relating to the Premises, which shall arise or become due during
the Lease term, all of which shall be paid by Tenant.

Setoff . Tenant shall pay Landlord all rent, additional
rent, Real Estate Taxes, and other sums required of Tenant under
the Lease, without abatement, deduction or setoff, and irrespective

covenants of this Lease.
(iii)
Application
.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord of an amount less than the full rent, additional rent,
Real Estate Taxes, or other sums required of Tenant under the
Lease, shall be deemed anything other than a payment on account of
the earliest rent, additional rent, Real Estate Taxes, or other sum
due from Tenant under the Lease. No endorsements or statements on
any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent,
additional rent, Real Estate Taxes, or other sum due from Tenant

Landlord. Landlord may accept any check for payment from Tenant

Tenant under the Lease, or to pursue any other right or remedy
provided under this Lease or by Requirements.

taxes and assessments ("Real Estate Taxes") assessed and levied
against the Premises, on the first (1st) day of each month, in
advance, in a sum equal to 1/12th of the annual real estate taxes
and assessments due and payable for the then calendar year. If at a
time a payment is required the amount of the Real Estate Taxes for
the then calendar year shall not be known, Tenant shall pay
Landlord 1/12th of the Real Estate Taxes for the preceding calendar
year; and upon ascertaining the Real Estate Taxes for the current
calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord any difference upon
demand, or if Tenant shall be entitled to a credit, Landlord shall
credit the excess against the next monthly installment(s) of Real
Estate Taxes falling due. Real Estate Taxes payable for the first
and last years of the lease term shall be adjusted and pro rated,
so that Landlord shall be responsible for Landlord's pro rated
share for the period prior to and subsequent to the lease term and
Tenant shall pay Landlord its pro rated share for the lease term.
Provided this Lease is not previously cancelled or terminated, and
there shall be no Event of Default, or an event that with the
giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, then Tenant shall have the right to contest the
amount or validity of any Real Estate Taxes assessed and levied
against the Premises, or to seek a reduction in the valuation of
the building on the Premises assessed for real estate tax purposes,
by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith (the
"Tax Appeal"), but only after payment of such taxes and
assessments. Except as set forth below, Landlord shall not be
required to join in any Tax Appeal. If required by law, Landlord
shall, upon written request of Tenant, join in the Tax Appeal or
permit the Tax Appeal to be brought in Landlord's name, and
Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at the cost and
expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay any increase that may result in
Real Estate Taxes as a consequence of the Tax Appeal, which payment
obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. Landlord estimates that Real Estate Taxes for the 2005
calendar year will be Fifteen Thousand One Hundred and 00/100
Dollars ($15,100.00).

have to carry insurance of any kind on the Premises or on Tenant's
furniture or furnishings, or on any of Tenant's fixtures,

policy. This insurance shall (A) name only Landlord and Landlord's
mortgagees, if any, as their respective interests may appear; (B)
provide that no act of Tenant shall impede the right of Landlord or
Landlord's mortgagees, if any, to receive and collect the insurance

This insurance shall insure Landlord and "Landlord's Indemnitees"
(as defined below) and Tenant, and such other parties as Landlord
may designate, naming each as the insured. Notwithstanding any
contrary provisions contained in this paragraph, if any liability
insurance policy excludes coverage of any claim made by one insured
against another, or any action or suit filed by one insured against
another, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a separate liability
insurance policy, which insures only Landlord and Landlord's
Indemnitees and such other parties as Landlord may designate, in

of insurance evidencing a separate liability insurance policy
insuring Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph. The term "Landlord's Indemnitees" shall mean Landlord's
affiliates, mortgagees, if any, and their respective officers,
shareholders, directors, managers, members, employees, agents and

