the Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless the Landlord from and against any
loss, cost and expense in connection therewith.
5. ADDITIONAL RENT.

that the rent payable hereunder shall be absolute net to the Landlord so that
this Lease shall yield, net to the Landlord, the rents specified herein in each
year during the term of this Lease, free of any charges, assessments,
impositions or deductions of any kind and without abatement, deduction or
set-off whatsoever and under no circumstances or conditions, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, or whether beyond the present contemplation of
the parties, shall Landlord be expected or required to make any payment of any
kind whatsoever or be under any other obligation or liability hereunder, except
as herein otherwise expressly set forth. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses,

governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen
and unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever, which at any time during the
term of this Lease may be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon, or grow or
become due or payable out of or in respect of, or become a lien on, the Leased
Premises or any part thereof or any appurtenance thereto, any personal property,
the rent and income received by Tenant from subtenants, any use, possession or
occupation of the Leased Premises, or rentals or sales therefrom or activity
conducted therein, such franchises as may be appurtenant to the use or
occupation of the Leased Premises, this transaction or any document to which
Tenant is a party creating or transferring any right, title or interest or

penalties and/or interest thereon, and together with any and all Premiums, being
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "Impositions", and any of the
same being hereinafter sometimes referred to as an "Imposition"). Nothing herein
contained shall require Tenant to pay income taxes assessed against Landlord, or
any capital levy, corporation franchise, excess profits, estate, succession,
business inheritance or transfer taxes of Landlord, unless such taxes are
imposed or levied upon or assessed as a total or partial substitute for, or in
lieu of, any other Imposition required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this
Section 5(b), in which event same shall be deemed Impositions and shall be paid
by Tenant; provided, however, that if at any time during the term of this Lease,
the method of taxation shall be such that there shall be levied, assessed or
imposed on Landlord a capital levy, gross receipts or other tax directly on the
rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax or an assessment, levy or charge
measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents, the Leased Premises
(including but not limited to the acquisition, leasing, use, or value thereof)
or the present or any future Improvements on the Leased Premises or the
construction thereof and/or measured in whole or in part by Landlord's income
from the Leased Premises if in computing such income there is not allowed as a
deduction any significant portion of the depreciation or interest deductions
allowed for federal income tax purposes, then all such taxes, assessments,
levies and charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to
be included within the term "Imposition" for the purposes hereof, but only to
the extent that such taxes would be payable if the Leased Premises were the only
property of Landlord, and Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein
provided in respect of the payment of Impositions. Tenant shall furnish to
Landlord, promptly after payment of any Impositions official receipts or other
satisfactory proof evidencing payment of such Imposition. In addition Tenant
shall furnish to Landlord, semi-annually, throughout the term of this Lease, a
certificate executed by an executive officer of Tenant, stating that all
Impositions have been paid to date. Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's
option, to require Tenant to: (i) promptly deposit with Landlord funds for the
payment of current Impositions required to be paid by Tenant hereunder; and (ii)
also deposit one-twelfth (1/12th) of the current annual or annualized
Impositions as the case may be, or those of the preceding years if the current
amounts thereof have not been fixed, on the first day of each month in advance,
except that all additional funds required for any payments thereof shall also be
deposited as aforesaid on the first day of the month during which or at the end
of which an Imposition is due and payable without interest, penalty or liability
and any interest made available to Landlord earned on such funds, less an
administrative fee of one (1%) percent per annum, shall accrue for the benefit
of Tenant.

(b) Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Leased
Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be done in or on
the Leased Premises or any part thereof, in a manner that would in any way
violate any of the Laws or any certificate of occupancy affecting the Leased
Premises or make void or voidable any insurance then in force with respect
thereto, or that may make it impossible to obtain fire or other insurance
thereon required to be furnished hereunder by Tenant, or that will cause or be
likely to cause structural injury to any of the Improvements or that will
constitute a public or private nuisance or waste. Nothing contained in this
Lease and no action or inaction by Landlord shall be deemed or construed to mean
that Landlord has granted to Tenant any right, power or permission to do any act
or to make any agreement that may create, give rise to, or be the foundation
for, any right, title, interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the
estate of Landlord in the Leased Premises.

Tenant's cost and expense, take good care of and maintain the Leased Premises

at all times be free of liens for labor or materials supplied or claimed to have
been supplied to the Leased Premises.

upon incorporation into the Leased Premises be and become the property of the
Landlord, subject to the leasehold rights of the Tenant hereunder.

sufficient on completion of the work to pay for the same in full (giving in such
reasonable detail as Landlord may require an estimate of the cost of such
completion);
(x) If any Tenant Change involving an estimated
cost in excess of Thirty Thousand ($30,000.00) Dollars is undertaken by Tenant
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, then each request for reimbursement
shall be accompanied by waivers of lien satisfactory to Landlord and Mortgagee

requested and by a search prepared by a title company or licensed abstractor or
by other evidence, satisfactory to Landlord and Mortgagee, that there has not
been filed with respect to any part of the Leased Premises any mechanics' or
other lien or instrument for the retention of title in respect of any of the
work not discharged of record, and, if and as requested by Landlord or any
Mortgagee, title policy endorsements sufficient to evidence the foregoing and

