ARTICLE 2.
RENT

     2.01 Base Rent . Tenant shall pay an annual base rent (hereinafter referred to as “ Base Rent ”) for the Premises to Landlord, without notice or demand in equal monthly installments.

Annual Base Rent for the first Lease Year shall equal One Million Two Hundred Sixty-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Fourteen and No/100 Dollars ($1,269,514.00) per Lease Year. The Base Rent for each subsequent Lease Year period during the Term, shall increase two percent (2%) from the Base Rent payable in the prior Lease Year period (See Schedule 2.01 attached hereto and made a part hereof). Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments (hereinafter referred to as “ Monthly Base Rent ”), in advance, on the first (1st) day of the Term and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter of the Term, and at the same rate for fractions of a month if the Term begins on any day except the first day of a calendar month or ends on any day except the last day of a calendar month. The first installment of Monthly Base Rent or the appropriate portion thereof if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, shall be due and payable on the Commencement Date.

     2.02 Manner of Payment . Base Rent, Rent Adjustments (as defined below), and all other amounts becoming due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Rent ”) shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at 2023 Paysphere Circle, Chicago, Illinois 60674, or as otherwise designated from time to time by written notice from Landlord to Tenant.

     2.03 Net Lease . It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and that any Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and other items of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events, and that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease or by operation of law. This is a net lease and Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, Impositions, and all other items of Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid without notice or demand, and without setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, deduction, reduction or defense, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein. Tenant shall enforce any rights against Landlord in an independent action. This Lease shall not terminate, and Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease, during the Term (except as otherwise expressly provided herein). Except as provided under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord, Tenant agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, it shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease notwithstanding (i) the exercise of any remedy, including foreclosure, under any mortgage (subject to Tenant’s non-disturbance rights), (ii) any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by Landlord under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, (iii) the taking of the Premises or any portion thereof (except as specifically provided in Article 15 hereof), (iv) the prohibition or restriction of Tenant’s use of the Premises under any laws or otherwise unless attributable to the intentional misconduct of Landlord, or (v) the destruction of the Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease is a true lease and does not represent a financing agreement. Each party shall reflect the transaction represented hereby in all applicable books, records and reports (including income tax filings) in a manner consistent with “true lease” treatment rather than “financing” treatment to the extent permitted by law and applicable accounting principles.

     2.04 Definition of CPI Adjustment. The “CPI Adjustment” means the increase in the applicable amount by multiplying the applicable amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is

the CPI published for the last calendar month, 3 months immediately prior to the last month of such applicable Lease Year Period and the denominator of which is the CPI published for the calendar month, 3 months immediately preceding the start of the Commencement Date. As used in this Lease, “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. All Items (1982-84 = 100) as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or if the publication of that index is discontinued, such other reliable governmental or other reputable publication reasonably selected by Landlord which reflects the then broad range of economic factors represented in the Consumer Price Index as to such location.

     2.05 Fair Value. For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Value” shall mean (subject to further determination below) Landlord’s determination, utilizing its reasonable judgment, of an annual amount per rentable square foot for a term equivalent to the period for which Fair Value is being determined beginning with the first (1st) day of the subject period that a willing tenant leasing comparable space to the Premises would pay and a willing landlord in the metropolitan area where the Premises are located (the “Market”) would accept at arm’s length, giving appropriate consideration to annual rental rate per rentable square foot, rental escalations, concessions, abatements, tenant improvement allowances, length of lease term, size and location of the premises being leased, and other generally applicable terms and conditions prevailing for comparable space in comparable properties located in the Market. Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent amount shall be provided to Tenant within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s exercise of its Extension Option notice (“Base Rent Notice”). In the event Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s Fair Value determination as set forth in the Base Rent Notice, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Base Rent Notice, furnish Landlord with a written notice of its objection (“Tenant’s Objection Notice”). If Tenant’s Objection Notice is not delivered to Landlord within said 30-day period, the Base Rent shall be the Base Rent set forth in the Base Rent Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers Tenant’s Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall then have thirty (30) days (the “Negotiation Period”), to use good faith efforts to reach an agreed upon Base Rent amount for the applicable Extension Period. If Tenant’s Objection Notice is delivered to Landlord and Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement, the Base Rent for the Extension Period shall be established as follows:

          (a) No later than twenty (20) days following expiration of the Negotiation Period, Tenant and Landlord shall each select an appraiser of their choice and give the other written notice of such appraiser’s name, address and telephone number. The two appraisers shall then have thirty (30) days to agree upon the Fair Value.