Worker's Compensation and
Employer's Liability Insurance
.
Worker's Compensation and Employer's
Liability insurance, in a form and in an amount as required to
comply with state law and which shall contain a waiver of
subrogation against Landlord.
(v)
Additional
Insurance . Any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord
or Landlord's mortgagees may reasonably require from time to time,
in form and amounts, and for insurance risks against which a
prudent tenant of a comparable size and in a comparable business
would protect itself.
(b)
Insurance Requirements
Generally . All policies shall be taken out with insurers
that are acceptable to Landlord and in form satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant agrees that certificates of insurance, or, if
required by Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord, certified
copies of each such insurance policy, will be delivered to Landlord
as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance.
Tenant shall, contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease,
provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance as written
evidence of the insurance in force, and renewals thereof shall be
delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the respective policy terms. All policies shall
contain an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the
mortgagees of Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days
before any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, or
other termination thereof.
(c)
Waiver of
Subrogation . To the extent that the parties may legally so
agree, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable by way of
subrogation or otherwise to the other party, or to any insurance
company insuring the other party for any loss or damage to any of
the property of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, which loss
or damage is covered by any insurance policies carried by the
parties and in force at the time of any such damage, even though
such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of
Landlord or Tenant, and the party hereto sustaining such loss or
damage so protected by insurance waives its rights, if any, of
recovery against the other party hereto to the extent and amount
that such loss is covered by such insurance. This release shall be
in effect only so long as the applicable insurance policies shall
contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that the
aforementioned waiver shall not affect the right of the insured to
recover under such policies; Tenant shall use its best efforts
(including payment of any additional premium) to have its insurance
policies contain the standard waiver of subrogation clause. In the
event Tenant's insurance carrier declines to include in such
carrier's policy the standard waiver of subrogation clause, Tenant
shall promptly notify Landlord in writing.

Premises; or (Z) requires structural or non-structural repairs or

directive or requirement.

above ground storage tanks ("Tanks") at the Premises without the
prior written consent of Landlord, and upon demand of Landlord,

reveal the existence of any Contaminants in, on, under, or about,
or migrating from or onto the Premises as a result of a Discharge
during the Lease term, then, in addition to such event constituting
an Event of Default under this Lease, and Landlord having all
rights available to Landlord under this Lease and by law by reason
of such Event of Default, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, in
accordance with all Requirements, undertake all action required by
Landlord and any "Governmental Authority" (as defined below),
including, but not limited to, promptly obtaining and delivering to
Landlord an unconditional written determination by the applicable
environmental protection or conservation agency that there are no
Discharged Contaminants present at the Premises or at any other
site to which a Discharge originating at the Premises migrated, or
that any Discharged Contaminants present at the Premises or that
have migrated from the Premises, have been remediated in accordance
with all applicable requirements ("No Further Action Letter"). In
no event shall any of Tenant's remedial action involve engineering
or institutional controls, a groundwater classification exception
area or well restriction area. Promptly upon completion of all
