approved by Landlord, which consent or approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed;
(b) Throughout the term of this Lease, Landlord agrees to make structural
repairs to the premises which shall be deemed to mean repairs to the structural
frame, exterior of the premises, to the roof and to utilities and facilities
servicing the premises to the extent that they are located outside of the Leased
Premises, as well as to the common areas of the Landlord's premises, except as
previously noted, all at Landlord's expense unless such repairs are necessitated
by the act of Tenant or any of it's employees or business invites. All other
non-structural repairs shall be done by the Tenant at Tenant's expense. All
repairs and replacements shall be at least equal in quality of workmanship and
materials to that existing in Leased Premises at the commencement of this Lease.
Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against all costs, expenses, liabilities,
losses, damages, suits, fines, penalties, claims and demands, including
reasonable attorney's fees, because of Xxxxxx's failure to comply with the
foregoing covenant. The Landlord shall in no event be required to make any
repair, alteration or improvement to the Leased Premises except as set forth
above. If, upon notice from Tenant, Landlord fails to make any such required
repairs, which affect the habitability of any portion of the demised premises,
Tenant may but shall not be required to make those repairs and deduct the cost
of same from future installments of rent.
(c) The necessity for and adequacy of repairs and replacements to
the Leased Premises shall be measured by the standard which is appropriate
for improvements of similar construction and class, provided that Tenant
shall in any event make all repairs necessary to comply with the building,
health and fire codes of Danbury, Connecticut. Tenant shall not be obligated to
make any repairs or replacements which are structural in nature and are outside
the Leased Premises and generally serve the entire building.
(d) Upon the last day or sooner termination of the term hereof, Xxxxxx
shall surrender to Landlord the Demised Premises in broom clean condition.
All alterations, additions and improvements, whether temporary or permanent
in character, which may be made upon the premises, either by the Landlord or the
Tenant, shall be surrendered with the premises as a part thereof upon the
termination of this Lease without compensation to the Tenant. Tenant may

and occupancy thereof, of the City, State and Federal Governments and Landlord,
and of each and every department, bureau and official thereof, and of the Board
of Fire Underwriters having jurisdiction thereof. An adequate fire protection
system will be installed on the premises and during the term of this lease,

consistent with the manufacturer's recommendation or to pay its prorata share of
a master maintenance agreement if applicable.
9. ASSIGNMENT: The Tenant shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this Lease in
----------
whole or in part, or subject all or any part of the Leased premises to a sub-
lease without the prior written consent of the Landlord which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld and in the event of a sale or merger of Tenant's
business to a entity of financial ability similar in all respects to Tenants as
of the commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall be notified but its consent
shall not be required. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting
shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. This prohibition against assigning or
subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against assigning or
subletting by operation of law. If this Lease be assigned or if the Leased
premises or any part thereof be occupied by anybody other than the Tenant,
Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, or occupant and apply the net
amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment,
underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this
provision or the acceptance of the assignee, under Tenant or occupant as lessee,
or as a release of Tenant from the further performance by it of the provisions
on its part to be observed or performed herein. Notwithstanding any assignment
or sub-lease, Tenant shall remain fully liable and shall not be released from
performing any of the terms of this Lease except where the assignment is a
result of a sale or merger of Tenant's business.
10. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY: If during the term of this Lease any of the
-----------------------
buildings comprising the Demised Property shall be partially or totally
destroyed by fire or other casualty or peril then the following shall be
applicable:
(a) If, in Landlord's reasonable opinion (to be given to Tenant not later
than ten (10) days after notice to Landlord by Tenant of the happening of such
damage or destruction), the building or buildings cannot be repaired or restored
within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such opinion,
then either Landlord or Tenant may, within ten (10) days
next succeeding the giving of such opinion by Xxxxxxxx, terminate this Lease by
giving notice to the other of such termination. In that event, this Lease shall
terminate as to that building or buildings but shall remain in effect as to the
remaining building or buildings (unless the only other remaining building is
Building A in which event Tenant may terminate this Lease) and the rent and all
other payments for which Tenant may be liable under the terms of this Lease
shall be prorated and paid in full to the date of such destruction or damage.