          (b) If the two appraisers can not agree upon Fair Value within said thirty (30) day period, then the two appraisers so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall select a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days after expiration of said thirty (30) day period, and shall furnish Landlord and Tenant written notice of such third appraiser’s name, address and telephone number. The three appraisers shall each then have thirty (30) days to make their determination as to Fair Value and to notify Landlord and Tenant.

          (c) All appraisers selected pursuant to this provision shall be M.A.I. appraisers, unless Landlord and Tenant shall otherwise agree in writing, each having at least ten (10) years experience with commercial property in the Market. Each of the three (3) selected appraisers shall then determine the Fair Value of the Premises for the applicable Extension

Period and the Base Rent hereunder, as applicable, shall be determined to be the average of two (2) closest appraisals for each such Extension Period.

          If the procedure set forth above is implemented, and if for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, the institution of any judicial or other legal proceedings, the Base Rent for the Extension Period has not been finally determined prior to the first day of said Extension Period, then the amount of the Base Rent previously payable under the Lease for the prior period shall be the Base Rent previously payable under this Lease until such time as the Base Rent is finally determined as set forth above, and Landlord and Tenant shall, by appropriate payments to the other, correct any overpayment or underpayment which may have been made prior to such final determination.

          If the appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant fail to appoint the third appraiser within the time and in the manner prescribed above, then Landlord and/or Tenant shall promptly apply to the nearest office to where the Premises are located of the American Arbitration Association for the appointment of the third appraiser.

          All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the appraisals and the arbitration procedure set forth in this section shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant; however, Landlord and Tenant shall each bear their own attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to this procedure and the cost of the appraiser selected directly by such party.

     2.06 Additional Rent . All amounts and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition to the Base Rent described in Section 2.01 above (including, without limitation, Rent Adjustments and payments for Impositions) shall be considered additional rent for the purposes of this Lease, and the word “ rent ” in this Lease shall include such additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies otherwise.

     2.07 Late Charge/Interest . Tenant acknowledges that its late payment of Base Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Therefore, if any future payment of Base Rent, or any portion thereof, is not received by Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due, then upon the second occurrence of any late payment of Base Rent in any twelve (12) month period and thereafter during such twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the unpaid amount (“ Late Charge ”). Such Late Charge is in addition to any interest due pursuant to the Delinquency Rate pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 2.05. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Late Charge (plus interest) represents a reasonable estimate of costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from, and is fair compensation to Landlord for, its loss suffered by such non payment by Tenant. If any installment of Base Rent is not paid prior to a Default occurring, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the payment of interest at the Default Rate on such unpaid installment of rent from the date such installment became due and payable through the date payment was made by Tenant.

     2.08 Late Fees, Default Interest and other Penalties under the Restrictions . If Tenant fails to pay any amount owing under the Restrictions, and a late fee or default interest, or other penalty is imposed on or becomes due and payable by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord

upon demand any such amount so charged. Landlord may elect to pay such amount to the party entitled thereto prior to any payment by Tenant hereunder, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such amount within twenty (20) business days after Landlord’s demand therefor.