Section 11, and provided further that such policies shall provide for a reserved
amount thereunder with respect to the Leased Premises so as to assure that the
amount of insurance required by the provisions of this Section 11 will be
available notwithstanding any losses with respect to other property covered by
such blanket policy.
(e) If any portion of the Leased Premises is damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall forthwith give notice thereof
to Landlord and Tenant shall (to the extent insurance proceeds are made
available), at its cost and expense, forthwith repair, restore, rebuild or
replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements, fixtures or equipment, and
complete
11
the same as soon as reasonably possible to the condition they were in prior to
such damage or destruction, except for such changes in design or materials as
may then be required by Law. The Landlord, in such event, shall, to the extent
and at the times the insurer and any Mortgagees make the proceeds of the
insurance available, reimburse the Tenant for the costs of making such repairs,
restoration, rebuilding and replacements, provided further that said
reimbursements need be made only under such conditions that the Landlord and any
Mortgagees are assured that at all times the Leased Premises shall be free of
liens or claims of liens by reason of such work, and provided further that the
portion of the proceeds paid out at any time shall not exceed the value of the
actual work and materials incorporated in the repaired, restored, rebuilt or
replaced Leased Premises and that the conditions described in Section 9 are
complied with. To the extent, if any, that the proceeds of insurance made
available as aforesaid are insufficient to pay the entire cost of making such
repairs, restoration, rebuilding and replacements, and notwithstanding the
expiration or termination of the term of this Lease, the Tenant shall pay the
amount by which such costs exceed the insurance proceeds made available as
aforesaid. Any surplus of insurance proceeds over the cost of restoration, net
of all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the administration
thereof, shall be promptly paid over to the Tenant.
(f) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Leased
Premises, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord and any Mortgagees and shall
file prompt proof of loss to the relevant insurance company(ies).
(g) The obligation to pay the rent provided for herein and to
otherwise perform Tenant's obligations hereunder shall continue unabated by
reason of such damage or destruction; that is, there shall be no abatement or
diminution of rent or release from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder by
reason of such damage or destruction regardless of the period of time, if any,
during which the Leased Premises or any part thereof remain untenantable, any
Laws to the contrary notwithstanding.
(h) The provisions and requirements of all of Section 9 shall
apply with respect to any repairing, restoring, rebuilding or replacing made
pursuant to this Section 11; and same shall be made in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications to the extent required hereunder.
(i) As to any loss or damage which may occur upon the property
of a party hereto and be collected under any insurance policy(ies), such party
hereby releases the other from any and all liability for such loss or damage to
the extent of such amounts collected.
(j) Tenant shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be furnished by
Tenant under Sections 10 and 11 of this Lease, unless Landlord, and with respect
to the insurance described in Section 11, any Mortgagees designated by Landlord,
are included therein as named insureds, with loss payable as in said Sections
provided. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord whenever any such separate
insurance is taken out and shall deliver to Landlord duplicate original(s)
thereof, or original certificate(s) evidencing the same with true copies
thereof, as provided in this Lease.
12
12. CONDEMNATION.
(a) In the event that at any time during the term of this
Lease, title to the whole or materially all of the Leased Premises shall be
taken by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by
agreement between the Landlord and those authorized to exercise such right, this
Lease shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking (herein referred to
as the "Taking Date") and the rent provided to be paid by the Tenant shall be
apportioned and paid to the Taking Date.
(b) If (i) any material portion of any building on the Leased
Premises shall be taken, or (ii) substantially all reasonable means of ingress
and egress to and from the Leased Premises are permanently eliminated by reason
of such a taking, then and in any of such events, Landlord and Tenant shall each
have the right to terminate this Lease on the next date for payment of Minimum
Rental occurring at least thirty (30) days after notice to the other given
within ninety (90) days after the Taking Date.
(c) If and when it shall be established that this Lease shall
terminate pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
12, then Tenant shall (i) be deemed to have hereby made an irrevocable offer
(the "Offer") to purchase the Leased Premises and Landlord's right to the award
payable in connection with such taking as of the Taking Date, at a price
(hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Price") determined in accordance with
Schedule "12(c)" attached hereto, and (ii) if less than the entire Leased
Premises shall have been taken, and Tenant elects to cancel as a result thereof
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of Tenant, signed by the
President or any Vice President thereof, stating that, in the judgment of the
Board of Directors of Tenant, the portion of the Leased Premises or the means of
ingress and egress so taken is sufficient to fulfill the conditions set forth in
subdivisions (i) or (ii) of subsection (b) of this Section 12.
(d) If Landlord desires to accept the Offer it shall notify
Tenant of such acceptance (hereinafter referred to as the "Acceptance Notice")
and the procedures specified in subsection (e) hereof shall be applicable except
that the Closing Date shall be a date specified by Landlord in the Acceptance
Notice which date shall be the earlier to occur of either: (i) the Taking Date,
or (ii) the date which is not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty
(60) days from the date thereof but in no event shall the Closing Date be prior
to the Taking Date. If Landlord shall reject the Offer by notice given to Tenant
not later than the tenth (10th) day prior to the Taking Date, then, except with
respect to obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, actual or
contingent, which have arisen on or prior to the Taking Date, this Lease shall
terminate on the Taking Date upon payment by Tenant of all installments of
Minimum Rental and all other sums then due and payable under this Lease to and
including the Taking Date. Anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the Taking Date occurs, and any Mortgages are then in
effect, any rejection by Landlord of the Offer shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless accompanied by the written consent thereto of the Mortgagee.
(e) If Landlord shall not have rejected the Offer as provided
in subsection (d) above, or if Landlord makes such rejection without the consent
(if required) of Mortgagee, then
13
Tenant shall forthwith give written notice thereof (hereinafter referred to as
the "Final Notice") to Landlord, and if such rejection is not made and/or such
consent is not given, as the case may be, within five (5) days after Landlord's
receipt of the Final Notice from Tenant, then Landlord shall be conclusively
presumed to have accepted the Offer, and on a date (the "Closing Date") which
shall be specified by Tenant in the Final Notice, but not more than thirty (30)
days from the date of the Final Notice, Landlord shall transfer, convey or
assign to Tenant all of Landlord's right, title and interest, if any, in (i) the
Leased Premises, and (ii) the "Net Award" (as hereinafter defined, (whether or
not such "Net Award" or any part thereof shall have been received by Landlord).
Concurrently with such transfer, conveyance or assignment, Tenant shall pay the
Purchase Price therefor to Landlord together with all installments of Minimum
