attorney's fees incurred in contesting the validity or amount of the
above, but excluding any amount in respect of any income, profit or
revenue tax or any other tax, assessment, charge or levy upon the rents
payable by the tenants of the Building unless such amount is levied as
a substitution in whole or in part for taxes assessed or imposed by any
taxing authority on the Building and the Land, in which case Taxes
shall include an amount of money equal to the taxes which would have
been payable by the Landlord in the absence of such substitute tax or
excise or, if the same cannot be reasonably ascertained, an amount of
money equal to the portion of the tax or excise as would be payable by
the Landlord if the rents payable by the tenants of the Building, upon
which such tax or
3
excise has been imposed, were the sole taxable income of the Landlord
for the relevant Calendar Year in question and the tax or excise, so
far as ascertainable, relieves the Landlord from the payment of any
taxes which it otherwise would be obligated to pay. Any Taxes which may
be paid over more than a one-year period shall be apportioned evenly
over the maximum period of time permitted by law and only the portion
thereof attributable to a given year shall be included in Taxes for
such year.
(b) Within ninety (90) days after the expiration of each Calendar Year,
the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a statement, certified as correct by
the Landlord's independent certified public accountants, setting forth the
Operating Expenses and Taxes per square foot of Gross Rentable Area of the
Building for that Calendar Year, and the excess of that amount over the Base
Taxes and Operating Expenses per square foot; provided, however, that delay in
completion of such determination and calculations shall not be deemed a waiver
of Landlord's right to collect such Additional Rent. Such statement shall be
binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant subject to Tenant's auditing rights
as hereinafter provided. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, as additional
rent, within thirty (30) days after the Tenant receives such statement, the
Escalation Amount for the Calendar Year to which such statement relates, less so
much thereof as shall have been paid to the Landlord as provided in Section
3(c).
(c) The Tenant shall not be responsible for paying any Escalation
Amount during the first Ten Months ending December 31, 2000. Beginning January
1, 2001 and continuing during the term of this lease, as an estimate of the
Escalation Amount for the then-current Calendar Year, the Tenant shall pay to
the Landlord, beginning January 1, 2001, and on the first day of each and every
subsequent calendar month during the term of this lease, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount from time to time reasonably estimated by the
Landlord as the Escalation Amount for the then-current Calendar Year. If the
amounts paid to the Landlord as provided in this Section 3(c) during any
Calendar Year shall exceed the actual Escalation Amount for that Calendar Year,
then the Landlord shall refund such excess to the Tenant at the same time that
the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant the statement required pursuant to
Section 3(b) with respect to that Calendar Year.
(d) The additional rent payable pursuant to this Section 3 during the
last Lease Year shall be apportioned to reflect the number of days of such
Calendar Year within the term of this lease.
(e) Tenant shall have ninety (90) days to audit Landlord's statement
and the work papers from which the statement was derived. Any Landlord
overcharges are payable to Tenant in thirty (30) days or credited against the
next rental payment or payments due from Tenant, if applicable, and as shall be
mutually agreed. If Tenant's audit discloses error in the amount of 5% or more
Landlord shall pay the cost of Tenant's CPA fees or credit the amount against
the next rental payment or payments due from Tenant, if applicable, and as shall
be mutually agreed.
4. CONSTRUCTION BY THE LANDLORD. None.
5. USE. The Tenant shall have the right to occupy and use the Demised
Premises for general and other office purposes, and the Tenant shall not use or
permit the use of the Demised Premises for any other purpose. Landlord warrants
that applicable covenants, restrictions, easements, zoning and other laws and
regulations permit the use of the Demised Premises for the
4
purpose herein allowed and specified, and that on or before the Commencement
Date Landlord shall hold a valid certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent)
for the Demised Premises.
6. SIGNS; LOBBY DIRECTORY. (a) The Landlord, at the Landlord's expense,
shall provide and maintain (i) in the lobby of the Building a surface-mounted
directory and (ii) on the Land a ground mounted directory, each naming the
Tenant and other tenants in the Building.
(b) Unless the Landlord shall have given its prior written consent, the
Tenant shall not install, paint, inscribe or maintain any lettering, name, sign,
business designation, advertising or publicity device on the Land or on any
exterior window or on any other interior or exterior portion of the Building,
and during the term of this lease the Landlord shall include like restrictions
in each lease hereafter made for any other portions of the Building.
