ARTICLE 4
TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
Section 4.1 REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Landlord is responsible
for and shall timely pay all Real Property Taxes (as defined hereinbelow) and
assessments relative to the Complex of which the Premises form a part. Upon
information and belief, Landlord represents that the sewer usage fee is included
in the Real Property Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as additional rent
hereunder, Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's Proportionate Share of Real
Property Taxes (as such term is defined hereinbelow) and governmental
assessments (whether special, for improvements, or otherwise, levied or assessed
against the Complex). Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the date Real Property Taxes and assessments are due, an
invoice for Tenant's
2
Proportionate Share thereof, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord such
Proportionate Share no later than ten (10) days before same becomes due.
Section 4.2 DEFINITION. The term "Real Property Taxes" means all real
estate taxes currently in existence on the Complex, which upon information and
belief, Landlord represents to be in the current amount of $172,249 for the 2000
tax year, together with any and all such real estate taxes which shall be
levied, assessed, imposed, become due and payable, or become a lien upon, or
arise in connection with the use, occupancy or possession of, the land or
building thereunder, whether general, special ordinary or extraordinary, seen or
unforeseen. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to include
municipal, state or federal income taxes; corporate franchise taxes; estate,
inheritance transfer or legacy taxes; or other municipal, state or federal
succession or gift taxes imposed upon the Landlord; or any transfer taxes,
mortgage taxes, deed stamps or recording taxes; provided, however, that, if at
any time during the Term, or any Renewal Term, the method of taxation prevailing
at the Commencement Date shall be altered so that in lieu of the whole or any
part of the Real Property Taxes, as hereinabove defined, there shall be levied,
assessed or imposed any franchise, rental, capital stock, use and occupancy or
other tax against Landlord or any owner of the building or the land thereunder
specifically in lieu of Real Property Taxes, such tax shall be included in the
term "Real Property Taxes" for the purposes of this Lease, to the extent that
such tax would be payable if the Complex were the sole commercial real estate
owned by the Landlord subject to such tax and provided further, that no such
levy, assessment or imposition shall be deemed to be "in lieu of Real Property
Taxes" unless same are levied, assessed or imposed on only owners of fee
interests in real property.
Section 4.3 APPORTIONMENT DURING FIRST AND LAST YEAR OF TERM. The
amount of Real Property Taxes and assessments payable by Tenant during any
partial calendar year during the Term shall be apportioned between Landlord and
Tenant in accordance with the portion of the tax year within the Term or Renewal
Term and shall be based upon the Real Property Taxes and assessments payable for
the entire year in question.
Section 4.4 RIGHT TO CONTEST. Landlord and Tenant agree that in the
event that either party determines that any tax or assessment placed against the
Premises or the Complex is excessive both parties shall consider a protest or
contest of the validity or amount thereof, and, provided that the parties,
acting reasonably, determine to conduct such protest or contest, the cost
thereof shall be borne equally by the parties. Landlord and Tenant agree that
each shall cooperate in any such protest or contest and shall execute such
documents as may be reasonably required in connection therewith. Pending the
determination of any such protest or contest, Landlord and Tenant shall each
continue to pay, as and when same become due, Real Property Taxes and
assessments and Tenant's Proportionate Share of same, respectively, levied. Upon
the final determination of any such protest or contest, Tenant shall be
responsible for Tenant's Proportionate Share of the total amount
3
finally levied or assessed against the Complex and shall be entitled to Tenant's
Proportionate Share of any refunds on account of amounts previously paid by
Tenant under the provisions of this Lease.
Section 4.5 TENANT'S RIGHT TO PAY TAXES. In the event Tenant becomes
aware of Landlord's delinquency in the payment of Real Property Taxes and/or
assessments, Tenant may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord
during which period Landlord shall have the opportunity to cure, pay such
amounts whereupon Tenant shall have a right of set-off against future
installments of Basic Rent due Landlord under this Lease equal to the amounts so
paid.
Section 4.6 TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE. For purposes hereof, the
Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be based upon a fraction whose numerator is
the total square feet of the Premises and whose denominator is the total square
feet of space at the Complex. Landlord represents that the Premises consist of
44,787 square feet and that the Complex consists of 71,733 square feet of space,
such that Tenant's Proportionate Share is 62% ("Proportionate Share"). In the
event that the Complex should be expanded such that the amount of space at the
