Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Tenant shall be permitted, without further consent of the Landlord, to assign or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises to any corporation which it controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation with Tenant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such assignment shall operate or be deemed to operate to release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant contained in this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to assign its interest in this Lease to its primary lender as collateral security with respect to Tenant’s obligations to its lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such assignment shall operate or be deemed to operate to release Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the covenants, conditions and other terms on the part of Tenant contained in this Lease.
     9.02 Assignment, Sublease Void. Any assignment or sublease in violation of Section 9.01 hereinabove shall be void. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises is subleased or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to Rent.

The consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent in writing to any further assignment or sublease. No permitted subtenant may assign or encumber its sublease or further sublease all or any portion of its subleased space, or otherwise permit the subleased space or any part of its subleased space to be used or occupied by others, without Landlord’s prior express written consent in each instance obtained.

Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, or for specific performance, injunction, or declaratory judgment.
ARTICLE 10.00 — SECURITY DEPOSIT — Intentionally omitted.
ARTICLE 11.00 COMMON AREAS
     11.01 General. As used in this Lease, the term “Common Areas” shall mean, without limitation, the driveways, walkways, parking areas, lawn and all other areas and facilities in Landlord’s Property which are provided and designated from time to time by Landlord for the general non-exclusive use and convenience of Tenant with other tenants of Landlord’s Property and their respective employees, invitees, licensees or other visitors.

     (a) Establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations concerning the maintenance, management, use and operation of the Common Areas;

     (c) Temporarily close any of the Common Areas for maintenance, alteration or improvement purposes;

So long as Tenant is not thus deprived of the substantial use and benefit of the Leased Premises for Tenant’s intended use, Landlord shall also have the right at any time to change the arrangement or location of, or both, or to regulate the use of, any concourse, parking spaces, garage, or any elevators, stairs, toilets or other public conveniences in Landlord’s Property, without incurring any liability to Tenant or entitling Tenant to any abatement of rent and such action will not constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant; and
     (f) Erect one or more additional buildings on the common areas, expand the Buildings or other buildings to cover a portion of the Common Areas, convert Common Areas to a portion of the Buildings or other buildings, or convert any portion of the Buildings (excluding the Leased Premises) or other buildings to Common Areas. Upon erection of any additional buildings or change in Common Areas, the portion of Landlord’s Property upon which buildings or structures have been erected shall no longer be deemed to be a part of the Common Areas. In the event of any such changes in the size or use of the Building or Common Areas of the Buildings or Landlord’s Property, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Rentable Area of the Buildings, as appropriate, and a corresponding adjustment to Tenant’s Share of Common Area Expenses payable pursuant to Section 11.02 hereinbelow.

In addition to Base Monthly Rent, and subject to the further provisions of this Section 11.02, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the Common Area Expenses (as hereinbelow defined) paid or incurred by Landlord in each calendar Lease Year or partial Lease Year during the Term. As used in this Lease, the term “Common Area Expenses” shall mean:
     (a) all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for the maintenance, repair, replacement, upkeep, operation, snow plowing, cleaning and landscaping of the Common Areas; and
     (b) the cost (amortized over such period as Landlord may determine in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as amended and regulations thereunder) together with interest at the Prime Rate from time to time prevailing on the unamortized balance of any capital improvements: (A) which are made to Landlord’s Property by landlord during the Term and which reduce other Common Area Expenses by an amount which is equal to or more than the annual amortized cost of such improvement, or (B) which are made to Landlord’s Property by Landlord after the Date and which are required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to Landlord’s Property at the time it was constructed and are not a result of Tenant’s unique use of the Leased Premises or any other tenant’s unique use of the Landlord’s Property.
     Any capital improvements which are required to be made to Landlord’s Property after the Date as a result of Tenant’s unique use of the Leased Premises shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.00 of this Lease.
     Common Area Expenses shall not include: (1) depreciation on Landlord’s Property (other than depreciation on personal property, equipment, window coverings on exterior windows provided by Landlord and carpeting in public corridors); (2) costs of improvements made for other tenants of Landlord’s Property; (3) finders’ fees and real estate brokers’ commissions; (4) mortgage principal or interest; and (5) capital items other than those referred to in clause (b) above.
     (c) Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall


 

20

provide Tenant with copies of documentation substantiating Common Area Expenses incurred by the Landlord. Landlord agrees that, except for expenses incurred by Landlord for snow and ice removal with respect to Common Areas as to which there shall be no limit on increases based upon the manner in which such expense is charged to the Landlord, increases in Common Area Expenses payable by the Tenant shall not exceed five percent (5%) from the prior year.
     (d) As to any equipment and other capital expenditures incurred by the Landlord which the Tenant is required to reimburse the Landlord hereunder, the cost of such equipment or other capital expenditures shall be amortized over such period as Landlord may determine in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as amended and regulations thereunder.
     11.03 Parking License. Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees shall have a non-exclusive license, in common with Landlord and other tenants, to park automobiles in the parking areas of the Common Areas.
ARTICLE 12.00 LANDLORD’S REPAIRS AND SERVICES
     12.01 Landlord’s Repair and Maintenance. Subject to Article 13.00 hereinbelow, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, maintain and repair the roof, weight-bearing walls and foundations of the Leased Premises, the utility lines from their point of entry to the Landlord’s Property to the Leased Premises and also the capital components of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system of the Leased Premises provided that the Tenant at the Tenant’s cost and expenses, provides periodic maintenance of such system in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations for such system except for damage caused to any of the foregoing items by the acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees or invitees, or by the failure of Tenant to perform or comply with any terms, conditions or covenants in this Lease, any of which damage shall be repaired by Tenant at Tenant’s expense, or, at Landlord’s option, by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. As a condition precedent to all obligations of Landlord to repair under this Section 12.01, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the need for such repairs, and Landlord shall endeavor to make such repairs within ten (10) days


