of the Leased Premises, in which instance such assignment shall
become permanent and irrevocable with respect to such Leased
Premises), whereupon such assignment shall cease and all of the
Warranties shall automatically revert to Landlord. In confirmation
of such reversion Tenant shall execute and deliver promptly any
certificate of other document reasonably required by Landlord.

AND TENANT TO CREATE, AND THAT THIS LEASE CONSTITUTES, A SINGLE

CONTRARY POSITION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING; IT BEING FURTHER
UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY TENANT THAT THE BREAK-DOWN OF BASIC RENT
BY RELATED PREMISES INCLUDED IN EXHIBIT "D" HEREOF IS INCLUDED TO
PROVIDE A FORMULA FOR RENT ADJUSTMENT AND LEASE TERMINATION UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO TENANT. ANY EVENT

4.
Use of Leased Premises; Quiet Enjoyment .
(a) Tenant
may occupy and use the Leased Premises for any commercial purpose
(except for any noxious or manufacturing use and uses prohibited by
the Condominium Declaration) and for any ancillary uses incidental
thereto and for no other purpose without the prior written consent
of Landlord. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit any of the
Leased Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything
to be done in or on any of the Leased Premises, in a manner which
would or might (i) violate any Law, Legal Requirement or
Permitted Encumbrance, (ii) make void or voidable or cause any
insurer to cancel any insurance required by this Lease, or make it
impossible to obtain any such insurance at commercially reasonable
rates, (iii) cause structural injury to any of the
Improvements or (iv) constitute a public or private nuisance
or waste.
(b) Subject
to the provisions hereof, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall quietly hold, occupy and
enjoy the Leased Premises throughout the Term, without any
hindrance, ejection or molestation by Landlord or any Person
claiming by, through, or under Landlord with respect to matters
that arise after the date hereof, provided that Landlord or its
agents may enter upon and examine any of the Leased Premises during
normal business hours, upon not less than twenty-four
(24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant (except in
the case of any emergency, in which event only such notice as shall
be reasonable under the circumstances shall be required), and in a
manner which does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s
business or operations, for the purpose of inspecting the Leased
Premises, verifying compliance or non-compliance by Tenant with its
obligations hereunder and the existence or non-existence of an
Event of Default or event which with the passage of time and/or
notice would constitute an Event of Default, showing the Leased
Premises to prospective Lenders and purchasers, making any repairs
and taking such other action with respect to the Leased Premises as
is permitted by any provision hereof.
5. Term .
(a) Subject
to the provisions hereof, Tenant shall have and hold the Leased
Premises for an initial term (the " Initial Term ") (such
Initial Term, as extended or renewed in accordance with the
provisions hereof, being called the " Term ") commencing on
the Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the two hundred
fortieth (240 th )
month following the Commencement Date. Within three (3) days
of the Commencement Date occurring, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute an addendum to this Lease confirming the Commencement Date
and the months in which each Basic Rent Payment Date occurs,
provided, however, that the failure of either party to execute such
an addendum shall not alter that date upon which the Commencement
Date or any Basic Rent Payment Date occurs.
(b) Provided
that if, on or prior to the Expiration Date or any other Renewal
Date (as hereinafter defined) this Lease shall not have been
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof, then on the Expiration
Date and on the fifth (5 th
), tenth (10 th ) and fifteenth (15
th ) anniversaries
of the Expiration Date (the Expiration Date and each such
anniversary being referred to herein as a " Renewal Date "),
the Term shall be deemed to have been automatically extended for an
additional period of five (5) years (each such extension, a "
Renewal Term "), unless Tenant shall notify Landlord in
writing at least twelve (12) months prior to the
next
-10-
Renewal Date that Tenant is terminating this Lease as of the
next Renewal Date. Any such extension of the Term shall be subject
to all of the provisions of this Lease, as the same may be amended,
supplemented or modified (except that, in the case of the third
Renewal Term, Tenant shall not have the right to any additional
Renewal Terms).
(c) If
Tenant exercises its option pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) not to have
the Term automatically extended, then Landlord shall have the right
during the remainder of the Term then in effect and, in any event,
Landlord shall have the right during the last year of the Term, to
show any of the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers or
tenants or their agents during normal business hours upon not less
than twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice to Tenant
and in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant’s business or operations.
6.
Basic Rent .
(a) Tenant
shall pay to Landlord (i) as annual basic rent for the Leased
Premises during the Term, the amounts determined in accordance with
Paragraph I of Exhibit "D" hereto (" Basic Rent "),
payable quarterly in advance for the next three full calendar
months and commencing on the twenty-fifth day of each October,
January April and July during the Term (each such day being a "
Basic Rent Payment Date") and (ii) as annual additional
basic rent for the Leased Premises during the Term, the "Additional
Basic Rent" determined in accordance with Paragraph II of
Exhibit "D" payable annually within ninety (90) days of end of
each Fiscal Year of Tenant with respect to each Fiscal Year (each
such day being an " Additional Basic Rent Payment Date ").
Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Basic Rent with respect
to any period during the Term shall expressly survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. By way of
clarification, if an Additional Basic Rent Payment Date occurs
after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall remain bound to pay to Landlord such payment of Additional
Basic Rent with respect to the portion of the applicable Fiscal
Year occurring during the Term on such Additional Basic Rent
Payment Date notwithstanding that this Lease has expired or been
terminated. Each such rental payment shall be made to Landlord in
Federal Funds on each Basic Rent Payment Date or Additional Basic
Rent Payment Date, as applicable, pursuant to wire transfer
instructions delivered to Tenant from time to time and/or to such
one or more other Persons, pursuant to wire transfer instructions
delivered to Tenant from time to time at such addresses and in such
proportions as Landlord may direct by fifteen (15) days’
prior written notice to Tenant (in which event Tenant shall give
Landlord notice of each such payment concurrent with the making
thereof).
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and shall be continuing, Basic Rent for the period
commencing on the Commencement Date and ending ninety
(90) days thereafter shall abate in full and not be due and
payable hereunder, and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay
Additional Basic Rent with respect to any Gross Sales with respect
to such period. Pro rata Basic Rent for the period commencing on
the date the above referenced rent abatement expires until the last
day of the month in which the first full Basic Rent Payment Date
occurs, shall be paid on the first full Basic Rent Payment Date. By
way of example, if the Commencement Date is July 26, 2006, the
foregoing abatement shall expire on October 23, 2006 and on
October 25, 2006 Tenant shall pay to Landlord a regular
installment of Basic Rent for the next three calendar months plus
pro rata Basic Rent from October 24, 2006 through and
including October 31, 2006.

