Improvements shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease Term but shall not be damaged,

fixtures and improvements therein and thereon, through regular inspections and servicing (and
replacement where appropriate), including without limitation (i) all plumbing and sewage facilities

any broken glass shall promptly be replaced by Tenant at Tenant’s expense with glass of the same
kind (to the extent permitted by applicable building codes), size and quality. Tenant shall be
responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement when necessary of all HVAC equipment which
serves the Leased Premises and shall keep the same in good condition through regular inspection and
servicing at least once every three (3) months.
(b) All repairs and replacements required of Tenant hereunder shall be promptly made with new
materials (or, with Landlord’s consent, other materials) of like kind and quality. If the work
results in a change in the character of the improvements on the Leased Premises or affects the
structural parts of the Leased Premises or if the estimated cost of any item of repair or
replacement is in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), then Tenant shall first obtain
Landlord’s written approval as to the scope of work, materials to be used, and the contractor.
Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for approval promptly (and immediately in the event of
emergency) and in any event within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such request.
6.2 Environmental Condition.
(a) Tenant shall not, or permit any other person to, store, discharge, dispose of, dump,
disperse, release, treat or generate pollutants, contaminants or hazardous or toxic substances,
wastes or materials (as determined under applicable Law) in, on, about, under or from the Leased
Premises unless such storage, discharge, disposal, dumping, dispersion, release, treatment or
generation is carried out in full compliance with all applicable Laws.
(b) Immediately following obtaining knowledge of the presence of or any discharge, disposal,
dumping,
-9-
dispersion or release of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous or toxic substances, wastes or
materials prohibited by Law (“Pollution Hazard”), Tenant shall immediately upon discovery thereof

and deliver to Landlord, three (3) detailed estimates of the cost of remedying such Pollution
Hazard, and (iii) begin appropriate remedial action and diligently pursue such remedial action to
completion, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
(c) In the event of a Pollution Hazard remediation of which is likely, in Landlord’s
reasonable estimation, to cost more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), Tenant shall
provide Landlord, immediately upon Landlord’s request, with adequate financial assurances that
Tenant will meet its obligations under Paragraph 6.2(b) above. The financial assurances required
under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall take the form of a bond or letter of credit in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the
anticipated cost of the remedial action required under Paragraph 6.2(b) hereof and shall be
provided within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request.
(d) Upon Landlord’s request, from time to time (but not more frequently than four (4) times in
any twelve (12) month period), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written list of all toxic and
hazardous substances, materials or wastes stored, discharged, disposed of, released, treated or
used by Tenant in, on or about the Leased Premises.
6.3 Security. Tenant shall employ and coordinate the services of reasonably skilled

Laws either inside the building(s) contained within the Leased Premises or within outside trash
enclosures which are designed for such purpose. All entrances to such outside trash enclosures
shall be kept closed, and waste shall be stored in such manner as not to be visible from the
exterior of such outside enclosures. Tenant shall cause all of its waste to be regularly removed
from the Leased Premises at Tenant’s sole cost. Tenant shall keep all fire corridors and mechanical
equipment rooms in the Leased Premises free and clear of all obstructions at all times.

water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer service, waste pick-up, and any other utilities,
materials or services furnished directly to or used by Tenant on or about the Leased Premises

