RADIUS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Radius Inc. ("Radius" or
the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Examples include provisions for returns and bad debts and the length of
product life cycles. Actual results may differ from management's estimates.
Results for the three months ended December 31, 1998 will not necessarily
indicate the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September
30, 1999 or any other future period. The information included in this Form
10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 31, 1998.
For clarity of presentation, all fiscal periods are reported as ending
on a calendar month end.
NOTE 2. INVENTORIES

NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) On January 15, 1999, the Company and one of its directors,
Charles Berger, were named as defendants in a shareholder class action
lawsuit against Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Splash"), various
directors and executives of Splash and certain selling shareholders of
Splash. The suit was filed in the United States District Court in Northern
District of California. The Company is still investigating these claims and
therefore, cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. The Company
expects to defend itself and its officers and directors from these claims.
(b) On November 16, 1995, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EFI")
filed a suit in the United States District Court in the Northern District
of California alleging that the Company infringes a patent allegedly owned
by EFI. Although the complaint does not specify which of the Company's
products allegedly infringe the patent, subsequent pleading indicates that
EFI alleges that the Company's Color Server products infringe. In January
1996, the Company completed the divestiture of the Color Server Group to
Splash Technology Holdings, Inc.
The Company has filed an answer denying all material allegations,
and has filed counterclaims against EFI alleging causes of action for
interference with prospective economic benefit, antitrust violations, and
unfair business practices. EFI's motion to dismiss or sever the Company's
amended counterclaims was granted in part and the ruling permitted the
Company to file an amended counterclaim for antitrust violations. The
Company has filed an amended antitrust claim. The Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to EFI's claims and is defending them vigorously. In
addition, the Company believes it may have indemnification rights or
additional immunity with respect to elements of EFI's claims. A motion for
summary judgment based on these indemnification rights disposing of EFI's
claims was filed, and the court granted this motion finding the Company
immune from suit under the patent after February 22, 1995. In March 1998,
EFI and the Company agreed to dismiss their remaining claims against each
other pending the outcome of EFI's appeal of this summary judgment finding.
Pursuant to this agreement, if the Company prevails on appeal, the
remaining claims will be dismissed. On the other hand, if EFI were to
prevail on appeal, then EFI could
-6-
<PAGE>
refile its claims and the Company would intend to continue to vigorously
defend against such claims and prosecute its own claims against EFI. In
such event, neither the Company nor Splash Technology Holdings, Inc.
would be able to advance the immunity defense ruled on in the summary
judgment motion, which would require the Company to defend EFI's claims
based upon their merits. EFI filed its notice of appeal on April 7,
1998, each party submitted opening briefs, oral argument was heard in
December 1998 and the District Court summary judgement was affirmed by
the Federal Circuit Court after the oral argument. No further appeal is
expected and in such event, the Company believes the case should be
concluded.
(c) On July 18, 1997, Intelligent Electronics, Inc. and its
affiliates filed a suit in the United States District Court for the
District of Colorado alleging a breach of contract and related claims in
the approximate amount of $800,000, maintaining that the Company failed to
comply with various return, price protection, inventory balancing and
marketing development funding undertakings. In 1997, the Company filed an
answer to the complaint and cross-claimed against the plaintiffs and in
October 1997 additionally cross claimed against Deutsche Financial, Inc., a
factor in the account relationship between the Company and the plaintiffs,
seeking the recovery of approximately $2 million. The Company continues to
investigate these claims as well as cross claims and expects to vigorously
defend and prosecute them as applicable. The Company has provided for the
full amount of accounts receivable due from Intelligent Electronics, Inc.
and Deutsche Financial, Inc.
(d) The Company is involved in a number of other judicial and
administrative proceedings incidental to its business. The Company intends
to defend such lawsuits vigorously and although adverse decisions (or
settlements) may occur in one or more of such cases, the final resolution
of these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
However, depending on the amount and timing of an unfavorable resolution of
these lawsuits, it is possible that the Company's future results of
operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in a
particular period. In addition, the costs of defense, regardless of the
outcome, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations
and financial condition of the Company.
NOTE 4. LICENSING OF ASSETS TO KOREA DATA SYSTEMS AMERICA, INC.
In June 1998, the Company licensed certain technology and assets
necessary to conduct its monitor and color publishing business to Korea
Data Systems America, Inc. ("KDS"), leaving the Company free to focus on
its digital video software business. The brand name and trademark RADIUS
was one of the assets so licensed because of its primary association with
monitors. In August 1998, the Company amended and restated this license and
agreed to sell the licensed assets to KDS pursuant to an asset transfer
agreement, subject to certain contingencies at the discretion of KDS. The
monitor business has accounted for substantially all of the revenues of the
color publishing product line and 55.3% of the Company's revenues during
fiscal 1998. Under the license and asset transfer agreement, Radius has
transferred (by licensing or by assignment if KDS elects to close the asset
transfer agreement) its Radius, Supermac, PressView and certain other
trademarks to KDS and has licensed certain intellectual property pertaining
to PressView and PrecisionView monitors. The expected value of the
transaction is $6.2 million paid or to be paid in installments. As of
December 31, 1998, $2.25 million was paid under the amended license and
$0.5 million under the original license in June 1998. The remaining amount
is payable in installments through October 1999. These installment payment
obligations have been pledged to secure a $4.2 million line of credit from
Silicon Valley Bank (as of December 31, 1998, the amount available to
borrow was $2.8 million). KDS' performance is guaranteed by a Korean
corporation and its US affiliate. The agreement is expected to close by
June 1999 if contingencies are satisfied. In the interim, Radius has
licensed KDS the use of its monitor trademarks and specific technology and
expects to wind down its monitor business activities as current supplies of
monitors are sold, whether or not the asset purchase agreement is
completed. In the event that the asset purchase agreement is not completed,
the license agreement will continue as a perpetual license. Radius will
continue to use the transferred trademarks and technology until the
transition is completed over the next several months and expects to focus
on its digital video line of business during this transition period.
As of December 31, 1998, the remaining balance receivable under
the agreement was $3.4 million which is included as note receivable and
deferred revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
Company will recognize other income under the license agreement as cash is
received on the note.
-7-
<PAGE>
On December 4, 1998, Radius and KDS supplementally agreed to the
sale of certain tangible personal property and the transfer of rights in
the Radius Emachines and Colormatch trademarks for $100,000 and other
consideration.
NOTE 5. TECHNOLOGY PURCHASE FROM POST DIGITAL SOFTWARE, INC.
On November 23, 1998, the Company acquired certain software and
other intangible property from Post Digital Software, Inc. for (i) an
initial payment of $50,000, (ii) earnout payments equal to at least $50,000
but not exceeding $700,000 based on subsequent sales of the Company's
digital video products incorporating such software and (iii) a warrant to
purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.50 per share. The warrant is exercisable over a four year
period through November 23, 2002. The warrant can be exercised for up to
12,000 shares on May 1, 1999, plus an additional 2,000 shares for each full
month that transpires thereafter, up to a total of 50,000 shares. The value
of this agreement, as noted below, is included as purchased technology in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The technology is being
amortized over a three year period and future royalties based on digital
video products sold will be expensed as they are incurred.

NOTE 6. TRANSACTIONS WITH SPLASH TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.
ESCROW FUND RELEASE
In connection with the Company's sale of its Color Server Group to
Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. in January 1996, an escrow fund was
established to secure certain indemnification obligations. On December 31,
1998, the balance of the escrow fund of $2.2 million was released to the
Company as a result of the Federal Circuit Court affirming the summary
judgment in favor of the Company in the EFI litigation. See Note 3. The
Company used approximately $1.0 million of the proceeds to repay all
outstanding indebtedness to Silicon Valley Bank under the working capital
line of credit and will use the remaining proceeds to fund future working
capital needs.
SALE OF CERTAIN COLOR PUBLISHING TECHNOLOGY
On December 4, 1998, the Company agreed to sell certain software
and other intangible property associated with its monitor and color
publishing business to Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. for $275,000 and
other consideration.
NOTE 7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and related Information." This statement establishes
standards for the way companies report information about operating segments
in financial statements. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The disclosures prescribed by SFAS 131 will be adopted for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.
NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common
equivalent shares consist of employee stock options and warrants using the
treasury stock method.

Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." SFAS 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments and
changes in the fair value of available-for-sale-securities to be included
in comprehensive income. However, it has no impact on the net income or
stockholders' equity as presented in the financial statements.
The components of comprehensive net income, net of tax, are as

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: The following discussion
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Statements indicating that the Company or management "intends", "plans",
"expects," "estimates" or "believes" are forward-looking, as are all other
statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other
events that have not yet occurred. There are several important factors that
could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated
by the forward-looking statements contained in this discussion and other
sections of this Form 10-Q. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the
Company's ability to achieve profitability; receipt of timely installment
payments from KDS; the Company's ability to repay any amounts it may borrow from
Silicon Valley Bank; the Company's ability to successfully conclude its
litigation with IE and Splash shareholders; the success of the Company's digital
video software products on which the Company expects to be substantially
dependent; the success of the Apple Macintosh computer line and operating
system, the success of Apple, as well as the Company's ability to compete
successfully with Apple in its markets, including the non linear digital video
editing software market; the success of Apple's Quicktime technology for
Windows; favorable licensing terms for Quicktime from Apple; the Company's
ability to successfully develop, introduce and market new software products,
including products for the Windows operating system, to keep pace with
technological innovation, particularly in light of its limited financial
resources; the Company's ability to compete in the digital video software
market, including with Apple; the ability of the Company's manufacturers and
suppliers to deliver components and manufacture the Company's products; the
Company's ability to achieve Year 2000 readiness in our business operations and
our dealings with significant third parties; the Company's reliance on
international sales and its new distributor arrangements with respect to Europe
and Japan; and the Company's ability to attract and retain its key personnel.
Each forward-looking statement should be read in conjunction with the entire
consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto in Part I, Item
1 of this Quarterly Report, with the information contained in Item 2, including,
but not limited to, "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results," and with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998, including, but not limited to, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of Operations."
OVERVIEW
The Company designs, develops, assembles, markets and supports digital
video computer products for creative professionals and consumers who use digital
camcorders. The Company's current product line includes: multimedia authoring
and editing video systems and software that can acquire and manipulate video and
audio information.
The primary target markets for the Company's products are video
editors, video producers, and creators of multimedia. These markets encompass
creative professionals involved in such areas as multimedia authoring, video
editing, video and multimedia production and corporate training.
Historically, substantially all of the Company's products have been
designed for and sold to users of Macintosh computer products (the "Macintosh")
manufactured by Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") as Apple products have been the
preferred platform in the Company's target markets. During fiscal 1998, the
Company added cross platform (Windows and Macintosh) capabilities to many of the
Company's products in order to market these products to users of the Windows
operating system. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, 27% of unit sales were
made to Macintosh-only users, 43% were made to Windows-only users, and 30% were
made to cross-platform users. This compares to 23% of unit sales to
Macintosh-only users, 39% of unit sales to Windows-only users and 38% of unit
sales to cross-platform users in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company has incurred substantial operating losses. During fiscal 1997 and 1998,
management implemented a number of actions to address its cash flow and
operating issues including; refocusing its efforts on providing solutions for
digital video customers; discontinuing sales of mass market and other low value
added products; divesting a number of businesses and product lines, including
most recently the agreement for the sale and related license of significant
assets of its monitor business to Korea Data Systems America, Inc. ("KDS");
significantly reducing expenses and headcount; and reducing its lease
obligations given its reduced occupancy
-11-
<PAGE>
requirements. There can be no assurance that these measures will be
sufficient to allow the Company to achieve profitability. As of December 31,
1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2.5 million. The Company
intends to finance its working capital needs through cash generated by
operations and borrowings under a working capital line of credit with Silicon
Valley Bank. The Company may need to further reduce its operating expenses or
seek additional sources of working capital if software product sales do not
increase at the rate assumed in the Company's current operating plans.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain
operational data as a percentage of net sales (may not add due to rounding).

NET SALES
The Company's total net sales decreased 54.2% to $2.5 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $5.5 million for the same quarter in fiscal
1998. The decline is due primarily to the following factors: the Company's
decision to refocus its efforts on its digital video software product lines
while discontinuing the development of its color publishing, accelerated color
graphics products and its DOS on Mac products; a decline in the sales of its
color publishing products due to the agreement for the license of significant
assets of its monitor business to KDS; and reduced commissions paid by its
international distributors due to the Company's change in product focus.
As a result of the KDS transaction, the Company anticipates
significantly lower overall net sales in the immediate future as compared to net
sales in fiscal 1998. Future sales will be predominately attributable to sales
of software products since the Company's digital video product line is primarily
software. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased $1.3 million
from the $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 ended September 30,
1998. Shipments of digital video products were $2.4 million, an increase of 233%
from the previous quarter. There can be no assurance that sales of these
software products will continue to increase or that they will increase to a
sufficient extent to offset the anticipated decline in hardware sales. Revenue
recognition related to software product sales is as follows: Revenue from the
sale of software, net of estimated returns, is recognized upon either shipment
of the physical product or delivery of electronic product, at which time,
collectibility is probable and the Company has no remaining obligations.
Sales to Ingram Micro, Truevision and Canon U.S.A., Inc. accounted for
27.9%, 16.5% and 12.8% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
respectively. For the corresponding period of fiscal 1998, the same customers
accounted for 61.0%, 0.0% and 0.0% of the Company's net sales.