If neither Landlord nor Tenant so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall
repair or restore the building or buildings with reasonable diligence and the
rent shall xxxxx on each damaged building from the date of the happening of such
damage or destruction until that building has been repaired or restored to the
extent reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to again use and occupy the
building, and Landlord shall repair or restore the building with reasonable
diligence. Provided Landlord is proceeding with reasonable diligence to repair
or restore the building, Landlord shall not be responsible for any delays beyond
the reasonable control of Landlord which prevent such repair or restoration from
being completed within such one hundred eighty (180) day period.
(b) If, in Landlord's reasonable opinion (to be given to Tenant not later
than ten (10) days after notice to Landlord by Tenant of the happening of such
damage or destruction), the building or buildings can be repaired or restored
as set forth is subparagraph (b) above within one hundred eighty (180) days from
the date of such opinion, and the damage or destruction is such that a building
is capable of being partially used by Tenant, then, until such damage has been
repaired or restored, the rent shall xxxxx in the proportion which that part of
the building which is rendered unfit for occupancy bears to the whole of the
building, and Landlord shall repair or restore the building with reasonable
diligence. Providing Landlord is proceeding with reasonable diligence to
repair or restore the building, Landlord shall not be responsible for any delays
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord which prevent such repair or
restoration from being completed without such one hundred eighty (180) day
period.
(c) Landlord and Tenant shall fully cooperate with each other regarding the
settlement and adjustment of insurance claims. If Landlord is to repair or
restore any building, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall remove
any machinery, equipment, furniture, inventory, or other items of personal
property from that building as shall be required by Landlord in order to repair
or restore the Improvements constituting a part of the building.
Also, Landlord shall have the free and uninterrupted right to possession of the
building to repair and restore the Improvements constituting a part of the
building, and such right shall extend to Landlord's employees, contractors,
subcontractors, laborers and suppliers.
-7-
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord
shall not be obligated to repair or restore any damage to or destruction of the
Demised Property if the costs of repair or restoration, in Landlord's reasonable
opinion, exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds payable to Landlord by reason
of such damage or destruction. In that event, Tenant shall have the option of
either (1) terminating this Lease as it applies to such damaged or destroyed
building or buildings or (2) requiring Landlord to repair or restore the damaged
property in which event Tenant shall assume responsibility for the payment of
all costs and expenses to repair or restore in excess of the insurance proceeds
due Landlord. In the event Tenant elects the latter option and requires
Landlord to repair or restore it shall give written notice to Landlord of that
election within sixty (60) days of the damage or destruction and
contemporaneously with the giving of notice provide Landlord with adequate
security for the payment (based on written estimates) of all excess costs and
expenses. The excess costs incurred by Tenant shall be divided by the years
remaining in the Lease term and the annual rental due in each of the remaining
years shall be reduced by the resulting figure. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be responsible for repairing
or restoring any alterations, additions or improvements made to the Demised
Property by Xxxxxx. Furthermore, in no event shall Landlord be liable for any
loss of or damage to any of Tenant's property.
(e) In the event that the partial destruction or casualty to the entire
Demised Premises is more than fifty percent (50%), the Landlord in its sole
discretion shall determine whether or not to repair the Demised Premises. In
the event that the Landlord decides not to repair the Demised Premises, then and
in that event, this Lease shall cease and be terminated provided however should
such destruction or casualty occur in the final Lease year, Tenant may terminate
this Lease as it applies to the building or buildings so impacted upon notice to
Landlord.
11. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE: From and after the commencement of this Lease,
-----------------------
Tenant will indemnify and hold landlord harmless absolutely from and against any
and all claims, suits, actions, damages, costs, expenses or judgement, by
reason of any actual or claimed injury to person and/or property or loss of life
sustained in the Demised Premises during the term hereof except for such injury,
property damage or loss of life caused by negligence by Landlord, its employees
or agents. If Landlord is made party to any litigation instituted against
Tenant, to which the foregoing indemnity may relate, Tenant will pay all
expenses, costs, damages, judgement and reasonable fees for counsel incurred
by or imposed on Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof.
Without limiting the foregoing and other indemnification provisions herein
contained, Xxxxxx agrees, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, throughout the term
of this Lease, but for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, to maintain
general public liability insurance against claims for bodily injury or death, or
injury to property, occurring upon or in the Demised Premises, such insurance to
afford protection to the limit of not less than Two Million and 00/100
($2,000,000.00) Dollars in respect of any one accident, and not less than Two
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($200,000.00) Dollars in respect to property damage.
