premises as may be required by the Applicable
Laws;
provided that, if the Applicable Laws do not require Tenant to pay
the full
amount of such Real Property Taxes pending resolution of the Tax
Dispute,
then, after resolution of the Tax Dispute, Tenant shall pay any
unpaid
amount of such Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pursue its Tax
Dispute at
Tenant's cost and expense, and if and to the extent Tenant is
successful in
such challenge, Landlord shall cause to be paid (or to reimburse
Tenant, as
the case may be) all of Tenant's reasonable out-of-pocket
attorneys' and
consultants' fees and other costs of pursuing such contest up to
(but not
exceeding) the savings resulting from such challenge.
7. LATE CHARGES. If Tenant fails to pay the applicable Monthly
Rent
installment within five (5) days after the date such payment was
due, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to the lesser of (i)
five percent
(5%) of the amount overdue or (ii) $3,500 (the "LATE CHARGE"),
provided that no
such Late Charge shall be due or owing with respect to the first
delinquency
within each calendar year during the Lease Term if the same is paid
within ten
(10) days after the applicable due date.
8. PLACE OF PAYMENTS. All payments of Rent required to be made, and
all
statements required to be rendered, by Tenant to Landlord shall be
delivered to
Landlord at its address set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, or
to such
other address as Landlord specifies to Tenant in accordance with
Section 27,
subject to the rights of Tenant under Section 5(d) above.

9. CONSTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES, BUILDING AND PROPERTY.
(a) Landlord's Work. Landlord at its sole expense shall construct
on
or before October 1, 2006 (the "TARGET COMPLETION DATE") the
Leased
Premises, the Building and the Common Area in compliance in all
material
respects with (i) Specifications as set forth in the Construction
Addendum
(the "FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS"); (ii) all Laws, including,
but not
limited to, those pertaining to seismic safety, handicapped
access,
Environmental Laws (as defined below) and building codes applicable
to the
Property and Building; and (iii) the terms, conditions and
provisions of
the Construction Addendum.
(b) Construction Deadlines.
(i) If the Substantial Completion Date does not occur on or
before
the Target Completion Date, and if said delay is due to a
Tenant
Delay or an Unavoidable Delay, the Target Completion Date shall
be extended by one (1) day for each day that the Tenant Delay
or
the Unavoidable Delay continues and delays the Substantial
Completion of the Landlord's Work.
(ii) If the Substantial Completion Date does not occur by the
Target
Completion Date due to Landlord Delay, then for the first ten
(10) business days of delay, Tenant shall be entitled to abate
one (1) day of Base Rent and one (1) day of Additional Rent for
each one (1) day that Substantial Completion is delayed, which
abatement shall be applied to and credited against the first
rental payment(s) due and owing from Tenant until said
abatement
is fully utilized.
(iii) If Substantial Completion is delayed past the Target
Completion
Date by more than ten (10) business days, then for each day
after
said tenth (10th) business day, Tenant shall be entitled to
abate
two (2) days of Base Rent and two (2) days of Additional Rent
for
each one (1) day that Substantial Completion is delayed beyond
said tenth (10th) business day, which abatement shall be
applied
to and credited against the next rental payment(s) due and
owing
from Tenant until said abatement is fully utilized.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this
Lease,
in the event that the Substantial Completion Date, has not
occurred on or before January 3, 2007 (the "TERMINATION DATE")
due to any reason other than Tenant Delays, Tenant shall have
the
right to terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord in writing
within seven (7) days after the Termination Date, provided,
however, that Landlord shall have the right to vitiate such
termination by Tenant by causing Substantial Completion to
occur
no later than ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant's
notice of termination. Landlord shall continue to diligently
prosecute the Work to Substantial Completion unless and until
Tenant shall have exercised its right to terminate this Lease.
13
<PAGE>
(v) Any and all rental abatements and other credits to which
Tenant
is entitled pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to
any
other credit or other abatement owing to Tenant under this
Lease.
(c) Acceptance of Leased Premises. Provided that Landlord's Work
is
Substantially Completed prior to the Termination Date, Tenant shall
accept
the Leased Premises on the date of Substantial Completion, subject
to the
Punch List (as hereinafter defined), subject to latent defects, and
subject
to any Warranty Item.
(d) Correction Obligations. Within fifteen (15) days after
Tenant's
receipt of the Completion Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall use
their
commercially reasonable efforts to inspect the Leased Premises to
compile a
written list of punch list items (the "PUNCH LIST"). The
compilation of,
and agreement to, a Punch List (or the failure to compile or agree
to a
Punch List) shall not constitute a waiver by Tenant of any of
Landlord's
obligations with respect to the Warranty Items or any other
obligation of
Landlord under this Lease. All Punch List items must be completed
as soon
as reasonably possible and in any event within sixty (60) days
after the
Commencement Date, except for any emergency Punch List items,
which
emergency Punch List items shall be corrected immediately after
their
discovery. Landlord promptly shall correct any latent defects and
Warranty
Items within 120 days after receipt of the written notice thereof,
except
for any emergency latent defects or Warranty Items, which emergency
latent
defects and Warranty Items shall be corrected immediately after
their
discovery. If Landlord fails to correct a Punch List item, latent
defect or
Warranty Item within the period specified under this Section, then
Tenant
shall have the right to correct such Punch List item, latent defect
or
Warranty Item, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant on demand for
the
reasonable costs and expenses of such correction, provided that,
if
Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant on demand for the reasonable
costs and
expenses of such correction, then the terms and conditions of
Section 22
shall apply. On or before the Commencement Date, Landlord shall
deliver to
Tenant a list of all warranties that: (i) are extended to Landlord
by
manufacturers, suppliers or subcontractors in connection with
the
completion of Landlord's Work; and (ii) cover those parts of the
Leased
Premises, if any, that Tenant is obligated to maintain under
Section 15
(the "CONTRACTOR WARRANTIES"); and, upon the expiration of the
Warranty
Period, Landlord shall assign to Tenant all of the Contractor
Warranties.
