unless Tenant takes written exception to any item within ninety (90) days after
the furnishing of the statement, such statement shall be considered as final and
accepted by Tenant; if Tenant shall dispute any item or items included in the
determination of Landlord's Project Expenses and Building Expenses for a given
calendar year, and such dispute is not resolved by the parties hereto within

Landlord's Project Expenses and Building Expenses for such year; and the opinion
of such firm on the matter shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties
hereto; the fees and expenses incurred in obtaining such an opinion shall be
borne by Tenant unless Landlord's statement contains errors aggregating more
than five percent (5%) of the Project Expenses and Building Expenses.

shall not be removed or disabled by Tenant). If Landlord so notifies Tenant to
remove any or all of such items, and Tenant fails to remove the same upon the

substantially destroyed (which, as used herein, means destruction or damage to
at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises), or rendered wholly
untenantable for the purpose for which they were leased, by fire or other
casualty whether or not the Conference Center is substantially destroyed as

(1) Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease or to require
that the Premises be reconstructed and restored, at Landlord's expense, to
substantially the same condition as the Premises existed prior to the casualty,
except for repair or replacement of Tenant's Improvements, Tenant's personal
property, equipment and trade fixtures, which shall remain Tenant's
responsibility. In the event that Tenant requires that the Premises be
reconstructed and restored, Landlord shall not be required to expend for
reconstruction and restoration any amount in excess of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord as a result of such casualty loss. This option shall be
exercised by Tenant giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days
after the date of the casualty, and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect for the balance of the Term upon the same terms, conditions and covenants
as are contained herein. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably abated
as of the date of such casualty.
(2) If the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12)
months of the Term, either party shall have the right and option to terminate
its Lease as of the date of the casualty, which option shall be exercised by
written notice to be given by either party to the other party within thirty (30)
days therefrom. If this option is exercised, rent shall be apportioned to and
shall cease as of the date of the casualty.
(c) Partial Destruction of the Premises.
(1) If the Premises are rendered partially untenantable
for the purpose for which they were leased (which, as used herein, means the
Premises are less than substantially destroyed, as defined in Section 11(b)
above) by fire or other casualty, then such damaged part of the Premises shall
be reconstructed and restored, at Landlord's expense, to substantially the same
condition as it was prior to the casualty, except for repair or replacement of
Tenant's Improvements, Tenant's personal property, equipment and trade fixtures,
which shall remain Tenant's responsibility. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall
be equitably abated as of the date of such casualty in proportion to the ratio
between the number of square feet which is untenantable compared to the
aggregate number of square feet comprising the Premises. Landlord shall use
reasonable diligence in completing such reconstruction repairs, but in the event
Landlord fails to complete the same within one hundred twenty (120) days from
the date of the casualty, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease upon
giving Landlord written notice to that effect, whereupon both parties shall be
released from all further obligations and liability hereunder.
-11-
12
(2) If the casualty occurs during the last six (6) months
of the Term, either party shall have the right and option to terminate its Lease
as of the date of the casualty, which option shall be exercised by written
notice to be given by either party to the other party within thirty (30) days
therefrom. If this option is exercised, rent shall be apportioned to and shall
cease as of the date of the casualty.
(d) Casualty Insurance.
(1) Landlord shall at all times during the Term, carry, as
a Project Expense, a "Special Forms and Extended Perils" property insurance
policy insuring the Project, including the Conference Center, against loss or
damage by fire or other casualty (namely, the perils against which insurance is
afforded by the standard fire insurance policy and extended coverage
endorsement) for the full replacement cost thereof; provided, however, that
Landlord shall not be obligated to insure against any loss or damage to personal
property (including, but not limited to, any furniture, machinery, equipment,
goods or supplies) of Tenant or which Tenant may have on the Premises or any
trade fixtures installed by or paid for by Tenant on the Premises or any
additional improvements which Tenant may have constructed within the Premises.
