N.A., as Tenant, and Purchaser, as Landlord, shall enter into, execute and deliver a Lease of the
daycare facility upon the terms and conditions and in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein (hereinafter called the “Lease”).
1.3 Subdivision. Seller hereby advises Purchaser that the Land is part of a larger
parcel of land. If it is determined that Seller is required to obtain subdivision approval from
any state, regional, local or other governmental, administrative or quasi-governmental body or
agency before it can convey the Land to Purchaser, then this Agreement shall be contingent upon
Seller’s receipt of said subdivision approval. In such event, Seller shall submit the necessary
application and other documents required for the subdivision approval promptly following such
determination, and Seller shall diligently prosecute said application; all costs and expense shall
be borne by Seller. Said contingency shall be deemed satisfied on the date on which (i) the
subdivision approval has been granted to Seller on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to
Seller and Purchaser and (ii) all applicable appeal periods have expired without the filing of an
appeal; if such subdivision approval imposes obligations or conditions that affect either
Purchaser’s proposed use of the Property or Purchaser’s ability to construct additional buildings
on the Land, said obligations or conditions shall be deemed unsatisfactory. The Date of Closing
shall be postponed to the fifteenth (15th) day after said contingency is deemed
satisfied; provided, however, if such contingency is not deemed satisfied on or before the one
hundred eightieth (180th) day after the effective date of this Agreement, then Purchaser
shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to cancel this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx
Money (as defined in Section 3.1) and the accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration, as
defined in Section 3.2) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all
liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
1.4 Easements. Within forty-five (45) days after the effective date of this
Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, for its review and approval, a draft of each of the
easements described in Section 1.1(d). The parties agree to negotiate such easements in good
faith. If the parties have not agreed upon the terms and conditions of all such easements on or
before the Inspection Completion Date for any reason, then Purchaser shall have the right, at its
sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6.
2. PURCHASE PRICE

(the “Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be SIX MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($6,100,000.00) U.S Dollars and shall be paid by wire transfer by Purchaser to Seller at the
closing (as defined in Section 6.1).
2.2 Price Adjustments.
(a) Prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the Date of Closing, Seller shall seek
3
to obtain tenants for only the following buildings: the facilities office building; and the
warehouse building. As and when Seller identifies a prospective tenant for said buildings, Seller
agrees to promptly notify Purchaser of the prospect’s name and the prospect’s proposed use. Before
consummating any lease with a prospective tenant, Seller shall disclose to Purchaser the identity
of the tenant (to the extent not previously disclosed), the area proposed for leasing, the terms
and conditions of the proposed lease, and such other information as Purchaser may reasonable
request (including, without limitation, financial information). Seller shall not grant and execute
any such lease without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser may withhold its consent, and such
action shall be deemed reasonable, if (i) the proposed tenant does not have sufficient financial
worth (taking into consideration its obligations under the proposed lease), or (ii) the rent under
the proposed lease is below the current fair market rent for comparable space, or (iii) the term of
the proposed lease is for more than five (5) years, or (iv) the proposed tenant is a competitor; or
(v) the proposed tenant intents to use the space for manufacturing, light manufacturing,
distribution facility, or any other use or purpose incompatible with the anticipated uses of the
Property by Purchaser, or any use that is not then permitted by the applicable zoning ordinances;
provided, however, Seller acknowledges that the foregoing list is not intended to be a complete
list and that there are other reasons why Purchaser may withhold its consent that are reasonable.
In the event that any leases are granted by Seller prior to the tenth (10th) day
preceding the Date of Closing, with prior approval of Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be
increased to reflect the increased value of the Property represented by such rental income; in
calculating the increase in said value, the parties shall take into account the expenses related to
such approved leases (including, without limitation, leasing commissions, tenant improvement
expenses, free rent, and relocation expenses) and the party (Seller or Purchaser) financially
responsible for such expenses. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine such price
adjustments by mutual agreement.
(b) From and after the tenth (10th) day preceding the Date of Closing, Seller shall
have no right to seek tenants for any building on the Land.

any and all claims, damages, liabilities and costs incurred by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s
access to the Property for the purpose of conducting any such inspections and investigations,

identified in Section 1.1(b) prior to the Inspection Completion Date. If it is determined that the
aggregate square footage of such buildings is 167,358 square feet or less or 204,549 square feet or
more, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a true and complete photocopy of the measurement, and
the Purchase Price shall be reduced (if the square footage is 167,358 or less) or increased (if the
square footage is 204,549 or more) by an amount equal to the product of $32.80 multiplied by
difference between 185,954 and the actual square footage. If Seller disputes said determination,
then Seller shall cause a reputable, licensed architect or engineer to re-measure said buildings
within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s determination and to deliver Purchaser a
true and complete photocopy of such re-measurement within five (5) days after said ten (10) day
period. In the event Seller fails to timely exercise such re-measurement right or to timely notify
Purchaser of such re-measurement, then, in either case, the square footage determined by
Purchaser’s architect or engineer shall be deemed to be the square footage of the buildings. In
the event Seller timely exercises such re-measurement right
8
and timely notifies Purchaser of such re-measurement, the parties agree to promptly meet to
negotiate in good faith their differences.
(d) Supplementing the foregoing, upon receipt of Purchaser’s written request, Seller agrees to

taxes upon the transfer of ownership or use, Seller agrees to pay all such taxes and to
indemnify and save Purchaser harmless from and against any claims and liabilities arising
out of or attributable thereto.

extends beyond the Date of Closing shall be prorated to the Date of Closing and the portion
attributable to any days subsequent to the Date of Closing shall be paid by Seller to
Purchaser at Closing, together with any unapplied security deposits paid to and held by
Seller from such tenants. If any rents, other amounts or other income to which Seller is
entitled are collected by Purchaser subsequent to Closing, such amounts shall immediately
be paid by Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser shall make a good faith effort and attempt to
collect any such rents, other amounts and other income not apportioned at the Closing for
the benefit of Seller.
This agreement of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.5 shall survive the
Closing.

