(f) Tenant shall promptly comply with and conform to (i) all provisions of each insurance policy required by this Paragraph 16 and (ii) all requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Landlord, Tenant or any of the Leased Premises or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Leased Premises, even if such compliance necessitates Alterations or results in interference with the use or enjoyment of any of the Leased Premises.

(g) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this Paragraph 16 unless (i) Landlord and Lender are included therein as additional insureds, with loss payable as provided herein, and (h) such separate insurance complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 16. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to Landlord the original policies or certified copies thereof.

(h) All policies shall contain effective waivers by the carrier against all claims for insurance premiums against Landlord and shall contain full waivers of subrogation against the Landlord.

(i) All proceeds of any insurance required under Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable as follows:

Tenant shall apply the Net Award received by Tenant to restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and Tenant has given a Termination Notice.

17. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) If any Casualty to the Leased Premises occurs Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender immediate notice thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust, collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord and Lender all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers and Landlord shall have the right, if Tenant shall fail to do so, to join with Tenant therein. Any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right, if Tenant shall fail to do so, to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise. If an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or compromise any such claim or to participate with Landlord in any adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies directly to Proceeds Trustee instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby appoints Proceeds Trustee as Tenant's attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) with respect to the rights of Landlord under the second and third sentences of this Paragraph 17(a) shall be extended to a Lender that is an Institutional Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides, and Tenant is notified in writing thereof.

(b) Tenant, immediately upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant herein. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. No agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Proceeds Trustee any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant's right to any award or payment on account of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) if permitted by Law Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord's fee interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to a Lender that is an Institutional Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides and Tenant is notified in writing thereof.

(c) If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Monetary Obligations except that each quarterly installment of Basic Rent shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds paid to Proceeds Trustee pursuant to Paragraph I6(a)(v) for such quarter. Promptly after such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a) and 13(b), shall commence and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event (assuming the Leased Premises to have been in condition required by this Lease). So long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and including Major Alterations Amount shall be paid to Tenant and

Tenant shall restore the Leased Premises in accordance with the requirements of Paragraphs 12(a) and 13(b) of this Lease. Any Net Award in excess of Major Alterations Amount shall (unless such Casualty resulting in the Net Award is a Termination Event) timely be made available by Proceeds Trustee, if required by the terms of any Mortgage, to Tenant for the restoration of any of the Leased Premises pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. If any Casualty or Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.

18. Termination Events.

(a) If either (i) the entire Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking or (ii) any substantial portion (Casualty on a replacement cost basis is greater than 90% of value) of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking or all or substantially all of the Leased Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty and, in such case, Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that it will forever abandon operations at the Leased Premises (each of the events described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Termination Event"), then (x) in the case of (i) above, Tenant shall be obligated, within ninety (90) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice and (y) in the case of (ii) above, Tenant shall have the option, within ninety (90) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice or ninety (90) days after the Casualty, as the case may be, to give to Landlord written notice in the form described in Paragraph 18(b) of the Tenant's election to terminate this Lease (a "Termination Notice"). If Tenant elects under clause (y) above not to give Landlord a Termination Notice, then Tenant shall rebuild or repair the Leased Premises in accordance with Paragraphs 17 and 19.

(b) A Termination Notice shall contain (i) notice of Tenant's intention to terminate this Lease on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least sixty (60) days after the date of the Termination Notice (the "Termination Date"), (ii) a binding and irrevocable offer of Tenant to pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and (iii) if the Termination Event is an event described in Paragraph 18(a)(ii), the certification and covenants described therein and a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same.

(c) If Landlord shall not later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of a Termination Notice reject such offer by Tenant to pay to Landlord the Termination Amount pursuant to Paragraph 18(b) above by written notice to Tenant (a "Rejection"), and said Rejection shall contain the written consent of Lender to Landlord's rejection of Tenant's offer to pay the Termination Amount then this Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date; provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary Obligations and all other obligations and liabilities under this Lease which have arisen on or prior to the Termination Date (collectively, "Remaining Obligations") on the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease may terminate to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent Payment Date after the Termination Date on which Tenant has satisfied all Remaining Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii) Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest in or to any of the Leased Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be retained by Landlord.

