Tenant shall have the right to have and hold the Leased Premises for and during the Term subject to the payment of the Base Rent and the Additional Rent and the full and timely performance by Tenant of the covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

TENANT COVENANTS

Tenant covenants and agrees with the Landlord as follows:

4. BASE RENT

As of the Commencement Date, Tenant covenants and agrees to timely pay without notice, deduction, off-set or abatement to the Landlord at the Building, or such other address as Landlord may notify Tenant of in writing, yearly and every year during the Term hereof, the Rent in lawful money of the United States. Base Rent is payable in the monthly installments set forth on the Lease Agreement Facing Page attached hereto; Additional Rent is payable pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 7 hereof. Rent is due and shall be paid in advance on or before the first (1st) day of each month during the term hereof. Rent is considered late and Tenant shall be in default if rent is received after 5:00 o’clock p.m. on the fifth (5th) day of the month. A penalty of fifty dollars ($50.00) per day will be assessed on any sums due under the lease which are received after the fifth (5th) day of the month. In the event that Landlord is required to post a 3-day notice for non-payment of rent or for any other breach of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an administrative fee of $250.00 and attorneys fees of $250.00 (total of $500.00) together with any other sums due as an essential part of the cure of default. If the Term hereof commences on any day other than the first day or expires on any day other than the last day of the month, Rent for the fraction of a month at the commencement and at the end of the Term shall be adjusted pro rata on a per diem basis, and all succeeding installments of Base Rent shall be paid on the first (1st) day of each month during the term hereof. Should Tenant be in default, Landlord may collect $50.00 per day penalty under this provision or 18% interest under Paragraph 36, whichever is greater. Any rent check returned for insufficient funds shall constitute an event of default, and Tenant must cover said check with certified funds plus the penalty contained herein. Landlord may also seek additional relief as provided by law.

5. COMMENCEMENT AND CONDUCT OF BUSINESS

Tenant shall commence its business in the Leased Premises on the Commencement Date and hereafter shall operate its business in the entire Leased Premises in accordance with Paragraph 14 in a reputable manner and in compliance with the provisions of this Lease and the requirements of all applicable governmental laws and during Business Days during the Term hereof, provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Tenant to carry on business during any period prohibited by any law or ordinance regulating or limiting the hours during which such business may be carried on.

6. BUSINESS TAXES, ETC.

6.1 Tenant shall fully and timely pay all business and other taxes, separately metered utility charges, other charges, rates, duties, assessments and license fees levied, imposed, charged, or assessed against or in respect of the Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises or in respect of the personal property, trade fixtures, furniture and facilities of the Tenant or the business or income of the Tenant on and from the Leased Premises, if any, as and when the same become due, and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all payment of such taxes, charges, rates, duties, assessments, and license fees and against all loss, costs, charges, and expenses occasioned by or arising from any and all such taxes, rates, duties, assessments, and license fees.

6.2 Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord for inspection at Landlord’s option upon written request of Landlord, receipts for payment of all taxes, charges, rates, duties,


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

assessments, and licenses in respect to all improvements, equipment, and facilities of the Tenant on or in the Leased Premises which were due and payable up to one (1) year prior to such request and in any event to furnish to the Landlord if requested by the Landlord, evidence satisfactory to the Landlord of any such payments. Landlord shall have no obligation hereunder or otherwise to make or monitor the making of such payments.

7. ADDITIONAL RENT

7.1 Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs:

(a) Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent both a pro rata portion of the “Real Estate Taxes”, as said term is hereinafter defined, and a portion of the Operating Costs as said term is hereinafter defined. In determining the Tenant’s share of any such Additional Rent, such amount shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the area of the Leased Premises and the denominator of which shall be the total rentable space in the Building. For purposes of this Lease, and unless and until there is physical change in the size of the Leased Premises and/or the rentable space in the Building, the Tenant’s proportional share shall be deemed to be 22% +/- (“Tenants Proportional Share”). Tenant accepts the figures used by the Landlord for the area of the Leased Premises, the total rentable space in the Building, and Tenant’s proportional share, and waives any right to dispute these figures in the future.

(b) Real Estate Taxes

(i) “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean and include all general and special taxes, assessments, dues, duties, and levies charged and levied upon or assessed against the Building, the land upon which it is located, any improvements situated on the Real Property, any leasehold improvements, fixtures, installations, additions, and equipment used in the maintenance or operation of the Building whether owned by Landlord or Tenant, not paid directly by the Tenant. Further, if at any time during the Term of this Lease the method of taxation of real estate prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be or has been altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now or hereafter levied, assessed, or imposed upon real estate to be levied, assessed, or imposed upon Landlord wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, or on or measured by the rents therefrom, then such new or altered taxes attributable to the Leased Premises shall be deemed to be included within the term “Real Estate Taxes” for purposes of this Section, save and except that such shall not be deemed to include any increase in said tax not attributable to the Building.

(ii) The amount of Real Estate Taxes attributed to the Leased Premises for any year or portion of year shall be the amount of such taxes multiplied by Tenant’s Proportional Share.

(i) The term “Operating Costs” means the total amounts paid or payable whether by the Landlord or others on behalf of the Landlord in connection with the ownership, maintenance, repair and operation of the Building, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase of steam or other energy for heating or other purposes, the amount paid or payable for all electricity furnished by the Landlord to the Building, the amount paid or payable for replacement of electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts; the amount paid or payable for all hot and cold water (other than that paid by Tenants), the amount paid or payable for all labor and/or wages and other payments including costs to Landlord or workman’s compensation and disability insurance, payroll taxes, welfare and fringe benefits made to janitors, caretakers, and other employees, contractors and subcontractors of the Landlord (including but not limited to salary or wages of the building manager) involved in the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Building, managerial and administrative expenses related to the Building, the total charges of any independent contractors employed in the repair, care, operation, maintenance, and cleaning of the Building, the amount paid or payable for all supplies including all supplies and necessities which are occasioned by everyday wear and tear, the costs of climate control, window and exterior wall cleaning, roof repairs, telephone and utility costs,


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

the cost of accounting services necessary to compute the rents and charges payable by tenants of the Building, fees for management, legal, accounting, inspection and consulting services, travel of ownership to the property, the cost of guards and other protection services, the cost of locks, keys, alarms and related security equipment, payments for general maintenance and repairs to the plant and equipment supplying, the amount paid for premiums for all insurance and all amounts payable in accordance with ground leases, easements, or right of way appurtenant to the Building. Operating Costs shall not, however, include interest on debt, capital improvements (which includes structural, roof replacement and parking lot overlay), capital retirement of debt, depreciation, costs properly chargeable to capital account, and costs directly charged by the Landlord to any tenant or tenants. The reference to “Building” in this subparagraph (c)(i) shall include all related facilities including interior Lease Premises, sidewalks, grounds, elevators, and other public areas contained in and around the Building as well as landscaping, parking areas, and exterior walkways and areas. By setting forth the above items which may or could be included within Operating Costs, it is not meant to indicate or imply that all of such activities or services will be provided by the Landlord.

