13. INSURANCE.
13.1 Liability Coverage. Tenant shall, at its expense, obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease, including any renewal term, a commercial general liability insurance
policy with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 covering bodily injury to one or
more persons and property damage with deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. All policies of insurance required to be provided hereunder by Tenant shall be issued
by insurer(s) licensed and qualified to do business in the State of Arizona, with a current A.M.
Best Company rating of at least B++VII. The policy shall be primary and shall name Landlord
and any Mortgagee (as defined in Section 17) as additional insured(s) and shall cover the entire
Complex. Tenant shall increase its liability coverage as may be reasonably requested by
Landlord, if Landlord presents evidence that customary insurance coverage limits for similar

financially responsible insurance company, during the Term, including any renewal term, a
commercial general liability insurance policy with a combined single limit of not less than
$1,000,000 covering bodily injury to one or more persons and property damage.
13.2 Certificates. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance, making
specific reference to the Complex and the Premises, evidencing the existence and amounts of the
policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section 13, as well as the deductibles. No such
policy shall be nonrenewable, cancelable or subject to material reduction of coverage or other
material modification except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall
upon renewal of such policy, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates.
It is expressly understood by Tenant that the receipt of any required insurance
certificate(s) by Landlord hereunder does not constitute agreement that the insurance
requirements of this Section 13 have been fully met of that the insurance policies indicated on
the certificate are in compliance with all requirements of this Section 13. Further, the failure of
Landlord to obtain certificates or other evidence of insurance from the Tenant shall not be
deemed a waiver by Landlord. Non-conforming insurance shall not relieve Tenant of its
obligation to provide the insurance specified herein. Any failure of Tenant to obtain, maintain,
or provide copies or certificates of any insurance required hereunder shall constitute a material
and continuing breach of this Lease.
13.3 Property Coverage. Tenant shall maintain in effect, with a financially
responsible insurance company, policies of property insurance covering the full insurable value
of all improvements, additions or alterations to the Premises made without Landlord’s written
consent, and all of Tenant’s machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures and personal property.
Such policies of insurance shall provide protection for Tenant against all casualties included
under standard insurance industry practices within the classification of “Fire and Extended
Coverage” and shall contain a waiver of subrogation releasing Landlord from all claims and
liabilities arising from or caused by any hazard covered by Tenant’s property insurance. The
proceeds from said insurance shall be used to repair or reconstruct such insured property to the
extent required under Section 15 of this Lease.
Additionally, Tenant shall maintain business interruption insurance in an amount
adequate to cover losses incurred by Tenant as a result of any damage or destruction to the
Building as described in Section 15 of this Lease
Landlord shall, as a portion of Operating Expenses as defined in Section 8 of this Lease,
maintain in effect, with a financially responsible insurance company, policies of property
insurance covering the Complex including Landlord’s Work as described in Exhibit “D” and
Tenant’s Improvements as described in Exhibit “E,” (other than the property required to be
insured by Tenant in the preceding paragraph, and other tenant improvements and tenant
property) on a replacement cost basis.
13.4 Release. Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary elsewhere in this
Lease, Tenant hereby mutually releases and relieves Landlord from all claims and liabilities
arising from or caused by any hazard covered by property insurance on the Premises or covered
by property insurance in connection with property on or activities conducted in or about the
Premises or Complex or covered by the property insurance required hereunder, regardless of the
cause of the damage or loss, provided that this release shall apply only to the extent that such
loss is covered by such property insurance. Tenant shall, at the earlier of the date of obtaining
insurance coverages or the Commencement Date, give notice to the insurance carriers involved
that the foregoing waiver of liability and subrogation is contained in this Lease.
14. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.
14.1 Lease Transfers. (a) Tenant shall not cause or permit, by operation of law or
otherwise, any assignment, sublease, encumbrance, or transfer (a “Lease Transfer”) of this Lease
or any estate or interest herein without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed. It shall be deemed reasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to a Lease Transfer if Tenant is in default under the terms of the
Lease.
14.2 Corporate Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may
assign this Lease, without Landlord’s consent, but only upon written notice to Landlord
accompanied by a notarized affidavit executed on behalf of Tenant by an authorized
representative of Tenant affirming to Landlord that the assignee of the Lease is an entity
controlling, controlled by or under common ownership with Tenant.
14.3 Name Change. In the event Tenant elects to change its name or Corporate
Transaction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice specifically stating that such
name change or Corporate Transaction and a copy of the appropriate documentation issued by
the office of the applicable Secretary of State.