ARTICLE VIII
REAL PROPERTY TAXES
8.1 Real Property Taxes Defined. The term “Real Property Taxes” as used herein shall
mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever,
general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest
required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases
resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership) now or hereafter imposed by any
governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect
power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the
value, occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Leased Premises (as now constructed or as may
at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord’s interest
therein; any improvements located within the Leased Premises (regardless of ownership); the
fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of
and located on the Leased Premises; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Leased
Premises; and (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or
other governmental control of the Leased Premises. If at any time during the Lease Term the
taxation or assessment of the Leased Premises prevailing
-11-
as of the Commencement Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property
Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in
the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an
alternate or additional tax or charge (1) on the value, use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or
Landlord’s interest therein or (2) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the
Leased Premises, on Landlord’s business of leasing the Leased Premises, or computed in any manner
with respect to the operation of the Leased Premises, then any such alternate or additional tax or
charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes”
for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to
the Leased Premises, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the
Leased Premises shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate,
inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax
imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources.
8.2 Tenant’s Obligation To Pay. Not less than ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt
of any tax xxxx for Real Property Taxes, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant a true, correct and
complete copy of such tax xxxx. As additional rent, Tenant shall pay directly to the appropriate
governmental or quasi-governmental authorities all Real Property Taxes no later than ten (10) days
before such Real Property Tax becomes delinquent (or, as to any tax xxxx Tenant receives less than
fifteen (15) days prior to such delinquency date, no later than five (5) business days after
receipt of such tax xxxx). Concurrently with any such payment, Tenant shall supply Landlord with
written evidence that all Real Property Taxes then due and payable pursuant to this Article shall
have been paid prior to delinquency. If any Lender which is a bank, savings or thrift institution,
insurance company or other financial institution requires Landlord to impound any sums to pay Real
Property Taxes on a periodic basis during the Lease Term, then Tenant, on notice from Landlord
indicating this requirement, shall pay to Landlord such sums as the Lender requires to be impounded
on the same periodic basis in accordance with the Lender’s requirements. Landlord shall impound the
Real Property Tax payments received from Tenant in accordance with the requirements of the Lender.
Amounts impounded shall be maintained in an interest bearing account until paid, and Tenant shall
be entitled to interest earned thereon. Tenant shall only be required to pay those Real Property
Taxes or installments thereof which are payable
-12-
with
respect to periods during the Lease Term, with appropriate proration at the beginning and end
of the Lease Term.
8.3 Taxes on Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all
taxes, assessments, license fees, and public charges levied, assessed, or imposed against Tenant or
Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the property of Tenant situated within the Leased Premises which
become payable during the Lease Term if nonpayment thereof could give rise to a lien on the Leased
Premises.
8.4 Tax Segregation. In the event that the Leased Premises are not separately taxed or
assessed with respect to any Real Property Tax, then such Real Property Tax shall be equitably
apportioned and allocated between the Leased Premises and the other areas with which it is
assessed, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay, pursuant to this Article, only the proportion of
such Real Property Tax which is so allocated to the Leased Premises.
8.5 Tax Contest. In the event that Tenant shall desire in good faith to contest or
otherwise review by appropriate legal or administrative proceeding any Real Property Tax, Tenant
shall, no later than ten (10) days after Tenant receives notice of the Real Property Tax assessment
Tenant desires to contest, give Landlord written notice of its intention to do so. Tenant may
withhold payment of the Real Property Tax being contested if, but only if, both (i) nonpayment is
permitted during the pendency of such proceedings without the foreclosure of any tax lien or the
imposition of any fine or penalty and
(ii) Tenant shall obtain and furnish Landlord with a bond or other security device, and otherwise
comply with the reasonable requirements of Section 1.07(c) of the Existing Mortgage, and sufficient
to protect Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises in an amount not less than one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the amount contested. Any such contest shall be prosecuted to completion (whether
or not this Lease shall have expired or terminated in the interim) and shall be conducted without
delay and solely at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against any and
all expense, liability or damage resulting from such contest or other proceeding. At the request of
Tenant, Landlord shall join in any contest or other proceedings which Tenant may desire to bring
pursuant to this paragraph. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) arising out of such joinder. Within ten (10) days after the final determination of
the amount due from Tenant with respect to the Real Property Tax
contested, Tenant shall pay the
amount so determined to be due, together with all costs, expenses and interest, whether or not this
Lease shall have then expired or terminated.

