EXHIBIT 6.4
L E A S E
---------
THIS LEASE is made this 17th day of March, 1993 by and between Xxxx
---- -----
Properties, (hereinafter called "Lessor") and GPI Division, Napro, Inc., an Ohio
Corporation (hereinafter called "Lessee").
W I T N E S S E T H:
--------------------
1. DESCRIPTION AND LEASE OF PREMISES
---------------------------------
Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor,
the premises situated in the Village of Fairport, County of Lake, and State of
Ohio and more fully described in the legal description attached hereto as
Exhibit A and made a part hereof, together with such appurtenances thereto as
shall be necessary for Lessee's use thereof. Such premises may hereinafter be
referred to as the "Premises."
2. TERM
----
2.1 Original Term
-------------
The term of this Lease shall be five (5) years, commencing June
1, 1993, and ending at midnight May 31, 1998.
2.2 Additional Term
---------------
If this Lease has not been terminated and Lessee is not in
default of any provision of this Lease, Lessee shall have the option to extend
this Lease for an additional term of five (5) years, under the same conditions
as are provided in this Lease except that: (a) there shall be no further right
of renewal, and (b) the rent for such additional term shall be increased based
upon the Index as more fully set forth herein. As used in this paragraph 2.2
"Index" shall mean the "Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers" "(1967 = 100)" specified for "All Items," relating to Cleveland, Ohio,
and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of
Labor. If the Index shall hereafter be converted to a different standard
reference base or otherwise revised, the determination of the Percentage
Increase (as used
below) shall be made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as
may be published by an nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical
information. In the event the Index shall cease to be published, then, for the
purposes of this paragraph 2.2 there shall be substituted for such Index such
other index as Lessor and Lessee shall agree upon. The annual rental for each
year of the renewal period shall be determined by adding to the rent in the
immediately preceding year an amount equal to the rent in the immediately
preceding year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Index on the last day of the immediately preceding year of the Lease minus the
Index on the first day of the immediately preceding year of the Lease and the
denominator of which shall be the Index on the first day of the immediately
preceding year. (For example, in the first renewal year of the lease, the rent
would be computed by taking the year 5 rent ($4.78) and multiplying it by the
Index on the last day of year 5 minus the Index on the first day of year 5
divided by the Index on the first day of year 5. The resulting figure would then
be added to the year 5 rent with that result being the rent per square foot for
year 6. Lessee may exercise such option by giving notice to Lessor as provided
herein no earlier than June 1, 1997, and no later than January 1, 1998.
2.3 Holding Over
------------
If Lessee holds over in possession of the Premises after the
expiration date of the original term or any additional term of this Lease and no
new lease is executed, Lessor shall have the option of (1) renewing this Lease
for an additional term of one (1) year, or (11) considering Lessee a month-to-
month tenant, in either event under the same conditions, other than term, as are
provided in this Lease and then in effect, including rent. Lessor may exercise
its option to renew this Lease as provided above by giving Lessee notice thereof
as provided in this Lease within thirty (30) days after commencement of Lessee's
holding over in possession. If Lessor fails to give such notice within the time
provided therefor, a month-to-month tenancy shall be deemed to have been
created.
3. RENT
----
3.1 Basic Rent
----------
(2)
During the original term of this Lease, rent shall be computed on the
basis of an annual charge per square foot of space within the building located
on the premises, said building consisting of 16,000 square feet of space. Rent
shall be computed in accordance with the following schedule:
Year Annual Rental Per Total
----
Square Foot Annual Rent
----------- -----------
1 $ 4.25 $ 68,000
2 4.38 70,080
3 4.51 72,160
4 4.64 74,240
5 4.78 76,480
The annual rent shall be paid in twelve (12) equal installments in
advance on the first day of each month.
3.2 Effect of Increase in Real Estate Taxes
---------------------------------------
(a) During the first three (3) years of the term of this lease, if
the real estate taxes imposed on the Premises for any "Comparison Year" (herein
after defined as any year beginning January 1, 1994, or thereafter) should
exceed such taxes for the "Base Year" (herein defined as the year beginning
January 1, 1993), then the rental for each such Comparison Year shall be
increased over the amount set forth in paragraph 3.1 of this Lease by the excess
of such taxes for such Comparison Year over such taxes for the Base Year,
prorated for any period of less than a full calendar year during which Lessee
occupies or leases the Premises.
