to the rentals hereinbefore provided, Tenant shall pay to the public officers
charged with the collection thereof, before delinquent, all property taxes,
installments of special assessments, and
-3-
other similar charges to the term of this Lease. If an assessment levied on

taxes, assessments, and other charges payable by Tenant, in which event Landlord
shall be obligated to use the funds he collects from Tenant to pay such taxes,
assessments and charges as they become due. If the amount of escrow tax payments
with respect to such year, Landlord shall refund the excess to Tenant within
fifteen (15) days after the final payment to the taxing authority for such year
is due, or Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within fifteen (15) days
after the final payment to the taxing authority for such year due. The
commencement of tax escrow payments pursuant to this Section 2 will not cure the
default of Tenant for failing to otherwise pay such taxes, which only may be
cured by Tenant's payment of such taxes.
Section 3. Tenant may, in good faith, and upon reasonable grounds,
dispute the validity or amount of any tax, assessment or other charge, defend

and remain the property of Landlord and shall not be removed from the Property
by Tenant upon the termination of this Lease or otherwise. All tenant
furnishings, equipment and trade fixtures other than those covered in the

ACCESS TO PREMISES
Section 1. Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Property at
all reasonable hours upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant for the purpose of
inspecting same. If Landlord, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion,
deems any repairs necessary which are the obligation of Tenant hereunder,
Landlord may demand that Tenant make the same forthwith, and if Tenant refuses
or neglects to commence such repairs and complete the same with reasonable
dispatch, Landlord may make or cause such repairs to be made only after seven
(7) days' notice has been given to Tenant and said condition shall have
continued, then Landlord may make or cause such repairs to be made, and shall

Tenant's business at the Property. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to
be made, Tenant agrees that it will pay to Landlord the reasonable cost thereof
within ten (10) days of demand. If Tenant fails to timely reimburse Landlord, he
may charge Tenant interest on the unpaid amount computed at a rate of ten
percent (10~) per annum from the date of demand until payment, and Landlord
shall have the remedies provided in Paragraph 8 hereof.
Section 2. For a period commencing six (6) months prior to the

ARTICLE X
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 1. If the whole of the Property shall be taken by any public
authority under the power of eminent domain, then the terms of this Lease shall
cease as of the date possession shall be taken by such public authority and the
rent shall be paid to that date with a proportionate refund by Landlord of such
rent as may have been paid in advance.
Section 2. If thirty percent (30%) or more of the Property on which the
building is located shall be taken under eminent domain or such lesser portion
of the Property is so taken and Tenant determines that such taking will have a
material adverse effect on its ability to operate its business at the Property,
Tenant shall have the right either to terminate this Lease and declare the same
null and void, or to continue in possession of the remainder of the Property;
and in either event, Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant's intention in
writing within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of such taking under the
power of eminent domain. In the event Tenant elects to remain in possession or
the Lease not otherwise terminated as a result of such taking, all of the terms
herein provided for shall continue in effect except that the fixed rent
hereinabove provided shall be reduced either (i) in proportion to the reduction
in the net useable floor area of the building by reason of such taking or
condemnation in the event of a reduction in the building floor area due to such
taking, or (ii) each year by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the
condemnation award granted to Landlord, in the case of a taking which does not
reduce the floor area of the building, and Landlord shall, at Landlord's own
cost and expense, promptly make all necessary repairs or alterations to the
building on the Property so as to constitute the remaining premises a complete
architectural unit consistent with the condition which existed immediately prior
to such taking, said costs to be deducted from the gross condemnation award.
Section 3. All damages awarded for such taking under the power of
eminent domain whether on the whole or a part of the Premises shall belong to

compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee of the
Property; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any award made to
Tenant for loss of business, depreciation to, and cost of removal of stock and
fixtures, and moving expenses.