GROSS PROFIT
The Company's gross profit margin was 60.8% and 35.1% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 48.7% for the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1999. The increase in gross profit margin for the three month period
ended December 31, 1998 was due primarily to increased sales of higher gross
margin digital video software products.
The Company anticipates the gross profit margins will be higher in the
future due to the Company's decision to refocus its business on higher margin
digital video software products. Additionally, the Company is taking further
steps to reduce product costs and control expenses. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company's gross margins will improve or remain at current
levels.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses increased to $0.7 million or 26.6% of
net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $0.5 million or 8.9% of net
sales in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. Included in the research and
development expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 are reimbursements for
the outplacement of some of the Company's engineers in October 1997. Excluding
these funds, the research and development expenses would have been $0.8 million
or 15.2% of net sales. The Company expects that decreases in its research and
development expenses due to the KDS transaction will be offset by increases in
the expenses for the digital video product line and therefore, expects to devote
approximately $3.0 million to research and development during the entire fiscal
1999.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million
or 64.7% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $2.1 million or
37.8% of net sales in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company decreased its
selling, general and administrative expenses primarily by reducing expenses
related to headcount resulting from the efforts to refocus its business. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
percentage of sales is due to the decrease in net sales from the first quarter
of fiscal 1998. Although the Company expects selling, general and administrative
expenses to increase gradually over time, the Company does not expect them to
approach historical levels in absolute amount.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other income was $3.6 million and $1.1 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Other income in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 resulted from the release of $2.2 million from escrow
related to the 1996 divestiture of the Color Server Group, $1.0 million in
income from KDS and $0.4 million for the license of intellectual property
unrelated to the digital video business. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
other income resulted from the sale of 40,000 shares of Splash Common Stock.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense declined to $54,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 from $173,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. This decrease was due to
lower average borrowings primarily as a result of the repayment of the working
capital line of credit to IBM Credit offset by amounts outstanding under Silicon
Valley Bank working capital line of credit.
NET PROFIT
As a result of the above factors, the Company had a net income of $2.8
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to a net income of $0.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $1.6 million at
December 31, 1998, as compared with $0.6 million for the same quarter in fiscal
1998. Approximately $0.1 million of the $1.6 million of cash and cash
equivalents available at December 31, 1998 was restricted under a letter of
credit.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company's total assets had increased to
$6.9 million from $6.6 million on September 30, 1998. However, the Company had a
working capital deficit of $2.5 million. The increase in the Company's cash and
cash equivalents, and total assets during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was
primarily attributable to funds received from the Splash escrow and income from
the license agreement with KDS which was offset by funding of operating losses
of the Company.
Under the license and asset transfer agreement with KDS, Radius has
transferred (by licensing or by assignment if KDS elects to close the asset
transfer agreement) its Radius, Supermac, PressView and certain other trademarks
to KDS and has licensed certain intellectual property pertaining to PressView
and PrecisionView monitors. The expected value of the transaction is $6.2
million which is payable in installments. As of December 31, 1998, $2.25 million
was paid under the amended license and $0.5 million under the original license
in June 1998. The remaining amount is payable in installments through October
1999. KDS' performance is guaranteed by a Korean corporation and its US
affiliate. The asset transfer agreement is expected to close by June 1999, if
contingencies are satisfied. These installment payment obligations have been
pledged to secure a $4.2 million line of credit from Silicon Valley Bank. There
can be no assurance that the closing will occur or that installment payments
under the license will be timely made.
The Company believes that the cash flows from KDS, results of
operations and other sources of financing will be sufficient to fund operations
for at least the remainder of this fiscal year. However, there can be no
assurances that the sale of software products will continue to increase to a
sufficient extent to offset the loss of revenues and gross margin from the
monitor business or that the installment payments will be timely made. The
Company may need to further reduce its operating expenses or seek additional
sources of working capital if software product sales do not increase at the rate
assumed in the Company's current operating plans. The Company and its management
believes that it can further reduce such operating expenses, if necessary, and
that other sources of financing will be available.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity currently are cash
generated by operations, if any, and up to $4.2 million working capital line of
credit provided by Silicon Valley Bank which is secured by the installment
payment obligations of the KDS transaction. Under the terms of the $4.2 million
working capital line of credit, the amount available to borrow will be decreased
by eighty percent of the payments made by KDS, since the borrowing base under
the working capital line of credit is eighty percent of the unpaid balance of
KDS' installment obligations. As the borrowing base is dependent on the
continued payment of monthly installments, there can be no assurance that it
will be sufficient to allow the Company to borrow up to the full amount of the
working capital line of credit. As of December 31, 1998, the amount available to
borrow was $2.8 million. Interest is paid at the rate of 1.25% per month of 125%
of the average daily outstanding balance of the loan. In addition, a one time
administrative fee of 0.50% of 125% of each advance amount is also paid to
Silicon Valley Bank. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had borrowed $0.2
million against the working capital line of credit. With the proceeds from the
release of the $2.2 million from the escrow related to the divestiture of the
Color Server Group, the Company repaid all outstanding debt to Silicon Valley
Bank in January, 1999. However, the associated working capital line of credit
remains in effect.
The Company anticipates that it will not have significant cash
available for expenditures other than for its ordinary course of business
operating expenses. Although the Company has achieved current trade terms with
its critical vendors, certain suppliers may put the Company on a cash or prepay
basis and/or require the Company to provide security for their risk in procuring
components or reserving manufacturing time. In the event the Company were unable
to generate sufficient net sales or if the Company incurs unforeseen operating
expenses, it may not be able to meet its operating expenses without additional
financing.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A number of uncertainties exist that could affect the Company's future
operating results, including, without limitation, the following factors: the
Company's ability to achieve profitability; receipt of timely installment
payments from KDS; the Company's ability to repay any amounts it may borrow from
Silicon Valley Bank; the Company's ability to successfully conclude its
litigation with IE and Splash shareholders; the success of the Company's digital
video software products on which the Company expects to be substantially
dependent; the success of the Apple Macintosh computer line and operating
system, the success of Apple, as well as the Company's ability to compete
successfully with Apple in its markets, including the non linear digital video
editing software market; the success of Apple's Quicktime technology for
Windows; favorable licensing terms for Quicktime from Apple; the Company's
ability to successfully develop, introduce and market new software products,
including products for the Windows operating system, to keep pace with
technological innovation, particularly in light of its limited financial
resources; the Company's ability to compete in the digital video software
market, including with Apple; the ability of the Company's manufacturers and
suppliers to deliver components and manufacture the Company's products; the
Company's ability to achieve Year 2000 readiness in our business operations and
our dealings with significant third parties; the Company's reliance on
international sales and its new distributor arrangements with respect to Europe
and Japan; the Company's ability to attract and retain its key personnel; and
the risk factors identified from the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The year 2000 Issue ("Y2K Issue") is the result of computer programs
being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.
Any of the Company's computer programs or hardware that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities. The Company's plan to resolve the Y2K Issue involves the following
four phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. To date, the
Company has fully completed its assessment of all internal systems and products
that could be significantly affected. The assessment of risks associated with
suppliers and distributors is not yet complete.
Based on recent assessments of its information management and
accounting systems, the Company has determined that it will be required to
modify or replace significant portions of its software and certain hardware so
that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The
Company presently believes that with such modifications, the Y2K Issue can be
mitigated without a material adverse impact on the Company. However, if such
modifications and replacements are not timely made, the Y2K Issue could have a
material impact on the operations of the Company. None of these systems
interoperate directly with the systems of suppliers or distributors.
Based on a review of its product line, the Company has determined that
primarily all of the products it has sold and will continue to sell do not
require remediation to be Year 2000 compliant, as primarily all operate in
conjunction with the MacOS. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that the
Y2K Issue presents a material risk with respect to the Company's products.
The Company is approximately 50% through the remediation phase with
respect to its information management and accounting systems and expects to
complete software and hardware replacement no later than September 30, 1999.
Once the software and hardware is replaced for a system, the Company begins
testing and implementation. These phases run concurrently for different systems.
The Company has completed 50% of its testing. Completion of the testing phase
for all significant software systems was completed as of January 31, 1999, with
all remediated systems to be fully tested and implemented by December 31, 1999.
None of the Company systems interface directly with significant third
party suppliers. The Company is starting the process of working with third party
suppliers and distributors to ensure that any Company systems that could
interface directly with third parties are Year 2000 compliant by December 31,
1999. Remediation and testing of all significant systems is expected no later
than December 31, 1999. The Company believes that its key suppliers, two of whom
are sole sources, are in the process of making their billing systems Year 2000
compliant. The Company is not aware of any supplier or distributor with a Y2K
Issue that would materially impact the Company's results of operations,
liquidity, or
-15-
<PAGE>
capital resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that such
suppliers and distributors will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of
suppliers and distributors to complete their Year 2000 resolution process in
a timely fashion could materially impact the Company. There are no vendors
that could not be replaced in a reasonable period of time, except for
transport vendors. The failure of Fedex, UPS, Airborne and the U.S. Mail
would impact direct sales. The effect of this occurrence is not determinable.
The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to
reprogram, or replace, test, and implement the software and operating equipment
for Year 2000 compliance. The total future cost of the Year 2000 compliance is
estimated at $200,000 to $600,000 and is being funded through net cash flows or
capital leases. Some of these expenditures were likely to have been made in the
ordinary course of upgrading and replacing obsolete systems without regard to
the Y2K Issue. Through the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company has
incurred less than $100,000 related to all phases of the Year 2000 project and
$100,000 has been budgeted for fiscal 1999, under the assumption that most of
the new system cost will be funded via leasing.
Management of the Company believes it has an effective program in place
to resolve those aspects of the Y2K Issue within its control in a timely manner.
As noted above, the Company has not completed all necessary phases of the Year
2000 program. In the event that the Company does not complete these phases, the
Company would be unable in some degree to take customer orders, manufacture and
ship products, invoice customers and collect payments. In addition, disruptions
in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues could also materially
adversely affect the Company. The Company could be subject to litigation for
computer systems product failure, for example, equipment shutdown or failure to
properly date business records. Furthermore, although management is not aware of
any Y2K Issue with products sold, there can be no assurance that the use of such
products alone or in conjunction with other products will not malfunction and
expose the Company to liability. The amount of potential liability and lost
revenue associated with these risks cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The Company has contingency plans for certain critical applications and
is working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among
other actions, manual workarounds, increasing inventories, and adjusting
staffing strategies. All of the Company's production, shipping, purchasing,
billing and inventory functions could be accomplished via outsource vendors that
are currently readily available, although there can be no assurance that such
vendors will be available on reasonable terms as the millennium approaches.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements - Commitments and Contingencies.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Possible Delisting from Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had assets of $6.9 million and
total liabilities of $9.1 million and therefore had net tangible assets of $(2.2
million). In order for the Company's Common Stock to continue to be listed on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company will be required to maintain net
tangible assets of at least $2.0 million, or must have net income in its most
recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three prior fiscal years. The
Company had net income in fiscal years 1997 and 1998. However, in the event that
the Company does not increase its net tangible assets to greater than $2.0
million, the Company's Common Stock would be subject to delisting if it also
failed to achieve net income for its current fiscal year.

