ARTICLE 2
GRANT

        2.1    Protect.    The Project consists of the real property and those buildings and improvements shown on the site plan ("Site Plan") attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and constructed or to be constructed on the real property. The Site Plan sets forth the general layout of the Project and the approximate location of the Building and the Premises within the Project, but is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a warranty, representation, or agreement of any kind on the part of Landlord. Landlord reserves the right, for itself and for the underlying Lessor, if any, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without altering in any way Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to (i) change the tenant mix of the Project without prior notice, (ii) increase, reduce, or change the size, height, or layout of the Project or any part thereof, including without limitation the right not to construct any proposed improvements or portion of the Project which may or may not be shown on the Site Plan and the right to change the parking plan, and/or parking ratios (provided however, the Tenant's parking ratio shall not be changed without the Tenant's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) or to construct new buildings and structures in the Project and to remove and replace existing buildings, tenants and structures in the Project, and (iii) make alterations to and build additional stories on the building in which the Premises are located, and to construct other buildings and improvements in the Project, including any modifications of the Common Area (as hereafter defined). Tenant hereby consents to the exercise by Landlord of the rights set forth in this paragraph and agrees that the exercise of such rights by Landlord or by the underlying lessor, if any, shall not diminish Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the above to the contrary, no changes to the Project shall: (a) materially affect the conduct of the Tenant's business therein; or, (b) impose any additional obligations on, or restrict the rights of, the Tenant.

        2.2    Premises.    Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises described in Section 1.6 for the Term (as defined in Article 3) and pursuant to all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein. The Premises are being leased to Tenant subject to covenants, restrictions and easements of record. Landlord reserves the right to use the exterior walls, floor, and roof in, above and below the Premises, and retains the right to install, maintain, use, repair, and replace structural elements and utility equipment, including, but not limited to, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant fixtures in, under, over, and through the Premises, in locations that will not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant agree that the square footage of the Premises is subject to verification by Landlord's architect or space planner. The square footage of the Premises shall be determined in accordance with the Standard Building Owners and Manager's Association ANSI-Z65.1 (1996). If the amount of rentable square footage of the Premises shall differ from the approximate amount set forth in Section 1.6 of this Lease, then the Base Rent, Security Deposit, Tenant's Prorate Share, and any other amounts and percentages appearing in this Lease, which are based upon the square footage of the Premises, shall be proportionately adjusted. Upon determination of the square footage of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the same in a written amendment to this Lease.

        2.3    Common Area.    The term "Common Area" means without limitation parking areas (Including parking decks), roadways, pedestrian sidewalks, truckways, loading docks for use by more than one tenant, delivery areas, landscaped areas, roofs, elevators and escalators and stairs not contained in leased areas, service, fire and exit corridors, passageways, common restrooms and all of the areas or improvements which may, at the commencement of the Term hereof and at any time during the Term, be provided upon the Project/Building, for the convenience and use of the tenants of the Project and their respective subtenants, agents, employees, customers, invitees and any other licensees of Landlord. All Common Areas and facilities which Tenant may be permitted to use and occupy for Tenant's purposes, shall be used and occupied under a revocable license for the term of this Lease.

ARTICLE 3
TERM

        3.1    Term.    The Term of the Lease ("Term") shall commence upon the Lease Commencement Date and shall expire, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Lease, upon the Expiration Date. Following the Lease Commencement Date, upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a "Memorandum of Lease Commencement" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C", which shall specify the Lease Commencement Date and the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to so execute or deliver a Memorandum of Rent Commencement, such failure shall not affect Tenant's obligation to commence paying rent upon the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date. If the Lease Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the monthly installment of Base Rent for the first fractional month shall be equal to one-thirtieth (1/30) of the monthly installment of Base Rent for each day from the Lease Commencement Date to the end of the partial month.

        3.2    Holding Over.    This Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the Expiration Date and any holding over by Tenant after the Expiration Date shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease, or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when signed in writing, by both parties. If Tenant holds over for any period after the Expiration Date (or earlier termination) of the term, Landlord may, at its option, treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance only, commencing on the first (1st) day following the termination of this Lease and subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the monthly Base Rent shall be one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the last monthly rental installment.

        If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender provided that Tenant has received sixty (60) days advance notice of any succeeding tenant. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after the termination shall not constitute a consent to a holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord's right to re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or at law.

ARTICLE 4
POSSESSION

        4.1    Delivery of Possession.    If for any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Lease Commencement Date as set forth in Section 1.8 above, Landlord and Tenant agree to execute a written addendum to this Lease within ten (10) days of Delivery of Possession extending the Expiration Date for the length of the delay. Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for such failure to deliver possession and the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired, but Base Rent shall be abated until Delivery of Possession; except that if Landlord's failure to so deliver possession on the Lease Commencement Date is attributable to: (i) Tenant's delays in the reasonable approval or preparation of plans and specifications for improvements, (ii) unreasonable delays caused by the Tenant's contractors or agents in performing services for which Tenant is responsible, or (iii) Tenant's negligence or willful misconduct ("Tenant Delays"), then Landlord shall be entitled to full performance by Tenant (including the payment of all forms of rent) from the Lease Commencement Date. "Delivery of Possession" shall be deemed to occur on the date Landlord substantially completes Landlord's Work as set forth in Exhibit "D" hereto. If Landlord permits Tenant to enter into possession of the Premises before the Lease Commencement Date, such possession shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease. By entry hereunder, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises (except for minor items of work and minor adjustments that can be completed after occupancy of the Premises without causing undue interference with Tenant's reasonable use of the Premises [i.e., so called "punchlist" items]) as being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal,

6


county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises and any covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto as to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to complete the punchlist Items as quickly as reasonably possible. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord's agent has made any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant shall have access to the Building through all public entrances during the Building Hours. After Building Hours Tenant shall be allowed access through those entrances designated by the Landlord as after-hour entrances by means of cards or keys provided by Landlord for such purpose.

ARTICLE 5
CONSTRUCTION

        5.1    Tenant's Construction.    Tenant shall commence the installation of fixtures, equipment and any other Tenant's Work as set forth in Exhibits "D," if any, promptly upon substantial completion of Landlord's Work and Tenant shall diligently pursue such installation and work to completion. All of Tenant's Work shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense pursuant to plans and specifications which meet Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant shall provide its own trash container(s) as needed for containment and removal of construction debris from Tenant's Work and Tenant shall remove said trash containers prior to opening for business. The location of the trash containers shall be reasonably designated by Landlord. During the Tenant improvement period, Tenant and its contractor, if any, shall keep the Project free of all construction and related debris. Prior to opening for business, Tenant shall remove all construction and related debris from the Premises and the Project, and all such areas shall be left in a broom clean condition. Tenant's contractor shall name Landlord as an additional insured on contractor's insurance policies. All Tenant's Work shall be undertaken and completed in a good, workmanlike manner, and Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits, licenses and approvals with respect thereto and shall fully comply with all covenants, conditions and restrictions of record, governmental statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining thereto. Tenant covenants that no work by Tenant's employees, agents or contractors, shall disrupt or cause a slowdown or stoppage of any work conducted by Landlord on the Premises or Project.

        5.2    Landlord's Construction.    Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, and except as specifically provided herein, Tenant agrees to accept from Landlord, possession of the Premises upon substantial completion of Landlord's Work as described in Exhibit "D," in addition to (and not in lieu of) Landlord's obligations under this Lease, Landlord hereby represents and warrants ("Landlord's Warranty") that the Tenant Improvements shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of twelve (12) months after the date that such Tenant Improvements are Substantially Complete. If Tenant notifies Landlord of any such defects within such twelve (12) month period, then Landlord, at its expense, will repair or cause to be repaired (unless caused or changed in condition by Tenant prior thereto), the defects as soon as practicable and shall use reasonable efforts to repair the defects with minimal disruption and interference to Tenant's use of the Premises. At any time after the expiration such twelve (12) month period, Landlord will promptly, upon written request of Tenant, assign to Tenant (to the extent assignable and without warranty or representation by Landlord) all rights which Landlord may have under the contract for the construction of the Tenant Improvements against the contractor respecting defects in workmanship and materials.

