NOTE C - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
In December 1994, the Company amended its February 1993 agreement (the
"Agreement") with a subsidiary of a major commercial lender to increase its
financing facility from $200 million to $250 million. The note payable in the
accompanying balance sheet represents borrowings under a line of credit option
in the Agreement.
NOTE D - LITIGATION
On July 14 through July 19, 1994, seven class action complaints were filed
in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona against the
Company, certain of its officers and directors, and, in three of the lawsuits,
one of the underwriters of the Company's June 16, 1994 public offering of common
stock. In January 1995, the seven complaints were consolidated into a single
action and on February 16, 1995, a consolidated amended complaint was filed. The
amended complaint, which supersedes the seven initial complaints, purports to be
brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock during the period
of April 13, 1994 through July 14, 1994. The amended complaint names as
defendants the Company, its directors, certain of its officers and three of the
underwriters of the Company's June 16, 1994 public offering of common stock. The
complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company violated federal
securities laws by making misleading public statements and omitting material
facts regarding the Company's operations and financial results, which the
plaintiffs contend to have artificially inflated the price of the Company's
common stock during the alleged class period. The complaint seeks unspecified
compensatory damages as well as fees and costs. The Company and the individual
defendants deny the plaintiffs' allegations of wrongdoing and intend to
vigorously defend themselves in these actions. The proceeding is in its early
stages, however, and its outcome cannot be predicted with certainty at this
time.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

