Additionally, Landlord shall perform the improvements to the common areas, as set forth and in accordance with Section 21.17 below and shall replace the roof to the Leased Premises promptly upon notification by Tenant to Landlord of completion of all Tenant’s Work which impacts the roof.

2.2 Tenant’s Work

Upon delivery of possession to Tenant, Tenant agrees to make the improvements to the Leased Premises described in this Section 2.2 (the “Tenant’s Work”). In consideration for the construction allowance payable by Landlord pursuant to this Section 2.2, Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that it will spend no less than Four Million Four Hundred Thirty-three Thousand One Hundred Thirty Dollars ($4,433,130.00) for Tenant’s Work. In the event Tenant spends less than said amount, Landlord and Tenant agree to equally share in said savings. The Tenant’s Work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner under a build to suit contract in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by Ford Architects and engineered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Engineering, and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (upon approval, the “Approved Plans”). Tenant’s Work shall comply with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and code requirements. Any structural or exterior changes to the Approved

Plans by Tenant shall be approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be in compliance with all applicable building codes, laws ordinances and regulations.

Landlord shall pay Tenant Four Million Four Hundred Thirty-three Thousand and One Hundred and Thirty Dollars ($4,433,130.00) (the “Tenant Reimbursement”), as payment for all costs incurred by or on behalf of Tenant for furnishing, constructing and installing the work comprising Tenant’s Work (“Tenant Improvements”). The Tenant Reimbursement shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant in twenty-five percent (25%) installments as portions of Tenant’s Work is completed and billed to Tenant by its contractor, as approved by Tenant’s architect. Upon Tenant receiving an invoice from its contractor evidencing completion of twenty-five percent (25%), fifty percent (50%) and seventy-five percent (75%) of the Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall submit: (i) a request for payment; and (ii) a copy of such invoice to Landlord, and Landlord shall pay Tenant twenty-five percent (25%) of the Tenant Reimbursement within ten (10) days of receipt thereof. The final twenty-five percent (25%) installment shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) days of the later of: (i) receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s request for payment; (ii) substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements; (iii) Tenant opening for business in the Leased Premises; (iv) Tenant providing to Landlord a lien waiver from Tenant’s general contractor; and (v) Tenant paying the first installment of rent due hereunder. In the event Landlord does not timely pay any installment of the Tenant Reimbursement to Tenant, (a) Landlord shall pay to Tenant interest on such unpaid amounts at a rate of interest equal to four percent (4%) over the prime rate in effect from time to time as established by National City Bank, Columbus, Ohio and (b) Tenant shall have the right to deduct any and all such amounts owed Tenant against payments of rent thereafter due Landlord until such time as Tenant has been credited the full amount of the Tenant Reimbursement plus applicable interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the Tenant Improvements shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, be the property of Landlord. Tenant shall not acquire any interest, equitable or otherwise, in any Tenant Improvements. Tenant agrees that the Tenant Reimbursement shall be used for improvements to the Leased Premises, which shall be affixed to the Real Estate and the improvements constructed thereon, and shall not be used for the purchase of Tenant’s personal property.

III. PURPOSE

3.1 Purpose.

The Leased Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Purpose set forth in Section 1.6(a) hereof, except that no such use shall (a) violate any certificate of occupancy or law, ordinance or other governmental regulation in effect from time to time affecting the Leased Premises or the use thereof, including all recorded instruments of record, (b) cause injury to the improvements, (c) cause the value or usefulness of the Real Estate or any part thereof to diminish, (d) constitute a public or private nuisance or waste, (e) authorize Tenant to use, treat, store or dispose of hazardous or toxic materials on the Real Estate, or (f) render the insurance on the Leased Premises void or the insurance risk more hazardous, provided, however, that if Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises does make the insurance risk more hazardous then, without prejudice to any other remedy of Landlord for such breach, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the amount by which Landlord’s insurance premiums are increased as a result of such use, which payment shall be in addition to the payment by Tenant for premiums as provided in Section 6.3 hereof. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Leased Premises contrary to any statute, rule, order, ordinance, requirement or regulation applicable thereto.

