ARTICLE 9 — DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

9.1 Destruction. If, during the Term, the Improvements and or the Building are totally or partially destroyed, damaged or disfigured (“Destruction”) by any cause whatsoever, whether from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article 8, from a risk not covered by such insurance, or any combination of such risks, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such Damage or Destruction.

9.2.3 Base Rent and other charges under this Lease shall be equitably abated from the date of the occurrence of any Damage until such Damage is fully repaired or restored.

ARTICLE 10 — TAXES

10.1 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in, on or about the Premises. When practicable, Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that portions of Tenant’s personal property taxes may be subject to abatements pursuant to abatement agreements by and between Tenant and various taxing authorities.

10.2 Real Property Taxes. From and after the Rent Commencement Date only, Tenant agrees to pay an amount equal to the full value of Real Property Taxes levied upon the Land and the Premises as would otherwise be due from a non-exempt owner before the later of (i) thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of the tax invoice, of (ii) the date such taxes would be delinquent. Landlord shall ensure that the Land will be assigned separate assessor parcel numbers and will not be assessed as part of any other real property owned by Landlord or other parties. “Real Property Taxes” means real estate taxes levied or assessed against the Premises and the Land as finally determined to be legally payable by legal proceedings after taking into account any available discount, excluding any interest or penalty for late payment. The term “Real Property Taxes” as used in this Lease shall be deemed to exclude any transfer, gift, succession, mortgage, capital stock, corporation, income or profit taxes, or Landlord’s gross profit tax, or any special assessment(s) for highway, street, or traffic control improvements, for sanitary or storm sewers, for utilities, or for other off-site improvements in connection with the development of the Premises where the work in connection with such off-site improvements shall have been commenced on or before the Commencement Date, or for any income, franchise, corporate, personal property, capital levy, capital stock, gross receipts, excess profits, transfer, revenue, estate, inheritance, gift, devolution or succession tax payable by Landlord, or any other tax or assessment upon, or measured by, the rent payable by Tenant hereunder. If any tax or assessment may be paid in installments under applicable laws, only the current annual installment for such tax or assessment shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes.” If Landlord shall actually receive a refund of real estate charges for any tax year in which Tenant has paid its proportionate share of real estate charges, Landlord shall refund Tenant’s proportionate share of such refund to Tenant, and this provision shall survive termination of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to contest Real Property Taxes so long as Tenant indemnifies Landlord from any liability as a result thereof.

ARTICLE 11 — UTILITIES

11.1 Installation. The utilities and services that Landlord is to incorporate into construction of the Premises, if any, are described in the Construction Agreement. Subject to the terms of Section 7.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install at any time emergency power

-14-

equipment servicing the Premises and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant’s installation, use and testing thereof.

11.2 Payment. Tenant shall make arrangements for and pay for all water, gas, power, electrical current, other utilities, heat and air conditioning used by or supplied to the Premises. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed to relieve Landlord of its obligations for the construction and maintenance of utility systems to the extent such construction is required pursuant to the terms of this Lease. If the Premises should become not reasonably suitable for Tenant’s use as a consequence of cessation of utilities or other services, interference with access to the Premises, legal restrictions or the presence of any Hazardous Material which does not result from the release or emission of such Hazardous Material by Tenant or its agents, employees or invitees, and in any of the foregoing cases the interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises persists for seven (7) days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of rent to the extent of the interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises occasioned thereby. If the interference persists for more than ninety (90) days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease.

ARTICLE 12 — ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

12.1 Restrictions on Assignment. Except as provided elsewhere herein, Tenant shall neither voluntarily nor by operation of law assign, sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to require consent to any future assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent and without constituting an assignment or sublease hereunder, sublet the Premises or assign this Lease to (a) an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, (b) a successor entity related to Tenant by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action, or (c) a purchaser of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises. A sale or transfer of Tenant’s capital stock shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting or any other transfer of this Lease or the Premises.

12.2 Tenant’s Notice. Except as provided in Section 12.1 above, if Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease, and if Landlord’s consent thereto is required pursuant to Section 12.1, then Tenant first shall notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed assignee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; and (iii) such reasonable business and financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed assignee. With respect to an assignment, the assignee must expressly assume all prospective obligations of Tenant under this Lease accruing after the assignment. Notwithstanding the assumption of the obligations of this Lease by the assignee, no assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease. The obligations and liability of Tenant hereunder shall continue notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may accept rent and other performance from the assignee. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment.

-15-

12.3 Restrictions on Subletting. Tenant may sublease all or portions of the Premises from time to time with the consent of Landlord, and Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of its consent or denial within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of reasonable information regarding the proposed sublessee. Such consent shall be in the reasonable discretion of the Landlord. Any such sublease shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease. Without Landlord’s consent, Tenant may enter into license agreements with third party providers, to provide food or other services to Tenant’s employees. No sublessee shall have a right to further sublet without Landlord’s prior consent, such consent shall be in the reasonable discretion of the Landlord, and any assignment by a sublessee of the sublease shall be subject to Landlord’s prior consent in the same manner as if Tenant were entering into a new sublease. No sublease, once consented to by Landlord shall be modified or terminated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior consent, such consent being in the reasonable discretion of the Landlord.

12.4 Failure to Comply. Any sale, assignment, mortgage or transfer of this Lease or subletting which does not comply with the provisions of this Section 12 shall be void.

ARTICLE 13 — DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

13.2.1 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period often (10) business days after a written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.

13.2.2 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as described in Section 13.2.1 hereof, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided further, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days is reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

13.2.3 The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises, or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at

-16-

the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days.

13.2.4 Notices given pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall specify the alleged default and the applicable Lease provisions and shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease or pay the rent that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time or vacate the Premises. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice.

13.3 Remedies of Landlord. Following any material default by Tenant as defined in Section 13.2 hereof which is not cured within the time set forth therein, and at any time thereafter prior to Tenant’s cure, and without limiting Landlord’s exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have in law or equity, Landlord shall have the right to: (i), terminate this Lease after giving Tenant thirty (30) days written notice of its intention to do so and in accordance with any laws governing such termination, and Tenant shall then surrender the Premises to Landlord; or (ii) enter and take possession of the Premises, in accordance with any laws governing such repossession, and remove Tenant, after having terminated the Lease; and / or (iii) declare all the rents and fees due or that shall be due under this Lease accelerated, such acceleration shall cause all such amounts to be immediately due and payable by Tenant. Landlord’s exercise of any of its remedies or its receipt of Tenant’s keys shall not be considered an acceptance or surrender of the Premises by Tenant. Landlord waives any right of distraint, distress for rent or Landlord’s lien that may arise at law.

13.4 Landlord Defaults. If Landlord fails to perform any obligations under this Lease and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days following the date of Tenant’s written notice to Landlord specifying such failure (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure, as long as Landlord continues to exercise reasonable efforts to cure same) then in such event Tenant may, in addition to exercising any and all remedies available at law or in equity, perform such obligations on behalf of Landlord. If Landlord has not cured such default, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all third party costs actually incurred by Tenant to cure such default, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant may act sooner in the event of an emergency involving imminent risk of death, personal injury or property damage as long as Tenant has first taken reasonable measures to notify Landlord, and once the emergency has come under control, permits Landlord to control any remaining corrective measures.

13.5 Remedies Cumulative: No Waiver. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord and Tenant contained in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of then shall be exclusive of the other, and each party shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity (including injunctive relief), whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of either party hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance of any rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by the non defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any act by the other party

-17-

requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consenting party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.
