		6		[INITIALS GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

common areas generally include space that is not included in portions of the building set aside for leasing to tenants or reserved for Landlord’s exclusive use, including entrances, hallways, lobbies, elevators, restrooms, walkways and plazas (“Common Areas”). Landlord has the exclusive right to (i) designate the Common Areas, (ii) change the designation of any Common Area and otherwise modify the Common Areas, and (iii) permit special use of the Common Areas, including temporary exclusive use for special occasions. Tenant shall not interfere with the rights of others to use the Common Areas. All use of the Common Areas shall be subject to any rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord.

TERM.

a. Commencement and Expiration Dates. The Lease Term commences on the Commencement Date and expires on the Expiration Date, as set forth in Section 1b.

b. Adjustments to Commencement Date. The Commencement Date shall be adjusted as follows:

If Tenant requests possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, and Landlord consents, the Commencement Date shall be the date of possession. All rent and other obligations under this Lease shall begin on the date of possession, but the Expiration Date shall remain the same.

ii.

If Landlord, for any reason, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, then the Commencement Date, Expiration Date, and all other dates that may be affected by their change, shall be revised to conform to the date of Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. Any such delay shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, and neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents shall be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from the delay in delivery of possession.

c. Termination by Tenant for Failure to Deliver Possession. In the event Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises within (90) days after the original Commencement Date set forth in Section 1b (excluding any delays resulting from force majeure or caused by Tenant – “Excused Delays”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord within one hundred (100) days of the original Commencement Date (excluding Excused Delays). Tenant may not terminate the Lease, however, if it has taken possession of any part of the Premises.

d. Delivery of Possession. Unless otherwise specified in the Workletter attached as Lease Addendum Number One, “delivery of possession” of the Premises shall mean the earlier of: (i) the date Landlord has the Premises ready for occupancy by Tenant as evidenced by (a) a permanent or temporary Certificate of Occupancy, (b) a Conditional Final Inspection, or (c) a Final Inspection issued by proper governmental authority, or (ii) the date Landlord could have had the Premises ready had there been no Delays attributable to Tenant.

e. Adjustment of Expiration Date. If the Expiration Date does not occur on the last day of a calendar month, then Landlord, at its option, may extend the Term by the number of days necessary to cause the Expiration Date to occur on the last day of the last calendar month of the Term. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for such additional days at the same rate payable for the portion of the last calendar month immediately preceding such extension.

f. Right to Occupy. Tenant shall not occupy the Premises until Tenant has complied with all of the following requirements to the extent applicable under the terms of this Lease: (i) delivery of all certificates of insurance, (ii) payment of Security Deposit, (iii) payment of first month’s Rent; (iv) execution and delivery of any required Guaranty of Lease, and (v) if Tenant is an entity, receipt of a good standing certificate from the State where it was organized and a certificate of authority to do business in the State in which the Premises are located (if different). Tenant’s failure to comply with these (or any other conditions precedent to occupancy under the terms of this Lease) shall not delay the Commencement Date.

g. Commencement Agreement. The Commencement Date, Term, and Expiration Date may be set forth in a Commencement Agreement similar to Exhibit C, attached hereto, to be prepared by Landlord and executed by the parties.

In violation of any restrictive covenants which apply to the Premises;

ii.

In any manner that constitutes a nuisance or trespass;

iii.

In any manner which increases any insurance premiums, or makes such insurance unavailable to Landlord on the Building; provided that, in the event of an increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums which results from Tenant’s use of the Premises, Landlord may elect to permit the use and charge Tenant for the increase in premiums, and Tenant’s failure to pay Landlord, on demand, the amount of such increase shall be an event of default;

iv.