ARTICLE 3.
IMPOSITIONS

     3.01 Tenant to Pay Taxes . In addition to the Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord, to be held in a tax escrow account (the “Tax Escrow”), the Tax Adjustment Deposit described in this Section 3.01. The Tax Escrow will be a separate account held at a financial institution and not be commingled with Landlord’s other assets or accounts. Interest will be paid on all sums held in the Tax Escrow at prevailing market rates. Until such time as Tenant receives the first Adjustment Statement provided for in clause (c) of this Section 3.01, Tenant shall, commencing on July 1, 2008 and on the first day of each and every month thereafter, make the Initial Monthly Tax Deposit specified herein.

          (a) For the purposes of this Lease:

     (i) The term “ Lease Year ” shall mean the one year period beginning July 1, 2008 and ending June 30, 2009 and each subsequent one year period thereafter during the Term.

     (ii) The term “ Initial Monthly Tax Deposit ” shall mean Thirty Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($39,725.00) for Taxes, as may be adjusted from Lease Year to Lease Year.

     (iii) The term “ Tax Adjustments ” shall mean all amounts owed by Tenant as on account of Taxes.

     (iv) The term “ Tax Adjustment Deposit ” shall mean an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tax Adjustments due for any Lease Year made from time to time during the Term.

     (v) The term “ Taxes ” shall mean real estate taxes, assessments, sewer rents, rates and charges, transit taxes, taxes based upon the receipt of rent, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, which accrue during the Term and are levied or assessed or become a lien against the Project or any portion thereof in any Lease Year during the Term and any tax in substitution of any of the foregoing. If for any special assessment imposed on the Project the assessing authority permits Tenant to pay the special assessment in installments, then only the amount of each installment, as and when so permitted to be paid, shall be included in Taxes for the period during which such installment would become payable by Tenant, whether or not Tenant actually elects to pay such special assessments in such permitted installments.

          (b) The amount of Taxes attributable to a Lease Year shall be the amount assessed for any such Lease Year, even though the assessment for such Taxes may be payable in

a different Lease Year. Tenant shall pay directly all Taxes payable in calendar year 2008 and the first installment of 2008 Taxes payable in 2009. The funds held in the Tax Escrow shall first be used to pay the second Installment of Taxes for the 2008 tax year due and payable in 2009 and Landlord thereafter will make available or pay when presented the Taxes for all subsequent Lease Years. Each Lease Year thereafter, the Initial Monthly Tax Deposit shall be reduced or increased as appropriate to fund or credit Tenant for interest, overages or deficiencies in the Tax Escrow and such that sufficient funds are available to pay all Taxes when due.

          (c) As soon as reasonably feasible after the expiration of each Lease Year, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement (“ Adjustment Statement ”) showing the following:

     (i) Taxes for the Lease Year last ended and the amount of Taxes due and payable by Tenant for such Lease Year;

     (ii) The amount of Tax Adjustments due Landlord for the Lease Year last ended, less credits for Tax Adjustment Deposits paid, if any;

     (iii) The Tax Adjustment Deposit due for the current Lease Year as reasonably determined; and

     (iv) Interest earned on funds held in the Tax Escrow.

Upon request from Tenant, Landlord shall provide supporting documentation for the Taxes and interest payments included in the Lease Year covered by the Adjustment Statement.

          (d) Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of each Adjustment Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:

     (i) The amount of Tax Adjustment shown on said statement to be due Landlord for the Lease Year last ended; plus

     (ii) The amount, which when added to the Tax Adjustment Deposit theretofore paid in the current Lease Year, would provide that Landlord has then received such portion of the Tax Adjustment Deposit as would have theretofore been paid to Landlord had Tenant paid one-twelfth (1/12) of the Tax Adjustment Deposit, for the current Lease Year, to Landlord monthly on the first day of each month of such Lease Year.

     Commencing on the first day of the first month after Tenant’s receipt of each Adjustment Statement, and on the first day of each month thereafter until Tenant receives a revised or updated Adjustment Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the Tax Adjustment Deposit shown on said statement. During the last complete Lease Year, Landlord may include in the Tax Adjustment Deposit its reasonable estimate of the Tax Adjustment which may not be finally determined until after the expiration of the Term. The Tenant’s obligation to pay the Tax Adjustment accruing during the Term shall survive the Term. Landlord shall promptly repay to Tenant at the expiration of the Term and promptly after determination thereof,

any overpayment made by Tenant with respect to Taxes, which obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease.

