Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Leased Premises or its fitness or availability for any particular use, and Landlord shall not be liable for any latent or patent defect therein.

2. Term and Extension Options

(a) The Initial Term of this Lease shall be for a period commencing on the commencement date of this Lease as mutually agreed upon by the parties and terminating on the twentieth-fifth (25th) anniversary thereof, plus the number of

days necessary to end the term on the last day of a calendar month or on such earlier date upon which said term may expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the conditions of limitation or other provisions of this Lease, or pursuant to the provisions of any present or future constitution, law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, other governmental order, or controlling judicial determination of any federal, state, local, municipal, or other governmental body, agency, or authority having or asserting jurisdiction, and all departments, commissions, boards, and officers thereof (collectively, the Laws).

(b) Provided the Tenant shall keep, observe, and perform all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be kept, observed, and performed, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) consecutive period of five (5) Lease Years (hereinafter referred to as the First Extended Term), provided Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then existing term hereof, that Tenant elects to extend the term of this Lease, and provided further that this Lease, as extended, shall be upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions as are contained herein, except as to the duration of the term hereof, the fixed annual Minimum Rental rate amount and any other provisions of this Lease which by their terms are applicable only to any portions of the term and excluding any further option of extension. Failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed a complete waiver of the options herein granted.

3. Fixed Annual Minimum Rental

Tenant covenants to pay Landlord, without previous demand therefor, and without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, a net fixed annual minimum rent (the Minimum Rental) for each year of the Initial Term and any Extended Term of this Lease, payable in equal monthly installments, in advance on or before the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month during the term of this Lease in amounts as provided on Schedule B annexed hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.

5. Additional Rent

Nothing herein contained shall require Tenant to pay income taxes assessed against Landlord, or any capital levy, corporation franchise, excess profits, estate, succession, inheritance, or transfer taxes of Landlord, unless such taxes are imposed or levied upon or assessed as a total or partial substitute for, or in lieu of, any other Imposition required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5(b), in which event same shall be deemed Impositions and shall be paid by Tenant; provided, however, that if at any time during the term of this Lease, the method of taxation shall be such that there shall be levied, assessed, or imposed on Landlord a capital levy, gross receipts, or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax or an assessment, levy, or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents, the Leased Premises (including, but not limited to, the acquisition, leasing, use, or value thereof) or the present or any future Improvements on the Leased Premises or the construction thereof and/or measured in whole or in part by Landlord’s income from the Leased Premises, if in computing such income there is not allowed as a deduction any significant portion of the depreciation or interest deductions allowed for federal income tax purposes, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, and charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term Imposition for the

purposes hereof, but only to the extent that such taxes would be payable if the Leased Premises were the only property of Landlord, and Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided in respect of the payment of Impositions. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, promptly after payment of any real estate taxes or premiums, and, with respect to any other Impositions, promptly upon request of Landlord, official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing payment of such Imposition. Upon Tenant’s failure to pay such Impositions, or failure to provide proof of such payment, as above provided, or otherwise if, as, and when required by a Mortgagee, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, to require Tenant to: (i) promptly deposit with Landlord funds for the payment of current Impositions required to be paid by Tenant hereunder; and (ii) also deposit one-twelfth (1/12th) of the current annual or annualized Impositions as the case may be, or those of the preceding years if the current amounts thereof have not been fixed, on the first day of each month in advance, except that all additional funds required for any payments thereof shall also be deposited as aforesaid on the first day of the month during which, or at the end of which, an Imposition is due and payable without interest, penalty, or liability, and any interest made available to Landlord earned on such funds shall accrue for the benefit of Tenant.

(ix)

Costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with damage, casualty or condemnation of all or a portion of the project.; provided, however, that Landlord may include such cost and expenses as additional rent if Landlord actually makes such repair and an insurance claim in connection therewith is not made or insurance does not pay such claim as a result of Tenant’s actions or omissions;

(c) The Tenant shall keep and maintain the Leased Premises in compliance with, and shall not cause or permit the Leased Premises to be in violation of, any federal, state, or local laws, ordinances or regulations relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental conditions (Hazardous Materials Laws) on, under, about, or affecting the Leased Premises.

