5.1 Payment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, throughout the Lease Term, the Tenant will pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the

that the Landlord is to comply with in order to carry out and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Landlord will have no responsibility of any kind with respect to any Legal Requirement, except for such Legal Requirements as the Landlord
must comply with in order to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, which obligations shall be complied with by the Landlord at the Landlord's expense.
7.2 Permitted Contest. The Tenant will have the right to contest the validity or application of any Legal Requirement which the Tenant is hereunder required to comply with, by
diligent pursuit of appropriate legal
4
proceedings conducted at the Tenant's expense. Any such contest may be brought in the name of the Landlord if required by law, and the Landlord agrees to execute and deliver such instruments as are reasonably requested by the Tenant to
facilitate such contest. If allowed by law, the Tenant may delay compliance with the contested Legal Requirement until final determination of the contest; provided, that if the failure of the Tenant to comply with the disputed Legal Requirement will
subject the Land, the Improvements or any part thereof to forfeiture or the Landlord to liability arising from such noncompliance, the Tenant will promptly comply with the Legal Requirement or deposit with the Landlord such collateral or other assurance
as might be reasonably required by the Landlord to protect the Land, the Improvements and the Landlord from liability or forfeiture by reason of such noncompliance.
7.3 Evidence of Compliance. The Tenant agrees to furnish to the Landlord within ten (10) days after the Landlord's written request therefor such permits, orders, certificates

The Tenant will have the right to contest any such claim by diligent pursuit of appropriate legal proceedings which may be conducted by the Tenant at the Tenant's expense in the name of the Landlord, if legally required. If at any time during the contest of such claim the Land, or the Landlord's interest hereunder becomes subject to forfeiture, or if the Landlord becomes subject to liability arising from nonpayment of the same, the Tenant will promptly pay the disputed claim or will deposit with the Landlord such collateral or other assurances as might be, reasonably required by the Landlord to protect the Land, the Improvements, the Landlord's interest hereunder and the Landlord from liability or forfeiture by reason of such claim.

SECTION 11. INDEMNITY; INSURANCE
11.1 Indemnity. During the Lease Term, the Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties; causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Landlord or asserted against the interest of the Landlord in the Land, the Improvements or this Agreement which do not result from the Landlord's failure to perform the obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement or the willful act or negligence of the Landlord, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees and invitees and which arise by reason of: (a) any injury to or death of any person or any damage to property located in or on the Premises; (b) any failure by the Tenant to perform the obligations of the Tenant under this Agreement; or (c) any negligence or willful act on the part of the Tenant or any of the Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, licensees or

judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Tenant or asserted against the interest of the Tenant in the Land, the Improvements or this Agreement which do not result from the
Tenant's failure to perform the obligations under this Agreement or the willful act or negligence of the Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees and invitees. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Tenant by reason of any
such occurrence, the Landlord, promptly after the written request of the Tenant, will defend such action, suit or proceeding at the Landlord's expense with legal counsel designated by the Landlord which is reasonably acceptable to the Tenant.
11.2 Insured Risks. Throughout the Lease Term the Tenant will, at the Tenant's expense, maintain: (a) insurance against loss or damage to the Building and the Improvements by
fire, lightening, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, aircraft, vehicles, smoke and other risks commonly included in extended coverage policies written in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable value of the Building and the
Improvements (any insurance policy maintained by the Tenant will exclude any coinsurance provision obligation); (b) public liability and property damage insurance applicable to the Premises in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord; (c)

