For purposes hereof, Taxes for any year shall be Taxes that are due for payment or paid in that year rather than Taxes that are assessed, become a lien, or accrue during such year which obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
3.1.3. Operating Year. The term "Operating Year" shall mean the calendar year commencing January 1st of each year (including the calendar year within which the Commencement Date occurs) during the Term.
3.1.4. Payment of Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2 and 3.2, Tenant's Proportionate. Share of the Operating Expenses as set forth in Section 1.14. Additional Rent commences to accrue upon the Rent Commencement Date. The Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses payable hereunder for the Operating Years in which the Term begins and ends shall be prorated to correspond to that portion of said Operating Years occurring within the Term. Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and any other sums due and payable under this Lease shall be adjusted upon receipt of the actual bills therefor, but in no case less than once per year, and the obligations of this Section 3 shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, Tenant's Proportionate Share of increases in "Controllable Operating Expenses" (as defined herein) for any calendar year shall not include the portion of such Controllable Operating Expenses for such year that exceeds the product of (i) comparable Controllable Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord for the immediately preceding calendar year (as reduced pursuant to this subparagraph), multiplied by (ii) 105% per annum. For the purposes of this subparagraph, "Controllable Operating Expenses" are defined to be all Operating Expenses except (1) Taxes, (2) premiums for insurance coverage, (3) utilities, (4) snow plowing and removal, and (5) any costs of complying with Laws (as defined in Section 9.1) that become effective after the date of this Lease and any costs resulting from changes that become effective after the date of this Lease in the application or official interpretation of, or amendments or modifications to or extensions of, or newly adopted, Laws (including, without limitation, Laws affecting, relating to or providing for "minimum wage" increases or changes in worker's compensation and/or state employment insurance requirements). If Tenant disputes the amount set forth in a given statement of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole expense, to cause Landlord's books and records with respect to the particular Operating Year that is the subject of that particular statement to be audited, provided Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after Landlord delivers the statement in question to Tenant. Operating Expenses shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any errors or omissions discovered by such audit. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that the accountant engaged by Tenant to conduct the audit shall be compensated on an hourly basis and shall not be compensated based upon a percentage of overcharges it discovers.
3
3.2. Payment of Additional Rent. Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate the Operating Expenses for each Operating Year. Upon Landlord's or Agent's annual notice to Tenant of such estimated amount and the reconciliation estimated, Tenant shall pay, on the first day of each month during that Operating Year, an amount (the "Estimated Additional Rent") equal to the estimate of the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses divided by 12 (or the fractional portion of the Operating Year remaining at the time Landlord delivers its notice of the estimated amounts due from Tenant for that Operating Year). If the aggregate amount of Estimated Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant during any Operating Year is less than Tenant's actual ultimate liability for Operating Expenses for that particular Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency within 30 days of Landlord's written demand therefor. If the aggregate amount of Estimated Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant during a given Operating Year exceeds Tenant's actual liability for such Operating Year, the excess shall be credited against the Estimated Additional Rent next due from Tenant during the immediately subsequent Operating Year, except that in the event that such excess is paid by Tenant during the final Lease Year, then upon the expiration of the Term, Landlord or Agent shall pay Tenant the then-applicable excess promptly (but in no event later than ninety (90) days) after determination thereof.

4.2. Use of Common Areas. As used herein, "Common Areas" shall mean all areas within the Property that are available for the common use of tenants of the Property and that are not leased or held for the exclusive use of Tenant or other tenants or licensees, including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, access roads, corridors, landscaping and planted areas, as depicted on Exhibit A-1 hereto. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use the Common Areas for the purposes intended, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may uniformly establish from time to time. Provided, however, Tenant shall have exclusive use of the parking areas and loading areas adjacent to the Premises, which nevertheless shall remain Common Areas for purposes of Section 13.2. Tenant shall not interfere with the rights of any or all of Landlord, other tenants or licensees, or any other person entitled to use the Common Areas. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall not use more than its pro rata share of other parking areas and shall not park or store any vehicles or trailers on, or conduct truck loading and unloading activities in, the Common Areas in a manner that unreasonably disturbs, disrupts or prevents the use of the Common Areas by Landlord, other tenants or licensees or other persons entitled to use the Common Areas. Landlord, from time to time, may change any or all of the size, location, nature and use of any of the Common Areas although such changes may result in inconvenience to Tenant, so long as such changes do not materially and adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord may, at any time, close or suspend access to any Common Areas to perform any acts in the Common Areas as, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are desirable to improve or maintain either or both of the Premises and the Property, or are required in order to satisfy Landlord's obligations under either or both of Sections 13.2 and 18; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to limit any disruption of Tenant's use and operation of the Premises in connection therewith.
4.3. Signage. Tenant shall not affix any sign of any size or character to any portion of the Property, without the prior written approval of Landlord. All signage shall be professionally prepared and subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations.

