except the act or negligence of the Sublessor, and Sublessee will indemnify
Sublessor from any claims, demands, and actions arising in connection with
Sublessee's use of the property, or the use by any person occupying said
premises during the term hereof, or by reason of any breach or non-performance
of any covenant herein, or the violation of any law or regulation by Sublessee.
TENTH - FIRE AND CASUALTY: If the premises shall be so damaged by fire, other
casualty, or act of the public enemy so as to be substantially destroyed, then
this Sublease shall terminate and any unearned rent paid in advance by Sublessee
shall be apportioned and refunded to it, but in case the premises are not
substantially destroyed, Sublessor will endeavor to have its Lessor restore the
premises and a just proportion of the rent shall xxxxx according to the extent
to which premises have been rendered untenantable until the premises have been
restored. The Sublessee agrees to give the Sublessor immediate notice of any
damage to the premises.
ELEVENTH - CANCELLATION: In the event Sublessee fails to perform or observe any
of the covenants contained herein on its part to be observed and performed for
ten (10) days after notice by Sublessor, (a) Sublessor may forthwith terminate
or cancel this Sublease by notifying Sublessee as hereinafter provided, and upon
such termination or cancellation, Sublessee shall be liable to Sublessor for all
damages Sublessor sustains by reason of Sublessee's breach of covenant and of
such termination or cancellation; or (b) Sublessor may forthwith re-enter the
premises without notice and upon re-entry may let the premises or any part
thereof as agent for Sublessee and receive the rent therefor, applying the same
first to the payment of such expense as Sublessor may be put to in entering and
letting the premises and then to the payment of the rent and the fulfillment of
Sublessee's covenants hereunder; and Sublessee agrees to pay and shall be liable
for amounts equal to the several installments of rent as they would, under the
terms of this Sublease, become due if no default had occurred, whether the
demised premises be re-let or remain vacant in whole or in part for a period
less than the remainder of the term, or for the whole thereof, but Sublessee
shall be entitled to be credited at the end of each month with any net amounts
actually received by Sublessor during such months for the use or occupancy of
the demised premises or any part thereof; provided, however, that all sums paid
and liabilities incurred by Sublessor for any of the purposes aforesaid (which
Sublessee also agrees to pay and shall be liable for) shall have been first paid
in full to Sublessor, either directly by Sublessee or out of moneys actually
received for renting said demised premises after Sublessor shall have received
undisputed possession thereof, and the maintenance of any action or proceeding
to recover possession of the premises or any installment or installments of rent
or any other moneys that may be due or become due from Sublessee to Sublessor
shall not preclude Sublessor from thereafter instituting and maintaining
subsequent actions or proceedings for the recovery of possession of the premises
or of any subsequent payment or payments of rent or any other moneys that may be
due or become due from Sublessee or Sublessor. A waiver by Sublessor of any
breach or breaches by Sublessee of any one or more of the covenants or
conditions hereof shall not bar forfeiture of any other rights or remedies of
Sublessor for any subsequent breach of any such or other covenants and
conditions.
3
TWELFTH - ADDITIONAL RENT: If Sublessor shall make any expenditure for which
Sublessee is responsible, or if Sublessee shall fail to make any payment which

becoming due. It is understood and agreed that Sublessee shall pay its pro rata
share (7%) of real estate taxes and costs of operation over the base year of
1994 as set forth in Articles 19 and 20 of the underlying Sublease dated March
21, 1994.
THIRTEENTH - CONDEMNATION: In the event the premises or any part thereof are
taken or condemned for a temporary or permanent public of quasi-public use,
Sublessor may, at its option, terminate this Sublease and in such event any
unearned rent paid in advance shall be returned to Sublessee.
FOURTEENTH - DEMOLITION: If any authority having jurisdiction shall decide that
the building or buildings should be demolished and removed, then forthwith upon
such decision being made, the Sublessee shall vacate the premises and this
Sublease shall cease and come to an end and any unearned rent paid in advance by
Sublessee shall be apportioned and refunded to it.

shall be in writing and given by personal delivery to the Sublessee or to one of
the executive officers of the Sublessor or shall be send by registered mail
addressed to the party intended to be notified at the post office address of
such party last known to the party giving such notice and notice given as

appointments and make others consistent herewith, due notice of which shall be
given by the Sublessor to the Sublessee.
SIXTEENTH - TERMINATION: If at any time proceedings in bankruptcy, or pursuant
to any other act for the relief of debtors, shall be instituted by or against
Sublessee, or if Sublessee shall compound Sublessee's debts or assign over
Sublessee's estate or effects for payment thereof, of if any execution shall
issue against Sublessee or any of Sublessee's effects whatsoever, of or if a
receiver or trustee shall be appointed of Sublessee's property, or if this
Sublease shall by operation of law, devolve upon or pass to any person or