Notwithstanding the above, however, the Tenant shall have the right to place its
name, and the name of any related or successor corporations, on or adjacent to
any doors leading to the Demised Premises, provided that the Tenant shall have
obtained the Landlord's prior approval as to location, size, color and style,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
7. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE. This lease and all rights of the Tenant
hereunder are subject and subordinate to any mortgage or ground or other lease
made by the Landlord and which affect the Building or the Land and to any and
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof. It is the intention of the parties that this provision be
self-operative and that no further instrument shall be required to effect such
subordination of this lease. The Tenant shall, however, upon demand at any time
or times execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Landlord a subordination
agreement, which subordination agreement shall subordinate this lease and all of
the rights of the Tenant hereunder to any future mortgages or ground or other
lease and shall include, but not be limited to, statements that if the lender or
lessor succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this lease, the lender or
lessor shall not be:
(i) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord
(including Landlord); or
(ii) liable for the return of any security deposit which shall
not have been turned over to lender; or
(iii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might
have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(iv) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might
have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord
(including Landlord); or
(v) bound by any amendment or modification of this lease made
without its consent;
provided, however, that in connection with any subordination to any future
mortgages or leases, the Tenant shall receive a nondisturbance agreement from
the holder of such mortgages or the lessors under such leases, as the case may
be, at the time such instruments are delivered by the Tenant. Such
nondisturbance agreement shall provide, among other things, that so long as the
Tenant is not in default under the terms of this lease, neither this lease nor
the Tenant's possession of the Demised Premises will be disturbed. The Tenant
further agrees to attorn to the
5
holder of any such mortgage, the lessor under any such lease or to the receiver
in foreclosure or the purchaser in such foreclosure proceedings, as the case may
be, and to recognize such party as the Landlord under this lease. The Tenant
waives the provisions of any statute or rule or law, now or hereafter in effect,
which may give or purport to give the Tenant any right or election to terminate
or otherwise adversely affect this lease or the obligations of the Tenant
hereunder in the event any such foreclosure proceeding is brought, prosecuted or
completed.
8. QUIET ENJOYMENT. The Landlord covenants and agrees that as long as
the Tenant pays the Rent and performs the remainder of the Tenant's obligations
under this lease, the Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy
the Demised Premises without interference by any person claiming by, through or
under the Landlord.
9. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLEASES. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 9, the Tenant agrees to neither assign or in any way encumber this
lease, nor to sublet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, nor to permit
the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, to be used by others, without
obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord in each instance, which will
not be unreasonably withheld, conditional or delayed.
(b) So long as no event of default shall have occurred and be
continuing hereunder, the Tenant may assign this lease without the need for
Landlord consent to any corporation into which the Tenant may be merged or with
which the Tenant may be consolidated, or to which all or substantially all of
the Tenant's assets shall be transferred, provided that such corporation shall
have a net worth at least equal to that of the Tenant immediately prior to such
merger, consolidation or transfer. The Tenant shall give notice to the Landlord
of any assignment under this Section 9(b), and shall deliver to the Landlord an
executed counterpart of the instrument effecting such assignment, together with
an undertaking by any such corporation to agree to be bound by and to perform
all of the Tenant's obligations hereunder. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord
fifty percent (50%) of all profit derived by the Tenant from such assignment or
sublease in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(c) below.
(c) In the event of an approved assignment or sublease, Landlord shall
be entitled to receive 50% of the Profits actually received by Tenant pursuant
to such approved sublease or assignment. Whenever Landlord is entitled to share
in any excess income resulting from an assignment or sublease of the Demised
Premises, the following shall constitute the definition of the Profits: Profits,
as that term is used or described in the lease, shall mean the gross revenue
received from the assignee or sublessee during the sublease term or during the
assignment, less:
(i) the gross revenue paid to Landlord by Tenant during the
period of the sublease term or during the assignment;
(ii) the gross revenue paid to Landlord by Tenant for all days
the portion of the Demised Premises in question was vacated from the
date that Tenant first vacated that portion of the Demised Premises
until the date the assignee or sublessee was to pay rent;
(iii) any improvement allowance or other economic concessions
(planning allowance, moving expenses, etc.) paid;
(iv) lease takeover payments;
6
(v) costs of advertising the space for sublease or
assignment;
(vi) unamortized cost of initial and subsequent improvements
to the Demised Premises by Tenant; and
(vii) real estate brokerage commissions.
(d) No assignment or subletting of this lease shall relieve the Tenant
of any of the tenant's obligations under this lease.
10. NO NUISANCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC
AUTHORITIES. The Tenant agrees (a) not to create or permit any nuisance on or
about the Demised Premises, (b) to comply with and conform to (i) all of the
laws and regulations of the state of Connecticut, and (ii) the by-laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations of the Town of Glastonbury, so far as the
Tenant's use of the Demised Premises may be concerned, and (c) to save the
Landlord harmless from all damages, fines, penalties and costs for violation of
or noncompliance with the provisions of this Section 10, provided that such
compliance shall not necessitate structural alterations or improvements other
than those arising out of the Tenant's Changes (as defined in Section 13).
Tenant's obligation under this Section 10 or any other similar provision of the
lease (including the rules and regulations, if any) shall be limited to those
situations in which a violation, order, code, duty or insurance requirement is
imposed resulting from the particular use made of the Demised Premises or any
portion thereof by Tenant, it being understood that Tenant shall not be
responsible for complying with any violations, orders, directives, laws, rules,
regulations, codes, duties or insurance requirements which are imposed on the
Building generally and which would have to be complied with whether Tenant or
any other tenants were then in possession of the Demised Premises.
11. INSURANCE. (a) At all times during the term of this lease, Landlord
shall insure the Building against loss or damage by fire, and such other
casualties as may be included within the extended coverage clauses of policies
which are then standard for use in the state of Connecticut in such amount as
the Landlord in its sole judgment shall deem appropriate.