Closing, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, in a “broom-clean” condition, free all occupants,
licensees, and tenants with the exception of (i) those tenants granted leases prior to closing as
described in Section 2.2(a) and (ii) Bank of America, N.A., which shall be a tenant granted
possession of the daycare facility pursuant to the Lease Agreement attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit “D”, and free of all personal property of Seller that is not included in this sale,
and substantially in the same condition as at the effective date of this Agreement, excepting
reasonable wear and tear. During the forty-eight hour period preceding the Date of Closing,
Purchaser shall have the right to inspect the Property to confirm the foregoing.

be allocated and paid as follows: Purchaser shall pay all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses,
including but not limited to, its attorney’s fees, survey costs, fees for title examination and
preparation of title abstract or certificate of title, the costs, if any, for title insurance in
connection with the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, the cost for all due diligence
inspections and investigations and the cost of preparation of the settlement statement. Seller
shall pay all of its costs and expenses in connection with the sale of the Property to Purchaser,
including but not limited to, the survey expense described in Section 1.1(a) and its attorney’s
fees. Transfer taxes shall be allocated and paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser in
accordance with Maine law. Fees, if any, charged by the Closing Attorney/Title Company shall be
allocated and paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser.
7. RISK OF LOSS
7.1 Casualty. All risk of loss to the Property prior to the Date of Closing shall be
borne by Seller. In the event of any damage to or destruction to the Property or any part thereof
due to fire or any other cause or hazard, Seller shall promptly give notice thereof to Purchaser
describing such damage and setting forth the estimated cost of restoring the Property to the
condition that existed prior to such occurrence (“Restoration”), as determined by a reputable,
independent architect licensed in the State of Maine that is reasonably satisfactory to both
parties. If the estimated cost of Restoration is equal to or
16
less than $100,000.00, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Purchaser shall
close title on the Date of Closing and shall pay the entire Purchase Price, but Purchaser shall be
entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the estimated cost of Restoration. If the
estimated cost of Restoration is more than $100,000.00, then Purchaser may either (a) terminate
this Agreement or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event Purchaser shall be entitled to
a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the estimated cost of Restoration. If Purchaser
exercises its termination right, then the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and accrued interest (less the
Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from
all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
7.2 Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof is taken, or
any action is initiated or threatened to take any of the Property, by eminent domain proceedings or
by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of written notice
of such event from Seller to advise Seller that it intends to (a) terminate this Agreement or (b)
consummate the Closing, in which latter event the award of the condemning authority shall be
assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller does not receive any such notice from Purchaser
within such ten (10) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (b) of this
Section 7.2. If Purchaser exercises its termination right, then the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit
and accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and the
parties shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be
paid to Seller.
8. DEFAULT
8.1 Breach by Seller. If Seller breaches this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Xxxxxxx Money, together
with all accrued interest thereon (less the Independent Consideration) or seek specific performance
of this Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy and relief hereunder. In no event shall Seller
be liable to Purchaser for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages.
8.2 Breach by Purchaser. If Purchaser breaches this Agreement, Seller shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement and retain the Xxxxxxx Money and all interest accrued thereon,
if any, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) as Seller’s sole remedy and relief hereunder.
Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult
to calculate on the date hereof the amount of actual damages for such breach, and these sums
represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach. . In no event shall Purchaser be
liable to Seller for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages.
9. OPERATING COVENANT
From the effective date of this Agreement to the Date of Closing, Seller covenants and agrees
to (i) continue to operate, manage and maintain the Property in a manner consistent with its
current management practices, (ii) perform when due all of Seller’s obligations under any service
contracts, agreements, permits, and the like relating to the
17
Property, (iii) not enter into any extension or modification of any Service Contract that will
extend the term thereof beyond the Date of Closing or enter into any new service contract, supply
contract, maintenance agreement, management agreement, brokerage agreement or other such contract
with respect to the Property, (iv) continue to cause Bank of America to self-insure the
Improvements in the same manner as done on the effective date of this Agreement, and (v) deliver to
Purchaser, within a reasonable period of time after receipt thereof, a true and complete photocopy
of any and all notices, claims, demands, citations, lawsuits, correspondence and other
communications relating to the Property received by Seller from any federal, state, regional, local
or other governmental, administrative or quasi-governmental body or agency, or from any person or
entity, if such document relates to a violation of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order
affecting the Property or of any matters of record, or if such document alters any of the
representations contained in this Section 5.2. On the Date of Closing, the roof of each building
on the Land shall be water tight and otherwise free from all water leaks, and all heating,
ventilation and air conditioning fixtures and equipment located in each building on the Land shall
be in good working order.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY
10.1 Non-Disclosure. From and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, unless with
the prior written consent of the other party or otherwise required by law, neither Purchaser nor
Seller shall prior to the Closing (i) make or permit to be made any announcements or press releases
concerning the existence of this Agreement, the terms of the purchase of the Property or any other
information concerning this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein or (ii) disclose or
permit to be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity any information in respect
of the Property which is obtained pursuant to this Agreement or through any inspection of the
Property or records concerning the Property, except as provided in Section 10.2.
10.2 Limited Disclosure to Advisors. Each party shall have the right to disclose
information in respect of the Property to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, prospective
lenders, directors, officers, and shareholders so long as they agree to be bound by the terms of
this Section 10.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Notice. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits any delivery, consent,
approval, notice, request, or demand from one party to the other (collectively “Notice”), such

all purposes of this Lease.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Building is one of several buildings owned by Landlord and

