4. USE OF PREMISES. (a) Tenant shall use the Premises only for general and
administrative offices and for no other purpose. Except as provided herein, no
signs of any kind shall be installed or maintained on the exterior of the
Building, or in the Premises which shall be visible form outside the Building,
without the prior written consent of Landlord and without conforming said sign
to local ordinances. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant
will not interfere with the conduct of business by other tenants or occupants of
the Building or permit actions constituting a private nuisance, including
without limitation, the occupation by Tenant or its employees, agents or
invitees of more than the number of parking places allocated to Tenant. In
connection with, and incidental to, Tenant's use of the Premises as provided in
this subsection, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense and upon compliance with
all applicable legal requirements, may install a microwave or convection ovens,
kitchenettes and dishwashers in the Premises for the purpose of warming or
re-heating food for the employees and business guests of Tenant (but not for use
as a public restaurant), provided that Tenant shall obtain all permits required
by any governmental authorities for the operation thereof and such installation
shall comply with the provisions of this Lease.
(b) Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all laws, orders and
regulations of Federal, State and municipal authorities and with any direction
of any public officer or officers, pursuant to law, which shall impose any
violation, order or duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect to the Premises or
the use or occupancy thereof, including without limitation the Americans With
Disabilities Act (as amended from time to time and as may be superseded from
time to time, the "Act") and any environmental laws, including without
limitation structural changes. Anything in the preceding sentence to the
contrary notwithstanding, if alterations to the Premises are required under the
Act because of the type of business of another tenant of the Building,
alterations made to its space by another tenant of the Building or alterations
to the common areas of the Building (the "Common Areas") made by Landlord, then
Landlord shall, at its expense, make the alterations to the Premises required
under the Act. To the best of Landlord's knowledge, the Common Areas comply with
applicable laws, codes and regulations, including the Act.
(c) Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon
the Premises which will invalidate or be in conflict with fire, public liability
or other insurance policies covering the Building. Tenant, at its expense, shall
comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Board of Fire
Underwriters or other similar body or authority having jurisdiction and shall
not do or permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises or the Building, or
bring or keep anything therein, which is prohibited by the fire department or
any of such Boards of Fire Underwriters or other body or authority or which
would increase the rate of fire insurance applicable to the Building over that
in effect on the Commencement Date of this Lease. If, by reason of failure to
comply with the provisions of the Section 4, any insurance rate
3
for the Building shall, on the Commencement Date or at any time thereafter, be
higher than it otherwise would be, then Tenant upon demand shall reimburse
Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, for that part of all insurance premiums
thereafter paid by Landlord which shall have been charged because of such
failure by Tenant.
(d) Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, keep and maintain the
Premises in compliance with all local, state and Federal environmental laws,
ordinances and regulations, including without limitation Sections 22a-448
through 22a-457 of the Connecticut General Statutes, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et
seq., 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., 49 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq., and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, (all of the foregoing being referred to
collectively as the "Environmental Laws"). During the Lease term, Tenant shall
permit no spills, discharges, or releases of any hazardous, radioactive or
polluting substances, including without limitation any oil or petroleum products
or any chemical liquids or solids (all of the foregoing being referred to
collectively as "Hazardous Materials"). In addition to the matters provided for
in subsection 13 (c), Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord,
its successors and assigns from and against any claim, liability, cost, damage,
expense, response or remedial action costs (including without limitation
attorneys' fees, and costs of investigation or audit) relating to: (i) the
presence, use or storage on or under the Premises, or any spill, discharge or
release from the Premises, of any Hazardous Material during the Lease term; (ii)
any failure of the Premises to comply with any applicable Environmental Law,
unless such noncompliance results from the conduct of Landlord and/or a prior
occupant; or (iii) any loss of value of the Premises, including without
limitation any loss of value arising from the imposition of any lien against the
Premises, unless such loss of value of the Premises, including without
limitation any loss of value arising from the imposition of any lien against the
Premises, unless such loss of value results from the conduct of Landlord and/or
a prior occupant. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease, and any claim hereunder must be made within five
years after such expiration or termination.
5. RENT. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant receives a rent
concession in months 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 in year 1 by Landlord. Tenant shall begin
paying rent to Landlord in months 4 and 5, and then resume regular monthly
payments in month 8. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent without demand
and without setoff or deductions of any kind, in equal monthly installments, in
advance, on the first day of each calendar month of the Term at the address of
Landlord stated above or such other place as Landlord may designate in writing
form time to time, with payment in advance of appropriate fractions of a monthly
payment for any portion of a month at the expiration or prior termination of the
Term. Every amount payable by Tenant hereunder in addition to Base Rent and
Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as the "Rent". Any Rent not
paid by Tenant on or before the due date thereof shall thereafter be payable
with a late charge equal to 5% of the unpaid installment, payable as Additional
Rent.