Landlord shall enforce, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, on
behalf of
Landlord and Tenant, all of: (i) the Contractor Warranties; (ii)
the
obligations of the warrantors under all of the Contractor
Warranties; and
(iii) any obligations of subcontractors to correct defects in
Landlord's
Work or deviations from the Final Plans and Specifications. If, for
any
reason other than: (i) an action or omission of a Tenant-Related
Party; or
(ii) the bankruptcy, insolvency, or dissolution of the warrantor,
any of
the Contractor Warranties become void or unenforceable, then,
during the
Warranty Period, Landlord shall honor any such Contractor
Warranties as
though the Contractor Warranties originally had been made by
Landlord. If,
as a result of an action or omission of Landlord or its employees,
agents,
contractors, invitees, or licensees, any Contractor Warranty
becomes void
or unenforceable, then, during the period of such Contractor
Warranty,
Landlord shall honor the Contractor Warranty as though the
Contractor
Warranty originally had been made by Landlord. Nothing contained
herein
14
<PAGE>
shall be deemed or construed so as to waive or modify any of
Landlord's
obligations under Section 15 below.
(e) Construction Guaranty. Landlord guarantees Landlord's Work
against
defective workmanship and/or materials, and against a failure to
comply
with Landlord's Compliance Obligations in accordance with this
Lease, for a
period of one (1) year from the date of the Substantial Completion
of
Landlord's Work. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, will
repair or
replace any defective item occasioned by poor workmanship and/or
materials,
or occasioned by a failure to comply with Landlord's Compliance
Obligations
in accordance with this Lease, of which Tenant gives Landlord
written
notice within such one (1)-year period. Performance of such one
(1)-year
guaranty will be Landlord's sole and exclusive obligation with
respect to
defective workmanship and/or materials or a failure to comply
with
Landlord's Compliance Obligations in accordance with this
Lease.
10. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
11. USE OF LEASED PREMISES. The Leased Premises may be occupied and
used as
a facility for uses set forth in Section 1(g) above, and for any
other purpose
permitted under Current Zoning Classification, and for no other
uses. Tenant
shall have no right to change the Current Zoning Classification
applicable to
the Leased Premises or to obtain variances from such classification
or the
requirements thereof, provided that Tenant may obtain variances
from such
classification or the requirements thereof (a) with respect to use
of the Leased
Premises, if such variances are necessary to permit the use of the
Leased
Premises for Tenant's use; and/or (b) with respect to development
standards for
the Leased Premises, if such variances are necessary to make
alterations or
additions permitted to be made hereunder. Tenant covenants and
agrees that:
(a) Tenant shall not permit any waste, damage or nuisance in, on
or
about the Leased Premises, or use or permit the use of the Leased
Premises
for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that materially violates
the
terms and conditions of the Declaration;
(b) Tenant shall conduct its business and keep the Leased Premises
in
a safe, clean and sightly condition that complies with all

appropriate,
leakproof and fireproof;
(d) Tenant shall not: (i) use the Leased Premises for the treatment
or
disposal of any wastes, materials or substances that are hazardous,
toxic
or radioactive and are, or become, regulated by any of the
applicable Laws
(including, without limitation, asbestos-containing materials
and
electrical transformers or ballasts that contain PCBs) (the
"HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES"); or (ii) store or use any Hazardous Substance on the
Leased
Premises, except for such storage and usage of those types and
amounts of
15
<PAGE>
Hazardous Substances as may be necessary for the operations
permitted under
this Lease. All storage, usage and transportation of Hazardous
Substances
shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable Laws, and
Tenant shall
take all necessary and appropriate safety precautions in connection
with
such storage, usage and transportation.
(e) Tenant shall not install or locate on the Leased Premises
any
underground storage tanks (the "USTS").
Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably
acceptable to
Landlord), protect and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's Agents
from and
against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs
and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs)
arising from, or in connection with: (i) any storage or usage of
any Hazardous
Substances by Tenant (or its employees, agents, contractors,
invitees or
licensees) in, on or about the Leased Premises; or (ii) any
transportation of
any Hazardous Substances to or from the Leased Premises by Tenant
(or its
employees, agents, contractors, invitees or licensees), whether or
not such
storage, usage or transportation constitutes a failure of Tenant to
observe or
perform fully its obligations under this subsection or to comply
with or observe
fully the limitations and restrictions under this subsection.
12. EXTERIOR INSTALLATIONS. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 12,
Tenant shall have the right to install, operate, and maintain a
standby
emergency power generator, satellite dishes, antennae and other
communications
equipment, supplemental air conditioning equipment, together with
associated
cabling, bollards, hoses, systems and equipment, in locations on
the roof of the
Building and other exterior areas on the Property subject, in each
case, to
approval by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, and subject to
the following
conditions:
(a) No such installation pursuant to this Section 12 shall made
by
Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall
not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as it
complies with
Landlord's reasonable requirements concerning architectural design,
roof
integrity, and the requirement that the installation or removal
of
installations pursuant to this Section 12 will not adversely affect
the
weather tightness or the structure of the Building. Tenant shall
obtain all
necessary governmental permits required for any installation,
approved by
Landlord and shall comply with all applicable governmental law,
regulations, ordinances, and codes.
(b) Tenant shall, at its sole cost, immediately repair and restore
to
its prior condition any damage to the roof or other portions of the
Leased
Premises, the Building or the Property caused by any such
installation
pursuant to this Section. If Tenant fails to repair and restore
such damage
within a reasonable time, after written notice from Landlord to
Tenant,
Landlord shall, in addition to its other remedies, have the right
to repair
and restore such damage and receive reimbursement from Tenant of
all costs
incurred by Landlord together with interest at the Interest
Rate.
(c) Any equipment or fixtures installed pursuant to this Section
12,
shall at times remain the property of Tenant. Tenant shall,
unless
otherwise agreed by Landlord, remove such equipment or fixtures
upon
expiration or termination of this Lease and
16
<PAGE>
Tenant shall repair and restore any damages to the roof or other
portions
of the Building or the Property caused by such removal.
