Landlord shall not reduce or materially modify any portion of the Common Areas without Tenant's written consent.
Section 3.03. Payment of Additional Rent.
In addition to the Minimum Annual Rent specified in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as "Additional Rent" for the Leased Premises, in each calendar year or partial calendar year, during the Lease Term, an amount equal to the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year or partial calendar year. In the case of the calendar year of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide such notice prior to the Commencement Date. The Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes shall be estimated annually by Landlord, and written notice thereof shall be given to Tenant prior to the beginning of each calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, at the same time the Monthly Rental Installment is due, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. If the cost of utility, janitorial or other services increase during a calendar year, Landlord may increase the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes during such year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect, and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in each of the remaining months of such year, an amount equal to the amount of such increase in the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the remainder of the year divided by the number of months remaining in such year. Within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a statement showing the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the aforementioned statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall credit against the next rent payment or payments due from Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the preceding calendar year and the estimated amount paid by Tenant to Landlord during such year. In addition, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all Real Estate Taxes as defined in Section 3.02.D, above, directly to the appropriate taxing authority. If Tenant fails for any reason to pay the Real Estate Taxes when same is due and payable, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the Real Estate Taxes directly to the taxing authority and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof. Such amount shall accrue interest from the date Landlord pays such amount, pursuant to Section 3.04, below, shall include any penalties, late fees and any interest assessed due to such delinquency.
Tenant or its accountants shall have the right to inspect, at reasonable time and in a reasonable manner, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the delivery of Landlord's statement of the actual amount of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes, such of Landlord's books of
-5-
account and records as pertain to and contain information concerning such costs and expenses for the Building for the prior calendar year in order to verify the amounts thereof.
In the event the first audit discloses (i) errors made during the prior calendar year which, when totaled, indicate that the sum overcharged to and paid by Tenant, exceeds five percent (5%) of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes plus Landlord's Share of Operating Expenses (the "Total Expenses"), the audit shall be at the expense of Landlord, not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), or (ii) no errors or an error which equals or is less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, the audit shall be at the expense of Tenant.
For each subsequent audit, where the audit discloses errors exceeding five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Landlord shall pay for such audit and, if the audit discloses errors equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Tenant shall pay the costs of the audit. If Landlord spends more than eight (8) hours to accommodate Tenant's right to audit hereunder, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) per hour for each additional hour that Tenant's audit takes of Landlord's property manager's or asset manager's time, provided such audit discloses no error or an error greater than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses. The results of the audit (regardless of the degree of the error, if any) shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord shall thereafter, if appropriate, change its method of calculating the Operating Expenses consistent with the results of the audit. Tenant agrees to hold the information obtained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose the same without Landlord's express written permission except as necessary to enforce the Lease or protect Tenant's rights hereunder.
If Tenant shall not elect to cause an audit within the time period permitted hereby, then Landlord's statement shall be conclusively deemed to have been approved and accepted by Tenant. Pending resolution of any dispute with respect to statements of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Tenant shall pay its Annual Rental Adjustment as shown on such statement, and upon final determination of the amount of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Landlord shall promptly refund any overpayment to Tenant or Tenant shall promptly pay any amount due to Landlord, as applicable.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall incur certain additional unanticipated administrative and legal costs and expenses if Tenant fails to timely pay any payment required hereunder. Therefore, in addition to the other remedies available to Landlord hereunder, if any payment required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall become overdue, such unpaid amount shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the prime rate (as defined by a bank or financial institution used by Landlord) of interest ("Prime Rate") plus six percent (6%) per annum.

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly restore utility service and in the event restoration of service is within Landlord's control and Landlord fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to restore such service within a reasonable time, thereby causing all or a material portion of the Leased Premises to be rendered untenantable (meaning that Tenant is unable to use such space in the normal course of its business) by Tenant for the use permitted under this Lease for more than three (3) consecutive days after notice from Tenant to Landlord that such service has been interrupted, Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Rental Adjustment shall xxxxx on a per diem basis in the proportion which the untenantable portion of the Leased Premises bears to the total area of the Leased Premises for each day after such three (3) day period during which the Leased Premises remain untenantable.

