shall reflect any such increases, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in accordance
with the further provisions of this Article 6, an amount per rentable square
foot of the Leased Premises equal to the difference between the Operating Costs

installments of Annual Basic Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of

determined by Landlord to be equivalent to the Operating Costs that would be
incurred if occupancy would be at least ninety-five percent (95%) during the
entire period. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of each
Fiscal Year or such longer period of time as may be necessary to compile such
statement, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Operating
Costs for such Fiscal Year, If the actual Operating Costs for such Fiscal Year
are more or less than the estimated Operating Costs, a proper adjustment shall
be made; provided, however, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the
rentable area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants at any time
during such period, the actual Operating Costs for such period shall be, for the
purposes of this Article 6, increased to an amount reasonably determined by
Landlord to be equivalent to the Operating Costs that would have been incurred
had such occupancy been at least ninety-five (95%) during the entire period. Any
excess amounts paid by Tenant shall be, at Landlord's option, applied to any
amounts then payable by Tenant to Landlord or to the next maturing monthly
installments of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent. Any deficiency between the
estimated and actual Operating Costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
concurrently with the monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent next due. Any
amount owing for a fractional Fiscal Year in the first or final Lease Years of

Commission of the State of Arizona.
9.4 Business Interruption Insurance. If Landlord shall so require, Tenant
shall, during the Lease Term, keep in full force and effect, a policy or
policies of business interruption insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12)
monthly installments of Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable to
Landlord, together with the taxes on such rent, insuring Tenant against losses
sustained by Tenant as a result of any cessation or interruption of Tenant's
business in the Leased Premises for any reason.
9.5 Insurance Requirements. Each insurance policy and certificate of such
insurance policy obtained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall contain a
clause that the insurer will provide Landlord with at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice of any material change, non-renewal or cancellation of the
policy. Each such insurance policy shall be with an insurance company authorized
to do business in the State of Arizona and reasonably acceptable to Landlord. A
certificate (e.g. Xxxxx Form 27) evidencing the coverage under each such policy,
as well as a certified copy of the required additional insured endorsement(s)
shall be delivered to Landlord prior to commencement of the Lease Term. All
insurance policies required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be written as
primary policies, not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which
Landlord may carry. Tenant shall procure and maintain all policies entirely at
its own expense and shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of
such policies, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates of such policies.
Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the
insurance policies maintained by Landlord or the insurance policies required
pursuant to this Article 9 or the coverage under such policies.
9.6 Co-Insurance. If on account of the failure of Tenant to comply with the
provisions of this Article 9 Landlord is deemed a co-insurer by its insurance
carrier, then any loss or damage which Landlord shall sustain by reason of such
failure shall be borne by Tenant, and shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10)
days after receipt of a xxxx for such loss or damage.
9.7 Adequacy of Insurance. Landlord makes no representation or warranty to
Tenant that the amount of insurance to be carried by Tenant under the terms of
this Lease is adequate to fully protect Tenant's interests. If Tenant believes
that the amount of any such insurance is insufficient, Tenant is encouraged to
obtain, at its sole cost and expense, such additional insurance as Tenant may
deem desirable or adequate. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not, by the
fact of approving, disapproving, waiving, accepting, or obtaining any insurance,
incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the
form or legal sufficiency of such insurance, the solvency of any insurance
companies or the payment or defense of any lawsuit in connection with such
insurance coverage, and Tenant hereby expressly assumes full responsibility for
and all liability, if any, with respect to, Tenant's insurance coverage.
10. CASUALTY DAMAGE
10.1 Obligation to Repair. In the event of any damage to the Leased
Premises, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing. If the Leased
Premises or any part of the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty not
due to the fault or negligence of Tenant, its employees, invitees, agents,
contractors or servants, the damage to the Building and/or the Leased Premises
shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord, excluding any alterations
or improvements made by Tenant, unless this Lease is terminated in accordance
with the provisions of Article 10.2 below. Until such repairs by Landlord are
completed, Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in proportion
to the part of the Leased Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of
its business. If, however, such damage is due in whole or in part to the fault
or neglect of Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant, or any of their respective
agents, employees, servants, contractors or invitees, there shall be no
abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent and Tenant shall be required
to repair all such damage at its sole cost and expense. There shall be no
abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent on account of damage to the
Building or the Property unless there is also damage to the Leased Premises.
Tenant hereby waives any statute now or subsequently in effect which grants
to Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or which provides for an abatement
of rent on account of damage or destruction, including, without limitation, ARS.
ss. 33-343.
10.2 Landlord's Option. If the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's
insurance, or if Landlord determines in good faith that the cost of repairing
the damage is more than one-third of the then replacement cost of the Building,
or if Landlord has determined in good faith that the required repairs to the
Building cannot be made within a one hundred twenty (120) day period without the
payment of overtime or other premiums, or in the event a holder of a mortgage or
a deed of trust against the Building or the Property requires that all or any
portion of the insurance proceeds be applied in reduction of the mortgage debt,
or if such damage occurs during the final year of the Lease Term, then Landlord
may, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of
such damage, terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in Landlord's notice
to Tenant. This right will be reciprocal. If Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair the
Building and the Leased Premises, excluding any alterations or improvements made
by Tenant, and while such repair work is being performed, the Annual Basic Rent
and Additional Rent shall be abated as provided above. Nothing in this Article
10 shall be construed as a limitation of Tenant's liability for any such damage,
should such liability otherwise exist.
11. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives its rights and the subrogation
rights of its insurer against the other xxxxx and any other tenants of space in
the Building or the Property as well as their respective officers, employees,
agents, authorized representatives and invitees, with respect to any claims
including, but not limited to, claims for injury to any persons, and/or damage
to the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises and/or any fixtures,
equipment, personal property, furniture, improvements and/or alterations in or
to the Leased Premises, which are caused by or result from (a) risks or damages
required to be insured against under this Lease, or (b) risks and damages which
are insured against by insurance policies maintained by Landlord and Tenant from
time to time. Landlord and Tenant shall obtain for the other party from its
insurers under each policy required by this Lease or otherwise maintained a
waiver of all rights of subrogation which such insurers of Landlord or Tenant
might otherwise have against the other party.
12. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT OBLIGATIONS
All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the
terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense and without any abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Annual Basic Rent,
required to be paid by it under this Lease, or shall fail to perform any other
act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and such failure shall
continue for ten (10) days after notice of such failure by Landlord (or such
shorter period of time as may be reasonable in the event of an emergency),
Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) without waiving or releasing
Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations, make any such payment or perform any
such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all
necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the greater of (a)
eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (b) the rate of interest per annum publicly
announced, quoted or published, from time to time, by Bank of America, at its
Phoenix, Arizona office as its "reference rate" plus four (4) percentage points,
from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursement in full by Tenant
(the "Default Rate"), shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent with the
next monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent; provided, however, in no event
shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted by applicable
law.
13. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
13.1 Event of Default. If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of
Annual Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum required to be paid by
Tenant under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days, or
if Tenant shall fail to perform any of the other covenants or conditions which
Tenant is required to observe and perform and such failure shall continue for
fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period of time as may be specified by
Landlord in the event of an emergency) after written notice of such failure by
Landlord to Tenant, or if Tenant makes or has made any warranty, representation
or statement to Landlord in connection with this Lease which is or was
materially false or misleading when made or furnished, or if Tenant shall commit
an Event of Default under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or if
the interest of Tenant in this Lease or any of Tenant's equipment, fixtures, or
personal property located on the Leased Premises shall be levied upon under
execution or other legal process. or if any petition shall be filed by or
against Tenant or any Guarantor to declare Tenant or any Guarantor a bankrupt or
to delay, reduce or modify Tenant's or any Guarantor's debts or obligations, or
if any petition shall be filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify
Tenant's or any Guarantor's capital structure, or if Tenant or any Guarantor
shall be declared insolvent according to law, or if any assignment of Tenant's
or any Guarantor's property shall be made for the benefit of creditors, or if a
receiver or trustee is appointed for Tenant or any Guarantor or all or any of
their respective property, or if Tenant or any Guarantor shall file a voluntary
petition pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any successor the Bankruptcy Code or
if an involuntary petition be filed against Tenant or any Guarantor pursuant to
the Bankruptcy Code or any successor the Bankruptcy Code, then Tenant shall have
committed a material breach and default under this Lease (an "Event of
Default").
13.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease
by Tenant, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies
available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute, Landlord may exercise