(x) If any Tenant Change involving an estimated cost in excess of Fifty Thousand ($50,000.00) Dollars is undertaken by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 or 12 of this Lease, then each request for reimbursement shall be accompanied by waivers of lien and/or sworn statements which shall be satisfactory to Landlord and Mortgagee, covering that part of the work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested, and by a search prepared by a title company or by other evidence, satisfactory to Landlord and Mortgagee, that there has not been filed with respect to any part of the Leased Premises any mechanics’ or other lien or instrument for the retention of title in respect of any of the work not discharged of record, and, if and as requested by, and satisfactory to, Landlord or any Mortgagee, title policy endorsements sufficient to evidence the foregoing and insure the priority of the requesting party’s interest in the Leased Premises;

(xi) If any Tenant Change involving an estimated cost in excess of Two Hundred Twenty Five Thousand ($225,000.00) Dollars is undertaken by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9 of this Lease relating to the N.

(xii) No Tenant Change shall tie-in or connect the Leased Premises or any Improvements thereon with any property outside the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord; and

Section 11 or 12 of this Lease, any Mortgagee may, require Tenant to post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and satisfactory to Mortgagee, as the case may be, to insure the completion of such Tenant Change.

(xv) Whenever in this Section 9 of this Lease the consent or approval of Landlord is required, or the Landlord is otherwise entitled to exercise any right in connection with any Tenant Change undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 involving an estimated cost in excess of a certain amount (each such amount, a Tenant Change Threshold Amount), such Tenant Change Threshold Amount shall be deemed to have been increased or decreased, as the case may be, as of the first day of each Lease Period, by an amount equal to the change, expressed as a percentage, between the Base Price Index and the Price Index as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Lease Period, without regard to any prior adjustments undertaken pursuant to this subparagraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Tenant Change Threshold Amount as provided in this Section 9 shall be deemed to have been increased or decreased for purposes of determining whether the consent or approval of any Person other than Landlord is required or whether any person other than Landlord is entitled to exercise any other right in connection with any Tenant Change, it being the intent and understanding of Tenant that no right or privilege of any other Person other than the Landlord shall be, or be deemed to be or have been, affected, altered, changed, or modified in any way whatsoever as a result of the operation of this subparagraph.

(a) In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease, title to the whole or materially all of the Leased Premises shall be taken by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement between the Landlord and those authorized to exercise such right, this Lease shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking (herein called the Taking Date), and the rent provided to be paid by the Tenant shall be apportioned and paid to the Taking Date.

(b) If (i) any portion of any building on the Leased Premises shall be taken, or (ii) any portion of the parking accommodations shall be taken, or (iii) substantially all reasonable means of ingress and egress to and from the Leased Premises are permanently eliminated by reason of such a taking, then and in any of such events, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease on the next date for payment of Minimum Rental occurring at least one hundred twenty (120) days after notice to the other given within ninety (90) days after the Taking Date; provided, however, that Tenant may not terminate this Lease by reason of any such reduction of the parking accommodations if, prior to the actual reduction, Landlord shall have provided substitute parking areas adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the Leased Premises, which, together with the remaining parking accommodations, are sufficient to produce accommodations equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the accommodations existing prior to such taking, or such greater percentage as may be necessary to bring such accommodations into compliance with all then applicable zoning requirements.

(c) If and when it shall be established that this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 12, then Tenant shall (i) be deemed to have hereby made an irrevocable offer (the Offer) to purchase the Leased Premises and Landlord’s right to the award payable in connection with such taking as of the Taking Date, at a price (the “Purchase Price”) determined in accordance with Schedule C attached hereto and the Fair Market Value as defined therein, and (ii) if less than the entire Leased Premises shall have been taken, and Tenant elects to cancel as a result thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of Tenant, signed by the President or any Vice President thereof, stating that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of Tenant, the portion of the Leased Premises or the means of ingress and egress so taken is sufficient to fulfill the conditions set forth in subdivisions (i), (ii), or (iii) of subsection (b) of this Section 12.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 during any Extended Term to which the Initial Term is extended pursuant to any provisions of this Lease, then the foregoing provisions of this subsection 12(c) shall be inapplicable and of no force or effect.