During the fourth and fifth years of the original term of this Lease,
and during any renewal or holdover period, the rental shall be increased by the
full amount of any real estate taxes imposed on the Premises.
(b) Upon receipt of each xxxx from the appropriate taxing authority,
Lessor shall prepare and render to Lessee a statement for the amount of
additional rent to be paid to Lessor hereunder. Such amount shall be payable
within fifteen (15) days after such statement shall have been rendered.
(c) Either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to protest any such
increase in taxes or assessments or otherwise seek reduction therein, as its
expense.
(3)
3.3 Method of Payment
-----------------
All rent payments shall be made payable to Lessor and shall be sent to
Lessor at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, unless Lessor shall direct
otherwise by notice to Lessee.
4. CONDITION OF PREMISES, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
-----------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Condition of Premises at Commencement of Term
---------------------------------------------
Lessee has examined the Premises, knows their condition and
accepts the Premises in their present condition. Lessee acknowledges that
Lessor has made no representations to Lessee as to the condition of the Premises
prior to or at the execution of this Lease, and has promised no repairs or
alterations.
4.2 Required Repairs and Maintenance by Lessee
------------------------------------------
(a) Lessee shall have sole responsibility, as its expense, to
repair and maintain (i) both the interior and exterior of the Premises
(including, but not by way of limitation, all plumbing, heating, electrical,
fire alarm, burglar and sprinkler systems), and (ii) all driveways, sidewalks,
parking areas and other paved areas servicing the Premises. Lessee shall also,
at its sole expense, keep all walks, driveways, sidewalks, parking areas and
other paved areas servicing the Premises free of snow, ice, water, rubbish and
dirt and other natural or artificial accumulations.
(b) Lessee shall perform such repairs and maintenance thereon as
may be necessary to maintain such areas in a clean, safe, serviceable and sound
condition, and to comply with the laws, ordinances and regulations of all
authorities which have jurisdiction over the Premises.
(c) Lessor shall make such structural repairs as may be
necessary during the term of this Agreement at his own expense.
4.3 Condition of Premises at Termination of Lease
---------------------------------------------
(a) Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease,
Lessee shall remove its goods and effects and those of all persons claiming
under it from the Premises and shall deliver and yield the Premises to Lessor in
as good repair and condition as the Premises were at the commencement of the
term of this Lease, except reasonable wear and tear and destruct
(4)
ion as described in Section 8 of this Lease for which Lessee is not obligated to
make repairs.
(b) All improvements installed in the Premises by Lessee but not
affixed to the building as permanent installations shall remain the property of
Lessee. Lessee may remove the same upon the termination of this Lease and shall
repair to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction or reimburse Lessor for any damage
resulting from such removal. All improvement affixed to the building with the
intention to make them permanent installations, whether installed by Lessee or
by Lessor, shall be the sole property of Lessor, and Lessee shall have no right
to remove same.
5. UTILITIES
---------
Lessee shall pay all charges for the use of sewers, water, heat,
light, fuel and other utilities relating to the Premises. Wherever possible,
Lessee shall make all payments directly to the provider of the services;
otherwise, Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for all payments made directly
by Lessor to the providers of such services.
6. DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES
------------------------------------
If the Premises should be damaged or destroyed by any cause Lessee
shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and Lessor shall, with reasonable
speed, repair or rebuild the Premises so that they are restored to the same
utility for the uses described herein that they had immediately prior to the
happening of such damage or destruction, to the extent possible with the
insurance proceeds paid to Lessor as a result of the damage or destruction. So
long as Lessee shall be unable to occupy the Premises for the uses described
herein because of any damage or destruction not caused by the conduct of Lessee,
its agents, employees, visitors or invitees, its basic rent shall be reduced by
an amount which bears the same ratio to the basic rent hereunder as the unusable
square footage bears to the total number of square feet comprising the Premises.