3.2 Use of Real Estate.

Tenant acknowledges that the Real Estate is adjacent to the Columbus International Airport (the “Airport”) and that portions of the Real Estate may be used for storage, repair, loading and unloading of airplanes and other services associated with the Airport and airplanes. To the extent applicable to either Landlord or Tenant the parties agree to the

following: (i) Tenant’s operations as a general office at the Real Estate and the Airport, including the hiring of employees or contractors, shall be in full compliance with all security, safety and other regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration, United States State Department or other applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Real Estate and/or the Airport; (ii) Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that, as of the date of execution hereof, Landlord is not aware of any such regulations or restrictions which would be violated by Tenant’s operation of the Leased Premises as a general office and Landlord further agrees that it shall promptly advise Tenant at such time as Landlord becomes aware of any such regulations or restrictions; (iii) Tenant further acknowledges that these uses generate substantial noise and other emissions and covenants that Tenant will not interfere with these uses of the Real Estate; (iv) Tenant consents to the above uses of the Real Estate and agrees that such use shall not interfere with its use of the Leased Premises nor shall Tenant permit any use of the Leased Premises which shall be inconsistent with the use of the Real Estate and the adjacent Airport; and (v) Tenant acknowledges and consents to any expansion of the Airport, including without limitation one which includes a major runway, or a portion thereof, between the current Airport runways and the Leased Premises.

IV. RENT

4.1 Annual Rent.

Beginning with the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, without demand, annual rent as set forth in Section 1.6(b) hereof payable monthly in advance on or before the first day of each month during the term of this Lease in installments as set forth in said Section. Rent shall be paid to or upon the order of Payee at the Payee’s Address. Landlord shall have the right to change the Payee or the Payee’s Address by giving written notice thereof to Tenant. All payments of rent shall be made in lawful money of the United States without any deduction, set off, discount or abatement whatsoever except as specifically set forth herein.

4.2 Interest on Late Payments.

Each and every installment of rent and each and every payment of other charges hereunder which shall not be paid when due and not paid within five (5) days after notice thereof shall bear interest at the highest rate then payable by Tenant in the state in which the Leased Premises are located or, in the absence of such a maximum rate, at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in excess of the announced prime rate of interest of National City Bank, Columbus, in effect on the due date of such installment(s), from the date when the same is payable under the terms of this Lease until the same shall be paid; provided that payment of such interest shall not excuse default in the payment of rent or other sums due hereunder.

4.3 Additional Rent.

Beginning with the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent the sum of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Impositions (defined in Section 5.1), Landlord’s insurance (pursuant to Article 6), Common Area utility charges (pursuant to Section 12.1, below), and Landlord’s Maintenance Costs (defined in Section 14.2). The amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to Landlord each month on the dates and at the place specified for the payment of annual rent, unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of a different address therefor.

During the Term of this Lease, including any and all Option Terms, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s Maintenance Costs (defined in Section 14.2) (excluding costs of snow and ice removal and Common Area utility charges) shall not increase by more than ten percent (10%) in any Lease Year over the previous Lease Year.

V. IMPOSITIONS

5.1 Payment by Tenant.

	(a)		Definition of Impositions. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent for the Leased Premises, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of all (i) taxes and assessments, general and special, water rates and all other impositions, ordinary and extraordinary, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which are payable during the term of this Lease upon the Real Estate or any part thereof or upon any improvements at any time situated thereon, (ii) any assessment by any association of owners of property in the complex of which the Real Estate is a part which is payable during the term of this Lease and (iii) all fees and costs incurred by Landlord during the Lease term for the purpose of contesting or protesting tax assessments or rates (“Impositions”). For the purpose of determining the amount of Impositions payable by Landlord during any year, there shall be added and or credited, as applicable, to the amount of Impositions paid or payable by Landlord an amount equal to any tax abatements or comparable credits allowed to Landlord by the City of Columbus or other applicable governmental jurisdiction for such year. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such Impositions shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant for the first Lease Year and as of the expiration date of the Lease term for the last year of the Lease term (on the basis of Landlord’s reasonable estimate thereof). Landlord may take the benefit of the provisions of any statute or ordinance permitting any assessment to be paid over a period of years, in which event Tenant shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share of only those installments paid during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof. There shall be excluded from Impositions all federal income taxes, state and local net income taxes, federal excess profit taxes, franchise, capital stock and federal or state estate or inheritance taxes of Landlord.