ARTICLE 6
RENT

        6.1    General Provisions.    As used herein, "rent" or "Rent" shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent, all as hereinafter defined. Unless provided herein to the contrary, Tenant shall pay all rent to Landlord in advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term at the address provided in

7


Section 1.18 hereof, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (payment of the 1st month's rent), and continuing until the Expiration Date, All rent shall be paid, to Landlord, in lawful money of the United States of America without demand therefor, and without deduction, offset or abatement (subject to Section 1.23) of any kind. Rent for any partial month, including any month adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum equal to the first full monthly installment of Base Rent. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of lesser amounts of rent than those herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest unpaid stipulated rent. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Any credit due to Tenant hereunder by reason of overpayment of additional rent shall first be applied to any damages or rent owed to Landlord by Tenant if Tenant shall be in default when said credit shall be owed.

        6.2    Base Rent.    Subject to Section 6.3, Tenant shall pay Landlord as fixed rent ("Base Rent") during the Term of this Lease, the sum set forth in Section 1.10 hereof, which sum shall be payable by Tenant, monthly, on or before the first day of each month, in advance.

        6.3    Additional Rent.    All other charges or payments of whatever nature required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, except Base Rent, including without limitation Operating Expenses/CAM charged and the Exhibits attached hereto, shall be referred to as "Additional Rent".

        6.4    Rent Control.    If the amount of Rent or any other payment due under this Lease violates the terms of any governmental restrictions on such Rent or payment, then the Rent or payment due during the period of such restrictions shall be the maximum amount allowable under those restrictions. Upon termination of the restrictions, Landlord shall, to the extent it is legally permitted, recover from Tenant the difference between the amounts received during the period of the restrictions and the amounts Landlord would have received had there been no restrictions.

        6.5    Increases to Base Rent.    See Section 1.10

ARTICLE 7
SECURITY DEPOSIT

        7.1    Security Deposit.    Concurrently with Landlord obtaining a building permit, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit ("Security Deposit") specified in Section 1.12. Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit as security for Tenant's faithful performance of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord's general funds. Subject to Landlord's right hereunder to apply the Security Deposit in accordance with this Article, the parties acknowledge that the Security Deposit does not cover any rent or Operating Expenses hereunder. The retention or application of such Security Deposit by Landlord pursuant to this Section does not constitute a limitation on or waiver of Landlord's right to seek further remedy under law or equity.

        7.2    Use of Security Deposit.    If Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure the breach or failure of performance, and to compensate Landlord for any damages sustained by Landlord, including but not limited to payment of: (i) delinquent rent;

If any portion of the Security Deposit is used as provided for in this Section, then within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord sufficient cash to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Tenant's failure to make this deposit shall be a default under this Lease.

        7.3    Refund and Transfer.    If Tenant shall have fully and faithfully performed all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (or upon the earlier termination without Tenant's fault) and after Landlord has inspected the Premises, has cleaned and repaired any damage, and has received invoices for such repair or cleaning costs, if any, then Landlord shall return the Security Deposit or any balance thereof to Tenant. Landlord may transfer the Security Deposit, or that portion remaining after any deduction, to Landlord's successor-in-interest and shall upon such transfer be discharged from any further liability with respect to such Security Deposit.

Landlord shall also have the right to establish, amend, and enforce against all users of the parking areas reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may deem necessary and advisable for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the parking area. Tenant shall hold harmless Landlord and defend Landlord, its agents and employees against any and all claims of the employee and/or owner of the vehicle towed hereof respectively.

        8.5    No Obstruction.    Tenant shall not obstruct any portion of the Common Area without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by placing or allowing any item on it, including without limitation, signs, banners, displays, merchandise or other materials, except as expressly permitted by this Lease, the Rules and Regulations or Landlord in writing.

        (iv)  For reserves for future maintenance and repair work and reserves for replacement of existing capital improvements in the Building and Project which Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to use as Landlord deems necessary; personal property taxes on the improvements located on the Building and Project; fees and costs incurred in managing the Building and Project and in the performance, management and supervision of the Common Area maintenance services and obligations and/or administering the accounting, bookkeeping and collection of the expenses in connection with the Building and Project, said fees and costs incurred in the previous sentence shall be included in, and are not in addition to, the 3% management fee set fort in the first paragraph of Section 8.6; and public liability and property damage insurance covering the Building and Project in amounts as required by Landlord.

11



related to Landlord which exceeds the amount which would be paid for similar goods or services on an arms-length basis between unrelated parties.

The Landlord may contract for Security Personnel to monitor the Common Areas of the Project. The extent and scope of the use of Security Personnel to monitor the Common Area, including the Parking Area, shall be under Landlord's sole control. The use of Security Personnel to monitor the Common Facilities shall be for the protection of the capital improvements of the Project and shall not create nor impose upon Landlord or its agents an obligation or duty to protect or defend the property or personal well being of Tenant, its employees, guests or agents.

        8.7    Payment of Operating Expenses.    Tenant shall pay to Landlord its Prorata Share of all costs and expenses of every kind and nature (collectively, "Operating Expenses") paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance, repair, replacement, operation, protection, lighting and policing of the Common Area and the Project in the manner set forth in Section 6.2 as Additional Rent. Tenant's obligations set forth in this Section 8.7 form a material part of the consideration for this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as provided by any Laws now or hereafter in effect. It is understood that the foregoing charges shall be paid in estimated amounts determined periodically by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to adjust the estimated amount based on actual amounts incurred and on projected costs for future periods. When the actual amounts of such charges have been determined, and if Tenant shall have paid an amount less than it is required to pay, Tenant shall pay the balance due within thirty (30) days after receipt of said statement, and if Tenant shall have paid an amount greater than it is required to pay, the additional amount shall be credited to Tenant's next such payments. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section 8.7 shall survive the Expiration Date. In no event shall Tenant be relieved of its obligation to pay Tenant's Prorata Share of Operating Expenses if Landlord fails to send or is late in sending Landlord's Operating Statement or Estimated Operating Expense notice to Tenant.

        Tenant or its agents shall have the right, not more frequently than once per calendar year, after notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, to inspect and photocopy Landlord's Operating Expense records at Landlord's office. Should Tenant dispute any Operating Expenses, Tenant shall be entitled, but not later than one year following the operating year in question, to retain an independent certified public accountant or other competent real estate professional applying generally accepted accounting industry standards, who is not contracted or compensated on a contingency fee basis, to audit Landlord's Operating Expense records for the calendar year in question. Should the audit determine that Tenant was over-charged, then, within thirty (30) days of Landlord's inspection of the audit, Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of such over-charge toward the payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due under the Lease. Should the audit determine that Tenant has been under-charged; Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such amount as Additional Rent next coming due under the Lease. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of the audit, unless the audit determines that Landlord's calculation of Operating Expenses was in error by more than three percent (3%), in which case Landlord shall pay for the audit. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section 8.7 shall survive the Expiration Date.

ARTICLE 9
TAXES

        9.1    Personal Property Taxes.    Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes levied or assessed upon Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in or about the

12


Premises. If the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of the value placed upon Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property, Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon written demand, the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion thereof resulting from said increase in assessment.

ARTICLE 10
UTILITIES AND SERVICES

        10.1    General.    Landlord shall not be responsible for, or in default hereunder or be liable for any damages (including any consequential damages) directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the Rent be abated by reason of (i) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the foregoing services, (ii) failure caused by accident or any condition or event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises, Building or Project, or (iii) the limitation, curtailment or rationing of, or restrictions on, use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy serving the Premises, Building or Project. Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or business, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to any such services. Notwithstanding the preceding or anything in this Lease to the contrary, if water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy serving the Premises is interrupted due to the gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors (or such contractors' subcontractors) for a period in excess of two (2) continuous business days, then Rent due under this lease shall be abated thereafter during the period of time Tenant is without such utility, until restoration of such services.