14.4 No Release of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 14, Lease Transfer or no consent by Landlord to any Lease Transfer shall relieve
Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before
or after such consent, assignment, subletting or other Lease Transfer or Corporate Transaction,
and the Transferee or assignee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment
of Additional Rent and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of this Lease. The
Lease Transfer or consent by Landlord to any Lease Transfer shall not relieve Tenant or any such
Transferee or assignee from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express prior written consent to
any subsequent Lease Transfer. The acceptance of Additional Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a
consent to any Lease Transfer.
15. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
15.1 Damage to Premises Covered by Insurance. Subject to the terms of Section
15.5 of this Lease, if the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable
under standard fire and extended coverage insurance (the “Event”) so as to become partially or
totally untenantable, the Premises shall be repaired and restored by Landlord and Tenant with
due diligence. The repairs shall commence as soon as reasonably possible following the Event.
Landlord’s obligation to repair and restore shall be limited to the restoration of the work
designated as Landlord’s Work in Exhibit “D” and Tenant Improvements in Exhibit “E” and
Tenant shall be obligated to restore the remainder of the Premises.
15.2 Damage to Premises not Covered by Insurance. If the Premises shall at any
time be damaged or destroyed by a casualty not insurable under standard fire or extended
coverage insurance so as to become partially or totally untenantable, then Landlord shall have
the right to either repair and restore the Premises or to terminate this Lease. Such election shall
be made by Landlord upon notice to Tenant within 60 days after the occurrence of such casualty.
If Landlord elects to restore the Premises, such work shall not exceed what is required to restore
the Premises to a condition similar to that at the time of the original delivery of the Premises to
Tenant and, then Tenant shall be required to repair with diligence the remainder of the Premises.
If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall terminate 60 days after the date of the
occurrence of such casualty and all rent shall be adjusted as of such date of termination.
15.3 Destruction of the Complex. If all or any portion of the Complex shall be
damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause (regardless of whether the Premises may be affected
thereby) to the extent that the cost of restoration thereof would exceed 25% of the amount it
would have cost to replace the Complex in its entirety at the time such damage or destruction
occurred, then Landlord may elect to repair that portion of the Complex owned by Landlord
within a reasonable time after such damage or destruction, provided that Landlord shall not be
obligated to expend for such rebuilding and repairing an amount in excess of the insurance
proceeds recovered or recoverable as a result of such damage or destruction, or Landlord may
elect to terminate this Lease upon 30 days notice to Tenant, which notice shall be given, if at all,
within 60 days after the date of such occurrence. In the event of such termination, this Lease
shall cease 30 days after such notice is given and all rent shall be adjusted as of that date.
15.4 Rent Refund. Within thirty (30) days of an Event, Tenant will receive a refund
of a pro-rated portion of Tenant’s Pre-Paid Gross Rent to the extent the Premises are rendered
untenantable as reasonably determined by Landlord.
15.5 Destruction Cancellation. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed to the
extent that the cost of the restoration would exceed 25% of the amount it would have cost to
replace the Premises in their entirety at the time such damage or destruction occurred, and if the
unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease shall be one year or less on the date of the damage or
destruction, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of its
election to do so within sixty (60) days after such occurrence. If Landlord exercises such right,
then this Lease shall cease as of the date of such notice and all rent and other charges payable by
Tenant shall be adjusted and refunded as of that date.
15.6 Waiver. Notwithstanding the destruction of or injury to the Premises or any part
thereof, whether or not the same is rendered untenantable or unfit for occupancy, Tenant shall
have no right under A.R.S. § 33-343, or otherwise, to quit and surrender possession and shall
have no right to any abatement of rent except as specifically provided in this Article 15.
16. EMINENT DOMAIN.
Except as may be otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant as provided in this Section, if all
of the Premises, or such portion of the Premises as renders the remainder impractical for the
Permitted Use, are taken by any public authority under the power or threat of eminent domain or
by private purchase in lieu thereof, then the term of this Lease shall cease as of the date
possession shall be taken by such public authority, and Landlord shall make a pro rata refund of
any Annual Base Rent that may have been paid in advance. In the event that less than the entire
Complex is so taken and the Premises are not in that portion of the Complex so taken and
provided the Premises are not rendered untenantable thereby, then this Lease shall terminate only
at the option of Landlord. In the event that only a part of the Premises is so taken and the parties
agree that this Lease shall not so terminate, there shall be a pro rata reduction in Annual Base
Rent for the period following such taking, and all other terms and provisions hereof shall remain
in full effect. All damages awarded for any such taking shall belong to and be the property of
Landlord for diminution in value to this leasehold or to the fee of the Premises; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion of the award made to Tenant for loss
of business, depreciation to and cost of removal of stock and fixtures.
17. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

to the lien of any existing mortgage and other financing documents and the lien of any mortgages
and other financing documents that hereafter may be made a lien upon the Building and the real
property upon which it is situated; provided, however, that the secured party named in each such
mortgage or other financing document (a “Mortgagee”) shall agree to recognize this Lease in the
event of foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default and if Tenant agrees to attorn to such
Mortgagee as Landlord under this Lease. In the event a Mortgagee elects to have this Lease a
prior encumbrance, then and in such event upon Mortgagee notifying Tenant to that effect, this
Lease shall be deemed a prior encumbrance whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to
the date of Mortgagee’s encumbrance. Within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s
request, Tenant will execute and deliver a subordination agreement in substantially the form of
Exhibit “C” attached hereto and other documents desirable to effect the purpose of this Section
17.1; provided, however, that each Mortgagee shall agree to recognize this Lease in the event of
foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default. In the event Tenant fails to comply with the
foregoing requirements within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s request, this Section
17.1 shall constitute Tenant’s appointment of Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute any
certificates of subordination and other accounts desirable to effect the purpose of this Section
17.1.
17.2 Insurance. Whenever under this Lease policies of insurance or bonds are to be
provided for the benefit of Landlord, the same shall, at the option of Landlord, be made payable
to and shall secure Landlord and/or any Mortgagee.

request from Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord an Estoppel Certificate in substantially
the form of Exhibit “D” attached hereto, attesting to the terms and condition of this Lease and the

matters as requested by Landlord concerning the tenancy of Tenant under this Lease. In the
event that Tenant asserts any default by Landlord, Tenant shall set forth such alleged default or
defaults upon the said certificate in detail and attest to the fact that those listed defaults are the
only defaults by Landlord hereunder.
17.4 Mortgagee’s Performance. Tenant agrees to give to any Mortgagee(s), by
registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such
notice Tenant has been notified in writing of the address of such Mortgagee, which notice shall
state that it is given pursuant to this Section of the Lease and that copies of notices shall be sent
to such Mortgagee. If Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days
from the effective date of such notice of default or such longer time as Landlord may be
provided under this Lease, then the Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within
which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such
additional time as may be necessary to cure such default and this Lease shall not be terminated
so long as such remedies are being diligently pursued.
17.5 Amendment of Lease for Mortgagee’s Purposes. In the event a Mortgagee
succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder and is advised by its counsel that all or any
portion of the rent payable by Tenant hereunder is or may be deemed to be unrelated business
income within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code or Regulations issued
thereunder, Mortgagee, as Landlord, shall have the right at any time from time to time to amend
unilaterally the provisions of this Lease, and Tenant agrees that it will execute all documents
necessary to effect any such amendment, provided that no such amendment shall increase
Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce Landlord’s obligations
hereunder.
18. LANDLORD’S OPTION TO RELOCATE TENANT’S PREMISES
(This Section Intentionally Deleted)
19. SIGNAGE.
(The Section Intentionally Deleted.)
20. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
20.1. (a) Landlord represents, to the best of its knowledge, that on the
Commencement Date, there is no Hazardous Material in the Complex or on the Premises in
violation of any Environmental Law. Landlord hereby agrees that if at anytime during the term of
this Lease it should be determined that the Complex or Premises were contaminated with Hazardous
Material on the Commencement Date of this Lease or thereafter because of any acts or omissions of
Landlord, Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims,
liabilities, damages and obligations of any nature arising from or as a result of such contamination.
20.2. Tenant represents, warrants, and covenants to Landlord that:
(a) Tenant will cause the Premises at all times to be and remain in
compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations
(including consent decrees and administrative orders) relating to public
health and safety and protection of the environment, including those
statutes, laws, regulations, and ordinances identified in subparagraph (f),
all as amended and modified from time to time (collectively,
“Environmental Laws”). Tenant agrees to obtain and keep in effect all
governmental permits and approvals relating to the use or operations of
the Premises required by applicable Environmental Laws, and Tenant
agrees to comply with the terms of the same.