6. CONSTRUCTION.
See Exhibit C attached hereto.
7. ADDITIONAL RENT. (a) After the expiration of the Base Year and of each
succeeding calendar year ("Operating Year"), Landlord shall furnish Tenant a
written statement
4
prepared by Landlord of the Operating Expenses of the Building, as defined in
paragraph 7.(b) herein, incurred for such year. During the period of 60 days
after receipt of Landlord's statement, Tenant may inspect and audit the records
of the material reflected in said Landlord's statement at a reasonable time
mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Failure of Tenant to challenge any
item in such statement within 90 days after receipt shall be a waiver of
Tenant's right to challenge such item for such year. Within 30 days after
receipt of such statement for any Operating Year setting forth any increase of
Operating Expenses during such Operating Year over the Operating Expenses in the
Base Year (said increase being referred to herein as the "Cost Increase", Tenant
shall pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Cost Increase (less the amount of
Tenant's projected share paid by Tenant on account thereof) to Landlord as
Additional Rent.
(b) The Operating Costs of the Building are hereby defined to
include all charges for management fees, all charges for security, heat, air
conditioning, utilities, insurance, janitorial and cleaning services; all
salaries, wages, payroll taxes, and other personnel costs of engineers,
superintendents, watchmen and other building workers or employees; all charges
under maintenance, and service contracts or for on-call services for chillers,
boilers, controls and/or elevators; all charges for landscaping, window
cleaning, and building grounds, plaza and parking lot maintenance; all charges
for personal property taxes (if any) in connection with personal property used
in the operation of the Building; all costs of licenses and permits of Building
operation and maintenance; and all other maintenance operation, services or
repair, excluding major component replacement, expenses and costs of supplies
expended in connection with the Building, the suites therein, or the real
property, which charges are or may be deducted (and not capitalized) for Federal
Income Tax purposes; and also including straight line depreciation intention of
lowering of Operating Costs.
(c) Commencing with the first Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant's projected share. Such projected share
shall be equal to Landlord's Increase for the Operating Year. On the first day
of each month of each Operating Year during the Term, and within 30 days after
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
one twelfth of its projected share of the estimated Cost Increase for such
Operating Year. If Landlord's statement after the end of an Operating Year shall
indicate that Tenant's projected share exceeded Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Cost Increase, Landlord shall forthwith, at Landlord's option, either (i) pay
the amount of excess directly to Tenant concurrently with the notice or (ii)
permit Tenant to credit the amount of such excess against the subsequent
payments of Additional Rent due hereunder. If Landlord's statement shall
indicate that Tenant's Proportionate Share of Cost Increase exceeded Tenant's
projected share for the completed Operating Year, Tenant shall, subject to the
provisions of subsection 7 (a) herein, pay the amount of such excess to Landlord
within 30 days after demand. If said Landlord's statement is furnished to Tenant
after the commencement of a subsequent Operating Year, there shall be promptly
paid by Tenant to Landlord or vice versa, as the case may be, an amount equal to
the portion of such payment or credit allocable to the part of such Operating
Year which shall have elapsed prior to the first day of the calendar month next
succeeding the calendar month in which said Landlord's statement is furnished to
Tenant.
(d) Landlord's failure to render Landlord's statement with respect
to any Operating Year or Tax Year, or Landlord's delay in rendering said
statement beyond a date specified herein, shall not prejudice Landlord's right
to render a Landlord's statement with
5
respect to that or any subsequent Operating Year or Tax Year; provided, however,
that Landlord's failure to render a statement within two years after the end of
any Operating Year or Tax Year shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to
render a Landlord's statement for such year. The obligations of Landlord and
Tenant under the provisions of this Section with respect to any Additional Rent,
which obligations have accrued prior to the expiration or sooner termination of
the Term, shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Term.
Any dispute under this Section shall be determined by arbitration in Hartford,
Connecticut, under the then commercial rules of the American Arbitration
Association, and any award shall be binding upon the parties.