(d) If Landlord desires to accept the Offer, it shall notify Tenant of such acceptance (the Acceptance Notice), and the procedures specified in subsection (e) hereof shall be applicable except that the Closing Date shall be a date specified by Landlord in the Acceptance Notice, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days from the date thereof, but in no event shall the Closing Date be prior to the Taking Date. If Landlord shall reject the Offer by notice given to Tenant not later than the tenth (l0th) day prior to the Taking Date, then, except with respect to obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, actual or contingent, which have arisen on or prior to the Taking Date, this Lease shall terminate on the Taking Date upon payment by Tenant of all installments of Minimum Rental and all other sums then due and payable under this Lease to and including the Taking Date. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Taking Date occurs, and any Mortgages are then in effect, any rejection by Landlord of the Offer shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless accompanied by the written consent thereto of all Mortgagees.

(e) If Landlord shall not have rejected the Offer as provided in subsection (d) above, or if Landlord makes such rejection without the consent (if required) of any Mortgagees, then Tenant shall forthwith give written notice thereof (the Final Notice) to Landlord, and if such rejection is not made and/or such consent is not given, as the case may be, within five (5) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Notice from Tenant, then Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted the Offer, and on a date (the Closing Date) which shall be specified by Tenant in the Final Notice, but not more than thirty (30) days from the date of the Final Notice, Landlord shall transfer, convey, or assign to Tenant or its designee upon the terms and provisions set forth in subsections 23(a) and 23(b) hereof, all of Landlord’s right, title, and interest, if any, in (i) the Leased Premises, and (ii) the Net Award (as hereinafter defined), (whether or not such Net Award or any part thereof shall have been received by Landlord). Concurrently with such transfer, conveyance, or assignment, Tenant shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to Landlord together with all installments of Minimum Rental and all other sums then due and payable under this Lease to and including such Closing Date minus, however, any part of the Net Award which may theretofore have been received by Landlord. In the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 12, and only if Tenant shall have purchased the Leased Premises pursuant to this Section 12, Tenant or its designee shall be entitled to the “Net Award” payable in connection with such taking (the entire award less all of Landlord’s expenses related thereto being herein called the Net Award). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (i) in the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 12, and if Tenant shall not have purchased the Leased Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12, or (ii) if this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 after the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease, then, in either of such events, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award payable in connection with such taking.

(f) In the event of any taking of the Leased Premises, and if this Lease shall not terminate as provided in subsections 12(a) and 12(b) above, then this Lease shall continue unaffected (except as hereinafter specifically otherwise provided), and the Landlord shall be entitled to all awards, damages, consequential damages, and compensation for such taking, and

the Tenant shall not be entitled to share in any such award or have any claim against Landlord for any part thereof, provided: (i) Landlord shall, to the extent the Net Award paid for the Improvements on the Leased Premises is made available to Landlord, reimburse Tenant for its cost of demolition, repair, rebuilding, and restoration to return the Improvements to a tenantable condition, as and when expended, and paid in like manner and subject to the provisions and conditions contained in Section 9 above, which provisions and conditions shall be deemed to apply to such demolition, repair, rebuilding, and restoration, The Minimum Rental payable by Tenant shall be reduced in the same proportion as the amount of usable floor space of the building improvements taken. Such taking and reduction of Minimum Rental shall not relieve Tenant from Tenant’s obligation to pay the full additional rent payable under the Lease.

(g) In the event Landlord is advised of an impending condemnation, the Landlord shall give notice of such fact to the Tenant and the Tenant, at its election, shall be entitled to participate in any negotiations or litigation with the condemning authority.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall be entitled to claim separately, in any condemnation proceeding, any damages payable for movable trade fixtures paid for and installed by Tenant (or any persons claiming under Tenant) without any contribution or reimbursement therefor by Landlord, and for Tenant’s loss of business, and for Tenant’s relocation costs; provided Landlord’s award is not reduced or otherwise adversely affected thereby.

