ARTICLE 2. USE, ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
----------------------------
Section 2.1 Use of the Leased Premises.
---------------------------------------
The Leased Premises may be used for general and/or administrative
offices and/or for research and development laboratory purposes (all of which
are collectively referred to as the "Intended Use") or for any other lawful
purpose with Landlord's approval which will not be unreasonably withheld. If a
use is permitted, uses incidental thereto are permitted. Incidental uses include
storage rooms, storage areas, file rooms, reception areas, mechanical rooms and
areas, service areas, lobbies, corridors, stairways, bathrooms, kitchen areas
and break rooms for employee use, and meeting and conference rooms.
Section 2.2 Assignment and Sublease.
------------------------------------
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), Tenant may not assign any
interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Leased Premises (each of
which is referred to as a "Transfer") without Landlord's consent. Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold its consent. An assignor or sublessor is referred to
as "Transferor." An assignee or a sublessee is referred to as a "Transferee."
Requests for Landlord's approval of a Transfer shall be in writing, and a copy
of the request shall be sent to Landlord's co-copy addresses in accordance with
Section 14.1. If Tenant makes a written request for Landlord's consent to a
Transfer, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Transfer unless
Tenant receives a written notice from Landlord disapproving the proposed
Transfer on or before the fifteenth day after Landlord has received the request
for approval. Any notice of disapproval of a Transfer shall set forth the
reasons for the disapproval in reasonable detail.
(b) Landlord's approval shall not be required to any of the following
Transfers:
(i) any Transfer to a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of
Tenant;
2
(ii) any merger or acquisition involving Tenant whether or
not Tenant is the surviving entity;
(iii) any Transfer in which the Transferee is also purchasing
substantially all of Tenant's assets used or located at the Leased Premises; or
(iv) any leasehold mortgage or collateral assignment of the
Lease, and any Transfer arising from the exercise of a right pursuant to a
collateral assignment or leasehold mortgage.
(c) Whether or not a Transfer requires Landlord's consent, after a
Transfer has occurred, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the
instrument of assignment or sublease, if any, effecting the Transfer.
(d) (i) If a sublease occurs and Tenant is not excused from the
obligation to obtain Landlord's consent to the sublease pursuant to subsection
(b), Tenant shall pay Landlord one half of the "profit," if any, ultimately
received by Tenant as a result of the sublease. The "profit," if any, resulting
from the sublease shall be calculated as follows:
(1) The payments actually made by the subtenant to
the Tenant on account of rent and additional rent for the subleased premises
(the "Subrent") for a "Sublease Year" shall be ascertained. If the term of the
sublease is 13 months or less, the "Sublease Year"" shall be the term of the
sublease. If the term of the sublease exceeds 13 months, the first "Sublease
Year" shall be from the commencement of the sublease term through the end of the
12th full calendar month thereafter, and each successive 12 month period shall
be a "Sublease Year" except that the last "Sublease Year" shall end on the last
day of the term of the sublease and shall begin on the day following the end of
the immediately preceding Sublease Year.
(2) The "Sublandlord Expenses" expended by the Tenant
(sometimes referred to in this Section as the "Sublandlord") for the Sublease
Year shall be ascertained. "Sublandlord Expenses" are the cost and expenses of
providing any goods and services or performing any work to or with respect to
the subleased premises as required by the sublease, and the costs and expenses
of enforcing any rights of Sublandlord or obligations of subtenant pursuant to
the sublease, including attorneys fees expended to enforce the Sublandlord's
rights and to defend against claims of subtenant and/or third parties (other
than Landlord) relating to the subleased premises.
(3) The Sublandlord Expenses for the Sublease Year
shall be subtracted from the Subrent from the subtenant for the Sublease Year,
and the result is referred to as the "Net Subrent."
3
(4) The "Rent to Landlord Allocable to the Subleased
Premises" for a Sublease Year shall be subtracted from the Net Subrent for the
Sublease Year, and the result is referred to as the "Surplus" for the Sublease
Year. The "Rent to Landlord Allocable to the Subleased Premises" means the rent
and additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease for the
Sublease Year multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the
gross square footage of the subleased premises. The denominator of the fraction
is 20,000 square feet. The gross square footage of the subleased premises
includes the subleased premises' pro rata share of hallways, lobbies, common
corridors, elevators and stairwells, maintenance rooms, utility rooms, and other
common areas. The fraction is referred to as the "Subtenant's Fraction."
(5) The "Unamortized Costs of Improvements Allocable
to the Subleased Premises" and the "Leasing Costs Attributable to the Sublease"
shall be ascertained as soon as practicable after the commencement of the term
of the sublease. The "Unamortized Costs of Improvements Allocable to the
Subleased Premises" means the cost of Tenant's improvements to the Leased
Premises unamortized as of the commencement of the sublease multiplied by
Subtenant's Fraction. The "Leasing Costs Attributable to the Sublease" mean the
cost of brokers commission, attorneys fees, improvements to the subleased
premises paid by Tenant, and other expenditures expended by Tenant in connection
with the sublease.
(6) From the commencement of the term of the sublease
through the end of the term of the sublease, for each Sublease Year in which the
Surplus is a positive number, Sublandlord shall retain the entire Surplus until
Sublandlord has been reimbursed in full for the Unamortized Costs of
Improvements Allocable to the Subleased Premises, the Leasing Costs Attributable
to the Sublease, and all prior negative Surpluses. After Sublandlord has been
reimbursed in full, and provided no negative Surplus thereafter accrues, any
positive Surplus thereafter paid to Sublandlord shall be deemed "profit" and one
half of it shall be paid to Landlord within thirty days after its receipt by
Sublandlord. If a negative Surplus accrues, any positive Surplus that is
thereafter paid to Sublandlord shall be retained in full until Sublandlord has
been reimbursed for all prior negative Surpluses.
ARTICLE 3. TERM

Section 3.1 Rent Commencement Date.
------------------------------------
(a) The "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the first day after
the end of the "Construction Period." The "Construction Period" shall begin on

(1) all of the office space and laboratory space have been fully completed, and
(2) Tenant shall be using substantially
4
all of the office space and laboratory space in the Leased Premises for the
Intended Use; or (iii) the 365th day after the Effective Date.
(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) to the
contrary, if by the end of the Construction Period, as computed in accordance
with subsection (a), Landlord has not completed Landlord's Work, the
Construction Period shall be deemed extended and the Rent Commencement Date
deferred until Landlord has completed all of Landlord's Work.