2. PREMISES.
2.1 LETTING. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby
leases from Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all
of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless
otherwise provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this Lease, or
that may have been used in calculating rental, is an approximation which the
Parties agree is reasonable and the rental based thereon is not subject to
revision whether or not the actual size is more or less.
2.2 CONDITION. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee broom
clean and free of debris on the Commencement Date or the Early Possession
Date, whichever first occurs ("START DATE"), and, so long as the required
service contracts described in Paragraph 7.1(b) below are obtained by Lessee
within thirty (30) days following the Start Date, warrants that the existing
electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, lighting, heating, ventilating and air
conditioning systems ("HVAC"), loading doors, if any, and all other such
elements in the Premises, other than those constructed by Lessee, shall be in
good operating condition on said date and that the structural elements of the
roof, bearing walls and foundation of any buildings on the Premises (the
"BUILDING") shall be free of material defects. If a non-compliance with said
warranty exists as of the Start Date, Lessor shall, as Lessor's sole
obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from the Lessee setting forth
with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify same
at Lessor's expense. If, after the Start Date, Lessee does not give Lessor
written notice of any non-compliance with this warranty within: (i) one year
as to the surface of the roof and the structural portions of the roof,
foundations and bearing walls, (ii) six (6) months as to the HVAC systems,
(iii) thirty (30) days as to the remaining systems and other elements of the
Building, correction of such non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee
at Lessee's sole cost and expense.
2.3 COMPLIANCE. Lessor warrants that the improvements on the
Premises comply with all applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of
record, building codes, regulations and ordinances ("APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS") in effect on the Start Date. Said warranty does not apply to
the use to which Lessee will put the Premises or to any Alterations or
Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a)) made or to be made by
Lessee. NOTE: Lessee is responsible for determining whether or not the zoning
is appropriate for Lessee's intended use, and acknowledges that past uses of
the Premises may no longer be allowed. If the Premises do not comply with
said warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided, promptly after
receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the
nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor's
expense. If Lessee does not give Lessor written notice of a non-compliance
with this warranty within six (6) months following the Start Date, correction
of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole
cost and expense. If the Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed (as
opposed to being in existence at the Start Date, which is addressed in
Paragraph 6.2(e) below) so as to require during the term of this Lease the
construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Building, the
remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other
physical modification of the Building ("CAPITAL EXPENDITURE"), Lessor and
Lessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows:
PAGE 1 Initials MH EO
------ -----
- -C-1997 - AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION FORM 204N-R-2/97
<PAGE>
(a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital
Expenditures are required as a result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in general, Lessee shall
be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last two (2) years of this Lease
and the cost thereof exceeds six (6) months' Base Rent, Lessee may instead
terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, within ten
(10) days after receipt of Lessee's termination notice that Lessor has
elected to pay for the difference between the actual cost thereof and the
amount equal to six (6) months' Base Rent. If Lessee elects termination,
Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires such
Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor written notice specifying a
termination date at least ninety (90) days thereafter. Such termination date
shall, however, in no event be earlier than the last day that Lessee could
legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital Expenditure.
(b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the
specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally
mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the
obligation to pay for such costs pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph
7.1(c); provided, however, that if such Capital Expenditure is required
during the last two years of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably determines
that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall
have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written
notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies Lessor, in writing, within ten (10)
days after receipt of Lessor's termination notice that Lessee will pay for
such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate, and fails to
tender its share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such
funds and deduct same, with Interest, from Rent until Lessor's share of such
costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance Lessor's share, or
if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this Lease is
not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice
to Lessor.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning
Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected,
and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead
triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use,
change in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that
event, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, and Lessee
shall not have any right to terminate this Lease.
2.4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been
advised by Lessor and/or Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the
condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC
and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance
with Applicable Requirements), and their suitability for Lessee's intended
use, (b) Lessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with
reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same
relate to its occupancy of the Premises, and (c) neither Lessor, Lessor's
agents, nor any Broker has made any oral or written representations or
warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this
Lease. In addition, Lessor acknowledges that: (a) Broker has made no
representations, promises or warranties concerning Lessee's ability to honor
the Lease or suitability to occupy the Premises, and (b) it is Lessor's sole
responsibility to investigate the financial capability and/or suitability of
all proposed tenants.
2.5 LESSEE AS PRIOR OWNER/OCCUPANT. The warranties made by Lessor in
Paragraph 2 shall be of no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start
Date Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises. In such event, Lessee
shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work.
3. TERM.
3.1 TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term
of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2 EARLY POSSESSION. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall
be abated for the period of such early possession. All other terms of this Lease
(including but not limited to the obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and
insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall, however, be in effect
during such period. Any such early possession shall not affect the Expiration
Date.
3.3 DELAY IN POSSESSION. Lessor agrees to use its best
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to
Lessee by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts, Lessor is unable
to deliver possession as agreed, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability
therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease. Lessee
shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations
until it receives possession of the Premises. If possession is not delivered
within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its
option, by notice in writing within ten (10) days after the end of such sixty
(60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be
discharged from all obligations hereunder. If such written notice is not
received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel
shall terminate. Except as otherwise provided, if possession is not tendered
to Lessee by the Start Date and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as
aforesaid, any period of rent abatement that Lessee would otherwise have
enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a
period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms
hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of
Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not delivered within four (4) months
after the Commencement Date, this Lease shall terminate unless other
agreements are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing.
3.4 LESSEE COMPLIANCE. Lessor shall not be required to tender
possession of the Premises to Lessee until Lessee complies with its
obligation to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5). Pending delivery
of such evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations
under this Lease from and after the Start Date, including the payment of
Rent, notwithstanding Lessor's election to withhold possession pending
receipt of such evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee is required to
perform any other conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the
Start Date shall occur but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such
conditions are satisfied.
4. RENT.
4.1 RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under
the terms of this Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent
("RENT").
4.2 PAYMENT. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by
Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction
(except as specifically permitted in this Lease), on or before the day on
which it is due. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for
less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual
number of days of said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its
address stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from
time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less than
the amount then due shall not be a waiver of Lessor's rights to the balance
of such Rent, regardless of Lessor's endorsement of any check so stating.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution
hereof the Security Deposit as security for Lessee's faithful performance of
its obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails to pay Rent, or otherwise
Defaults under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion
of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to
reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage
which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies
all or any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10)
days after written request therefor deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to
restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If
the Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon
written request from Lessor, deposit additional moneys with Lessor so that
the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same
proportion to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to
the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a
material change in the business of Lessee or to accommodate a sublessee or
assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit to the
extent necessary, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, to account for any
increased wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If
a change in control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following such
change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor's reasonable judgment,
significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies with
Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a
commercially reasonable level based on said change in financial condition.
Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its
general accounts. Within fourteen (14) days after the expiration or
termination of this Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security Deposit
only to unpaid Rent, and otherwise within thirty (30) days after the Premises
have been vacated pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(c) below, Lessor shall return
that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No part
of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear
interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease.