Premises first arising during the Term (including any material
deterioration following the Commencement Date with respect to any
matter that arose prior to the Commencement Date), (B) the
performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease,
(C) the exercise or enforcement by Landlord, its successors

under the Boca Parking Lease, (H) any other items specifically
required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, and (I) an
administrative fee of $10,000 payable to Landlord in connection
with any Exchange;
(ii) after
the date all or any portion of any installment of Basic Rent is due
and not paid by the applicable Basic Rent Payment Date, an amount
(the " Late Charge ") equal to three (3%) of the amount of
such unpaid installment or portion thereof to reimburse Landlord
for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a result of
Tenant’s delinquency, provided, however, that with respect to
the first late payment of all or any portion of any installment of
Basic Rent in any Lease Year, the Late Charge shall not be due and
payable unless the Basic Rent has not been paid within five
(5) days’ following notice thereof from Landlord to
Tenant that such installment is due and payable;

sum equal to any late charge in excess of the amount payable under

Lender as scheduled installments of principal and interest, and
fees of Lender’s counsel, which are payable by Landlord to

or non-payment of Basic Rent or by reason of an Event of Default;
and
(iv) interest
at the rate (the " Default Rate ") of five percent (5%) over
the Prime Rate per annum on the following sums until paid in full:
(A) all overdue installments of Basic Rent from the respective
due dates thereof, and (B) all overdue amounts of Additional
Rent relating to obligations which Landlord shall have paid on
behalf of Tenant pursuant to this Lease, from the date of payment
thereof by Landlord.
(b) Tenant
shall pay and discharge (i) any Additional Rent referred to in
Paragraph 7(a)(i) when the same shall become due, provided
that amounts which are billed to Landlord or any third party, but
not to Tenant, shall be paid within thirty (30) days after
Landlord’s demand for payment thereof, and (ii) any
other Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after
Landlord’s demand for payment thereof.
(c) In
no event shall amounts payable under Paragraph 7(a)(ii),
(iii) and (iv) or elsewhere in this Lease exceed the
maximum amount permitted by applicable Law.

