otherwise preventing or enjoining a party from proceeding with its obligations under this Lease,
restraint by or of governmental, civil or military authorities, or any other causes beyond the
reasonable control of the parties.
(b) Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Lease, each portion of the Project
Improvements shall be considered substantially completed (which, together with any other
phrase similar to, or other form of, "substantially completed," is herein called "Substantially

Tenant access to the Demised Premises (provided that such access is permitted by all applicable

to Landlord the Lease Commencement Date Memorandum shall be deemed an admission that
the Lease Commencement Date Memorandum is accurate, unless Tenant has delivered
objections thereto to Landlord within the 10 day period.
(b) Delays in Substantial Completion of Project Improvements. It is anticipated that
the Project Improvements shall be Substantially Completed in accordance with this Lease b y the
Scheduled Substantial Completion Date. In the event that, unless any such delay was due to an
Excused Delay, the Project Improvements are not Substantially Completed by the date which is
90 days after the Scheduled Substantial Completion Date (the "First Delayed Scheduled
Substantial Completion Date"), then all Base Rent hereunder shall abate for one day for each
day from the First Delayed Scheduled Substantial Completion Date to the actual date on which
the Project Improvements are Substantially Completed in accordance with this Lease (the
"Actual Substantial Completion Date"). In the event that, subject to Excused Delays, the
Project Improvements are not Substantially Completed by the date which is 180 days after the

inspection and development of the list of the Punch List Items (the "Punch List"). Landlord
shall thereafter promptly commence material completion of the Punch List Items within 30 days
after the Punch List has been finalized, and shall continue to pursue such completion with
- 6 -
commercially reasonable diligence and speed, but no later than 60 d ays after the Punch List has
been finalized (subject to Excused Delays).

semi-annual period, and denominator of which is 180; provided, however, the amount of

Section 5.2 Tenant's Right to Contest Impositions. Tenant shall have the right to
contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Imposition by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted in good faith. If permitted by law, Tenant may postpone or defer payment
of such Imposition if (a) neither the Demised Premises nor any portion thereof would, by reason
of such postponement or deferment, be in danger of being forfeited or lost, and (b) unless
Landlord and Tenant have reasonably agreed as to an alternate form of security, Tenant shall
have deposited with Landlord cash or a certificate of deposit payable to Landlord issued by a
national bank or federal savings and loan association reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the
amount of one hundred ten and 00/100 percent (110.00%) of the Imposition so contested and
unpaid, together with all interest and penalties which may accrue in Landlord's reasonable
judgment in connection therewith, and all charges which may be assessed against or become a
charge on the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, during the pendency of such
proceedings. Immediately upon the termination of any such proceedings, Tenant shall pay the
amount of such Imposition or portion thereof, if any, as finally determined in such proceedings,
the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings,
together with any costs, fees, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, interest,
penalties, fines and other liability in connection therewith. Within 30 days after such payment
by Tenant, Landlord shall return all amounts or certificates deposited with it with respect to the
contest of such Imposition, as aforesaid, or at the written direction of Tenant, Landlord shall
make such payment out of the funds on deposit with Landlord and the balance, if any, shall be
returned to Tenant. Tenant shall be entitled to the refund of any Imposition, penalty, fine and
interest thereon received by Landlord which have been paid by Tenant or which have been paid
by Landlord but for which Landlord has been previously reimbursed in full by Tenant. Landlord
shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in this Section 5.2 unless the
provisions of any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect requires that such proceedings be
brought by or in the name of Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall join in such proceedings or
permit the same to be brought in Landlord's name at no cost to Landlord and upon compliance
with such conditions as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall not ultimately be
subject to any liability for the payment of any fees, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings. Tenant shall pay all
