ARTICLE 2. RENT, OPERATING EXPENSES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT, LATE CHARGES
AND REPAYMENT OF FREE RENT

2.1		BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay monthly as Base Rent during the term of this Lease the sum of money set forth in Section 1.4 of this Lease, which amount shall be payable to Landlord at the address shown above. One monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date during the term of this Lease; provided, if the Commencement Date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the base rent shall be pro rated on a per diem basis, and all succeeding installments of rent shall be payable on or before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all other sums due under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever (other than Tenant’s default), cannot deliver possession of the Premises to the Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, nor shall the expiration of the term be extended, but all rent shall be abated until Landlord delivers possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord fails to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the condition required by the Commencement Date, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease after December 31, 2005 by providing five (5) days written notice to Landlord.

2.2		OPERATING EXPENSES. Tenant shall also pay as additional rent Tenant’s pro rata share of the Operating Expenses of Landlord for the Building. Landlord may invoice Tenant monthly for Tenant’s pro rata share of the estimated Operating Expenses for each calendar year, which amount shall be adjusted from time to time by Landlord based upon anticipated operating expenses. Within six (6) months following the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant an accounting showing in reasonable detail the computations of additional rent due under this Section. In the event the accounting shows that the total of the monthly payments made by Tenant exceeds the amount of additional rent due by Tenant under this Section, the accounting shall be accompanied by evidence of a credit to Tenant’s account. In any event, if the accounting shows that the total of the monthly payments made by Tenant is less than the amount of additional rent due by Tenant under this Section, the accounting shall be accompanied by an invoice for the additional rent. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Lease, during the year in which this Lease terminates, Landlord, prior to the termination date, shall have the option to invoice Tenant for Tenant’s pro rata share of the Operating Expenses based upon the previous calendar year’s Operating Expenses. If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of any additional rent payable by Tenant applicable to the year in which the termination shall occur shall be pro rated on the ratio that the number of days from the commencement of the calendar year to and including such termination date bears to 365. Tenant agrees to pay any additional rent due under this Section within ten (10) days following receipt of the invoice or accounting showing additional rent due. Tenant’s pro rata share set forth in Section 1.7 shall, subject to reasonable adjustment by Landlord, be equal to a percentage based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the total area of the Premises as set forth in Article 1 and the denominator of which shall be the net rentable area of the Building, as the same may change from time to time. Landlord shall maintain books and records showing, in reasonable detail, actual Operating Expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All such books and records shall be made available to Tenant for inspection upon reasonable prior notice.

2.3		DEFINITION OF OPERATING EXPENSES. The term “Operating Expenses” includes all expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the maintenance and operation of the Building, including, but not limited to, the following: maintenance, repair and replacement costs; electricity, fuel, water, sewer, gas and other common Building utility charges; equipment used for maintenance and operation of the Building; operational expenses; exterior window washing and janitorial services; trash and snow removal; landscaping and pest control; management fees, wages and benefits payable to employees of Landlord whose duties are directly connected with the operation and maintenance of the Building; all services, supplies, repairs, replacements or other expenses for maintaining and operating the Building or project including parking and common areas; improvements made to the Building which are required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed; installation of any device or other equipment which improves the operating efficiency of any system within the Premises and thereby reduces Operating Expenses; all other expenses which would generally be regarded as operating, repair, replacement and maintenance expenses; all real property taxes and installments of special assessments, including dues and assessments by means of deed restrictions and/or owner’s association which accrue against the Building during the term of

		this Lease and legal fees incurred in connection with actions to reduce the same; and all insurance premiums Landlord is required to pay or deems necessary to pay, including fire and extended coverage, and rent loss and public liability insurance.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include the following:

	i.		repairs or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty, to the extent that the costs thereof are reimbursed to Landlord by insurers, or would have been reimbursed had the insurance required hereunder been maintained, or by governmental authorities in eminent domain;

	ii.		leasing commission, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with tenants, or prospective tenants of the Building;

	iii.		costs incurred in renovating or otherwise improving or decorating or redecorating space for tenants in the Building or other space leased or held for lease in the Building;

	iv.		Landlord’s costs of utilities, janitorial and other services sold to tenants for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by tenants;

	v.		Depreciation and amortization;

	vi.		Costs which under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, must be capitalized, and such costs shall be amortized over there useful life, not to exceed fifteen (15) years, at 10% interest;

	vii.		Interest on debt or amortization payments on any mortgage or mortgages, and rental under any ground or underlying lease or leases;

	viii.		The cost of changes to the Building, parking structure, or the appurtenances in compliance with any laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or directives enacted prior to the Commencement Date; and

	ix.		Any charges for ground leases or other underlying leases, easements or any other similar or dissimilar use fees or other costs.