otherwise provided in this Lease.
(b) This
Lease and the rights of Landlord and the obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall not be affected by any event or for any reason or
cause whatsoever foreseen or unforeseen, except as otherwise
provided in this Lease.
(c) The
obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent
covenants and agreements, all Monetary Obligations shall continue
to be payable in all events (or, in lieu thereof, Tenant shall pay
amounts equal thereto), and the obligations of Tenant hereunder
shall continue unaffected unless the requirement to pay or perform
the same shall have been terminated or abated pursuant to an
express provision of this Lease. All Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder shall constitute " rent " for all purposes
(including Section 502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code).
(d) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall have no right
and hereby waives all rights which it may have under any Law
(i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or any of the
Leased Premises, or (ii) to any Set-Off of any Monetary
Obligations.
9.
Payment of Impositions .
(a) Commencing
on the Commencement Date, subject to Paragraph 9(b) below, Tenant
shall, before interest or penalties are due thereon, pay directly
to the applicable governmental authority, all taxes (including real
and personal property, franchise, sales, use, gross receipts and
rent taxes), all charges payable pursuant to any Easement
Agreement, all assessments and levies, all permit, inspection and
license fees, all rents and charges for water, sewer, utility and
communication services relating to any of the Leased Premises, and
all other public charges whether of a like or different nature,
even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed
against (i) Tenant, (ii) Tenant’s possessory
interest in the Leased Premises, (iii) any of the Leased
Premises, or (iv) Landlord as a result of or arising in respect of
the ownership, occupancy, leasing, use or possession of any of the
Leased Premises, any activity conducted on any of the Leased
Premises, or the Rent (collectively, the " Impositions ");
provided that (1) Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for
any Impositions properly allocable to the period prior to the
Commencement Date, and (2) nothing herein shall obligate
Tenant to pay (A) income, excess profits or other taxes of
Landlord (or Lender) which are determined on the basis of
Landlord’s (or Lender’s) net income or net worth
(unless such taxes are in lieu of or a substitute for any other
tax, assessment or other charge upon or with respect to the Leased
Premises which, if it were in effect, would be payable by Tenant
under the provisions hereof or by the terms of such tax, assessment
or other charge), (B) any estate, inheritance, succession,
gift or similar tax imposed on Landlord or (C) any capital
gains tax imposed on Landlord in connection with the sale of the
Leased Premises to any Person. Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to pay, together with scheduled installments of
Basic Rent, the amount of the gross receipts or rent tax, if any,
payable with respect to the amount of such installment of Basic
Rent. If any Imposition may be paid in installments without
penalty, Tenant shall have the option to pay such Imposition in
installments. Tenant shall be liable only for Impositions or
installments thereof which become due and payable during the Term.
Tenant shall prepare and file all tax reports required by
governmental authorities which relate to the Impositions. Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord (1) copies of all settlements and
notices pertaining to the Impositions which may be issued by any
governmental authority within
-13-
ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof,
(2) receipts for payment of all taxes required to be paid by
Tenant hereunder within thirty (30) days after the due date
thereof and (3) receipts for payment of any other Impositions
within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request
therefor.
(b) If
an Event of Default occurs and Landlord is required by a Lender,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amounts (each an " Escrow
Payment ") quarterly or as required by such Lender (but not
more often than quarterly) so that there shall be in an escrow
account an amount sufficient to pay the Escrow Charges (as
hereinafter defined) as they become due. As used herein, "
Escrow Charges " shall mean: (i) real estate taxes and
assessments due and payable during the Term on or with respect to
the Leased Premises or payments in lieu thereof, and premiums on
any insurance required by this Lease; and (ii) any reserves
for capital improvements, deferred maintenance, repair and/or
tenant improvements and leasing commissions required by any Lender
following the occurrence of an Event of Default. Landlord shall
reasonably determine the amount of the Escrow Charges (it being
agreed that if required by a Lender, such amount shall equal any
corresponding escrow installments required to be paid by Landlord)
and the amount of each Escrow Payment. Escrow Charges for real
estate taxes and assessments and insurance premiums may be
commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons and no
interest thereon shall be due or payable to Tenant. Escrow Charges
listed in Paragraph 9(b)(ii) above shall be held in a separate
interest bearing money market or similar account and all interest
thereon shall become part of and applied to Escrow Payments.
Landlord shall apply the Escrow Payments to the payment of the
Escrow Charges in such order or priority as Landlord shall
determine or as required by Law but in no event later than when
same are due and payable. If at any time the Escrow Payments
theretofore paid to Landlord shall be insufficient for the payment
of the Escrow Charges, Tenant, within ten (10) days after
Landlord’s demand therefor, shall pay the amount of the
deficiency to Landlord. At the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, all Escrow Payments not applied as provided in this
Paragraph 9(b) shall be promptly refunded to Tenant, provided there
is not then an uncured Event of Default existing under this
Lease.
10.