Rental and all other sums then due and payable under this Lease to and including
such Closing Date minus, however, any part of the Net Award which may
theretofore have been received by Landlord. In the event of the termination of
this Lease pursuant to this Section 12, and only if Tenant shall have purchased
the Leased Premises pursuant to this Section 12, Tenant or its designee shall be
entitled to the "Net Award" payable in connection with such taking (the entire
award less all of Landlord's expenses related thereto being herein called the
"Net Awards") . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
(i) in the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 12,
and if Tenant shall not have purchased the Leased Premises pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 12, or (ii) if this Lease is terminated pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 12 after the expiration of the term of this
Lease, then, in either of such events, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire
award payable in connection with such taking.
(f) In the event of any taking of the Leased Premises and if
this Lease shall not terminate as provided in subsections 12(a) and 12(b) above,
then this Lease shall continue unaffected (except as hereinafter specifically
otherwise provided) and the Landlord shall be entitled to all awards, damages,
consequential damages and compensation for such taking and the Tenant shall not
be entitled to share in any such award or have any claim against Landlord for
any part thereof, provided: (i) Landlord shall, to the extent the Net Award paid
for the Improvements on the Leased Premises is made available to Landlord,
reimburse Tenant for its cost of demolition, repair, rebuilding and restoration
to return the Improvements to a tenantable condition, as and when expended, and
paid in like manner and subject to the provisions and conditions contained in
Section 9 above, which provisions and conditions shall be deemed to apply to
such demolition, repair, rebuilding and restoration; and (ii) the Minimum Rental
payable by Tenant to Landlord under Section 3 hereof, from and after the date of
restoration of the Leased Premises, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
product obtained by multiplying the amount of the Net Award retained by
Landlord, if any, after restoration of the Leased Premises by Tenant, as
provided herein, by ten (10) percent. In the event of any taking which does not
result in a termination of this Lease and provided Tenant is given the Net Award
to use for rebuilding, Tenant shall promptly make such demolition, repair,
rebuilding and restoration as are necessary to return the Leased Premises to a
tenantable condition (in accordance with the Plans and Specifications to the
extent same is practicable), and in the event that the cost of such demolition,
repair, rebuilding and restoration shall exceed the Net Award collected by the
Landlord, the Tenant shall pay the deficiency.
14
(g) In the event Landlord is advised of an impending
condemnation, the Landlord shall give notice of such fact to the Tenant and the
Tenant, at its election, shall be entitled to participate in any negotiations or
litigation with the condemning authority.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at its cost and
expense, shall be entitled to separately claim, in any condemnation proceeding,
any damages payable for movable trade fixtures paid for and installed by Tenant
(or any persons claiming under Tenant) without any contribution or reimbursement
therefor by Landlord, and for Tenants loss of business, and for Tenant's
relocation costs; provided Landlord's award is not reduced or otherwise
adversely affected thereby.
13. REMOVAL OF TENANT'S PROPERTY/WAIVER OF LANDLORD'S LIEN
Provided the Tenant is not then in default hereunder, the Tenant shall
have the right, at any time during the term of this Lease, to remove "Tenant's
Property", consisting of inventory, machinery, trade equipment, business and
trade fixtures, and other trade equipment placed, installed, supplied or made by
it in or on the Leased Premises at Tenant's cost and expense (without any
contribution or reimbursement therefor by Landlord), and which may be removed
without material injury to the Leased Premises; provided, however, that any
damage to the Leased Premises or any part thereof occasioned by such removal
shall be repaired by the Tenant at Tenant's cost and expense. As used herein and
hereafter, the term "Tenant's Property" shall not include or be deemed to
include any item now or hereafter installed in or on the Leased Premises that is
an integral part of the building, including, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning plants and systems,
electrical and plumbing fixtures and systems and other like equipment and
fixtures, if any. If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall waive any contractual,
statutory or other Landlord's lien on any and all of the Tenant's Property to
the lien of any third party institutional lender providing financing to Tenant
and will execute any customary agreements confirming such waiver as Tenant's
lender may reasonably request.
14. SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE NOTICE TO LESSORS AND MORTGAGEES.
(a) This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and
shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all ground and underlying
leases of all or any portions of the Leased Premises, now or hereafter existing,
and to all Mortgages, which may now or hereafter affect all or any portions of
the Leased Premises and/or any of such leases, to each and every advance made or
hereafter to be made under such Mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications,
replacements and extension of such leases and Mortgages and spreaders and
consolidations of such Mortgages, provided, that, as to any such leases and/or
Mortgages that encumber the Leased Premises on the commencement date of this
Lease or that become liens of record after the date of this Lease the lessors
and/or Mortgagees thereunder shall each enter into a non-disturbance agreement,
in favor of Tenant, to provide that in the event its said Mortgage shall be
foreclosed or its said lease shall be terminated, as the case may be, and
provided that there has not occurred
15
an Event of Default hereunder, this Lease shall not terminate on account thereof
so long as the Tenant continues to pay the rents reserved in this Lease and
otherwise performs and observes all of the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of this Lease to be performed and observed by or on behalf of Tenant
thereunder. The lien of any Mortgages shall not cover any trade fixtures or
other personal property paid for and installed in the Leased Premises by Tenant
(or any persons claiming under Tenant) without any contribution or reimbursement
therefor by Landlord. The provisions of this subsection (a) shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver
any instruments that Landlord, the lessor of any such lease or the holder of any
Mortgage, or any of their respective successors in interest, may reasonably
request to evidence such subordinations and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints
Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver such instrument
on behalf of Tenant, should Tenant refuse or fail to do so promptly after
request, such power being coupled with an interest and Landlord shall promptly
send to Tenant a copy of any subordination agreement executed and delivered by
Landlord on behalf of Tenant. If any Mortgage shall not be recorded, the
subordination provided for in this Section shall not be effective unless and
until Tenant shall have received notice from the Mortgagees thereunder (as the
case may be) of the existence of such Mortgage (as the case may be). If any
Mortgagees shall, from time to time, so require, this Lease shall be prior in
lien to the lien of its or their respective Mortgages.
(b) In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which
would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to
cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant
shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act
or omission to each Mortgagee whose name and address shall previously have been
furnished to Tenant in writing, and (ii) unless such act or omission shall be
one which is not capable of being remedied by any Mortgagee within a reasonable
period of time, until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission
shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice (not to exceed sixty (60)
days) and following the time when all such Mortgagees shall have become entitled
under such Mortgages, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable
period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be
entitled under this Lease or otherwise after similar notice, to effect such
remedy), provided any such Mortgagee shall with due diligence give Tenant
written notice of its intention to and shall commence and continue to remedy
such act or omission, but nothing herein contained shall obligate any Mortgagee
to do so unless it so elects.
(c) If a Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord
under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery
of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so succeeding to
Landlord's rights (herein sometimes referred to as "Successor Landlord") and
upon such Successor Landlord's written agreement to accept Tenant's attornment
which such Successor Landlord shall agree to accept if so requested by Tenant,
Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant's
landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.
Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to
execute and deliver such instrument on behalf of
16
Tenant, should Tenant refuse or fail to do so promptly after request, such power
being coupled with an interest. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect as, and as if it were, a direct lease between the
Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions
set forth in this Lease, and all such terms, covenants and conditions shall be
applicable after such attornment except that the Successor Landlord shall:
(i) not be liable for any previous act or
omission of Landlord under this Lease, provided that the Successor Landlord
shall be liable for any continuing defaults which remain uncured as of the date
of Successor Landlord obtains title to the Leased Premises that are the
responsibility or obligation of the Landlord hereunder to cure;
(ii) not be subject to any offset, not expressly
provided for in this Lease, which shall have theretofore accrued or which may
thereafter accrue to Tenant against Landlord; and
(iii) not be bound by any previous modification of
this Lease, not expressly provided for in this Lease, other than a modification
of this Lease executed by Landlord and Tenant prior to the execution of any
Superior Lease or Mortgage, or by any previous prepayment of more than one
month's Minimum Rental, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been
expressly approved in writing by the Mortgagee(s) through or by reason of which
the Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this
Lease.
15. NON-WAIVER. Neither a failure by the Landlord to exercise any of
its options hereunder, nor failure to enforce its rights or seek its remedies
upon any default, nor the acceptance by the Landlord of any rent accruing before
or after any default, shall effect or constitute a waiver of the Landlord's
right to exercise such option, to enforce such right, or to seek such remedy
with respect to that default or to any prior or subsequent default. The remedies
provided in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not in any way abridge,
modify or preclude any other rights or remedies to which the Landlord may be
entitled either at law or in equity.
16. QUIET ENJOYMENT. If the Tenant pays the rent it is obligated
hereunder to pay, and observes all other terms, covenants and conditions hereof,
it may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises during the
term of this Lease, subject, however, to all the terms of this Lease. No failure
by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any right to
cancel or terminate this Lease or to xxxxx, reduce or make any deduction from or
offset against any rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or to fail to
perform any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises, nor any part
thereof, nor assign, or otherwise dispose of this Lease or any interest therein,
or any part thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent in each of the
foregoing cases, which consent, however, to an assignment of this Lease may be
withheld or granted in Landlord's sole discretion, or a subletting
17
of the Leased Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided the
following conditions are complied with:
(i) Any assignment shall transfer to the
assignee all of the Tenant's rights in, and interests under, this Lease.
(ii) At the time of any assignment and/or
subletting this Lease must be in full force and effect without any breach or
default thereunder on the part of the Tenant.
(iii) Any assignee shall assume, by written,
recordable instrument, in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, the due
performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease including any
accrued obligations at the time of the assignment. A copy of the assignment and
assumption agreement, both in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, fully
executed and acknowledged by the assignee, together with a certified copy of a
properly executed corporate resolution (if the assignee be a corporation)
authorizing such assumption agreement, shall be sent to Landlord within ten (10)
days from the effective date of such assignment.
(iv) A copy of any sublease fully executed and
acknowledged by the Tenant and the sublessee, shall be mailed to Landlord within
ten (10) days from effective date of such subletting.
(v) Such assignment and/or subletting shall be
subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and
the Tenant/assignor (and any guarantor(s) of this Lease) and such assignee(s)
shall continue to be and remain liable hereunder, it being expressly understood
and agreed that no assignment or subletting of the Leased Premises shall, in any
way, relieve Tenant or any subsequent assignee(s) from the performance of any of
the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease,
(vi) Each sublease permitted under this Section
shall contain provisions to the effect that (A) such sublease is only for the
actual use and occupancy by the sublessee and (B) such sublease is subject and
subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to
all of the rights of Landlord thereunder, and (C) in the event this Lease shall
terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the subtenant thereunder will,
at Landlords option, attorn to Landlord and waive any rights the subtenant may
have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a
result of the termination of this Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary and notwithstanding any consent by Landlord to any assignment of this
Lease no assignee shall further assign its interest in this Lease nor sublease
the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 17.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary, should Tenant desire to assign this Lease or sublet more than fifty
(50%) percent of the net rental square footage of the main building or any other
portion of the Leased Premises, it shall give written notice of its intention to
do so to Landlord sixty (60) days or more before the effective date of
18
such proposed subletting or assignment and Landlord may, at any time within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from Tenant, cancel this Lease
by giving Tenant written notice of its intention to do so, in which event such
cancellation shall become effective upon the date specified by Landlord, but not
less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days after its receipt by
Tenant, with the same force and effect as if said cancellation date were the
date originally set forth as the expiration date of the term of this Lease.
Landlord may enter into a direct lease with the proposed subtenant or assignee
or with any other persons as Landlord may desire.
(d) Tenant's failure to comply with all of the provisions and
conditions of this Section 17 and all of the subsections hereof shall (whether
or not Landlord's consent is required under this Section), at Landlord's option,
render any purported assignment or subletting null and void and of no force and
effect.
(e) In the event that Tenant hereunder or any "Guarantors"
(hereinafter defined) shall, at any time, be a corporation, no change shall
occur in the majority ownership of and/or the power to vote the majority of the
