SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion
of management of Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company), contain all adjustments, which
include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position
at September 30, 2005, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 is derived from the Companys audited
financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures
contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented
therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31,
2005.

SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and basis of presentation continued
Description of business
Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on February 18, 1998
under the name Mandalay Capital Corp. The Company changed its name to Save the World Air,
Inc. on February 11, 1999 following the purchase of the worldwide exclusive manufacturing,
marketing and distribution rights for the ZEFS device. ZEFS is a device which is
fitted to an internal combustion engine and is expected to reduce carbon monoxide
hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide emissions. During the past three years, the Company has
been acquiring new technologies, developing prototype products using the Companys
technologies and conducting scientific tests regarding the technologies and prototype
products. In 2003, the Company acquired worldwide intellectual property and patent rights
to technologies which reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide emissions in
two- and four-stroke motorcycles, fuel-injection engines, generators and small engines.
The Company has also developed prototype products and named them CAT-MATE.
Development stage enterprise
The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises. All losses accumulated since the inception of the Company have been
considered as part of the Companys development stage activities.
The Companys primary historical focus has been on research and development of proprietary devices that are
designed to reduce harmful emissions, and improve fuel efficiency and engine performance
on equipment and vehicles driven by internal combustion engines and has not yet generated
any revenues. The prototype devices are called ZEFS and CAT-MATE. Previously, the Company devoted the bulk of its efforts to complete the design, the development of production models and initial efforts for the
promotion of products in the marketplace worldwide. The Company is currently in a transitional phase from research and development to initial marketing and early sales of its devices. Expenses have been funded primarily through
the sale of company stock and debt. The Company has taken actions to secure the intellectual
property rights to the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices. In addition, the Company has initiated
marketing efforts to international governmental entities in cooperation with the United
Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and various original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs), to eventually sell or license the ZEFS and CAT-MATE products and technology.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
2. Net loss per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury
stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the
treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the
proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when
the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price
of the options and warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the
dilutive impact of outstanding stock options of 16,508,561 and 14,422,652 respectively,
and outstanding warrants of 19,095,728 and 14,973,414 have been excluded because their
impact on the loss per share is antidilutive.
3. Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151,
Inventory Costs. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 Inventory
Pricing, to require items such as idle facility costs, excessive spoilage, double freight
and rehandling costs to be expensed in the current period, regardless if they are abnormal
amounts or not. This Statement will become effective for us in the first quarter of 2006.
The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R), which revises SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123R also supersedes APB No. 25 and amends SFAS
No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. In general, the accounting required by SFAS 123R is
similar to that of SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123 gave companies a choice to either
recognize the fair value of stock options in their income statements or disclose the pro
forma income statement effect of the fair value of stock options in the notes to the
financial statements. SFAS 123R eliminates that choice and requires the fair value of all
share-based payments to employees, including the fair value of grants of employee stock
options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over the option vesting period.
SFAS 123R must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005 (or December 31, 2005 for small
business issuers). Early adoption is permitted.

SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
3. New accounting pronouncements continued
The Company is currently evaluating the timing and manner in which it will adopt SFAS
123R. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments
to employees using APB 25s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, adoption of SFAS 123Rs
fair value method will have an effect on results of operations, although it will have no
impact on overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be
predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in
the future. However, had SFAS 123R been adopted in prior periods, the effect would have
approximated the SFAS 123 pro forma net loss and loss per share disclosures as shown
above. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized
compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating
cash flow as currently required, thereby reducing net operating cash flows and increasing
net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.
4. Certain relationships and related transactions
Advances from founding executive officer
All of the marketing and manufacturing rights for the ZEFS were acquired from Mr. Muller,
for 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $500,000 and a $10 royalty for each unit sold (see
discussion below), pursuant to the Agreement entered into in December 1998, by and between
the Company and Mr. Muller. Working capital advances in the amount of $517,208 and
payment in the amount of $500,000 for marketing and distribution rights of the ZEFS are
due to Mr. Muller. Such amounts are interest free and do not have any due dates for
payment.
In January 2000, the Company entered into an agreement offering Mr. Muller and Lynne
Muller, Mr. Mullers wife, the option to purchase 5,000,000 shares each at $0.10 per share
as consideration for work performed for the Company. Mrs. Muller subsequently transferred
her option to Mr. Muller.

4. Certain relationships and related transactions continued
Advances from founding executive officer continued
In connection with the Companys legal proceedings against Mr. Muller (see Note 9), the
Company is attempting to obtain a judgment that will relieve the Company of $1,017,208,
which represents all amounts due Mr. Muller. These amounts include the $500,000 due for
the marketing and distribution rights of the ZEFS and the working capital advances of
$517,208. The Company has been relieved of the $10 royalty interest that Mr. Muller held
for each unit sold. In addition, the Company is also attempting to obtain a judgment that
will divest and prevent any subsequent holders of the right to exercise options previously
held by Mr. Muller for 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Based on the
status of current legal proceedings, the Company does not believe that it will have to pay
Mr. Muller the $500,000 for the rights to the ZEFS device and the $517,208 of advances.
The Company has not made any adjustments for the above in its financial statements as the
matters have not yet been finalized.
Due to related parties
Masry & Vititoe, a law firm in which Edward Masry, the Companys Chief Executive Officer,
is a partner, has advanced $179,561 and $36,478 as of September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, to the Company for working capital purposes. Advances by Masry and Vititoe
are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and are due on demand. In April 2004, the Company
issued 60,000 shares of common stock to convert $15,000 of an outstanding loan made to the
Company by the wife of Edward Masry. The shares issued are valued at the current market
price at the date of issuance of $91,800 resulting in additional charge to expense of
$76,800, which was reflected as consulting expense in the financial statements for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004.
5. Convertible debentures and warrants
On September 23, 2005, the Company completed a private offering of an of its 9% Convertible
Notes due July 31, 2006 (the Notes) and Warrants to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock which expire August 31, 2007 (the Warrants). The Notes are convertible at
$0.70 per share of common stock and the Warrants entitle the holder to purchase a number of
shares of the Companys common stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common stock
into which the Note is convertible. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per
share.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
5. Convertible debentures and warrants continued
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued Notes totaling $904,720 and
paid related transaction fees of $46,280, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$858,440. In addition to the cash paid for transaction fees, 43,268 additional Warrants were
issued to certain placement agents. These Warrants expire August 31, 2010 and are
exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share.
The aggregate value of the Warrants issued in connection with the offering and to the finder
were valued at $427,703 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following
assumptions; risk-free interest rate of 4.02%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of
the expected market price of common stock of 83.59%; and an expected life of two to five
years. The company also determined that the notes contained a beneficial conversion feature
of $430,737.
The value of the Warrants of $427,703, the conversion option of $430,737, and the
transaction fees of $46,280 are considered as debt discount and are being amortized over the
life of the Notes. $22,066 of such discount has been amortized and included in the
accompanying statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
The remaining unamortized debt discount of $882,654 has been netted against the $904,720
Convertible Debentures on the accompanying September 30, 2005 balance sheet.
Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Company issued an additional $96,658 of these Notes.
6. Capital stock
Sale of equity securities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold 1,451,000 units of
common stock, of which 1,400,500 units consist of one share of common stock and one
warrant to acquire a share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, for
net proceeds of $1,342,860. The 1,400,500 warrants were issued to investors as part of an
equity agreement and were not ascribed any value in the accompanying financial statements.
In addition, the Company sold 80,000 units of common stock, of which 80,000 consist of one
share of common stock and one warrant to acquire a share of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.50 per share, for net proceeds of $73,600. The 80,000 warrants were issued to
investors as part of an equity agreement and were not ascribed any value in the
accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2005 the shares were not issued
but the funds were received, and have been reflected as common stock issuable.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
6. Capital stock continued
Sale of equity securities continued
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 119,000 shares (of
which 50,000 relates to the exercise of warrants) of common stock for which payment was
previously received.
Warrants
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 10,000 warrants to an
individual for settlement of a claim. The Company also issued 25,000 warrants to an
individual in exchange for consulting services rendered. The warrants were valued at an
aggregate amount of $18,462 using the Black Scholes pricing model and have been reflected
in the accompanying statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2005.
Intrinsic value of employee options
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and prior, certain employee options were granted
with exercise prices less the than fair market value of the Companys stock at the date of
grant. As the grants were to employees, the intrinsic value method, as allowed under APB
No. 25, was used to calculate the related compensation expense. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, the Company granted 2,085,909 options to certain employees,
exercisable at amounts ranging from $0.85 to $1.10, vested over one year with a ten-year
life, and $116,693 and $789,636 of deferred compensation costs were amortized and
recognized as expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
7. Research and development
The Company has established a research and development facility in Queensland, Australia.
The Company has expanded research and development to include applications of the ZEFS and
CAT-MATE technology to diesel engines, motorbikes, boats, generators, lawnmowers and other
small engines. The Company has also purchased test vehicles, test engines and testing
equipment. The Company completed testing on ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices for multiple
automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, off-road vehicles and stationary engines, the results of
which have been provided to RAND Corporation (RAND) for evaluation. During 2004, RAND
expanded its role with the Company and now oversees the Companys research and development
facility in Australia. The Company also uses third party research and development
facilities in Los Angeles and San Jose, California for the development of our ZEFS and
CAT-MATE devices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company has
spent $1,066,068 and $1,565,177, respectively, on research and development.

8. Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in
the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the
Company had a net loss of $3,051,230 and a negative cash flow from operations of $2,182,036
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and had a working capital deficiency of
$1,652,579 and a stockholders deficiency of $2,611,419 at September 30, 2005. These
factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys
ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue
as a going concern.
9. Commitments and contingencies
Legal matters
On December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal District
Court, Southern District of New York, against its former President and then sole director
Jeffrey A. Muller, and others, alleging that the Company and the other defendants were
engaged in a fraudulent scheme to promote the Companys stock. The SEC complaint alleged
the existence of a promotional campaign using press releases, Internet postings, an
elaborate website, and televised media events to disseminate false and materially
misleading information as part of a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for stock
for the Company, which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On March 22, 2002, the Company
signed a Consent to Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief in settlement
of this action as against the corporation only, which the court approved on July 2, 2002.
Under this settlement, the Company was not required to admit fault and did not pay any
fines or restitution. The SECs charges of fraud and stock manipulation continue against
Mr. Muller and others.

9. Commitments and contingencies continued
Legal matters continued
On July 2, 2002, after an investigation by the Companys newly constituted board of
directors, the Company filed a cross-complaint in the SEC action against Mr. Muller and
others seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement of monies and stock and financial
restitution for a variety of acts and omissions in connection with sales of the Companys
stock and other transactions occurring between 1998 and 2002. Among other things, the
Company alleged that Mr. Muller and certain others sold company stock without providing
adequate consideration to the Company; sold insider shares without making proper
disclosures and failed to make necessary filings required under federal securities laws;
engaged in self-dealing and entered into various undisclosed related-party transactions;
misappropriated for their own use proceeds from sales of the Companys stock; and entered
into various undisclosed arrangements regarding the control, voting and disposition of
their stock. The Company contends that it is entitled to a judgment canceling all of the
approximately 8,716,710 shares of the Companys common stock that were previously obtained
and controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Muller; divesting and preventing any
subsequent holders of the right to exercise options previously held by Mr. Muller for
10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, conversion of an existing preliminary
injunction to a permanent injunction to prevent Mr. Muller from any involvement with the
Company and a monetary judgment against Mr. Muller and others in the amount of several
million dollars.
On July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern District of New York, granted
the Companys application for a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller and others,
which prevented Mr. Muller and other cross-defendants from selling, transferring, or
encumbering any assets and property previously acquired from the Company, from selling or
transferring any of the Companys stock that they may own or control, or from taking any
action to injure the business and from having any direct contact with the Companys
shareholders. The injunctive order also prevents Mr. Muller from engaging in any effort
to exercise control over the Company and from serving as an officer or director of the
Company. The Company believes that it has valid claims; however, there can be no
assurance that an adverse result or settlement would not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys financial position or cash flow.

9. Commitments and contingencies continued
Legal matters continued
In the course of the litigation, the Company has obtained ownership control over Mr.
Mullers claimed patent rights to the ZEFS device. Under a Buy-Sell Agreement between Mr.
Muller and the Company dated December 29, 1998, Mr. Muller, who was listed on the ZEFS
devise patent application as the inventor of the ZEFS device, purported to grant us all
international marketing, manufacturing and distribution rights to the ZEFS device. Those
rights were disputed because an original inventor of the ZEFS device contested Mr.
Mullers legal ability to have conveyed those rights.
In Australia, Mr. Muller entered into a bankruptcy action seeking to overcome the
Companys claims for ownership of the ZEFS device. In conjunction with these litigation
proceedings, a settlement agreement was reached whereby the $10 per unit royalty
previously due to Mr. Muller under his contested Buy-Sell Agreement was terminated and
replaced with a $.20 per unit royalty payable to the bankruptcy trustee. On November 7,
2002, under a settlement agreement executed with the Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee, the
trustee transferred to the Company all ownership and legal rights to this international
patent application for the ZEFS device.
Both the SEC and the Company have filed Motions for Summary Judgment contending that there
are no material issues of fact in contention and as a matter of law, the Court should
grant a judgment against Mr. Muller and the cross-defendants. Mr. Muller has filed a
response contending the motions are without merit or substance. A final decision on these
motions, which potentially would terminate the ongoing litigation, is still pending.
Should the Court not grant summary judgment in favor of the Company, the case will be
scheduled for final disposition in a trial.
Mr. Muller and several of the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed by
the Company and moved for summary judgment in their favor. On December 21, 2004, Judge
George B. Daniels denied the cross-defendants motion to dismiss the Companys
cross-complaint, denied the request to vacate the July 2, 2002 preliminary injunction and
denied the request for damages against the Company. The court also refused to grant a
summary judgment in favor of the cross-defendants and dismissed Mr. Mullers claims
against the Company for indemnification for his legal costs and for damages resulting from
the litigation. Neither Mr. Muller nor any of the cross-defendants have filed any
cross-claims against the Company and the Company is not exposed to any liability as a
result of the litigation, except for possibly incurring legal fees and expenses should the
Company lose the litigation.

Although the outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty,
the Company is optimistic that the Courts ruling will either significantly narrow the
issues for any later trial or will result in a final disposition of the case in a manner
favorable to the Company. The Company believes that they have valid claims; however,
there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on the pending motions or a
trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position or cash flow.
In April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Companys former sole director and executive
officer, filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Central District of
California, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and alleging unfair competition in
connection with a claimed prior patent interest in the ZEFS device and stock option
rights. In seeking declaratory relief, Mr. Muller is seeking to have the patent rights in
the ZEFS device that were previously transferred to the Company by Mr. Mullers bankruptcy
trustee declared null and void.
The Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed before the Los Angeles Superior
Court, Civ. No. BC 312401, by Terracourt Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation
(Terracourt), claiming breach of contract and related remedies from promises allegedly
made by the former president of the Company in 1999. Terracourt sought specific
performance of the former presidents alleged promises to transfer to Terracourt an
aggregate 480,000 shares of the Companys common stock for office consultant and
multimedia services. The complaint was filed on March 18, 2004. Terracourt also filed a
Statement of Damages seeking costs of the lawsuit and general damages of $2 million. The
case proceeded to trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court in May, 2005. In June, 2005,
the Judge issued a statement of decision which denied Terracourts claims for 450,000
shares of stock, monetary damages, and costs of the lawsuit. The Court also ruled that
Terracourt was entitled to receive an option exercisable for 30,000 shares of the
Companys common stock, exercisable at $.001 per share (par value). Both parties filed
motions for a new trial on the issue of the opinion. Subsequently, the parties settled the lawsuit for a
payment by the Company to Terracourt of $2,500 and asked the court to vacate the judgment
and dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, which action the court took on September 30, 2005.

9. Commitments and contingencies continued
Legal matters continued
This recent lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arises out of the same claims that are the
subject of ongoing litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of
New York, in which the Company has previously obtained a preliminary injunction against
Mr. Muller barring him from any involvement with the Company and preventing Mr. Muller,
his agents or assigns, from exercising any claimed rights to the Companys assets or
stock. Mr. Muller previously filed the same complaint in the Federal District Court for
the Southern District of New York, which claim is pending dismissal. On December 28,
2004, Federal District Court Judge George B. Daniels issued a decision dismissing motions
filed by Mr. Muller against the Companys cross-claims. The dismissal of those motions
involved similar causes of action as those contained in Mr. Mullers recent lawsuit
commenced in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California. Since the
case in New York is still pending, the filing of the new lawsuit in California is subject
to various defenses which should result in the dismissal of the new lawsuit.
The Company intends to vigorously defend against any bifurcation of the lawsuit that is
ongoing in New York and will move to dismiss and/or to transfer the recently filed
complaint to Judge Daniels in New York for any eventual decision. While the Company
believes that it has valid claims, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or
outcome on the pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or cash flow of the Company.
Employment agreements
In July 2005, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an individual to serve
as a Vice President of Operations for the Company. The agreement expires December 31,
2005, with an automatic one-year extension and provides for annual base compensation of
not less than $120,000 per year. During the employment term, the individual is eligible
to participate in certain incentive plans, stock option plans and similar arrangements in
accordance with the Companys recommendations at award levels consistent and commensurate
with the position and duties hereunder.

