(a) The term of this Lease shall be for twelve (12) months (the "Primary Lease Term") commencing at 12:01 a.m. on ____________ (the "Commencement Date") and terminating at 11:59 p.m. on ____________ (the "Termination Date"), unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. In the event the Premises are not "Ready for Occupancy" as such Term is defined below, the Commencement Date shall mean and refer to the date the Premises are Ready for Occupancy. The Primary Lease Term as it may be extended shall be referred to herein as the "Term".

(b) Other than as set forth in a work letter attached hereto and incorporated herein as EXHIBIT C (the "Work Letter"), Landlord shall have no obligation for completion or remodeling of the Premises and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "AS IS" condition on the date Landlord delivers possession to the Tenant. If Landlord has agreed to complete the work in the Premises, such work shall be set forth in the Work Letter. If the Premises are not Ready for Occupancy (as hereafter defined) on the Commencement Date, unless such delay is caused by Tenant, its agents or employees, the rental obligations hereunder shall not commence until the Premises are Ready for Occupancy, provided, however, other than the payment of Rent, this Lease and all covenants, conditions and terms hereof shall be in full force and effect. The postponement of the Tenant's obligation to pay Rent and other sums herein provided for such period shall be in full settlement for all claims which Tenant might otherwise have by reason of the Premises not being Ready for Occupancy on the Commencement Date. If Landlord is delayed in delivering the Premises to Tenant because the same are not Ready for Occupancy or due to the failure of a prior occupant to vacate the same, then the Rent and commencement of the Term shall be postponed as hereinabove set forth, and such postponement shall be in full settlement of all claims which Tenant may otherwise have by reason of the delay of delivery. "Ready for Occupancy" as used herein shall mean the date that Landlord shall have substantially completed any remodeling work to be performed by Landlord to the extent set forth in the Work Letter. The certificate of Landlord's representative in charge of supervising the completion or remodeling of the Premises shall control conclusively the date upon which the Premises are Ready for Occupancy. If Landlord has agreed to perform work in the Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice that the Premises are Ready for Occupancy.

(c) If, as a result of the postponement or acceleration of the Commencement Date, the Term would begin other than on the first day of a calendar month, the Commencement Date shall be delayed until the first day of the next calendar month and the Primary Lease Term shall be calculated from such date. Tenant shall pay proportionate Rent at the same monthly rate set forth herein (also in advance) for such partial month.

(d) "Lease Year" as used in this Lease shall mean each twelve (12) month period beginning with the Commencement Date, or any anniversary thereof and ending on the preceding day one (1) year later.

(e) Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Premises were in the condition agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, and acknowledgment of satisfactory completion of the work which Landlord has agreed in writing to perform, if any, except as otherwise set forth in this Lease and except as may be reflected in any written agreement to the contrary (i.e. a punchlist), signed by both Landlord and Tenant.

(xii) All real and personal property taxes and assessments levied against the Building by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, including any taxes, assessments, surcharges, or service or other fees of a nature not presently in effect which shall hereafter be levied on the Building as a result of the use, ownership or operation of the Building or for any other reason, whether in lieu of or in addition to any current real estate taxes and assessments; provided, however, that any taxes which shall be levied on the rentals of the Building shall be determined as if the Building were Landlord's only property and provided further, that in no event shall the term "taxes and assessments", as used herein, include any federal, state or local income taxes levied or assessed on Landlord, unless such taxes are a specific substitute for real property taxes.

(5) Operating Expenses shall expressly exclude Landlord's income taxes; leasing commissions, advertising and promotional expenses; interest on debt or amortization payments on any mortgages or deeds of trust; costs of repairs or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty to the extent of insurance proceeds received; and depreciation on the Building.

(b) It is hereby agreed that Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent during each calendar year during the Term hereof Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses in excess of the Base Year Operating Expenses. The Base Year Operating Expenses as used herein shall mean the actual Operating Expenses for the Building for the calendar year ____. An estimated amount of such Operating Expenses excess shall be payable monthly on the same date and at the same place Base Rent is payable, with an adjustment to be made between the parties at a later date as hereinafter provided.