(b) Tenant will not generate, manufacture, store, treat, transport,
release, or dispose of “Hazardous Material,” as that term is defined in
subparagraph (f), on, in, under, about or from the Premises, Building or
Complex, other than in such quantities as are required for the conduct of
Tenant’s business allowed under this Lease, and other than those lawfully
incorporated into the Premises, in keeping with good construction
practices, as appropriate building materials, and then only in compliance
with all Environmental Laws, health, safety, handling, reporting and
disclosure laws, regulations and rules. Tenant shall promptly provide to
Landlord upon written request, but not more often than once in any twelve
month period unless Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that Tenant
is not in compliance with this Section 20, a detailed list of such materials
used in the conduct of Tenant’s business or incorporated in the Premises,
together with copies of all applicable permits related to such materials, if
any. If any Hazardous Material (other than as permitted in the foregoing
sentence) is found on the Premises, or if Tenant or any one of its
employees, agents, contractors, suppliers or invitees causes, contributes to
or aggravates any release or disposal of any Hazardous Material on, in,
under or about the Premises, Building, or Complex, Tenant, at its own cost
and expense will immediately take such action as is necessary to detain the
spread of and remove the Hazardous Material to the complete satisfaction
of Landlord and the appropriate governmental authorities.
(c) Tenant will immediately notify Landlord and provide copies upon
receipt of all written complaints, claims, citations, demands, inquiries,
reports, or notices relating to Tenant’s compliance with Environmental
Laws. Tenant will, at its sole cost, promptly cure and have dismissed with
prejudice any such action. Tenant will keep the Premises, Building and
Complex free of any lien imposed pursuant to any Environmental Laws on
account of Tenant’s generation, manufacture, storage, treatment,
transportation, release, or disposal of Hazardous Material.
(d) If Tenant breaches or fails to comply with any of the foregoing
warranties, representations, and covenants, Landlord may cause the
removal (or other cleanup acceptable to Landlord) of any Hazardous
Material (other than those expressly authorized herein) from the Premises,
Building or Complex. The costs of such Hazardous Material removal and
any other cleanup (including transportation and storage costs) will be
additional rent under this Lease, whether or not a court or administrative
agency has ordered the cleanup, due and payable on Landlord’s demand.
Tenant thereby grants Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors,
access to the Premises to remove or otherwise clean up any Hazardous
Material. Landlord, however, has no affirmative obligation under this
Lease to remove or otherwise clean up any Hazardous Material, from the
Premises, Building or Complex and nothing in this Lease will be
construed as creating any such obligations.
(e) Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord and
Landlord’s affiliates, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees
and agents free and harmless from and against all losses, liabilities,
obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, costs,
judgments, suits, proceedings, damages (including consequential
damages), disbursements, or expenses of any kind (including attorneys’
and experts’ fees and expenses and fees and expenses incurred in
investigating, defending, or prosecuting any litigation, claim, or
proceeding) that may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by, asserted,
or awarded against Landlord or any of them in connection with or arising
from or out of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
This indemnification is the personal obligation of Tenant and shall survive
termination of this Lease. Tenant, its successors, and assigns waive,
release, and agree not to make any claim or bring any cost recover action
against Landlord under CERCLA, as that term is defined in subparagraph
(f), or any state equivalent or any similar law now existing or enacted after
this date.
(f) For purposes of this Lease “Hazardous Material” means:
i. “Hazardous substances” or “toxic substances” as those
terms are defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. #9601, et seq., as
amended to and after this date.
ii. “Hazardous wastes,” as that term is defined by the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), 42 U.S.C. #6901, et seq., as
amended to and after this date.
iii. Any pollutant or contaminant or hazardous, dangerous, or toxic
chemicals, materials, or substances within the meaning of any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, regulation, ordinance, or
requirement (including consent decrees and administrative orders) relating
to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning any hazardous,
toxic, or dangerous waste substance or material, all as amended to and
after this date.
iv. Crude oil or any fraction of it that is liquid at standard conditions
of temperature and pressure (60 degrees Fahrenheit and 14.7 pounds per
square inch absolute).
v. Any radioactive material, including any source, special nuclear, or
by product material as defined at 42 U.S.C. #201 1, et seq., as amended to
and after this date.
vi. Asbestos in any form or condition.
vii. Polychlorinated biphenyl’s (PCB’s) or substances or compounds
containing PCB’s.
viii. Any Bio-Hazardous materials.