In any manner that creates demands for electricity, heating or air conditioning in excess of that stated in paragraph 1.(i); or

For any purpose except the Permitted Use, unless consented to by Landlord in writing.

c. Prohibited Equipment in Premises. Tenant shall not install any equipment in the Premises that places unusual demands on the electrical, heating or air conditioning systems (“High Demand Equipment”) without Landlord’s prior written consent. No such consent will be given if Landlord determines, in its opinion, that such equipment may not be safely used in the Premises or that electrical service is not adequate to support the equipment. Landlord’s consent may be conditioned, without limitation, upon separate metering of the High Demand Equipment and Tenant’s payment of all engineering, equipment, installation, maintenance, removal and restoration costs and utility charges associated with the High Demand Equipment and the separate meter. If High Demand Equipment used in the Premises by Tenant affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the heating and air conditioning system, Landlord shall have the right to install supplemental air conditioning units in the Premises with the cost of engineering, installation, operation and maintenance of the units to be paid by Tenant. All costs and expenses relating to High Demand Equipment and Landlord’s administrative costs (such as reading meters and calculating invoices) shall be Additional Rent, payable by Tenant upon demand.

Rent payments shall be sent to the Rent Payment Address set forth in Section 1f.

iv.

For each Base Rent payment Landlord receives after the fifth (5th) day of the month, Landlord shall be entitled to all default remedies provided under the terms of this Lease, and a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) of all Base Rent due for such month.

If Landlord presents Tenant’s check to any bank and Tenant has insufficient funds to pay for such check, then Landlord shall be entitled to all default remedies provided under the terms of this Lease and the maximum lawful bad check fee or five percent (5%) of the amount of such check, whichever amount is less.


		8		[INITIALS GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the increase in Landlord’s Operating Expenses as set forth in Lease Addendum Number Two;

ii.

Any sales or use tax imposed on rents collected by Landlord or any tax on rents in lieu of ad valorem taxes on the Building, even though laws imposing such taxes attempt to require Landlord to pay the same; provided, however, if any such sales or use tax are imposed on Landlord and Landlord is prohibited by applicable law from collecting the amount of such tax from Tenant as Additional Rent, then Landlord, upon sixty (60) days prior notice to Tenant, may terminate this Lease; and

iii.

Any construction supervision fees in connection with the construction of Tenant Improvements or alterations to the Premises.

SECURITY DEPOSIT.

a. Amount of Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 1g, which sum Landlord shall retain as security for the performance by Tenant of each of its obligations hereunder. The Security Deposit shall not bear interest.

b. Application of Deposit. If Tenant at any time fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, including its Rent or other payment obligations, its restoration obligations, or its insurance and indemnity obligations, then Landlord may, at its option, apply the Security Deposit (or any portion) to cure Tenant’s default or to pay for damages caused by Tenant’s default. If the Lease has been terminated, then Landlord may apply the Security Deposit (or any portion) against the damages incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s breach. The application of the Security Deposit shall not limit Landlord’s remedies for default under the terms of this Lease. If Landlord depletes the Security Deposit, in whole or in part, prior to the Expiration Date or any termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall restore immediately the amount so used by Landlord.

c. Refund of Deposit. Unless Landlord uses the Security Deposit to cure a default of Tenant, to pay damages for Tenant’s breach of the Lease, or to restore the Premises to the condition to which Tenant is required to leave the Premises upon the expiration or any termination of the Lease, then Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or any termination of this Lease, refund to Tenant any funds remaining in the Security Deposit. Tenant may not credit the Security Deposit against any month’s Rent.

vi.

Containing such other agreements and covenants on Tenant’s part as Landlord’s mortgagee may reasonably request.

