Such interest will be due and payable as additional rent on or 2 before the next Rent Day or within ten (10) days of a written demand therefor by Landlord, whichever occurs first, and will accrue from the date that such rent, late charges or other sums first became due under the provisions of this Lease until actually paid by Tenant. 4.03 Any default in the payment of rent or other sums will not be considered cured unless and until the interest due hereunder is paid by Tenant to Landlord. The obligation hereunder to pay interest will exist in addition to and not in place of the other default provisions of this Lease. Any money and other charges required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether or not the same may be designated as rental shall be deemed rent and Tenant's failure to pay such money or other charges required under this Lease shall carry with it the same consequences (including the right to commence summary proceedings), as a failure to pay rental. 4.04 In the event any charge imposed hereunder or under any of the Sections of this Lease is either stated to be or is construed as interest, then no such interest charge shall be calculated at a rate that is higher than the maximum interest rate permitted by law, which maximum rate shall be substituted for the rate in excess thereof.

Tenant shall pay the amount of real property taxes at least thirty (30) days before they become delinquent. Tenant shall submit to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the date such taxes become delinquent, paid receipts evidencing payment of such taxes.

The policy will contain cross-liability endorsements. 7.03 The primary policy will insure the Improvements (as defined in Section 1.01 hereof) for full replacement cost against loss by fire with standard extended risk coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and all other risk perils. The named insureds will be Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee, only. 7.04 The primary policy also will provide loss of rents coverage sufficient, to cover the minimum net rental and all other charges which are the obligation of Tenant under this Lease for a twelve (12) month period from the date of any loss or casualty. 7.05 Tenant shall also obtain, at its own expense, a policy of "all risks" insurance covering Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures and any alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Tenant after the Commencement Date.

Each party will notify the other immediately of the placing of any such separate insurance. 7.08 If Tenant fails to provide all or any of the insurance required to be obtained by Tenant under this Section 7, or subsequently fails to maintain such insurance in accordance with the requirements of this Section, Landlord may (but will not be required to) procure or renew such insurance, and any amounts paid by Landlord for such insurance will be additional rental due and payable on or before the next Rent Day, together with late charges and interest as provided in Section 4. 7.09 In the event of loss under any policy or policies provided by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7, other than the liability policy required by subsection 7.2 and the insurance covering the personal property required by Subsection 7.05, the insurance proceeds will be payable to Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee; thereafter, such proceeds, with the exception of the loss of rents insurance proceeds, will be used for the expense of repairing or rebuilding- the Improvements which have been damaged or destroyed if Landlord in its sole discretion and its mortgagee are satisfied that the amount of insurance proceeds are and will be at all times sufficient to pay for the completion of the repairs or rebuilding, and Landlord's mortgagee otherwise makes the proceeds available for repairing and restoring.

In such event, Tenant will not directly pay the insurance premiums, but instead will pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the amounts which Landlord must pay into the escrowed fund on account of such premiums. If the actual premiums, when due, exceed the total payments from time to time made by Tenant under the previous sentence, then Tenant upon demand will pay any deficiency to Landlord. If the payments made by Tenant under this subsection over the Term exceed the amount of premiums paid from such fund, Landlord will refund 6 the excess to Tenant at the expiration of the Term, or at the time such excess is refunded by the mortgagee to Landlord, whichever occurs first. SECTION 8: DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY 8.01 It is understood and agreed that if the Premises are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty during the Term, then, if (a) in Landlord's judgment there are sufficient insurance proceeds available to Landlord to pay for completion of any required repairs, (b) there are at least twenty four (24) months remaining in the Term, and (c) the repairs can be completed within 150 days, Landlord, will repair and restore the same to good tenantable condition with reasonable dispatch. 8.02 Tenant will have the option, exercisable by written notice to Landlord upon restoration of the Premises, to extend the original Term of this Lease for a period equal to the period, if any, during which Tenant was deprived of the use of all or a significant portion of the Premises by reason of such damage or destruction. Tenant's option must be exercised within sixty (60) days following completion of the restoration and repair work. 8.03 If the Premises become untenantable as a result of any damage or destruction to the Premises caused by fire or other casualty, then Tenant will be allowed an abatement of all minimum net rent required to be paid hereunder; provided, however that Tenant's obligation to pay minimum net rent shall recommence as soon as Landlord substantially completes all required repairs to the Improvements. In an event of a casualty rendering a portion of the Premises untenantable, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of minimum net rent until such time as the Premises become tenantable. SECTION 9: REPAIRS 9.01 Landlord shall keep and maintain the roof and exterior walls of the buildings presently located on the Premises exclusive of doors, door frames, door checks, windows, and exclusive of window frames located in exterior building walls, in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and loss or damage due to the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees, or contractors excepted.