10. Restatement
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company discovered an error in the previously
reported September 30, 2004 financial statements related to the valuation of shares issued
for services and options granted to employees and non-employees. These financial
statements reflect the correction of the error in the September 30, 2004 amounts. The
correction of this error resulted in an increase in net loss of $931,742, an increase in
additional paid in capital of $977,070 and an increase in deferred compensation of
$47,210.

available to us on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part I,
Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB and the Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
We are a development stage company that has not yet generated revenues. The companys primary
historical focus has been on research and development of proprietary devices that are designed to
reduce harmful emissions, and improve fuel efficiency and engine performance on equipment and
vehicles driven by internal combustion engines. We are currently in a transitional phase from
research and development to initial marketing and early sales of our devices.
Our devices are called ZEFS and CAT-MATE. Previously, we devoted the bulk of our efforts
to the completion of the design, the development of our production models and initial efforts for the promotion of our
products in the marketplace worldwide. Expenses have been funded primarily through the sale of company
stock and debt. We have taken actions to secure our intellectual property rights to the ZEFS and CAT-MATE
devices.
During the third quarter of 2005, we established a product development and testing center in
Morgan Hill, California, which we currently expect will be fully operational by December 2005. We are
continuing our marketing efforts to international governmental entities in cooperation with the
United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
to eventually sell or license our ZEFS and CAT-MATE products and technology. We anticipate that
these efforts will continue during the remainder of 2005. We sold our first devices early in the
fourth quarter of 2005 and we
24
will begin to generate revenue late in the fourth quarter of 2005 or
early in 2006. We will need to raise additional capital in 2006, and possibly beyond, to fund our
operational and other expenses until our revenue base grows sufficiently.
Results of Operations
To date, we have not generated any revenues and our business continues in the development
stage. We have focused our efforts on verifying and developing our technologies and devices and
commencing marketing efforts for their license or sale. We began selling our devices after the end
of the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, and we expect to begin generating revenue in
late 2005 or early 2006.
General and administrative expenses were $759,087 for the three-month period ended September
30, 2005, compared to $864,653 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 (as restated), a
decrease of $105,566. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash
amortization of deferred compensation and corporate expenses, partially offset by increases in
payroll expenses, professional fees, consulting fees, interest, office and computer expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $1,983,186 for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2005, compared to $2,362,205 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 (as restated),
a decrease of $379,019. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash
amortization of deferred compensation, partially offset by increases in payroll expenses,
professional fees, consulting fees, travel expense, office expense, corporate, interest and
advertising expenses.
Research and development expenses were $452,571 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2005, compared to $162,458 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 (as restated), an
increase of $290,113. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in research by RAND
Corporation (RAND), product research, testing, product development and prototype expenses.
Research and development expenses were $1,066,068 for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2005, compared to $1,565,177 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 (as restated),
a decrease of $499,109. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash
research, partially offset by increases in research by RAND, product research, testing, product
development and prototype expenses.
We expect our operating costs to increase during the balance of fiscal year 2005, primarily as
a result of anticipated increases in research and development expenses, general and administrative
expenses, and marketing expenses, as we continue production and sales activities during late 2005.
We had a net loss of $1,211,658 or $.03 per share for the three-month period ended September
30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $2,633,114 or $.07 per share for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2004 (as restated). We had a net loss of $3,051,230 or $.08 per share for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $5.533,871 or $.16 per share
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 (as restated). We have relied upon our 2004 Stock Option Plan to compensate consultants and employees who have assisted in developing and
executing our business plan. This reliance, together with issuances of stock by us in connection
with private offerings of our securities, has significantly narrowed the loss per
share by increasing the amount of the Companys outstanding common stock. See Liquidity and Capital Resources
below. We expect to incur additional net loss in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005,
primarily attributable to continued general and administrative
expenses and marketing-related expenditures without the benefit of any revenue for the
remainder of the year.
25
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the development stage since our
inception in 1998. As of September 30, 2005, we had cash of $429,754 and an accumulated deficit of
$20,182,118. Our negative operating cash flow since inception has been funded primarily through the
sale of common stock, issuance of convertible notes, and, to a lesser degree, by proceeds we
received from the exercise of options and warrants.
The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the
normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had a net
loss of $3,051,230 and a negative cash flow from operations of $2,182,036 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2005 and had a working capital deficiency of $1,652,579 and a
stockholders deficiency of $2,611,419 as of September 30, 2005. These factors raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent on our ability to raise additional funds and implement our business plan. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to
continue as a going concern.
From July 24, 2004 through July 22, 2005, we engaged in a private offering (the Stock
Offering) of units comprised of shares of our common stock and one-year warrants to purchase an
equal number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Stock Offering
terminated on July 22, 2005. From July 1, 2005 through July 22, 2005, we received aggregate gross
proceeds of $199,500 and aggregate net proceeds of $183,540 in connection with the sale of 199,500
shares of our common stock to nine purchasers. The total amount raised during the Stock Offering
was $2,872,000 gross proceeds and $2,659,044 net proceeds. See Notes 5 and 10 to Notes to
Financial Statements and Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds.
As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 28, 2005, on July 25, 2005 we extended the expiration date of each of the
warrants issued in the Stock Offering by 180 days from its original expiration date. No additional
consideration was paid by the purchasers of the units for such extension.
Between August 1, and September 23, 2005, we conducted a new offering (the Interim Offering)
of our 9% convertible notes due July 31, 2006 and warrants. The notes are convertible into shares
of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $.70 per share, anytime prior to maturity at
the election of the noteholder and may be converted at our election under certain circumstances.
The warrants are convertible, at $1.00 per share, for 150% of the number of shares into which the
notes are convertible and may be exercised until August 31, 2007. The Interim Offering was made to
the purchasers of the units in the Stock Offering and a limited number of individuals who are not
U.S. persons as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The total amount subscribed for in the Interim Financing was $1,501,378
gross proceeds ($1,428,432 net proceeds). Of this amount, $904,720 gross proceeds ($858,440 net
proceeds) was received by the Company during the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, and
the balance of $596,658 gross proceeds ($569,992 net proceeds) is expected to be received by the
Company during the fourth quarter of 2005.
We are relying on the proceeds of the Stock Offering and the Interim Offering to provide
additional working capital for our needs for the next several months. We believe that we have
sufficient cash to fund our operations through the remainder of 2005.
We have also retained the services of an exclusive placement agent to work with us from
September 1, 2005, to provide additional capital that we need to continue to execute on our
business plan. In this
regard, on October 10, 2005, we commenced an offering (the Bridge Financing) of our 9%
subordinated convertible promissory notes and warrants. The Bridge Financing is being made
exclusively through our placement agent. The Bridge Financing is ongoing and, as of the date of
the filing of this Report, no sales have been consummated under the Bridge Financing.
We
believe that exercises of in-the-money options and warrants, with
various expiration dates through 2007,
may also provide some of the proceeds needed to meet our capital
requirements, together with sales of our securities in connection with the efforts of our placement
agent in the Bridge Financing and other financings we may undertake. However, there can be no
assurance that
26
additional equity or debt financing will be available or available on terms
favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be required to delay, reduce
the scope of, or eliminate, our research and development programs, reduce any marketing activities
or relinquish rights to technologies that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these Financial Statements and related
disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on
an on-going basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful life of the
assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies
have a significant impact on the results that we report in our Financial Statements. The SEC
considers an entitys most critical accounting policies to be those policies that are both most
important to the portrayal of a companys financial condition and results of operations and those
that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the
need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at the time of estimation. We
believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, require significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our Financial Statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Certain significant estimates were made in connection with preparing our financial statements as
described in Note 1 to Notes to Financial Statements. See Item 7, Financial Statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation to employees as defined by using the intrinsic-value
method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees.
We account for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees using the guidance of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and EITF No. 96-18: Accounting for Equity
Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services, whereby the fair value of such option and warrant grants is determined using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the earlier of the date at which the non-employees
performance is completed or a performance commitment is reached.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs. This Statement amends the guidance in
APB
No. 43 Chapter 4 Inventory Pricing, to require items such as idle facility costs, excessive
spoilage, double freight and rehandling costs to be expensed in the current period, regardless if
they are abnormal amounts or not. This Statement will become effective for us in the first quarter
of 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R), which revises SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123R also supersedes APB No. 25 and amends SFAS No. 95,
Statement of Cash Flows. In general, the accounting required by SFAS 123R is similar to that of
SFAS
27
No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123 gave companies a choice to either recognize the fair value of
stock options in their income statements or disclose the pro forma income statement effect of the
fair value of stock options in the notes to the financial statements. SFAS 123R eliminates that
choice and requires the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including the fair
value of grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over
the option vesting period. SFAS 123R must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005 (December 15, 2005