(ii) If by the end of the Construction Period, as computed in
accordance with subsection (a) and parts (i) and (iii) of this subsection (b),
(1) a permanent Certificate of Occupancy permitting the Leased Premises to be
used for the Intended Use has not been issued as a result of an act or omission
by Landlord or failure by Landlord to perform or satisfy any obligation or
condition under this Lease, and (2) Tenant is not then in material default of
its obligations pursuant to the Lease after receipt of notice of the default
from Landlord and after the expiration of any cure period provided pursuant to
this Lease, then (3) the Construction Period shall be deemed extended to, and
shall not be deemed to end until, (and the Rent Commencement Date shall be
deferred until) the first day that all of the following shall have occurred:
Landlord shall have cured its breach of the Lease and shall have rectified its
act or omission preventing the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and the
Certificate of Occupancy shall have been issued.
(iii) Tenant is not required to commence "Tenant's Work" (as

of Tenant's Work as a result of the material default of Landlord in its
obligations pursuant to this Lease is referred to as a "Stop Work Period." If
during the Construction Period, as computed in accordance with subsection (a)
and parts (i) and (ii) of this subsection (b), a Stop Work Period occurs, for
each day of the Stop Work Period that occurs, the Construction Period shall be
extended by one day, except that the Construction Period shall in no event be
extended pursuant to this part (iii) past the first day that (1) all of the
office space and laboratory space have been fully completed, and (2) Tenant
shall be using substantially all of the office space and laboratory space in the
Leased Premises for the Intended Use. The Rent Commencement Date shall be
deferred until the end of the Construction Period as extended hereunder.

charge. All charges for Tenant's use and occupancy during the Holdover Period
shall be prorated for the period Tenant remains in possession of the Leased
Premises after the expiration of the term, and Tenant shall have no obligation
to pay any rent, use or occupancy charges for the period after the Holdover

subsection (a) shall apply during the Holdover Period. If Tenant has remained on
the Leased Premises without Landlord's consent, Tenant shall be in breach of its
obligations pursuant to this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise
all of its remedies as a result of the breach pursuant to this Lease and
pursuant to law, except that Landlord may not hold Tenant to any year to year,
month to month, or any other periodic tenancy and may not recover the charges
for use and occupancy of the Leased Premises during the Holdover Period in
excess of those set forth in this part (i). Landlord agrees that Landlord will
insert a provision in any subsequent lease of the Leased Premises, or a portion
thereof, to any third party to the effect that Landlord's failure to timely
deliver possession of the premises because of any holdover of any prior tenant
shall not be a breach of the lease and shall merely postpone the commencement of
the term, rent commencement, and expiration date of the subsequent lease.

not include any portion of the charges assessed through a special taxing
district which are intended to recover or finance any Excluded Costs.
(2) "Real estate taxes" shall include assessments
that are not excluded pursuant to the preceding subpart (1), but subject to the
following. If an assessment is imposed on the Leased Premises after the date of
this Lease, Landlord agrees to elect to pay the assessment over the longest time

----------------------
(a) (i) Tenant shall pay for electricity and natural gas consumed by
Tenant on the Leased Premises from the Delivery of Possession through the
expiration of the term of the Lease directly to the utility providers.
(ii) Tenant may select the utility providers, and if any
provider requires the grant of a utility easement to provide the service,
Landlord shall execute the grant of the easement to the utility provided the
grant of the easement does not materially diminish the value of the Leased
Premises. Landlord shall grant the easement within a commercially reasonable
period of
8
time after receipt of the request, but in any event, on or before the thirtieth
day after receipt of the request to grant the easement.
(iii) (1) Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. provides

been paid by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the costs paid. Except as
provided in subpart (2) of this part (iii), if Tenant elects to obtain a utility
supplied by Orange and Rockland from another utility provider, Tenant shall pay
the costs to connect the utility to the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall be
obligated to reimburse Tenant the costs that would have been incurred had the
utility been obtained from Orange and Rockland. Landlord shall pay any
reimbursement due Tenant pursuant to this part (iii) on or before the 15th day
after receipt of a xxxx from Tenant requesting the reimbursement.
(2) If Tenant obtains a utility from Orange and
Rockland and subsequently elects to obtain the utility from another utility
provider, Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant the cost of
connecting the utility to the other utility provider.
(b) (i) Landlord shall maintain, repair, and replace any well and water
system on the Leased Premises and any septic tanks and sewerage system on the
Leased Premises such that they are at all times in good order and repair, in
compliance with all legal requirements, and adequate for Tenant's Intended Use
of the Leased Premises to Tenant's reasonable satisfaction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a portion of a system is no longer in use because of the
connection of the Leased Premises to a public water and sewer system, Landlord,
at Tenant's reasonable request or if required by law, shall remove the unused
portion of the system (other than the xxxxx field, unless its removal is
required by law) from the Leased Premises and shall repair any damage to the
Leased Premises caused by the removal.
(ii) Landlord shall cause the Leased Premises to become
connected to the public water and public sewer system on or before the ninetieth
day after public water and public sewer service is available to the Leased
Premises. This shall include disconnection of the Leased Premises from the well
water and any septic system, removal of any septic tanks and systems as is
required by law or reasonably required by Tenant, capping of any xxxxx as is
required by law or reasonably required by Tenant, connection of the Leased
Premises to the public water and sewer system in a good and xxxxxxx like manner
and in compliance with all legal requirements and in conformity with the
drawings and specifications for such connections referred to in Exhibit B, and
installation of a good quality water meter of sufficient size for the Leased
Premises. All disconnection and connection referred to herein shall be in
accordance with the reasonable requirements of Tenant, including Tenant's
scheduling, in order to avoid a disruption of Tenant's business.
9
(iii) Landlord acknowledges that well water from the Leased
Premises is not potable pursuant to Tenant's requirements. If Tenant determines
in its sole discretion as of Delivery of Possession that Landlord may not be
able to connect the Leased Premises to the public water and sewer system by
completion of "Tenant's Work" (hereinafter defined), Tenant may arrange for the
Leased Premises to obtain potable water for the Leased Premises' Intended Use
from bottled water or from any other source acceptable to Tenant. If the Leased
Premises has not been connected to a public water and sewer system in accordance
with this Lease by the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Landlord shall
thereafter pay Tenant the "Potable Water Charge" from the first anniversary of
the Effective Date through the date the Leased Premises shall have been fully
connected to the public water and sewer system. From the first anniversary of
the Effective Date through the end of the calendar year in which the first
anniversary of the Effective Date occurs, the Potable Water Charge shall be
$502.28 per month. Each calendar year thereafter, the Potable Water Charge shall
be $502.28 per month multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction for
a calendar year shall be the "CPI" for the November immediately preceding the
beginning of the calendar year. The denominator of the fraction shall be the
"CPI" for the second month prior to the Effective Date. "CPI" means the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers - U.S. City Average, all items
1982-1984=100. The CPI is presently published by the United States Bureau of
Labor Statistics. If publication of the CPI ceases, Landlord shall designate
(subject to Tenant's written approval not to be unreasonably withheld) a
substitute index then published which is reasonably comparable to the CPI.