======== ======== ======== ======== ========
Total Revenue. Total revenue increased $203.9 million, or 43%, to $674.3
million for the quarter ended January 29, 1995 as compared to the quarter ended
January 30, 1994. This revenue increase included a $132.0 million, or 45%,
increase in sales to resellers and a $71.9 million, or 40%, increase in sales to
large accounts. Revenue growth was primarily attributable to sales to resellers
added since January 30, 1994, same location sales growth (including sales to
large accounts), the Company's focus on large account sales, increased demand
for the Company's major vendors' products and the Company's addition of new
product lines.
Gross Profit Percentage. The Company's gross profit percentage decreased
from 5.4% for the quarter ended January 30, 1994 to 5.1% for the quarter ended
January 29, 1995. The gross profit percentage decrease was primarily
attributable to general market pricing pressure as competition for sales of the
Company's largest vendors' products increased between the periods. The effects
of the margin decline on sales of large vendor products was partially offset by
increased sales of higher margin product lines and increased utilization of
early payment discount opportunities.
Market pricing pressures will continue to affect the Company's gross profit
percentages over at least the next several quarters. Future gross profit
percentages may also be affected by the introduction of new Company programs;
changes in revenue mix; the availability and the Company's utilization of early
payment discount opportunities; vendor pricing actions and other competitive and
economic factors.
Operating Expense Percentage. As a percentage of revenue, operating
expenses were 3.8% for the quarter ended January 29, 1995 compared to 3.7% for
the quarter ended January 30, 1994. Operating expenses increased $8.4 million to
$25.9 million for the quarter ended January 29, 1995, as compared to the quarter
ended January 31, 1994 primarily due to costs associated with increased revenue
and capacity expansion.
Other Expenses - Net. Other expenses - net increased to $3.4 million for
the quarter ended January 29, 1995 from $403,000 for the quarter ended January
30, 1994 primarily due to an increase in net financing costs.
These financing costs included expense from the sale of receivables under
an agreement with a commercial lender, increased interest expense due to higher
average borrowings and increased interest rates during the quarter ended January
29, 1995, and costs from flooring subsidies provided to lenders who floor
product purchases from the Company's customers. The higher borrowings were
primarily a result of increased accounts receivable and inventory levels during
the quarter. If the Company is successful in achieving continued revenue growth,
its working capital requirements and related financing costs are likely to
continue to increase.
Income Before Income Taxes. As a percentage of revenue, income before
income taxes decreased from 1.6% for the quarter ended January 30, 1994 to 0.9%
for the quarter ended October 30, 1994 and 0.7% for the quarter ended January
30, 1995 due to the margin pressures, operating expense increases and financing
costs described above. The factors discussed above will continue to have an
impact on the Company's income before income taxes during fiscal year 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its growth and cash needs to date primarily
through working capital financing facilities, bank credit lines, common stock
offerings and cash generated from operations. The primary uses of cash have been
to fund increases in inventory and accounts receivable resulting from increased
sales. If the Company is successful in achieving continued revenue growth, its
working capital requirements are likely to increase.
In order to establish or solidify its presence in strategic markets or in
response to competitive pressures, the Company may make acquisitions of, or
investments in, reseller locations. These acquisitions or investments may be
made utilizing cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock.
For the quarter ended January 29, 1995, $12.2 million of cash was used in
operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities included an increase
in inventory of $62.8 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of
$32.6 million, an increase in accounts payable of $12.4 million and net income
of $2.9 million. The Company's annualized inventory turnover rate decreased from
8 times at October 30, 1994 to 7 times at January 29, 1995. The decrease in
inventory turnover was attributable to the Company taking a larger stocking
position with some of its major vendors. The number of days cost of sales in
ending accounts payable decreased from 49 days at October 30, 1994 to 48 days at
January 29, 1995. The number of days sales in ending accounts receivable
decreased from 20 days at October 30, 1994 to 14 days at January 29, 1995,
primarily due to accounts receivable that were sold under a financing facility
(see discussion below). The receivables days adjusted for sold receivables were
32 days for the quarter ended January 29, 1995 compared to 31 days for the
quarter ended October 30, 1994. For the quarter ended January 29, 1995, net cash
of $5.7 million was used in investing activities primarily for the purchase of
property and equipment, and net cash of $19.2 million provided by financing
activities consisted primarily of borrowings under the Company's financing
facility.
In December 1994, the Company amended its agreement with a subsidiary of a
major commercial lender (the "Lender") to increase its financing facility (the
"Agreement") from $200 million to $250 million. The Agreement includes two major
components: an accounts receivable facility (the "A/R Facility") and an
inventory facility (the "Inventory Facility"). The agreement expires in February
1997.
Under the amended A/R Facility, the Company has the right to sell certain
accounts receivable to the Lender from time to time, on a limited recourse
basis, up to an aggregate amount of $150 million sold at any given time. At
January 29, 1995, the net amount of sold accounts receivable was $137 million.
The Inventory Facility provides for borrowings up to $100 million. Within
the Inventory Facility, the Company has a line of credit for the purchase of
inventory from selected product suppliers ("Inventory Line of Credit") of $25
million and a line of credit for general working capital requirements
("Supplemental Line of Credit") of $75 million. The Supplemental Line of Credit
contains a $10 million term loan option ("Term Loan"), exercisable at the
Company's request. Payments for products purchased under the Inventory Line of
Credit vary depending upon the product supplier, but generally are due between
45 and 60 days from the date of the advance. No interest or finance charges are
payable on the Inventory Line of Credit if payments are made when due. At
January 29, 1995, the Company had $15 million outstanding under the Inventory
Line of Credit (included in the accounts payable in the accompanying Balance
Sheet), $19 million outstanding under the Supplemental Line of Credit and no
amounts outstanding under the Term Loan.
Of the $250 million of financing capacity represented by the Agreement, $79
million was unused as of January 29, 1995. Utilization of the unused $79 million
is dependent upon the Company's collateral availability at the time the funds
would be needed.
The Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and
contains certain restrictive covenants, including working capital and tangible
net worth requirements, and ratios of debt to tangible net worth and current
assets to current liabilities. At January 29, 1995, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants.
The Company also maintains trade credit arrangements with its vendors and
other creditors to finance product purchases. Several major vendors maintain
security interests in their products sold to the Company.
The unavailability of a significant portion of, or the loss of, the
Agreement or trade credit from vendors would have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
The Company receives funds from certain vendors based on the Company's
purchases or sales of the vendors' products. These funds are earned by the
performance of specific marketing programs or other objectives determined by the
vendor and are applied against cost of sales or operating expenses, depending on
the type of program. There can be no assurance that these programs will be
continued by the vendors.
Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has generally not had a material impact on
its operations.

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 square footage set forth in this Lease, or that may

2.2 Condition. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free
of debris on the Commencement Date and warrants to Lessee that the existing
plumbing, fire sprinkler system, lighting, air conditioning, heating, and
loading doors, if any, in the Premises, other than those constructed by Lessee,

2.4 Acceptance of Premises. Lessee hereby acknowledges: (a) that it has
been advised by the Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of
the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical and fire sprinkler

defined in Paragraph 6.3) and the present and future suitability of the Premises
for Lessee's intended use, (b) that Lessee has made such investigation as it

