paragraph 3.2.2, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability
therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease
or the obligations of Lessee hereunder or extend the term hereof;
but, in such case, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent or
perform any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this
Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease, until
possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee, as hereinafter
defined; provided, however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered
possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days following

(10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder;
provided, as to Lessor’s obligations, Lessor shall return any
money previously deposited by Lessee; and provided further, that if

ten (10) day period, Lessee’s right to cancel this Lease
hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

with Lessor upon execution hereof the security deposit set forth in
paragraph 1.8 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for
Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations
hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due
hereunder, or otherwise defaults
|
with respect to any provision of this Lease,
Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit
for the payment of any rent or other charge in default for the
payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by
reason of Lessee’s default, or to compensate Lessor for any
loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses
or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within
ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with
Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full
amount then required of Lessee. Lessor shall not be required to
keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts. If
Lessee performs all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, said
deposit, on so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by
Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor’s option, to
the last assignee, if any, of Lessee’s interest hereunder) at
the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the
Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor
and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.
6.1 Use: The Premises shall be used and
occupied only for the purpose set forth in paragraph 1.4 of the
Basic Lease Provisions or any other use which is reasonably
comparable to that use and for no other purpose.
6.2 Compliance with Law:
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without
regard to alterations or improvements made by Lessee or the use for
which Lessee will occupy the Premises, does not violate any
covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable building
code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term
Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty
has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor,
after written notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor’s
sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at
Lessee’s expense, promptly comply with all applicable
statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, covenants and
restrictions of record, and requirements of any fire insurance
underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may
hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in
policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the
term hereof, relating in any manner to the Premises and the
occupation and use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall conduct
its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit the use
of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to
create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants
of the Office Building Project.
6.3 Condition of Premises:
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in a clean
condition on the Lease Commencement Date (unless Lessee is already
in possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing,
lighting, air conditioning, and heating system in the Premises
shall be in good operating condition. In the event that it is
determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be
the obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from
Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature of the violation,
to promptly, at Lessor’s sole cost, rectify such
violation.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises and the Office Building Project in their
condition existing as of the Lease Commencement Date or the date
that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is earlier,
subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws,
ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the
Premises, and any easements, covenants or restrictions of record,
and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed
thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges
that it has satisfied itself by its own independent investigation
that the Premises are suitable for its intended use, and that
neither Lessor nor Lessor’s agent or agents has made any
representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability
of the Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the
conduct of Lessee’s business.