5.1. Condition of Premises. Landlord shall on the Commencement Date deliver the Premises with Landlord's Work completed and the Building structure and systems in good operating condition. The possession of the Premises or any
4
portion thereof by Tenant shall be deemed a delivery of the Premises to Tenant and, shall constitute conclusive evidence of Tenant's acceptance of the Premises in its "AS-IS" condition, except for Landlord's Work and any punch list items. Not later than ten (10) days after the Commencement Date Landlord and Tenant shall perform a joint inspection of the Premises for the purpose of developing a comprehensive list of punchlist items with respect to Landlord's Work that require completion or repair. Landlord shall cause all punchlist items to be completed or repaired, as applicable, as soon as reasonably possible following the Commencement Date. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Agent, nor any representative of Landlord, has made any representation as to the condition of the foregoing or the suitability of the foregoing for Tenant's intended use, except as expressly stated in the Lease. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of the foregoing. Neither Landlord nor Agent shall be obligated to make any repairs, replacements or improvements (whether structural or otherwise) of any kind or nature to the foregoing in connection with, or in consideration of, this Lease, except (a) as set forth in Sections 5.1, 13.2 and 18 and (b) Landlord's Work. Landlord warrants that, to Landlord's knowledge, on the Commencement Date, the Premises and the Common Areas will comply with all applicable Laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
5.2. Delay in Commencement. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date. The obligations of Tenant under the Lease shall not be affected thereby, except that the Commencement Date shall be delayed until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, and the Commencement Date shall be extended by a period equal to the number of days of delay in delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. Provided, however, if the possession of the Premises is delayed by more than 60 days, Tenant shall be entitled at its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease with no further obligations to Landlord.
5.3. Early Occupancy. Provided Landlord's Work is substantially complete, Tenant shall have a license to enter the Premises (as shown on Exhibit A-1) prior to the Commencement Date in order to install Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. During any entry prior to the Commencement Date Tenant shall comply with all terms and conditions of this Lease other than the obligation to pay Base Rent.

Landlord shall assign to Tenant any warranties obtained from third parties in connection with the Landlord's Work.
6. SUBORDINATION; NOTICES TO SUPERIOR LESSORS AND MORTGAGEES; ATTORNMENT.
6.1. Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (a) any ground lease that may hereafter be executed affecting the Property and (b) any mortgage or deed of trust that may now exist or hereafter be placed upon, and encumber, any or all of the Property and all or any portion of Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust liens to this Lease. Tenant shall execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form reasonably requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority of subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust. No such subordination shall act to alter or diminish tenant rights here under the lease or amend the amount of rent, additional rent or term as long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subordination provided above shall be effective only upon delivery of an executed subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement from present or future mortgagee or ground lessor for the Building and the Property in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. And provided further, no subordination shall alter or diminish Tenant's rights under the Lease or amend the amount of Rent, Additional Rent, or the Term so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods.
6.2. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant shall within fifteen (15) business days after receiving a written request from the Landlord, execute and deliver written statement certifying to the best of its knowledge without inquiry: (i) the Lease document; (ii) the Commencement and Expiration Dates of the Lease; (iii) that the Lease is unmodified and in full effect or in full effect as modified, stating the date and nature of the modification; and (iv) whether the Landlord or Tenant is in default or Tenant has any claims or demands against Landlord and, if so, specifying the default, claim, or demand.