        10.2    Landlord's Obligations.    During the periods from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and Saturday 7:00a.m..to 1:00 p.m., except New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and such other nationally recognized holidays, and subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord (for purposes of this Section 10, such hours and days of operation are herein called "Normal Working Hours"). In addition, the Building shall be accessible to Tenant's employees to work in the Premises outside Normal Working Hours for dispatch and customer care matters in the normal course of Tenant's business. Notwithstanding, Landlord shall furnish the following services and utilities to the Premises during the term of this Lease at levels and in types customary for first-class, office buildings in the Las Vegas, Nevada office market and as more particularly provided below, the cost of which shall be included in Operating Expenses except as specifically provided otherwise herein:

             (a)  HVAC.    Landlord shall furnish heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") amounts required for the use and occupancy of the Premises for normal office purposes. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, use heat-generating machines or other than normal fractional horsepower office machines or other machinery or equipment which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises by the HVAC system, and if such temperature is affected as a result of: (i) any lights, machines or equipment (including, without limitation, computers, photocopiers and electronic data processing machines) used by Tenant in the Premises in excess of normal office use; (ii) the occupancy of the Premises by more than one person per two hundred (200) square feet of Rentable Area therein; or (iii) an electrical load in excess of five (5) watts (connected load) per square foot of Usable Area of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to install any machinery or equipment which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to restore temperature balance, including, without limitation, modifications to the standard air conditioning equipment, and the cost thereof including the cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance incurred thereby, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. As it pertains to any special equipment of Tenant only, Landlord makes no representation with respect to the adequacy

13


    or fitness of the HVAC equipment in the Building to maintain satisfactory temperatures, and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage in connection therewith.

             (b)  Electricity.    Landlord shall furnish to the Premises an average of five (5) watts of electric current (connected load) per square foot of Usable Area for wall outlet power and lighting and electric current. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse in its sole discretion, Tenant shall not connect any apparatus, device, machinery, appliances or equipment, except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises. Tenant agrees to pay directly and in addition to Operating Expense payments for the cost of electrical current (at rates no higher than that charged by the public utility providing similar service) used by Tenant, which exceeds the amount of such current typically used by similar size tenants in similar class buildings and that the allocation of electricity costs to all tenants in the Project through Operating Expenses is, therefore, materially distorted or unfair, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the actual cost of the installation of such sub-meter and shall pay directly (instead of as part of Operating Expenses) for the actual cost of such excess electric current usage plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electric current so consumed. Landlord shall have the right to install such sub-meter at any time and from time to time during the Term or any renewal thereof.

             (c)  Elevators.    Landlord shall furnish passenger elevator services to the Premises at all times and shall identify a service provider for emergency calls from the elevator at all times.

             (d)  Water.    Landlord shall make available water for lavatory and drinking purposes to be drawn from the public lavatory in the core of the floor on which the Premises are located and to any plumbing fixtures installed within Tenant's Premises as Landlord's Work. Tenant shall not make any use of the Premises, which would increase the amount of water typically furnished for office use, nor connect any appliance directly to the water pipes, unless specifically approved by Landlord in writing.

             (e)  Janitorial.    Tenant shall provide janitorial service five (5) nights per week generally consistent with that furnished in other office buildings in Las Vegas and window washing as determined by Landlord but no less than once per quarter. Tenant shall also be required to provide janitorial services for the interior Common Areas of the Building that is part of its leased area, including without limitation, hallways, storage areas, stairwells, loading docks, delivery areas, escalators and elevators, service, fire and exit corridors, passageways, common restrooms, and all of the areas or improvements which may, at the commencement of the Term hereof and at any time during the Term, be provided upon the Project/Building, for the convenience and use of the Tenant and its subtenants, agents, employees, customers, invitees and any other licensees of Landlord.

        10.3    Tenant's Obligations.    In addition to the forgoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for, and promptly pay when due, all charges for gas, water, sewer, telephone, electricity, and all other utilities used by Tenant or consumed at the Premises during the Term. If Tenant refuses or neglects to pay any such utility charges, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, pay such charges, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay to Landlord the amount paid by Landlord in connection therewith as Additional Rent. In the event that any utility usage of Tenant is not separately metered or billed, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord its equitable share of the charges for each utility as reasonably determined by Landlord as part of Tenant's Prorata Share of Operating Expenses.

        All times during the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right to select the utility company or companies that shall provide services to the Premises and, subject to all applicable Laws, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term to either (a) contract for services from service provider(s) other than the provider with which Landlord has a contract as of the date of this Lease (the "Current Provider"), or (b) continue to contract for services from the Current Provider. Tenant shall at all times cooperate with Landlord and any service provider with which Landlord has contracted and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord or such service provider

14



reasonable access to any pipes, electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring and any other machinery within the Premises.

ARTICLE 11
INSURANCE

        11.1    General.    Tenant shall, at its expense, maintain in effect from and after the date of Delivery of Possession of the Premises to Tenant and continuously thereafter until the Expiration Date, the policies of insurance required under this Article. All policies that Tenant is required to obtain under this Article shall be issued by responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in Nevada with a general policyholder's rating of not less than "A" and a financing rating of not less than Class "X", as rated by the most current available "Bests" Insurance Reports and shall be in a form (without any additions or deletions unless approved in writing by Landlord) and underwritten by companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord. On or before the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence acceptable to Landlord that (i) the policies (or a binder thereof) required pursuant to this Article are in effect and (ii) Landlord shall be notified by the carrier in writing thirty (30) days prior to cancellation, material change, or non-renewal of such insurance. The policies that Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to this Article shall name Landlord and, upon Landlord's request, Landlord's mortgagee, if any, as additional Insureds on such equivalent form as may be approved by Landlord and shall be primary policies, and shall not be contributing with and shall be in excess of coverage which Landlord may have and shall be unaffected by any insurance or self-insurance Landlord may have regardless of whether any other insurance policy names Landlord as an insured or whether such insurance stands primary or secondary. If Tenant carries any of the insurance required hereunder in the form of a blanket policy, any certificate required hereunder shall make specific reference to the Premises, provided, however, the blanket policy carried with respect to the insurance required by Tenant hereunder shall contain a "per location" endorsement assuring that any aggregate limit under such blanket policy shall apply separately to the Premises and that the insurer thereunder shall provide written notice to Landlord if the available portion of such aggregate is reduced to less than the minimum amounts required under this Article by either payment of claims or the establishment of reserves for claims, (whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to take immediate steps to increase the amount of its insurance coverage in order to satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in Section 11.2). The policy evidencing insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article shall provide coverage on an occurrence basis. The limits of the insurance coverage required by Landlord or the unavailability of certain types of coverage shall not limit or release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease and the existence of such insurance in no way changes Tenant's obligations to Landlord.

        11.2    Tenant's Insurance.    

          A.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, during the entire Term hereof, shall, commencing with the date upon which possession of the Premises shall be made available to Tenant, procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect: (i) a commercial general liability insurance policy (ISO form or equivalent), including insurance against assumed or contractual liability under this Lease with respect to the Premises and the operations of Tenant and any subtenants of Tenant in, on or about the Premises in which the limits with respect to personal liability and property damage shall not be less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence on a location basis; (ii) all risk property insurance including theft and, if applicable, boiler and machinery coverage, written at replacement cost value in an adequate amount to avoid coinsurance and a full replacement cost endorsement insuring the Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and furnishings and any other items of personal property of Tenant and including the property of Tenant's customers located on or in the Premises; (iii) workers' compensation coverage as required by law; (Iv) with respect to alterations, additions or improvements and the like required or permitted to be made by Tenant hereunder, contingent liability and builder's

15



risk insurance, in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (v) such other insurance as from time to time may be required by city, county, state or Federal laws, codes, regulations or authorities. The deductibles or self-insurance portion under any such insurance policies to be carried by Tenant shall not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or such higher commercially reasonable amount consistent with Tenant's financial condition. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant's behalf and charge the Tenant the premiums, payable upon demand as Additional Rent.