Such policy shall provide coverage against physical loss, damage and theft and
the perils of fire and extended coverage, including, without limitation, theft,
vandalism, malicious mischief, explosion, collapse and underground hazards,
sprinkler leakage, water damage, storms, subsidence, sinkhole collapse,
landslide, and debris removal. Such property insurance must be from insurance
companies rated at least A:X in the latest Best's Insurance Guide. Upon request,
Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a certificate evidencing the existence of such
insurance coverage and endorsements to such coverage. If changes to Tenant's use
or operation on the Premises, or any alterations or improvements made by Tenant
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10(c) hereof result in an increase in the
premiums charged during the Term on the casualty insurance carried by Landlord
on the Project, then the cost of such increase in insurance premiums shall be
borne by Tenant, who shall reimburse Landlord for the same as additional rent
after being billed therefor. If changes to Landlord's use or operation within
Project, or any alterations or improvements made by Landlord (and not on
Tenant's behalf) result in an increase in the premiums charged during the Term
on the casualty insurance carried by Landlord on the Project, then the cost of
such increase in insurance premiums shall be borne by Landlord, and said
increase shall be excluded from Project Expenses for purposes of this Lease.
(2) Tenant shall at all times during the Term, carry, at
its own expense, property insurance covering its personal property and trade
fixtures installed by or paid for by Tenant or any additional improvements which
Tenant may construct on the Premises, which coverage shall be no less than
replacement value. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate evidencing
that such coverages are in full force and effect. Such coverages shall not be
canceled or amended on less than thirty (30) days notice to Landlord.
(e) Waiver of Subrogation. This Section 11(e) shall govern any
contrary or inconsistent provisions of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby
release, and shall cause their respective insurance companies to waive all
rights of recovery against, each other and each other's employees, agents,
customers and invitees from any and all liability for any loss, damage or injury
to property occurring in, on or about or to the Premises or Project,
improvements to the
-12-
13
Project or personal property within the Project, by reason of fire or other
casualty which are covered by applicable standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policies.
12.) GENERAL PUBLIC LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
(a) At all times during the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall each
carry, at its own expense, for the protection of the other party, one or more
policies of general liability insurance with one or more insurance companies
rated A:X or better in Best's Insurance Guide, providing minimum coverages of
$2,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage per
occurrence and location with $5,000,000 aggregate coverage. Such general
liability insurance shall include a separation of insureds/cross liability
endorsement, broad form property damage coverage and afford coverage for
"personal injury" liability. At all times during the Term, Landlord and Tenant
shall each carry comprehensive automobile liability insurance covering all
owned, non-owned and hired automobiles, with limits of not less than $1,000,000
in primary coverage per accident for both bodily injury and property damage
liability. All such insurance policy or policies shall name the other party as
additional insureds and shall provide that they may not be canceled or
materially changed on less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
other party. Each party shall furnish the other with certificates of insurance
evidencing such coverages prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the date
of renewal. Should any party fail to carry such insurance and/or furnish to the
other party within ten (10) days following such other party's request a
certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage, such other party shall have
the right to obtain such insurance and collect the cost thereof from the
non-performing party, in which event the non-performing party shall reimburse
such other party for the cost of such coverage within thirty (30) days following
such other party's written demand therefor. Each party shall also provide the
other with certificates evidencing workers' compensation insurance coverage as
required by law and employer's liability coverage for injury, disease and death,
with coverage limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident. The insurance
coverages required hereby shall be deemed to be additional obligations of each
party and shall not be a discharge or limitation of such party's indemnity
obligations contained hereinbelow.
(b) Except for any loss, damage, or injury to person or property
caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents,
employees, contractors, invitees or guests, Tenant shall be responsible for,
shall insure against, and shall indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from,
any and all liability for any loss, damage or injury to person or property,
arising out of use, occupancy or operations of Tenant and occurring in, on or
about the Project, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all
liability for the same. Tenant's obligation to indemnify Landlord hereunder
shall include the duty to defend against any claims asserted by reason of such
loss, damage or injury and to pay any judgments, settlements, costs, fees and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith. Landlord
shall give prompt written notice to Tenant of the occurrence of any loss,
damage, or injury to which Tenant's duty to indemnify and hold harmless the
Landlord may pertain and Tenant shall have the right to defend any claim
asserted by any party with respect to such loss, damage, or injury through
counsel of Tenant's selection.