(b) The Tenant shall not commit or permit any violation of the policies
carried by the Landlord pursuant to Section 11(a), or do or permit anything to
be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept, on or in the Demised Premises,
which, in case of any of the foregoing, (i) could result in termination of any
of such policies, (ii) could adversely affect the Landlord's right of recovery
under any of such policies, or (iii) would result in the refusal by reputable
and independent insurance companies to insure the Building or the property of
the Landlord therein in amounts reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. If any
such action by the Tenant, or any failure by the Tenant to comply with the
requirements of insurance policies with respect to the Building or to perform
any of the Tenant's obligations under this lease, or the use of the Demised
Premises by the Tenant, shall result in any increase in the rate of premiums
payable with respect to such policies carried by the Landlord, the Tenant shall
pay to the Landlord, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days after demand
thereof or the resulting additional premiums which shall be paid by the
Landlord.
7
(c) Except as provided in Section 11(g) below, at all times during the
term of this lease, the Tenant shall (i) insure the Tenant's Changes and the
Tenant's Property (as defined in Section 14) against loss or damage by fire and
such other casualties as may be included within the extended coverage clauses of
policies which are then standard for use in the State of Connecticut, and (ii)
keep in full force and effect a policy of public liability and property damage
insurance with respect to the Demised Premises in which the limit initially
shall be not less than one Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for each person and
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for each accident, and in which the limit
for property damage initially shall be not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000.00), such limits to be increased from time to time as
reasonably specified by the Landlord.
(d) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant
hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action,
against the other, its agents, servants, partners, shareholders, officers, or
employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Demised Premises or the
Building, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party
therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which could be
insured against under the terms of standard fire and extended coverage insurance
policies regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party
hereto, its agents, officers, partners, shareholders, servants, or employees,
and covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against such
other party. Tenant will cause its respective insurers to issue appropriate
waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to such policies of insurance carried
in connection with the Building and the Demised Premises.
(e) All insurance provided for in this Section 11 shall be effected
under valid and enforceable policies in form and substance then standard in the
state of Connecticut, issued by insurers of recognized responsibility licensed
to do business in the state of Connecticut and satisfactory to the Landlord.
Upon the Commencement Date, and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration dates of expiring policies provided by the Tenant pursuant to
Section 11(c), the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord copies of policies or
certificates with respect to the insurance being maintained by the Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this lease. All such policies or certificates shall
contain an agreement by the insurers that such policies will not be canceled,
amended or otherwise modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the Landlord, and that the Landlord's rights and interests under such
policies shall not be subject to cancellation by reason of any act or omission
of the Tenant. All insurance policies provided by the Tenant pursuant to Section
11(c) shall name the Landlord as an additional insured as its interest may
appear.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify
and save Landlord against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of defense)
because of injury, including death, to any person, or damage or loss of any kind
to property caused by negligence or misconduct of Tenant or the breach by the
Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to indemnify Landlord against Landlord's negligence or misconduct.
(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall be
permitted to self-assume the risk of physical damage to its personal property in
lieu of maintaining insurance
8
thereon. In the event of loss or damage to Tenant's personal property, Tenant
agrees to be responsible for repairing or replacing such damaged property.
12. RULES AND REGULATIONS. The Tenant and its officers, employees and
agents shall conform to and abide by such reasonable rules and regulations,
including those Rules and Regulations as are set forth on Exhibit D attached
hereto, as shall be established from time to time by the Landlord in connection
with the operation, maintenance, safety and security of the Building. The
Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for violation of such rules and
regulations by other tenants or occupants of the Building, their servants,
employees, agents, visitors or licensees, or by other persons. Landlord agrees
to apply and enforce the rules and regulations for the Building evenly with
respect to all Tenants.
13. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. (a) The Tenant shall not make or have
made alterations, improvements, decorations, installations and substitutions
(collectively called "Tenant's changes") in, of or to the Demised Premises
without the prior written reasonable consent of the Landlord in each instance;
provided, however, that, except as to structural alterations, improvements or
additions and those prohibited by the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as
Exhibit D, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Unless
otherwise specified in the consent referred to in this Section 13, any
improvements or alterations in the Demised Premises made by the Tenant
(including, without limitation, permanent partitions, wall paneling and lighting
fixtures, but excepting the Tenant's Property (as defined in Section 14)) shall
be and remain the property of the Landlord and, except as provided in Section
21, shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Demised Premises at the
termination of the term of this lease. If the Landlord consents to any such
alterations, improvements or additions, it may impose such conditions with
respect thereto as the Landlord reasonably deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, requiring the Tenant to furnish the Landlord with security for the
payment of all costs to be incurred in connection with such work, insurance
against liabilities which may arise out of such work and plans, specifications
and permits necessary for such work. The work necessary to make any alterations,
improvements or additions to the Demised Premises shall be done at the Tenant's
expense by employees of or contractors hired by the Landlord, except to the
extent the Landlord gives its prior written consent to the Tenant's hiring
employees or contractors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The Tenant shall promptly pay to the Landlord or the Tenant's
contractors, as the case may be, when due, the cost of all such work and of all
repairs to the Building required by reason thereof. Upon completion of such work
the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord, if payment is made directly to
contractors, evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final
waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.
(b) The Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all necessary governmental
permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of the Tenant's
changes and for final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause the
Tenant's changes to be performed in compliance therewith and with all applicable
laws and requirements of public authorities, and in a good and workmanlike
manner.