Maintenance, Repairs, Alterations and Common
Area Services.
|
7.1 Lessor’s Obligations: Lessor
shall keep the Office Building Project, including the Premises,
interior and exterior walls, roof, and common areas, and the
equipment whether used exclusively for the Premises or in common
with other premises in good condition and repair; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be obligated to paint, repair or replace
wall coverings, or to repair or replace any improvements that are
not ordinarily a part of the Building or are above then Building
standards. Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there shall be no
abatement of rent or liability of Lessee on account of any injury
or interference with Lessee’s business with respect to any
improvements, maintenance, alterations or repairs made or not made
by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part thereof.
Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or
hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right
to make repairs at Lessor’s expense or to terminate this
Lease because of Lessor’s failure to keep the Premises in
good order, condition and repair.
7.2 Lessee’s Obligations:
(a) Notwithstanding Lessor’s obligation to keep the
Premises in good condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible
for payment of the cost thereof to Lessor as additional rent for
that portion of the cost of any maintenance and repair of the
Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that serves only
Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to
causes beyond normal wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for
the cost of painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to
repair or replace any Premises improvements that are not ordinarily
a part of the Building or that are above then Building standards.
Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable notice, elect to have
Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs the cost
of which is otherwise Lessee’s responsibility hereunder.
(b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the
same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean
and free of debris. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises
shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have
been prevented by good maintenance practices by Lessee. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the
installation or removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures,
alterations, furnishings and equipment. Except as otherwise stated
in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, window coverings, wall coverings, carpets, wall
paneling, ceilings and plumbing on the Premises and in good
operating condition.
7.3 Alterations and Additions:
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor’s prior written
consent make any alterations, improvements, additions, Utility
Installations or repairs in, on or about the Premises, or the
Office Building Project. As used in this paragraph 7.3 the term
"Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window and wall
coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, air conditioning and plumbing. At the expiration of the
term, Lessor may require the removal of any or all of said
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations, and
the restoration of the Premises and the Office Building Project to
their prior condition, at Lessee’s expense. Should Lessor
permit Lessee to make its own alterations, improvements, additions
or Utility Installations, Lessee shall use only such contractor as
has been expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor may require
Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense,
a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor
against any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s
liens and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
without the prior approval of Lessor, or use a contractor not
expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor may, at any time during the
term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any part or all of
the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in or about the Premises or the Office Building
Project that Lessee shall desire to make shall be presented to
Lessor in written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor
shall give its consent to Lessee’s making such alteration,
improvement, addition or Utility Installation, the consent shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the
applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to
Lessor prior to the commencement of the work, and compliance by
Lessee with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and
expeditious manner.
(c) 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 in the Premises, which claims are or may be
secured by any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien against
the Premises, the Building or the Office Building Project, or any
interest therein.
(d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten
(10) days’ notice prior to the commencement of any work
in the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor shall have the right to post
notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Building
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 itself and Lessor 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, the Building or the Office Building Project, upon
the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to
such contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against
liability for the same and holding the Premises, the Building and
the Office Building Project free from the effect of such lien or
claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to Lessor’s best interest
so to do.
(e) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute
trade fixtures of Lessee), which may be made to the Premises by
Lessee, including but not limited to, floor coverings, panelings,
doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings, sound attenuation, and lighting
and telephone or communication systems, conduit, wiring and
outlets, shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner
and of
good and sufficient quality and materials and
shall be the property of Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered
with the Premises at the expiration of the Lease term, unless
Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a).
Provided Lessee is not in default, notwithstanding the provisions
of this paragraph 7.3(e), Lessee’s personal property and
equipment, other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that
it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises or the
Building, and other than Utility Installations, shall remain the
property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the
provisions of paragraph 7.2.
(f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and
specifications for any alterations, improvements, additions or
Utility Installations.
7.4 Utility Additions: Lessor reserves the right to
install new or additional utility facilities throughout the Office
Building Project for the benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other
lessee of the Office Building Project, including, but not by way of
limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical systems,
communication systems, and fire protection and detection systems,
so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with
Lessee’s use of the Premises.
8.1 Liability Insurance-Lessee: Lessee
shall, at Lessee’s expense, obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy of Comprehensive General Liability
insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office standard form with

injury and property damage combined or in a greater amount as
reasonably determined by Lessor and shall insure Lessee with Lessor
as an additional insured against liability arising out of the use,

keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined
Single Limit Bodily Injury and Broad Form Property Damage
Insurance, plus coverage against such other risks Lessor deems

