premium due and owing. Tenant further agrees that if a determination is made by
the Landlord's fire insurance carrier that the Tenant is storing materials on
the premises or performing certain manufacturing processes or procedures on the
premises which increase the risk of loss, and said insurance company thereby
increases the total insurance premium for the
18
entire building over and above that premium which the Landlord would have paid
had there been no such materials stored or manufacturing procedures or
processes performed, then Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to his
proportionate share of said premium as aforesaid, the total amount of said
increased insurance premium. If the increased insurance premium is attributable
to more than on Tenant in the building, then the increase shall be apportioned
between said Tenant's in accordance with a formula to be supplied by the
Landlord's insurance carrier.
9.2 Tenant covenants and agrees to assume exclusive control of the
Demised Premises, and all tort liabilities incident to the control or leasing

or anything or facility kept or used thereon, unless such claim or damage is
caused by negligence of the Landlord or its agents, servants or employees.
Landlord shall be saved harmless by Tenant, from any liability on account of
any accident or injury to Tenant, or to any of Tenant's servants, employees,

to the Demised Premises in which event the basic monthly rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ on a
per diem thirty (30) day month basis during the period of restoration ; or (b)

EMINENT DOMAIN
--------------

under the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall thereupon terminate as of
the date possession shall be so taken.
In event that a portion of the floor area of the Demised Premises
shall be taken under the power of eminent domain and the portion not so taken
will not be reasonably adequate for the operation of Tenant's business not
withstanding Tenant's performance or
23
restoration as hereinafter provided, this Lease shall thereupon terminate as of
the date possession of said portion is taken. In the event of any taking under
the power of eminent domain which does not terminate this Lease as aforesaid,
all of the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
except, except that the basic rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that
the amount of floor area of the Demised Premises taken bears to the total floor
area of the Demised Premises immediately prior to such taking, and Landlord

Premises as is not taken to as near its former condition as the circumstances

domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Demised Premises, shall belong
to and be the property of the Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded
as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the fee of the
Demised Premises, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to any
award made to Tenant for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and
removable personal property or for damages to improvements made by Tenant with

Landlord shall make an equitable refund of any rent paid by Tenant in advance
and not yet earned.
A voluntary sale by Landlord to any public or quasi public body,
agency or person, corporate or otherwise, having the power of eminent domain,
either under threat of
24
condemnation or while condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed to
be a taking by eminent domain for the purpose of this Article XII.

ten (10) days, or (b) if Tenant shall default in the performance or observance
of any other of the convenience, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions
contained herein and on its part to be performed or observed for thirty (30)
days after written notice from the Landlord specifying such default, or (c) if
any assignment shall be made by tenant for the benefit of creditors, or Tenant
becomes involved in any proceedings as a debtor under the bankruptcy laws of
the United States in effect at the time of default, or (d) if Tenant's
leasehold interest shall be taken on execution, or (e) if the Tenant fails to
occupy the premises for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days (unless the
premises are untenantable due to fire or casualty), then and in any such cases,
Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord lawfully may, in addition to
and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant,
immediately or at any time thereafter and without prior demand or statutory
notice to quit, commence an action of Summary Process to evict tenant from the
premises, without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for
arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant. Tenant hereby waives the
statutory Notice to Quit, and Tenant covenants and agrees that in the case of
such termination, or termination under statute by reason of default on Tenant's
part, Tenant will, at the election of the Landlord:

equal to the aggregate rent herein provided for or, if the Demised Premises
have been related, sums equal to the excess of the aggregate rent herein
provided for over the sums actually
25
received by Landlord, such sums being payable as liquidated damages for the
unexpired term hereof; or
(ii) pay to Landlord as damaged a sum which at the time of such
termination, or at the time to which installments of liquidated damages shall
have been paid (if the Landlord has previously elected option number one above)
represents the amount by which the then rental value of the Demised Premises is
less than the aggregate rent herein provided forth residue of the term; or
(iii) indemnify Landlord against loss of the aggregate rent
herein provided for from the time of such termination or from the time to which
installments of liquidated damages shall have been paid (if the Landlord has
previously elected option number one above) to the expiration of the term

used herein, shall include the fixed annual rent and all additional rents and
charges payable hereunder, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by
Landlord in enforcing its rights hereunder.

shall elect not to terminate this Lease, it may relate the Premises or any
parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or Tenant, for a term or terms
which may, at Landlord's option, extend beyond the balance of the term of this
Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of such reletting Tenant shall pay
Landlord any deficiency between the aggregate rent hereby reserved and
covenanted to be paid and the net amount of the rents collected on such
reletting, as well as any expense incurred by Landlord in such reletting
including, but not limited to, attorney's fee; broker; and expenses of repairs
or damages to the Demised Premises, and putting the Demised Premises in
26
good order and preparing the same for rerental. Such deficiency shall be paid
in monthly installments upon statements rendered by Landlord to the Tenant.
13.2 Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under
this Lease and at law and in equity shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed
inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and
remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law.
13.3 Landlord shall not be deemed in default in the performance of any
of its obligations hereunder unless it shall fail to perform such obligations
and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days or such
additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, after
written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of
Landlord's alleged default. After the aforesaid time period has passed, the
Landlord shall be responsible for the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by
Tenant in enforcing this provision of the Lease.
13.4 If either party brings an action against the other party to
enforce the terms of this agreement, the losing party shall pay the prevailing
party's attorney's fee.
