Year, as determined pursuant to Section 2.3, Tenant shall pay the
deficiency within thirty (30) days of demand. If the aggregate
amount of Estimated Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant during a
given Operating Year exceeds Tenant's actual liability for such
Operating Year, the excess shall be credited against the Estimated
Additional Rent due from Tenant during the immediately subsequent
Operating Year, except that in the event that such excess is paid by

the audit.

deduction or setoff, except as may otherwise be expressly and specifically
provided in this Lease. No payment by Tenant, or receipt or acceptance by Agent

other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or letter accompanying any payment be deemed an accord or satisfaction,
and Agent or Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to its right to
recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. If

SECTION 6: SUBORDINATION; NOTICES TO SUPERIOR LESSORS AND MORTGAGEES; ATTORNMENT
---------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1 Subordination. Provided that Tenant is provided with a reasonable and
-------------
customary subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement duly executed
by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust or the landlord pursuant to any
ground lease, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to all
ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed
affecting the Premises and/or the land upon which the Premises and Property are
situated and to any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or be placed
upon the Property, land, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord's
interest or estate in any of said items, which is specified as security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or
cause to be subordinated any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such
liens to this Lease. Tenant shall execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord
and in the form reasonably requested by Landlord, any additional documents
evidencing the priority of subordination of this Lease with respect to any such
ground leases or underlying leases or any such mortgage or deed of trust.
6.2 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, from time to time and within ten
---------------------
(10) business days after request by Landlord, to deliver to Landlord, or
Landlord's designee, an estoppel certificate stating such matters pertaining to
this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Failure by Tenant to
timely execute and deliver such certificate shall constitute an acceptance of
the Premises and acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included therein
are true and correct without exception. Landlord and Tenant intend that any
statement delivered pursuant to this section may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Property or of any interest therein or
any other Landlord designee.
6.3 Transfer for Landlord. In the event of a sale or conveyance by
---------------------
Landlord of the Property, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any
future liability for any of the covenants or conditions, express or implied,
herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look
solely to Landlord's successor in interest with respect thereto and agrees to
attorn to such successor.
SECTION 7: QUIET ENJOYMENT. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, so long as
---------------
Tenant pays all of the Rent and performs all of its other obligations hereunder,
Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises by Landlord,
Agent or any other person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord. This
covenant shall be construed as a covenant running with the Property and is not a
personal covenant of Landlord.
SECTION 8: ASSIGNMENT SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING
------------------------------------
8.1 Prohibition. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease and the Rent due
-----------
under this Lease have been agreed to by Landlord in reliance upon Tenant's
reputation and creditworthiness and upon the continued operation of the Premises
by Tenant for the particular use set forth in Section 4 above; therefore, Tenant
shall not, whether voluntarily, or by operation of law, or otherwise: (a) assign
or otherwise transfer this Lease; (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof,
or allow the same to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant; or (c)
mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Premises,
or any part thereof, in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any purported assignment, mortgage, transfer,
pledge or sublease made without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be
absolutely null and void. No assignment of this Lease shall be effective and
valid unless and until the assignee executes and delivers to Landlord any and
all documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence
assignee's assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder Any consent by
Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease or mortgage shall not constitute
consent or approval of any subsequent assignment, sublease or mortgage, and
Landlord's written approval shall be required in all such instances. Any consent
by Landlord to any assignment or sublease shall not be deemed to release Tenant
from its obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully liable for
performance of all obligations under this Lease.
8.2 Rights of Landlord. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises (or
------------------
any part thereof) are sublet or used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant,
whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord or Agent may (without
prejudice to, or waiver of its rights), collect Rent from the assignee,
subtenant or occupant. Landlord or Agent may apply the net amount collected to
the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section 8.
With respect to the allocable portion of the Premises sublet, in the event that
the total rent and any other considerations received under any sublease by
Tenant is greater than the total Rent required to be paid, from time to time,
under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the net
excess as received from any subtenant after deducting the reasonable expenses
and commissions incurred by Tenant in subleasing the Premises, and such amount
shall be deemed a component of the Additional Rent.
8.3 Permitted Transfers. The provisions of Section 8.1(a) shall apply to
-------------------
a transfer of a majority of the voting stock of Tenant or to any other change in
voting control of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation), or to a transfer of a
majority of the general partnership interests in Tenant or managerial control of
Tenant (if Tenant is a partnership), or to any comparable transaction involving
any other form of business entity, whether effectuated in one (1) or more
transactions, as if such transfer were an assignment of this Lease; but said
provisions shall not apply to such a transfer, provided, in any of such events,
the successor to Tenant (or any party remaining liable for the obligations of
Tenant hereunder) (i) has a net worth at least equal to the net worth of Tenant
as of the Commencement Date or (ii) remains a corporation which continues to own
all, or substantially all, of Tenant's assets, or (iii) is a corporation or
entity to which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets were transferred,
provided that the surviving corporation or entity agrees in writing to be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (iv) is capable of
satisfying Tenant's obligations hereunder, in Landlord's reasonable judgment.
Any such permitted transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord any and all
documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence assignee's
assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder.
SECTION 9: COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
--------------------
9.1 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall, at its sole expense (regardless
--------------------
of the cost thereof), comply with all local, state and federal laws, rules,
regulations and requirements now or hereafter in force and all judicial and
administrative decisions pertaining thereto (collectively, "Laws") pertaining to
the Premises or Tenant's use thereof, including, without limitation, any and all
laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) or which
otherwise deal with or relate to air or water quality, air emissions, soil or
ground conditions or other environmental matters of any kind (collectively,
"Environmental Laws") and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.
ss.12101-12213, whether or not any of the foregoing were in effect at the time
of the execution of this Lease. If any license or permit is required for the
conduct of Tenant's business in the Premises, Tenant, at its expense, shall
procure such license prior to the Commencement Date, and shall maintain in good
standing such license or permit. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of
any written notice it receives of the alleged violation of any law or
requirement of any governmental or administrative authority with respect to the
Premises or the use or occupation thereof. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding
against Tenant, whether Landlord is a party thereto or not, that any such Law
pertaining to the Premises has been violated, shall be conclusive of that fact
as between Landlord and Tenant.
9.2 Hazardous Materials. If during the Term (or any extension thereof) any
-------------------
Hazardous Material (defined below) is generated, transported, stored, used,
treated or disposed of at, to, from, on or in the Premises: (i) Tenant shall, at
its own cost, at all times comply (and cause all others to comply) with all laws