Landlord's payment for a month shall be paid in advance and shall be due Tenant
on or before the fifteenth day of the month. If Landlord fails to make a Potable
Water Charge payment for a month when due, Tenant may deduct the charge from
Minimum and Additional Rent due Landlord. Tenant agrees that Tenant will pay the
cost of all water required for laboratory purposes, and Landlord acknowledges
that the Potable Water Charge is not for water required for laboratory purposes.
(iv) After the installation of a water meter in accordance
with preceding part (ii) (but not earlier than Delivery of Possession), if the
xxxx for water is sent to Landlord, upon receipt of a xxxx for water consumed on
the Leased Premises during the term of the Lease, as measured by the Leased
Premises' water meter, from the public utility supplying water to the Leased
Premises, Landlord shall forward the xxxx to Tenant and Tenant shall send
Landlord a check payable to the order of, or shall pay directly to, the public
utility supplying water for the amount of the xxxx subject to Tenant's right to
dispute any xxxx it considers in good faith to be in error. Tenant shall send
the payment of the xxxx prior to the date the xxxx is due, except that Tenant is
not required to send the payment earlier that the fifteenth day after Tenant has
received the xxxx. If the water xxxx for water used on the Leased Premises
during the term of the Lease is sent directly to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the
xxxx directly to the public utility supplying water for the amount of the xxxx
prior to the date the xxxx is due subject to Tenant's right to dispute any xxxx
it considers in good faith to be in error.
(c) (i) Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and hot water equipment
is referred to as the "HVAC Equipment." Landlord and Tenant agrees that the HVAC
Equipment to be installed
10
in the Leased Premises will be manufactured by either Carrier, Lennox, or
another manufacturer approved by Landlord. If Tenant installs any HVAC
Equipment, Tenant agrees to use a contractor for the installation approved by
Landlord. Tenant shall make a written request for Landlord's approval of the
contractor, and if Tenant does not receive a written disapproval of a proposed
contractor for installation of the HVAC Equipment within five days of Landlord's
receipt of the request for approval, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved
the contractor. Landlord agrees that Landlord will not unreasonably withhold any
approval requested by Tenant pursuant to this part (i).
(ii) After the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall maintain
and be responsible for all regular and routine maintenance of HVAC Equipment
serving the Leased Premises. Any repairs required by the HVAC Equipment (other
than repairs required as a result of Tenant's alterations) in excess of $1,000
shall not be deemed regular and routine and shall be performed by Landlord
promptly after Tenant requests Landlord to perform the repairs unless Tenant
elects to perform the repairs. If Tenant performs the repairs that reasonably
cost in excess of $1,000, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
cost of the repairs on or before the fifteenth day after a receipt of a
statement from Tenant requesting the reimbursement. After the Rent Commencement
Date, Tenant shall maintain a customary, routine service contract for the HVAC
Equipment at Tenant's sole expense, and the maintenance of such a service
contract shall satisfy Tenant's obligations as to maintenance of the HVAC
Equipment. Landlord hereby assigns all warranties now or hereafter obtained by
Landlord with respect to the HVAC Equipment to Tenant, and Landlord shall so
notify the providers of the warranties at Tenant's request. Except for minor
replacements performed as part of regular and routine repairs and except as
provided in part (iii) below, Landlord warrants that no piece of HVAC Equipment
will require replacement during the term of the Lease, and if any HVAC Equipment
reasonably requires replacement during the term, Landlord shall promptly perform
the replacement at Landlord's expense.
(iii) Landlord agrees that Landlord is not required to replace
any the HVAC Equipment servicing Tenant's laboratory on the Leased Premises if
Landlord establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that the HVAC Equipment
would not have required replacement but for corrosive chemicals used by Tenant
in the operation of its business on the Leased Premises.
(d) Tenant may install a satellite dish and/or other communications
devices solely for its own use in or on the Building without Landlord's consent.
Tenant shall remove the devices on or before the end of the term and shall
repair any damage caused by the removal.

(i). An Event of Default by Landlord under this Lease;
(ii) Landlord's Work is materially inconsistent with the
requirements of Exhibit B or violates legal requirements in a material respect;
or
(iii) Landlord is in breach of any covenant, warranty, or
representation set forth in Section 5.1.
Section 7.3 Reimbursement of Tenant's Work.
-------------------------------------------
(a) Landlord agrees to pay Tenant $630,000 (the "Tenant Reimbursement")
in accordance with this Section. Tenant warrants that no portion of the Tenant
Reimbursement shall be used to
18
pay for the cost of any soft costs or "Special Lab Costs." "Special Lab Costs"
are the costs of any "Special Lab Items." "Special Lab Items" are portable
laboratory equipment and the installation of any special plumbing or HVAC
Equipment for the laboratory that would not have been installed had the
laboratory space been office space. All soft costs and Special Lab Costs shall
be paid for by Tenant from other than the Tenant Reimbursement. A "soft cost" as
the phrase is used in this Lease, means an engineering, architectural, or
attorney fee. "Tenant's Work" for the purposes of this Section 7.3 excludes
Special Lab Items and engineering, architectural, and attorney's work.
(b) Exhibit F sets forth a Schedule of Values for the estimated costs
of performing Tenant's Work on a line item basis. The Schedule of Values
proportionately allocates the Tenant Reimbursement among the line items.
(c) (i) Landlord shall pay progress payments to Tenant as the
construction of Tenant's Work's progresses until Tenant's Work has been
substantially completed. The phrase, "substantial completion", means completion
of the work except for minor items that do not significantly affect the use of
Tenant's Work for its intended purposes.
(ii) After the end of a calendar month, Tenant may make an
application for a progress payment (an "Application for Payment") of the portion
of the Tenant Reimbursement allocable to the Tenant's Work completed from the
commencement of construction of Tenant's Work through the end of the calendar
month less the amount of the Tenant Reimbursement then paid through the date of
the Application for Payment. Each Application for Payment shall contain the
information in the chart attached as Exhibit G and be accompanied by a
certification from Tenant's Architect that the Tenant's Work completed through
the end of the calendar month has been completed in a good and workmanlike
manner, and a statement from an officer of Tenant stating (1) that the amount
set forth in the Application for Payment (which amount shall also be set forth
in the officer's statement) is the amount of the Tenant Reimbursement then due
and payable by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Lease, and (2) (aa) whether or
not Tenant contends, as of the date of the Application for Payment, that
Landlord is in default of its obligations pursuant to the Lease, and (bb)
whether or not as a result of the default Tenant will claim an offset as a
credit against the Rent. If Tenant does contend that such a default exists and
that Tenant will claim an offset as a credit against the Rent, the statement
shall also provide a short description of the nature of the default contended.