(d) Unless Tenant shall have received a Rejection not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of a Termination Notice, Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted such offer from Tenant to pay the Termination Amount. If such offer from Tenant to pay the Termination Amount is accepted by Landlord then, on the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and all Remaining Obligations and, if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall (i) convey to Tenant the Leased Premises or the remaining portion thereof, if any, and (ii) pay to or assign to Tenant Landlord's entire interest in and to the Net Award, all in accordance with Paragraph 20.

19. Restoration.

(a) If any Net Award is in excess of the Major Alterations Amount, Proceeds Trustee shall hold the Net Award in a separate interest-bearing fund in trust (the "Restoration Fund") and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions:

(i) prior to commencement of restoration, the architects, contracts, contractors, plans and specifications and a budget for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord;

(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged;

(iii) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects' certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors' and subcontractors' sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory bringdown of title insurance and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics' and materialmen's lien claims;

(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by the president or a vice president of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work has been fully completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;

(v) Landlord may require Proceeds Trustee to retain ten percent (10%) of the restoration fund until the restoration is completed except for "punch list" items, but no retainage shall be held if ten percent (10%) is withheld until only "punch list" items remain pursuant to the applicable construction contract; and

(vi) such other reasonable conditions as Landlord or Lender, if it is an Institutional Lender, may impose.

(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens, as reasonably determined by Landlord's construction consultant, exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess shall, within ten (10) days following written request from Landlord, be paid in cash by Tenant to an escrow account established with an Institutional Lender ("Excess Restoration Escrow Account") or an irrevocable letter of credit shall be delivered to Proceeds Trustee for the amount of such excess. Any letter of credit shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "F", shall be issued by an Institutional Lender reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be in favor of Proceeds Trustee and shall permit partial draws. Amounts in the Excess Restoration Escrow Account shall be used solely to pay the cost of restoration, and any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Excess Restoration Escrow Account upon completion of restoration shall be paid to Tenant. The Net Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount deposited into the Excess Restoration Escrow Account by Tenant.

(c) If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 19(b), such sum shall be retained by Landlord or, if required by a Note or Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender.

20. Procedures Upon Purchase.

(a) If the Leased Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises that are requested by, consented to or the result of acts of Tenant and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by or in connection with any Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises which have been created by or resulted from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.

(b) Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises pursuant to any provision of this Lease (any such date the "Purchase Date"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the Relevant Amount therefor specified herein, in Federal Funds, less any credit of the Net Award received and retained by Landlord or a Lender allowed against the Relevant Amount and less the balance of any Escrow Payments and deposits made by Tenant and then held by or on behalf of Landlord which are not required to pay Monetary Obligations of Tenant, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a limited warranty deed which describes the premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 20(a), (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee any other property (or rights to any Net Award not yet received by Landlord or a Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord, not credited to Tenant against the Relevant Amount; provided, that if any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding on such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount of such Monetary Obligations; and further provided, that if any event has occurred which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, is likely to subject any Indemnitee to any liability which Tenant is required to indemnify against pursuant to Paragraph 15, then an amount shall be deducted from the Net Award which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, is sufficient to satisfy such liability, which amount shall be deposited in an escrow account with a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant pending resolution of such matter. If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding and no Net Award is payable to Tenant by Landlord or the amount of such Net Award is less than the amount of the Monetary Obligations, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Monetary Obligations. Upon the completion of such purchase, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, except any Surviving Obligations.

(c) If the completion of such purchase shall be delayed after (i) the Termination Date, in the event of a purchase pursuant to Paragraph 18 or, (ii) the date scheduled for such purchase, in the event of a purchase under any other provision of this Lease then Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase.