ASSIGNMENT – SUBLEASE.

a. Landlord Consent. Tenant may not assign or encumber this Lease or its interest in the Premises arising under this Lease, and may not sublet all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. Factors which Landlord may consider in deciding whether to consent to an assignment or sublease include (without limitation), (i) the creditworthiness of the assignee or sublessee, (ii) the proposed use of the Premises, (iii) whether there is other vacant space in the Building, (iv) whether the assignee or sublessee will vacate other space owned by Landlord, (v) whether Landlord is negotiating with the proposed sublessee or assignee for a lease of other space owned by Landlord, and (vi) any renovations to the Premises or special services required by the assignee or sublessee. Landlord will not consent to an assignment or sublease that might result in a use that conflicts with the rights of any existing tenant. One consent shall not be the basis for any further consent.

b. Definition of Assignment. For the purpose of this Section 18, the word “assignment” shall be defined and deemed to include the following: (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of partners owning thirty percent (30%) or more of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership; (ii) if Tenant consists of more than one person, an assignment, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, by one person to one of the other persons that is a Tenant; (iii) if Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution or reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage (hereafter defined) of capital stock of Tenant other than to an affiliate or subsidiary or the sale of fifty-one percent (51%) in value of the assets of Tenant; (iv) if Tenant is a limited liability company, the change of members whose interest in the company is fifty percent (50%) or more. The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of, and the right to vote, stock possessing at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors, or such lesser percentage as is required to provide actual control over the affairs of the corporation; except that, if the Tenant is a publicly traded company, public trades or sales of the Tenant’s stock on a national stock exchange shall not be considered an assignment hereunder even if the aggregate of the trades of sales exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the capital stock of the company.


		15		[INITIALS GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

c. Permitted Assignments/Subleases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease part or all of the Premises without Landlord’s consent to: (i) any corporation, limited liability company, or partnership that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant at the Commencement Date; or (ii) any corporation or limited liability company resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant or to any entity that acquires all of Tenant’s assets as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises; provided however, the assignor remains liable under the Lease and the assignee or sublessee is a bona fide entity and assumes the obligations of Tenant, is as creditworthy as the Tenant, and continues the same Permitted Use as provided under Section 4.

d. Notice to Landlord. Landlord must be given prior written notice of every assignment or subletting, and failure to do so shall be a default hereunder.

e. Prohibited Assignments/Subleases. In no event shall this Lease be assignable by operation of any law, and Tenant’s rights hereunder may not become, and shall not be listed by Tenant as an asset under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord after any non-permitted assignment or sublease shall not constitute approval thereof by Landlord.

f. Limitation on Rights of Assignee/Sublessee. Any assignment or sublease for which Landlord’s consent is required shall not include the right to exercise any options to renew the Lease Term, expand the Premises, cancel the Lease, or similar options, unless specifically provided for in the consent.

g. Tenant Not Released. No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease.

h. Landlord’s Right to Collect Sublease Rents upon Tenant Default. If the Premises (or any portion) is sublet and Tenant defaults under its obligations to Landlord, then Landlord is authorized, at its option, to collect all sublease rents directly from the Sublessee. Tenant hereby assigns the right to collect the sublease rents to Landlord in the event of Tenant default. The collection of sublease rents by Landlord shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, nor shall it create a contractual relationship between Sublessee and Landlord or give Sublessee any greater estate or right to the Premises than contained in its Sublease.

i. Excess Rents. If Tenant assigns this Lease or subleases all or part of the Premises at a rental rate that exceeds the rentals paid to Landlord, then any such excess shall be paid over to Landlord by Tenant.

j. Landlord’s Fees. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee of $1,000.00 per assignment or sublease transaction for which consent is required. If Landlord assists Tenant in finding an assignee or subtenant, Landlord shall be paid a reasonable fee for such assistance.

k. Unauthorized Assignment or Sublease. Any unauthorized assignment or sublease shall constitute a default under the terms of this Lease. In addition to its other remedies for Default, Landlord may elect to increase Base Rent to 150% of the Base Rent reserved under the terms of this Lease.

19.

iii.