6. USE.
6.1 USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the
Agreed Use, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto,
and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the
Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance,
or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to neighboring
properties. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to
any written request for a modification of the Agreed Use, so long as the same
will not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises
or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, is not significantly more
burdensome to the Premises. If Lessor elects to withhold consent, Lessor
shall within five (5) business days after such request give written
notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of Lessor's
objections to the change in use.
6.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
(a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste
whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release,
either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the
Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety
or welfare, the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by
any governmental authority, or (iii) a basis for potential liability of
Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute
or common law theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited
to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products,
by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in
or on the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances
without the express prior written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at
Lessee's expense) with all Applicable Requirements. "REPORTABLE USE" shall
mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank,
(ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of
a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a
report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with,
any governmental authority, and/or (iii) the presence at the Premises of a
Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Requirements
requires that a notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises
or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may use any
ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used in the normal
course of the Agreed Use, so long as such use is in compliance with all
Applicable Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the
Premises or neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or
damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may
condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional
assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the
public, the Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination,
injury and/or liability, including, but not limited to, the installation (and
removal on or before Lease expiration or termination) of protective
modifications (such as concrete encasements) and/or increasing the Security
Deposit.
(b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable
cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on,
under or about the Premises, other than as previously consented to by Lessor,
Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to Lessor, and
provide Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other
documentation which it has concerning the presence of such Hazardous
Substance.
(c) LESSEE REMEDIATION. Lessee shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about the
Premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system) and shall
promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial action
reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the
cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or
monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or
materially contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving any
Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises during the term of this Lease,
by or for Lessee, or any third party.
(d) LESSEE INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, defend
and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any,
harmless from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages,
liabilities, judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and
consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought
onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (provided, however,
that Lessee shall have no liability under this Lease with respect to
underground migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from
adjacent properties). Lessee's obligations shall include, but not be limited
to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the
environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation,
removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease. NO TERMINATION, CANCELLATION OR
RELEASE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY LESSOR AND LESSEE SHALL RELEASE LESSEE FROM
ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, UNLESS
SPECIFICALLY SO AGREED BY LESSOR IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF SUCH AGREEMENT.
(e) LESSOR INDEMNIFICATION. Lessor and its successors and
assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Lessee, its employees and
lenders, harmless from and against any and all environmental damages,
including the cost of remediation, which existed as a result of Hazardous
Substances on the Premises prior to the Start Date or which are caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents or employees.
Lessor's obligations, as and when required by the Applicable Requirements,
shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of investigation, removal,
remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Lease.
(f) INVESTIGATIONS AND REMEDIATIONS. Lessor shall retain the
responsibility and pay for any investigations or remediation measures
required by governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the
existence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to the Start Date,
unless such remediation measure is required as a result of Lessee's use
(including "Alterations", as defined in paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the
Premises, in which event Lessee shall be responsible for such payment.
Lessee shall cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor,
including allowing Lessor and Lessor's agents to have reasonable access to
the Premises at reasonable times in order to carry out Lessor's investigative
and remedial responsibilities.
(g) LESSOR TERMINATION OPTION. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs during the term of this Lease, unless Lessee is legally
responsible therefor (in which case Lessee shall make the investigation and
remediation thereof required by the Applicable Requirements and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under
Paragraph 6.2c(d) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor's option, either
(i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if
required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated
cost to remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly
Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee,
within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the
occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition, of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of
such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give a termination notice, Lessee
may, within ten (10) days thereafter, give written notice to Lessor of
Lessee's commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the remediation of
such Hazardous Substance Condition exceeds an amount equal to twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee
shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within
thirty (30) days following such commitment. In such event, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such
remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required
funds or assurance thereof within the time provided, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
6.3 LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense,
fully, diligently and in a timely manner, materially comply with all
Applicable Requirements, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance
underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's engineers
and/or consultants which relate in any manner to the Premises, without regard
to whether said requirements are now in effect or become effective after the
Start Date. Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's
written request, provide Lessor with copies of all permits and other
documents, and other information evidencing Lessee's compliance with any
Applicable Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon
receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of
any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or
report pertaining to or involving the failure of Lessee or the Premises to
comply with any Applicable Requirements.
6.4 INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE. Lessor and Lessor's "Lender" (as
defined in Paragraph 30 below) and consultants shall have the right to enter
into Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at
reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises
and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease. The cost of any such
inspections shall be paid by Lessor, unless a violation of Applicable
Requirements, or a contamination is found to exist or be imminent, or the
inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority. In such case,
Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor for the cost of such inspections, so
long as such inspection is reasonably related to the violation or contamination.

(Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 6.3 (Lessee's Compliance with Applicable
Requirements), 7.2 (Lessor's Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14
(Condemnation), Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, keep the Premises,
Utility Installations, and Alterations in good order, condition and repair
(whether or not the portion of the Premises requiring repairs, or the means
of repairing the same, are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and
whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use,
any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises),
including, but not limited to, all equipment or facilities, such as plumbing,
heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, lighting facilities,
boilers, pressure vessels, fire protection system, fixtures, walls (interior
and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roofs, floors, windows, doors, plate
glass, skylights, landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences, retaining
walls, signs, sidewalks and parkways located in, on, or adjacent to the
Premises. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good order, condition and
repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices, specifically
including the procurement and maintenance of the service contracts required
by Paragraph 7.1(b) below. Lessee's obligations shall include restorations,
replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all
improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of
repair. Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, keep the exterior
appearance of the Building in a first-class condition consistent with the
exterior appearance of other similar facilities of comparable age and size in
the vicinity, including, when necessary, the exterior repainting of the
Building.
(b) SERVICE CONTRACTS. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole
expense, procure and maintain contracts, with copies to Lessor, in customary
form and substance for, and with contractors specializing and experienced in
the maintenance of the following equipment and improvements, if any, if and
when installed on the Premises: (i) HVAC equipment, (ii) boiler, and pressure
vessels, (iii) fire extinguishing systems, including fire alarm and/or smoke
detection, (iv) landscaping and irrigation systems, (v) roof covering and
drains, (vi) driveways and parking lots, (vii) clarifiers (viii) basic
utility feed to the perimeter of the Building, and (ix) any other equipment,
if reasonably required by Lessor.
(c) REPLACEMENT. Subject to Lessee's indemnification of
Lessor as set forth in Paragraph 8.7 below, and without relieving Lessee of
liability resulting from Lessee's failure to exercise and perform good
maintenance practices, if the Basic Elements described in Paragraph 7.1(b)
cannot be repaired other than at a cost which is in excess of 50% of the cost
of replacing such Basic Elements, then such Basic Elements shall be replaced
by Lessor, and the cost thereof shall be prorated between the Parties and
Lessee shall only be obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the
term of this Lease, on the date on which Base Rent is due, an amount equal to
the product of multiplying the cost of such replacement by a fraction, the
numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the number of
months of the useful life of such replacement as such useful life is
specified pursuant to Federal income tax regulations or guidelines for
depreciation thereof (including interest on the unamortized balance as is
then commercially reasonable in the judgment of Lessor's accountants), with
Lessee reserving the right to prepay its obligation at any time.
7.2 LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 9 (Damage or Destruction) and 14
(Condemnation), it is intended by the Parties hereto that Lessor have no
obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain the Premises, or
the equipment therein, all of which obligations are intended to be that of
the Lessee. It is the intention of the Parties that the terms of this Lease
govern the respective obligations of the Parties as to maintenance and repair
of the Premises, and they expressly waive the benefit of any statute now or
hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of this
Lease.
7.3 UTILITY INSTALLATIONS; TRADE FIXTURES; ALTERATIONS.
(a) DEFINITIONS; CONSENT REQUIRED. The term "UTILITY
INSTALLATIONS" refers to all floor and window coverings, air lines, power
panels, electrical distribution, security and fire protection systems,
communication systems, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and
fencing in or on the Premises. The term "TRADE FIXTURES" shall mean Lessee's
machinery and equipment that can be removed without doing material damage to
the Premises. The term "ALTERATIONS" shall mean any modification of the
improvements, other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures, whether by
addition or deletion. "LESSEE OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS"
are defined as Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that
are not yet owned by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not
make any Alterations or Utility Installations to the Premises without
Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make non-structural
Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof)
without such consent but upon notice to Lessor, as long as they are not
visible from the outside, do not involve puncturing, relocating or removing
the roof or any existing walls, and the cumulative cost thereof during this
Lease as extended does not exceed $50,000 in the aggregate or $10,000 in any
one year.
(b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. Consent shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee's: (i) acquiring all applicable governmental
permits, (ii) furnishing Lessor with copies of both the permits and the plans
and specifications prior to commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with
all conditions of said permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and
expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility Installations shall be performed
in a workmanlike manner with good and sufficient materials. Lessee shall
promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications.
For work which costs an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent, or
$10,000, Lessor may condition its consent upon Lessee providing a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost
of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee's posting an
additional Security Deposit with Lessor.
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. 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 on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by
any mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest
therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior
to the commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall
contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at
its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against
the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be
rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof. If Lessor shall require,
Lessee shall furnish a surety bond in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor
against liability for the same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such
action, Lessee shall pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs.
7.4 OWNERSHIP; REMOVAL; SURRENDER; AND RESTORATION.
(a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require removal or
elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations and Utility
Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee, but considered a
part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time, elect in writing to be the owner
of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per Paragraph 7.4(b) hereof, all
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or
termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and be surrendered by
Lessee with the Premises.
(b) REMOVAL. By delivery to Lessee of written notice from
Lessor not earlier than ninety (90) and not later than thirty (30) days prior
to the end of the term of this Lease, Lessor may require that any or all
Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the
expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at
any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility
Installations made without the required consent.
(c) SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the
Premises by the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date, with all of
the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of debris,
and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted. "Ordinary wear and tear" shall not include any damage or
deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice.
Lessee shall repair any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or
removal of Trade Fixtures, Lessee Owned Alterations and/or Utility
Installations, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any
storage tank installed by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or
remediation of any soil, material or groundwater contaminated by Lessee.
Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by
Lessee. The failure by Lessee to timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this
Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express written consent of Lessor shall
constitute a holdover under the provisions of Paragraph 26 below.