13. Removal of Tenant’s Property

Provided the Tenant is not then in default hereunder, the Tenant shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Lease, to remove Tenant’s Property, consisting of machinery, trade equipment, business and trade fixtures, including all furnishings, office equipment, telecommunication and data processing equipment, and all other trade equipment placed, installed, supplied, or made by it in or on the Leased Premises, at Tenant’s cost and expense (without any contribution or reimbursement therefor by Landlord) which was not specifically conveyed, transferred or sold to Landlord pursuant to that certain Limited Warranty Deed or ▇▇▇▇ of Sale dated on or about , 2007, and which may be removed without material injury to the Leased Premises; provided, however, that any damage to the Leased Premises or any part thereof occasioned by such removal shall be repaired by the Tenant at Tenant’s cost and expense. As used herein and hereafter, the term Tenant’s Property shall not include or be deemed to include any item now or hereafter installed in or on the Leased Premises that is an integral part of the building, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning plants and systems, electrical and plumbing fixtures and systems, and other like equipment and fixtures, if any. In the event Tenant’s property is not removed within ninety (90) days after notice by Landlord or then owner of the Land to remove the same, the title to any such Tenant Property remaining after ninety (90) days automatically vests in the owner of the Land at such time.

14. Subordination, Non-Disturbance, Notice to Lessors and Mortgagees

(a) This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all ground and underlying leases of all or any portions of the Leased Premises, now or hereafter existing, and to all Mortgages

which may now or hereafter affect all or any portions of the Leased Premises and/or any of such leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such Mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, and extension of such leases and Mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such Mortgages; provided, that, as to any such leases and/or Mortgages that become liens of record after the date of this Lease, the lessors and/or Mortgagees thereunder shall, each enter into a non-disturbance agreement, in favor of Tenant, to provide that in the event its said Mortgage shall be foreclosed or its said lease shall be terminated, as the case may be, and provided that mere has not occurred an Event of Default hereunder, this Lease shall not terminate on account thereof so long as the Tenant continues to pay the rents reserved in this Lease and otherwise performs and observes all of the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Lease to be performed and observed by or on behalf of Tenant thereunder, The lien of any Mortgages shall not cover any trade fixtures or other personal property paid for and installed in the Leased Premises by Tenant (or any persons claiming under Tenant) without any contribution or reimbursement therefor by Landlord, The provisions of this subsection (a) shall be self-operative. In confirmation of such subordination. Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instruments that Landlord, the lessor of any such lease, or the holder of any Mortgage, or any of their respective successors in interest, may reasonably request to evidence such subordinations, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver such instrument on behalf of Tenant, should Tenant refuse or fail to do so promptly after request, such power being coupled with an interest, and Landlord shall promptly send to Tenant a copy of any subordination agreement executed and delivered by Landlord on behalf of Tenant. The lease(s) to which, at the time in question, this Lease is subject and subordinate is (are) hereinafter sometimes called Superior Lease(s), and the Lessor(s) of a Superior Lease or its (their) successor(s) in interest, at the time in question, is (arc) sometimes hereinafter called Superior Lessor(s), If any Superior Lease (or a memorandum thereof), or any Mortgage, shall not be recorded, the subordination provided for in this Section shall not be effective unless and until Tenant shall have received notice from Landlord or from the Superior Lessors or the Mortgagees thereunder (as the case may be) of the existence of such Superior Lease or Mortgage (as the case may be). If any Mortgagees shall, from time to time, so require, this Lease shall be prior in lien to the lien of its or their respective Mortgages.

(b) In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Least, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to each Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address shall have been previously furnished to Tenant in writing, and (ii) unless such act or omission shall be one which is not capable of being remedied by Landlord or any Mortgagee or Superior Lessor within a reasonable period of time, until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when all such Mortgagees and Superior Lessors shall have become entitled under such Mortgages or Superior Leases, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event he less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided any such Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to, and shall commence and continue to, remedy such act or omission, but nothing herein contained shall obligate any Mortgagee or Superior Lessor to do so unless it so elects.