Complex shall be increased, Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be recalculated
using the fraction hereinabove stated.
ARTICLE 5
INSURANCE
Section 5.1 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Throughout the Term and any Renewal
Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense:
(1) obtain and maintain in force Worker's Compensation Insurance
as required by law;
(2) maintain public liability insurance covering the Premises in
minimum limits of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per accident or occurrence
and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) aggregate for personal liability and One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for property damage, which insurance shall name
Landlord and the holder(s) of any mortgage(s) affecting the Premises as
additional insureds thereunder and which insurance shall provide for deductibles
in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and
(3) maintain fire and extended coverage on Tenant's personal
property on the Premises and on any leasehold improvements which may be placed
on or affixed to the Premises by Tenant.
Section 5.2 POLICIES. Tenant shall at all times during the Term and
any Renewal Term maintain in full force and effect and on deposit at Landlord's
office a certificate of insurance or a duplicate original of any insurance
policy required hereunder to be maintained by Tenant, together with evidence of
payment of premium. If Tenant shall default in
4
maintaining such insurance, Landlord may, at its option and without waiving any
of Landlord's rights hereunder or releasing Tenant from any obligation
hereunder, after giving Tenant fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to Tenant
during which period Tenant has failed to cure such default, procure such
insurance, and Tenant shall within ten (10) days of notice, reimburse Landlord,
as additional rent, for the cost thereof.
Section 5.3 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Subject to the provisions herein
below, Landlord shall maintain, at its expense fire and extended coverage
insurance on the Complex, including the Premises, in form and substance
acceptable to Landlord and consistent with standards of reasonably prudent
owners of similar commercial property. Landlord represents that Landlord's
current fire and extended coverage insurance on the Complex is in an amount no
less than the replacement cost therefor and Landlord shall continue throughout
the Term of this Lease, and any Renewal Terms, to maintain insurance coverage in
an amount equal to no less than replacement cost, which insurance shall provide
for such deductibles as a reasonably prudent owner of similar commercial
property would deem appropriate. Landlord may maintain all such insurance
required hereby under a "blanket" policy or policies. All policies shall name
Landlord as the insured, and any mortgagee, as the interest of such mortgagee
may appear.
Section 5.4 TENANT'S USE. Tenant shall only keep such materials and
supplies at the Premises as are within the customary expectations of its
contemplated use for the Premises as set forth herein. Tenant shall not keep
anything in the Premises or the Complex, either in violation of this Lease or as
a result of a permitted change in Tenant's use hereunder except as now or
hereafter permitted by the Fire Department, Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire
Insurance Rating Organization or other authority having jurisdiction
(collectively, the "Fire Authorities"), and then only in such manner and
quantity so as not to increase the premium for Landlord's insurance applicable
at such time or any time thereafter. In the event of a change in the
requirements of the Fire Authorities relative to Tenant's manner of use or of a
change in Tenant's permitted use of the Premises, notwithstanding Landlord's
consent thereto in accordance herewith, Tenant shall comply with any such change
in the requirements of the Fire Authorities and in no such event shall use the
Premises in any manner which will increase the rate for any insurance of the
Complex or any property located therein over that in effect at such time, nor
shall Tenant use or occupy the Premises or suffer or permit the Premises or any
part thereof to be used in any manner which would make void or voidable any
insurance policy then in force with respect to the Complex or any part thereof.
Section 5.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord hereby releases Tenant
from liability for damage or destruction to the land and improvements in the
Complex, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from liability for damage or
destruction to any of its personal property or leasehold improvements, provided,
however, that such releases shall be in force and effect only in respect of
damage or destruction covered by standard policies of fire insurance with
extended coverage (as maintained by the Tenant
5
and/or Landlord pursuant to this Lease), and such waivers shall be in effect
solely to the extent of proceeds under any said policy. Tenant and Landlord
shall each cause any policies of insurance maintained by it with respect to the
Premises and the personal property contained therein or appurtenant thereto and
with respect to the improvements in the Complex, to contain a waiver by the
insurers of any rights of subrogation. In the event that there is an extra
premium for such waiver, the party benefitted by it shall bear the cost.
ARTICLE 6