 

21

if possible or, if not possible, within a reasonable time after receipt thereof to make such repairs. Expenses incurred by the Landlord in making any such repairs which are the responsibility of the Landlord shall not be included as “Common Area Expenses” under the terms of this Lease.
     To the extent applicable to the Building and the Common Areas, the Landlord shall also be required to construct the same in accordance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended and regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that it shall be the responsibility of the Tenant at the Tenant’s cost and expense to provide reasonable accommodations under Title I of Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended and regulations thereunder which are required to be provided to any particular employee of the Tenant.
     12.02 Landlord’s Services. Except to the extent, if any, expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services to Tenant or the Leased Premises.
     12.03 Utilities and Services. Landlord shall furnish the Leased Premises with (i) running water sufficient for normal lavatory and kitchen use for an office and warehouse facility; (ii) electricity for normal lighting and office equipment for an office and warehouse facility; (iii) heating and air conditioning at appropriate levels for warehouse and office space respectively. The cost of any and all said utilities shall be the responsibility of Tenant, and the cost of electricity and gas furnished to the Leased Premises hereunder, including but not limited to the cost of electricity to provide air conditioning and lighting to the Leased Premises, and the cost of gas to provide heating to the Leased Premises, shall be separately metered to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay for said electricity and gas directly to the utility company or companies supplying the same. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of water furnished to the Leased Premises during the Term as follows: (i) Tenant shall pay for cost of water consumed by the Tenant at the Leased Premises based on meter readings (meter to be installed by the Landlord at the Landlord’s cost and expense) as applied to any bill or statement rendered to the Landlord with respect to the Landlord’s Property a copy of which bill shall


 

22

also be furnished to the Tenant; and (ii) Tenant will pay to the Landlord a portion of any minimum charge imposed by the water authority furnishing such water as set forth in periodic bills or statements rendered to the Landlord which portion shall be equal to the amount of such minimum charge multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is charge for the amount of water actually used by the Tenant as based upon the aforesaid meter readings as to the Tenant’s use or consumption and the denominator of which is the charge for the entire amount of water actually used or consumed with respect to the Landlord’s Property as set forth in such bill or statement. By way of example and not by limitation, in the event that in a particular water bill with respect to the Landlord’s Property there is a minimum charge of $200.00 to be paid and Tenant’s actual charge is $300.00 with the total actual charges for the Landlord’s Property (inclusive of the Tenant’s actual charges) being $400.00, Tenant will be required to pay $300.00 for actual water consumed plus $150.00 of the minimum charge ($200.00 x $300.00/$400.00 = $150.00)
     Provided that the utility services installed by the Landlord comply with the plans and specifications set forth in Exhibit C, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall any Rent reserved in this Lease be abated in whole or in part by reason of, (1) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of such utility services, (2) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such utility services or by the making of repairs to the Leased Premises or to the Building (unless such repairs are substantial and material in nature and materially affect the Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises), or (3) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restrictions on use of water, electricity, gas or any other utility serving the Leased Premises or the Building. In the event of any interruption of utility services, Landlord shall use its best efforts to coordinate the resumption of such utility services with the provider of such utility services. Landlord shall be liable only for intentional misconduct which causes an interruption of utility services.
     12.04 Limitation on Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other person or entity for direct or consequential damages resulting from the admission to or exclusion from the Building or Landlord’s Property of any person.


 

23

Provided that the Landlord has acted in good faith under and pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12.00, Landlord shall not be liable for damages to person or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business for any discontinuance permitted under this Article 12.00, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE 13.00 TENANT’S REPAIRS
     13.01 General. Except for maintenance and repairs for which Landlord is responsible under Section 12.01 hereinabove, Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for maintaining and repairing the Leased Premises in good order and condition, including, without limitation, such portions of the Leased Premises as doors, windows, window glass, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, sprinkler, electric, gas and sewerage systems, facilities and equipment and other systems and improvements located within the Leased Premises.

Landlord represents and warrants that all mechanical and utility systems shall be in good working order as of the Commencement Date. Landlord agrees that all manufacturers’ warranties as to the items of the Leased Premises to be repaired by the Tenant may be enforced by the Tenant and the Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant as to such enforcement.


 

24

ARTICLE 14.00 ALTERATIONS
     14.01 General. Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises, or attach any fixtures or equipment to the Leased Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. All such alterations, additions and improvements consented to by Landlord (a) shall be performed by contractors acceptable to Landlord and subject to conditions specified by Landlord. Subject to Tenant’s rights under Article 16.00, all alterations, additions, fixtures (other than Tenant’s trade fixtures) and improvements, whether temporary or permanent in character, made in or upon the Leased Premises either by Tenant or Landlord, shall immediately become Landlord’s property and at the end of the Term (inclusive of any extension) shall remain on the Leased Premises without compensation to Tenant. By notice given to Tenant no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of this Lease and any extension, Landlord may require that Tenant remove any or all alterations, addition, fixtures and improvements which are made in or upon the Leased Premises by or for Tenant after the initial improvements to the Leased Premises.