(c) If a Superior Lessor or a Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (herein sometimes called Successor Landlord) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, which such Successor Landlord shall agree to accept if so requested by Tenant, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.

15. Non-Waiver

Neither a failure by the Landlord to exercise any of its options hereunder, nor failure to enforce its rights or seek its remedies upon any default, nor the acceptance by the Landlord of any rent accruing before or after any default, shall effect or constitute a waiver of the Landlord’s right to exercise such option, to enforce such right, or to seek such remedy with respect to that default or to any prior or subsequent default. The remedies provided in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not in any way abridge, modify, or preclude any other rights or remedies to which the Landlord may be entitled either at law or in equity.

If the Tenant pays the rent it is obligated hereunder to pay, and observes all other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, it may peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease, subject, however, to all the terms of this Lease. No failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any right to cancel or terminate this Lease or to ▇▇▇▇▇, reduce, or make any deduction from or offset against any rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or to fail to perform any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.

effective date of such proposed subletting or assignment, and Landlord may, at any time within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from Tenant, enter into a direct lease with the proposed subtenant or assignee or with any other persons as Landlord may desire.

(d) Tenant’s failure to comply with all of the provisions and conditions of this Section 17 and all of the subsections hereof shall (whether or not Landlord’s consent is required under this Section), at Landlord’s option, render any purported assignment or subletting null and void and of no force and effect.

(e) In the event that Tenant hereunder or any Guarantors (hereinafter defined) shall, at any time, be a corporation, no change shall occur in one or a series of related transactions in the management or the majority ownership of and/or the power to vote the majority of the outstanding capital stock of Tenant (or such Guarantors) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord agrees not to withhold unreasonably, The Landlord may consider the following conditions in deciding whether to consent: (a) that the total assets and net worth of such entity after such change by consolidation, merger or otherwise shall be equal to or more than that of Tenant immediately prior to such change; (b) that Tenant is not at such time in default hereunder; and (c) that such successors shall execute an instrument in writing in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord fully assuming all of the obligations and liabilities imposed upon Tenant hereunder and deliver the same to Landlord.

The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used in subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 19 shall mean any person, firm, or entity controlled by, under common control with, or controlling the Landlord or the Tenant (as defined in the preceding sentence) under this Lease, respectively; and for the purpose of interpreting this sentence, the word “control” shall be deemed to mean capable of directing the business activities and direction of such person, firm, or entity. Any defaults in Tenant’s liabilities or obligations under this Lease occasioned by any acts or failures to act by any persons having or claiming any right, title, and interest in or to the Leased Premises by, through, or under Tenant, shall be deemed the default of Tenant hereunder. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 19, Tenant waives (i) the benefit of any Laws exempting property from liability for rent or for debt, and (ii) the service of any notice which may be required by any Laws.

In case of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereinbefore provided, the Landlord shall have the immediate right of reentry, and may remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises by summary proceedings, lawful force, or otherwise. In addition, in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default (whether or not Landlord shall elect to reenter or to take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by Laws), Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease on not less than two (2) days’ notice to Tenant and upon the giving of said notice, this Lease and the term hereof shall cease and expire on the date set forth in said notice as if said date were the expiration date originally set forth herein and/or it may from time to time, whether or not this Lease be terminated, make such alterations and repairs as may be reasonably necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises or any part(s) thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental(s) and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon each such reletting, all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness (other than rents due hereunder) of Tenant to Landlord, second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including, without limitation, brokerage fees (at no greater than customary rates in the area in which the Leased Premises is located) and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and of the cost of such alterations and repairs, third, to the payment of rents due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rents and other payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder as the same may become due and payable hereunder, with the right reserved to Landlord to bring such action(s) or proceeding(s) for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid without being obliged to await the end of the term for a final determination of Tenant’s account; and the commencement or maintenance of any one or more actions shall not bar Landlord from bringing other or subsequent actions for further accruals pursuant to the