limited to, all Environmental Laws, and Tenant shall further, at its own cost,
obtain and maintain in full force and effect at all times all permits and other
approvals required in connection therewith; (ii) Tenant shall promptly provide
Landlord or Agent with complete copies of all communications, permits or
agreements with, from or issued by any governmental authority or agency
(federal, state or local) or any private entity relating in any way to the

in the Premises or any portion of the Property, or the generation,
transportation, storage, use, treatment, or disposal at, on, in or from the
Premises, of any Hazardous Materials; (iii) Landlord, Agent and their respective
agents and employees shall have the right to enter the Premises upon reasonable
notice and/or conduct appropriate tests for the purposes of ascertaining Tenant
compliance with all applicable laws (including Environmental Laws), rules or
permits relating in any way to the generation, transport, storage, use,
treatment, disposal or presence of Hazardous Materials on, at, in or from the
Premises, the Property or any portion thereof, and (iv) upon reasonable written
request by Landlord or Agent, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the results of
appropriate tests of air, water or soil to demonstrate that Tenant complies with
all applicable laws, rules or permits relating in any way to the generation,
transport, storage, use, treatment, disposal or presence of Hazardous Materials
on, at, in or from the Property or any portion thereof. This Section 9.2 does
not authorize the generation, transportation, storage, use, treatment or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials at, to, from, on or in the Premises in
contravention of this Section 9. Tenant covenants to investigate, clean up and
otherwise remediate any release of Hazardous Materials caused, contributed to or
created by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties at its sole expense. Such
investigation and remediation shall be performed only after Tenant has obtained
Landlord's prior written consent; provided, however, that Tenant shall be
entitled to respond immediately to an emergency without first obtaining such
consent. All remediation shall be performed in strict compliance with
Environmental Laws and to the satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall be liable
for any and all conditions covered hereby, and for all costs relating thereto,
which were caused or created by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties. Tenant shall
not be liable for any conditions covered hereunder resulting from Landlord's
actions or those of Landlord's Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section
17.2.2) or the other former, current, or future tenants on the Property. Tenant
shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other
compromise with respect to any claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any
way connected to the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent
and affording Landlord the reasonable opportunity to participate in any such
proceedings. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any
waste, material or substance (whether in the form of liquids, solids or gases,
and whether or not air-borne) which is or may be deemed to be or include a
pesticide, petroleum, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyl, radioactive material,
urea formaldehyde or any other
pollutant or contaminant which is or may be deemed to be hazardous, toxic,