(c) Except for any loss, damage, or injury to person or property
caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or its agents,
employees, contractors, invitees or
-13-
14
guests, Landlord shall be responsible for, shall insure against, and shall
indemnify Tenant and hold it harmless from, any and all liability for any loss,
damage or injury to person or property occurring in, on or about the common
areas and facilities for the Project and the use, occupancy or operations of
Landlord and occurring in, on or about any portion of the Project, and Landlord
hereby releases Tenant from any and all liability for the same. Landlord's
obligation to indemnify Tenant shall include the duty to defend against any
claims asserted by reason of such loss, damage or injury and to pay any
judgments, settlements, costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection therewith. Tenant shall give prompt written notice to
Landlord of the occurrence of any loss, damage, or injury to which Landlord's
duty to indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant may pertain and Landlord shall
have the right to defend any claim asserted by any party with respect to such
loss, damage, or injury through counsel of Landlord's selection.
13.) EMINENT DOMAIN
If the whole or any part of the Premises or Project (including
parking areas) shall be taken for public or quasipublic use by a governmental
authority under the power of eminent domain or shall be conveyed to a
governmental authority in lieu of such taking, and if such taking or conveyance
shall cause the remaining part of the Premises to be untenantable and inadequate
for use by Tenant for the purpose for which they were leased, then Tenant may,
at its option, terminate this Lease as of the date Tenant is required to
surrender possession of the Premises as a result of such taking. If a part of
the Premises or Project shall be taken or conveyed but the remaining part is
tenantable and adequate for Tenant's use, then this Lease shall be terminated as
to the part taken or conveyed as of the date Tenant surrenders possession;
Landlord shall make such repairs, alterations and improvements as may be
necessary to render the part not taken or conveyed tenantable; and the rent
shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the Premises so taken or conveyed.
Tenant shall not have the right to assert a claim against the governmental
authority exercising its power of eminent domain based upon the value of
Tenant's leasehold interest. All compensation awarded for such taking or
conveyance shall be the property of Landlord without any deduction therefrom for
any present or future estate of Tenant and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all
its right, title and interest in and to any such award. However, Tenant shall
have the right to recover from the governmental authority, but not from
Landlord, such compensation as may be awarded to Tenant on account of the
interruption of Tenant's business, moving and relocation expenses and
depreciation to and removal of Tenant's trade fixtures and personal property.
14.) LIENS
If, because of any act or omission of Tenant or anyone claiming
by, through, or under Tenant (other than Landlord), any mechanic's lien or other
lien shall be filed against the Premises or the Project for work performed by or
on behalf of Tenant (whether or not such lien is valid or enforceable as such),
Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause the same to be discharged of record
within a reasonable time, not to exceed sixty (60) days after the date of filing
thereof, and shall also defend and indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from
any and all claims, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, cost and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, resulting therefrom or by reason thereof. If such
lien is not discharged of record within sixty (60) days
-14-
15
after the date of filing thereof, Landlord, at its sole option, may take all
action necessary to release and remove such lien (without any duty to
investigate the validity thereof) and Tenant shall promptly upon notice
reimburse Landlord for all sums, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and Landlord's Costs) incurred by Landlord in connection with
such lien.
15.) RENTAL, PERSONAL PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES
(a) Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes,
assessments, fees or charges (hereinafter referred to as "taxes"), including any
sales, gross income, rental, business occupation or other taxes, levied or
imposed upon Tenant's business operation in the Premises and any personal
property or similar taxes levied or imposed upon Tenant's trade fixtures,
leasehold improvements or personal property located within the Premises. In the
event any such taxes are charged to the account of, or are levied or imposed
upon the property of Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the same as
additional rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to
contest in good faith any such tax and to defer payment, if required, until
after Tenant's liability therefor is finally determined, provided Tenant
furnishes Landlord with reasonably acceptable security from which may be
satisfied any judgment arising from such taxes.
(b) If any tenant improvements made by Tenant during the Term or
any of Tenant's trade fixtures or equipment located in, on or about the
Premises, regardless of whether they are installed or paid for by Landlord or
Tenant and whether or not they are affixed to and become a part of the realty
and the property of Landlord, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a
valuation higher than that at which other such property in other space in the
Project is assessed, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for
the amount of real property taxes shown on the appropriate county official's
records as having been levied upon the Project or other property of Landlord by
reason of such excess assessed valuation.