provisions of this Section. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly subject to Landlord’s right of action(s) or proceeding(s) as aforesaid. No such reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant, or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and including the worth, at the time of such termination, of the excess, if any, of the amount of rental and charges equivalent to the rental and charges reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the then term of this Lease, over the aggregate rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of such term, all of which shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. If any Laws shall validly limit the amount of the damages provided for in the immediately preceding sentence to less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such Laws. In the event the Tenant does not comply with its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right to appropriate injunctive relief. The rights and remedies, whether herein or anywhere else in this Lease provided, shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of, or act as a waiver of, any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder, or which may be existing at law, or in equity, or by statute, or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant, and its successors and assigns, shall at all times indemnify Landlord for, defend Landlord against, and save Landlord harmless from, any liability, loss, cost, injury, damage, or other expense or risk whatsoever, directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting from, or otherwise in connection with (i) the failure for any reason on the part of Tenant to perform, observe, or comply with any of the covenants, conditions, and obligations under this Lease to be performed, observed, or complied with by Tenant, and/or (ii) the failure for any reason of any representation, warranty, or covenant given by Tenant in connection with the execution of this Lease by Landlord to be materially true, complete, and accurate, including, without limitation, any representation, warranty, or covenant given or made by Tenant under that certain Contract of Purchase and Lease executed by and between Landlord or its predecessor-in-interest, as purchaser, and Tenant or its predecessor-in-interest, as seller, respecting the acquisition of the Leased Premises by Landlord and contemporaneously with the consummation of which this Lease was executed, all of which representations, warranties, and covenants are hereby incorporated by reference herein this Lease.

20. Tax Appeals and Contests

(a) Tenant shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Imposition of any kind by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but no such contest shall be carried on or maintained by Tenant after the time limit for the payment of any Imposition unless the Tenant, at its option: (i) shall pay the amount involved under protest; or (ii) shall procure and maintain a stay of all proceedings to enforce any collection of any Imposition, together with all penalties, interest, costs, and expenses, by a deposit of a sufficient sum of money, or by such undertaking as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish such stay; or (iii) shall deposit with Landlord or any Superior Lessor or Mortgagee, as security for the performance by the Tenant of its obligations hereunder with respect to

such Impositions, such security in amounts equal to such contested amount or such reasonable security as may be demanded by the Landlord or any Superior Lessor or Mortgagee to insure payment of such contested Imposition and all penalties, interest, costs, and expenses which may accrue during the period of the contest.

(c) In the event that Tenant has sent Landlord a First Offer, then for a period of one (1) year from the Offer Notice, Landlord shall not sell the Leased Premises to a third party for less than the amount of the First Offer Purchase Price or on terms substantially more onerous to Landlord than the Other Terms.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to accept the First Offer or to sell the Leased Premises to any third party;

(d) If Tenant has sent Landlord a First Offer in compliance with subsection (b) of this Section 33 and Landlord has not accepted a third party offer within one (1) year after receipt of the First Offer, the Offer Notice shall terminate, and Tenant’s right of first offer shall again be in full force and effect;

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 33, the provisions of this Section 33 shall not apply to, and Landlord shall have no obligation and Tenant shall have no right under this Section 33 in connection with, any of the following:

(i) any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or any interest therein incidental to the exercise of any remedy provided for in any Mortgage or Superior Lease,

(ii) any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or any interest therein if, at the time Landlord would have otherwise been obligated to send Tenant an Offer Notice in connection with such disposition or at any time thereafter, there shall have occurred an Event of Default hereunder.

A. §§701 to 784 (Bankruptcy Code) and Tenant’s trustee or Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may be made only if the provisions of this Section 34 are satisfied. If Tenant or Tenant’s trustee shall fail to assume this Lease within 60 days after the entry of an order for relief, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected. Immediately thereupon, Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenant’s trustee and this Lease, upon the election of Landlord, shall terminate, but Landlord’s right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to Section 19 or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding) shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.

(b) In the event that a voluntary petition for reorganization is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in the event of the entry of an order for relief under Chapter 7 in a case which is then transferred to Chapter 11, Tenant’s trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession, must elect to assume this Lease within 60 days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter 11 or the transfer thereto, or Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. Immediately thereupon, Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenant’s trustee and this Lease, upon the election of Landlord, shall terminate, but Landlord’s right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to Section 19 or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding) shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.