Landlord shall have no obligation to repair and restore Tenant’s trade fixtures, decorations, signs, contents, or any Non-Standard Improvements to the Premises.

b. Termination of Lease by Landlord. Landlord shall have the option of terminating the Lease if: (i) the Premises is rendered wholly untenantable; (ii) the Premises is damaged in whole or in part as a result of a risk which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; (iii) Landlord’s lender does not permit a sufficient amount of the insurance proceeds to be used for restoration purposes; (iv) the Premises is damaged in whole or in part during the last two years of the Term; or (v) the Building containing the Premises is damaged (whether or not the Premises is damaged) to an extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the fair market value thereof. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then it shall give notice of the cancellation to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of the Casualty. Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice of termination.

c. Termination of Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall have the option of terminating the Lease if: (i) Landlord has failed to substantially restore the damaged Building or Premises within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Casualty (“Restoration Period”); (ii) the Restoration Period has not been delayed by force majeure; and (iii) Tenant gives Landlord notice of the termination within fifteen 15 days after the end of the Restoration Period (as extended by any force majeure delays). If Landlord is delayed by force majeure, then Landlord must provide Tenant with notice of the delays within fifteen (15) days of the force majeure event stating the reason for the delays and a good faith estimate of the length of the delays.

d. Tenant’s Restoration Obligations. Unless terminated, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant shall promptly repair, restore, or replace Tenant’s trade fixtures, decorations, signs, contents, and any Non-Standard Improvements to the Premises. All repair, restoration or replacement shall be at least to the same condition as existed prior to the Casualty. The proceeds of all insurance carried by Tenant on its property shall be held in trust by Tenant for the purposes of such repair, restoration, or replacement.

e. Rent Abatement. If Premises is rendered wholly untenantable by the Casualty, then the Rent payable by Tenant shall be fully abated. If the Premises is only partially damaged, then Tenant shall continue the operation of Tenant’s business in any part not damaged to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management, and Rent and other charges shall be abated proportionately to the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable. The abatement shall be from the date of the Casualty until the Premises have been substantially repaired and restored, or until Tenant’s business operations are restored in the entire Premises, whichever shall first occur. However, if the Casualty is caused by the negligence or other wrongful conduct of Tenant or of Tenant’s subtenants, licensees, contractors, or invitees, or their respective agents or employees, there shall be no abatement of Rent.

f. Waiver of Claims. The abatement of the Rent set forth above is Tenant’s exclusive remedy against Landlord in the event of a Casualty. Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any compensation or damage for loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any Casualty and any resulting damage, destruction, repair, or restoration.

20.

EMINENT DOMAIN.

a. Effect on Lease. If all of the Premises are taken under the power of eminent domain (or by conveyance in lieu thereof), then this Lease shall terminate as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor, and Rent shall be adjusted between Landlord and Tenant as of such date. If only a portion of the Premises is taken and Tenant can continue use of the remainder, then this Lease will not terminate, but Rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ in a just and proportionate amount to the loss of use occasioned by the taking.

b. Right to Condemnation Award. Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain the entire condemnation award for the taking of the Building and Premises. Tenant shall have no right or claim against Landlord for any part of any award received by Landlord for the taking. Tenant shall have no right or claim for any alleged value of the unexpired portion of this Lease, or its leasehold estate, or for costs of removal, relocation, business interruption expense or any other damages arising out of such taking. Tenant, however, shall not be prevented from making a claim against the condemning party (but not against Landlord ) for any moving expenses, loss of profits, or taking of Tenant’s personal property (other than its leasehold estate) to which Tenant may be entitled; provided that any such award shall not reduce the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the taking of the Building and Premises.

All rights and remedies of Landlord are cumulative, and the exercise of any one shall not be an election excluding Landlord at any other time from exercise of a different or inconsistent remedy. No exercise by Landlord of any right or remedy granted herein shall constitute or effect a termination of this Lease unless Landlord shall so elect by notice delivered to Tenant. The failure of Landlord to exercise its rights in connection with this Lease or any breach or violation of any term, or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant or condition herein contained.

e. No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Rent, Additional Rent and other sums then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such payments due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed as accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

f. No Reinstatement. No payment of money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall reinstate or extend the Term, or make ineffective any notice of termination given to Tenant prior to the payment of such money. After the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment granting Landlord possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any sums due under this Lease, and the payment thereof shall not make ineffective any notice or in any manner affect any pending suit or any judgment previously obtained.

g. Summary Ejectment. Tenant agrees that in addition to all other rights and remedies Landlord may obtain an order for summary ejectment from any court of competent jurisdiction without prejudice to Landlord’s rights to otherwise collect rents or breach of contract damages from Tenant.