(d) Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord or Proceeds Trustee shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the Relevant Amount due to Landlord; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.

21. Assignment and Subletting, Prohibition Against Leasehold Financing.

(a)

(i) Tenant shall have the right, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender, with no consent of Landlord or Lender being required or necessary ("Preapproved Assignment") to assign this Lease by operation of law or otherwise to any Person ("Preapproved

Assignee") that, or whose obligations under this Lease are guaranteed by a Person ("Replacement Guarantor") that, immediately following such assignment, will have a publicly traded unsecured senior debt rating of "Baa3" or better from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors Services, Inc. or a rating of "BBB-" or better from Standard & Poor's Corporation, and in the event both such rating agencies cease to furnish such ratings, then a comparable rating by any rating agency reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Lender.

(ii) Tenant shall have the right with no consent of Landlord or Lender being required or necessary to assign this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to a Person ("Non-Preapproved Assignee") who would not be a Preapproved Assignee ("Non-Preapproved Assignment") so long as Tenant provides to Proceeds Trustee the Assignment Security Deposit no later than the date upon which such assignment shall become effective.

(iii) Tenant shall not cause or permit all or substantially all of Tenant's assets to be conveyed, transferred, assigned, sold, leased or otherwise disposed of in a single transaction or series of related transactions (a "Transfer") unless the Person to whom the Transfer is proposed to be made is a Preapproved Assignee or, if such Person is not a Preapproved Assignee, Proceeds Trustee receives, concurrently with such Transfer, the Assignment Security Deposit which shall be issued in accordance with and shall be subject to the terms of Paragraph 34 of this Lease and, in any case, this Lease is assigned to the Person to whom the Transfer is made.

(b) Tenant shall have the right, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender with no consent or approval of Landlord being required or necessary, (i) to sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises to any Person that is controlled by, in control of, or under common control with Tenant (control being defined as the ability to direct the management and policies of Tenant), and (ii) to enter into one or more subleases that demise, in the aggregate, up to but not in excess of seventy-five percent (75%) of the gross space in the building(s) of the Leased Premises with no consent or approval of Landlord being required or necessary ("Preapproved Sublet"). At any time that Tenant desires to enter into one or more subleases which result in more than seventy-five (75%) percent of the gross square footage in the building(s) of the Leased Premises being under sublease (a "Non-Preapproved Sublet") then no consent or approval of Landlord shall be required or necessary if, concurrently with the execution by Tenant of any such sublease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord with a Six Month Sublease Security Deposit.

(c) If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. Any approved sublease of the Leased Premises shall (A) be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease and any Mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises; (B) not extend beyond the then current Term minus one day (but may contain extension and renewal rights dependent upon extension of the Term); (C) terminate upon any termination of this Lease, unless Landlord elects in writing, to cause the sublessee to attorn to and recognize Landlord as the lessor under such sublease, whereupon such sublease shall continue as a direct lease between the sublessee and Landlord upon all the terms and conditions of such sublease; and (D) bind the sublessee to all covenants contained in Paragraphs 4(a), 10(f) and, with respect to each sublease of more than 75% of the gross square footage in the building(s) of the Leased Premises, 12(a) with respect to subleased premises for the sublease term to the same extent as if the sublessee were the Tenant. No sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder or the Guarantor under the Guaranty, and all such obligations of Tenant and Guarantor shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no sublease had been made. Upon the assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease in accordance with the requirements of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 21, Tenant and Guarantor shall be released from all obligations and liabilities under this Lease and the Guaranty which arise from or relate to events

that occur after the date of such assignment. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease.

(d) Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be in recordable form.

