(c) Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of conducting such inspections,tests and studies as Landlord may deem desirable or necessary to confirm Tenant's compliance with all Laws and Environmental Laws or for other purposes necessary in Landlord's reasonable judgment to ensure the sound condition of the Building and the systems serving the Building.

(d) Landlord may do any of the foregoing, or undertake any of the inspection or work described in the preceding paragraphs without such action constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, or giving rise to an abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of business of the Tenant, or otherwise. 7.03 QUIET ENJOYMENT - Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises without hindrance or interference from Landlord or those claiming through Landlord, but at all times subject to the rights of any Mortgagee or ground lessor.

If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord ("Tenant's Notice"), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least sixty (60)/3/ days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Article 10.02 within thirty (30)/4/ days after receipt of Tenant's Notice (and all required information).

In no event shall Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed (i) sublease of the Premises or assignment of the Lease if a Default then exists under the Lease, or a fact or condition exists, which but for the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a Default, or (ii) assignment of the Lease which would assign less than the entire Premises. In the event Tenant believes that Landlord has wrongfully withheld its consent to any proposed sublease of the Premises or assignment of the Lease, Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance or a declaratory judgment of Landlord's obligations to consent to such sublease or assignment. (c) If Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as provided in Article 10.02, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Article 10.01.

Any such subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee's assumption of such obligations and liabilities. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises.

Furthermore, Tenant shall remain jointly and severally liable to perform all terms and conditions of this Lease, notwithstanding any sublease or assignment to which Landlord may have consented. (d) For purposes of this Article Ten, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of law or otherwise if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment.

All such costs will be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles. 10.04 TENANT LIABILITY - In the event of any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent expressly permitted by Landlord. If Landlord grants consent to such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. In addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the term of this Lease or to add other space to the Premises, such options shall not be - ---------------------- /6/ seventy-five percent (75%) 15 available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord's express written consent, which may be given, or not given, in Landlord's sole discretion. 10.05 ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT - If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment.

(b) In the event that Landlord terminates the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, the accelerated Rent for the balance of the Term, plus all Landlord's expenses of reletting, including without limitation, repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions (collectively, the "Reletting Expenses"). (c) In the event Landlord proceeds pursuant to subparagraph (a)(ii) above, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to (except as may be required by law), relet the Premises, or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. For purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are relet and the consideration realized therefrom after payment of all Landlord's Reletting Expenses, is insufficient to satisfy the payment when due of Rent reserved under this Lease for any monthly period, then Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand any such deficiency monthly, or at Landlord's option, Tenant shall pay the accelerated deficiency which Landlord reasonably estimates will be due for the remainder of the Term. If such consideration is greater than the amount necessary to pay the full amount of the Rent, the full amount of such excess shall be retained by Landlord and shall in no event be payable to Tenant. Tenant agrees that upon its Default, Landlord may either file suit to collect the accelerated Rent and all other sums due for the remainder of the Term, or may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time, in which event such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. (d) In the event a Default occurs, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's property, fixtures, furnishings, signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold such property; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent reserved hereunder for the full Term or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in the Landlord's possession or under the Landlord's control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as a bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant. 11.03 ATTORNEY'S FEES - Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay upon demand, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in enforcing the Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease, or resulting from Tenant's Default (regardless of whether suit is initiated), or incurred by Landlord in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord, without Landlord's fault, to become involved or concerned. 11.04 BANKRUPTCY - The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant: (a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee. (b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant's trustee (the "Electing Party") must provide for: The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable. (c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this 17 Lease. For the purposes hereof, "adequate assurance of future performance" means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; and (ii) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable. (d) Landlord's acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord's consent, Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord's claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.