All insurance provided for in this paragraph shall name Landlord as owner
and the Landlord's mortgagee as additional
-8-
insureds as well as Tenant as insured, as their respective interests may appear,
and shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers
licensed to do business in the State of Connecticut. Tenant may carry the
insurance required under this paragraph under a blanket policy. Upon the
commencement of the term of this Lease and thereafter prior to the expiration
dates of the expiring policies thereto-fore furnished pursuant to this
paragraph, original certificates thereof issued by the respective insurers shall
be delivered by Tenant to Landlord. Xxxxxx agrees to pay the cost of any such
insurance and to furnish Landlord, if requested, with evidence satisfactory to
Landlord of such payment. All such policies shall, to the extent obtainable,
contain an agreement by the insurers that such policies shall not be canceled
without at least forty-five (45) days prior written notice to Landlord.
Tenant agrees that if it shall at any time fail to take out, pay for,
maintain or deliver any of the insurance policies as provided for in this
paragraph, or to make any other payment or perform any other act on the part of
Tenant to be made or performed, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to
do so, and on not less than fifteen (15) days notice to or demand upon Tenant
(and unless Tenant shall comply with such 15-day period) and without waiving or
releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained, (i)
take out, pay for, maintain or deliver any of the insurance policies provided
for in this paragraph, or
(ii) make any other payment or perform any other act on Tenant's part
to be made or performed as in this Lease provided. All sums so paid by Xxxxxxxx
and all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the
performance of any such act by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the
rate of twelve (12%) percent per annum from the date of the making of such
expenditure by Landlord, at the option of Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord
on demand or shall be added to any rent then due or thereafter becoming due
under this Lease, and Xxxxxx agrees to pay any such sum or sums with interest as
aforesaid. All sums which may become payable to Landlord by Xxxxxx, as in this
paragraph provided, and all sums payable by Tenant pursuant to any other
provision of this Lease, shall be deemed obligations of Tenant hereunder and
Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy) the same rights
and remedies in the event of nonpayment of any such sums by Tenant as in the
case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent. The notice provided for herein
shall not in any way affect the other notice provisions of this Lease.
Each party agrees to use diligent efforts to include in each of its
policies insuring against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other insured
casualty a waiver of the insurer's right of
-9-
subrogation against the other party or, should such waiver be unobtainable (i)
an express agreement that such policy shall not be invalidated if the insured
waives or has waived before the casualty the right of recover against any party
responsible for a covered casualty or (ii) any other form of permission for the
release of such responsible party. If such waiver, agreement or permission
shall not be, or shall cease to be, obtainable without additional charge or at
all, the insured party shall so notify the other party promptly after notice
thereof. If the other party shall agree in writing to pay the insurer's
additional charge therefor, such waiver, agreement or permission shall (if
obtainable) be included in the policy.
As long as Landlord's fire insurance policies include the waiver of
subrogation or agreement or permission to release liability referred to in the
previous paragraph, and the coverage is in amounts sufficient to cover any
claim being made then, Landlord waives, for itself and those claiming through or
under it, any right of recovery against Tenant, any other permitted occupant or
subtenant of the Premises and any of their employees, agents or contractors with
respect to that claim, occasioned by fire or other insured casualty. If at any
time any of Landlord's policies shall not include such or similar provisions,
the waiver set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be of no further force or
effect.
As long as Tenant's fire insurance policies include the waiver of
subrogation or agreement or permission to release liability previously referred
to, Tenant waives for itself and those claiming through or under it, any right
of recovery against any of their employees, agents or contractors, for any loss
occasioned by fire or other insured casualty. If at any time any of Tenant's
policies shall not include such or similar provisions, the waiver set forth in
the foregoing sentence shall upon (20) days notice given by Tenant to Landlord,
be of no further force or effect from and after the giving of such notice.
12. PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE: Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for
-----------------------
any damage to property of Tenant, its employees or of others entrusted to Tenant
except damage caused by the negligence of Landlord, its employees or agents nor
the loss or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. Furthermore,
the Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any injury or damage to
persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas,
electricity, water, rain or snow, or leaks from any part of the building housing
the Demised Premises or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works or from the
roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or by dampness or by any
other cause of whatsoever nature, unless caused by or due to the negligence of
Landlord, its agents, servants or employees.