     14.02 Partitions. Tenant shall have the right to install freestanding work station partitions either as part of the initial improvement of the Leased Premises, or, after such initial improvement, without Landlord’s prior written consent, so long as no building or other governmental permit is required for their installation or relocation; provided, however, if a permit is required, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such relocation or installation. The freestanding work station partitions for which Tenant pays shall be part of Tenant’s trade fixtures for all purposes under this Lease. All other partitions which are installed in the Leased Premises are and shall be Landlord’s property for all purposes under this Lease.


 

25

ARTICLE 15.00 MECHANICS’ LIENS
     15.01 General. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all costs and charges for work done by Tenant or caused to be done by Tenant in or to the Leased Premises, and for all materials furnished for or in connection with such work. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and CCIDA against, and hold Landlord and CCIDA, the Leased Premises and Landlord’s Property free, clear and harmless of and from, all mechanic’s liens and claims of liens, and all other liabilities, liens, claims and demands on account of such work by or on behalf of Tenant.

If a final judgment establishing the validity or existence of a lien for any amount is entered, Tenant shall immediately pay and satisfy the same. If Tenant fails to pay any charge for which such a mechanics’ lien has been filed, and has not given Landlord security as described above, Landlord may, at its option, pay such charge and related costs and interest, and the amount so paid, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with such lien, shall be immediately due from Tenant to Landlord. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed the consent or agreement of Landlord to subject the interest of Landlord or of CCIDA in Landlord’s Property or the CCIDA Lease to liability under any mechanic’s or other lien law. If Tenant receives notice that a lien has been or is about to be filed against the Leased Premises or Landlord’s Property or any action affecting title to Landlord’s Property has been commenced on account of work done by or for or materials furnished to or for Tenant, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of such notice.
     15.02 Prior Notice to Landlord. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any work (including, but not limited to any alterations, additions, improvements or


 

26

installations) in or to the Leased Premises, by others at the request of the Tenant, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the proposed work and the names and addresses of the persons supplying labor and materials for the proposed work. Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility or similar notices on Landlord’s Property in order to protect Landlord’s Property against any such liens.
ARTICLE 16.00 END OF TERM
     At the expiration of the Term of this Lease or any extension, or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly quit and surrender the Leased Premises broom-clean and in good order and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant may remove from the Leased Premises any trade fixtures, equipment and movable furniture placed in the Leased Premises by Tenant, whether or not such trade fixtures or equipment are fastened to the Building; provided, however, Tenant shall not remove any trade fixtures or equipment without Landlord’s prior written consent if the removal of such fixtures or equipment will adversely affect the structure of the Building or its improvements. Whether or not Tenant is in default, Tenant shall remove such alterations, additions, improvements, trade fixtures, equipment and furniture as Landlord may request in accordance with Article 14.00 hereinabove. Tenant shall fully and promptly repair any damage occasioned by the removal of any trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, alterations, additions and improvements. All trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, inventory, effects, alterations, additions and improvements not so removed shall be deemed conclusively to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord at its sole discretion upon ten (10) days notice to Tenant and, in such event, Landlord shall have no obligation to account therefor; and Tenant shall pay Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such property, including, but not limited to, the cost of repairing any damage to the Building or the Leased Premises caused by the removal of such property. Tenant’s obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 17.00 EMINENT DOMAIN
     If all of the Leased Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain (or conveyed by Landlord in lieu of such exercise), this Lease shall terminate on a date (the “Termination Date”) which is the earlier of the date upon which the condemning authority takes possession of the Leased Premises or the date on which title to the Leased Premises is vested in the condemning authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises is so taken, Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date. If all or substantially all of Landlord’s Property is so taken, Landlord may cancel this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date. In the event of any such taking, the entire award shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any part of such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to assert a claim against the condemning authority in a separate action for (a) Tenant’s moving expenses and (b) leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant.
ARTICLE 18.00 DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
     18.01 General. The parties hereto mutually agree that if the Leased Premises are partially or totally destroyed or damaged by fire or otherwise, then Landlord (subject to being able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals therefor) shall repair and restore the Leased Premises as soon as is reasonably practicable to substantially the same condition in which the Leased Premises existed before such damage; provided that if the insurance proceeds collected or collectible and available to Landlord to pay the cost of such repairs and restorations by Landlord as a consequence of such destruction or damage are less than the cost of such repairs and restorations as estimated by Landlord’s architect, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence or perform such repairs and restorations, and this Lease upon notice by Landlord to Tenant shall at the option of Landlord terminate unless Tenant undertakes (in form and upon terms satisfactory to Landlord) to pay the difference between such estimated cost and such insurance proceeds. If, however, the Leased Premises are completely destroyed or so


 