13. TENANT ALTERATIONS. Tenant at its cost and expense, may install
in the
Leased Premises any of Tenant's Property as Tenant determines to be
necessary or
appropriate to conduct its business. Tenant, at its cost and
expense, also may
make non-structural alterations or additions to the interior of the
Leased
Premises if (a) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice
describing the
proposed alteration or addition with particularity, and provides to
Landlord
copies of any plans and specifications for the alteration, and (b)
upon the
expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant
surrenders the portion of the Leased Premises altered or improved
in as good a
condition as on the date that Tenant accepts the Leased Premises,
except for
ordinary wear and tear. Tenant shall make no structural
alterations,
improvements or additions of or to any part of the Leased Premises,
or any
alterations, improvements or additions to the exterior of the
Building, without
the prior written consent of Landlord. All alterations and
additions to the
Leased Premises, except only Tenant's Property, shall become the
sole property
of Landlord upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier
termination of this
Lease. All exterior signs shall be subject to: (a) satisfaction of
the
requirements of all applicable governmental authorities; and (b)
compliance with
signage standards established under the Declaration; and
installation and
removal thereof shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.
14. UTILITIES. As part of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall install
(or cause
installation of) facilities to furnish electricity, water, sewer
and other
services to the Building, so that such utility services are not
shared or
metered commonly with any other building or any other tenant or
occupant in the
Building or Landlord, except that water and sewer services will not
be
separately metered, but paid by Tenant as part of Tenant's
Percentage of the
Common Area Expenses. Landlord represents and warrants that the
voltages,
amperages, volumes, capacities and amounts of electricity, water,
sanitary
sewer, storm sewer, and other services are adequate for use of the
Leased
Premises for Tenant's normal business operations. During the Lease
Term, Tenant
shall pay all usage and other charges for all utility services
furnished to the
Leased Premises (including, without limitation, electricity, water,
sewer and
telephone). If any equipment installed by Tenant requires
additional utility
facilities, then the costs of installing such additional facilities
shall be
paid by Tenant.
15. REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS.
(a) General Repairs. Subject to (i) Landlord's obligations in
Section
15(b), (ii) Landlord's repair and restoration obligations under
Section 19
and Section 20, (iii) Landlord's obligations to complete or correct
Punch
List items, latent defects and Warranty Items, and (iv) Landlord's
other
obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall, at its cost and
expense, keep
and maintain (and provide all repairs necessary to keep and
maintain) the
Leased Premises at all times during the Lease Term in good order,
condition
and repair, subject to reasonable wear and tear. In furtherance of
the
foregoing, Tenant shall implement: (a) a janitorial program of
cleaning
sufficient to keep the Leased Premises in a safe, clean and
sightly
condition at all times; and (b) a regularly scheduled program of
preventive
maintenance and repair of the HVAC within the Leased Premises
(the
"PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE"). Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to
the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be responsible for making
any
repairs occasioned by
17
<PAGE>
any negligence, intentional act or willful misconduct of Landlord
or
Landlord's Agents or by any defects in the Landlord's Work or other
defects
on the Leased Premises not caused by Tenant, all of which repairs
shall be
made promptly by Landlord at its sole cost and expense. Nothing
contained
in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to require that Tenant
make any
repair or replacement to the Leased Premises or any other portion
of the
Property that is in the nature of a capital repair or replacement,
unless
and except to the extent that any such repair or replacement is
necessitated by the breach, negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant.
(b) Landlord's Repairs and Common Area. At all times during the
Lease
Term, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep and
maintain in
good order, condition and repair: (a) all Structural Components
(including,
without limitation, the roof structure and membrane; (b) all
Building
Systems; and (c) the Common Area. Subject to Tenant's rights under
this
Lease, Landlord shall at all times have exclusive control of the
Common
Area and may at any reasonable time temporarily close any part
thereof,
exclude and restrain anyone from any part thereof, except the bona
fide
customers, employees and invitees of Tenant who use such areas
in
accordance with the reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord
may from
time to time promulgate, and may reasonably change the
configuration or
location of the Common Area provided Tenant shall always have
access to the
Leased Premises and parking spaces adjacent thereto. In exercising
any such
rights, Landlord shall not materially or unreasonably disrupt
Tenant's
business or interfere with Tenant's use of the Leased Premises or
Common
Area. Washing and repairs of exterior windows and painting of
the
Building's exterior walls shall be performed by Landlord and
included in
Common Area Expenses.
16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Requirements of Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not assign
this
Lease or any interest herein, sublet the whole or any part of the
Leased
Premises, or permit any other party, (including, without
limitation,
concessionaires or licensees) to operate in, on or from, or occupy
the
whole or any part of, the Leased Premises, without the prior
written
consent of Landlord. The foregoing prohibitions shall not apply
with
respect to any merger or consolidation of Tenant, any stock or
other equity
offering or any transfer of ownership or control of Tenant
(including,
without limitation, any transfer in the membership or manager
interests in
Tenant if Tenant is a limited liability company, any transfer of
stock of
Tenant if Tenant is a corporation, any transfer of partnership
interests in
Tenant if Tenant is a partnership) or any other direct or indirect
transfer
of ownership or control of Tenant. Without limiting the generality
of the
foregoing, any such transaction shall not require any consent or
approval
of, or notice to, Landlord. Except as expressly provided in Section
16(c):
(i) Tenant shall remain fully liable to perform all of its
obligations
under is Lease, notwithstanding any assignment of this Lease; and
(ii) no
consent by Landlord to any Tenant assignment shall release Tenant
from such
liability. The consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting
shall
not constitute a waiver of the requirement for such consent to
any
subsequent assignment or subletting.
(b) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
16
to the contrary, Landlord's consent shall not be required with
respect to
any subletting or any
18
<PAGE>
assignment of this Lease or any interest herein to any entity that
is the
Permitted Assignee. Upon the assignment of this Lease to a
Permitted
Assignee and the assumption of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease by a
Permitted Assignee, Tenant shall not be released from its liability
to
perform or observe any obligations of the tenant under this Lease,
except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
(c) Rights of Tenant's Client.
