in this Lease to provide the same or some of them.
- Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by Lessee within ten
(10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses is presented
to Lessee by Lessor. At, Lessor's option, however, an amount may be estimated by
Lessor from time to time of Lessee's Share of annual Operating Expenses and the
same shall be payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during
each 12-month period of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due
hereunder. In the event that Lessee pays Lessor's estimate of Lessee's Share of
Operating Expenses as aforesaid, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within 60 days
after the expiration of each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement
showing Lessee's Share of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during the
preceding year. If Lessee's payments under this paragraph 4.2(d) during said

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 or 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. If the monthly rent shall,
from time to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the
time of such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security
deposit so that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at
all times bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial
security deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 4. 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, or so much thereof as has not theretofore 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.
Use.
- Use.
The Premises shall be used and occupied only for data processing
services administration services, office functions, storage and distribution of
product or any other use which is reasonably comparable and for no other
purpose.
Compliance with Law.
Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state existing on
the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to 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 excluding
Americans Disabilities Act (ADA requirements 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. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor written notice of the
violation of this warranty within six (6) months from the date that the Lease
term commences, the correction of same shall be the obligation of the Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2(a) shall be of
no force or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was an owner or
occupant of the Premises and, in such event, Lessee shall correct any such
violation at Lessee's sole cost.
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 the 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 and of the
Common Areas. Lessee shall not use nor 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 Industrial Center.

the Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in possession) and Lessor
warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, heating, and loading doors in
the Premises shall be in good operating condition on the Lease commencement
date. 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. Lessee's failure to give such
written notice to Lessor within 30 days after the Lease commencement date shall
cause the conclusive presumption that Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's
obligations hereunder. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.3(a) shall be
of no force or effect if prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was an owner or
occupant of the Premises.
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts the
Premises 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 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 neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business. Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee, at

including any necessary conditional use permits but excluding any zone changes,

repairs under this paragraph 7.1 until a reasonable time after receipt of

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. Lessor shall not be liable for damages or loss of
any kind or nature by reason of Lessor's failure to furnish any Common Area

lockout, or other labor disturbances or disputes of any character, or by any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of Lessor.

Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, and
the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the maximum rate then
allowable by law shall be due and payable as additional rent to Lessor together
with Lessee's next Base Rent installment.
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,

nor the exterior of the Building nor the Industrial Center without Lessor's
prior written consent. As used in this paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility

to their prior condition. 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, Lessor
may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any
or all of the same.
Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations in or
about the Premises or the Industrial Center that Lessee shall desire to make and
which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to, Lessor in
written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent,
the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so
from appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to
Lessor prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
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,

shall give Lessor not less than 10 days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
nonresponsibility in or on the Premises or the Building as provided by law. If

demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against
the same and shall pay and satisfy and such adverse judgment that may be
rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the
Premises or the Industrial Center, 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 and the Industrial
Center free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may
require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to Lessor's best interest to do so.
All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations, which
may be made on the Premises, shall be the property of Lessor and shall 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).

equipment, other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be
removed without material damage to the Premises, 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.

additional utility facilities throughout the Building and the Common Areas for
the benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Industrial Center,

Premises and the Industrial Center. Such insurance shall be in an amount not
less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence. The policy shall insure performance by

term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to

Center, or by the nature of such other lessee's occupancy which create an
extraordinary or unusual risk.
Lessee, however, shall pay the entirety of any increase in the property
insurance premium for the Industrial Center over what it was immediately prior

or any act or omission of Lessee.

not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance
policies carried by Lessor. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of liability
insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 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

written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least 30 days prior to the expiration
of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof.
Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other and waive their entire right of recovery against the other for
loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against which
perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to the negligence of
Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees. Lessee
and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required give notice
to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of
subrogation is contained in this Lease.

shall further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
claims 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

Center arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives, all claims in respect
thereof against Lessor.

employees, and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessee by reason of any such claim, Lessor upon notice from Lessee,
shall defend the same at Lessor's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to

results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage,

plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises
or upon other portions of the Industrial Center, or from other sources or places
and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of
repairing the same is inaccessible to Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or user of
the Industrial Center, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce the provisions
of any other lease of the Industrial Center.

of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to the other

damage.
Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that Lessee has an option to
extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which said option may be
exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such option, if it is to be
exercised at all, no later than 20 days after the occurrence of an Insured Loss
falling within the classification of Premises Partial Damage during the last six
months of the term of this Lease. If Lessee duly exercises such option during
said 20 day period, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage, but
not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements, as soon as reasonably
possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails
to exercise such option during said 20-day period, then Lessor may at Lessor's
option terminate and cancel this Lease as of the expiration of said 20 day
period by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within
ten (10) days after the expiration of said 20 day period, notwithstanding any
term or provision in the grant of option to the contrary.