shall, at its expense, comply with and conform to, and cause the
Leased Premises and any other Person occupying any part of the
Leased Premises to comply with and conform to, all Insurance
Requirements and Legal Requirements (including all applicable
Environmental Laws) , provided however, that Tenant shall not be
required to cause any Related Premises to be in compliance with any
Legal Requirement if, with respect to such violation, the
applicable Related Premises is "grandfathered" under applicable Law
with respect to such matter and as a result the applicable
governmental authority does not require immediate action. Tenant
shall not at any time (i) cause, permit or suffer to occur any
Tenant Environmental Violation or (ii) permit any sublessee,
assignee or other Person occupying the Leased Premises under or
through Tenant to cause, permit or suffer to occur any
Environmental Violation and, at the request of Landlord or Lender,
Tenant shall promptly undertake any reasonable and appropriate
response action to correct any existing Environmental Violation,
however immaterial, and (iii) without the prior written consent of
Landlord and Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or
extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface
or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or

shall be for the sole benefit of Tenant, Landlord and Lender and no
other Person shall have the right to rely on any such reports.

Paragraph 10(a), provided, however, that (i) any work
that will be completed as a part of the Tenant Improvements will
not be required to be completed until July 31, 2008 provided
that on or before
-14-
December 31, 2006 Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that
such work will be completed as a part of the Tenant Improvements,
and (ii) Tenant agrees to use reasonable efforts to in good
faith timely address any requirements imposed by any governmental
authority, applicable Law or any third party making a claim against
Landlord or the applicable Related Premises even if such time
period is shorter than the time periods otherwise required under
this sentence (unless such claim is being contested in accordance
with Paragraph 15(a) hereof), but Tenant shall not be expressly
required to take such actions prior to the time periods otherwise
set forth above.
(b) Tenant,
at its sole cost and expense, will at all times promptly and
faithfully abide by, discharge and perform all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements contained in any Easement Agreement on
the part of Landlord or the occupier to be kept and performed
thereunder. Neither Landlord nor Tenant will alter, modify, amend
or terminate any Easement Agreement, give any consent or approval
thereunder, or enter into any new Easement Agreement without, in
each case, prior written consent of the other party. Landlord will
not consent to or vote in favor of any modification or amendment to
the Condominium Declaration (or any regulations or rules
promulgated thereunder) which affects the use or occupancy of the
Boca Raton Premises (or the cost of operations thereat) or any
parking areas or allocation thereof, or any Impositions on the Boca
Raton Premises without the prior written consent of Tenant, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of
this Paragraph 10(b), Tenant shall have until June 30,
2007 to take such actions as may be required to comply with the
provisions of the first sentence of this Paragraph 10(b),