          B.  Tenant shall not use, or allow the Premises to be used for any purpose which may be prohibited by the form of fire insurance policy required to be carried under this Lease. Tenant shall pay any increase in premiums for casualty and fire (including all risk coverage) insurance that may be charged during the Term of this Lease on the amount of such insurance which may be carried by Landlord on the Premises, the Building or the Project resulting from Tenant's occupancy whether or not Landlord has consented thereto. In such event, Tenant shall also pay any additional premium on the insurance policy that Landlord may carry for its protection against rent loss through fire or casualty. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule, issued by the organization setting the insurance rate on the Premises, showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the casualty and fire insurance rate on the Premises. Landlord shall deliver invoices for such additional premiums to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord therefore.

        11.3    Landlord's Insurance.    During the Term, Landlord shall procure and maintain at its expense (but with the expense to be included in Operating Expenses) through the term of this Lease a policy or policies of special form/all risk (including rent loss coverage) real and personal property insurance covering the Building (including the leasehold improvements in the Premises, but excluding Tenant's personal property and equipment), in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement cost thereof as such may increase from time to time (but such insurance may provide for a commercially reasonable deductible not to exceed $150,000), and in an amount sufficient to comply with any co-insurance requirements in such policy, and a policy of workers' compensation insurance, if any, as required by applicable law. In addition, Landlord shall procure and maintain at its expense (but with the expense to be included in Operating Expenses) and shall thereafter maintain throughout the term of this Lease, a commercial general liability insurance policy covering the Building with combined single limits for both damage to property and personal injury of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence, subject to annual aggregate limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), which policy shall be considered primary as to occurrences in the Common Areas. Such insurance also shall extend to any liability of Landlord arising out of its indemnities in this Lease. All such policies procured and maintained by Landlord pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be carried with companies licensed to do business in the State of Nevada.

        11.4    Waiver of Subrogation.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the full extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, their respective property, the Premises or its contents, or to other portions of the Project, arising from any risk to the extent covered by the insurance required hereunder. Landlord and Tenant shall each make its best efforts to obtain from its insurers under all policies of fire, theft, public liability and other insurance maintained by it at any time during the term of this Lease insuring or covering the Building or any portion thereof or operations therein, a waiver by the insurer of all rights of subrogation which the insurer might have against the other. The foregoing waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as available without invalidating either Landlord's or Tenant's policy of insurance.

16


ARTICLE 12
USE OF PREMISES

        12.1    Use.    Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Section 1.13. Landlord or Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will in any way cause the cancellation or Increase the existing rate of any fire or other insurance upon the Premises or the Project. Landlord or Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will obstruct or interfere with the reasonable rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project and Landlord or Tenant shall prevent odors, emissions, fumes, liquids or other substances or excessive noise from escaping or extending beyond the Premises, nor shall Landlord or Tenant use or allow the Premises or Common Areas of the Project to be used for any unlawful or extra hazardous purpose.

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply in all material respects with all applicable federal, state, county, or municipal laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, directives, covenants, restrictions, orders and/or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force with respect to Tenant's specific use and occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Landlord or Tenant in any action against Landlord or Tenant, whether Landlord or Tenant be a party thereto or not, that Landlord or Tenant has violated any related law, statute, ordinance or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

        12.2    Environmental Compliance.    The term "Hazardous Substances," as used in this Lease, shall include, without limitation, flammables, explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, pollutants, contaminants, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, petroleum and petroleum products, and substances declared to be hazardous or toxic under any law or regulation now or hereafter enacted or promulgated by any governmental authority.

        Tenant shall not cause or permit to occur:

        Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, make all submissions to, provide all information required by, and comply with all requirements of all governmental authorities (the "Authorities") under the Laws.

        Should any Authority or any third party demand that a cleanup plan be prepared and that a clean-up be undertaken because of any deposit, spill, discharge, or other release of Hazardous Substances that occurs during the term of this Lease, at or from the Premises, and/or which arises at any time from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, prepare and submit the required plans and all related bonds and other financial assurances; and Tenant shall carry out all such cleanup plans.

        Tenant shall promptly provide all information regarding the use, generation, storage, transportation, or disposal of Hazardous Substances that is requested by Landlord. If Tenant fails to

17



fulfill any duty imposed under this Section 12.2 within a reasonable time, Landlord may do so; and in such case, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in order to prepare all documents Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to determine the applicability of the Laws to the Premises and Tenant's use thereof, and for compliance therewith, and Tenant shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested by Landlord.

Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable notice of any and all intended entries or inspections pursuant to this Section.

ARTICLE 13

Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises, which exceeds the load per square foot, which such floor was designed to carry, as determined by Landlord or Landlord's structural engineer.

18

        13.2    Landlord's Cure.    If Tenant fails to commence any of the Tenant's obligations listed in Section 13.1 within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's written demand to perform such obligations, or fails to adequately complete the performance of such obligations within a reasonable time after commencement, then Landlord may, but is not obligated to, perform such obligations without liability to Tenant for any loss to Tenant's property or business that might arise by reason thereof. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand in an amount equal to the cost incurred by Landlord in the performance of such obligations plus an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost incurred by Landlord.

        13.3    Landlord's Obligations.    Except for damage caused by any willful misconduct of Tenant, Tenant's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees, (in which event Tenant shall repair the damage), Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall keep in good condition and repair the foundations, the Building HVAC system, plumbing, exterior walls, structural condition of interior bearing walls, roof structure of the Premises, Parking Area, utility installations of the Common Facilities and all parts thereof.

If Landlord has not performed or undertaken to perform maintenance or repair services required under this Lease within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice from Tenant, Tenant may take such reasonable action as is necessary to make repairs or perform such services and deduct the cost of such performance from any sums due Landlord hereunder. In case of emergencies, the aforesaid fifteen (15) day period shall be reduced to such period as is reasonable under the circumstances and Tenant shall only be required to provide oral notice to Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for damage or loss of any kind or nature by reason of Landlord's failure to furnish any such service when such failure is caused by strikes, lockout, or any other labor disturbances or disputes of any character beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

        14.1    Tenant Alterations.    Except for Permitted Alterations (as defined below),Tenant shall not commence to make any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises (collectively "Tenant Alterations") without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance provided, however, Landlord agrees it will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to cosmetic or non-structural alterations or additions which do not involve structure, walls, floors, Building systems, electrical installations or the obtaining of building permits. All alterations, physical additions, modifications or improvements in or to the Premises (including fixtures) shall, when made, become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon termination or expiration of this Lease; provided, however, that (i) Tenant shall retain title to and shall remove from the Premises movable equipment and furniture owned by Tenant and (ii) Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal except for nonstructural alterations to the interior of the Premises not exceeding Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) annually during the term. If Tenant makes any Tenant Alterations or commences Tenant's Work without the prior written approval of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant remove any or all of such Tenant Alterations or Tenant's Work and repair and any restore damage to the Premises caused by such removal at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant's Work and any

19


Tenant Alterations shall at all times comply fully with all applicable federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances, regulations, recorded covenants and restrictions/codes and other governmental requirements now or hereafter in force.

        Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written request for approval of Tenant's Work or any Tenant Alterations that Tenant would like to make with proposed detailed plans. Landlord shall have the right to condition Landlord's prior written consent upon Tenant's: (i) providing Landlord with plans and specifications for the Tenant Alterations or Tenant's Work for Landlord's prior written approval or the consent of any other tenant; (ii) obtaining a building permit and complying with all building and planning laws and regulations for the Tenant's Work or Tenant Alterations from appropriate governmental agencies; (iii) furnishing a copy of such building permit and evidence of such compliance to Landlord prior to the commencement of such work; (iv) complying with all the conditions of such building permit and such building and planning laws and regulations including without limitation those obligations and procedures stated in Chapter 108 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended; (v) providing Landlord with a copy of the construction contract and construction schedule and list of subcontractors and suppliers for Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; (vi) obtaining a builder's "all risk" insurance policy in an amount and issued by insurance company reasonably acceptable to Landlord, naming Landlord as an additional insured and otherwise satisfying the requirements of Article 11 of this Lease; and, (vii) providing Landlord with ten (10) days written notice prior to commencing any such work. Landlord's approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant's Work or any Tenant Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, loss, or prejudice suffered or claimed by Tenant, its agents or any other person or entity on account of: (a) the approval or disapproval of any plans, contracts, bonds, contractors, sureties or matters; (b) the construction or performance of any work whether or not pursuant to approved plans; (c) the improvement of any portion of the Premises or alteration or modification to any portion of the Premises; or, (d) the enforcement or failure to enforce any of the covenants, conditions and restrictions contained in this Lease.