one or more of the following remedies, all of which shall be construed and held
to be cumulative and non-exclusive: (a) Terminate this Lease and re-enter and
take possession of the Leased Premises, in which event, Landlord is authorized
to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased
Premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in
good faith for the purposes of reletting the Leased Premises and the costs and
expenses incurred in respect of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments
and the expenses of such reletting (including brokerage commissions) shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's
statement; or (b) Without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession
of the Leased Premises; or (c)Without such re-entry, recover possession of the
Leased Premises in the manner prescribed by any statute relating to summary
process, and any demand for Annual Basic Rent, re-entry for condition broken,
and any and all notices to quit, or other formalities of any nature to which
Tenant may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted
by law; or (d) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Leased
Premises as Landlord may see fit without thereby avoiding or terminating this
Lease, and for the purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to make
such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased
Premises as may be necessary Ill the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in
good faith for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not
realized from such reletting (after payment of all costs and expenses of such
repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and expenses of such reletting
(including brokerage commissions) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom)
each month to equal the Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable under this
Lease, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency each month within ten (10) days
after receipt of Landlord's statement; or (e) Landlord may declare immediately
due and payable all the remaining installments of Annual Basic Rent and
Additional Rent, and such amount, less the fair rental value of the Leased
Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term shall be paid by Tenant within ten
(10) days after receipt of Landlord's statement. Landlord shall not by re-entry
or any other act, be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the liability of
Tenant for the total Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved under this
Lease or for any installment of Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent then due
or subsequently accruing, or for damages. unless Landlord notifies Tenant in
writing that Landlord has so elected to terminate this Lease. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the acceptance of Annual Basic Rent or
Additional Rent, or the failure to re-enter by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of Landlord's right to subsequently terminate this Lease and
exercise any other rights and remedies available to it, and Landlord may
re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises as if no Annual Basic Rent
or Additional Rent had been accepted after the occurrence of an Event of
Default. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord, including court costs and attorneys' fees, in
retaking or otherwise obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, removing and
storing all equipment, fixtures and personal property on the Leased Premises and
otherwise enforcing any of Landlord's rights, remedies or recourses arising as a
result of an Event of Default
13.3 Interest on Past Due Amounts. In addition to the late charge described
in Article 14 below, if any installment of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent
is not paid promptly when due, it shall bear interest at the Default Rate;
provided, however, this provision shall not relieve Tenant from any default in
the making of any payment at the time and in the manner required by this Lease;
and provided, further, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum
rate (if any) permitted by applicable law.
13.4 Landlord Default. In the event Landlord should neglect or fail to
perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in
this Lease on its part to be performed or observed, and such failure continues
for thirty (30) days after written notice of default (or if more than thirty
(30) days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord
shall fail to commence the curing of such default within such thirty (30) day
period and proceed diligently to completion), then Landlord shall be responsible
to Tenant for any actual damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's
breach, but not special or consequential damages. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this Lease, any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord for
failure to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions
contained in this Lease shall be deemed waived unless such claim is asserted by
written notice of such claim to Landlord within ten (10) days of commencement of
the alleged default or of occurrence of the cause of action and unless suit be
brought upon such claim within six (6) months subsequent to the occurrence of
such cause of action. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, except
as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.
14. LATE PAYMENTS
Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent any Additional Rent or any other
sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by
this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and
impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to
processing, administrative and accounting costs. Accordingly, if any monthly
installment of Annual Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum due from
Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the date
when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of the
Late Charge Percentage set forth in Article 1.21 multiplied by such overdue
amount or One Hundred and No/l00 Dollars ($100.00). Tenant acknowledges that
such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord
will incur by reason of late payments by Tenant. Nothing contained in this
Article 14 shall be deemed to condone, authorize, sanction or grant to Tenant an
option for the late payment of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other