except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform any
other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor delivers
possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not
delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee
may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten, cancel this
Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder. Except as may be otherwise provided, and regardless of when the term
actually commences, if possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by
this Lease and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period
free of the obligation to pay Base Rent, if any, 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, changes or omissions of
Lessee.
4. Rent.
4.1 Base Rent. Lessee shall cause payment of Base Rent and other rent or
charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to be received by Lessor
in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before
the day on which it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all
other rent and charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less
that one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number
of days of the calendar month involved. Payment of Base Rent and other charges
shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or
at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to
Lessee.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for Lessee's
faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails
to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or otherwise Defaults
under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), 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, cost, expense,
loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) 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 moneys with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the
full amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent increases during the
term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit
additional moneys with Lessor sufficient to maintain the same ratio between the
Security Deposit and the Base Rent as those amounts are specified in the Basic
Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security
Deposit separate from its general accounts. Lessor shall, at the expiration or
earlier termination of the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the
Premises, return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if
any, of Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the Security Deposit not used
or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lessor, no
part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear
interest or other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any moneys to
be paid by Lessee under this Lease.
6. Use.
6.1 Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the purposes set
forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other use which is comparable thereto, and for no
other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a
manner that creates waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or
occupants of, or causes damage to, neighboring premises or properties.
6.2 Hazardous Substances.
(a) Reportable Uses Require Consent. The term "Hazardous Substance" as used
in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material or waste
whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of existence, use,
manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect, either by
itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is

environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority, or (iii) a basis for liability of Lessor to any governmental agency
or third party under any applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous
Substance shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum,
gasoline, crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee
shall not engage in any activity in, on or about the Premises which constitutes
a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances without the
express prior written consent of Lessor and compliance in a timely manner (at
Lessee's sole cost and expense) with all Applicable Law (as defined in Paragraph
6.3). "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

also include Lessee's being responsible for the presence in, on or about the
Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Law

Lessor's prior consent, but in compliance with all Applicable Law, use any
ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the
normal course of Lessee's business permitted on the Premises, so long as such
use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring
properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to
any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without any obligation to
do so) condition its consent to the use or presence of any Hazardous Substance,
activity or storage tank by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional
assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect
itself, the public, the Premises and the environment against damage,
contamination or injury and/or liability therefrom or therefor, including, but
not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or
earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the
Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional
Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.
(b) Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to
believe, that a Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or resulting from
same, 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. Lessee shall also immediately give Lessor a copy of any
statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit, business plan,
license, claim, action or proceeding given to, or received from, any
governmental authority or private party, or persons entering or occupying the
Premises, concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to,
any Hazardous Substance or contamination in, on, or about the Premises,
including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any
Reportable Uses involving the Premises.
(c) Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnity, protect, defend and hold
Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the

Substance or storage tank brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or under
Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6 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 (including consultant's and attorney's fees and testing), removal,
remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination
therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or earlier 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 or storage tanks, unless specifically so
agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement. See Add.
6.3 Lessee's Compliance with Law. Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, Lessee, shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and
in a timely manner, comply with all "Applicable Law," which term is used in this
Lease to include all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives,
covenants, easements and restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of
any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the
recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner
to the Premises (including but not limited to matters pertaining to (i)
industrial hygiene, (ii) environmental conditions on, in, under or about the
Premises, including soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use,
generation, manufacture, production, installation, maintenance, removal,
transportation, storage, spill or release of any Hazardous Substance or storage
tank), now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, and whether or not
reflecting a change in policy from any previously existing policy. Lessee shall,
within five (5) days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide Lessor
with copies of all documents and information, including, but not limited to,
permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and certificates,
evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Law 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 failure by Lessee or the
Premises to comply with any Applicable Law.

Paragraph 8.3(a)) shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the
case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times, and after reasonable
notice, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for
verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease and all Applicable Laws (as
defined in Paragraph 6.3) and to employ experts and/or consultants in connection
therewith and/or to advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including
but not limited to the installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or
removal of any Hazardous Substance or storage tank on or from the Premises. The
costs and expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting
same, unless a Default or Breach of this Lease, violation of Applicable Law, or
a contamination, caused or materially contributed to by Lessee is found to exist
or be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or ordered by a
governmental authority as the result of any such existing or imminent violation
or contamination. In any such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor
or Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and expenses of such
inspections.

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

good order, condition and repair. Lessor shall not, however, be obligated to
paint the exterior surface of the exterior walls or to maintain the windows,
doors or plate glass or the interior surface of exterior walls. Lessor shall
not, in any event, have any obligation to make any repairs until Lessor receives
written notice of the need for such repairs. 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. Lessee and Lessor expressly waive the
benefit of any statute now or hereafter in effect to the extent it is
inconsistent with the terms of this Lease with respect to, or which affords
Lessee the right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor or to terminate this
Lease by reason of, any needed repairs.