-10-
Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any such damages caused by
other Tenants or persons in said building or caused by operations in
construction of any private, public or quasi-public work. Tenant shall give
immediate notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Demised
Premises or in the building, or of defects therein or in any building fixtures
or equipment. If Tenant shall move any safe, machinery, equipment, freight bulky
matter or fixtures which require special handling, Xxxxxx agrees to employ only
persons holding a license to do said work and all work in connection therewith
shall comply with any regulations, law or ordinance affecting such work. Tenant
shall indemnify Landlord for, and hold Landlord harmless and free from damages
sustained by person or property for any damages or monies paid out by Landlord
in settlement of any claims or judgements related to the preceding as well as
for all expenses and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection therewith
and all cost incurred in repairing any damage to the building or appurtenances.
13. ACCESS: Upon notice to Tenant, and without causing an unreasonable
------
intrusion, the Landlord, its servants and agents, including representatives of
the insurance company or companies carrying insurance on the building containing
the Demised Premises, shall have the right to enter upon the said premises at
any time for inspection of the premises or for repairs to building or equipment
or without notice in an emergency or to take preventative measures to protect
and preserve the property of the Landlord.
Upon notice to Tenant, and without causing an unreasonable intrusion,
Landlord shall have the right to enter the premises during business hours for
purposes of showing the premises to any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of
the premises or during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease for purposes of
reletting the premises.
14. CONDEMNATION: In the event of a condemnation of the premises, which shall
------------
include a taking of all or a substantial part of the building on the premises,
this Lease shall, at the option of either party, terminate upon the completion
of such taking. The rent shall be apportioned as of that date. The condemnation
award shall belong solely to the Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to
relocation costs, if any, provided said costs may be separately determined as an
element of the award and not included in the determination of the value of the
interest of the Landlord in the Leased Premises. In the event of a partial
taking of the premises in such manner that the Tenant is able to continue
without substantial modifications, the operation then being conducted on the
Demises Premises, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the
Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon an equitable rent adjustment reflecting
such partial taking. Any
-11-
award for partial taking shall belong solely to the Landlord. Nothing herein
shall be construed to deprive Tenant of its rights upon condemnation as set
forth in the Connecticut General Statutes.
15. SUBORDINATION: This Lease is subject and subordinate to all mortgages

which may now or hereafter affect such Leases or the real property of which the
Demised Premises form a part, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. This clause shall be self-
operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required by any
mortgage. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute promptly
any certificate that Landlord may request. Tenant hereby constitutes and
appoints Landlord as the Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute any such
certificate or certificates for and on behalf of the Landlord. Landlord,
however, covenants and agrees that it will obtain from all future mortgagees
holding a mortgage on the premises written assurance that so long as the Tenant
is not in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease, Xxxxxx's use,
occupation and possession of the premises and all rights of Tenant under this
Lease shall not be affected or disturbed by the bringing of any action to
foreclose or otherwise enforce any such mortgage.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: The Landlord and the Tenant shall, without charge,
---------------------
at any time, and from time to time, as the same shall be reasonably requested,
within ten (10) days after a written request by the other, certify by a written
instrument to the other, or any person, firm or corporation specified by the
other:
(a) That there is no default under this Lease, that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been any
modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications.
(b) Whether or not there are then existing any setoffs or defenses against
the enforcement of any of the agreements, terms, covenants, or conditions
contained herein and any modifications hereof upon the part of the Tenant to be
performed or complied with, and if so, specifying the same.
(c) The date, if any, to which the rent and other charges hereunder have
been paid.
(d) That prior to the date of the issuance of the certificate required
hereby, to the best of the knowledge of the signer thereof, there has been no
violation or breach which would constitute a default under this Lease.
17. DEFAULT:
-------
(a) The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of
default:
-12-
(i) Delinquency in the payment of any rent including supplemental
or additional rent payable under this Lease continuing for a period of ten (10)
days after notice.
(ii) Delinquency by the Tenant in the performance of or compliance
with any of the conditions contained in this Lease other than those referred to
in the foregoing subparagraph (1), for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof from the Landlord to the Tenant, except for any default
not susceptible of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, in which
event the time permitted to the Tenant to cure such default shall be extended
for as long as shall be necessary to cure such default, provided the Tenant
commences promptly and proceeds diligently to cure such default, and provided
further that such period of time shall not be so extended as to jeopardize the
interest of the Landlord in this Lease or so as to subject the Landlord or the
Tenant to any civil or criminal liabilities.
(iii) Filing by the Tenant in any court pursuant to any statute,
either of the United States or any state, of a petition in bankruptcy or
insolvency, or for reorganization, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee of all or a portion of the Tenant's property, or an assignment by the
Tenant for the benefit of creditors.