LEASE ADDENDUM NUMBER TWO [BASE YEAR calendar year]

ADDITIONAL RENT - OPERATING EXPENSE PASS THROUGHS. For the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2005 and for each calendar year thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any increase in Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred by Landlord’s operation or maintenance of the Building above the Operating Expenses Landlord incurred during the Base Year (as hereinafter defined).

For purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of real and personal property taxes, Landlord shall use the Base Year or the year in which the Building and improvements are completed and are fully assessed, whichever shall be later. Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be calculated by dividing the approximately 5,328 rentable square feet of the Premises by the approximately 50,697 net rentable square feet of the Building, which equals 10.51%. If during any calendar year the occupancy of the rentable area of the Building is less than 95% full, then Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) will be adjusted for such calendar year at a rate of 95% occupancy.

For the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2005 and for each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Landlord shall estimate the amount the Operating Expenses shall increase for such calendar year above the Operating Expenses incurred during the Base Year. Landlord shall send to Tenant a written statement of the amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any estimated increase in Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly or annually, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such increase in Operating Expenses. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year or as soon as possible thereafter, Landlord shall send a copy of the Annual Statement to Tenant. Pursuant to the Annual Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent as owed or Landlord shall adjust Tenant’s Rent payments if Landlord owes Tenant a credit. After the Expiration Date, Landlord shall send Tenant the final Annual Statement for the Term, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent as owed or if Landlord owes Tenant a credit, then Landlord shall pay Tenant a refund. If there is a decrease in Operating Expenses in any subsequent year below Operating Expenses for the Base Year then no additional rent shall be due on account of Operating Expenses, but Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, refund or other payment that would reduce the amount of other additional rent or Base Rent owed. If this Lease expires or terminates on a day other than December 31, then Additional Rent shall be prorated on a 365-day calendar year (or 366 if a leap year). All payments or adjustments for Additional Rent shall be made within thirty (30) days after the applicable Statement is sent to Tenant.

The term “Base Year” shall mean the twelve month period beginning on the January 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2004.

The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean all direct costs incurred by Landlord in the provision of services to tenants and in the operation, repair and maintenance of the Building and Common Areas as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, including, but not limited to ad valorem real and personal property taxes, hazard and liability insurance premiums, utilities, heat, air conditioning, janitorial service, labor, materials, supplies, equipment and tools, permits, licenses, inspection fees, management fees, and common area expenses; provided, however, the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include depreciation on the Building or equipment therein, interest, executive salaries, real estate brokers’ commissions, or other expenses that do not relate to the operation of the Building. The annual statement of Operating Expenses shall be accounted for and reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (the “Annual Statement”).

ADDENDUM NUMBER FIVE

TENANT PARKING AGREEMENT

1. The parties hereby acknowledge that they have heretofore entered, or are contemporaneously herewith entering, a certain lease dated , MAY 1, 2004 (the “Lease”) for premises known as Suite(s) 101 (the “Premises”) located in the property known as Cypress Center II (the “Property”). In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Agreement, the latter shall control.

2. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and persons designated by Tenant a license to use 26 parking spaces in the designated parking area. The total number of available parking spaces from which Tenant’s allotted share is taken includes all handicapped and visitor spaces serving the Building. The Term of such license shall commence on the Commencement Date under the Lease and shall continue until the earlier to occur of the Expiration Date under the Lease, or termination of the Lease or Tenant’s abandonment of the Premises thereunder. During the Term of this license, Tenant shall pay Landlord the monthly charges established from time to time by Landlord for parking in the designated parking area, payable in advance, with Tenant’s payment of monthly Base Rent. The initial charge for such space is $ -0- , per space, per month, or a total monthly charge of $ -0- , for all such spaces. No deductions from the monthly charge shall be made for days on which the designated parking area is not used by Tenant. However, Tenant may reduce the number of parking spaces hereunder, at any time, by providing at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to Landlord, accompanied by any key card, sticker or other identification or entrance system provided by Landlord or its parking contractor; such cancellation shall be irrevocable. Tenant may, from time to time, request additional parking spaces, and if Landlord shall provide the same, such spaces shall be provided and used on a month-to-month basis, and otherwise on the foregoing terms and provisions, and such monthly parking charges as Landlord shall establish from time to time.

3. Tenant shall at all times comply with all applicable ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, laws, statutes and requirements of all federal, state, county and municipal governmental bodies or their subdivisions respecting the use of the designated parking area. Landlord reserves the right to adopt, modify and enforce reasonable Rules governing the use of the designated parking area from time to time, including any key-card, sticker or other identification or entrance system, and hours of operation. The Rules set forth hereinafter are currently in effect. Landlord may refuse to permit any person who violates such Rules to park in the designated parking area, and any violation of the Rules shall subject the car to removal from the designated parking area.

4. The parking spaces hereunder shall be provided on an unreserved “first-come, first-served” basis. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has or may arrange for the designated parking area to be operated by an independent contractor, not affiliated with Landlord. In such event, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of such independent contractor, if such contractor is reputable. Except for intentional acts or gross negligence, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage to property or any other items located in the designated parking area, nor for any personal injuries or death arising out of any matter relating to the designated parking area, and in all events, Tenant agrees to look first to its insurance carrier and to require that Tenant’s employees look first to their respective insurance carriers for payment of any losses sustained in connection with any use of the designated parking area. Tenant hereby waives on behalf of its insurance carriers all rights of subrogation against Landlord or Landlord’s agents. Landlord reserves the right to assign specific spaces, and to reserve spaces for visitors, small cars, handicapped persons and for other tenants, guests of tenants or other parties, and Tenant and persons designated by Tenant hereunder shall not park in any such assigned or reserved spaces. Landlord also reserves the right to close all or any portion of the designated parking area in order to make repairs or perform maintenance services, or to alter, modify, re-stripe or renovate the designated parking area, or if required by casualty, strike, condemnation, act of God, governmental law or requirement or other reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In such event, Landlord shall refund any prepaid parking rent hereunder, prorated on a per diem basis. If, for any other reason, Tenant or persons properly designated by Tenant, shall be denied access to the designated parking area, and Tenant or such persons shall have complied with this Agreement and this Agreement shall be in effect, Landlord’s liability shall be limited to such parking charges (excluding tickets for parking violations) incurred by Tenant or such persons in utilizing alternative parking, which amount Landlord shall pay upon presentation of documentation supporting Tenant’s claims in connection therewith.

5. If Tenant shall default under this Agreement, Landlord shall have the right to remove from the designated parking area any vehicles hereunder which shall have been involved or shall have been owned or driven by parties involved in causing such default, without liability therefor whatsoever. In addition, if Tenant shall default under this Agreement, Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Agreement on ten days’ written notice, unless within such ten day period, Tenant cures such default. If Tenant defaults with respect to the same term or condition under this


		30		[INITIALS GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

Agreement more than three times during any twelve month period, and Landlord notifies Tenant thereof promptly after each such default, the next default of such term or condition during the succeeding twelve month period, shall, at Landlord’s election, constitute an incurable default. Such cancellation right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, or provided under the Lease (all of which rights and remedies under the Lease are hereby incorporated herein, as though fully set forth). Any default by Tenant under the Lease shall be a default under this Agreement, and any default under this Agreement shall be a default under the Lease.