for small business filers). Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the timing and manner in which it will adopt SFAS 123R. As
permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using
APB 25s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, adoption of SFAS 123Rs fair value method will have
an effect on results of operations, although it will have no impact on overall financial position.
The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on
levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had SFAS 123R been adopted in prior
periods, the effect would have approximated the SFAS 123 pro forma net loss and loss per share
disclosures as shown above. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of
recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating
cash flow as currently required, thereby reducing net operating cash flows and increasing net
financing cash flows in periods after adoption.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:
Our management evaluated, with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quaterly Report on
Form 10-QSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) are inadequate to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms. We are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed,
summarized and reported on a timely basis. This plan is dependent, in part, upon reallocation of
responsibilities among various personnel, possibly hiring additional personnel and additional
funding. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless
of how remote.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting:
There was no change in our internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-QSB that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal District Court,
Southern District of New York, against us, our former President and then sole director Jeffrey A.
Muller, and others, alleging that we and the other defendants were engaged in a fraudulent scheme
to promote our stock. The SEC complaint alleged the existence of a promotional campaign using press
releases, Internet
postings, an elaborate website, and televised media events to disseminate false and materially
misleading information as part of a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for stock in our
corporation, which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On March 22, 2002, we signed a Consent to
Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief in settlement of this action as against the
corporation only, which the court approved on July 2, 2002. Under this settlement, we were not
required to admit fault and did not pay any fines or restitution. The SECs charges of fraud and
stock manipulation continue against Mr. Muller and others.
28
On July 2, 2002, after an investigation by our newly constituted board of directors, we filed
a cross-complaint in the SEC action against Mr. Muller and others seeking injunctive relief,
disgorgement of monies and stock and financial restitution for a variety of acts and omissions in
connection with sales of our stock and other transactions occurring between 1998 and 2002. Among
other things, we alleged that Mr. Muller and certain others sold Company stock without providing
adequate consideration to us; sold insider shares without making proper disclosures and failed to
make necessary filing required under federal securities laws; engaged in self-dealing and entered
into various undisclosed related-party transactions; misappropriated for their own use proceeds
from sales of our stock; and entered into various undisclosed arrangement regarding the control,
voting and disposition of their stock. We contend that we are entitled to a judgment canceling all
of the approximately 8,716,710 shares of our common stock that was previously obtained and
controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Muller; divesting and preventing any subsequent holders
of the right to exercise options previously held by Mr. Muller for 10,000,000 shares of our common
stock, conversion of an existing preliminary injunction to a permanent injunction to prevent Mr.
Muller from any involvement with the Company and a monetary judgment against Mr. Muller and others
in the amount of several million dollars.
On July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern District of New York, granted our
application for a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller and others, which prevented Mr. Muller
and other cross-defendants from selling, transferring, or encumbering any assets and property
previously acquired from us, from selling or transferring any of our stock that they may own or
control, or from taking any action to injure us or our business and from having any direct contact
with our shareholders. The injunctive order also prevents Mr. Muller from engaging in any effort to
exercise control over our corporation and from serving as an officer or director of our company.
While we believe that we have valid claims, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or
settlement would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or cash flow.
In the course of the litigation, we have obtained ownership control over Mr. Mullers claimed
patent rights to the ZEFS device. Under a Buy-Sell Agreement between Mr. Muller and dated December
29, 1998, Mr. Muller, who was listed on the ZEFS devise patent application as the inventor of the
ZEFS device, purported to grant us all international marketing, manufacturing and distribution
rights to the ZEFS device. Those rights were disputed because an original inventor of the ZEFS
device contested Mr. Mullers legal ability to have conveyed those rights.
In Australia, Mr. Muller entered into a bankruptcy action seeking to overcome our claims for
ownership of the ZEFS device. In conjunction with these litigation proceedings, a settlement
agreement was reached with the bankruptcy trustee whereby the $10 per unit royalty previously due
to Mr. Muller under his contested Buy-Sell Agreement was terminated and replaced with a $.20 per
unit royalty payable to the bankruptcy trustee. On November 7, 2002, under a settlement agreement
executed with Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee, the trustee transferred to us all ownership and
legal rights to this international patent application for the ZEFS device.
Both the SEC and we have filed Motions for Summary Judgment contending that there are no
material issues of fact in contention and as a matter of law, the Court should grant a judgment
against Mr. Muller and the cross-defendants. Mr. Muller has filed a response contending the motions
are without merit or substance. A final decision on these motions, which potentially would
terminate the ongoing litigation, is still pending. Should the Court not grant summary judgment in
our favor, the case will be scheduled for final disposition in a trial.
Mr. Muller and several of the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed by us
and moved for summary judgment in their favor. On December 28, 2004, Judge George B. Daniels,
denied the cross-defendants motion to dismiss our cross-complaint, denied the defendants request
to vacate the July
2, 2002 preliminary injunction and denied their request for damages against us. The court also
refused to grant a summary judgment in favor of the cross-defendants and dismissed Mr. Mullers
claims against us for indemnification for his legal costs and for damages resulting from the
litigation. Neither Mr. Muller nor any of the cross-defendants have filed any cross-claims against
us and we are not exposed to any liability as a result of the litigation, except for possibly
incurring legal fees and expenses should we lose the litigation.
Although the outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, we
are optimistic that the Courts ruling will either significantly narrow the issues for any later
trial or will result
29
in a final disposition of the case in a manner favorable to us. While we
believe that we have valid claims, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on
the pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or cash flow.
In April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Companys former sole director and executive officer,
filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, seeking
declaratory and injunctive relief and alleging unfair competition in connection with a claimed
prior patent interest in the ZEFS device and stock option rights. In seeking declaratory relief,
Mr. Muller is seeking to have the patent rights in the ZEFS device that were previously transferred
to us by Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee declared null and void.
This recent lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arises out of the same claims that are the subject
of ongoing litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which
we have previously obtained a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller barring him from any
involvement with the Company and preventing Mr. Muller, his agents or assigns, from exercising any
claimed rights to our assets or stock. Mr. Muller previously filed the same complaint in the
Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, which claim is still pending. On
December 28, 2004, Federal District Court Judge George B. Daniels issued a decision dismissing
motions filed by Mr. Muller against our cross-claims. The dismissal of those motions involved
similar causes of action as those contained in Mr. Mullers recent lawsuit commenced in the Federal
District Court for the Central District of California. Since the case in New York is still pending,
we believe that the filing of the new lawsuit in California is subject to various defenses which
should result in the dismissal of the new lawsuit.
We have filed a Motion to Dismiss this new complaint or alternatively, to transfer this action
to the Federal District Court in New York for disposition by the same Federal District Judge
handling the New York litigation. While we believe that we have valid claims and defenses, there
can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on the pending motions or a trial of this
case would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or cash flow.
We were named as a defendant in a complaint filed before the Los Angeles Superior Court, Civ.
No. BC 312401, by Terracourt Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation (Terracourt), claiming breach of
contract and related remedies from promises allegedly made by the former president of the Company
in 1999. Terracourt sought specific performance of the former presidents (Jeffrey Muller) alleged
promises to transfer to Terracourt an aggregate 480,000 shares of our common stock for office
consultant and multimedia services. The complaint was filed on March 18, 2004. Terracourt also
filed a Statement of Damages seeking costs of the lawsuit and general damages of $2 million. The
case proceeded to trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court in May, 2005. In June, 2005, the judge
issued a decision which denied Terracourts claims for 450,000 shares of stock, monetary damages
and costs of the lawsuit. The Court also ruled that Terracourt was entitled to receive an option
exercisable for 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock, exercisable at $.001 per share (par
value). Both parties filed motions for a new trial on the issue of the option. Subsequently, the
parties settled the lawsuit for a payment by the Company to Terracourt of $2,500 and asked the
court to vacate the judgment and dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, which action the court took on
September 30, 2005.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold an aggregate 199,500
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 199,500 additional shares of common stock at $1.00
per share, to certain investors in connection with the Companys Stock Offering. Gross proceeds to
the Company in connection with these issuances were $199,500 and net proceeds were $183,540.
Between August 1, and September 23, 2005, we conducted the Interim Offering of our 9%
convertible notes due July 31, 2006 and warrants. The notes are convertible into shares of our
common stock at an initial conversion price of $.70 per share, anytime prior to maturity at the
election of the noteholder and may be converted at our election under certain circumstances. The
warrants are convertible, at $1.00 per share, for 150% of the number of shares into which the notes
are convertible and may be exercised until August 31, 2007. The Interim Offering was made to the
purchasers of the units in the Stock Offering and a limited number of individuals who are not U.S.
persons as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The total amount subscribed
30
for in the Interim Financing was $1,501,378 gross
proceeds ($1,428,432 net proceeds). Of this amount, $904,720 gross proceeds ($858,440 net
proceeds) was received by the Company during the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, and
the balance of $596,658 gross proceeds ($569,992 net proceeds) is expected to be received by the
Company during the fourth quarter of 2005. Of the total number of warrants issued by the Company,
warrants exercisable for 53,627 shares of the Companys common stock were issued to the Companys
placement agent. If all of the warrants issued in the Interim Offering were exercised by all the
warrant holders, the Company would be obligated to issue an additional 3,270,859 shares of its
common stock to such persons.
The issuances of shares, convertible notes and warrants described above were made in reliance
on the exemptions from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or Regulations D or S promulgated thereunder.

