rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense, multiplied by the amount, if any,
by which the Operating Expenses increase over the Operating Expense Base. The
amount due Lessor hereunder if any shall be estimated by Lessor annually and

expiration of the term of this Lease.

processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon
Lessor by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the premises.

Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10)
days after that said amount is due, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late
charge equal to ten (10) percent of such overdue amount, plus any attorney's
fees incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's failure to pay rent and/or other
charges when due hereunder. The parties hereby agree that such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur
by reason the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by the
Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect
to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies granted hereunder.

which Lessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Lessee's
default, or to compensate Lessor for any other loss or damage which Lessor may
incur by reason of Lessee's default. If any portion of said deposit is so
used or applied, Lessee shall, within five (5) days after written demand
therefore, deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the
security deposit to its original amount and Lessee's failure to do so shall be
a default under this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep this
security deposit separate from its general funds and Lessee shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. If Lessee shall fully and faithfully

Lessor's reasonable control.

services not separately metered to the Premises, but generally metered to the
Building. Lessor further reserves the right to install separate meters for
any public utility servicing the Premises for which a meter is not presently
installed, in which event Lessee shall make payments when due directly to the
public utility involved. If separate meters are installed by Lessee, the
cost, deposit and installation shall be at Lessee's expense. If Lessee uses
water service which is not separately metered to Lessee for other than
restroom purposes, the resulting increased monthly water charge may, at the
option of the Lessor, be charged to Lessee. Lessor shall have no liability
and this lease shall not be terminated for failure of such utility services
for any reason beyond Lessor's reasonable control.

written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, Lessee shall not
assign this Lease, or make any sublease (any purported assignment or sublease
without such consent shall be void). Lessee shall reimburse Lessor promptly
for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with
any request for such a consent. Consent to any such assignment or subletting
shall not relieve or release Lessee of Lessee's responsibilities under this
lease unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor.

for injury, loss, accident, or damage to any person or property and from any

for property damage. Said insurance shall cover the alterations and
improvements to the premises by the Lessee both prior to the scheduled term
commencement date and thereafter and shall cover claims under Worker's

insurance which shall name Lessor and any mortgagee of the Lot and/or
Building, as an additional insured and shall provide for non-cancellation
without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor and said mortgagee.
Failure on the part of the Lessee to renew such insurance at least thirty days
prior to the expiration date thereof, from time to time, shall constitute an
event of default equivalent to failure to pay an installment of Monthly Rent
due hereunder.
6.5 Insurance. Lessor shall maintain insurance on the Building (excluding
any fixtures and items installed or paid for by Lessee which Lessee is
entitled to or required to remove, which insurance Lessee shall provide)

percent (100%) of replacement cost of the Building as determined by Lessor,
and shall include six month rent loss coverage.
6.6 Insurance Subrogation. Any insurance carried by either party with
respect to the Premises and property therein or occurrence thereon shall
include a clause or endorsement denying to the insurer right of subrogation
against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured
prior to the occurrence of injury or loss. Each party, not withstanding any
provisions of this Lease to the contrary, hereby waives any rights of recovery
against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by insurance
containing such clause or endorsement to the extent of the injury or loss
covered thereby.

which shall not be unreasonably withheld (a) paint or place any signs on the
Premises or anywhere on or in the Building or (b) place any curtains, blinds,

anywhere on or in the Building visible from outside the Premises. Lessor

warrants that it shall obtain all necessary permits prior to erecting any such
sign and the Lessee shall remove said sign on the termination of this lease.

examine the Premises at reasonable times, and if Lessor shall so elect, to
make any repairs or replacements Lessor may deem necessary. Lessor may show

Lot and/or Building for the Permitted Use only. Lessee agrees not to commit,

chemicals and flammable fluids as required for the manufacturing and
development of the Lessee's process provided that such use and disposal of
said chemicals and flammable fluids shall be within the guidelines of the EPA.

resulting from any Hazardous Materials.
(4) Lessee indemnifies and holds Lessor harmless from any cost, loss or
damage arising from any Hazardous Waste brought onto the Premises by or for