increased; (d) the Alterations have no adverse effect on other leased premises
in the Property; (e) Tenant shall have appropriate insurance coverage,
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, regarding the performance and installation
of the Alterations; (f) the Alterations shall conform with all other
requirements of this Lease; and (g) Tenant shall have provided Landlord with
reasonably detailed plans (the "Plans") for such Alterations in advance of
requesting Landlord's consent. In the event that Landlord consents to any
proposed Alterations, Landlord shall specify in writing whether the Alterations
shall be considered as real property belonging to Landlord upon termination of
the Lease, or items of Tenant's personal property which shall be removed by
Tenant upon termination of the Lease. Both parties agree that Landlord's
description of such Alterations as either real or personal property shall be
binding upon them. Additionally, before proceeding with any Alterations, Tenant
shall (i) at Tenant's expense, obtain all necessary governmental permits and
certificates for the commencement and prosecution of Alterations; (ii) submit to
Agent, for Landlord's written approval, working drawings, plans and
specifications and all permits for the work to be done and Tenant shall not
proceed with such Alterations until it has received said approval; and (iii)

compensation insurance. Such insurance policies shall satisfy the obligations
imposed under Section 10.2(a) through (d), (f), (g) and (h). After obtaining
Landlord's approval to the Alterations, Tenant shall give Landlord at least five
(5) days' prior written notice of the commencement of any Alterations at the
Premises, and Landlord may elect to record and post notices of
non-responsibility at the Premises.
11.2 Performance of Alterations - Past and Present. Tenant hereby
---------------------------------------------
represents and warrants that any Alterations previously made to the Premises by
or on Tenant's behalf, for so long as Tenant has occupied the Premises (except
for the Work Items), were done in compliance with all applicable federal, state
and local laws, ordinances, building codes and insurance requirements. To the
extent that any Alterations were not performed in this manner, Tenant shall
upgrade such Alterations so that they do conform with such requirements. Tenant
further agrees that it shall cause all future Alterations to be performed in
compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances,
building codes and insurance, and with Landlord's reasonable rules and
regulations or any other restrictions that Landlord or Agent may impose on the
Alterations. Tenant shall cause the Alterations to be diligently performed in a
good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in
quality and class to the standards for the Property established by Landlord or
Agent. Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits and certificates for final
governmental approval of the Alterations and shall provide Landlord with "as
built" plans, copies of all construction contracts, governmental permits and
certificates and proof of payment for all labor and materials, including,
without limitation, copies of paid invoices and final lien waivers.
11.3 Lien Prohibition. Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and
----------------
material furnished to the Premises in connection with the
Alterations. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics or materialmen's
liens to attach to the Premises, the Property, or Tenant's leasehold
estate. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure the satisfaction or
discharge of record of all such liens and encumbrances within thirty
(30) days after the filing thereof; or, if acceptable to Landlord,
in its reasonable determination, Tenant may procure (for Landlord's
benefit) a bond or other protection against any such lien or
encumbrance. In the event Tenant has not so performed, Landlord may,
at its option, pay and discharge such liens and Tenant shall be
responsible to reimburse Landlord, on demand and as Additional Rent
under this Lease, for all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in
Section 22.3 below, which expenses shall include reasonable fees of
attorneys of Landlord's choosing, and any costs in posting bond to
effect discharge or release of the lien as an encumbrance against
the Premises or the Property.
12.1 Landlord's Property. Subject to Section 12.2 below, all fixtures,
-------------------
machinery, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to, or built into,
the Premises at the commencement of, or during the Term, whether or not placed
there by or at the expense of Tenant, shall become and remain a part of the
Premises; shall be deemed the property of Landlord (the "Landlord's Property"),
without compensation or credit to Tenant; and shall not be removed by Tenant
unless Landlord requests their removal. Further, any personal property in the
Premises on the Commencement Date, movable or otherwise, unless installed and
paid for by Tenant, shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord and shall
not be removed by Tenant. In no event shall Tenant remove any of the following
materials or equipment without Landlord's prior written consent: any power
wiring or power panels, lighting or lighting fixtures, wall or window coverings,
carpets or other floor coverings, heaters, air conditioners or any other HVAC
equipment, fencing or security gates, or other similar building operating
equipment and decorations.
12.2 Tenant's Property. All movable non-structural partitions, business