have no responsibility to obtain the certificate of occupancy for the other
proposed tenant spaces regardless of whether Tenant undertook renovation work in
such space, nor shall Tenant be responsible to upgrade or renovate other
portions of the Complex, in order to obtain the certificate of occupancy for the
Common Areas. In such event, Landlord shall be required to undertake at its
expense such work. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts not to disrupt utility
services to the other tenants of the Complex in connection with its Renovation
Work and will provide prior notice to the tenants in the event it must disrupt

to in writing by the parties, and except as otherwise set forth herein, any
improvements, alterations and renovations to the Premises by Tenant pursuant to
this Section shall remain on the Premises upon the expiration or earlier

liable for any costs in connection therewith, including costs of removal or
repairs.
Section 10.3 OWNERSHIP OF ALTERATIONS. (a) Except as may be set forth
herein, all fixtures and all paneling, partitions, railings and like
installations, installed in the Premises at any time, either by Tenant or by
Landlord on Tenant's behalf, shall become the property of Landlord and shall
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises. Nothing in this Article shall
be construed to prevent Tenant's removal of trade fixtures, equipment or
moveable office furniture but upon removal of any such items from the Premises,
or upon removal of other installations as may be permitted by Landlord, Tenant
shall at its expense, repair and restore the Premises to the condition existing
prior to installation, and shall repair any damage to the Premises due to such
removal.
9
(b) Landlord acknowledges that as part of the Renovation Work, Tenant will
be decorating the Conference Rooms with furniture and artwork (collectively the

Renewal Terms of this Lease to be owned by Tenant. Landlord shall provide notice
to each tenant of the Complex of Tenant's ownership of the Furniture and shall
require each tenant in its lease to covenant that it shall use its best
reasonable efforts to take good care of the Furniture. Upon expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, in its
discretion, to remove the Furniture from the Conference/Meeting Rooms.

Landlord's work to repair or replace. In the event Landlord fails to make any
repair or replacement which Landlord is obligated to do under this Article,
after receipt of notice from Tenant and a reasonable opportunity to cure, not to
exceed fifteen (15) days, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset such amounts
from its future Basic Rent payments, until such time as the repair or
replacement, as applicable, shall be substantially completed, which set-off
shall be apportioned from the sixteenth day after notice of the necessity of the
repair or replacement based upon the amount of square footage of the Premises
which is unusable to the entire Premises. If Landlord fails to proceed with due
diligence to complete any repairs or replacements required to be made, the same
may be completed by Tenant at its option and at the expense of Landlord.
Landlord shall pay such amount to Tenant within fifteen (15) days of demand by
Tenant. In the event Landlord fails to timely make such payment, Tenant may
offset such amounts from its future Basic Rent payments under this Lease until
such amount is fully reimbursed to Tenant.
(b) Tenant shall be responsible for all general routine maintenance
repairs to the Premises. Tenant shall take good care of the Premises and the
fixtures, appurtenances, and systems in the Premises. Tenant shall also repair
all damage to the Premises caused by the moving of Tenant's fixtures, furniture
or equipment. All the aforesaid repairs shall be of quality or class at least
equal to that existing immediately prior to the damage requiring repair. If
Tenant fails, after thirty (30) days' prior written notice, to proceed to make
repairs required to be made by Tenant, the same may be made by Landlord, at
Landlord's option, at the expense of Tenant, and the reasonable expenses thereof
incurred by Landlord, shall be collectible as additional rent within fifteen
(15) days of written demand therefor.
Section 11.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
(1) Landlord represents that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, the Premises is in compliance with all requirements of all applicable
governmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, ordinances or other directives or
applicable codes of any nature of all federal, state, county and municipal
authorities (collectively, the "Laws") and of Fire Authorities.
(2) Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly comply with all
Laws currently in effect and hereafter enacted governing Tenant's particular
manner of use at the Premises (provided however, that such compliance shall not
require repairs, installations or additions to the Premises not necessitated by
Tenant's particular manner of use).
ARTICLE 12

the following sentence, if the Premises are partially damaged or rendered
partially unusable by fire or other casualty, the damages thereto shall be
repaired by Landlord with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays beyond
Landlord's reasonable control. If Landlord, in its exercise of reasonable
business judgment, determines that insurance proceeds on account of the damage

the repairs and restorations with all reasonable expedition subject to delays
beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect subject to the provisions of Section 12.4. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, in the event that at the time of such damage
there shall be less than six months remaining in the Term or any Renewal Term or
if the restoration shall be reasonably estimated to take in excess of six (6)
months to complete, Tenant shall have the option, upon prior written notice to
the Landlord as provided in Article 14 hereof, to terminate this Lease.
Section 12.4 ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of any repair of the

agency holding the power of eminent domain under applicable law shall at any
time during the Term condemn, or acquire title in lieu of condemnation of in

shall pay rent only to the time of such vesting of title.
Section 13.2 PARTIAL TAKING.
If there shall be a partial taking or condemnation affecting in excess of