(c) The Tenant's changes shall not constitute the basis for a claim
against the Landlord, nor a lien or charge upon or against the Land or the
Building, and if at any time any such claim, lien or charge shall be filed
against the Land or the Building, the Tenant shall cause such claim,
9
lien or charge to be properly released of record within fifteen (15) days after
the filing thereof, and if the Tenant shall fail to do so, then the Landlord may
discharge the same. The Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the
Landlord from and against any and all such claims, liens and charges, and all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the
Landlord in procuring the discharge of any such claim, lien or charge or in
connection with any action or proceeding brought thereon.
(d) The Tenant shall pay for all materials constituting Tenant's
Changes, and the Tenant agrees that none of such materials shall be at any time
subject to or encumbered by any lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge,
installment sales contract or the interest of any other person, firm or
corporation whether created voluntarily or involuntarily.
14. TENANT'S PROPERTY. (a) Except for Tenant's Changes and those items
furnished or installed by the Landlord as part of the Landlord's Work as
provided in Section 4(b), all movable partitions, business and trade fixtures,
machinery and equipment, communications equipment and all other property, which
is not attached to or built into the Demised Premises, which are installed in
the Demised Premises and which is installed in the Demised Premises by or for
the account of the Tenant at its sole expense and all furniture, furnishings and
other articles of personal property owned by the Tenant and located in the
Demised Premises (all of which are collectively called the "Tenant's Property"),
shall be and shall remain the property of the Tenant, and may be removed by it
at any time during the term of this lease and shall be removed by it at the
termination of the term of this lease. The Tenant shall repair or pay the cost
of repairing any damage to the Demised Premises or to the Building resulting
from such removal.
(b) The Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant or any other person
for any loss or damage to the Tenant's property or the Tenant's changes, or to
any property of any other person, from any cause, including, without limitation,
theft, vandalism, illegal entry, or by steam, gases or electricity, or by water,
rain or snow, whether the same may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the
Building, or from the pipes or plumbing work of the Building, or from any other
place or quarter, unless caused by the negligence or willful act of the
Landlord, its servants, agents or employees.
15. TENANT'S REPAIRS. (a) Except for the maintenance for which the
Landlord is expressly responsible pursuant to the provisions of Section 16, the
Tenant agrees that throughout the term of this lease, the Tenant, at its
expense, shall (i) keep the Demised Premises in a clean condition and in good
order, and (ii) make all necessary repairs and replacements on account of, and
not do or suffer any waste, damage or injury to the Demised Premises or the
Tenant's Changes.
(b) Except for loss or damage by reason of fire and other casualty, the
Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for all costs and expense incurred by the
Landlord to repair all damage the Demised Premises as shall be required by

contractors, agents or invitees, such payment to be made within thirty (30) days
after written demand therefor.

parking lot, sidewalks and other appurtenances thereto, in good working order
and condition and shall make all repairs, structural and otherwise, interior and
exterior, as and when needed in or about the Demised Premises. The Landlord
shall not be liable for any damages sustained by the Tenant resulting from the
failure of the Landlord to make repairs for which the Landlord is responsible
hereunder unless prior written notice has been given by the Tenant to the
Landlord of the need for such repairs and the lapse of a period of time
sufficient, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, for the making of such
repairs has occurred.
(b) The Landlord, at its expense, shall:
(i) keep and maintain clean and in good order the exterior of
the Demised Premises (including both sides of all exterior windows),
the lobbies, public areas and the public facilities of the Building and
the Land,
(ii) keep the sidewalks and parking lot on and adjoining the
Land free of accumulations of snow and ice, dirt, refuse, rubbish and
unlawful obstruction,
(iii) keep the exterior surfaces of the Building cleaned and
washed or otherwise clean the same as frequently as shall be necessary
to maintain the first-class appearance of the Building, and
(iv) keep and maintain clean and in good condition the
interior of the Demised Premises, the Landlord providing five (5) day
cleaning service comparable to other Class A buildings in the Salmon
Brook area, as per the cleaning specifications including the services
delimited in the "Outline of Cleaning Services" attached hereto as
Exhibit E.
17. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. (a) During the term of this lease, and so
long as no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the
Landlord, shall provide hot and cold running water for drinking purposes,
electricity for normal office use, toilet and automatically operated elevator
facilities to the Demised Premises on a round-the-clock basis. The Landlord
shall also provide heat, air-conditioning and ventilation in the Demised
Premises and the lobbies of the Building during "regular hours" of each
"business day" (which as used in this lease means 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday) sufficient to maintain
the Demised Premises with proper ventilation at a comfortable temperature level.
The HVAC system can be activated after hours via an override switch. The Tenant
shall pay to the Landlord on a monthly basis $30.00 per hour for such overtime
use.
Landlord and Tenant agree to work cooperatively with one another to arrange and
provide for extra hours of HVAC for the Demised Premises when Tenant requires
such extra hours. Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to provide for such
additional HVAC when Tenant requests. Tenant recognizes that where possible, it
shall notify Landlord of its need for additional HVAC by 3:00 p.m. of the day
for which it is requested and by 3:00 p.m. on the day before the weekend or
holiday if requested for any part of the weekend or holiday. Tenant agrees to
provide Landlord with as much prior notice as possible to avoid those situations
where Landlord may not be available or reachable at 3:00 p.m. of a given day.