(i) Assignment and Assumption of Lease. If at any time during
the
Lease Term, Client delivers to Tenant and Landlord, or Tenant
delivers to Client and Landlord, a duly executed notice in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "ASSUMPTION NOTICE"),
then
effective upon said delivery (the "ASSUMPTION EFFECTIVE DATE"),
and without any further action by the parties, Tenant shall
have
assigned to Client, and Client shall have assumed from Tenant,
all of Tenant's rights, duties and obligations in, to and under
this Lease accruing from and after the Assumption Effective
Date.
Said assignment and assumption shall release the original
Tenant
named in this Lease from any liability accruing under this
Lease
after (but not before) the Assumption Effective Date. From and
after any Assumption Effective Date, (aa) Client shall be
entitled to immediate occupancy of the Leased Premises and the
Common Area, (bb) Landlord shall recognize Client as the new
Tenant under this Lease, (cc) Landlord and Tenant shall
reasonably cooperate in connection with the transition of the
tenancy to Client, and (dd) Client shall be responsible for all
payment of Rent and all other obligations of the tenant under
this Lease accruing from and after said date. In no event shall
Client be responsible for any obligations of the tenant under
this Lease accruing prior to the Assumption Effective Date;
provided, however, if prior to the Assumption Date, Landlord
shall have delivered to Client notice pursuant to Section
16(c)(ii) below of any monthly installments of Rent that were
not
timely or fully paid under this Lease by Tenant prior to the
Assumption Effective Date (collectively, "PRE-ASSUMPTION
DELINQUENT RENT") and said Pre-Assumption Delinquent Rent
remains
outstanding following the Assumption Effective Date, then as a
condition to Client's continued occupancy of the Leased
Premises
following the Assumption Effective Date, Landlord may require
that Client pay to Landlord all Pre-Assumption Delinquent Rent
within thirty (30) days after Landlord's written demand
therefor
delivered to Client within ten (10) business days following the
Assumption Effective Date. Nothing contained in this Lease or
in
any course of dealings shall be deemed to create any obligation
on the part of Client or Tenant to deliver an Assumption Notice
or otherwise exercise any right (or to assume any duty,
obligation or liability) under this Section 16(c).
(ii) Obligations Relative to Lease. Landlord hereby agrees (aa) not
to
modify, supplement, amend or (except for material Tenant
Defaults
not cured prior to the end of the hereinafter defined Extended
Cure Period) terminate this
19
<PAGE>
Lease or terminate Tenant's rights of possession, without in
each
case the express prior written consent of Client, and (bb) to
give Client, contemporaneously with any notice delivered to
Tenant under Section 21 hereof, written notice of any breach by
Tenant of its obligations under this Lease (each, a "CLIENT
CURE
NOTICE"), and a copy of any notice given by Landlord under
Section 21 hereof with respect to the exercise of remedies
under
this Lease. Under each Client Cure Notice, Landlord shall
afford
Client as much time to cure a Tenant breach as Tenant is
afforded
under Section 21 hereof, plus ten (10) additional business days
(each, an "EXTENDED CURE PERIOD"). For any default for which
there is no express grace, cure or notice period, then for
purposes of this Section 16(c)(ii), that period described in
Section 21(a)(ii) below shall apply. Landlord shall notify
Client
in writing if Tenant fails to cure any breach under this Lease
within the cure period set forth in Section 21 hereof, but said
notice shall not lengthen or otherwise modify an Extended Cure
Period. If both Tenant and Client have cured the same default
in
the payment of Rent, then Landlord shall promptly refund to
Client any such duplicate payment. Landlord shall not terminate
this Lease, terminate Tenant's right of occupancy or evict or
otherwise interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the
Leased
Premises and the Common Area unless Landlord is otherwise
authorized to do so under this Lease on account of a material
Tenant Default and the Extended Cure Period has expired prior
to
the cure of said corresponding Tenant Default. Nothing
contained
in this Lease shall be construed or deemed to create any
obligation on the part of Client to cure any Tenant breach
under
this Lease. At any time after the Assumption Effective Date,
Client or its successor or assign, may require Landlord to
enter
into a replacement lease for the Leased Premises for the
remainder of the Lease Term and on the other terms and
conditions
of this Lease, except that Client (or such successor or assign)
shall constitute the tenant thereunder and except for terms and
conditions that no longer are applicable or that previously
have
been performed (the "REPLACEMENT LEASE"). Upon execution and
delivery of the Replacement Lease, and the cure of all of all
Pre-Assumption Delinquent Rent, this Lease shall terminate, but
the original Tenant shall remain responsible to Landlord for
any
and all outstanding Rent and other uncured defaults existing as
of the Assumption Effective Date.
(iii) Assignment by Client. At any time upon or after the
Assumption
Effective Date, Client shall have the right to assign all of
its
rights, duties and obligations as the Tenant in, to and under
this Lease to a successor Tenant that is (aa) a legal successor
to Client, (bb) a Permitted Assignee, (cc) otherwise directly
or
indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, Client
or
any direct or indirect parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of
Client, or (dd) any unrelated entity that performs outsourcing
services for Client or any of the foregoing entities. Upon any
such assignment, Client shall be released from its liability to
perform or observe any obligations of the tenant under this
Lease
that first arise after the date
20
<PAGE>
of such assignment and notice thereof is delivered to Landlord,
provided that at the time of any such assignment and
assumption,
the assignee has a positive net worth of not less than Fifty
Million Dollars ($50,000,000) as demonstrated by financial
statements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Landlord.
(iv) Removal of Client's Property. Upon any termination of this
Lease
or of Tenant's rights of possession other than on account of
either expiration or the making of a Replacement Lease,
Landlord
shall notify Client thereof and Landlord shall give Client not
less than fifteen (15) days (such period to be specified in the
foregoing notice), within which to remove all of its personal
property and (if applicable) trade fixtures from the Leased
Premises.