2.4		INCREASE IN INSURANCE PREMIUMS. If an increase in any insurance premiums paid by Landlord for the Building is caused by Tenants use of the Premises or if Tenant vacates the Premises and causes an increase in such premiums, then Tenant shall pay as additional rent the amount of such increase to Landlord.

2.5		SECURITY DEPOSIT. The security deposit set forth in Section 1.6 shall be held by Landlord for the performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood that the security deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord’s damage in case of default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant or breach by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants under this Lease, and Tenant’s failure to cure within the applicable time frame, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the security deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent, or to repair any damage or injury, or pay any expense or liability reasonably incurred by Landlord as a result of the event of default or breach of covenant, and any remaining balance of the security deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant upon termination of this Lease. If any portion of the security deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall upon ten (10) days written notice from Landlord, deposit with Landlord by cash or cashier’s check an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount.

2.6		LATE CHARGES. Tenant’s failure to pay rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain, such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Property. Therefore, if Landlord doesn’t receive any rent payment within five (5) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. Tenant shall have two (2) annual late payment waivers provided payment is received within five (5) business days of written notice from Landlord.

2.7		INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.

ARTICLE 3. OCCUPANCY AND USE

3.1		USE. Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that the Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose as set forth in Section 1.5.

Tenant will comply with the reasonable rules and regulations of the Building adopted by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at all times to change and amend the rules and regulations in any reasonable manner as may be deemed advisable for the safety, care, cleanliness, preservation of good order and operation or use of the Building or the Premises.

If all or a substantial part of the Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which it is then being used, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority. Tenant shall have no claim to the condemnation award or proceeds in lieu thereof, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a separate award granted to Tenant.

8.2		PARTIAL TAKING.

Any such sale, transfer or assignment shall operate to release Landlord from any and all liabilities under this Lease arising after the date of such sale, assignment or transfer.

9.2		TENANT ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall not assign, in whole or in part, this Lease, or allow it to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise (including without limitation by transfer of a majority interest of stock, merger, or dissolution, which transfer of majority interest of stock, merger or dissolution shall be deemed an assignment) or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in no event shall said such assignment or sublease ever release Tenant or any guarantor from any obligation or liability hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event of any assignment or sublease, any option or right of first refusal granted to Tenant shall not be assignable by Tenant to any assignee or subleasee. No assignee or subleasee of the Premises or any portion thereof may assign or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet the Premises without without Landlord’s consent to any of the following (a “Permitted Transferee”): (i) any successor corporation or other entity resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant; (ii) any entity that which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant; or, (iii) any purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets.

9.3		CONDITIONS OF ASSIGNMENT. With the exception of an assignment or sublease to a Permitted Transferee, if Tenant desires to assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises, it shall so notify Landlord at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease. Tenant shall provide Landlord With a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease and such information as Landlord might request concerning the proposed sublessee or assignee to allow Landlord to make informed judgments as to the financial condition, reputation, operations and general desirability of the proposed sublessee or assignee. Within fifteen(15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s proposed assignment or sublease and all required information concerning the proposed sublessee or assignee, Landlord shall have the following options: (1) cancel this Lease as to the Premises or portion thereof proposed to be assigned or sublet; (2) consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, and, if the rent due payable by any assignee or sublessee under any such permitted assignment or sublease (or a combination of the rent payable under such assignment or, sublease plus any bonus or any other consideration or any payment incident thereto) exceeds the rent payable under this Lease for such space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such excess rent and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant; or (3) refuse, in its sole and absolute discretion and judgment, to consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, which refusal shall be deemed to have been exercised unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice providing otherwise. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, if all or any part of the Premises are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or provided by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the assignee or sublessee all rents becoming due to Tenant by reason of this assignment or sublease, and Landlord shall have a security interest in all properties on the Premises to secure payment of such sums. Any collection directly by Landlord from the assignee or sublessee shall not be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant or any guarantor from the further performance of its obligation under this Lease.