(a) Definitions; Consent Required. The term "Utility Installations" is used
in this Lease to refer to all carpeting, window coverings, air lines, power
panels, electrical distribution, security, fire protection systems,

Installations in, on, under or about the Premises without Lessor's prior written
consent. Lessee may, however, make nonstructural Utility Installations to the
interior of the Premises (excluding the roof), 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 the term of this
Lease as extended does not exceed $25,000.
(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 proposed detailed plans. All consents given by
Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific consent,
shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable permits
required by governmental authorities, (ii) the furnishing of copies of such
permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications for the Alteration
or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of the work thereon, and
(iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permits in a prompt
and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee
during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner,
with good and sufficient materials, and in compliance with all Applicable Law.

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 under Paragraph 36 hereof.

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 in or on the Premises as provided by law. If
Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or
demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend 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 against the
Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor
a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor 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, as required by law for the holding of the
Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may
require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorney's fees and costs in participating in
such action if Lessor shall reasonably decide it is to its best interest to do
so.

Utility Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.
(c) Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the end of
the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, with all of the
improvements, parts and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris and in good

would have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Lessee performing
all of its obligations under this Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified
in writing by Lessor, the Premises, as surrendered, shall include the Utility
Installations. The obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage
occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade
Fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and Alterations and/or Utility Installations,
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 ground water
contaminated by Lessee, all as may then be required by Applicable Law and/or
good practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and
shall be removed by Lessee subject to its obligation to repair and restore the
Premises per this Lease.
8. Insurance; Indemnity.
8.1 Payment of Premium Increases.
(a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor any insurance cost increase ("Insurance Cost
Increase") occurring during the term of this Lease. "Insurance Cost Increase" is
defined as any increase in the actual cost of the insurance required under
Paragraphs 8.2(b), 8.3(a) and 8.3(b). ("Required Insurance"), over and above the
Base Premium, as hereinafter defined, calculated on an annual basis. "Insurance
Cost Increase" shall include, but not be limited to, increases resulting from
the nature of Lessee's occupancy, any act or omission of Lessee, requirements of
the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, increased
valuation of the Premises, and/or a premium rate increase. If the parties insert
a dollar amount in Paragraph 1.9, such amount shall be considered the "Base
Premium." In lieu thereof, if the Premises have been previously occupied, the
"Base Premium" shall be the annual premium applicable to the most recent
occupancy. If the Premises have never been occupied, the "Base Premium" shall be
the lowest annual premium reasonably obtainable for the Required Insurance as of
the commencement of the Original Term, assuming the most nominal use possible of
the Premises. In no event, however, shall Lessee be responsible for any portion
of the premium cost attributable to liability insurance coverage in excess of
$1,000,000 procured under Paragraph 8.2(b) (Liability Insurance Carried By
Lessor).
(b) Lessee shall pay any such Insurance Cost Increase to Lessor within
thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of a copy of the premium statement or
other reasonable evidence of the amount due. If the insurance policies
maintained hereunder cover other property besides the Premises, Lessor shall
also deliver to Lessee a statement of the amount of such Insurance Cost Increase
attributable only to the Premises showing in reasonable detail the manner in
which such amount was computed. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to,
or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide with
the corresponding Commencement or Expiration of the Lease term.
8.2 Liability Insurance.
(a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force during the term
of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance Protecting
Lessee and Lessor (as an additional insured) against claims for bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage based upon, involving 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 $1,000,000 per occurrence with
an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" Endorsement and contain
the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" 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 required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not,
however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation
hereunder. All insurance to be 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. In the event Lessor is the insuring Party, Lessor
shall also maintain liability insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a), above, 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 during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor,
with loss payable to Lessor and to the holders of any mortgages, deeds of trust
or ground leases on the Premises ("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 Lenders but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and
available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of
the improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full replacement
cost. Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall be insured by
Lessee under Paragraph 8.4. 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 any additional costs resulting
from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of
any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any
undamaged sections of the Premises required to be demolished or removed by
reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered cause of loss, but not including plate glass insurance.
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.
(b) Rental Value. Lessor shall, in addition, obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss
payable to Lessor and Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental and other
charges payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease for one (1) year (including
all real estate taxes, insurance costs, and any scheduled rental increases).
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 rental revenues 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 rental income, property taxes, insurance premium costs and
other expenses, if any, otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12)
month period.
(c) Adjacent Premises. If the Premises are part of a larger building, or if
the Premises are part 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.
(d) Tenant's Improvements. Since Lessor is the Insuring Party, the Lessor
shall not be required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor
under the terms of this Lease.
8.4 Lessee's Property Insurance. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph
8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at Lessor's option,
by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance coverage on all
of Lessee's personal property, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to that carried
by the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3. 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 or the restoration of Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations. Lessee shall be the Insuring Party with respect to
the insurance required by this Paragraph 8.4 and shall provide Lessor with
written evidence that such insurance is in force.
8.5 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies
duly licensed 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, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender having a lien
on the Premises, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance
Guide." Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate
the insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be
delivered to Lessor certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of, the insurance, and with the additional insureds,
required under Paragraphs 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such policy shall be cancellable 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.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies,
Lessee and Lessor ("Waiving Party") each hereby release and relieve the other,
and waive their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort)
against the other, for loss of or damage to the Waiving Party's property arising
out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against under Paragraph
8. The effect of such releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall
not be limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any
deductibles applicable thereto.
8.7 Indemnity. Except for Lessor's acts, omissions, or negligence and/or