issued by companies and in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord in all other respects. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Landlord agrees that the Tenant may effect such insurance by adding the Building, the Improvements and the Land, where
appropriate, to one or more so-called "blanket" policies maintained by the Tenant, provided that such insurers and such policies are reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord.
11.4 Evidence of Policies. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement and continuously thereafter during the Lease Term, the Tenant will deliver to the Landlord
certificates of insurance evidencing such policies of insurance as required by this Agreement.
SECTION 12. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
12.1 Notice. In case of damage to the Premises in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), the Tenant will promptly give written notice thereof to
the Landlord describing the nature and extent of the casualty.
12.2 Restoration. If the Building and/or the Improvements are damaged or destroyed during the Lease Term and all of the insurance proceeds from policies required hereunder and
which are paid in connection with
7
such damage or loss to the Building and/or the Improvements are made available to the Tenant to make such repairs or restoration, the Tenant will as soon as practicable after the casualty restore such portion of the Premises as nearly as
possible to the condition which existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction. The Tenant will not be entitled to any offset or abatement in Rent or to any termination or extension of the Lease Term as a result of deprivation or limitation of
use of the Premises occasioned by any casualty, or by repairs or replacements required by this Section 12.2.
12.3 Insurance Proceeds. Insurance proceeds will be applied by the Tenant to the payment of the costs of restoration as such costs are incurred. After full payment of all
costs of restoring the Premises, any balance of insurance proceeds will be paid to the Tenant.
SECTION 13. EMINENT DOMAIN
13.1 Total Taking. If, during the Lease Term, all of the Land and the Improvements are taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by
purchase in lieu thereof, or if less than all of the Land and the Improvements are taken, but the Improvements cannot be restored to an economically useful unit, this Agreement will terminate on the date of vesting of title to the Land and Improvements in
the condemnor. The rights of the Landlord and the Tenant to the award or awards arising from any such taking will be determined in accordance with Section 13.6 of this Agreement.
13.2 Partial Taking. If less than all of the Land and the Improvements are taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and
the Improvements can be restored to an economically useful unit and can be used by the Tenant in substantially the same manner as such was being used by the Tenant before such taking, this Agreement will not terminate but will continue in full force and
effect (except for the adjustment to the Rent as provided below) for the remainder of the Lease Term with respect to that portion of the Land and the Improvements which is not the subject of the taking. The rights of the Landlord and the Tenant to the
award or awards arising from any such taking will be determined in accordance with Section 13.6 of this Agreement. In such event,, the Tenant agrees, at Tenant's expense, to restore that portion of the Improvements not so taken to a complete
architectural unit of substantially the same usefulness, design, construction and character as the Improvements existing before such taking; provided, however, the Tenant shall have no obligation to make any repairs to or restoration of the Improvements
the cost of which exceeds that portion of the award for such taking made available to the Tenant to restore that portion of the Improvements not so taken. For the balance of the Lease Term, a just and appropriate part of the Rent, according to the nature
and extent of the taking, will be abated.
13.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any portion of the Land or the Improvements is taken by the exercise of the right of eminent domain for governmental occupancy for a limited
period, this Agreement will not terminate and the Tenant will continue to perform all of the Tenant's obligations hereunder as though such taking had not occurred (except to the extent that the Tenant is prevented from doing so by reason of such taking;
provided, in no event will the Tenant be excused from the payment of Rent and all other charges required to be paid by the Tenant under this Agreement). In the event of such taking, the Tenant will be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award
made for such taking (whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise) and the
8
Landlord hereby assigns such award to the Tenant, unless the period of governmental occupancy extends beyond the termination of the Lease Term, in which case the award will be apportioned between the Landlord and the Tenant as set forth
in Section 13.6 of this Agreement. The Tenant agrees to restore the Improvements to the condition which existed prior to such taking at the Tenant's expense at the termination of any such governmental occupancy, provided, however, the Tenant shall have
no obligation to make any repairs to or restoration of the Improvements the cost of which exceeds that portion of the award for such taking made available to the Tenant for such repairs or restoration.
13.4 Minor Taking. A taking of any bridge, vault, easement or portion of the Improvements projecting into any public way will not be deemed a taking of any part of the Land or
the Improvements for the purposes of this Section 13, and this Agreement will not be affected by any such taking. The Tenant will be entitled to receive any award made for any such taking and will make any alteration to the Improvements required by such
taking at the Tenant's expense.
13.5 Abatement of Rent. In the event of any partial taking of the Premises as set forth in Section 13.2 of this Agreement, the Rent payable by the Tenant with respect to that
portion of the Premises so taken will terminate on the date title to that portion of the Land and Improvements which is the subject of the taking vests in the condemnor and Rent will be apportioned as of the date of such vesting. The obligation of the
Tenant to pay Rent with respect to such portion during the remainder of the Lease Term will xxxxx on a proportionate basis based on that portion of the Premises remaining.
13.6 Apportionment of Award. If all or a portion of the Premises are taken as contemplated by Sections 13.1 or 13.2 of this Agreement, the Landlord and the Tenant agree that
the award(s) for any such taking will be apportioned in the following manner and paid in the following order:
13.6.1 Expenses. The award will first be applied to reimburse the Landlord and the Tenant for reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with obtaining the award.
13.6.2 Mortgage. The award will next be applied to Landlord's Mortgage.
13.6.3 Restoration Costs. Then to the extent that the Tenant is obligated to and restores the Improvements, the
award will next be applied to payment of the costs reasonably incurred by the Tenant in effecting such restoration.
13.6.4 Tenant's Lease. To the Tenant in an amount equal to the fair market value of that portion of the leasehold
interest taken at the date as of which the award is determined; this amount will be computed by: (i) determining the excess of the present worth of the fair rental value of the Premises for the remaining Lease Term less the present worth of the remaining
Rent payable by the Tenant for the remaining Lease Term then, (ii) determining an amount as the fair market value which is in the same proportion to that excess that the area of the Premises taken bears to the total Premises.
9
13.6.5 Landlord's Cost. Any balance of the award remaining after the foregoing applications will be