(g) Tenant shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or
permit the escape, disposal or release of any biologically or chemically
active or other hazardous substances, or materials. Tenant shall not allow
the storage or use of such substances or materials in any manner not
sanctioned by law or by the highest standards prevailing in the industry for
the storage and use of such substances or materials, nor allow to be brought
into the Premises any such materials or substances except to use in the
ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and then only after written notice is
given to Landlord of the identity of such substances or materials. Without
limitation, hazardous substances and materials shall include those described
in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., any
applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under these acts.
If any lender or governmental agency shall ever require testing to ascertain
whether or not there has been any release of hazardous materials, then the
reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon
demand as additional charges if such requirement applies to the Premises.
In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like
from time to time at Landlord’s request concerning Tenant’s best
knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous substances or
materials on the Premises. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord
in the manner elsewhere provided in this Lease from any release of
hazardous materials on the Premises occurring while Tenant is in
possession, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under
Tenant. The within covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease term.
21. DEFAULT.
21.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” by Tenant:
(a) Tenant fails to make the Pre-Paid Gross Rent payment or Additional Rent
payment when due.
(b) Tenant abandons the Premises.
(c) Tenant fails to comply with any of the provisions of Section 20 -
Environmental Compliance.
(d) Any guarantor of this Lease is in default under any guaranty of this Lease.
(e) Tenant fails, within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any
proceedings against Tenant seeking relief under any reorganization, arrangement,
consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement or
proceeding under any state or federal bankruptcy or other statute, law or
regulation, to have such proceedings dismissed, or Tenant fails, within thirty (30)
days after any appointment pursuant to any state or federal bankruptcy or other
statute, law or regulation, without Tenant’s consent or acquiescence, of any
trustee, receiver or liquidator for the Premises, for Tenant or for all or any
substantial part of Tenant' s assets, to have such appointment vacated.
(f) Tenant fails to perform or comply with any provision of this Lease other
than those described in (a) through (e) above, and such failure is not cured within
fifteen (15) days after notice to Tenant or, if such failure cannot be cured within
such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant fails within such fifteen (15) day period to
commence, and thereafter diligently proceed with, all actions necessary to cure
such failure as soon as reasonably possible but in all events within ninety (90)
days of such notice; provided, however, that if Landlord in its reasonable
judgment determines that such failure cannot or will not be cured by Tenant
within such ninety (90) days, then such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
immediately upon such notice to Tenant.
21.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the
following remedies, which shall not be exclusive but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition
to any other remedies now or hereafter allowed by law:
(a) If Tenant shall have vacated or abandoned the Premises, Landlord may,
with or without terminating this Lease, change the locks on the doors to the
Premises and exclude Tenant therefrom.
(b) Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, or without
notice to Tenant re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease. No re-
entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an
election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such intention is
given to Tenant (all other demands and notices of forfeiture or other similar
notices being hereby expressly waived by Tenant). Upon the service of any such
notice of termination, the Term of this Lease shall automatically terminate.
Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to
any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may
incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Premises,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the value at the time of such termination of any
rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the term over the then reasonable
rental value of the Premises for the remainder of such term, all of which amount
shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.
(c) Landlord may require that, upon any termination of the Lease or Tenant’s
right to possession without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord, vacate the same and remove all
effects therefrom except those that may not be removed under other provisions of
this Lease. If Tenant fails to surrender possession and vacate as aforesaid,
Landlord may forthwith re-enter the Premises and expel and remove Tenant and
any other persons and property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary,
without being deemed guilty of trespass, eviction, conversion or forcible entry
and without thereby waiving Landlord’s rights to rent or any other rights given
Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity. If Tenant does not remove all
effects from the Premises, Landlord may either declare such effects abandoned
and dispose of the same in any reasonable manner without liability to Tenant or
any other party, or remove any or all of such effects in any manner it shall choose
and store the same without liability to Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord on
demand any expenses incurred in such removal and storage for any length of time
during which the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or in storage.
(d) Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect, and the Lease
will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to
possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Pre-Paid Gross Rent and
Additional Rent when due. After Tenant’s right to possession is terminated
Landlord may enter the Premises and may make such alterations and repairs as it
shall determine may be reasonably necessary to re-let the Premises and Landlord
may (but shall not be required to) re-let the same or any part thereof upon such
terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon
any re-letting, all rentals received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be
applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent or
other charges due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the
payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting, including brokerage fees,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such alterations and repairs; and third, to
the payment of Pre-Paid Gross Rent and Additional Rent and other charges due
and unpaid hereunder. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any surplus
of any sums received by Landlord on a re-letting in excess of the rental and other
charges payable hereunder. If such rentals and other charges received from such
re-letting during any month are less than those to be paid during that month by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord upon demand. No act
by Landlord allowed by this Section shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord
notified Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.
