In the event Landlord has not given Tenant a written statement setting forth the amount of the increase in Base Rent for a given year by the applicable anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent in the same amount applicable during the prior year until such time as Landlord has provided Tenant with such written statement.  Within 10 days after Landlord provides such written statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the aggregate amount of additional Base Rent owed from the anniversary date based upon the increase in Base Rent applicable for such year.

4.3   Place of Payments .  Base Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord at the place for payments specified in the Summary of Basic Lease Terms, or such other place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate in writing.

4.4   Lease a Net Lease and Rent Absolute .  It is the intent of the parties that the Base Rent provided in this Lease shall be a net payment to Landlord; that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Lease shall continue for the full Lease Term notwithstanding any occurrence preventing or restricting use and occupancy of the Premises, including any damage or destruction affecting the Premises, and any action by governmental authority relating to or affecting the Premises; that the Base Rent shall be absolutely payable without offset, reduction or abatement for any cause except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease; that Landlord shall not bear any costs or expenses relating to the Premises or provide any services or do any act in connection with the Premises except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease; and that Tenant shall pay, in addition to Base Rent, Additional Rent to cover costs and expenses relating to the Premises, the Common Facilities and the Property, all as hereinafter provided.

4.5   Additional Rent .  As of the Commencement Date, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses relating to the Premises including utilities, maintenance and repair thereof; Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of all operating costs and operating expenses relating to the Common facilities, including but not limited to the repair and maintenance thereto described in Section 7.2 hereof; Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of all Taxes and Assessments and costs and expenses of Casualty Insurance; all costs and expenses of Liability Insurance and Other Insurance; and all other costs and expenses that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease.

4.8   Security Deposit .  Upon execution of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount specified as a security deposit in the Summary of Basic Lease Terms (“Security Deposit”).  Landlord shall (i) retain and apply the Security Deposit to the extent necessary, to pay and cover any loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees, sustained by Landlord by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with any provision, covenant or agreement of Tenant contained in this Lease.  To the extent not necessary to cover such loss, cost, damage or expense, the Security Deposit, without any interest thereon, shall be returned to Tenant within 60 days after expiration of the Lease Term or as may be otherwise provided by law; provided, however , that Landlord may also deduct any amount from the Security Deposit Landlord estimates may be required to cover any shortfall in Additional Rent deposits made by Tenant in the final year of the Lease until such time as Landlord has completed its annual Additional Rent reconciliation for such year.  The Security Deposit shall not be considered as an advance payment of rent or as a measure of the loss, cost, damage or expense that is or may be sustained by Landlord.  In the event all or any portion of the Security Deposit is applied by Landlord to pay any such loss, cost, damage or expense, Tenant shall, from time to time, promptly upon demand, deposit with Landlord such amounts as may be necessary to replenish the Security Deposit to its original amount.

4.9   General Provisions as to Security Deposit .  Landlord shall not be required to hold the Security Deposit in an escrow or trust deposit account, and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s own funds.  Landlord shall not be obligated to pay interest to Tenant on account of the Security Deposit.  In the event of a transfer by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Landlord or the property manager of Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to the transferee of Landlord’s interest and Landlord and such property manager shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability to Tenant with respect to such Security Deposit.  In the event of a transfer by Tenant of Tenant’s interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to return the Security Deposit to Tenant’s successor in interest and Landlord shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

fixtures, shall become the property of the Landlord at the expiration of the Lease Term or, if Landlord so requests, Tenant shall, at or prior to expiration of the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, remove such Changes and restore the Premises to the condition that existed prior to making such Changes.  However, if Landlord agrees to any Changes in writing and does not  require removal and restoration of such Changes as a condition to its approval in such writing, Tenant will not be required to remove (or pay for the removal of) such Changes.  In addition, Tenant need not obtain the prior approval of Landlord for Changes that: (i) cost less than $2,500.00, (ii) are non-structural, (iii) do not affect major Building systems, and (iv) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises.

8.14 No Other Encumbrances .  Tenant covenants and agrees not to obtain any financing secured by Tenant’s interest in the Premises and not to encumber the Premises or Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, and to keep the Premises free from all liens and encumbrances except liens and encumbrances existing upon the Commencement Date of the Lease Term or liens and encumbrances created by Landlord.

8.15 Subordination to Landlord Mortgages .  Tenant covenants and agrees that this Lease and Tenant’s interest in the Premises shall be junior and subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering the Property.  In the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, Tenant shall attorn to the party acquiring title to the Property as the result of such foreclosure.  No act or further agreement by Tenant shall be necessary to establish the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgage or deed of trust, which is self-executing, but Tenant covenants and agrees, upon request to Landlord, to execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm and establish this Lease as subordinate to any such mortgage or deed of trust in accordance with the foregoing provisions.  Alternatively, Tenant covenants and agrees that, at the option of any mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust, Tenant shall execute documents as may be necessary to establish this Lease and Tenant’s interest in the Premises as superior to any such mortgage or deed of trust.  If Tenant fails to execute any documents required to be executed by Tenant under the provisions hereof, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney in fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead to execute any such document.

8.16 Assignment or Subletting .  Tenant covenants and agrees not to make or permit a Transfer by Tenant, as hereinafter defined, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be

11




unreasonably withheld or delayed.  A Transfer by Tenant shall include an assignment of this Lease, a sublease of all or any part of the Premises, any transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock or interests of Tenant, or any assignment, sublease, license, franchise, transfer, mortgage, pledge or encumbrance of all or any part of Tenant’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises, by operation of law or otherwise, or the use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant.  Any such Transfer by Tenant without Landlord’s written consent shall be void and shall constitute a default under this Lease.  In the event Landlord consents to any Transfer by Tenant, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease, to the same extent as though no Transfer by Tenant had been made, unless specifically provided to the contrary in Landlord’s prior written consent.  The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of the provisions of this Section or of any other provision of this Lease and any consent by Landlord to Transfer by Tenant shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent Transfer by Tenant.  In giving or withholding its consent to a proposed Transfer by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to consider any reasonable factor, including but not limited to the following: (a) financial strength and credit history of the proposed subtenant/assignee; (b) business reputation of the proposed subtenant/assignee; (c) proposed use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant/assignee; (d) managerial and operational skills of the proposed subtenant/assignee; and (e) compatibility of the proposed subtenant/assignee with other tenants of the Building.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, have the right, in lieu of consenting to a Transfer by Tenant, to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises that is subject to the proposed Transfer by Tenant and to enter into a new lease with the proposed transferee and receive directly from the proposed transferee the consideration agreed to be given by such transferee to Tenant for the Transfer by Tenant.  Alternatively, at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall pay over to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all sums received by Tenant in excess of the rent payable by Tenant hereunder which is attributable on an equally allocable square foot basis, to the subletting of all or any portion of the Premises so subleased.

8.17 Annual Financial Statements .  Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is a publicly traded company and that it may obtain Tenant’s financial statements on the United States Securities and Exchange