(iii) After substantial completion of Tenant's Work, if any
portion of the Tenant Reimbursement has not yet been paid, Tenant may make an
application for a final payment (the "Final Application for Payment") of the
balance of the Tenant Reimbursement. The application shall consist of a request
for payment of the balance of the Tenant Reimbursement and shall be accompanied
by a certification from Tenant's Architect that substantial completion of
Tenant's Work has occurred, and a statement of an officer of Tenant stating (1)
that the balance of the Tenant Reimbursement is then due and payable by Landlord
to Tenant pursuant to the Lease, and (2) (aa) whether or not Tenant contends, as
of the date of the Final Application for Payment, that
19
Landlord is in default of its obligations pursuant to the Lease, and (bb)
whether or not as a result of the default Tenant will claim an offset as a
credit against the Rent. If Tenant does contend that such a default exists and
that Tenant will claim an offset as a credit against the Rent, the statement
shall also provide a short description of the nature of the default contended.
(iv) Landlord shall pay an application for payment, whether a
progress payment or a final payment, which conforms to the requirements of this
subsection by the end of the calendar month in which it is submitted provided
the application is submitted to Landlord by the 15th of the calendar month. An
application not submitted to Landlord by the 15th of a calendar month shall be
paid on or before the end of the following calendar month. Applications for
payment shall be submitted no more frequently than once per month. If an
application for payment, whether a progress payment or a final payment, is not
paid when due, it shall bear interest payable to Tenant in accordance with this
Lease; Tenant may, but is not required to reflect the interest due on any
subsequent application for payment, but failure to do so shall not be deemed a
waiver of the interest due or otherwise limit Tenant's rights.
(v) Each application for payment shall be accompanied by (i)
Tenant's list of each general contractor with a direct contract with Tenant who
performed any portion of the Tenant Work in excess of $5,000 through the date of
the preceding application for payment (collectively referred to as "Lienors"),
(ii) partial releases of mechanics liens from each Lienor for work performed by
the Lienor in excess of $5,000 through the date of the preceding application for
payment and not covered by a previous release or partial release of mechanics
lien, and (iii) invoices, purchase orders, contracts, or bills which are
individually in excess of $5,000 for work performed or services rendered by each
Lienor for the pay period before the application for payment. The releases from
the Lienors shall be in a form that will be reasonably acceptable to the title
insurance company insuring the lien of Lender's mortgage on the Leased Premises.
(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the
other rights and remedies that may be available to Landlord, Landlord shall not
be obligated to make any payment of the Tenant Reimbursement to Tenant that has
not yet been paid and that may otherwise be due or hereafter becomes due if and
for so long as any one or more of the following exist:
(i). An Event of Default by Tenant exists under the Lease;
(ii) Tenant's Work is materially inconsistent with the
Approved Plan and Landlord has not waived or approved the inconsistency (except
Landlord may not withhold an amount more than the amount reasonably required to
cure the inconsistency) ;
(iii) Tenant's Work violates legal requirements in a material
respect (except Landlord may not withhold more than the amount reasonably
required to cure the legal violation); or
20
(iv) A person or entity retained by Tenant to perform
Tenant's Work has placed a lien on the Leased Premises;
provided, however, that Landlord shall promptly make payment to Tenant after the
one or more of these events are cured. If a person or entity retained by Tenant
to perform Tenant's Work has placed a lien on the Leased Premises, the event
shall be deemed cured if such lien is bonded, or Landlord's lender's title
company is willing to omit the lien from its title policy after deposit in
escrow with the title company of the amount claimed in the lien, or otherwise so
long as the same has the practical effect of removing the lien of record or
omitting the lien from Landlord's lender's title policy. If an event causing a
payment to be withheld is cured, Landlord shall promptly release to Tenant the
amount so withheld upon receipt of reasonable evidence of same.
(e) Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Landlord
with submitting its request for advances under Landlord's Building Loan
Agreement with its mortgagee. Payments by Landlord's lender or the failure of
Landlord's lender to make any payment shall not limit or modify Landlord's
obligations pursuant to the Lease.
ARTICLE 8. TENANT REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS
---------------------------
Section 8.1 Building Repairs.
-----------------------------
(a) After Delivery of Possession, and subject to the performance of
Tenant's Work, Tenant shall be responsible for all routine and customary
maintenance for the interior, nonstructural portions of the Leased Premises
(including plumbing and electrical systems installed by Tenant) such that they
are maintained in good order and repair, ordinary wear and tear and casualty
excepted. Tenant shall maintain all exterior landscaping. Tenant shall perform
snow removal. Tenant shall repair any roof leaks resulting solely from Tenant's
HVAC Equipment installation, maintenance, or repair. HVAC Equipment includes
Tenant's ventilation equipment. During the term, Tenant shall comply with all
material legal requirements applicable to the interior, nonstructural portions
of the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the forgoing, maintenance of the HVAC
Equipment shall be governed by Article 4 of the Lease and not by this subsection
(a).
(b) (i) Except for the maintenance by Tenant of portions of the Leased
Premises pursuant to the preceding subsection (a) and the maintenance of HVAC
Equipment by Tenant to the extent required in accordance with Article 4,
Landlord shall maintain and repair all portions of the Building. This includes
maintenance and repair of the roof (including keeping the roof watertight except
as otherwise provided in subsection (a)), the exterior, and the structural
portions of the Building. Landlord represents and warrants that all of the
improvements constructed by Landlord as part of Landlord's Work, and any other
work performed by Landlord at the Leased Premises, will be of good workmanship
and quality, will comply with all legal requirements, and will remain free from
defects and fit for their intended purpose during the term of the Lease.
Landlord shall promptly repair (and replace if reasonably required) any part of
21
Landlord's Work that does not comply with these warranties or representations
during the term of the Lease. The same Landlord warranties, representations,
repair and replacement requirements shall apply to any repairs or replacements
as apply to the original Landlord Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall not be obligated to perform any repair if the need for the repair was
caused by Tenant's negligence and the loss is not covered by insurance that
Tenant maintains or Landlord is required to maintain pursuant to this Lease.
During the term, Landlord shall comply with all legal requirements applicable to
the Building (other than those applicable to Tenant's maintenance of interior,
nonstructural portions of the Leased Premises pursuant to Section 8.1(a) above).
(ii) Any maintenance and repairs conducted in the Building
shall be conducted with due regard for and in a manner which minimizes any
effect upon Tenant's operation and use of the Leased Premises.
Section 8.2 Alterations.