sum due under this Lease. If any check of Tenant is returned for insufficient
funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a Fifty and No/l00 Dollars ($50.00)
processing charge, in addition to payment of the amount due plus applicable
interest and late charges.
15. SURRENDER
Tenant shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
peaceably surrender the Leased Premises, including any Tenant Improvements, in a
broom clean condition and otherwise in as good condition as when Tenant took
possession, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear subsequent to the last
repair, replacement, restoration, alteration or renewal; (ii) loss by fire or
other casualty, and (iii) loss by condemnation. If Tenant shall abandon, vacate
or surrender the Leased Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or
otherwise, any personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and left in
the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned and, at Landlord's option, title
shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a xxxx of sale. Landlord may,
however, if it so elects, remove all or any part of such personal property from
the Leased Premises and the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such
removal, including storage costs and the cost of repairing any damage to the
Leased Premises and/or the Building caused by such removal shall be paid by
Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's statement. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to
Landlord all keys to the Leased Premises and shall inform Landlord of the
combination of any vaults, locks and safes left on the Leased Premises. The
obligations of Tenant under this Article 15 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any
loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the
Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
Tenant founded on such delay. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at
least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Leased Premises for the express
purpose of arranging a meeting with Landlord for a joint inspection of the
Leased Premises. In the event of Tenants failure to give such notice or to
participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's inspection at or after Tenant's
vacation of the Leased Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for
purposes of determining Tenant's liability for repairs and restoration under
this Lease.
16. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION
16.1 Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
Landlord harmless for, from and against all claims, damages, losses, costs,
liens, encumbrances, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys',
accountants' and investigators' fees and court costs (collectively, the
"Claims"), however caused, arising in whole or in part from Tenant's use of all
or any part of the Leased Premises and/or the Building or the conduct of Tenants
business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by
Tenant or by any invitee, servant, agent, contractor, employee or subtenant of
Tenant in the Leased Premises and/or the Building, and shall further indemnify,
protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless for, from and against all Claims
arising in whole or in part from any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease or
arising in whole or in part from any act, neglect, fault or omission by Tenant
or by any invitee, servant, agent, employee or subtenant of Tenant anywhere in
the Leased Premises and/or the Building. In case any action or proceeding is
brought against Landlord to which this indemnification shall be applicable,
Tenant shall pay all Claims resulting therefrom and shall defend such action or
proceeding, if Landlord shall so request, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The obligations of Tenant under
this Article 16.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
16.2 Exculpation. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to
Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property, injury and death to
persons and all claims of any other nature resulting from Tenants use of all or
any part of the Leased Premises and/or the Building, and Tenant hereby waives
all claims against Landlord arising out of Tenants use of all or any part of the
Leased Premises and/or the Building. Neither Landlord nor its agents or
employees shall be liable for any damaged property of Tenant entrusted to any
employee or agent of Landlord or for loss of or damage to any property of Tenant
by theft or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to
persons or property resulting from any cause, including, but not limited to,
fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, sewage, odor, noise,
water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes,
appliances or plumbing works in tile Building, or from the roof of any structure
on the Property, or from any streets or subsurface on or adjacent to the
Building or the Property, or from any other place or resulting from dampness or
any other causes whatsoever, unless caused solely by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord. Neither Landlord nor its employees or agents
shall be liable for any defects in the Leased Premises and/or the Building, nor
shall Landlord be liable for the negligence or misconduct, including, but not
limited to, criminal acts, by maintenance or other personnel or contractors
serving the Leased Premises and/or the Building, other tenants or third parties,
unless Landlord is grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct. All
property of Tenant kept or stored on the Property shall be so kept or stored at
the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
harmless for, from and against any Claims arising out of damage to the same,
including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, unless such damage
shall be caused by the willful act or gross neglect of Landlord and through no
fault of Tenant. None of the events or conditions set forth in this Article 16
shall be deemed a constructive or actual eviction or result in a termination of
this Lease, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Annual
Basic Rent or Additional Rent by reason of such events or condition. Tenant
shall give prompt notice to Landlord with respect to any defects, fires or
accidents which Tenant observes in the Leased Premises and/or the Building.
17. ENTRY BY LANDLORD