provisions, terms, or conditions contained in this Agreement shall not waive, affect,
or diminish any right of the first party at any time or times thereafter to demand

contained in this Agreement. Any actual waiver of a provision, term, or condition

securities which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the
proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person; provided, however,
that if a Person becomes a beneficial owner of 19.9% or more of the combined voting
power of STWAs then outstanding securities by reason of share repurchases by STWA and
thereafter becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of any additional
voting securities of STWA, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred
with respect to such Person under Clause (a).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Executives
employment is terminated and he reasonably demonstrates that such termination (i) was
at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention of taking steps
reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control and who effects a Change in
Control, or (ii) otherwise occurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, a
Change in Control which actually occurs, then for all purposes hereof, a Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the day immediately prior to the date of
such termination of him employment.

2.
Premises.
2.1
Letting.
Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the
Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this
Lease, or that may have been used in calculating Rent, is an approximation which the Parties agree
is reasonable and any payments based thereon are not subject to revision whether or not the actual
size is more or less.
NOTE: Lessee is advised to verify the actual size prior to executing this
Lease.
2.2
Condition.
Lessor shall deliver that portion of the Premises contained within the
Building (
Unit
) to Lessee broom clean and free of debris on the Commencement Date or the Early
Possession Date, whichever first occurs (
Start Date
), and, so long as the required service
contracts described in Paragraph 7.1(b) below are obtained by Lessee and in effect within thirty
days following the Start Date, warrants that the existing electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler,
lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (
HVAC
), loading doors, sump pumps,
if any, and all other such elements in the Unit, other than those constructed by Lessee, shall
be in good operating condition on said date, that the structural elements of the roof, bearing
walls and foundation of the Unit shall be free of material defects, and that the Unit does not
contain hazardous levels of any mold or fungi defined as toxic under applicable state or federal
law. If a non-compliance with such warranty exists as of the Start Date, or if one of such systems
or elements should malfunction or fail within the appropriate warranty period, Lessor shall, as
Lessors sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature
and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, rectify same at Lessors expense.
The warranty periods shall be as follows: (i) 6 months as to the HVAC systems, and (ii) 30 days
as to the remaining systems and other elements of the Unit. If Lessee does not give Lessor the
required notice within the appropriate warranty period, correction of any such non-compliance,
malfunction or failure shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessees sole cost and expense (except
for the repairs to the fire sprinkler systems, roof, foundations, and/or bearing walls see
Paragraph 7).
2.3
Compliance.
Lessor warrants that to the best of its knowledge the improvements on the
Premises and the Common Areas comply with the building codes that were in effect at the time that
each such improvement, or portion thereof, was constructed, and also with all applicable laws,
covenants or restrictions of record, regulations, and ordinances in effect on the Start Date
(
Applicable Requirements
). Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the
Premises, modifications which may be required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar
laws as a result of Lessees use (see Paragraph 49), or to any Alterations or Utility Installations
(as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee.
NOTE: Lessee is responsible for
determining whether or not the Applicable Requirements, and especially the zoning are appropriate
for Lessees intended use, and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be
allowed.
If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise
provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the
nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessors expense. If Lessee does
not give Lessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within 6 months following
the Start Date, correction of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessees
sole cost and expense. If the Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during
the term of this Lease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Unit, Premises
and/or Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other
physical modification of the Unit, Premises and/or Building (
Capital Expenditure
), Lessor and
Lessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows:
(a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital Expenditures are required as a result
of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in
general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this Lease and the cost thereof exceeds
6 months Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in
writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessees termination notice that Lessor has elected to
pay the difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to 6 months Base Rent. If
Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires
such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor written notice specifying a termination date at
least 90 days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than the
last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital
Expenditure.
(b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee
shall allocate the obligation to pay for the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the
Premises pursuant to the formula set out in Paragraph 7.1(d); provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably
determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall have the
option to terminate this Lease upon 90 days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies
Lessor, in writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessors termination notice that Lessee will
pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate, and fails to tender its
share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with
Interest, from Rent until Lessors share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable
to finance Lessors share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this
Lease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall have the right
to terminate this Lease upon 30 days written notice to Lessor.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditures are
intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the
Capital Expenditures are instead triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in
use, change in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event, Lessee
shall either: (i) immediately cease such changed use or intensity of use and/or take such other
steps as may be necessary to eliminate the requirement for such Capital Expenditure, or (ii)
complete such Capital Expenditure at its own expense. Lessee shall not have any right to terminate
this Lease.
2.4
Acknowledgements.
Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by Lessor and/or
Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited
to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and
compliance with Applicable Requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act), and their
suitability for Lessees intended use, (b) Lessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary
with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its
occupancy of the Premises, and (c) neither Lessor, Lessors agents, nor Brokers have made any oral
or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in
this Lease. In addition, Lessor acknowledges that: (i) Brokers have made no representations,
promises or warranties concerning Lessees ability to honor the Lease or suitability to occupy the
Premises, and (ii) it is Lessors sole responsibility to investigate the financial capability
and/or suitability of all proposed tenants.
2.5
Lessee as Prior Owner/Occupant.
The warranties made by Lessor in Paragraph 2 shall be of
no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start Date Lessee was the owner or occupant of the
Premises. In such event, Lessee shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work.
2.6
Vehicle Parking.
Lessee shall be entitled to use the number of Parking Spaces specified
in Paragraph 1.2(b) on those portions of the Common Areas designated from time to time by Lessor
for parking. Lessee shall not use more parking spaces than said number. Said parking spaces shall
be used for parking by vehicles no larger than full-size passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks,
herein called
Permitted Size Vehicles.

3.
Term.
3.1
Term.
The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of this Lease are as
specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2
Early Possession.
If Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early
possession. All other terms of this Lease (including but not limited to the obligations to pay
Lessees Share of Common Area Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums and to
maintain the Premises) shall be in effect during such period. Any such early possession shall not
affect the Expiration Date.
3.3
Delay In Possession.
Lessor agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Commencement Date. If, despite said
efforts, Lessor is unable to deliver possession as agreed, Lessor shall not be subject to any
liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or change the
Expiration Date. Lessee shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other
obligations until Lessor delivers possession of the Premises and any period of rent abatement
that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of the delivery of possession and
continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed, but minus any days of
delay caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee. If possession is not delivered within 60 days
after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing within 10 days after
the end of such 60 day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged
from all obligations hereunder. If such written notice is not received by Lessor within said 10
day period, Lessees right to cancel shall terminate. Except as otherwise provided, if possession
is not tendered to Lessee by the Start Date and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid,
any period of rent abatement that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of
delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed
under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee. If
possession of the Premises is not delivered within 4 months after the Commencement Date, this Lease
shall terminate unless other agreements are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing.
3.4
Lessee Compliance.
Lessor shall not be required to tender possession of the Premises to
Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5).
Pending delivery of such evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations under
this Lease from and after the Start Date, including the payment of Rent, notwithstanding Lessors
election to withhold possession pending receipt of such evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee
is required to perform any other conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the Start
Date shall occur but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are satisfied.

maintenance thereof, shall be equitably allocated by Lessor to all buildings in the Project.
(c) The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and services set forth in Subparagraph

the same or some of them.
(d) Lessees Share of Common Area Operating Expenses is payable monthly on the same day as the

(but not more than once each year) Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a reasonably detailed statement
showing Lessees Share of the actual Common Area Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding
year. If Lessees payments during such year exceed Lessees Share, Lessor shall credit the amount
of such over-payment against Lessees future payments. If Lessees payments during such year were
less than Lessees Share, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within 10 days
after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of the statement.
(e) Except as provided in paragraph 4.2(a)(viii), Common Area Operating Expenses shall not
include the cost of replacing equipment or capital components such as the roof, foundations,
exterior walls or Common Area capital improvements, such as the parking lot paving, elevators,
fences that have a useful life for accounting purposes of 5 years or more.
(f) Common Area Operating Expenses shall not include any expenses paid by any tenant directly
to third parties, or as to which Lessor is otherwise reimbursed by any third party, other tenant,
or insurance proceeds.
4.3
Payment.
Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by Lessor in lawful money of
the United States, without offset or deduction (except as specifically permitted in this Lease), on
or before the day on which it is due. All monetary amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole
dollar. In the event that any statement or invoice prepared by Lessor is inaccurate such
inaccuracy shall not constitute a waiver and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the amount set forth
in this Lease. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full calendar
month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month. Payment of Rent shall
be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from
time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less than the amount then due
shall not be a waiver of Lessors rights to the balance of such Rent, regardless of Lessors
endorsement of any check so stating. In the event that any check, draft, or other instrument of
payment given by Lessee to Lessor is dishonored for any reason, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the
sum of $25 in addition to any Late Charge and Lessor, at its option, may require all future Rent be
paid by cashiers check. Payments will be applied first to accrued late charges and attorneys
fees, second to accrued interest, then to Base Rent and Common Area Operating Expenses, and any
remaining amount to any other outstanding charges or costs.
5.
Security Deposit.
Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the Security Deposit
as security for Lessees faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails
to pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any
portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or
compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by
reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Lessee shall
within 10 days after written request therefor deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said
Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent increases during the
term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit additional monies with
Lessor so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion
to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should
the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Lessee or to
accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit
to the extent necessary, in Lessors reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and
tear that the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs
during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessors
reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies with Lessor
as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based
on such change in financial condition. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit
separate from its general accounts. Within 14 days after the expiration or termination of this
Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security Deposit only to unpaid Rent, and otherwise within 30
days after the Premises have been vacated pursuant to Paragraph
7.4(c) below, Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by
Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest
or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.
6.
Use.
6.1
Use.
Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Agreed Use, or any other legal
use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or
permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance,
or that disturbs occupants of or causes damage to neighboring premises or properties. Other than
guide, signal and seeing eye dogs, Lessee shall not keep or allow in the Premises any pets,
animals, birds, fish, or reptiles. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to
any written request for a modification of the Agreed Use, so long as the same will not impair the
structural integrity of the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, and/or is not
significantly more burdensome to the Project. If Lessor elects to withhold consent, Lessor shall
within 7 days

toner, liquid paper, glue, etc.) and common household cleaning materials, so long as such use
is in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the
Premises or neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose
Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may condition its consent to any
Reportable Use upon receiving such additional assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to
protect itself, the public, the Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination,
injury and/or liability, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before
Lease expiration or termination) of protective modifications (such as concrete encasements) and/or

or for Lessee, or any third party (provided, however, that Lessee shall have no liability under
this Lease with respect to underground migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from
areas outside of the Project not caused or contributed to by Lessee). Lessees obligations shall
include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or
the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation, removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release

as defined in paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the Premises, in which event Lessee shall be responsible
for such payment. Lessee shall cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor,
including allowing Lessor and Lessors agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at
reasonable times in order to carry out Lessors investigative and remedial responsibilities.
(g)
Lessor Termination Option.