7. EMINENT DOMAIN
--------------
7.1 Effect of Eminent Domain or Similar Proceeding
----------------------------------------------
(5)
If all or any part of the Premises or building located thereon are
appropriated or taken under the power of eminent domain by any public authority,
or by any quasi-public authority, and as a result of such taking there is
material interference with the conduct of Lesee's business conducted within the
Premises or if Lessee is denied access to the Premises, then this Lease shall
terminate, and the rent and any other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor shall be
prorated as of the date that possession is taken by such condemning authority,
and other sums payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease shall be paid. However,
if (i) Lessor is able on remaining land to restore the building or other
improvements so that upon the completion of such improvements Lessee will be
able to operate its business in a manner that is not materially adverse to such
operations, or (ii) such taking or voluntary conveyance does not materially
interfere with the conduct of Lessee's business, then this Lease shall not
terminate but the rent and other charges payable by Lessee to Lessor shall be
adjusted upon a basis which shall be reasonable under the circumstances then
existing, and the Lessor shall promptly commence and diligently proceed to
restore the Premises to a complete architectural unit out of the proceeds
received by Lessor for such taking.
7.2 Meaning of "Material Interference"
---------------------------------
For the purpose of this paragraph, the term "material interference"
shall be deemed to mean such taking as would leave remaining a balance of the
Premises which, because of either the area so taken or the location of the part
so taken in relationship to the part not so taken, would not under economic
conditions, zoning laws or building regulations then existing or prevailing,
accommodate an operation of a similar nature to that conducted by the Lessee
immediately prior to the taking.
7.3 Disposition of Award
--------------------
If there are any legal proceedings in connection with any taking
referred to in this paragraph, each of the parties hereto shall make its own
separate claim to the authority taking the Premises and each shall be entitled
the separate award or compensation granted to it as a result of prosecuting its
claim. Both Lessor and Lessee shall retain whatever rights are permitted them by
law to oppose such taking or conveyance.
(6)
7.4 Taking Not a Breach of Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment
--------------------------------------------------
No taking shall operate as or be deemed an eviction of the Lessee
or a breach of the Lessor's covenants for quiet enjoyment.
7.5 Definition of "Taking"
----------------------
As used in this Section 9, the term "taking" or "taken" shall
include both condemnation and any voluntary conveyance in lieu of, or under
threat of, condemnation.
8. INSURANCE
---------
8.1 Public Liability Insurance
--------------------------
Lessee will obtain, at its expense, effective as of the
commencement of its right to occupy the Premises, and will maintain so long as
Lessee continues to occupy or lease any part of the Premises, complete
comprehensive liability insurance, under which Lessor will be named as an
additional insured, the policy or policies to be in such form and issued by such
company or companies as are satisfactory to Lessor, in the sum of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in the event of injury to one person or damage to
property and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000,00) in the event of injuries to
more than one person or damage to property arising out of each occurrence for
which a claim for damages may result. Said policy or policies, or a copy or
copies thereof, or a certificate or certificates thereof, will be deposited with
Lessor together with evidence of payment of the premiums thereon, within thirty
(30) days after their issuance.
8.2 Contents
--------
The insurance coverage of contents of the Premises belonging to
Lessee, if such coverage is desired, shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee.
8.3 Fire, Extended Coverage and Similar Coverages
---------------------------------------------
Lessee agrees to maintain insurance coverage, under which
(7)
Lessor will be named as an additional insured, on all of the Premises against
loss or damage by fire, lightning, and such perils as are at this time
comprehended within the term "Extended Coverage." Said insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the replacement value of the premises. Such insurance shall be
obtained and maintained at the sole responsibility and expense of Lessee. Lessor
shall have the right to review any insurance policies purchased by Lessee under
the terms of this Lease.
8.4 Mortgagee Protection
-------------------
Any of the foregoing policies of insurance shall contain an
endorsement substantially similar to the Standard Mortgagees' Form of
Endorsement, recognizing the interests of any Mortgagee or Mortgagees. All
proceeds of said policies of insurance shall in such event be payable to Lessor
or to said Mortgagee in accordance with the terms and provisions of the mortgage
creating the right of such Mortgagee.