(ii) The amount of Operating Costs attributed to the Leased Premises for any year or portion of year shall be the amount of such Operating Costs multiplied by Tenant’s Proportional Share.

(d) If only part of the first or final calendar year is included within the Term, the amount of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs payable by the Tenant for such period shall be estimated by the Landlord acting reasonably and adjusted proportionately on a per diem basis and shall be payable upon demand as soon as such amount has been ascertained by the Landlord. In the event of assignment, no new assignee-tenant may dispute Landlord’s determination or calculation of expenses prior to the date of assignment.

7.2 Payment of Additional Rent

Any Additional Rent payable by the Tenant under Section 7.1 hereof shall be paid as follows, unless otherwise provided:

(a) During the Term, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord at the same time as the payment of the Base Rent, one twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of such Additional Rentals as estimated by the Landlord in advance acting reasonably to be due from the Tenant for a twelve month period of time. Such estimate may be adjusted from time to time by the Landlord as actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs become known, and the Tenant shall pay installments of Additional Rentals according to such estimate as periodically adjusted.

(b) If the aggregate amount of such estimated Additional Rental payments made by the Tenant in any year of the Term should be less than the Additional Rentals due for such year of the Term, then the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Additional Rental upon demand, the amount of such deficiency. Similarly, if the aggregate amount of such estimated Additional Rental payments made by the Tenant in any year of the Term should be more than the Additional Rentals due for such year of the Term, then such surplus shall be credited to future Additional Rent due and owing in the next subsequent year.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Landlord is required to pay an amount which it is entitled to collect from the tenants of the Building more frequently than monthly, or if the Landlord is required to prepay any such amount, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its proportionate share of such amount calculated in accordance with this Lease within ten (10) days from receipt of written demand.

(d) The Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year (or as soon thereafter as possible reasonable), provide the Tenant a statement of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs incurred for the previous calendar year, certified by the Landlord as to its accuracy. If the Tenant wishes to dispute the Landlord’s determination or calculation of such expenses for any calendar year, the Tenant shall give the Landlord written


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

notice of such dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Landlord of the matter giving rise to the dispute. If the Tenant does not give the Landlord such notice within such time, the Tenant shall have waived its right to dispute such determination or calculation. In the event the Tenant disputes any such determination or calculation, the Tenant shall have the right to inspect the Landlord’s accounting records at the Landlord’s accounting office and if, after such inspection, the Tenant still disputes such determination or calculation, a certification as to the proper amount made by an independent certified public accountant selected by the Landlord shall be final and conclusive. The Tenant agrees to pay the costs of such certification. If such certification reveals that the amount previously determined and calculated by the Landlord was incorrect and improper, a correction shall be made and either the Landlord shall promptly return to the Tenant any overpayment or the Tenant shall promptly pay to the Landlord any underpayment that was based on such incorrect amount. Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute hereunder, the Tenant shall make payments based upon the Landlord’s then current determination and calculation until such determination and calculation has been established hereunder to be incorrect.

8. BULBS, TUBES, BALLASTS

Tenant shall make any replacement of electric light bulbs, tubes, and ballasts in the Leased Premises throughout the term and any renewal thereof. The Landlord, in its sole discretion, may adopt a system of relamping and reballasting periodically on a group basis in accordance with good practice

Tenant shall pay as Additional Rental, on demand, the cost of any metering which may be required by the Landlord to measure any excess usage of electricity, water, or other utility or energy.

10. USE OF ELECTRICITY

10.1 Tenant’s use of electricity in the Leased Premises shall be separately metered and paid by Tenant to the supplying utility of the Landlord’s discretion.

10.2 If, for any reason, electricity is not separately metered to Tenant, Landlord shall reasonably apportion Tenant’s share of electrical usage and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof as Additional Rent on the dates for payment of Base Rent occurring after billing of Tenant therefore by Landlord.

11. TENANT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

11.1 If the Building, boilers, engines, pipes, or other apparatus, or members or elements of the Building (or any of them) used for the purpose of climate control of the Building, or if the water pipes, drainage pipes, electrical lighting, or other equipment of the Building or the roof or outside walls of the Building or Real Property of Landlord become damaged or are destroyed through any act or omission of the Tenant, its servants, agents, employees, or its invitees, then the cost of the necessary repairs, replacements, or alterations, shall be borne by the Tenant who shall pay such cost to Landlord within ten (10) days from receipt of written demand thereof, except to the extent such costs are reimbursed by insurance.

11.2 Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises in as good order, condition, and repair as when they were entered upon, except for reasonable wear and tear Tenant shall vacuum all carpets weekly and clean all carpets annually. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any repair, replacement or alteration of ceiling tile, water pipes, sinks, toilets, plumbing, drainage pipes, electrical wiring, electrical outlets, lighting, climate control, doors, locks (interior and exterior), door hardware, interior walls and flooring, roof if penetrated by tenant as set forth in Section 30 or any portion of the Leased Premises. If Tenant fails to keep the Leased Premises in such good order, condition, and repair as required hereunder to the satisfaction of Landlord,

Landlord may restore the Leased Premises to such good order and condition and make such repairs without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s property or business by reason thereof, and upon completion thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the costs of restoring the Leased Premises to such good order and condition and of the making of such repairs, within ten (10) days from receipt of written demand thereof.

11.4 In the event Landlord is responsible for cleaning service under this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Leased Premises at the end of each Business Day in a reasonably tidy condition for the purpose of allowing the cleaning service to perform adequately.