53 acres (said parcel of land and the buildings located thereon, including the Building, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”). Attached hereto and incorporated herein

(ii) the parking lot and fenced-in playground that Tenant is permitted to exclusively use are

Article 2 – Term; Option
Section 2.01. The term (“Initial Term”) of this Lease shall be for ten (10) years, commencing
on the date of this Lease (“Commencement Date”) and, subject to earlier termination as hereinafter
provided, ending on the last day of the month in which the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Commencement Date occurs (“Expiration Date”); provided, however, if Tenant exercises its first
extension option set forth in Section 2.02, then the “Expiration Date” shall be the last day of the
month in which the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs; and
provided, further, if Tenant exercises its second extension option set forth in Section 2.02, then
the “Expiration Date” shall be the last day of the month in which the twentieth (20th)
anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs.
Section 2.02 Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for two (2)
additional periods of five (5) years each (each an “Additional Term”), provided (i) Tenant shall
not be in default beyond applicable grace and cure periods at the time of giving such notice or as

performance or observance of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of the
Tenant to be performed or observed, (ii) the original Tenant hereunder or any Affiliated Entity (as

the manner and within the time period provided aforesaid, the Term shall be extended upon the
giving of such notice without the requirement of any further action on the part of either Landlord

aforesaid, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to extend the Term and this Lease shall
expire on the then Expiration Date.

and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to (i) perform any construction to the Premises in
connection with the Additional Term, or (ii) provide any tenant improvement allowances or free rent

Base Rent due for the first full month of the Initial Term. If the Commencement Date occurs on a
date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent for such partial month shall
be pro-rated, and shall be paid to Landlord on the first (1st) day of the calendar month
next succeeding the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs. For purposes of this
Lease the first “lease year” shall be defined as the approximately twelve-month period beginning on

Commencement Date occurs. The second “lease year” shall be the twelve-month period commencing on
the
32

period commencing on the anniversary of the commencement of the second lease year.
In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant will pay and discharge when due, as additional rent
(“Additional Rent”), all other amounts that Tenant has agreed to pay directly to Landlord under
this Lease. Landlord shall have all the rights, powers and remedies provided for in this Lease or
at law or in equity or otherwise for failure to pay Additional Rent as are available for nonpayment

One Hundred Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($100,125.00) ($9.00 per RSF),
which shall be paid, without notice, in advance on the first day of each calendar month during said
five (5) year period, in lawful money of the United States, in equal monthly installments of Eight