	(b)		Calculation of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Impositions. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such Impositions shall be determined by (i) multiplying Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (as set forth in Section 1.3 hereof) by the amount of Impositions (as defined in Section 5.1(a) above) paid or payable in a Lease Year and (ii) subtracting from the result thereof the amount of any tax abatement or comparable credit specifically applicable to the Leased Premises. If any such tax abatement or other credit includes the Leased Premises and other portions of the Real Estate, the amount of such abatement or credit to be subtracted in (ii) above shall be the amount of such tax abatement or credit, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of leasable space in the Leased Premises and the denominator of which shall be the number of square feet of leasable space in the portion of the Real Estate for which the tax abatement or credit was given. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Impositions shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord bills Tenant therefore (but in no event earlier than twenty-one (21) days prior to the due date thereof) or, at Landlord’s election in monthly installments in amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of all Impositions shall be computed by Landlord within ninety (90) days after the end of each accounting year (which Landlord may change from time to time). Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the actual Impositions incurred during such accounting year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof. To the extent Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such costs is greater than the sums paid by Tenant for such year, the difference shall be billed to and paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of said ▇▇▇▇. Any excess payment made by Tenant shall be credited against future installments of such Pro Rata Share of Impositions. Tenant’s estimated monthly Pro Rata Share of Impositions may thereafter be adjusted by written notice from Landlord. Landlord estimates Tenant’s initial Pro Rata Share of the Impositions to be Twenty-five cents ($0.25) per square foot per annum.

(c)

Real Estate Tax Appeals. Tenant shall have the right to compel Landlord to appeal Impositions if Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant has made a good faith determination that Impositions exceed an amount which Tenant believes are consistent with the fair market value of the Real Estate. In the event Landlord receives such notice, Landlord shall contest such Impositions by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The cost to contest the Impositions shall be added to Impositions and Tenant shall pay its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall receive a pro rata share of any reduction in Impositions based upon the leasable square footage of those tenant’s leasing portions of the Real Estate which is the subject of such appeal of Impositions, prorated to reflect the term of the Lease.

5.2 Alternative Taxes.

If at any time during the term of this Lease the method of taxation prevailing at the commencement of the term hereof shall be altered so that any new tax, assessment, levy, imposition, or charge, or any part thereof, shall be measured by or be based in whole or in part upon the Lease, or the Leased Premises, or the Real Estate, or the rent, additional rent or other income therefrom and shall be imposed upon Landlord, in lieu of or in substitution for previously existing Impositions, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, or the part thereof, to the extent that they are so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Impositions” for the purpose hereof, to the extent that such Impositions would be payable if the Real Estate were the only property of Landlord subject to such Impositions, and Tenant shall pay its Pro Rata Share of Impositions as so defined.

5.3 Other Taxes.

Tenant further covenants and agrees to pay promptly when due all taxes assessed against Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment and stock-in trade placed in or on the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease.

VI. RISK ALLOCATION AND INSURANCE

6.1 Allocation of Risks.

The parties desire, to the extent permitted by law, to allocate certain risks of personal injury, bodily injury or property damage, and risks of loss of real or personal property by reason of fire, explosion or other casualty, and to provide for the responsibility for insuring those risks. It is the intent of the parties that, to the extent any event is required by the terms hereof to be covered by insurance, any loss, cost, damage or expense, including, without limitation, the expense of defense against claims or suits, be covered by insurance, without regard to the fault of Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, contractors and customers (“Tenant Protected Parties”), and without regard to the fault of Landlord, Agent, their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors (“Landlord Protected Parties”).

	(a)		Tenant shall bear the risk of bodily injury, personal injury or death, or damage to property, or to third persons, occasioned by events occurring within, on or about the Leased Premises, regardless of the party at fault, if any. Said risks shall be insured as provided in Section 6.2(a).

	(b)		Landlord shall bear the risk of bodily injury, personal injury, or death or damage to property, or to third persons, occasioned by events occurring on or about the Real Estate (other than premises leased to tenants), regardless of the party at fault, if any; provided, however, Landlord shall not bear the risk for the Ramp Area, including but not limited to all aircraft thereon and the loading dock area, as such area is designated on the Tenant Parking Area Plan (defined in Section 21.17 below). Said risk shall be insured against as provided in Section 6.3(a).

	(c)		Tenant shall bear the risk of bodily injury, personal injury, or death or damage to property, or to third persons, occasioned by any event occurring on or about the Ramp Area and the loading dock area as designated on the Tenant Parking Area Plan (defined in Section 21.17 below) provided that as to the Ramp Area only, such event is occasioned by the wrongful act or omission of any of Tenant Protected Parties.

Said insurance shall contain an endorsement waiving the insurer’s right of subrogation against any Tenant Protected Party.