required investigatory and remedial activities, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's own expense, and to Landlord's satisfaction, restore the
affected areas of the Premises from any damage or condition caused
by the investigatory or remedial work.
(vii)
Hold-Over
Tenancy . If prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease term, Tenant fails to remediate all
Contaminants pursuant to subparagraph (vi) above, and deliver to
Landlord an unconditional No Further Action Letter (the
"Environmental Clearance"); then upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease term, Landlord shall have the option
either to consider the Lease as having ended or treat Tenant as a
hold-over tenant in possession of the Premises. If Landlord
considers the Lease as having ended, then Tenant shall nevertheless
be obligated to promptly obtain and deliver to Landlord the
Environmental Clearance, and otherwise fulfill all of the
obligations of Tenant set forth in this paragraph 8. If Landlord
treats Tenant as a hold-over tenant in possession of the Premises,
then Tenant shall pay, monthly to Landlord, on the first day of
each month, in advance, double the rent that Tenant would otherwise
have paid under the Lease, until such time as Tenant delivers to
Landlord the Environmental Clearance, and otherwise fulfills its
obligations to Landlord under this paragraph 8, and during the
hold-over period, all other terms of this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect.
(viii)
Permits . Tenant shall not commence or alter any
operations at the Premises prior to: (A) obtaining all permits,
registrations, licenses, certificates and approvals from all
Governmental Authorities required pursuant to any Requirements; and
(B) delivering a copy of each permit, registration, license,
certificate and approval to Landlord, together with a copy of the
application upon which such permit, registration, license,
certificate and approval is based.
(ix)
Environmental
Documents . The term "Environmental Documents" shall mean
all environmental documentation concerning the Premises, or its
environs, in the possession or under the control of Tenant,
including but not limited to, plans, reports, correspondence and
submissions. During the term of this Lease, and subsequently,
promptly upon receipt by Tenant or a Tenant Representative, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord all Environmental Documents concerning or
generated by or on behalf of Tenant with respect to the Premises,
whether during or after the Lease term, and whether currently or
hereafter existing. In addition, Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any environmental condition of which Tenant has
knowledge, which may exist in, on, under or about, or may be
migrating from or onto the Premises.
(x)
Attendance at
Meetings . Tenant shall notify Landlord in advance of all
meetings scheduled between Tenant or Tenant's Representatives and
any Governmental Authority pertaining to the Premises, and Landlord
and Landlord's agents, representatives and employees, including,
but not limited to, legal counsel and environmental consultants and
engineers, shall have the right, without the obligation, to attend
and participate in all such meetings.
(xi)
Landlord's Right to
Perform Tenant's Obligations
.
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event, pursuant to this
Lease, Tenant is required to undertake any sampling, assessment,
investigation or remediation with respect to the Premises, then, at
Landlord's discretion, Landlord shall have the right (but without
any obligation to do so), upon notice to Tenant, from time to time,
to perform such activities at Tenant's expense, and all sums
incurred by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant, as additional rent,
upon demand, together with interest at the Prime Rate, accruing
from the date of Landlord's demand.
(xii)
Interpretation and
Definitions .
(A)
Interpretation
.
The obligations imposed upon Tenant
under this subparagraph (b) are in addition to and are not intended
to limit, but to expand upon, the obligations imposed upon Tenant
under subparagraph (a).
(B)
Contaminants
.
The term "Contaminants" shall
include, without limitation, any regulated substance, toxic
substance, hazardous substance, hazardous waste, pollution,
pollutant or contaminant, as defined or referred to in the Resource