ARTICLE IX
INSURANCE
9.1 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall, at its own expense and cost, maintain the
following policies of insurance in full force and effect during the Lease Term and any Extension
Period:
(a) Property insurance insuring against loss or damage resulting from all-risk perils with
respect to the building structures on the Leased Premises in an amount not less than 100% of the
full insurance replacement cost thereof.
(b) Business interruption insurance insuring against loss of income resulting from the same
perils described above in an amount not less than one year of total Base Monthly Rent and
Additional Rent, calculated at the rate payable during the next ensuing year of the Lease Term.
(c) Comprehensive general liability insurance applying to the use and occupancy of the Leased
Premises, or any part thereof, and the business operated by Tenant on the Leased Premises. Such
insurance shall include Broad Form Contractual liability insurance coverage insuring all of
Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease. The general liability coverage shall have a
minimum combined single limit of liability of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) and a
general aggregate limit of two million dollars ($2,000,000) (except products liability as to which
the aggregate liability is $1,000,000). The Company will maintain a $1,000,000 all risks umbrella
policy. Such coverage may be subject to a deductible not in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000) (except for products liability coverage as to which the deductible shall be in a
reasonable and customary amount). All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury,
property damage, personal injury and other covered loss, however occasioned, occurring during the
policy term and shall be endorsed to add Landlord and any Lender with a first lien mortgage as an
additional insured and to provide that such coverage shall be primary and that any insurance
maintained by Landlord shall be excess insurance only. All such insurance shall provide for
severability of interest; shall provide that an act or omission of one of the named insureds shall
not reduce or avoid coverage to the other named insureds; and shall afford coverage for all claims
based on acts, omissions, injury and damage, which claims occurred or arose (or the onset of which
occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period. Tenant shall also maintain
workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with
-14-
applicable law and employers’ liability insurance with coverage no less than that customarily
maintained by similar employers in the area.
9.2 Landlord’s Insurance. If at any time during the Term the amount or coverage of any
insurance which Tenant is required to carry hereunder is, in Landlord’s absolute discretion, less
than the amount or type of insurance coverage that Landlord believes appropriate, Landlord shall
have the right to obtain such other or additional insurance as Landlord believes appropriate
(“Other Insurance”), and Tenant shall pay the cost of such insurance as Additional Rent hereunder,
to the extent the cost of Other Insurance required under this Lease and under all Other Leases (as
defined in Paragraph 13.1(b) hereof) does not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per year, in
the aggregate.
9.3 Policies. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord on the date of this Lease and
thereafter within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, certificates of
insurance issued by the insurance carrier of each policy of insurance carried by Tenant pursuant
hereto showing that all premiums have been paid for the full policy period. Each certificate shall
expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage
or otherwise be subject to modification except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
parties named as insureds herein. Landlord, Landlord’s successors and assigns and any nominee of
Landlord holding any interest in the Leased Premises, including the holder of any fee mortgage,
shall be named as additional insureds under each policy of insurance maintained by Tenant. All
insurance policies carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article IX shall be issued by insurance
companies with a rating of “Good” or better as rated in Best’s Insurance Guide. Any deductible
amounts under any insurance policies required hereunder shall be subject to Landlord’s prior
written approval. If Tenant shall fail to procure any insurance required under this Lease or to
deliver the certificates required under this Paragraph 9.3 Landlord may, at its option and in
addition to Landlord’s other remedies in the event of a default by Tenant hereunder, procure such
insurance for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as additional
rent on demand.
9.4 Release and Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereto release each other, and
their respective authorized representatives, from any claims for injury to any persons or damage to
property that are caused by or result from risks insured against under any insurance policies
carried by the parties and in force at the time of
-15-
such
damage, but only to the extent such claims are covered by such insurance. This release shall
be in effect only so long as the applicable insurance policies contain a clause to the effect that
this release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover under such policies. Each party
shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all
rights of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any damage covered
by such policy.
ARTICLE X
LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S
LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
10.1 Limitation on Landlord’s Liability. Except for loss proximately caused by
Landlord’s active negligence or willful misconduct, and then only to the extent such loss is not
covered by insurance actually carried or required to be carried pursuant to this Lease, Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any
abatement of rent, for any injury to Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees; damage
to Tenant’s property; or loss to Tenant’s business resulting from any cause, including without
limitation any (i) failure or interruption of any HVAC or other utility system or service; (ii)
governmental regulation, including a rationing or other control of utility services or use of the
Leased Premises; (iii) penetration of water into or onto any portion of the Leased Premises through
roof leaks or otherwise; or (iv) the presence in, on, under or about the Leased Premises of any
hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes.
10.2 Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend
Landlord, and its employees, agents and contractors, with competent counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord, from all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action,
claims and/or judgments arising by reason of any death, bodily injury, personal injury or property
damage (i) resulting from any cause or causes whatsoever (other than the active negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, any Lender or any agent of Landlord or Lender) occurring in or
about or resulting from an occurrence in or about the Leased Premises, or (ii) resulting from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees and contractors, wherever the
same may occur, or (iii) resulting from any failure by Tenant to perform and observe its covenants
and obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or
sooner
-16-
termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such
expiration or sooner termination.
ARTICLE XI
DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES
11.1 Duty To Restore. If the Leased Premises are damaged by any casualty after the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall restore fully the Leased Premises to the condition existing prior
to such casualty (unless the Lease is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 11.2) and insurance proceeds
relating to such damage shall be used in the restoration of the Leased Premises; provided that, so
long as the Existing Mortgage is in effect, such proceeds shall be paid to the then current holder
of the Existing Mortgage and applied in accordance with the terms of Section 1.09(a) thereof. If
this Lease is not so terminated, then upon the issuance of all necessary governmental
permits, Tenant shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the Leased
Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition as that existing
immediately prior to such damage.
11.2 Tenant’s Right To Terminate.
(a) If any of the following occurs, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease,
which option may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to
terminate within thirty (30) days after such occurrence:
(i) The Leased Premises are damaged by any casualty and restoration cannot be
substantially completed within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date of such
damage (as determined by an engineer selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord and
any Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); or
(ii) The Leased Premises are damaged by any casualty within twelve (12) months
of the last day of the Lease Term or any proper extension thereof and the restoration
cannot be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date
of such damage (as determined by an engineer selected by Tenant and approved by
Landlord and any Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
-17-
(b) As a condition precedent to termination of the Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 11.2, all
insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which covers loss to property that is
Landlord’s property or would become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid
to and become the property of Landlord (subject to the terms of any first mortgage held by a
Lender), and, if such insurance proceeds are insufficient to restore the Leased Premises, Tenant
shall pay the amount of such deficiency to Landlord, subject to applicable provisions of the
Existing Mortgage.
11.3 No Abatement of Rent. There shall be no abatement of Base Monthly Rent or other
sums due hereunder, irrespective of any event of damage to the Leased Premises, unless and until
this Lease shall have terminated as a result of such damage.
ARTICLE XII
CONDEMNATION
12.1 Definitions. As used in this Lease, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(a) The term “Condemnation” shall mean (i) any taking by the exercise of the power of eminent
domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by any person or entity having the legal power
to do so, (ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor, either under threat of
condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending, or (iii) any taking by
inverse condemnation.
(b) The term “substantially all” shall mean a portion of the Leased Premises (that is, less