the Property, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of movable
personal property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises (collectively, the
"Tenant's Property") shall be and shall remain the property of Tenant and may be
removed by Tenant at any tune during the Term, provided Tenant repairs or pays
the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises or to the Property resulting
from the installation and/or removal thereof. At or before the Expiration Date,
or the date of any earlier termination, Tenant, at its expense, shall remove
from the Premises all of Tenant's Property and any Alterations (except such
items thereof as Landlord shall have expressly permitted, in writing, to remain,
which property shall become the property of Landlord), and Tenant shall repair
any damage to the Premises or the Property resulting from any installation
and/or removal of Tenant's Property. Any other items of Tenant's Property that
shall remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date, or following an earlier
termination date, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been
abandoned, and in such case, such items may be retained by Landlord as its
property or be disposed of by Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute
discretion and without accountability, at Tenant's expense.
SECTION 13: REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

repairs or replacements arises directly or indirectly from (a) the performance
or existence of any Alterations, (b) the installation, use or operation of
Tenant's Property in the Premises, (c) the moving of Tenant's Property in or out
of the Property, or (d) any act, omission, misuse, or neglect of Tenant, any of
its subtenants, or others entering into the Premises by act or omission of

Tenant to any or all of the structural components of the Property and the
mechanical, electrical, sanitary, HVAC, or other systems of the Property or
Premises shall be performed by appropriately licensed contractors approved by
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All such repairs or
replacements shall be subject to the supervision and control of Landlord, and
all repairs and replacements shall be made with materials of equal or better
quality than the items being repaired or replaced.
13.1.1 If: (i) Tenant does not repair properly as required hereunder and
to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, or (ii) Landlord, in the exercise of
its reasonable discretion, determines that emergency repairs are necessary, or
(iii) repairs or replacements to the Premises are made necessary by any act or

expense, without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to
Tenant's merchandise, fixtures or other property or to Tenant's business by
reason thereof, and upon completion thereof, tenant shall reimburse Landlord
upon demand for all such costs incurred by Landlord.

load-bearing walls, roof structure and roof covering and tuckpointing of the
Property; provided, however, that (i) all costs and expenses so incurred by
Landlord to repair, replace and restore the above items which are not
depreciable over the life of the Property shall constitute Operating Expenses;
and (ii) in the event that any such repair, replacement or restoration is
necessitated by any or all of the matters set forth in Clauses 13.1(a), (b), (c)
or (d) (collectively, "Tenant Necessitated Repairs"), then Tenant shall be
required to reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses that Landlord incurs
in order to perform such Tenant Necessitated Repairs, and such reimbursement
shall be paid, in full, within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery of demand

necessary by reason of (i) accidents, emergencies, strikes, or the making of
repairs or changes which Landlord or Agent in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ necessary or (ii)

understood and agreed that Landlord or Agent shall have no liability or
responsibility for a cessation of services to the Premises or to the Property
that occurs as a result of causes beyond Landlord's or Agent's reasonable
control. No such interruption of service shall be deemed an eviction or
disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof,
or render Landlord or Agent liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited
to, the obligation to pay Rent; provided, however, that if any interruption of
services persists for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive business days
Tenant shall, as Tenant's sole remedy, be entitled to a proportional abatement