(b) In the event that the Tenant shall install in the Demised Premises
computer or other equipment which in the Landlord's judgment consumes more
electricity than is generally used
11
for normal office use, or in the event that the Tenant regularly shall use the
Demised Premises for a "second shift" or otherwise during other than regular
hours of the business day, then the Landlord may cause a survey to be made, at
the Tenant's expense, by a qualified independent electrical consultant to
determine the amount of electricity consumed in the Demised Premises, and the
Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on a monthly basis the amount by which the cost
of the electricity consumed in the Demised Premises exceeds the cost of the
electricity used for normal office use as reasonably estimated by the Landlord.
The Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord on demand for all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such electrical survey.
(c) The Landlord shall not be liable for failure to furnish any of the
services specified in Section 17 (a) if such failure is due to the breakdown of
the heating, ventilating or air-conditioning plant or the elevators, or any
other service facility of the Building, or in the event the failure to furnish
such services shall be due to strikes or any other cause beyond the Landlord's
control. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if the stoppage
of services which Landlord is obligated to provide for Tenant causes any portion
of the Demised Premises to become unusable by Tenant for more than ten (10)
consecutive days, then and in that event Tenant shall be entitled to a pro rata
abatement of rent as to such unusable portion of the Demised Premises commencing
with the fourth (4th) day that the same are unusable, provided, however, that
Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent due to unusability (i)
caused by any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's servants, employees,
agents, visitors, or licensees, or (ii) where Tenant requests Landlord to make a
decoration, alteration, improvement, or addition, or (iii) where the repair in
question or the services in question are those which Tenant is obligated to make
or furnish under any of the provisions of the lease.
18. ACCESS TO DEMISED PREMISES. (a) During the term of this lease the
Tenant may use and occupy the Demised Premises for the purposes set forth in
Section 5 on such days and hours (regardless of whether they be business days or
regular hours) as it may determine, and the Tenant and its officers, employees,
agents and visitors at all times shall have access to the Demised Premises by
means of doorways, passageways, corridors, stairways, elevators and entrances in
the Building affording access to the Demised Premises, subject, however, to
reasonable Rules and Regulations adopted by the Landlord and otherwise subject
to the obligations of this lease. The Landlord may limit the number of points of
entry to the Building during hours other than regular hours of business days,
provided that reasonably convenient access to all parts of the Demised Premises
shall be provided at all times. The Landlord will provide access cards to the
Tenant for after-hours access to the Demised Premises. The following systems
will be provided for the duration of Tenant's Occupancy:
(i) card-access system for after hours, weekends, and
holidays;
(ii) Sonitrol (or similar vendor) audible monitoring system
for all perimeter doors; and
(iii) Sonitrol (or similar vendor) to provide 24-hour fire
alarm monitoring.
(b) The Landlord and the Landlord's agents shall have the right, upon
reasonable notice to Tenant except in the case of an emergency, but not the
obligation, to enter and pass through the Demised Premises or any part or parts
thereof, during business hours and at such other times
12
as such entry shall be required by circumstances of emergency affecting the
Demised Premises or the remainder of the Building, (i) to examine the Demised
Premises and to show them to any mortgagee, prospective mortgagees or purchasers
of the Building, and (ii) for the purpose of performing such maintenance and
making such repairs or changes in or to the Demised Premises or in or to the
Building or its facilities as may be provided for or permitted by this lease or
as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties or as the Landlord may be required
to make by laws and requirements of public authorities. The Landlord shall be
allowed to take all materials into and upon the Demised Premises that may be
required for such repairs, changes or maintenance provided Landlord proceeds
with diligence to complete the same
(c) During the period of six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date,
the Landlord, upon reasonable notice to the Tenant, may exhibit the Demised
Premises to prospective tenants.
19. SAFETY; ADA; DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. (a) Emergency lighting,
exiting, and fire safety sufficient to meet state of Connecticut Basic Building
Codes will be provided and the Building will be in full compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In the event that the Demised Premises or
any part thereof, or access thereto, shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or
other insured casualty, but the Tenant shall continue to have reasonably
convenient access to the Demised Premises and no portion of the Demised Premises
shall thereby be rendered unfit for use and occupancy by the Tenant for the
purposes set forth in Section 5, the Landlord shall repair such damage or
destruction (except damage or destruction to Tenant's Property or Tenant's
Changes) with reasonable diligence. During the period when such repair work is
being conducted, the Rent shall not be abated or suspended.
(b) In the event that the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or
access thereto, shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other insured
casualty that the Tenant shall not have reasonably convenient access to the
Demised Premises or any portion of the Demised Premises shall thereby be
otherwise rendered unfit for use and occupancy by the Tenant for the purposes
set forth in Section 5, and if in the sole judgment of the Landlord the damage
or destruction may be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of the damage or destruction, then the Landlord shall so notify the
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction
and shall repair such damage or destruction (except damage or destruction to
Tenant's Property with reasonable diligence. In the event that the Landlord
shall not complete such repairs within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of the damage or destruction, then the Tenant shall have the right to
terminate the term of this lease by giving written notice of such termination to
the Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the end of such one hundred twenty
(120) day period, provided, however, that in the event that the completion of
repairs shall be delayed by strikes, governmental regulation, zoning laws,
inability to obtain labor or materials, from any other cause beyond the
Landlord's control, or for other good reason, the time for completion shall be
extended by the period of such delay. If in the sole judgment of the Landlord
the Demised Premises, or means of access thereto, cannot be repaired within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction and
the Landlord does not give the Tenant the notice referred to in this Section
19(b), then either party shall have the right to terminate the term of this
lease by giving written notice of such termination to the other party within the
period of thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of such
damage or destruction. If neither party gives such notice of intention to
13
terminate the terns of this lease, then the Landlord shall repair the damage or
destruction with reasonable diligence.