Section 7.02. Repair and Maintenance of Leased Premises.
Landlord shall keep and maintain the Leased Premises in good order, condition and repair, the costs of which shall be included in Operating Expenses to the extent provided in Section 3.02, provided, however, that to the extent any items in the Leased Premises require repair because of the negligence, misuse or default of Tenant, its employees or agents, Landlord shall make such repairs solely at Tenant's expense except to the extent covered by insurance of the type to be maintained by Landlord hereunder.
Tenant shall not permit alterations in or to the Leased Premises unless and until the plans have been approved by Landlord in writing, which approval as to interior non-structural alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right without Landlord's consent, and in compliance with all other provisions of this Section, to make any non-structural alterations to the Leased Premises which do not materially impact the Building's mechanical or electrical systems, do not adversely affect the Building's appearance or value, and the cost of which does not exceed Forty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($45,000.00) in the aggregate, provided that Tenant gives Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such alterations, along with copies of plans and specifications relating thereto. As a condition of such approval (or, with respect to any alterations permitted to be made by Tenant hereunder without Landlord's approval), Landlord hereby agrees that, upon written request by Tenant, at the time that Tenant is contemplating alterations, Landlord will inform Tenant as to whether such proposed alterations will be required to be removed by Tenant and restore the Leased Premises at the end of the Lease Term; otherwise, all such alterations shall at Landlord's option become a part of the realty and the property of Landlord, and shall not be removed by Tenant. Tenant shall ensure that all alterations shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and building codes, in a good and workmanlike manner and of quality equal to or better than the original construction of the Building. No person shall be entitled to any lien derived through or under Tenant for any labor or material furnished to the Leased Premises, and nothing in this Lease shall be construed to constitute a consent by Landlord to the creation of any lien. If any lien is filed against the Leased Premises for work claimed to have been done for or material claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall cause such lien to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after filing. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from all costs, losses, expenses and attorneys' fees in connection with any construction or alteration under this Section 7.03, not performed by Landlord or an affiliate, and any related lien.
Any trade fixtures installed on the Leased Premises by Tenant at its own expense, such as movable partitions, counters, shelving, showcases, mirrors and the like, may, and, at the request of Landlord, shall be removed on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant is not then in default, that Tenant bears the cost of such removal, and further that Tenant repairs at its own expense any and all damage to the Leased Premises resulting from such removal. If Tenant fails to remove any and all such trade fixtures from the Leased Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all such trade fixtures shall become the property of Landlord unless Landlord elects to require their removal,
-10-
in which case Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly remove the same and restore the Leased Premises to their prior condition.
In the event of total or partial destruction of the Building or the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty, Landlord agrees to promptly restore and repair the Building or Leased Premises; provided, however, Landlord's obligation hereunder shall be limited to the reconstruction of the Building, Leased Premises, the Tenant Finish Improvements (as such term is defined in that certain Office Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2001 by and between Duke-Weeks Realty Limited Partnership and Tenant) as were originally required to be made by Landlord and the Tenant Improvements as set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice within thirty (30) days of the casualty of Landlord's estimated date to complete such restoration and repair. In the event that such notice discloses that such date of completion is more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the casualty date, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon a schedule for the completion of such repair or rebuilding. If no such agreement is reached within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of notice estimating the date of completion, Tenant may terminate this Lease, effective upon the date of casualty, by delivery of written notice thereof to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the thirty (30) day negotiating period identified above. Rent shall proportionately xxxxx during the time that the Leased Premises or part thereof are unusable because of any such damage until substantial completion of the restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Leased Premises are destroyed by a casualty which is not covered by the insurance required hereunder or, if covered, such insurance proceeds are not released by any mortgagee entitled thereto or are insufficient to rebuild the Building, then Landlord may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the casualty, terminate this Lease with respect to matters thereafter accruing.

Tenant's obligation to indemnify Landlord hereunder shall include the duty to defend against any claims asserted by reason of such loss, damage or injury and to pay any judgments, settlements, costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith.