Premises to prospective tenants and whenever possible, Landlord shall make every
effort to provide Tenant at least 24 hours prior notice before doing so.

access cards, or both, to the Premises; and (iii) to decorate, remodel, repair,

Matters, Tenant, upon notice from any or all of Landlord. Agent or any
Superior Party (defined below), shall resist and defend such action or

foreseen or unforeseen), penalties, fines, liabilities, losses of every
kind and nature (including, without limitation, property damage,
diminution in value of Landlord's interest in the Premises or the

attorney's fees of Landlord's attorneys incurred or paid by Landlord in
connection with such litigation. The Landlord shall, at all times in any
such litigation or proceeding, be represented by attorneys of its own
selection. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or

defends and holds Tenant harmless from and against any and all
claims, losses, costs, damages (actual, but not consequential or
speculative), judgments, causes of action, administrative

intentional acts or omissions of any or all of Landlord, Agent and
any parties within the direct and sole control of either of Landlord
or Agent. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought
against Tenant, and the foregoing indemnity is applicable to such
action or proceeding, then Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall
resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably

circumstances, the liability of Landlord to Tenant shall be limited
to the interest of Landlord in the Property, and Tenant agrees to
look solely to Landlord's interest in the Property for the recovery
of any judgment or award against Landlord, it being intended that
Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or
deficiency. The provisions of this Section 17.2.2 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease.

-------------
affected, impaired or excused, and Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever

or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord's reasonable
control; or (b) any failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of
utilities furnished to the Premises, or by reason of any requirement, act or
omission of any public utility or others serving the Property, beyond Landlord's
reasonable control.

---------------------
18.1 Notification and Repair. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord
-----------------------
and Agent of (a) any fire or other casualty to the Premises or the Property, and
(b) any damage to or defect in any part or appurtenance of the Property's
sanitary, electrical, HVAC, elevator or other systems located in or passing
through the Premises or any part thereof. Subject to the provisions of Section
18.3 below, if the Property or the Premises is damaged by fire or other insured
casualty, Landlord shall repair (or cause Agent to repair) the damage and
restore and rebuild the Property and/or the Premises (except for Tenant's
Property) with reasonable dispatch after (x) notice to it of the damage or
destruction and (y) the adjustment of the insurance proceeds attributable to
such damage. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, Tenant shall not
be entitled to terminate this Lease and no damages, compensation or claim shall
be payable by Landlord for purported inconvenience, loss of business or
annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises
or of the Property pursuant to this Section. Landlord (or Agent, as the case may
be) shall use its diligent, good faith efforts to make such repair or
restoration promptly and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, but Landlord or Agent shall not be
required to do such repair or restoration work except during normal business
hours of business days.

----------------
casualty thereby causing the Premises to be inaccessible or (b) the Premises are
partially damaged by fire or other casualty, the Rent shall be proportionally
abated co the extent of any actual loss of use of the Premises by Tenant.