8. INCREASE IN REAL ESTATE TAXES. (a) If Real Estate Taxes with respect to
the Building are increased, during any year subsequent to the Tax Base Year,
over Real Estate Taxes paid by Landlord during the Tax Base Year, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, without setoff or deductions of any kind, except as
specified in this Lease, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant's
Proportionate Share of such increase. Payment of such increase shall be made in
the installments provided by the taxing authority within 30 days after Tenant
receives from Landlord notice of such tax increase and a xxxx for Tenant's
Proportionate Share thereof, together with a copy of the applicable xxxx
received by Landlord from the taxing authority. "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean
all taxes or assessments and governmental charges, whether Federal, State or
municipal, which are levied or charged against real estate, personal property
within the Building or rents, or on the right or privilege of leasing real
estate or collecting rents thereon and any other taxes and assessments
attributable to the Building or its operation, excluding, however, Federal,
State or other general income taxes not limited to real property. If the
Building shall not be assessed as if it were 95% occupied during the Tax Base
Year, then for the Tax Base Year and each subsequent year, Real Estate Taxes
shall be adjusted as if the Building were 95% occupied during each such year. If
Landlord shall be required under a mortgage or other creditor arrangement to
make real estate tax deposits monthly or otherwise, Tenant shall make the same
installment payments to Landlord of its share of same.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Lease, Real Estate Taxes shall not include (i) any excess profit taxes,
franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession
taxes, estate taxes, general federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to
the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to rents
or receipts); (ii) penalties incurred as a result of Landlord's negligence,
inability or unwillingness to make payments of, and/or to file any tax or
informational returns with respect to, any Real Estate Taxes, when due; (iii)
any other taxes or assessments charged or levied against Landlord which are not
directly incurred as a result of the ownership or operation of the Building; and
(iv) any real estate taxes directly payable by Tenant or any other tenant in the
Building under the applicable provisions in their respective leases.
9. ALTERATIONS, IMPROVEMENTS, ETC. (a) Alterations, improvements or
additions made by Landlord or Tenant upon the Premises or in or on the Building
outside the Premises, except furniture, light fixtures, equipment, or movable
partitions or trade fixtures installed at the expense of Tenant, shall be the
property of Landlord and shall remain and be surrendered with the Premises as a
part thereof at the termination of this Lease, without compensation to Tenant,
unless Landlord shall require Tenant to remove same.
6
(b) Tenant shall not make any alterations, installations or
improvements in the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Building and all parts of the heating, plumbing, electrical and air conditioning
systems, except those portions within the Premises (and any supplemental HVAC
units installed by or for Tenant), shall be maintained and repaired by Landlord,
except if necessitated by the excess use (i.e., greater than normal office use)
by, or the negligence or wrongful act of Tenant, its employees, agents or
invitees, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for repair or replacement
as necessary.
(b) Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, maintain in good order and
condition and replace, if necessary, the interior of the Premises and the
Building systems therein. Tenant shall keep the Premises clean and orderly in
accordance with Landlord's standards for the Building.
11. PARKING. Landlord shall maintain the Building's parking lot to be used
by Tenant in common with other tenants of the Building. Tenant shall have the
right to use the number of unreserved parking spaces specified in Section 2
hereof. Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during
the Term, to designate the parking spaces to be used by Tenant, in which event
Tenant shall limit its employee and invitee parking to its assigned spaces and
will post markings designating its spaces. Landlord shall have no liability to
Tenant if others park in Tenant's assigned spaces. Landlord shall maintain the
parking lot and sidewalks in good and orderly condition, including but not
limited to reasonably prompt snow removal.
12. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. (a) HVAC. Mondays through Fridays from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (except the days
observed by the Federal or the Connecticut state governments as legal holidays),
Landlord shall furnish and distribute to the Premises air conditioning and heat
with a system designed to maintain an indoor condition of 78 degree F dry bulb
when the outdoor condition is 100 degree F dry bulb and an indoor condition of
68 degree F dry bulb when the outdoor condition is 0 degree F dry bulb.
(b) Water. Landlord shall supply reasonably adequate quantities of
hot and cold water to the Premises for ordinary lavatory and drinking purposes
and for Tenant's kitchen area.

(ii) Landlord shall have the exclusive right, at Tenant's
expense, to make any replacement of lamps, fluorescent tubes and lamp ballasts
in the Premises. Landlord may adopt a system of relamping and ballast
replacement periodically on a group basis in accordance with good management
practice, and the charges for same shall be reasonable.
7
(iii) Landlord shall have the right at any time to install one
or more check meters in the Premises at Landlord's expense and to xxxx Tenant
for electrical consumption above seven xxxxx per rentable square foot, at the
rate charged to Landlord by the utility company.
(d) Cleaning. Landlord, at its expense, shall cause the Premises to

Landlord's reasonable charges for any special or unusual cleaning work in the
Premises, including without limitation, the cleaning of private baths, interior
glass, pantries, kitchens, lounge areas, panelled and fabric walls, and wood
floors.
(e) Security. In no event shall Landlord be required to provide any
security services to the Building. Tenant shall supply such security services to
the Premises as Tenant requires, subject to Landlord's prior approval of plans,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(f) Interruption of Services. Landlord does not warrant that any
service will be free from interruptions caused by repairs, renewals,
improvements, changes of service, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor
controversies, accidents, inability to obtain fuel, water, or supplies, or other
cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No such interruption of service
shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the
Demised Premises, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement
of Rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives and releases all claims against Landlord
for damages for interruption or stoppage of service.
Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if: (i) any
Essential Service (as defined below) is discontinued to the Premises for more
than seven consecutive business days; (ii) Tenant promptly gives Landlord notice
of such discontinuance; (iii) such discontinuance does not result from the
negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's employees or agents,
or from a requirement of Governmental Authority; and (iv) such discontinuance
renders any portion of the Premises untenantable shall thereupon xxxxx until
such discontinuance is remedied. "Essential Service" means any of the following:
heating, ventilating, or cooling (as seasonally required), office electricity,
elevator service or plumbing services to the Premises. The abatement provided
for in this subsection shall not apply to any discontinuance of an Essential
Service caused by casualty or condemnation, which shall be governed respectively
by Section 15 and 16 herein. During any period in which the fee owner of the
Complex is any superior mortgagee or its affiliate claiming or succeeding to fee
title thereunder by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the successor
to such superior mortgagee, the provision for abatement in this paragraph shall
not be effective.
13. INSURANCE. (a) Tenant shall, at its expense, secure and maintain
General Liability Insurance written on a so-called "Comprehensive" General
Liability Form with single limit coverage of at least $3,000,000, with no
deductible, naming Landlord as an additional insured under the policy. Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord duplicate certificates of such insurance prior to
taking occupancy of the Premises and shall delivery new certificates at least 30
days prior to the expiration of the existing coverage. Such certificates shall
provide that in the
8
event of termination or material change in coverage, Landlord shall be given ten
days' advance notice in writing sent by certified mail to the address of
Landlord. Such insurance shall contain a waiver of the insurer's right of
subrogation against Landlord.
(b) Landlord shall carry and maintain throughout the Term,
comprehensive "all-risk" fire and casualty insurance covering the Building and
other improvements on the Land in an amount necessary to avoid coinsurance, and
comprehensive general liability insurance coverage in amounts held by reasonably
prudent commercial landlords of comparable first-class office properties in the
City. Landlord shall maintain such insurance throughout the Term, subject to
changes in amounts which its institutional mortgagee(s) require.
(c) Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights to recover against
each other for any loss or damage arising from any cost covered by any casualty
insurance required under the Lease, or otherwise actually carried by each of
them. Landlord and Tenant will diligently attempt to cause their respective
insurers to issue appropriate waiver of subrogation right endorsements to all
policies and insurance carried in connection with the Premises or the contents
of either of them. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look first to the
proceeds of their respective insurance policies before proceeding against each
other in connection with any claim relating to any matter covered by the Lease.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to self
insure its insurance requirements as set forth in this Lease. Any self-insurance
shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions applicable to such
insurance as required in this Lease, including, a full waiver of subrogation. If
Tenant elects to self-insure as aforesaid, with respect to any claims which may
result from incidents occurring during the term of this Lease, such
self-insurance obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease to the same extent as the insurance required hereunder would survive.
14. SUBORDINATION. (a) This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate
to (i) any and all mortgages now or hereafter affecting the fee title of the
Building, and to any and all present and future extensions, modifications,
renewals, replacements and amendments thereof, and (ii) any and all ground
leases now or hereafter affecting the Building or any part thereof and to any
and all extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements and amendments
thereof. Such subordination is subject to Landlord obtaining a non-disturbance
agreement from each mortgagee or ground lessor in the standard form used by such
party and which agreement shall provide, inter alia, that Tenant's occupancy of
the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant has and is performing all
of its obligations under this Lease, and in the case of a ground lessor, that
such ground lessor shall in no event have any rights with respect to Tenant and
this Lease other than rights held by Landlord, and that such ground lessor
cannot affect Tenant's rights under this Lease so long as Tenant is performing
all of its obligations under this Lease. Such agreement shall not relieve the
mortgagee or ground lessor from liability for payment of the unpaid portion, if
any, of the Allowance payable under Exhibit C hereto.
Tenant will execute and deliver promptly to Landlord any reasonable
certificate or instrument which Landlord, from time to time, may request for
confirmation of the provisions of this Section.
9
(b) Neither the foreclosure of a superior mortgage nor the
termination of a superior ground lease, nor the institution of any suit, action,
summary or other proceedings by Landlord or any successor landlord under such
ground lease or by the holder of any such mortgage, shall, by operation of law,
result in the cancellation or termination of the obligations of Tenant
hereunder, and Tenant agrees to attorn to and recognize Landlord and any
successor landlord under such ground lease or the holder of any such mortgage,
or the purchaser of the Building in foreclosure or any subsequent owner of the
fee, as the case may be, as Tenant's landlord hereunder in the event that any of
them shall succeed to Landlord's interest in the Premises.
15. DESTRUCTION, FIRE OR OTHER CAUSES. (a) If the Premises or the Building
shall be partially damaged by fire or other casualty so that the damage can
reasonably be repaired by Landlord within 120 days from the date of the damage,
then the damage shall be diligently repaired by and at the expense of Landlord
(to the extent of net insurance proceeds received by Landlord for restoration),
subject to applicable laws and insurance requirements, and the Rent until such
repairs shall be apportioned according to the part of the Premises which is
tenantable.