(iv) Filing against the Tenant in any court pursuant to any statute,
either of the United States or of any state, of a petition in bankruptcy or
insolvency, or for reorganization or for appointment of a receiver or trustee of
all or a portion of the Tenant's property, if within ninety (90) days after the
commencement of any such proceeding against the Tenant such petition shall not
have been dismissed.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Landlord at any time
may give written notice to the Tenant specifying such event of default and
stating that this Lease shall expire on the date specified in such notice, which
shall be at least thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the
date specified in such notice this Lease and all rights of the Tenant hereunder
shall terminate.
(c) Upon the expiration of this Lease pursuant to subparagraph 17 (b)
above, the Tenant shall peacefully surrender the Leased property to the Landlord
and the Landlord, upon or at any time after any such expiration, may without
further notice reenter the Leased property and repossess it by summary
proceedings, ejectment, or otherwise, and may dispossess the Tenant and remove
the Tenant and all other persons and property from the Leased property and may
have, hold and enjoy the Leased property and the right to receive all rental
income therefrom.
(d) At any time after such expiration, the Landlord may relet the Leased
property or any part thereof for such term and on such conditions as the
Landlord, in its uncontrolled discretion, may determination and may collect and
receive the rent therefor. The Landlord shall in no way be responsible or
liable for any failure to relet the Leased property or any part thereof, or for
any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.
(e) No such expiration of this Lease shall relieve the Tenant of its
liability and obligations under this Lease, and such liability and obligations
shall survive any such expiration. In the event of any such expiration, whether
or not the Leased property or any part thereof shall have been relet, the Tenant
shall pay to the Landlord the rent and supplemental and additional rent required
to be paid by the Tenant up to the time of such expiration, and thereafter the
Tenant, until the end of what would have been the term of this Lease in the
absence of such expiration, shall be liable to the Landlord for, and shall pay
to the Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for the
Tenant's default;
(i) the equivalent of the amount of the rent and additional rent which
would be payable under this Lease by the Tenant if this Lease were still in
effect, less
(ii) the net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the
provisions of subparagraph 17(d) above, after deducting all the Landlord's
expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation,
all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable
attorney's fees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such
reletting.
(f) The Tenant shall pay such current damages, called deficiency, to the
Landlord monthly on the days on which the rent, supplemental, and additional
rent would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in
effect, and the Landlord shall be entitled to recover from the Tenant each
monthly deficiency as such deficiency shall arise. At any time after such
expiration, whether or not the Landlord shall have collected any monthly
deficiency, the Landlord shall be entitled to recover from the Tenant, and the
Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed
final damages for the Tenant's default, an amount equal to the difference
between the rent and supplemental and additional rent reserved hereunder for the
unexpired portion of the Lease term and the then fair and reasonable rental
value of the Leased property for the same period. If the Lease property or any
part thereof is relet by the Landlord for the unexpired term of this Lease, or
any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any
court, commission, or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such
-14-
reletting shall be deemed prima facie to be the fair and reasonable rental value
for the part or the whole of the Leased property so relet during the term of the
reletting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of the
Landlord to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such
termination 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, such damages
are to be proved.
(g) The Tenant hereby expressly waives, so far as permitted by law, the
service of any notice of intention to reenter provided for in any statute, or of
the institution of legal proceedings to that end. The Tenant, for and on behalf
of itself and all persons claiming through or under the Tenant, also waives any
right of redemption or reentry or repossession or to restore the operation of
this Lease in case the Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgement or by warrant
of any court or judge or in case of reentry or repossession by the Landlord. In
case of any expiration of this Lease, the Landlord and the Tenant, so far as
permitted by law, waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim
brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matter arising
out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and
Xxxxxx, the Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased property, or any claim or
injury or damage. The terms "enter", "reenter", "entry", or "reentry", as used
in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning.
18. COSTS AFTER DEFAULT: The Tenant shall pay and indemnify the Landlord
-------------------
against all legal costs and charges, including counsel fees lawfully and
reasonably incurred, in obtaining possession of the Demised Premises after a
default of the Tenant or after the Tenant's default in surrendering possession
upon the expiration of earlier termination of the term of the Lease or enforcing
any covenant of the Tenant herein contained. In any action between the parties
under this Lease the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorney's fees.
19. SIGNS: The Tenant may place and maintain a sign on said Demised Premises
-----
in a location designated by Landlord, which sign shall first be approved by said
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be
subject to the approval of the local zoning officer.