-----------------
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Property shall be so damaged by
fire or other casualty that (in the opinion of a reputable contractor or
architect designated by Landlord) (i) its repair or restoration requires more
than one hundred eighty (180) days or (ii) such repair or restoration requires
the expenditure of more than fifty percent (50%) of the full insurable value of
the Property immediately prior to the casualty or (iii) the damage (x) is less
than the amount stated in (ii) above, but more than fifteen percent (15%) of the
full insurable value of the Property; and (y) occurs during the last eighteen
(18) months of the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to
terminate this Lease (by so advising the other, in writing) within ten (10) days
after said contractor or architect delivers written notice of its opinion to
Landlord and Tenant, but in all events prior to the commencement of any
restoration of the Premises or the Property by Landlord. In such event, the
termination shall be effective as of the date upon which either Landlord or
Tenant, as the ease may be, receives timely written notice from the other
terminating this Lease pursuant to the preceding sentence. If neither Landlord
nor Tenant timely delivers a termination notice, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect. If (A) any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering
the Property or landlord pursuant to a ground lease encumbering the Property
(collectively, "Superior Parties") or other party entitled to the insurance
proceeds fails to make such proceeds available to Landlord in an amount
sufficient for restoration of the Premises or the Property, or (B) the issuer of
any casualty insurance policies on the Property fails to make available to
Landlord sufficient proceeds for restoration of the Premises or the Property,
then Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, terminate this Lease by giving
Tenant written notice to such effect within thirty (30) days after Landlord
receives notice from the Superior Party or insurance company, as the case may
be, that such proceeds shall not be made available, in which event the
termination of this Lease shall be effective as of the date Tenant receives
written notice from Landlord of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease. For
purposes of this Section 18.3 only, "full insurable value" shall mean
replacement cost, less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures
below grade.
SECTION 19: EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole, or any substantial portion, of the
--------------
Property is taken or condemned for any public use under any Law or by right of
eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and such taking would
prevent or materially interfere with the Permitted Use of the Premises, either
party shall have the right to terminate the Lease effective when the physical
taking of said Premises occurs. If less than a substantial portion of the
Property is so taken or condemned, or if the taking or condemnation is temporary
(regardless of the portion of the Property affected), this Lease shall not
terminate, but the Rent payable hereunder shall be proportionally abated to the
extent of any actual loss of use of the Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall be
entitled to any and all payment, income, rent or award, or any interest therein
whatsoever, which may be paid or made in connection with such a taking or
conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any
unexpired portion of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensation
specifically awarded to Tenant for loss of business or goodwill, or for its
personal property, shall be the property of Tenant.
SECTION 20: SURRENDER AND HOLDOVER
----------------------
On the last day of the Term, or upon any earlier termination of this
Lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Premises, (a) Tenant shall quit
and surrender the Premises to Landlord "broom-clean" and in good order,
condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and such damage or
destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, and
(b) Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Property therefrom, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Lease. The obligations imposed under the preceding
sentence shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease. If any
repairs are required to be performed in, to or at the Premises (pursuant to the
preceding sentence or any other applicable provision of this Lease) upon the
expiration or termination of the Term, Tenant shall cause such repairs to be
performed, to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, within ten (10) business days
after the date on which this Lease is terminated or expired. If Tenant fails to
timely comply with the preceding sentence, then Landlord shall have the right to
cause the repairs to be performed, at Tenant's expense, and all such expenses so
incurred by Landlord shall bear interest (at the rate specified in the second
sentence of ss.22.3) from the date the expense is incurred until the date paid,
in full, by Tenant (inclusive of interest). If Tenant remains in possession
after the Expiration Date hereof or after any earlier termination date of this
Lease or of Tenant's right to possession: (a) Tenant shall be deemed a
tenant-at-sufferance; (b) Tenant shall pay one hundred fifty percent (150%) of
the aggregate of the Base Rent and Additional Rent last prevailing hereunder,
and also shall pay all actual damages sustained by Landlord, directly by reason
of Tenant's remaining in possession after the expiration or termination of this
Lease; (c) there shall be no renewal or extension of this Lease by operation of
law; and (d) the tenancy-at-will may be terminated upon thirty (30) days'
written notice from Landlord. The provisions of this Section 20 shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord provided
hereunder or by law.

--------------------
Lease if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files a

twelve (12) months; or (b) if Tenant fails, whether by action or inaction, to
timely comply with, or satisfy, any or all of the obligations imposed on Tenant
under this Lease (other than the obligation to pay Rent) for a period of thirty
(30) days after Landlord's delivery to Tenant of written notice of such default
under this subsection 21.2(b); provided, however, that if the default cannot, by
its nature, be cured within such thirty (30) day period. but Tenant commences
and diligently pursues a cure of such default promptly within the initial thirty
(30) day cure period, then Landlord shall not exercise its remedies under