(c) In the event that the Tenant shall not have reasonably convenient
access to the Demised Premises or any portion of the Demised Premises (other
than Tenant's Changes) shall be otherwise rendered unfit for use and occupancy
by the Tenant for the purposes set forth in Section 5 by reason of such damage
or destruction, and if such damage or destruction was not caused by the
negligence or willful act or omission of the Tenant or any of its officers,
employees, contractors, agents or invitees, then the Rent shall be equitably
suspended or abated from the time of damage or destruction until the Landlord
shall have substantially completed the repair of the Demised Premises and the
means of access thereto.
(d) In addition to and apart from the foregoing provisions of this
Section 19 (i) if Tenant has not elected to renew this Lease as provided in
Paragraph 30 hereof and more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Gross
Rentable Area of the Demised Premises shall be totally or almost totally damaged
or destroyed by fire or other cause at any time during the last six (6) months
of the term of this lease, either the Landlord or the Tenant may terminate the
term of this lease by giving written notice of such termination to the other
party within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction,
and (ii) if the Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause to such
extent that the cost to repair the damage or destruction, as reasonably
estimated by the Landlord, will be more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
replacement value of the Building immediately prior to the occurrence of such
damage or destruction, then the Landlord may terminate the term of this lease by
giving written notice of such termination to the Tenant within thirty (30) days
after the occurrence of such damage or destruction.
(e) No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by the Landlord
to the Tenant, or any other person, by reason of inconvenience, loss of business
or annoyance arising from any damage or destruction, or any repair thereof, as
is referred to in this Section 19.
20. CONDEMNATION. (a) If all of the Building, or so much of the
Building or the Demised Premises as is necessary for the Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Demised Premises for the purposes set forth in Section 5, or
for reasonably convenient access to the Demised Premises, shall be taken by
condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use and
purpose, then the term of this lease shall forthwith terminate as of the date
title vests in the taking authority and the Rent shall be apportioned as of such
date.
(b) In addition to and apart from the foregoing provisions of Section
20(a), if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Gross Rentable Area of the
Building shall be so taken, then the Landlord may terminate the term of this
lease by giving written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after
the date title vests in the taking authority.
(c) The Tenant shall have the exclusive right in any proceeding with respect to
any taking referred to in this Section 20 to any award payable for the Tenant's
moving expenses and the then value of the Tenant's property, but the Tenant
shall have no other right to any award for either a total taking or a partial
taking of the Land, the Building or the Demised Premises, including any right
for the contract value of this lease, and any such award shall be retained by
the Landlord as the Landlord's sole property.
14
(d) In the event of any taking which does not result in a termination
of the term of this lease, the Rent shall be equitably suspended or abated and
the Landlord, at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair
and restore the remaining part of the Building and the Demised Premises to
substantially its former condition to the extent that the same may be feasible.
Any suspension or abatement of Rent shall cease upon substantial completion of
such repairs or restoration.
(e) If only a part of the Demised Premises is taken and the remaining
portion thereof is not suitable for the conduct of Tenant's business, Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall be
entitled to that portion of the award applicable to Tenant's improvements,
personal property, fixtures and moving expenses. In the event that separate
awards are made by the condemning authority, Tenant shall be entitled to claim,
prove and receive in the condemnation proceedings such awards as may be allowed
for Tenant's improvements, personal property, fixtures and moving expenses.
21. SURRENDER; TERMINATION. (a) On the Expiration Date, or upon any
earlier termination of the term of this lease, the Tenant shall quit and
surrender the Demised Premises to the Landlord in good order, condition and
repair, wear and tear, obsolescence and damage from the elements, fire and other
casualty excepted. The Tenant shall remove all of the Tenant's Property and, at
the Landlord's request, shall remove those portions of the Tenant's Changes as
shall be designated to be removed and shall repair or pay the cost of repairing
any damage to the Demised Premises or the Building resulting from such removal.
For purposes of this paragraph "Tenant's Changes" shall mean, any changes made
by Tenant to the Demised Premises during the Tenant's occupancy.
