herein. In seeking such consent, Tenant shall advise Landlord as to whether (a)
Tenant proposes to remove such alterations, changes or improvements at the
expiration of the Term or (b) leave the same in the Demised Premises, whereupon
the same shall become the property of Landlord upon the expiration of the Term,
and such consent, if granted by Landlord, shall be upon such condition that
Tenant either so remove or leave such alterations, changes or improvements, as

expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may from time to
time make non-structural alterations, changes or improvements to the Demised
Premises provided that the aggregate cost of such alterations, changes or

excepted.

Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees against which insurance is not
required hereunder excepted. In this regard, it shall be the obligation of
Tenant to provide ordinary and routine maintenance of the Demised Premises,
including ordinary and routine maintenance of the mechanical systems in the

Ordinary and routine maintenance and repair shall mean maintenance and repair
expenses which would not be capitalized under generally accepted accounting
practices.
11. INSURANCE; CASUALTY.
11.1 Landlord shall maintain, throughout the Term, policies of
insurance covering damage to the Demised Premises, excluding Tenant's fixtures,
or equipment, in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing

leakage insurance. Landlord shall furnish Tenant, upon written demand therefor,
a copy of such policies or a certificate evidencing such insurance.

of its intention to cancel or terminate the insurance policy or policies and
shall cover the entire Demised Premises.

proceeds of any insurance shall be used by Tenant to repair the Demised Premises
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.4 or (b) Tenant may
terminate this Lease in which case the estate and interest of Tenant in the
Demised Premises shall immediately terminate and Rent and additional rent
hereunder shall be adjusted as of the date of such casualty.
11.4 In case at any time or times during the Term, the Demised Premises
shall be damaged other than as described in Section 11.3 hereof, then the
proceeds of any insurance maintained hereunder for the Demised Premises (and not

to a mutually acceptable escrow agent for the joint account of Landlord and
Tenant, to be held by such escrow agent in trust, for the purpose of paying the
cost of the repair or replacement of the Demised Premises, to such extent as may
be necessary, and so far as sufficient for said purpose, and the same shall be
paid over promptly by such escrow agent, without hindrance or delay, to Tenant,
at such times as Tenant shall be obligated to make payments upon building
contracts for such repairs and upon certificates of the architect, if any, in
charge of such repairs, and in the absence of an architect, upon the furnishing
of receipted bills for all materials and labor used, it being understood and
agreed that, in the event of damage to any building or buildings or structure or
structures upon the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty Tenant will
proceed with all reasonable diligence to cause said building or buildings to be
-4-
repaired in the manner herein provided, as soon as possible, to the condition
such property was in immediately prior to such damage. Any balance of insurance
in excess of the foregoing requirement shall be the property of Tenant and shall
be promptly paid over to Tenant by such escrow agent.

thereafter, Landlord, at its option, and with or without process of law, shall
have the right to terminate this Lease and to enter upon the Demised Premises
and to expel Tenant and those claiming under Tenant, without being guilty of any

this Lease shall terminate immediately and Rent and additional rent hereunder
shall be adjusted as of the date of such condemnation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to any award attributable to the value of
its leasehold improvements and to the cost of relocating its business but such
rights shall not in any way operate to reduce the award to which Landlord might
otherwise be entitled.
15.2 In case at any time or times during the Lease Term the Demised
Premises shall be taken or condemned other than as described in Section 15.1
hereof, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord

Tenant's leasehold improvements, which amounts shall belong to Tenant). In such
event, Rent payable hereunder shall be proportionately and equitably reduced to
reflect such taking.

and occupancy of the Premises, no hazardous material (except customary products

disposed of, spilled or leaked by Tenant, its officers, agents or employees, in,
on or upon the Demised Premises, or surrounding real property, and that neither
Tenant, nor any of its officers, agents or employees, will bring in, on or
incorporate into the Demised Premises, any asbestos or other hazardous material.
Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its affiliates,
and their respective officers, agents and employees, from and against any and
all claims, damages, costs, liabilities and/or fees expenses, (including the
fees and expenses of counsel, consultants and site investigations) including

-7-
16.3. For purposes of this Lease, "hazardous materials" shall mean any
substance which is regulated under any federal or state law, regulation or rule

Landlord in writing of such presence within sixty (60) days after its discovery
of such materials, such removal, abatement or neutralization shall be
accomplished at no cost or expense to the Tenant, unless such removal, abatement
or neutralization is required as a result of the Tenant or its contractors or
their respective employees or agents bringing or releasing such hazardous
materials onto the Demised Premises, in which event the Tenant shall be
responsible for such removal, abatement or neutralization. If, while the
Landlord is in the process of satisfying its requirement to remove, xxxxx or
neutralize any hazardous materials as aforesaid, the Tenant shall be required to