16.) ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant may not assign or otherwise transfer its interest in this
Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse in its sole discretion. Tenant
shall notify Landlord thirty (30) days in advance of its intent to transfer,
assign or sublet all or any portion of the Premises and shall, at the time
Tenant requests Landlord's approval, provide Landlord with financial information
on the proposed assignee or subtenant. In any event, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for fees and expenses incurred by Landlord (including expert and
attorneys' fees) in reviewing any proposed assignment or subletting. In the
event of any such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall nevertheless at all
times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of rent and the
performance and observance of all of Tenant's other obligations under the terms,
conditions and covenants of this Lease. No assignment or subletting of the
Premises or any part thereof shall be binding upon Landlord unless such assignee
or subtenant delivers to Landlord an instrument (in recordable form, if
requested) containing an agreement of assumption of all of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an event of default after the
expiration of any applicable notice and cure period herein, if all or any part
of the Premises are then assigned
-15-
16
or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or
by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all
rent becoming due to Landlord by reason of the assignment or subletting. Any
collection by Landlord from the assignee or subtenant shall not be construed to
constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of its
obligations under this Lease. Any rents received by Tenant from the assignment
or subletting of the Premises which exceed rents payable by Tenant hereunder
shall be immediately paid to Landlord as additional compensation. Landlord
shall, at its option, have the right to recapture all or any part of the
Premises Tenant proposes to assign or sublet upon notice from Tenant of its
intent to assign or such sublet part of the Premises. Notwithstanding the
preceding to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, to transfer or assign the Lease or sublet the
Premises to any entity controlling, controlled by or under the common control of
Tenant or in connection with a sale of stock, merger or sale of substantially
all of the assets of Tenant.
17.) SUBORDINATION OF LEASE TO MORTGAGES
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage or similar
encumbrances, including ground or underlying leases, whether presently existing
or hereafter voluntarily placed upon the Project or the Premises, including any
renewals, extensions or modifications thereof, provided that, with respect to
any such encumbrances hereafter placed on the Project or Premises, the holder of
such encumbrance enters into a non-disturbance and attornment agreement with
Tenant in a customary form, including, among other provisions, an agreement that
Tenant's possession of the Premises will not be disturbed in the event of
mortgage foreclosure or other similar exercise of remedies, so long as Tenant is
not in default hereunder after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure
periods. Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, execute and deliver within ten
(10) days to Landlord, without cost, a subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement for purposes of confirming the subordination of this Lease.
18.) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
(a) Default by Tenant. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall be a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(1) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent
within ten (10) days after it is due or shall fail to pay any Project Expenses,
Building Expenses, Taxes or additional rent within ten (10) days after written
notice that the same is past due;
(2) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other
term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by
it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant
or obligation to be performed by Tenant is of such nature that the same cannot
reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, such default shall
be deemed to have been cured if Tenant commences such performance within said
thirty day period and thereafter diligently completes the same;
(3) Tenant shall abandon the Premises; or
-16-
17
(4) Tenant declares bankruptcy, is declared bankrupt,
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or substantially all of
Tenant's assets in, on or about the Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease
are attached or levied upon under execution (and Tenant does not discharge the
same within sixty (60) days thereafter).
(b) Remedies of Landlord. Upon the occurrence of any event of
default set forth in Section 18(a) hereof, Landlord shall have the following
rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law, any one or more of
which may be exercised without further notice to or demand upon Tenant:
(1) Landlord may reenter the Premises and cure any default
of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for
any costs and expenses which Landlord may incur to cure such default.
(2) Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date of
such default, in which event: (A) neither Tenant nor any person claiming under
or through Tenant shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the Premises,
and Tenant shall immediately thereafter surrender the Premises to Landlord; (B)
Landlord may reenter the Premises and dispossess Tenant or any other occupants
of the Premises by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove
their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have for
possession or arrearages in rent; and (C) notwithstanding the termination of
this Lease, Landlord may relet all or any part of the Premises for a term
different from that which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the
Term and for rent and on terms and conditions different from those contained
herein, whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord as liquidated
damages the difference between the rent provided for herein and that provided
for in any lease covering a subsequent reletting of the Premises, for the period
which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, together with
all of Landlord's costs and expenses for preparing the Premises, for reletting,
including all repairs, tenant finish improvements, marketing costs, broker's and
attorney's fees, and all loss or damage which Landlord may sustain by reason of
such termination, reentry and reletting, it being expressly understood and
agreed that the liabilities and remedies specified above shall survive the
termination of this Lease.