Tenant Improvements will not be required to be completed until
July 31, 2008 provided that, on or before December 31,
2006, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that such work will be
completed as a part of the Tenant Improvements and (ii) Tenant
agrees to use reasonable efforts to in good faith timely address
any requirements imposed by or under any Easement Agreement, any
governmental authority, applicable Law or any third party making a
claim against or claiming a violation by Landlord or the applicable
Related Premises even if such time period is shorter than the time
periods otherwise required under this sentence (unless such claim
is being contested in accordance with Paragraph 15(a) hereof), but
Tenant shall not be expressly required to take such actions prior
to the time periods otherwise set forth above.
(c) Upon
not less than five (5) days’ prior written notice from
Landlord, Tenant shall permit such persons as Landlord may
designate (" Site Reviewers ") to visit the Leased Premises
during normal business hours and in a manner which does not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business or operations
and perform, as agents of Tenant, environmental site investigations
and assessments (" Site Assessments ") on the Leased
Premises in any of the following circumstances: (i) in
connection with any sale, financing or refinancing of the Leased
Premises, (ii) within the six month period prior to the
expiration of the Term, (iii) if required by Lender or the
terms of any credit facility to which Landlord is bound,
(iv) if an Event of Default exists, or (v) at any other
time that, in the opinion of Landlord or Lender, a reasonable basis
exists to believe that an Environmental Violation or any condition
that could reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental
Violation exists. Such Site Assessments may include both above and
below the ground testing for Environmental Violations and such
other tests as may be necessary, in the opinion of the Site
Reviewers, to conduct the Site Assessments. Tenant shall supply to
the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information
regarding the Leased Premises as may be reasonably requested by the
Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments, and shall make
available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate
personnel having knowledge of such matters. The cost of performing
and reporting Site Assessments shall be paid by Landlord; provided,
however, in the case of a Site Assessment being performed as a
result of an event enumerated in (iv) or if as a result of a
Tenant Environmental Violation under (v) above, Tenant shall
bear the cost of such Site Assessment.
-15-
(d) If
a Tenant Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist and,
in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the cost of remediation
of, or other response action with respect to, the same is likely to
exceed $500,000, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within ten
(10) days after Landlord’s request therefor, adequate
financial assurances that Tenant will effect such remediation in
accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.
(e) If
Tenant fails to comply with any requirement of any Environmental
Law in connection with any Tenant Environmental Violation which
occurs or is found to exist, Landlord shall have the right (but no
obligation) to take any and all actions as Landlord shall deem
necessary or advisable in order to cure such Environmental
Violation.
(f) Tenant
shall notify Landlord within ten (10) days after becoming
aware of any Environmental Violation (or alleged Environmental
Violation) or noncompliance with any of the covenants contained in
this Paragraph 10 and shall forward to Landlord within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof copies of all orders, reports,
notices, permits, applications or other communications relating to
any such violation or noncompliance.

future leases, subleases or concession agreements relating to the
Leased Premises entered into by Tenant shall contain covenants of
the other party thereto which are identical to the covenants
contained in Paragraph 10(a).

exists.

other document or agreement executed in connection with any Loan,
the Permitted Encumbrances and any mortgage, lien, encumbrance or

the Leased Premises, and shall cause a memorandum of this Lease
(or, if such a memorandum cannot be recorded, this Lease), and any

such places as may be required or permitted by any present or
future Law in order to protect the validity and priority of this
Lease.

December 31, 2006 Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that
such work will be completed as a part of the Tenant Improvements,
and (ii) Tenant agrees to use reasonable efforts to in good
faith timely address any requirements imposed by any governmental
authority, applicable Law or any third party making a claim against
Landlord or the applicable Related Premises even if such time
period is shorter than the time periods otherwise required under

Alterations or a series of related non-structural Alterations to
any Related Premises that are decorative in nature and consistent
with Tenant’s normal business practice of upgrading the "look
and feel" of other real properties owned or operated by it
(collectively, the " Decorative Alterations "), (ii) to

the cost of any non-structural Alterations (other than Decorative
Alterations), series of related non-structural Alterations (other
than Decorative Alterations), Equipment or accessions thereto is in
excess of $1,000,000 (other than with respect to the construction

Alterations to any Related Premises, the prior written approval of
Landlord and Lender shall be required. Tenant shall not construct
upon the Land any additional buildings without having first
obtained the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender. Landlord
shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any Alterations
except for Decorative Alterations, the Tenant Improvements,
Alterations required by Law or for which Landlord has agreed in
writing, or is deemed to have approved pursuant to the following
sentence, that removal will not be required. If Tenant desires not
to remove any Alterations at the expiration of the Term, Tenant
shall provide to Landlord written notice specifying the Alterations
for which it is requesting agreement that removal will not be
required (which notice may be given by Tenant at any time during
the Term (including, without limitation, at the time Tenant seeks
any required approval from Landlord pursuant to this
Paragraph 13)). If Landlord does not disapprove such request
by Tenant within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice,
such approval shall be deemed given. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant be required to
remove any Decorative Alterations or Tenant Improvements.
(b) If
Tenant makes any Alterations pursuant to this Paragraph 13 or
as required by Paragraph 12 or 17 (such Alterations and actions
being hereinafter collectively referred to as " Work "),
then (i) the market value of the Leased Premises shall not be
lessened by any such Work, (ii) all such Work shall be
performed by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner,
(iii) all such Work shall be expeditiously completed in
compliance with all Legal Requirements, (iv) all such Work
shall comply with the requirements of all insurance policies
required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, (v) if any such
Work involves the replacement of Equipment or parts thereto, all
replacement Equipment or parts shall have a value and useful life
equal to the greater of (A) the value and useful life on the
date hereof of the Equipment being replaced or (B) the value
and useful life of the Equipment being replaced immediately prior
to the occurrence of the event which required its replacement
(assuming such replaced Equipment was then in the condition
required by this Lease), (vi) Tenant shall promptly discharge
or remove all liens filed against any of the Leased Premises
arising out of such Work, (vii) Tenant shall procure and pay