28

damaged that Landlord cannot reasonably restore or rebuild within (4) months subsequent to the receipt of the insurance proceeds therefor to substantially the same condition in which the Leased Premises were before such damage, then Landlord shall not be required or rebuild or restore, and this Lease shall be terminable by Landlord or Tenant by serving written notice upon the other party. In any event, if repairs have not been commenced within thirty (30) days after the date of damage, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant serving notice upon Landlord following the expiration of such thirty (30) days, but in no event may Tenant terminate this Lease after such repairs have been commenced by Landlord.
          18.02 Abatement. In the event the Leased Premises are completely or partially destroyed or so damaged by fire or other hazard that the Leased Premises cannot be reasonably used by Tenant or can only be partially used by Tenant and this Lease is not terminated as above provided, there shall be a proportionate abatement of rent.
          18.03 Restoration During the Last Nine (9) Months. Anything in Section 18.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, if, within nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Term or any extension thereof of this Lease the Leased Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or otherwise and the estimated cost of restoration exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) unless Tenant has or does exercise any option it holds for an additional term, Landlord shall be under no obligation to repair and restore the Leased Premises, and at the election of Landlord by notice to Tenant the Lease shall terminate.
          18.04 Tenant’s Obligation Upon Restoration. In the event of damage or destruction to the Leased Premises and unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord or Tenant as provided in this Article 18, Tenant shall, as soon as possible, repair, re-decorate and re-fixture the interior of the Leased Premises in a manner and to at least a condition equal to that existing prior to its destruction or casualty, and Tenant shall thereupon re-open the entire Leased Premises for business.

Nevertheless, Tenant or Tenant’s attorney-in-fact designated by Tenant in writing from time to time shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any time and from time to time, upon demand by Landlord, CCIDA or Bondholder, such reasonable documents as may be requested by Landlord, CCIDA or Bondholder, as the case may be, or any ground or underlying lessor, or any mortgagee, to confirm or effect any such subordination so long as such documents do not obligate Tenant to any additional responsibilities or liabilities not already contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s agreement that the Lease is subordinate to each mortgage covering the Landlord’s Property shall be conditioned the holder of such mortgage executing an agreement that such holder will not disturb the Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises provided that the Tenant continues to perform and comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be performed and complied with.
     19.02 Attornment. Tenant agrees that in the event that any holder of any ground or underlying lease (including, without limitation, the CCIDA Lease), mortgage (including, without limitation, the Mortgage), deed of trust, or other encumbrance encumbering any part of Landlord’s Property succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay to such holder all rents subsequently payable under this Lease.

30

the trustee or the beneficiary under or holder or owner of any such mortgage, deed of trust, or land or ground lease of the remedies provided for by law or by such mortgage, deed of trust, or land or ground lease, Tenant will, upon written request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the tenant of, and attorn to, such successor in interest without change in the terms or provisions of this Lease. Upon request by such successor in interest or by CCIDA or Bondholder, and without cost to Landlord or such successor in interest or CCIDA or Bondholder, Tenant or Tenant’s attorney-in-fact designated by Tenant in writing from time to time shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment.
ARTICLE 20.00 ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all doors in, on, or about the Leased Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar sensitive areas reasonably designated in writing by Tenant in advance). Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means that Landlord may reasonably deem proper to


 

31
open doors in and to the Leased Premises in order to obtain entry to the Leased Premises in a situation deemed an emergency by Landlord. Any entry to the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord by any means permitted under this Article 20.00 shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into a detainer of the Leased Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Leased Premises, or any portion of the Leased Premises, nor will any such entry entitle Tenant to damages or an abatement of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges that this Lease requires Tenant to pay. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Landlord’s right of entry under this article shall be subject to restrictions and limitations imposed on Tenant under any laws, regulations or contracts of the United States protecting national security.

          (e) Involuntary proceedings under any such bankruptcy law or insolvency act or for the dissolution of tenant are instituted against Tenant, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of the property of Tenant, and such proceeding is not dismissed or such receivership or trusteeship vacated within sixty (60) days after such institution or appointment;
          (f) Tenant fails to take possession of the Leased Premises on the Commencement Date of the term; or
          (g) Tenant breaches any of the other material agreements, terms, covenants or conditions which this Lease


 

35

requires Tenant to perform, and such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant; or if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant fails promptly within said thirty (30) day period to commence and proceed diligently and in good faith to cure such breach and fails to complete such cure within a reasonable time.
     25.02 Landlord’s Remedies. If any one or more Events of Default set forth in Section 25.01(a) - (g) shall occur, then Landlord has the right, at its election:
          (a) to give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on the earliest date permitted by law or on any later date specified in such notice, in which case Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises shall cease and this Lease shall be terminated, except as to Tenant’s liability, as if the termination date specified in such notice were the original Expiration Date of the Term; or
          (b) upon written notice, and whether or not Landlord terminates the Lease as provided in subsection (a) hereinabove, to re-enter, take possession of the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises, re-possess the same, expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both or either, and, for such purposes, performing such acts as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary, without being liable for prosecution, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Base Monthly Rent or other amounts payable under this Lease or as a result of any preceding breach of covenants or condition; or
          (c) without further demand or notice, to cure any Event of Default and to charge Tenant for the reasonable cost of effecting such cure, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and interest on the amount so advanced at the rate set forth in Section 26.22; provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to cure any such Event of Default of Tenant.
     25.03 Right to Relet. Should Landlord elect to re-enter as provided in subsection (b), or should Landlord take


 

36

possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name, but for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include concessions of free rent and alternation and repair of the Leased Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive all Rent. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises, or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon such reletting. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless an express written notice of such election is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord under this Section or under a forcible or unlawful entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right following any such re-entry or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which event this Lease shall terminate as specified in such notice.
     25.04 Certain Damages. In the event that Landlord does not elect to terminate this lease as permitted in subsection (a) of Section 25.02, but instead elects to take possession as provided in subsection (b) of Section 25.02, Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (a) Base Monthly Rent and other sums as provided in this Lease, which would be payable under this Lease if such repossession had not occurred, less (b) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises after deducting all Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, expenses of employees, alteration and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing Term, or the premises covered by such new lease include other premises not part of the Leased Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting and the expenses incurred in