covenants and the waiver of the breach of any covenant contained herein by
Landlord shall in no way or manner discharge or relieve Tenant from Tenant's
obligation to perform each and every one of the covenants contained herein.
17.2 If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to any
person or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of
this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
17.3 The failure of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to insist
in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of
this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of a relinquishment for the future
of such covenant. A payment of Rent by Tenant or a receipt by Landlord of Rent,
additional rent or other amount with knowledge in either case of the breach of
any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver
by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have
been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord or Tenant, as the
case may be.
18. LANDLORD'S TITLE; SUBORDINATION.
18.1 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord is the
owner of the Demised Premises in fee simple and that the same are subject to
only those liens and encumbrances set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
Landlord further represents and warrants that all mortgagees have agreed (or
with respect to future mortgagees, will agree) in writing that to the extent
that they are the recipients of any insurance or condemnation proceeds pursuant
to Sections 11 and 15, they shall be bound to fulfill the Landlord's obligations
with respect thereto.
18.2 This Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and
subordinate in all respects to all matters of record, including, without
limitation, all mortgages which may now or hereafter be placed on or affect the
Demised Premises, or any part thereof, and/or Landlord's interest or estate
therein, and to each advance made and/or hereafter to be made under any such
mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof, and all substitutions therefor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
before such subordination shall be effective as to any mortgage or any other
matter of record, Landlord shall cause the mortgagee, or other party in
-8-
interest, as the case may be, to deliver to Tenant, in proper form for
recording, the agreement of such mortgagee or other party that (a) no
foreclosure of such mortgage or any other person claiming by or through or under
such mortgagee (or other interest) shall disturb the possession of Tenant under
this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder and (b) that the
validity and continuance of this Lease (including without limitation the
obligation of such mortgagee to allocate insurance and condemnation proceeds in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 11 and 15) will be recognized.
Concurrently with the delivery of such an agreement, Tenant agrees to execute
and deliver an instrument in proper form for recording, in which Tenant agrees
to and does subordinate this Lease to the liens of such mortgagees and other
matters, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and replacements and
extensions thereof, and to any persons claiming by, through or under such
mortgagees or other such persons interest. Tenant shall, at the written request
of Landlord, execute and deliver to any existing or future mortgagee a
certificate indicating whether any claims, defenses or offsets then exist
against Landlord, certifying that to the best of Tenant's knowledge, Landlord is
not in default hereunder and that this Lease is in full force and effect and
unmodified, except as specified in said certificate, indicating what rent has
been paid and agreeing that this Lease may not be modified without the consent
of such mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
19. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; CONVEYANCE OF LANDLORD.
19.1 In the event that Landlord desires to sell all or any portion of
the Demised Premises and receives a bona fide offer therefor (the "Offer"),
which Offer Landlord is prepared to accept, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in

mailing address of the prospective purchaser ("Prospective Purchaser"), the
portion of the Demised Premises proposed to be sold, the price to be received
therefor and the Landlord's Offer to sell the Demised Premises to Tenant. A copy

Tenant shall thereupon be entitled for a period of fifteen (15) days after the
date of the Offeree Notice to purchase at the price and upon the terms set forth
in the Offeree Notice all or any portion of the Demised Premises. If Tenant
shall accept such Offer by written notice to Landlord within such time (such
notice specifying a closing date being the later of sixty (60) days from the
date thereof or the closing date specified in the Offer), such offer and
acceptance shall constitute a contract between them for the sale by Landlord and
the purchase by Tenant of the Demised Premises and shall not thereafter be
subject to rejection by either party.
19.2 If the Offer to sell is not so accepted by Tenant, Landlord may
thereafter sell the Demised Premises to such BONA FIDE third party purchaser on
the terms contained in the Offer. Any such sale and transfer must be consummated
within 180 days following the expiration of the time hereinabove provided for
the acceptance by Tenant. If the Demised Premises are sold to such third party,
the sale shall be subject to this Lease and all of the provisions hereof except
that this right of first refusal shall expire upon such conveyance.
19.3 Upon the date fixed for any purchase of the Demised Premises
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the purchase therefor and Landlord shall
convey its interest in the Demised Premises to Tenant by quitclaim deed.
20. PRIOR NEGOTIATIONS.
This Lease (including all exhibits hereto) merges and supersedes all
prior negotiations, representations and agreements and constitutes the entire
contract between the parties hereto concerning the leasing of the Demised
Premises, the improvements thereon and the other matters provided for herein.

without any lawful hindrance by Landlord and any person claiming by, through or
under it.
22. RETURN OF PREMISES; HOLDOVER.
22.1 At the expiration or other termination of the Term, Tenant will
remove from the Demised Premises its property and that of all claiming under it
and will peaceably yield up to Landlord the Demised Premises in as good
condition in all respects as the same were at the commencement of this Lease,
except for ordinary wear and tear, damage by the elements, by any exercise of
the right of eminent domain or by any public or other authority, or damage not
caused by Tenant.
22.2 If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after the
expiration of the Term Tenant shall be deemed a holdover upon a month-to-month
tenancy subject, however, to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
except as to the Term and except that monthly Rent shall be one and one half