In the event Lessor repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph 9, the rent payable hereunder for the period during
which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in proportion
to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired. Except for
abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any
damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or
restoration.
If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the
provisions of this paragraph 9 and shall not commence such repair or restoration
within 90 days after such obligation shall accrue, 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 of such repair or
restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of this
notice.

pursuant to this paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in
addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit as has not
theretofore been applied by Lessor.
Waiver. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statute which
relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and agree that
such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
Real Property Taxes.
- Payment of Taxes.
Lessor shall pay the real property tax, as defined in
paragraph 10.3, applicable to the Industrial Center subject to reimbursement by
Lessee of Lessee's Share of such taxes in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 4.2, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.2
Additional Improvements. Lessee shall not be responsible for paying
Lessee's Share of any increase in real property tax specified in the tax
assessor's records and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements
placed upon the Industrial Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the
exclusive enjoyment of such other lessees. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor
at the time that Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the
entirety 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.
Definition of "Real Property Tax. As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Industrial Center or any portion thereof by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary,
fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any
legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or in any portion
thereof, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and as
against Lessor's business of leasing the Industrial Center. The term "real
property tax" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in
substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge
hereinabove included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the
nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged
prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged, has been increased since June
1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or
total, of Lessor's interest in the Industrial Center of which is added to a tax
or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of real property tax by
reason of such transfer, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction,
any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.
Joint Assessment. If the Industrial Center is not separately
assessed, Lessee's Share of the real property tax liability shall be an
equitable proportion of the real property taxes for all of the land and
improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be
determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's
work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's
reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.
Personal Property Taxes.
Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and
levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. Mien possible, Lessee
shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
Lessor.
If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's
real property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee
within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the
taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to the
Premises, Lessee shall pay at Lessor's option, either Lessee's Share or a
reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered
with other premises in the Building.
Assignment and Subletting.
- Lessor's Consent Required.
Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation
of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all
or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises, without
Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold.
Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a timely
manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under paragraph 13.1.
Lessee Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate,"
provided that before such assignment shall be effective said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this
Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
Terms and Conditions of Assignment. Regardless of Lessor's consent,
no assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the, Base Rent and Lessee's Share of
Operating Expenses, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by
Lessee hereunder. Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
pending approval or disapproval of such assignment. Neither a delay in the
approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of rent shall
constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for
the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.
Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor
of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against
said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without
notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or their
consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this
Lease.
Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. Regardless of
Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any
subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be included in
subleases:
- Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in
all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by
Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same toward
Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default
shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee
may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor
shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor
nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable
to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of
Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such sublease. Lessee hereby
irrevocably authorizes and dire( ; any such sublessee, upon receipt of written
notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents due and to become due
under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such sublessees shall have the right to
rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor, and that such sublessee
shall pay such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to
whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from
Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against such
sublessee or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
- No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless and until it
has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any sublease, Lessee
shall use only such form of sublease as is satisfactory to Lessor, and once
approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without
Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublessee shall, by reason of entering into
a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have
assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein
to be performed by Lessee, other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has
expressly consented in writing.
- If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third
parties, then a sublease and Lessor's consent thereto, shall not be effective
unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease and the terms
thereof.
- The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not release Lessee from its
obligations or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and perform
and comply with all of the obligations of Lessee to be performed under this
Lease.
- The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not constitute consent to any
subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any assignment or subletting by the
sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments
of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying
Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining
their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from
liability.
- In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly
against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance
of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's
remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or
any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
- In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its obligations
under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may
require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake
the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of the exercise of
said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall
not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee
to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under such sublease.
- Each and every consent required of Lessee under a sublease shall also
require the consent of Lessor.
- No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent.
- Lessor's written consent to any subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall
not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease of
the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall such consent be deemed a
waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise stated by Lessor
at the time.
- With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented, Lessor agrees
to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the sublessee. Such
sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within 10 days after
service of said notice of default upon such sublessee, and the sublessee shall
have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such
defaults cured by the sublessee.
Attorney's Fees. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or requests the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such
request.
Default; Remedies.