(e) As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants, conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now in existence or hereafter entered into for any or all of the Leased Premises, any and all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises, provided, however, that Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time upon notice to Tenant and any subtenants to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain the same, provided that any such rents and sums of money retained by Landlord shall be applied to scheduled payments of Basic Rent due under this Lease, and on each Basic Rent Payment Date any excess then held by Landlord or Lender shall be paid to Tenant so long as no Event of Default then exists. Tenant shall not accept any rents more than thirty (30) days in advance of the accrual thereof nor do nor permit anything to be done, the doing of which, nor omit or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will be a material breach of or default in the terms of any of the subleases.

(f) Tenant shall not have the power to mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of the Leased Premises, and any such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall be void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by Tenant and are reasonably acceptable to Landlord in order to waive Landlord's statutory lien and other rights in Tenant's equipment, machinery and other personal property.

(g) Landlord may sell or transfer the Leased Premises at any time without Tenant's consent to any third party except a Competitor (each a "Third Party Purchaser"). In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the costs, liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder. For purposes of this Paragraph 21(g), "Competitor" shall mean any specialty inorganic chemical producer engaged in chemical businesses that compete with Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries whose current businesses include: Pigments, Clay-based Additives, Wood Preservation, Water Treatments, Thermoplastic Compounds, Electronic Chemicals, Water Reclaim, and Photomasking. This restriction on a sale of the Leased Premises to a Competitor shall not apply to any purchaser of the Leased Premises, its successors and assigns at a foreclosure sale or by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

22. Events of Default.

23. Remedies and Damages upon Default.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter, to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in accordance with this Paragraph 23, subject in all events to applicable Law, without demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 22(b) and this Paragraph 23 and as required by applicable Law.

(i) (A) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises, with or without legal process, by peaceably entering the Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(i) or 23(b)(ii).

(B) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to terminate Tenant's possession of the Leased Premises but without terminating this Lease on a dated specified in such notice. Upon such date, Tenant's right of possession hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises, with or without legal process, by peaceably entering the Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(ii).

(ii) After repossession of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(ii).

(iii) Without any termination of the Lease or of Tenant's right of possession, Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic Rent then in effect) for the remainder of the then current Term to be immediately due and payable. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid and all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default (including any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall have the right to possession of the Leased Premises from the date of such receipt by Landlord to the end of

the Term, and subject to all the provisions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay all increases in Basic Rent and all Monetary Obligations that subsequently become due, except that (A) no Basic Rent which has been prepaid hereunder shall be due thereafter during the said Term and (B) Tenant shall have no option to extend or renew the Term.

(b) The following subparagraph (i) constitute liquidated damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i)(A) or 23(a)(ii), and the following subparagraph (ii) constitutes actual damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i)(B):

(i) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i)(A) but not its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i)(B) or (a)(ii) (or attempts to exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the Leased Premises) then, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default and in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all of Landlord's Costs in connection with the repossession of the Leased Premises and any attempted reletting thereof, including all reasonable brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees actually incurred and reasonably incurred, employees' expenses, costs of Alterations and expenses and preparation for reletting. The parties agree that the injury to Landlord caused by Tenant's default is difficult or impossible of accurate estimation, the parties intend to provide for damages and not a penalty and the stipulated amount represents a reasonable pre-estimate of the probable loss of Landlord.

(ii) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii), then Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of the termination of the Lease, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as actual agreed current damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(ii), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord's Costs (including the items listed in the last sentence of Paragraph 23(b)(i) hereof) incurred in connection with such repossessing and reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet the Leased Premises, such Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable by Tenant. Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in equity. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder or at law or in equity.

(d) Landlord shall not be required to mitigate any of its damages hereunder unless required to by applicable Law. If any Law shall validly limit the amount of any damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount agreed to herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount available under such Law.

(e) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of the Leased Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving Obligations.

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder and, if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose.

(g) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.

(h) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law to redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future Law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.

(i) Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies are cumulative and concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted by any exercise thereof.

24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offers, statements and other instruments or communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given and received for all purposes when delivered in person or by Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery service or five (5) business days after being deposited in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address stated on page one of this Lease or when delivery is refused.