9.4		RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any recorded mortgage presently existing or hereafter created upon the Building and to all existing recorded restrictions, covenants, easements and agreements with respect to the Building.

If the interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any first mortgage or deed of trust on the Premises, Tenant shall be bound to the transferee (sometimes called the “Purchaser”) at the option of the Purchaser, under the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the term remaining, including any extensions or renewals, with the same force and effect as if the Purchaser were Landlord under this Lease, and, if requested by the Purchaser, Tenant agrees to attorn to the Purchaser, including the first mortgagee under any such mortgage if it be the Purchaser, as its Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.

TENANT’S STATEMENT. Tenant agrees to furnish, from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a request from Landlord to Landlord’s mortgagee, a statement certifying, if applicable, the following: Tenant is in possession of the Premises; the Premises are acceptable; the Lease is in full force and effect; the Lease is unmodified; Tenant claims no present charge, lien, or claim or offset against rent; the rent is paid for the current month, but is not prepaid for more than one month and will not be prepaid for more then one month in advance; there is no existing default by reason of some act or omission by Landlord; and such other matters may be reasonably required by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee.

Tenant agrees to furnish, from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of request from Landlord, a current financial statement of Tenant, certified as true and correct by Tenant.

ARTICLE 11. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

11.1		DEFAULT BY TENANT. The following shall be deemed to be events of default (“Default”) by Tenant under this Lease: (1) Tenant shall fail to pay when due any installment of rent or any other payment required pursuant to this Lease; (2) Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of rent, and the failure is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant or such additional time period as is reasonably necessary to cure such default, provided Tenant commences such cure and proceeds with due diligence to cure such default: (3) Tenant shall file a petition or if an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant, or becomes insolvent, under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or admits that it cannot meet its financial obligation as they become due, or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; or Tenant shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (4) Tenant shall do or permit to be done any act which results in a lien being filed against the Premises or the Building and/or project of which the Premises are a part.

		In the event that an order for relief is entered in any case under Title 11, U.S.C. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in which Tenant is the debtor and: (A) Tenant as debtor-in-possession, or any trustee who may be appointed in the case (the “Trustee”) seeks to assume the Lease, then Tenant, or Trustee if applicable, in addition to providing adequate assurance described in applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall provide adequate assurance to Landlord of Tenant’s future performance under this Lease by depositing with Landlord a sum equal to the lesser of twenty-five percent (25%) of the rental or other charges due for the balance of this Lease term or six (6) months’ rent (“Security”), to be held (without any allowance or interest thereon) to secure Tenant’s obligation under the Lease, and (B) Tenant, or Trustee if applicable, seeks to assign the Lease after assumption of the same, then Tenant, in addition to providing adequate assurance described in applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall provide adequate assurance to Landlord of the proposed assignee’s future performance under the Lease by depositing with Landlord, a sum equal to the Security to be held (without any allowance or interest thereon) to secure performance under the Lease. Nothing contained herein expresses or implies, or shall be construed to express or imply, that Landlord is consenting to assumption and/or assignment of the Lease by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves all of its rights to object to any assumption and/or assignment of the Lease. Neither Tenant nor any Trustee shall conduct or permit the conduct of any “fire”, “bankruptcy”, “going out of business” or auction sale in or from the Premises.

11.2		REMEDIES FOR TENANT’S DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of a Default as defined above, Landlord may elect either (i) to cancel and terminate this Lease and this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant’s bankruptcy estate, or (ii) to terminate Tenant’s right to possession only without canceling and terminating Tenant’s continued liability under this Lease. Notwithstanding the fact that initially Landlord elects under (ii) to terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, Landlord shall have the continuing right to cancel and terminate this Lease by giving three (3) days’ written notice to Tenant of such further election, and shall have the right to pursue any remedy at law or in equity that may be available to Landlord.

		In the event of election under (ii) to terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter the Premises and take and hold possession thereof, without such entry into possession terminating this Lease or releasing Tenant in whole or in part from Tenants obligation to pay all amounts hereunder for the full stated term. Upon such re-entry, Landlord may remove all persons and property from the Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, without becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Such re-entry shall be conducted in the following manner: without resort to judicial process or notice of any kind if Tenant has abandoned or voluntarily surrendered possession of the Premises, and, otherwise, by resort to judicial process. Upon and after entry into possession without termination of the Lease, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, relet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any one other than the Tenant for such time and upon such terms as Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, shall determine. Landlord may make alterations and repairs to the Premises to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable.