 


 

37

connection with such reletting as provided in this Section shall be made by Landlord in determining the net proceeds from such reletting, and any rent concessions shall be equally apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant shall pay such rent and other sums to Landlord monthly on the date on which the Base Monthly Rent would have been payable under this Lease if possession had not been retaken, and Landlord will be entitled to receive such rent and other sums from Tenant on each such day.
     25.05 Continuing Liability After Termination. If this Lease is terminated on account of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to Base Monthly Rent and other amounts which would have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Term, had this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises by Landlord subsequent to such termination, after deducting all Landlords expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, the expenses enumerated in Section 25.04. Landlord shall be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the day on which Base Monthly Rent and other amounts would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease had not been terminated, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive such Base Monthly Rent and other amounts from Tenant on each such day. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, in the event this Lease is so terminated, Landlord shall be entitled to recover against Tenant as aggregate damages an amount which, at the time of such termination of this Lease, represents the excess of the aggregate of Base Monthly Rent and all other Rent payable by Tenant that would have accrued for the balance of the Term over the aggregate rental value of the Leased Premises (such rental value to be computed on the basis of a tenant paying not only a rent to Landlord for the use and occupation of the Leased Premises, but also such other charges as are required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this Lease) for the balance of such term, both discounted to present value at the lesser of eight percent (8%) or the discount rate of the New York Federal Reserve Bank on the date of the Event of Default.
     25.06 Cumulative Remedies. Any suit or suits for the recovery of the amounts and damages set forth in Sections 25.04 and 25.05 may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord’s election, and nothing in this Lease will be deemed to require Landlord to await the date upon which this lease or the


 

38

term would have expired had there occurred no Event of Default. Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease is cumulative and is in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or after the Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or after the Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise will not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or after the Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. All costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect any amounts and damages owning by Tenant pursuant to the provision of this Lease or to enforce or attempt to enforce any provision of this Lease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees from the date any such matter is turned over to an attorney, whether or not one or more actions are commenced by Landlord, will also be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant.
     25.07 Right of Redemption. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption under any existing or future statute or case law.
     25.08 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be deemed to have defaulted under the terms of this Lease in the event that the Landlord breaches any of the material agreements, terms, covenants or conditions which this Lease requires Landlord to perform, and such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant to Landlord; or if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord fails promptly within said thirty (30) day period to commence and proceed diligently and in good faith to cure such breach and fails to complete such cure within a reasonable time.
ARTICLE 26.00 MISCELLANEOUS
     26.01 No Offer. This Lease is submitted to Tenant on the understanding that it will not be considered an offer and will not bind Landlord in any way until: (a) Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate originals to Landlord and (b) Landlord has duly executed and delivered one of such originals to Tenant.


 

39

     26.02. Intentionally omitted.
     26.03 No Construction Against Drafting Party. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that each of them and their counsel have had an opportunity to review this Lease and that this Lease will not be construed against Landlord merely because Landlord has prepared it.
     26.04 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Lease.
     26.05 No Recordation. Tenant’s recordation of this Lease or any memorandum or short form of it will be void and a default under this Lease.
     26.06 No Waiver. The waiver by either party of any agreement, condition or provision contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition or provision contained in this Lease, nor will any custom or practice that may involve or arise between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen the right of either party to insist upon performance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlords’ knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
     26.07 Limitation on Recourse. Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in Landlord’s Property for the recovery of any judgments from Landlord. Landlord (and its shareholders, principals, agents, officers, directors and employees) shall not be personally liable for any such judgments. The provisions contained in the preceding sentences are not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or relief in any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of amounts which may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Landlord.

 


 

40

     26.08 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time but within fifteen (15) days after written request by Landlord, CCIDA or Bondholder, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, CCIDA, Bondholder, as the case may be, a certificate certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification, (b) the date, if any, to which Base Monthly Rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; and (c) that no notice has been given to Landlord of any default that has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in the certificate. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or existing or prospective mortgagee of the Building or any part of Landlord’s Property.
     26.09 Landlord’s Acknowledgment and Consent. Landlord hereby acknowledges that it does not have any current rights, lien or security interest in any of Tenants personal property to be located at the Leased Premises, which acknowledgment shall be deemed in favor of Chase Bank or any other secured lender of the Tenant and Landlord agrees that Chase Bank and any other secured lender may come upon the Landlord=s Property for purposes of enforcement of any security interest in such personal property given by Tenant and Tenant hereby consents to the same. Landlord further agrees that it will, from time to time, execute such acknowledgment and consent agreements as to any such personal property of the Tenant located within the Leased Premises as Chase Bank or such other lender may reasonably request in connection with the extension of credit to Tenant. The Landlord further acknowledges that it will not have in the future any rights, lien or security interest in the Tenant’s personal property to be located at the Leased Premises by virtue of such Property being located on Landlord’s Property in the absence of: (i) a voluntary grant of a security interest by the Tenant; (ii) the obtaining by the Landlord of a judgment against the Tenant and the creation of a judgment lien in such personal property as provided by law; or (iii) a court order or judgment providing the Landlord with any such lien as provided by law. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Landlord from enforcing any legal right or remedy against Tenant or Tenant’s personal property in the event of any default hereunder by the Tenant.