(iv)Business Interruption Insurance. Business Interruption Insurance with limits of not less than an amount equal to two (2) years rent hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect not to carry Business Interruption Insurance; provided, however, that in such event Tenant shall release Landlord from any and all liability arising during the Lease Term that would have been covered by such Business Interruption Insurance had Tenant elected to carry such coverage.
(v)Automobile Insurance. Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance insuring bodily injury and property damage arising from all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, if any, with minimum limits of liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, per accident.

Upon Tenant's receipt of a request from Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of certificates of insurance, evidencing the coverages required hereunder. If Tenant fails to carry such insurance and furnish Landlord with such certificates of insurance or copies of insurance policies (if applicable), Landlord may obtain such insurance on Tenant's behalf and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the cost thereof as Additional Rent. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to require Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts or different types of insurance if it becomes customary for other landlords of similar buildings in the area to require similar sized tenants in similar industries to carry insurance of such higher minimum amounts or of such different types.
Section 9.03. Landlord's Responsibility.
Landlord shall assume the risk of, be responsible for, have the obligation to insure against, and indemnify Tenant and hold it harmless from, any and all liability for any loss of or damage or injury to person (including death resulting therefrom) or property (other than Tenant's property as provided in Section 8.02) occurring in, on or about the Common Areas, regardless of cause, except for that caused by the sole negligence of Tenant and its employees, agents, customers and invitees; and Landlord hereby releases Tenant from any and all liability for the same.

Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of certificates of insurance evidencing all required coverage under Section 8.02 and Section 9.04. In addition, Landlord shall name Tenant as an additional insured on such insurance policy or policies and furnish Tenant with a certificate of insurance upon request. In addition to the foregoing, it is the policy of the named Landlord herein that all third party service providers that enter the Common Areas maintain commercially reasonable insurance in connection with such party’s activities within the Common Areas.
If all or any substantial part of the Building or Common Areas shall be acquired by the exercise of eminent domain, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days after possession thereof is so taken. If all or any part of the Building, Leased Premises or Common Areas shall be acquired by the exercise of eminent domain so that the Leased Premises shall become untenantable by Tenant and inadequate for the Permitted Use, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after possession thereof is so taken. All damages awarded shall belong to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may claim dislocation damages if such amount is not subtracted from Landlord's award. If a part of the Leased
-13-
Premises, Building or Common Areas shall be taken or conveyed but the remaining part is tenantable and adequate for Tenant's use, then this Lease shall be terminated as to the part taken or conveyed as of the date Tenant surrenders possession; Landlord shall make such repairs, alterations and improvements as may be necessary to render the part not taken or conveyed tenantable to the extent the condemnation award proceeds received by Landlord are sufficient therefor; and the rent shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises so taken or conveyed.
ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises in whole or in part without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event of any permitted assignment or subletting to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall be released from further liability hereunder with regard to such assigned or sublet portion of the Leased Premises for the term of same. The acceptance of rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or to be a consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Leased Premises. Without in any way limiting Landlord's right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to refuse to give such consent if in Landlord's reasonable opinion the Leased Premises or Building are or may be in any way adversely affected by the business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant is unacceptable. If Landlord refuses to give its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting of all or substantially all of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, at its option, within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the proposal, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant one hundred twenty (120) days' prior written notice of such termination, whereupon each party shall be released from all further obligations and liability hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign the Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Leased Premises without Landlord's consent to any of the following (a "Permitted Transferee"): (i) any successor corporation or other entity resulting from a public offering, merger or consolidation of Tenant; (ii) any purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets; or (iii) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment or sublease. Any Permitted Transferee shall assume in writing all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall nevertheless at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of rent and the performance and observance of all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to nor shall permit Tenant to transfer its interest under this Lease as part of a fraud or subterfuge to intentionally avoid its obligations under this Lease (for example, transferring its interest to a shell corporation that subsequently files a bankruptcy), and any such transfer shall constitute a Default hereunder.
ARTICLE 12 - TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD
Section 12.01. Sale of the Building.
Landlord shall have the right to sell the Building at any time during the Lease Term, subject only to the rights of Tenant hereunder; and such sale shall operate to release Landlord from liability hereunder after the date of such conveyance, provided the new owner assumes all liability hereunder.