7.4
Ownership; Removal; Surrender; and Restoration.
(a)
Ownership.
Subject to Lessors right to require removal or elect ownership as hereinafter
provided, all Alterations and Utility Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee,
but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time, elect in writing to be the owner
of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless
otherwise instructed per paragraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor
and be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises.
(b)
Removal.
By delivery to Lessee of written notice from Lessor not earlier than 90 and not
later than 30 days prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Lessor may require that any or all
Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the expiration or termination of
this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned
Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required consent.
(c)
Surrender; Restoration.
Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the Expiration Date or any
earlier termination date, with all of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and
free of debris, and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration that would
have been prevented by good maintenance practice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Lease is
for 12 months or less, then Lessee shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as delivered
to Lessee on the Start Date with NO allowance for ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall repair any
damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade Fixtures, Lessee owned
Alterations and/or Utility Installations, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any
storage tank installed by or for Lessee. Lessee shall also completely remove from the Premises any
and all Hazardous Substances brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (except
Hazardous Substances which were deposited via underground migration from areas outside of the
Premises) even if such removal would require Lessee to perform or pay for work that exceeds
statutory requirements. Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by
Lessee. Any personal property of Lessee not removed on or before the Expiration Date or any
earlier termination date shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee and may be disposed of or
retained by Lessor as Lessor may desire. The failure by Lessee to timely vacate the Premises
pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express written consent of Lessor shall constitute a
holdover under the provisions of Paragraph 26 below.
8.
Insurance; Indemnity.
8.1
Payment of Premium Increases.
(a) As used herein, the term
Insurance Cost Increase
is defined as any increase in the
actual cost of the insurance applicable to the Building and/or the Project and required to be
carried by Lessor, pursuant to Paragraphs 8.2(b), 8.3(a) and 8.3(b), (
Required Insurance
), over
and above the Base Premium, as hereinafter defined, calculated on an annual basis. Insurance Cost
Increase shall include, but not be limited to, requirements of the holder of a mortgage or
deed of trust covering the Premises, Building and/or Project, increased valuation of the
Premises, Building and/or Project, and/or a general premium rate increase. The term Insurance Cost
Increase shall not, however, include any premium increases resulting from the nature of the
occupancy of any other tenant of the Building. If the parties insert a dollar amount in Paragraph
1.9, such amount shall be considered the
Base Premium.
The Base Premium shall be the annual
premium applicable to the 12 month period immediately preceding the Start Date. If, however, the
Project was not insured for the entirety of such 12 month period, then the Base Premium shall be
the lowest annual premium reasonably obtainable for the Required Insurance as of the Start Date,
assuming the most nominal use possible of the Building. In no event, however, shall Lessee be
responsible for any portion of the premium cost attributable to liability insurance coverage in
excess of $2,000,000 procured under Paragraph 8.2(b).
(b) Lessee shall pay any Insurance Cost Increase to Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 4.2.
Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall
be prorated to coincide with the corresponding Start Date or Expiration Date.
8.2
Liability Insurance.
(a)
Carried by Lessee.
Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a Commercial General Liability
policy of insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor as an additional insured against claims for bodily
injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of the ownership, use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall
be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than $2,000,000. Lessee shall add Lessor as an
additional insured by means of an endorsement at least as broad as the Insurance Service
Organizations Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement and coverage shall
also be extended to include damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy
shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but
shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an
insured contract
for the
performance of Lessees indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall
not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. Lessee
shall provide an endorsement on its liability policy(ies) which provides that its insurance shall
be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose
insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.
(b)
Carried by Lessor.
Lessor shall maintain liability insurance as described in Paragraph
8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee.
Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured therein.
8.3
Property Insurance Building, Improvements and Rental Value.
(a)
Building and Improvements.
Lessor shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of
insurance in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor, any ground-lessor, and to any Lender
insuring loss or damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full
insurable replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the
amount required by any Lender, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available
insurable value thereof. Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and
Lessees personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is
available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks
of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless
required by a Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any
Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any
portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also

(a)
Property Damage.
Lessee shall obtain and maintain insurance coverage on all of Lessees
personal property, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed
$1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the
replacement of personal property, Trade Fixtures and
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written
evidence that such insurance is in force.
(b)
Business Interruption.
Lessee shall obtain and maintain loss of income and extra expense
insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable
to all perils commonly insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or attributable
to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.
(c)
No Representation of Adequate Coverage.
Lessor makes no representation that the limits or
forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate to cover Lessees property, business
operations or obligations under this Lease.
8.5
Insurance Policies.
Insurance required herein shall be by companies duly licensed or
admitted to transact business in the state where the Premises are located, and maintaining during
the policy term a General Policyholders Rating of at least A-, VI, as set forth in the most
current issue of Bests Insurance Guide, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender.
Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required insurance
policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Start Date, deliver to Lessor certified copies of
policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required
insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after
30 days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least 10 days prior to the expiration of
such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
insurance binders evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the
cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such
policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of the remaining term of this
Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance
required to be carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and
maintain the same.
8.6
Waiver of Subrogation.
Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee and Lessor
each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right to recover damages against
the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required
to be insured against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount
of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto. The Parties agree to
have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not
invalidated thereby.
8.7
Indemnity.
Except for Lessors gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessee shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessors master
or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or
damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys and consultants fees, expenses and/or liabilities
arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the Premises by
Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing
matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at Lessees expense by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not
have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified.
8.8
Exemption of Lessor from Liability.
Lessor shall not be liable for injury or damage to
the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessees employees,
contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage
or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, indoor air
quality, the presence of mold or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes,
fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the Building, or from other sources or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor nor from the failure of
Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other lease in the Project. Notwithstanding Lessors
negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to
Lessees business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.
8.9
Failure to Provide Insurance.
Lessee acknowledges that any failure on its part to obtain
or maintain the insurance required herein will expose Lessor to risks and potentially cause Lessor
to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to
ascertain. Accordingly, for any month or portion thereof that Lessee does not maintain the
required insurance and/or does not provide Lessor with the required binders or certificates
evidencing the existence of the required insurance, the Base Rent shall be automatically
increased, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, by an amount equal to 10% of the then
existing Base Rent or $100, whichever is greater. The parties agree that such increase in Base
Rent represents fair and reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will
incur by reason of Lessees failure to maintain the required insurance. Such increase in Base Rent
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessees Default or Breach with respect to the failure to
maintain such insurance, prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder, nor relieve Lessee of its obligation to maintain the insurance specified in this Lease.
9.
Damage or Destruction.
9.1
Definitions.
(a)
Premises Partial Damage
shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be
repaired in 3 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction, and the cost thereof does
not exceed a sum equal to 6 months Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30
days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or
Total. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premises Partial Damage shall not include damage to windows,
doors, and/or other similar items which Lessee has the responsibility to repair or replace pursuant
to the provisions of Paragraph 7.1.
(b)
Premises Total Destruction
shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which
cannot reasonably be repaired in 3 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction and/or
the cost thereof exceeds a sum equal to 6 months Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing
within 30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is
Partial or Total.
(c)
Insured Loss
shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the Premises, other
than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by
an event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of
any deductible amounts or coverage limits involved.
(d)
Replacement Cost
shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the improvements owned by
Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition existing immediately prior thereto,
including demolition, debris removal and upgrading required by the operation of
Applicable Requirements, and without deduction for depreciation.
(e)
Hazardous Substance Condition
shall mean the occurrence or discovery of a condition
involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph
6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises which requires repair, remediation, or restoration.
9.2
Partial Damage Insured Loss.
If a Premises Partial Damage that is an Insured Loss
occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessors expense, repair such damage (but not Lessees Trade
Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at
Lessors election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which
is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds
available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
required insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such
repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds as and when required
to complete said repairs.