than all of the Leased Premises) which leaves remaining a balance that may not be economically
operated for the purpose for which the Leased Premises was operated prior to the Condemnation in
question, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment.
(c) The term “less than substantially all” shall mean a portion of the Leased Premises that is
not all or substantially all (as defined above) of the Leased Premises.
(d) The term “Date of Taking” shall mean the date the condemnor has the right to possession of
the property being condemned.
-18-
(e) The term “Award” shall mean all compensation, sums, or anything of value awarded, paid or
received on a total or partial Condemnation.
12.2 Total Condemnation. If all or substantially all of the Leased Premises are taken
by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking.
12.3 Partial Condemnation. If less than substantially all of the Leased Premises are
taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion taken and otherwise remain in
full force and effect, except that the amount of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder, from time to
time, shall be reduced, from and after the Date of Taking in the same proportion as the Award bears
to the fair market value of the Leased Premises on the Date of Taking. Landlord shall have no
obligation to restore the Leased Premises, or otherwise compensate Tenant (except through such rent
reduction), in the event of such partial Condemnation.
12.4 Temporary Taking. If all or substantially all of the Leased Premises is
temporarily taken by Condemnation for a period which either exceeds one (1) year or which extends
beyond the expiration of the Lease Term, then Landlord and Tenant shall each independently have the
option to terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by the condemnor. If any
portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken by Condemnation for a period of less than one
year, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with no abatement of rent.
12.5 Division of Condemnation Award. Any Award made as a result of any Condemnation of
the Leased Premises shall belong to and be paid to Landlord (except that any Award for partial
Condemnation described in Section 12.3 hereof shall (subject to the terms of any first mortgage
held by a Lender) be paid to Landlord net of reasonable restoration expenses), and Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that
Tenant shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant
expressly (i) for the taking of personal property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for
the interruption of Tenant’s business or its moving costs, and/or (iii) for any temporary taking
where this Lease is not terminated as a result of such taking. The rights of Landlord and Tenant
regarding any Condemnation shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby
waives the provisions of any law allowing either party to petition a court to terminate this Lease
in the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises.
-19-
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
13.1 Events of Default. Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease
if any of the following events shall occur:
(a) Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or any other rent or
payment due Landlord on the date due hereunder; provided that Landlord shall give Tenant notice of
such failure and three (3) days to cure such failure; provided further that, if Landlord gives any
such notice, from time to time, then for the one (1) year period thereafter Tenant shall be in
default immediately upon any failure to pay any such amount due Landlord hereunder on the date such
payment is due; or
(b) Any default by the Tenant shall have occurred under any other Industrial Real Property
Lease entered into between Landlord and Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant (each an “Other Lease”),
unless at the time of such default either (i) the original Landlord (or the holder of the Existing
Mortgage or a successor thereunder, including a purchaser at foreclosure or grantee of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure) is either (A) no longer the owner of the fee estate in the Leased Premises, or
(B) no longer the owner of the fee estate in the premises leased under such other lease, or (ii)
the Continuing Lease Guaranty by Guarantor guarantying such Other Lease shall have terminated in
accordance with the terms of paragraph 6 thereof; or
(c) Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease except
those requiring the payment of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or any other rent or payment due
Landlord, and Tenant shall have failed to cure such failure within ten (10) days after written
notice from Landlord specifying the nature of such breach, provided, however, that if any such
breach cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period then Tenant may have a reasonable
period to cure such breach provided, however, that Tenant commences to cure the breach within said
ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion; or
(d) Tenant shall have made a general assignment of its assets for the benefit of its
creditors; or
(e) Tenant shall have sublet the Leased Premises or assigned its interest in the Lease in
violation of the provisions contained in Article XIV, whether voluntarily or by operation of law;
or
-20-
(f) Tenant shall have permitted the sequestration or attachment of, or execution on, or the
appointment of a custodian or receiver with respect to, all or any substantial part of the property
of Tenant or on any property essential to the conduct of Tenant’s business and Tenant shall have
failed to obtain a return or release of such property within thirty (30) days thereafter, or prior
to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier; or
(g) Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased Premises; or
(h) A court shall have made or entered any decree or order with respect to Tenant or Tenant
shall have submitted to or sought a decree or order (or a petition or pleading shall have been
filed in connection therewith) which: (i) grants or constitutes (or seeks) an order for relief,
appointment of a trustee, or confirmation of a reorganization plan under the bankruptcy laws of the
United States; (ii) approves as properly filed (or seeks such approval of) a petition seeking
liquidation or reorganization under said bankruptcy laws or any other debtor’s relief law or
statute of the United States or any state thereof; or (iii) otherwise directs (or seeks) the
winding up or liquidation of Tenant; and such petition, decree or order shall have continued in
effect for a period of thirty (30) or more days.
13.2 Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall have
the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by any Law or
otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:
(a) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce all of its
rights and remedies under the Lease, including (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as
they become due by appropriate legal action, and (ii) the right to invoke the remedies of
injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this
Lease.
(b) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, terminate this Lease and re-enter the Leased
Premises by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate
on the date set forth for termination in such notice. Any termination under this subparagraph shall
not relieve Tenant from the payment of any sums then due Landlord or from any claim against Tenant
for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing. In no event shall any act or omission by
Landlord, in the absence of a written
-21-
election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease, including,
without limitation:
(i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s
interest hereunder;
(ii) Consent or refusal to consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or
assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or
otherwise; or
(iii) Any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s agents intended to mitigate the
adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including without limitation
any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises or any action taken to
relet the Leased Premises or any portions thereof, for the account of Tenant and in
the name of Tenant.
(c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, this Lease shall
not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its election to so terminate this
Lease. No act by or on behalf of Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach,
including those described by subparagraphs (b)(i), (ii) and (iii) immediately preceding, shall
constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession unless Landlord gives Tenant written
notice of termination. Should Landlord not terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice,
Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the recovery of rent
as it becomes due under the Lease.
(d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s
election, to damages as provided under applicable law or as set forth in these subparagraphs
13.2(d)(i)-(iii). For purposes of computing such damages (i) an interest rate of fifteen percent
(15%) per annum (or the maximum rate allowed by law if such rate is less than 15% per annum) shall
be used where permitted, and (ii) rent due under this Lease shall include Base Monthly Rent,
Additional Rent and all other rent or other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, prorated on a
monthly basis where necessary to compute such damages. Such damages shall include without
limitation:
(i) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by
-22-
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%); and
(ii) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease or for expenses incurred by Landlord in performing Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom, including, without limitation, the following: (a) expenses for cleaning,
repairing or restoring the Leased Premises; (b) expenses for altering, remodeling or
otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting, including
installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a
reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (c)
broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises;
(d) costs of carrying the Leased Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums,
utilities and security precautions; (e) expenses in retaking possession of the Leased
Premises; (f) attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking
possession of the Leased Premises and in reletting the Leased Premises; and (g) the
portion of any brokerage commission paid by Landlord in procuring this Lease
attributable to the remaining balance of the Lease Term.
(iii) For purposes of this Article, the rent due for any calendar month after
which Tenant has terminated the operation of its business as herein specified or has
abandoned the Leased Premises shall be deemed to be the average monthly rent,
