ARTICLE VI
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 6.01 - Eminent Domain. If more than ten percent (10%) of the land
area of the Demised Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain
(including any conveyance made in lieu thereof), and such taking shall make the
operation of Lessee's business on the Demised Premises impractical, then Lessee
shall have the right to terminate this lease by giving Lessor written notice of
such termination within thirty (30) days after such taking or condemnation. If
Lessee does not so elect to terminate
9
9
this lease, the rental to be paid by Lessee hereunder shall be

in default, but only if the party in default has not remedied such default
within the said thirty (30) days or if the party in default has not
commenced such act or acts as shall be necessary to remedy the default and
shall complete such act or acts promptly; or

Section 6.01 shall not prejudice Lessor's right to prosecute any other
remedy which it may have for a breach of this lease or default hereunder.

deemed an event of default:
(a) Default in the payment of rent or other payments hereunder where such

covenant or condition of this lease by the Lessee to be performed or

provided, or pursuant to statute, or by summary proceedings or otherwise, the
Lessor may enter forthwith without further demand or notice upon any part of
the Demised Premises, if it has not theretofore done so, and resume possession
either by summary proceedings, or by action at law or in equity or by entry or
otherwise as the Lessor may determine, and shall not be liable in trespass or
for any damages to Lessee or any other person. In no event shall such re-entry
or resumption of possession or reletting as hereafter provided be deemed to be
an acceptance or surrender of this lease or a waiver of the rights or remedies
of Lessor hereunder.
Section 7.04 - Reletting. Upon termination of this lease in any manner
above provided, the Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Demised
Premises.

payment of rental, Lessor may, after thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee,
immediately or at any time thereafter, without being required to give notice,
perform the same for the account of Lessee and at the cost and expense of
Lessee, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand any amount properly paid by
Lessor including reasonable attorney fees for such purpose, with interest
thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum plus an additional service
fee of two percent (2%) from the date of payment thereof by Lessor.
Section 7.06 - Non-Exclusive Effect. The default provisions in this Article
VII shall not operate to exclude, override or limit any other right or remedy
provided in this lease, but shall be read in conjunction with the other
provisions hereof as supplementary thereto, and any election by the party for
whose benefit a particular provision operates, as communicated in any notice to
the other party, shall be conclusive as to the provision under which the former
is proceeding. Unless otherwise specified in such notice, however, any such
election shall not act as a waiver of the right to proceed under any other
provision at any other time with respect to the same or any other breach,
default, omission or failure of performance which may be the subject of the
election.
12
12
Section 7.07 - Lessor Default. If Lessor breaches any of its obligations

for such breach, provided Lessor has not cured such breach after 30 days
written notice thereof.
13
13
ARTICLE VIII
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, ATTORNMENT
Section 8.01 - Assignment. This lease may be assigned only with the written

while the Lessee is not in default.
ARTICLE IX
TRANSFER OF LESSOR'S INTEREST
Section 9.01 - Transfer of Lessor's Interest. In the event of the sale,
assignment or transfer by Lessor of its interest in the Demised Premises or in
this lease (other than a collateral assignment to secure a debt of Lessor) to a
successor in interest who expressly assumes the obligations of Lessor
hereunder, Lessor shall thereupon be released or discharged from all of its
covenants and obligations hereunder, except such obligations as shall have
accrued prior to any such sale, assignment or transfer; and Lessee agrees to
look solely to such successor in interest of Lessor for performance of such
obligations. Any securities given by Lessee to Lessor to secure performance of
Lessee's obligations hereunder may be assigned and transferred by Lessor to
such successor in interest of Lessor; and, upon acknowledgment by such
successor of receipt of such security and
14
14
its express assumption of the obligation to account to Lessee for such security
in accordance with the terms of this lease, Lessor shall thereby be discharged
of any further obligation relating thereto. Lessor's assignment of the lease
or of any or all of its rights herein shall in no manner affect Lessee's
obligations hereunder. Lessee shall thereafter attorn and look to such
assignee, as Lessor, provided Lessee has first received written notice of such
assignment of Lessor's interest.
ARTICLE X
SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENT
Section 10.01 - Agreement as to Modification. Lessee agrees at any time and
from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written request by
Lessor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor, and Lessor agrees at any
time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written
request by Lessee, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessee a statement in
writing certifying that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or if there have been mutually agreed upon modifications that the same is in
full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications), and the
dates to which the fixed rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if
any, and whether or not there is any existing default, other than on any
existing mortgage, by Lessee with respect to any sums of money required to be
paid by Lessee under the terms of this lease, or notice of default served by
Lessor, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this
paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee or
leasehold estate or by any prospective or existing mortgagee or assignee of any
mortgage upon the leasehold estate, or by any prospective assignee or subtenant
of the leasehold estate. If any such certification by Lessor shall allege
non-performance by Lessee, the nature and extent of such non-performance shall,
insofar as actually known by Lessor, be summarized therein. In the event that
either party shall fail to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other each
statement prior to the expiration of said ten (10) day period, it shall be
conclusively presumed a certification that this lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect, that all rental has been paid to date and that there is no
existing default.
15
15
Section 10.02 - Acknowledgment of Rent. The Lessor within ten (10) days,

given the right to pay any sum of money or perform any act which, by the terms
of this lease, are to be performed by the Lessee, Lessor agrees that it will
not so pay or perform until it has given Lessee thirty (30) days written notice
of its intent so to do and the Lessee at the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period has not made such payment or commenced and is diligently prosecuting
such performance; provided, however, that such period shall not exceed any
other period of notification specifically set forth herein relating to specific
acts of the parties hereto, it being specifically understood that this thirty
(30) day period notice shall not control or override the other notice
requirements specifically set forth in the lease agreement.