default or breach of express warranties, Lessee shall indemnity, 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, costs, liens, judgments, penalties, permits, attorney's and
consultant's fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in
dealing with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of Lessee's
business, any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents, contractors or
employees and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee in the performance in a
timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under this
Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or
pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved therein, and whether
or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to
judgment, and whether well founded or not. In case any action or proceeding be
brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee upon
notice from Lessor shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such
defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be so
indemnified.
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, air conditioning 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, and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not.
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
lnstallations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than 50%
of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is 50% or more of the then
Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
(c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, 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 building codes, ordinances or
laws, 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. 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 as
and when required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, the shortage
in proceeds 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 Lessor does not receive such
funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written
notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to 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. If in
such case Lessor does not so elect, then this Lease shall terminate sixty (60)
days following the occurrence of the damage or destruction. Unless otherwise
agreed, Lessee shall in no event have any right to reimbursement from Lessor for
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 rather than Paragraph 9.2, 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 and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under
Paragraph 13), Lessor may at Lessor's option, 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) give written notice to Lessee within
thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such
damage of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days
following the giving of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such
notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the
right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give written
notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of such damage
totally at Lessee's expense and without reimbursement from Lessor Lessee shall
provide Lessor with the required funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within
thirty (30) days following Lessee's said 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 and the required funds are available. If
Lessee does not give such notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof
within the times specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
specified in Lessor's notice of termination. See Addendum.
9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by
Lessee. Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee
except as released and waived in Paragraph 8.6. See Addendum.
9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last six (6) months
of the term 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, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, 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, within twenty (20) days following the occurrence of the damage, or
before the expiration of the time provided in such option for its exercise,
whichever is earlier ("Exercise Period"), (i) exercising such option and (ii)
providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds for adequate assurance
thereof) needed to make the repairs. If Lessee duly exercises such option during
said Exercise Period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance
thereof to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's
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 said Exercise Period, then Lessor may at
Lessor's option terminate this Lease as of the expiration of said sixty (60) day
period following the occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to
Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10) days after the expiration
of the Exercise Period, notwithstanding any term or provision in the grant of
option to the contrary.
9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.
(a) In the event of damage described in Paragraph 9.2 (Partial
Damage-Insured), whether or not Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the
Premises, the Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, and other
charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such
damage, its repair or the restoration continues (not to exceed the period for
which rental value insurance is required under Paragraph 8.3(b)), shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired. Except for abatement of Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance
premiums, and other charges, it any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such repair or
restoration. (b) Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises
under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a
substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises 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 thirty (30) days following the
giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders
and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the
Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph shall
mean the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.
9.7 Hazardous Substance Conditions. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee
shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable Law
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's
rights under 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 investigate
and 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 giving of such notice. In the event
Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this Lease,
Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such
notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the
investigation and remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition totally at
Lessee's expense and without reimbursement from Lessor except to the extent of
an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater, Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds required of
Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following
Lessee's said commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such investigation and remediation
as soon as reasonably possible and the required funds are available. If Lessee
does not give such notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof
within the times specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
specified in Lessor's notice of termination. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs for which Lessee is not legally responsible, there shall be abatement of
Lessee's obligations under this Lease to the same extent as provided in
Paragraph 9.6(a) for a period of not to exceed twelve months. See Addendum.
9.8 Termination-Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to
this 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 under the terms of this Lease.
9.9 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 (a) Payment of Taxes. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that
Lessee shall pay, in addition to rent, the amount, if any, by which Real
Property Taxes applicable to the Premises increase over the fiscal tax year
during which the Commencement Date occurs ("Tax Increase"). Subject to Paragraph
10.1 (b), payment of any such Tax Increase shall be made by Lessee within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Lessor's written statement setting forth the amount
due and the computation thereof. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with
satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes to be
paid by Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration
or earlier termination of the term hereof, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be
equitably prorated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year
this Lease is in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment
after such proration. See Addendum.
(b) Advance Payment. In order to insure payment when due and before
delinquency of any or all Real Property Taxes, Lessor reserves the right, at
Lessor's option, to estimate the current Real Property Taxes applicable to the
Premises, and to require such current year's Tax Increase to be paid in advance
to Lessor by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal to the amount 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 that equal
monthly amount which, over the number of months remaining before the month in
which the applicable tax installment would become delinquent (and without
interest thereon), would provide a fund large enough to fully discharge before
delinquency the estimated Tax Increase to be paid. When the actual amount of the
applicable Tax Increase is known, the amount of such equal monthly advance
payment shall be adjusted as required to provide the fund needed to pay the
applicable Tax Increase before delinquency. If the amounts paid to Lessor by
Lessee under the provisions of this Paragraph are insufficient to discharge the
obligations of Lessee to pay such Tax Increase as the same becomes due, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums as are necessary