allocated to the Landlord.
13.7 Participation in Proceedings. The Landlord and the Tenant will each have the right at their respective expense to participate in any proceeding seeking to take all
or any portion of the Premises and any appeals which might be taken therefrom.
SECTION 14. FEE MORTGAGES
14.1 Landlord's Mortgage. This Agreement and the rights of the Tenant hereunder will be subject and subordinate to the First Fee Mortgage. The Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to furnish to the Tenant a nondisturbance agreement from the holder of the First Fee Mortgage. Landlord shall not modify or amend the terms of the First Fee Mortgage or refinance or increase the mortgage amount without the prior written consent of Tenant.
SECTION 15. DEFAULT; REMEDIES
15.1 Events of Default. The following events if not cured within the applicable cure period set forth in Section 15.2 hereof will be deemed to be Events of
Default by the Tenant under this Agreement: (a) failure to pay any Rent or other sums payable by the Tenant hereunder when such sums become due; (b) failure to comply with any material term of this Agreement to be observed by the Tenant; (c) abandonment
of any substantial portion of the Premises; (d) the filing by or against the Tenant of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar law; (e) the insolvency of the Tenant; (f) the making by the Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or (g) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Tenant or any material portion of the assets of the Tenant.
15.2 Notice; Opportunity to Cure. On the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 15.1, the Landlord will have the option to serve written notice thereof to the
Tenant specifying the nature of such default. In the event the Tenant, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord, cures a default arising from the events specified at Section 15.1(a) within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, or cures a
default arising from the events specified at Sections 15.1(b) through (g), inclusive, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (or if such default cannot be cured by the exercise of all diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period then
the Tenant will have such additional time as might be reasonable under the circumstances to cure such default), the Landlord and the Tenant will be restored to their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement as if no such event had occurred.
15.3 Remedies. On the failure of the Tenant to cure a default within the time provided and upon such becoming an Event of Default, the Landlord will have the option to do any
one or more of the following without any further notice or demand, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy permitted by law, in equity or by this Agreement:
15.3.1 Termination. The Landlord may terminate this Agreement, in which event the Tenant will immediately surrender the Premises to the
Landlord, but if the Tenant fails to do so, the Landlord may without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy the Landlord might have, enter and take possession of the
10
Premises and remove the Tenant and the Tenant's property therefrom without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages
therefor.
15.3.2 Reletting. The Landlord may enter and take possession of the Premises as the agent of the Tenant without
terminating this Agreement without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and the Landlord may relet the Premises as the agent of the Tenant and receive the rent therefor, in which event the Tenant will pay to the Landlord, on
demand, the cost of renovating, repairing and altering the Premises, except for obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement, and any deficiency that might arise by reason of such reletting; provided, however, the Landlord will have no duty to relet
the Premises and the failure of the Landlord to relet the Premises will not release or affect the Tenant's liability for Rent or for damages.
15.3.3 Option to Perform. The Landlord may perform or cause to be performed the obligations of the Tenant under
this Agreement and may enter the Premises to accomplish such purpose without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. The Tenant agrees to reimburse the Landlord on demand for any expense which the Landlord might incur in effecting
compliance with this Agreement on behalf of the Tenant, and the Tenant further agrees that the Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence of the Landlord or otherwise.
15.4 No Waiver. No action by the Landlord during the Lease Term will be deemed an acceptance by the Landlord of an attempted surrender of the Premises. No re-entry or taking
possession of the Premises by the Landlord will be construed as an election by the Landlord to terminate this Agreement, unless a written notice of termination is signed by the Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting, re-entry or taking possession,
the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Agreement for a pervious uncured Default. The acceptance by the Landlord or payment by the Tenant of Rent following the occurrence of an Event of Default will not be construed as the waiver
of such Event of Default unless the Landlord waives such Event of Default in writing. No waiver of any Event of Default by the Landlord will be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other or future Event of Default hereunder. Forbearance by the Landlord
to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default. No provision of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived by the Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by the Landlord.
The rights and remedies granted to the Landlord in this Agreement are cumulative of every other right or remedy which the Landlord might otherwise have at law or in equity and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not prejudice the
concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. If the Landlord brings any action for enforcement of any right under this Agreement or if the Landlord places any amount payable by the Tenant hereunder with an attorney for collection, the
party against whom any final judgment is rendered agrees to pay the reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith.
15.5 Surrender. On the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease Term, the Tenant will quit and surrender the Premises to the Landlord in good order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted and except that the Tenant shall not have any obligation to make any such repairs as are imposed on the Landlord
11
under this Agreement. It is specifically understood that the Tenant will as soon as possible after the Expiration Date have the right to remove the Tenant Equipment, provided, however, in the event any of the Tenant Equipment cannot be
removed without damage to the Premises the Tenant will on ten (10) days written request therefor reimburse to the Landlord the Landlord's reasonable costs incurred in repairing such damage and restoring the Premises to the condition which existed prior to
the removal of the Tenant Equipment. In the event any of the Tenant Equipment is not removed by the Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the termination of the Lease Term the Landlord may thereafter remove or store such property, at the expense of
the Tenant, without being liable to the Tenant
therefor.
15.6 Holding Over. If the Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration or other termination of the Lease Term, such holding over will, unless otherwise agreed
by the Landlord in writing, constitute a tenancy at will at a daily rental equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of that amount which is equal to twice the amount of the Rent payable during the last month prior to the termination of the Lease Term and such
holding over will be subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement.