------------------------
(a) After completion of construction of the initial improvements in
accordance with the Approved Plan, Tenant may construct alterations in and to
the Leased Premises from time to time. No Landlord consent shall be required as
to any alterations performed by Tenant provided the aggregate cost of the
particular alterations constructed does not exceed the "Consent Threshold." The
"Consent Threshold"for the first Lease Year shall be $20,000. Thereafter the
"Consent Threshold" for a Lease Year shall equal 105% of the Consent Threshold
for the preceding Lease Year If Landlord's consent is required for the
performance of any alterations, Tenant shall request Landlord's approval in
writing with the drawings and specifications for the proposed alterations, and
Tenant shall send a copy of the request to Landlord's co-copies set forth in
Section 14.1. It shall not be necessary for Tenant to send Landlord's co-copies
the drawings and specifications for the proposed alterations. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent. If Landlord fails to expressly disapprove
proposed alterations, together with a detailed written explanation of its good
faith detailed reasons therefor on or before the fifteenth day after Landlord
has received the written request for approval and the drawings and
specifications for the alterations, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved
the proposed alterations. Tenant's alterations shall be performed in a good and
workmanlike manner, in compliance with all legal requirements.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may
install, remove, reinstall, and alter Tenant's signage from time to time
provided that such signage complies with the applicable legal requirements.
Signs intended to be viewed from the public roads shall be subject to Landlord's
approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld. At the end of the term of the
lease, Tenant shall remove its signs from the Leased Premises and shall repair
any damage caused by the removal.
22
Section 8.3 Liens.
------------------
A party shall commence an appropriate legal proceeding to discharge,
bond or stay any mechanic's liens on the Leased Premises arising from work
performed by the party on or before the thirtieth day after receipt of notice of
the lien. After commencement, the proceeding shall be diligently prosecuted
unless the mechanics' lien is otherwise discharged. A title insurance policy or
endorsement benefitting the other party (or benefitting Landlord's lender) that
insures over the mechanics' lien shall be deemed tantamount to and shall have
the same effect as the discharge of the lien. If work is within the scope of
work of a contractor that the party has hired to perform the work, the party
shall be deemed to be performing the work within the meaning of this Section.
Section 8.4 Tenant's Property.
------------------------------
"Tenant's Property" means all machinery, equipment, and other trade
fixtures used in the operation of or kept at the Leased Premises in connection
with Tenant's business whether or not affixed to the Leased Premises, and all
furniture, furnishings, decorations to the Leased Premises, Tenant's signs, and
any personal property of Tenant. Tenant shall remain the owner of Tenant's
Property and may remove Tenant's Property from the Leased Premises on or before
the expiration of the term. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by Tenant's
removal of any of Tenant's Property from the Leased Premises. Any partitioning,
HVAC Equipment, plumbing, lighting, and permanent floor coverings installed by
Tenant at the Leased Premises is not included in Tenant's Property and shall be
surrendered by Tenant with the Leased Premises at the end of the term.

Section 9.1 Security Deposit.
-----------------------------
(a) Tenant shall deposit with Landlord by good check the sum of
$40,833.33 on or before the seventh day after the latest to occur of the
following: (i) approval of this Lease by the Board of Directors of Tenant; (ii)
the Effective Date; or (iii) Delivery of Possession. Such deposit will be
deposited and held by Landlord in a separate segregated, interest bearing escrow
account for the benefit of Tenant. If an Event of Default by Tenant occurs and
is continuing, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the
security and accrued interest so deposited to the extent required to cure the
Event of Default. If at the end of the term of the Lease there is no uncured
Event of Default which is then continuing, the security (including all interest
thereon except the portion paid to Landlord pursuant to subsection (b) below)
shall be immediately returned to Tenant.
(b) For each Lease Year that Landlord holds the security deposit,
Landlord may pay itself an administrative charge from the interest earned by the
security deposit. The administrative charge shall for a Lease Year shall not
exceed the lesser of $250.00 or the interest earned by the security deposit
during the Lease Year.
23
Section 9.2 Transfers by Landlord.
----------------------------------
(a) Landlord and the then fee owner of the Leased Premises shall at all
times be bound to perform all of the Landlord's obligations pursuant to the
Lease and is liable for any breach of any of Landlord's obligations. This

of the Leased Premises acquired its fee interest.
(b) Upon the transfer of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises to
a transferee, the transferor shall transfer any security deposit and accrued
interest to the transferee. Upon the occurrence of the transfer, the transferor
shall be deemed released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such
security and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
Landlord's obligations pursuant to the Lease to return the security deposit.
ARTICLE 10. ESTOPPEL, SUBORDINATION
-----------------------
Section 10.1 Estoppel Certificates.
-----------------------------------
(a) A party shall execute and deliver an Estoppel Certificate addressed
to the other party's "Permitted Designee" within twenty days after receipt of a
request. An Estoppel Certificate may not be relied upon by the then existing
Landlord or Tenant but only by the "Permitted Designee" or "Permitted Designees"
to whom it is addressed, their respective successors and assigns, and if
addressed to the holder of any mortgage encumbering the Land and the Building or
encumbering Tenant's leasehold estate, the purchaser at any foreclosure sale of
the mortgage. If a Permitted Designee subsequently acquires the interest of
Landlord or Tenant, the Permitted Designee may continue to rely on the Estoppel
Certificate in its capacity as Landlord or Tenant. Actual or prospective
lenders, purchasers (including purchasers at a foreclosure sale), assignees and
sublessees are "Permitted Designees" and each is a "Permitted Designee."
(b) An Estoppel Certificate shall state to the best of the party's
knowledge: (i) whether the Lease has been amended, and if so, the date of any
amendments; (ii) whether this Lease is in full force and effect; (iii) the date
to which Minimum Rent and Additional Rent have been paid; (iv) whether the party
contends that an Event of Default has occurred and continues to exist and a
description of any Event of Default so contended.
Section 10.2 Subordination and Nondisturbance.
----------------------------------------------
(a) Provided Landlord is not in default of the terms of this Lease
beyond any applicable cure period after receipt of notice of the default, Tenant
shall subordinate this Lease to each first mortgage which encumbers the Leased
Premises as long as the mortgagee executes a nondisturbance agreement
satisfactory to Tenant which contains the following provision:
24
"Mortgagee recognizes the Lease and shall not disaffirm the Lease even
if mortgagee shall foreclose the mortgage; (ii) the purchaser at a foreclosure
sale will recognize and not disaffirm the Lease; (iii) Tenant shall be entitled
to all of its rights under the Lease; (iv) insurance proceeds and Awards shall
be disbursed as provided in the Lease; (v) subject to Landlord's rights with
respect to the continuation of an Event of Default under the Lease, Tenant's
possession of the Leased Premises shall not be disturbed by mortgagee or by any
person or entity whose rights are acquired as a result of foreclosure
proceedings or a deed or conveyance in lieu thereof."