(24) hours prior written notice (except in the event of an emergency), the right

Premises or any loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes,
Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all the
doors in, upon or about the Leased Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and
safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord
may deem proper to open such doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to
the Leased Premises, and any entry to the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord
by any such means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or
deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased
Premises or an eviction of Tenant from all or any portion of the Leased
Premises. Nothing in this Article 17 shall be construed as obligating Landlord
to perform any repairs, alterations or maintenance except as otherwise expressly
required elsewhere in this Lease.
18. SUBSTITUTE PREMISES
18.1 Relocation of Leased Premises. Landlord may, before or after the
Commencement Date, elect by notice to Tenant, to substitute for the Leased
Premises other office space in the Building (the "Substitute Premises")

information reasonably requested by Landlord, and Tenant shall perform promptly

19.1 Assignment and Subletting Prohibited. Tenant shall not transfer or
assign this Lease or any right or interest under this Lease, or sublet the
Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises, without first obtaining
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold. No transfer or assignment (whether voluntary or involuntary, by
operation of law or otherwise) or subletting shall be valid or effective without
such prior written consent. Should Tenant attempt to make or allow to be made
any such transfer, assignment or subletting, except as stated above, or should
any of Tenant's rights under this Lease be sold or otherwise transferred by or
under court order or legal process or otherwise, then, and in any of the
foregoing events Landlord may, at its option, treat such act as an Event of
Default by Tenant. Should Landlord consent to a transfer, assignment or
subletting, such consent shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
restrictions or prohibitions of this Article 19, and such restrictions or
prohibitions shall apply to each successive transfer, assignment or subletting
under this Article 19, if any.
19.2 Deemed Transfers. If Tenant is a corporation, an unincorporated
association, a limited liability company or a partnership, the transfer,
assignment or hypothecation of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any stock or
interest in such corporation, association, limited liability company or

this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion of the Leased Premises,
it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in

of the proposed sublease or assignment; and (d) such financial information as

subletting.

sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, at its option, upon
written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the

portion of the Leased Premises, and within sixty (60) days after notice of such
election has been given to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion
of the Leased Premises recaptured. If all or a portion of the Leased Premises is
recaptured by Landlord pursuant to this Article 19.4, Tenant shall promptly
execute and deliver to Landlord a termination agreement setting forth the
termination date with respect to the Leased Premises or the recaptured portion
of the Leased Premises, and prorating the Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and
other charges payable under this Lease to such date. If Landlord doe not elect
to recapture as set forth above, Tenant may then after enter into a valid
assignment or sublease with respect to the Leased Premises, provided that
Landlord consents to such assignment or sublease pursuant to this Article 19,
and provided further, that (a) such assignment or sublease is executed within
ninety (90) days after Landlord has given its consent, (b) Tenant pays all
amounts then owed to Landlord under this Lease,(c)there is not in existence an

of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease is promptly delivered to
Landlord.

Lease or sublets the Leased Premises, the Annual Basic Rent set forth in Article
1.12 above, as adjusted, shall be increased effective as of the date of such
assignment or subletting to the rent and other consideration payable by any such
assignee or sublessee pursuant to such assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the Annual Basic Rent after any such assignment
or subletting be less than the Annual Basic Rent specified in Article 1.12
above, as adjusted.
19.6 No Release from Liability. Landlord may collect Annual Basic Rent and
Additional Rent from the assignee, subtenant, occupant or other transferee, and
apply the amount so collected, first to the monthly installments of Annual Basic
Rent, then to any Additional Rent and other sums due and payable to Landlord,
and the balance, if any, to Landlord, but no such assignment, subletting,
occupancy, transfer or collection shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's rights
under this Article 19, or the acceptance of the proposed assignee, subtenant,
occupant or transferee. Notwithstanding any assignment, sublease or other
transfer (with or without the consent of Landlord), Tenant shall remain
primarily liable under this Lease and neither Tenant nor any Guarantor shall be
released from performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease.