to pay such obligation. 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 the obligations of Lessee
under this Lease, then any balance of funds paid to Lessor under the provisions
of this Paragraph may, subject to proration as provided in Paragraph 10.1(a), at
the option of Lessor, be treated as an additional Security Deposit under
Paragraph 5.
(c) Additional Improvements. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 (a) hereof,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand therefor the entirety of any increase in
Real Property Taxes assessed by reason of Alterations or Utility Installations
placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request,
10.2 Definition of "Real Property Taxes." As used herein the term "Real
Property Taxes" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Premises by any authority
having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal
government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or
other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or equitable
interest of Lessor in the Premises or in the real property of which the Premises
are a part, Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's
business of leasing the Premises. 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, or changes in applicable law taking
effect, during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to a change in
the ownership of the Premises or in the improvements thereon, the execution of
this Lease, or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or
not contemplated by the Parties.
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 determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in
the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably
available Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be
conclusive.
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 contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee shall
cause its Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property
to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of
Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes applicable to
Lessee's property or, at Lessor's option, as provided in Paragraph 10.1(b).
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 with other premises.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
12.1 See Addendum.
12.2 Lessor's Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign transfer,
mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively, "assignment") or
sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the terms of
Paragraph 36.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment
requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change
in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of
transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, refinancing,
transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or
hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will
result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as hereinafter defined, by an
amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth of
Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the time of the execution by Lessor of
this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has
consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions
constituting such reduction, at whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or
is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which
Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent. "Net Worth of Less"" for purposes of
this Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors)
established under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
(d) An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in this Lease without
Lessor's specific prior written 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
unconsented to assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor shall
have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30)
days written notice ("Lessor's Notice"), increase the monthly Base Rent to fair
market rental value or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in
effect, whichever is greater. Pending determination of the new fair market
rental value, if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in
Lessor's Notice, with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s)
of Base Rent coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to
the effective date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the
determination thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and market value
adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held
by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value
(without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or any deduction for
depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises at its highest and
best use and in good condition), or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price
previously in effect, whichever is greater, (ii) any index-oriented rental or
price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to require
that the base index be determined with reference to the index applicable to the
time of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental adjustments scheduled during
the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased in the same ratio as the new
market rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the market
value adjustment.
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 Base Rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder or for the
performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any 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 any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or, Breach by Lessee of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However,
Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or
any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent, and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or
sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or any one
else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies
against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any
security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(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. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor
with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be
reasonably requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of
accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the
benefit of Lessor, 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 in writing.
(g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.1(c) shall
give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the Security
Deposit be increased to an amount equal to six (6) times the then monthly Base
Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the amount required to
establish such Security Deposit a condition to Lessor's consent to such
transaction.
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 rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a portion of the
Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such
rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease;
provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13 1) shall
occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee may,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents
accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other
assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of the collection of the
rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee
under such sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such
sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach
exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to
Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under the sublease.
Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor and shall
pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any obligation or right to
inquire as to whether such Breach exists and notwithstanding any notice from or
claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against
said sublessee, or. until the Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for any
such rents and other charges so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its obligations
under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may
require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake
the obligations of 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 other prior Defaults or Breaches of
such sublessor under such sublease.
(c) Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.
(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. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable sum per such occurrence for legal
services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of Default, and
that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said notice as
rent due and payable to cure said Default. A "Default" is defined as a failure
by the Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants,
conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A "Breach" is defined
as the occurrence of any one or more of the following Defaults, and, where a
grace period for cure after notice is specified herein, the failure by Lessee to
cure such Default prior to the expiration of the applicable grace period, and
shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or
13.3:
(b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by
Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent or any other monetary payment required
to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party within 10
days of receipt of written notice of non-payment as and when due, the failure by
Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond
required under this Lease, or the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation
under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such
failure continues for a period of three (3) days following written notice
thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by
Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly executed
original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with applicable law per