In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of
the improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to
fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to
cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within 10 days following receipt of written notice of
such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof
within said 10 day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds or
assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within 10
days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with
Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, or (ii) have this Lease terminate 30 days thereafter. Lessee shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction.
Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such
insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.
9.3
Partial Damage Uninsured Loss.
If a Premises Partial Damage that is not an Insured Loss
occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the
repairs at Lessees expense), Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably
possible at Lessors expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within 30 days after receipt by Lessor
of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall be effective 60 days
following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee
shall have the right within 10 days after receipt of the termination notice to give written notice
to Lessor of Lessees commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without reimbursement from
Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within 30
days after making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the
required funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.
9.4
Total Destruction.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total
Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate 60 days following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessors damages
from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.
9.5
Damage Near End of Term.
If at any time during the last 6 months of this Lease there is
damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one months Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss,
Lessor may terminate this Lease effective 60 days following the date of occurrence of such damage
by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within 30 days after the date of occurrence of
such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by,
(a) exercising such option and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds
(or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the
date which is 10 days after Lessees receipt of Lessors written notice purporting to terminate
this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance
thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessors commercially
reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or
assurance during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the
termination notice and Lessees option shall be extinguished.
9.6
Abatement of Rent; Lessees Remedies.
(a)
Abatement.
In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total Destruction or a
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent
payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage
shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessees use of the Premises is impaired, but
not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such
damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.
(b)
Remedies.
If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not
commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within 90 days after such
obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or
restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice, of
Lessees election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than 60 days following the giving of
such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within 30
days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the repair
or restoration is commenced within such 30 days, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. Commence shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the
required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.
9.7
Termination; Advance Payments.
Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph
6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance Base Rent and any
other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so
much of Lessees Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor.
9.8
Waive Statutes.
Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease shall govern the
effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with respect to the termination of this
Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent inconsistent
herewith.
10.
Real Property Taxes.
10.1
Definitions.
(a)
Real Property Taxes.
As used herein, the term
Real Property Taxes
shall include any
form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax
(other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee
imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Project, Lessors
right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessors business of leasing, by any authority having the
direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds are generated with reference to the Project
address and where the proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local
taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Project is located. The term Real Property
Taxes shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein: (i)
imposed by reason of events occurring during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to,
a change in the ownership of the Project, (ii) a change in the improvements thereon, and/or (iii)
levied or assessed on machinery or equipment provided by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Lease.
(b)
Base Real Property Taxes.
As used herein, the term
Base Real Property Taxes
shall be
the amount of Real Property Taxes, which are assessed against the Premises, Building, Project or
Common Areas in the calendar year during which the Lease is executed. In calculating Real Property
Taxes for any calendar year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included
in the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the number of days
which such calendar year and tax year have in common.
10.2
Payment of Taxes.
Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, Lessor shall pay the
Real Property Taxes applicable to the
Project, and said payments shall be included in the calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses

Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if
assessed solely by reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the
Premises by Lessee or at Lessees request or by reason of any alterations or improvements to
the Premises made by Lessor subsequent to the execution of this Lease by the Parties.
10.4
Joint Assessment.
If the Building is not separately assessed, Real Property Taxes
allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of
the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined
by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessors work sheets or such
other information as may be reasonably available. Lessors reasonable determination thereof, in
good faith, shall be conclusive.
10.5
Personal Property Taxes.
Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures,
furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises. When
possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade
Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed
separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessees said property shall be assessed
with Lessors real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessees property
within 10 days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessees
property.
11.
Utilities and Services.
Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 4.2, if at any time in
Lessors sole judgment, Lessor determines that Lessee is using a disproportionate amount of water,
electricity or other commonly metered utilities, or that Lessee is generating such a large volume
of trash as to require an increase in the size of the trash receptacle and/or an increase in the
number of times per month that it is emptied, then Lessor may increase Lessees Base Rent by an
amount equal to such increased costs. There shall be no abatement of Rent and Lessor shall not be
liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or discontinuance of
any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other
cause beyond Lessors reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions.
12.
Assignment and Subletting.
12.1
Lessors Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage
or encumber (collectively,
assign or assignment
) or sublet all or any part of Lessees
interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessors prior written consent.
(b) Unless Lessee is a corporation and its stock is publicly traded on a national stock
exchange, a change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment requiring consent. The
transfer, on a cumulative basis, of 25% or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a
change in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions
(by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise),
whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessees assets occurs, which
results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than 25% of
such Net Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of
the most recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said
transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be
considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent.
Net Worth of
Lessee
shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established under generally
accepted accounting principles.
(d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessors option, be a Default
curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any
notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a
noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon 30 days written
notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to 110% of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the
event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the
Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to 110% of the price previously in
effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the
Lease term shall be increased to 110% of the scheduled adjusted rent.
(e) Lessees remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to
compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
(f) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to a proposed assignment or subletting if Lessee is
in Default at the time consent is requested.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, allowing a diminimus portion of the Premises, ie. 20 square
feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in connection with the installation of a vending
machine or payphone shall not constitute a subletting.
12.2
Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Regardless of Lessors consent, no assignment or subletting shall : (i) be effective
without the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee
under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be
performed by Lessee.
(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessees obligations from any person other
than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or
disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver
or estoppel of Lessors right to exercise its remedies for Lessees Default or Breach.
(c) Lessors consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessees obligations
under this Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessors remedies
against any other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied
by information relevant to Lessors determination as to the financial and operational
responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited
to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a fee of
$500 as consideration for Lessors considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to
provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be
reasonably requested. (See also Paragraph 36)
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such
assignment, entering into such sublease, or entering into possession of the Premises or any portion
thereof, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term,
covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of
said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with
provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing.
(g) Lessors consent to any assignment or subletting shall not transfer to the assignee or
sublessee any Option granted to the original Lessee by this Lease unless such transfer is
specifically consented to by Lessor in writing. (See Paragraph 39.2)
12.3
Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting.
The following terms and
conditions shall apply to any subletting by
Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this
Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessees interest in all Rent payable
on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessees obligations under
this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessees
obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. In the event that the amount collected by Lessor
exceeds Lessees then outstanding obligations any

such excess shall be refunded to Lessee. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing or any
assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the
sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessees obligations to such
sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a
written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessees obligations
under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease. Sublessee
shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from
Lessee to the contrary.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require sublessee to attorn
to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such
sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such
sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor.
(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease shall also require the
consent of Lessor.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without
Lessors prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee,
who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified
in such notice. The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against
Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13.
Default; Breach; Remedies.
13.1
Default; Breach.
A
Default
is defined as a failure by the Lessee to comply with or
perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or Rules and Regulations under this Lease. A
Breach is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of
Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period:
(a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the Premises without providing a
commercially reasonable level of security, or where the coverage of the property insurance
described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable
assurances to minimize potential vandalism.
(b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any Security Deposit required to be
made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable
evidence of insurance or surety bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers
or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of 3 business days
following written notice to Lessee.
(c) The commission of waste, act or acts constituting public or private nuisance, and/or an
illegal activity on the Premises by Lessee, where such actions continue for a period of 3 business days following written notice to
Lessee.
(d) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance with
Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized
assignment or subletting, (iv) an Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi)
evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 41,
(viii) material data safety sheets (MSDS), or (ix) any other documentation or information which
Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure
continues for a period of 10 days following written notice to Lessee.
(e) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or
of the rules adopted under Paragraph 2.9 hereof, other than those described in subparagraphs
13.1(a), (b), (c) or (d), above, where such Default continues for a period of 30 days after written
notice; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessees Default is such that more than 30 days
are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee
commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.
(f) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general arrangement
or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a
debtor
as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101
or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same
is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessees assets located at the Premises or of Lessees interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or
other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessees assets located at the Premises or of
Lessees interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days; provided,
however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph is contrary to any applicable law,
such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions.
(f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor
was materially false.
(g) If the performance of Lessees obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death
of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantors liability with respect to this Lease other
than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantors becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantors refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
Guarantors breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessees failure,
within 60 days following written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance
or security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the
combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of
this Lease.
13.2
Remedies.
If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations,
within 10 days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at
its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessees behalf, including but not limited to the
obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs and expenses incurred
by Lessor in such performance upon receipt of an invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor
may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any
right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessees right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case
this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned
at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the
time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused
by the Lessees failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course
of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration
of the Premises, reasonable attorneys fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by
Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at
the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent.
Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessees Breach of this Lease shall not waive
Lessors right to recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained
through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right
to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under
Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given
to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by
Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the
unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default
within the greater of the two such grace

periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to
the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessees right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes
due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of
maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessors
interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessees right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of
the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessees right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any
indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by
reason of Lessees occupancy of the Premises.
13.3
Inducement Recapture.
Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration
for Lessees entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as
Inducement Provisions
, shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessees full and faithful performance of
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any
such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further
force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore
abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and
payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The
acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless
specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.
13.4
Late Charges.
Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent
will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which
will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender.
Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within 5 days after such amount shall be
due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor a
one-time late charge equal to 10% of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs
Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall
in no event constitute a waiver of Lessees Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount,
nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event
that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for 3 consecutive
installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base
Rent shall, at Lessors option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.
13.5
Interest.
Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges, not
received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within 30 days
following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date
when due, as to scheduled payments, or the 31st day after it was due as to non-scheduled
payments. The interest (
Interest
) charged shall be computed at the rate of 10% per annum but
shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential
late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
13.6
Breach by Lessor.
(a)
Notice of Breach.
Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails
within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes
of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than 30 days after receipt by
Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for such
purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessors obligation is such that more than 30 days
are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is
commenced within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
(b)
Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor.
In the event that neither Lessor nor Lender
cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure
they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at
Lessees expense and offset from Rent the actual and reasonable cost to perform such cure, provided
however, that such offset shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of one months Base Rent
or the Security Deposit, reserving Lessees right to reimbursement from Lessor for any such expense
in excess of such offset. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and supply said
documentation to Lessor.
14.
Condemnation.
If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent
domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(collectively
Condemnation
), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title
or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the Unit, or more
than 25% of Lessees Reserved Parking Spaces, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessees
option, to be exercised in writing within 10 days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written
notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within 10 days after the condemning
authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority
takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing,
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining,
except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the
Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of
Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold,
the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be
entitled to any compensation for Lessees relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or
Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by
Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and
Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event
that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to
the Premises caused by such Condemnation.
15.
Brokerage Fees.
15.1
Additional Commission.
In addition to the payments owed pursuant to Paragraph 1.10
above, and unless Lessor and the Brokers otherwise agree in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if
Lessee exercises any Option, (b) if Lessee acquires from Lessor any rights to the Premises or other
premises owned by Lessor and located within the Project, (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the
Premises, with the consent of Lessor, after the expiration of this Lease, or (d) if Base Rent is
increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then, Lessor shall pay
Brokers a fee in accordance with the schedule of the Brokers in effect at the time of the execution
of this Lease.
15.2
Assumption of Obligations.
Any buyer or transferee of Lessors interest in this Lease
shall be deemed to have assumed Lessors obligation hereunder. Brokers shall be third party
beneficiaries of the provisions of Paragraphs 1.10, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to
Brokers any amounts due as and for brokerage fees pertaining to this Lease when due, then such
amounts shall accrue Interest. In addition, if Lessor fails to pay any amounts to Lessees Broker
when due, Lessees Broker may send written notice to Lessor and Lessee of such failure and if
Lessor fails to pay such amounts within 10 days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to
its Broker and offset such amounts against Rent. In addition, Lessees Broker shall be deemed to
be a third party beneficiary of any commission agreement entered into by and/or between Lessor and
Lessors Broker for the limited purpose of collecting any brokerage fee owed.
15.3
Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships.
Lessee and Lessor each
represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or
finder (other than the Brokers, if any) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than
said named Brokers is entitled to any commission or finders fee in connection herewith. Lessee
and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and
against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker,
finder or

other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any
costs, expenses, attorneys fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
16.
Estoppel Certificates.
(a) Each
Party (as
Responding Party
) shall within 10 days after written notice from the
other Party (the
Requesting Party
) execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a
statement in writing in form similar to the then most current
Estoppel Certificate
form published
by the AIR Commercial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information, confirmation
and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party.
(b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within
such 10 day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i)
the Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the
Requesting Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Partys performance, and
(iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one months rent has been paid in advance.
Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Requesting Partys Estoppel Certificate,
and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said
Certificate.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee
and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such
financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not
limited to Lessees financial statements for the past 3 years. All such financial statements shall
be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the
purposes herein set forth.
17.
Definition of Lessor.
The term
Lessor
as used herein shall mean the owner or owners at
the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the
Lessees interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessors title or interest in
the Premises or this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by
credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such
transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall
be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this Lease
thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or
covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as
hereinabove defined.
18.
Severability.
The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.
19.
Days.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word
days
as used in this
Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.
20.
Limitation on Liability.
The obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute
personal obligations of Lessor, or its partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders,
and Lessee shall look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of
any liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against Lessors
partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction.
21.
Time of Essence.
Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of all obligations to
be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
22.
No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer.
This Lease contains all agreements between
the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous
agreement or understanding shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to
the Brokers that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature,
quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the use,
nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto
or with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability (including court
costs and attorneys fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or
performance by either Lessor or Lessee under this Lease or any amendment or modification hereto
shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease;
provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Brokers liability shall not be applicable
to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.
23.
Notices.
23.1
Notice Requirements.
All notices required or permitted by this Lease or applicable law
shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier) or may be sent by
regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or
by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified
in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Partys signature on this Lease shall be
that Partys address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written notice to the
other specify a different address for notice, except that upon Lessees taking possession of the
Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessees address for notice. A copy of all notices to
Lessor shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may
from time to time hereafter designate in writing.
23.2
Date of Notice.
Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no
delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed
given 72 hours after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantee next day
delivery shall be deemed given 24 hours after delivery of the same to the Postal Service or
courier. Notices transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered
upon telephone confirmation of receipt (confirmation report from fax machine is sufficient),
provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.
24.
Waivers.
No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant or condition
hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of
any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition
hereof. Lessors consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Lessors consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be
construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease
requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or
Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of monies or damages
due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection
therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless
specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment.
25.
Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.
(a) When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate
transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship
or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee
acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:
(i)
Lessors Agent
.
A Lessors agent under a listing agreement with the Lessor acts
as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessors agent or subagent has the following affirmative
obligations:
To the Lessor
: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and
loyalty in dealings with the Lessor.
To the Lessee and the Lessor
: a. Diligent exercise
of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agents duties. b. A duty of honest and fair
dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting
the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention
and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any
confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative
duties set forth above.
(ii)
Lessees Agent
. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only. In
these situations, the agent is not the Lessors

agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in
full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the following affirmative
obligations.
To the Lessee
: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and
loyalty in dealings with the Lessee.
To the Lessee and the Lessor
: a. Diligent exercise
of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agents duties. b. A duty of honest and fair
dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting
the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention
and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any
confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative
duties set forth above.
` (iii)
Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee
. A real estate agent, either acting
directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and
the Lessee in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the
Lessee. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the
Lessor and the Lessee: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the
dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. b. Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated
above in subparagraphs (i) or (ii). In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not
without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessor
will accept rent in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willing
to pay a higher rent than that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction
do not relieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor
and Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their
understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real
estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.
(b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either
Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty,
error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the
Start Date and that the liability (including court costs and attorneys fees), of any Broker with
respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such
Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Brokers
liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.
(c) Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as Confidential any communication or
information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential.
26.
No Right To Holdover.
Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part
thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over,
then the Base Rent shall be increased to 150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the
expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any
holding over by Lessee.
27.
Cumulative Remedies.
No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall,
wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.
28.
Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement.
All provisions of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all
headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part
of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice
versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather
according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it.
29.
Binding Effect; Choice of Law.
This Lease shall be binding upon the parties, their personal
representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in which the
Premises are located. Any litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be
initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.
30.
Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.
30.1
Subordination.
This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate
to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device
(collectively,
Security Device
), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all
advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as
Lender
) shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to
the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease
and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates
of the documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2
Attornment.
In the event that Lessor transfers title to the Premises, or the Premises
are acquired by another upon the foreclosure or termination of a Security Devise to which this
Lease is subordinated (i) Lessee shall, subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, attorn to such new owner, and upon request, enter into a new lease, containing all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remainder of the term hereof, or,
at the election of the new owner, this Lease will automatically become a new lease between Lessee
and such new owner, and (ii) Lessor shall thereafter be relieved of any further obligations
hereunder and such new owner shall assume all of Lessors obligations, except that such new owner
shall not: (a) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events
occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee
might have against any prior lessor, (c) be bound by prepayment of more than one months rent, or
(d) be liable for the return of any security deposit paid to any prior lessor.
30.3
Non-Disturbance.
With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor
after the execution of this Lease, Lessees subordination of this Lease shall be subject to
receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a
Non-Disturbance Agreement
) from
the Lender which Non-Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessees possession of the Premises, and
this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as
Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within 60
days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is
secured by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance
Agreement within said 60 days, then Lessee may, at Lessees option, directly contact Lender and
attempt to negotiate for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.
30.4
Self-Executing.
The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be effective without
the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor
or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor
shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any
subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.
31.
Attorneys Fees.
If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises
whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate
suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term,
Prevailing Party
shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains
or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or
the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys fees award
shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully
reimburse all attorneys fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shall be entitled to
attorneys fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default
and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced
in connection with such Default or resulting Breach ($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence
for such services and consultation).
32.
Lessors Access; Showing Premises; Repairs.

to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements
or additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using and
maintaining of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises and/or other premises
as long as there is no material adverse effect on Lessees use of the Premises. All such
activities shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.
33.
Auctions.
Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any auction upon the
Premises without Lessors prior written consent. Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any
standard of reasonableness in determining whether to permit an auction.
34.
Signs.
Lessor may place on the Premises ordinary For Sale signs at any time and ordinary
For Lease signs during the last 6 months of the term hereof. Except for ordinary For Sublease
signs which may be placed only on the Premises, Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Project
without Lessors prior written consent. All signs must comply with all Applicable Requirements.
35.
Termination; Merger.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the voluntary
or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a
termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or
lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or
all existing subtenancies. Lessors failure within 10 days following any such event to elect
to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute
Lessors election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.
36.
Consents.
Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party
is required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Lessors actual reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects,
attorneys, engineers and other consultants fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response
to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent, including but not limited to consents to an
assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee
upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessors consent to any act,
assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee
of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or
Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
consent. The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessors consent shall not
preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions
as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given. In the event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder
and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its
reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within 10 business days following such request.
37.

the party signing on Guarantors behalf to obligate Guarantor, and in the case of a corporate
Guarantor, a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making of
such guaranty, (b) current financial statements, (c) an Estoppel Certificate, or (d) written

requested by Lessor, with Lessee certifying that Lessee has no intention of thereafter assigning or

during the time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessee has been given
3 or more notices of separate Default, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month

42.
Performance Under Protest.
If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of
money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions hereof, the Party against whom the
obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment under protest and
such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the
part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged that there
was no legal obligation on the part of said Party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party
shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay. A