(v) Notices. Any notice, statement, invoice, demand, request,
or
consent required or permitted to be given or delivered by any
party under this Section 16(c) shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given or delivered: (aa) on the date
of
delivery, if delivery is made by messenger or otherwise in
person; or (bb) on the date of deposit, if delivery is made by
a
national overnight courier service; in any case if addressed to
Tenant or Landlord as set forth in Section 1(j) hereof, and if

12920 SE 38th Street
Bellevue, Washington 98006
Attn: VP, Business Operations
With a mandatory copy to:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.

Bellevue, Washington 98006
Attn: General Counsel - Business Operations
Any party may change its address for notice under this Section
from time to time by delivering notice to the other parties as
provided above.
(vi) Third Party Beneficiary. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
that
(aa) Client would not enter into one or more service contracts
with Tenant and (bb) Tenant would not enter into this Lease,
unless Client was granted its option and other rights set forth
in this Section 16(c). Accordingly, although this Section 16(c)
creates no duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of
Client, Client is an express, irrevocable third party
beneficiary
for purposes of this Section 16(c) and any other provisions of
this Lease whereby Client is named or otherwise referenced.
21
<PAGE>
(d) Recapture and Sublease Rentals. Landlord shall have no
recapture
rights and Landlord shall have no rights to any sublease
rentals.
17. ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its
agents
to enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable times and upon
reasonable
notice (except in the event of an emergency, with respect to which
such time and
notice requirements shall not apply) to: (a) inspect and, examine
the Leased
Premises; (b) show the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers
and mortgagees,
and, during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term or during the
continuation
of a Tenant Default hereunder, to prospective tenants; (c) make
such repairs and
replacements as Landlord may deem necessary; or (d) exercise its
rights
hereunder in connection with performing a covenant of Tenant that
is a Tenant
Default, and so long as any such entry does not materially or
unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's use or enjoyment of the Leased Premises,
the Common Area
or any portion thereof, then no such entry shall: (i) constitute
any eviction of
Tenant in whole or in part; (ii) cause Rent to abate in any manner;
or (iii)
give rise to responsibility for any loss or damage to Tenant's
business or
property, other than loss or damage resulting from any act or
omission of
Landlord or any Landlord's Agents. Landlord shall use reasonable
care, and shall
cause Landlord's Agents to use reasonable care, not to cause any
interruption or
interference with the conduct of Tenant's business as a result of
the exercise
of the Landlord's right of entry. If Landlord and/or Landlord's
Agents enter
upon a portion of the Leased Premises designated by Tenant as a
"secure area"
for the purpose of inspecting and/or examining such portion of the
Leased
Premises, then, upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall enter into,
and/or cause
Landlord's Agents to enter into, a confidentiality agreement with
respect to
confidential or proprietary matters that may be observed by
Landlord and/or
Landlord's Agents in connection with such inspection. Landlord's
right of entry
shall not be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any
obligation or
liability whatsoever for the maintenance or repair of the Leased
Premises,
except as expressly provided in this Lease.
18. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Real Property Insurance. Landlord, shall maintain in full
force
and effect throughout the Lease Term fire and extended coverage
insurance,
which insurance shall name Landlord, Tenant, Landlord's mortgage
lender,
and any Leasehold Lender of Tenant as insureds, as their
respective
interests may appear, on the Building and Improvements; and (ii)
and any
alterations or additions of or to the Leased Premises that
constitutes
Landlord's Work; in either case for 100% of its insurable value on
a
replacement cost basis.
(b) Landlord's Public Liability Insurance. Landlord shall maintain
in
full force and effect throughout the Lease Term a policy of general
public
liability insurance naming each of Tenant and Tenant's Client as
an
additional insured and covering any and all claims for injuries to,
or
death of, persons and damage to, or loss of, property occurring in,
on or
about the Common Area, in an amount not less than coverages Tenant
is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 18 (c) below. If Tenant
is
required to carry higher limits of liability coverage under Section
18 (c),
then Landlord shall increase the foregoing coverage to match the
liability
coverages that Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease.
22
<PAGE>
(c) Tenant's Public Liability Insurance. Tenant at its cost and
expense, shall maintain in full force and effect throughout the
Lease Term
a policy of commercial general public liability insurance naming
Landlord
and Landlord's Mortgagee as an additional insured and covering any
and all
claims for injuries to, or death of, persons and damage to, or loss
of,
property occurring in, on or about the Leased Premises, in an
amount not
less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, and a minimum umbrella
limits of
$1,000,000.00, for a total minimum combined general liability and
umbrella
limits of $2,000,000.00 for property damage, personal injuries, or
deaths
of persons occurring in or about the Leased Premises. If it
becomes
customary for other similar businesses in the Louisville
metropolitan area
to carry higher limits of liability coverage under leases of
similar
facilities, then Tenant upon request by Landlord, shall increase
the
foregoing coverage to such customary limits; provided, however,
that
Landlord shall not require Tenant to increase the foregoing
coverage more
than once in any five year period.
(d) Personal Property Insurance. All of Tenant's Property
(including,
without limitation, property that Tenant stores for third parties),
shall
be kept in or upon the Leased Premises at Tenant's sole risk and
expense,
and Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall maintain in full force
and
effect throughout the Lease Term fire and extended coverage
insurance on
such trade fixtures, equipment, inventory and other personal
property for
their full insurable value on a replacement cost basis, provided
that, so
long as Tenant maintains a net worth adequate to satisfy and
discharge
fully all of its financial obligations, including, without
limitation, its
financial obligations under this Lease, and to replace all of its
trade
fixtures, equipment, inventory, and other personal property, Tenant
may
"self insure" its trade fixtures, equipment, inventory, and other
personal
property. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from
any and
all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
(including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs)
arising
from, or in connection with, damage to, or loss of, Tenant's
Property,
unless such damage is caused by: (i) the act or omission of
Landlord or
Landlord's Agents; or (ii) a Landlord Default (as defined in
Section 22).
(e) Worker's Compensation. Tenant shall comply with the provisions
of
the applicable worker's compensation laws and insure its
liability
thereunder.