under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the recession of an unauthorized assignment or
subletting per Paragraph 12.1(b), (iv) a Tenancy Statement per Paragraphs 16 or
37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of this Lease per Paragraph 30,
(vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease if

requested under Paragraph 42 (easements).
(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, that are to be
observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those described in
subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues for a period
of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee; 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 of this Lease by Lessee 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 by Lessee
of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; Lessee's
becoming a "debtor" as determined in 11 U.S.C. l01 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 by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by
Lessee or any Guarantor of Lessee's obligations hereunder 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 breach basis,
and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event, to provide Lessor with 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 affirmative duty or obligation
of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee
(or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at its option (but
without obligation to do so), 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 to Lessor upon 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 under this Lease by Lessee to be made
only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by Lessee, as
defined in Paragraph 13.1, 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, Lessor may:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee
shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event
Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time of
the award of 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 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 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 the leasing commission paid by Lessor
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award
of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the prior sentence shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor
to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this Lease shall not
waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph. If termination of
this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer,
Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding the unpaid rent and
damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve therein the right to
recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit for such rent and/or damages.
If a notice and grace period required under subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d)
was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit,
as the case may be, given to Lessee under any statute authorizing the forfeiture
of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for
grace period purposes required by subparagraphs 13.1 (b), (c) or (d). In such
case, the applicable grace period under subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d) and
under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such
statutory notice, 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 in effect (in
California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach and
abandonment and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. See
Paragraphs 12 and 36 for the limitations on assignment and subletting which
limitations Lessee and Lessor agree are reasonable. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to
protect the Lessor's interest under the Lease, shall not constitute a
termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the
laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of
Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability 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 In Event Of Breach. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, 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 to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach of this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph 13.1, 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,
and recoverable by Lessor as additional rent due under this Lease,
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 to
Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within five (5) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.
13.5 Breach by Lessor. 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 13.5, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and by the holders of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises 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 after such notice are reasonably
required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach of this Lease
if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursued to completion. See Add.
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
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area
not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, to be exercised in writing within thirty 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 the same
proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total
rentable floor area of the building located on the Premises. No reduction of
Base Rent shall occur if the only portion of the Premises taken is land on which
there is no building. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the
Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of
the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award
shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for
the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee
shall be entitled to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's
relocation expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the
extent of its net severance damages received, over and above the legal and other
expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation, except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall be responsible for
the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance damages required to
complete such repair.
15. Broker's Fee
15.1 The Brokers named in Paragraph 1.10 are the procuring causes of this
Lease.
15.2 Upon execution of this Lease by both Parties, Lessor shall pay to said
Brokers jointly, or in such separate shares as they may mutually designate in
writing, a fee as set forth in a separate written agreement between Lessor and
said Brokers (or in the event there is no separate written agreement between
Lessor and said Brokers, the sum of $_____) for brokerage services rendered by
said Brokers to Lessor in this transaction.
15.3 Unless Lessor and Brokers have otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor
further agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as defined in Paragraph
39.1) or any Option subsequently granted which is substantially similar to an
Option granted to Lessee in this Lease, or (b) if Lessee acquires any rights to
the Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are substantially
similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein granted to
Lessee been exercised, or (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises,
with the consent of Lessor, after the expiration of the term of this Lease after
having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if said Brokers are the procuring
cause of any other lease or sale entered into between the Parties pertaining to
the Premises and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or
(e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an
escalation clause herein, then as to any of said transactions, Lessor shall pay
said Brokers a fee in accordance with the schedule of said Brokers in effect at
the time of the execution of this Lease.
15.4 Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether
such transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have
assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph 15. Each Broker shall be a
third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of
its interest in any commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that
right directly against Lessor and its successors.
15.5 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 named in Paragraph 1.10) in connection with the negotiation of this Lease
and/or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and that no
broker or other person, firm or entity other than said named Brokers is entitled
to any commission or finder's fee in connection with said transaction. 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.
15.6 Lessor and Lessee hereby consent to and approve all agency
relationships, including any dual agencies, indicated in Paragraph 1.10.
16. Tenancy Statement.
16.1 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 "Tenancy Statement" 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.
16.2 If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, any
part thereof. or the building of which the Premises are a part, Lessee and all
Guarantors of Lessee's performance hereunder shall deliver to any potential
lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee and
such Guarantors 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. Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used here in 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 in this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. 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.