(b) If Tenant subleases any portion of the Leased Premises to a
sublessee in accordance with this Lease, Landlord, upon the Tenant's request
(and provided Landlord approves the request, Landlord's approval not to be
unreasonably withheld), shall execute a nondisturbance and attornment agreement
for the sublessee's benefit consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.2
and reasonably satisfactory to the sublessee, Landlord, and the holder of any
first mortgage on the Leased Premises provided the Minimum Rent per square foot
of the sublease is no less than the Minimum Rent per square foot of the Lease
and the other terms of the sublease are not materially less favorable to Tenant
than this Lease is to Landlord.
ARTICLE 11. INSURANCE
---------
Section 11.1 Tenant's Insurance.
--------------------------------
(a) During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall maintain: (i) public
liability and property damage insurance covering the Leased Premises with a
minimum single combined limit of $2,000,000.00 naming Landlord and any Mortgagee
designated by Landlord as an additional insured; (ii) all-risk property
insurance on Tenant's Property.
(b) At any time from Delivery of Possession through the surrender of
the Leased Premises to Landlord that Tenant maintains pollution legal liability
insurance coverage for the Leased Premises, Tenant agrees that it will cause
Landlord to be an additional insured with respect to such coverage. Tenant
agrees that Tenant will be covered by pollution legal liability coverage on the
Effective Date.
Section 11.2 Landlord's Insurance
---------------------------------
(a) (i) Landlord shall carry an "All Risk" insurance policy which shall
include any endorsements. The coverage limits shall not be less than the cost of
replacing the Building. Coverage shall be at least sufficient so that losses
shall be paid in full up to the face amount of the policy. Landlord shall also
carry any endorsements required such that the full cost of repairing damage to
the Building or if necessary, replacing the Building, is available from
insurance proceeds in the event of a loss. This may include the following
endorsements: "Contingent Liability From the Operation of Building Laws,"
"Increased Cost of Construction" and "Demolition Costs Which May be Necessary to
Comply With Building Laws." Any
25
mortgage obtained by Landlord encumbering all or a portion of the Land and/or
Building shall provide that if a loss occurs, the proceeds of any property
insurance policy maintained by or for Landlord shall be applied to the repair
the Leased Premises to the extent necessary to repair all damage to the Building
including the improvements installed by any tenant(s) of the Building, and if
the repairs are performed by Tenant, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to
Tenant on Landlord's behalf in accordance with this Lease.
(ii) An "Institutional Mortgagee" is an institutional
mortgagee holding a first mortgage on Landlord's fee interest in the Leased
Premises. Except to the extent that Landlord is required to pay the proceeds of
any Property Insurance Policy to an Institutional Mortgagee pursuant to a first
mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises, Landlord shall apply the proceeds of
any Property Insurance Policy paid or payable to Landlord or any of its
affiliates or nominees to the payment and performance of its obligations
pursuant to the Lease. Landlord hereby grants Tenant a security interest in any
Property Insurance Policy and its proceeds maintained by or for Landlord
insuring the Leased Premises to secure the performance of Landlord's obligations
pursuant to the Lease. Tenant's security interest shall be subordinate in all
respects to the security interest in such Property Insurance Policy and its
proceeds held by any Institutional Mortgagee pursuant to a first mortgage now or
hereafter encumbering the Leased Premises. Landlord authorizes Tenant to file a
financing statement and any extension thereof during the term of the Lease in
the public records to perfect Tenant's security interest and such financing
statement shall not require the signature of Landlord, but such financing
statement shall state that Tenant's interest in the policy and proceeds of any
Property Insurance Policy maintained by or for Landlord insuring the Leased
Premises is subordinate in all respects to the security interest in such
Property Insurance Policy and its proceeds held by an Institutional Mortgagee
pursuant to a first mortgage now or hereafter encumbering the Leased Premises.
To the extent funds are used for the payment or performance of Landlord's
obligations pursuant to the Lease, they shall be deemed free of Tenant's
security interest.
(b) Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs of maintaining the insurance
described in the preceding subsection (a). Landlord shall send a copy of the
xxxx for the insurance premium to Tenant, and Tenant may elect to pay the amount
to Landlord or through a check payable to the order of the insurer, either of
which will satisfy Tenant's obligations pursuant to this subsection.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant is not obligated
to pay the portion of any insurance premium allocable to coverage for a period
prior to the Rent Commencement Date or after the expiration of the term of this
Lease.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, on thirty days prior written
notice, may elect to procure and maintain the insurance described in subsection
(a) at Tenant's cost in lieu of payment of Landlord's insurance costs pursuant
to the preceding subsection (b).
Section 11.3 Insurance Certificates.
------------------------------------
26
Each party shall provide the other with a certificate of insurance
indicating compliance with this Article within ten days after receipt of
request. Within twenty days prior to the date of expiration of any policy, the
party maintaining the policy shall cause notice of the renewal or replacement of
the policy to be sent to the other party.
Section 11.4 Mutual Release, Waiver of Subrogation.
---------------------------------------------------
(a) Landlord is not responsible for any damage to the tangible property
of Tenant in the Leased Premises that would be insured against by a "Property
Insurance Policy" maintained by Tenant, and Tenant is not responsible for any
damage to the Building that would be insured against by a "Property Insurance
Policy" maintained by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other
and anyone claiming through subrogation from any liability for any loss of or
damage to the Building or tangible property in the Building that would be
insured against by a "Property Insurance Policy". In addition, each party shall
cause any "Property Insurance Policy" it maintains with respect to the Leased
Premises or the Building or its contents to be written to provide that the
insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other
party. A "Property Insurance Policy" is an "All Risk" insurance policy which
includes sufficient coverage to pay the full cost of repairing, and if
necessary, replacing the property insured. Landlord and Tenant shall remain
responsible to each other for property damage caused by the intentional acts of
their respective officers, employees, or agents which violate the Lease or which
violate applicable laws and which are not insured against by a Property
Insurance Policy.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to property or property rights
insured by title insurance or any other insurance other than that which is
provided under a Property Insurance Policy.
(c) If Tenant's title insurer seeks to prosecute or provide for the
defense of any action or proceeding, Landlord agrees that Tenant's title insurer
may do so in the name of Tenant and/or Landlord. Landlord shall give Tenant's
title insurer all reasonable aid (i) in any action or proceeding, securing
evidence, obtaining witnesses, prosecuting or defending the action or
proceeding, or effecting settlement, and (ii) in any other lawful act which in
the opinion of Tenant's title insurer may be necessary or desirable which may be
necessary or desirable to establish Landlord's and Tenant's title to the Land
and the Building free and clear of any easements, restrictions or encumbrances
which would interfere with any use of the Leased Premises by Tenant permitted
pursuant to this Lease. Landlord covenants that Tenant may quietly use and enjoy
the Leased Premises free of any easement, covenant, and restriction that would
interfere with any Tenant use of the Leased Premises permitted pursuant to this
Lease, and this subsection shall not be deemed to limit this covenant of
Landlord.