8.5 Waiver of Subrogation
---------------------
Each party hereby waives all causes and rights of recovery which
it has or may have or which may arise hereafter against the other party, its
agents, officers and employees for any loss occurring to the leased premises,
property or business (regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of
such other party, its agents, officers and employees), resulting from any of the
perils against which the damaged party is protected by fire, extended coverage,
building and contents, business interruption, or other insurance, to the extent
of any recovery upon such policies of insurance. However, if said waiver should
invalidate such policies of insurance in whole or in part, said waiver shall be
void. If any additional premium should be charged for such a waiver provision,
the party benefitted by such waiver, upon the other party's request, shall
reimburse the other party for such additional premium.
9. USE
---
9.1 General
-------
(8)
(a) Lessee shall occupy and use the Premises as a factory and
warehouse and for no other purpose, and in a careful, safe and proper manner and
shall not commit or suffer any waste therein. Lessee shall not occupy or use the
Premises for any unlawful purpose, in violation of any lawful covenant or
condition of record restricting the use of the Premises or in any way that would
increase the premiums to be paid by Lessor for fire and extended coverage
insurance affecting the Premises. In its occupation and use of the Premises,
Lessee shall comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, requirements
and orders of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the
Premises.
(b) If any such authority notifies Lessor of a violation of any such
law, ordinance or regulation, Lessor shall notify Lessee thereof, and Lessee
shall have ten (10) days following such notice to commence to correct such
violation and thirty (30) days to complete the corrective actions. Failure by
Lessee so to act within such ten (10) day period shall constitute a default for
the purposes of this Lease.
(c) All excise taxes, license fees and charges for permits which may
arise from the use or operation of the Premises or the conduct of any business
thereon shall be payable by Lessee, and Lessee shall save Lessor harmless for
all liability therefor.
9.2 Alterations and Improvements
----------------------------
(a) Upon obtaining Lessor's written consent, Lessee may, at its
expense, make such interior alterations and improvements (not including
structural alterations) to the Premises as shall be necessary for its full use
of the Premises consistent with this Lease, provided that no such alterations
will materially decrease the value or marketability of the Premises. Lessor
shall not unreasonably withhold such consent, if (i) the proposed alterations or
additions shall not materially decrease the value or marketability of the
Premises, (ii) Lessee provides Lessor with reasonably sufficient drawings and
specifications of the work to be done and the materials to be furnished, and
(iii) Lessee provides Lessor with sufficient security to assure that proper
insurance and worker's compensation coverage are in effect during the
performance of the work and that the work will be completed free of liens
against the Premises. Such alterations and improvements shall be done in a good,
workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations.
(9)
(b) Lessor may make such alterations and additions affecting the
Premises as it might desire provided that; (1) the same shall not materially
impair Lessee's use of the Premises consistent with this Lease and, (2) Lessor
shall have given prior notice of said alterations and additions to Lessee.
10. DEFAULT
-------
10.1 Events Constituting Default
---------------------------
For the purpose of this Lease, "default" shall mean any of the
following events: (a) Abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, or (b) An
assignment made by Lessee for the benefit of creditors, or consent by Lessee to
an appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a substantial part of Lessee's
property, or (c) The filing of an involuntary petition seeking the appointment
of a receiver or trustee of all or a substantial part of its property, which
proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days from its entry, or
(d) Failure by Lessee to pay any installment of rent within ten (10) days after
it is due, or (e) failure by Lessee to pay any other money obligation within ten
(10) days after Lessor shall have given written notice that such rent or other
obligation is past due, or (f) Failure by Lessee to perform or observe any other
covenant or agreement under this Lease, which failure shall continue uncured for
a period of thirty (30) days after delivery to Lessee of written notice thereof
(unless such delay in curing such failure is by reason of strike, accident,
casualty or other cause beyond Lessee's reasonable control, in which event said
thirty (30) day period shall be extended by the period of such delay or unless a
different cure period is specified therein), or (g) The taking of the leasehold
estate hereby created on execution or by other processes or operation of law, or
(h) Lessee's permitting the Premises to be vacant or unoccupied for more than
twelve consecutive days.