          (e) Tenant’s payment of the Tax Adjustment Deposit for each Lease Year shall be credited against the Tax Adjustments for such Lease Year. All Tax Adjustment Deposits may not be commingled and shall be held in a separate interest bearing account for the benefit of Tenant.

          (f) Tenant or its representative shall have the right to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to the items in the Adjustment Statement during normal business hours at any time following the furnishing by Landlord to Tenant of such Adjustment Statement. Any amount due to Landlord as shown on any such Adjustment Statement, whether or not written exception is taken thereto, shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have submitted the Adjustment Statement, without prejudice to, any such written exception.

     3.02 In addition to the Tax Adjustments, provided Landlord makes the funds in the Tax Escrow available, Tenant shall pay or cause the Taxes to be paid, in a timely manner and as hereinafter provided. Each such installment of Taxes, shall be paid before the last day the same may be paid without fine, penalty, interest or additional cost; provided, however, that if, by law, any Taxes may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments only, provided that all such installment payments relating to periods prior to the date definitely fixed for the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of the Lease are required to be made prior to the Expiration Date or such termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.01 to the contrary, “ Taxes ” shall include all charges which are assessed, levied or imposed, which actually become due and payable during the Term, or which otherwise arise during the Term but which are not due and payable until after the expiration of the Term, and Tenant shall promptly pay such items as and when they become due and payable.

     3.03 Receipt of Payment . If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, within thirty (30) business days after such request (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary to avoid a default under any relevant agreement or penalty under law), evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord evidencing the payment of the Imposition.

     3.04 Fiscal Periods . Any Taxes accruing with respect to the Premises, relating to a fiscal period of the imposing authority, a part of which period is included within the Term and a part of which is included in a period of time after the expiration of the Term hereof shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant. The foregoing obligations shall survive expiration or termination of the Term.

     3.05 Contest . Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, after payment of such Taxes, unless such payment would operate as a bar to such contest, in which event, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof, payment of such Taxes shall be postponed if and only as long as:

          (a) neither the Premises nor any part thereof would, by reason of such postponement or deferment, be, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, in danger of being forfeited, lost or adversely affected;

          (b) such contest shall not subject Landlord or any Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) to the risk of any criminal or civil liability; and

          (c) such contest shall not constitute a default under the Restrictions.

          Upon the termination of such proceedings, it shall be the obligation of Tenant to pay the amount of such Taxes or part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), interest, penalties or other liabilities in connection therewith, and upon such payment, Landlord or Depositary, as the case may be, shall pay to Tenant, with any interest accrued thereon, any amount deposited with it in respect of such Taxes as aforesaid, provided, however, that Landlord or Depositary, as the case may be, if requested by Tenant, shall disburse said moneys on deposit with it directly to the imposing authority to whom such Taxes is payable.

     3.06 Reduction of Assessed Valuation . Subject to the provisions of Section 3.05, Tenant shall have the right to seek a reduction in the assessed valuation of the Premises for real property tax purposes and to prosecute any action or proceeding in connection therewith.

     3.07 Joinder of Landlord . Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in Section 3.05 or 3.06 hereof unless the provisions of any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such proceedings be brought by and/or in the name of Landlord, in which event, Landlord shall join and reasonably cooperate in such proceedings but shall not be liable for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceedings, and Tenant shall reimburse and indemnify Landlord for any and all costs or expenses which Landlord may sustain or incur in connection with any such proceedings.

     3.08 Evidence of Imposition . Any certificate, advice or bill of the appropriate official designated by law to make or issue the same or to receive payment of any Imposition asserting nonpayment of such Imposition shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and unpaid at the time of the making or issuance of such certificate, advice or bill.