(c) No election by Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, shall be effective unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(i) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured all defaults under this Lease, or has provided Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord that it will cure all defaults susceptible of being cured by the payment of money within 10 days from the date of such assumption, and that it will cure all other defaults under this Lease which are susceptible of being cured by the performance of any act within 30 days after the date of such assumption.

(ii) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated, or has provided Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord that, within 10 days from the date of such assumption, it will compensate, Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession as indicated in any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession.

(iii) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession (A) has provided Landlord with Assurance, as hereinbelow defined, of the future performance of each of the obligations under this Lease of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession, and (B) shall, in addition to any other security deposits held by Landlord, deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of Minimum Rental and for the performance of all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to 3 monthly installments of Minimum Rental and any percentage rental payable under this Lease (both at the rate then payable), and (C) pay in advance to Landlord on the date each installment of Minimum Rental is due and payable, one-twelfth of Tenant’s annual obligations for Impositions and

insurance premiums to be made by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. The obligations imposed upon Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession by this Section 34 shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of this Lease, after the conclusion of proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code.

(iv) Such assumption will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, Mortgage, financing agreement, or other agreement by which Landlord or the Superior Lessor is bound, relating to the Leased Premises or any larger development of which the Leased Premises is a part.

(d) For purposes of subsection (c)(iii) of this Section 34, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Assurance shall mean no less than: (i) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has, and will continue to have, sufficient unencumbered assets, after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses, to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) to secure to Landlord the obligations of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession, and to assure the ability of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession to cure the defaults under this Lease, monetary and/or non-monetary, there shall have been: (A) sufficient cash deposited with Landlord, or (B) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord, and/or (C) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall have granted to Landlord a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in properly of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord.

(e) In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 34 and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or files, or has filed against it, a subsequent petition under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute for relief of debtors, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder, by giving Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within 30 days after the occurrence of either of such events.

(f) If Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed this Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 34 for the purpose of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so assigned only if the proposed assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all consideration for such assignment, whether cash or otherwise. As used in this subsection (f) of this Section 34 “adequate assurance of future performance” shall mean at least that clauses (B) and (C) of subsection (c)(iii) of this Section 34, and each of the following conditions, has been satisfied:

(i) The proposed assignee has furnished Landlord with a current financial statement audited by a certified public accountant, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, indicating a credit rating, net worth, and working capital in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance of such assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, but in no event indicating a net worth less than the net worth of the Tenant and any Guarantors of this Lease, on the date of execution hereof.

(ii) Such assignment will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, Mortgage, financing agreement, or other agreement by which Landlord or the Superior Lessor is bound, relating to the Leased Premises or any larger development of which the Leased Premises is a part.

(iii) The proposed assignment will not release or impair any Guarantee under this Lease.

(g) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Leased Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Minimum Rental and all additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, and shall be paid at the times and when due as though such charges were Minimum Rental and additional rent.

(h) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the whole nor any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or its estate in the Leased Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other similar person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal statute now or hereinafter enacted, or under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant, unless Landlord shall have consented to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by Landlord of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Landlord, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent.

(i) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant covenants and agrees that this Lease is an extension of financial benefits and accommodations to Tenant which are uniquely personal in nature, and such financial benefits and accommodations are a material inducement for Landlord’s execution and delivery of this Lease, and are an integral part of the consideration for this Lease.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and as a material inducement for Landlord’s execution and delivery of this Lease, and the extension of financial benefits and accommodations uniquely personal to Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees for itself, its successors, and assigns, that it will maintain at all times a net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, of not less than the net worth so determined of Tenant and any Guarantors of this Lease on the date of execution hereof. Failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection (j) of Section 34 shall be deemed a default relating to a monetary obligation, as that term is used in Section 19 of this Lease, entitling Landlord to the remedies therein provided.