amendments thereto, regulations promulgated thereunder and all
substitutions thereof, as well as words of similar purport or
meaning referred to in any other federal, State of Arizona, county
or municipal environmental statute, ordinance, code, rule,
regulation, order, directive or requirement, including, without
limitation, radon, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, urea
formaldehyde and petroleum products and petroleum based
derivatives. Where a statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation,
order, directive or requirement defines any of these terms more
broadly than another, the broader definition shall
apply.
(C)
Discharge
.
The term "Discharge" shall mean the
releasing, spilling, leaking, leaching, disposing, pumping,
pouring, emitting, emptying or dumping of Contaminants at, into,
onto or migrating from or onto the Premises, regardless of whether

Survival
.

expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Without limiting
any other remedy available to Landlord under this Lease or by
Requirements, Tenant's failure to abide by the terms of this
paragraph 8 shall be restrainable or enforceable, as the case may
be, by injunction.
9.
Alterations, Additions
and Improvements . No alterations, additions or improvements shall
be made by Tenant to the building and improvements on the Premises,
nor to any air conditioning system, heating system, plumbing
system, electrical system, nor shall antennas or fixtures be
installed in or on the building or improvements to the Premises,
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
granted or withheld by Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute
discretion. All alterations, additions or improvements and systems
installed in or attached to the Premises by Tenant shall, at the
option of Landlord, upon the expiration or earlier termination of
the Lease, belong to and become the property of Landlord without
any payment from Landlord and if such option is exercised, shall be
surrendered by Tenant in good order and condition as part of the
Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease
term. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall restore the Premises to
the condition it was in prior to Tenant's occupancy, such
restoration to be completed on or before the expiration of the
Lease term, at Tenant's own expense. Tenant shall not use or
penetrate the roof of the building on the Premises for any purpose
whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent may be granted or withheld by Landlord, in Landlord's sole
and absolute discretion. All alterations, additions or improvements
consented to by Landlord shall be performed by Tenant in a good and
workmanlike manner, in compliance with all Requirements.
10.
Fire and Other Casualty
Affecting the Premises .
(a)
Notice of Casualty by
Tenant . If the improvements situated upon the Premises
shall be damaged or destroyed by any peril, including, but not
limited to, fire, wind storm or other casualty (each such
occurrence, a "Casualty"), at any time, whether covered by
insurance to be provided by Tenant under this Lease, or not, Tenant
shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect.
(b)
Restoration by
Tenant . If at any time any Casualty occurs, Tenant shall
proceed in good faith and with due diligence to restore, replace,
rebuild and repair the improvements damaged or destroyed by such
Casualty to substantially the same condition such improvements were
in immediately prior to such damage or destruction, and Tenant's
obligations to pay the rent, additional rent and other sums
required of Tenant under the Lease shall not be abated or reduced,
nor shall Tenant be entitled to surrender possession of the
Premises by reason thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Lease, the net insurance proceeds, if
any, collected by Landlord from any insurance policy, and not
otherwise payable to a mortgagee of Landlord, after deducting all
costs of collection (including, but not limited to, the fees of any
adjuster employed by Landlord with respect to the collection of any
insurance proceeds), (the "Restoration Funds"), shall be available
to be used by Tenant for the restoration of the Premises. If the
Restoration Fund is Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars or
less, the whole thereof shall be paid to Tenant and deposited in
trust in a segregated interest bearing account by Tenant, in a
financial institution designated by Landlord. If the Restoration
Fund is in excess of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars,
the Restoration Fund shall continue to be held by Landlord, and
provided Tenant complies with the provisions of this paragraph, the
Restoration Fund shall be made available to Tenant, from time to
time, in the manner and to the extent hereinafter provided, to pay
for the costs of the restoration of the Premises; provided,
however, that Landlord, before paying such monies over to Tenant,
shall be entitled to reimburse itself from the Restoration Fund to
the extent, if any, of the expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in
the administration of the Restoration Fund and oversight of the
restoration, including, without limitation, fees for consultants,
counsel and engineers. Any funds left after the completion of and
payment for all restoration of the Premises shall be retained by
Landlord.
(i)
Requisitions for
Payment . The Restoration Fund shall be paid to Tenant,
from time to time, in installments as the restoration work
progresses, upon requisitions to be submitted by Tenant to Landlord
showing the cost of labor and materials incorporated in the
restoration, or incorporated therein since the last previous
requisition. If any vendors, mechanics, laborers, or materialman's
lien is filed against the Premises, Tenant shall not be entitled to
receive any further installment until such lien is satisfied or
otherwise discharged.
(ii)
Amount of
Payment . The amount of any installment to be paid to
Tenant shall be such proportion of the total Restoration Fund
received as the cost of labor and materials theretofore
incorporated by Tenant in the restoration bears to the total
estimated cost of the restoration by Tenant, less (A) all payments
theretofore made to Tenant out of the Restoration Fund and (B) ten
(10%) percent of the amount so determined.
(iii)
Deficiency and
Completion . In the event the Restoration Fund is
insufficient for the purpose of paying for the restoration, or to
the extent any mortgagee shall not permit the insurance proceeds to
be used for restoration, Tenant shall nevertheless be required to
make the restoration and pay any additional sums required for the
restoration. The restoration shall be deemed complete when the
restoration has been completed substantially in accordance with the
plans and specifications therefore, as determined by a joint
inspection by Landlord and Tenant, and a certificate of occupancy
has been issued, allowing the improvements to be used and operated
