7. HIRING LESSOR'S EMPLOYEES. Lessor spends a great deal of time to
hire and train employees for the operation of the Suite and other suites. Lessee
derives the benefit of Lessor's experience in operating the Suite and of such
hiring and training procedures. Lessee realizes the time and expense Lessor
incurs to obtain personnel, and Lessee therefore agrees not to offer or accept
for hire any of Lessor's employees at any time during the term of any extension
or renewal of this Lease. "Lessor's employees" include Lessor's employees during
the period of their employment with Lessor and for a period of one hundred
eighty (180) days thereafter. Lessor and lessee have considered the matter and
have reasonably endeavored to estimate the actual damages to Lessor in the event
lessee breaches this provision and offers or accepts for hire any of Lessor's
employees, and both realizing that it would be impractical or extremely
difficult to fix the actual damage to Lessor resulting from such offer or hiring
of Lessor's employees. Lessor and Lessee therefore agree that if Lessee offers
or accepts for hire any of Lessor's employees at
5
any time during the term or any extension of renewal of this Lease, or within
one hundred eighty (180) days after lessee moves out of Lessor's offices, Lessee
agrees to pay Lessor the sum of Five Thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for the
employee so hired to compensate Lessor for Lessor's loss in hiring and training
said employee. Said sum represents the amount agreed upon by the parties as
Lessor's liquidated damages.

areas in the Suite. Lessor's insurance does not cover the Lessee's premises or
lessee's property in the Suite and premises. Lessor shall not be libel to

account of loss, damage, fire or theft of any personal or business property,
including, but not limited to property left with the floor receptionist or
telephone operators, door lettering or other property purchased by or belonging
to, Lessee.

Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or
suffered by lessee in the premises and shall further indemnify and hold harmless
Lessor from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in
the performance under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any negligence of
the Lessee or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, visitors, or employees, and
from and against all cost, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in
the defense of any claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and in
case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason of any such
claim. Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at lessee's expense
by counsel satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor's landlord except to the extent of

acceptable to Lessor) of comprehensive general liability insurance with a
combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 insuring against all liability