 

41

     26.10 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the cancellation of this Lease by mutual agreement of Tenant and Landlord or the termination of this Lease on account of Tenant’s default shall not cause a merger, and shall, at Landlord’s option, (a) terminate all or any subleases and subtenancies, or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of all or any subleases or subtenancies. Landlord’s option under this Section 26.10 shall be exercised by notice to Tenant and all known sublessees or subtenants in the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises.
     26.11 Holding Over. Tenant shall have no right to remain in possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term, with the express or implied consent of Landlord: (a) such tenancy shall be deemed to be a periodic tenancy from month-to-month only; (b) such tenancy shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease for any further term; and (c) such tenancy may be terminated by Landlord upon the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days prior written notice or (ii) the earliest date permitted by law. If Tenant, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, remains in possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term, Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last month of the Term, and any other sums due under this Lease shall be payable in the amount and at the times specified in this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy or any other hold-over tenancy shall be subject to every other term, condition, and covenant in this Lease.

Either Landlord or Tenant may add additional addresses or change its address for purposes of receipt of any such communication by giving (10) days prior written notice of


 

42

such change to the other party in the manner prescribed in this Section 26.12.
     26.13 Severability. If any provision of this Lease is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected by such finding, and in lieu of each provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, a provision shall be added as a part of this Lease as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable.
     26.14 Written Amendment Required. No amendment, alteration, modification of or addition to this Lease shall be valid or binding unless and until expressed in writing and signed by the Landlord and Tenant and by CCIDA and Bondholder. Tenant agrees to make any modifications of the terms and provision of this Lease require or requested by any lending institution providing financing for the Building or Landlord’s Property, as the case may be, provided that no such modifications shall materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights and obligations under this Lease.
     26.15 Entire Agreement. This Lease, including all Exhibits hereto contain the entire understanding and agreement between Landlord and Tenant and may be amended only by subsequent written agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. No promises, warranties or representations, except as expressly and specifically contained in the Lease, have been made to Tenant respecting the condition of the Leased Premises or the manner of operating the Building or Landlord’s Property or respecting anything else whatsoever.
     26.16 Captions. The captions of the various Articles and Sections of this Lease are for convenience only and do not necessarily define, limit, describe or construe the contents of such Articles or Sections.
     26.17 Notice of Landlord’s Default. In the event of any alleged default in the obligation of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written notice stating the full details of the alleged default, and Landlord shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such alleged fault or, in the event of the alleged default cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, to commence

 


 

43
action to cure and proceed diligently to cure such alleged default. A copy of such notice to Landlord shall be sent to CCIDA, Bondholder and any holder of a mortgage or other encumbrance on the Building or Landlord’s Property of which tenant has been notified in writing, and CCIDA, Bondholder and any such holder shall also have the same time periods to cure such alleged default.
     26.18 Authority. Tenant and the party executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant each represents to Landlord that such party is authorized to execute this Lease for and on behalf of Tenant and thereby to bind Tenant to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
     26.19 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant respectively represent and warrant to each other that neither of them has consulted or negotiated with any broker or finder with regard to the Leased Premises except the Broker named in Article 1.00 (v), if any. Each party shall indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any claims for fees or commissions from anyone with whom either of them has consulted or negotiated with regard to the Leased Premises except the Broker. Landlord shall pay any fees or commissions due the Broker named in Article 1.00 (v), if any.
     26.20 Governing Law; Arbitration as to Matters other than Non-Payment of Rent and Additional Rent. This Lease will be governed by and construed and interpreted pursuant solely to the laws of the State of New York.

The award of the arbitrator may be enforced in accordance with the law of the State of New York.


 

44

     26.21 Force Majeure. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant (nor shall Tenant have any right to terminate this Lease except as otherwise set forth herein) nor shall Tenant have any liability to Landlord because of a party’s failure to perform any of its obligations in the Lease if such failure is due to reasons beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes or other labor difficulties; inability to obtain necessary governmental permits and approvals (including building permits or certificates of occupancy); unavailability or scarcity of materials; war; riot; civil insurrection; accidents; acts of God; and governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency or other governmental action. If Landlord or Tenant fails to perform its obligations because of any reasons beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s reasonable control (including those enumerated above), the period for Landlord’s or Tenant’s performance shall be extended day for day for the duration of such cause of Landlord’s failure. Except as otherwise set forth herein, if a force majeure prevents a party from performing a material obligation under and pursuant to this Lease for a period of three (3) months, the other party shall have the option of terminating this Lease on written notice to party who is prevented from performing such material obligation under this Lease by reason of force majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the parties agree that no force majeure shall excuse the Tenant from paying Base Rent or Additional Rent as set forth in this Lease all of which shall be absolutely and unconditionally due and payable at the respective times set forth in this Lease and no force majeure shall be grounds for the Tenant to claim that the Tenant is unable to pay such Base Rent or Additional Rent (except to the extent that Rent is to be abated as expressly provided in this Lease) or thus provide the Tenant with any right to cancel or terminate this Lease.
     26.22 Late Payments. Any payment of Rent, including, but not limited to, Base Monthly Rent, that is not received by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after it is due shall accrue interest at a charge of the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum (but in no event in an amount in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law) from the date on which it was due until the date on which it is paid in full with accrued interest.