(b) If the Premises are destroyed or are rendered wholly
untenantable by fire or other cause, or are partially damaged so that the damage
cannot reasonably be repaired by Landlord within 120 days of the date of the
damage, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Landlord shall elect not to
restore the same but to demolish it or rebuild it, then in any of such events
Landlord may, within 45 days after such casualty, give Tenant a notice in
writing of intention to terminate this Lease, and thereupon the Term shall
expire, effective the date of the casualty, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises
and surrender the same to Landlord within a reasonable time after receipt of
Landlord's notice. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the
provisions of subsection (a) shall govern.
(c) Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any
and all liability or responsibility (to the releasor or anyone claiming through
or under the releasor by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or damage
to property of the releasor, or anyone claiming through or under the releasor,
caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties, to the extent of
insurance proceeds received by the releasor.
(d) Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to, or be required
(under any provision of this Lease or otherwise) to repair, restore or replace,
any property in the Premises or be liable to Tenant for damage arising from rain
or snow or from the bursting, overflowing or leakage of water, steam or gas
pipes or defect in the plumbing, HVAC, mechanical or electrical systems of the
Building, except for Landlord's negligence or breach of this Lease, or from any
act or neglect of any other tenant or occupant in the Building.
16. EMINENT DOMAIN. (a) If the whole of the Premises shall be acquired or
condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if
any substantial part thereof of the Building is so acquired or condemned as to
render the Premises untenantable, or so that Landlord elects not to restore the
Building but to demolish or rebuild it, then and in that event, the Term shall
cease and terminate from the date of taking, Tenant shall have no claim against
Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of the unexpired Term,
10
nor a claim to any part of an award in such proceeding, and rent shall be
adjusted and paid to the date of such termination; provided, however, that
Tenant may claim against the authority for Tenant's moving costs and the value
of Tenant's property taken.
(b) In the event of any other condemnation of a part of the Building
or Premises, this Lease shall remain in effect, but the Rent shall be prorated
based on that portion of the Premises which remains tenantable and Landlord
shall diligently repair the damage to the Building (to the extent of net
condemnation proceeds received by Landlord for restoration), subject to
applicable laws and insurance requirements.
17. SUBLETTING. (a) Tenant shall not sublease all or any part of the
Premises, or suffer or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be subleased
to or used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each
instance. If the Premises or any part thereof be sublet to or occupied by
anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, collect rent from
the subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein
reserved, but no such subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a
waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the subtenant or occupants, or a
release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the
part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Landlord to sublet shall not be
construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of
Landlord to any further subletting.
(b) If Tenant desires to sublease all or substantially all of the
Premises, Tenant shall first give notice to Landlord of the proposed transaction
and the term thereof, and Landlord shall have the right, by notice to Tenant
within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice, to terminate this Lease. If
Tenant desires to sublease less than substantially all of the Premises, Tenant
shall first give notice to Landlord as aforesaid, and Landlord shall have the
right to terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises
proposed to be subleased, as of the intended effective date of the proposed
sublease; provided however that upon receipt of a termination notice under this
sentence, Tenant may, by notice to Landlord within ten days thereafter, withdraw
its partial subleasing request, in which event the termination notice shall be
deemed rescinded. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease with
respect to such portion of the Premises, then (i) the Base Rent and Tenant's
Proportionate Share shall be proportionally reduced, and an adjustment shall be
made for amounts, if any, paid in advance and applicable to the portion of the
Premises no longer leased by Tenant, and (ii) the number of parking spaces
available for Tenant's use pursuant to Section 11 hereof shall be proportionally
reduced. If Landlord elects not to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold its consent to the proposed subletting.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, without
Landlord's prior consent but upon at least ten days' prior notice to Landlord,
Tenant may sublease part or all of the Premises to an entity, which controls, is
controlled by or under common control with Tenant, as the term "control" is
construed under the Federal securities laws.
18. FEES AND EXPENSES. (a) If Tenant shall default in the observance or
performance of any term or covenant of this Lease, Landlord may, after ten days'
notice to Tenant to cure the default and failure of Tenant to cure the same
within such period, or at any time thereafter without notice in event of
emergency, perform the same for the account of
11
Tenant. If Landlord makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations in
connection with a default by Tenant, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or
proceeding against Tenant, such sums paid or obligations incurred, with interest
(as provided below) and costs, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder
and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten days of rendition of any xxxx
or statement to Tenant hereunder.
(b) Any Rent not paid by Tenant within 20 days after the due date
thereof, shall thereafter be payable with interest at the rate of 2% per annum
in excess of the prime or base rate of The Chase Manhattan Bank of Connecticut
(or its successor) in effect from time to time, from the due date to the date of
payment.
19. NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD, ETC. (a) Landlord and Landlord's
agents have made no representations or promises with respect to the Building or
the Premises, including the uses permitted under applicable law, except for
representations herein expressly set forth.
(b) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its
employees, agents and contractors against and from all liabilities, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred by or asserted
against Landlord or such other persons by reason of any of the following
occurring during the Term or prior thereto when Tenant has been given access to
the Premises: (i) any work or thing done in the Premises by or at the request of
Tenant, its employees or agents; (ii) any negligence or wrongful act or omission
of Tenant, its employees or agents; (iii) any accident, injury, loss or damage
to any person or property occurring in the Premises, except if due to the
negligence of Landlord, its employees or agents; and (iv) any failure on the
part of Tenant to comply with any of the terms of this Lease.
(c) Any provision of this Lease which requires Landlord not to
unreasonably withhold its consent shall never be the basis for an award of
damages or give rise to a right of setoff or termination to Tenant, but may be
the basis for a declaratory judgment or specific injunction with respect to the
matter in question.
(d) Tenant shall look solely to the estate and interest of Landlord,
its successors and assigns, in the Building for the collection of a judgment in
the event of a default by Landlord hereunder, and no other property or assets of
Landlord or any officer, director or partner of Landlord shall be subject to
levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's
remedies.
(e) The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more instances
upon the strict performance of any one or more of the agreements, terms,
covenants, conditions or obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any right,
remedy or election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations
of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent
breach, act or omission, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
12
(f) Each party's obligations under this Lease shall survive the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term, as same may be extended
hereunder.
(g) The Building may be designated and known by any name Landlord
may. choose, and such name or designation may be changed from time to time in
Landlord's sole discretion.
20. QUIET ENJOYMENT. (a) Upon Tenant paying the Rent and observing and
performing all the terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant's part to be
observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises
hereby demised, free from any interference, molestation or acts of Landlord or
of anyone claiming by, through or, under Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the
terms and conditions of this Lease and to any ground lease and mortgages as
hereinbefore provided.
(b) If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the Expiration Date or earlier termination date without the written
consent of Landlord, Tenant's occupancy shall be under all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, except that (i) the tenancy shall be at will,
terminable by either party on ten days' written notice; (ii) the Base Rent shall
be equal to the greater of (x) 150% of the Base Rent payable at the termination
date, and (y) the then fair market rent for the Premises; and (iii) Tenant shall
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for all damages sustained and liabilities
incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's continued occupancy beyond ten days
after Landlord's notice to Tenant under this subsection.
21. DEFAULT. (a) If (i) Tenant defaults in the payment when due of any
installment of Rent, or (ii) Tenant defaults in fulfilling any other covenant of
this Lease and Tenant fails to remedy such default within 20 days after notice
by Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of such default (or if the said
default cannot be completely cured or remedied within said 20-day period and
Tenant shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within such
20-day period and shall not thereafter in good faith diligently proceed to
remedy or cure such default), then Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, cancel
this Lease, and this Lease and the Term hereunder shall end and expire as fully
and completely as if the date of cancellation were the day herein definitely
fixed for the end and expiration of this Lease and the Term hereof. Tenant shall
then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable
as hereinafter provided.
(b) If (i) the notice provided for in subsection (a) above shall
have been given and the Term shall expire as aforesaid, or (ii) Tenant shall
make default in payment of the Base Rent or any part of same or in making any
other payment herein provided for a period of ten days after notice by Landlord
to Tenant of such default, then and in any of such events, Landlord may, without
notice, re-enter the Premises, and dispossess Tenant, and the legal
representative of Tenant or other occupant of the Premises, by summary
proceedings or otherwise, and remove their effects and hold the Premises as if
this Lease had not been made, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as
hereinafter provided.
22. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. In case of any such default, re-entry,
expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the Rent
shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry,
dispossess and/or expiration, together with
13
such expenses as Landlord may incur for reasonable counsel fees, brokerage
and/or putting the Premises in good order, or for preparing the same for
re-rental; (b) Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof,
either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at
Landlord's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Term, and may grant concessions of free rent;
and/or (c) Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay Landlord
any deficiency between (i) the Rent hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be
paid, and (ii) the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the
lease or leases of the Premises for each month of the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term. There shall be added to such
deficiency such expenses as Landlord may incur in connection with re-letting the
Premises, including without limitation, counsel fees, brokerage commissions and
expenses incurred in maintaining the Premises in good order and in connection
with renovating and preparing the same for re-letting. Any such rent deficiency
shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent day specified in
this Lease, and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any
month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the
deficiency for any subsequent month or months by a similar proceeding. In
addition, Landlord shall have the alternative of commencing suit against Tenant
at any time for an amount equal to the Rent reserved for the balance of the Term
less the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period. Landlord, at its
option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in
the Premises as Landlord considers advisable for the purpose of re-letting the
Premises; and the making of such alterations and/or decorations shall not
operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.