11.5 Landlord reserves the right to enter into contracts for preventive maintenance for all climate control and Tenant shall be responsible for said costs.

12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

12.1 Tenant shall not permit any part of the Leased Premises to be used or occupied by any persons other than the Tenant, any subtenants permitted under Section 12.2, and the employees of the Tenant and any such permitted subtenant, or permit any part of the Leased Premises to be used or occupied by any licensee or concessionaire, or permit any persons to be upon the Leased Premises other than the Tenant, such permitted subtenants, and their respective employees, customers, and others having the lawful business with them.

12.2 Tenant shall not assign or sublet or part with the possession of all or part of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably or untimely (30 days) withheld; provided, however, that the use of the Premises by the sublessee or assignee shall be substantially the same as the use permitted by the Tenant, and provided that the Tenant shall: submit in writing to Landlord (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (b) the nature of the business proposed to be carried on in the Leased Premises; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease; (d) such reasonable financial and other information as the Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; (e) assurances, adequate to the Landlord, of the future performance by the proposed subtenant or assignee under the Lease; (f) an initial payment of $500.00 to the Landlord to defray the expense of Landlord in reviewing the aforementioned material, to be paid along with the written request for assignment or subletting; (g) payment of all Landlord’s legal fees and related expenses incurred as a result of the assignment or subletting, to be paid at the execution of the assignment or sublease. No partial assignment or subletting of a portion of the Leased Premises shall be allowed. Any consent to any complete or full assignment or subletting shall not relieve the Tenant from its obligations for the payment of all rental due hereunder and for the full and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions herein contained. No term of assignment or subletting shall extend beyond the primary term of the lease, and any option periods under this Lease shall terminate with respect to any Tenant and any assignee or sublessee. Consent of the Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve the Tenant from obtaining the consent of the Landlord to any further assignment or subletting, and shall not bind Landlord to provide any services or benefits to subtenant that Tenant had provided or committed to provide in writing or otherwise. Any violation of this subsection shall be a non-curable default which allows the Landlord the right to possession of the Premises and other rights of default against Tenant or anyone else occupying the Premises as set forth in Section 35, despite efforts by Tenant to cure. Any rent collected by Tenant from a sublessee in excess of the rate of rent under the Lease shall be the property of the Landlord. Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to demand that a sublessee pay rent directly to the Landlord. Any sublease shall be on a sublease form provided by the Landlord.


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

12.3 If the Tenant is an entity other than an individual, the transfer of an interest in more than fifty percent (50%) of such entity (or in more than fifty percent (50%) of any type of equity security of such entity, i.e., preferred stock, any class of common stock) shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section, which assignment shall require the same approval and be subject to the same limitations pursuant to Section 12.2 as any other assignment. The rights and obligations described in this Section 12.3 shall be applicable regardless of whether the change in control occurs at one time or as a cumulative result of several changes in ownership. The Tenant shall, upon request of the Landlord, make available to the Landlord for inspection or copying or both, all books and records of the Tenant which alone or with other data show the applicability or inapplicability of this Section 12.3.

12.4 The proposed subtenant or assignee shall have at least three (3) years of experience in the management and/or operation of the business contemplated in the sublease or assignment of the Premises. Tenant shall provide satisfactory evidence of this experience to the Landlord. Or, in lieu of such actual experience, the proposed subtenant or assignee shall provide satisfactory evidence to Landlord that the proposed subtenant or assignee will hire as employees or independent contractors personnel competent to operate the business contemplated in the sublease or assignment of the Premises.

12.5 If any interest holder of the Tenant shall fail or refuse to furnish to the Landlord information or data requested by Landlord, verified by the affidavit of such interest holder or other credible person under Section 12.3 above, then such failure shall constitute an event of default under this Lease.

12.6 If Tenant desires to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant shall offer Landlord the right to recapture any excess rent represented by the difference between the per-square-foot rental for the space then applicable pursuant to this Lease and the rental which Tenant proposes to obtain for the Leased Premises. Landlord, upon receipt of such notice, shall have the option, to be exercised within twenty (20) days from the date of the receipt of such notice, to recapture the excess rent or to terminate this Lease with the right to sublease to others, or anyone designated by Landlord. If Landlord exercises the option to terminate, Tenant shall be released of all further liability hereunder, from and after the effective date of such termination with respect to the Premises included therein. If Landlord does not exercise such option within such time, Tenant may thereafter assign this Lease or sublet the Premises involved, provided Landlord, pursuant to Section 12, consents thereto, but not later than ninety (90) days after delivery of the aforesaid notice unless a further notice is given.

13. MASTER DECLARATION OF PROTECTIVE COVENANTS

Tenant and employees and all persons visiting or doing business with the Tenant in the Leased Premises shall be bound by and shall observe the Master Declaration of Protective Covenants, if any.

14. USE OF LEASED PREMISES

14.1 Except as expressly permitted by prior written consent of the Landlord, the Leased Premises shall not be used other than as set forth on Lease Agreement Facing Page of this Lease, which use shall be non-exclusive. Tenant shall not engage in any activity which breaches the covenant of quiet enjoyment of any other tenant of Landlord. Landlord, in its sole discretion, may evict Tenant for breach of this provision. Landlord makes no representation or warranty to the Tenant regarding the occupancy or use of any lease space owned by the Landlord or leased to any other tenant. All use of the Leased Premises shall comply with the terms of this Lease and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or other governmental ordinances from time to time in existence. Tenant shall not have more than one (1) person per two hundred and fifty (250) square feet of useable space occupying the premises.


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

14.2 Tenant agrees that it will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Leased Premises any articles which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force time to time covering the Building. In the event the Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Leased Premises, whether or not the Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance carried from time to time by the Landlord with respect to the Building, the Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as Additional Rental within ten (10) days after bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by the Landlord in determining whether increased premiums are a result of the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises. A schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. The Tenant shall comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Leased Premises.