including the Base Monthly Rent and all additional rent hereunder, which were due for
the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to such termination or for such
shorter period of time as this Lease shall have been in effect.
(e) Nothing in this paragraph shall limit Landlord’s right to indemnification from Tenant
as provided in Paragraph 10.2.
13.3 Landlord’s Right To Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by
Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money required
-23-
to be paid by it hereunder (other than Monthly Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease)
or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder (whether such payment
or performance is due to Landlord or any third party), Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to,
and without waiving any default of Tenant or releasing Tenant from any obligations to Landlord
hereunder, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or
performed as in this Lease provided (including but not limited to Tenant’s obligations pursuant to
Paragraphs 4.2, 6.1 and 6.2 hereof). All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental
costs, together with interest thereon at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (or the
maximum rate allowed by law if such rate is less than 15% per annum) from the date of such payment
by Landlord, shall be paid to Landlord forthwith on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies (including, but not limited to,
Landlord’s remedies under Paragraph 13.5 hereof) in the event of nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in
the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent.
13.4 Waiver. One party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party
requiring the first party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
the first party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. The
receipt by Landlord of any rent or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to
either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy
or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or hereafter occurring. The waiver by
either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions herein contained.
13.5 Late Charge. In the event any amount of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or any
other payment due Landlord hereunder shall remain unpaid for five (5) calendar days after such
amount becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without notice or demand, a late charge equal to
five percent (5%) of such overdue amount to partially compensate Landlord for its administrative
costs in connection with such overdue payment.
-24-
ARTICLE XIV
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 By Tenant. The following provisions shall apply to any assignment or subletting
by Tenant:
(a) Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or assign or encumber its interest in this
Lease, whether voluntarily or by operation of law without Landlord’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (i) it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold such consent if, on the date such
consent is requested, Tenant is in default hereunder, (ii) unless the proposed assignee is
substantially more solvent than Tenant and Guarantor (on a consolidated basis), it shall be
reasonable for Landlord to withhold such consent if, on the date Landlord’s consent is requested,
the Guaranty is no longer in full force and effect or if, on the date Landlord’s consent is
requested, the Guaranty provides materially less security to Landlord than it provided on the
Commencement Date, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, and (iii) it shall be unreasonable for
Landlord to withhold such consent as to an assignment to an affiliate of Tenant or a deemed assignment under paragraph (e) below unless, in either case, the Guaranty is no longer in full force and
effect or Tenant is in monetary or material nonmonetary default hereunder. Any attempted
subletting, assignment or encumbrance without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable
and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder.
(b) Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred
by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested assignment,
subletting, transfer, change of ownership or hypothecation of the Leased Premises or Tenant’s
interest in this Lease. No such assignment, subletting, transfer, change of ownership or
hypothecation shall be effective until (i) Tenant shall have paid such costs and fees; (ii) each
such assignee or transferee (excluding a subtenant) shall have agreed in writing for the benefit of
Landlord to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant, and (iii) an executed copy of such sublease, assignment, encumbrance, or other agreement of
transfer shall have been delivered to Landlord.
(c) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of this Lease or to one or
more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be
-25-
a consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrances or subletting.
(d) No
subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of
its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to
be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting.
(e) Subject to Paragraph 14.1(a) above, if Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer in the aggregate
over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, shall be deemed a
voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. The phrase “controlling percentage” means
the ownership of and the right to vote stock possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to
vote for the election of directors. If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary,
involuntary or by operation of law, of any general partner, or the dissolution of the partnership,
shall be deemed a voluntary assignment.
(f) If Tenant transfers or assigns this Lease or all or part of its interest in this Lease in
accordance with this Article, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all net
consideration received by Tenant as a result of such assignment as and when received by Tenant. If
Tenant sublets all or part of the Leased Premises in accordance with this Article, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the positive difference, if any, between (i) all rent
and other consideration paid by the subtenant to Tenant less (ii) all costs incurred by Tenant
incident to the sublease agreement (including an amount equal to the resulting product of the rent
payable hereunder to Landlord by Tenant during the time period covered by such payments by the
subtenant times a fraction whose numerator is the leasable area of that portion of the Leased
Premises so sublet and whose denominator is Tenant’s gross leasable area). Said consideration shall
be payable to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such consideration
is paid to Tenant by its subtenant, and, in calculating Landlord’s share of any periodic payments,
all costs incurred by Tenant incident to the sublease agreement (other than the payment of rent to
Landlord hereunder) shall be amortized over the term of the sublease. Landlord shall have the right
to require Tenant to certify the accuracy of
-26-
the amount of compensation so paid and to conduct annual independent audits thereof at
Landlord’s sole cost.
14.2 By Landlord. Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to
transfer their interest in the Leased Premises and this Lease at any time and to any person or
entity. In the event of any conveyance of the Leased Premises and assignment by Landlord of this
Lease to another, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer,
the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any
further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the
Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer, and (ii) shall be relieved of
all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued
before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such obligations of
the Landlord hereunder and such transferee is not substantially less solvent than Landlord. In the
event the Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises is transferred to multiple transferees, such
transferees shall designate, by a written notice to Tenant delivered upon such transfer, the name
and address of a single person to whom all rent and notices to be paid or given by Tenant hereunder
shall be addressed and who shall be the sole authorized party to give notices to Tenant hereunder;
Tenant’s payment of rent to such designated person shall satisfy Tenant’s obligation to pay rent to
Landlord; Tenant’s delivery of notices to such designated person shall constitute notice to
Landlord and Tenant may rely upon notices from such designated person as being notice from
Landlord. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the
transferee of such interest in the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE XV
TERMINATION
15.1 Surrender of the Leased Premises. Immediately prior to the Expiration Date or
upon the earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Tenant’s Trade Fixtures and
other personal property and vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same
condition as existed at the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises with all interior walls
cleaned, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, all HVAC equipment within the Leased Premises in
operating order and in good repair, and all floors cleaned, all to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord. If Landlord
-27-
so
requests, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, remove any Leasehold Improvements not constructed or installed in
compliance with Paragraph 5.1 hereof designated by Landlord, and repair all damage caused by such
removal. If the Leased Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Leased Premises to
the required condition, plus interest, from the date of demand for payment of such costs to the
date paid, on all costs incurred at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (or the maximum
rate allowed by law if such rate is less than 15% per annum). Tenant shall indemnify Landlord
against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises,
including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or losses to Landlord due
to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.
15.2 Holding Over. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Lease or duly
extended pursuant to Paragraph 16.10 hereof, this Lease shall terminate without further notice on
the Expiration Date. Any holding over by Tenant after termination of the Lease shall not constitute
a renewal or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except
as expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the consent of
Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions
herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an
amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Monthly Rent required during the last month
prior to such termination.
ARTICLE XVI