(5) Lessee's agreement under this subparagraph shall survive any foreclosure
of Lessee's interests in the Premises.
7. CASUALTY AND TAKING
7.1 Termination or Reconstruction. If during the Lease Term, the Premises,
Building or Lot, or any substantial part thereof are damaged materially by
fire or other casualty thereof, or receive compensable damage by reason of
anything lawfully done under color of public or other authority, this Lease
shall terminate at Lessor's election by written notice given thirty (30) days
after the casualty or taking has occurred. In case of damage to or taking
part of the Premises, (a) if the remainder is insufficient for use of Lessee's
purposes, or (b) in case of such damage or taking if the time needed to do the
construction work necessary to put the Premises or such remainder in proper
condition for use and occupation is reasonably estimated by Lessor to exceed
six (6) months, or (c) Lessor does not commence within sixty (60) days after
the damage or the surrender of the part taken and proceed with reasonable
diligence, to do such work, Lessee's sole right shall be the option to
terminate this Lease, without penalty, by notice given to Lessor within thirty
(30) days after the right to terminate arises.
In the event of a termination by Lessor or Lessee hereunder, monthly rent and
additional rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the right to terminate
arises.
If in any such case the Lease is not so terminated, a just proportion of the
rent according to the nature and extent of the injury shall be abated until
the Premises (or in case of taking what may remain thereof), excluding any
fixtures or items installed or paid for by Lessee which Lessee is entitled or
required to remove pursuant hereto, shall have been put by Lessor into proper
condition. In case of a taking which permanently reduces the area of Lessee's
Floor Space, a just proportion of the Monthly Rent shall be abated for the
remainder of the Lease Term and Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses and
Lessee's Share of Imposition shall be adjusted as determined by Lessor.
7.2 Lessor Reserves Compensation. Lessor reserves all rights to compensation
for damage to the Premises, the Building, the Lot and the leasehold hereby
created, accruing by reason of exercise of eminent domain or by reason of
anything lawfully done by public authority; provided, however, nothing herein
shall be deemed to give Lessor any interest in or require Lessee to assign to
Lessor any award made to Lessee for the taking of personal property or
fixtures belonging to Lessee and removable by Lessee on termination of this
Lease, for interruption of damage to Lessee's business, or for Lessee's moving
expense.
8. DEFAULT
8.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute an event of default on the part of the Lessee:
a. Vacation or abandonment of the Premises unless the Lessee continues
to pay rent and perform all of its other obligations under the Lease.
b. Failure to pay any installment of Monthly Rent or other monies due
and payable hereunder, said failure continuing for a period of three (3) days
after receipt of written notice of such default.
c. Default in the performance of any of Lessee's covenants, agreements
or obligations hereunder, said default (except default in the payment of any
installment of Monthly Rent, or other monies) continuing for thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee.
d. A general assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors.
c. The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Lessee, the