21.3 Receipt of Monies. No receipt of monies by Landlord from or for the account of
Tenant or from anyone in possession or occupancy of the Premises after the giving of any notice
under this Lease, including, without limitation, a notice of termination of this Lease, shall
reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to
the receipt of such money. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount
than the charges herein reserved shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
stipulated rent or other charges, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or on any
letter accompanying any check be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction. Landlord shall not be
deemed to have accepted payment made to a “lockbox” or other depository until ten (10) days after
Landlord’s actual receipt of the payment if, and only if, during said period Landlord did not refund
or attempt to refund such payment. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant
requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.
21.4 Bankruptcy. If at any time there exists an act of bankruptcy, which shall include
the filing by Tenant, or any guarantor of a petition in bankruptcy (including, without limitation, a
petition for liquidation, reorganization or for adjustment of debts of an individual with regular
income), the filing of any such petition against Tenant or any guarantor with such party failing to
secure a discharge thereof within 30 days after the filing thereof, or Tenant or any guarantor
becoming insolvent or admitting in writing an inability to pay its debts as they mature, or making
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitioning for or entering into an arrangement with
creditors or a custodian being appointed or taking possession of Tenant’s or any guarantor's
property whether or not a judicial proceeding is instituted, then this Lease at Landlord’s option
shall (if permitted by law) be terminated, in which event neither Tenant, any guarantor, nor any
person claiming through or under Tenant or any guarantor or by virtue of any statute or court
order shall be entitled to possession of the Premises. Landlord, in addition to the other rights and
remedies given by this Lease or by virtue of any statute or rule of law, may retain as liquidated
damages any rent or any monies received by Landlord from Tenant or others on behalf of
Tenant.
21.5 Legal Expenses. In case suit shall be brought because of the breach of any
agreement or obligation contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant or Landlord to be kept or
performed, and a breach shall be established, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all
expenses incurred therefor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.
21.6 Landlord’s Right to Cure Default. If Tenant fails to perform any agreement or
obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right (but shall be
under no obligation), if no emergency exists, to perform the same upon ten (10) days notice to
Tenant, and, in any emergency, to perform the same immediately without notice or delay. For
the purpose of curing Tenant’s defaults as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right to enter the
Premises and Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand reimburse Landlord for any costs
incurred by Landlord to cure any of Tenant’s defaults, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable for
any loss, inconvenience, annoyance or damage resulting to Tenant or anyone holding under
Tenant for any action taken by Landlord pursuant to this Section. Any act done by Landlord
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of any such default by Tenant or a waiver of
any covenant, term or condition herein contained or the performance thereof.
21.7 Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease
are distinct, separate, non-exclusive and cumulative rights and remedies, in addition to every
other remedy at law or in equity, and may be exercised concurrently. No delay or failure by
Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition
hereof, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance
of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any
such breach, agreement, term, covenant or condition. No waiver by Landlord of any breach
(including recurrent failure to timely pay rent) by Tenant under this Lease or of any breach by
any other tenant under any other lease of any portion of the Complex shall affect or alter this
Lease in any way whatsoever or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
21.8 Security Deposit. (This Section Intentionally Deleted.)
21.9 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Lease until Tenant has given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of the default and
unless Landlord does not cure the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice or
within such reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary to cure the default where it is of such
a character as to reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to cure. In the event of a default by
Landlord, Tenant's remedies shall be limited to suits for damages and/or injunctive relief. In no
event shall Tenant have the right to terminate the Lease.
22. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.
22.1 Condition. At the expiration of the term hereof, Tenant shall surrender the
Premises broom-clean in good condition and repair.