of any kind relating to the Building, but not including (i) any real estate taxes and assessments
relating to the land on which the Building is located or relating to the land on which the parking
lot and the fenced-in playground appurtenant to the Building are located, and (ii) any income,
intangible, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes or taxes payable by Landlord
except to the extent the same are substituted for or in lieu of the current real estate taxes and
assessments. There shall be excluded from Property Taxes (a) interest or penalties assessed to
Landlord based upon Landlord’s late payment of taxes, and (b) real estate taxes arising from
improvements to the Building which do not benefit Tenant.
In the event of any abatement or refund of Property Taxes for a fiscal year during which
Tenant paid Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall receive such abatement or refund, net of the
reasonable costs incurred to obtain the same; provided, however, if such abatement or refund
relates to the fiscal year in which the Commencement Date and/or the Expiration Date occurs, then
such net abatement or refund shall be prorated based on the number of days of the Term occurring
during said fiscal year. If Landlord fails to pursue an abatement for a fiscal year for which
Tenant is obligated to pay
33
Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation to pursue such
abatement or refund in the name and on behalf of Landlord, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant
as reasonably requested. Tenant shall be entitled to recover from such abatement or refund all of
its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Section 3.04. During the Initial Term and any Additional Term, in addition to Base Rent,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share (as herein defined) of the
Operating Costs (as herein defined).
For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the fraction (converted
to a percentage), the numerator of which is the RSF of the Premises and the denominator of which is
the RSF of all the buildings owned by Landlord on the Property, which, as of the date hereof, is
5.98% (11,125 RSF over 185,954 RSF); provided, however, with respect to those utilities, if any,
servicing the Building or the parking lot and playground appurtenant thereto that are not
separately metered, the term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the fraction (converted to a percentage),
the numerator of which is the RSF of the Premises and the denominator of which is the RSF of the
buildings owned by Landlord on the Property that are serviced by such utilities and measured by
said common meter.
For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Costs” shall mean all costs incurred and
all expenditures made by Landlord (including costs and expenditures for outside contractors, and
contractors who may be affiliated with Landlord to the extent that the contracts are at
commercially reasonable rates consistent with those charged in the market for comparable services
and products) in (i) the operation, management, repair, replacement, lighting, cleaning and
maintenance of the roads on the Property that connect Xxxxx 00, Xxxxx 0 xxx xxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx to
the parking lot for the Building (as shown on the Site Plan) and the sidewalks (if any) running
contiguous to such roads (including, without limitation, the costs of (a) patching, resealing,
repaving, and restriping such roads and sidewalks, (b) shoveling, plowing, and removing snow and
ice from such roads and sidewalks, (c) removing trash from such roads and sidewalks, and (d)
operating, repairing and maintaining any equipment owned by Landlord and used in connection with
the foregoing), and (ii) any utilities servicing the Building or the parking lot or playground
appurtenant thereto that are not separately metered (including, without limitation, electricity,
gas, water and sewer). The Operating Costs shall also include all wage and salary costs (including
the cost of all employee benefits) for all employees who are employed by Landlord on account of the
Property to the extent of the time allocated to the aforesaid roads, sidewalks and utilities.
Section 3.05. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during
the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed statement (“Statement”) setting
forth for such prior calendar year (i) the actual Property Taxes, (ii) the actual Operating Costs,
(iii) Tenant’s Share of the actual Operating Costs, and (iv) the amount paid by Tenant during such
prior calendar year on account of the Property Taxes and Tenant’s Share of the Operating Costs.
Landlord shall keep all its books and records upon which the Statement is based and make all
calculations in connection therewith in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
34
consistently applied. Tenant shall pay the balance due, if any shown on the Statement to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of such Statement. Landlord shall credit the amount
of overpayment, if any, against future installments of Property Taxes and Operating Costs, provided
that if the Lease has expired, Landlord shall pay such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days of
the completion of the audit.
Simultaneously with the submission of the Statement, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
reasonably detailed budget for the then-current calendar year based on the costs set forth on the
Statement and projected increases or decreases in the Property Taxes and the Operating Costs
reasonably anticipated by Landlord. Commencing with the first day of the first month following the
delivery to Tenant of each such budget, and on the first day of each month thereafter until
delivery to Tenant of the next succeeding budget, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
on account the Property Taxes and Tenant’s Share of the Operating Costs for the then current year,
one-twelfth of the total annualized amount of such Property Taxes and Tenant’s Share of such
Operating Costs, as shown on the budget for such calendar year.
Within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for the prior calendar year,
Tenant shall have the right to audit the Statement, and the documentation and calculation upon
which the Statement is based shall be made available to Tenant at the offices where Landlord keeps
such records during normal business hours within ten (10) days after Landlord receives a written
request from Tenant to conduct such audit; provided, however, such audit shall not be conducted by
a party whose compensation or fee is based, in whole or in part, on the amount of overcharges in
the Property Taxes and/or the Operating Costs such party discovers. Landlord shall cooperate with
Tenant as reasonably requested by Tenant in the conduct of the audit. Upon the completion of such
audit, the Statement for the audited period shall be adjusted accordingly. If Tenant shall have
paid more than such adjusted amount, Landlord shall credit such amount against future installments
of Property Taxes and Operating Costs; provided that if the Lease has expired, Landlord shall pay
such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the completion of the audit. If Tenant shall have
paid less than the adjusted amount, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amount within thirty (30)
days of the completion of the audit. In the event such audit discloses that the total of the
Operating Costs billed by Landlord to Tenant for the period being audited exceeds Tenant’s Share of
the total of the audited amount of Operating Costs by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord,
upon the demand of Tenant, shall promptly reimburse Tenant the reasonable expenses actually
incurred by Tenant in connection with such audit.
Section 3.06. All rent due under the terms of this Lease shall be payable to Landlord at 000

accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease.
Section 4.02. Upon the due performance of the covenants and agreements to be performed by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy

Dollars with respect to the Premises, (b) policies of insurance covering damage to the Building in
the amount of the full replacement value thereof (as determined by the insurance company),
providing protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended
coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, and “all risk”, and (c) workers’ compensation insurance

obligation) to separately insure its leasehold improvements and personal property within the

Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on the policy described in clause (a) above
and shall be named as the named insured on the policy described in clause (b) above. At the