	(c)		Landlord’s business income, protecting Landlord from loss of rents and other charges during the period while the Leased Premises are untenantable due to fire or other casualty (for the period reasonably determined by Landlord).

	(d)		Flood or earthquake insurance whenever, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, such protection is necessary and it is available at commercially reasonable cost.

Tenant shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share of only those annual premiums which relate to insurance coverage during the term of this Lease. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such premiums shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in monthly installments in amounts estimated by Landlord. Tenant’s proportionate share of all insurance costs shall be computed by Landlord within ninety (90) days after the end of each accounting year (which Landlord may change from time to time). Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the actual insurance costs incurred during such accounting year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof. To the extent Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such costs is greater than the sums paid by Tenant for such year, the difference shall be billed to and paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of said ▇▇▇▇.

In connection with the forgoing, Tenant shall certify to Landlord the exact amount of the cost of Tenant’s Work (exclusive of Tenant’s construction allowance) amortized over the original Term of the Lease and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the unamortized portion remaining thereof (subject to the foregoing limitations) upon receiving the Award. Tenant shall continue to pay rent and other charges hereunder until the Lease term is terminated and any Impositions and premiums prepaid by Tenant, or which accrue prior to the termination, shall be adjusted between the parties.

8.2 Partial Taking.

If only a part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken or condemned, but the Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, Landlord shall repair and restore the Leased Premises and all improvements thereon, to the extent reasonably practicable, provided that Landlord shall not hereby be required to expend for repair and restoration any sum in excess of the Award.

The rent shall be equitably abated following delivery of possession to the condemning body. If the portion of the building within which the Leased Premises are located shall be so taken or condemned in a material or substantial way, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such taking.

In addition, during the Term of this Lease, including any and all Option Terms, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Maintenance Costs (excluding costs of snow and ice removal and Common Area utility charges) shall not increase by more than ten percent (10%) in any Lease Year over the previous Lease Year.

XV. QUIET ENJOYMENT

15.1 Quiet Enjoyment.

So long as Tenant is not in default under the covenants and agreements of this Lease, Tenant’s quiet and peaceable enjoyment of the Leased Premises shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Landlord or by any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.

XVI. SUBORDINATION OR SUPERIORITY

16.1 Subordination or Superiority.

	(a)		This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or mortgages now placed upon Landlord’s interest in the Real Estate. Landlord shall use good faith efforts to obtain a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement for Tenant from its existing lender, Deutsche Bank, on or before the Rent Commencement Date. The parties agree that the non-disturbance agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D is commercially reasonable. In the event Tenant has not received a fully executed commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from Deutsche Bank within six (6) months from the date of this Lease, Tenant’s obligation to pay Annual Rent (but not Additional Rent) hereunder shall be deferred commencing upon the expiration of such six (6) month period until such time as said non-disturbance agreement is executed by Deutsche Bank and delivered to Tenant.

	(b)		Landlord reserves the right to subject and subordinate this Lease at all times to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or mortgages hereafter placed upon Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises; provided, however, that no default by Landlord, under any deed of trust, mortgage or mortgages, shall affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease, so long as Tenant performs the obligations imposed upon it hereunder and is not in default hereunder, and Tenant attorns to the holder of such deed of trust or mortgage, its assignee or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale. Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable instrument presented to Tenant for the purpose of effecting such subordination so long as the subordination is substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D. It is a condition, however, to the subordination and lien provisions herein provided, that Landlord shall procure from any such mortgagee an agreement in writing, which shall be delivered to Tenant or contained in the aforesaid subordination agreement, providing in substance that so long as Tenant shall faithfully discharge the obligations on its part to be kept and performed under the terms of this Lease and is not in default under the terms hereof, its tenancy will not be disturbed nor this Lease affected by any default under such mortgage.

	(c)		Wherever notice is required to be given to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Tenant will likewise give such notice to any mortgagee of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises upon notice of such mortgagee’s name and address from Landlord. Furthermore, such mortgagee shall have the same rights to cure any default on the part of Landlord that Landlord would have had.