8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.
8.1 PAYMENT FOR INSURANCE. Lessee shall pay for all insurance
required under Paragraph 8 except to the extent of the cost attributable to
liability insurance carried by Lessor under Paragraph 8.2(b) in excess of
$2,000,000 per occurrence. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to or
extending beyond the Lease term shall be prorated to correspond to the Lease
term. Payment shall be made by Lessee to Lessor within ten (10) days following
receipt of an invoice.
8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE.
(a) CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a
Commercial General Liability Policy of Insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor
against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon
or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises
and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence
basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence with an "ADDITIONAL INSURED-MANAGERS OR LESSORS OF PREMISES
ENDORSEMENT" and contain the "AMENDMENT OF THE POLLUTION EXCLUSION ENDORSEMENT"
for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The Policy shall
not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease
as an "insured contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations
under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All
insurance carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any
similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance only.
(b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall maintain liability
insurance as described in Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu
of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be
named as an additional insured therein.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE -- BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.
(a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Insuring Party shall obtain
and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable
to Lessor, any groundlessor, and to any Lender(s) insuring loss or damage to the
Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full replacement
cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount
required by any Lenders, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable
and available insurable value thereof. If Lessor is the Insuring Party,
however, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and
Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4 rather
than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, such
policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or
damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required by a
Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any
Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or
replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss.
Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu
of any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection
causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor
of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located. If
such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not
exceed $1,000 per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible
amount in the event of an Insured Loss.
(b) RENTAL VALUE. The Insuring Party shall obtain and keep in
force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor and
any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one (1) year. Said insurance
shall provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured
loss, the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the
date of the completion of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for
one full year's loss of Rent from the date of any such loss. Said insurance
shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause,
and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected
Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee
shall be liable for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
(c) ADJACENT PREMISES. If the Premises are part of a larger
building, or of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to the
Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property
insurance of such building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's
acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
8.4 LESSEE'S PROPERTY/BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE.
(a) PROPERTY DAMAGE. Lessee shall obtain and maintain insurance
coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Such insurance shall be full replacement
cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The
proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement of
personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such
insurance is in force.
(b) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. Lessee shall obtain and maintain
loss of income and extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse
Lessee for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils
commonly insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or
attributable to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such
perils.
(c) NO REPRESENTATION OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Lessor makes no
representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified
herein are adequate to cover Lessee's property, business operations or
obligations under this Lease.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required herein shall be by
companies duly licensed or admitted to transact business in the state where
the Premises are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General
Policyholders Rating" of at least B+, V, as set forth in the most current
issue of "Best's Insurance Guide", or such other rating as may be required by
a Lender. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which
invalidates the required insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the
Start Date, deliver to Lessor certified copies of policies of such insurance
or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required
insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to 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 evidence of renewals or "insurance binders" evidencing renewal
thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to
Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such
policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of the
remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail
to procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other
Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage
to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured
against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance
carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against
Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not
invalidated thereby.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the
Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and
Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages,
liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and/or
liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or
occupancy of the Premises by Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought
against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon
notice 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 defended or indemnified.
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable
for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any
other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused
by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers,
wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor.
Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under
no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of
income or profit therefrom.
9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
9.1 DEFINITIONS.
(a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction
to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or
less from the date of the damage or destruction.
PAGE 5 Initials MH EO
------ -----
FORM 204N-R-2/97
<PAGE>
Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of
the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in six (6)
months or less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify
Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or
destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be
covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any
deductible amounts or coverage limits involved.
(d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild
the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and
without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the occurrence or
discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises.
9.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE -- INSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage
that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair
such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at
Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total
cost to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall
make any applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable
basis for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required
insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to
effect such repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage
in proceeds (except as to the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as
and when required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, such
shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the
improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially
reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the
shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the
Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or
adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written
notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds
or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, the party
responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably
possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds
or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written
notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to: (i) make such
restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any
shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect; or have this Lease terminate thirty (30) days thereafter.
Lessee shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any funds contributed by
Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due
to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding
that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such
insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.
9.3 PARTIAL DAMAGE -- UNINSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage
that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act
of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense),
Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within
thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such
damage. Such termination shall be effective sixty (60) days following the date
of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee
shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of the termination
notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the
repair of such damage without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide
Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days
after making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as
reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not
make the required commitment, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
specified in the termination notice.
9.4 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
if a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate sixty (60)
days following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to
recover Lessor's damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.
9.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six
(6) months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds
one (1) month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may
terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of
occurrence of such damage by giving a written termination notice to Lessee
within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable
option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may
preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option and (b) providing Lessor
with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof)
needed to make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is
ten days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to
terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such
option expires. If Lessee duly exercises such option during such period and
provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover any
shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's commercially
reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to
exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period,
then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the termination
notice and Lessee's option shall be extinguished.
9.6 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) ABATEMENT. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or
Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which
Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for
the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage
shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the
Premises is impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental
Value insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be
performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such damage,
destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.
(b) REMEDIES. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or
restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful
way, such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation
shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such
repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of
which Lessee has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease
on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice.
If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced
within thirty (30) days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
specified in said notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within
said thirty (30) days, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
"COMMENCE" shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the
preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the
Premises, whichever first occurs.
9.7 TERMINATION -- ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this
Lease pursuant to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment
shall be made concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments
made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so
much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to
be, used by Lessor.
9.8 WAIVE STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this
Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises
with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of
any present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAXES." As used herein, the term
"REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall include any form of assessment; real estate,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other
than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or
license fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of
Lessor in the Premises, Lessor's right to other income therefrom, and/or
Lessor's business of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect
power to tax and where the funds are generated
PAGE 6 Initials MH EO
------ -----
FORM 204N-R-2/97
<PAGE>
with reference to the Building address and where the proceeds so generated are
to be applied by the city, county or other local taxing authority of a
jurisdiction within which the Premises are located. The term "REAL PROPERTY
TAXES" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any
increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring during the term of this
Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the Premises.
10.2
(a) PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessee shall pay the Real Property
Taxes applicable to the Premises during the term of this Lease. Subject to
Paragraph 10.2(b), all such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days
prior to any delinquency date. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with
satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes
shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration or
termination of this Lease, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be prorated to
cover only that portion of the tax bill applicable to the period that this
Lease is in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment.
If Lessee shall fail to pay any required Real Property Taxes, Lessor shall
have the right to pay the same, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor therefor
upon demand.
(b) ADVANCE PAYMENT. In the event Lessee incurs a late charge
on any Rent payment, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, estimate the current
Real Property Taxes, and require that such taxes be paid in advance to Lessor
by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal to the installment due, at
least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable delinquency date, or (ii)
monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. If Lessor elects to
require payment monthly in advance, the monthly payment shall be an amount
equal to the amount of the estimated installment of taxes divided by the
number of months remaining before the month in which said installment becomes
delinquent. When the actual amount of the applicable tax bill is known, the
amount of such equal monthly advance payments shall be adjusted as required
to provide the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount
collected by Lessor is insufficient to pay such Real Property Taxes when due,
Lessee shall pay Lessor, upon demand, such additional sums as are necessary
to pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this Paragraph may
be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In
the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its obligations under
this Lease, then any balance of funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of
this Paragraph may at the option of Lessor, be treated as an additional
Security Deposit.
10.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately
assessed, Lessee's 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 conclusively determined by Lessor from
the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such
other information as may be reasonably available.
10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay, prior to
delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned
Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment
and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause such
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 Lessor the taxes attributable to
Lessee's property within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be
determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, "ASSIGN OR ASSIGNMENT")
or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at
Lessor's option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or
a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If
Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a
noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon
thirty (30) days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the
event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any
option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar
adjustment to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price previously in
effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during
the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to One Hundred Ten Percent
(110%) of the scheduled adjusted rent.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by
Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption
by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease,
(ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any
other obligations to be performed by Lessee.
(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval
of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a
waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for Lessee's
Default or Breach.
(c) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall
not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor
may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else
responsible for the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease,
including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's
remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor,
or any security held by Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting
shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not
limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if
any, together with a fee of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current
monthly Base Rent applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the
subject of the proposed assignment or sublease, whichever is greater, as
consideration for Lessor's considering and processing said request. Lessee
agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or
documentation as may be reasonably requested.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by
reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed
to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term,
covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by
Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such
obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented to in
writing.
12.3 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all
or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases
under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect
such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease;
provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of
Lessee's obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall not, by
reason of the foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of
the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such
sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such
sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice
PAGE 7 Initials MH EO
------ -----
FORM 204N-R-2/97
<PAGE>
from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due
under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and
shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to
whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the
contrary.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its
option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall
undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches
of such sublessor.
(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part
of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or
Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the
Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice.
The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against
Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. A "DEFAULT" is defined as a failure by the
Lessee to comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or
rules under this Lease. A "BREACH" is defined as the occurrence of one or more
of the following Defaults, and the failure of Lessee to cure such Default within
any applicable grace period:
(a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the
Premises without providing a commercially reasonable level of security, or where
the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized
as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable assurances to minimize
potential vandalism.
(b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any
Security Deposit required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or
to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable evidence of insurance or
surety bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or
threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of three
(3) business days following written notice to Lessee.
(c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written
evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts,
(iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) a
Tenancy Statement, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence concerning
any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 42
(easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may
reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such
failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice to
Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof,
other than those described in subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where
such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be
deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) becoming a "DEBTOR" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor
statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the
same is dismissed within sixty (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 thirty (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 thirty (30) days;
provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph (e)
is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or
effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or
of any Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false.
(g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a
Guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance
with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or
the subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the
guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an
anticipatory basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following
written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or
security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee,
equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the
Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.
13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative
duties or obligations, within ten (10) days after written notice (or in case
of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such
duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the
obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental
licenses, permits or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such
performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by Lessee upon receipt of
invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored
by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option, may require all
future payments to be made by Lessee to be by cashier's check. In the event
of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand, and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be
entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at
the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee
proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term
after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount
necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by
the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, 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 attorneys' fees, and that portion of any leasing
commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the
unexpired term of the Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the
time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages
caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to
recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained
through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the
right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are
recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any
part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under
Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to
perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall
also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the
applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer
statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default
within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an
unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies
provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and
recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or
assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts
to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's
interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to
possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination
of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability
PAGE 8 Initials MH EO
------ -----
FORM 204N-R-2/97
<PAGE>
under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing
during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE. Any agreement for free or abated rent
or other charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of
any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering
into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as
"INDUCEMENT PROVISIONS," shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and
faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision
shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force
or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration
theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement
Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance
by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of
this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of
this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time
of such acceptance.
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment
by Lessee of Rent 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 upon Lessor by any Lender.
Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within five (5) days
after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to ten
percent (10%) of each 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 such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by
Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of 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 Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease
to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable
quarterly in advance.
13.5 INTEREST. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other
than late charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments
(such as Base Rent) or within thirty (30) days following the date on which it
was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date when
due, as to scheduled payments, or the thirty-first (31st) day after it was
due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest ("INTEREST") charged shall be
equal to the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal as published
closest prior to the date when due plus four percent (4%), but shall not
exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to
the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
13.6 BREACH BY LESSOR.
(a) NOTICE OF BREACH. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach
of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an
obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this
Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have
been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice
specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that
more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then
Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is commenced within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
(b) PERFORMANCE BY LESSEE ON BEHALF OF LESSOR. In the event
that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within thirty (30) days
after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not
diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach
at Lessee's expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of
one month's Base Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such
expense under protest, reserving Lessee's right to reimbursement from Lessor.
Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to
Lessor.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under
the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (collectively "CONDEMNATION"), this Lease shall terminate as to the
part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession,
whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of any building
portion of the premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land
area portion of the premises not occupied by any building, is taken by
Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing
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 Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in
utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards
and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be
made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of
the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee
shall be entitled to any compensation for Lessee's relocation expenses, loss
of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not
this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All
Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for
purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee
and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable
therefor. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the
Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
Condemnation.
15. BROKERS' FEE.
15.1 ADDITIONAL COMMISSION. In addition to the payments owed
pursuant to Paragraph 1.10 above, and unless Lessor and the Brokers otherwise
agree in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option, (b)
if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises owned by
Lessor and located within the same Project, if any, within which the Premises
is located, (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises, with the
consent of Lessor, after the expiration of this Lease, or (d) if Base Rent is
increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein,
then, Lessor shall pay Brokers a fee in accordance with the schedule of said
Brokers in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease.
15.2 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation
hereunder. Each Broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of
Paragraphs 1.10, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to a Broker any amounts
due as and for commissions pertaining to this Lease when due, then such amounts
shall accrue Interest. In addition, if Lessor fails to pay any amounts to
Lessee's Broker when due, Lessee's Broker may send written notice to Lessor and
Lessee of such failure and if Lessor fails to pay such amounts within ten (10)
days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to its Broker and offset
such amounts against Rent. In addition, Lessee's Broker shall be deemed to be a
third party beneficiary of any commission agreement entered into by and/or
between Lessor and Lessor's Broker.
15.3 REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES OF BROKER RELATIONSHIPS.
Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no
dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers, if
any) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than said named
Brokers is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith.
Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold
the other harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges
which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar
party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party,
including any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with
respect thereto.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
(a) Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall within ten (10)
days after written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY") execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in form
similar to the then most current "ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE" form published by the
American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information,
confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting
Party.
(b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the
Estoppel Certificate within such ten day period, the Requesting Party may
execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the 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. Prospective purchasers and encumbrances may rely upon the
Requesting Party's Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall be
estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate.