insurance company will give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of
cancellation.
Landlord shall have the right to increase the limit of the commercial general liability
insurance from time to time, but no more frequently than once every three (3) years, to an amount
which is generally obtained by owners of comparable buildings in the Belfast, Maine area from new
tenants; provided, however, if, at any time, Landlord’s insurer or lender requires a limit that is
higher than the limit then required under this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to
increase said limit to the limit required by Landlord’s insurer or lender notwithstanding any prior
increase by Landlord, provided such increase is reasonable and consistent with amounts generally
required by owners of comparable buildings in the Belfast, Maine area.
On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord original or duplicate policies or
certificates of the insurers evidencing all the insurance which is required to be maintained
hereunder by Tenant, and, within ten (10) business days prior to the expiration of any such
insurance, other original or duplicate policies or certificates evidencing the renewal of such
insurance.
Section 7.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall
have the right to self-insure for any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Tenant
pursuant to this Lease. In connection with any financing or refinancing by Landlord of all or any
portion of the Property, Tenant agrees to promptly deliver to Landlord and/or to Landlord’s
mortgagee any information reasonably requested by Landlord’s mortgagee about Tenant’s
self-insurance program.
37
With respect to its right to self-insure, Tenant may exercise such right so long as Tenant
maintains a net worth of not less than seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000.00) and Tenant
maintains a self-insurance retention program that provides for insurance in an amount of not less
than that required above. If Tenant exercises such right, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
written notice of its election to self-insure prior to the implementation thereof, which notice
shall set forth the date on which such self-insurance shall commence. Financial statements of
Tenant may be reviewed quarterly at the FDIC website (xxx0.xxxx.xxx/Xxxx_XXX_Xxxx/xxxxx.xxx.). In
the event Tenant elects to self-insure all or part of any risk that would be insured under the
policies and limits described above, and an event occurs where insurance proceeds would have been
available but for the election to self-insure, then Tenant shall make funds available to the same
extent that they would have been available had such insurance policy been carried and Landlord
shall have no obligation to first seek recovery under any insurance policy maintained by Landlord
in connection with such event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time during the Term, Tenant’s net worth shall be less than seventy-five million dollars
($75,000,000.00), then Tenant shall immediately (i) notify Landlord of the occurrence of such
event, and (ii) deliver to Landlord certificates for all policies of insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01. Tenant acknowledges that
the self-insurance rights granted under this Section are personal to Bank of America, N.A. and its
successor by merger and shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee of Tenant or any Affiliated
Entity; provided, however, it will inure to the benefit of an Affiliated Entity if such Affiliated
Entity demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that it is insured under the
self-insurance retention program maintained by Bank of America, N.A.
Section 7.03. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant
severally waive any claim in its favor against the other or the other employees or agents
(REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OF THE OTHER OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, AND STRICT
LIABILITY OF ANY KIND) for loss of or damage to any of its property located on or constituting a
part of the Premises or the Property, by reason of fire or the elements, or any other cause that is
insured, or is insurable (whether or not actually insured) by the terms of standard fire and
extended coverage insurance in the state where the Building is located, regardless of the amount of
the proceeds, if any, payable under such insurance.
Article 8 – Indemnification
Section 8.01. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
its agents, invitees, employees or contractors, and except as otherwise provided in Section 7.03,
Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or
liability for any injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever: (a) occurring in the
Premises; and (b) occurring in, on, or about the Property, to the extent such injury or damage
shall be caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault, or omission of any duty with

injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever: (a) occurring in, or about the Property