22.2 Holding Over. In the event Tenant remains in possession of any part of the
Premises after the expiration of the tenancy created hereunder, without Landlord’s written
consent, Tenant shall be considered a hold-over tenant subject to all of the conditions of this
Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a hold-over tenant, except that the Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an amount equal to 5% of the Pre-Paid Gross Rent amount for each month of Tenant’s
hold-over. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during any hold-over
tenancy, Tenant shall vacate the Premises within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s written
notice (“Holdover Notice To Vacate”). If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the
Holdover Notice To Vacate without the execution of a new lease, it shall be occupying the
Premises as a tenant at sufferance, subject to all of the conditions of this Lease insofar as the
same are applicable to tenant at sufferance, except that the monthly rent payable by Tenant shall
be an amount equal to 10% of the Pre-Paid Gross Rent amount. Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defending the same, incurred by Landlord and arising
from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender the Premises, including (i) any rent payable by or any
loss, cost, or damages, including lost profits, proven by any prospective tenant of the Premises,
and (ii) Landlord’s damages as a result of such prospective tenant rescinding or refusing to enter
into the prospective lease of the Premises by reason of such failure to timely surrender the
Premises. Nothing contained herein shall limit Landlord’s right to evict Tenant as allowed under
Arizona law.
22.3 Fixtures. All partitions, wall-covering, ceilings, sinks, plumbing, floor covering,
and other improvements within the Premises shall become the property of Landlord at the
moment of completion of installation; provided, however, Landlord may direct Tenant to
remove, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any such improvements, upon the termination of this
Lease not previously approved by Landlord and any such other improvements required to be
removed as indicated by Landlord at the time of Landlord’s consent to same. Tenant shall, at its
sole cost and expense, remove all plenum wiring and other cabling located in the ceiling of the
Premises upon the termination of this Lease. Tenant shall retain ownership of all removable trade
fixtures and machinery (“Tenant’s Property”) placed in the Premises by Tenant. Prior to the
expiration of the Term, Tenant shall remove all Tenant’s Property and repair any damages
occasioned by such removal at Tenant’s expense. Upon the failure of Tenant to remove Tenant’s
Property prior to expiration of the Term, all remaining Tenant’s Property shall, at Landlord’s
election, be deemed abandoned by Tenant.
23. NOTICES.
Whenever under this Lease, provision is made for notice, such notice shall be in writing, and it
shall be deemed sufficient notice and service, if such notice is delivered personally or by a
nationally-recognized overnight courier service providing proof of delivery or by U.S. certified
mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Tenant at the address set forth in Section 1.3 or
the Landlord at its then current address for the payment of rent under this Lease. Any notice so
sent shall be effective for all purposes at the time of personal delivery or deposit thereof in the
U.S. mail. Either party may hereafter change the address for notice stated in Section 1, above, by
notifying the other party in writing of the new address.
24. TENANTS ACCESS AND SECURITY BACKGROUND CHECKS.
Tenant recognizes that the Building and Complex is a secured Maricopa County facility and that
no access shall be granted to Tenant’s employees, agents, officers, members, directors,
contractors, subcontractors, venders, volunteers, guests, customers or invitees without the
successful completion of a security background check and clearance on the part of the Landlord
for each of Tenant’s employees, agents, officers, members, directors, contractors, subcontractors,
venders, volunteers, guests, customers and invitees requests access to the Building or Complex.
Tenant shall cooperate completely with Landlord in providing Landlord with all necessary
information to allow Landlord to complete the security background check. Tenant shall be
financially responsible for any lost/stolen/misplaced/damaged access cards that are issued on
behalf of the Tenant’s employees, agents, officers, members, directors, contractors,
subcontractors, venders, volunteers, guests, customers and invitees. Tenant recognizes and
accepts that Landlord may deny access to any of Tenant’s employees, agents, officers, members,
directors, contractors, subcontractors, venders, volunteers, guests, customers or invitees at the
sole discretion of Landlord.
25. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.
In the event that two or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other entities (or any
combination of two or more thereof) shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each
individual, corporation, partnership or other entity to perform all obligations hereunder shall be
deemed to be joint and several. In like manner, in the event that Tenant shall be a partnership or
other business association, the members of which are, by virtue of statute, or general law, subject
to personal liability, then and in that event, the liability of each such member shall be deemed to
be joint and several.
26. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
So long as Tenant is not in default under any of the covenants and agreements of this Lease,
Tenant’s quiet and peaceable enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Landlord or by
any person claiming by, through, or under Landlord.
27. BROKERAGE FEES.
Tenant warrants that it has not incurred liability for any real estate brokerage fees or any other
fees to any third party in connection with this Lease and in the event that any third party
institutes legal action in an effort to recover brokerage fees, Tenant shall defend such action and
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any related damages, liability or costs.