15. TENANT’S INSURANCE

15.1 Tenant shall maintain at its expense, in an amount equal to full replacement costs, fire and extended coverage insurance on all of its personal property, including removable trade fixtures, located in the Leased Premises. Tenant shall provide a Schedule of Personal Property to Landlord. Tenant shall make no claim of ownership for any personal property not appearing on the Schedule of Personal Property. Tenant shall maintain insurance coverage for business interruption, including relocation costs in the event of partial or total destruction of the Premises. In the event Tenant’s insurance coverage required by this Section is inadequate, Tenant shall bear all loss associated with the inadequacy, and Tenant shall make no claim against the insurance coverage of the Landlord. Tenant shall carry its own insurance on any boiler owned or installed by Tenant. All of Tenant’s insurance must be in place and proof of insurance provided to Landlord prior to Tenant’s possession of the Premises. Should Tenant’s use cause the Landlord’s insurance premiums to increase, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the increase in the premium.

15.2 Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain through the term of this Lease, comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury or death and property damage occurring in or upon or resulting from the Leased Premises, in standard form and with such insurance company or companies as may be acceptable to Landlord, such insurance to afford immediate protection, to the limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 in respect of any one accident or occurrence, and to the limit of not less than $100,000.00 for property damage, with not more than $5,000.00 deductible. Such comprehensive general liability insurance shall name the Landlord as an additional insured and shall contain blanket contractual liability coverage which insures contractual liability under the indemnification of Landlord by Tenant set forth in this Lease (but such coverage or the amount thereof shall in no way limit such indemnification). Tenant shall maintain with respect to each policy or agreement evidencing such comprehensive general liability insurance and each policy or agreement evidencing the insurance required pursuant to Section 15(1) above, such endorsements as may be required by Landlord and shall at all times deliver to and maintain with Landlord a certificate with respect to such insurance in form satisfactory to Landlord and the mortgagees of Landlord. Tenant shall obtain a written obligation on the part of each insurance company to notify Landlord at least ten days prior to cancellation or modification of such insurance. Such policies or duly executed certificates of insurance relating thereto shall be promptly delivered to Landlord and renewals thereof as required shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the respective policy terms. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing requirements relating to insurance, Landlord may obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the premium cost thereof, together with interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Failure to comply with any provision of Paragraph 15 by the Tenant shall constitute an event of substantial default justifying eviction of the Tenant.

Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

other charges hereunder have been paid, and whether or not there is any existing default on the part of the Landlord of which the Tenant has knowledge and such other information reasonably required by Landlord or its mortgagees or any other party with whom Landlord is dealing. Any such statement may be relied upon conclusively by any such party. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statements within such time shall be conclusive upon the Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, except as and to the extent any modification has been represented by Landlord, and that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance. Tenant grants power of attorney to Landlord to execute an estoppel certificate on Tenant’s behalf in the event Tenant fails to deliver one as set forth herein.

LANDLORD’S COVENANTS

Landlord covenants and agrees with the Tenant as follows:

28. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying rent and other monetary sums due under the lease, performing its covenants and conditions under the Lease, including the covenant not to disturb other tenants, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term, subject, however, to the terms and limitations of the Lease and of any of the ground leases, mortgages, or deeds of trust referred to in Section 25, and the limitations of Landlord’s liability for acts of other tenants and third parties contained in Sections 18 and 33.

29. SERVICES

29.1 Landlord agrees to provide, at its cost, utility services such as electrical, gas, water and sewer, HVAC services (such as heating, ventilation and cooling), and telephone connections to the Building in such capacity as shall be sufficient to meet building design requirements. Tenant shall be responsible for assessing its needs and arranging for procurement of additional services to meet its needs prior to occupancy. In this regard, Tenant represents that it has no requirements in excess of those provided in the building design for utility services and telephone and other telecommunications capacity relating to the operations that Tenant intends to conduct in the Leased Premises as permitted in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Unless otherwise treated as part of the Tenant Finish items to be installed as part of this Lease, all connection charges and all outlets, risers, wiring, piping, duct work or other means of distribution of such services within the Leased Premises unless shown on the Exhibits hereto shall be supplied by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of any such services shall never exceed the capacity of the mains, feeders, ducts, and conduits bringing the utility services to the Building; provided, however, that Tenant may increase the capacity of the mains, feeders, ducts and conduits aforementioned if Tenant pays for and performs all necessary work therefore subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord’s responsibility ends with bringing the above services in the first sentence of this subsection to the Building. Tenant shall pay for anything else. Tenant shall pay all charges incurred by it for any utility services consumed on the Leased Premises and any maintenance charges for utilities and shall furnish all ballasts, electric light bulbs and tubes. Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure of utility services on the Leased Premises, unless due to the affirmative or actions of Landlord.

29.2 Provided that the Tenant has no special or extraordinary requirements, the Landlord shall contract to provide air conditioning and heating for the occupied portion of the Leased Premises during the Term, at such temperatures and in such amounts as may be reasonably required, in the Landlord’s sole judgment, for comfortable use and occupancy under normal office conditions, everyday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tenant shall pay for the costs of


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

said climate control services under Paragraph 7.1.c. or Paragraph 11 as may be applicable. In the event the Tenant has special requirements for air conditioning and heating, Tenant shall pay for the cost to provide air conditioning and heating at such temperatures and in such amounts as may be reasonably required as an alteration under Section 21 of the Lease. Alternatively, at Landlord’s sole discretion, the Landlord may treat said costs as Operating Costs under Section 7.1(c) of the Lease.

29.3 No slowdown, interruption, stoppage, or malfunction of any services identified in Section 29 shall constitute an eviction or disturbance of the Tenant’s use and possession of the Leased Premises or the Building or a breach by the Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease, nor render the Landlord liable for damages or entitle the Tenant to be relieved from any of its obligations under this Lease (including the obligation to pay Rent), nor grant the Tenant any right of setoff or recoupment. In no event shall the Landlord be liable for damages to persons or property, or be in default under this Lease, as a result of such slowdown, interruption, stoppage, or malfunction. In the event of any such interruption, however, the Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to restore such service. The Tenant agrees that if any payment of Rent shall remain unpaid for more than ten (10) days after it shall become due, the Landlord may, without notice to the Tenant, discontinue furnishing any or all of such services until all arrearages of Rent have been paid in full, and the Landlord shall not be liable for damages to persons or property for any such discontinuance or consequential damages resulting therefrom, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as an eviction or constructive eviction of the Tenant or cause an abatement of Rent or operate to release the Tenant from any of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

30. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD

Subject to the other provisions of this Lease imposing obligations for repair and maintenance upon the Tenant, including but not limited to Tenant Repair and Maintenance in Section 11, the Landlord shall as necessary or when required by governmental authority, repair, replace and maintain the external and structural parts of the Building, to include the roof provided that the roof has not been penetrated by Tenant, and grounds which do not comprise a part of the Leased Premises and are not leased to others and shall perform such repairs, replacements and maintenance with reasonable dispatch, in a good and workmanlike manner. The Landlord shall not be liable for any damages direct or indirect or consequential or for damages for personal discomfort, illness, or inconvenience of the Tenant or the Tenant’s servants, clerks, employees, invitees, or other persons by reason of failure to repair such equipment facilities or systems or reasonable delays in the performance of such repairs, replacements, and maintenance, unless caused by the deliberate act or omissions or the negligence of the Landlord, its servants, agents or employees.

31. LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

31.1 Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the Building and the Leased Premises in such amounts as Landlord shall deem reasonable. Such insurance shall be maintained at the expense of Landlord (but assessed to Tenant as a part of the Operational Costs), and payments for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord as their interest shall appear.

31.2 If the Building shall be partially damaged by fire or other cause not resulting from the act or omission of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, customers, licensees or invitees, the damages shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord, and the Rent due hereunder shall be apportioned according to the part of the Leased Premises which is usable by Tenant until such repairs are made. If such partial damage is due to the action or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, or Tenant’s customers or invitees who Tenant negligently leaves in a position to cause such partial damage, there shall be no apportionment or abatement of Rent due hereunder by Tenant, and the debris, if any, shall be removed by and at the expense of Tenant. No penalty shall accrue for reasonable delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Landlord or Tenant, for


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

reasonable delay on account of shortages of labor or materials, acts of God, or any other cause beyond Landlord’s control. Landlord shall not be obligated to restore fixtures, improvements, or other property of Tenant.

31.3 Insurance claims shall be file at the sole discretion of the Landlord.

31.4. If the Building should be totally destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty, or if it should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs to the Leased Premises cannot be completed or commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date upon which Tenant is notified by Landlord of such damage (or within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which Landlord otherwise becomes aware of such damage), this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the above termination provisions, the one hundred eighty day period for completion of repairs or rebuilding may be extended by the Landlord in its sole discretion in the event that the processing of insurance claim or claims prevents the completion of rebuilding or repairs within one hundred eighty days.

32. CONDEMNATION

If all or any part of or interest in the Leased Premises shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking. If a part of or interest in the Leased Premises, or if a substantial portion of the Building is so taken, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Leased Premises by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of taking; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Leased Premises or Building taken shall be of such extent and nature as to substantially handicap, impede, or impair Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, or the balance of the Leased Premises remaining, for the purposes for which they were leased. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent and awards with respect thereto except for an award, if any, specified by the condemning authority for the fixtures and other property that Tenant has the right to remove upon termination of this Lease and the value of the unexpired Lease Term if any. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term. In the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Rent thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. Termination as provided herein with respect to a total or partial taking shall be without prejudice to the rights of either Landlord or Tenant to recover compensation and damages caused by condemnation from the condemner as hereinafter provided. The rights and obligations by Landlord and Tenant with respect to a taking or partial taking shall be provided herein (any statute, principle of law or rule of equity to the contrary notwithstanding), and each of the parties agree to cooperate with the other and to do everything necessary to effect the results herein described. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to claim separate awards consistent with the terms of this Lease or to litigate the matter of the taking and damages or awards. In the event of a taking or partial taking during the Term of the Lease, all sums awarded as compensation for the loss or damage to the property or the Building, fixtures and permanently attached equipment, except as set forth above, shall be awarded to Landlord; and all sums awarded as compensation for loss or damage to Tenant’s equipment and other personal property and as compensation for loss of or detriment to the business of Tenant upon the Leased Premises and for loss of anticipated profits of such business shall be awarded to Tenant. If, under the laws, rules or procedures regulating any such taking or partial taking, it shall not be possible for the parties to obtain in such proceedings segregation of awards as herein above prescribed, then the entire award or the aggregate of the awards as may be adjudged shall be paid to Landlord. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph are subject to the terms of any deed of trust conveying the Leased Premises, the Building, or Real Property now or hereafter in existence, and to which Landlord is a party.


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

33. LOSS AND DAMAGE

34. DELAYS

Whenever and to the extent that the Landlord shall be unable to fulfill or shall be delayed or restricted in the fulfillment of any obligation hereunder in respect to the supply or provision of any service or utility or the doing of any work, or the making of any repairs by reason of being unable to obtain the material goods, equipment, service, utility, insurance proceeds or labor required to enable it to fulfill such obligation or by reason of any statute, law, or any regulation or order passed or made pursuant thereto or by reason of the order passed or made pursuant thereto or by reason of the order of direction of any administrator, controller, or board or any governmental department or officer or other authority, or by reason of not being able to obtain any permission or authority required thereby or by reason of any other cause beyond its control whether of the foregoing character or not, including any delay caused by the processing of insurance claims, the Landlord shall be entitled to extend the time for fulfillment of such obligation by a time equal to the duration of such delay or restriction, and the Tenant shall not be entitled to compensation for any inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort thereby occasioned.

35.2 No condoning, excusing, or overlooking by the Landlord of any default, breach or non-observance by the Tenant at any time or times in respect of any covenants, provisions, or conditions herein contained shall operate as a waiver of the Landlord’s right hereunder in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach, or non-observance, or so as to defeat or affect such continuing or subsequent default or breach, and no waiver shall be inferred or implied by anything done or omitted by the Landlord save only express waiver in writing.