(f) Copies of Policies. For each type of insurance required to
be
maintained under this Lease, the party required to maintain such
insurance
shall furnish to the other party an endorsed copy of such insurance
policy
showing that such type of insurance is in full force and effect and
may not
be modified or canceled without not less than ten (10) days' prior
written
notice to such other party. All insurance policies required to
be
maintained under this Lease shall be issued by companies
reasonably
satisfactory to the party not responsible for maintaining such
insurance.
(g) Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant waive and release
any
and all rights of recovery that either may have against the other
for any
loss or damage, regardless of whether caused by any alleged
negligence of
the other party or the other party's employees, contractors,
agents,
invitees or licensees, to the extent that such loss or damage is or
would
be covered by any property insurance required to be maintained
under this
Lease. Each policy of property insurance required under this Lease
shall
23
<PAGE>
contain an endorsement to such effect, waiving the insurer's right
of
subrogation against the other party.
(h) Tenant Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this
Section 18, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
from and
against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs
and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and
court costs) arising from, or in connection with the
negligence,
intentional act or willful misconduct of Tenant or any
Tenant-Related Party
or any breach of this Lease by Tenant.
(i) Landlord Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this
Section 18, Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant
from and
against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs
and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and
court costs) arising from, or in connection with the
negligence,
intentional act or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's
Agents or
any breach of this Lease by Landlord.
19. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY.
(a) Casualty Repair. In the event of damage to, or total or
partial
destruction of, the Building or any fixtures, equipment or systems
that
constitute a part of the Building, by fire or other casualty
(the
"CASUALTY"), the insurance proceeds, if any, that as a result of
such
Casualty, are payable under any fire and extended coverage
insurance
maintained by Landlord (the "INSURANCE PROCEEDS") shall be payable
to, and
be the sole property of, Landlord, and, subject to the terms and
conditions
of this Section, Landlord shall cause the prompt and diligent
repair and
replacement of the Building as soon as reasonably possible to
substantially
the same condition as existed prior to such Casualty; provided that
(i)
Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or replace alterations
or
additions of or to the Leased Premises by Tenant; (ii) if
Substantial
Damage (as hereinafter defined) occurs in the last year of the
Initial Term
or (if applicable) the Extension Term, then Landlord or Tenant may
elect to
terminate this Lease upon notice thereof delivered to the other
party
within thirty (30) days after said Casualty; (iii) Landlord shall
be
obligated to make any surplus Insurance Proceeds available, in
accordance
with the terms and conditions of this subsection set forth below,
for the
repair and/or replacement of the alterations and/or additions of or
to the
Leased Premises by Tenant; and (iv) when Landlord commences the
insurance
adjustment process (the "ADJUSTMENT PROCESS"), Landlord shall: (A)
deliver
notice to Tenant of its commencement of the Adjustment Process; and
(B)
provide to Tenant an opportunity to participate in the Adjustment
Process.
Landlord shall make the Insurance Proceeds available, or cause
the
Insurance Proceeds to be made available, to pay the costs and
expenses to
repair or replace: (x) the Building in accordance with the terms
and
conditions of this Section; and (y) the alterations and additions
of or to
the Leased Premises; provided that: (aa) Tenant has not caused a
default of
the documents evidencing the Mortgage Lien or evidencing the method
of
financing or refinancing secured by the Mortgage Lien through a
breach of
any of its obligations under this Lease; and (bb) to the extent
applicable
to Tenant, Tenant meets the reasonable and customary conditions
for
disbursement of the Insurance Proceeds established by the
documents
24
<PAGE>
evidencing the Mortgage Lien or evidencing the method of financing
or
refinancing secured by the Mortgage Lien. Rent shall abate
proportionately
(based upon the proportion that the unusable Rentable Area of the
Leased
Premises due to damage or destruction bears to the total Rentable
Area of
the Leased Premises) during the time that the Leased Premises or
any part
thereof is unusable by reason of any Casualty. If and as may be
requested
by Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
relocate
Tenant, at Tenant's expense, temporarily during the period of any
repair or
replacement of the Leased Premises. Not later than thirty (30) days
after
the occurrence of any Casualty, Landlord shall provide Tenant
written
notice indicating the anticipated period for restoring the
Building
(including the Leased Premises) to substantially the same condition
as
existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty,
such
restoration period to be determined by the insurance adjusters or
(if no
such determination has been made by the insurance adjusters)
Landlord's
general contractor for the restoration work (the "REPAIR PERIOD
NOTICE").
(b) Substantial Damage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set
forth herein, if substantial damage or destruction occurs, such
that (i)
the restoration period set forth in the Repair Period Notice equals
or
exceeds 180 days; or (ii) the Leased Premises are so damaged or
destroyed
as to be rendered untenantable (as determined in Tenant's
reasonable
business judgment) for Tenant's normal business use (in either
case,
"SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE"), then either party, at its option, may
terminate this
Lease upon written notice delivered to the other not later than
thirty (30)
days after Landlord's delivery of the Repair Period Notice to
Tenant, and
upon any such termination, all obligations hereunder, except those
due or
mature, shall cease and terminate. In addition, if the restoration
work
contemplated under this Section 19 is not substantially complete
within the
later of thirty (30) days after the restoration period set forth in
the
Repair Period Notice or 180 days after the occurrence of the
Casualty
(which periods may be extended for an aggregate maximum of thirty
(30)
additional days on account of Unavoidable Delays), then Tenant
may
terminate this Lease upon written notice delivered to Landlord
within seven
(7) days. Landlord agrees not to exercise any right available to it
to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 19(b) if Landlord
elects to
proceed to restore the Building to substantially the same condition
as
existed immediately prior to the Casualty and Landlord is legally
entitled
under any other lease of space in the Building to terminate that
lease on
account of the Casualty, but elects not to do so.