The failure of Landlord to re-let the Premises or any part thereof shall not
release or affect Tenant's liability for continued rent or damages hereunder nor
shall Landlord in any event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to
re-let the Premises; provided, however, that, to the extent required by
Connecticut law, Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to re-let
the Premises. In the event of a breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or
provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to
invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity, as if re-entry, summary
proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this
Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other
remedy, in law or in equity.
23. RIGHT TO EXHIBIT PREMISES AND ACCESS TO PREMISES. (a) Landlord
reserves the right to enter the Premises and exhibit same at any reasonable time
and upon reasonable notice (i) to prospective mortgagees, purchasers and ground
lessees, and (ii) to prospective tenants at any time within 180 days prior to
the expiration of the Term.
(b) Landlord reserves the right to have its employees and agents
enter the Premises at any reasonable time (and at any time in case of emergency)
in order to gain access to any utility area, which utility area contains
equipment and systems for the Building, and in order to effect necessary repairs
and replacements.
(c) Landlord shall exercise all access rights to the Premises
available under this Lease, in each instance, upon reasonable advance notice to
Tenant, in a manner consistent with Tenant's reasonable security requirements
and in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business
operations, except in any event in case of emergency.

agents, visitors, invitees and licensees shall observe faithfully and comply
strictly with such Rules and Regulations as Landlord's agents may, from time
to time, adopt.

any realtor, broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease,
except for the Broker, and agrees to pay and to hold Landlord harmless from any
cost, expense or liability (including costs of suit and attorneys' fees) for any
compensation, commission or charges claimed by any realtor, broker or agent with
respect to this Lease and the negotiation thereof, other than a claim of the
Broker and a claim based upon any written agreement between such person and
Landlord. Landlord represents that it has not entered into a written agreement
with any broker other than the Broker, with respect to the leasing of the
Building and which is in effect this date. Landlord shall indemnify and hold
Tenant harmless from any claim of the Broker (except for a claim based on an
agreement between Tenant and the Broker) and of any other broker with whom
Landlord has an agreement, all with respect to this Lease.
26. FORCE MAJEURE. Landlord and Tenant, respectively, shall not be in
default hereunder if such party is unable to fulfill or is delayed in fulfilling
any of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any obligations
to supply any service hereunder, or any obligations to make repairs or
replacements hereunder, if such party is prevented from fulfilling or is delayed
in fulfilling such obligations by reason of fire or other casualty, strikes or
labor troubles, governmental preemption-emption in connection with a national
emergency, shortage of supplies or materials, or by reason of any rule, order or
regulation of any governmental authority, or by reason of the condition of
supply and demand affected by war or other emergency, or any other cause beyond
its reasonable control. Such inability or delay by Landlord or Tenant in
fulfilling any of their respective obligations hereunder shall not affect,
impair or excuse the other party hereto from the performance of any of the
terms, covenants, conditions, limitations, provisions or agreements hereunder on
its part to be performed, nor result in any abatement of rents or Additional
Rents payable hereunder. Tenant shall not, however, be excused hereunder from
the prompt and full payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent for any cause
specified in this Section.

effect and that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, there are then no offsets,
defenses or counterclaims with respect to the payment of rent reserved hereunder
or in the performance of the other terms, covenants and conditions hereof on the
part of the Tenant to be performed, and that as of such date no default has been
declared hereunder by either party hereto and that Tenant at the time has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances which it might reasonably believe would
give rise to a default by either party. Such estoppel certificate required by
any party with whom Landlord is dealing may be in somewhat altered form from the
above terms.

respective heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, successors and,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, their assigns.

of Landlord's interest in this Lease, the assignor in each case shall no longer
be liable for the performance or observance of any agreements or conditions on
the part of the Landlord to be performed or observed.
30. OPTION TO EXTEND. (a) Tenant shall have one option to extend the Term
for an additional period of five years upon all of the terms and conditions of

of the fair rental value of the Premises at the date three months prior to the
commencement of the extension Term; and (ii) there shall be no further option to
extend beyond the expiration of such extension Term.
16
(b) Tenant's option may be exercised only by notice of exercise
given by Tenant to Landlord at least twelve months prior to the expiration of
the then current Term. Failure to so exercise within such period shall render
any subsequent attempted exercise void and of no effect, any principles of law
to the contrary not withstanding. Tenant shall have no right to exercise its
option to extend the Term, and any attempted exercise shall be void and of no
effect, if (i) the named Tenant has assigned this Lease or has at any time
subleased, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the Premises to a party other than
one controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant; or (ii)
Tenant shall be in default hereunder and such default shall not have been cured
at the time of the attempted exercise or, if such default occurs after Tenant's
attempted exercise of the option, at the time of the proposed commencement of
the extension Term.