Any such statements by the Responding Party may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, any Person whom the Requesting Party notifies the Responding Party in its request for the Certificate is an intended recipient or beneficiary of the Certificate, any Lender or their assignees and by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of any of the Leased Premises.

Upon such surrender, Tenant shall (a) remove from the Leased Premises all property which is owned by Tenant or third parties other than Landlord and (b) repair any damage caused by such removal. Property not so removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Leased Premises. The cost of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Leased Premises caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

Tenant shall have no obligation to or with respect to any Lender until Tenant receives notice of such Lender's address for notices and copies of relevant documents.

32. Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment. This Lease and Tenant's interest hereunder shall be subordinate to any Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that any such Mortgage or other security instrument (or a separate instrument in recordable form duly executed by the holder of any such Mortgage or other security instrument and delivered to Tenant) shall provide for the recognition of this Lease and all Tenant's rights hereunder unless and until an Event of Default exists or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to any applicable provision hereof. Any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement may require Tenant to confirm that (a) Lender and its assigns will not be liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord and (b) Lender and its assigns will not be subject to any counterclaim, demand or offset which Tenant may have against Landlord.

33. Tax Treatment; Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each shall treat this transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall report this transaction as a Lease for Federal income tax purposes.

payments as rent expense under Section 162 of the Code, and (3) Landlord reporting the Rent payments as rental income.

Each Security Deposit shall be, at the election of Tenant, either cash ("Cash Security Deposit") or an irrevocable letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "F" and shall be issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant shall have the right, upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord, to substitute any Letter of Credit then held by Landlord or Lender for another letter of credit which complies with the requirements of this Paragraph 34(a) or a Cash Security Deposit for any Letter of Credit. The Security Deposit shall remain in full force and effect for the balance of the Term as security for the payment by Tenant of the Rent and all other charges or payments to be paid hereunder and the performance of the covenants and obligations contained herein, and the Letter of Credit shall be renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to any expiration thereof. If Tenant fails to renew any Letter of Credit by such date, time being of the essence, Proceeds Trustee shall have the right at any time after the thirtieth (30th) day before such expiration date to draw on such Letter of Credit and to deposit the proceeds of such the Letter of Credit as a Cash Security Deposit in any account for the benefit of Proceeds Trustee. The Cash Security Deposit shall not be commingled with other funds of Proceeds Trustee or other Persons and, as long as no Event of Default exists, interest at day-in day-out passbook rate thereon shall be due and payable to Tenant on a quarterly basis.

(b) If at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to draw on the Letter of Credit or to withdraw the Cash Security Deposit from the above-described account and to apply the proceeds in payment of (i) any Rent or other charges for the payment of which Tenant shall be in default, (ii) prepaid Basic Rent, (iii) any expense incurred by Landlord in curing any default of Tenant as permitted herein, and/or (iv) any other sums due to Landlord in connection with any default or the curing thereof, including, without limitation, any damages incurred by Landlord by reason of such default as permitted herein, including any rights of Landlord under Paragraph 23 or to do any combination of the foregoing, all in such order or priority as Landlord shall so determine in its sole discretion and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such proceeds shall not constitute assets or funds of Tenant or its estate, or be deemed to be held in trust for Tenant, but shall be, for all purposes, the property of Landlord (or Lender, to the extent assigned). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that (1) Landlord's application of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit or Cash Security Deposit towards the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or the reduction of any damages due Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 23 of this Lease, constitutes a fair and reasonable use of such proceeds, and (2) the application of such proceeds by Landlord towards the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums due under this Lease shall not constitute a cure by Tenant of the applicable default provided that an Event of Default shall not exist if Tenant restores the Security Deposit to its full amount within five (5) days and in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 34, so that the original amount of the Security Deposit shall be again on deposit with Landlord.