outstanding capital stock of Tenant (or such Guarantors) without the prior
written consent of Landlord, unless Tenant or such guarantor is a publicly
traded company on a nationally recognized stock exchange.
(f) The Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord,
consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, convey or transfer all or
substantially all of its assets to any other corporation, or permit any other
corporation to consolidate with or merge into it upon condition that:
(i) The corporation which results from such
consolidation or merger or the transferee to which such sale shall have been
made (hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Corporation") is a corporation
organized under the laws of any State of the United States, and the Surviving
Corporation shall have a net worth, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied at least equal to the net
worth of Tenant on the day immediately preceding such consolidation, merger or
transfer; and
(ii) the Surviving Corporation shall expressly
and unconditionally assume by written agreement in recordable form to perform
all such obligations of the Tenant hereunder and shall be obligated to perform
all such obligations of the Tenant hereunder to the same extent as if the
Surviving Corporation had originally executed and delivered this Lease; and
(iii) no rights of Landlord under this Lease shall
be affected or reduced by such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer.
Tenant covenants that it will not merge or consolidate or sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its assets unless there shall be
compliance with all of the foregoing provisions of subsection 17(f) of this
Lease and unless the instrument referred to in subparagraph 17(f) (ii) above
shall have been delivered to Landlord.
19
18. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and any Mortgagee(s), and their
respective duly authorized representatives, shall have the right to enter the
Leased Premises at all reasonable times and upon 48 hours prior notice for the
purposes of inspecting the conditions of same, and making such repairs,
alterations, additions, or improvements thereto as may be necessary or desirable
if Tenant fails to do so as required hereunder (but the Landlord shall have no
duty whatsoever to make any such inspections, repairs, alterations, additions,
or improvements).
19. TENANT'S DEFAULT. The following shall be defined and deemed as an
"Event of Default": (a) if Tenant shall default in the payment of the Minimum
Rental or any additional rent and if Tenant shall fail to cure said default
within five (5) business days after receipt from Landlord of a written notice of
such default, or, (b) if Tenant shall default in the performance or observance
of any term, obligation, covenant or condition to be performed or observed by
Tenant under this Section 19 or under any of Section 17 of this Lease; or (c) if
Tenant shall default in the performance or observance of any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition to be performed or observed by Tenant under
this Lease and if Tenant shall fail to cure said default within twenty-five (25)
days after receipt of notice of said default from Landlord, or if said default
shall reasonably require longer than twenty-five (25) days to cure, if Tenant
shall fail to commence to cure said default within twenty-five (25) days after
receipt of notice thereof and continuously prosecute the curing of the same to
completion with due diligence, or (d) if Tenant shall make an assignment of its
property for the benefit of creditors or shall institute any proceedings
relating to it or its property under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws of any
jurisdiction or shall petition to any court for, or consent to, the appointment
of a receiver, trustee or assignee of it or any part of its property, or (e) if
an order for relief under any provisions of Title 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code and any amendments thereto (hereinafter referred to as the
"Bankruptcy Code") shall be entered against tenant, or (f) if Tenant shall be
declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or (g) if any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings shall be commenced against Tenant and shall not be
dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or (h) if a receiver, trustee, or
assignee shall be appointed without the consent of Tenant in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings of Tenant or the property of Tenant and shall not be
discharged within ninety (90) days thereafter, or (i) if Tenant shall be
Liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward its liquidation or
dissolution, or shall, in any manner, permit the divestiture of substantially
all of its assets, or (j) if, as a result of any failure by Tenant to perform or
observe any of the terms, obligations, covenants or conditions to be performed
or observed by it under this Lease, a breach or default shall have occurred and
be continuing under any Superior Lease or Mortgage. The word "Tenant" as used in
subsections (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) of this Section 19 shall mean
the then holder of the Tenant's interest in this Lease hereunder and/or any
Guarantor and/or other persons who or which are liable for Tenant's obligations
under this Lease. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used in subsections (b)
and (c) of this Section 19 shall mean any person, firm or entity controlled by,
under common control with, or controlling the Landlord or the "Tenant" (as
defined in the preceding sentence under this Lease, respectively); and for the
purpose of interpreting this sentence the word "control shall be deemed to mean
capable of directing the business activities and direction of such person, firm
or entity. Any defaults in Tenant's liabilities or obligations under this Lease
occasioned by any acts or failures to act by any persons having or claiming any
'right, title and interest in or to the Leased
20
Premises by, through or under Tenant, shall be deemed the default of Tenant
hereunder. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 19, Tenant
waives (i) the benefit of any Laws exempting property from liability for rent or
for debt, and (ii) the service of any notice which may be required by any Laws.
In case of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereinbefore provided,
the Landlord shall have the immediate 'right of reentry and may remove all
persons and property from the Leased Premises by summary proceedings, force or
otherwise. In addition to all other remedies afforded by law and/or equity, in
the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default (whether or not Landlord
shall elect to reenter or to take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or
pursuant to any notice provided for by Laws), Landlord shall have the right, at
its option, to (i) declare the balance of the entire rent for the entire rental
term of this Lease to be immediately due and payable (in which event Landlord
may then proceed to collect all of the unpaid rent called for by this Lease by
distress or otherwise) which rental shall be discounted to its present value,
(ii) trigger the Purchase and Sale Obligation as described below, or (iii)
terminate this Lease on not less than two (2) days notice to Tenant and upon the
giving of said notice, this Lease and the term hereof shall cease and expire on
the date set forth is said notice as if said date were the expiration date
originally set forth herein and/or it may from time to time, whether or not this
Lease be terminated, make such alterations and repairs as may be reasonably
necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises or any part(s) thereof for such
term or terms (which may extend beyond the term of this Lease) and at such
rental(s) and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable; upon each such reletting all rentals received by
the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any
indebtedness (other than rents due hereunder) of Tenant to Landlord, second, to
the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including, without
limitation, brokerage fees (at no greater than customary rates in the area in
which the Leased Premises is located) and reasonable attorneys' fees and of the
cost of such alterations and repairs, third, to the payment of rents due and
unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied
in payment of future rents and other payments required to be made by Tenant
hereunder as the same may become due and payable hereunder, with the right
reserved to Landlord to bring such action(s) or proceeding(s) for the recovery
of any deficits remaining unpaid without being obliged to await the end of the
term for a final determination of Tenant's account; and the commencement or
maintenance of any one or more actions shall not bar Landlord from bringing
other or subsequent actions for further accruals pursuant to the provisions of
this Section. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be
less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall
pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and
paid monthly subject to Landlord's right of action(s) or proceeding(s), as
aforesaid. No such reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by
Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the
termination, thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should
Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any
other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur
by reason of such breach as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a
penalty, including
21
the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and
including the worth, at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of
the amount of rental and charges equivalent to the rental and charges reserved
in this Lease for the remainder of the then term of this Lease, over the
aggregate rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of such term,
all of which shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. If
any Laws shall validly limit the amount of the damages provided for in the
immediately preceding sentence to less than the amount above agreed upon,
Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such Laws. In
the event the Tenant does not comply with its obligations under this Lease,
Landlord shall also have the right to appropriate injunctive relief. The rights
and remedies whether herein or anywhere else in this Lease provided shall be
cumulative and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not preclude the
exercise of or act as a waiver of any other right or remedy of Landlord
hereunder or which may be existing at law, or in equity or by statute or
otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant, and its successors and assigns,
shall at all times indemnify Landlord for, defend Landlord against and save
Landlord harmless from any liability, loss, cost, injury, damage or other
expense or risk whatsoever directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting
from or otherwise in connection with the failure for any reason on the part of
Tenant to perform, observe or comply with any of the covenants, conditions and
obligations under this Lease to be performed, observed or complied with by
Tenant.
20. TAX APPEALS AND CONTESTS.
(a) Tenant shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to
contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Imposition of any
kind by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but no such
contest shall be carried on or maintained by Tenant after the time limit for the
payment of any Imposition unless the Tenant, at its option: (i) shall pay the
amount involved under protest; or (ii) shall procure and maintain a stay of all
proceedings to enforce any collection of any imposition together with all
penalties, interest, costs and expenses by a deposit of a sufficient sum of
money, or by such undertaking, as may be required or permitted by law to
accomplish such stay; or (iii) shall deposit with Landlord or any Superior
Lessor or Mortgagee, as security for the performance by the Tenant of its
obligations hereunder with respect to such Imposition such security in amounts
equal to such contested amount or such reasonable security as may be demanded by
the Landlord or any Superior Lessor or Mortgagee to insure payment of such
contested Imposition and all penalties, interest, costs and expenses which may
accrue during the period of the contest. Upon the termination of any such
proceedings, it shall be the obligation of Tenant to pay the amount of such
Imposition or part thereof, as finally determined in such proceeding the payment
of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings
together with any costs, fees (including counsel fees), interest, penalties or
other liabilities in connection therewith, whereupon the Landlord shall arrange
to have returned to the Tenant, with any interest (less an administrative fee of
one (1%) percent per annum) earned thereon, all amounts, if any, held by or on
behalf of Landlord which were deposited by the Tenant in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
(b) Tenant shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to
seek a reduction in the valuation of the Leased Premises as assessed for tax
purposes and to prosecute any action or
22
proceeding in connection therewith. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder,
Tenant shall be authorized to collect any tax refund of any tax paid by Tenant
obtained by reason thereof and to retain the same.
(c) Landlord agrees that whenever Landlord's cooperation is
required in any of the proceedings brought by Tenant as aforesaid, Landlord will
reasonably cooperate therein, provided same shall not entail any cost, liability
or expense to Landlord and Tenant will pay, indemnify and save Landlord harmless
of and from, any and all liabilities, losses, judgments, decrees, costs and
expenses (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection
with any such contest and will, promptly after the final settlement fully pay
and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or
be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith and Tenant shall
perform and observe all acts and obligations the performance of which shall be
ordered or decreed as a result thereof. No such contest shall subject Landlord
or any Superior Lessor or Mortgagee to the risk of any material civil liability
or the risk of any criminal liability, and Tenant shall give such reasonable
indemnity or security to Landlord, any Superior Lessor and. any Mortgagee as may
reasonably be demanded by any of them to insure compliance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 20.
21. SIGNS. Tenant may, during the term of this Lease, upon obtaining
any and all necessary permits from governmental authorities paint or erect and
maintain, at its cost and expense, signs of such dimensions and materials as it
may reasonably deem appropriate in or about the Leased Premises. Such signs
shall be removed by Tenant upon the termination of its occupancy of the Leased
Premises.
22. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Except in the case of condemnation described
in subsection 12(a), at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this
Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition as the
Leased Premises were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease,
reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall surrender all keys for the Leased
Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and shall
inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the
Leased Premises. Tenant shall at such time remove all Tenant's Property, as well
as any alterations or improvements, if requested to do so by Landlord and shall
repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused thereby, and any or all of such
properly not so removed shall, at Landlord's option, become the exclusive
property of Landlord or be disposed of by Landlord, at Tenant's cost and
expense, without further notice to or demand upon Tenant. Tenant agrees that if
Tenant does not surrender the Lease Premises to Landlord at the end term of this
Lease, then Tenant will pay to Landlord, to the extent permitted by law, one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of the rent paid by Tenant for the
last full month of the term for each month or portion thereof that Tenant holds
over, unless such holdover is expressly permitted in advance by Landlord in
writing. Furthermore, at all times, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss
or liability resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased
Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
occupant founded on such delay. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this
covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this
Lease.