Tenant shall also pay all other expenses in connection with the maintenance of the Premises, including repair and upkeep of grounds, sidewalks, driveways and parking areas in accordance with the standard required under this Section 9.02. 9.03 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the parking areas and driveways repaired, seal coated and stripped by a contractor approved by Landlord.

Landlord shall provide not less than five (5) days prior written notice of any work which Landlord intends to perform under this Section; provided, however that no prior written notice shall be required if Landlord believes in good faith an emergency situation exists or Tenant is in default hereunder beyond any applicable grace period. All amounts payable under this Section will be additional rental and failure by Tenant to pay them when due will be a default under this Lease and further will result in the assessment of late charges and interest under Section 4. SECTION 11: ALTERATIONS 11.01 The parties agree that Tenant will not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to non-structural alterations, 8 additions or improvements. Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion with respect to structural alterations, additions or improvements. All alterations, additions or improvements made by either of the parties hereto on the Premises will be the property of Landlord and will remain on and be surrendered with the Premises at the termination of this Lease. Alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant shall not be required to be removed and the Premises restored by Tenant unless Landlord expressly conditions its approval of such alterations, additions or improvements on the removal thereof by Tenant at the termination of the Term. All such alterations, additions and improvements shall be (a) subject to reasonable conditions specified by Landlord, (b) in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, (c) performed by licensed trade people, and (d) performed in a good workmanlike and diligent manner.

For purposes hereof, the bonding of such lien by a reputable casualty insurance company reasonable satisfactory to Landlord shall be deemed the equivalent of a discharge of any such lien. Should any action, suit, or proceeding be brought upon any such lien for the enforcement or foreclosure of the same, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and with respect to any such claims, damages, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which Landlord may incur arising out of the existence or attempted enforcement of any such liens. SECTION 13: EMINENT DOMAIN 13.01 In the event that during the Term proceedings are instituted under the power of eminent domain which result in the taking of any part of the building on the Premises or the taking of a portion of the parking area, and Tenant's business is significantly and adversely affected, resulting in an eviction total or partial of Tenant therefrom, then at the time of such eviction this Lease will be void and the Term will cease and terminate; and, if Tenant thereafter continues in possession of the Premises or any part thereof, it will be a lease from month to month and for no longer term, anything in this instrument to the contrary notwithstanding. If there is only a partial taking, not including a portion of the building or reducing parking to the extent described in the previous sentence, Landlord will restore the Premises to the extent necessary to permit Tenant to continue its use of the Premises; provided further that the whole of any award for any portion of the Premises taken by reason of said condemnation proceedings will be solely the property of and payable to Landlord, and provided further that the whole of any award for loss of business and for removal and relocation expenses in any such condemnation proceedings will be the sole property of and be payable to Tenant. It is further agreed that in any such 9 condemnation proceedings Landlord and Tenant will each seek its own award and do so at its own expense. SECTION 14: ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING 14.01 Tenant agrees not to assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any interest in this Lease without the previous written consent of Landlord, and not to sublet the entire Premises or allow anyone to use or to come in with, through or under it without like consent, which consent will not be withheld unreasonably if the proposed subtenant's or assignee's proposed use of the Premises does not violate the use clause of this Lease. In no event may Tenant assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest in this Lease at any time while in default hereunder. One such consent will not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, however, assign this Lease after ten (10) days written notice to Landlord (but without Landlord's consent) to a corporation with which it may merge or consolidate, to any parent or subsidiary of Tenant or subsidiary of Tenant's parent, or to the purchaser of substantially all of Tenant's assets if the assignee executes an agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord assuming Tenant's obligations hereunder and agrees to pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees in reviewing and/or approving any such proposed assignment. The acceptance of rent from an assignee, subtenant or occupant will not release Tenant from or alter the primary liability of Tenant to perform the obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease. In the event of any assignment or sublease of all of the Premises where the rental or other consideration reserved in the sublease or by the assignment exceeds the rental or pro rata portion of the rental, as the case may be, for such space reserved in this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord monthly, as additional rent, on the Rent Day, the excess of the rental or other consideration reserved in the sublease or assignment over the rental reserved in this Lease applicable to the subleased/assigned space. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord selected Tenant in part on the basis of Tenant's proposed use and occupation of the Premises and agrees that Landlord may withhold consent to any proposed sublease or assignment if the subtenant's or assignee's proposed use of the Premises would violate the use clause of this Lease. SECTION 15: INSPECTION OF PREMISES 15.01 Tenant agrees to permit Landlord and the authorized representatives of Landlord to enter the Premises at all reasonable times during business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same. 10 SECTION 16: FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT 16.01 All fixtures and equipment paid for by Landlord and all fixtures and equipment which may be paid for and placed on the Premises by Tenant from time to time, but which are so incorporated and affixed to Improvements that their removal would involve damage or structural change to Improvements, will be and remain the property of Landlord. 16.02 All furnishings, equipment and fixtures, other than those specified in Section 16.01, which are paid for and placed on the Premises by Tenant from time to time (other than those which are replacements for fixtures originally paid for by Landlord) will remain the property of Tenant. SECTION 17: NOTICE OR DEMANDS 17.01 All bills, notices, statements, communications to or demands (collectively, "Notices or Demands") upon Landlord or Tenant, desired or required to be given under any of the provisions hereof, must be in writing. Any such Notices or Demands will be deemed to have been duly and sufficiently given if (a) a properly addressed copy thereof has been mailed by United States mail in an envelope properly stamped arid addressed, (b) by means of a reputable overnight delivery service guaranteeing next day delivery ("Overnight Courier"), or (c) personally delivered at: If to Landlord: Penobscot Land Company C/o Chateau Management and Realty, Inc.