16.2 Landlord’s Right To Enter. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter

leases, mortgages, charges and deeds of trust which affect the Leased Premises and are of public
record as of the Commencement Date, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
supplements, replacements and extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such lease or
any Lender holding such mortgage, charge or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or
requires this Lease to be prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to
Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments
which Landlord or such lessor or Lender deems necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior
thereto. At Landlord’s election, this Lease shall become and thereafter remain subject and
subordinate to any and all future mortgages, charges or deeds of trust affecting the Leased
Premises which may hereafter be executed and placed of public record after the Commencement Date,
or any renewals, modifications, consolidations, supplements, replacements or extensions thereof,
for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or
character of such advances, so long as the Lender holding the security instrument to which this
Lease is to be subordinated agrees that it will recognize Tenant’s rights under this Lease and not
disturb its quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.
Tenant agrees, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or
such Lender as may be reasonably necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to
any such mortgage, charge or deed of trust; provided that such documents and instruments shall not
impose upon Tenant obligations other than those set forth in this Lease and further provided that
Tenant has received or contemporaneously receives a written document in form and
-30-
substance reasonably sufficient to evidence such Lender’s agreement to recognize Tenant’s
rights as above provided.
16.4 Tenant’s Attornment. Tenant shall attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Leased
Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument
encumbering the Leased Premises, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in
lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease in effect on the date
hereof should such ground lease be terminated.
16.5
Estoppel Certificates. At all times during the Lease term, Tenant agrees,

certificate (or other response to Landlord’s request therefor, if such certificate cannot
practicably be given) within ten (10) business days after delivery of Landlord’s request therefor
(unless such request was not actually received by Tenant) shall be a conclusive admission by Tenant
that, as of the date of the request for such statement, (i) this Lease is unmodified except as may
be represented by Landlord in said request and is in full force and effect, (ii) there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid in advance.

substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil
commotion, fire or other acts of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party
obligated to perform (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance, for a period equal
to the period of any said prevention, delay or stoppage, of any obligation hereunder except the
obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other sums due hereunder.
-31-
16.7 Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this Lease shall be in

Lease, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Lease Term for three (3) successive periods of
five (5) years each (each such period

is herein referred to as an “Extension Period”). Tenant may exercise its option with respect to the
first extension period by written notice to the Landlord given not later than nine (9) months prior

the payment of real estate brokerage commissions or finder’s fees which would be earned or due and
payable by reason of the execution of this Lease.
16.13 Termination by Exercise of Option. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to its
terms by the proper exercise of an option to terminate specifically granted to Landlord or Tenant
by this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate fifteen (15) days after the date the option to
terminate is properly exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of the Lease
creating the option, in which event the date so specified for termination shall prevail), the rent
and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of termination, and neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or
-33-
obligations under this Lease except for those that have accrued prior to the date of termination
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1 hereof, Tenant acknowledges that it shall
have no right to terminate this Lease, nor any right to an abatement of rent, by reason of
any act or omission by Landlord, Tenant’s sole remedy for such act or omission being damages or
injunctive relief.
16.14 Guaranty. Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be guaranteed by Palco
Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (“Palco” or the “Guarantor”), pursuant to an Amended
and Restated Continuing Lease Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) of even date herewith attached as Exhibit C
hereto. Tenant shall cause Guarantor to execute and deliver the Guaranty to Landlord on the date
hereof. The Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect during the entire Lease Term
irrespective of any transfer or assignment of this Lease or any interest of Tenant therein or in
the Leased Premises.

execute, acknowledge and file for recordation a memorandum of this Lease substantially in the form
of Exhibit D attached hereto.
16.16 Entire Agreement, Supersession. This Lease, the Exhibits attached to this Lease
(which by this reference are incorporated herein), and the Guaranty are the entire agreement
between the parties respecting the Leased Premises. Except as otherwise provided in any addendum or
amendment to this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agent(s) has made
any representation or warranty as to (i) whether the Leased Premises may be used for Tenant’s
intended use under existing Law or

of any improvements located thereon. Tenant expressly waives all claims for damage by reason of any

if any, not contained in this Lease or in any addendum or amendment hereto. Except as otherwise
provided herein, no subsequent change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing
and signed by the parties hereto. This Lease supersedes and replaces that Industrial Real Property
Lease entered into between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises dated as of June
6, 1988.
16.17 Miscellaneous. Should any provision of this Lease prove to be invalid or
illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other
provision hereof, and such remaining provisions
-34-
shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
every provision of this Lease. The captions used in this Lease are for convenience only and shall
not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. Any executed copy
of this Lease shall be deemed an original for all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the
provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors,
administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire. The language in all parts of this Lease