(iv) the amount of Rent that would have been payable hereunder if the Lease had not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, received by the Landlord from any reletting of the Leased Premises, after deducting all costs incurred by the Landlord in finding a new tenant and reletting the space, including costs of remodeling and refinishing space for a new tenant, reasonable tenant inducements, reasonable brokerage commissions or agents’ commissions in connection therewith, redecorating costs, attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incident to the reletting of the Leased Premises (collectively referred to herein as “Reletting Costs”); provided, however, that the Landlord shall have no obligation to relet or attempt to relet the Leased Premises. The Tenant shall pay such damages to the Landlord on the days on which the Rent would have been payable if the Lease had not terminated; or

(v) the present value (discounted at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum) on the balance of the Rent for the remainder of the stated Term of this Lease after the termination date plus anticipated Reletting Costs, Less the present value (discounted at the same rate) of the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for such period. No provision of this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of the Landlord to prove and obtain as damages by reason of any termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to or less than the amounts referred to above.

(b) The Landlord may, without demand or notice of any kind to the Tenant, terminate the Tenant’s right of possession (but not the Lease) and re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and repossess the same as of the Landlord’s former estate and expel the Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant, and remove the effects of any and all such persons (forcibly, if necessary) and change the locks on the Leased Premises without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent of preceding breach of covenants and without terminating this Lease or otherwise relieving the Tenant of any obligation hereunder. Should the Landlord elect to re-enter as provided in this Section 36.1(b), or should the Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, the Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals, and upon such other conditions as the Landlord may in its absolute discretion deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises. No such re-entry, repossession or reletting of the Leased Premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on the Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of termination is given to the Tenant by the Landlord. No such re-entry, repossession or reletting of the Leased Premises shall relieve the Tenant of its liability and obligation under this Lease, all of which shall survive such re-entry, repossession or reletting. Upon the occurrence of such re-entry or repossession, the Landlord shall be entitled to the amount of the monthly Rent which would be payable hereunder if such re-entry or repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises after deducting all Reletting Costs and all attorneys’ fees, other costs and expenses incurred in the re-entry, repossession and reletting procedures. The Tenant shall pay such amount to the Landlord on the days on which the Rent or any other sums due hereunder would have been payable hereunder if possession had not been retaken. In no event shall the Tenant be entitled to receive the excess, if any, of net Rent collected by the Landlord as a result of such reletting over the sums payable by the Tenant to the Landlord hereunder. If this Lease is terminated by operation of law as a result of the Landlord’s actions under this Section, then the Landlord shall be entitled to recover damages from the Tenant as provided in Section 36.1(a). The Landlord shall have the right to collect from the


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

Tenant amounts equal to such deficiencies and damages provided for above by suits or proceedings brought from time to time on one or more occasions without the Landlord being obligated to wait until the expiration of the term of this Lease.

(c) In the event Landlord gives Tenant notice of default or delivers to Tenant a Notice of Demand for Payment or Possession pursuant to the applicable statute, any such notice will not constitute an election to terminate the Lease unless Landlord expressly states in any such notice that it is exercising its rights to terminate the Lease.

(d) If the Tenant shall default in making any payment required to be made by the Tenant (other than payments of Rent) or shall default in performing any other obligations of the Tenant under this Lease, the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or, on behalf of the Tenant, expend such sum as may be necessary to perform such obligation. All sums so expended by the Landlord with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 36.1(g) shall be repaid by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand. No such payment or expenditure by the Landlord shall be deemed a waiver of the Tenant’s default nor shall it affect any other remedy of the Landlord by reason of such default.

(e) If the Tenant shall default in making payment of any Rent due under this Lease, the Landlord may charge and the Tenant shall pay, upon demand, interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 36.1(g), but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by the Tenant under this Lease. In addition to such interest, the Tenant shall be responsible for the late charges set forth in Section 36.3. Such interest and late payment penalties are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any or all of the Landlord’s rights or remedies under any other provisions of this Lease.

(f) In any action of unlawful detainer commenced by the Landlord against the Tenant by reason of any default hereunder, the reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the Period of the unlawful detainer shall be deemed to be the amount of Rent reserved in this Lease for such period.

(g) Whenever the Tenant shall be required to make payment to the Landlord of any sum with interest, interest on such sum shall be computed from the date such sum is due until paid, at an interest rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum or, if such amount violates any then applicable law with respect to interest rates, at the highest interest rate otherwise allowable under then applicable law. Should Tenant be in default, Landlord may collect 18% interest under this provision or $50.00 per day penalty under Paragraph 4, whichever is greater.

(h) In addition to any damages described as being collectable herein, damages will also include, in all cases, the unamortized portion of any costs, expenses, or inducements provided by the Landlord to the Tenant in connection with this Lease. Such expenses include, without limitation, any tenant inducements paid directly to the Tenant, expenses incurred in providing tenant improvements or other similar improvements to the Leased Premises, and free rent periods or reduced rent periods granted to the Tenant. All such expenses will be amortized over the Term (or initial term, if applicable) of the Lease and will be prorated in proportion to the total amount of time of the Term of the Lease as compared to the time during which the Tenant performed under the Lease without default.

(i) As used in this Lease, the terms “re-entry”, “take possession”, “repossess” and “repossession” are not restricted to their technical legal meaning.

(j) Tenant hereby expressly waives, to the full extent waivable, any and all right of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

36.2 As additional security for the Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease, the Tenant hereby grants to the Landlord a security interest in and to all of the personal property of Tenant situated on the Leased Premises, subject to a perfected purchase money security interest and prior existing security interests, as security for the payment of all Rent and other sums due, or to become due, under this Lease. Tenant shall execute such documents as the Landlord may reasonably require to evidence the Landlord’s security interest in such personal property. If the Tenant is in default under this Lease, such personal property shall not be removed from the Leased Premises (except to the extent such property is replaced with an item of equal or greater value) without the prior written consent of the Landlord. It is intended by the parties hereto that the instrument shall have the effect of a security agreement covering such personal property, and the Landlord may upon the occurrence of an event of default set forth in Section 35.1 exercise any rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Colorado including the right to take possession of such personal property and (after ten (10) days notice to those parties required by statute to be notified) to sell the same for the best price that can be obtained at public or private sale and out of the money derived therefrom, pay the amount due the Landlord, and all costs arising out of the execution of the provisions of this Section, paying the surplus, if any, to the Tenant. If such personal property or any portion thereof shall be offered at a public sale, the Landlord may become the purchaser thereof.

36.3 As part of the consideration for the Landlord’s executing this Lease, Tenant hereby waives a trial by jury and the right to interpose any counterclaim or offset of any nature or description in any litigation between the Tenant and Landlord with respect to this Lease, the Leased Premises and the repossession hereof.