 

45

     26.23 No Easements for Air or Light. Any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building shall in no way affect this leases or impose any liability on Landlord.
     26.24 Tax Credits. Landlord shall be entitled to claim and obtain all tax credits and depreciation attributable to leasehold improvements to the Leased Premises to the extent that the Tenant has not paid directly for same.
     26.25 Relocation of the Leased Premises — Intentionally omitted.
     26.26 Certain Fees. Intentionally omitted.
     26.27 Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, successors, and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, their assigns. Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.
ARTICLE 27.00 — Additional Space.
     During the Term of this Lease and any extension thereof, the Tenant shall have the option to Lease any available space in the Buildings provided that the Tenant pays to the Landlord the Base Annual Rent and Base Monthly Rent applicable to such space as set forth in Exhibit B in addition to all other items of Additional Rent applicable thereto together with all costs of renovation of the portions of the Buildings that the Tenant is desirous of leasing.
ARTICLE 28.00 — Surrender of Space.
     During the Term of this Lease and any extension thereof, the Tenant shall have the right to surrender space in the Buildings to the Landlord provided that the amount of space surrendered at any one time shall not be less than 10,000 square feet of contiguous space. As to any space so surrendered, the


 

46

Tenant shall be required to construct the appropriate demising wall and separate all utilities as to such space bringing such utilities to the outer walls of the space so surrendered. The Landlord and Tenant further agree that Tenant’s rights to surrender space in the Buildings shall be subject to the following limitations:
          A. The Tenant shall not be entitled to surrender any space until the second (2nd) anniversary date of the Commencement Date;
          B. The Tenant shall only be able to surrender space at the end of an annual anniversary date of the Commencement Date;
          C. The Tenant shall be required to give at least six (6) months written notice of the surrender of space to the Landlord;
          D. No space may be surrendered in Building No. 1 (also known as Building #100) as set forth in Exhibit A (the corporate headquarters building to be utilized by the Tenant) without the Landlord’s consent;
          E. Space may only be surrendered in increments of 10,000 square feet and only 10,000 square feet of space may be surrendered at the end of any single anniversary date of the Commencement Date;
          F. The maximum amount of space which may be surrendered during the Term of the Lease or any renewal thereof shall be equal to 30,000 square feet of space; and
          G. To the extent that the Tenant surrenders space in a building (e.g., Building No. 2 also known as Building # 300), the Landlord shall have the right at the Landlord’s cost and expense to relocate the Tenant from a building the Tenant is partially occupying (e.g., Building No. 4 also known as Building # 500) to the space that the Tenant has surrendered provided that the amount of space from which the Landlord desires to relocate the Tenant is equal to or less than the space which the Tenant has surrendered.


 

47

          H. As part of such surrender, to the extent that there are tenant build-out costs for such space which are not used by the next tenant of the space so surrendered, the Tenant will reimburse the Landlord for the unamortized cost of such tenant build-out costs which shall be computed assuming that all tenant build-out costs are amortized over a term of ten (10) years with interest at 7.15% per annum measured from the Commencement Date, which amount will be equal to determining the remaining principal balance of a loan in an amount of the tenant build-out costs amortized over ten (10) years with interest at the rate of 7.15% per annum. By way of example and not by way of limitation, if the tenant build-out costs applicable to the space surrendered are $50,000, and such space is surrendered after three (3) years of the Term applicable thereto, the remaining unamortized portion of the tenant build-out costs would be $38,533.93, which amount is equal to the remaining principal balance of a loan in the original principal amount of $50,000 amortized over ten (10) years with interest at the rate of 7.15% per annum after thirty-six (36) monthly payments of such loan have been paid.
ARTICLE 29.00 Renewal.
     29.01. Tenant’s Right of Renewal. Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term of this Lease for an additional five (5) years upon all the same terms and conditions as herein provided including the Base Annual Rent and Base Monthly Rent. If Tenant exercises said option, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term of this Lease for a second additional five (5) years upon all of the same terms and conditions as herein set forth except that the Base Annual Rent and the Base Monthly Rent during such renewal term shall be increased by ten percent (10%). In the event the Tenant desires to extend the Term of this Lease as set forth above, Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of the exercise of such options at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease or the expiration of the first five (5) year extension, as the case may be, and, upon the service of said notice, the Term of this Lease shall be extended upon all of its terms and conditions for an additional five (5) years without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument or document, provided, however, that if at either the date upon which the Tenant exercises such option of renewal or


 

48

the date of the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease, Tenant is in default beyond any grace period herein provided in the performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease, the extension of the Term of this Lease shall, at the option of the Landlord, be and become null and void.
     29.02. No Further Renewal Right. In the event that the Tenant renews this Lease as set forth above, the Tenant shall have no further right to renew this lease following the expiration of the second renewal term, it being the intention of the parties that the Tenant shall have the right to renew the Term of this Lease as described above for no more than ten (10) years beyond the expiration of the initial term of this Lease.
ARTICLE 30.00 Contingencies
     This Lease is contingent upon the Landlord satisfying the contingencies set forth in Exhibit D annexed hereto and made a part hereof. If each contingency set forth in Exhibit D is not satisfied with the time period for such contingency set forth in Exhibit D, the Landlord shall have the right to either: (i) waive such contingency and provide notice of the waiver of such contingency to the Tenant in which event this Lease shall no longer be contingent upon the satisfaction of such contingency; or (ii) cancel this Lease and provide notice to the Tenant of such cancellation in which event neither party shall have further rights or obligations under and pursuant to this Lease.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease by their respective duly authorized officers.