		Upon such re-entry, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord as follows:

	A.		For reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with exercising any remedy hereunder.

	B.		For the unpaid installments of base rent, additional rent or other unpaid sums which were due prior to such re-entry, including interest and late payment fees, which sums shall be payable immediately.

	C.		For the installments of base rent, additional rent, and other sums falling due pursuant to the provisions of this Lease for the period after re-entry during which the Premises remain vacant, including late payment charges and interest, which sums shall be payable as they become due hereunder.

	D.		For all reasonable expenses incurred in releasing the Premises, including leasing commissions, attorney’s fees, and costs of alteration or repairs, which shall be payable by Tenant as they are incurred by Landlord: and

	E.		While the Premises are subject to any new lease or leases made pursuant to this Section, for the amount by which the monthly installments payable under such new lease or leases is less than the monthly installment for all charges payable pursuant to this Lease, which deficiencies shall be payable monthly.

		Notwithstanding Landlord’s election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, and notwithstanding any reletting without termination, Landlord, at any time thereafter, may elect to terminate this Lease, and to recover (in lieu of the amounts which would thereafter be payable pursuant to the foregoing, but not in diminution of the amounts payable as provided above before termination), as damages for loss of bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum equal to the amount by which the rental value of the portion of the term unexpired at the time of such election is less than an amount equal to the unpaid base rent, percentage rent, and additional rent and all other charges which would have been payable by Tenant for the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease, which deficiency and all expenses incident thereto, including commissions, attorney’s fees, expenses of alterations and repairs, shall be due to Landlord as of the time Landlord exercises said election, notwithstanding that the term had not expired. If Landlord, after such re-entry, leases the Premises, then the rent payable under such new Lease shall be conclusive evidence of the rental value of the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease.

		If this Lease shall be terminated by reason of bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant or Tenant’s estate, as liquidated damages for loss of bargain and not as a penalty, the amount determined by the immediately preceding paragraph.

11.3		LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR ACCOUNT OF TENANT. If Tenant shall be in Default under this Lease, Landlord may cure the Default at any time for the account and at the expense of Tenant. If Landlord cures a Default on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount expended by Landlord in connection with the cure, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and interest.

11.4		INTEREST AND LEASE ENFORCEMENT COSTS. In the event of a Default by Tenant, then, in addition to all other remedies allowed by this Lease or by law, interest will

		accrue on any delinquent sum at the rate of the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law, and (b) Tenant will be liable for all expenses incurred by Landlord in order to enforce Landlord’s rights and remedies on account of that Default. Such enforcement expenses include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees (whether or not suit is actually filed, and, if filed, whether or not incurred in seeking a judgment or order, in defending against any claim or defense raised by Tenant, enforcing a judgment or order, defending a judgment or order on appeal, or successfully appealing any judgment or order); sheriff’s fees; process server’s fees; filing fees; court imposed fees for obtaining any writ; expert witness fees; and, in the case of each suit filed on account of a Tenant Default (including, without limitation, each unlawful detainer action), an automatic charge (in addition to the late charge authorized by Section 2.6), set at the liquidated amount of $300, to cover additional landlord administrative expense associated with litigation. Furthermore, and whether or not Tenant is in default, Tenant will be liable for all expenses incurred by Landlord in successfully establishing its rights or successfully defending against any claim asserted by Tenant in any action in which a court or other tribunal is asked to adjudicate any such matters.

11.5		ADDITIONAL REMEDIES, WAIVER, ETC.

	A.		The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now and hereafter provided by law. All rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive of each other. Landlord may exercise its rights and remedies at any time, in any order, to any extent, and as often as Landlord deems advisable without regard to whether the exercise of one right or remedy precedes, concurs with or succeeds the exercise of another.

	B.		A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not preclude a further exercise thereof, or the exercise of another right or remedy from time to time.

	C.		No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiesce to, a Default.

	D.		No waiver of Default shall extend to or affect any other Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto.

	E.		No action or inaction by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of Default.

	F.		No waiver of a Default shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord.