        All work with respect to any addition, alteration or improvement shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner by properly qualified and licensed personnel approved by Landlord, and such work shall be diligently prosecuted to completion. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, require that any such work be performed by Landlord's contractor, in which case the cost of such work shall be paid for before commencement of the work. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon completion of any such work by Landlord's contractor, an administrative fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the cost of the work. Any such alterations, additions or improvements consented to by Landlord including any roof penetration shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

        Tenant shall provide its own trash container or containers for construction debris; shall promptly remove all construction and related debris from the Premises and all Common Areas; immediately following completion of construction shall return the Premises and Common Areas to the condition they were in immediately prior to construction; shall repair and restore any portions of the Common Areas harmed as result of the construction activities to the condition they were in immediately prior to construction; shall use service entrances to the Premises, if any; will conduct no core drilling, jack hammering or excessive noise during business hours; will disrupt other tenants as little as possible; and will pay to Landlord the amount of any and all damage to the roof caused by the penetration thereof, and the amount of any and all damages to the Premises, Building and/or Project as a result of roof leaks caused by the penetration. Tenant shall secure any and all governmental permits, approvals or authorizations required in connection with any such work, and shall indemnify, defend Landlord against, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all liability, costs, damages (including any damage to

20



the Building, Premises, Common Areas or any part of the Project), expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and any and all liens resulting therefrom.

        Under no circumstances shall Tenant enter upon the Project roof or make any roof penetrations without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any consent of Landlord shall be conditioned upon Landlord's review and approval of plans satisfactory to Landlord for the repair of the roof. At Landlord's option, any roof penetrations shall be performed by Landlord's roofing contractor, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof and any necessary repair work within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor.

        14.2    Construction of Tenant Alterations.    Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials furnished to or for Tenant at, on, or for use in the Project or Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Project, and any interest therein, free and clear of all mechanics' liens and all other liens. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of any lien filed against the Premises, the Project or any interest therein related to or arising from work performed by or for the Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice of the commencement of Tenant's Work or any Tenant Alterations in the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or upon the Premises as provided by law. If Tenant shall in good faith contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Tenant, at its sole expense, shall defend, indemnify, protect and hold the Premises, Project and Landlord harmless against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Tenant, Landlord, the Project, or the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord's request, Tenant shall immediately discharge such lien either by payment of the indebtedness due to the mechanic's lien claimant or by filing a bond (as provided by statute) as security therefor. Landlord shall have the right to procure such discharge by filing such bond, and Tenant shall pay the cost of such bond to Landlord as additional rent upon the first day thereafter that rent shall be due hereunder. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant pay Landlord's attorneys' fees and disbursements, court costs and other costs in defending any such action if Landlord is named as a party to any such action, the lien encumbers any portion or interest in the Project and/or if Landlord elects to defend any such action or lien.

        14.3    Title to Tenant Alterations.    Any and all Tenant's Work and Tenant Alterations which may be made in or upon the Premises shall become the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Term without compensation to Tenant; provided, however, that (i) Tenant shall retain title to and shall remove from the Premises movable equipment and furniture owned by Tenant and (ii) Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal unless Landlord requires that Tenant remove the Tenant's Work or Tenant Alterations pursuant to Article 15 hereof. Said requirement to remove any of Tenant's Work or Tenant Alterations shall be made in writing by Landlord to Tenant at such time Tenant makes the request for Landlord's approval.

        14.4    General.    Landlord may require, at Landlords sole option, that Tenant provide to Landlord, at Tenants expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to at least one and one-half (11/2) times the total estimated cost of any additions, alterations or improvements to be made in or to the Premises, to protect Landlord against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure timely completion of the work. Nothing contained in this Section shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to keep the Premises, Building and Project free of all liens, or comply with the provisions of Chapter 108 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended.

        14.5    Applicable Laws.    Throughout the term of this Lease all Tenant's construction, use of the Premises and alterations, additions and/or improvements to the Premises shall be in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations of all duly constituted authorities, including, without limitation, Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all regulations issued there under and the Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities issued pursuant thereto, as the same are in

21



effect on the date hereof and may be hereafter modified, amended or supplemented ("Applicable Laws"). Further, any costs, expenses, required alterations/changes/modifications and/or damages arising from continued compliance with all Applicable Laws shall be the responsibility of Landlord at Landlord's sole cost and expense. All alterations/changes/modifications to the Premises as required by Applicable Laws shall be made in a timely manner so as to avoid any liability and/or damages arising there from.

ARTICLE 15
TENANT'S PROPERTY

        15.1    Tenant's Property.    All supplies and movable trade fixtures owned by Tenant and installed in the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and which may be removed without material damage to the Project ("Tenant's Property") shall remain the property of Tenant during the Term. Tenant's Property (a) may be removed from the Premises from time to time during the Term and (b) at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof shall be removed from the Premises provided: (i) Tenant shall not at such time be in default, or with notice or the passage of time or both would be in default under any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease; (ii) Tenant shall repair to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of Tenant's Property; and (iii) Tenant immediately replaces any such Tenant's Property (which is removed prior to the end of the Term) with similar property of comparable or better quality to assure that the Premises are suitable for conducting business in accordance with Article 6 hereof until the Expiration Date.

        15.2    Surrender of Premises.    On the Expiration Date or on the sooner termination hereof, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section and in good order, condition and repair, broom clean, excepting only reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire, condemnation and other unavoidable casualty which Landlord is required to repair hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of this Lease. Landlord may, however, designate by written notice to Tenant at the time Tenant requested Landlord's approval for said alterations, decoration, additions or improvements, those alterations, decorations, additions or improvements which shall be removed from the Premises by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and Tenant shall promptly remove the same and repair, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, any damage to the Premises or Project caused by such removal. Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for notice to Landlord and shall inform Landlord of the combinations on any locks and safes on the Premises. If Tenant abandons or surrenders the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any of Tenant's Property left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, and, at Landlord's option, title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale. If Landlord elects to remove all or any part of such Tenant's Property, the cost of removal, including repairing any damage to the Premises or Building caused by such removal, shall be paid by Tenant.

ARTICLE 16
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

        16.1    Reconstruction of Damaged Premises.    If the Premises is damaged, through no fault of Tenant, or its employees, supplies, customers or invitees, Landlord shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible, at its expense, unless: (i) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the full replacement cost of the Building ("Replacement Cost") and the damage is not covered by Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance or (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Replacement Cost; or (iii) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed ten percent (10%) of the Replacement Cost and the damage occurs during the final twelve (12) months of the Term. Should Landlord elect not to repair the damage for one of the preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify

22


Tenant in writing within sixty (60) days after the damage occurs and Tenant shall elect to either (i) repair the damage at its cost and deduct the cost thereof from any future Base Rent due Landlord on a prorate basis amortized over the remaining months of the operative Term, or (ii) terminate this Lease and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of that notice and the obligations of the parties shall terminate as if the Lease Term had naturally expired. Unless either party elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with the above, this Lease shall continue in effect for the remainder of the Term. However, provided that if the damage to the Premises is so extensive that it prevents Tenant's substantial use and enjoyment of the Premises for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days from and after Tenant's inability to use the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of that notice and the obligations of the parties shall terminate as if the Lease term had naturally expired. Commencing on the date of any damage to the Premises which renders a portion thereof unusable, and ending on the date the damage is repaired or this Lease is terminated, whichever occurs first, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the damage bears to the total floor area of the Premises. Notwithstanding the provisions of the above subsections of this Section, if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, subtenants, invitees or representatives, the cost of any repairs not covered by Landlord's or Tenant's insurance on the Building shall be borne by the Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to rental abatement or termination rights. In addition, the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to require Landlord to repair any improvements or fixtures installed by Tenant.