- Default.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:
- The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee. ,
- The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other payment
required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such failure
shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to Pay
Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to
Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by this
subparagraph.
- Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by Lessee to observe
or perform any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above,
where such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
noncompliance is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its
cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such
cure within said 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion. To the extent permitted by law, such 30-day notice shall constitute
the sole and exclusive notice required to be given to Lessee under applicable
Unlawful Detainer statutes.
- (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general assignment
for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as defined in 11
U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition
filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within 30 days. In the event that any provision of
this paragraph 13.1(d) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall
be of no force or effect.
- The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by
Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any successor in
interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation hereunder, was
materially false.
Remedies. In the event of any such material default by Lessee,
Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without
limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by
reason of such default:
- Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means,
in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and any
real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the
court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
- Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease shall
continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.
- Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws
or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid
installment of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the
terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate
then allowable by law.
Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than 30 days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the
holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name
and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing,
specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than 30
days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor
commences performance within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.
Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses or other sums due
hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the
exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Property. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent,
Operating Expenses, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by
Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due,
then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of
such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late
charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of any of the aforesaid monetary obligations of Lessee, then Base
Rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather
than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease
to the contrary.
Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the
Industrial Center are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the
threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called
"condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the
date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs.
If more than 10% of the floor area of the Premises, or more than 25% of that
portion of the Common Areas designated as parking for the Industrial Center is
taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in,
writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written
notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days
after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease
as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does
not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the premises remaining,
except that the rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of
the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises. No reduction
of rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have the
Premises located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the
Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of
the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award
shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for
the taking of the fee, or as severance damages: provided, however, that Lessee
shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and
removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by
reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages
received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to
the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has
been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any
amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such
repair.
Broker's Fee.
Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay to Eric
Fuller & Associates, Inc. and Property Brokers. Licensed real estate
broker(s), a fee as set forth in a separate agreement between Lessor and said
broker(s), or in the event there is no separate agreement between Less r and
said broker(s), the sum of $ . for brokerage services rendered by s; i
broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.
Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercises any Option, as defined in
paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under this Lease, or
any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to an Option
granted to Lessee under this Lease, or if Lessee acquires any rights to the
Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are substantially
similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein granted to
Lessee been exercised, or if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after
the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an
Option, or if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale
entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent
property in which Lessor has an interest, then as to any of said transactions,
Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said
broker(s) in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease.
Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor but also on
behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity having an
ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when such fee is
due hereunder. Any transferee of Lessor's interests in this Lease, whether such
transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed
Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Said broker shall be a third party
beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph 15.
Estoppel Certificate.
Each party (as "responding party") shall at any time upon not less than
ten (10) days' prior written notice from the other party ("requesting party")
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing
(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, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that
there are not, to the responding party's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the
part of the requesting party, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrance of the Premises or of the business of the requesting party.
At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such statement
within such times shall be a material default of this Lease by the party who is
to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall be conclusive
upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii) there
are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance, and (iii) if
Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one month's rent has been paid in
advance.
If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Property, or any part
thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated
by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably required by
such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past three (3)
years' financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be
received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used
only for the purposes herein set forth.
Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Industrial Center, and except as expressly
provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or
interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the
grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided
that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.
The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject
as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.
Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein
provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the
maximum rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided,
however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee
nor on any amount upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the
obligations to be performed under this Lease.
Additional Rent. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under
the terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Lessee's, Share of
Operating Expenses and insurance and tax expenses payable shall be deemed to be
rent.
Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains
all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No
prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such
matter shall be effective. This lease may be modified in writing only, signed by
the patties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise
stated in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate
broker listed in paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this
transaction nor the Lessor or any employee or agents or any of said persons has
made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the