(k) In the event of an assumption or assignment, or both, of Tenant’s interests pursuant to this Section 34, the right to extend the term of this Lease for an Extended Term beyond the then term of this Lease shall be extinguished.

35. Late Charges

(a) Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be

imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (10) days after the date on which such sum is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

(b) Any amount due Landlord not paid within ten (10) days after the date on which such amount is due shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate from the due date of such amount. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

36. Definitions

For the purposes of this Lease, the following definitions shall be applicable in addition to those definitions of terms contained in other sections and schedules of the Lease:

Lease Year—Any twelve (12) month period during the Initial Term of this Lease and any Extended Term commencing on the first day of the first full calendar month of the term of this Lease.

Any partial month shall be prorated based on the monthly installment amount as set forth in the Lease.

First Renewal Option Rental for lease years 26 through 30 shall be determined by the following. At the commencement of the First Renewal Term, if exercised, the Fixed Annual Minimum Rent, for that Renewal Period shall be adjusted to reflect the increase, if any, in the Index (as herein defined) between date of the commencement of the First Renewal Term and the date of the commencement of the Initial Term. In no event shall the Fixed Annual Minimum Rent be increased by less than 25%. The term “Index” as referred to herein shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), All Items, U.S. City Average (1982-1984=100), published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics. In the event the CPI-U is discontinued, Landlord will select another nationally recognized published index of similar statistical information.

Schedule C.

Determination of Fair Market Value

(a) In the event that Landlord and Tenant shall have failed to agree upon the Fair Market Value (for purposes of this schedule, the Value) when and as provided in this Lease for such agreement, then such Value shall be determined as provided in subparagraph (b) hereof. For purposes of this Schedule, the Taking Date shall be the Determination Date for the Fair Market Value (the Determination Date).

(b)

(i) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an appraiser by written notice given to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after the Determination Date in effect with respect to the Value to be determined. If either Landlord or Tenant shall have failed to appoint an appraiser 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 appraiser, then such appraiser shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association or its successors (the branch office of which is located in or closest to the location of the Leased Premises), upon request of either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be;

(ii) the two (2) appraisers appointed as above provided shall appoint a third (3rd) appraiser by written notice given to both Landlord and Tenant, and, if they fail to do so by written notice given within thirty (30) days after their appointment, such third (3rd) appraiser shall be appointed as above provided for the appointment of an appraiser in the event either party fails to do so;

(iii) all of such appraisers shall be M.A.I. real estate appraisers, having not less than ten (10) years’ experience in appraising the value of real estate similar to the Leased Premises, and whose appraisals are acceptable to savings banks or life insurance companies doing business in the State in which the Leased Premises are located;

(iv) the Fair Market Value shall (a) include the value of the Land, all Improvements located thereon, and all appurtenances thereto (the Lease Premises), (b) shall be determined as if the Leased Premises were free of and unencumbered by this Lease and any subleases, licenses, and concessions thereunder, and (c) shall be determined for the highest or best use or uses of the Leased Premises by whichever applicable valuation method (generally acceptable for M.A.I. appraisals) shall reflect the greatest value (including, without limitation, market value, replacement cost, and capitalization of income methods).

(v) the determination of the Value in question by such appraisers must be reached by a unanimous decision of such appraisers. In the event that such appraisers cannot reach a unanimous determination of the Value in question within the time period allotted therefor, such determination shall be equal to the average of the two appraisals thereof which are closest in value, and insofar as the same is in compliance with the provisions and conditions of this subparagraph (b), shall

be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Duplicate original counterparts of such determination shall be sent forthwith by the appraisers by certified mail, return receipt requested, to both Landlord and Tenant. If, for any reason whatsoever, a written decision of the appraisers shall not be rendered within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third (3rd) appraiser, then, at any time thereafter before such decision shall have been rendered, either party may apply to any court having jurisdiction sitting in the locality where the Leased Premises are located by action, proceeding, or otherwise (but not by a new arbitration proceeding), as may be proper, to determine the question in dispute consistently with the provisions of this Lease. The cost and expense of the appraisers and any such action, proceeding, or otherwise shall be borne by Tenant.