ARTICLE 17
EMINENT DOMAIN

        17.1    Total or Partial Condemnation of Leased Premises.    If all or a material portion of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to materially alter the Premises or Tenant's reasonable use thereof, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease, by written notice to the other, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award, proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority.

        17.2    Landlord's and Tenant's Damages.    In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the proceeds of any award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or settlement from the condemning authority. Tenant, however, shall have the right, to the extent that Landlord's award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to Tenant's personal property.

23


ARTICLE 18
INDEMNIFICATION AND GUARANTY

        18.1    Tenant Indemnification.    Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord and its agents, employees, partners, officers, affiliates, subsidiaries, members, managers, directors, and representatives ("Landlord's Indemnities") harmless from and against any and all losses, damages (whether actual or otherwise), liabilities, actions, causes of action (whether legal, equitable or administrative), claims, judgments, costs, and expenses, including Landlord's Indemnities' attorneys' fees and disbursements, and court costs which Landlord may suffer or incur as a direct or indirect consequence of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, or the Common Areas, or from the conduct of its business, or from any activity, work or thing done by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about the Premises or the Common Areas, or from any negligent act or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, or licensees, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. In case Landlord's Indemnities are made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shalt pay all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with the litigation.

        18.2    Landlord Indemnification.    Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, its agents and any and all affiliates of Tenant, including, without limitation, any partners, co-venturers, corporations or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, from and against any and all claims or liabilities arising either before or after the Commencement Date from the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, licensees, invitees or affiliates (excluding consequential damages). In case Tenant, its agents or affiliates are made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Landlord, then Landlord shall protect and hold Tenant harmless and shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Tenant in connection with the litigation.

        18.3    Guaranty.    All of Tenant's obligations under this Lease are and shall be guaranteed by the Guarantor designated in Section 1.14 pursuant to a guaranty in the form of Exhibit "G" attached hereto.

ARTICLE 19
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

        19.1    Events of Default.    The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an event of default and a material breach of this Lease on the part of Tenant:

            A.    Vacation, Abandonment.    The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is defined to include, but not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days (or longer) or sixty (60) days (whether consecutive or not) in any calendar year accompanied by Tenant's failure to pay rent during the abandonment period (exclusive of holidays and weekends).

            B.    Failure to Make Payment.    Tenant's failure to pay any rent or other sums due hereunder on the date when such payment is due, where such failure continues for five (5) days after such payment is due.

            C.    Attachment.    If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease or on any of Tenant's Property or if Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or provides for an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors.

            D.    Failure to Perform Other Covenants.    Tenant's breach or failure to perform any of Tenant's other material covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, where such breach or failure

24



    continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord.

            E.    Intentionally Deleted.    

            F.    Bankruptcy Related.    If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or if a petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding up of corporations, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction, custody or control of Tenant or any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of forty-five (45) days. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take charge of the Premises or Tenant's Property (or has the authority to do so) for the purpose of enforcing a lien against the Premises or Tenant's Property.

            G.    Failure to Complete Tenant's Work.    Tenant's failure to complete Tenant's Work in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on or before the Lease Commencement Date, where such failure continues for a period of ninety (90) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord.

        19.2    Remedies.    Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant as set forth in Section 19.1 above, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.

            A.    Terminate Lease.    Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice to Tenant. If the Lease is so terminated, then Landlord may recover from Tenant all actual damages sustained by Landlord, including, without limitation, deficiency in rent, reasonable attorneys' fees, other collection costs, brokerage fees, and expenses of placing the Premises in good order. Landlord's putting the Premises in good order or preparing the same for rental shall not operate to release Tenant from this Lease.

            B.    Reenter Premises.    Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to reenter the Premises and any property that Tenant leaves in the Premises shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as the property of Landlord or may be disposed of at public or private sale in accordance with applicable law as Landlord sees fit. The proceeds of any public or private sale of Tenant's property, or the then current fair market value of any property retained by Landlord, shall be applied by Landlord against (i) the expenses of Landlord for removal, storage or sale of the property; (ii) the arrears of rent or future rent payable under this Lease; and (iii) any other damages to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder. Further, Landlord may, upon presentation of evidence of a claim valid upon its face of ownership or for security interest in any of Tenant's property abandoned in the Premises, turn over such property to the claimant with no liability to Tenant.

            C.    Maintain Lease; Relet Premises.    Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as provided in Subsection 19.2(A) above, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to clean and to make alterations and repairs to the Premises at Tenant's sole expense.

            If Landlord elects to relet as provided herein, then rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied at Landlord's option: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting incurred by Landlord, Including attorneys' fees, tenant improvements, court costs and brokerage

25



    commissions; third, to the payment of the cost of any cleaning, alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month which is applied to the payment of rent under the retelling lease is less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, upon Landlord's demand, the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting, including attorneys' fees, court costs, tenant improvements and brokerage commissions and in making any alterations and repairs to the Premises.

            No reentry, acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet, or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of the Landlord to protect the Landlord's interest under the Lease shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless an express written notice of such intention is delivered to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting of the Premises without termination of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may at any time after such retelling elect to terminate this Lease, in which case, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided by law or equity or this Lease upon termination.

            D.    Performance by Landlord.    If Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for thirty (30) days (or such shorter time period as may be specified otherwise in this Lease) after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the breach or failure, Landlord, without thereby waiving or curing such may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligation for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Landlord may also so perform any such obligation without notice in case of an emergency.

        19.3    Late Charges.    Landlord and Tenant agree that the fixing of actual damages for Tenant's breach of any of the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other amounts due hereunder, would cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult or impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to accounting, processing, administrative, legal and clerical charges and late charge which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant hereunder has not been received by Landlord or Landlord's agent within five (5) business days after such amount was due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any such delinquent installment of rent or any other delinquent sum due from Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees that said late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease, at law or in equity. Tenant understands and agrees to the foregoing provisions relating to late charges.

        19.4    Interest on Past Due Obligations.    Any and all amounts not paid to Landlord when due, including but not limited to rent, late charges and interest shall bear interest at the so-called "Prime Rate" published in The Wall Street Journal, as the same may change from time to time, plus one percent (1%) per annum, not to exceed the highest rate then allowed under any applicable usury laws ("Remedy Rate") from the date due until paid. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease and shall not affect any rights and remedies provided to Landlord in this Lease or at law or in equity, all of which shall be cumulative.

        19.5    Landlord's Default.    Landlord shall in no event be charged with default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such

26



obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably necessary to correct any such failure) after receipt of written notice by Landlord from Tenant properly specifying which obligations Landlord has failed to perform. It is expressly understood and agreed that any money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Project and out of the rents or other income from such property receivable by Landlord, or out of the consideration received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's right, title and interest in the Project, subject, nevertheless, to the rights of Landlord's mortgagee and Landlord shall not be liable for any deficiency. No other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord (the term "Landlord", for purposes of this Section only, shall mean any and all members, managers, owners of either of them, partners, both general and limited, and partners of partners, which comprise Landlord), wherever situated, shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord.