-------

prepaid, Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier services, or shall

masculine and feminine genders, and vice versa, as the context may require.

----------
respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives of the parties
hereto.
26. MODIFICATION: This Lease contains the entire agreement between the
------------
parties and shall not be modified in any manner except by an instrument in
writing executed by the parties. If any term or provision of this Lease or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be invalid and
be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
27. WAIVERS OF LIEN: Landlord herein reserves the right to
---------------
-16-
request from the Tenant Waivers of Lien in the event Tenant shall commence to do
interior repairs to said premises. In the event the Landlord requests such
Waivers of Lien, he shall supply the same to the Tenant and the Tenant shall
have the same executed by all suppliers of material and labor to said Demised
Premises prior to the commencement of said work.
28. ADDITIONAL RENT - OTHER IMPOSITIONS: Tenant shall bear and pay as
-----------------------------------
additional rent its proportionate share (unless usage is metered or charged
directly to the Demised Premises in which event Tenants will pay such charges
directly) as hereinafter set forth, of all charges for water supplied to the
Entire Premises, including sewer rents, any expenses of any municipal
assessments that may be levied on the land and buildings to the extent that such
assessments are and become due and payable in full or in installments during the
term and any extension of this Lease. The proportionate share to be paid by the
Tenant shall be computed on the basis of the total rentable floor area of the
Demised Premises as it bears to the total rentable floor area of the Entire
Premises. Upon receipt of each bill for such taxes, assessments, or charges,
Landlord shall notify Tenant of the portion thereof payable by Xxxxxx and
enclose a copy of the bill and computation and Tenant shall within fifteen (15)
days thereafter pay such portion to Landlord. The Landlord and Tenant agree that
Xxxxxx's proportionate share of the buildings shall be sixty-five (65%) percent.
Said figure is based upon Tenant's rentable floor area of 87,680 square feet,
and the total rentable floor area in the Entire Premises of 135,000 square feet.
(a) Additional Rent - Common Area: Tenant agrees that it will pay to the
-----------------------------
Landlord as and when bills are rendered therefore, the allocated share taking
into account any costs and maintenance assumed directly by Tenant for area
reserved to its exclusive use of all operating costs excluding mortgage interest
and amortization payments for maintenance of the Common Facilities as herein
defined, including but not limited to the following costs incurred: parking lot
and common area lighting including the replacement of non-functioning or
malfunctioning bulbs; common area and parking lot cleaning and general
maintenance and landscaping; garbage removal; snow and ice removal; premiums on
liability insurance policies for any common area in parking lot; policing and
maintaining of the parking area, walks and ways and for areas common to all
Tenants of the buildings as may be necessary from time to time including
restriping the paved area. Tenant shall contract, maintain, and pay for its own
garbage removal if required by Landlord. Any extraordinary costs or expense
attributable to Tenant's use shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.
(b) Additional Rent - Real Estate Taxes: Xxxxxx agrees to
-----------------------------------
-17-
pay as additional rent its proportionate share, as hereinafter set forth, of all
real estate taxes assessed against the land and buildings. The proportionate
share of the cost to be paid by the Tenant shall be computed on the basis of the
total rentable floor area of the Demised Premises as it bears to the total
rentable floor area of the Entire Premises. The Landlord and Tenant agree that
Xxxxxx's proportionate share of the buildings shall be sixty-five (65%) percent.
Said figure is based upon Tenant's rentable floor area of 87,680 square feet,
and the total rentable floor area in the Entire Premises of 135,000 square feet.
Real estate taxes for the buildings will be determined from the assessment of
the land and buildings times the established mill rate. In the event real
estate taxes are assessed separately against any of the demised buildings during
the term of the Lease, the Landlord and Tenant agree the Tenant shall pay its
proportionate share as hereinbefore set forth of the taxes attributable to the
land and shall pay all of the taxes attributable to each separately assessed
Demised Building.