(1) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, as soon as practicable following the end of any calendar year of the Lease Term, an estimate of the increases, if any, in Operating Expenses in excess of the Base Year for the new calendar year (the "Budget Sheet"). Until receipt of the Budget Sheet, Tenant shall continue to pay its monthly Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases, if any, in Operating Expenses based upon the estimate for the preceding calendar year. To the extent that the Budget Sheet reflects an estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the new calendar year greater than the amount actually paid to the date of receipt of the Budget Sheet for the new calendar year, Tenant shall pay such additional amount for each month of the new calendar year elapsed before receipt of such Budget Sheet to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Budget Sheet. Upon receipt of the Budget Sheet, Tenant shall thereafter pay the amount of its monthly Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases, if any, in Operating Expenses as set forth in the Budget Sheet. As soon as practicable following the end of any calendar year, usually by May 1st, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail describing the computations of the Operating Expenses, setting forth the exact amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases, if any, in Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed (the "Statement"), and the difference, if any, between the actual Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed and the estimated amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses paid by Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's failure to deliver the Statement to Tenant on or before May 1st shall in no way serve as a waiver of Landlord's rights under this Paragraph. To the extent that the actual Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the period covered by the Statement is higher than the estimated Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses which Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just completed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such balance within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Statement from Landlord. To the extent that the actual Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases, if any, in Operating Expenses for the period covered by the Statement is less than the estimated Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases, if any, in Operating Expenses which Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just completed, Landlord shall credit the excess against any sums then owing or next becoming due from Tenant under the Lease.

(c) If the Lease Term hereunder covers a period of less than a full calendar year during the first or last calendar years of the Term hereof, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses for such partial year shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the number of months in such year during which Tenant leased the Premises.

(d) After written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right at its own expense and at a reasonable time during Landlord's regular business hours within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement to engage a certified public accountant ("Tenant's Accountant") to audit Landlord's books relevant to the disputed amount of Landlord's Statement of Operating Expenses under this Paragraph 5. In the event Tenant does not audit Landlord's books and deliver the results thereof to Landlord within said 30-day period, the terms and amounts set forth in the Statement shall be deemed conclusive and final. In the event Tenant's examination reveals that an error has been made in Landlord's determination of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses and Landlord agrees with such determination, then the amount of such adjustment shall be payable by Landlord or Tenant, to the other party as the case may be. In the event Tenant's examination reveals an error has been made in Landlord's determination of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses, and Landlord disagrees with the results thereof, Landlord's accountant and Tenant's Accountant shall endeavor to agree on the matter. In the event Landlord's accountant and Tenant's Accountant are unable to reconcile their audits within thirty (30) days after Tenant's audit, both accountants shall mutually agree upon a third accountant, whose determination of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of increases in Operating Expenses shall be conclusive. In the event the amount of error by Landlord is determined to be ten percent (10%) or more of the total Operating Expenses set forth in Landlord's Statement, the reasonable costs of the additional two audits (excluding any charges billed on a contingency fee basis) made pursuant to this subparagraph shall be paid by Landlord. In the event the amount of error by Landlord is determined to be less than ten percent (10%) of the total Operating Expenses set forth in Landlord's Statement, the reasonable costs of the two audits made pursuant to this subparagraph shall be paid by Tenant.

(e) Landlord's failure during the Lease Term to prepare and deliver any Statements or Budget Sheet, or Landlord's failure to make a demand under this Paragraph or under any other provision of this Lease shall not in any way be deemed to be a waiver of, or cause Landlord to forfeit or surrender its rights to collect any items of Additional Rent which may have become due pursuant to this Paragraph during the Term of this Lease. Tenant's liability for all Additional Rent due under this Paragraph 5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any lease entered into by Landlord with any tenant in the Building provides for a separate basis of computation for any Operating Expense with respect to its leased premises, then, to the extent that Landlord determines that an adjustment should be made in making the computations herein provided for, Landlord shall be permitted to modify the computation of Base Operating Expenses, Rentable Area, and Operating Expenses for a particular calendar year, in order to eliminate or otherwise modify any such expenses which are paid for in whole or in part by such tenant. Furthermore, in making any computations contemplated hereby, Landlord shall also be permitted to make such adjustments and modifications to the provisions of this Paragraph 5 as may be reasonably necessary to achieve the intention of the parties hereto.

(g) In the event the Building Rentable Area is not fully occupied during any particular calendar year, Landlord shall adjust those Operating Expenses which are affected by the occupancy rates for the particular calendar year, or portion thereof, as the case may be, to reflect an occupancy of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of all such Building Rentable Area.