XVII. SURRENDER

17.1 Surrender.

Upon the termination of this Lease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises, Tenant will at once surrender and deliver up the Leased Premises, together with all improvements thereon, to Landlord, in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty excepted; conditions existing because of Tenant’s failure to perform maintenance, repairs or replacements as required herein, or because of Tenant’s particular use of the Leased Premises (even if permitted pursuant to Section 1.5(a) hereof), shall not be deemed “reasonable wear and tear.” Tenant shall deliver to Agent all keys to all doors therein. As used herein, the term “improvements” shall include, without limitation, all plumbing, lighting, electrical, heating, cooling and ventilating fixtures and equipment, and all Alterations (as said term is defined in Section 9.3 hereof) whether or not permitted under said Section 9.3. All alterations, including the Alterations, improvements and additions, temporary or permanent, made in or upon the Leased Premises by Tenant, or made by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf, shall become Landlord’s property immediately upon

installation thereof and shall remain upon the Leased Premises on any such termination without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any alterations, including the Alterations, and to restore the Leased Premises to their condition prior to the making of any such alterations, repairing any damage occasioned by such removal and restoration, unless Landlord has consented to the installation thereof, in which event no such removal may be required by Landlord. For purposes of this Section 17.1, Tenant’s Work is hereby deemed approved by Landlord. If Landlord requires removal of any alterations and Tenant does not make such removal in accordance with this Section at the time of such termination, or within thirty (30) days after such request, whichever is later, Landlord may remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby), and dispose thereof or, at its election, deliver the same to any other place of business of Tenant or warehouse the same. Tenant shall pay the reasonable costs of such removal, repair, delivery and warehousing to Landlord on demand.

17.2 Removal of Tenant’s Property.

Upon the termination of this Lease by lapse of time, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s articles of personal property incident to Tenant’s business (“Trade Fixtures”); provided, however, that Tenant shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises which may result from such removal, and shall restore the Leased Premises to the same condition as prior to the installation thereof. If Tenant does not remove Tenant’s Trade Fixtures from the Leased Premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Landlord, may, at its option, remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby) and dispose thereof or deliver the same to any other place of business of Tenant or warehouse the same, and Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal, repair, delivery and warehousing to Landlord on demand, or Landlord may treat such Trade Fixtures as having been conveyed to Landlord with this Lease as a ▇▇▇▇ of sale, without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

17.3 Holding Over.

Tenant shall have no right to occupy the Leased Premises or any portion thereof after the expiration of the Lease or after termination of the Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession pursuant to Section 19.2 hereof. In the event Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant holds over, Landlord may exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity to recover possession of the Leased Premises. For each month or partial month that Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant remains in occupancy of all or any portion of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease or after termination of the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall pay monthly rental at a rate equal to 125% of the rate of rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder immediately prior to the expiration or other termination of the Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession. The acceptance by Landlord of any lesser sum shall be construed as a payment on account and not in satisfaction of damages for such holding over.

XVIII. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

18.1 “Environmental Condition” Defined.

As used in this Lease, the phrase “Environmental Condition” shall mean: (a) any adverse condition relating to surface water, ground water, drinking water supply, land, surface or subsurface strata or the ambient air, and includes, without limitation, air, land and water pollutants, noise, vibration, light and odors, or (b) any condition which may result in a claim of liability under the Comprehensive Environment Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended (“CERCLA”), or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), or any claim of violation of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act (“TOSCA”), or any claim of liability or of violation under any federal statute hereafter enacted dealing with the protection of the environment or with the health and safety of employees or members of the general public, or under any rule, regulation, permit or plan under any of the foregoing, or under any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter promulgated by the state in which the Leased Premises are located, or any

political subdivision thereof, relating to such matters (collectively “Environmental Laws”). Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that there is no Environmental Condition known to Landlord which would prevent the use of the Building by Tenant as office space.

18.2 Compliance by Tenant.

Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease term, comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Leased Premises and shall not, in the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, cause or contribute to, or permit or suffer any other party to cause or contribute to any Environmental Condition on or about the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not, however, be responsible for environmental conditions existing prior to Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises except for Tenant’s acts or omissions that worsen, in any way, said conditions, and only to the extent of the worsening. Landlord shall use its best efforts to cause its predecessor in interest, the United States of America, to be responsible for all monitoring, remediation or other obligations regarding the pre-existing Environmental Conditions which it is to perform. Landlord shall be responsible for all pre-existing Environmental Conditions other than those which the United States of America is to perform. In the event that the United States of America fails to perform as provided above, Landlord agrees that Landlord and not Tenant shall be responsible for said pre-existing Environmental Conditions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, receive, keep, maintain or use on or about Leased Premises any substance as to which a filing with a local emergency planning committee, the State Emergency Response Commission or the fire department having jurisdiction over the Leased Premises is required pursuant to ‘311 and/or ‘312 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation or Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (“▇▇▇▇”) (which latter Act includes the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986); in the event Tenant makes a filing pursuant to ▇▇▇▇ or maintains substances as to which a filing would be required, Tenant shall simultaneously deliver copies thereof to Agent, or notify Agent in writing of the presence of those substances.