(3) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession of
the Premises and may repossess the Premises by unlawful detainer action, by
taking peaceful possession or otherwise, without terminating this Lease, in
which event Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the same
for the account of Tenant, for such rent and upon such terms as shall be
satisfactory to Landlord. For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord is
authorized to decorate, repair, remodel or alter the Premises. If Landlord fails
to so relet the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to
the rent which would have been due under this Lease for the balance of the Term
or exercised renewal period as such rent shall become due and payable hereunder
from time to time during the Term. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient
sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of the costs and
expenses of all decoration, repairs, remodeling, alterations and additions and
the expenses of such reletting and of the collection of the rent accruing
therefrom to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall satisfy
and pay the same upon demand therefor from time to time.
-17-
18
Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents received by Landlord in excess of the
rent provided for in this Lease.
(4) Landlord may xxx for injunctive relief or to recover
damages for any loss resulting from the breach.
Any agreement for an extension of the Term or any additional period
thereafter shall not thereby prevent Landlord from terminating this Lease for
any reason specified in this Lease. If any such right of termination is
exercised by Landlord during the Term or any extension thereof, Tenant's right
to any further extension shall thereby be automatically canceled. Any such right
of termination of Landlord contained herein shall continue during the Term and
any subsequent extension hereof.
(c) Default by Landlord and Remedies of Tenant. It shall be a
default and breach of this Lease by Landlord if it shall fail to perform or
observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or
observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the term, condition,
covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is of such nature that the
same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, such
default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such
performance within said thirtyday period and thereafter diligently completes the
same. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Tenant may xxx for injunctive
relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from the breach, but Tenant
shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or withhold or xxxxx any rent due
hereunder.
(d) NonWaiver of Defaults. The failure or delay by either party
hereto to enforce or exercise at any time any of the rights or remedies or other
provisions of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor
affect the validity of any part of this Lease or the right of either party
thereafter to enforce each and every such right or remedy or other provisions.
No waiver of any default and breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver
of any other default of breach. The receipt of rent by Landlord at a time after
rent is due under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default.
The receipt by Landlord of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to
be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on
Tenant's check or any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other
remedies provided in this Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees
or agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be
valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.
(e) Attorney's Fees. If Tenant defaults in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or obligations contained
in this Lease and Landlord places the enforcement of all or any part of this
Lease, the collection of any rent due or to become due or the recovery of
possession of the Premises in the hands of an attorney, or if Landlord incurs
any fees or out-of-pocket costs in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in
which Tenant causes Landlord (without Landlord's fault) to be involved or
concerned, Tenant agrees to
-18-
19
reimburse Landlord for the attorney's fees and costs incurred thereby, whether
or not suit is actually filed.
19.) BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY
(a) If either party shall file a petition in bankruptcy or for a
reorganization or arrangement or other relief under the United States Bankruptcy
Code or any similar statute, or if any such proceeding shall be filed against
either party and is not dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after its
filing, or if a court having jurisdiction shall issue an order or decree
appointing a receiver, custodian or liquidator for a substantial part of the
property of either party which decree or order remains in force undischarged and
unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days, or if either party shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts as they become due, the other party may terminate this Lease
upon five days written notice.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, neither
party shall be required to accept performance under this Lease from any person,
including, without limitation, owner or manager, as the case may be, should it
become a debtor in possession under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any
trustee of either appointed under the United States Bankruptcy Code and any
assignee of such party or trustee, other than the other party.
20.) ACCESS TO THE PREMISES
Landlord, its employees and agents and any mortgagee of the
Project shall have the right to enter any part of the Premises following at
least twenty-four (24) hours' written notice (except in the event of an
emergency, in which case only such notice as is reasonably possible shall be
required) for the purposes of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same
to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (during the last six months of
the Term) and for making such repairs, alterations or improvements to the
Premises or the Project as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Landlord agrees that
it shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant and
shall use diligent and good faith efforts to preserve all confidentiality of
Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to require that any Landlord or any of its
representatives be accompanied by a representative of Tenant during any such
entry. If (i) Landlord is unable to timely gain access to the Premises due to
Tenant's security or other reasons within Tenant's control, and (ii) Landlord
incurs loss or damage as a result thereof (e.g., damage caused by a ruptured
pipe), then Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days
after demand for any such loss or damage to the extent insurance proceeds are
not recovered by Landlord for the same.