20. EMINENT DOMAIN.
(a) Condemnation. In the event that: (i) all or a substantial part
of
the Leased Premises is taken or condemned for public or
quasi-public use
under any statute or by the right of eminent domain; or (ii) in
lieu
thereof, all or a substantial part of the Leased Premises is
conveyed to a
public or quasi-public body under threat of condemnation
("CONDEMNATION"),
and the Condemnation renders the Leased Premises unsuitable (as
determined
in Tenant's reasonable judgment) for Tenant's normal business
use
("COMPLETE CONDEMNATION"), then, at the option of either Landlord
or Tenant
exercised within ten (10) days after the Complete Condemnation
occurs: (i)
this Lease shall terminate as of the date possession of all or such
part of
the Leased Premises is conveyed to the condemning authority; and
(ii) all
obligations hereunder, except those due or
25
<PAGE>
mature, shall cease and terminate. All compensation awarded or paid
for any
Condemnation shall belong to and be the sole property of
Landlord
("CONDEMNATION AWARD"); provided, however, that (i) Landlord shall
not be
entitled to any award made solely to Tenant for Tenant Property or
for loss
of business or cost and expense of relocation and removing trade
fixtures;
and (ii) Landlord shall make the Condemnation Award available, or
cause the
Condemnation Award to be made available, to pay the costs and
expenses to
repair or replace: (A) the Building; and (B) the Leased Premises
with
Landlord's Work included.
(b) Allocation of Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set
forth herein, in the event that: (i) there is a Complete
Condemnation; and
(ii) as a result of the Complete Condemnation, this Lease is
terminated at
the option of either Landlord or Tenant, then the Condemnation
Award shall
be the sole property of Landlord; provided, however, nothing
contained
herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or require
Tenant
to assign to Landlord any award made or allocated to Tenant for the
taking
of Tenant's Property, for the interruption of Tenant's business, or
its
moving costs. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other
all
instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions of
this
Section 20.
21. DEFAULT BY TENANT.
(a) Events of Tenant Default. Each of the following shall be deemed
to
be a "TENANT DEFAULT:"
(i) failure by Tenant to pay any amount of Rent when due, and
the
continuance of such failure for five (5) business days after
delivery of written notice of such failure to Tenant by
Landlord
(it being understood and agreed that if Tenant shall be
delinquent in the payment of any installment of Monthly Rent
beyond said five business day period more than once during any
lease year, then Landlord may require that at all times
thereafter during the Lease Term, Tenant shall post with
Landlord
a one-time security deposit in an amount equal to one
installment
of Monthly Rent);
(ii) failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other term or
condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant,
and the continuance of such failure for thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord; provided that it shall not be a
"TENANT DEFAULT" if such failure cannot be cured by Tenant
within
thirty (30) days, despite reasonably diligent effort, so long
as
Tenant diligently commences to cure such failure within thirty
(30) days, and thereafter continues to diligently pursue such
cure to completion;
(iii) the sale of Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder to any
entity
other than a Permitted Assignee pursuant to execution;
(iv) the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt or insolvent;
26
<PAGE>
(v) the making by Tenant of a general assignment for the benefit
of
creditors;
(vi) the appointment of a receiver for Tenant's property, if
such
appointment is not vacated or satisfied within sixty (60) days
from the date of such appointment;
(vii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver for Tenant's
property
in a reorganization, arrangement, bankruptcy or other
insolvency
proceeding, if such appointment is not vacated or set aside
within sixty (60) days from the date of such appointment; or
(viii) the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy
or
for reorganization or arrangement, or the filing of an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or
arrangement against Tenant if such involuntary petition is not
vacated within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof.
(b) Landlord's Remedies. In the event of a Tenant Default that
is
continuing, Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies
available
at law or in equity, may exercise the following rights and remedies
upon
written notice thereof delivered to Tenant prior to Tenant's cure
of the
Tenant Default:
(i) elect to terminate this Lease;
(ii) if Tenant has failed to perform any of its obligations under
this
Lease (other than the obligation to pay Base Rent), perform
such
obligations that Tenant has failed to perform (entering upon
the
Leased Premises for such purpose, if necessary), without such
performance being construed as a waiver of the Tenant Default
or
of any other right or remedy of Landlord with respect to such
Tenant Default, or as a waiver of any term or condition of this
Lease; or
(iii) immediately re-enter upon the Leased Premises, remove all
persons and property therefrom, and store such property in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the sole cost and expense and
for the account of Tenant, all: (A) in compliance with the
applicable Laws; and (B) without being deemed guilty of
trespass
or becoming liable for any loss or damage that may be
occasioned
thereby.
(c) Re-Letting. If Landlord re-enters upon the Leased Premises
as
provided in Section 21(b)(iii), or takes possession of the Leased
Premises
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by
the
applicable Laws, then Landlord either may terminate this Lease, or,
from
time to time with or without terminating this Lease, make
alterations and
repairs for the purpose of re-letting the Leased Premises and
re-let the
Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which
may
extend beyond the term of this Lease) at such rental and upon such
other
terms and conditions as Landlord deems reasonably advisable. Upon
each
re-letting, all rentals received from such re-letting shall be
applied in
the following order (i) first, to payment of reasonable
27
<PAGE>
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such
re-entry or
taking of possession and making such reasonable alterations and
repairs;
(ii) second, to the payment of Rent and any other outstanding
indebtedness
of Tenant to Landlord hereunder or in connection herewith; and
(iii) the
remainder, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment
of
future Rent as it becomes due and payable hereunder. If the
rentals
received from such re-letting during any month are less than the
full
amount of Rent payable hereunder during that month, then Tenant
shall pay
any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and
paid monthly. No re-entry or taking of possession by Landlord of
the Leased
Premises shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease,
or as
an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises, unless a
written
notice of termination or acceptance of surrender is delivered by
Landlord
to Tenant. Notwithstanding any re-letting without termination,
Landlord at
any time thereafter may elect to terminate this Lease for Tenant's
previous
Tenant Default. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
its
damages in the event of a Tenant Default; provided, however, that
nothing
contained in this Section shall be construed so as requiring
Landlord to
enter into any other lease that Landlord believes, in good faith,
is not
upon fair market terms or is not permitted by Landlord's
Mortgagee.