shall obtain and pay for any and all building and other necessary governmental or utility permits
required for such Major Alterations. Landlord, at Tenant’s request, shall cooperate with Tenant in
obtaining all such permits.
Section 11.03. All Alterations shall, upon installation, become the property of Landlord and
shall be deemed part of, and shall be surrendered with, the Premises, unless Landlord, by notice
given to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date or prior to such earlier
termination of this Lease (whichever is applicable), elects to relinquish Landlord’s right thereto,
or unless Landlord agrees, in writing, simultaneously with its approval of such Alterations, that
such Alterations may be removed by Tenant upon the Expiration Date or upon such earlier termination
of this Lease (whichever is applicable). If Landlord elects to relinquish Landlord’s right to any
such Alteration, Tenant shall remove said Alteration upon the Expiration Date or upon such earlier
termination of this Lease (whichever is applicable), shall promptly repair any damage to the
Building and/or the Premises caused by said removal, and shall restore the Building and/or the
Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of said Alteration; all such work
shall be done prior to the Expiration Date or prior to such earlier termination of this Lease
(whichever is applicable).
Article 12 – Trade Fixtures
All equipment, business and office machines, furniture, trade fixtures and other items of
personal property (collectively “Personal Property”) owned or installed by Tenant in the Premises
at its expense shall remain the property of Tenant (and any taxes thereon and risk of loss shall be
borne by Tenant), and shall be removed by Tenant at any time provided that Tenant shall at its
expense, repair any damage, holes or openings caused or occasioned by such removal. If Tenant
fails to remove its Personal Property from the Premises on or before the expiration of the Term,
then, after reasonable notice to Tenant, the Personal Property shall be deemed to have been
abandoned and to belong to the Landlord, and Landlord may either retain the same as Landlord’s
property or remove and dispose of same, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, all at
Tenant’s cost and without accountability to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no computer
servers, desktop stations, laptops, files or other personal property which could reasonably be
expected to contain customer information (collectively, the “Protected Items”) shall become the
property of or shall be disposed of by Landlord, but Landlord may arrange for storage of same at
Tenant’s cost for a period of not less than ninety (90) days, only after first providing an
additional written notice to Tenant and five (5) additional business days, and access during
Landlord’s normal business hours, for Tenant to retrieve said items; it being acknowledged by both
Landlord and Tenant that such items may contain sensitive, confidential and/or proprietary
information which is subject to federal regulations as to ownership, possession, storage, disposal,
removal or other handling. During any such period, not to exceed five (5) business days, that any
Protected Items shall remain in the Premises, Tenant shall, in addition to ownership of such items,
retain the right of possession and control of the Premises and Tenant shall pay therefore, rent at
the applicable holdover rate(s) established by the Lease for such additional time period.
41
Article 13 – Damage and Destruction
Section 13.01. Subject to the provisions of this Article 13, if the Premises, access thereto
or any portion of the Building shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord
shall repair the same, and any insurance proceeds received by Landlord shall be applied to the cost
of such repair. Within thirty (30) days of such fire or casualty, Landlord shall give to Tenant
written notice of Landlord’s estimate of the time it will take to make such repairs. If during any
such period following a fire or other casualty, Tenant shall be unable to use all or any portion of
the Premises, a proportionate reduction shall be made to Tenant from the Rent and other charges due
hereunder corresponding to the time during which and to the portion of the Premises of which Tenant
shall be so deprived of the use on account thereof.
Section 13.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Premises are damaged by fire or
other casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to
Landlord if any of the following shall occur:
(a) Landlord has given written notice to Tenant that it will take more than 180 days to repair
the Premises; or
(b) The Premises, access thereto or the Building are not restored to a condition comparable to
that prior to such fire or casualty within the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration of the
estimated period that Landlord estimated in its written notice to Tenant, or (2) 180 days of such
fire or casualty; or
(c) The Premises or the Building is totally destroyed by fire or casualty, or is destroyed by
fire or casualty in substantial part and such destruction cannot reasonably be repaired within 180
days of such fire or casualty; or
(d) If the destruction occurs with less than two (2) years remaining of the Term then in
effect.
Section 13.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Building and/or the Premises
are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving written notice to Tenant if any of the following shall occur:
(a) The Building is totally destroyed by fire or casualty, or is destroyed by fire or other
casualty in substantial part and such destruction cannot reasonably be repaired within 270 days of
such fire or casualty; or
(b) The amount of insurance proceeds is not adequate to pay the costs of the restoration; or
(c) The holder of any mortgage on the Property elects to retain the insurance proceeds; or
(d) If the destruction occurs with less than two (2) years remaining of the Term then in
effect.
42
Article 14 – Condemnation
If the Premises, the Building, any portion of either or the access thereto, are taken or
condemned under the power of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu of such taking or condemnation,
and as a result thereof the use and enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant are materially impaired,
Tenant may, at its sole option, but without prejudice to any rights and claims which it may
otherwise have on account of such taking, condemnation or sale, terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Landlord. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Rent reserved for the
remainder of the Term shall be reduced in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken,
condemned or sold, having due regard to the nature and extent of the injury caused thereby to the
Premises and to Tenant’s Permitted Use thereof, and such reduction in Rent shall be without
prejudice to any rights and claims which Tenant may otherwise have on account of such taking or
condemnation or sale. Landlord reserves to itself, and Tenant assigns to Landlord, all rights to
damages accruing on account of any taking under the power of eminent domain or by reason or any act
or any public or quasi-public authority for which damages are payable, provided that the award
received by Landlord will first be applied to the cost of restoration and repair, if any. Tenant
agrees to execute such instruments of assignment as may be reasonably required by Landlord in any
proceeding, except it is agreed and understood, however, that Landlord does not reserve to itself,
and Tenant does not assign to Landlord, any damages specifically payable for Tenant’s trade
fixtures, furniture, moving expenses, and Tenant’s leasehold improvements.
Article 15 – Environmental Provisions
Section 15.01. Tenant shall (a) comply with the requirements of all federal, state, and local
environmental laws relating to its use of the Premises, (b) immediately notify the Landlord in the
event of any reportable spill, pollution or contamination affecting the Premises from oil, friable
asbestos, hazardous substance, hazardous waste, hazardous material, or other substance, waste or
material regulated or limited by applicable federal, state, or local environmental law or
regulation (“Hazardous Material”), (c) immediately notify the Landlord in the event of any
reportable spill, pollution or contamination affecting the Property from any Hazardous Material
caused by Tenant or by Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors, and (d) immediately forward to
the Landlord any notices relating to such matters received from any governmental agency.
Section 15.02. Tenant will indemnify, defend, and hold the Landlord harmless from and against
any claim, cost, damage (including without limitation consequential damages), expense (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss, liability, or judgment now or
hereafter arising as a result of any claim associated with any required clean-up or other actions
arising from the existence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Material on, in or under the
Premises or the Property caused by Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors during the Term.