ARTICLE 4.
USE

     4.01 Use . Tenant may use and occupy the Premises for any lawful purpose. Tenant shall have no obligation to operate within the Premises. Tenant shall not permit the Premises, or any portion thereof, to be used in such manner which impairs Landlord’s right, title or interest in the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner which gives rise to a claim or claims of adverse possession or of a dedication of the Premises, or any portion thereof, for public use. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises or permit the Premises to be used or occupied (i) contrary to any Restriction or any statute, rule, order, ordinance, requirement, regulation or restrictive covenant applicable thereto, and shall at all times comply with same, (ii) in any manner which would violate any certificate of occupancy, (iii) in any manner which would

render the insurance void, (iv) in any manner which would cause structural injury to the Building, (v) in any manner which would cause the value or usefulness of the Premises or any part thereof to permanently diminish or (vi) in a manner which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste. Tenant agrees that it will, promptly upon discovery of any such use, promptly notify Landlord and take all necessary steps to compel the discontinuance of such use.

ARTICLE 5.
UTILITIES

     5.01 Payment for Utilities . During the Term, Tenant will pay, when due, all charges of every nature, kind or description for utilities furnished to the Premises or chargeable against the Premises, including all charges for water, sewage, heat, gas, light, garbage, electricity, telephone, steam, power, or other public or private utility services. Prior to commencement of the Term, Tenant shall pay for all utilities or services at the Premises used by it or its agents, employees or contractors.

     5.02 Utilities . Tenant shall be responsible for contracting directly with all suppliers of utility services. In the event that any charge or fee is required by the State in which the Premises are located or by any agency, subdivision or instrumentality thereof, or by any utility company or other entity furnishing services or utilities to the Premises, as a condition precedent to furnishing or continuing to furnish utilities or services to the Premises, such charge or fee shall be deemed to be a utility charge payable by Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph shall include, but shall not be limited to, any charges or fees for present or future water or sewer capacity to serve the Premises, any charges for the underground installation of gas or other utilities or services, and other charges relating to the extension of or change in the facilities necessary to provide the Premises with adequate utility services. Tenant may elect to cause the separate metering of utilities to various portions of the Building. If Tenant makes such an election, the costs of such separate metering shall be at the sole and exclusive cost of Tenant. In the event Tenant fails to pay any such charge or fee contemplated by this Section 5.02 , Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such charges or fees on Tenant’s behalf and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such utility charge at the default rate of interest on all amounts owed until paid upon Landlord’s demand therefor. The inability of Tenant to obtain, or any stoppage of, the utility services referred to in this Article 5 resulting from any cause (other than Landlord’s wrongful acts) shall not make Landlord liable in any respect for damages to any person, property or business, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or other relief from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE 6.
INSURANCE

     6.01 Tenant’s Insurance .

          (a) Tenant shall :

     (i) keep the Building and the improvements on the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire, windstorm, tornado and hail and all other hazards covered by the usual extended coverage and “all risk” endorsements of

whatsoever kind (“ Property Insurance ”), including, without limitation, coverage for loss or damage by water, flood (if required by Landlord), sprinkler leakage, subsidence, building ordinance for legal non-conforming use, if applicable. Such Property Insurance shall be (x) sufficient to prevent Landlord and Tenant from becoming co-insurers under provisions of applicable policies of insurance, and (y) in the amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the “Replacement Cost” of the Building.

     (ii) provide and keep in force general commercial liability insurance (“ Liability Insurance ”) against liability for bodily injury and death and property damage, such Liability Insurance to be not less than Two Million Dollars and No/100 ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence and Two Million Dollars and No/100 ($2,000,000.00) annual general aggregate for liability for bodily injury, death and property damage, and not less than Two Million Dollars and No/100 ($2,000,000.00) excess liability coverage, and shall include the Premises and all sidewalks adjoining or appurtenant to the Premises, shall contain blanket contractual coverage and shall also provide the following protection:

     (1) completed operations;

     (2) personal injury protection;

     (3) employees as additional insured coverage;