the assignment to Landlord of all estate, right, title and interest
(other than the leasehold estate created hereby) of Tenant or any
other Person thereto or therein, and (ix) Tenant shall comply,
to the extent requested by Landlord or required by this Lease, with
the provisions of Paragraphs 12(a) and 19(a), whether or not such
Work involves restoration of the Leased Premises.
(c) Subject
to and conditioned upon Landlord fully performing its obligations
under Paragraphs 13(c) and 13(d) hereof, Tenant covenants and
agrees to make in the aggregate not less than Twenty-five Million
($25,000,000.00) Dollars of Alterations to the Improvements
(including Decorative Alterations) in order to renovate each
Related Premises (the " Tenant Improvements "), which Tenant
Improvements shall be completed and paid for in full no later than
July 31, 2008 (the " Completion Date "). For the
purposes of meeting the preceding
-18-
Twenty-five Million ($25,000,000) Dollar Tenant Improvement
requirement, not more than Five Million ($5,000,000) may be
allocated to Tenant’s Property. Such Alterations shall be
constructed in accordance with the terms of this Lease, including,
but not limited to, Paragraph 13(b) hereof. All of the
Tenant’s Equipment shall be the property of Tenant and all
other Tenant Improvements shall be the property of Landlord. In
exchange for Tenant’s agreement to construct the Tenant
Improvements, (i) Tenant shall not be required to pay Basic
Rent under certain circumstances in accordance with the provisions
of the last sentence of Paragraph 6(b) hereof (with the amount of
such Basic Rent otherwise payable during this period being
$2,322,416.50), (ii) Landlord will convey to Tenant certain
other real properties (the " TI Allowance Properties ")
having an agreed upon aggregate value of $10,000,000.00 pursuant to
a purchase and sale agreement by and between Landlord and Tenant
dated as of the date hereof, and (iii) Landlord will pay to
Tenant the TI Allowance in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 13 (d) below. Prior to constructing the Tenant
Improvements with respect to any Related Premises, Tenant shall
submit to Landlord a budget and plans and specifications with
respect to the Tenant Improvements for such Related Premises. The
consent of Landlord of the budget and plans shall not be required
so long as the Work to be performed complies with the requirements
set forth in Paragraph 13(b) hereof. Tenant’s failure to
complete the Tenant Improvements on or before the Completion Date
shall not be a default hereunder to the extent such delay is a
direct result of strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, shortage of
labor or materials, national emergency, acts of a public enemy,
governmental restrictions, laws or regulations, or any other cause
beyond Tenant’s reasonable control.
(d) The
TI Allowance shall be advanced to Tenant in not more than two
advances, provided that Landlord shall not be required to make any
advance of the TI Allowance unless and until Tenant has delivered
to Landlord paid receipts evidencing that Tenant has completed and
paid for $12,322,416.50 of the Tenant Improvements (exclusive of
any portion allocated to Tenant’s Property). Each request for
an advance by Tenant shall be accompanied by (i) copies of
paid receipts supporting the amount requested and including a
reasonably detailed description of the Work that is the subject of
each paid receipt, and (ii) a certificate executed by Tenant
confirming (1) that the Work that is the subject to such
request for advance has been paid for in full and completed in
accordance with the budget and plans previously submitted to
Landlord and the terms of this Lease and (2) that no Event of
Default then exists (or, if an Event of Default does exist,
specifying the applicable default). Provided that the request for
advance complies with the terms of this Paragraph 13(d),
Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount requested in such request
for advance within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request
for advance, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required
to make any advance during any period while an Event of Default
exists.
(e) Promptly
following the date upon which all of the Tenant Improvements are
completed, Tenant shall (i) provide written documentation
evidencing payment of the amounts required to be paid by Tenant
under Paragraph 21(c) (including paid invoices) have been paid, and
(ii) provide a written certification from Tenant confirming
that the Tenant Improvements have been completed in accordance with
the terms of this Paragraph 13(c). Landlord shall have the
right at Landlord’s costs and expense to cause a consultant
selected by Landlord confirm whether or not the Tenant Improvements

provisions of this Lease.