     The parties acknowledge that the above amounts for Base Annual Rent and Base Monthly Rent were based upon the Landlord receiving financing with respect to Landlord’s Project at an interest rate of 7.15% per annum with payments computed on the basis of a fifteen (15) year amortization period. The parties further acknowledge that, by reason of the Landlord receiving certain tax exempt financing through the Chemung County Industrial Development Agency based on the Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, the interest rate with respect to Landlord’s financing may be less than 7.15% per annum with the benefits of such lower financing resulting in a reduced Base Rent to the Tenant as set forth herein.

     Based on the foregoing, the parties agree that the Base Annual Rent and Base Monthly Rent to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord during each Lease Year of the original Term of the Lease (being the Term for 10 years) shall be reduced by the difference between:
(i) the annual amount of interest payable by Landlord to its bank or other financial institution with respect to the Landlord’s financing utilizing an assumed interest rate of 7.15% per annum and an amortization period of fifteen (15) years; and
(ii) the actual amount of interest payable by Landlord to its bank or other financial institution with respect to the Landlord’s financing utilizing the actual interest rate charged to Landlord and an amortization period of fifteen (15) years.
     The reduction in Base Annual Rent shall be determined as set forth above and divided by twelve (12) to determine the reductions in Base Monthly Rent.
     The parties acknowledge and agree that the 7.15% per annum rate set forth herein is an assumed rate for purposes of computing the reductions in rent payable by Tenant. No modifications in the Base Rent shall be made if a greater or lesser interest rate is actually obtained by Landlord except to the extent set forth herein.
     In the event of any refinancing by the Landlord, the above reductions in rent shall be re-computed. In such case, the parties agree that the Base Annual Rent and Base Monthly Rent to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord during each Lease Year of the original Term of the Lease or portions thereof following

 


 

EXHIBIT B
     
Landlord

such re-financing shall be reduced by the difference between:
(i) the annual amount of interest payable by Landlord to its bank or other financial institution with respect to the Landlord’s financing utilizing an assumed interest rate of 7.15% per annum for the balance of the original amortization period of fifteen (15) years; and
(ii) the actual amount of interest payable by Landlord to its bank or other financial institution with respect to the Landlord’s financing following such refinancing utilizing the actual interest rate charged to Landlord for the balance of the original amortization period of fifteen (15) years.
No refinancing undertaken by the Landlord shall operate to reduce the amount of reductions in the Base Rent payable by Tenant by reason of the tax exempt financing obtained by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
     The above reductions in rent shall be applicable solely with respect to the original ten (10) year Term of the Lease. In the event that the Tenant exercises its right to renew the term of this Lease and there was a rate change with respect to the Landlord’s financing as is anticipated at the end of the tenth (10th) year of the term of such financing, a similar calculation would be made to determine the difference in the interest payable by Landlord for the balance of the original fifteen (15) year amortization period if there was no tax exempt financing available to Landlord and the interest actually payable by Landlord with respect to the Landlord’s financing for the remainder of the original fifteen (15) year amortization period. In such event, Tenant would receive the difference between the amount of interest payable by Landlord had there been no tax

exempt financing and the amount of interest actually payable by Landlord by reason of such tax exempt financing.
     Notwithstanding anything contained herein, to the extent that tax exempt financing is no longer applicable to Landlord’s financing through no fault of the Landlord (e.g., based on Tenant’s change in use of the Leased Premises or otherwise), the above reductions in rent shall no longer be applicable.
     By way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the event that Landlord obtains financing in the sum of $5,024,690 with respect to the Project, the total amount of interest payable by Landlord with respect to such financing at an assumed interest rate of 7.15% per annum and an amortization period of fifteen (15) years would be $352,996.30 during the first year of the term of such financing (being deemed for purposes of this example to be the same as the first Lease Year) as set forth in the partial amortization schedule set forth in Page 7 of this Exhibit B. In the event that Landlord obtains tax exempt financing such that the interest rate with respect to Landlord’s financing is 6.00% per annum, the interest payable by Landlord with respect to such financing utilizing a fifteen (15) year amortization period is $295,683.64 during the first year of the term of such financing (being deemed for purposes of this example to be the same as the first Lease Year) as set forth in the partial amortization schedule set forth in Page 8 of this Exhibit B. The difference in such interest payments is $57,312.66 for such Lease Year. In such case, Tenant’s Base Annual Rent for such year shall be reduced by $57,312.66. Tenant’s Base Monthly Rent shall thus be reduced by the sum of $4,776.05 per month during such Lease Year. A similar procedure shall be utilized to calculate the reduction in Tenant’s Base Rent during each Lease Year.

     Continuing with the same example, in the event that there was a rate change with respect to the Landlord’s financing at the end of the tenth (10th) year of the term of such financing, a similar calculation would be made to determine the difference in the interest payable by Landlord for the balance of the original fifteen (15) year amortization period if there was no tax exempt financing available to Landlord and the interest actually payable by Landlord with respect to the Landlord’s financing for the remainder of the original fifteen (15) year amortization period.
     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, any extra fees and expenses incurred by the Landlord in obtaining tax exempt financing shall be paid by the Tenant or advanced by the Tenant to the Landlord or to the third party to whom the same are to be paid.