maintenance of the Office Building Project in an amount not less
than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence.
8.3 Property Insurance-Lessee: Lessee shall, at
Lessee’s expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of
this Lease for the benefit of Lessee, replacement cost fire and
extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief,
sprinkler leakage and earthquake sprinkler leakage endorsements, in
an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full
replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all
of Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment and tenant
improvements.
8.4 Property Insurance-Lessor: Lessor shall obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of
insurance covering loss or damage to the Office Building Project
improvements, but not Lessee’s personal property, fixtures,
equipment or tenant improvements, in the amount of the full
replacement cost thereof, as the same may exist from time to time,
utilizing Insurance Services Office standard form, or equivalent,
providing protection against all perils included within the
classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious
mischief, plate glass, and such other perils as Lessor deems
advisable or may be required by a lender having a lien on the
Office Building Project. In addition, Lessor shall obtain and keep
in force, during the term of this Lease, a policy of rental value
insurance covering a period of one year, with loss payable to
Lessor, which insurance shall also cover all Operating Expenses for
said period. Lessee will not be named in any such policies carried
by Lessor and shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom. The
policies required by these paragraphs 8.2 and 8.4 shall contain
such deductibles as Lessor or the aforesaid lender may determine.
In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as
defined in paragraph 9.1(f) hereof, the deductible amounts under
the applicable insurance policies shall be deemed an Operating
Expense. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which
shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Lessor, Lessee
shall pay the entirety of any increase in the property insurance
premium for the Office Building Project over what it was
immediately prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease, if
the increase is specified by Lessor’s insurance carrier as
being caused by the nature of Lessee’s occupancy or any act
or omission of Lessee.
8.5 Insurance Policies: Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
copies of liability and property insurance policies required under
paragraphs 8.1 and 8.3 or certificates evidencing the existence and
amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days after the
Commencement Date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancelable
or subject to reduction of coverage or other 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 renewals thereof.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation: Lessee and Lessor each hereby
release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right of
recovery against the other, for direct or consequential loss or
damage arising out of or incident to the perils covered by property
insurance carried by such party, whether due to the negligence of
Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or
invitees. If necessary, all property insurance policies required
under this Lease shall be endorsed to so provide.
8.7 Indemnity: Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless
Lessor and its agents, Lessor’s master or ground lessor,
partners and lenders, from and against any and all claims for
damage to the person or property of anyone or any entity arising
from Lessee’s use of the Office Building Project, or from the
conduct of Lessee’s business or from any activity, work or
things done, permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the
Premises or elsewhere and shall further indemnify and hold harmless
Lessor from and against any and all claims costs and expenses
arising from any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Lessee’s part to be performed under the terms
of this Lease or arising from any act or omission of Lessee or any
of Lessee’s agents contractors employees or invitees and from
and against all costs, attorney’s fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred by Lessor as the result of any such use,
conduct, activity, work, things done, permitted or suffered,
breach, default or negligence, and in dealing reasonably therewith,
including but not limited to the defense or pursuit of any claim or
any action or proceeding involved therein; and in case any action
or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason of such matter.
Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at
Lessee’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense, Lessor need
not have first paid any such claim in order to be so indemnified.
Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby
assumes all risk of damage to property of Lessee or injury to
persons, in, upon or about the Office Building Project arising from
any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof
against Lessor. Broker shall not be obligated to perform, or
discharge, (nor) does Broker hereby undertake to perform or
discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under this Lease or
under or by reason of any assignment.

agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee’s
business or any loss of income therefrom or for loss of or damage

Building Project, or of the equipment, fixtures or appurtenances
applicable thereto, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is
inaccessible, Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising
from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or user of

Destruction, then Lessor may at Lessor’s option either
(i) repair such damage or destruction as soon as reasonably
possible at Lessor’s expense (to the extent the required
materials are readily available through usual commercial channels)
to its condition existing at the time of the damage, but not

substantial damage to the Premises, Lessor may at Lessor’s
option cancel and terminate this Lease as of 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.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that Lessee

notice to Lessee of Lessor’s election to do so within ten
(10) days after the expiration of said twenty (20) day

part of the Premises are not usable (including loss of use due to
loss of access or essential services), the rent payable hereunder
(including Lessee’s Share of Operating Expense Increase) for

damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair
or restoration.

Premises or the Building under the provisions of this Paragraph 9
and shall not commence such repair or restoration within ninety
(90) days after such occurrence, or if Lessor shall not
complete the restoration and repair within six (6) months
after such occurrence, Lessee may at Lessee’s option cancel
and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written notice of
Lessee’s election to do so at any time prior to the
commencement or completion, respectively, of such repair or
restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of such notice.

any such restoration and repair, including but not limited to the
approval and/or execution of plans and specifications required.

this Lease pursuant to this paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment

other lessee. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time that

of any increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason
of additional improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at
Lessee’s request.