36.4 Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Real Property. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and remedies granted hereunder.

37. END OF TERM

37.1 Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, the Tenant shall vacate and surrender to the Landlord the Leased Premises, broom clean condition, carpets professionally cleaned, dry wall repaired and in good order. The Tenant shall remove all property of the Tenant as set forth in Section 21.6, as directed by the Landlord. Any property left on the Leased Premises at the expiration or other termination of this Lease, or after the occurrence of any default as set forth in Section 35, may at the option of the Landlord either be deemed abandoned or be placed in storage at a public warehouse in the name of and for the account of and at the expense and risk of the Tenant. If such property is not claimed by the Tenant within ten (10) days after such expiration, termination or the happening of an event of default, it may be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Landlord without further notice. The Tenant expressly releases the Landlord from any and all claims and liability for damage to or loss of property left by the Tenant upon the Leased Premises at the expiration or other termination of this Lease, and the Tenant hereby indemnifies the Landlord against any and all claims and liability with respect thereto.

37.2 If the Tenant shall continue to occupy and continue to pay rent for the Leased Premises after the expiration of this Lease with or without the consent of the Landlord, and without any further written agreement, the Tenant shall be a tenant from month to month at a


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

monthly Base Rent equal to the last full monthly Base Rent payment due hereunder times 1.5, and subject to all of the additional rentals, terms, and conditions herein set out except as to expiration of the Lease Term.

38. TRANSFER BY LANDLORD

In the event of a sale or other transfer by the Landlord of the Building or a portion thereof containing the Leased Premises (including a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure), the Landlord shall without further written agreement be freed, released and relieved of all liability or obligations under this Lease. The rights of Landlord under this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale, lease or other transfer.

39. NOTICE

39.1 Any notice, request, statement, or other writing pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to have been given if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the party at the address stated on the Lease Agreement Facing Page of this Lease.

39.2 Notice shall also be sufficiently given if and when the same shall be delivered, in the case of notice to Landlord, to an executive officer of the Landlord, or the managing agent, and in the case of notice to the Tenant or the Guarantor of the Tenant, to the Leased Premises. Such notice, if delivered, shall be conclusively deemed to have been given and received at the time of such delivery. If in this Lease two or more persons are named as Tenant, such notice shall also be sufficiently given if and when the same shall be delivered personally to any one of such persons.

39.3 Any party may, by notice to the other, from time to time designate another address in the United States or Canada to which notice mailed more than ten (10) days thereafter shall be addressed.

40. GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND COMMENCEMENT OF ACTION

40.1 This Lease shall be deemed to have been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of El Paso County in the State of Colorado. Venue shall be in El Paso County in the State of Colorado.

40.2 Any claim, demand, right, or defense by Tenant that arises out of this Lease or the negotiations that preceded this Lease shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes a defense by reason thereof, within six (6) months after the date of the inaction, omission, event, or action that gave rise to such claim, demand, right, or defense.

40.3 Tenant acknowledges and understands, after having consulted with its legal counsel, that the purpose of Paragraph 40.2 above is to shorten the period within which Tenant would otherwise have to raise such claims, demands, rights, or defenses under applicable laws.

41. PAYMENT IN UNITED STATES CURRENCY/CERTIFIED FUNDS

The rentals reserved herein and all other amounts required to be paid or payable under the provisions of this Lease shall be paid in lawful money of the United States. No electronic transfers shall be accepted. Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to require that Rental and all other sums due by Tenant be paid in certified funds.

42. LEASE ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The Tenant acknowledges that there are no covenants, representations, warranties, agreements, or conditions expressed or implied, collateral or otherwise forming part of or in any way affecting or relating to this Lease save expressly set out in this Lease, the Lease Agreement Facing Page, Exhibits, Riders, and Schedules attached hereto and that this Lease, the Lease


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

Agreement Facing Page, Exhibits, Riders, and Schedules attached hereto and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by Landlord in accordance with Section 13 hereof constitute the entire agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant and may not be amended or modified except as explicitly provided or except by subsequent agreement in writing of equal formality hereto executed by the party to be charged therewith. The Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has provided review of and input to this Lease, and therefore agrees that this Lease has been jointly drafted by Landlord and Tenant.

43. BINDING EFFECT

Except as expressly provided herein, this indenture shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all covenants and agreements herein contained to be observed and performed by the Tenant shall be joint and several.

44. SECURITY DEPOSIT

The Tenant shall keep on deposit with the Landlord at all times during the term of this Lease the Security Deposit specified on the Lease Lease Agreement Facing Page hereof as security for the payment by the Tenant of the Rent and any other sums due under this Lease and for the faithful performance of all the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Lease, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the case of default by Tenant. Security Deposit is due in full prior to Tenant’s possession of the Premises. Any interest earned on the Security Deposit shall be retained by Landlord. If an event of a default set forth in Section 35.1 occurs, the Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use any such deposit, or so much thereof as necessary in payment of any Rent or any other sums due under this Lease in default, in reimbursement of any expense incurred by the Landlord, and to repair any damage or to clean, paint, carpet and fumigate the Leased Premises after termination of possession by Tenant. In such event the Tenant shall on written demand of the Landlord forthwith remit to the Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore such deposit to its original amount. If such deposit has not been utilized as aforesaid, such deposit, or as much thereof as has not been utilized for such purposes, shall be refunded to the Tenant upon full performance of this Lease by the Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to commingle such deposit with other funds of the Landlord, and such deposit need not be kept in an escrow or other segregated account. Landlord shall deliver the funds deposited herein by the Tenant to any purchaser of the Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises in the event such interest be sold, and thereupon, the Landlord shall be discharged from further liability with respect to such deposit.

45. INTERPRETATION

Time shall be of the essence in all respects hereunder.

48. RECORDING—SHORT FORM MEMO

No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due of any installment or payment of Rent or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord with respect to any existing Defaults. None of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease can be waived by either Landlord or Tenant except by appropriate written instrument.