ARTICLE 20
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

        20.1    Subordination.    At Landlord's option, this Lease is and shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust and/or any other hypothecation or security document and advances and obligations thereunder now or hereafter placed upon the Premises or the Project, and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof (collectively "Mortgage"), provided Tenant's right to quiet possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default, or with notice or passage of time or both would not be in default, under the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease. Such subordination shall be effective upon notice from Landlord to Tenant without any further act of Tenant. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall, from time to time, execute and deliver any documents or instruments that may be required by Landlord or the mortgagee, beneficiary, ground Landlord or lender (collectively "Landlord's Lender") under any such Mortgage, to effectuate any subordination, provided that Landlord's Lender agrees not to disturb Tenant's right to quiet possession under this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default, or with notice or passage of time or both would not be in default, under the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such documents or instruments, Tenant irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver any such documents or instruments. If Landlord's Lender elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, and gives written notice to Tenant of such election, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage regardless of the respective dates of execution, delivery and recordation of this Lease and any such Mortgage.

        20.2    Attornment.    Tenant hereby attorns to and shall recognize the Landlord's Lender as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Landlord may require to evidence such attornment. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver the instrument of attornment on behalf of Tenant.

        20.3    Estoppel Certificate.    Tenant shall, at any time not less than fifteen (15) days after prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, a statement, in writing; (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease is otherwise unmodified and in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant's knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth all further information that Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant's statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Project.

27


        Tenant's failure to deliver any Landlord estoppel statement within the provided time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, and (ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance.

        20.4    Limitation of Liability.    Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the holder of a deed of trust to which this Lease is or may be subordinate, shall be responsible in connection with the Security Deposit unless such mortgagee or holder of such deed of trust shall have actually received the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Landlord. Further, in no event shall Landlord incur any liability to Tenant, its employees, agents, customers or invitees as a result of any failure of any security system installed at the Project or any security procedure instituted at the Project. Landlord makes no representations or warranties concerning the ability of Landlord or its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors to maintain the Project, the Common Area or the Premises in a secure fashion. In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises, Building or Project, and assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Premises, Building, Project or Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale or transfer, providing the purchaser shall expressly assume all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease. If any security deposit or prepaid Rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord may transfer the security deposit or prepaid Rent to Landlord's successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be relieved of any and all further liability with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 21
FORCE MAJEURE

        If either party hereto shall be delayed in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of acts of God, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations or other causes without fault and beyond the control of the party obligated (financial inability excepted), performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay; provided, however, nothing in this Article shall delay the Lease Commencement Date or excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of any rent or other charge required of Tenant hereunder, except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.

ARTICLE 22
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

        22.1    Assignment and Subletting.    Tenant may sublet or permit the Premises or any part thereof (excluding the roof area or portions thereof) to be used or occupied by others, only with the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any such sublease, or permission for occupancy without such consent shall be voidable at the option of Landlord. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of Tenant's default, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the obligations on the part of Tenant set forth herein. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve Tenant, the assignee or the subtenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting or to release Tenant from any liability, whether past, present, or future, under this Lease or from any liability under this Lease because of Landlord's failure to give notice of default by Tenant (or by the assignee or subleases pursuant to the assumption agreement described below) under any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements or this Lease. A transfer of control of Tenant shall be deemed an assignment under this Lease and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article, including but not limited to the requirement of obtaining Landlords prior written consent, unless Tenant at the time of the proposed transfer is then a publicly held corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall be required for an assignment or subletting by Tenant to any subsidiary of Tenant, its affiliate or related company. Furthermore, Tenant shall retain any profits, which result from an assignment or sublease.

        No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. Moreover, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any acts or omissions by an assignee or subtenant. Each transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of all rent and for the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. No transfer shall be binding upon Landlord unless any document memorializing the transfer is delivered to Landlord and, if the transfer is an assignment or sublease, both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed document which contains: (i) a covenant of assumption by the assignee/subtenant, and (ii) an indemnification agreement by Tenant, both reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord and consistent with the requirements of this Article; provided that, the failure of the assignee/subtenant or Tenant to execute the instrument of assumption shall not release either from any obligation under this Lease.

        The acceptance by Landlord of any payment due under this Lease from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or be a consent to any transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights under this Lease.

        22.2    Request for Transfer.    If Tenant desires to sublease all or a portion of the Premises or assign this Lease and provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord setting forth the name and address and the current certified financial statements of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the experience and background of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the terms of the proposed assignment or subletting, and such other information as Landlord or its mortgagee may reasonably request in connection therewith. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its approval of any proposed sublease or assignment to any proposed tenant whose proposed use of the Premises (or portion thereof) is consistent with and comparable to the use of other

29



Class "A" office buildings in the vicinity. Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice, to consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and if Landlord fails to notify Tenant, it shall be deemed to have refused to have consented thereto.


ARTICLE 23
NOTICES

        All notices, information, requests or replies ("Notice") required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be sent by United States registered or certified mail postage prepaid, or by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (provided that such service is able to furnish evidence of receipt or refusal of delivery) addressed to the addresses of Tenant and Landlord specified as "Addresses for Notices and Reports" in Section 1.17, or at such other place as either Landlord or Tenant may, from time to time designate in a written notice by certified mail given to the other. Notice shall be deemed to be given upon the earlier of receipt (or refusal to receive) of same by the party to whom the Notice is sent or three (3) business days after the date of the mailing thereof.


ARTICLE 24
QUIET ENJOYMENT

        Tenant, upon keeping, observing and performing all of the covenants and agreements of this Lease on its part to be kept, observed; and performed, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term of this Lease.


ARTICLE 25
ATTORNEYS' FEES

        In the event that Landlord retains an attorney with respect to the enforcement of any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Should either party commence an action against the other to enforce any obligation hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the costs thereof and attorneys' fees actually incurred by such prevailing party (including the fees and charges of legal assistants or other non-attorney personnel performing services under the supervision of an attorney), whether or not such litigation is prosecuted to judgment. Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that Landlord and Tenant intend by this Article to compensate for attorneys' fees actually incurred by the prevailing party at such attorney's then normal hourly rates and that this Article shall constitute an instruction to the court that such rate or rates shall be deemed reasonable.


ARTICLE 26
WAIVER

        No waiver of any default or breach of any covenant by either party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by either party to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated. Landlord's acceptance of any payment which is less than that required to be paid by Tenant shall be deemed to have been received only on account of the obligation for which it is paid and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary asserted by Tenant, written on any check or contained in any transmittal letter. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term or covenant hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. An express waiver must be in writing and signed by a person with the power to contractually bind Tenant or Landlord. An express waiver shall affect only the default specified in the waiver, and only for

30



the time and to the extent expressly stated. Waivers by either party of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term, or condition.


ARTICLE 27
LIMITATION ON CLAIMS

        Any claim, demand, right or defense of any kind by Tenant, which is based upon, arising in connection with or in any way related to this Lease or the negotiations prior to its execution, shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes in a legal proceeding a defense by reason thereof, within six (6) months after the date of the inaction or omission or the date of the occurrence of the event or of the action to which the claim, demand, right or defense relates, whichever applies.


ARTICLE 28
BANKRUPTCY

        28.1    Tenant's Interest Not Transferable.    Neither this Lease, nor any interest herein nor any estate hereby created shall pass to any trustee or receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law, except as may be specifically provided pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101, et, seq.).

        28.2    Tenant's Obligation to Avoid Creditors' Proceedings.    Tenant or Tenant's Guarantor, if any, shall not cause or give cause for the institution of legal proceedings seeking to have Tenant or Tenant's Guarantor, if any, adjudicated bankrupt, reorganized or rearranged under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, and shall not cause or give cause for the appointment of a trustee or receiver for the assets or Tenant or Tenant's Guarantor, if any, and shall not make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or become or be adjudicated insolvent. The allowance of any petition under the bankruptcy law, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver of Tenant or Tenant's Guarantor, if any, or its assets, shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant caused or gave cause thereof, unless such allowance of the petition, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver, is vacated within thirty (30) days after such allowance or appointment.


ARTICLE 29
INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION

        29.7    Severability.    If any provision of this Lease or application thereof to any person or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease (including the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid) shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure such default; provided that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within that thirty (30) day period, then such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

        30.11    Waiver of Jury Trial.    Landlord and Tenant waive any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon, or related to, the subject matter of this Lease. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily made by Tenant, and Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any person acting on behalf of Landlord has made any representations of fact to induce this waiver of trial by jury or in any way to modify or nullify its effect. Tenant further acknowledges that he has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this Lease and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel, selected of his own free will, and that he has had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel. Tenant further acknowledges that it has read and understands the meaning and ramifications of this waiver provision.