(c) Additional Rent Insurance: Tenant agrees it will pay to the Landlord,
-------------------------
its proportionate share of the costs of all hazard, fire, liability and rental
value insurance incurred for the buildings in which the Demised Premises are
located and also for the Entire Premises. Said insurance shall be for the
minimum of the fair replacement value of said buildings and public liability
insurance in an amount not less than two million and shall be in the form of an
extended coverage policy. The proportionate share of the costs to be paid by
Tenant shall be computed on the basis of the total floor area of the Demised
Premises as it bears to the total floor area of the buildings, and the same
shall be deemed additional rent under this Lease. The Landlord and Tenant agree
that Xxxxxx's proportionate share of the buildings shall be sixty-five (65%)
percent. Said figure is based upon Xxxxxx's rentable floor area of 87,680
square feet which amount may be changed after verification and certification by
Landlord, and the total rentable floor area in Entire Premises of 135,000 square
feet. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the rating of said buildings is
increased because of the use of said buildings by a particular tenant, then in
such event that increase in the insurance premium shall be attributable to the
Tenant.
(d) Payment of Additional Rent: Notwithstanding any other paragraph to the
--------------------------
contrary, Tenant shall pay its additional rent as determined by this paragraph
30 on a monthly basis, on the first day of each month, in addition to the
minimum guaranteed rental. This monthly payment to be determined prior to the
commencement date shall be an estimate based on a total annualized figure per
square foot divided into 12 equal payments. On February 1st of each year during
the Lease term that additional rent is due, the Landlord will compute any over-
payment or under-payment of said
-18-
additional rent, and shall bill the Tenant within thirty (30) days or shall
credit the Tenant accordingly.
(e) Net Lease: All rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord, so that this
---------
Lease shall, except as hereinbefore provided to the contrary, yield net to the
Landlord the rent, to be paid in each year during the term of this Lease and
any renewal term. Accordingly, the Tenant's proportionate share of all costs,
expenses and obligations of every kind or nature whatsoever, relating to the
Demised Premises or the Entire Premises, or any improvements thereon, which may
arise or become due during the term of this Lease shall be paid by the Tenant,
and the Landlord shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Tenant from and
against same. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Tenant to
pay or discharge any liens or mortgages of any character whatever which may
hereafter be placed upon the Demised Premises by the affirmative act of the
Landlord. The Landlord and Tenant agree that Xxxxxx's proportionate share of the
buildings shall be sixty-five (65%) percent.
(f) Xxxxxxxx agrees to maintain complete records of all costs reimbursable
by Xxxxxx under the terms of this Lease. All such records shall be maintained in
accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and shall be retained
for a period of four (4) years following the date on which such costs were
charged to Tenant. Tenant shall have the right, through its representatives, to
examine, at the Landlord's office, such records at all reasonable times.
(g) If Landlord and Tenant cannot reach agreement on all costs reimbursable
by Tenant under the Lease, then Landlord and Tenant agree the matter shall be
determined by arbitration.
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an arbitrator by written
notice given to the other party not later than twenty (20) days after Landlord
and Xxxxxx have failed to agree. If either Landlord or Tenant shall have
failed to appoint an arbitrator within such period of time and, thereafter,
shall have failed to do so by written notice given within a period of ten (10)
days after notice by the other party requesting the appointment of such
arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration
Association or its successor (the branch office of which is located in or
closest to the Premises) upon request of the party who shall have timely
appointed an arbitrator.
(ii) The two (2) arbitrators shall attempt to reach agreement on the
matter at issue. In the event they are unable to reach agreement within
thirty (30) days after their joint appointment, they shall appoint a third
(3rd) arbitrator (the "Referee") by written notice given to both Landlord and
Xxxxxx, and, if they fail to do so by written notice given within thirty
-19-
(30) days after their appointment, the Referee shall be appointed by the
American Arbitration Association or its successor upon request of Landlord or
Tenant.
(iii) The Referee, selected as aforesaid, shall within thirty (30)
days after his appointment render his decision, which decision shall be strictly
limited to choosing one of the two determinations made by the two arbitrators
chosen by Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx with respect to the matter. The decision of such
arbitrators or the Referee, as the case may be, shall be binding upon Landlord
and Tenant. Duplicate original counterparts of such decision shall be sent
forthwith by the arbitrators or the Referee, as the case may be, by certified
mail, return receipt requested, to both Landlord and Tenant.
29. SURRENDER OF PREMISES: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
---------------------
Lease on the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Tenant
shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received,
clean and free of debris, but obsolescence, ordinary wear and tear and damage by
fire or the elements excepted. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises
occasioned by the installation or removal of its trade, fixtures, furnishings
and equipment.
30. HOLDING OVER: If Tenant, with Xxxxxxxx's consent, remains in possession of
------------
the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease with fifty (50%) percent premium paid to Landlord, unless other
arrangements are made with Tenant at Leased sale option, pertaining to the
obligations of Tenant.