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CONTINUING LEASE GUARANTY
CONTINUING LEASE GUARANTY
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY (this
“Guaranty”), made as of August __ , 1988, by PALCO
ACQUISITION COMPANY (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of NATIONAL WAREHOUSE INVESTMENT
COMPANY, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”),
WITNESSETH:
Whereas Guarantor executed that Continuing Lease Guarantee for the benefit of Landlord
dated as of June 6, 1988; and
Whereas Guarantor wishes to amend and restate its obligations as Guarantor and
Landlord wishes to agree to such amendment and restatement:
Now, Therefore:
1. For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, and to induce Landlord to
enter into that certain Amended and Restated Industrial Real Property Lease of even date herewith
(the “Lease”) between Landlord, as landlord, and Thermal Dynamics Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“Tenant”), as tenant, relating to certain premises commonly known as Xxxxxxx Street,
West Lebanon, New Hampshire, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to Landlord, and agrees fully to pay, perform and discharge, as and when payment,
performance and discharge are due, all of the covenants, obligations and liabilities of Tenant
under the Lease and all written amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, supplements,
substitutions and replacements of the Lease (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The obligations of
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall continue
and remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid,
performed and discharged.
2. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected, modified or
impaired by the occurrence of any of the following events, whether or not with notice to, or the
consent of, Guarantor: (a) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or termination of
any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) the failure to give notice to Guarantor of the
occurrence of an event of default under the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the extension of the time
for the payment, performance or discharge of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) the
W. Lebanon, NH(1)
-1-
amendment or modification (whether material or otherwise) of the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations in any respect (provided that, except with Landlord’s consent, no such amendment or
modification entered into after Tenant has assigned the Lease to an unaffiliated third party shall
be binding on Landlord to the extent Landlord’s obligations hereunder would be increased thereby);
(e) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Landlord to enforce, assert or exercise any
right, power or remedy conferred on Landlord under the Lease; (f) the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets,
marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or adjustment of
debts, or other similar proceedings affecting Tenant or Guarantor or any of the assets of either of
them; (g) the release or discharge by operation of law of Tenant from the payment, performance or
discharge of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) the release or discharge by operation of
law of Guarantor from any or all of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty; (i) the
invalidity or unenforceability of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (j) any assignment
of the Lease (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 6 hereof) or any subletting of all or any
portion of the leased premises. Guarantor acknowledges that Landlord would not enter into the Lease
without this Guaranty and that Landlord is relying on this Guaranty.
3. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Guarantor agrees that Landlord shall have the right to proceed against Guarantor
directly and independently of Tenant. A separate action may be brought and prosecuted against
Guarantor whether or not an action is brought against Tenant or Tenant is joined in any such
action. Guarantor authorizes Landlord and Tenant, without notice to, demand of, or consent from
Guarantor and without releasing or affecting Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time
to time to amend, modify, renew, extend, supplement or replace the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise change the terms of the Lease or the Guaranteed Obligations (provided that
no such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, replacement or change which is not in
writing, or which is entered into, without Landlord’s consent, after Tenant has assigned the Lease
to an unaffiliated third party, shall be binding on Guarantor to the extent Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder are increased thereby), to take and hold security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and to
enforce, waive, surrender, impair, compromise or release any such security or any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any person or
W. Lebanon, NH(1)
-2-
entity liable for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall be and remain bound
under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such act or omission by Tenant or Landlord. Guarantor
waives all rights to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant, to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by Landlord, or to pursue any other remedy in Landlord’s power. Landlord shall have
the right to exercise any right or remedy it may have against Tenant or any security held by
Landlord. Guarantor waives all rights, if any, to the benefit of, or to direct the application of,
any security held by Landlord. Guarantor waives any and all defenses it may have to payment or
performance of its obligations hereunder, other than a defense arising out of full payment,
performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation (a) any
defense arising out of any written amendment, modification, renewal, extension or replacement or
other change to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any defense arising out of the absence, impairment
or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against
Tenant or any security held by Landlord, and (c) any defense arising by reason of any disability or
other defense of Tenant or by reason of the cessation or reduction from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of Tenant. The cessation or reduction of the liability of Tenant for any reason other
than full payment, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not release or
affect in any way the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
4. If Tenant becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for
reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision
of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or any other state or federal insolvency law, or if such a petition
is filed against Tenant, or Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, and in
any such proceeding any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated or rejected or any or
all of the Guaranteed Obligations are modified or abrogated, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s
liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in
full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred. This Guaranty shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations
must be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenant,
Guarantor, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.
5. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping Guarantor informed of the
financial condition of Tenant and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of failure to
pay, perform or discharge any of
W. Lebanon, NH(1)
-3-
the Guaranteed Obligations which diligent inquiry would reveal, and Guarantor agrees that Landlord
has no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Landlord regarding such condition or any
such circumstance. Guarantor acknowledges that repeated and successive demands may be made and
payments or performance made hereunder in response to such demands as and when, from time to time,
Tenant defaults in the payment, performance or discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Notwithstanding any such payments and performance hereunder, this Guaranty shall remain in full
force and effect and shall apply to any and all subsequent defaults by Tenant. It is not necessary
for Landlord to inquire into the capacity, authority or powers of Tenant or the partners,
directors, officers, employees or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Tenant, and all
of the Guaranteed Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the purported exercise of
such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. Guarantor hereby subordinates all indebtedness of Tenant
to Guarantor now or hereafter held by Guarantor to all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord.
6. Guarantor will cause Tenant to maintain and preserve the enforceability of the Lease as the
same may be modified and will not permit the Tenant to take or to fail to take actions of any kind,
the taking of which or the failure to take which would give rise to a defense to Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder other than a defense based upon termination of this Guaranty in accordance
with paragraph 7 hereof. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees that the representations and
warranties made by Tenant in the Lease are true and correct as of the date hereof.
7. This Guaranty shall terminate prior to the full payment, performance and discharge of all
of the Guaranteed Obligations if, but only if, (a) without violating any of the terms and
conditions of Section 14.1 of the Lease, all of the Tenant’s rights, title and interests in, to and
under the Lease are assigned to, and assumed by, an assignee whose Average Annual Cash Flow (as
defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) for the three calendar years prior to the calendar year
during which such assignment becomes effective was not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Average Annual Cash Flow of Tenant and Guarantor, determined on a consolidated basis, during
the period determined as provided on Exhibit A, and (b) Tenant and/or such assignee shall provide
to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence that the condition in subparagraph (a) above is
satisfied. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Landlord shall promptly execute and
deliver to Guarantor a document reasonably satisfactory to Guarantor confirming the termination of