(d) Landlord agrees that Landlord will obtain an owner's title
insurance policy from First American Title Insurance Company of New York with a
face amount of at least $2,500,000 and an effective date as of the date of this
Lease which insures Landlord's fee interest in the Leased Premises and which is
satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant. Landlord hereby grants Tenant a security
interest in the owner's title insurance policy and its proceeds to secure the
performance
27
of Landlord's obligations pursuant to the Lease. Landlord authorizes Tenant to
file a financing statement and any extension thereof during the term of the
Lease in the public records to perfect Tenant's security interest, and such
financing statement shall not require the signature of Landlord. If any proceeds
are payable pursuant to the policy, such amounts shall be paid in escrow to an
attorney selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant and shall be
held by such attorney in escrow until the settlement and discharge of all claims
between Landlord and Tenant through the agreement of Landlord and Tenant or
through the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any amounts payable to
Landlord after the settlement and discharge of all claims between Landlord and
Tenant shall be deemed free of Tenant's security interest.
Section 11.5 Insurance Rating.
------------------------------
All insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease
shall be with an insurance company which may legally insure property and
liability in the State of New York and which has a rating by A.M. Best of at
least A Category XII.
ARTICLE 12. DAMAGE, TAKING
--------------
Section 12.1 Damage.
--------------------
(a) If the Leased Premises is damaged by fire or other
catastrophe, either party may take reasonable steps to secure undamaged property
from theft and additional damage.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (e), Landlord shall
repair all damage to the Leased Premises and the Building including the
improvements installed by any tenant(s) of the Building. Landlord shall commence
the repair as soon as reasonably possible after the damage and shall diligently
prosecute the repair until completion.
(c) Rent shall xxxxx from the date of the damage to the
earlier to occur of (i) the 30th day after the repair has been substantially
completed and the entire Leased Premises are available to Tenant and suitable
for the Intended Uses; or (ii) the date Tenant resumes operation of its business
throughout the entire Leased Premises. If the Leased Premises are repaired such
that they are partially tenantable and Tenant determines to operate from the
tenantable portion, Rent shall xxxxx only to the extent to and in proportion
with the portion of the Building that is not reasonably usable for the operation
of Tenant's business consistent with Tenant's past practice.
(d) (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in
subsection (e), if Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair within
180 days of the date the damage occurs, or if the damage occurs in the last 36
months of the term, Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease and surrender the
Leased Premises to Landlord. If Landlord has not substantially completed the
repairs within 180 days of the date the damage occurred and if Tenant terminates
this Lease pursuant to this subsection (d), Landlord agrees to immediately pay
Tenant the then unamortized cost of Tenant's investment in the Leased Premises
as of the date Tenant elects to
28
terminate the Lease, and Landlord's obligation shall survive the termination of
the Lease. This Section shall govern in lieu of Section 227 of the Real Property
Law.
(ii) The following is an example of amortization; it
is not intended to create or limit rights pursuant to this Lease. If X invests
$100 in a leased premises on or before the commencement of the term of a 10 year
lease, the investment would be amortized over the term at the rate of $10.00 per
year. If X invests $800 as of the end of the second year of a 10 year lease, the
investment is amortized over the remainder of the term at the rate of $100 per
year. As of the end of the sixth year of the lease, the then unamortized amount
of X's investment is $40 plus $400 for a total of $440.
(e) If the Leased Premises is damaged by fire or other
catastrophe and Landlord has not yet physically commenced the repair in a bona
fide manner (excluding securing of damaged property in accordance with
subsection (a)), Tenant may request Landlord approve Tenant's performance of the
repair of the damage in Landlord's stead. Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its approval. Tenant shall not be deemed to have made such request
unless Tenant sends written notice of the request to Landlord. If Tenant
requests Landlord's approval to repair the damage, and Landlord approves, Tenant
and not Landlord shall perform Landlord's repair obligations pursuant to
subsection (b), and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate
the Lease pursuant to the preceding subsection (d) as a result of the particular
fire or other catastrophe or the failure to complete its repair (but not as to
any subsequent fire or catastrophe). If Tenant repairs the damage pursuant to
this subsection (e), Tenant shall commence the repair as soon as practicable
after Landlord has approved performance by the Tenant and shall diligently
prosecute the repair until it has been completed. If Tenant performs the repair,
Landlord agrees to pay Tenant for the costs paid or incurred by Tenant in
performing the repair on or before the fifteenth day after Tenant has sent a
statement requesting the reimbursement including bills or other documents
reasonably supporting the request. This includes all costs and expenses for all
labor, materials, overhead, contractor profit, and all other costs and expenses
paid or incurred by Tenant for the repair including the amounts paid or incurred
with respect to any contractors hired by Tenant to perform the work. After the
commencement of the repair, Tenant may xxxx Landlord periodically or from time
to time for costs and expenses paid or incurred by Tenant through the date of
the statement. A payment shall be due Tenant on or before the fifteenth day
after Tenant has sent Landlord a statement requesting the payment. If Tenant
performs repairs in accordance with this subsection (e), Landlord shall cause
any mortgagee of any interest in the Land and/or Building to apply any insurance
proceeds in its possession arising from insurance maintained by or on behalf of
Landlord to be promptly paid directly to the Tenant on Landlord's behalf to the
extent necessary to satisfy Landlord's payment obligations pursuant to this
Lease, but Landlord's payment or performance obligations shall not be deemed
limited to the proceeds of any insurance policy maintained by or on behalf of
Landlord.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (e) to the
contrary, if Landlord fails to commence, continuously prosecute the performance
with due diligence, or complete a repair, and
29
the failure becomes an Event of Default, Tenant may nevertheless exercise its
remedies pursuant to this Lease including performing the repair at Landlord's
expense and on Landlord's behalf in order to cure Landlord's default and
including Tenant's other rights and remedies pursuant to Section 13.2.

(ii) "Taking Date" means the date on which a condemning authority first has the
right of possession of property Taken.
(b) Tenant may cancel this Lease if, after giving effect to the Taking
and all previous Takings: (i) access to or from the public streets reasonably

ARTICLE 13. DEFAULTS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
-----------------------------
Section 13.1 Events of Default.
-------------------------------
(a) (i) Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Lease committed by Tenant:
(1) If Tenant fails to pay any Minimum Rent when due
and the failure con tinues for ten days after Tenant receives notice of the
failure from Landlord; or
(2) If Tenant fails to comply with any of its other
obligations under this Lease and the failure continues after the expiration of
the "Cure Period."