31. LATE CHARGE: There shall be assessed against the Tenant at the Landlord's
-----------
option in addition to the Landlord's other remedies named herein, a late charge
for rent not received by the Landlord by the end of fifteen (15) days after the
date it is due in the amount of five (5%) percent of the monthly payment.
32. MAINTENANCE OF HVAC SYSTEM: Tenant agrees to maintain during the term of
--------------------------
this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, a service or maintenance
agreement in connection with the HVAC system with a company acceptable to the
Landlord for at least a semiannual servicing of said equipment.
33. QUIET ENJOYMENT: The Landlord covenants to the Tenant, subject to the
---------------
conditions and covenants herein contained on paying the rent and performing the
covenants aforesaid, that the Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have,
hold and enjoy the Demised Premises for the term aforesaid.
-20-
34. LANDLORD'S WORK: Landlord at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall
---------------

by the parties and attached hereto as Exhibit B and will apply for and prosecute
any permits and governmental approvals required. All exterior work shall comply
with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
35. HAZARDOUS WASTE: The Tenant agrees that the storage or use of any
---------------
hazardous waste substance or petroleum product material shall be in compliance
with all federal, state or local laws or regulations. The Tenant further
agrees that it shall be responsible for all costs, damages or liability that
may be incurred in connection with its hazardous waste discharge, spillage, or
any other violation of any law in connection with its storage or use of
hazardous waste materials or petroleum products. Xxxxxx agrees to notify
Landlord within twenty-four (24) hours of its having any notice, whether actual
or implied, of any hazardous waste or petroleum products discharge or violation
of this paragraph.
The Tenant agrees that it shall be responsible for the cleanup of any
discharge or spillage caused by Tenant. In the event of Xxxxxx's hazardous
waste discharge or spillage, if necessary, the Tenant shall immediately have
said soil tested by a firm specializing in said work and enter into a
contract for the removal of said soils and replacing of soils with clean fill
and for the replacing of any areas disturbed because of said discharge or
spillage. All of said work shall take place within one hundred twenty (120)
days of knowledge of said discharge or spillage.
In the event Tenant fails to perform said work as set forth in this
paragraph, then, in such event, the Landlord may cause the same to be completed
and the Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of same within ten (10) days
after presentation of bill to Tenant for the work performed, together with all
reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in the performance of said work and
repairing any damage to the entire Premises and including any reasonable

which arise during or after the term from or in connection with the presence or
suspected presence of toxic or hazardous substances in the soil, groundwater or
soil vapor on or under Building E, as of the Commencement Date of this Lease
unless the toxic or hazardous substances are present solely as a result of the
actions or omissions of Tenant, its officers, employees or agents.
-21-
36. TENANT ALLOWANCE: Landlord agrees Tenant shall be entitled
-----------------
during each year of the lease to FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00) DOLLARS worth of
improvements to the exterior of the premises. All requests for such
improvements shall be submitted in writing to the Landlord prior to the
expiration of each lease year.
In the event Tenant elects to forego the FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00) DOLLAR
entitlement in any year or years during the lease term then that year or years
entitlement shall be added to the next succeeding year the intent of the parties
being that the FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00) DOLLARS be cumulative during the lease

premises or portion thereof to such third person in accordance with the terms
and conditions of his offer.

-22-
39. LANDLORD LIABILITY: It is expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that

is assumed by, nor at any time may be asserted against Landlord or his heirs, or
legal representatives, all such liabilities, if any, being expressly waived and
released by Xxxxxx. Provided, however, if Xxxxxx obtains a final judgement
against Landlord based upon breach by Landlord of his covenants, warranties,
undertakings or agreements contained in this Lease, and if Landlord does not
satisfy such judgement within thirty (30) days after entry thereof, Tenant may,
successively if necessary (and in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided at law or in equity or elsewhere herein) set off the amount of such
judgement against the rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord by Tenant
hereunder next due under the provisions of this Lease. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the waiver of Landlords personal liability set forth
in this Paragraph 39 shall not apply to any liabilities of Landlord arising
pursuant to Paragraph 35, Hazardous Waste, or for over-payment of any rent by
Tenant.
It is further expressly understood and agreed by Xxxxxx that Landlord
reserves the right, at any time during the Lease Term, to transfer title to the
demised premises free from any Right of First Refusal set forth in Paragraph 37