Premises is a part, and which shall not, in Tenant's reasonable opinion,
substantially prevent Tenant's use of the Premises for purposes of its business,
and if the then applicable zoning and other laws permit restoration of the
untaken part of the Premises, this Lease shall thereafter continue as to the
untaken part and Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in the Basic Rent in an
amount which bears the same ratio to the Basic Rent payable immediately prior to
such condemnation pursuant to this Lease as the value of the untaken portion of
the Premises (appraised after the taking and repair of any damage to the
Premises pursuant to the terms hereof) bears to the value of the entire Premises
immediately before the taking as well as a reduction in Tenant's Proportionate
Share of items of additional rent. If such laws shall not permit restoration
and/or if such award or proceeds shall be insufficient for purposes of
restoration of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease upon written notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days of the taking,
which notice shall specify a date for expiration of this Lease not more than
sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. Upon such date specified, this
Lease and the Term shall be terminated, to the same effect as if notice of
termination were given by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.3 hereinabove.

at the time of such partial undertaking there shall be less than six months

reasonably estimated to take in excess of six (6) months to complete, Tenant
shall have the option, upon prior written notice to the Landlord as provided in
Article 14 hereof, to terminate this Lease.

claim against the condemning authority as the law may allow with respect to
Tenant's moving expenses, relocation expenses, improvements,
actual direct losses in tangible personal property and the like.

offer from a third person for the purchase of the Complex,
which offer Landlord shall desire to accept, Landlord shall promptly deliver to
Tenant a copy of such offer, and Tenant may, within fifteen (15) business days
thereafter, elect to purchase the Complex on the same terms as those set forth

brokerage commission, if any, which Landlord shall save by a sale to Tenant; and
(ii) the portion of the Renovation Costs incurred by Tenant and considered to be
capital improvements of the building, as set forth on EXHIBIT B. If Landlord
shall receive an offer for the purchase of the Complex, which is not consummated
by delivering a deed to the offeror, the Tenant's right of first refusal shall
remain applicable to subsequent offers. If Landlord shall sell the Complex after
a failure of Tenant to exercise its right of first refusal such sale shall be
subject to this Lease, and the right of first refusal shall continue and shall
be applicable to subsequent sales of the Complex. If any acceptable third party
offer to Landlord for the Complex shall include other property, Tenant's right
of first refusal shall, at Tenant's election, be either: (a) applicable to the
entire property covered by such offer; or (b) applicable to the Complex alone,
at a purchase price which shall be that part of the price, offered by the third
person, which the value of the Complex shall bear to the value of all the
property included in such third party offer.
If the Complex shall be conveyed to the Tenant under this right of first
refusal, any prepaid rent shall be apportioned and applied on account of the
purchase price. If any acceptable third party offer to Landlord shall be for
part of the Complex, Tenant may elect that: (i) Tenant's right of first refusal
shall be applicable thereto (except that the amount of rent to be apportioned,
as required by the immediately preceding paragraph, shall be reduced to the
fraction thereof which said part of the Complex shall bear to the whole
thereof); or (ii) Tenant may purchase the Complex at a purchase price computed
by applying to the entire Complex the rate applicable to the part thereof
included in said third party offer; or (iii) Tenant may abstain from exercising
its right of refusal, in which event Landlord's conveyance of part of the
Complex shall be without effect on either this Lease or Tenant's right of
refusal.
Section 20.2 SALE OF COMPLEX TO A THIRD PERSON - RENOVATION COST. If
Landlord shall sell the Complex, or a portion thereof, to a third party, after a
failure of Tenant to exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to this

Tenant an amount equal to the portion of the Renovation Costs considered to be
capital improvements of the building, as set forth on EXHIBIT B, relative to the
remaining term of this eight year Lease (i.e., one eighth of the portion of the
Renovation Costs considered to be capital improvements of the building,, as set

reserved hereunder, for the period which would otherwise have constituted the
unexpired portion of the then current Term, over the then present rental value
of the Premises for such unexpired portion of the then current Term