SECTION 22: RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
-------------------

notice requirements and cure periods set forth in Section 21.2.
22.2 Landlord's Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant under this
-------------------
Lease, Landlord, at its option, and after the proper notice and cure period, but

then owing and unpaid; (iii) all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, court costs and attorneys' reasonable fees) incurred by Landlord in
the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Lease; and (iv) any
damages provable by Landlord as a matter of law including, without limitation,
an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (x) the discounted
----------
present value (at 6% per annum) of the Base Rent provided to be paid for the
-------------------------------
remainder of the Term (measured from the effective termination date of this
Lease) and (y) the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises (determined
at the date of termination of this Lease) after deduction (from such fair market
rental value) of all of Landlord's anticipated expenses of reletting (unless
Tenant's default occurs during the last 6 months of the Term, in which case
Landlord's anticipated expenses of reletting shall not be deducted). If Landlord
elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b), then Landlord
shall at any time have the further right and remedy to rescind such election and
pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (a). For purposes of any
reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the
Premises to the extent deemed necessary by Landlord, in its sole, but
reasonable, discretion. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not
realized therefrom, to satisfy the payment, when due, of Base Rent and
Additional Rent reserved under the Lease for any monthly period (after payment
of all Landlord's reasonable expenses of reletting), then Tenant shall, in
Landlord's sole judgment, either (i) pay any such deficiency monthly or (ii) pay
such deficiency on an accelerated basis, which accelerated deficiency shall be
discounted at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum. If Landlord fails to relet
the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (x) the projected
costs of Landlord's reasonable expenses of reletting (including the anticipated
costs of repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, legal fees and brokerage
commissions) as reasonably estimated by Landlord and (y) the accelerated amount
of Base Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease for the balance of the
Term, discounted at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum. Tenant agrees that
Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time
to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder
shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not
theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. In the event Landlord
elects, pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section 22.2, to terminate Tenant's
right of possession only, without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's Property, Tenant's
signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof, as
provided in Section 20 hereof, provided, however, that such entry and possession
shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from
Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder
for the full Term, or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any
and all property that may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to
the authority of the Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may
be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of
Tenant, and in no event or circumstance shall Landlord be responsible for the
value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon
demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges
against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or
under Landlord's control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage
by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term, however terminated,
shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under
this Lease as in a ▇▇▇▇ of sale, without further payment or credit by Landlord
to Tenant.
22.3 Additional Rights of Landlord. Any and all costs, expenses and
-----------------------------
disbursements, of any kind or nature, incurred by Landlord or Agent in
connection with the enforcement of any and all of the terms and provisions of
this Lease, including reasonable attorneys' fees (through all appellate
proceedings), shall be due and payable (as Additional Rent) upon Landlord's
submission of an invoice therefor. All sums advanced by Landlord or Agent on
account of Tenant under this Section, or pursuant to any other provision of this
Lease, and all Base Rent and Additional Rent, if delinquent or not paid by
Tenant and received by Landlord when due hereunder, shall bear interest at the
rate of five percent (5%) per annum above the "prime" or "reference" or "base"
rate of interest publicly announced as such, from time to time, by The First
National Bank of Chicago, from the due date thereof until paid, and such
interest shall be and constitute Additional Rent and be due and payable upon
Landlord's or Agent's submission of an invoice therefor. The various rights,
remedies and elections of Landlord reserved, expressed or contained herein are
cumulative and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of the others or
of such other rights, remedies, options or elections as are now or may hereafter
be conferred upon Landlord by law.
22.4 Event of Bankruptcy. In addition to, and in no way limiting the other
-------------------
remedies set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant ever becomes
the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization,
composition, or other similar type proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws,
as now enacted or hereinafter amended, then: (a) "adequate assurance of future
performance" by Tenant and/or any assignee of Tenant pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
Section 365 will include (but not be limited to) payment of an additional/new
security deposit in the amount of three (3) times the then current Base Rent
payable hereunder; (b) any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned
pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed, without
further act or deed, to have assumed all of the obligations of Tenant arising
under this Lease on and after the effective date of such assignment. Any such
assignee shall, upon demand by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord an
instrument confirming such assumption of liability, (c) notwithstanding anything
in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of
Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as "Rent", shall
constitute "rent" for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code;
and (d) if this Lease is assigned to any person or entity
pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or
other considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered to Landlord or Agent
(including Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts hereunder), shall be and
remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of
Tenant or of the bankruptcy estate of Tenant. Any and all monies or other
considerations constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not
paid or delivered to Landlord or Agent shall be held in trust by Tenant or
Tenant's bankruptcy estate for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly
paid to or turned over to Landlord.
SECTION 23: BROKER
------
Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that the broker set forth in
Section 1.8(A) was the only broker to represent Tenant in the negotiation of
this Lease ("Tenant's Broker"). Landlord covenants, warrants and represents that
the broker set forth in Section 1.8(B) was the only broker to represent Landlord
in the negotiation of this Lease ("Landlord's Broker"). Landlord shall be solely
responsible for paying the commission of Landlord's Broker. Each party agrees to
and hereby does defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless against and from
any brokerage commissions or finder's fees or claims therefor by a party
claiming to have dealt with the indemnifying party and all costs, expenses and
liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, for any breach of the foregoing. The foregoing
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Lease for any reason.
SECTION 24: MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
24.1 Merger. All prior understandings and agreements between the parties
------
are merged in this Lease, which alone fully and completely expresses the
agreement of the parties. No agreement shall be effective to modify this Lease,