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. Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within thirty (30)
days following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the
thirty-first (31st) day after it was due at the rate of 12% per annum, but not
exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the late charge
provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
20. 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.
21. Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.
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.
23. Notices.
23.1 All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing
and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or courier service) or
may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service
Express Mail, with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, 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 notice purposes. Either Party may by
written notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes,
except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall
constitute Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to
Lessee. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor
hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such
addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice
to Lessee.
23.2 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. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantees next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after
delivery of the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If notice
is received on a Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the
next business day.
24. Waivers. No waiver either by Lessee or 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 or Lessee'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.
Regardless of Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting
rent, the acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding
Default or Breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of
Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted. Any payment given Lessor 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 or taxes 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 earlier termination of
this Lease.
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. All provisions of this Lease to be observed
or performed are both covenants and conditions.
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 by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default and
allow such Lender thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice for the cure
of said default before invoking any remedies Lessee may have by reason thereof.
If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby
superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give written notice
thereof to Lessee, 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 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 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 assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from the
Lender that Lessee's possession 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. See Add.
30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be
effective without the execution of any further documental 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 such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.
31. Attorney's Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding
to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) or Broker in any such proceeding, action, or appeal
thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's 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 attorney's fee award shall not be computed in accordance
with any court fee schedule. but shall be such as to fully reimburse all
attorney's fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorney's
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 upon reasonable notice for the
purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and
making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or
to the building of which they are a part, as Lessor may reasonably deem
necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or building any
ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred
twenty (120) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of
rent or liability to Lessee.
33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises, except that
Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent, install (but not on the roof)
such signs as are reasonably required to advertise Lessee's own business. The
installation of any sign on the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations,
Trade Fixtures and Alterations). The Lessor is prohibited from erecting, placing
or allowing signs on the premises other than those referred to in Paragraph 32.
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, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to make a written election 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.
(a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or 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 riot
limited to architects@ attorneys@ engineers' or other consultants' fees)
incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any
Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including but not
limited to consents to an assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a
Hazardous Substance, practice or storage tank, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor
upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Subject to
Paragraph 12.2(e) (applicable to assignment or subletting), Lessor may, as a
condition to considering any such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit
with Lessor an amount of money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under
Paragraph 5) reasonably calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will
incur in considering and responding to Lessee's request. Except as otherwise
provided, any unused portion of said deposit shall be refunded to Lessee without
interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of this Lease or subletting of
the Premises by Lessee 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.
(b) All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. 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.
37. Guarantor.
37.1 If there are to be any Guarantors of this Lease per Paragraph 1.11.
the form of the guaranty to be executed by each such Guarantor shall be in the
form most recently published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association,
and each said Guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this
Lease, including but not limited to the obligation to provide the Tenancy
Statement and information called for by Paragraph 16.
37.2 It shall constitute a Default of the Lessee under this Lease if any
such Guarantor fails or refuses, upon reasonable request by Lessor to give: (a)
evidence of the due execution of the guaranty called for by this Lease,
including the authority of the Guarantor (and of the party signing on
Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on said guaranty, and including
in the case of a corporate Guarantor, a certified copy of a resolution of its
board of directors authorizing the making of such guaranty, together with a
certificate of incumbency showing the signatures of the persons authorized to
sign on its behalf, (b) current financial statements of Guarantor as may from
time to time be requested by Lessor, (c) a Tenancy Statement. or (d) written
confirmation that the guaranty is still in effect.

and the observance and performance of all of the covenants, conditions and
provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease,
Lessee shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.
39. Options.
39.1 Definition. As used in this Paragraph 39 the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to renew
this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other property of
Lessor; (b) the right of first refusal to lease the Premises or the right of
first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first refusal to lease other
property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other property of
Lessor; (c) the right to purchase the Premises, or the right of first refusal to
purchase the Premises, or the right of first offer to purchase the Premises, or
the right to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first refusal to
purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first offer to purchase other
property of Lessor.
39.2 Options Personal to Original Lessee. Each Option granted to Lessee in
this Lease is personal to the original Lessee named in Paragraph 1.1 hereof, and
cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or exercised by any person or
entity other than said original Lessee while the original Lessee is in full and
actual possession of the Premises and without the intention of thereafter
assigning or subletting. The Options, if any herein granted to Lessee are not
assignable, either as a part of an assignment of this Lease or separately or
apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated from this Lease in any manner,
by reservation or otherwise.
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 to extend or renew this Lease have been validly exercised.
39.4 Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding any