18.3 Environmental Indemnity.

Tenant shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord, Agent and all of their respective members, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, incurred or imposed, based upon any Environmental Laws or resulting from any Environmental Condition on or about the Leased Premises which occurs due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or the Permitted Parties of Tenant (“Tenant Contamination”). In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the parties indemnified herein by reason of any Tenant Contamination, Tenant will, at Tenant’s expense, by counsel reasonably approved by Landlord, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 18.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall, notwithstanding a termination of this Lease, continue to pay rent for the Leased Premises in the same amount paid during the last year of the term hereof until such time as all remediation work required to cure such matter has been completed.

Landlord shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Tenant and all of its respective members, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, incurred or imposed, based upon any Environmental Laws or resulting from any Environmental Condition on or about the Leased Premises which occurs due to the acts or omissions of Landlord or the Permitted Parties of Landlord (“Landlord Contamination”). In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the parties indemnified herein by reason of any Landlord Contamination, Landlord will, at Landlord’s expense, by counsel reasonably approved by Tenant, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended. During any remediation necessitated of any Landlord Contamination, the rent payable

hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to the extent of any material adverse interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises. The obligations of Landlord under this Section 18.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

18.4 Testing and Remedial Work.

Landlord may conduct tests and routine audits on or about the Leased Premises for the purpose of determining the presence of any Environmental Condition. If such tests and/or audits indicate the presence of an Environmental Condition on or about the Leased Premises which occurs due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or its Permitted Parties, Tenant shall, in addition to its other obligations hereunder, reimburse Landlord for the cost of conducting such tests. Without limiting Tenant’s liability under Section 18.3 hereof, in the event of any such Environmental Condition, Tenant shall promptly and at its sole cost and expense, take any and all steps necessary to remedy the same, complying with all provisions of applicable law and with Section 9.3(b) hereof. If Tenant fails to promptly remedy same, then Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to cause the remediation of same, based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the cost thereof, and upon completion of such work by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any shortfall promptly after Landlord bills Tenant therefor, or Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any excess deposit, as the case may be. Additionally, pursuant to a deed filed for record on October 17, 1997 as Instrument Number 199710170122033, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Deed”), it is the obligation of the United States of America to undertake certain environmental remediation on the Real Estate, which obligation may interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees to make no claim against the United States of America as a result of such interference so long as such remediation is in accordance with the terms of the Deed.

XIX. REMEDIES

19.1 Defaults.

Tenant agrees that any one or more of the following events shall be considered events of default as said term is used herein:

	(a)		Tenant shall be adjudged an involuntary bankrupt, or a decree or rider approving, as properly filed, a petition or answer filed against Tenant asking reorganization of Tenant under the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter amended, or under the laws of any state, shall be entered, and any such decree or judgment or order shall not have been vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of entry or granting thereof; or

	(b)		Tenant shall file or admit the jurisdiction of the court and the material allegations contained in any petition in bankruptcy or any petition pursuant to or purporting to be pursuant to the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter amended, or Tenant shall institute any proceeding or shall give its consent to the institution of any proceedings for any relief of Tenant under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangements, composition or extension; or

	(c)		Tenant shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver for Tenant or any of the property of Tenant; or

	(d)		The Leased Premises are levied upon by any revenue officer or similar officer on account of the actions of Tenant; or

	(e)		A decree or order appointing a receiver of the property of Tenant shall be made and such decree or order shall not have been vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of entry or granting thereof;

	(f)		Tenant shall abandon the Leased Premises during the term hereof; or

	(g)		Tenant shall default in any payment of rent or in any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder when due as herein provided (all of which other payments shall be deemed “additional rent” payable hereunder), or shall default under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, and any such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice thereof in writing to Tenant; or

	(h)		Tenant shall fail to contest the validity of any lien or claimed lien and give security to Landlord to assure payment thereof, or, having commenced to contest the same and having given such security, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or shall fail to have the same released and satisfy any judgment rendered thereon, and such default continues for ten (10) days after notice thereof in writing to Tenant; or

	(i)		Tenant shall default in keeping, observing or performing any of the other covenants or agreements herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing to Tenant, provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter rectify and cure such default with due diligence; or

	(j)		Tenant shall default under any agreement with the Columbus Airport Authority, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, or with any other governmental entity with respect to its operation and use of the Leased Premises.