28. GENERAL.
28.1 Consent. Whenever under this Lease provision is made for Tenant to secure the
consent of Landlord, such consent shall be in writing. The consent by either party to any act by
the other party of a nature requiring consent shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any
similar act.
28.2 Lease Negotiation. The submission of this Lease for examination does not
constitute an offer, a reservation of or option for the Premises, and this Lease shall become
effective only upon execution and delivery thereof by both parties.
28.3 No Modification. This writing is intended by the parties as a final expression of
their agreement and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof. No course of
prior dealings between the parties or their officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be
relevant or admissible to supplement, explain or vary any of the terms of this Lease. No
representations, understandings or agreements have been made or relied upon in the making of
this Lease other than those specifically set forth herein. This Lease can be modified only by a
writing signed by the party against whom the modification is enforceable.
28.4 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease, or any portion thereof, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, then the remainder of this Lease and the application of such term or provision to
persons or circumstances, other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall
not be affected and shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
28.5 Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed so
as to confer upon any other party the rights of a third party beneficiary except rights contained
herein for the benefit of Landlord’s Mortgagee.
28.6 Headings. The headings of the Sections and Subsections herein are for
convenience only, and do not limit or construe the contents of such Sections and Subsections.
28.7 Force Majeure. Whenever a period of time is herein provided for either party to
perform, said party shall not be responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the
computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of
labor or materials, national emergency, acts of a public enemy, governmental restrictions, laws
or regulations, or any other cause or causes, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated,
beyond its reasonable control. This Section shall not excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of
rent, additional rent, or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease.
28.8 Parties in Interest. The terms, conditions, covenants and agreements herein
contained shall inure to the benefit of and shall bind the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
28.9 Waiver. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed waived unless such waiver
is in writing and signed. The waiver of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be
deemed a waiver of such provision or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other
provision of this Lease. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy shall impair
such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Landlord’s acceptance of any payment of rent
due under this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any default by Tenant under this Lease,
including Tenant’s recurrent failure to timely make Monthly Installment or Additional Rent
payments, and no endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying any check or
payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act
by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.
28.10 Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any and all rights which
either may have to request a jury trial in any proceeding at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
28.11 Limitation of Liability. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the liability of
Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to its interest in the Building and any judgments
rendered against Landlord shall be satisfied solely out of the proceeds of sale of its interest in the
Complex. No personal judgment shall lie against Landlord upon extinguishment of its rights in
the Complex and any judgment so rendered shall not give rise to any right of execution or levy
against Landlord’s assets. The provisions hereof shall inure to Landlord’s successors and assigns
including any Mortgagee. The foregoing provisions are not intended to relieve Landlord from
the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, but only to limit the personal
liability of Landlord in case of recovery of a judgment against Landlord.
28.12 Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other form of business
entity, each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant warrants and represents that
Tenant is a duly organized and validly existing entity, that Tenant has full right and authority to
enter into this Lease and the persons signing on behalf of Tenant are authorized to do so and
have the power to bind Tenant to this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord upon request with
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the foregoing representations.
28.13 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event suit is brought for the recovery of the Premises, or
any sum due hereunder, or because of any act which may arise out of possession of the Premises,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of all costs incurred therein, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees.
28.14 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be interpreted as creating
a partnership, joint venture, or relationship of principal and agent between Landlord and Tenant,
it being understood that the sole relationship created hereby is one of landlord and tenant.
28.15 Applicable Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Arizona. This Lease is subject to A.R.S. §38-511 and Landlord may
terminate this Lease subject thereto.
28.16 Entire Agreement.
(a) This Lease contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties
hereto. All prior negotiations, understandings and agreements between the parties
have been incorporated herein and are superseded hereby.
(b) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that no prior information provided or
statements made by Landlord or its agent(s) (“Prior Information”), including
without limitation, estimated Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes, any
other financial matters, and any matters related to:
(i) Any of the premises in the Building or Complex;
(ii) The Building itself or the Complex itself; or
(iii) The number or kind of tenants in the Building or Complex,
have in any way induced Tenant to enter into this Lease.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that prior to entering into this Lease, the Tenant has
satisfied itself of all its concerns by conducting an independent investigation of
the validity of such Prior Information.
28.17 Restrictive Covenants at Security Building and Center. Tenant’s use of the
Premises shall comply with the restrictive covenants now in force or later
imposed on the Premises.
28.18 Additional Terms. (This Section Intentionally Deleted.)

cure period under the Lease expires; (ii) Lender receives the notice required by this paragraph;