(c) In the event that the parties have not agreed upon the fair
rental value of the Premises prior to the date three months before the
commencement of the extension Term, such value shall be determined by
arbitration in the City before a single arbitrator as follows:
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall have 15 days within which to
select one mutually agreeable arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree
on one arbitrator within the 15 day period, either party may promptly request
the president of the local Board of Realtors to appoint an arbitrator for the
matter, and said president's selection shall be binding upon Landlord and
Tenant. Said president shall appoint as arbitrator an individual with the
following qualifications: MAI credentials; ten years' experience in the business
of appraising commercial real estate; generally recognized competence in the
valuation of commercial rental properties in Hartford County; and has never been
a direct or indirect employee or agent of either Landlord or Tenant.
(ii) Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator,
in writing, a good faith determination of the fair rental value of the Premises.
(iii) The appraiser selected must choose either Landlord's or
Tenant's good faith determination of the fair rental value of the Premises and
the appraiser's choice shall be final and binding upon the parties. In
determining the fair rental value of the Premises and which of Landlord's or
Tenant's determinations to select, the appraiser shall consider all relevant
factors. From the date of appointment, the arbitrator shall have 30 days within
which to render a decision as to the fair rental value of the Premises. If the
arbitrator fails to render a decision within the applicable 30-day period,
either party shall have the right to apply to the American Academy of
Arbitrators for a decision.
Judgement upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding
upon the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The
arbitrator shall determine the liability of the parties for the costs of the
arbitration and may allocate counsel fees, witness fees and other costs between
the parties.
31. EXPANSION OPTION. (a) If, at any time during the Term, any space
becomes available in the Building and if another tenant of the Building has not
exercised a superior right to lease such space, Landlord shall so notify Tenant
in writing and, provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall
have the right, exercisable upon written notice give to Landlord
17
within 15 days after receipt of Landlord's notice, to lease such additional
space (the "Expansion Space") upon all the terms and conditions contained
herein, except that (i) Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall be the fair
rental value of the Expansion Space as of the date of Landlord's notice; and
(ii) Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be increased, based upon the ratio of
the rentable square footage of the Expansion Space to the rentable square
footage of the Building. Landlord's notice shall include a statement of
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the fair rental value of the Expansion space.
If the parties have not agreed upon the fair rental value of the Expansion Space
at the time Tenant exercises its option to lease same, such value shall be
determined by arbitration, as provided in Section 30 hereof.
(b) If Tenant fails to exercise its option to lease the Expansion
Space within the 15-day period as set forth above, Landlord shall be free to
lease the Expansion Space to any party upon any terms and conditions Landlord
shall determine, from time to time during the Term, without any further
obligation to Tenant under the Section. Subsequent to Tenant's failure to
exercise its option, Tenant shall, within ten days after demand thereof by
Landlord, confirm in writing that Tenant has declined to exercise such right.
(c) Tenant shall have no right to exercise its option to lease the
Expansion Space, and any attempted exercise shall be void and of no effect, if:
(i) the named Tenant has assigned this Lease or has at any time subleased, in
the aggregate, more than 50% of the Premises to a party other than one
controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant; or (ii) Tenant
shall be in default hereunder and such default shall not have been cured at the
time of the attempted exercise or, if such default occurs after Tenant's
attempted exercise of the option, at the time of the proposed commencement of
the lease of the Expansion Space.
32. SIGNAGE. Tenant shall have the right to a listing in the lobby
directory of the Building and on the entrance door of the Premises. Tenant shall
have exterior signage on brick exterior or brick pedestal at the entrance, per
approval of the Town of Glastonbury and prior approval of Landlord.
33. SEVERABILITY. Each covenant and agreement in this Lease shall be
construed to be a separate and independent covenant and agreement, and the
breach of any such covenant or agreement by Landlord shall not discharge or
relieve Tenant from Tenant's obligations to perform every covenant and agreement
of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If any term of provision of this Lease
or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Lease and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
The use of the term "herein" shall mean "in this Lease" unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise.
34. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. At the expiration of the Term, Tenant will
peacefully yield up to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in as good order and
repair as when delivered to Tenant, damage by fire, casualty and ordinary wear
and tear excepted. Any property left by Tenant in the Premises shall be deemed
abandoned by Tenant.
35. GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed in all respects by the
laws of the State of Connecticut.
18
36. LITIGATION EXPENSES. If any action, suit or proceeding is commenced
under or in connection with this Lease, the losing party shall pay to the
prevailing party, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award for,
attorneys' fees, court costs and other litigation expenses incurred by the
prevailing party in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