21.) SURRENDER OF PREMISES
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, together with all keys, access cards,
alterations, improvements, and other property as provided elsewhere herein, in
broom clean condition and in good order, condition and repair, except for
ordinary wear and tear, damage created by casualty loss and damage which
-19-
20
Tenant is not obligated to repair. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Premises
to Landlord, Landlord may restore the Premises to such condition at Tenant's
expense, which shall be payable upon demand. Subject to the provisions of
Section 10(e) hereof, upon such expiration or termination Tenant's trade
fixtures, furniture and equipment shall remain Tenant's property, and Tenant
shall have the right to remove the same prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused by any
such removal. Any of Tenant's trade fixtures, furniture or equipment not so
removed shall be considered abandoned and may be retained by Landlord or be
destroyed or disposed of at Tenant's expense.
22.) HOLDING OVER
If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises without the
written consent of Landlord after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to hold the Premises as a tenant at will subject
to all of the terms, conditions, covenants and provisions of this Lease (which
shall be applicable during the holdover period), except that the Base Rent shall
be increased to 125% of the last current Base Rent. Tenant shall vacate and
surrender the Premises to Landlord upon Tenant's receipt of notice from Landlord
to vacate. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without the written
consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise
expressly provided herein.
23.) QUIET ENJOYMENT
If and so long as Tenant pays the prescribed rent and performs or
observes all of the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations of this Lease
required to be performed or observed by it hereunder, Tenant shall at all times
during the term hereof have the peaceable and quiet enjoyment, possession,
occupancy and use of the Premises without any interference from Landlord or any
person or persons claiming the Premises by, through or under Landlord. The
foregoing is subject to the rights of any mortgages, underlying leases or other
matters of record to which this Lease is or may become subject, provided that
any such mortgagees or lessor shall be required to provide Tenant with a
nondisturbance agreement allowing Tenant to remain in the Premises under the
terms of this Lease in the event of a default under the mortgage by Landlord.
24.) NOTICE AND PLACE OF PAYMENT
(a) All rent and other payments required to be made by Tenant to
Landlord shall be delivered or mailed to Landlord' at the address set forth
below or any other address Landlord may specify from time to time by written
notice given to Tenant.
(b) All payments required to be made by Landlord to Tenant shall
be delivered or mailed to Tenant at the address set forth in Section 24(c)
hereof or at any other address within the United States as Tenant may specify
from time to time by written notice given to Landlord.
(c) Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be
given under this Lease or by law shall be deemed to have been given if reduced
to writing and mailed by Registered or Certified mail, postage prepaid, to the
party who is to receive such notice, demand or request at the address set forth
below or at such other address as Landlord or Tenant may
-20-
21
specify from time to time by written notice. When delivering such notice, demand
or request shall be deemed to have been given as of the date it was so
delivered.

25.) MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Payments Deemed Rent. Any amounts of money to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, whether or not such
payments are denominated "rent" or "additional rent" and whether or not they are
to be periodic or recurring, shall be deemed rent or additional rent for
purposes of this Lease; and any failure to pay any of same as provided in
Section 18(a) hereof shall entitle Landlord to exercise all of the rights and
remedies afforded hereby or by law for the collection and enforcement of
Tenant's obligation to pay rent. Tenant's obligation to pay any such rent or
additional rent pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall survive the
expiration or other termination of this Lease and the surrender of possession of
the Premises after any holdover period.
(b) Estoppel Letters. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days
following written request from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord or to any lender, purchaser or prospective lender or purchaser
designated by Landlord a written statement in a form provided by Landlord
certifying (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified (or,
if modified, stating the nature of such modification), (ii) the date to which
rent has been paid, (iii) that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults (or specifying such defaults if any are claimed), and (iv) such further
matters regarding this Lease and/or the Premises customarily included in
estoppel letters or certificates as may be reasonably requested by Landlord,
provided that disclosure of confidential information by Tenant shall not be
required. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