(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the
Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors shall delivery to any
potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements as
may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not
limited to Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. 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.
17. DEFINITION OF LESSOR. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if
this is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event of
a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease, Lessor
shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused
Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such
transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the
prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations
and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor.
Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be
performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove
defined. Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the provisions of Paragraph
20 below, the original Lessor under this Lease, and all subsequent holders of
the Lessor's interest in this Lease shall remain liable and responsible with
regard to the potential duties and liabilities of Lessor pertaining to Hazardous
Substances as outlined in Paragraph 6 above.
18. 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.
19. DAYS. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word
"days" as used in this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.
20. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 17
above, the obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal
obligations of Lessor, the individual partners of Lessor or its or their
individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, and Lessee shall look
to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any
liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse
against the individual partners of Lessor, or its or their individual partners,
directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction.
21. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance
of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
22. NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains
all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein,
and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be
effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it
has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature,
quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease
and as to the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either Party. The liability (including court costs and Attorneys'
fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or
performance by either Lessor or Lessee under this Lease or any amendment or
modification hereto shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such
Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation
on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Broker.
23. NOTICES.
23.1 NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this
Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier)
or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service
Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and shall be
deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23.
The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written
notice to the other specify a different address for notice, except that upon
Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice. A copy of all notices to Lessor shall be
concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate in writing.
23.2 DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery
shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark
thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight
(48) hours after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with
postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight
courier that guarantee next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24)
hours after delivery of the same to the Postal Service or courier. Notices
transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered
upon telephone confirmation of receipt, provided a copy is also delivered via
delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday,
it shall be deemed received on the next business day.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof.
Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any
subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an
estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such
consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any
Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by
Lessor on account of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any
qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before
the time of deposit of such payment.
25. 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. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees applicable thereto.
26. NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of
the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this
Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be
increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable
during the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any
holding over by Lessee.
27. 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.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS; CONSTRUCTION OF AGREEMENT. All provisions
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and
conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the
convenience of the parties only and shall not be considered a part of this
Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the
plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by
one of the parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as
if both parties had prepared it.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be
governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any
litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be
initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.
30. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.
30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby
shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of
trust, or other hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY
DEVICE"), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances
made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and
extensions thereof. Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security
Devices (in this Lease together referred to as "Lessor's Lender") shall have no
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option
granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written
notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such Options shall be
deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of
the documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of
Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who
acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security
Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new
PAGE 10 Initials MH EO
------ -----
FORM 204N-R-2/97
<PAGE>
owner shall not: (i) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or
with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (ii) be
subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior
lessor, or (iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent.
30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into
by Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this
Lease shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance
agreement (a "NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance
Agreement provides that Lessee's possession of the Premises, and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long
as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises. Further, within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease,
Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance
Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured
by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the
Non-Disturbance Agreement within said sixty (60) days, then Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, directly contact Lessor's lender and attempt to negotiate for
the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.
30.4 SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30
shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided,
however, that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a
sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any
subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.
31. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding
involving the Premises to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights
hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding,
action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees.
Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit,
whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment.
The term, "PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party or
Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may
be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other
Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be
computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to
fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor
shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in the
preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection
therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection
with such Default or resulting Breach.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's
agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of
an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Lessor may
deem necessary. All such activities shall be without abatement of rent or
liability to Lessee. Lessor may at any time place on the Premises any
ordinary "FOR SALE" signs and Lessor may during the last six (6) months of
the term hereof place on the Premises any ordinary "FOR LEASE" signs. Lessee
may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "FOR SUBLEASE"
sign.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any
auction upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent, Lessor shall
not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining
whether to permit an auction.
34. SIGNS. Except for ordinary "For Sublease" signs, Lessee shall not place
any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. All signs
must comply with all Applicable Requirements.
35. TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such
lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event
constitute the termination of such interest.
36. CONSENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease
the consent of a Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual
reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects',
attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees) incurred in the
consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent,
including but not limited to consents to an assignment, a subletting or the
presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt
of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor's consent to any
act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no
Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent.
The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall
not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or
other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter
for which consent is being given. In the event that either Party disagrees with
any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably requests the
reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons
in writing and in reasonable detail within ten (10) business days following such
request.
37. GUARANTOR.
37.1 EXECUTION. The Guarantors, if any, shall each execute a
guaranty in the form most recently published by the American Industrial Real
Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall have the same obligations as
Lessee under this Lease.
37.2 DEFAULT. It shall constitute a Default of the Lessee if any
Guarantor fails or refuses, upon request to provide: (a) evidence of the
execution of the guaranty, including the authority of the party signing on
Guarantor's behalf to obligate Guarantor, and in the case of a corporate
Guarantor, a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the making of such guaranty, (b) current financial statements,
(c) a Estoppel Certificate, or (d) written confirmation that the guaranty is
still in effect.

to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet
possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises during the term hereof.

Lessor, with Lessee certifying that Lessee has no intention of thereafter
assigning or subletting.
39.3 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 Options have been validly exercised.
39.4 EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default and continuing
until said Default is cured, (ii) during the period of time any Rent is unpaid
(without regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), (iii) during the
time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessee has
been given three (3) or more notices of separate Default, whether or not the
Defaults are cured, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
the exercise of the Option.
(b) 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).
(c) 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 prior to the commencement of the extended term, (i)
Lessee fails to pay Rent for a period of thirty (30) days after such Rent
becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof), (ii)
Lessor gives to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Default during

expenses incurred in connection therewith.
41. SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable
to Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security

to grant, without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and
dedications that Lessor deems necessary, 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 agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.
43. 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 the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