49.2 If any act or omission by the Landlord shall occur which would give the Tenant the right to damages from the Landlord or the right to terminate this Lease by reason of a constructive or actual eviction from all or part of the Lease Premises or otherwise, the Tenant shall not sue for such damages or exercise any such right to terminate until (i) it shall have given written notice of such act or omission to the Landlord and to the holder(s) of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Leased Premises or the Real Property, if the name and address of such holder(s) shall previously have been furnished to the Tenant, and (ii) a reasonable period of time for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, during which time the Landlord and such holder(s), or either of them, their agents or employees, shall be entitled to enter upon the Leased Premises and do therein whatever may be necessary to remedy such act or omission.

The Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord and its officers, shareholders, directors, partners, employees, and agents harmless from any claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of claims), losses or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, reasonable consultant fees, and reasonable expert fees, which are incurred or arise during or after the term of this Lease from or in any way connected with the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the soil, groundwater, surface water, air or soil vapor in, on under or about the Leased Premises arising out of the use of the Leased Premises by the Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, invitees, or contractors.

51.4 The foregoing provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Lease.

52. DISABILITIES LAWS

52.1 Disabilities Laws as used herein shall include the Americans with Disabilities Act and any state, county or local laws, statutes, or ordinances applicable to the Leased Premises, the Tenant’s business or the activities of the Tenant in or about the Leased Premises. Disabilities Laws shall also include any amendments thereto, regulations or court decisions interpreting such laws.

what barrier removal is readily achievable and shall comply with alternative and new construction requirements of Disability Laws. Tenant shall bear the sole cost and expense of determining compliance. To the extent Tenant determines that compliance may require alteration or future construction on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord and shall obtain Landlord’s consent to such alteration in advance. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold consent to reasonable alterations to be made by Tenant in order to comply with the provisions of such Disabilities Laws. In addition to any other reasonable requirements of Landlord for granting such consent, Landlord’s consent may be conditioned upon Tenant providing adequate assurances of the proper completion of such alterations and payment therefor, and that the alterations be in conformity to the aesthetic style and future expansion plans for the Building.

Should Landlord incur any additional costs as a result of Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises and obligations under Disability Laws, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs.

52.3 Any costs incurred by Landlord in complying with Disabilities Laws shall be considered a Common Area Maintenance charge, and Tenant shall pay his pro-rata share of such charge pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 51 of this Lease.

52.4 Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord and agrees to defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), expenses and claims of any and every kind whatsoever caused by Tenant or any of its subtenants, permittees, agents or representatives, which at any time or from time to time may be paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, Landlord for, with respect to or as a direct or indirect result of, Tenant’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph 35.1(b) above including, without limitation, any losses resulting from a diminution in the value of the Building and any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Disabilities Laws.

52.5 Tenant covenants and agrees that: (i) Tenant will comply with any reasonable requirements of Landlord and any mortgagee from time to time to implement or facilitate the administration or enforcement of any or all of the provisions of this Section; (ii) Tenant will certify annually, if so requested by Landlord that it is in compliance with all Disabilities Laws; and (iii) Tenant will cause every sublease and concession agreement to contain provisions substantially the same as those in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) and expressly state that they are for the benefit of and may be enforced by Landlord and any mortgagee (in addition to any other person Tenant may desire to name therein).

52.6 Tenant’s liability for the undertakings and indemnifications set out in this Section 52 shall survive the Termination or expiration of this Lease. The provisions of this Section shall govern and control over any inconsistent provisions of this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord (or any of its affiliates) and Tenant.

Tenant shall be responsible for locking and keeping the Leased Premises secure, as well as locking any outside door to the building in which the Leased Premises are located upon entering or leaving the building.

THIS LEASE GUARANTY is attached to and made a part of the Lease referenced above, and is in effect as of the date it is signed. To induce the Landlord to enter into, to waive a default under, or to extend or renew the term of the Lease, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.	~~The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Landlord,~~

~~to make due and punctual payment of all rent, monies, and charges payable under the Lease during the Term thereof and all renewals thereof:~~

to effect prompt and complete performance of all and each of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions in the Lease required on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed and performed during the period of the Term and any renewals thereof; and


Benson-Price Commercial, Inc.		LLJG/TSJC

to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord from any loss, attorney’s fees, costs or damages arising out of any failure to pay the aforesaid rent, monies, and charges or the failure to perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease.

2.	~~In the event of a default under the Lease, the Guarantor waives any right to require the Landlord to:~~

~~proceed against the Tenant or pursue any rights or remedies with respect to the Lease;~~

~~proceed against or exhaust any security of the Tenant held by the Landlord; or~~

~~pursue any other remedy whatsoever in the Landlord’s power.~~

The Landlord shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty regardless of the acceptance of additional security from the Tenant and regardless of the release or discharge of the Tenant or any other Guarantor of the Lease by the Landlord or by others, or by operation of any law or the amendment or modification of any terms of the Lease, to which the Guarantor gives the Tenant the express authority to consent on behalf of the Guarantor.

3. The Guarantor hereby expressly waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and all notice of non-performance, non-payment or non-observance on the part of the Tenant of the terms, covenants or conditions and provisions of the Lease.

4. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be deemed to have been waived, released, discharged, impaired or affected by reason of the release or discharge of the Tenant in any receivership, bankruptcy, winding-up or other creditor proceedings or the rejection, disaffirmance or disclaimer of the Lease by any party, and shall continue with respect to the periods prior thereto and thereafter, for and with respect to the Term originally contemplated and expressed in the Lease. The liability of the Guarantor shall not be affected by any repossession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord, the extension by Landlord of time for the payment by Tenant of any sums owing or payable under the Lease, the assignment or subletting of the Leased Premises or the waiver, failure, omission or delay of Landlord to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy.

~~5. Guarantor shall pay all costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs, incurred by Landlord in enforcing Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.~~

6. This Guaranty shall be one of payment and performance and not of collection. Notwithstanding the use of the word “indemnity” or “guaranty”, each guarantor or indemnitor shall be jointly and severally liable under this and any other guaranty of the Lease.

~~7. The Guarantor shall, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, be bound by this Guaranty in the same manner as though the Guarantor were the Tenant named in the Lease.~~

8. All of the terms, agreements and conditions of this Guaranty shall extend to and be binding upon the Guarantor, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Landlord, its successors and assigns, and the holder of any mortgage to which the Lease may be subject.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Guaranty to be duly executed as of the Guaranty Date first above written.