(ii) Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event
of Default" under this Lease committed by Landlord:
(1) If Landlord fails to pay any amount owed Tenant
and the failure continues for ten days after Landlord receives notice of the
failure from Tenant;
(2) If Landlord fails to timely commence Landlord's
Work or any other work Landlord is required to perform pursuant to this Lease
and fails to cure the default within 30 days after receipt of notice of the
default from Tenant;
(3) If Landlord fails to diligently prosecute any
material portion of Landlord's Work (or any other work Landlord is required to
perform pursuant to this Lease) with a full construction crew as is reasonably
required for the work and fails to cure the default within 30 days after receipt
of notice of the default from Tenant;
(4) If Landlord fails to complete Landlord's Work
within the time required by this Lease (or fails to complete any other work
Landlord is required to perform pursuant to this Lease within a reasonable time
after its commencement) and fails to cure the default within 30 days after
receipt of notice of the default from Tenant;
(5) If Landlord is in breach of a covenant,
representation, or warranty, and an order relating to, involving, in connection
with, or resulting in or from such breach is entered in any court prohibiting or
materially impairing Tenant's use of the Leased Premises for the Intended Use,
or any use forming part of the Intended Use, regardless of whether the order is
later stayed, lifted, appealed or reversed; or
(6) If Landlord fails to comply with any of its other
obligations under this Lease and the failure continues after the expiration of
the "Cure Period."
(c) The "Cure Period" shall be thirty days after receipt of notice of
default , except as follows. If a party is unable to cure the failure within
thirty days by the exercise of reasonable
31
diligence, the Cure Period shall begin on the date the notice of failure is
received and shall continue as long as necessary for diligent prosecution of the
cure provided the curing party commences the cure as soon as practicable after
receipt of a notice of the default and diligently prosecutes the cure.
Section 13.2 Rights and Remedies Upon Default.
(a) If Tenant's default results in an uncured Event of Default,
Landlord may take any action it deems advisable under one or more of the
provisions of this Section. (i) Landlord may cancel the Lease and terminate
Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises.
(ii) Landlord may xxx for damages at law, but Landlord shall
take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate its damages. Landlord shall not
be entitled to a remedy at law or in equity which would provide for the
acceleration of rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease. For the purpose
of computing Landlord's damages, any bona fide arms length brokerage commission
paid by Landlord to an unrelated and unaffiliated broker to relet the Leased
Premises or portion thereof (the lease re-letting the Leased Premise or a
portion thereof being referred to as a "New Lease") shall be considered as part
of Landlord's damages, but calculated only as follows: the broker commission
shall be divided by the number of months in the initial term of the New Lease,
the result shall be referred to as the "Result", and the amount of rent per
month received by Landlord pursuant to the New Lease shall be deemed lowered by
an amount equal to the Result.
(iii) Landlord may cure the default on Tenant's behalf. If
Landlord does so, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable amounts
expended by Landlord to cure.
(b) (i) If Landlord's default results in an Event of Default, Tenant
may: (1) cure the default on Landlord's behalf, and Landlord shall promptly
reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of the cure; (2) terminate this Lease;
and, in either case, (3) Tenant may exercise the remedies otherwise provided by
law or this Lease, including specific performance. If Tenant terminates this
Lease as a result of an Event of Default of Landlord, Landlord shall immediately
pay Tenant the unamortized cost of Tenant's investment in the Leased Premises as
of the termination date and any other damages arising from the default.
(ii) If Tenant begins to perform any portion of Landlord's
Work or any other work Landlord was required to perform pursuant to this Lease,
Tenant may elect to continue to perform the work until it has been completed.
Landlord shall pay Tenant all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Tenant in
the performance of Landlord's Work or any other work Landlord was required to
perform pursuant to the Lease. This includes all costs and expenses for all
labor, materials, overhead, contractor profit, and all other costs and expenses
paid or incurred by Tenant for Landlord's Work or other work Landlord was
required to perform including the amounts paid or incurred with respect to any
contractors hired by Tenant to perform the work. After the commencement of the
Landlord's Work or other work performed by Tenant that
32
Landlord was required to perform, Tenant may xxxx Landlord periodically or from
time to time for costs and expenses paid or incurred by Tenant. A payment shall
be due Tenant on or before the fifteenth day after Tenant has sent Landlord a
statement requesting the payment.
(iii) If Landlord fails to pay Tenant any amount owed to
Tenant pursuant to this Lease or otherwise, Tenant may deem such amount to be a
credit against Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and any other charges payable by
Tenant pursuant to the Lease in such order as Tenant shall elect, and Tenant may
offset any credit against the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges
payable by Tenant pursuant to the Lease until the credit has been exhausted. If
Tenant has elected to take any amount Landlord owes Tenant as a credit, Tenant
may from time to time change its election as to any balance owed and may require
Landlord to pay the amount owed to Tenant in cash on the fifteenth day after a
statement requesting payment has been sent to Landlord. In either event, the
balance owed by Landlord shall bear interest at the "Interest Rate" (as
described in Section 14.3), and the interest shall be paid to Tenant or shall be
a credit against the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable by
Tenant, as Tenant shall elect from time to time.
(d) If one party (the "Defaulting Party") fails to perform an
obligation pursuant to this Lease and the failure results in an Event of
Default, and the other party (the "Nondefaulting Party") elects to cure the
failure by performing the obligation on the Defaulting Party's behalf, the
Nondefaulting Party shall have access to the Leased Premises reasonably required
to effect the cure regardless of whether Delivery of Possession has occurred or
not. Tenant's entry onto the Leased Premises to cure a Landlord default prior to
Delivery of Possession shall not constitute for any reason or purpose whatsoever
Delivery of Possession or a waiver by Tenant of Delivery of Possession.
(e) Except for the provisions of part (ii) of subsection 13.2(a),
neither party's right to damages as a result of an Event of Default of the other
party shall be deemed limited by this Section 13.2.
(f) If a party is in default of its obligations pursuant to this Lease,
no performance of Landlord's Work, Tenant's Work, or other act or omission of
the other party shall be deemed a waiver of the default. No party shall be
deemed to have waived a right pursuant to this Lease unless the party shall have
expressly waived the right in writing.
Section 13.3 Emergency Repairs
------------------------------
If Landlord's failure to make a roof or window repair as required
pursuant to this Lease creates a material threat to any person or property,
Tenant may, upon notice to Landlord, elect to perform the repair on Landlord's
behalf without waiting for the expiration of any Cure Period. Landlord shall pay
Tenant all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Tenant in the performance of
the repair. This includes all costs and expenses for all labor, materials,
overhead, contractor profit, and all other costs and expenses paid or incurred
by Tenant for the repair including the amounts paid or incurred with respect to
any contractors used or retained by Tenant to perform
33
the work. After the commencement of the repair, Tenant may xxxx Landlord
periodically or from time to time for costs and expenses paid or incurred by
Tenant through the date of the statement, and each statement shall be supported
by bills or other documents supporting the statement. A payment shall be due
Tenant on or before the fifteenth day after Tenant has sent Landlord a statement
requesting the payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a statement or submission of a xxxx and any
supporting documentation and associated correspondence (but excluding a notice