     (4) Blanket Contractual Liability coverage; which includes Landlord as additional insured as Landlord’s interest may appear as respects the Premises as defined in this Lease;

     (iii) provide and keep in force workers’ compensation and occupational disease providing statutory benefits for all persons employed by Tenant at or in connection with the Premises;

     (iv) provide and keep in force business interruption insurance that provides coverage for lease payments as a continuing expense during the period of interruption, but not to exceed 12 months;

     (v) if a sprinkler system shall be located in any portion of the Building, provide and keep in force sprinkler leakage insurance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord;

     (vi) provide and keep in force boiler, machinery and pressure vessel insurance in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) per occurrence on a combined basis covering direct property loss and loss of income and providing for all steam, mechanical and electrical equipment, including, without limitation, all boilers, unfired pressure vessels, piping and wiring; and

     (vii) provide and keep in force such other insurance and coverages and in such amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required by Landlord or any Mortgagee against such other insurable hazards as at the time are commonly insured against in the case of prudent owners of like buildings and improvements.

          (b) Whenever, under the terms of this Lease, Tenant is required to maintain insurance, Landlord shall be an additional named insured for Liability Insurance and loss payee for Property Insurance. If the Premises shall be subject to any Mortgage, the Liability Insurance shall, if required by such Mortgage, name the Mortgagee as an additional named insured, under a standard “noncontributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent and the Property Insurance shall, if required by such Mortgage, name the Mortgagee as a loss payee, and permitting the Mortgagee to collect all proceeds pertaining to the damaged mortgage property thereunder, subject to the terms of this Lease.

          (c) Coverage amounts with respect to any insurance required hereby shall be increased or decreased every fifth (5th) Lease Year during the Term (subject to CPI adjustment), other than with respect to Section 6.01(a)(i) which will always be maintained at one hundred percent (100%)of the Replacement Cost of the Building. For purposes of calculating fluctuations in the CPI, the calendar year 2008 shall be considered the base year (the “ Base Year ”). With respect to the coverage amounts, the initial requirements hereinabove stated shall constitute the “ Base Amount ”, and the Base Amount, as adjusted by the CPI pursuant hereto, shall be the “ Adjusted Amount ”. The Adjusted Amount shall be determined as follows: The Base Amount shall be increased or decreased to equal the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Base Amount by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the CPI for the then expiring Lease Year, and the denominator of which is the CPI for the Base Year. For each such adjustment, the Base Amount used for the initial calculation shall continue to be used for each subsequent application of this provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, coverage amounts shall never be less than the amounts stated in Section 6.01(a) above.

     6.02 Payment of Losses .

          (a) Subject to Article 14 , the loss under all policies required by any provision of this Lease insuring against damage to the Building by fire or other casualty shall be payable:

     (i) to Tenant, as trustee, if the amount thereof is less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), otherwise to the Depositary.

If a loss shall be payable to Tenant, as trustee, Tenant, provided that there is no Default by Tenant hereunder, (1) shall hold the insurance proceeds with respect to such loss in trust for the sole purpose of paying the cost of the Restoration, and (2) shall apply such proceeds first to the payment in full of the cost of the Restoration before using any part of the same for any other purpose. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of completion of the Restoration within thirty (30) days thereafter. Within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, Tenant shall pay over to Landlord the unapplied proceeds and the trust obligations hereunder with respect to such proceeds shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Default by Tenant

hereunder, Tenant shall pay (or assign) all insurance proceeds with respect to such loss to Landlord.