ARTICLE XI
DAMAGES
Section 1. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed in whole or
in part by fire or any other cause or casualty, Landlord agrees to repair and
restore the same with reasonable dispatch to a good tenantable condition,
similar to the condition of the Property prior to such damage or destruction,
unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4 below, and the rent
shall xxxxx entirely in case the entire Property is untenantable and pro-rata
for the portion rendered untenantable in case a part only is untenantable, until
the same shall be restored to a tenantable condition.
Section 2. At all times during the term of this Lease, including the
period of construction or reconstruction of any building if Tenant's rent
obligation has not abated, Tenant will, at Tenant's own cost and expense, have
the building or buildings and the contents thereof at any time upon the
Property, insured against loss or damage by fire or other casualty with
responsible insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, said
insurance to be in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of actual cash
value of said building or buildings, contents and improvements. All such
insurance policies and all renewals thereof shall be payable to Landlord and
Tenant, as their interests may appear, entitling Landlord to collect all monies
due under said policies payable in the event of any reason of the loss or damage
of the building or buildings situated in the Property and permitting Tenant to
receive all monies payable with respect to the Tenant's Personalty at the
Property. In the event Tenant fails to obtain and continue such insurance in
force at any time, Landlord, at its option and without any obligation on
Landlord's part to do so, may obtain such insurance and Tenant shall forthwith
pay the cost thereof to Landlord, or Landlord may at its option add said cost to
the next rent payment due Landlord from Tenant. Anything to the contrary herein
contained notwithstanding any loss shall first be payable to any first mortgagee
of the Premises to the extent of its interest.
Section 3. So long as Tenant remains open for, and continues to
operate its business at the Property in the same manner as prior to such
casualty, the Property shall not be
-8-
deemed wholly untenantable. However, the Property will be treated as wholly
untenantable regardless of the extent of the damage thereto, if Tenant
determines, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it is
unable to operate the Property in the ordinary course of business or access to
the Property is materially hindered.
Section 4. In the event the building or contents of the Property are
damaged or destroyed during the term hereof, and as a result thereof the Tenant
cannot operate its business at the Property until completion of the repair and
restoration, the Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if (i)
in the reasonable certified opinion of Landlord's architect, the building and
contents cannot be completely repaired and restored such that Tenant will be
able to open for business within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of such damage or destruction or (ii) Landlord does not complete such
repair or restoration one hundred twenty (120) days after such damage or
destruction. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its election to
terminate within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the architect's certified or
Landlord's failure to timely complete the repair and restoration, and upon
termination, rent shall be prorated as of the date of such damage or
destruction. During the period of any reconstruction or repair, all rent shall
be abated.

execution or by other process of law, or if Tenant shall be adjudicated
insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to the provisions of any state or federal
insolvency or bankruptcy act, or if any assignment shall be made of Tenant's
Property for the benefit of creditors, then and in any such events, Landlord at
its option may terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder, by
giving to Tenant notice in writing of the election of Landlord so to terminate;
provided, however, Tenant shall have sixty (60) days to dismiss any involuntary
proceeding before Landlord may exercise its right of termination so long as
Tenant is not otherwise in default under the terms hereof.

to recognize, not disturb and be bound by the terms and provisions of this
Lease. In the event of any mortgagee electing to have the Lease as a prior lien

Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior to lien to the said
mortgage, whether or not this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date
of said mortgage or trust deed.

and payable, or if Tenant shall violate or default under any of the
other covenants, agreements, stipulations or conditions of this Agreement and
such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written

shall
-11-
be optional for Landlord to declare this Lease forfeited, the term ended and
to re-enter the Property and take possession of same. In addition thereto,
Landlord shall have such other, further or different rights and remedies as may
be available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right of

Section 4. Security Deposit. The Landlord hereby acknowledges the
receipt of Two Thousand Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars, which it is to retain

and agreements of this Lease, but in no event shall the Landlord be obliged to
apply the same upon rents or other charges in arrears or upon damages for the
Tenant's failure to perform the said covenants, conditions, and agreements; the
Landlord may so apply the security at its option; and the Landlord's right to
the possession of the premises for non-payment of rent or for any other reason
shall not in any event be affected by reason of the fact that the Landlord holds
this security. The said sum if not applied towards the payment of rent in
arrears or towards the payment of damages suffered by the Landlord by reason of
the Tenant's breach of the covenants, conditions, and agreements of this Lease
is to be returned to the Tenant when this Lease is terminated, according to
these terms, and in no event is the said security to be returned until the
Tenant has vacated the premises and delivered possession to the Landlord.
In the event that the Landlord repossesses itself of the said
premises because of the Tenant's default or because of the Tenant's failure to
carry out the covenants, conditions, and agreements of this Lease, the Landlord
may apply the said security upon all damages suffered to the date of said
repossession and may retain the said security to apply upon such damages as may
be suffered or shall accrue thereafter by reason of the Tenant's default or
breach. The Landlord shall not be obliged to keep the said security as a
separate fund, but may mix the said security with its own funds.
Upon Tenant satisfying all conditions in this Lease, Landlord
shall deliver the security deposit to Tenant.