Lease or the service of any notice of commencement of any suit or final judgment
for possession shall reinstate, continue or extend the term of this Lease or

Landlord in the Leased Premises for the satisfaction of Tenant's and such
persons' remedies and claims for damages.

specifically so state, and shall be payable, unless otherwise provided in this
Lease, on demand by Landlord and in the case of the non-payment of any such
amount, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and
remedies, all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or by

any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease (including, without
limitation, its obligations to make repairs, maintain various policies of
insurance, comply with all Laws and pay all Impositions and bills for
utilities), then ten (10) days after the giving of written notice of such breach
to Tenant (except that prior written notice shall not be required in the event
of an emergency) Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to cure such
breach at Tenant's cost and expense. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord (as
additional rent) for all losses, costs, damages and expenses resulting therefrom

omission) of Tenant, any mechanic's or other lien, charge or order for the

Landlord, any Superior Lessor, any Mortgagee and/or any portion of the Leased
Premises (whether or not such lien, charge, order or encumbrance is valid or
enforceable as such), Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, cause same to be
discharged of record or bonded within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant of
the filing or imposition thereof; and Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord
against and save Landlord harmless from all losses, costs, damages, expenses,

or other lien for any such labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment
shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of the Landlord in and to the
Leased Premises.

Landlord is unwilling to enter into any lease of the Leased Premises unless the
statutory rights of redemption after an eviction proceeding and to a de novo
trial after an eviction action shall be waived by Tenant (unless such second or
further trial results from an Appellate Court decision reversing the decision of
the first trial) and Tenant being willing to waive all such rights of redemption
conferred by statute in order that it may secure this lease, Tenant covenants
and agrees that in the event of an eviction action or any other action or
proceeding to dispossess, terminating this Lease, the right of redemption
provided or permitted by any Laws, and the right
25
to any trial de novo or further trial provided or permitted by any Laws, shall
be and hereby are expressly waived (unless such trial de novo results from an
Appellate Court decision reversing the decision of the first trial). Tenant

may be provided for in and by the laws of the State in which the Leased Premises
is located, as the same may from time to time exist.

PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE. IT IS FURTHER MUTUALLY AGREED
THAT IN THE EVENT LANDLORD COMMENCES ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDING FOR NON-PAYMENT OF

Landlord and that the Tenant shall pay all costs and expense relating to the
Premises, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. Any amount or
obligation herein relating to the Premises which is not expressly declared to be

entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment, suspension or reduction of, or

or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement
between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties, or for
the failure of Landlord to deliver possession of the Premises on the
commencement of the term hereof, or for any other cause whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing any present or future Laws to the contrary
notwithstanding; it being the intention that the obligations of Landlord and
Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and
that the Minimum Rental, additional rent and all other charges and sums payable
by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the
obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express
provisions of this Lease; and Tenant covenants and agrees that it will remain
obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that it will not

successor to, Landlord, and notwithstanding any action with respect to this
Lease that may be taken by a trustee or receiver of Landlord or any assignee of,
or successor to, Landlord or by any court in any such proceeding. Except
specifically as provided in this Lease, Tenant waives all rights which may now
or hereafter be conferred by law (i) to quit, terminate, or surrender this Lease
or the Premises or any part thereof, or (ii) to any abatement, suspension,
deferment or reduction of the Minimum Rental, Additional Rent, or any other sums
payable under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained

be a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant, whether or not Landlord knows
of such default. No waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by either

the Leased Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenant's trustee and
this Lease, upon the election of Landlord, shall terminate, but Landlord's right
to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages
pursuant to Section 19 or the exercise of any other remedies in any such
proceeding) shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.
(b) In the event that a voluntary petition for reorganization

relief under Chapter 7 in a case which is then transferred to Chapter 11,
Tenant's trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession must elect to assume this
Lease within 60 days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter

obligation to Tenant or Tenant's trustee and this Lease, upon the election of
Landlord shall terminate, but Landlord's right to be compensated for damages
(including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to Section 19 or the
exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding) shall survive, whether or
not this Lease shall be terminated.
(c) No election by Tenant's trustee or the

satisfied:
(i) Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession
has cured all defaults under this Lease, or has provided Landlord with evidence
satisfactory to Landlord that it will cure all defaults susceptible of being
cured by the payment of money within 10 days from the date of such assumption

of being cured by the performance of any act within 30 days after the date of
such assumption.
(ii) Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession
has compensated, or has provided Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord
that, within 10 days from the date of such assumption, it will compensate
Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the
default of Tenant, Tenant's trustee, or the debtor-in-possession as indicated in
any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenant's trustee or
the debtor-in-possession.
(iii) Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession
(A) has provided Landlord with "Assurance", as hereinbelow defined, of the
future performance of each of the obligations under this Lease of Tenant,
Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession and (B) shall, in addition to any
other security deposits held by Landlord, deposit with Landlord, as security for
the timely payment of Minimum Rental and for the performance of all other
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to 3 monthly
installments of Minimum Rental and any percentage rental payable under this
Lease (both at the rate then payable), and (C) pay in advance to Landlord on the
date each installment of Minimum Rental is due and payable, one-twelfth of
33
Tenant's annual obligations for Impositions and insurance premiums to be made by
Tenant pursuant to this Lease. The obligations imposed upon Tenant's trustee or
the debtor-in-possession by this Section 33 shall continue with respect to
Tenant or any assignee of this Lease, after the conclusion of proceedings under
the Bankruptcy Code.
(iv) Such assumption will not breach or cause a
default under any provision of any other lease, Mortgage, financing agreement or
other agreement by which Landlord or the Superior Lessor is bound, relating to
the Leased Premises or any larger development of which the Leased Premises is a
part.
(d) For purposes of subsection (c)(iii) of this Section 33,
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that "Assurance" shall mean no less than: (i)
Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have
sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and
administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be
available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and (ii) to
secure to Landlord the obligations of Tenant, Tenant's trustee or the
debtor-in-possession and to assure the ability of Tenant, Tenant's trustee or
the debtor-in-possession to cure the defaults under this Lease, monetary and/or
non-monetary, there shall have been: (A) sufficient cash deposited with
Landlord, or (B) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating
sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or (C) Tenant's trustee or the
debtor-in-possession shall have granted to Landlord a valid and perfected first
lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of Tenant, Tenant's
trustee or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to
Landlord.
(e) In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with
subsection (b) of this Section 33 and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or files,
or has filed against it, a subsequent petition under any provision of the
Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute for relief of debtors, Landlord may, at
its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder, by giving
Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within 30 days after the
occurrence of either of such events.
(f) If Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession has
assumed this Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 33 for
the purpose of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so
assigned only if the proposed assignee has provided adequate assurance of future
performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be
performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all consideration for
such assignment whether cash or otherwise. As used in this subsection (f) of
this Section 33 "adequate assurance of future performance" shall mean at least
that clauses (B) and (C) of subsection (c) (iii) of this Section 33 and each of
the following conditions, has been satisfied:
(i) The proposed assignee has furnished Landlord
with a current financial statement audited by a certified public accountant
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
consistently applied indicating a credit rating, net worth and working capital
in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the
future performance of such assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease,
but in no event
34
indicating a net worth less than the net worth of the Tenant and any Guarantors
of this Lease, on the date of execution hereof.
(ii) Such assignment will not breach or cause a
default under any provision of any other lease, Mortgage, financing agreement or
other agreement by which Landlord or the Superior Lessor is bound, relating to
the Leased Premises or any larger development of which the Leased Premises is a
part.
(iii) The proposed assignment will not release or
impair any Guarantee under this Lease.
(g) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant's trustee or
the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy
charges for the use of the Leased Premises, such charges shall not be less than
the Minimum Rental and all additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease
and shall be paid at the times and when due as though such charges were Minimum
Rental and additional rent.
(h) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
neither the whole nor any portion of Tenant's interest in this Lease or its
estate in the Leased Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, or any other similar person or entity or otherwise by
operation of law under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal statute now or
hereinafter enacted, or under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the
person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall have consented to such
transfer in writing. No acceptance by Landlord of rent or any other payments
from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be
deemed to constitute such consent by Landlord nor shall it be deemed a waiver of
Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest
under this Lease without such consent.
34. LATE CHARGES.
(a) Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Premises. Accordingly, if
any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received
by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after the date on which
such sum is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 3% of such
overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late
payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default. with respect to such overdue amount,
nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies
granted hereunder.
(b) Any amount due Landlord not paid within ten (10) days
after the date on which such amount is due shall bear interest at the Maximum
Rate from the due date of such
35
amount. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant
under this Lease.