Tenant

33



acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation of any type concerning the provision of Independent Services, and agrees that any cessation or interruption of Independent Services or any other act or neglect by the third party providing the Independent Services shall not constitute a default or constructive eviction by Landlord. Tenant agrees, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful conduct of Landlord, its partners, employees, agents and/or assigns, to hold harmless Landlord, its partners, employees, agents and assigns from any claim Tenant may have arising in any way out of the provision (or lack thereof) of the Independent Services which Tenant has contracted to receive from the third parties.

        30.13    Act of Landlord.    No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease or, as the case may be, have caused their officers thereunto duly authorized to execute this Lease the day and year first above written.

Upon completion of Tenant's Work, Tenant shall record in the office of the County Recorder of the County in which the Project is located a notice of completion or any other notice required or permitted by applicable mechanics' lien laws to commence the running of, or terminate, any period for the filing of liens or claims, and shall deliver to Landlord any certificate of occupancy or other equivalent evidence of completion of Tenant's Work in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.

Tenant shall pay and fully discharge any contested claim or lien within five (5) business days after entry of final judgment adverse to Tenant in any action to enforce or foreclose such lien. However, notwithstanding any such contest, Landlord shall have the right at any time to pay any lien imposed hereunder if in Landlord's reasonable judgment such payment is necessary to avoid the forfeiture, involuntary sale or loss of any interest of Landlord or any other tenant or owner in the Project, or any portion thereof. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless of and from any and all loss, cost, liability, damage, injury or expense (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with claims or liens for work, labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished, or claimed to be furnished, to or for Tenant, in, upon or about the Premises or the Project.

Landlord agrees and acknowledges that Tenant may use the Tenant Improvement Allowance for any costs reasonably related to the design, permitting and construction of the Tenant's Work (including any architectural and design fees, application and plan check fees, permit and approval fees and Tenant's Contractor fees), provided no portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be used for legal or accounting fees or for the purchase of furniture, removable art or other personal property without Landlord's written consent. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Tenant, Landlord shall distribute to Tenant the amount specified in such invoice (provided in no event shall Landlord be obligated to disburse to Tenant any amount in excess the total Tenant Improvement Allowance). Each invoice submitted by Tenant shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation showing that the expense was paid or incurred by Tenant in connection with a valid Tenant's Work cost and that said Tenant's Work was actually performed or materials installed at the Premises. Tenant understands that Landlord is under voucher control for distribution of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and its voucher control will not release funds to Tenant unless it confirms said work and/or materials invoiced by Tenant have actually been completed and/or installed at the Premises.

        Tenant's contractors and subcontractors are required to check in with the Landlord's Property Manager for instructions and coordination prior to going on the site. All Tenant Contractors are to comply with Project rules and regulations as set forth by Landlord.

        If, immediately prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Lease, this Lease shall be in force and effect and provided that Tenant, not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of such term, shall have given to Landlord written notice of Tenant's desire to renew this Lease, the giving of such notice by Tenant shall be effective to renew this Lease and extend the term hereof as to the Premises and, without the necessity for execution of any further instrument by either party, for an additional two (2) lease terms of five (5) years each (the "Renewal Term(s)") from and after the expiration of said initial term. If Tenant exercises such initial renewal option, the Tenant shall have the right to renew for another five (5) year period by giving notice six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Renewal Term. The giving of this second notice shall also be effective to renew the Lease and further extend the term without the necessity for execution of any further instruments by either party. The Renewal Term(s) shalt be on the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions as are contained herein for the initial term except Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of this Lease after the second Renewal Term. Base Rent for each year during the entirety of such Renewal Term(s) on the premises shall, however, be at the "Renewal Rate" (as hereinafter defined).

        The "Renewal Rate" for purposes of calculating Base Rent payable during such Renewal Term(s) shall be the amount equal to 95% of the then prevailing Fair Market Rent. In no event shall the total rent during any year of any Renewal Term(s) be less than the total rent paid during the prior preceding year. Landlord and Tenant will negotiate in good faith to agree on such lease rent.

        Ninety (90) days preceding the date prescribed for exercise of any option to extend this Lease, Landlord agrees to furnish to Tenant the proposed Renewal Rate for the appropriate Renewal Term. Tenants Notice period shall be shortened day for day for each day Landlord fails to provide Tenant its proposed Renewal Rate. Tenant shall approve or disapprove the Renewal Rate within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice (Approval Period). If Tenant approves the Renewal Rate within the Approval Period (by notice to Landlord), the parties shall execute an agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to both, modifying the Expiration Date, the Base Rent, the Monthly Installments of Base Rent and all other relevant matters. If Tenant fails to deliver the extension notice as required herein or fails to approve the Renewal Rate within the Approval Period (either by notice of disapproval or by failing to give any such notice), then this option shall be void, Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term and the Term shall terminate as provided in this Lease; provided, however, if Tenant disapproves the Renewal Rate, Tenant can avoid termination of this option by giving Landlord notice (Appraisal Notice) within the Approval Period that Tenant elects to determine the Renewal Rate by appraisal. The appraisal shall be made as follows:

            (a)   The Appraisal Notice must contain the name of the appraiser appointed by Tenant to determine the Renewal Rate. Within 15 days after Landlord receipt of the Appraisal Notice, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the name of the appraiser appointed by Landlord to determine the Renewal Rate. The two appraisers so appointed shall promptly appoint a third appraiser; if they fail to appoint such third appraiser within 15 days after they receive notice of their joint appointment, then either Landlord or Tenant, upon notice to the other, may request the assignment of a third appraiser by the then President of the local chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. All appraisers shall have at least 10 years experience and be familiar with commercial office rentals in buildings comparable to the Building in the area in which the Building is located.

            (b)   The three (3) appraisers shall jointly establish the Renewal Rate within 30 days after the appointment of the third appraiser and if they cannot agree, the average of the two (2) closest estimates will be accepted by the parties as the Market Rate, unless the average of all 3 estimates

E-1



    equals one of the three (3) estimates, in which case such average estimate shall be accepted by the parties as the Renewal Rate.

            (c)   If Landlord fails to appoint an appraiser within the period permitted above, then the appraiser appointed by Tenant shall have the power to proceed as sole appraiser to establish the Renewal Rate.

            (d)   Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fees of the appraiser appointed by it and one-half of the fees of the third appraiser and the general expenses of the appraisal except that Tenant may elect to reject the Renewal Rate, and if Tenant does so reject, then Tenant shall pay the fees of all three appraisers and the general expenses of the appraisal.

            (e)   After determination of the Renewal Rate, the parties shall execute an agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to both, modifying the Expiration Date, the Base Rent, the Monthly Installments of Base Rent and all other relevant matters."

        If at the time Tenant gives notice of its desire to renew this Lease for the Renewal Term(s), Landlord should allege that Tenant is not then entitled to exercise such renewal option by reason of any default in the performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder existing at such time, then Landlord must, within ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of notice of Tenant's desire to renew and extend the term of this Lease, give Tenant written notice specifying the alleged default on the part of Tenant; and Tenant shall thereupon have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice from Landlord (plus such additional reasonable period of time as may be required with respect to those items, which, by their very nature, cannot be cured within such thirty [30] day period) within which to remedy such alleged default; and if Tenant shalt have cured all such defaults within the said respective time periods allowed, then the previous existence of such default shall not constitute a reason for invalidating Tenant's notice to exercise its renewal option.

        At any time after Tenant has exercised its option to extend this Lease for the Renewal Term(s), Landlord and Tenant, upon request of either, will sign and acknowledge a written memorandum evidencing such facts, setting out the date to which such Renewal Term(s) will extend, and the rental rates which will be applicable during such Renewal Term(s).