22. DEFAULT AND DAMAGES. (a) Any of the following occurrences or acts
shall constitute an event of default under this lease:
(i) whenever the Tenant shall default in the payment of any
Rent or any other charge payable by the Tenant to the Landlord, on any
day upon which the same is due, and such default shall continue for ten
(10) days ; or
(ii) whenever the Tenant shall do, or fail to do, or permit to
be done, whether by action or inaction, anything contrary to any of the
Tenant's obligations hereunder, and if such situation shall continue
and shall not be remedied by the Tenant within thirty (30) days after
the Landlord shall have given to the Tenant a notice specifying the
same, or, in the case of a situation which cannot with due diligence be
cured Within a period of thirty (30) days, if the Tenant shall not (1)
within such thirty (30) day period, advise the Landlord of the Tenant's
intention duly to institute all steps necessary to remedy such
situation, and (2) duly institute within such thirty (30) day period,
and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion, all steps necessary
to remedy the same;
(iii) whenever the Tenant is dissolved; makes assignment for
the benefit of creditors; files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; is

a petition filed against the Tenant in any proceeding of this nature;
or seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, or liquidator of the Tenant or of all or any substantial part
of the Tenant's properties; or
(iv) if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any
proceeding against the Tenant seeking reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief
under any statute, law, or regulation, the proceeding has not been
dismissed; or if within-sixty (60) days after the appointment without
the Tenant's consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver, or
liquidator of the Tenant or of all or any substantial part of the
Tenant's properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed; or if
within sixty (60) days after expiration of any such stay, the
appointment is not vacated.
(b) If an event of default shall have happened and be continuing, the
Landlord shall have the immediate right at its election (i) to terminate the
term of this lease by giving the Tenant not less than five (5) days written
notice of the Landlord's election to terminate, and (ii) whether or not the
Landlord shall have terminated the term of this lease pursuant to this Section
22(b), and without demand or notice whatever, to reenter and take possession of
the Demised Premises, removing all persons and property therefrom either by
summary process proceedings or by other action, without being liable for any
damages therefor.
(c) If the Landlord elects to reenter and take possession of the Demised
Premises pursuant to Section 22(b), and whether or not the Landlord shall have
terminated the term of this lease pursuant to Section 22(b), the Landlord may
(but shall be under no obligation to) relet the whole or any part of the Demised
Premises on behalf of the Tenant for a period equal to, or greater or less than,
the remainder of the term of this lease, at such rent and upon such terms and
conditions as the landlord shall determine reasonable, to any tenant the
Landlord may consider suitable and for any use or purpose the Landlord may deem
appropriate in the Demised Premises. The Landlord shall not be liable for
failure to relet the Demised Premises, and the Landlord shall be entitled to
receive and retain the rent received upon such reletting, whether or not such
rent is in excess of the Rent.
(d) If the Landlord elects to reenter and take possession of the
Demised Premises pursuant to Section 22(b), and whether or not the Landlord
shall have terminated the term of this lease pursuant to Section 22(b), or relet
the Demised Premises pursuant to Section 22(c), the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord, as liquidated damages, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, the following sums:
(i) all unpaid Rent, as of the date of such reentry,
repossession or termination, plus the Fixed Rent and the additional
rentals and charges from time to time payable under this lease until
what would have been the end of the term of this lease in the absence
of such reentry, repossession or termination;
(ii) all expenses of maintaining the Demised Premises while
vacant which are not included in Paragraph 22 (d)(i);
16
(iii) all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by the Landlord in recovering possession of the Demised
Premises, reletting the same and collecting the Rent;
(iv) all costs of repairs and redecoration of the Demised
Premises made to facilitate the reletting of the Demised Premises; and
(v) all brokerage commissions incurred in the reletting of
the Demised Premises.
The Landlord shall be entitled to recover the amounts referred to in this
Section 22(d) in one action or at the Landlord's option in several separate
actions, and the Tenant waives the right to assert the rule against bringing
multiple actions for the same cause.
23. PARKING. During the term of this Lease, the Tenant shall have the
right to use, on a nonexclusive basis and in common with the other tenants or
occupants of the Building, the parking area located on the Land. The Landlord
shall not be in any way liable to the Tenant if the parking capacity of such
parking area is inadequate to accommodate all of the servants, employees,
agents, customers, invitees, licensees and visitors of the Tenant and other
tenants or occupants of the Building who may desire to use the parking area at
any particular time. The Landlord represents that 3.5 spaces per 1000 rentable
square feet will be available for Tenant's employees at no additional cost to
the Tenant for the duration of the Tenant's occupancy.
24. UNPERFORMED COVENANTS. If the Tenant shall default in the
performance of any of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, the Landlord, without
thereby waiving such default, may, at the Landlord's option, and on reasonable
notice to Tenant, by reason of any default of the Tenant hereunder, perform the
same for the account of the Tenant. If the Landlord makes any expenditures or
incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including attorneys' fees, such
sums paid or obligations incurred shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord on
the first day of the second calendar month following the rendition to the Tenant
of the Landlord's xxxx therefor to the Tenant.
25. HOLDING OVER. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord an amount as
Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the base rent the Tenant is
required to pay during the previous Lease Year as herein provided for each month
or portion thereof for which the Tenant shall retain possession of the Demised
Premises, or any part thereof [after the termination of the term of this lease,
whether by lapse of time or otherwise] Without limiting the rights or remedies
of the Landlord resulting by reason of the wrongful holding over by the Tenant,
or creating any right in the Tenant to continue in possession of the Demised
Premises, all of the Tenant's obligations with respect to the use, occupancy and
maintenance of the Demised Premises shall continue during such period of
unlawful retention. Except as specifically provided herein, the provisions of
this Section 25 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other
rights or remedies of the Landlord provided herein or at law.
26. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY THE LANDLORD. The Landlord shall have
the following rights, each of which the Landlord may exercise with reasonable
notice to the Tenant and without liability to the Tenant for damage or injury to
property, person or business on account of
17
the exercise thereof, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to
constitute an eviction or disturbance of the Tenant's use or possession of the
Demised Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement
of rent or any other claim, provided that the Landlord agrees that in the
exercise of such rights it shall not do or cause to be done anything which is,
in any material respect, inconsistent with the operation of the Building as a
first-class office building and provided, further, nothing in this Section 26
shall be deemed to-exculpate Landlord from its negligence or willful misconduct:
(a) To change the Building's street address, if required by the U S
Postal Service;
(b) To install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior
and on the interior of the Building, provided, however, that no other insurance

whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building, or any part thereof,

space and corridors in the Building and to interrupt or temporarily suspend
services or use of facilities, all without affecting any of the Tenant's
obligations hereunder, so long as the Demised Premises are reasonably accessible
and usable and provided that Landlord shall conduct its activities at a time and
in a manner so as to minimize any disruption of or interference with Tenant's
business or access to the Demised Premises;
(d) To be provided and to retain at all times, and to use in
appropriate instances, keys to all doors within and into the Demised Premises.
The Tenant agrees to change no locks, and not to affix locks on doors without
the prior written consent of the Landlord. Notwithstanding the provisions for
the Landlord's access to Demised Premises, the Tenant relieves and releases the
Landlord of all responsibility arising out of theft, robbery and pilferage. Upon
the expiration of the term of this lease or otherwise upon the Tenant's right to
possession, the Tenant shall return all keys to the Landlord and shall disclose
to the Landlord the combination of any safes, cabinets or vaults left in the
Demised Premises;
(e) To reasonably designate and approve all window coverings and
lighting fixtures used in the Building to preserve the uniformity of appearance

so as not to exceed the live load per square foot designated by the structural
engineers for the Building, and to require all such items and furniture and
similar items to be moved into or out of the Building and Demised Premises only
at such times and in such manner as the Landlord shall direct in writing. The
Tenant shall not install or operate machinery or any mechanical devices of a
nature not directly related to the Tenant's ordinary use of the Demised Premises
without the prior written consent of the Landlord. The Tenant's movements of
property into or out of the Building or Demised Premises and within the Building
are entirely at the risk and responsibility of the Tenant, and the Landlord
reserves the right to require permits before allowing any property to be moved
into or out of the Building or the Demised Premises;
18
(g) To establish from time to time establish uniform controls for all
tenants in the Building for the purpose of regulating all property and packages,
both personal and otherwise, to be moved into or out of the Building and the
Demised Premises and all persons using the Building after normal office hours;
(h) To regulate delivery and service of supplies in order to insure the
cleanliness and security of the Demised Premises and to avoid congestion of the
loading docks, receiving areas and freight elevators; and
(i) To erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and
conduits, and appurtenances thereto, in and through the walls and
floors within the Demised Premises at reasonable locations; provided
that the same are installed at such times and by such methods as will
not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or
damage the appearance thereof or reduce the area of the Demised
Premises and are concealed behind the walls, floors and/or ceilings of
the Demised Premises as then constructed.
27. WAIVER OF NOTICE. The Tenant does hereby waive demand and notice of
every kind and description whatever (except notices of default as provided in
Section 22), including any notice to quit under the statutes relating to summary
process which, were it not for this waiver, might otherwise be necessary in
obtaining possession of the Demised Premises.
28. NOTICES. Any notice, approval, request, consent, xxxx, statement or
other communication required or permitted to be given, rendered, served or made
by either party hereto, shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified or

other, designate a different mailing address for notices, bills, statements or
other communications intended for it.

written certificate, in recordable form, ratifying this lease, and stating

which to its knowledge are inaccurate or not true. Any such certificate may be
relied upon by any mortgagee of the Land and the Building, any assignee of such
mortgagee, and any prospective purchaser of the Land and the Building.
30. RENEWAL OPTION. (a) The Tenant will have the right to extend the
term of the lease for three (3) months. Such renewal shall commence on the day
following the expiration date of the initial term of this lease. Such renewal
shall be upon the same terms, conditions and obligations as are applicable to
the initial term of this lease, except that

(ii) the Tenant shall be entitled to no further renewal of

notwithstanding, the Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and
property of the Landlord in the Land and Building for the collection of any
judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by the
Landlord in the event of any default or breach by the Landlord with respect to
any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be observed or
performed by the Landlord, and no other assets of the Landlord or of any partner
in the Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the
satisfaction of the Tenant's remedies.
32. RIGHTS OF LANDLORD; NONWAIVER. No right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing. The failure
of the Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any provision hereof or
to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained herein shall not be
construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. Receipt by the
Landlord of any Fixed Rent, any additional rent or any other sum payable
hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be
deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by the Landlord of any provision
hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed
by the Landlord. In addition to other remedies provided herein, the Landlord
shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by law, to injunctive relief in
case of the violation,
20
or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the provisions hereof, or to a
decree compelling performance of any of the provisions hereof, or to any other
remedy allowed to the Landlord by law.
33. BROKER. The Tenant represents that no broker or agent participated
with the Tenant in this transaction. The Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold the
Landlord harmless from and against loss arising out of the inaccuracy of such
representation.