Section 12.02. Subordination and Estoppel Certificate.
Landlord shall have the right to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage presently existing or hereafter placed upon the Building by so declaring in such mortgage, provided the mortgagee executes a non-disturbance, attornment and subordination agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord,
-14-
without cost, any instrument reasonably necessary to confirm the subordination of this Lease and an estoppel certificate in such form as Landlord may reasonably request certifying (i) that, as to Tenant, this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified or stating the nature of any modification, (ii) the date to which rent has been paid, (iii) that there are not, to Tenant's actual knowledge, any uncured defaults or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) any other matters or state of facts reasonably required respecting the Lease, provided that such matters or state of facts are limited to Tenant's actual knowledge. Such estoppel may be relied upon by Landlord and by any purchaser or mortgagee of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the mortgagee shall take title to the Leased Premises through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall be allowed to continue in possession of the Leased Premises as provided for in this Lease so long as Tenant shall not be in default. Landlord represents that the Building is not encumbered by a mortgage as of the Effective Date. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from any future mortgagee of the Building within thirty (30) days after the recording of any future mortgage.
ARTICLE 13 - DEFAULT AND REMEDY
The occurrence of any of the following shall be a "Default":
(a)Tenant fails to pay any Monthly Rental Installment or Additional Rent within ten (10) days after the same is due, or Tenant fails to pay any other amounts due Landlord from Tenant within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
(b)Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to cure, then such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Tenant commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently completes the required action within a reasonable time.
(c)Tenant shall assign or sublet all or a portion of the Leased Premises in contravention of the provisions of Article 11 of this Lease.
(d)All or substantially all of Tenant's assets in the Leased Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease are attached or levied under execution (and Tenant does not discharge the same within sixty (60) days thereafter); a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement is filed by or against Tenant (and Tenant fails to secure a stay or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days thereafter); the admission in writing by Tenant that Tenant is insolvent and unable to pay its debts as they become due; Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; Tenant takes the benefit of any insolvency action or law; the appointment of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant or its assets if such receivership has not been vacated or set aside within thirty (30) days thereafter.
In addition to the above Defaults, the parties agree that if there shall be three (3) or more Defaults under paragraph (a) of this section during any twelve (12) month period, regardless of whether such Defaults are ultimately cured, then such Defaults shall, at Landlord's option, represent a separate Default.
-15-
Upon the occurrence of any Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law or in equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to Tenant:
(a)Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises and cure any Default of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for any costs and expenses which Landlord thereby incurs; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage which Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord's action.
(b)Landlord may terminate this Lease and thereafter (i) neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord; and (ii) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other occupants of the Leased Premises by any lawful means and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have. Upon the termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises, with or without terminating this Lease, Landlord may declare the present value discounted at a rate of ten percent (10%) of all rent which would have been due under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term less the present value discounted at the rate of ten percent (10%) of all net rent that Landlord reasonably estimates that Landlord will receive via a reletting of the Leased Premises for the balance of the Lease Term after taking into account anticipated vacancy periods, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to pay the same to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of Tenant's Default ("Default Damages"), which shall include without limitation expenses of preparing the Leased Premises for re-letting, demolition, repairs, tenant finish improvements and brokers' and attorneys' fees, it being expressly understood and agreed that the liabilities and remedies specified in this subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Lease.
(c)Landlord may, without terminating this Lease, re-enter the Leased Premises and re-let on a commercially reasonable terms all or any part thereof for a term different from that which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and for rent and on terms and conditions different from those contained herein, whereupon Tenant shall be immediately obligated to pay to Landlord as liquidated damages the present value (as calculated in subsection (b) above of the difference between the rent provided for herein and that provided for in any lease covering a subsequent re-letting of the Leased Premises, for the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term, together with all of Landlord's Default Damages.
(d)Landlord may xxx for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from the breach.
(e)If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, Landlord's duty to mitigate its damages under this Lease shall be as follows: (1) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to lease other space in other buildings which it leases, and (2) Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if it incurs costs and expenses for repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises (whether to prevent damage or to prepare the Leased Premises for reletting), brokerage commissions, advertising costs, attorneys' fees, any economic incentives given to replacement tenants, and costs of collecting rent from replacement tenants.