          (b) All Insurance Policies shall be in such form and shall be issued by such responsible companies licensed and authorized to do business in the State where the Premises are located as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. All such companies shall have a policyholder rating of not less than A-VII, as rated in the most recent edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide for insurance companies or, if Best’s ceases to be published, in a similar rating guide reasonably acceptable to Landlord. All policies referred to in this Lease shall be procured, or caused to be procured, by Tenant, at no expense to Landlord, and for periods of not less than one (1) year. Evidence of Insurance (ACORD 27 or in such other form acceptable to Landlord) shall be delivered to Landlord on or before each anniversary of the effective date of the policy, together with paid receipts therefor. Premiums on policies shall not be financed in any manner whereby the lender, on default or otherwise, shall have the right or privilege of surrendering or canceling or requesting the surrender or cancellation of the policies, provided, however, that premiums may be paid in such installments as are permitted pursuant to the provisions of the applicable policy so long as payment by installments will not allow the insurer thereunder to cancel said policy. If Tenant fails to submit such policies or certificates to Landlord within the specified time, or otherwise fails to obtain and maintain insurance coverages in accordance with this Article 6 , then, Landlord, upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to cure within said period, may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, Tenant, and if Landlord exercises such right and expends any funds to obtain such insurance, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such amounts upon demand, it being understood that any such sums for which Tenant is required to reimburse Landlord shall constitute additional rent under this Lease. Such a failure shall constitute a Default hereunder and the reimbursement obligations herein shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination hereof.

          (c) Tenant and Landlord shall cooperate in connection with the collection of any insurance moneys that may be due in the event of loss, and Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver such proofs of loss and other instruments which may be required for the purpose of obtaining the recovery of any such insurance moneys.

          (d) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Lease to be furnished by Tenant, unless Landlord and each Mortgagee is included therein as additional named insureds with any loss payable as provided in this Lease. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the carrying of any such separate insurance and shall cause the same to be delivered as required in this Lease.

          (e) Tenant shall not violate or permit to be violated any of the conditions or provisions of any of the Insurance Policies, or take or fail to take any action that could impair coverage under the Insurance Policies, and Tenant shall so perform and satisfy or cause to be performed and satisfied the requirements of the companies writing such policies so that at all times companies of good standing, satisfactory to Landlord (as provided in Section 6.02(a) hereof), shall be willing to write and continue such insurance and all such Insurance Policies shall continue in full force and effect without interruption and with all premiums paid.

          (f) Each Insurance Policy and each certificate therefor issued by the insurer shall contain (i) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be cancelled or modified without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premiums) prior written notice to Landlord and each Mortgagee, and (ii) a waiver of subrogation by the insurer of any right to recover the amount of any loss resulting from the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or licensees.

          (g) Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant’s failure to provide and keep in force insurance, as aforesaid, to the amount of the insurance premium or premiums not paid or incurred by Tenant and which would have been payable under such insurance, but Landlord shall also be entitled to recover as damages for such breach the uninsured amount of any loss, to the extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by the provisions of this Lease, and damages, costs and expenses of suit suffered or incurred by reason of damage to, or destruction of, the Premises occurring during any period when Tenant shall have failed or neglected to provide insurance as aforesaid.

          (h) Tenant hereby waives any and every claim for recovery from the Landlord for any and all loss or damage to the Land, Improvements or the Building or to the contents thereof, whether such loss or damage is due to the negligence of Landlord or its agents or employees, which loss or damage is required to be insured pursuant to this Lease, or the Restrictions; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate insurance coverage of the waiving party; provided further, that Tenant agrees to give written notice of the terms of this waiver to each insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, policies of physical damage to it, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waiver and provided further that such insurance company waives all rights of subrogation which it might have against Landlord.

     6.03 Blanket or Umbrella Policy . The insurance required by this Lease, at the option of Tenant, may be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Tenant covering the Premises and other properties owned or leased by Tenant, provided that the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Lease and allocate to the Premises the specified coverage, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other premises covered therein.

     6.04 Loss Deductibles . All insurance provided for under Section 6.01 , excepting workers compensation insurance and liability insurance (which will be for such amount of not more than $1,000,000.00 each and for workers compensation insurance contain such deductions as permitted by applicable statutes), may contain loss deductible (or similar) clauses of no more than Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (subject to CPI Adjustment), except for “catastrophe perils,” such as flood where market standard deductibles are acceptable.