	(k)		Tenant shall violate any provision of the Declaration of Restrictions and Easements and such violation shall continue for fifteen (15) days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.

19.2 Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of any one or more of such events of default, Landlord may at its election terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, without terminating the Lease. Upon termination of the Lease, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Leased Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and hereby grants to Landlord the full and free right, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant except as hereinabove expressly provided for, to enter into and upon the Leased Premises in such event with or without process of Law and to repossess the Leased Premises by force, self-help or otherwise without process of law as Landlord’s former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any other who may be occupying or within the Leased Premises without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction, or forcible entry or detainer, without incurring any liability for any damages resulting therefrom and without relinquishing Landlord’s rights to rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law. Upon termination of the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages all rent and other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus (a) an amount equal to the value of the rent and other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the residue of the stated term hereof, less the fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the residue of the stated term (taking into account the time and expenses necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, including expenses hereinafter described relating to recovery of the Leased Premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself), and (b) the cost of performing any other covenants to be performed by Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession only without terminating the Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Leased Premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as hereinabove provided, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligations to pay the rent hereunder for the full term or from any other of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord may relet all or any part of the Leased Premises for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord (including the right to relet the Leased Premises

for a term greater or lesser than that remaining under the Lease term, and the right to relet the Leased Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use made of the Leased Premises). For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord may decorate or make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Leased Premises that may be necessary or convenient. If Landlord does not relet the Leased Premises, notwithstanding good faith efforts to do so, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord on demand the monthly rent due hereunder, and other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant. If the Leased Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of the expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, additions, the expenses of such reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including, but not by way of limitation, attorneys’ fees and brokers’ commissions), to satisfy the rent and other charges herein provided to be paid for the remainder of the Lease term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages arising out of Tenant’s default; Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to use such reasonable efforts by reason of the fact that Landlord has leased or sought to lease other vacant premises owned by Landlord, whether on the Real Estate or not, in preference to reletting the Leased Premises, or by reason of the fact that Landlord has sought to relet the Leased Premises at a rental rate higher than that payable by Tenant under the Lease (but not in excess of the then current market rental rate). If Tenant shall default under Section 19.1(i) and if such default cannot with due diligence be cured within said period of thirty (30) days after notice in writing shall have been given to Tenant, and if Tenant promptly commences to eliminate such default, and vigorously pursues such cure to completion thereafter, then Landlord shall not have the right to declare said term ended by reason of such default or to repossess without terminating the Lease so long as Tenant is proceeding diligently and with reasonable dispatch to take all steps and do all work required to cure such default, and does so cure such default, provided, however, that the curing of any default in such manner shall not be construed to limit or restrict the right of Landlord to declare the said term ended or to repossess without terminating the Lease, and to enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder for any other default not timely cured.

19.3 Remedies Cumulative.

No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered to exclude or suspend any other remedy but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and so often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient.

19.4 No Waiver.

No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power to be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach, or as a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant. The acceptance by Landlord of any payment of rent or other charges hereunder after the termination by Landlord of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession hereunder shall not, in the absence of agreement in writing to the contrary to Landlord, be deemed to restore this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession hereunder, as the case may be, but shall be construed as a payment on account, and not in satisfaction of damages due from Tenant to Landlord.

19.5 Intentionally Deleted.

19.6 Delinquent Rent.

In the event Tenant shall be late in the payment of rent or other charges required to be paid hereunder more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) calendar month period (provided notice of such payment or other monetary default shall have been given to Tenant, but regardless of whether Tenant shall have timely cured any such payment or

other defaults of which notice was given), and in addition to the other remedies set forth herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, ten percent (10%) of such delinquent amount, together with such delinquent amount.

XX. SECURITY DEPOSIT
[INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

XXI. MISCELLANEOUS

21.1 Intentionally Deleted.

21.2 Estoppel Certificates.

Landlord and Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written request from the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party, in form reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party, a written statement certifying (if true) that Tenant has accepted the Leased Premises, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), that the other party is not in default hereunder, the date to which the rental and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, whether Tenant has any rights of setoff or self-help under this Lease, and such other accurate certifications as may reasonably be required by the requesting party or its mortgagee, agreeing to give copies to any mortgagee of all notices required under this Lease and agreeing to afford the requesting party’s mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure any default. It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this subsection may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Premises or Real Estate and their respective successors and assigns.