Landlord of Tenant's request for consent, Landlord shall provide Tenant written
notice that Landlord has (i) consented to the proposed change in the Permitted
Use, or (ii) decline to consent to the change, or (iii) elected to terminate
this Lease, in which event this Lease shall terminate ten (10) days following
receipt by Tenant of Landlord's Notice of Termination. Tenant shall not do or
permit anything to be done in or about tile Leased Premises nor bring or keep
anything in the Leased Premises which will in any way increase the existing rate
of or affect any casualty or other insurance on the Building, the Property, or
any of their respective contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance
policy covering the Building, the Property, or any part of the Building or the
Property, or any of their respective contents. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises and/or the Building which
will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or
occupants of the Building, or injure or annoy them. Tenant shall not use or
allow the Leased Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance
in, on or about the Leased Premises and/or the Building. In addition, Tenant
shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Leased
Premises and/or the Building. Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises and/or
the Building or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises
and/or the Building which will in any way conflict with any matters of record,
or any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force
or which may subsequently be enacted or promulgated, and shall, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly comply with all matters of record and all laws, statutes,
ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and requirements now in force or

Fire Underwriters or other similar body now or subsequently constituted,
foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary as well as extraordinary, relating to or
affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Property, excluding structural
changes not relating to or affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. The
judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in
any action against Tenant, irrespective of whether Landlord is a party, that
Tenant has violated any matters of record, or any law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact

21.1 Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease
shall be, at the option of Landlord, subordinate to (a) all matters of record,
(b) all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases (collectively
referred to as the "leases") of the Building or the Property now or subsequently
existing,(c)all mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively referred to as the
"mortgages") which may now or subsequently encumber or affect the Building or
the Property, and (d) all renewals, modifications, amendments, replacements and
extensions of leases and mortgages and to spreaders and consolidations of the
mortgages, irrespective or whether leases or mortgages shall also cover other
lands, buildings or leases. The provisions of this Article 21.1 shall be
self-operative and no further instruments of subordination shall be required. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge
and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any lease or the
holder of any mortgage or any of their respective assigns or successors in
interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to
which this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a "Superior Lease" and the
lessor under a Superior Lease or its assigns or successors in interest is called
a "Superior Lessor". Any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate
is called a "Superior Mortgage" and tile holder of a Superior Mortgage is called
a "Superior Mortgagee". If Landlord, a Superior Lessor or a Superior Mortgagee
requires that such instruments be executed by Tenant, Tenant's failure to do so
within ten (10) days after request for such instrument shall be deemed an Event
of Default under this Lease. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease
because of any foreclosure proceedings. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints Landlord (and any successor Landlord) as Tenants attorney-in-fact
to execute and deliver to any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee any
documents required to be executed by Tenant for and on behalf of Tenant if
Tenant shall have failed to do so within ten (10) days after the request for
execution and delivery.

purchaser at a foreclosure sale) succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this
Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action, or the delivery of anew
lease or deed (a "Successor Landlord"), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize
such Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly
execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably
request to evidence such attornment. Notwithstanding such subordination,
Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if
Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay the rent and observe
and perform all of the provisions of this Rental Agreement, unless this Rental
Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Tenant shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after written request
by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing
certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or,

Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the dates to which

provide such other information and facts Landlord may reasonably require. Any
such statement may be relied upon by any prospective or existing purchaser,
ground lessee or mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property, as well as by
any other assignee of Landlord's interest in this Lease. Tenant's failure to
deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (I) that
this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be
represented by Landlord; (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's
performance under this Lease; (iii) that Tenant has paid to Landlord the
Security Deposit; (iv) that not more than one month's installment of Annual

Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term are as
stated in the statement, (vi) that Tenant has no rights to extend or renew this
Lease or to expand the Leased Premises; (vii) that the Annual Basic Rent,

employees and licensees on a "first come, first serve" basis. Landlord reserves
the right to increase the parking charges set forth in Article 1.17 in such
reasonable amounts as Landlord deems necessary based upon increased costs of

in any other parking spaces other than those designated by Landlord for use by
holders of parking passes.

enforceable as such), Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause the same to be
canceled or discharged of record within thirty (30) days after Tenant shall have
received written notice of the filing of such lien, or Tenant may. within such
thirty (30) day period, furnish to Landlord, a bond pursuant to A.R.S.
ss.33-1004 (or any successor statute) and satisfactory to Landlord and all

which case Tenant shall have the right to contest, in good faith, the validity
or amount of such lien.

Landlord to recover immediate possession of the Leased Premises thereupon is an
important and material matter affecting the parties hereto and the rights of