e. Receivership, attachment or other judicial seizure of substantially
all of Lessee's assets or the Premises, such attachments or other seizure
remaining undismissed or undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days after
the levy thereof.
8.2 Lessor's Remedies.
a. Damages: In the event of any such default by Lessee, then in
addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor
shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of
Lessee hereunder. In the event that Lessor terminates this lease then Lessor
may recover from Lessee:
b. The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been
earned at the time of such termination; plus
c. The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss Lessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided, plus
d. The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent
for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
e. any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the damage
caused by Lessee's failure to perform it's obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom;
plus
f. such reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred by Lessor
prior to suit, after suit, on appeal, or in protection of Lessor's rights in
any bankruptcy proceeding; and
g. interest on such sums at ten percent (10% per annum).
The term "Rent", as used herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean the monthly
rent, additional rent and all other sums required to be paid by Lessee
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
h. Re-entry. In the event of any such default by Lessee, Lessor shall
also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease to re-enter the
Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property
may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of
and for the account of the Lessee.
i. Election. In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the
Premises by Lessee or in the event that Lessor shall elect to re-enter as
provided in paragraph 8.2.2 above or shall take possession of the Premises
pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then
Lessor may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover
all rental as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for
such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right
to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.
In the event that Lessor shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by
Lessor from such reletting shall be applied; first, to reasonable attorney's
fees and court costs incurred by Lessor as a result of such default, and costs
in the event suit is filed by Lessor to enforce such remedies, second to the
payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to
Lessor; third to the payment of any cost of such reletting, fourth to the
payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fifth to
the payment of Rent; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and
applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable
hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting
during any month, which is applied by the payment of Rent hereunder, be less
than the Rent payable during the month by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall
pay such deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid
monthly. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor, as soon as ascertained, any costs
and expenses incurred by Lessor in such reletting or in making such
alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such
reletting.
j. Termination. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by
Lessor pursuant to this Article shall be construed as an election to terminate
this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Lessee or
unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Lessor
because of any default by Lessee, Lessor may at any time after such reletting
elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.
8.3 Right to Cure. In addition to the foregoing remedies and so long as
this Lease is not terminated, Lessor shall have the right but not the
obligation to remedy any default of Lessee and to add to the Monthly Rent
payable hereunder all of Lessor's reasonable costs in so doing, with interest
at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of such
expenditure until the same is repaid.
8.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, privileges, elections and remedies
of Lessor in this Article 8 are cumulative and not alternative.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Holding Over. Should Lessee, or any of its successors in interest,
hold over the Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term
of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed in writing, such holding over shall
constitute and be construed as tenancy from month to month only, at a rent
equal to the Monthly Rent, plus fifty percent (50%) of said Monthly Rent.
This inclusion of the preceding sentence shall not be construed as Lessor's
permission for Lessee to hold over.
9.2 Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Term or early termination
thereof, Lessee shall promptly surrender the Premises in good and clean
condition, and remove any signs, fixtures, or equipment and improvements as
provided in Section 4.2 hereof.
9.3 Notices. Whenever any notice, approval, consent, request or election
is given or made pursuant to this Lease it shall be in writing sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or it shall be delivered personally.
Notices and payments shall be addressed to Lessor's Address and Lessee's
Address or at such other source as may have been specified by prior notice.
9.4 Successors and Assigns. The obligations of this Lease shall run with
the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that only
the Lessor named herein shall be liable for obligations accruing before the
beginning of the Lease Term, and thereafter each successive owner of the
Premises shall be liable only for obligations accruing during the period of
its ownership, said liability terminating upon termination of such ownership
and passing to the successor in ownership.
9.5 Limitation of Lessor's Liability. The obligations of Lessor under
this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual parties,
directors, officers, shareholders or partners of Lessor, or its successors or
assigns, and Lessee shall look solely to the real estate that is the subject
of this Lease and to no other assets of the Lessor, or its successors or
assigns, for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease and will
not seek recourse against the individual parties, directors, officers, or
shareholders of Lessor, or its successors of assigns, or any of their personal
assets for such satisfaction.
9.6 No Waiver. The failure of Lessor or of Lessee to seek redress for
violation, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or
condition of this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor
prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation,
from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by
Lessor of Monthly Rent, additional rent or other monies due hereunder with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a
waiver of such breach.
9.7 Severability. If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof,
to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease
shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9.8 Offset Statements. Lessee agrees from time to time that within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of written request by Lessor, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing certifying that (a)
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (b) Lessee has no
defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Monthly
Rent and other monies hereunder and to perform its other covenants under this
Lease, or (c) if there have been any modifications that the Lease is in full
force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, and if, there are
any defenses, offsets, counterclaims, or defaults, setting them forth in
reasonable detail, and (d) the dates to which the rent has been paid and the
amount of any Prepaid Rent. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this
Section 9.8 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, or mortgagee or
encumbrancer of the Premises or any prospective assignee of any mortgage or
encumbrance upon the premises.
9.9 Attornment. Lessee shall, in the event any proceedings are brought
for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale
under, any mortgage or deed of trust made by the Lessor, its successors or
assigns, encumbering the Premises, Building or Lot, or any part thereof, or in
the event of termination of the Ground Lease, attorn to the purchaser upon
such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Lessor under this
Lease.
9.10 Subordination. The rights of Lessee hereunder are and shall be
subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages, or the lien
resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter
in force against the Premises, Building or Lot, and to all advances made, or
hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, provided, however, that
notwithstanding such subordination, as long as the Lessee herein is not in
default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease,
neither this Lease nor any of the rights of Lessee shall be terminated or
subject to termination by any trustee's sale or by any proceeding or action in
foreclosure. If requested, Lessee agrees to execute whatever documentation
may be required to further effect the provisions of this Section.

agent, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, represents the Lessor, and the selling agent, Xxxxxx

which $2,723.00 represents the rent for the balance of the month of October,

beginning November 1, 1996 the Lessee shall pay $4,965.00 to the Lessor on the
first day of each and every month until this Lease has expired.
Option to Renew: The Lessee shall have the option to renew this Lease for
two (2) additional one-year terms under the same terms and conditions as the
original lease except for the monthly base rent which shall be $5,710.00 for
year 4, and $5,995.00 for year 5. The Lessee shall exercise this option by
giving the Lessor 90 days prior written notice of the Lessee's intent to
renew. The Lessee's right to renew this Lease is contingent upon the Lessee
having complied with all previous terms and conditions of the Lease.
Early Occupancy: The Lessee herein shall have the right to enter the premises

deposited with the Lessor.
2. The Lessee has placed the utilities in Lessee's own name.
3. The Lessee has complied with the insurance provisions of this Lease.

necessary; however, if the Lessor is unable to complete these improvements on
or before October 15, 1996, all rent shall xxxxx until the earlier of November