5
6.3. Transfer for Landlord. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Property, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability for any of the covenants or conditions, express or implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's successor in interest ("Successor Landlord") with respect thereto and agrees to attorn to such successor, provided such Successor Landlord has assumed all obligations under this Lease from and after the date of the transfer.
7. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, so long as Tenant pays all of the Rent and performs all of its other obligations hereunder, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises by Landlord, Agent or any other person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord; provided, however, in addition to Landlord's rights under Section 16 and elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord and Landlord's agents, employees, contractors and representatives shall be provided reasonable access to the Premises such that Landlord and Landlord's agents, employees, contractors and representatives may perform the General Maintenance Services (as hereinafter defined) without undue interruption, delay or hindrance, subject to Tenant's security rules. This covenant shall be construed as a covenant running with the Property and is not a personal covenant of Landlord. Tenant shall not unreasonably interrupt, delay, prevent or hinder the performance of the General Maintenance Services by or on behalf of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to use portions of the Common Areas (inclusive of the roof of the Building) for such reasonable purposes and uses as Landlord may desire.
8. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING.
8.1. Prohibition. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease and the Rent due under this Lease have been agreed to by Landlord in reliance upon Tenant's reputation and creditworthiness and upon the continued operation of the Premises by Tenant for the particular use described in Section 4.1 above; therefore, Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, or by operation of law, or otherwise: (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease without the prior approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or allow the same to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant's division, Newport News Shipbuilding Division without the prior approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Premises, or any part thereof, in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole, but reasonable, discretion. Any purported assignment, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease made without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be absolutely null and void. No assignment of this Lease shall be effective and valid unless and until the assignee executes and delivers to Landlord any and all documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence assignee's assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease or mortgage shall not constitute consent or approval of any subsequent assignment, sublease or mortgage, and Landlord's written approval shall be required in all such instances. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or sublease shall be deemed to release Tenant from its obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully liable for performance of all obligations under this Lease.
8.2. Rights of Landlord. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises (or any part thereof) are sublet or used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord or Agent may (without prejudice to, or waiver of its rights), collect Rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant; provided that, if Landlord collects Rent directly from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, Landlord shall give Tenant prompt notice of such assignee's, subtenant's or occupant's failure to pay Rent. Landlord or Agent may apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section 8. With respect to the allocable portion of the Premises sublet, in the event that the total rent and any other considerations received under any sublease by Tenant is greater than the total Rent required to be paid, from time to time, under this Lease and allocable to such portion, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of such excess as received from any subtenant and such amount shall be deemed a component of the Additional Rent.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
9.1. Compliance with Laws. Landlord at its expense (subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.1.1, if and to the extent permitted thereby) shall comply with all local, state and federal laws, rules, regulations and requirements (including but not limited to Environmental Laws) now or hereafter in force and all judicial and administrative decisions in connection with the enforcement thereof (collectively, "Laws") to the extent the same apply directly to the Property and Building structure and systems as a whole. Tenant shall, at its expense (regardless of the cost thereof), comply with all Laws, to the extent the same apply directly to the Premises and Tenant's use and occupancy thereof or are required as a result of any Tenant Alterations. If any license or permit is required for the conduct of a party's business in the Property or the Premises, such party, each at its expense, shall procure such license prior to the Commencement Date, and shall maintain such license or permit in good standing throughout the Term. Each party shall give prompt notice to the other party of any written notice it receives of the alleged violation of any Law or requirement of any governmental or administrative authority with respect to either or both of the Premises and the use or occupation thereof. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of a
6
party in any action or proceeding against that party, whether the other party is a party thereto or not, that any such Law pertaining to the Premises has been violated, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
9.2. Hazardous Materials. Except as necessary in the conduct of its business and in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below) and the quantity does not equal or exceed a "reportable quantity" as defined in 40 C.F.R. 302 and 305, as amended, and with notice thereto to Landlord together with applicable Material Safety Data Sheets, Tenant shall not generate, transport, store, use, treat or dispose of any Hazardous Material (defined below) in, to or from the Premises or the Property.

In connection with such obligations, Tenant shall maintain, in full force and effect, a preventative maintenance and service contract with a reputable service provider for maintenance of the HVAC systems exclusively serving the Premises (the "HVAC Maintenance Contract"). The terms and provisions of any such HVAC Maintenance Contract shall require that the service provider maintain the Premises' HVAC system in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and otherwise in accordance with normal, customary and reasonable practices in the geographic area in which the Premises is located and for HVAC systems comparable to the Premises' HVAC system.

Except for emergency repairs, all such repairs or replacements shall be subject to the supervision and control of Landlord, and all repairs and replacements shall be made with materials of equal or better quality than the items being repaired or replaced.
13.1. Landlord Repairs.

Landlord agrees to commence the repairs, replacements or restoration described in this Section 13.2 within a reasonable period of time after receiving from Tenant written notice of the need for such repairs.

Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant and without affecting Tenant's covenants and obligations hereunder, to stop service of any or all of the HVAC, electric, sanitary, elevator (if any), and other systems serving the Premises, or to stop any other services required by Landlord under this Lease, whenever and for so long as may be necessary by reason of (i) accidents, emergencies, strikes, or the making of repairs or changes which Landlord or Agent, in good faith, deems necessary or (ii) any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. Except in the event of accidents, emergencies or strikes, Landlord shall provide reasonable prior notice to Tenant of its intention to stop service for the purpose of making repairs or changes. Further, it is also understood and agreed that Landlord or Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for a cessation· of services to the Premises or to the Property that occurs as a result of causes beyond Landlord's or Agent's reasonable control. No such interruption of service shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord or Agent liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay Rent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any repair, alteration addition or improvement to the Building by or on behalf of Landlord, or the failure of Landlord to make any repair or to provide any service to the Premises which Landlord is obligated to make or provide (as the case may be) under this Lease (except if such failure is due to strike or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or a failure by the public utility to provide such service to the Building, except as hereinafter provided), Tenant and its employees cannot and do not use (except on an emergency basis) all or any portion of the Premises for the purposes for which they were leased, for a period of three (3) consecutive days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an
10
abatement of all Rent for each day after said three (3) day period for such portion of the Premises which cannot be used as set forth above.
16. LANDLORD'S RIGHTS.

Landlord and Agent shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Premises that may be required in connection with any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, without any liability to Tenant and without any reduction or modification of Tenant's covenants and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to limit interference with Tenant's business operations and Tenant's occupancy and use of the Premises. During the period of 180 days prior to the Expiration Date (or at any time, if Tenant has vacated or abandoned the Premises or is otherwise in default under this Lease), Landlord and its agents may exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants, subject to Tenant's security rules. Additionally, Landlord and Agent shall have the following rights with respect to the Premises, exercisable without notice to Tenant, without liability to Tenant, and without being deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent: (i) to designate and approve, prior to installation, all types of signs; (ii) to have pass keys, access cards, or both, to the Premises subject to Tenant's security rules; and (iii) to decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy at any time after Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises for more than 30 consecutive days or without notice to Landlord of Tenant's intention to reoccupy the Premises.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, however, in all events and under all circumstances, the liability of Landlord to Tenant shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Property for the recovery of any judgment or award against Landlord, it being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency. This indemnity is not intended to indemnify Tenant and the Tenant Indemnified Parties against the consequences of their own negligence or fault. The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
17.3. Force Majeure. The obligations of a party (other than Tenant's obligations to pay Rent and any other sums due and payable under this Lease) hereunder shall be excused and equitable adjustment in performance obligations made, with respect to any act, event or circumstance arising out of failure to fulfill, or delay in fulfilling any of its obligations under this Lease by reason of labor dispute, governmental preemption of property in connection with a public emergency or shortages of fuel, supplies, or labor, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond the party's reasonable control; or failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of utilities furnished to the Premises, or by reason of any requirement, act or omission of any public utility or others serving the Property, beyond the party's reasonable control.

18.2. Rental Abatement.

In such event, the termination shall be effective as of the date upon which Tenant receives written notice from Landlord that Landlord will not restore the Premises within the number of days specified above, and the Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the casualty or the date Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired, whichever is first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property (collectively, "Superior Parties") or other party entitled to the insurance proceeds fails to make such proceeds available to Landlord in an amount sufficient for restoration of the Premises or the Property, or (B) the issuer of any casualty insurance policies on the Property fails to make available to Landlord sufficient proceeds for restoration of the Premises or the Property, then Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice to such effect within 30 days after Landlord
12
receives notice from the Superior Party or insurance company, as the case may be, that such proceeds shall not be made available, in which event the termination of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of the casualty or the date Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired, whichever is first.