Imposition, (b) discharge or remove any lien referred to in
Paragraph 11 or 13, (c) take any action with respect to
any encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment
referred to in Paragraph 12(b), or (d) comply with any
Law or Easement Agreement with respect to the Leased Premises (such
non-compliance with the terms hereof being hereinafter referred to
collectively as " Permitted Violations ") and may dispute or
contest the same, so long as at the time of such non-compliance no
Event of Default
-19-
exists and so long as Tenant shall contest, in good faith, the
existence, amount or validity thereof, the amount of the damages
caused thereby, or the extent of its or Landlord’s liability
therefor by appropriate proceedings which shall operate during the
pendency thereof to prevent or stay (i) the collection of, or
other realization upon, the Permitted Violation so contested,
(ii) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Leased
Premises or any Rent to satisfy or to pay any damages caused by any
Permitted Violation, (iii) any interference with the use or
occupancy of any of the Leased Premises, (iv) any interference
with the payment of any Rent, or (v) the cancellation or
increase in the rate of any insurance policy or a statement by the
carrier that coverage will be denied. While any proceedings which
comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 14 are pending
and the required security is held by Landlord, Landlord shall not
have the right to correct any Permitted Violation thereby being
contested unless Landlord is required by Law to correct such
Permitted Violation and Tenant’s contest does not prevent or
stay such requirement as to Landlord. Each such contest shall be
promptly and diligently prosecuted by Tenant to a final conclusion,
except that Tenant, so long as the conditions of this
Paragraph 14 are at all times complied with, has the right to
attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations.
Tenant shall pay any and all losses, judgments, decrees and Costs
in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the
final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the
amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be
determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith,
together with all penalties, fines, interest and Costs thereof or
in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of
which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. No such
contest shall subject Landlord to the risk of any criminal
liability.

reason of any such claim, (i) Tenant may, except in the event
of a conflict of interest or a dispute between Tenant and any such
Indemnitee or during the continuance of an Event of Default, retain
its own counsel and defend such action (it being understood that
Landlord may employ counsel of its choice to monitor the defense of
any such action, the reasonable cost of which shall be paid by
Tenant) and (ii) such Indemnitee shall notify Tenant to resist
or defend such action or proceeding by retaining counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee will cooperate
and assist in the defense of such action or proceeding if
reasonably requested to do so by Tenant. In the event of a conflict
of interest or dispute or during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Landlord shall have the right to select counsel, and the
cost of such counsel shall be paid by Tenant.

Casualty and Condemnation .
(a) If
any Casualty to a Related Premises occurs the insurance proceeds
for which are reasonably estimated by Tenant to be equal to or in
excess of $100,000 , Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender
immediate notice thereof. So long as (i) no Event of Default
exists and (ii) Tenant has not given a Termination Notice to
Landlord, Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust, collect and
compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required
by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability insurance claims
payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and to
execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary
-23-
proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the
insurers and Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant
therein. Any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such
claim which is reasonably estimated by Landlord to result in
proceeds in excess of $450,000, shall be subject to the reasonable
prior written approval of Landlord, and, with respect thereto,
Landlord shall have the right to prosecute or contest, or to
require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment,
settlement or compromise. If any final adjustment, settlement or
compromise of any such claim is reasonably estimated by Landlord to
result in proceeds of less than or equal to $450,000 and so long as
no Event of Default exists and Tenant has not given a Termination
Notice to Landlord, then such adjustment, settlement or compromise
shall not require the approval of Landlord. If an Event of Default
exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or
compromise any such claim or to participate with Landlord in any
adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in
connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request
of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and
releases. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make
payment under said policies, including return of unearned premiums,
directly to Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender
instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby
appoints each of Landlord and Lender as Tenant’s
attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. The rights of
Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) shall be extended to Lender if
and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(b) Tenant,
immediately upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify
Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists,
Tenant is authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount
of any Net Award and Landlord shall have the right to join with
Tenant herein. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord shall be
authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net
Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with Landlord
in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof
or to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award
therefor. No agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under
threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the
written consent of Landlord. Subject to the provisions of this
Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord
any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by
reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or
payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or
otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s
right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s
Property, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the
extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to
make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the
condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce
either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for
the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the applicable
Related Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise
payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest
hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall
also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage
so provides