The provisions of this Section 15.02 shall continue in effect and shall survive for a period of one
year following any termination or expiration of this Lease.
43
Section 15.03. Landlord will indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any
claim, cost, damage (including without limitation consequential damages), expense (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss, liability, or judgment now or
hereafter arising as a result of any claim associated with any required clean-up or other actions
arising from the existence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Material on, in or under the
Premises caused by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors during the Term. The
provisions of this Section 15.03 shall continue in effect and shall survive for a period of one
year following any termination or expiration of this Lease.
Section 15.04. Tenant hereby agrees to release Landlord from any and all actions, debts,
claims, counterclaims, liabilities, damages, causes of action, costs and expenses of every kind and
nature whatsoever, past, present or future, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which
Tenant has or may have against Landlord arising out of or in connection with of any loss, damage or
claim associated with the existence, release or discharge of a Hazardous Material on, in or under
the Property occurring prior to Landlord’s ownership of the Property. Supplementing the foregoing,
Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to commence any suit or other proceeding against Landlord in
connection with the existence, release or discharge of a Hazardous Material on, in or under the
Property occurring prior to Landlord’s ownership of the Property.
Article 16 – Signs and Advertising; Building Name
Section 16.01. During the Term, Tenant shall have the exclusive right, at its sole
cost and expense, to place the maximum number and size of interior and/or exterior signage on
the Building permitted by the applicable Legal Requirements without Landlord’s consent;
provided, however, all work relating to the installation of said exterior signage shall be
subject to Landlord’s prior consent, as required under Article 11, and said exterior signage
is consistent (in terms of size, style and color) to the signage on the Building as of the
Commencement Date. All Tenant’s signs shall comply with all requirements of appropriate
governmental authorities and all necessary permits or licenses shall be obtained by Tenant
prior to such installation. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in obtaining all such
required permits and licenses. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable
expenses associated with obtaining all necessary permits or licenses for Tenant’s signs. At
its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall maintain such signage in good condition and repair,
and Tenant shall remove the same upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and
shall repair any damage, holes or openings caused or occasioned by such removal.
Article 17 – Entry by Landlord
Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter into and upon the Premises at all
reasonable times for the purpose of examining the same, for making any necessary repairs or
alterations thereto, for the purpose of supplying any service, or building maintenance to be
provided by Landlord hereunder, and during the last lease year of the Term for the purpose of
exhibiting the Premises to prospective tenants; provided, however, that Landlord
shall advise Tenant a reasonable time in advance thereof and
44
have due regard for Tenant’s reasonable security concerns, and, provided further, that the
operations of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably thereby.
Article 18 – Assignment and Subletting
Tenant will not assign, sublet, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise transfer this Lease or the
whole or any part of the Premises without in each instance having first received the prior written
consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld,
provided that Tenant shall remain liable for Rent and all other sums due hereunder. Landlord
acknowledges that the credit of any proposed subtenant shall not be grounds for Landlord’s denial
of consent to sublease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have
the right to sublease all or a portion of the Premises, to permit occupancy of all or a portion of
the Premises, and to assign its interest in this Lease to any Affiliated Entity, as hereinafter
defined, without obtaining Landlord’s consent; provided, however, prior to the effective date of
such sublease, occupancy or assignment, Tenant shall deliver to written notice thereof and, in the
case of an assignment, a written assumption of Tenant’s obligations. “Affiliated Entity” for
purposes of this provision is defined as (a) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with, Tenant, (b) any entity that succeeds to Tenant’s business by merger,
consolidation, reorganization or other form of corporate reorganization, (c) any purchaser who
acquires all or substantially all of the Tenant’s assets and /or stock, (d) any purchaser of
multiple assets from Tenant, and (e) any entity which purchases as an operating unit a business
located at the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment
of this Lease nor any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises shall release or discharge
Tenant from any liability, whether past, present, or future, under this Lease, and Tenant shall
continue to remain primarily liable under this Lease.
Article 19 – Subordination; Estoppel
Section 19.01. This Lease will be subject and subordinate to any mortgage of the Premises now
existing or hereafter executed by Landlord or its successors and assigns. Such subordination is
automatic and is effective without any further act of Tenant; provided however
that no subordination of this Lease shall be effective with respect to any mortgage not on record
as of the date of this Lease unless Tenant receives from any such mortgagee either (i) a
non-disturbance agreement in the form attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B or (ii)
such mortgagee’s standard form of subordination, non-disturbance agreement (with commercially
reasonable modifications negotiated by the parties), fully executed by such mortgagee.
In the event that Landlord has granted a mortgage covering the Premises as of the date of this
Lease, then, simultaneously with its execution of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant from
such mortgagee either (i) a non-disturbance agreement in the form attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit B or (ii) such mortgagee’s standard form of subordination, non-disturbance
agreement (with commercially reasonable modifications negotiated by the parties), fully executed by
such mortgagee.
45
Section 19.02. Landlord and Tenant each agree that within fifteen (15) days after written
request from the other, it shall furnish a written certificate stating whether this Lease is in
full force and effect, if any amendments have been executed, if Tenant is then claiming any
offsets, counterclaims or defenses to this Lease, and, to the best knowledge of the party executing
such certificate, if any defaults exist by the party requesting such certificate (and, if yes, the
nature of any alleged default), and any other matter which may be reasonably requested.
Supplementing the foregoing, any request for such certificate by either party shall be accompanied
by a written certificate executed by the requesting party stating whether there are any then known
defaults under this Lease by the other party then existing, and if so, describing said defaults.
Article 20 – Default
Section 20.01. If any of the following Events of Default shall occur, Tenant shall be deemed
in default of this Lease: (a) if Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent or other sum when and as the
same becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after
Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof; (b) if Tenant shall fail to perform any of Tenants
other obligations under this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice thereof; provided, however, that if such cannot
reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such additional time
(not to exceed 90 days) as is reasonably necessary to perform such obligation; or (c) if Tenant
shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts as they become due, file a petition in bankruptcy, have an order of relief entered
against it, or file or have filed against Tenant a petition seeking any reorganization,
receivership, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief
under any present or future statute, law or regulation; provided that any such petition or order
which is dismissed or lifted within 180 days of filing shall not be deemed an Event of Default.
Section 20.02. This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation
that whenever an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, Landlord shall have the
right, at its election, then or thereafter while any such Event of Default shall continue, to