SECTION 18: BREACH; INSOLVENCY; REENTRY 18.01 (a) In the event Tenant shall fail to pay the rent reserved herein when due, and Tenant shall fail to cure such default within ten (10) days, Landlord shall, in addition to its other remedies provided by law, have the remedies set forth in Section 18.01(c) hereof. (b) If Tenant shall be in default in performing any of the terms of this Lease other than the payment of rent, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such default, and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, or if the default is of such a character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure, then if Tenant shall fail, within said thirty (30) day period, to commence and thereafter proceed diligently to cure such default within such additional reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days in total), then and in either of such event, Landlord may (at its option and in addition to its other legal remedies) cure such default for the account of Tenant, and any sum so expended by Landlord plus interest shall be additional rent for all purposes hereunder, including Section 18.01 (a) hereof, and shall be paid by Tenant with the next monthly installment of rent or within ten (10) days of a written demand therefor by Landlord. (c) If any rent shall be due and unpaid or Tenant shall be in default upon any of the other terms of this Lease, and such default has not been cured within the time provided in Section 18.01 (a) and (b) hereof, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, shall have the immediate right of re-entry. Should Landlord re-enter or take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease, or, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall in its reasonable discretion deem advisable. The avails of such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than rent due hereunder; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting, including the cost of any repairs to the Premises; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should the avails of such reletting during any month be less than the monthly rent reserved hereunder, then Tenant shall during each such month pay such deficiency to Landlord. 12 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the foregoing computation, Landlord may elect, at its sole option, to receive liquidated damages in one payment equal to any deficiency between (i) the total rent reserved hereunder through the balance of the Lease term, and (ii) the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period, both discounted at the rate of interest then announced by Michigan National Bank, as its "prime rate" plus two percent (2%), to present value at the time of declaration of forfeiture. 18.02 (a) Neither Tenant's interest in this Lease, nor any estate hereby created in Tenant, nor any interest herein or therein, shall pass to any trustee or receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law, except as may specifically be provided pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. (b) In the event the interest or estate created in Tenant hereby shall be taken in execution or by the process of law, or if Tenant's assigns, if any, shall be adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to the provisions of any State Act or the Bankruptcy Code, or if Tenant is adjudicated insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, other than the United States Bankruptcy Court, or if a receiver or trustee of the property of Tenant be appointed by reason of the insolvency or inability of Tenant to pay its debts, or if any assignment shall be made of the property of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, then and in any such event, this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall automatically cease and terminate with the same force and effect as though the date of such event were the date originally set forth herein and fixed for the expiration of the Term, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises but shall remain liable as herein provided. (c) Tenant shall not cause or give cause for the appointment of a trustee or receiver of the assets of Tenant and shall not make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or become or be adjudicated insolvent. The allowance of any petition under any insolvency law except under the Bankruptcy Code or the appointment of a trustee or receiver of Tenant or of the assets of Tenant, shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant caused, or gave cause therefor, unless such allowance of the petition, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver, is vacated within ninety (90) days after such allowance or appointment.