-16-
The obligations set forth in this paragraph shall not serve to shift the burden of proof from Tenant to Landlord with respect to proving whether or not Landlord mitigated its damages.
Section 13.03. Landlord's Default and Tenant's Remedies.
Landlord shall be in default if it fails to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is such that it cannot reasonably be performed within thirty days, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty-day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Tenant may xxx for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss directly resulting from the breach, but Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or withhold, offset or xxxxx any sums due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a default under and breach of this Lease by Landlord if it shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by it under this Lease, which failure prevents Tenant from conducting its normal business operations in the Leased Premises, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is of such nature that the same cannot reasonably be performed within such ten-day period, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said ten-day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same and does so complete the required action within a reasonable time. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Tenant may xxx for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from the breach, but Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or withhold or xxxxx any rent due hereunder except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Emergency Situation, as hereinafter defined, if the default is not cured after reasonable notice to (or diligent attempts to notify) Landlord, Tenant may cure the default at Landlord’s expense, provided that such cure is not more extensive than is reasonably necessary under the circumstances. “Emergency Situation” as used in this Section means a situation which poses an immediate threat to the physical well-being of persons in or on the Leased Premises or of damage to property in or on the Leased Premises.
Section 13.04. Limitation of Landlord's Liability.
If Landlord shall fail to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease and if Tenant shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to Landlord's right, title and interest in and to the Building and proceeds thereof for the collection of such judgment; and Tenant further agrees that no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other process for the satisfaction of Tenant's judgment.
-17-
Section 13.05. Nonwaiver of Defaults.
Neither party's failure or delay in exercising any of its rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall constitute a waiver thereof or affect its right thereafter to exercise or enforce such right or remedy or other provision. No waiver of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other default. Landlord's receipt of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant's check or any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.
Section 13.06. Attorneys' Fees.
If either party defaults in the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or obligations contained in this Lease and the non-defaulting party obtains a judgment against the defaulting party, then the defaulting party agrees to reimburse the non-defaulting party for the attorneys' fees incurred thereby.

Tenant shall be responsible for repairing any such damages to the structure, or, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall repair any such damage at Tenant's sole cost and expense and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for said costs and expenses upon receipt of Landlord's invoice.
d.Tenant shall install, operate and maintain the Dishes in accordance with Governmental Laws. Prior to installation of the Dishes, Tenant shall, on behalf of the installer, provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
e.Tenant reserves the right to discontinue its use of all or any of the Dishes at any time prior to the termination of the Lease or any renewal or extension thereof for any reason whatsoever, provided that Tenant gives thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall be
-22-
responsible for all costs of removal and shall repair all damage to the Building caused thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord to remove the Dishes in the event any governmental entity or applicable law or regulation requires removal thereof. Such removal shall be in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant elects not to remove the Dishes from the Building, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or after expiration of the ten (10) day notice period provided herein, Landlord may deem the Dish(es) to have been abandoned by Tenant and they shall become the property of Landlord.
f.Any language in the Lease notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be liable and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liability, damages (including but not limited to personal injury, death, or property damages), costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord arising from any Dish related cause whatsoever, including those arising from the installation, use, maintenance and removal thereof, except to the extent of Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct and only to the extent not covered by insurance required to be maintained by Landlord.
g.Notwithstanding the grant of this right, Landlord shall maintain control over the roof of the Building, and nothing herein shall be deemed Landlord's consent for Tenant to use the roof for any other purpose than the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the Dishes in conjunction with the operation of its business.
h.Tenant represents and warrants that it shall use the Dishes solely for its own use and not for any "resale", leasing or licensing use.
Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use all surface parking areas located on the Land. Collectively, such surface and underground parking areas shall contain a minimum of four (4) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of space in the Building at all times during the Term hereof. Subject to Governmental Laws, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to designate all or any portion of such parking as reserved parking or visitor only parking. Tenant shall not be required to pay a fee for the use of such parking spaces. Only one vehicle shall be parked in each space at any one time.