exercise any remedies available to Landlord at law and equity, including without limitation, the
remedy of forcible entry and detainer, and Landlord lawfully may, immediately or at any time
thereafter, (i) without demand or notice, mail a notice of termination to Tenant, or (ii) upon ten
(10) days prior written notice, enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of
the whole and repossess the same as of its former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming
through or under it and remove it or their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of
trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise by used for arrears of rent
or preceding breach of covenant, and upon such mailing or entry as aforesaid, this Lease shall
terminate; and Tenant covenants and agrees, notwithstanding any entry or re-entry by Landlord,
whether by summary proceedings, termination, or otherwise, that Tenant shall, as of the date of
such termination, immediately be liable for and pay to Landlord all Rent then due and payable and
all Rent due for the remainder of the Term (discounted to present value). In addition, Tenant
agrees to pay to Landlord, as damages for any above described breach, all reasonable costs of
reletting the Premises including real estate commissions and cost of renovating the Premises to
suit any new tenant.
46
In the event that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may, at its sole
discretion, and for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the
Premises, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
all Rent and other payments as they become due hereunder. Additionally, Landllord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all reasonable costs of maintenance and preservation of the
Premises, and all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ and receiver’s fees, incurred in
connection with the appointment of or performance by a receiver to protect the Premises and
Landlord’s interest under this Lease.
Section 20.03. Upon the termination of this Lease pursuant to Sections 20.01 and 20.02, Tenant
shall nevertheless remain liable for all Rent then due and payable hereunder as of the date of the
termination of this Lease, and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in
pursuit of, or in the collection of its remedies hereunder or under any law, (all such rent, costs,
fees and expenses being referred to herein as the “Termination Damages”). Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to mitigate the Termination Damages.
Section 20.04. Other than its duty to mitigate damages, nothing contained in this Lease shall,
however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings under any
federal or state laws relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or reorganization or arrangement by
reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or
rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to
be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than the amount of the loss or damages referred to
above.
Section 20.05. In the event of Landlord’s failure to pay any sum or sums which Landlord is
obligated to pay and the non-payment of which may result in a charge or encumbrance upon or
interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, or in the event of Landlord’s
failure to perform any agreement or obligation on its part to be performed hereunder, in addition
to any other remedies in this Lease or at law, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,
(a) if no emergency exits, to make such payment or perform such obligation after giving thirty (30)
days written notice to Landlord and Landlord has not cured the same within such thirty (30) day
period; and (b) in any emergency situation to make such payment or perform such obligation
immediately upon written or oral notice if prior notice is practicable – otherwise, Tenant shall
give Landlord written notice thereof as soon thereafter as practicable. Landlord shall on demand
reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such payment or
performing such obligation as aforesaid, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, failing which,
Tenant shall have the right to deduct such sums from the next installments of Base Rent due
hereunder (provided, however, such deduction shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Base
Rent). Nothing herein contained shall preclude Tenant from proceeding to collect the amount so paid
by it without waiting for rental offsets to accrue. No deduction of rent hereunder shall
constitute a default unless Tenant fails to pay such amount to the Landlord within thirty (30) days
after final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction that such amount is owing to
Landlord. In the event the Lease is rejected in connection with any bankruptcy
47
proceeding, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon written notice to
Landlord.
Section 20.06. The waiver by either party of any default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any subsequent default under the same, or under any other term, covenant or condition of this
Lease. The subsequent acceptance of any Rent by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding default by Tenant under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the
failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of
such preceding default at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
Section 20.07 Landlord hereby waives any lien for any rent it has against the Tenant or
Tenant’s property in the Premises, except for any judgment lien that may hereafter arise in favor
of Landlord.
Article 21 – Return of Premises; Holdover
Section 21.01. At the expiration or other termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove from
the Premises its Personal Property and those Alterations to which Landlord has elected to
relinquish its rights to, and will peaceably yield up to Landlord the 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 fire or other casualty, by any exercise of the right of eminent
domain or by any public or other authority.
Section 21.02. If Tenant holds over possession of the Premises beyond the expiration of the
Term, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Term or renew this Lease but such holding
over shall continue upon the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except that Tenant
agrees that the charge for use and occupancy of the Premises for each calendar month or portion
thereof that Tenant holds over (even if such part shall be one day) shall be a liquidated sum equal
to the following: (i) during the period from the first (1st) day of such holding over
to the thirtieth (30th) day of such holding over, inclusive, one-twelfth
(1/12th) of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent
required to be paid by Tenant during the final lease year of the Term; (ii) during the period from
the thirty-first (31st) day of such holding over to the sixtieth (60th) day
of such holding over, inclusive, one-twelfth (1/12th) of one hundred seventy-five
percent (175%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant during the final
lease year of the Term; and (iii) from and after the sixty-first (61st) day of such
holding over, one-twelfth (1/12th) of two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent and
Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant during the final lease year of the Term. Since the
damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the
Premises will be impossible to accurately measure and will likely exceed the amount of the monthly
Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, the parties recognize and agree that the aforesaid
liquidated sum is fair and just compensation for the period of such holdover, and it is not a
penalty. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to the
occupancy or possession by Tenant of the Premises beyond the expiration of the Term, and Landlord,
upon said expiration, shall be entitled to the benefit of all legal remedies that now may be
48
in force or may be hereafter enacted relating to the immediate repossession of the Premises. The
provisions of this Section 21.02 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
Article 22 – Notices
All notices which are required to be given by either party hereunder shall be in writing, sent

recognized overnight courier for delivery on the next business day, and addressed to the parties at

in any manner other than by written agreement, executed by all of the parties hereto or their
successors in interest. No prior understanding or representation of any kind made before the
execution of this Lease shall be binding upon either party unless incorporated herein.
Article 27 – Non-Recourse
Anything in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, no recourse or relief shall be had
under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by any enforcement of any assessments or
penalties, or otherwise or based on or in respect of this Lease (whether by breach of any
obligation, monetary or non-monetary), against Landlord, it being expressly understood that all
obligations of Landlord under or relating to this Lease are solely obligations payable out of the

consideration for, the execution of this Lease by Landlord.
