(c) Tenant also agrees to pay to Landlord its

the Lease term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount
estimated by Landlord to be Tenant's monthly proportionate
share.
(ii) Within 120 days following the end of each
calendar year, Landlord shall furnish with a statement or
statements covering the year just expired showing the
Operating Expenses and Taxes, the amount of Tenant's
proportionate share of the excess thereof for such year and
the payments made by Tenant with respect to such year. If
Tenant's proportionate share is less than Tenant's payments so
made, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit of the difference,
or if such share is greater than Tenant's payments, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such statement. At Landlord's option,
statements may be rendered separately for Tenant's
proportionate share of Taxes and Operating Expenses.

late charge equal to six percent of the amount of the then outstanding
balance due Landlord and a similar charge on the first day of each
succeeding month imposed on the amount that then remains unpaid
(including prior unpaid late charges). Payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord of a lesser amount than the amount then due from Tenant shall
be deemed to be payment on account of late charges, interest and then
the earliest sums due hereunder, and no endorsement or statement of any
check or any letter accompanying any payment shall result in an accord
and satisfaction. Landlord's acceptance of such lesser payment shall be
without prejudice to the exercise by Landlord or any right or remedy
hereunder.

thereunder nor be construed as an eviction, nor work an abatement of rent, nor
relieve Tenant from any obligation hereunder. If Tenant shall require any air
conditioning, electrical or other service outside of the Building's normal

transfer, pledge, or encumber this Lease or any interest therein without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonable

Tenant for the assignment or subletting, including without limitation rent
overages, and no assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of any obligation
hereunder. Landlord's consent to a particular assignment, subletting, transfer,

retaining the right to consent to each and every of same.
11. MECHANICS LIENS. The Landlord's interest in the Premises is
not and shall not be subject to liens for improvements made by Tenant. Tenant
agrees to notify every person making improvements to the Premises of the
provisions of this paragraph, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a default
hereunder. Tenant will not permit any mechanic's lien to be filed against the
Premises or the Building. In the event any such lien is claimed against the
Premises or Building because of work done for or materials furnished to Tenant,
then Tenant shall promptly cause same to be discharged. If Tenant fails to do so
within ten (10) days after demand, then, in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, discharge the same. Any amount paid by
Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes and Landlord's reasonable attorneys'
fees shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. At Landlord's request
Tenant shall execute a memorandum of lease containing these provisions in order
to protect Landlord's estate against such liens.

satisfactory in all respects to Landlord, and casualty and extended coverage
insurance insuring the full replacement value of all Tenant's fixtures and
personalty. All policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured, with the
premiums thereon fully paid by Tenant on or before their due date. The liability
insurance policy shall afford minimum protection of not less than $1,000,000
combined single limit coverage of bodily injury, property damage or combination
thereof. Prior to its occupancy of the Premises and from time to time thereafter
as requested by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates of the
insurers providing the insurance required hereby certifying that such coverages

rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its
agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the
Premises or the Building or any personal property therein, by reason of fire,
the elements, or any other cause(s) which are insured against under the terms of
insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the
other party hereto, its agents, officers, contractors, or employees. Each party
agrees to obtain a waiver of subrogation endorsement on its insurance policies.
14. CASUALTY DAMAGE. If the Premises or any part thereof is
damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Landlord. If the Building shall be so damaged that substantial
alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord's sole opinion,
be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such
casualty) or in the event any mortgagee of Landlord should require that the
insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment
of the mortgage debt, or in the event of any material uninsured loss to the
Building, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant
in writing of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such
damage. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall
commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building to
substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the
happening of the casualty. When the Building has been restored by Landlord
(including the work done by Landlord in the Premises as "Landlord's Work" under
the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit "B"), Tenant shall complete the
restoration of the Premises and the replacement of Tenant's furniture and
equipment. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to
Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage
or the repair thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the next
sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of base rent and
Operating Expenses during the time and to the extent the Premises are
untenantable. If the Premises or any other portion of the Building be damaged by

Premises is thus taken or sold, Landlord (whether or not the Premises are
affected thereby) may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to
Tenant, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical
possession of such portion of the Building or Premises is taken by the
condemning authority. If this Lease is not so terminated upon any such taking or
sale, the base rental and Operating Expenses payable hereunder shall be
diminished by an equitable amount, and Landlord shall, to the extent Landlord
deems feasible, restore the Building and the Premises to substantially their
former condition, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work done by
Landlord in originally constructing the Building, including the Landlord's Work
required to be done in the Premises by the Work Letter, nor shall Landlord in
any event be required to expend for such work an amount in excess of the amount
received by Landlord as compensation for such damage. All amounts awarded upon a

connecting tunnels and corridors, mechanical rooms, janitorial closets,
electrical and telephone closets, vending areas and the like). For purposes of
this Lease the rentable area of the Premise, if a full floor, is the rentable
area of that floor plus a proportionate part of the common and