condition or use by Lessee of the Premises or the Property and Lessee
acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational
Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the
compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the
term of this Lease except as otherwise specifically stated in this Lease.
Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail,
and if given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if
addressed to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the
respective parties, as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other
specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking
possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for
notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to
Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at
such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to
Lessee.
Waivers. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed
a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach, at the time of
acceptance of such rent.
Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.
Holding Over. See Paragraph 51.
Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable
by Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof
restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of
paragraph 17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
where the Industrial Center is located and any litigation concerning this Lease
between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the
Industrial Center is located.
Subordination.
This Lease, and any Option granted hereby, at Lessor's option, shall be
subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other
hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Industrial Center and
to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any
mortgagee, trustee, or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any
Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or
ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and
such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or subsequent to the
date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording
thereof.
Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an attornment,
a subordination or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein prior to the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be.
Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written
demand shall constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder without further
notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall execute such documents on
behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make,
constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in
Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with
this paragraph 30(b).
Attorney's Fees. If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring
an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the
prevailing party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to
his reasonable attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the
court. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker
named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
Lessor's Access. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same,
showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or the Building any
ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of
the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.
All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall be without abatement
of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for the same.
Auctions. Except for internet auction sales, Lessee shall not
conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either voluntarily or involuntarily, any
auction upon the Premises or the Common Areas without first having obtained
Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard or reasonableness
in determining, whether to grant such consent.
Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or the
Industrial Center without Lessor's prior written consent. Under no circumstances
shall Lessee place a sign on any roof of the Industrial Center.
Merger. The voluntary or ether surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or
a mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
Consents. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Guarantor. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease,
said guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
Quiet Possession. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Property.
Options.
- Definition.
As used in this paragraph the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or
to renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other
property of Lessor; (2) the option or right of first refusal to lease the
Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first
refusal to lease other space within the Industrial Center or other property of
Lessor; (3) the right or option to purchase the Premises or the Industrial
Center, or the right of first refusal to purchase. the Premises or the
Industrial Center, or the right of first offer to purchase the Premises or the
Industrial Center, or the right or option to purchase other property of Lessor,
or the right of first refusal to purchase other property of Lessor or the right
of first offer to purchase other property of Lessor.
Options Personal. Each Option granted to Lessee in this Lease is
personal to the original Lessee and may be exercised only by the original Lessee
while occupying the Premises who does so without the intent of thereafter
assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises or any portion thereof, and may
not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any
person or entity other than Lessee, provided, however, that an Option may be
exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as defined in paragraph 12.2 of
this Lease. The Options, if any, herein granted to Lessee are not assignable
separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this
Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple options
to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless the
prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.
Effect of Default on Options.
Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding any
provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during the time commencing
from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default pursuant to paragraph
13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice
of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time commencing on the date
after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee and unpaid (without any
necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) and continuing until the obligation is
paid, or (iii) at any time after an event of default described in paragraphs
13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1 (e) (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice of
such default to Lessee), or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee
three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c),
whether or not the defaults are cured, during the 12-month period of time
immediately prior to the time that Lessee attempts to exercise the Subject
Option.
The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not be
extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an Option
because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).
All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely
exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of this
Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of Lessee for a
period of 30 days after such obligation becomes due (without any necessity of
Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails to commence to
cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(c) within 30 days after the date that
Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails thereafter to
diligently prosecute said cure to completion, or (iii) Lessee commits a default
described in paragraph 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e) (without any necessity of
Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv) Lessor gives to Lessee
three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c),
whether or not the defaults are cured.

no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for
the benefit of the Premises or the Industrial Center. Lessee assumes all
responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents, and invitees and the
property of Lessee and of Lessee's agents and invitees from acts of third
parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Lessor, at Lessor's sole option,
from providing security protection for the Industrial Center or any part
thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within the definition
of Operating Expenses, as set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).
Easements. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time,
to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or
desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long
as such easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign
any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so
shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee without the need for
further notice to Lessee.
Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as
to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have tile right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on
the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall
be adjudged that there was. no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay
such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum
or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of
this Lease.

partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within 30 days after execution of this Lease, deliver
to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.
Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease
and the typewritten or handwritten provisions, if any, shall be controlled by
the typewritten or handwritten provisions.
Offer. Preparation of this Lease by Lessor or Lessor's agent and
submission of same to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to lease. This Lease
shall become binding upon Lessor and Lessee only when fully executed by Lessor
and Lessee.

paragraphs 47 through 53 which constitute a part of this Lease.