Landlord's duty to repair the Premises and the Property (excluding Tenant's Property) is limited to repairing the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to such fire or other casualty.
19. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole, or any substantial portion, of the Property is taken or condemned for any public use under any Law or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and such taking would prevent or materially interfere with the Permitted Use of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate effective when the physical taking of said Premises occurs. If less than a substantial portion of the Property is so taken or condemned, or if the taking or condemnation is temporary (regardless of the portion of the Property affected), this Lease shall not terminate, but the Rent payable hereunder shall be proportionally abated to the extent of any actual loss of use of the Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent or award, or any interest therein whatsoever, which may be paid or made in connection with such a taking or conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired portion of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensation specifically and independently awarded to Tenant for loss of business or goodwill, or for its personal property, shall be the property of Tenant.
20. SURRENDER AND HOLDOVER. On the last day of the Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Premises, (a) Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord "broom-clean" and in good order, condition and repair (as defined by Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference), except for ordinary wear and tear and such damage or destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, (b) Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Property therefrom, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and (c) Tenant shall surrender to Landlord any and all keys, access cards, computer codes or any other items used to access the Premises. Landlord shall be permitted to inspect the Premises in order to verify compliance with this Section 20 at any time prior to (x) the Expiration Date, (y) the effective date of any earlier termination of this Lease, or (z) the surrender date otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. The obligations imposed under the first sentence of this Section 20 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after termination. If any repairs are required to be performed in, to or at the Premises (pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 20 or any other applicable provision of this Lease) upon the expiration or termination of the Term, Tenant shall cause such repairs to be performed, to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, within 10 business days after the date on which this Lease is terminated or expired. If Tenant fails to timely comply with the preceding sentence, then Landlord shall have the right to cause the repairs to be performed, at Tenant's expense, and all such expenses so incurred by Landlord shall bear interest (at the rate specified in Section 22.3) from the date the expense is billed until the date paid, in full, by Tenant (inclusive of interest). If Tenant remains in possession after the Expiration Date hereof or after any earlier termination date of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession: (i) Tenant shall be deemed a tenant-at-will; (ii) Tenant shall pay 125% of the aggregate of the Base Rent, and continue its share of Additional Rent last prevailing hereunder, and also shall pay all actual damages sustained by Landlord, directly by reason of Tenant's remaining in possession after the expiration or termination of this Lease; (iii) there shall be no renewal or extension of this Lease by operation of law; and (iv) the tenancy-at-will may be terminated by either party hereto upon 30 days' prior written notice given by the terminating party to the non-terminating party. The provisions of this Section 20 shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord provided hereunder or by law.
21. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
21.1. Bankruptcy of Tenant. It shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files a voluntary petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law, or an involuntary petition alleging an act of bankruptcy or insolvency is filed against Tenant under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law that is not dismissed within 120 days, or whenever a petition is filed by or against (to the extent not dismissed within 120 days) Tenant under the reorganization provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or under the provisions of any state or federal law of like import, or whenever a petition shall be filed by Tenant under the arrangement provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar state or federal law, or whenever a receiver of Tenant, or of, or for, the property of Tenant shall be appointed, or Tenant admits it is insolvent or is not able to pay its debts as they mature.
21.2. Default Provisions. Each of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease: (a) if Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other payment when due hereunder within seven (7) business days after written notice from Landlord of such failure to pay on the due date; or (b) if Tenant fails, whether by action or inaction, to timely comply with, or satisfy, any
13
or all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease (other than the obligation to pay Rent) for a period of 30 days after Landlord's delivery to Tenant of written notice of such default under this Section 21.2(b); provided, however, that if the default cannot, by its nature, be cured within such 30 day period, but Tenant commences and diligently pursues a cure of such default promptly within the initial 30 day cure period, then Landlord shall not exercise its remedies under Section 22 unless such default remains uncured for more than a reasonable time after the initial delivery of Landlord's original default notice (not to exceed an additional 60 days); or (c) Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises during the Term.
22. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
22.1. Landlord's Cure Rights Upon Default of Tenant. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and fails to cure such default on a timely basis (pursuant to Section 21.2), Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account, and at the expense of, Tenant.
22.2. Landlord's Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option, and after any applicable notice and cure period (as required pursuant to Section 21.2), but without additional notice or demand from Landlord, if any, as provided in Section 21.2 has expired, may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, or otherwise at law or in equity: (a) terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession of the Premises; or (b) terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord may, whether Landlord elects to proceed under Subsections (a) or (b) above, relet the Premises, or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Landlord. In addition, for purposes of any reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent deemed necessary by Landlord, in its sole discretion. In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to (a) above, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant (i) all damages and other sums that Landlord is entitled to recover under any provision of this Lease or at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, all fixed dollar amounts of Base Rent and Additional Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date; (ii) all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable, or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord, under any of the provisions of this Lease, that may be then owing and unpaid; (iii) all reasonable and customary costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' reasonable fees) incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Lease; and (iv) any damages provable by Landlord as a matter of law. If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b) above, and the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not realized therefrom, then to satisfy the payment, when due, of Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved under the Lease for any monthly period (after payment of all Landlord's reasonable expenses of reletting), Tenant shall, in Landlord's sole judgment, either (i) pay any such deficiency monthly or (ii) pay such deficiency on an accelerated basis, which accelerated deficiency shall be discounted at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate in effect on the date of Landlord's demand. If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b) above, and Landlord fails to relet the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord quarterly the accelerated amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease for the balance of the Term, discounted to present value at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate in effect on the date of Landlord's demand. Provided, however, if Landlord later relets the Premises, Landlord shall refund to Tenant a prorated amount of Tenant's payment reflecting the period of the new lease and rents received under the new lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b), then Landlord shall at any time have the further right and remedy to rescind such election and pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (a). Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall receive full credit against any amount owed Landlord under this paragraph for amounts collected under any reletting of the Premises.
22.3. Additional Rights of Landlord. Any and all costs, expenses and disbursements, of any kind or nature, incurred by Landlord or Agent in connection with the enforcement of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, including attorneys' fees (through all appellate proceedings), shall be due and payable (as Additional Rent) upon Landlord's submission of an invoice therefor. All sums advanced by Landlord or Agent on account of Tenant under this Section, or pursuant to any other provision of this Lease, and all Base Rent and Additional Rent, if delinquent or not paid by Tenant and received by Landlord when due hereunder, shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum above the prime rate of interest as published from time to time in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal ("Default Interest"), from the due date thereof until paid, and such interest shall be and constitute Additional Rent and be due and payable upon Landlord's or Agent's submission of an invoice therefor. The various rights, remedies and elections of Landlord reserved, expressed or contained herein are cumulative and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of the others or of such other rights, remedies, options or elections as are now or may hereafter be conferred upon Landlord by law.
22.4. Landlord's Default. Landlord's failure to perform or observe any of its Lease obligations after a period of thirty (30) business days or the additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure
14
after receiving notice from Tenant is a default. The notice shall give in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure. After Tenant receives notice of a mortgagee's name and address and request for notice upon Landlord's default, Tenant shall provide the notice required by this paragraph to the mortgagee at the same time Tenant gives notice to Landlord. If Landlord commits a default and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) business days after notice from Tenant (or the additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure after receiving notice from Tenant is a default), Tenant may pursue any remedies given in this Lease or under the law, including, without limitation, the right to cure such default, and the reasonable costs thereof together with Default Interest, as defined in Section 22.3, at Tenant's election, may be taken as a credit against twenty-five percent (25%) of the installment(s) of Base Rent next due hereunder or may be billed to Landlord, in which case Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) business days after the date of such xxxx. In the event there is not sufficient time remaining under the Lease Term, Tenant may take credit above twenty-five percent (25%) if necessary to reimburse prior to the end of the Term,
23. BROKER. Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that the broker set forth in Section 1.11(A) was the only broker to represent Tenant in the negotiation of this Lease ("Tenant's Broker"). Landlord covenants, warrants and represents that the broker set forth in Section 1.ll(B) was the only broker to represent Landlord in the negotiation of this Lease ("Landlord's Broker"). Landlord shall be solely responsible for paying the commission of Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between Landlord and Landlord's Broker. Each party agrees to and hereby does defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless against and from any other brokerage commissions or finder's fees or claims therefor by a party claiming to have dealt with the indemnifying party and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, for any breach of the foregoing. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
24. MISCELLANEOUS.
24.1. Merger. All prior understandings and agreements between the parties are merged in this Lease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties. No agreement shall be effective to modify this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing, and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of said change or modification is sought.