for their intended purpose.
(iv)
Conditions to
Payment . In addition to the foregoing, in no event shall
any Restoration Funds be paid until there has been submitted to
Landlord:
(A)
Architect or Contractor
Certificate . A certificate of Tenant's architect or Tenant's
contractor stating that the sum then requested to be withdrawn
either has been paid by Tenant or is justly due to contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects who have
rendered or furnished certain services and materials for the work
and giving a brief description of such services and materials and
the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the several
amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof,
and stating in reasonable detail the progress of the work up to the
date of said certificate; the sum then requested does not exceed
the value of the services and materials described in the
certificate; and the balance of the Restoration Funds held by
Landlord shall be sufficient upon completion of the restoration to
pay for the same in full, and stating in reasonable detail the
estimate of the cost of such completion;
(B)
Title
.
There shall be furnished to Landlord
an official search, or a certificate of title insurance company
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, showing that there has not been filed any
vendor's, mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's statutory or other
similar lien affecting the Premises, which has not been discharged
of record, except as shall be discharged upon payment of the amount
then requested to be withdrawn;
(C)
No Event of
Default . At the time of making such payment, there shall
not have been an Event of Default, or an event that with the
passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute
an Event of Default;
(D)
Final
Payment . With respect only to the final payment, at the
time of making such payment, Tenant shall have substantially
completed the restoration as evidenced by a certificate of
occupancy or completion, issued by the appropriate Governmental
Authority.
(c)
Failure by Tenant to
Commence Restoration . If Tenant shall fail to commence the necessary
repairs, replacements or reconstruction required for the
restoration of the Premises within forty-five (45) days after
receipt by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, of the
Restoration Funds, or any part thereof, or if Tenant shall have
commenced restoration, but shall fail to continue restoration with
reasonable diligence, then unless such delay shall have been due to
causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant, Landlord shall have
the right, at Landlord's option, following thirty (30) days prior
notice to Tenant, to deem such an event as an Event of Default, and
in addition to all other rights provided to Landlord under this
Lease and by Requirements, Tenant shall promptly pay over to
Landlord all Restoration Funds held by Tenant.
11.
Assignment and
Subletting .
(a)
Landlord's Consent
Required . Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of
law assign, sublet, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber all
or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises
without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be
granted or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Any
attempted assignment, subletting, mortgage, transfer or encumbrance
without such consent shall be void as against Landlord, and shall
constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Any
Change in Control of Tenant shall be deemed an assignment in
violation of this Lease. The term "Change in Control" with respect
to a corporation means any of the following: (A) the direct or
indirect sale or exchange by the stockholders of a corporation of
all or substantially all of the stock of the corporation if the
stockholders of the corporation before such sale or exchange do not
retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the
beneficial interest in the voting stock of the corporation after
such sale or exchange; (B) a merger or consolidation if the
stockholders of a corporation before such merger or consolidation
do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the
beneficial interest in the voting stock of the corporation after
such merger or consolidation (regardless of whether the corporation
is the surviving corporation); (C) the sale, exchange or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation; or (D)
a liquidation or dissolution of a corporation.
(b)
No Release of
Tenant . Regardless of Landlord's consent or the need
under subparagraph (a) to obtain Landlord's consent, no assignment
or subletting shall release Tenant from this Lease. Acceptance of
rent and additional rent from any other person shall not be deemed
a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease. Consent to one
assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of a consent by
Landlord to an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a duplicate original of the assignment by Tenant and
assumption by Tenant's assignee of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, or a duplicate original of the sublease, as the case may
be.
(c)
Participation by Landlord . In
the event of any assignment or sublease involving rent in excess of
the rent or additional rent required under this Lease ("Excess
Rent"), Landlord shall participate in the Excess Rent. Tenant shall
promptly pay to Landlord, as additional rent, fifty (50%) percent
of all such Excess Rent collected from the assignee or subtenant,
and shall supply Landlord with a true copy of each assignment or
sublease, and in the case of the former, an originally executed
assumption by the assignee of all of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease.
12.
Landlord's Right to
Inspect and Repair . Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or
representatives, shall have the right to enter into and upon all or
any part of the Premises during the Lease term at all reasonable
hours, for the purpose of: (a) examination; (b) determination
whether Tenant is in compliance with its obligations under this
Lease; or (c) making repairs, alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises, as may be necessary by reason of
Tenant's failure to make same after notice to Tenant to do so,
except in an emergency. This paragraph shall not be deemed nor
construed to create an obligation on the part of Landlord to make
any inspection of the Premises or to make any repairs, alterations,
additions or improvements to the Premises for its safety or
preservation.
13.
Landlord's Right to
Exhibit Premises . Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or
representatives shall have the right to show the Premises during
the Lease term to persons wishing to purchase or grant fee
mortgages on the Premises. Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees
or other representatives shall have the right within the last six