10.2 Effect of Default
-----------------
In the event of default, Lessor may at its option (a) terminate
this Lease, or, without terminating this lease, terminate Lessee's right to
possession of the Premises under this Lease, (b) reenter the Premises with or
without process of law, using such force as may be necessary and remove all
persons and chattels therefrom, and Lessor shall not be
(10)
liable for damages or otherwise by reason of such reentry, (c) xxx for and
collect (1) the whole amount of rent herein provided to be paid through the
entire term of this Lease (including the unexpired portion thereof), in case of
any event identified in paragraphs 11.1 (b) or (c) hereof; otherwise, the amount
of rent owed by Lessee to Lessor as accrued when the action to collect same is
brought, (2) all other sums for which Lessee shall be in default (including, but
not limited to, those resulting from damage to the Premises, taxes and
insurance) (3) the costs of preparing the Premises for re-rental (including, but
not limited to, brokerage fees, advertising costs, and painting and repairing),
and (4) reasonable attorney's fees to the extent permitted by law, (d) cure any
default relating to the condition of the Premises and obtain reimbursement of
expenses therefor from Lessee, or (e) employ any other remedy provided by law.
The foregoing remedies may be exercised individually or cumulatively at the
option of the Lessor, and the exercise of any one shall not be deemed a waiver
of Lessor's right to exercise one or more additional remedies. Except as
provided in this Lease, Lessee waives the necessity of demand for rent and any
other demand or notice that may now or hereafter be required by any statute,
regulation or decision for the maintenance of any action in forcible entry and
detainer. The commencement of such an action by Lessor shall for the purposes of
this Lease be equivalent to Lessor's exercise of its right to reenter the
Premises.
10.3 Waiver of Default
-----------------
No waiver of any condition or covenant of this Lease by Lessor or
Lessee shall be construed as constituting a waiver of any subsequent breach of
any such condition or covenant or as justification or authorization for the
breach of any other covenant or condition of this Lease, nor shall the
acceptance of rent by Lessor at a time when Lessee is in default under any
covenant or condition of this Lease be construed as a waiver of such default or
of any of Lessor's rights, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate
this Lease on account of such default or as an estoppel against Lessor or be
construed as an amendment to this Lease or as a waiver by Lessor of any other
right created herein or by law in favor of Lessor and against Lessee on account
of such default.
11. Mechanics' Liens
----------------
(11)
The Lessee shall not permit any mechanics', laborers', materialmens'
or other liens to stand against the Premises for any labor, machinery, material
or fuel furnished or claimed to have been furnished in connection with work of
any character performed or claimed to have been performed on, or pertaining to
the Premises solely for Lessee or under Lessee's control, whether such work was
performed or materials furnished prior to or subsequent to the commencement of
the term of this Lease. If any such lien shall be filed or shall attach, the
Lessee shall promptly either pay the same or procure the discharge thereof by
giving security or in such other manner as is required or permitted by law. If
Lessee fails to do so within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice
from Lessor so to do, Lessor may procure the discharge of such lien, by payment
or otherwise, and may recover all costs and expenses of so doing from Lessee.
Moreover, Lessee shall indemnify and defend Lessor from and against all claims,
demands and legal proceedings on account of such furnishing of claimed
furnishing of labor, machinery, material and fuel, and shall directly pay or
reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses thereof, including, but not limited
to, attorney's fees (to the extent permitted by law), bond premiums and court
costs.
12. QUIET ENJOYMENT
---------------
Upon Lessee's paying the rent and performing and observing the
agreements and conditions on its part to be performed and observed, Lessee shall
and may peacably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Premises during the term
of this Lease without interference by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or
under Lessor. However, Lessor shall not be liable for any damage or interference
with use occasioned by or from (i) any plumbing, gas, water or other pipes
bursting or leaking, or (ii) water, snow or any ice entering the building.