24.3. Non-Waiver. The failure of either party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the Lease shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord or Agent of Base Rent or Additional Rent with knowledge of breach by Tenant of any obligation of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.
24.4. Default Interest. Any payment of any sums hereunder, or sums advanced or expended to or on behalf of one of the parties hereto by the other party, whether by Landlord to Tenant, or by Tenant to Landlord, which is not made or repaid when due shall accrue Default Interest from the due date through the date of collection or set-off, as the case may be.

Tenant hereby releases Landlord named herein from any obligations of Landlord for any period subsequent to the conveyance and transfer of Landlord's ownership interest in the Property provided Landlord's obligations are thereafter assumed by each transferee (whether Successor Landlord or otherwise).

24.6. Recordation of Lease. Tenant shall not record or file this Lease (or any memorandum hereof) in the public records of any county or state.
24.7. Survival of Obligations.

The captions, headings and titles in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted. Each covenant, agreement, obligation, or other provision of this Lease to be performed by a party, shall be construed as a separate and independent covenant of that party, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease. All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. This Lease may be executed in counterpart and, when all counterpart documents are executed, the counterparts shall constitute a single binding instrument.
24.9. Time. Time is of the essence for this Lease. If the time for performance hereunder falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a day that is recognized as a holiday in the state in which the Property is located, then such time shall be deemed extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday in said state.