(d) Damages Upon Termination. If Landlord at any time terminates
this
Lease as a result of any Tenant Default, then Landlord may recover
from
Tenant, from time to time, all damages Landlord may incur by reason
of such
Tenant Default (including, without limitation: (i) reasonable costs
and
expenses in connection with a re-entry or taking of possession;
(ii)
reasonable attorneys' fees; and (iii) the present value at the time
of such
termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent for the
remainder
of the Lease Term (excluding any unexercised Extension Term) over
the then
reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of
the
Lease Term; provided that the reasonable rental value of the
Leased
Premises shall be determined on the basis that (i) the Leased
Premises is
relet in its "as is" condition on the date of termination; and (ii)
no
alterations or repairs have been, or will be, made for the purpose
of
reletting). All such amounts shall be immediately due and payable
from
Tenant to Landlord.
(e) Limitation on Recovery. Landlord shall not be entitled to
recover
from Tenant any amount for any particular item of loss, cost, or
expense
more than once, notwithstanding that Sections 21(c) and (d), each
may
provide for recovery of such item of loss, cost, or expense.
Landlord shall
have no right to accelerate rent, except as may be expressly
permitted
under the terms and conditions of Section 21(d) above.
22. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. The following shall be deemed to
constitute a
"LANDLORD DEFAULT" (a) failure by Landlord to observe or perform
any term or
condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord;
and (b)
continuation of such failure for thirty (30) days after delivery of
written
notice from Tenant; provided that it shall not be a "Landlord
Default" if such
failure cannot be cured by Landlord within thirty (30) days,
despite reasonably
diligent effort, so long as Landlord diligently commences to cure
such failure
within thirty (30) days, and diligently continues to pursue such
cure to
completion. In the event of a Landlord Default, Tenant shall have
all rights or
remedies available at law or in equity, except the right of setoff.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon a Landlord Default
or any
Landlord
28
<PAGE>
breach involving an emergency situation, Tenant shall have the
right to perform
such obligations on behalf of Landlord, without such performance
being construed
as a waiver of the Landlord Default or of any other right or remedy
of Tenant
with respect to such Landlord Default, or as a waiver of any term
or condition
of this Lease. Landlord shall pay to Tenant on demand all
reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Tenant to perform any such obligations in
accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Section. If any amount due to
Tenant by
Landlord hereunder shall become overdue for a period in excess of
five (5)
business days, then Landlord shall pay the Tenant interest on such
unpaid amount
from the date due to the date of payment at the Interest Rate.
23. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term or the
earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to
Landlord the
Leased Premises and, except as expressly set forth below in this
Section, all
property affixed to the Leased Premises, broom clean, and in good
order,
condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear, the
effects of damage
to, or the total or partial destruction of, the Building or Leased
Premises by
fire or other casualty that Landlord is obligated to repair or
replace; provided
that Tenant shall remove any or all of its property that Landlord
directs Tenant
to remove, and, upon Tenant's failure to do so, Landlord may cause
all or any
item of such property to be removed at Tenant's cost and
expense.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant
shall not be
required to surrender any of the Improvements made as a part of
Landlord's Work
or any other alteration, improvement or addition approved by
Landlord under this
Lease, unless Landlord expressly conditioned such approval upon
Tenant's removal
of such item(s) upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease.
Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall have the right to grant to
any third
party a security interest in and to its personalty, inventory and
trade
fixtures. Tenant's obligation to observe and perform these
covenants shall
survive the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of
this Lease.
24. SUBORDINATION AND ESTOPPEL.
(a) Tenant agrees that at all times this Lease and the Tenant's
leasehold estate created hereby shall be subordinate to the lien of
any
bona fide first mortgage or deed of trust, together with any
renewals,
extensions or replacements thereof, now or hereafter placed,
charged or
enforced against Landlord's fee simple absolute interest in the
Property
and the Leased Premises; provided, however, that such subordination
shall
not be self-effectuating, but shall be effective at such time as
the
parties shall have fully executed a customary form of
subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in form and substance
reasonably
approved by Tenant (the "SNDA"), which shall include an agreement
by such
lender not to disturb any rights of Tenant under this Lease so long
as no
Tenant Default is outstanding. Within ten (10) business days after
written
request therefor from Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and
deliver (but
without cost to the Tenant) an SNDA, and concurrently therewith,
Landlord
shall execute and deliver, and Landlord shall cause the lender to
execute
and deliver, the SNDA. Concurrently with its execution and delivery
of this
Lease, Landlord shall cause to be delivered to Tenant an executed
SNDA from
Landlord's Mortgagee in the form set forth in Exhibit G attached
hereto and
made a part hereof by this reference.
29
<PAGE>
(b) Each party shall, within ten (10) business days after
written
request therefor from the other party, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to
the requesting party a statement in writing, in form reasonably
prepared
(i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect
(or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and
the date
to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, (ii)
acknowledging
that there are not, to the maker's knowledge, any uncured defaults
on the
part of the other party hereunder, or specifying such defaults if
they are
claimed, and (iii) containing any other certifications,
acknowledgments and
representations as may be reasonably requested by the requesting
party or
the party for whose benefit such estoppel certificate is
requested.
25. MISCELLANEOUS WARRANTIES; COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Landlord
represents and warrants as of the date of this Lease and at all
times thereafter
that: (a) Landlord has all necessary right, title, interest, power
and authority
to enter into this Lease and grant Tenant the tenancy hereunder,
(b) as of the
date hereof, Landlord owns the Property in fee simple absolute,
subject only to
the matters identified on Exhibit H, which matters shall constitute
permitted
encumbrances (the "PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES"); (c) the Permitted
Encumbrances
permit the use of the Leased Premises and the Common Area for all
of the uses
listed on Exhibit I and there are no sums delinquent under the
Permitted
Encumbrances or other violations thereof; (d) the Current Zoning
Classification
applies to the Property, and, under that Current Zoning
Classification, all of