13. RIGHT OF ENTRY
--------------
Lessor, its agents and employees shall have the right, during Lessees
working hours, and after reasonable notice to Lessee, to enter the Premises to
view and inspect the same and to perform any work therein which may be required
or permitted of Lessor hereunder; provided, however, that Lessor, its agents and
employees shall in exercising such right not unreasonably interfere with the
operation of Lessee's business. During
(12)
the last six (6) months of the term (original or additional) of this Lease, or
in the event of any default by Lessee, Lessor may enter the Premises, show the
Premises to prospective tenants, and advertise on the Premises for such
purposes.
14. INDEMNITY
---------
Lessee will indemnify and defend Lessor from any and all claims,
liabilities, damage or loss to persons (including loss of life) or property
which may arise from the use of the Premises or from the conduct or management
of or from any work or thing done in or about the Premises by or on behalf of
Lessee or any employee, agent, invitee or licensee of Lessee, together with all
costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by Lessor in connection with any
such claim, demand, or legal proceeding arising therefrom brought against
Lessor.
15. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE
---------------------------------------------
15.1 Subordination and Attornment
----------------------------
This Lease shall, at Lessor's option, be subject, subordinate and
inferior in lien to a mortgage that may hereafter be placed on the Premises, and
Lessee will, upon demand, without cost, execute any instrument necessary to
effectuate such subordination. If, within five (5) days after submission of such
instrument, Lessee fails to execute same, Lessor is hereby authorized to execute
same as attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for Lessee.
15.2 Non-Disturbance
---------------
Lessor shall use its best efforts to produce from any such
mortgage an agreement in writing in recordable form which shall be delivered to
Lessee, providing in substance that so long as Lessee is not in default in the
payment of rental or any other covenants or conditions of this Lease, the rights
of the Lessee under this Lease shall not be terminated and the possession of the
Lessee shall not be disturbed by the holder of any such mortgage and that upon
change of ownership through foreclosure or otherwise the purchaser shall not
disturb Lessee's peaceful possession of the Premises provided Lessee is not in
default under this Lease.
(13)
16. SECURITY DEPOSIT
----------------
Upon the execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor a
sum equal to one month's rent. Such sum shall be returned to Lessee upon the
expiration of this Lease (including additional term, if any) provided Lessee
shall have fully and faithfully carried out all of the terms, conditions and
covenants to be performed hereunder by Lessee. If the event of a sale, subject
to this Lease, the Lessor may transfer such deposit to the purchaser or his
assignee for the account of Lessee. Lessee shall thereupon release Lessor from
all liability for the return of such deposit and shall look solely to such
purchaser or assignee for the return of such deposit. If Lessee exercises its
right to purchase the Premises in accordance with this Lease, Lessor may apply
the deposit provided for hereunder to the purchase price.
17. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASE AND CHANGE OF ORGANIZATION
-----------------------------------------------
17.1 Assignment and Sublease
-----------------------
Lessee shall not assign this lease or any of its benefits or
burdens under this Lease, or sublet all or any part of the Premises, or permit
all or any part of the Premises to be used or occupied by others unless Lessee
first obtains Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold such consent so long as the character and use of the Premises are not
changed as a result of such assignment, subletting or permission, and if a
substantial portion of the Premises is involved, so long as the assigner,
sublessee or permittee is at least as financially responsible as Lessee.
Notwithstanding any assignment, sublease or permission granted hereunder, Lessee
will not be discharged of any obligation or liability under this Lease unless
Lessor shall have first consented to such discharge. Lessee shall be solely
responsible for all broker's or finder's fees which might be incurred in
connection with such assignment, sublease or permission and shall indemnify and
defend Lessor against all claims, loss and liability for such fees. Moreover,
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any increase in insurance premiums resulting
from such assignment, sublease or permission.
17.2 Change of Organization of Lessee
--------------------------------
(14)
Lessee shall not terminate its existence, be a party to any
merger or consolidation, change its form of organization or permit the change of
identity of its principal officers or the transfer of all, or substantially all,
or the controlling interest of its shares, without first having obtained
Lessor's consent. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold such consent and shall
be deemed to consent to any change in officers status or in shareholding
resulting from the death or long-term disability of any officer or shareholder
of Lessee.