(c) At the expiration of the Term and so long as no Event of Default exists any Letter of Credit or the Cash Security Deposit, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant.

(d) Landlord shall have the right to designate a Proceeds Trustee as the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or the Cash Security Deposit during the term of the applicable Loan, and such Proceeds

Trustee shall have all of the rights and obligations of Landlord under this Paragraph 34. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute such agreements, consents and acknowledgments as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time to change the holder of the Security Deposit as hereinabove provided.

35. Restriction on Landlord's Loan. Landlord shall not encumber the Leased Premises with a Loan the principal amount of which is greater than 90% of the purchase price paid by such Landlord for the Leased Premises, provided that this limitation is not intended to and shall not restrict the right of Landlord to grant a Mortgage as security for a credit facility to Landlord's parent.

(i) All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein as if fully set forth.

(j) This Lease shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State.

BASIC RENT PAYMENTS

1. Basic Rent. Subject to the adjustments provided for in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below, Basic Rent payable in respect of the Term shall be $1,275,000 per annum, payable quarterly in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, in equal installments of $318,750 each. Pro rata Basic Rent for the period from June 27, 2002 through the twenty-fourth day of July, 2002 shall be paid on the date hereof, and pro rata Basic Rent for the period from the twenty-fifth day of the last month of the Term through the last day of the last month of the Term shall be paid with the final quarterly installment of Basic Rent.

2. CPI Adjustments to Basic Rent. The Basic Rent shall be subject to adjustment, in the manner hereinafter set forth, for increases in the index known as United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All Items, (1982-84=100) ("CPI") or the successor index that most closely approximates the CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor or comparable successor index, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing in New York City. Any decision or award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will the Basic Rent as adjusted by the CPI adjustment be less than the Basic Rent in effect for the year period immediately preceding such adjustment.

3. Effective Dates of CPI Adjustments. Basic Rent shall not be adjusted to reflect changes in the CPI until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Basic Rent Payment Date on which the first full quarterly installment of Basic Rent shall be due and payable (the "First Full Basic Rent Payment Date"). As of the third (3^rd) anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date and on each anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter for the balance of the Term (including any exercised Renewal Term) (each such date a "Basic Rent Adjustment Date"), Basic Rent shall be adjusted to reflect increases in the CPI (but limited as provided in Paragraph 4 below) during the most recent one (1) year period immediately preceding each Basic Rent Adjustment Date.

4. Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.

(a) As of each Basic Rent Adjustment Date when the average CPI determined in clause (i) below exceeds the Beginning CPI (as defined in this Paragraph 4(a)), the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the average CPI for the three (3) most recent calendar months (the "Rent CIP Prior Months") ending prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date for which the CPI has been published on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day preceding such Basic Rent Adjustment Date and (ii) the Beginning CPI, and the denominator of which shall be the Beginning CPI. An amount equal to the lesser of the product of such multiplication or three percent (3%) of the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to each Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be added to the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Basic Rent Adjustment Date. As used herein, "Beginning CPI" shall mean the average CPI for the three (3) calendar months corresponding to the Rent CPI Prior Months, but occurring one (1) year earlier with respect to each Basic Rent Adjustment. If the average CPI determined in clause (i) is the same or less than the Beginning CPI, the Basic Rent will remain the same for the ensuing one (1) year period.

(b) Effective as of a given Basic Rent Adjustment Date, Basic Rent payable under this Lease until the next succeeding Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Basic Rent in effect after the adjustment provided for as of such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.

EXHIBIT D-1

(c) Notice of the new annual Basic Rent shall be delivered to Tenant on or before the twentieth (20^th) day preceding each Basic Rent Adjustment Date, but any failure to do so by Landlord shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's rights to collect such sums. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days after a notice of the new annual Basic Rent is delivered to Tenant, all amounts due from Tenant, but unpaid, because the stated amount as set forth above was not delivered to Tenant at least twenty (20) days preceding the Basic Rent Adjustment Date in question.