Attention:_________________
24.3 Non-Waiver. The failure of either party to insist, in any one or
----------
more instances, upon the strict performance of any one or more of the
obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall
not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance
of such one or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such
election, but the Lease shall continue and remain in full force and effect with
respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt and acceptance by
Landlord or Agent of Base Rent or Additional Rent with knowledge of breach by
Tenant of any obligation of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such
breach.
24.4 Legal Costs. Any party in breach or default under this Lease (the
-----------
"Defaulting Party") shall reimburse the other party (the "Nondefaulting Party")
upon demand for any legal fees and court (or other administrative proceeding)
costs or expenses that the Nondefaulting Party incurs in connection with the
breach or default, regardless whether suit is commenced or Judgment entered.
Such costs shall include legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a
settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise. Furthermore, in the event of
litigation, the court in such action shall award to the party in whose favor a
judgment is entered a reasonable sum as attorneys' fees and costs, which sum
shall be paid by the losing party. Tenant shall pay Landlord's attorneys'
reasonable fees incurred in connection with Tenant's request for Landlord's
consent under provisions of this Lease governing assignment and subletting, or
in connection with any other act which Tenant proposes to do and which requires
Landlord's consent.

-------------
Lease, this Lease shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the
successors and assignees of the parties hereto. Tenant hereby releases Landlord
named herein from any obligations of Landlord for any period subsequent to the
conveyance and transfer of Landlord's ownership interest in the Property. In the
event of such conveyance and transfer, Landlord's obligations shall thereafter
be binding upon each transferee (whether Successor Landlord or otherwise). No
obligation of Landlord shall arise under this Lease until the instrument is
signed by, and delivered to, both Landlord and Tenant.

--------------------
Notice of Lease in recordable form for recording with the Suffolk and Norfolk
County Registries of Deeds.

obligations as, by their nature or under the circumstances, can only be, or by
the provisions of this Lease, may be performed after such expiration or other
termination.
24.8 Governing Law; Construction. This Lease shall be governed by and
---------------------------

convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Lease
shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring
construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted. Each covenant,
agreement, obligation, or other provision of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant, shall be construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not
dependent on any other provision of this Lease. All terms and words used in this
Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be
deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may
require. This Lease may be executed in counterpart and, when all counterpart
documents are executed, the counterparts shall constitute a single binding
instrument.
24.9 Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease. If the time for
----
performance hereunder falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a day that is recognized as
a holiday in the state in which the Property is located, then such time shall be
deemed extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday in
said state.

-------------------
association or any other entity, it shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with
the delivery to Landlord of an executed Lease, certified resolutions of Tenant's

hereunder.

initialed) both by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed to be a part hereof and
hereby incorporated herein.

application to any Person or circumstance is held to be invalid or unenforceable

circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
will not be affected, and each provision of this Lease will be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