21.3 Landlord’s and Tenant’s Right to Cure/Landlord Default.

Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default by Tenant (specifically including, but not by way of limitation, Tenant’s failure to obtain insurance, make repairs, or satisfy lien claims); and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses paid by Landlord in curing such default, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be so much additional rent due on the next rent date after such payment together with interest (except in the case of said attorneys’ fees) at the highest rate then payable by Tenant in the State of Ohio, or, in the absence of such a maximum rate, at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in excess of the announced prime rate of interest of National City Bank of Columbus, Columbus, Ohio in effect on the date of such advance, from the date of the advance to the date of repayment by Tenant to Landlord.

Any failure by Landlord to observe or perform any provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord, shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease, provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter rectify and cure such default with due diligence.

Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default by Landlord solely with respect to the Leased Premises (specifically including, but not by way of limitation, Landlord’s failure to obtain insurance or make repairs); and whenever Tenant so elects, all reasonable costs and expenses are paid by Tenant in curing such default, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, together with copies of all invoices evidencing such expenditures, together with interest (except in the case of said attorneys’ fees) at the highest rate then payable by Landlord in the State of Ohio, or, in the absence of such a maximum rate, at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in excess of the announced prime rate of interest of National City Bank of Columbus, Columbus, Ohio in effect on the date of such advance, from the date of the advance to the date of repayment by Landlord to Tenant. In the event Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within such thirty (30) days, Tenant shall have the option to deduct the reasonable cost of the cure from twenty-five

percent (25%) of the rent and charges otherwise due hereunder. Tenant shall also have any and all rights available under the laws of the state in which the Leased Premises are situated.

It is understood by and between the parties hereto that parking on the Real Estate, unless as otherwise specifically designated by Landlord as exclusive parking, is allocated to the tenants thereof on an unreserved basis. Tenant, its employees and invitees may use the parking areas identified on the “Tenant Parking Area Plan”, defined below, for Tenant’s use. If Tenant uses parking in excess of that provided for herein, and if such excess use occurs on a regular basis, and if Tenant fails, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, to reduce its excess use of parking area, then such excess use shall constitute a default under this Lease.

Prior to the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall repave and restripe the parking areas to the immediate north and west of the Leased Premises in accordance with the plan attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Tenant Parking Area Plan”). Landlord agrees that (i) Tenant shall have the right to use the areas identified on the Tenant Parking Area Plan; (ii) Tenant shall have continuous truck access to the loading dock on the west side of the Leased Premises; (iii) Landlord shall not make any changes to Tenant accessways identified as “Tenant Accessways” on Exhibit E; and (iv) the parking areas to the immediate north and west of the Leased Premises shall have lighting not less than a minimum foot candle level of one (1) foot candle per square foot.

war, acts of terrorism or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the Delayed Party in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay, provided that the Delayed Party notified the other party within fifteen (15) days of the Delayed Party being informed of the occurrence of the event causing such delay.

21.22 Exculpatory Clause.

Except with respect to any damages resulting from the gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, or employees, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its agents, employees, or customers for any damages, losses, compensation, accidents, or claims whatsoever. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed as creating any liability whatsoever against Landlord personally, its members, officers, directors, shareholders or partners, and in particular without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there shall be no personal liability to pay any indebtedness accruing hereunder or to perform any covenant, either express or implied, herein contained, or to keep, preserve or sequester any property of Landlord, and that all personal liability of Landlord of every sort, if any, is hereby expressly waived by Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, and by every person now or hereafter claiming any right or security hereunder; and that so far as the parties hereto are concerned, the owner of any indebtedness or liability accruing hereunder shall look solely to the Leased Premises for the payment thereof.

If the Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord, any of its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, or their successors or assigns under any provisions of or with respect to this Lease or on account of any matter, condition or circumstance arising out of the relationship of the parties under this Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the building or Landlord’s ownership of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to have execution upon any such final, unappealable judgment only upon Landlord’s fee simple estate in the Real Estate and the rents and profits thereof, and not out of any other assets of Landlord, or any of its members, officers, directors, shareholders or partners, or their successor or assigns; and Landlord shall be entitled to have any such judgment so qualified as to constitute a lien only on said fee simple estate and the rents and profits thereof.
